Dennis Grant, who was blocked, was very dissatisfied, especially after seeing Zhao Feiyang score easily, he became increasingly unconvinced that he was inferior to Zhao Feiyang.
Basketball out of bounds.
The ball is still in the Warriors' hands.
Snapped.
Teammates gave the ball to Dennis Grant again.
Zhao Feiyang planned to go up to cover, but when he saw Dennis Grant reaching out and making a gesture to open the singles, he "knowingly" stepped aside and silently became a spectator.
Chris Paul also followed up to mark him again. The two met each other, and Dennis Grant changed direction and pulled away. His swing was very fast, but this failed to deceive Chris Paul.
Seeing that the breakthrough failed, Dennis Grant suddenly stepped back and planned to shoot directly by virtue of his height higher than Chris Paul.
However, the next second, he was just about to raise the basketball and take a shot. The moment he raised his hand to join the ball, Chris Paul slapped the basketball in his hand.
boom.
The basketball rolled out.
Dennis Grant looked panicked. When he went up to grab it, Chris Paul had already grabbed the basketball in his hands.
"Damn it!"
Dennis Grant cursed and looked unhappy.
Chris Paul didn't panic at all. He accelerated the ball to the basket, leaned against Dennis Grant with one side of his body, and threw the ball with the other hand.
Snapped.
The basketball hit the backboard and fell firmly into the basket.
Dennis Grant, who was blocked, did not have the experience of an experienced shooter like Chris Paul, and for a while he could only watch the latter score.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Chris Paul shook his head deliberately and sighed.
Such an expression made Dennis Grant extremely angry.
In the rest of the third quarter, Dennis Grant did not dare to act rashly, especially when playing against Chris Paul, he was more cautious than before.
In addition to Zhao Feiyang scoring a few wonderful goals at the beginning, in order to protect his health at other times, he only ended the battle with shooting.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
The third quarter comes to an end.
In the remaining time, the main players of both sides just played for a while and did not engage in too fierce confrontation.
Not long after, the game officially ended.
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 109-103.
Zhao Feiyang played 12 minutes and scored 16 points.
As a rookie, Dennis Grant played 26 minutes, but unfortunately he only scored 21 points. Especially after encountering Chris Paul's blow, Dennis Grant's data plummeted.
The first preseason game is over.
Soon, the next few preseason games followed.
In these games, the Warriors still only sent out newcomers and substitutes for training, and the main players and core players were basically in a state of paddling.
As soon as the preseason ended, the regular season finally arrived.
In order to obtain enough ratings, the league specially arranged its own opponents for each team. Among them, the Miami Heat qualified for the opening game. Their opponent was also the opponent in last season's finals, the San Antonio Spurs.
In addition to them, the Cleveland Cavaliers also qualified for the opening game, but their opponent was the Los Angeles Lakers.
After a season of rest, the Los Angeles Lakers finally welcomed their core player Kobe Bryant. Although Kobe Bryant's condition declined rapidly due to injuries and age, he still has good fighting ability.
LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are the two biggest names in the league.
Now everyone can see that Kobe Bryant may retire in less than two seasons. If he leaves, it is entirely possible that LeBron James's popularity will take over from him as the "first man in the league" .
The league has been shaping idols since the days of Michael Jordan, shaping a player who can carry the NBA banner. He must be popular enough, be topical enough, and be one of the top players in the league. .
There is no doubt that LeBron James is qualified.
Although the matter of "teaming up" has been criticized by fans, his reputation outside the court is still good. There are no scandals, the family environment is quite harmonious, and charity has never been neglected.
Compared to Kobe Bryant's "Eagle County Incident", compared to Dwight Howard's numerous illegitimate children, compared to Kevin Durant's introversion and "Scarlett, I want to drink your bathwater", Le Brown James' public image is undoubtedly relatively satisfactory to the league.
Therefore, the showdown between the league's new "number one" and the "past king" will undoubtedly attract the attention of the vast majority of people.
On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors, although they have made many operations this season, they failed to get a chance in the opening game.
However, as the regular season officially begins, one of the more important things for the Warriors is the arrangement of the lineup.
How to adjust the team's starting lineup and substitute lineup has become what most players are looking forward to.
Of course, coach Mark Jackson's arrangement no longer applies, so the players want to know what will be different under head coach Steve Kerr's coaching system.
Team training day.
morning.
Coach Steve Kerr brought his assistant team to the training hall early in the morning. After the physical training, Coach Steve Kerr also gathered the players together.
"We have made a lot of changes this season. No matter what, we have only one goal, and that is to reach the finals..."
"You must be thinking, why should I, a rookie coach, go to the finals? What qualifications do I have to say such a thing? I tell you, I will build you into the most united team in this league... "
"Whether you are a starter or a substitute, what I hope is that you can play team tactics. Basketball is never a one-person sport..."
"Now I need you to play a game. This is the starting lineup I need: No. 1 Stephen Curry, No. 2 Klay Thompson, No. 3 Harrison Barnes, No. 4 Dre Mond Green......The fifth position is held by Andrew Bogut......"
As soon as coach Steve Kerr's arrangements came out, the starting players performed differently.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson didn't react much. After all, they were also starting players in the hands of Mark Jackson last season. As the two cornerstones of the team, they are not worried about their team status.
However, Draymond Green is obviously different. He only had 12 starting opportunities last season and did not receive much attention.
Therefore, he was very proud of his entry into the starting lineup, and even started to sneer in front of everyone.
"Oh! I said I would definitely be the starter, who else but me?"
"Guys, I will protect you from now on... I am not saying that I want to be your boss. Of course, I can reluctantly agree if you need it..."
