Draymond Green's playing quickly aroused dissatisfaction from others.
Among them, Andre Iguodala is one of them. As the team's starting striker last season, he received much more attention than Draymond Green.
In addition, his statistics are better than Draymond Green. The most important thing is that he entered the league with the ninth pick in the first round, and Draymond Green was just a second-round pick. A third-year player, if the Warriors hadn't given him a chance, he might have left the league long ago.
No matter how he compares, Andre Iguodala doesn't think he is weaker than Draymond Green. As a veteran who has been fighting in this league for ten years, he is not willing to give up his starting position to a newcomer, or a newcomer. A newcomer who doesn't know what to say.
"Coach Steve, I don't agree with this arrangement..."
Andre Iguodala stepped forward directly.
Steve Kerr was not surprised. He just stared at him and asked, "What do you think is wrong with this arrangement?"
Originally, Andre Iguodala wasn't going to say it directly, but he didn't expect that Draymond Green was so proud that he openly sided with head coach Steve Kerr to confront Andre Iguodala. Andre Iguodala started talking.
"Andre, what are you thinking about?"
"Why don't you agree with Coach Steve's arrangements? Man, do you think you can still play in the starting lineup? Maybe your ability is not bad, but you are old, you are 30 years old... now It’s time to free up your position for those outstanding young people..."
Draymond Green said, and he specifically gestured to himself. It seemed that he was the outstanding young man he said.
This statement immediately angered Andre Iguodala.
"Coach Steve, I don't think this guy deserves to be a starter...I don't think he's better than me..."
Andre Iguodala made such a statement, and other people's eyes immediately focused on the two of them.
Draymond Green didn't expect Andre Iguodala to be dissatisfied with him, and his face suddenly became livid, but he has always been shameless and didn't care about such accusations.
"Oh! Really?"
"You think you are very powerful? How about we compete? You old guy, do you think I will be afraid of you?"
The two are still arguing here.
Another man also stood up.
The person who stood up was none other than Zhao Feiyang.
Although the team initially planned to let him play in the second team, the Warriors never said he couldn't fight for it. Even coach Steve Kerr informed the players before selecting the lineup so that they could Work hard for what you want.
Therefore, Zhao Feiyang will certainly not default to being a substitute.
Even if you have to sacrifice as a last resort, you must prove your strength! Otherwise, being a substitute will greatly affect his status in the team and his future bargaining power.
"Coach Steve, I don't agree either."
"Clay is very capable, but I also want to challenge him... After all, no one doesn't want to do better..."
As soon as Zhao Feiyang said these words, the entire scene was shocked.
Although Andre Iguodala's request is straightforward, it is still relatively reasonable. After all, although he is only 30 years old now and is not as strong as he was at his peak, compared to Draymond Green, whose performance last season was average. In fact, he is completely qualified to ask himself to be the starter.
He is a veteran and has his own status in the league. Based on this alone, Draymond Green is indeed not enough.
At least for now.
But Zhao Feiyang is different. This season is only the second season of his career, and he is older than Klay Thompson.
Although he played very well in last season's finals and became famous instantly, it has to be said that Klay Thompson still has advantages.
Firstly, he has an age advantage. He is only 25 years old now and is at the peak of his career. Secondly, he has been working with the Warriors for several years. It can be said that apart from Stephen Curry, he is the Warrior. The team's most valued player.
Zhao Feiyang's challenge was undoubtedly a step beyond his level.
If it weren't for the blessing of those wonderful performances in the finals, as soon as he said these words, I'm afraid he would not only be surprised by his teammates, but also ridiculed by the entire team from top to bottom.
"Zhao, I accept your challenge!"
Klay Thompson was not angry because of this. On the contrary, he was eager to try and seemed to be looking forward to it.
He even shook hands with Zhao Feiyang and gave him a high five.
"Clay, I understand what you mean. Regardless of winning or losing, I hope it will not affect our relationship...nor the team..."
"Of course. You are a very powerful guy. I have wanted to find a chance to fight with you for a long time..."
The two were full of fighting spirit, but maintained respect for each other.
It is in stark contrast to Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green.
"I also want to challenge."
While everyone was looking forward to the next showdown, another voice stood up.
The person who said this was Dennis Grant.
As soon as he raised his hand, Stephen Curry's eyes fell on him. After all, it is obvious that Dennis Grant was assigned to serve as Stephen Curry's substitute. If Dennis Grant does not challenge Stephen Curry, then who else can he challenge?
There's no way he's going to steal Klay Thompson's No. 2 spot, right?
"Dennis, I accept your challenge!"
Stephen Curry did not look down upon the opponent because he was a newcomer. He stood up and said seriously.
However, the next second, Dennis Grant's response surprised everyone.
"Stephen, I don't want to challenge you... I want to challenge Clay..."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Head coach Steve Kerr stared at him with a retarded expression.
"Dennis, what do you want to do?"
Steve Kerr walked up and asked.
"I want to challenge Clay!"
"Klay plays the No. 2 position, and I assigned you to the No. 1 position. You are responsible for organizing the offense and controlling the ball on the bench. Even if you want to challenge, it should be to challenge Stephen. How could you think of challenging Klay? Lai?"
Steve Kerr was very puzzled.
Dennis Grant, however, was confident and confident. He suddenly pointed at Zhao Feiyang and explained in front of everyone, "He can challenge Clay, why can't I?"
Everyone was really speechless.
Even Draymond Green, who has always had a good relationship with Dennis Grant, laughed.
"Dennis, are you still awake?"
"You guys, just come and challenge me! I will give you the starting power forward position... Come on, man, give it a try..."
