"Zhao, you are finally back!"
"We are waiting for you..."
The people who stood up to speak were Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala.
These two people are considered to have a better relationship with Zhao Feiyang in the Warriors. The other teammates did not react much, especially Draymond Green and Dennis Grant. These two people ignored Zhao Feiyang at all. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.
Head coach Steve Kerr also stepped forward.
He did not appease Zhao Feiyang because he was needed by the team at this time. Instead, he looked at Zhao Feiyang with a serious face, "Zhao, I need to know what you have been doing in the past two days... Why did you Didn’t come to the team’s training…”
Zhao Feiyang shrugged indifferently.
"Coach Steve, I respect you, but when did you even take charge of the Santa Cruz Warriors?"
"Before I reported to the team, I was still a member of the Santa Cruz Warriors... What's more, how long will it take for me to be traded now? It's only a matter of time before I leave! Will I come to training? What’s the difference?”
Zhao Feiyang's attitude also left coach Steve Kerr unable to refute.
After all, Zhao Feiyang was very reliable at the beginning, mainly because this wave of operations by the Warriors was so disappointing.
"No matter what, I hope you understand that before you leave, you are a member of the Warriors..."
"No matter what others think, at least this is the case here..."
Coach Steve didn't say any more.
The game was about to start, and the players entered the stadium one after another under his leadership.
When Zhao Feiyang made his final appearance and walked out of the tunnel, the fans on the sidelines burst into deafening cheers.
The previous attendance rate, which had been reduced due to losing streak, has also changed today. Although the arena is still not full, it has reached at least 90%.
Compared with the space vacated by previous blockbusters, Oracle Arena today is obviously much more lively.
Without exception, these fans are all here for Zhao Feiyang's return.
"Zhao, welcome back!"
"Man, we've been waiting for you."
Many fans shouted and cheered, and some waved signs with slogans. The atmosphere in the entire stadium became different.
call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Players from both sides will take the stage after a brief warm-up.
Head coach Steve Kerr originally planned to arrange for Zhao Feiyang to play the No. 1 position to replace Stephen Curry's vacancy. However, when he set his sights on Zhao Feiyang, Zhao Feiyang deliberately avoided it.
He sat on the bench and looked around, his eyes constantly looking elsewhere, looking rather careless.
When coach Steve Kerr saw this, he did not let Zhao Feiyang be the starter. Instead, he named Dennis Grant on the side.
"I?"
Dennis Grant looked excited and planned to take off his coat and play.
However, Steve Kerr shook his head and pointed in the direction where he was, "Sean...come on..."
Sean Livingston, who was the substitute defender, was stunned for a moment, then quickly took off his coat and came on stage. Dennis Grant sat on the chair with a depressed look on his face, shaking his head and sighing, muttering something unknown.
The starting lineups of both sides appeared.
The Pelicans' lineup has not changed much. It is still led by Anthony Davis, the big-browed brother. The center position is role player Omir Asik, and the organizer of the team's offense is Eric Gordon.
Another bright spot is Tyreke Evans in the second position.
This player also entered the NBA in the 2009 draft.
For many fans, the 2009 draft was quite extraordinary. It was also the strongest draft year after the 1996 golden generation and the 2003 platinum generation.
There are quite a few star players coming out this year.
The first is Blake Griffin, the No. 1 pick. Although he suffered a season-ending injury in his first year in the league, he quickly performed brilliantly after returning from injury.
In a short period of time, he shocked the entire league with various explosive dunks, and made countless people realize that his status as the No. 1 pick was well deserved.
Ranked third is James Harden.
As a member of the Thunder's three young players, James Harden's performance when he first entered the league didn't seem that great. But as time went by, especially after he left a small place like Oklahoma City, his talent and strength began to show.
Although his entanglement with Khloe Kardashian really caused headaches for his teammates; even though his study of league rules surprised countless players; even though his persistence in nightclubs even exceeded Kobe's persistence at four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles.
No matter what, he is a very good player, with excellent physical fitness, first-rate ball control rhythm, and outstanding scoring ability. The defensive end is almost interesting, but it is mainly about attitude rather than ability.
Ranked fourth is Tyreke Evans.
He was selected by the Sacramento Kings and was developed as the cornerstone of the team from the beginning. He performed extremely well in his rookie season and easily secured his position as the starting point guard.
Played in 72 games, averaging 37.2 minutes per game, scoring 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals.
Tyreke Evans is also the fourth player in history to achieve such statistics in his rookie season.
So who are the top three?
They are Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
This player, who is said to be comparable to LeBron James, has super physical talent and outstanding scoring ability.
Rebounds, breakthroughs and assists are not a problem. He is a combo guard with relatively comprehensive skills.
In his rookie season, he was honored and won many honors.
For example, he was elected as the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for two consecutive months, won the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, and the Rookie of the Year honors.
It can be said that the debut is the peak.
Even Stephen Curry at that time was somewhat behind him.
Unfortunately, he failed to perform well with the Kings, and his low three-point shooting rate became his biggest problem. Later, the Kings saw no hope in him, so they sent Tyreke Evans to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Like many players, it is easy for their career to decline once they leave the team. After Tyreke Evans came to the Pelicans, his career did decline compared to before.
Fortunately, he still has the advantage of age.
After him, the names on the draft board are enough to make fans exclaim.
The fifth pick in the draft, Ricky Rubio, nicknamed "Golden Boy"; the seventh pick in the draft, Stephen Curry, the current absolute core of the Golden State Warriors; the ninth pick in the draft, DeMar DeRozan, Tenth place Brandon Jennings, the youngest man with 55 points.
