Chapter 227 The Battle of Revenge (5000 words)
10 month 26 day.

At 10:30 p.m. Washington time and 07:30 local time in San Francisco, the Oracle Center was brightly lit and full of voices.

Today is the opening day of the NBA2010-2011 season, and the Warriors are about to usher in the first game of the season. They will sit at home and face the Suns who eliminated them last season.

Before the game between the Warriors and the Suns, there are still two games to play, one is the Heat against the Celtics, this battle of the Big Three has attracted everyone's attention, the Big Three of the Celtics are already old, many people think that this Will be the first step for the Heat to dominate the league.

But what is surprising is that this game was indeed very exciting. The two teams played rather anxiously, but in the Heat, except for James who scored 43 points in 31 minutes, Wade and Bosh both played abnormally and scored 13 points each. , 8 points, causing the Heat to lose to the Celtics 80:88.

Many people taunted the Heat on the Internet after the game, causing fans of the Heat to retort. attention.

The defending champion is strong, but how can there be a game where six stars gather to attract attention?
As for the game between the Warriors and the Suns, there were quite a few viewers. After all, it was the opening game, but compared to those two games, it was much less. Only the fans of the Warriors were looking forward to revenge, and they were looking forward to this game. Many Suns Team fans were afraid to even watch the game.

This summer, the Suns, which once again failed in the Western Conference Finals, also ushered in a major change in the lineup. After talking with the Suns management, Stoudemire completed a five-year $5 million contract with the Knicks. Signed, switched to the Big Apple City, important substitute Barbosa was also traded, the Suns traded him and Dwayne Jones from the Raptors for Turkoglu.

The outside world generally expressed that they could not understand the operation of the Suns this summer. They took the initiative to dismantle a very strong core lineup, and in exchange for an aging small forward like Turkoglu, they let Stoudemire go in vain. Not even a sign-and-trade with the Knicks.

After some operations, the Suns lacked a strong end point that could cooperate with Nash in the pick-and-roll, and there was no substantial reinforcement on the outside. Bill Simmons bluntly said: "I declare that the Suns have withdrawn from the championship this season. Even playoff ranks!"

Tonight, the starting lineup of the Suns is Nash, Richardson, Grant Hill, Turkoglu and Robin Lopez. Lineup, highlighting an unpretentious.

The Warriors' starting lineup is Curry, Tony Allen, Butler, Green and Chandler, which has changed a lot from last season.

"Charles, what do you think of tonight's game?" Reggie Miller asked with a smile.

In the commentary on the sidelines, Reggie Miller, Barkley and Kenny Smith are three people. Of course, TNT will not miss the Warriors' opener. Barkley is wearing the same home jersey as Curry, with a A white shirt and trousers on the lower body look very funny and attract attention.

Barkley shook the collar of his jersey and said expressionlessly:
"See? My position should be very clear. The Warriors will win. The Suns dismantled their starting lineup, and the Warriors will further strengthen. I agree with Bill Simmons' statement-although his mouth is sometimes very Shit, without Stoudemire inside, the Suns are just a playoff team, no, they may not even make the playoffs!"

"Charles, I heard that someone on Twitter suggested that you and Coach Z start another bet on whether Curry will be selected to the best team this year and whether the Warriors will be ranked in the top four in the Western Conference after the regular season. You listen Did you say that?" Kenny Smith asked.

"I see." Barkley nodded.

"Why didn't you agree? I think you have a good chance of winning." Reggie Miller interjected.

"Ahem!" Buck coughed twice, solemnly said, "Heraclitus said that no one steps into the same river twice. I think this sentence is very reasonable. Bet twice."

"Heraclitus? Who is that?" Kenny Smith wondered.

"An ancient Greek philosopher! Kenny, you should read more books, otherwise I will be ashamed to sit with an uneducated person like you." Buckley gave him a contemptuous look, showing pride Yang Yang look.

"Really? I think you only know this sentence from Heraclitus, right? I've never seen you read a book!" Reggie Miller said sharply.

Barkley didn't feel embarrassed when he was pierced, he pulled his jersey:

"Okay, I admit Curry's jersey looks good, but it's so ugly with the shirt, and the thought of wearing it like this for a season... I might ass kiss my ass!"

"Hahaha……"

While the three were teasing each other, the starting players of both sides also stood on the field, and the game was about to start.

Zhang Yu came to the technical stage and shook hands with Gentry. When passing by the commentary booth, he gave Barkley a thumbs up, which caused Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith to ridicule again.

"Di-"

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially begins!
"Chandler successfully jumped the ball and gave the ball to Curry. The Warriors have the ball. Let's see how they plan to attack..."

When TNT sent a team of commentators to show their importance to the Warriors, CCTV also set up a lineup of commentators Yang Jian and Zhang Weiping to explain the opening game.

Since Yao Ming did not come back in the new season, CCTV did not choose to broadcast the game between the Rockets and the Lakers. Instead, it first broadcast the Heat playing the Celtics, and then broadcast the Warriors playing the Suns.

In Yang Jian's voice, the Warriors players rushed to the frontcourt like a tide, but they did not rush to complete the offense as they did last season. Green in the low post.

Zhang Weiping wondered:
"Hey, the Warriors actually took the initiative to slow down. This is not very common. Last season, they played as fast as they could, and Curry didn't play a pick-and-roll. Instead, he gave the ball to No. 23 Green. This is an inside call."

On the court, Green leaned against Turkoglu behind him after receiving the ball. Both of them are about two meters tall, but both play power forward positions, which is very rare.

After Green received the ball, Turkoglu put his hands on Green's waist, ready to defend his back play, but Green didn't mean to play back singles, but just protected the ball and watched his teammates' running positions there.

At the same time, Curry slowly walked back to the top of the arc, and suddenly ran back. With the help of Chandler's cover, he came to the sideline. Richardson was blocked by Chandler, and Robin Lopez did not come out inside. , It was too late to defend, Curry got a brief opportunity to open, he took aim at the frame calmly, raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.

brush!
This three-pointer, which was not much more difficult than training, was hollowed into the net. After the ball was scored, Richardson chased Curry.

3:0, the Warriors got off to a good start.

"Good shot! This strong-side teamwork is very ingenious. Green's scout report said that he has the ability to pass the ball, which seems to be true." Yang Jian praised.

"That's right, there is an advance amount for this shot, but it's mainly due to Curry's clever running. His counter-running tricked Richardson, otherwise Chandler wouldn't be able to block it so tightly." Zhang Weiping added .

Inside the Oracle Center, fans erupted in cheers after Curry hit a [-]-pointer, celebrating the team's first goal of the season.

In the noise of the court, the Suns sent the baseline ball, Nash dribbled to the frontcourt, and Robin Lopez played a pick-and-roll.

No matter how the Suns' lineup changes, the pick-and-roll will always be the foundation of the Suns' tactics. All subsequent changes in their positional battles are derived from the pick-and-roll led by Nash.

Tony Allen was playing against Nash. The reason why Zhang Yu didn't let Clay start was to give Nash the most "warm" hospitality.

But Robin Lopez firmly blocked Tony Allen behind him, and the Warriors immediately chose to switch defenses. Tony Allen followed Robin Lopez closely, and Chandler stopped in front of Nash. Take into account the position that interferes with his shooting and breakthrough.

Nash took two steps to the inside and lobbed the ball to Robin Lopez who was running down. According to the experience of the two teams in the playoffs last season, as long as Chandler defended, the Warriors' inside line would become extremely empty. , As long as Nash passes the ball in place, Robin Lopez is a dunk.

The basketball flew over Tony Allen's fingertips, allowing Robin Lopez to receive the ball in a very comfortable position, and he was able to start attacking the frame.

But after he took the first step, a short but solid figure stood in front of him. It was Green!
He has been paying attention to the pick-and-roll here. When Robin Lopez rolled down, he slightly relaxed his defense on the weak side corner Turkoglu and moved two steps to the basket, but he was still in a position where he could Get back in position in time to prevent Nash from tipping the ball to the corner.

It wasn't until Nash passed the ball that Green rushed straight to the basket without hesitation. When Robin Lopez rushed to the edge of the penalty area, he helped defend in place, raised his hands, and blatantly blocked him, blocking Robin Lopez's advance route.

At this time, Robin Lopez has no second choice. He can't see Turkoglu with his narrow vision, and he doesn't have the agility to switch to the European step immediately. Otherwise, he is not a blue-collar center. He rushed forward, collided with the high-jumping Green in the air, and threw the ball to the basket.

Surprisingly, Green, who was short Robin Lopez, was not knocked out, but fought him evenly!
Under such a fierce confrontation, Robin Lopez's stiff throw was naturally impossible to make. He used a little force, and the basketball hit the backboard, then bounced to the front of the basket, and bounced out.

Green, who landed, blocked Robin Lopez and protected the rebound.

Yang Jian said:

"Green's help defense was in place, preventing Lopez Jr. from going down, and also took off the rebound."

Zhang Weiping said with emotion:

"During the playoffs in April, the Warriors were eliminated because they couldn't defend the Suns' pick-and-roll and lacked a second player who could protect the rim besides Chandler. If Green was there, tsk tsk... ...Of course, this is just one round, we have to wait and see how Green's defense is."

CCTV broadcasted every playoff game of the Warriors, and Zhang Weiping explained three of them, clearly understanding the problems of the Warriors' defensive end.

On the court, when Green grabbed the rebound, Curry and Butler had rushed out like arrows off the string. He just looked up and quickly used a football quarterback to pass the ball. Throw it forward.

Curry, who was running, kept turning his head to pay attention to the movement of the ball. Seeing this, he ran two quick steps, just in time to catch the basketball flying from the backcourt.

Richardson, who played against Curry in the playoffs for 6 games, knew how powerful he was. After Robin Lopez missed a shot, he quickly retreated and followed Curry. After Curry caught the ball, he posted Come up, don't give him a chance to shoot.

But Curry didn't even look up at the frame. He stopped the basketball from the air with one hand, flicked his wrist, and the basketball hit the ground and bounced forward. Butler, who had already rushed into the Suns, bent slightly and picked up the basketball. After that, he took a big stride, jumped hard, and smashed the ball into the basket!
Grant Hill, who was facing him, had just passed halftime.

5:0, less than 1 minute into the game, the Warriors have taken a 5-point lead.

"Good shot! It was a beautiful goal. It took the Warriors only 4 seconds from Green's pass to Butler's dunk. This is even more of a blitz than a blitz!" Yang Jian exclaimed.

The Suns players were also a little confused, Gentry couldn't sit still, he got up and came to the sidelines, shouting:
"Hold on, slow down and fight, take your time, don't rush!"

Nash nodded to indicate that he knew. Under Tony Allen's defense from the backcourt, he carefully avoided his long arms and dribbled to the frontcourt.

The Suns still tried to play the pick-and-roll, but Green also shrank to the inside to help defend in time. Robin Lopez did not make a hard attack and returned the ball to Nash.

Nash glanced at the attack time. There were 8 seconds left, and it was too late to play another tactic. He passed it to Grant Hill, signaling the latter to end this attack through singles.

In the playoffs last season, Butler's defense was still a little immature, and Hill's singles against Butler was a repertoire that had to be staged in every game.

Although Hill has been devastated by serious injuries many times, his experience and skills have helped him to gain a foothold in the NBA even with his knees half disabled.

This time he was also very confident. His teammates all pulled away for him, cleared the left side for him, and let him single-handedly beat Butler.

"Hey, Hill singles Butler, old and new duel, one has experience, one has body, let's see if Butler has improved this summer, before Hill beat him not only with his hand, but also often scored points " Zhang Weiping said with some expectation.

The arena also fell silent, quietly watching the duel between the two, no matter how enthusiastic the Warriors fans were, they would not shout "defence" at the beginning of the game.

Facing Butler, Hill first made a tentative three-step threat with his left foot, but Butler was unmoved at all, but cautiously covered his shooting space, half squatting, ready to block his breakthrough at any time.

Hill saw that Butler was not fooled, so he stopped probing and made a forward change, pressing Butler to break through from the left side. Butler followed him calmly on the right side, not giving him a chance to go in the middle. , with his right hand raised high, covering his head all the time.

Hill supported Butler and walked to the mid-range position, and suddenly stopped, raising his hands as if to shoot, but Butler didn't take off, but just raised his right hand to block Hill, Hill raised his hand and shook it twice, But Butler just wouldn't jump.

At this time, there were only 2 seconds left in the attack time. Hill had no choice but to make a fallback jump shot, but Butler still didn't rush to take off, but kept facing Hill, and after applying resistance to his lower body, He jumped up to interfere with Hill's shot.

This is what Butler learned from Tony Allen. He warned Butler:
“Never think that you can block those super scorers, including the former super scorers. Block their shots!"

Bang!

Under Butler's near-perfect defense, Hill's shot was too wide, hit the edge of the basket and popped out, and was protected by Chandler.

He immediately handed the basketball to Curry beside him, and Curry slapped the ball forward hard and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

"After the successful defense, the Warriors fought back again!" Yang Jian said loudly.

On the court, Chandler grabbed the rebound as if it was a signal. The Warriors all rushed to the frontcourt. Tony Allen took the lead. Green and Butler flew on both wings. , can only be followed up later.

But the impact of the four has made this fast attack like a hurricane. The Suns players panicked, and there was an omission in the retreat. The two followed Tony Allen, and Hill chased Butler, but no one noticed. Green.

Under the defense of the two, Tony Allen did not go to the basket. Instead, after rushing into the three-point line, he ran towards the bottom corner and took away Richardson and Turkoglu. Take this opportunity and go straight to the basket.

The Suns players were shocked. The Warriors retreated too fast. They only cared about the people around them, but forgot to protect the penalty area!

But it was too late for them to wake up. Curry pushed with both hands in time and passed the ball straight to Green. After receiving the ball, the latter ran into the penalty area in two steps, soaring into the sky, and succeeded in a one-armed tomahawk dunk!

7: 0.

After landing, Green faced the auditorium behind the basket, bent his arms, the muscles on his arms bulged, his veins burst out, and he roared, baring his snow-white teeth, his face was ferocious, like the glaring eyes of King Kong.

boom!
The Oracle Center was in full swing, and the fans raised their arms like a forest, stood up one after another, cheered and shouted wildly, thousands of words finally merged into one sentence:
"Warrior—warrior!!"

In the opening 2 minutes, the Warriors have staged two wonderful fast breaks, detonating the atmosphere of the audience!
Zhang Weiping sighed:

"Look at Green's eyes, the Warriors players play with fire!"
