At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 233 Return to the team
Although these teams look extremely powerful, in Du Zhe's opinion, they are just that.

Although the combination of Billups + Anthony + Stoudemire seems very good, this combination has offense but no defense. In the fierce playoffs, it will not be a big deal.

Moreover, in Du Zhe's previous life, these three people had never worked together.

In the Knicks at that time, the three of them also played together briefly, but there was actually no chemical reaction. Coupled with the impact of injuries, the team's record in the playoffs could be said to be extremely dismal.

However, just because the Big Three of the Knicks in the previous life didn't make any difference, it doesn't mean that this new Big Three of the Nuggets can't do it.

Du Zhe is still looking forward to this new-look Nuggets team, which can bring him some surprises in the new season.

As for the Thunder, although it looks good, it will take time for Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka and others to grow up. Although Ray Allen is experienced, he has actually begun to decline.

Durant is the only one who can take the lead in the entire team at critical moments.

But Du Zhe is worthy of Durant. He is confident that he can wipe out the Thunder young master in one-on-one.

The only team that Du Zhe thinks is a bit of a threat is the Heat, which forms the new Big Three.

Using Johnson to defeat James, although the book strength is weaker, it also eliminates one of the biggest uncertainties.

In this way, the Heat, with Wade as the core, may be able to create something different from the previous life.

Of course, other teams are busy operating, and the Warriors are not idle either.

After introducing many All-Star players such as James, David Lee and Jr. O'Neal, in recent days, the Warriors traded veteran Corey Maggette to the Eastern Nets in exchange for Alian and a second-rounder. Draft picks.

On the one hand, this operation is to release the team's salary space. After all, Maggette's annual contract amount for the next three years will be around 1000 million U.S. dollars. This is not good for the Warriors, whose salary space may be very tight in the future. It's a small sum.

Coupled with the current presence of Du Zhe and James, Maggette's black hole style of ball ownership cannot guarantee his tactical status in the Warriors.

In this case, it's better to get together and relax and let Maggette go to the weak team to happily brush up the statistics.

The reason why they wanted to trade for Arab League was that, in addition to the other party's relatively low salary, the more important reason was Arab League's Chinese identity.

Currently, because of Du Zhe's presence, the Warriors have overshadowed the Rockets and become the number one home team for Chinese fans.

The new boss of the Warriors is obviously not satisfied with this. In order to further increase the value of the team after he takes over, he decided to further open up the Chinese market.

Arab League, the only Chinese star to play in the NBA besides Du Zhe, naturally became the target of the trade.

Although the strength may be a bit lacking, the Arab League's salary is low, and a rotation substitute is enough.

Coupled with the undrafted Jeremy Lin who came here without a visa this summer, the Warriors now have three yellow-skinned players in one go, which is the only one in the NBA.

…………

After figuring out the league's structure, Du Zhe took the opportunity to study the rewards for his participation in the World Championships.

In this world championship, he led the national team to third place, and the system provided a charging item called "The Balancer".

The specific effect seems to be that when your teammates on the field perform more abnormally and stretch their hips more, this prop can absorb more negative energy.

When enough negative energy is accumulated, the user can activate the balancer effect and obtain a certain feedback bonus.

Du Zhe didn't know exactly how much bonus it would have. After all, the energy tank corresponding to this thing was still empty and couldn't work yet.

"This thing probably won't be very useful in the NBA, but it might be useful to keep it for the national team to play international games."

Du Zhe studied for a long time and made the above judgment.

…………

In the next period of time, in addition to resting, Du Zhe actively exercised to prepare for the new season.

Soon it’s time for the start of preseason.

The Warriors' new and old players, after the long offseason, have returned to the team and begun preparing for the new season.

As the team boss and the core of last season's championship, Du Zhe came to the team training hall early to start training.

Subsequently, the Warriors' new and old players also walked into the venue in twos and threes, preparing for the fixed physical tests before the start of the new season.

As the team leader, Du Zhe, who has always been self-disciplined, also came to the venue early to start warming up and preparing for the necessary physical test before the start of the new season.

"Hi! Brother Zhe, you're here so early!"

Du Zhe was slightly surprised when he heard someone greeting him.

He came to the arena early enough, but he didn't expect that there would be someone ahead of him.

But he knew without looking that the owner of the voice must be Stephen Curry.

"Haha, you are also very energetic, Stephen!"

"It looks like I can't keep the honor of being the first one to come to the gym for training every day!" Du Zhe couldn't help but joke.

When Curry saw Du Zhe walking in, he also stopped training and walked over while dribbling the ball casually.

"It won't work if we don't work hard, Brother Zhe, look at how the alliance is rolled up now."

"Not to mention comparing with you, Brother Zhe, even if I compare with Durant and James, my talent is not as good as theirs. Do you think I can still do it if I don't work hard in training?"

Curry said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Hearing Curry's words, Du Zhe felt a little ashamed.

Although he has been training very hard over the past year, without systematic bonuses, given his talent, he might not even be able to get into the NBA even after ten years of training.

Du Zhe didn't want to get an advantage and act like a good boy. After a moment of silence, he could only continue to encourage Curry.

"Stephen, your talent is no worse than theirs. Your performance in the first year of playing in the NBA is already much better than most rookies."

"And James and Durant should be envious of you now. If nothing else, you have a championship, do they?"

Du Zhe was not completely used to the fact that James had become his teammate, so he accidentally brought James along with him.

…………

After a while, other Warriors players arrived in twos and threes.

Among them are faces that Du Zhe is familiar with, but most of them are new and unfamiliar players.

Although Ah Lian is a newcomer to the team, he and Du Zhe are also from China. The two of them had just fought side by side to win the third place at the World Championships in the summer. When meeting old friends in a foreign country, they naturally had to have a good chat.

However, Ah Lian has a boring personality. After chatting with Du Zhe, he silently ran to a corner of the arena to warm up alone, with no intention of communicating with other new teammates.As an undrafted player, Jeremy Lin's status in the team belongs to the bottom. However, considering that everyone is yellow, Du Zhe also said hello to him with dignity.

This made the young Jeremy Lin very flattered.

David Lee and O'Neal, who just joined this summer, are long-established stars in the league. Of course, Du Zhe must give some face to these two veterans.

It is also his responsibility as the team leader to unite every player.

Including Curry, several people gathered in a circle and began to chat about some interesting things during the offseason, which was a preliminary way to strengthen their relationship.

After all, although Du Zhe and Curry are capable, their playing time in the NBA is too short, and they are not familiar with these veteran stars. They can only slowly strengthen their understanding step by step.

The just-concluded World Championships has naturally become a common topic among several people.

"Don't tell me, Brother Zhe really killed everyone in Turkey in the summer. To be honest, after the first half, I really thought we were going to overturn!"

When he mentioned the battle between the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and the Dream Team some time ago, Curry's eyes lit up and his heart surged.

Although David Lee and O'Neal Jr. did not watch the live broadcast, they also watched the replay of the game afterwards.

Du Zhe single-handedly played against the dream team and convinced them long ago.

Hearing Curry talk about this, the two of them immediately became energetic.

"I also watched that game. If it were any current NBA star in Du Zhe's position at that time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to perform like this!"

"Active service? I think even if we count all the stars in history, it is probably difficult for anyone to achieve the level of Du Zhe!"

"You must know that Du Zhe not only had to fire unlimitedly on the offensive end, but also had to deal with Durant on the defensive end. His ability to withstand pressure is not comparable to that of ordinary stars!"

Even Du Zhe, who was used to big winds and waves, was a little embarrassed to be blown away by several people in front of him.

He spoke quickly, interrupting the compliments of several people.

"Haha, this is all in the past. We still have to look forward and play hard this season. Let's strive to win another championship!"

Just when a few people were chatting happily, members of the coaching staff and management walked in one after another.

The leader is head coach Old Nelson. In Du Zhe's previous life, this Qian Sheng coach was supposed to retire this season, but his success in winning the championship last season was tantamount to giving him a shot in the arm, allowing the old coach to Choose to stick around for one more season.

And LeBron James, who had not shown his face just now, was finally coming out after being repeatedly called for.

I saw him chatting and laughing with several management members of the team and giving advice. This behavior seemed incompatible with the players who were warming up off the court.

"Is James here to play basketball or to be a general manager?"

"As expected of a genius with top business acumen, he has not even retired yet, but he is already paving the way for joining the management?"

Several veteran players couldn't help but secretly curse.

Of course, strength speaks for itself on the court. Although the players off the court look unhappy, James' strength is there, so he can only complain in his heart.

"Pop! Pah! Pah!" Head coach Nelson clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Okay, guys, welcome back...or welcome to Oracle Arena!"

Old Nelson looked around and found that there were more new faces than old faces, so he quickly added another sentence.

"We will spend the next season together. I hope that everyone can work together and fight side by side like brothers and family! Continue to build on our glory from last season!"

"Without further ado, let's start the physical test now!"

When it comes to physical testing, many players have embarrassed looks on their faces.

Professional players are also human beings. During the long offseason, in order to soothe their physical fatigue and pass the long time, they often choose to take a colorful vacation.

Going out on vacation to experience exotic locales, hanging out in nightclubs and enjoying music every night, smoking and drinking while getting your hair done...these are some of the regular choices that NBA stars make during the long offseason.

Of course, there are also some stars who like to find other ways.

For example, some stars like to train and compete with the football team during the offseason, some stars are addicted to video games during the offseason, and some stars are keen on playing online with netizens during the offseason...

There are very few perverts like Du Zhe who spent two consecutive summers either playing games or in the training hall.

Therefore, many players' physical condition will decline somewhat after returning to the team in the new season.

Therefore, it is still necessary to conduct physical tests before the start of the game to understand the physical condition of the players.

Starting from the simplest measurement of height and weight, many players are much fatter than last season.

Old Nelson and several assistant coaches frowned, but they didn't say anything.

This level of weight change is basically within the normal fluctuation range for these big men who can easily reach 1.9 meters or even more than [-] meters.

After the start of the game, it is not difficult to recover through high-intensity competition and a reasonable diet.

Basically, as long as you don't surrender to yourself like "Rain Man" Shawn Kemp, who was so fat that you couldn't even touch the frame, you can accept it.

"LeBron James is 2 meters tall and weighs 06 kilograms!" After James measured his height and weight, the assistant coach immediately reported it to head coach Nelson.

Hearing this number, James nodded with satisfaction. Anyway, as a professional player, he is still very self-disciplined. This alone surpasses many ordinary players.

And because after coming to the Warriors, he planned to focus on the outside, so he did not deliberately gain weight.

Nelson also showed a look of approval on his face. The gap between top superstars and ordinary players is not only reflected in talent, but sometimes also in the accumulation of bit by bit.

"Du, it's your turn." The staff on the side walked to Du Zhe and reminded him.

All the other players have completed this test, and only Du Zhe, the team leader, is left.

The curious eyes of all the players and staff on the sidelines were also focused on Du Zhe.

Looking at his ridiculously thick body, everyone couldn't help but gulp. This guy seemed a bit too strong...

Even Nelson couldn't help but sweat. He knew that Du Zhe was a famous muscle-building maniac in the team. His weight reached 120 kilograms last season, which is quite heavy among outside players.

But... after not seeing each other for a summer, Old Nelson felt that Du Zhe's figure was obviously a bit thicker.

"Isn't this kid continuing to gain weight..." Old Nelson whispered desperately in his heart.
