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

Chapter 32 Dream Footsteps
After targeting Scola, Du Zhe launched the Stealer's Gloves skill.

Then the system's prompt sounded: "Copy the opponent's back-up singles skills, and get the talent dream footsteps (gold level)."

With the acquisition of skills and talents, Du Zhe's comprehensive evaluation has also been further improved, directly touching the threshold of 80.

"The teenager Du Zhe is on the stage. I don't know if he can bring a little change to the dumb Warriors."

"Xiao Du felt hot from outside the three-point line today. The Warriors coach should have let him play a long time ago." Seeing Du Zhe on the stage, the two commentators started to comment one after another.

Seeing Du Zhe play, Budinger, who had just scored a three-pointer and was still in high spirits, suddenly shrank a little.

He couldn't say why. Anyway, when he saw this Chinese boy now, he felt very panicked. Even some of the most basic movements and tactics were a little stiff.

But since the coach did not mean to replace him, Budinger could only bite the bullet and go up.

After Du Zhe came on the stage, he did not run like in the second quarter, but played a pick-and-roll with Curry.

This is also the way the two of them often cooperated in Xialian, which is relatively simple and direct.

Taking advantage of the space where the Rockets point guard Aaron Brooks was blocked by Du Zhe, Curry moved towards the inside with extraordinary agility.

Budinger, who made up the defense, couldn't keep up with his footsteps at all. Curry made a direct throw and easily scored 2 points.

In the next few rounds, Curry and Du Zhe, who had tasted the sweetness, kept staring at Budinger.

In this way, Curry relied on his flexible footwork and Du Zhe's solid pick-and-roll to continue to make breakthroughs.

After the breakthrough, he either made a throw or a pull-up jump shot, and directly scored three consecutive points and scored 6 points.

The Rockets, on the other hand, lost their rules and were beaten a bit misfired. 87:92, the point difference between the two teams was once again pulled to 5 points.

Seeing that the team was overwhelmed by two unknown rookies, Rockets coach Rick Adelman couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly called a timeout, preparing to rearrange the defensive tactics and make the defense more solid. Trevor Ariza replaced Budinger.

The Warriors, on the other hand, will continue to respond to changes with the lineup on the field.

After all, this opportunity was created by the players on the field, and Nelson had no reason not to believe in them.

It has to be said that after Trevor Ariza came on the field, the defensive pressure on Du Zhe was indeed much greater than before.

The opponent can run and jump, but Du Zhe does not have the upper hand compared to him in terms of physical fitness.

And Ariza himself is also a very high-quality defensive player, even in the face of a player with quick feet like Curry, he will not lose his position as easily as Budinger.

Curry, who went in, couldn't find a chance to make a phone call, so he could only distribute the ball to Du Zhe who was outside the three-point line.

However, facing Battier's timely defense, Du Zhe, who had not yet adjusted, took a hasty shot and failed to hit the ball.

But in the next round, Du Zhe immediately used a fierce double-team to cause Scola's mistake and stabilized the situation.

It's a pity that the current little and fast Rockets are also very fast in returning to defense, and they don't give the Warriors a chance to break fast at all.

In positional battles, Ariza, who is physically stronger and has better defensive awareness, will naturally not give Du Zhe as many opportunities to shoot from outside the three-point line as Budinger did.

Seeing that he couldn't find an opportunity on the outside, Du Zhe didn't think about entangled with him too much, but used Randolph's pick-and-roll to go directly to the basket.

"Du Zhe went inside, see if his teammates can find a passing route, and give him an alley-oop!" Including the Summer League game, Director Zhang has watched Du Zhe's games for several times. He thinks he is already very familiar with the style of play.

"Oh! It's a pity that I didn't rush in!"

"Why did my teammate pass the ball in? This pass is unreasonable!"

Director Zhang was a little anxious when he saw Du Zhe entangled with Ariza in the low post. When he saw Curry feeding the ball to Du Zhe in the low post, he was a little confused.

"Yes, Du Zhe is good at running without the ball on the offensive end. Whether it is a three-pointer after running or an air-cut dunk, he is very threatening. Singles with the ball in the low post is not his area of ​​expertise." Director Yu calmly said Analysis and deep agreement.

"Quickly spread the word, reorganize the attack!" Director Zhang said anxiously, as if he wanted to remind Du Zhe.

Du Zhe, who was far away across the ocean, naturally couldn't hear Director Zhang's words.

Even if he heard it, he wouldn't pass the ball.

Du Zhe, who was in the low position, first took the ball out with both hands and made a pass.

"Fake Fax Casting!" Ariza instantly judged Du Zhe's next move, which he could see through at a glance.

Sure enough, as he expected, Du Zhe did not pass the ball out, but quickly turned around for a layup.

"It's a bit clever, but that's it." After understanding Du Zhe's intention, Ariza reacted immediately and defended.

However, Du Zhe's move was still a false move, he used the pivot foot as the axis, quickly pulled his body back, and made another false move in the opposite direction.

In the flash of lightning, Ariza knew he had been fooled, so he quickly retracted his defensive actions and jumped to block the ball.

Du Zhe's move just now was naturally a fake move. Seeing that Ariza had already taken off, he made a steady move.

It's just that this time he didn't go for the basket, but aimed at Ariza's arm.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded, indicating that Ariza's thug fouled, and Du Zhe got two free throw opportunities.

At this time, Du Zhe is no longer the rookie who first entered the NBA last season, and the free thrower would tremble non-stop. Now for him, free throws are as natural as eating and drinking.

Standing at the free throw line, he made two free throws steadily.

Director Zhang, who was eager to let Du Zhe pass the ball just now, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "This ball is really Zhang Fei's embroidery - rough and fine. I didn't expect Du Zhe to be so delicate in the paint." footsteps."

Director Zhang was still sighing with emotion here, but Director Yu exclaimed from the other side: "Scola's goal was beautiful!"

It can only be said that the Rockets' counterattack came really quickly. Scola stunned Turiaf with almost the same technique inside, and also scored two points.

Some people are beautiful, and some people suffer.

In the next few rounds, Du Zhe and Scola went back and forth, making Turiaf and Ariza who defended them miserable.

In desperation, the two teams unanimously adopted double-teaming tactics to respond.

Facing a double team, Du Zhe, who knew how much he weighed, didn't dare to overdo it. He chose to trust his teammates and gave the ball away as soon as possible.

Now it's time to compare the touch of outside players.

Fortunately, at the last critical moment, Curry, who was feeling hot in this quarter, stood up again.

Amid Coach Zhang's doubts that "this little guy shouldn't shoot like this", "it's unreasonable to score this ball" and "it should be passed to Du Zhe to play slowly", Curry made four out of four shots and took over the game.

Especially his last three-pointer, which was also the only three-pointer he made in the game, directly killed the opponent.

In the end, the Warriors successfully defeated their opponents with a score of 110:108. While giving the Rockets their first two consecutive losses, they also got a good start in the first game of the season.

In this game, the Warriors' leading scorer was Monta Ellis. Although his abnormal performance in the third quarter allowed the team to give up a 10-point lead, he still scored 26 goals throughout the game. He scored 3 points, 5 rebounds and [-] assists, which was a pretty good performance.

Curry, who made his debut in the NBA game for the first time in his career, struggled in the first three quarters due to his inability to adapt to the rhythm of the game, and only made 6 of 1 shots.

But after adjusting, he successfully staged the return of the king in the fourth quarter, 7 of 7 in a single quarter, and led the team to victory with a flawless personal performance.

And the last lore three-pointer was just the beginning, which made the entire league begin to re-examine this slightly green first-year rookie.

However, although the performances of Ellis and Curry attracted attention, they could not cover up Du Zhe's light.

他全场发挥十分高效，在有限的出场时间里9投5中，外加罚球2罚2中，得到15分3板2助1帽3断。

Compared with "Martial Saint" Jackson, Du Zhe took 7 fewer shots, but his score was only 2 points less. The comparison between the two highlights his dazzling performance.

And this gave San Francisco fans a reassurance.

Since the end of last season, rumors about the transfer of Stephen Jackson have been circulating, which makes many fans worried about the future development of the team.

However, in today's post-match interview, the fans changed their tone.

"Honestly, I've never been worried about Jackson's departure. In my opinion, the young players on the team are ready to accept the challenge."

"It's good for Jackson to stay in San Francisco, but it's okay if he really wants to leave. Young players like Du can take his place."

"It's hard to imagine that Du's contract is only 1 for one year. Instead of keeping Jackson, the team should focus more on discussing a new contract with Du."

The comments made by the fans during interviews were naturally not hidden from the ears of the Warriors management. To be honest, Jackson's trade is basically a foregone conclusion and will not be influenced by the opinions of the fans at all.

However, Du Zhe's excellent performance relieved them a lot of pressure from public opinion, which invisibly made the management feel a little more favorable towards this low-paying, high-powered guy.

Not to mention the Chinese fans forum.

After Dayao was retired, many fans realized that it was not easy for Chinese players to survive in the NBA.

Coupled with the fact that the UAE, which has high expectations, has always performed mediocrely, Sun Dasheng disappeared in the NBA after winning a championship, which further highlights Du Zhe's continuous improvement.

Most Chinese fans already regard Du Zhe as the representative of Chinese players in the NBA after Dayao's retirement.

Although there are still arguments such as "eating dumplings", most fans have unknowingly agreed with Du Zhe's performance.

Even Prime Minister Guda’s exaggerated headline “Explore Adu’s limit behind the high efficiency, what data can you get if you have enough time?”

"Wake up early before the game, of course you perform well. Diligent Du tells you what God rewards hard work" is not so dazzling.

…………

On the road, Du Zhe, who finished tonight's game, was driving back home.

Just as he was driving through the intersection, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind, which frightened him so much that he almost got into a car accident.

He slammed on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road.

"It's reversed, it's reversed, this system is going to eat the master." After stabilizing the car, Du Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and waited for a while before he recovered.

Open the panel to check, it turns out that the system has just released a series of regular tasks for this season.

"Lead the team to 10 consecutive victories - reward 100 system points."

"Lead the team to 15 consecutive victories - reward 150 system points."

"Break the NBA winning streak record (22 consecutive victories) - reward 1 random talent (gold level)"

"Entering the NBA playoffs - 5 chances for reward system lottery draws."

"Win the Division Championship - Reward..."

"Winning an NBA championship - the reward..."

The task given by the system was as long as two pages. Du Zhe looked through it carefully and found that the rewards were indeed generous.

However, given his current strength, it is not easy to obtain rewards.

Even the relatively simple task of leading the team to 10 consecutive victories is quite difficult to achieve with the team's current lineup.

After all, in the world before Du Zhe traveled, the Warriors in the 09-10 season only achieved a record of 26 wins and 56 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference. It is really difficult for them to win 10 consecutive victories.

Du Zhe felt that he couldn't act too hastily, he still had to take it step by step, as long as his strength was in place, most of the tasks here shouldn't be too difficult to complete.

…………

Two days later, on October 10, the entire Warriors team went to Phoenix to challenge the Phoenix Suns.

After the Suns sent away "Shark" O'Neal this season, the team's overall rhythm speed has been raised again. Coupled with "Small Overlord" Stoudemire's return from injury, the entire team can be described as sweeping. The decline of the season.

"Son of the Wind" Nash taught several young guards of the Warriors a good lesson in this game. Not only did he score 18 points on the offensive end, but he also provided 20 assists with his superb passing.

Under his go-betweens, everyone in the Suns' starting five scored in double figures. Except for him, everyone in the starting lineup had a shooting percentage of more than 5%.

其中巴博萨13中9狂砍24分，斯塔德迈尔13中7得到20分，格兰特·希尔13中7得到18分，中锋钱宁·弗莱更是12中8投进6记三分斩获22分。

As expected, the Warriors surrendered in the first half, allowing the game to enter garbage time early.

The weak performance of the main players has little impact on Du Zhe. Now he has no responsibility to carry the team's victory or defeat on his shoulders.
What's more, after coming on the scene in the third quarter, he teamed up with Azubuike to blow the counterattack horn, giving the game a little bit of suspense again.

Even this little bit of suspense quickly dissipated in the face of the absolute power gap.

In the end, 120:108, the Suns won the victory without any suspense.

Du Zhe played 20 minutes in this game, made 11 of 5 shots, scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. He maintained a stable output as always, and further enhanced his weight in the hearts of fans.
