Chapter 33 Terrible hit rate

After the end of the game against the Suns, the Warriors ushered in a few days of rest.

After that, they will face the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies at home.

As a relatively young team in the NBA, the Grizzlies were only officially established in 1995.

At the beginning of the team's establishment, the home court was not in the United States, but in Vancouver, the third largest city in Maple Leaf Country.

Since there are many grizzly bears in the Maple Leaf Country, the team owner decided to name the team after the grizzly bears.

In the following years, as a new NBA team, the Grizzlies' record has been unsatisfactory, and the team's popularity in the local area has also continued to decline.

After weighing the pros and cons, the boss finally submitted an application to the league and moved the team back to Memphis in the United States. Although there is no Grizzlies here, the team's name has not changed.

After settling in Memphis, the Grizzlies also ushered in a fairly glorious time. After the team selected a group of young talents such as Paul Gasol and Sean Battier, they continued to play from 03 to 06. Into the playoffs.

But the good times didn't last long. After the departure of many of the main players, the Grizzlies were beaten back to their original form and became a team that has been ranked last year after year. It can be said that even the Warriors can't match the record in recent years.

On November 11, the Warriors ushered in a challenge from the Grizzlies at Oracle Arena.

At this time, the main stars of the Grizzlies are power forward Zach Randolph and small forward Rudy Gay.

However, compared with the two of them, another player in the Grizzlies lineup has attracted Du Zhe's attention.

That's Allen Iverson.

As one of the representatives of the 96 golden generation, although Iverson is only 1 meters tall, his talent in other areas is beyond doubt.

With lightning speed, explosive jumping, extremely strong physical strength, and outstanding scoring ability, he was able to overwhelm a group of young talents in 96 and become the champion of the year.

At his peak, he even won four scoring titles, and he was the existence of the "OK combination" who could fight against the thriving "OK combination" by himself.

It's a pity that Iverson has reached the end of his career this season. From the Denver Nuggets to the Detroit Pistons, and now to the Memphis Grizzlies, this veteran has very little fuel left in his tank.

And after only three appearances for the Grizzlies at the beginning of the season, the veteran chose to return to his roots, returned to the place where his dream began, and retired with the Philadelphia 76ers.

In this game, facing the same weak Grizzlies, the Warriors played well. Ellis, Jackson, Maggette and Morrow all scored 20+ points.

Teammates feel hot, and Du Zhe's playing time is naturally compressed.

最终杜哲全场出战15分钟,7投4中,拿下10分2断的数据。

After three games, the Warriors achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, and Du Zhe's system points finally accumulated 5 points again.

Opening the system mall, Du Zhe spent 5 system points to buy a permanent attribute improvement card, which further strengthened his open three-point ability.

At present, his open three-point value has reached 97 points, which is very close to the full value of 99 points.

It's still 2 points away, and the open three-pointer can be filled up. Du Zhe decided to practice this skill more in the training these few days, and then focus on the strong three-pointer after training it to the full.

This is because Du Zhe has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The second is because he discovered that a 90-point skill is far more effective in actual combat than two 70-point skills.

It is better to specialize in one than to be exposed to both rain and dew.

But at this time, Du Zhe practiced the open three-pointer again, which was obviously a bit eye-catching.

There's no way, with his current ability value, if he doesn't intentionally miss the shot, he will almost hit a hundred shots during training.

Sure enough, more than half an hour after Du Zhe shot, the attention of several Warriors players was attracted by him.

"Du seems like he hasn't missed a single shot for more than half an hour, right?"

"Impossible, did you miss it?"

Soon, one after another Warriors players stopped the training program at hand, and they all stood aside and watched Du Zhe shoot the ball intently.

I want to see when this Chinese player will miss the first ball.

An hour passed, and Du Zhe still maintained a perfect hit rate.

Although there were many people watching around, it did not affect Du Zhe's shooting state in the slightest. He still hit one ball after another without fluctuation.

Now he has completely entered the state of forgetting things and me. No matter how shouted or amazed by other people, it will not make his mood fluctuate at all, let alone cause him to hesitate at all.

For a three-point shooter, this can be said to be crucial.

Only by getting rid of inner distractions and isolating external interference can we hit the key goal without mercy at the critical moment.

Ten minutes later, Du Zhe's training continued. The trainer responsible for picking up and passing the ball to him was already sweating profusely, but he still didn't miss a single shot.

"You guys! What are you doing here without training?"

Suddenly, the Warriors coach Nelson shouted angrily from behind the crowd.

As soon as he came back from the outside, he saw that his players did not practice honestly, but gathered together to make noise, so he was naturally angry.

Just as Old Nelson was about to lose his temper, Ellis came over and offered to explain.

"Coach, look at Du Zhe, he is really crazy today, he shot three-pointers for an hour and a half, and he didn't even miss a single shot."

"One and a half hours? Haven't missed a single shot?" Old Nelson's tone was a little dubious.

But the other Warriors players present also agreed with Ellis' words, so he couldn't help but believe it.

"So, you're just here watching him shoot three-pointers for over an hour? Hurry up and go back to training!" Old Nelson apparently still hadn't calmed down, and immediately dispersed the crowd.

However, after the other players dispersed, he focused his attention on Du Zhe again.

The opponent didn't seem to be disturbed by his loud reprimand just now, but just shot a three-pointer silently.

There are only two possibilities to do this.

One is that Du Zhe didn't pay attention to all members of the Warriors, including him, and dismissed their actions at all.

Even Old Nelson himself did not believe in this idea.

Although Du Zhe has not joined the team for a long time, his performance on and off the field can be regarded as a model for the team.

Off the court, this young Huaguo player is not only one of the hardest-trained players on the team, but also actively integrates into the team, getting along with all the new and old players.

On the court, Du Zhe has always been willing to bear the burden of hard work. It can be said that he is blocked by others, and he is passed by others.

The impression Du Zhe left on the team has always been that he is low-key and diligent off the court, and desperately selfless on the court.

How could such a player be so arrogant?
From this point of view, only the second possibility can be established.

That is Du Zhe's concentration that is beyond ordinary people.

Looking at Du Zhe who was still shooting, Old Nelson nodded silently.

If you want to become a star in the NBA, you may have talent.

But if you want to become a superstar in the NBA, you must not only have talent, but also have almost abnormal persistence and focus.

Perhaps this young man named Du Zhe can achieve a career in the NBA like Dayao in the future.

No!Maybe he can achieve far more achievements than Dayao!
Old Nelson quietly came to a conclusion in his heart.

Although the other Warriors players were sent to practice by old Nelson, their minds were all on Du Zhe, and they all wanted to see when this Huaguo kid would miss the first ball.

It's a pity that Du Zhe was about to let them down. During the two hours of training, he didn't miss a single shot.

"The experience value is full, and the three-point proficiency of the empty space will be increased by 1"

Seeing the proficiency of open three-pointers on the panel change from 97 to 98, Du Zhe stopped practicing with satisfaction.

This also relieved the tired and sweaty trainer.

…………

Two days later, the Warriors at home faced the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers this season can be described as unfavorable. On the eve of the start of the game, Griffin, the new top pick in the team, suffered a stress fracture in Finn's left knee kneecap, resulting in reimbursement for the season.

At present, the team has only won one victory in the first four games, and this performance is also unsatisfactory.

In this game, the focus of fans is largely on the stars of the two teams, Baron Davis and Corey Maggette.

Among them, Davis was the hero of the Warriors back then, but now he has become the general of the Clippers.

And Maggette played for the Clippers for 8 years and spent the most precious time of his career in Los Angeles, but now he is wandering in San Francisco to make a living.

It's just that facing the old master in the same way, the performance of the two is very different.

Davis once again let the Warriors see the omnipotent beard when they created the black eight miracle.

He scored 13 of 8 in the game, scored 25 points and 7 assists, and taught the slightly immature Curry a good lesson.

Compared with the other side, Maggette seemed a little out of shape. He made 7 of 2 shots and scored only 6 points. He was replaced shortly after he played.

In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors scored a score of 30:19 and fell behind by 11 points in the first quarter.

The helpless old Nelson had no choice but to send Du Zhe and give him a chance to perform, to see if he could create a miracle.

Du Zhe, who came off the bench, took the initiative to choose Eric Gordon, the opponent's first firepower outside.

This made it feel hot in the first quarter. Gordon, who scored 12 points, misfired directly. In the remaining time, he only scored three points, and he was blocked by Du Zhe 4 times because of his shooting posture.

Du Zhe was on the offensive end with full firepower. After imitating the opponent's mid-range shooting skills with the stealer glove, he made 7 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 4 two-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws. 20 points.

In addition, he also scored 2 rebounds, 4 blocks and 5 steals. It can be said that he is carrying the team forward on both offense and defense.

In the end, the Warriors barely won with a score of 110:108.

Although he won the game, Du Zhe was exhausted.

You must know that the Clippers are not a strong team. Their record was almost the bottom of the league last season, and the No. [-] pick was also reimbursed for the season.

But even against a team of this strength, when he exploded, he fought until the last moment to decide the victory.

Alas, it seems that growing up in Curry, the strength of this Warriors team should not be overestimated.
