873: It's Okay, the Hair Is Still There (2/5)

It can be seen that today's Golden State Warriors are very different from last season.

Although the game hasn't started yet, the whole feeling of the Warriors is already different.

Whether it's the high-spirited Stephen. Curry, or Sean, who has experienced ups and downs at a young age. Livingston.

From starters to benches, the Warriors players had confidence on their faces.

A kind of self-confidence as a strong person!

Green walked at the back of the line, and in the distance, the round-headed guy stared at Link and smiled contemptuously.

After confirming that Link was also watching him, Green made a neck wipe gesture at last season's individual honor Grand Slam winner.

Even LeBron. James, probably, would not have provoked Link like this.

In fact, Draymond. Green's insolent personality didn't come out of nowhere, nor did he become inflated after playing as a starter this year.

Back when he wasn't famous, he had the experience of raising the bar with A-list superstars.

In sophomore grade, Green dared to exchange trash talk with the notorious Garnett.

You know, most rookies will try to avoid verbal conflicts with Garnett's broken mouth when facing him.

If you have a poor psychological endurance, you may really be sprayed by Garnett to cry.

But Green was not afraid of this, not only did he not have stage fright, but he also completed a powerful counterattack, so angry that Garnett almost spurted blood with trash talk.

It's just that Green wasn't well-known back then, so the incident wasn't reported much.

But at least it proves that Green has never been a "good boy." It's no surprise that he'd provoke Link.

"That guy is a real annoyance, but you don't have to fight him today." Carter shook his head, unable to comprehend Green's actions.

"I know what I'm supposed to do, Vince. Don't worry, I can't be led by the nose. Hey, concentrate on warming up, we still need you today. Link patted Carter on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

He started warming up with concentration, hoping to find his touch before the bout started.

As time went on, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

ESPN will be their trump card commentator Mike. Brin was transferred to the scene, and he and Hubi. Brown was already chatting before the game began.

"The Grizzlies have won 70 of the regular season games in the past two seasons, and almost no one can match them. But this year, the Grizzlies seem to have a formidable opponent. Whether the Grizzly Dynasty will be overturned, the result of this game can be seen! Welcome to ESPN and the fun begins! ”

Mike. Brin's voice instantly focused the fans, and the ratings for the game soared all the way to the opener of the Grizzlies and Cavaliers at the beginning of the season.

As we all know, the opening game generally has a freshness bonus from the fans, so the ratings are much higher than the average game.

And as the season deepens, as the freshness of the fans disappears, the ratings of NBA games will drop to a certain extent.

With the exception of the Christmas War, it's almost impossible to have a game that can reach the heights of the opener.

But today, the matchup between the Grizzlies and the Warriors did. This shows how much attention is paid to this game.

Before the game began, Speights hugged some of the Grizzlies' players. This short projection center with a peculiar style of play still misses his time in Memphis.

And this is the only moment of warmth before the game between the Grizzlies and the Warriors begins.

With the exception of Speights, everyone else on the Warriors team is very serious. Obviously, they all came for victory.

The fans in the stands can already feel the friction between the two powerful forces, which could cause an explosion at any moment!

First and second in the West, 17-game winning streak and 7-game triple-double, Link and Green, Curry's Monthly Winner, Winner and Loser...... For both sides, there are so many reasons why they can't afford to lose.

Therefore, it is very likely that this game will be played until the last second!

Before the start of the game, while the players on both sides were still warming up, Stephen . A-Smith approached Green, "With the defending champions coming up close, what do you think you need to look out for today?" ”

"There are many, but I think you should throw that question at the Grizzlies. There is no doubt that they need to pay attention to more than we do. Green's attitude was arrogant, as if the Warriors were the defending champions and the Grizzlies were the challengers.

"You're very confident, so in today's game, will you play directly against Link?" Stephen. A. Smith continued to ask about the pre-game interview with Link's big mouth, which is simply too good for stimulating ratings.

"I'm not going to tell you the team's strategy, but I can guarantee that this game will impress Link." After Green finished speaking, he poked his finger at the camera, as if to warn Link.

Spirited Stephen. A. Smith immediately ran in front of Link again, and now the right to speak harshly is in Link's hands.

As a result, Link didn't bother to say much, but shrugged his shoulders with disdain, "I said, Draymond. Green is trash. ”

The two unafraid guys have finally ended their scolding war, and now, they can fight with real guns.

Before the start of the game, Mike. Brin and Hubbie. Brown gave an overview of the starters on both sides.

The Grizzlies' side is still unchanged for 10,000 years, although the team doctor said that Iguodala's comeback is imminent, but today the Grizzlies can only fight in the reckless.

On the Warriors' side, the starting five Tigers are still Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green and Bogut. It was this set of starts that allowed the Warriors to win 16 consecutive games and rank first in the league!

The referee motioned for the center forwards of both sides to step into the center circle, and before the ball was thrown, the referee felt that his body was about to be burned by the gunpowder eyes of both sides.

He hurriedly threw the ball into the air, and this high-profile "Western Conference Finals Preview" finally started!

Gasol got the ball for the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies attacked first.

As soon as the game started, Conley wanted to raid Curry. It's no secret that Curry struggles on the defensive end.

His physical condition is destined for him not to do much on the defensive end.

But Conley had just broken through to the three-point line when he found that the Warriors' defense began to shrink, leaving him less room to break through in an instant.

Sure enough, as Jogel said before the game, the Warriors' defense is as top as their offense!

Seeing this, Conley handed the ball to Tobias. Harris, who was temporarily freed up by Green, got a shot.

But just as Conley passed, Green made up for it.

The Warriors' defense relies on a quick rotation that never stops. Their defensive lineup is actually quite strong, and all four of them are good on the defensive end, except for Curry.

In this way, it is very simple to use the power of the system to smooth out Curry's disadvantage on the defensive end.

Harris received the ball and cut to the basket and prepared to make a layup.

But Draymond. Green, who was quicker than most traditional No. 4s, rushed back to the basket in time and fanned Harris's layup off the line with a big swing.

As soon as he opened, Green showed his bloodthirsty state with a big risk!

After completing the block, Green tensed his muscles and roared to the sky, and his arrogance and ambition were all unleashed in the first round.

"Be careful, he's not easy to deal with!" Link patted Harris on the back, the future All-Star forward is still a little too immature.

Harris shook his head, rather helpless. Obviously, it was a big risk at the beginning, and it was celebrated in front of the other party's bravado, which was a very demoralizing thing.

Not everyone dares to go against a villain like Green.

After Green's celebration, he deliberately glanced at Link, as if to tell him, "If you dare to walk in, this will be your end!" ”

The Grizzlies re-issued the baseline and finally relied on Gasol's strong play in the low post to score.

Link didn't have the ball in his hands and he was still watching the situation. If Link had started with a big game, he wouldn't have been able to play the whole game.

Now for the Warriors offense, Butler and Conley are stuck with their counterparts. If the "Splash Brothers" are allowed to cast, the score difference will soon be widened.

The power of the three-point shot has been proven with the Warriors. The notion that you can't shoot to the death of the game is outdated.

Green and Curry played pick-and-rolls, allowing Curry to easily get a little shooting space.

Curry is one of those epoch-making players who can take a shot and hit a shot even if they only get a gap.

He was indeed epoch-making because his appearance changed the way the league played.

Seeing that Conley was blocked by Green, Harris couldn't make up for it for a while, so Curry decisively chose to shoot!

In November, Curry lost the best of the month despite Link's injury. Although he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that he wasn't unwilling.

Today, Curry also wants to prove that he is fully qualified to win the Player of the Month!

He took a shot calmly, hoping that the Warriors and his counterattack could start with this shot!

But just as Curry took the ball, a huge black shadow fell in front of him, completely obscuring the basket.

Curry's pupils dilated instantly, but there was no turning back from the bow, and the basketball was already crashing into the shadows.

In the next second, Curry only felt a cool breeze blowing above his head!

With a "whoosh", the basketball that had just been thrown flew over Curry's head.

Curry hurriedly touched his head, but fortunately, the hair was still there!

When Curry recovered from his panic, he saw Link shaking his head at him.

"I'm sorry for the best thing of the month, but it's useless to apologize, you have to get used to it. If you can't get the best of the month in the future, this kind of thing will happen often. ”

After Link's words, he looked at Green, who was also dumbfounded. Green was also frightened, he really didn't expect Link to return a big risk to the Warriors so soon.

This guy's sense of revenge is too strong, and the most critical thing is that he really has a strong ability to retaliate against the other party.

Curry's shot is fast and hard to block, and Green knows that. But Link was able to rush from somewhere else and successfully completed the block.

I have to say that his ability is much stronger than others!

Curry swallowed and put away his usual relaxed expression.

Green, that guy, just arrogant.

But Link ......

In Curry's view, Link is the real cold-blooded and ruthless.

The number one villain in the alliance is not for fun.
