Chapter 678 Zach Randolph
A grand award ceremony kept the home fans of the Warriors excited and excited, especially the scene where Bruce and others held up the championship ring, which instantly filled the arena with loud cheers.
The players of the Trail Blazers stared at the court with a little tangled expression. Seeing the excited cheers of everyone in the Warriors, they really felt bad!
"Damn it, why did this happen to us!!"
Zach Randolph already had a fierce face, but after saying this, the expression on his face became even more frightening.
After hearing his words, the other Blazers players nodded subconsciously!
As a team that is changing, they met the Warriors in the first game of the new season. This is simply a game that they will definitely lose!
In the league, no matter which team it is, at the ring award ceremony after winning the championship, it is very rare that there will be a direct defeat!
Just like the current fiery performance of the Warriors at home, presumably even if the All-Star players arrive, they will be shocked by this scene!
After that, as the Warriors gradually ended the awards, a series of preparations before the game began!
"Haha, look at the little guy's appearance now, it seems that he is born to be a guy who is very interested in basketball and the NBA!"
Bruce laughed and watched little Ares playing with the championship ring in his hand with great interest, especially when he saw the little guy watching very seriously, let alone, he was really happy in his heart!
"Hehe, if he can take over your team, I think he must be better than you!!"
West said with a smile on his face, subconsciously stroked the fascinating ring with his left hand, his tone full of expectation.
On the court, as the referee on duty blew the whistle for warm-up before the game, as players from both sides walked towards the court, the fans who had just rested in the stands cheered again!
"Hey, these guys have been waiting for too long, it looks like they can't wait for the game to start!!"
Payton said excitedly to the other people beside him, but as another champion of the Warriors, Malone did not appear in the team roster due to his health, and he only attended in casual clothes. It's just the previous Ring Awards Ceremony!
Originally, after Malone won the championship last season, he always hesitated whether he should leave the stadium where he has played for most of his life!
As the new season approached, after Bruce didn't get the news of whether Malone had really retired, he still put the old Malone in the team's roster!
Now, when Bruce casually saw the trace of regret on Malone's face, he finally had a final guess in his heart!
On the court, after the Warriors got their respective rings, even though they were just warming up now, they still rewarded the fans present with exciting dunks!
After they ended their warm-up like a basketball performance, as the referee on duty blew his whistle again, and after the main players of both sides returned to the court, all the fans in the stands finally excitedly looked forward to it!
Theo Ratliff stared at Duncan standing in front of him with a tangled and awkward expression. In the contact between the two sides last season, he would be blown away by this guy almost every time!
Now, even though he has finally recovered some of the state he had before getting the big contract, he still looks a little timid when facing Duncan!
Seeing Ratliff's appearance, Duncan, who was usually extremely calm, showed a very casual smile!
"Whoa, look what I saw??"
In the commentary booth, Barkley said loudly to Kenny Smith next to him with a look of surprise, since the two of them have gradually become regulars of the Warriors, they have gradually gained a large number of fans who love them in this city!
"Haha, if I were Theo, I would follow Tim carefully. If there is any slack, I think Tim will definitely kick my ass hard!!"
Kenny Smith's iconic teasing tone made the fans sitting around them burst into laughter, and from this we can see how popular the two are!
On the court, after the referee on duty said something to both sides, he threw the basketball into the air!
"Snapped!!"
As the basketball flew to the highest point, Duncan directly gave the basketball point to Billups without any suspense. This is one of Ratliff's depressions!
After Billups got the basketball, he didn't act very aggressive, but brought the ball into the frontcourt very calmly. Judging from his expression and movements, it is obvious that he has played again this offseason. Once there was a very good improvement!
"Tact One!!"
Coming to the front court, Billups yelled directly after his teammates settled down, and then ran to the left with the ball!
Among the Warriors' tactical arrangements, the most outstanding one is undoubtedly the very characteristic "Twin Towers Tactics".
Among them, Duncan and Nowitzki are the most important on the inside. If they can complete some tactical positioning very tacitly, then the Warriors will get a lot of shots from the outside. Of course, once they play a very good cooperation, inside and outside Combined, the Warriors will reach frightening levels in an instant!
Following Billups' running, the rest of the Warriors players seemed to have practiced countless times, and under the defense of the Trail Blazers, they ran quickly!
Zach Randolph is closely following Nowitzki. As a good player, coupled with his own excellent strength, he also has a very good performance on the defensive end!
But Nowitzki's style of play is exactly the opposite of Randolph's. He relies on mid-range and long-range shooting. With the cooperation of him and Duncan, most teams in the league have had them inside and outside. Bitter!
Just like now, even though Nowitzki is taller than Randolph by a lot, his flexible steps directly caused Randolph to appear so distracted, and it was precisely this short period of time. At this opportunity, Billups originally passed the basketball to the inside, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball quickly came to Nowitzki's hands through an arc!
"Shhh!!"
With a soft sound, Nowitzki seemed to have done a very trivial matter. Under Randolph's somewhat depressed gaze, he turned over and ran towards the backcourt!
And as Nowitzki scored the first goal of the Warriors, the fans in the stands, who were almost suffocated, cheered at their loudest, sending blessings and encouragement to the Warriors' first goal of the new season !
"Damon, I need the ball!!"
When "Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudemire received a pass from Randolph, he heard the guy's rough voice directly!
"Okay, buddy!"
Even though the fact that he was once a star player made Stoudemire feel a little depressed, but with Randolph's growth and his own gradual decline, he has indeed lost his place in this team , Even though he is still holding a high-value contract, his condition is declining rapidly, and he is only one of the players of the Trail Blazers retirement!
Coming to the frontcourt, Randolph went straight to the inside, and Ratliff, who knew him very well, gradually made room for him in his unhurried movements!
After seeing Ratliff's actions, Randolph, who was not a kind person at all, sneered and gave the white center a thumbs up!
"Haha, it looks like Zach is going to pay Dirk back!"
After Barkley saw the Blazers' tactical running and the unique inside line of Randolph and Nowitzki, he couldn't help laughing and looking forward to it!
In today's league, there are not many players who can enter Barkley's eyes, and Chacha Randolph is one of them!
As the top villain in the league, Barkley admired Randolph's toughness and way of playing!
Not to mention, apart from the differences in appearance and height between the two, the skills of the two of them are basically the same. Of course, the current Randolph, including Randolph in the previous life, still lacks some long-range shooting offensive ability!
"Bang bang bang!!"
A muffled sound sounded from the inside. After Randolph quickly got stuck, Stoudemire passed the basketball very quickly!
And under the collision between him and Nowitzki, all the fans in the stands turned their attention to them, and everyone was silent with a hint of expectation!
"Soft, you should defend like this!!"
After Randolph felt the weak resistance behind him, he twitched the corner of his mouth, uttered a trash talk, his shoulders shook quickly, and after Nowitzki subconsciously shifted his focus, he directly crushed , pushed hard, and then hit the ball with a hook!
"Hey! Did you see that?? This is Uncle Zack's ability!!"
Randolph's domineering way of speaking directly caused a trace of anger to appear on Nowitzki's face!
"Wow, Dirk looks pissed off by this guy!!"
Just like what Barkley said, when it was the Warriors' turn to attack, I don't know if the teammates intended to do it. After Billups came to the frontcourt, he passed the basketball in his hand!
"Hey Mr. Softass, why don't we try to compete in the low post??"
Randolph bowed slightly, rubbing his hands vigorously and provocatively.
As one of the pivotal points of this attack, Nowitzki obviously doesn't want to confront this guy for the time being. He feinted for a while, and after motivating Randolph, he directly used the action of a guard to attack. The inside line rushed over!
"Soft egg!!"
With the mentality of the young Randolph now, his performance on the defensive end has been criticized by others, and now he is also in line with the evaluation of those commentators!
I saw that now that he has a good weight, he seemed to disdain defense during Nowitzki's breakthrough. After Nowitzki crossed in one step, he just stared at his eyes angrily, without thinking Willingness to pursue quickly!
As the inside gate of the Blazers, Ratliff is not like Randolph, he can get a good contract by relying on defense!
Afterwards, after Dirk Nowitzki took two big strides into the penalty area, under Ratliff's very active defense, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he casually threw the basketball to the basket!
"boom!!"
A loud bang directly detonated the entire arena, and all the fans cheered excitedly, everyone seemed so excited!
