You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 639 I Don't Want To Die

Getting ejected in the preseason might be difficult for others, but it was easy for Cousins.

Since his rookie season, as long as the referee's whistling is not to his liking, he must do something to prove that it is not his fault, but that the referee has a problem with his mind.

No one can figure out his brain circuit, because most people will only admit cowardice or show weakness when they are targeted by the referee, so that the referee will think that you are on the right track, and the suffering will naturally come to an end.He is not.He wants hard steel.

This guy seems to have been born with a hard bone that would rather be broken than broken.

Or, it's a cheap bone that doesn't feel happy if it's not targeted more vigorously.

The 76ers are destined not to feel at ease. As long as Cousins ​​is still singing against the referee, they will continue to be on tenterhooks.

In several preseason games, they scored 4 wins and 2 losses.

The preseason record is not important, no one cares about winning or losing in this kind of warm-up match and teaching match.However, the strength of generally strong teams is shown in this kind of game.

Like the Heat, Thunder, and Spurs, they all achieved pass kills.

Then, in the opening game of the new season, the opponent arranged by the league for the 76ers is the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors, like the 76ers, belong to the potential army with a promising future.

In 2009 and 2010, they successively selected two guards who could be the core of the future.

Stephen Curry in 2009 and John Wall in 2010.

Interestingly, they're both linked to two-time MVP Steve Nash.

Curry is known as the more aggressive Nash, and Wall is known as the version of Nash who has no shooting ability and can dunk with one hand at will.

The rise of the two of them allowed the Warriors to send away star guard Monta Ellis.

Next, they rebuilt around the double backcourt as the core, followed the style of the Suns and went straight. Last year, they chose Klay Thompson, a quiet shooter.

Even with Thompson, who has a barefoot of two meters, to fill Curry and Wall who are 191+193 cm, it is not enough.Moreover, Thompson is only a normal-level shooter and cannot be called 3D. Although his performance on the defensive end is not bad, it is still a lot worse to expect him to fill the holes for the two big shots.

Therefore, they skipped their favorite North Carolina Blackhawk Harrison Barnes, and chose UConn insider Andre Drummond, who unexpectedly fell to the seventh overall pick and no one cares about him.

In the 2012 draft, there was Anthony Davis, the stable No. [-] pick. Drummond should not fall out of the top three in terms of size and athletic ability.

But the scouts' doubts about him made the teams retreat.

Drummond, whose pick was not as expected, shed tears in the draft, but he still came to the most suitable team for him.

The boss of the Warriors, Curry and Wall are both pie masters who are willing to share the ball.

In this way, four of the Warriors' five starters this season turned out to be the lottery picks they selected in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and, for now, these four are all playing well, and there is no tendency to lose water.

Another starter is David Lee.

Lee quietly averaged 20.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game last season, shooting 50% from the field.He's like a mini Kevin Love.

2009-10赛季他场均20分12篮板4助攻命中率55%时，全世界都可以振振有词“这小子在德安东尼的体系里占了大便宜，数据应该去掉30%再看”。

But now, he can still hit 20+10, and the efficiency is not bad.Sure, he's still not as intimidating on the defensive end as the goatee he occasionally grows on his chin, but he's a 20-10 nightly big man who can basically do what the paint demands -- not counting his hard work averaging 37 minutes over the past three seasons.

In terms of lineup, the Warriors are younger and more talented.

The 76ers are more reasonable.

The 76ers' starters are Holiday, Wecha, Hayward, Hollins and Cousins.

In addition, Faried, who played well in the preseason, has also become Collins' favorite player.

Both sides are talented and have a promising future.

Every time he sees Curry, Wei Xia can understand why domestic fans call him a primary school student.

He is 25 years old and still looks like a child.

If he hadn't deliberately grown a beard to show his maturity, some people would believe that he was 18 based on his appearance.

He walked to the middle circle with Wall, and Cousins ​​​​was next to Wei Xia.

"Boge, we meet again." Wall said with a smile.

Cousins ​​and him came to a high-five and chest etiquette to meet Kentucky alumni, "Don't come to the inside, I will block you, you know!"

"I have nowhere to go but inside." Wall said modestly.

As for Curry, his communication with Wei Xia started with eye contact, started with a handshake, and ended with a sentence: "Good luck."

"Good luck" is what Curry said.

He said that Wei Xia didn't know what to answer, a junior who entered the league four years later than him, wanted to compete with him, and then wished him good luck?
Should we be happy, or should we be sad?
Although Cousins ​​is a true center, he is not a jumper for the 76ers.

Cousins ​​doesn't like to jump the ball, and he can't jump the ball. His absolute bounce speed is not fast.

Hollins is the better jumper.

His opponent is Drummond.

As a rookie, the first NBA game in his life, Drummond paid great attention to every detail.

He didn't even think about playing the jump ball with Hollins for a second.

Various scouts said he was fragile, not an All-Star personality, not focused enough, and he wanted to prove it wrong from the first NBA game.

According to the tactical arrangement, Drummond stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

The Warriors' new coach, Mark Jackson, needs an inside arc support to share Curry and Wall's possession of the ball.

Known for controlling the field in his player days, Jackson, who has won the assists title, knows best the consequences of excessive concentration of the ball.

It is difficult to match up against the Warriors for the 76ers.

They have two very dangerous defenders.

Curry was preparing for the transition to a point guard when he was in Davidson, but he didn't expect the Warriors to pick another No. [-] guard.Therefore, he played more at the second position in the Warriors to take into account Wall, who is not good at shooting and needs space.

Curry has a great shooting talent and a great personality that matches it. He didn't have any dissatisfaction with taking the second position because he needed to accommodate Wall. On the contrary, he became the most unique existence of this era.

He said "good luck" to Wei Xia before the game because they must face each other.

Wei Xia has a deep understanding of his projection threat, and he will fight it if he wants to come up.

The Oracle Center does not give him face.

The referee gave the whistle and Wei Xia received his first foul.

"I just caressed him." Wei Xia protested to the referee.

It was a female referee who blew the whistle. She asked mockingly, "Will you caress your wife like this?"

Unexpectedly, the majestic referee would openly disclose GHS, but Wei Xia's thinking was slipping on a banana peel to a point of nowhere, "You mean to say that Stephen is my wife?"

"You really underestimated my taste. Even though I like men, I don't like this skinny one." Wei Xia hoped to let the female referee know how disturbing her words were.

The Warriors are about to throw a throw-in.

"Oh, then which one do you like?" The female referee's rotten air was overflowing, "Which one is Kobe's?"

"Bah, what does this have to do with Kobe?" Wei Xia was asked with goosebumps all over his body, "I don't even want to die!"

Wei Xia tried his best to prevent Curry from running without the ball. Even if he defended, for the Warriors, it was just another personal pass.

Wall, who was in charge of the pass, saw Drummond's screen, and he knew where there would be opportunities.

His ball is headed for that position.

Hayward, who was facing Thompson, rushed forward with strong confidence
Thompson shouldn't have anything to do with him, but last year, many people said Thompson was him and JJ Redick combined.

He didn't want to have a half-dime relationship with Redick, and he didn't want to hear someone say who he was combined with who.

That would give people a misunderstanding that he and Redick are messed up, and it will make people think that he is weaker than Thompson.

So against the Warriors, Hayward's offense may not perform well because of his touch, but his defense will not be sloppy for a moment.

"Snapped!"

"Beautiful steal! Gordon Hayward's awareness is so good!"

"Good job!" Hayward would have been even more excited if Cousins ​​hadn't yelled his nickname, "Shit, you are awesome!"

Young teams love to play fast breaks and transitions.

Because this is the easiest way to score offense.

Holiday picked up the pass that was destroyed by Hayward and launched a counterattack. The Warriors' elders were all in the frontcourt. No matter how fast Curry and Wall were, they could not affect their counterattack.

Holiday made a layup, the ball bounced a few times, and Cousins ​​took a rebound for it.

2 is better than 0
Then there is the old problem.

How fast is the speed of the fast down, and how slow is the speed of returning to the defense.

Wall made a long-distance serve directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Drummond dunked with one hand.
