The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 329 Easy Start
The Warriors gave the bench a lot of opportunities to perform. Their system was like a fish in water in the preseason, and they easily got rid of the Raptors.

However, the final moments are all preseason games where substitutes fight, and the Warriors' record is only three wins and four losses.

Zhang Xiaotian's score has been hovering around 10 points, and many people can't wait to start hacking, but in the last game, he scored 25 points in 25 minutes, which made many people shut up.

It's not that he tried his best in the end, thank the Lakers for not defending, which allowed him to hit a few more three-pointers.

To be honest, after adapting to the game rhythm of some teams, I feel that the game is much easier. In contrast, when the team is playing iron, it is also very depressing.

Because of the fast transition between offense and defense, the ball is not shot at the most certain point very soon, and there is a feeling of being unable to exert strength.

"How do you feel? Some fans in the group said that the team won't let you play singles."

"It's nothing, it's just the preseason. It's still good here. There are many Chinese fans."

After Zhang Xiaotian returned from training, he video-chatted with his wife as usual.

Although it was a short-term contract, it was also a big contract, so Zhang Xiaotian bought a house instead of renting it this time. Even if he doesn't live here in the future, it can still be counted as an investment.

After the preseason, Zhang Xiaotian accepted an exclusive interview with Xu Yi as usual.

With this, Xu Yi can make a good program, and Zhang Xiaotian can also take the opportunity to promote more fans and win-win things.

"Where is my value, fans all over the world should know, so there is really nothing to say in the preseason."

"Their goal was a championship, so they found me."

"Why didn't I sign a long-term contract? Maybe it's because I haven't won enough championships. I will continue to work hard."

"The West is more difficult? There is no such saying. I won my first championship in the West. The team is not far from the championship. There is only one player like me."

Zhang Xiaotian's interviews are always very bold, and now he also has the qualifications, three championships, he can be blackmailed, but every time he has a key performance.

Besides, as his salary is getting higher and higher, and his tactical position is becoming more and more critical, it is hard to say who is the thigh.

Next time, he should be completely settled down.

Even if the favorite team is not willing to cooperate with him, it will be time.

However, this season, he won't think much about continuing to win the championship.

On October 10, the first regular season game of the Warriors started at the Oakland Arena, against the Pelicans.

The Pelicans have not changed much this summer. They entered the playoffs last season.

The main change for the Warriors is Zhang Xiaotian. After changing to Zhang Xiaotian at the third position, the team can be said to have no shortcomings.

Since Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans were unable to play, Curry started scoring directly.

I can't stop it at all, with 24 points in the first quarter, others feel that they only need to shout 666 next to them.

Unlike James, Curry is not that comprehensive, but his explosive scoring ability is undoubtedly more terrifying.

Zhang Xiaotian followed and easily made two open three-pointers.

In fact, the Pelicans' offense is also good. They started with three guards, and soon they played in a small lineup like the Warriors, attacking and attacking.

Curry's defense can't be said to be bad, but his physical fitness is not that exaggerated, and he doesn't care too much about defense after the offense goes well, so he often explodes with others.

It is a bit similar to Irving but different, and it can be regarded as a strong offensive and defensive type.

The best thing the Warriors have done here is to limit Anthony Davis. Draymond Green is really useful on the defensive end. Although he also paid the price of three fouls in the first half, this can seal For Davis, the team playing against the Pelicans will be willing.

In the Warriors' system, Zhang Xiaotian has little room to play to be honest, but his shooting is obviously more stable than Barnes.

This made Barnes feel a sense of crisis. After he came on, he played a few times in a row, wanting to prove that he was no worse than Zhang Xiaotian.

To be honest, Barnes' talent is very good, but his heart is not big enough, and the Warriors are also a little regretful. The Splash Brothers and Green are growing too fast, and Barnes can't keep up, otherwise the team will be willing to train him.

In fact, the Pelicans do not have a useful third position. Zhang Xiaotian has a chance to show off his power, but the Warriors are too powerful to show his power.

In the third quarter, Curry went crazy again, directly turning the fourth quarter into garbage time.

Zhang Xiaotian only played 30 minutes in his first appearance in the Warriors and scored 13 points. Compared with Curry who scored 40 points casually, others are nothing but clouds.

After the game, Zhang Xiaotian had a bad feeling that his statistics might drop this season.

However, the team promised that it would arrange some tactics for him. For example, when the team is struggling, is he thinking whether the team is playing smoothly or not.

The running-in issue, this game didn't come up, now he's playing pitcher now.

In the Warriors' system, when the Splash Brothers are in good condition, it is too easy for other players to blend in.

Zhang Xiaotian is now good at mid-range and three-pointers, a bit like an enhanced version of Barnes.

However, the outside world still doubts whether the money spent by the Warriors in the summer is worth it. This is normal. This circle will always be accompanied by various doubts.

At least the Cavaliers who were killed by the Bulls were blamed more than the Warriors who won their first victory.

Compared with the Pelicans, who are not well-staffed, the Rockets, the Warriors' opponent in the second game, can be regarded as a team that can be tested.

The Rockets' exchange for Ty Lawson in the summer is also a controversial operation, but they obviously expect to go further this season.

The Rockets started off well from the inside, but then they fell into a scoring drought.

Curry is still very accurate on the Warriors side. Other points, including Zhang Xiaotian, played normally, but the Rockets kept hitting the iron. If the substitute players did not play well, the first half of the game would be wasted.

Even if the substitute showed off, the Rockets fell behind by double digits in the first half.

At the beginning of the season, most teams need to integrate. The main framework of the Warriors has not changed, but they will have an advantage.

In the third quarter, most of them took the lead again, but this time the Warriors gave Zhang Xiaotian a chance to perform in the fourth quarter.

It's just that the team led too much and the opponent didn't want to defend. Zhang Xiaotian helped the team extend the lead to 3 points in 20 minutes.

This test also became meaningless, and coach Cole replaced him again.

He scored 16 points this time, but the fans still didn't see more.
