The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 581 581 Demon God?no more! ! !

After returning to New York, the fans of the Nets were excited, and finally they could see their home team rise in the official game!

But one, two, three...

Zhou Si didn't play in the next five games, but wore a white suit and chatted with Ye Qin behind him.

There was not much time for the preseason, and the coaching staff still needed to inspect the players and practice tactics. If Zhou Si played, the others would be covered up too easily, so Zhou Si was forced to take a vacation.

The fans of the Nets were still very nervous at first, and they didn't feel relieved until they saw in the team announcement that Zhou Si was not injured and did not play because of the team's tactical arrangement.

If Zhou Si is always limited to injuries like the Spurs' Kawhi, then their fans who have been looking forward to the whole summer will be depressed to death.

As for blaming Zhou Si?
Nets fans who think this way have been beaten to shut up by other Nets fans.

Trying every means to love Zhou Si is not enough, how dare you blame him?

……

回到纽约后，篮网取得了2胜3负的战绩，算上中国赛的1胜1负，他们的季前赛战绩定格在了3胜4负。

On the Internet, articles pessimistic about the Nets began to skyrocket, and ESPN's Wobb Yaolian even released an article specifically for analysis.

"Uh...Beforehand, Nets fans and fans of Zhou, please don't read this article, because the content in it may cause you discomfort."

"In the preseason that just ended, the Nets had three wins and four losses, which is an ugly record.

In these preseason games, although the Nets have some bright spots, they are more of a problem, or even a weakness. "

"The starting point guard averaged 7.2 field goals on 2.5 attempts per game and averaged 34 points per game on 9.2 percent shooting.

The starting position averaged 6.1 shots and hit 2.2 goals per game, averaging 34 points per game with an average shooting rate of 7.1%. "

"This is the starting lineup that the Nets spent nearly 3500 to build!"

"For such a performance, CJ McCollum and Iguodala obviously can't satisfy the fans."

"By the way, Howard played very well in the first two games in China, but when he met a big center who can protect the frame, he also fell into a struggle. Before, everyone thought he could turn over a new leaf, but his ugly low post Singles is back..."

"Of course, the most important thing to mention is Zhou.

Although he scored very efficiently in the first two games, he was just scoring.

Moreover, in the next five games, he did not fight side by side with his teammates and encourage them, but stood on the sidelines.

In the new season, Zhou Si, who lacks strong teammates to open up space, is bound to face even crazier defenses from his opponents, and he will definitely lose himself!

The league's No.1 crown in the new season week is likely to be returned to LeBron!
Devil?no more! ! ! "

……

On the 16th, after two days off, the Nets flew to Cleveland together on a luxury charter plane.

That's right, the opponent Xiao Hua arranged for Zhou Si in the opening game was the five giant knights!
On the Nets side, the fans scolded Xiao Hua on the Internet!
It's okay for a team that hasn't run in well to play against the Big Five Cavaliers, so what's the meaning of an away game.

They waited for Zhou Si's home game and waited for the flowers to thank!

On the 17th, the morning of the opening game, the Blazers ushered in a training session.

After the preseason, the Nets completed the final signing, three-point shooter Steve Novak and defensive point guard Ronnie Price.

After the two signings, the team's 15-man roster was finally released.

Point guard: Zhou Si, Dinwiddie, Norris Cole, Price
Shooting guard: CJ McCollum, Carter

Small forwards: Iguodala, Bojan, Kuzma
Power forwards: David Lee, David West, Novak
Center: Howard, Varejao, Bogut
That's right, Zhou Si's main position has changed back to point guard this season.

Of course, this is not because he plays point guard so that he can use his body to bully people, but because their front line is very rich this season.

In addition, Billups, the assistant coach who is in charge of the offense through training, found that although McCollum can also cope, there is still a big gap between Zhou Si's ability to cope.

That's why Zhou Si made the decision to play point guard.

Zhou Si didn't care about this decision, and McCollum also agreed.

Compared with playing point guard, he still prefers to play shooting guard as a combo guard.

……

During training in a closed arena, on the field, Zhou Si came to the midfield with the ball.

I saw that David Lee who was serving the ball hadn't passed halftime, and Zhou Si, who was double-teamed by Iguodala and Kuzma just after halftime, made a super long three-pointer...

Take off, straight arm, wrist shake.

The double-teaming of Iguodala and Kuzma didn't seem to have any impact on Zhou Si, and Zhou Si's shooting posture was still so standard.

but……

"boom--!"

The basketball hits the frame!

Howard grabs the rebound, then spins and rushes to midfield to join Iguodala and Kuzma yelling at Zhous.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Everyone else giggled too.

They all know too well how upset Iguodala and Kuzma are about Zhou Si hitting three ultra-long three-pointers against the double-teaming of the two of them!

By the way, there is also Howard who is waiting for the rebound under the basket.

On the sidelines, Xiao Pan, the "little boss" who skipped work and followed the team, said to Coach Campbell:
"If I hadn't seen Zhou shoot so many unimaginable ultra-long three-pointers against all kinds of defenses in various ways, maybe I would really believe in the analysis of Wobb Yaolian..."

"However, his article is not all wrong. At least the state of McCollum and Iguodala is indeed worrying, and Howard's dominance at the basket has indeed dropped a lot compared to his peak."

Coach Campbell spread his hands and said, "But it's not as bad as the article said.

As long as they are matched with Zhou Si, it is not a 1+1=2 effect. "

After finishing speaking, Coach Campbell himself smiled first,
"Actually, I would like my opponents to believe the conclusion of Wobb Yaolian's analysis. Anyway, we will not be the ones who get kicked in the ass."

At this moment, on the court, this time Zhou Si didn't do it himself after dribbling the ball at halftime, but attracted the double-team and directly gave it to McCollum who was open.

"Shh-!"

McCollum was not relentless, and directly passed the net with a three-pointer!

Iguodala and Kuzma yelled at Zhou Si "angrily",

"Why don't you vote yourself?"

Zhou Si spread his hands and shrugged.

"Because my passing vision is relatively wide!"

The other teammates laughed again.

Xiao Pan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, also muttered.

"You still deserve a beating!"

Now Iguodala and Kuzma quit, yelling at the others,
"Why don't you come and try."

Others waved their hands again and again:
"We're not small forwards."

Bo Yang pointed to his unrecovered right arm to indicate that he was still injured.

Everyone on the field burst into laughter again.

At this time, Xiao Pan on the sidelines said to Coach Campbell,
"With such a terrifying range and support ability, I am really looking forward to tonight's opening game!"
