October 6th, Oracle Arena.
The first preseason game of the 2016-17 season for the Los Angeles Clippers would be an away game against last year's Western Conference champion, the Golden State Warriors.
As the Golden State Warriors, who had emerged as a new force in the past two years and snatched a championship from LeBlanc, their popularity could be said to be rising steadily. The home seats were naturally full, and the cheers were extremely loud.
However, the away team, the Laker, did not give in. As one of the top basketball markets in the NBA, the Warriors could not catch up with the fans of the Laker. Even at the home court of the Warriors, the fans of the Laker wearing purple and gold jerseys occupied a large number of seats.
Most of them were still wearing Kobe's number 24, holding signs cheering for the Los Angeles team, as well as some funny pictures.
Kobe Bryant, the star player of the Los Angeles Clippers, had just retired, but there were already people who were rushing for his popularity throne.
That person was-
Nick Yang!
A black man with curly hair and shaved hair on both sides jumped out of the venue, and the atmosphere became lively.
As a famous neurosurgeon in the NBA, Nick Young always surprised the fans when he had a good feeling. Coupled with his quick and happy personality, he had countless fans.
The commentator introduced the players of the Laker team one by one. Although the lineup of this season was very different from that of the first-tier teams, the fans were still very enthusiastic.
Lasalle appeared.
Ingram appeared.
Clarkson appeared.
The finale was-Remnant Fire!
The order in which the players played was also set. The bigger the player, the later they would play.
All the viewers watching the game started discussing. Some viewers who didn't watch the Summer League were already posting questions or mocking the rookie for not knowing what was good for him.
Logically speaking, this position should belong to Clarkson, the strongest player in the season. Even if the embers were to shine in the summer league, it would not be his turn.
In fact, in the past three days, Yu Huo had already " trained " everyone in the internal training match, which was to beat everyone into submission.
The ability points had been transferred to his account. All of Kobe's abilities had been packed into Yu Huo's brain. After months of training and activation, he should have at least 80% of them activated.
It was more than enough to use 80% of Kobe's strength to wash away this batch of players whose highest score was less than 80 points.
Soon, the entire team unanimously recognized Yu Huo as the boss of the new season. Head coach Warton also discussed with the coaching staff and designed many individual tactics for Yu Huo.
Compared to conquering the two second-place players in the summer league, this group of long-time NBA players clearly understood the gap between themselves and the geniuses. It was easy to accept the fact that the rookies were better than him. It had nothing to do with the order or age. It was all about strength.
" Today's starting lineup is Russell, Yu Huo, Ingram, Randall, and Mozkov." Warton and the commentator read out the names of the starting lineup at the same time. The entire group of Laker players echoed, full of energy." The opponent is the creator of the 73-win legend. Give them a surprise!"”
"Oh!"
If the 2016 season of the Laker team in the memory of the remnant fire was a rotten team that was lifeless and lazy, the current Laker team was undoubtedly a team that was full of ambition and hard work.
All of this was because of Yu Huo. The strength he had displayed after his return had filled everyone with confidence.
The Clippers set sail!
The Warriors 'starting five players were Curry, Thompson, Durant, Kevin Rooney, Feet Pachulia, and Big Mouth Green. Durant, who had joined the Warriors this year, started with Curry, the MVP of 73 wins, and Thompson, who had single-handedly defeated the Thunder in the Western Conference's G6.
As soon as they got on the court, the players of the Los Angeles Clippers erupted with a strong fighting spirit.
Mozkov's jump ball was successful, and the Clippers got the right to attack first. The ball was directed into the hands of the remaining fire.
The first ball was going to be played by the boss, so the actions of the Los Angeles team naturally attracted the attention of the commentator.
"Oh ~~ The Laker actually gave the first ball to the Chinese kid. You know, this move is enough to show his status in the team..."
Yu Huo was facing Klay Thompson, one of the top 3D players in the league. His lower limbs were very strong. When he was single-handedly defended by " Jiao Zuo Le Bulang " Li Gen during the Olympics, he did not take a step back. Although the gap between the NBA and the CBA was huge, it was enough to show Thompson's physical fitness.
Yu Huo steadily dribbled the ball and suddenly changed his crotch direction to the left of Thompson.
Thompson followed the defense closely and did not lose his position at all.
Yu Huo dribbled the ball under Thompson's crotch again and twisted his body to break through.
However, this action was only the beginning. Just as the ball touched his right hand, Yu Huo's hand moved back slightly, and a smooth dribble from behind changed direction again!
Thompson staggered and lost his defensive position.
Yu Huo nimbly took another step forward, pulled up a jump shot, and accurately scored two points.
"Nice shot!"
The Laker fans waved the signs in their hands and shouted Yu Huo's name.
However, the cheers of the audience did not stop. The Warriors had already quickly rushed to the half of the court of the Los Angeles team. Stephen Curry's fingertip basketball jumped quickly. After taking a step through the pick-and-roll, a three-pointer shot!
Stephen Curry was a hot figure in the past two years. He was the MVP twice, led the Golden State Warriors to the finals twice, and won the O'Brien Cup once. Although he only won one runner-up in his record-breaking 73 wins last year, it did not affect his future achievements.
Believing in three-pointers, shooting fast and having a high field goal percentage, Stephen Curry had created his own legend in the past two years, pointing to the best shooter in history.
However…
"Pa!"
The " extremely fast shot " three-pointer that had just been blown away was blocked by an even faster hand!
Remnant Fire! When did he get to the top of the arc?! Thompson was in the bottom corner, so the embers should be there as well.
However, although Curry was confused, the audience was not. They could clearly see that the moment Curry went around to cover, it was as if he was stepping on a rocket and suddenly went from the bottom corner to the top of the three-point arc!
His daily training during the holidays was effective. His speed broke through to 90 under normal conditions.
Kobe's 100m sprint score was 11.4 meters. It was not outstanding, but it still reached 89 points.
As strong as Le Bulang was, his peak speed was 93, and his 100m sprint time was 10.4 seconds. He was almost one second faster than Kobe!
This was why Lebrang's last shot in the finals last year was so shocking. Now, the aftermath of the match had reappeared on Curry, and it was at the beginning of the game.
A solid block sent Curry's basketball flying!
Ingram quickly rushed out to grab the offensive rebound. His long arms and long legs stretched out, flying into the Warriors 'basket and making a layup.
The opening score was 4:0!
