"There are fewer and fewer people!"
The match officially began. When both sides jumped in the middle circle, Mickey John suddenly sighed.
He looked at the sparse audience seats around the venue with a rather gloomy expression.
"What's wrong? Was it a lot last year?"
Liang Wenhao also glanced at the audience. He realized that even though it was the team's first game of the new season, only 30% of the fans came at home. It was a far cry from the home atmosphere of the Warriors during Curry's peak.
It could even be said that there was a huge difference.
The top Warriors were always full houses. The team's market value even reached its peak after the new stadium was completed and ready to be used. It was close to the third place of the basketball holy land, the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Clippers.
In 2021, it could even rank second, the highest in history.
With this alone, who dared to say that the San Francisco Bay Area was still a small city?
Even though they had won three championships in five years and were at the peak of history, it was enough to prove the potential of the Golden State Warriors.
"A little more last year, just a little more.”
Mickey John smiled bitterly.
As a player who had been in the league for many years and had been with the Warriors for two years, he had naturally experienced the Warriors 'fall from their peak after winning the championship in the 74/75 season.
The year he won the championship, he was still with the Chicago Bulls. The NBA had yet to merge with the NBA, and the Warriors back then were still considered a strong team.
From the beginning of the team's establishment to the selection of Zhang 20,000, and then moving from Philadelphia to Oakland, the Warriors had actually been here for more than 20 years. They had a foundation and foundation.
But now…
It was one thing for the attendance rate to be low in the preseason, but he did not expect it to be low in the first game of the regular season…
Liang Wenhao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the unfilled first row of seats.
As expected, not entering the playoffs for six or seven years in a row was still too hurtful.
Moreover, what made the fans even more hurt was that in the summer, not only did the management fail to retain the team's star center forward, but they also sent away the only core outside. There were only a bunch of rookies in the new season.
Everyone knew that the team was going to be ruined in the new season.
What was there to see in a game with a lousy team?
"Then let's try our best to pull those fans back.”After Liang Wenhao sighed, he suddenly found motivation and said with a smile.
"Can I?"
Mickey John wasn't very confident.
If the fans wanted to come back, the team's results naturally had to be good, or even return to the top. Otherwise, it would be difficult.
No fan was willing to put their feelings on a team that had been rotten.
That kind of true feelings would hurt.
"Yes!"
Liang Wenhao replied confidently,"We definitely can!"”
Seeing his serious expression, Mickey John didn't want to pour cold water on him. He only nodded lightly and said,""Then let's do our best!"
"Pa!"
The referee kicked off. The Suns and Warriors, both over 210cm, quickly jumped.
Kevin Willis was worthy of being one of the representatives of the diamond generation of the '84. His sense of catching the ball was extraordinary, and he was the first to hit the ball.
His teammate, Lester Connor, had been waiting in the backfield for a long time.
After receiving the basketball, Connor passed the ball to the front court, and the game officially began.
When he crossed the center line and passed the ball to Liang Wenhao, the Suns 'head coach, John McLeod, was stunned.
He actually let a forward player organize it?
Could it be that Mr. Five Minutes has some organizational talent that I don't know about?
He could not help but look at the Warriors 'head coach, John Bach, on the other side.
Everyone's called John. What the hell are you doing?
John McLeod, who had coached the Suns for fourteen years, was the most successful head coach in the team's history.
In his 14-year coaching career with the Suns, he led the team to 579 wins and 543 losses. He led the team to the finals twice. Although he never won the championship, the latecomers did not reach his achievements.
However, he soon realized why Liang Wenhao was the one organizing it.
The Warriors 'first attack easily tore through their defense because of Liang Wenhao's pass.
When Liang Wenhao reached the top arc with the ball, he was covered by Connor. Somehow, he saw Trent Tucker slip into the basket and accurately sent the ball through the gap between the players.
"Swoosh!"
Tucker only needed to take a step forward and make a layup.
The entire process was extremely easy.
This vision…
It was very spacious!
John McLeod was shocked!
He was even more surprised by Liang Wenhao's bold choice to pass the ball through the gap between the two defenders. This pass pierced through their defense.
On the other side, Bach smiled.
He stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed and was quite satisfied with Liang Wenhao's pass.
This made him think of their internal training. The passing ability and organization skills displayed by the opponent were extraordinary. Even he was shocked, as if he had discovered another magician, John Xun.
Even though Liang Wenhao's organizational skills were still very inexperienced and couldn't be compared to Magician's, they were already beginning to take shape.
This was especially true for this bird. It could use some unexpected but precise passes that were as accurate as scalpels. It could deliver cannonballs to teammates in various positions. Its vision and passing ability were amazing.
This ability was even better than most point guards.
What was amazing was his grasp of the timing of the pass, his sensitivity to the movement of his teammates, and his sense of smell.
He had truly grasped the fleeting opportunity to send out a knowing attack.
For example, his second pass.
Kevin Willis grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to him to organize when the Suns failed to play inside the paint. However, he threw the ball out again as if it was hot.
However, you would soon discover that this hot pass had turned into a miracle. It directly sent the ball to his teammate, Trent Tucker, who had excellent running positions in front.
The latter received an assist that was fed to his mouth for the second time and made a quick layup.
The entire process, from the rebound to the completion of the offense, took less than three seconds. The Suns 'defenders had no time to react.
Liang Wenhao's vision and ability to pass the ball were evident.
Coupled with Trent Tucker's sensitivity to space, the two of them could often complete some dazzling cooperation.
He was the biggest beneficiary of Liang Wenhao's passing.
"Oh my god, isn't this passing too good? Two consecutive times could directly form a score. It was beautiful!”
The few spectators in the stadium were completely shocked by Liang Wenhao's passing ability.
"Is he a magician? It had only been less than a minute since the game started, and he had already sent out two assists. Each one was more exciting than the last!”
"Who is he? What was his name? Is he this year's rookie?"
