Chapter 495 The Knights 3 giants are coming!
Zhou Yang is very clear that the most difficult thing for the three consecutive championships is not the opponent, but himself.
Because apart from the core players, other players are not too obsessed with the championship.
For role players, getting a big contract comes first.
At present, in the Warriors team, the salaries of the players are not high. Needless to say, Zhou Yang and Curry are still on rookie contracts and belong to child labor.
As for the other players, the one with the highest salary is Chandler, but Chandler has signed a four-year contract and it is not time to renew it.
The other players were all recruited from Taobao by the team manager under Zhou Yang's suggestion, and their salaries were very low.
So Zhou Yang has made suggestions to the team owner, hoping that they can give more bonuses to the role players.
For example, Livingston, he is now the main scorer on the bench, but his salary is only 200 million US dollars a year, but he is doing a job of 800 million US dollars.
The owner of the Warriors is pretty good. He followed Zhou Yang's suggestion and gave the role players a lot of bonuses.
In addition, he re-signed the contract with Livingston for three years and $2000 million.
You know, when the Warriors signed Livingston the year before last, Livingston got a ten-day short contract with the Thunder, which was only a few hundred thousand dollars.
Therefore, the fighting spirit of the role players of the Warriors is still there, and they will do their best for the three consecutive championships.
……
During the offseason, the managers of various NBA teams are very busy. They are busy signing in and checking out players to supplement the strength of the team.
An explosive news spread all over the world again.
That is, James left the Heat and returned to the Cavaliers.
Unlike the parallel world before Zhou Yang traveled, James returned to the Cavaliers ahead of schedule.
Maybe it was because he felt that the Big Three were not enough to fight against the young warriors, so he returned to the Cavaliers and fought with Irving.
At the same time, the Cavaliers also used the No. [-] pick to add a few extras in exchange for Love of the Timberwolves.
Cavaliers Big Three formed ahead of schedule, this is the butterfly effect.
Zhou Yang was also surprised when he heard the news.
Compared with another parallel world, this Big Three knights are younger and stronger!
Irving is more capable of scoring than Wade, and is more accurate in three-pointers. Of course, this is because Wade is injured. If it is Wade at his peak, then Irving is incomparable.
Compared with Bosh, Love must be stronger than Bosh, but Love has also been very fierce in recent years, grabbing more rebounds than Bosh, and his three-pointers are also more accurate than Bosh, and the number of shots is lower. many.
It seems that this season's Cavaliers will definitely go sideways in the East.
……
The 2012-2013 season started.
In five preseason games, the Splash Brothers played only two games, and the rest of the games were played by substitute players.
Because the Warriors' goal is to win three consecutive championships, the tone has been set from the coach to the players, that is, there is no need to risk their lives in the regular season, and they will work hard in the playoffs.
But the regular season also has a basic goal, which is the top four in the West.
Of course, players don't play purely for performance, they also have to play exciting games and increase their box office.
Therefore, the Splash Brothers' playing time cannot be too short.
The regular season starts, and the Warriors' first opponent is last year's opponent in the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder!
The Warriors host the Thunder.
In the parallel world before Zhou Yang traveled, Harden failed to negotiate with the detonator because of millions of dollars, and was poached by the rocket.
But in this parallel world, Harden stayed in the Thunder, which allowed the Thunder to retain last year's complete lineup and continue to hit the championship.
In the first quarter, the Thunder's four players played extremely well, once leading the Warriors by 14 points.
But Zhou Yang worked hard in the second half of the first quarter and gradually narrowed the point difference.
Curry only played more than 5 minutes in the first quarter, and still tried to stagger the time with Zhou Yang.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored 33:26, with the Thunder leading by 7 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhou Yang rested, and Curry came on the field with a substitute.
Curry vs. Harden!
Both Curry and Harden have evolved compared to last season.
Old fans have the impression that after Harden joined the Rockets, it seems that both offensive and defensive ends have become full of dominance.
Harden, who stayed in the Thunder, was similar to the Rockets later, with full dominance and richer offensive methods.
But one thing I have to say is that Harden likes to touch porcelain.
Originally, in the past two years, Harden's style of play in the Thunder was quite enjoyable.
But starting this year, Harden's style of play has become more utilitarian, and he is very good at cheating fouls.
Curry defended Harden and got 2 fouls in less than 2 minutes.
Old Nelson had no choice but to take Curry down temporarily.
Under the leadership of Harden, the Thunder continued to expand the point difference.
After 5 minutes in the second quarter, the score between the two teams was 43:32, and the Thunder led by another 11 points.
The Warriors' home fans are very disappointed. As a team that has won two consecutive championships, they hope to see a king who blocks people and kills people.
But the Warriors played calmly, as if they didn't wake up.
On the contrary, it was the Thunder, which played well and with great passion, and felt like they wanted to avenge the Western Conference Finals.
However, Zhou Yang in the second quarter is still worth looking forward to.
When Zhou Yang and the main players played, all Warriors fans stood up and applauded!
The scariest "Second Festival Week" is here!
Zhou Yang did not disappoint the fans either. As soon as he played, he broke through Sefolosha's defense, went near the penalty area, and scored 2 points with an emergency stop jump shot.
Then, through the defense, together with Tony Allen, he cut off Durant's dribble and launched a counterattack.
After halftime, Zhou Yang directly chased for a three-pointer and made another hit!
In less than 1 minute, the Warriors chased by 5 points, and the point difference returned to 6 points.
Thunder coach Brooks sighed, he really couldn't do anything about Zhou Yang.
I have thought of everything I can think of.
Double-teaming, going around the front, it's useless.
In the next few rounds, Durant made a strong shot and made a difficult three-pointer.
But Zhou Yang immediately retaliated with two three-pointers, his domineering side leaked!
Under the leadership of Zhou Yang, the Warriors slowly caught up to the score.
More than 8 minutes into the second quarter, Curry appeared again.
This is 3 minutes of Splash Brothers teaming up to fight!
Both of them feel good. Zhou Yang kept breaking through and scoring the ball, and Curry's shaking after receiving the ball has improved a lot.
Curry was afraid of those powerful guards before, because he was not tall enough and his fake moves were not realistic.
But after two years in the Finals, Curry's feints have evolved.
Westbrook's strict defense cannot prevent Curry.
Swish swish!
The Splash Brothers finally reappeared!
The Warriors played a wave, and at the end of halftime, they completed the overtake!
This made the Warriors fans at the Golden State Oracle Arena happy. They jumped and jumped, chanting the name of the Splash Brothers!
Durant looked somber with his hands on his hips at halftime.
