Chapter 96 The regular season is coming(1/2)
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a moderately intense match and earning 2,000 training points."
Back in the apartment, Sun Yi lay on the bed and opened the system panel.
"The intensity of the preseason is average, so we should be able to get more training points in the regular season and playoffs."
After receiving the rewards issued by the system, Sun Yi opened the [Redemption Mall] page to view it.
He previously spent 10,000 points to open a product grid again, and currently has a total of six product grids.
At this time, the items in these six opened grids are:
[Ordinary Nutrient Solution] 10: Selling for 200 training points.
[Advanced Nutrient Solution] 10: Priced at 2,000 training points.
[2x Bonus Card] 1: Selling for 500 training points.
[4x Bonus Card] 1: Selling for 1,000 training points.
[Wristband (White)] 1: Priced at 10,000 training points.
[Jersey (white)] 1: Priced at 10,000 training points.
After checking them out, Sun Yi bought them all. Exclusive equipment is a must-buy because it is difficult to get it.
[White Jersey]: Permanently increases the wearer's endurance attribute by 1 point.
After placing the [white jersey] in the equipment column, Sun Yi spent a certain number of training points to enter the virtual dreamland for actual combat drills and accumulate game experience.
…
Early the next morning, Sun Yi saw reports praising him and Curry in the newspapers.
“These media reporters really adapt to the changing circumstances!”
Previously, reporters from these media also questioned that Curry's physical condition was not enough to play in the NBA and that he needed to be transferred to the Development League for training.
As a result, just a few days later, these guys were slapped in the face, and then they immediately changed their style of writing and praised Curry.
These media reporters really have no bottom line for traffic.
In addition, Sun Yi also saw news reports about Biedrins, another protagonist of the previous game.
His injury report was officially released and he was diagnosed with a left shoulder fracture and will be absent for at least two to three months.
"It's such a pity. I have already worked hard, but I didn't expect to encounter such an accident." Sun Yi sighed.
Fortunately, he has systematic support and will not suffer any major injuries.
If you have to find someone to bear the burden, then Bogut alone should bear it.
"It seems that Nelson will re-adjust the lineup in the next preseason, and I hope it can develop for the better."
Naturally, it's not Sun Yi's turn to worry about this kind of thing, he just needs to play his own game well.
After breakfast, Sun Yi went out to meet Curry, and then drove to the training hall for daily training.
…
…
Two days later, the Warriors ushered in the fourth game of the preseason and will challenge the New York Knicks away from home.
Since Biedrins was absent due to injury, Nelson adjusted the starting lineup.
The starting center is Anthony Randolph, the 14th pick in the first round of 2008. He is 211 centimeters tall, has an excellent wingspan, and has excellent running and jumping abilities. He is a very athletic insider.
This guy is very discerning. When he saw Sun Yi and Curry playing together with the Warriors boss Monta Ellis, he shamelessly joined the team that was involved. He also knew his position very well and was willing to do so.
Act as a younger brother.
Originally, Randolph's purpose in joining was to build a good relationship with the team boss and future successor.
But when he saw the intensity of Sun Yi's training, he was filled with admiration. His previous petty thoughts were gone, and he just waited patiently for his lap.
After the starting lineup was replaced, the responsibilities of the main players also changed accordingly.
Randolph was very active on both offense and defense and cherished this hard-won opportunity. This freed up Sun Yi to do more things without having to go back inside to clean up the mess.
It can be said that after Randolph replaced Biedrins in the starting lineup, the Warriors played well on both offense and defense.
Of course, the main reason is because the opponent has no defense.
This game was exciting for both sides.
Neither Nelson nor D'Antoni's teams played defense, and the two sides started to attack to see who had the stronger offense.
In this chaotic battle, Sun Yi and Curry fought with ease and frequently performed tacit cooperation.
On the Knicks bench, D'Antoni looked envious.
The playing styles of Sun Yi and Curry are very suitable for his run and gun system.
Originally, one of them was going to become a member of the Knicks, but was cut off by Nelson.
If he could do it over again, D'Antoni would definitely trade up.
It's too late now, we can only see if we can poach Nelson's skills later.
At the same time, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
The Warriors suddenly increased their defensive intensity and adopted unlimited defense changes to ensure that there were defenders in front of the ball carrier and no longer played against the Knicks.
The Knicks players were caught off guard, missing shots one after another and making frequent turnovers.
The Warriors took the opportunity to launch a wave of offensive climax, completely widening the score and sealing the victory.
D'Antoni on the Knicks bench looked confused and had no time to ask for a timeout to adjust.
He also didn't expect that the score would suddenly be widened in just two or three minutes.
Moreover, D'Antoni felt that Nelson was too stubborn, did not follow martial ethics, and engaged in sneak attacks.
It's clear that you're playing defense, but you're so insidious and cunning!
On the other side of the Warriors bench, Nelson also looked confused.
This defensive strategy was not formulated by him.
"Keith, your defensive tactics?"
Nelson asked the assistant coach Smart beside him with a smile.
Smart shook his head and explained: "I guess it may be a defensive strategy that Sun and the others figured out during extra training."
After hearing this, Old Nelson immediately thought of something and nodded with satisfaction.
In normal times, Sun Yi can give some good suggestions to their coaching staff and feels that this little guy has maturity beyond his years.
Moreover, he also found that without Biedrins, the Warriors' offense and defense have improved to a higher level.
This made Nelson quickly forget about this guy, and felt that the lack of him in the team would not be affected.
Little did they know that when Biedrins was injured, Nelson was so angry that he almost vomited blood. After only a few days, he became tired of the new and tired of the old.
In this way, the Warriors took away the game in a wave and maintained their lead until the end.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Knicks 125-112, winning two consecutive games.
In terms of statistics, Sun Yi scored a near-triple-double of 21 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals in the 32 minutes he played.
Curry scored a game-high 32 points, demonstrating his top shooting ability.
Such an explosive performance by the Warriors Twins cannot avoid being praised by media reporters.
Sun Yi has seen through the faces of some media reporters and has no intention of paying attention to outside news and is fully preparing for the next game.
Immediately afterwards, in the fifth game of the preseason, the Warriors returned home and lost to the Utah Jazz, a strong team in the playoffs.
Under the strong defense of the Jazz, Sun Yi only scored 12 points, but he grabbed 14 rebounds and also sent out 5 assists. His performance was quite satisfactory.
Curry's performance was a bit poor. He made 1 of 6 three-pointers and only scored a measly 7 points. He did not score in double figures for the first time in the preseason.
This defeat also made the Warriors realize that their offense is not sharp enough and they have not yet become the strongest spear.
In the next three playoff games, most of the opponents were on par with the Warriors.
Therefore, the Warriors played pretty well and achieved a record of two wins and one loss.
At this point, the Warriors' preseason has ended, with a record of five wins and three losses in eight games.
Although the record looks good, the preseason games are just training, and the main players do not take them seriously, so there is no reference value.
Fans don't care about that much and just look at the data. They feel that the Warriors are not that weak in the new season, but are full of hope.
Moreover, I have high expectations for the newly promoted Warriors twin stars, thinking that they can also produce such outstanding statistics in the regular season.
This cannot be entirely blamed on the fans. We can only say that Sun Yi and Curry performed very well in the preseason.
During the preseason, Sun Yi averaged 18.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 30 minutes per game.
For a rookie who just entered the league, he is very good.
Curry was also able to post comprehensive statistics of 20.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 steals.
