The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 109 This is your team! "Captain Jack"'s downfall!
After Zhang Bolong's transaction was completed, a large number of media flocked to the Bay Area to interview everything related to him.

Even those who hate him have to admit that this rookie already has phenomenal popularity and attention.

Although Oakland, which relies on San Francisco, is considered one of the top major ball markets in the United States, they haven't enjoyed such exposure for a long time.

Jason Richardson: "Dragon? I played against him. He is a great young man who passes the ball very well. I believe he can connect this brand new team."

Michael Pietrus: "I can't wait to play with him. He is like an elf on the court. It is a pleasure to watch him play."

Andris Biedrins: "I remember the last game, Dragon and Ronnie beat us together, but I always thought that if I replaced Ronnie, I would perform better, because the organization of the Dragon marvelous."

Matt Barnes: "He is a very tough player. I hope he can continue to be tough. Soft guys can't lead a team."

Anyone can see that the old Nelson exchanged Zhang Bolong to be the core of the team, and these big guys who are the main players of the team also expressed their goodwill as much as possible.

Even Monta Ellis, whose position was directly threatened by the arrival of Zhang Bolong, said generously:
"If the team needs it, and that guy is Dragon, I'm willing to contribute off the bench. Not many teams in the league can stop me."

This not only expressed his welcome to Zhang Bolong, but also showed his spirit.

You know, Ellis said in his previous life that he was the second best player in the league.

"Kobe is the first, my second is LeBron James!"

It's just that the popularity of Ellis' famous saying has been affected by Dampier's "West Second Front"'s "Pearl and Jade First", and it is not so popular.

Even so, this is the existence of Kyogen's K[-].

However, although the old players of the Warriors expressed their welcome to Zhang Bolong, the new players who joined the team made different voices.

In particular, the Pacers have not played against the Lakers this season, which makes them question Zhang Bolong's strength.

"I will assist him, as long as he beats me."

Stephen Jackson said lightly.

How this "fight" is played, he did not elaborate.

This also made many people start to worry about whether Zhang Bolong could successfully convince the public.

And Zhang Bolong, who is the focus, stands still in the middle of the storm.

The first thing he did when he came to Oakland was to go to the Warriors' training hall for daily shooting drills.

Then, he had a long talk with Old Nelson at his home.

Before that, Zhang Bolong never thought that he would leave the Lakers so early.

But now, he thinks maybe it was the right decision.

As a coach, Nelson Sr. regards him as the future of this team,

And as an old man who is nearly seventy years old, he also cares about Zhang Bolong as his grandchildren.

Here in the old Nelson, he felt a completely different treatment from Phil Jackson.

Which of these two is the better coach? Judging from his resume, of course, the "Zen Master" who can't wear a championship ring on one hand is more brilliant.

But for him, old Nelson's attitude gave him a feeling of dying for his confidant.

Especially that sentence:
"Son, this team is yours now."

……

To be honest, Zhang Bolong was a little surprised by the Warriors lineup.

Although there are no top players in the league like Kobe Bryant among their players, and there are no superstars or even All-Stars, but they win because of their average strength and system fit.

At least it is more suitable than the Lakers' lineup.

The Tigers may not be able to withstand the bite of wolves. In the original Lakers team, apart from Zhang Bolong himself, only Kobe and Odom were above the A level.

And what about the Warriors?

"Slam Dunk" Jason Richardson, "Captain Jack" Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, "Mississippi Bullet" Monta Ellis...

These are all fierce generals in their prime!
Especially with the completion of the second deal, Harrington, Jackson and others perfectly replaced Murphy and Dunleavy Jr. who were weak and slow. It can be said that the old Nelson's idea is also the blueprint in his mind.

So far, the Warriors team that created the Black Eight miracle in the previous life, the "Golden State Gang" that started the small ball with the Suns and is full of blood and passion, except for Davis being replaced by himself, all members have arrived !
Today, the Warriors' starting lineup will be composed of Zhang Bolong, Richardson, Jackson, Harrington and Biedrins.

The book strength of this set of starters may not necessarily rank high in the league.

But on the bench, the three of Ellis, Pietrus, and Barnes have the strength to start in other teams.

Coupled with the bench gangsters such as Turiaf and Azubuike, it can be said that there are few teams in the Warriors' bench firepower that can stop them.

Zhang Bolong's ambition suddenly emerged.

"Yeah, this is my team."

……

On December 2006, 12, the first training session of the Warriors.

Zhang Bolong, who was always the first to arrive, was late.

When he hurried into the team's training facility, the first test of the new team followed.

"Captain Jack" didn't know whether it was intentional or not, the moment he stepped into the arena, he kicked the ball to the other side of the arena, and then yelled at him loudly:
"Hey, rookie, it's not a good habit to be late for practice, get me the ball!"

The scene was silent for a while, only the old Nelson on the side had a straight face.

He wants to defend Zhang Bolong, but he also understands that this is a test that Zhang Bolong must go through.

You can't lead the team if you can't convince the players.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of the whole team, Zhang Bolong slowly walked towards the basketball over there.

"Is he really going to pick it up?" Biedrins lowered his head.

"If he really picks it up, then he's a bastard, and I won't play with him," Barnes said.

Several people muttered, only the little butcher who followed Zhang Bolong was ready to make a move.

Just when he was about to sneak attack from behind Jackson, Zhang Bolong had already picked up the ball.

"Basketball is a player's most trusted companion, Steph.

If you want to make something happen, then I suggest you do it in a mature way instead of taking your anger out on basketball.

It's not manly at all. "

Zhang Bolong flicked the ball with a smile, then walked over slowly.

"Ha, so what does it mean to be a man? You rookie."

Jackson walked up to meet him.

He didn't care about the team's punishment to him, he just wasn't satisfied with accepting the command of a rookie like this.

"Hello, Stephen!"

Just as Jackson stepped forward aggressively, Old Nelson finally spoke.

However, before Old Nelson could speak, Jackson stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Zhang Bolong's arm, a little surprised:
"Are you... bleeding?"
