On October 6, Sun Yi drove to Oracle Arena to officially report.
When he came to the locker room, he did not see any other teammates.
It's normal when you think about it. After all, Sun Yi was the first player to come to the gym for training last season. Other players on the Warriors are not as diligent as him.
After changing into training clothes, Sun Yi came to the court to start personal training.
Not long after, Warriors players arrived one after another.
Old players such as Curry and Ellis came up to say hello to Sun Yi and gave them cordial greetings.
The newcomers who just joined the Warriors this season have different attitudes towards Sun Yi.
David Lee and Tony Allen were a little reserved and simply said hello to Sun Yi.
Tyson Chandler met Sun Yi at the World Championships and their relationship was relatively good.
Bledsoe is a junior of Sun Yi and Curry. He is quite familiar with them and has already become close to the veteran players of the Warriors.
Due to his personality, Ah Lian just nodded to Sun Yi, which was considered a greeting.
Sun Yi was not surprised by this. He knew that Ah Lian had such a personality, so he immediately took the initiative to chat for a few words.
I was happy to learn that the Arab League got along well with the veteran players of the Warriors.
After that, Sun Yi briefly exchanged greetings with his new teammates without having too much in-depth communication.
After all, this is just the first day of meeting, and there will be plenty of time to communicate slowly.
After meeting his teammates, Sun Yi followed the team's physical trainer for a physical examination.
More than two hours later, a delighted physical trainer took Sun Yi back to the training ground and handed the physical test report to the coaching staff.
After reading Sun Yi's physical test report, head coach Nelson nodded with satisfaction and smiled happily.
Assistant coach Steve Kerr was not calm. After reading Sun Yi's physical test report, he was dumbfounded and a little unbelievable.
When the other Warriors players saw Assistant Coach Cole looking like he had seen a ghost, they were very curious about Sun Yi's physical test report. They came over to take a look, and they all gasped and looked shocked.
"This guy Sun is simply not a human being. He is so perverted. His progress is too fast!" Curry muttered in a low voice.
At this stage, the only thing he excels in is his shooting ability. In other aspects, he is completely overwhelmed by Sun Yi.
"It seems that I have to train harder to improve my strength, and I can't let the gap between Sun and Sun get wider and wider."
Curry made plans silently in his heart, his eyes filled with endless fighting spirit.
On the other side, the head coach Old Nelson saw the players gathered together, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, everyone has dispersed and gone to train separately. There is nothing interesting to see. Sun has such strength, train hard with him."
Inseparable."
After listening to Nelson's poisonous chicken soup, some young players instantly became excited and decided to train hard.
Other veteran players expressed doubts about Nelson's words.
Coach, please don’t lie to me, this is not a level that can be achieved through hard training alone!
Nelson didn't know what these players were thinking at this time. After exchanging a few words with Sun Yi, he led the coaching team back to the office to discuss the next training plan.
In fact, the Warriors have already started training camp, and the training of other players has been going on for a long time. However, Sun Yi has not returned to the team and cannot conduct actual combat drills.
Now that Sun Yi has returned to the team, all members of the Warriors are here, and the training camp has officially started.
With the opening of the training camp, in addition to completing daily training, the Warriors players also have to conduct intra-team competitions, practice tactics, and adjust the lineup.
During this period, Sun Yi showed great strength and crazy training and completely conquered his new teammates.
Who doesn’t like a strong and self-disciplined teammate!
At the same time, Sun Yi also put great pressure on other players.
If a strong player works so hard, how can they, players with mediocre talents, dare to be lazy.
Therefore, led by Sun Yi, other Warriors players also worked hard to train.
Nelson was very pleased to see such an atmosphere in the team and decided to carry forward this fine tradition.
In this way, the training camp is proceeding in an orderly manner, the new players are gradually integrated into the Warriors system, the cooperation between teammates is becoming more and more tacit, and everything is developing in a good direction.
As time passed quickly, the one-week training camp came to an end in the blink of an eye.
After the training camp ends, the team's roster for the new season is basically determined.
Point Guard: Curry, Bledsoe
Shooting Guards: Ellis, Moreau, Tony Allen
Small forward: Sun Yi, Brewer, Reggie Williams
Power forward: David Lee, Arab League, Radmanovic.
Center: Tyson Chandler, Biedrins.
There are still two vacant positions that will be reinforced later according to the team's needs.
The Warriors' current lineup is enough to compete for a playoff spot in the new season.
As the new season approaches, the Warriors shift their focus to the upcoming preseason.
…
…
On October 14, all members of the Warriors set off for China to participate in this year's China Games.
NBA President David Stern attaches great importance to this China Game.
He had discussed with other league executives a long time ago to determine the teams participating in the Chinese competition, arrange the specific schedule, and mobilize all resources to promote this Chinese competition.
The teams participating in this China game are the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks.
This matchup has a lot to watch. It is not only the national derby between Sun Yi and Arab League against Dayao, but also the Mavericks' revenge battle to wash away the shame of being beaten by the Warriors last season.
This China game will first be played at Wukesong Stadium, and then moved to the International Sports Performing Arts Center in Guangzhou for another game.
After the schedule for the China Games was released, domestic fans were excited because they had something exciting to watch again.
China's runner-up finish at the Men's Basketball World Championships brought domestic basketball attention to a new peak.
The attention brought by this China competition is absolutely unprecedented.
…
…
October 15th, Wukesong Gymnasium.
At this time, the stadium was already full, and the enthusiastic fans were patiently waiting for the game to start.
Except for the different venue, the other procedures of the NBA China Game are basically the same as the NBA Preseason Game.
When the entrance ceremony was held, the fans were very enthusiastic and gave the players of both teams warm applause and cheers.
The most popular among them is undoubtedly Sun Yi.
After helping the Chinese men's basketball team win the runner-up spot in the World Championships, Sun Yi's popularity in the country has reached its peak, and he has become the number one player in the domestic sports world.
After the entrance ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen.
The Mavericks starting lineup is: Kidd, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Dayao.
Yao Yao has just returned from injury and will not be able to play for long. He still needs more time to recover, re-adapt to the NBA's rhythm of confrontation, and regain his previous state.
The starting lineup of the Warriors is: Curry, Ellis, Sun Yi, A Lian, Tyson Chandler.
Since it was a Chinese game, Nelson had matured into a mature player, so letting the UAE start the game was considered a favor and won the favor of the Chinese fans.
It can be seen from the starting lineups of both sides that the two teams attach great importance to this game, and at least they will fight seriously in the beginning.
In the jump ball session, Chandler took off hard and hit the basketball first and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first opportunity to attack.
Curry quickly dribbled the ball forward and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.
Chandler immediately stepped forward to coordinate the pick-and-roll.
Dayao did not follow him out, but still stayed near the penalty area to guard the basket.
Curry, who was about to break through the screen, saw Kidd go around the screen to defend in advance. Without any hesitation, he jumped directly and shot the basketball in his hand.
Kidd naturally considered this situation to happen and could only bet on Curry's touch.
But the result was different from what he imagined. The ball went directly into the net, allowing the Warriors to take the lead.
The ball transitions and the Mavericks attack.
Kidd quickly dribbled the ball to the top of the key, observed the position of his teammates, and immediately passed the ball out.
In the mid-range area on the right, Nowitzki relied on Ah Lian to receive the pass, leaned on Ah Lian and then turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper.
Ah Lian immediately rushed to interfere, but the effect was minimal.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!
3:2!
Looking back, the Warriors attack.
Curry dribbled to the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball out.
Outside the right three-point line, Sun Yi received the pass and made a three-threat action. Seeing that Marion was indifferent, he immediately released the ball to start.
Marion reacted quickly and moved laterally to block the ball with small steps.
But he didn't expect that Sun Yi would attack from the east and west, forcefully change direction and break through to the other side.
Seeing this, Nowitzki immediately retreated to make up defense.
Sun Yi, who was dribbling the ball, directly chose to pass the ball instead of forcing his way to the basket to meet the man.
Ah Lian, who was standing in the right corner, received the pass and immediately took off to shoot.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Under the basket, Dayao grabbed the rebound, found Kidd immediately, passed the ball, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
Kidd quickly dribbled the ball forward. Seeing that the Warriors retreated very quickly and had no plan for a fast break, he slowed down and waited for his teammates to run into the penalty area and take position.
Dayao quickly rushed into the penalty area, leaning on Chandler and just about to reach for the ball, Kidd's perfect pass followed.
After receiving the pass comfortably, Dayao quickly turned around and scored the ball with a hook.
There was nothing Chandler could do about this ball. Yao was simply invincible in the penalty area.
Chandler picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline, and sent the ball out.
Curry received the pass, quickly dribbled forward, while observing the position of his teammates, and passed the ball just after halftime.
Sun Yi, who was on the fast break, received the pass and rushed directly into the paint. After physical confrontation with Marion who stepped forward to defend, he made a tough layup.
Immediately afterwards, Nowitzki missed a mid-range jumper.
The Warriors protected the defensive rebound and launched a defensive counterattack.
Sun Yi quickly dribbled forward, came outside the three-point line to attract the defense, and then threw the ball towards the basket.
Ah Lian quickly rushed into the penalty area, jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
The audience burst into thunderous applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.
After that, the starting players of both teams showed their offensive abilities, taking the lead alternately, and no one could do anything to the other.
When the first quarter of the game lasted about 6 minutes, the head coaches of both sides made large-scale substitution adjustments.
For the head coaches of the two teams, there is no need to fight bloody games in the preseason. The main thing is to conduct tactical drills.
The Warriors replaced Curry, Ellis and Chandler and replaced Bledsoe, Tony Allen and Biedrins.
The Mavericks replaced Kidd, Marion and Dayao, and replaced Terry, Butler and Haywood.
After the substitutions and adjustments, the two sides began to compete defensively, and the shooting percentages of the two teams dropped accordingly.
Sun Yi didn't do much attacking, he just sent "cannonballs" to his teammates.
But his teammates were not very good and failed to get assists.
The rookie Bledsoe was very excited, but he was a little too excited and his offensive choices were very poor.
Teacher Tony only has defense, and his offense is close to zero.
Biedrins was paddling the whole time, with very low offensive desire, and was not interested in such a game.
Only Arab League was more reliable, constantly moving to cut to the basket and convert Sun Yi's pass into assists.
The Warriors played poorly offensively, and the Mavericks weren't much better.
Under the strong defense of the Warriors, Terry, Butler and others continued to work hard and failed to open up the situation for the Mavericks.
Just like that, the first quarter ended, and the score on the big screen was 20 to 18, with the Warriors leading by 2 points.
Immediately after the start of the second quarter, the main players of both sides reappeared, once again bringing a hearty offensive feast to the fans.
This scene did not last long. The head coaches of both sides once again made personnel adjustments and sent in more role players for tactical adjustment.
Although Dayao, Sun Yi and others could not be seen playing on the field, which made the fans feel a little disappointed, the players on the field did not move. They all actively moved according to the tactical arrangement, cooperated with the main players in tactics, and tried their best to
Going to the game can be regarded as compensation to the fans.
In this way, the first half of the game ended, and the Warriors led by 5 points entering the second half.
The short intermission ended and the second half began.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the head coaches of both teams sent out some of their main players.
As new players, David Lee and Chandler need more time to adjust and integrate into the Warriors' tactical system.
For the Mavericks, Nowitzki is sent into the game.
As a new player, Dayao was supposed to play and run in, but he just returned from injury and specifically limited his playing time, so he did not continue to play.
In the third quarter, the two sides played evenly again and did not widen the point difference.
After the inter-quarter break, it’s the decisive moment of the fourth quarter.
Warriors head coach Nelson made a big move and allowed Sun Yi and Arab League to play the entire quarter.
The Mavericks were not so willful. They sent out some of their main players and still focused on getting the lineup together.
After the start of the fourth quarter, Sun Yi no longer hid his clumsiness and played freely. Not only was he able to score, but he also led his teammates to score, launching a 10-0 offensive climax and instantly widening the point difference.
After that, the Mavericks struggled to catch up, but the hole they dug was so big that they couldn't fill it after the game.
Relying on Sun Yi's explosion, the Warriors maintained their lead until the end of the game.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks 105-98, getting off to a good start in the preseason.
The next match between the two sides will be moved to the International Sports and Performing Arts Center in Guangzhou.
