Chapter 97 China Derby

On October 30, the NBA regular season begins.

The Warriors will host the New Jersey Nets.

Early in the morning, Sun Yi woke up naturally according to his biological clock, then went to the bathroom to wash up, take a shower, and put on casual clothes.

Although today is Sun Yi's real career debut, he is not so nervous now that he has experience in preseason games.

After breakfast, Sun Yi went out to meet Curry and drove to the arena together.

After parking the car in the underground parking lot, the two of them arrived at the dressing room with ease.

At this time, no other teammates had arrived in the locker room. After saying hello to Curry, Sun Yi went to his locker to change equipment.

After some fumbling, he took out a pair of brand new combat boots from the locker.

These are Sun Yi's first-generation boots specially tailored for him by Daystar Sports.

The prototype of this pair of shoes is the 8th generation of Kobe Bryant. However, after systematic fine-tuning, the Nike logo was replaced by the Morning Star, and the designer added some Chinese elements to make this pair of boots that were very popular in the previous life more beautiful.

.

Curry on the side saw the boots in Sun Yi's hand and his eyes lit up.

"Sun, what brand of sneakers are you wearing? They look good."

Sun Yi turned around and saw the primary school student's envious eyes. He wanted to laugh a little and handed over his sneakers.

"This is a sneaker company from China. The quality of the sneakers is very good, and the contract benefits are very generous. They also promised to design a pair of exclusive signature boots for me every year, and I can personally participate in the design of the logo and signature."

At this stage, Curry has not signed any sneaker contract, and Sun Yi thinks he can win over him.

Immediately, Sun Yi introduced some generous benefits to the primary school students.

Curry reluctantly returned the sneakers to Sun Yi and said, "Sun, I have to discuss this matter with Austin before I can make a decision."

"Well, don't be anxious, think about it carefully." Sun Yi nodded and replied.

Although Curry did not agree directly, he had already made a plan in his heart.

The quality of these sneakers is comparable to that of Nike, and it also comes with a series of generous benefits. Only a fool would choose to sign a sneaker contract with another brand.

After this episode, Sun Yi continued to change his jersey and shoes.

Not long after, Nelson pushed in the door with his coaching team and clapped his hands to signal the players to be quiet.

"This is our first game of the new season. There is no room for error, and the opponent is of equal strength to us. Let us use our momentum and try our best to win!"

Old Nelson's chicken soup for the soul has no effect. After all, they are all professional players and are no longer the stupid teenagers they were in college.

But the Warriors players gave Nelson a lot of face.

"The Warriors must win!" the Warriors generals roared in unison.

Nelson nodded with satisfaction, led the players out of the locker room and headed to the court to warm up.

When the Warriors players ran out of the tunnel, warm applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

When it was the away Nets' turn to take the field, there was sparse applause.

This is a very good phenomenon, at least he didn't suffer boos from the home fans.

After the brief entrance ceremony, the players from both teams came to the field for warm-up activities.

During this period, Sun Yi stepped forward to exchange a few words with Arab League, and then hugged Arab League under the gaze of countless cameras and reporters.

Since it is a Chinese derby, they are the protagonists, so the popularity should not be wasted.

At the same time, in the sports channel studio, Director Zhang was making an impassioned opening speech.

"Hello, viewers! This is CCTV Sports Channel. We are broadcasting for you the 2009-10 NBA regular season game between the Golden State Warriors and the New Jersey Nets."

"This game will be narrated by myself and Director Xu."

After hearing the familiar voice, the fans in front of the TV cheered up and waited for the game to start.

"We can see that Sun Yi and the Arab League gave each other a friendly hug. I hope they can both perform well in this game."

"Okay, the game is about to start, let's switch the camera to the game scene."

After Director Xu finished speaking, the screen turned and the players appeared on the TV screen.

Back at the game site, the players finished their warm-up activities and returned to the bench one after another.

The starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen at the scene.

Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Ellis, Maggette, Sun Yi, Anthony Randolph.

Nets starting lineup: Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, Terrence Williams, A-Lian, Brook Lopez.

The referee blew the whistle and signaled the starting players from both sides to come to the center of the court.

Sun Yi stood up from the bench, took off his training clothes, and followed his teammates to the court.

When everything is ready, the referee blows the whistle and throws the basketball into the sky above the court.

Randolph jumped up hard, hit the basketball first, and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first opportunity to attack.

"At the beginning of the game, the Warriors attacked first. I don't know how they will end the attack."

In the live commentary box, Kenny Smith, the commentator for this game, said.

On the court, Curry dribbled to the outside of the three-point line. When he saw Sun Yi running up, he immediately passed the ball.

Sun Yi came to the outside of the three-point line to receive the pass, observed the movement of his teammates, and prepared to deal the cards.

The Arab League did not step forward to defend Sun Yi, and adopted a defensive strategy of preventing breakthroughs but not shots.

At the same time, the rest of the Warriors were running quickly without the ball, with Ellis and Curry pulling the Nets' defense.

Randolph quickly ran to the free throw line and set an off-ball screen for Ellis.

As soon as Xiao Gongju got rid of the defense with the help of a screen, he received a wonderful pass from Sun Yi.

Unguarded, Ellis made a pull-up jumper.

"What a ball! Sun Yi passed the ball very accurately, and it was passed to his teammates in a snap, without giving the opponent time to react." Director Zhang commented.

The ball is transferred and the Nets attack.

Harris dribbled the ball forward to the top of the arc and waved to the inside.

Lopez quickly caught up and set up an off-ball screen to block Curry.

After the pick-and-roll, Harris hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Lopez, who caught the ball and made a throw.

The Warriors quickly served the baseline ball and launched a fast break.

At this stage, Lopez has not lost weight yet. He is a standard big center type. He moves very slowly and cannot rush back to defend in time.

At halftime of the Nets, the Warriors got a chance to overwhelm the Nets.

In the transitional offensive phase, Curry took off directly from outside the three-point line.

Harris was shrinking inside and failed to pounce to interfere immediately.

"Dang!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

This was a long rebound. Sun Yi judged his position correctly, rushed to grab the rebound, and smashed the ball to the basket before it even hit the ground.

Randolph received the pass, picked up green onions on dry land, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

There was warm applause and cheers from the audience.

After landing, Randolph pointed at Sun Yi to express his gratitude.

Sun Yi responded with a smile on his face. He was equally happy to get an assist easily.

Looking back, the Nets attack.

Harris and Lopez once again played pick-and-roll, but failed.

Curry broke the pick-and-roll early by going around the screen.

The tactic failed, and Harris could only force a breakthrough. Seeing the Warriors No. 9 retreating to the basket to defend, he immediately gave the ball away.

Ah Lian received the pass and made a direct mid-range jump shot.

Originally, Sun Yi could rush back and interfere, but as a compatriot, it was understandable to let him go.
