Chapter 247 Angry Dream Chasing Green
Before the ball even started, Green started talking trash: "We lost to you in the last game! It was because we were going back to Oakland to receive the Western Conference Championship trophy. There is nothing more joyful than receiving the award at home! You guys
You will lose miserably today!"
"Come on! If you were as good at playing as you are, you would have won six consecutive championships now!"
Howard didn't spoil Green and mocked him.
Green smiled and said: "I won the championship in my third season, what about you?"
As soon as these words came out, Howard was immediately speechless.
Although his personal honors have surpassed Green's, it is basically a certainty that he will enter the Hall of Fame after retiring.
But he has not had a championship ring so far in his career, which has always been a thorn in his heart.
In other words, this is the thorn in the hearts of all players who have not won a championship.
Seeing that Howard suffered a loss in the verbal dispute with Green, Lin Tian suddenly said: "We will have our first championship ring soon!"
Green laughed loudly: "Young man! Go home early and go to bed tonight, and try to dream of winning the championship trophy."
Just as he said that, the referee asked all the players to get into position and the jump ball started!
The Warriors won the ball on a jump ball, with Stephen Curry in possession.
He stood at the top of the arc and constantly waved his hands to direct the movement.
Immediately afterwards, Bogut, who was near the penalty area, suddenly ran out from the inside and played a pick-and-roll for Curry.
Curry used his pick-and-roll to get rid of Nick Young, and then directly broke through Howard who was switching defense.
His breakthrough speed is definitely not the top in the league, but he controls the rhythm very well.
After rushing into the paint, Curry used a clever fake move to deceive Howard, and succeeded in a layup, scoring the first point of the day.
In today's NBA, the traditional center is the position most susceptible to military training.
In an era where fast breaks are advocated, centers who move slowly and react quickly are often targeted.
As an outside player, he will try his best to misplace the center in isolation.
Although Howard was upset, he had nothing to do. After picking up the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian held the ball, and Green came over expressionlessly.
In G1, it was Barnes who mainly defended Lin Tian. In G2G3, it was Thompson who was responsible for defending Lin Tian alone.
In G4, the Warriors changed their strategy again and let the best defensive player candidate Chasing Green guard Lin Tian.
This extremely frequent substitution defensive strategy is extremely rare.
Green has been in the spotlight in the past two years. Last season, he was selected to the All-Defensive First Team. However, he was not satisfied. He even complained publicly that he did not win the DPOY. This year, if nothing else, he will also be selected for the All-Defensive Team.
A great lineup.
He is definitely not a player with outstanding static talent. In the NBA where there are so many talents, Green can even be said to have mediocre talent. Otherwise, he would not have been selected by the Warriors until the second round of the draft that year, and he still finished his studies that year.
He decided to participate in the draft only in his senior year, and he was an older rookie at the time.
The height of 2.01cm is the official data. In fact, he looks much shorter than Lin Tian.
Lin Tian even thought that Green's bare feet might be less than 2 meters tall.
What impressed people most was his loud voice and spiritual attributes.
This guy, whenever the Warriors are lagging behind or the players are in a bad mental state, he will always stand up and act as the team's spiritual leader.
Limited by his short height, Green always likes to use small moves to provoke his opponents when defending.
Sometimes he plays hastily and his movements are even a little dirty. This also leads to Green's average fouls per game, ranking 12th in the league.
His speed is definitely not as good as Thompson's, and Lin Tian knows that he can use this to beat Green.
Dream Green rejected Thompson's request to double-team. He bent slightly and said harsh words to Lin Tian: "Rookie! You can't be lawless anymore!"
Lin Tian grinned and suddenly accelerated to the left with the ball.
The moment Green followed up, he made a counterattack and returned to the right with an extremely elegant hip dribble.
He almost fell down again after going back and forth.
When Dream Chaser Green slowed down, Lin Tian had already easily rushed inside and scored two points.
The fans instantly burst into amazing cheers, but Dream Green couldn't hold back his old face.
He is a DPOY candidate! He was almost knocked down by this rookie again, which is amazing!
The selection of Dpoy is now at a critical stage. Although the selection is for the regular season Dpoy, some media reporters will ultimately watch the playoffs, which will affect their subjective judgment.
After Lin Tian made a layup, when he returned to defense, he smiled at Green and said: "Is this the strength of the best defensive team? I think we can replace all the reporters who voted! They actually put a defense like this Bad guys make the best defensive team! Is there anyone in this league who can defend?"
After saying these words, Dream Chaser Green instantly became furious: "I will definitely make you pay a heavy price! Damn rookie!"
After Curry held the ball for half the game, perhaps because he was too angry, Green approached Curry and asked for the ball.
Curry gave the ball to Green.
Green often serves as the team's organizer, so it was no surprise to him.
And this season, Green's average assists are more than 7 per game, which is higher than Curry's assists.
Letting Green deal the cards can sometimes play a very good role.
Thompson and Curry started running according to their usual tactics.
They used cross moves to consume the energy of Nick Young, Kobe and others.
Although he is a little tired, as long as he can find some space, he will pose a great threat to the Lakers.
When Curry ran for several seconds and basically gave himself a space to catch and shoot, Green did not pass to him, but instead shot a three-pointer over Tucker.
Bang!
After a three-pointer, Howard successfully grabbed the rebound.
Cole, who was on the sidelines, witnessed this scene and frowned.
This is not like the way Dream Green plays! Although this guy is always aggressive, his calmness is something that many players don't have.
This can only mean one thing! Green was so enraged that he lost his mind!
And what made him lose his mind was just a rookie player?
Lin Tian received Howard's pass and continued to stimulate Green: "With this ball, I will complete a three-pointer above your head! And there is nothing you can do."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly collected the ball and shot a very fast step-back three-pointer.
Dream Green also rushed forward, but failed to cause any interference. He could only watch the ball fly over his head and finally fall into the basket.
Chapter completed!
