Preseason, just a warm-up game.

In the future twenty or thirty years later, star players can even choose to play symbolically for a few minutes and perfunctorily treat fans who have bought tickets.

But in the 1990s, preseason was also an important part of a season.

Young players need preseason to adapt to the pace of the NBA, and older players also need preseason to find their state.

Therefore, in this preseason, the confrontation can even be very fierce, and it is possible to fight.

The Warriors' first preseason match was against the Seattle Supersonics from the north.

When Lin Xing scratched his head when he learned that the first game of the preseason was about to play the supersonics-

Isn't it bad to have a brother-in-law fight before this season even begins?

Xiao Chong was very excited: "It's great to play the supersonics in the first game of the preseason. We must win this game!"

Lin Xing didn't ask why he had to win because he knew:

The last time the Warriors made it to the playoffs was in the 91-92 season. In that season, the Warriors held third in the Western Conference.

As a result, in the playoffs, they were beaten by the Supersonics in the first round.

Even if it is just a preseason game, it is a battle of revenge that is burning with rage for the little bugs that have been holding on for more than a season.

Lin Xing, who was not in the Warriors at that time, was not interested in this. What he thought of was-

"This supersonic speed is not weak!"

How could a team that reached the Western Conference Final last season and fought against the Suns for 7 games?

More importantly, the two core cores of this supersonic can match Lin Xing by chance.

Point guard Payton is their defensive core. According to common sense, he cannot defend Lin Xing, who is the main player in power forward.

But the problem is that Lin Xing, the power forward, is not serious, he is a power forward in possession of the ball.

And it is extremely fast, has outstanding explosive power, and is invincible.

As long as you are an opponent who is not smart, it is impossible to use power forwards to defend Lin Xing.

Look at the wing of this supersonic speed. Detrev Schramf is the kind of forward who is not bad. If you expect him to follow Lin Xing, you will be counting on the wrong person.

So, after specific analysis, the one who can defend Lin Xing is either Payton or Supersonics shooting guard Kendal Gill.

Of course, the focus is on the defensive end.

There are two reasons why Lin Xing plays power forwards-

First, the little bug, God's left hand and the madman's outer line are lined up in a row, and no one is suitable for substitutes.

Second, the Warriors lacked major generals in the interior, and Lin Xing did not go to the fourth position, and the starting players in the interior were not ranked.

However, Old Nelson did not really treat Lin Xing as a power forward, so to say:

On the offensive end, Lin Xing is still a point guard, but on the defensive end, he is really a power forward.

So, he was sure and sure, the one who guarded Sean Camp must be him.

More than a season ago, Lin Xing and Kemp met from afar.

At that time, Kemp was still complaining that George Carl had evenly divided their playing time and ball rights, so that he could not play All-Star data.

More than a season has passed and Kemp has not been able to change that.

But in the 1992-93 season, Kemp, who averaged 17.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, was already selected as the All-Star.

Many young fans don’t think Kamp is so strong, because Kamp’s data is like this.

Scoring less than 20 points, rebounds in just over 10, plus a little more steal and block.

It looks not top-notch at all, very second-rate.

But in fact, the reason why his data is not top-notch is that George Carl has been pressing him.

In the 1990s, when he liked to fuck the stars, his playing time was only in early 30 minutes.

Moreover, his average number of shots per game has always been just over 10 times.

Last season when he became an All-Star substitute, he averaged only 13.4 shots per game.

It can be said that the coach George Carl is the opposite of Tom Siberdu.

If you don’t look at the data and only look at the battle, the playoffs of the strong showdown, Kamp, Dameng, Fliggy, and Malone have all reached the tiebreak.

While losing to Fliggy, Kemp's data was not at a disadvantage.

Among them, in the series against Malone in the peak season, he had a shooting percentage of up to 69%.

It can be said that aside from being suppressed by George Carl and his extremely undisciplined personality, Kemp's strength can be regarded as the top of the big forward's sharp edge.

In the first game of the preseason, he was going to attack Payton and defend Kemp. Lin Xing was so overwhelmed that he was a little breathless.

...

Although it was just a preseason game, Yangwu made the decision to broadcast the game.

The reason is of course because of Lin Xing’s existence.

Domestic fans don’t know much about Lin Xing, they only know that Lin Xing is the first flower seer in the NBA.

I know that he is the No. 1 prize, and I also understand what the No. 1 prize means.

Apart from that, they knew very little.

And such a preseason game is to give them a chance to get to know Lin Xing first.

Before the game, Lin Xing also learned about the news from his agent Aaron Goodwin.

Although the pressure is high, Lin Xing is still ready to prove the value of the top scholar.

...

On the day of the game, before the game, Lin Xing and Xiao Chong did not meet Payton.

As soon as the two arrived at the stadium, they went straight into the locker room.

Soon, the game is approaching.

Old Nelson stood in the locker room and he was about to announce the starting lineup for this game.

During this period of training, the Warriors' team competitions were mixed with main substitutes. Old Nelson has never been clear who is the main and who is the substitute.

Therefore, this game is the opportunity for the players to roughly determine who is the main force and who is the substitute.

Old Nelson is not like Hong Tao, and he has no idea of ​​hiding it. He directly announced five names-

"Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin, Rattler Spreville, Stalin, and...Tyrone Hill!"

"This is the starting five of this game."

Lin Xing glanced at Luke Longley, who was 2.18 meters tall, and then looked at Tyrone Hill, who was registered at 2.06 meters tall, who was actually not as tall as that.

He had a question mark on his face and wanted to ask Old Nelson, are you sure?

Just this set of starters, Little Bug of 183, Spreville of 196, Mullin of 2.01 meters, plus him and Tyrone Hill.

Is this tall, can I be sure to be able to get along in the NBA?

But in fact, the starting lineup of Old Nelson was carefully considered.

Because the overall height of the opponent Supersonics is not high, the center is Sam Perkins at 2.06 meters, the power forward is Kemp at 2.08 meters, the small forward is Schramf at 2.06 meters, the back line is Kendal Gill at 1.96 meters and Payton at 1.93 meters.

It is actually very reasonable to be shorter than shorter ones.

If Longli really starts, he may be caught by the pain point by the same slow supersonic speed and beat him up.

"Okay guys, remember our tactical points-"

Old Nelson clapped his hands and stopped halfway.

Then, Lin Xing's teammates cooperated and shouted: "Speed!"

"besides--"

"Give the ball to Stah!"

Lin Xing looked confused. What does this mean? Do elementary school students answer questions in class?

"Sta, don't close your mouth and shout with me, Ok?"

“Ok, OK…”

Lin Xing secretly wiped his sweat. What kind of special habit is this?

...

The Warriors' home court is not called Oracle at the moment, but it is indeed Oracle.

The reason why it is not called oracle bone inscriptions is because oracle bone inscriptions have not been named yet.

The unnamed Oracle Stadium now has only one very ordinary name - the Auckland Stadium.

In this preseason, the Oakland Stadium, which can accommodate 19,596 people, sat about half of the seats, with an average attendance rate.
