"I may sign a short contract this summer and delay entering free agency for a year."
Durant's words attracted the attention of many media people.
As a big name in this summer's contract, Durant's choice will naturally attract the attention of many people.
After all...he is capable of changing the alliance structure!
Klay Thompson, who is about to participate in the three-point contest and the All-Star Game, talked about the Warriors' record this year in an interview.
According to previous ESPN reports, the Warriors' goal is 73 wins.
"Yeah, we're trying to beat the 72-win record.
But our bigger goal is to win the championship.
Without a championship ring, 73 wins are worthless. "
Unlike winning a championship once in history, the Warriors, who have not yet won a championship, are obviously more eager for a championship!
……
After the roundtable, the first is the Celebrity Challenge.
This year's Masters is a Canadian star versus American star format.
What surprised Zhou Si was that there were Chinese faces in the competition.
Zhang Wei, nicknamed Snake, was given the nickname "The Most Kind Man" by netizens. Unlike those stars who are submissive and love their own image, Zhang Wei has always been unconvinced.
He even directly said, "For those trolls, a unified reply: I am your father!!!"
Zhou Si didn't know much about him, but at least compared to Ji Ni, Zhang Wei's solid basic skills during shooting training still made Zhou Si nod repeatedly.
Zhou Si didn't know about Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei was a fan of Zhou Si. After seeing Zhou Si, he came directly to ask for a photo and autograph.
Moreover, Zhang Wei was not flattering at all, and he was neither humble nor overbearing when facing Zhou Si. Zhou Si's impression of him rose again.
After the start of the game, Zhang Wei was a little nervous in the first half and didn't perform much, but he still dared to play and grabbed six rebounds.
During the intermission, Zhou Ster went over to give some pointers.
In the second half, Zhang Wei got better and better, hit 4 layups, and scored 8 points and 8 rebounds in the game.
Compared to those flamboyants, Zhou Si could tell that Zhang Wei really loves basketball. After the game, Zhou Si left his contact information with him, and we can communicate more in the future.
That night, the highlight was the rookie game.
Like last year, this year's rookie game still continues last year's competition system. The first-year and second-year rookies and quasi-rookies are divided into the US team and the world team to compete.
Team USA starters: Towns, Parker, Clarkson, Smart, LaVine
World United starting: Jokic, Porzingis, Wiggins, Bogdanovic, Mudiay
Although the eldest nephew and Richardson were both selected, they can only come off the bench with their current strength.
Zhou Si asked them to relax and just play their own characteristics in the rookie game.
The two sides showed the level of long-range shooting at the beginning of the game, and the three-point long-range shots continued to attack the opponent's basket.
In this game, the two sides threw a total of 34 three-pointers, which also confirmed that the development trend of basketball in this era is gradually advancing to small balls. The long-range shooting ability of each player has become a necessary means for them to survive in the league.
Among them, Porzingis' performance was particularly eye-catching. He scored a game-high 30 points alone, made 8 of 5 three-pointers, 16 of 12 in the game, and a 75% shooting percentage.
In addition, the host Wiggins also had a terrible shooting rate. He made 15 of 13 shots in the game, but he didn't make any gains from beyond the three-point line.
However, the most dazzling thing is Jokic. He once again dominated the inside like last year and led his teammates to victory over the US team.
Although the pick was not high in the draft, Jokic is very mature, and there is only one feeling when watching him play.
You can do it with ease!
After the game, looking at Jokic, who scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists and won the MVP of the rookie game, the eyes of the eldest nephew and Josh Richardson were full of envy.
As expected of you!
On the commentary table, Barkley directly complained:
"Should we ban the Blazers from the rookie game?
Otherwise, there is no suspense about the MVP of the rookie game! "
The audience really heard it.
The year before last was Zhou Si, last year and this year it was Jokic...
The Blazers have monopolized the rookie game MVP for three consecutive years!
Their newcomers are truly terrifying!
After the game, Jokic also joked about his nephew and Richardson in an interview.
"I won the MVP again, next year, Josh and Guo, you guys have to work hard!"
Zhou Si raised the corners of his lips slightly as he watched from the audience. After more than a year in the United States, Jokic has become more and more playful.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Si was very relieved.
……
"Zhou, does our second position need to be strengthened?"
After returning to the hotel, Zhou Si, who received a call from the general manager of Orsi, thought for a while and replied.
"No, Courtney has been able to cope with most situations, and I have some ideas for other powerful defenders."
"Okay, then let's keep in touch."
Halfway through the game, the trade deadline is just around the corner. When the players are on vacation during the All-Star weekend, the management will not be idle.
In other words, they are very busy at this time, second only to the busy summer offseason.
Although there is no mid-term transaction that leads to the championship that season, it will also have a profound impact on the team.
For example, the Lakers traded for Jiasao, and the Warriors traded Ellis for Bogut.
Zhou Si just replied to the general manager of Orsi that he was not lying when he said that he had ideas. During the day, Zhou Si felt it when he saw Richardson, who had gained muscle with the joint efforts of nutritionists and physical trainers. surprise.
Although there is still a big gap from the perimeter defense gate, such a Richardson is enough to defend some powerful guards that Courtney Lee can't deal with.
If you work harder in the second half of the season, you can still be a defensive role player.
……
On the second day, Zhou Si continued to take a group of friends to participate in the All-Star Weekend while eating melons. This day was all individual competitions.
The competition system has not changed from last year, except that the shooting star competition has been cancelled.
The first thing to do is the All-Star Challenge. The participants are Mudiay, CJ McCollum, Isaiah Thomas, Jordan Clarkson, Cousins, Millsap, Thick Eyebrow and Towns.
The duel between four small men and four big men made this single event full of highlights.
In the past, this event had nothing to do with big men, but this night's duel surprised many people. It turns out that the big men's skills are so comprehensive now?
Cousins, Millsap, and Thick Eyebrow didn't take much less time than those little guys, and Towns even showed skills that aren't inferior to those of the little guys, getting through all the way to the finals.
The final is a duel between Towns and Thomas!
Thomas is faster in terms of dribbling speed, but both of them get the first pass to the chest in one go.
Then he dribbled the ball for a layup. Towns' speed did not suffer, but instead he overtook Thomas.
After the two players completed the layup, the smell of gunpowder on the field became more and more intense. They turned around and dribbled and almost collided.
In the final three-point shot, Downs made a direct hit, and defeated Thomas to win the championship.
Looking at Downs who was tightly surrounded by three other big players, Millsap, Davis, and Cousins, Zhou Si also felt a little emotional:
'In the era of small balls, the concept of position is really becoming more and more blurred. '
