For example, the tremendous boost that the new GOAT brings to the entire team through his organization and coordination.
Curry was very curious...
If Jordan could play a game against Qin Yue at their respective peaks, what kind of scene would that be?
Curry felt this should be a closely matched confrontation.
It’s just that their teammates might suffer greatly because of it.
After all, while the new GOAT is demolishing the old GOAT’s teammates, the old GOAT will certainly be toying with the new GOAT’s teammates.
The San Francisco Chronicle’s er Anthony Lester was granted access to the Warriors’ preseason training this year.
Anthony Lester was ecstatic about Qin Yue’s outstanding form displayed at the preseason training camp, writing: "I am absolutely certain that the Messiah will return at 100%! He is ready to continue dominating the basketball world!"
It’s just that...
Two weeks later, the day before the Warriors’ media day, ESPN’s experts still ranked the Warriors fourth in the new season’s power rankings.
Behind the Lakers, Celtics, and Supersonic.
For this, ESPN explained that Nash, who has never proven himself in the playoffs, will turn thirty-six next February.
"Steve used to be an NBA MVP, but as a veteran, we cannot be sure if Steve can maintain his game year after year."
Additionally, Wallace, Qin Yue’s other major helper, has traditionally been seen as just a borderline star forward.
"Jerald is a good fit for the Warriors in every way, but compared to Kobe’s helpers, Tim’s helpers, and ’Big-Yao’s’ helpers, Jerald’s star quality is still somewhat lacking."
As for the Warriors’ recent draft pick, second overall, Stephen Curry?
"The Warriors only made a trade to select Stephen with such a high pick because they believe he fits their play style.
But as a draft pick from a weak class, can Stephen really immediately become an indispensable member of these Warriors?
At least in our view, the Warriors, having lost Jason Richardson, are no longer as strong as in previous years."
In the eyes of ESPN’s experts, the only commendable aspect of this Warriors team is that they have a group of strong championship pieces.
But in the NBA, the reason championship pieces can only be championship pieces is precisely because they have never determined a team’s fate, right?
In short, ESPN does not doubt that Qin Yue will make a triumphant return in the new season.
But they’re not optimistic about the Warriors’ championship prospects.
Worth mentioning is that apart from the irate Warriors fans, the external views generally align with ESPN.
Qin Yue might still be the same Qin Yue.
But the Warriors might not still be the same Warriors.
On media day.
Qin Yue noticed that neither Nash nor Wallace could hide their frustration over the external comments.
Last season, waiting for Qin Yue’s return essentially wasted a whole year for Nash, who now has the greatest desire to win the championship with this Warriors team.
However, in ESPN’s evaluation, Nash became the drag on the team.
This undoubtedly filled Nash, who already harbored resentment, with a strong desire to prove himself.
Nash hopes to silence the media with his performance.
And Wallace, who is not good with words, hopes to grow into a genuine star forward beside Qin Yue.
Qin Yue did not expect that ESPN’s would stimulate his two great assistants so strongly.
Thus, feeling the team’s spirit was ready, Qin Yue did not hesitate to state on media day: "The championship will be our only goal for the new season."
...
After media day, the Warriors achieved a four-win and two-loss record in their six preseason games for the new season.
Curry, gradually integrating into the team, performed well in the preseason, shooting a high of 60% from the three-point line.
However, choosing to wear the Warriors’ No. 30 jersey, Curry inevitably became the target for Warriors fans and Bay Area media to pick apart.
After all, the former owner of this jersey was the new GOAT of the basketball world.
On the court, every offensive and defensive round performed by Curry, who dared to inherit the No. 30 jersey, would be involuntarily magnified.
But compared to the stereotypical Curry people imagine, the more scrutinized he is, the more Qin Yue finds that Curry’s resilience is far beyond his imagination.
Therefore, Qin Yue is not worried about Curry being crushed by this pressure.
It’s just that...
Compared to Curry, Danny Green’s preseason performance can only be described as frustrating.
Qin Yue is very clear that in the upcoming season, Green is destined to spend most of his time accompanying the water cooler.
Because there is now no more time to make adjustments and preparations for Green.
The NBA’s new season opener will kick off on October 27th.
As the most anticipated match among the four games on opening day, the Warriors will travel to challenge the Lakers away and participate in the Lakers’ championship banner-raising ceremony and championship ring presentation ceremony.
For those Warriors players who followed Qin Yue to win two championships, this is without a doubt a huge humiliation.
Although the league’s intention of arranging the Warriors to challenge the Lakers away was to help the GOAT quickly regain his touch in the game in the blessed land of Los Angeles.
And to continue fueling the feud between the GOAT and Kobe, using it as a gimmick to garner attention.
But when the once high-and-mighty Warriors players find themselves witnessing the regular-season opener as attendees...
On the day of departure to Los Angeles, there was no need for Qin Yue to make any motivational speeches as the whole Warriors team had quietly formed a consensus.
"If the league wants us to play the villains, then we’ll be the villains," Deng Liwei said after the team arrived in Los Angeles, "We must ruin this night for the Los Angeles People!"
