Chapter 378
May is the most beautiful time in summer when everything is full of vitality.

Ocean-going flights land at San Francisco International Airport.

The tall man, surrounded by everyone, arrived at the airport.

They were a team, and it was very obvious that the men surrounded by them were so tall that they attracted the attention of passers-by.

The first thing to do when you get off the plane is to rent a car. The counters of major car rental companies are basically full of queues.

Of course, if you are an individual customer, you must choose a large company and double check with the teller, otherwise you will add a lot of useless insurance premiums, bridge fees and other expenses.

The man has a standard Chinese face, and his team has already arranged for him to travel.

After leaving the San Francisco Airport, they boarded a minibus and went straight to their destination.

"California sunshine lives up to its reputation."

Through the car window, Yao Ming could see buildings receding rapidly outside the window, green trees, blue sky, white clouds, and lake water.

Some people say that the city of San Francisco is a palette in the hands of painters, which brings together the richest and brightest colors. The collision of modernity and classics creates San Francisco, which always makes people linger.

"The purpose of going to the United States this time is to make a big splash in the draft."

"However San Francisco is not one of our main goals."

"Golden State doesn't have the right pick either."

Zhang Mingji actually didn't quite understand it. He didn't know why Dayao was obsessed with coming to the Golden State Warriors.

At this moment, the Golden State Warriors have no draft picks, are not Dayao's main target team, and are fully preparing for the playoffs, so they have no time to deal with Dayao.

Zhang Mingji is a Chinese-American. Zhang Mingji had a relationship with Dayao’s cousin’s best friend in the earliest days, so he came into contact with Dayao. As early as 1996, he was behind Yao Ming when he was still in school in Chicago, and became a secret pusher.

This time Dayao hit the NBA, BenQ contributed a lot.

But he also deeply felt that Dayao's going to the NBA could not be accomplished by relying on his own strength alone, so he also recruited Professor John, Lu Hao and Wang Xiaopeng.

Formed an early team and started working for Dayao.

The first thing to do when you come to the NBA is to prepare a basic physical test for Dayao.

The data of this physical test will eventually be actively delivered to some scouts, so it doesn't matter which city it is.

He is expected to come to the Golden State Warriors, and the Warriors are also one of the teams that invited Dayao to try out.

But the Warriors are sprinting for the playoffs now, so the trial camp is definitely not the most important thing.

This is also Dayao’s team. Why do they feel that it is not appropriate for Dayao to set the first stop in San Francisco, but since Dayao insisted, they still think it is okay, which shows that he still has his own ideas and is not an ordinary 20-year-old youth.

Zhang Mingji probably knew some of Dayao's thoughts.

Including Dayao, he also received the playoff tickets sent by Qin Fei. Qin Fei had invited Dayao to San Francisco to watch his playoff games.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Take your time first. If you are the first to stand on the Golden State Warriors, the rookies who happen to participate in the trial training are not very capable. It is also good to increase a little self-confidence."

Yao's mother came to San Francisco with the team. She belongs to the HR of Dayao's agent team, and she is responsible for finding, considering and selecting personnel.

She may also be the one who supports her son the most, so after hearing what he said, Dayao nodded.

"I'm not worried that I won't be selected. What I have to learn now is to integrate into such a new social culture first, so I want to find Brother Fei in particular. Of course, experiencing the atmosphere of the NBA playoffs on the spot will also be good for future games."

Dayao said with a smile, looking out the window.

There was a little silence in the carriage again, and everyone didn't know what to think about.

.........

The first thing Qin Fei did after knowing Dayao came to the United States was to invite him to the Bay Area to watch an NBA playoff game.

Just like Dayao himself knew, Qin Fei was also full of confidence in his participation in the NBA draft.

Essentially, he's a lottery pick and a favorite this year.

It doesn't really matter where you go.

In the process of getting in touch slowly, it is more important to show one's ability, improve one's commercial value, and finally become the hottest figure among the 00 rookies.

When they arrived in the Bay Area, the Warriors were preparing for the playoffs, and Qin Fei didn't have time to treat Dayao to dinner.

Within two days, the Spurs struck fiercely.

The third game of the series between the Warriors and the Spurs officially started. This is the first game after the Warriors got the match point. It is very likely that they will defeat the Spurs tonight and successfully pass the first round.

The entire Bay Area is cheering for the Warriors, and there are posters and slogans of the Warriors all the way.

The city's black color scheme and lightning have become a new landscape.

The Auckland Stadium had a very strong atmosphere. On the night of the game, it was full of spectators early on.

The helicopter flew in the sky, overlooking the most dazzling arena in the night.

The flames were shining, and the restless fans created the most enthusiastic hustle and bustle when summer comes.

The big screen at the scene showed the starting lineup of the two teams tonight. Sure enough, after two failures, the Spurs adjusted their starting lineup.

Ellie, who defended Qin Fei two days ago, was put on the bench by head coach Popovich.

Putting up the starting lineup is Spurs forward Jeremy Kersey.

There are many coaches in the league who always like to put some players with main force on the bench, so that the second team can maintain a relatively strong offensive, but the premise of doing so is first of all to convince players with such strength to be willing to be a substitute.

Kersi is also a 38-year-old veteran. At his peak, he averaged 19.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game in a single season.

The Spurs always give people a team composed of veterans, but in fact it is true, especially Popovich, who particularly likes to appoint veterans.

Qin Fei didn't care about the Spurs' substitutions. In front of him, they all felt the same.

There have been no changes to the Warriors' roster.

The game started quickly, and the camera showed both sides of the jump ball.

Big Ben lost the jump, David Robinson touched the basketball first, and the Spurs took the first wave of offensive possession.

"Spread out, don't be so tight."

During the retreat, Qin Fei asked Kafei on the flank to lift a little.

The Spurs' high pick-and-roll is very professional.

The quality of David Robinson's pick-and-roll this time is very high. Avery Johnson used David Robinson's pick-and-roll to break through directly from the middle, and then made a small throw.

Big Ben's defense slowed down, and Avery Johnson's throw was extremely firm. The basketball passed Big Ben's fingertips and fell into the basket.

The Warriors fans in the audience were shouting to defend, but they didn't expect to be beaten by the opponent when they came up.

"so fast!"

Although Dayao didn't sit in the first row, he was in a very front position. From his point of view, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the NBA is really fast.

And the confrontation was also very fierce. He noticed that in the melee inside, the two of them were just like wrestling, pushing, pulling, and pulling, doing everything they could.

In the distance, Qin Fei has already brought the ball from the backcourt.

Blaylock didn't get the ball, and Qin Fei was the starting point for the Warriors' offense this time.

Before the inside screen was finished, Da Ben came out to do a pick-and-roll for Qin Fei.

The veteran Keerxi, who was new to the field, chose to step forward and force Qin Fei ahead of schedule.

"Crack!"

Qin Fei dribbled twice, the basketball passed under his crotch, and then switched to the other side, avoiding the interference of the opponent's long arm.

While the two were still in contact, the inside pick-and-roll came up, and Qin Fei stepped over with one step, just passing Daben.

"boom!"

Another jaw-dropping muscle collision.

"Come on, don't let him in!" The Spurs fans were in a hurry, feeling that the Spurs' defense had failed again.

Qin Fei didn't come in at all. In the free throw area, he stopped suddenly and pulled up a jumper.

If David Robinson didn't make a save, the ball would be equivalent to letting Qin Fei make a free throw.

It's no different than giving points.

Qin Fei easily accepted two points.

The offensive play of the two teams in the opening game was very simple, there were not so many complicated moves, that is, after the single-block cover, they did not make timely supplementary shots against the center.

"If it was me, how should I defend?" Dayao on the sidelines watched the game and immediately fell into contemplation. He put himself in the shoes and thought about it. If he was on the court, he was Osaka or David Robinson, facing the opponent's perimeter, how should he defend?
NBA players are all quite distinctive. There are many ways for outside players to punish those players. Once there is a high-quality pick-and-roll, the defense will appear extremely passive. It needs to make up for the previous omissions through a lot of running positions and more active defense.

Qin Fei glanced at the sidelines and saw Dayao just in time. His body was too tall, and when he sat on the sidelines, he was very abrupt, blocking the people behind him.

The camera swept over and froze for two seconds on Dayao's face on the sidelines.

The host at the scene did not know the man.

He didn't know that this was a player who would also participate in the NBA draft until the staff sent the information.

Immediately after that, the basic situation was introduced.

“Here’s a ‘killer’ from China, he’s 7-foot-6, he’s a post player.”

"oh my god, he's really tall, on par with Sean Bradley..."
