The older superstars of the NBA
Chapter 180
In the remaining 4 minutes of the second quarter and the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang's performance was perfect.
After he appeared on the field, he continued to use his personal scoring ability to hit the Pelicans' basket. When he scored, he would also assist some teammates. Go into the basket and score.
Although this style of play was not what coach Steve Kerr hoped, he did not stop it. After all, Zhao Feiyang's performance really helped the team recover the point difference.
When the game entered the first half of the fourth quarter, Zhao Feiyang hit a three-pointer with a burst of touch, hitting super long three-pointers one after another, leading the team to widen the point difference between the two sides to as much as 13 points.
93:80.
The leading Pelicans were completely overtaken.
And after a timeout, Zhao Feiyang glanced at the electronic cards, and found that after he had played for 20 minutes, he decisively chose a truce and sat back on the bench.
"Coach Steve, I need to rest, I have some pain in my ankle......I don't know if I just sprained it......"
Zhao Feiyang's words shocked Steve Cole.
He took a closer look and found that Zhao Feiyang's ankle didn't seem to be abnormal. However, after noticing Zhao Feiyang's expression, Coach Steve Kerr immediately understood.
"Zhao, I think..."
Before Coach Steve Kerr could speak, Zhao Feiyang interrupted him, "Coach Steve, if the team wants to get respect from me, they should also choose to respect me... .”
"If you need me to play with an injury, I won't hesitate to say no....I won't risk my career for the Warriors...."
Coach Steve Kerr can't be punished by these words!
"Zhao, I know you're still angry...but I respect you, the team is the first to let you down..."
"You go to rest! But... If the team is behind, I will still let you play..."
Zhao Feiyang nodded.
"of course."
"However, I think that if the team with a gap of 13 points loses again, then this year's playoffs may..."
Zhao Feiyang didn't say any more.
Coach Steve didn't ask any more questions.
In this way, with less than 8 minutes left in the game, Zhao Feiyang, who scored 20 points and 28 assists in 6 minutes, chose to sit on the bench to rest.
The fans were a little confused by this.
However, the Warriors are leading at this time, so it is understandable to let Zhao Feiyang rest.
In the remaining time, the Warriors' main lineup made another appearance.
Although the performance of others is still hip, but with the support of Andre Iguodala and Klay Thompson, the team finally won the game smoothly.
The final score of the two sides was 109 to 106.
The original 13-point advantage ended up being only 3 points.
The moment the timer stopped, even the steady head coach Steve Kerr couldn't help but sweat.
In any case, the Warriors finally pulled back a round.
Even though it was a narrow victory, the fans in Oracle Arena were very happy.
Immediately after the game ended, many fans stood up spontaneously, and they all gave Zhao Feiyang their applause and cheers.
Countless people shouted his name.
When Zhao Feiyang walked to both sides of the player tunnel, the fans beside the stands went crazy, countless people stretched out their hands to him, especially many Chinese fans, they even shouted Zhao Feiyang's name in Chinese.
Zhao Feiyang was also in a good mood. He gave the fans high fives one by one, and even gave his boots to a young fan from Huaxia.
On the other hand, when the other Warriors players walked through both sides of the player tunnel, there were not many cheers at all. Not only did they not find the fans who asked for their autographs, but even the people who high-fived them left.
The team's previous defeats also took away the admiration of these fans for them.
The effect of Zhao Feiyang's first game after his return was immediate. Many fans in the Bay Area knew about this night when he helped the Warriors win.
Similarly, espn reported the news, and those celebrities also talked about it on the show.
"I don't think that's what the Warriors are supposed to be...it's just luck to win like this...."
"Coach Steve hoped for the rotation and pick-and-roll of the entire team, and hoped for a lot of off-ball screens...but after Zhao returned to the team, he relied more on his personal ability... …”
"I know the team won, but this kind of victory can't last...Let's bet if you don't believe me!"
The famous host Ryan Parsons commented.
He has hosted ESPN for many years and was a player of the Warriors in the 90s, but he retired after only a few seasons.
He has always been a solid supporter of the Warriors. Even if the Warriors had a poor record in the previous few seasons, he has never changed his position.
Unlike other NBA legends, Ryan Parsons usually makes a lot of surprising points of view in order to make the show more topical.
In the past, no one would support what he said on the show, but this time, even the other two seniors expressed their agreement.
First up is Charles Barkley.
There are some differences between his views and those of Ryan Parsons, but they are basically the same.
"The Warriors are facing a big problem now. If Steve Kerr wants to continue to implement his tactics, he must make adjustments to the existing lineup...."
"Zhao's performance is very good, but no one knows whether it is luck or not. If the victory cannot be sustained, then such a comeback is meaningless..."
Another person who agrees is Shaquille O'Neal.
He also expressed his views.
"The performance of the Warriors is great! The winning streak at the beginning of the season surprised me....No one thought that Stephen would be injured.... Zhao is not the same as his style Yes, if you can't play chemistry, the situation facing the Warriors may be more difficult...."
Ryan Parsons' words pushed Zhao Feiyang to the forefront, and the approval attitude of Barkley and O'Neal gave Ryan Parsons rare support.
As a result, a heated discussion on whether Zhao Feiyang can carry the Warriors began.
What's even more coincidental is that, on the cusp of this storm, Draymond Green actually liked the words of Ryan Parsons who questioned Zhao Feiyang on his social media account.
Unfortunately, this scene happened to be discovered by fans, and it didn't take long for the outside world to speculate whether there were major conflicts within the Warriors.
At the same time, the management of the Minnesota Timberwolves also got in touch with the management of the Warriors again. They hope that if the Warriors are satisfied with their conditions, they can trade Zhao Feiyang to Minnesota earlier.
