The older superstars of the NBA

When the New York Knicks' record was in a downturn, their most threatening opponent had no problems.

The Golden State Warriors got better and better after the start. After defeating the Knicks, they won consecutively. Up to this point, they had not lost a game.

The dozen or so consecutive wins at the beginning undoubtedly shocked many teams. Although the Warriors had already achieved a record of 73 wins, this team is still relatively unfamiliar to everyone.

No one knows whether LeBron James can successfully integrate with the Warriors.

Now that they have won more than ten consecutive games, other teams have fewer and fewer doubts about the Warriors.

the reason is simple.

If LeBron really can't create chemistry with the Warriors, then I'm afraid there won't be more than ten consecutive victories.

Many people thought that LeBron and Draymond Green couldn't deal with each other. If they stayed on the same team, there would be friction over time.

But they still underestimated LeBron's abilities, especially his emotional intelligence.

Soon after joining the Warriors, some media reported that LeBron and Green were doing business and investing together in private. Although the business scale was not large, the current cooperation was quite pleasant.

Precisely because LeBron brought Green to work together on business, Green's attitude towards LeBron is now too good. Not only does he always cooperate with LeBron on the court and provide him with various covers, but off the court, Green always praises LeBron in front of the media.

"That's right! He is my brother and I enjoy getting along with him... As we all know, he is the number one in the league... With such a person by our side, how could we lose? Where’s the ball?”

Green seemed to have changed like a normal person. When he said this in front of the media, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat. People who don't know may think that the two have never had any grudges.

When a reporter asked who is better, LeBron or Curry, Green said without hesitation, "LeBron is the best active No. 1 in my mind, and Steph is the best active No. in my opinion." No. , they are all very strong, but if I had to choose one, I would choose LeBron..."

"I didn't understand before and was always against this guy, but now I realize that this guy is really great, he is very smart and very powerful, not only in basketball, but also in many other aspects... ..."

Green's instant transformation surprised many fans.

Especially fans who like Curry are obviously extremely confused by Green's stance. Therefore, various comments about him from the outside world also began to appear.

"It turns out that Draymond is very cunning! He is the most realistic and will follow whoever is more valuable..."

"Has he forgotten that he is from the Warriors? Without Stephen, how could Draymond have achieved the results he has today? This guy has absolutely no shame..."

"I am not surprised that he would say this. I have long said that this guy is only interested in profit. Now he can pursue LeBron for profit. Once he cannot benefit from LeBron in the future, he will criticize LeBron... ..”

"He treats Stephen the same way. The so-called protection is just because Stephen is the core of the team. If one day Stephen is no longer there, guess what kind of face this guy will have..."

Although Green has been criticized by fans in various ways, the Warriors' record is really disappointing. After enough wins, their coordination becomes better and better.

The only problem that exists is the distribution of ball rights between LeBron and Curry.

Fortunately, both of them are very smart, and they know when to give up some of the ball. Therefore, with the cooperation between the two parties, the Warriors have not had any troublesome internal problems at least for the time being.

In addition to the Warriors, the Brooklyn Nets in the East are also performing better and better. The team's three giants are working together more and more tacitly. When there are no major problems with the distribution of ball rights, the three giants have shown their strong team fighting capabilities.

All the teams in the Eastern Conference have been beaten to death by them. Except for the super strong teams like the Knicks who have not yet played against them, no other team in the Eastern Conference is spared, even Milwaukee led by Antetokounmpo Giannis. The Bucks, after facing the Nets, still had to lose and leave.

As a result, the Brooklyn Nets' record has risen to first place in the Eastern Conference, while the Milwaukee Bucks have dropped to second place.

The arrival of Damian Lillard brought them more hope, but Lillard did not make the Bucks' results show immediate results in a short period of time. Therefore, they were still in the process of running in and could only try their best. Strive to win more games.

It was also at this stage that there was finally news from the Los Angeles Lakers.

They spent a lot of money negotiating with the Miami Heat, and after several rounds of negotiations, they finally got Jimmy Butler in their hands.

Perhaps it was to excite the fans, or perhaps it was to deliberately disgust LeBron.

After the Lakers acquired Butler, they held a special press conference. Owner Jenny Buss even attended the press conference and directly stated at the press conference that Butler was their future.

Not only that, the locker previously reserved for LeBron by the Lakers was also replaced, and the best position was given to Butler. The Lakers even banned fans wearing the No. 23 jersey from entering the Staples Center.

After the league ushered in such a turbulent situation, the pursuit of the Eastern and Western Conference finals became increasingly exciting.

The Knicks, whose record dropped, welcomed Zhao Feiyang's comeback and also ushered in a city derby.

Barclays Center Arena.

This is the home court of the Nets.

The Knicks came here to challenge on the road.

Although the distance between the two arenas is not too far, the two sides do not communicate that much on weekdays. New York is a big city. There are many fans here. There are many old fans who like the Knicks, but there are also many fans who like the Nets.

Especially since they moved to Brooklyn, the Nets' attendance has continued to soar. Now that they have hired the Big Three, the Nets' games are even more packed out.

"Zhao!"

"Zach!"

"Adrian!"

When the Knicks entered the stadium, the fans on both sides of the stands were extremely excited. They did not regard this as the Knicks' away game at all, and started cheering for core players such as Zhao Feiyang.

Similarly, when the Nets played, the Big Three received a lot of applause.

"Kairi!"

"Kevin!"

"James!"

The live game is about to start, and the starting players of both sides take to the court.

Zhao Feiyang first said hello to James Harden. Among these people, his relationship with Harden is much better than the other two.

Harden's character is also more familiar than the other two, so the exchanges between them are quite interesting.

When he greeted Durant, Du Xiaoshuai's slightly dull personality became apparent at this time. His reaction was neither that enthusiastic nor that cold. In short, he looked about the same as usual.

"Hey, Zhao, long time no see."

The last person to come up and say hello was Owen.

Owen and Zhao Feiyang are old acquaintances. The two have competed before, but Owen was always at a disadvantage in those times.

Now that Zhao Feiyang has led the team to two consecutive championships, his status in the league has long surpassed Irving.

However, this did not affect Irving's state at all. He still started chatting with Zhao Feiyang confidently.

"Man, your recent record doesn't look good...so are you confident in leading the team to win the game today?"

Zhao Feiyang chuckled.

"Of course. Why not?"

"Kyrie, you can't win the game with just a group of stars! It takes a lot to win the championship. The Nets are just taking the first step..."

Of course Irving couldn't hear such words, and quickly interrupted Zhao Feiyang, "Thank you for your advice! But I never listen to what others say. For me and the Nets, this season is destined to be great... ....”

"Man, let's wait until we meet in the Eastern Conference Finals! Of course, that's only if you lead the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals..."

beep.

The timer sounds, and both sides go to their positions to prepare for the jump ball.

Snapped.

The referee threw the ball out, and Andre Drummond took the lead to slap the ball out. The basketball fell out, and it was Zach LaVine who got the ball.

LaVine advanced with the ball, but just after halftime, he encountered interference from Irving.

LaVine did not panic and continued to organize the team's offense with the basketball. Zhao Feiyang got rid of Harden who was marking him and found an opportunity from the wing position.

Snapped.

LaVine gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang didn't hesitate at all when he got the ball. Facing Harden, he raised the basketball and made a shooting motion. Harden believed it was true, but Zhao Feiyang made a false shot, shook him away, took the ball and accelerated towards the basket.

Nets center Jarrett Allen stepped up under the basket. Zhao Feiyang did not rush to take action, but deliberately waited for the opponent to jump in front of him before throwing the ball.

The basketball fell to the left side of the basket. DeAndre Jordan, who was guarding there, seized the opportunity and jumped high, took the basketball and dunked the ball into the basket.

boom.

The ball went in.

The whole audience exclaimed.

Although this is the home court of the Nets, a considerable number of New York fans stood up and screamed for Zhao Feiyang.

It was the Nets' turn to fight back.

Irving advanced with the ball, and LaVine went up to guard one-on-one.

The two met each other, and Irving began to dribble. At the top of the arc, he suddenly changed direction and passed LaVine. After getting rid of LaVine, Irving accelerated toward the two zones.

DeAndre Jordan came up inside to fill in. Irving wanted to force the shot, but after realizing that the score might not be high, he chose to give the ball to Kevin Durant on the wing.

Durant took the ball and hit a three-pointer decisively.

Although Adrian almost rushed to defend against him, Durant still successfully threw the three-pointer into the basket.
