I fell in love with Toutiao and became the GOAT.

The fixed-point shooting rule made Lin Bei's defense effortless, and his formidable height and wingspan made every shot Curry struggle.

Curry shot 10 balls very quickly.

The sound of missed shots dominated, and in the end, Curry only made 3 of those 10 shots.

Lin Bei blocked the angle of most of his attacks.

Curry looked slightly annoyed: "With this kind of defense, it's impossible to shoot."

Lin Bei: "Who said we can't shoot? You defend, I'll shoot."

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson and Mike Malone were already in position, as was Bob Myers.

Lin Bei stood in the corner, and even if Curry didn't want to, he had no choice but to adopt a defensive stance.

Lin Bei leaped high as he made his first shot from the bottom corner.

Curry's interference was also all-out effort, his right arm stretched straight out, blocking Lin Bei's eyes.

With a loud crash!

The first shot from the corner missed, and the second shot had the same result.

Despite missing both shots, Lin Bei remained calm and composed.

He sprinted to the right side of the arc, gaining a step ahead, but Curry's defense was a step too slow.

Lin Bei's height and wingspan advantage helped him get past Curry's interference, and with a whoosh!

It's in!

This was Lin Bei's first goal in the three-point battle.

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson squinted.

During yesterday's trial, Lin Bei actually had some doubts about his three-point shooting.

After all, in the five-minute trial, Lin Bei only made one wide-open three-pointer, and missed the only three-pointer he made while facing the defense.

After that practice game, Mark Jackson suggested that Lin Bei should play center, only mentioning Lin Bei's physical talent and rebounding, without mentioning Lin Bei's three-point shooting.

Now, the doubts have been dispelled.

Still on the right side of the arc, Lin Bei's second shot was met with another strong interference from Curry, who had adjusted his position.

Clang!

But in the same process, he rushed to the top of the arc, took a quick shot, and swished it in.

Curry was in a hurry; they were just one shot away from tying the game. At the second contest at the top of the arc, he didn't go all out, saving some energy for the next shot.

As a result, Lin Bei's shot went past his defense.

With a whoosh...

It's a tie!

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Curry's defensive intensity in those two plays was a bit lacking, but the defensive intensity in a normal game wouldn't be much different.

Lin Bei's three three-pointers were quite impressive.

On the court, Curry knew that the game was over.

But he still put in a lot of effort in the defense on the left side of the arc.

Even with his best efforts, Lin Bei couldn't stop Lin Bei from sinking his fourth three-pointer.

In the end, Lin Bei made 4 out of 10 three-pointers.

A 4-for-10 three-point shooting percentage under pressure is consistent with Steve Novak's three-point shooting style, which is Lin Bei's normal level.

When he missed his last shot, the spectators on the sidelines clapped.

Curry's face darkened; he couldn't understand why these people were clapping.

Does such a disastrous three-point shooting contest really deserve applause?

Just as he was about to leave the stadium, Lin Bei called out to him.

"Wait a minute, Stephen..."

Curry stopped in his tracks, puzzled, only to see Lin Bei pulling him aside to ask Mike Malone, "Is there a scoreboard?"

Scoreboard?

Curry probably guessed what Lin Bei was planning to do. He tried to escape, but Lin Bei grabbed him.

Ma Long found two scoreboards for Lin Bei. Lin Bei first picked out the number "4" and then picked out the number "3".

While shoving it into Curry's hand, he warned, "Stop struggling, Stephen. You have to accept the consequences."

Curry gritted his teeth: "Of course."

He stopped struggling, and Lin Bei asked Ma Long for help: "Coach Ma Long, do you have a cell phone? Can you take a picture for me?"

Malone couldn't hold back any longer. He nodded, took out his phone, and snapped a picture of Lin Bei, who was grinning, and Curry, who looked completely unwilling.

Lin Bei: "Send it to me later, Coach Ma Long."

Mike Malone replied "OK" without asking Lin Bei why he wanted the photo.

Curry guessed it, but he didn't object; he was willing to accept the consequences of his bet.

……

Bob Myers waited on the sidelines until Lin Bei finished his work before calling him over.

"Pick your jersey number, Lin."

Lin Bei had already thought about the jersey number.

"Number 7, I guess."

"Number 7? Is the number '7' a lucky number for you Asians?"

Bob Myers was curious because Jeremy Lin, who was recently laid off, also wore a size 7.

Lin Bei smiled slightly: "No, that's not it. I mainly want to save some money for the fans and teams in the Bay Area."

Miles was stunned for a moment before he realized that Lin Bei meant that if he chose number 7, Jeremy Lin's jersey could be taken back and reused.

Anyway, the name printed on the back of the jersey is "Lin".

Miles: "There's no need to be so frugal."

Lin Bei: "It's okay, number 7 is fine, I like this number."

After choosing his jersey number, Lin Bei followed Miles to pick up a jersey and training clothes.

More than ten minutes later, he returned to the training ground and officially joined the Warriors' daily training.

The training started with a series of shuttle runs. Lin Bei was already out of breath after running for more than ten minutes, but this training exercise lasted for a full half hour.

Half an hour later, Mark Jackson said, "We can rest now."

He felt as if he had been granted a pardon and stopped, supporting himself on his knees.

He turned to look at his teammates, and they were all in similar situations to him.

"Is the intensity this high right from the start?"

Curry nodded in agreement: "Mark emphasizes defensive rotation, so shuttle runs are his most important training exercise, and he practices them three or four times a day."

Lin Bei understood. He looked down at his long legs and realized that he had a significant advantage in that regard.

During the break, Nate Robinson, nicknamed "Little Potato," also came over.

"Welcome to the Golden State Warriors, my dear Thief."

Although Lin Bei had no idea when he had evolved into Little Potato's best friend.

But having more friends means having more options, so he gave Little Potato a big hug and thanked him.

While the two were both present, Lin Bei asked, "By the way, you two are so kind, could you tell me where you live?"

Curry, who was just looking gloomy after losing the three-pointer battle, didn't dwell on why he had suddenly become Lin Bei's good friend.

He guessed Lin Bei's intention: "You're looking for a place to stay?"

Lin Bei nodded, and Curry continued, "Do you want to buy a house or rent?"

"I can't afford to buy a place; I'd prefer to rent."

The contract was signed yesterday, and today the Warriors' first salary payment has been deposited into Lin Bei's account.

It was a little over $4, before taxes were deducted and Dan Fagan received his share.

In the US, taxes are deducted and paid in a unified manner during the tax season of the following year. Lin Bei can take this $4 for now.

Adding the more than 2 US dollars left by his predecessor, Lin Bei has less than 7 US dollars in total.

I definitely can't afford to buy a house, so I can only rent one for now.

Curry then shook his head: "Then you should ask Nate. I only have houses for sale, not for rent."

Little Potato raised his hand: "You've come to the right person. My area is full of upscale apartments listed for rent, on Eighth Avenue, about a ten-minute drive from here."

If you can accept this, come with me after training today...

Lin Bei: "Of course I can accept it, Nate, you're such a good friend!"

Mark Jackson wanted to cultivate a defensive culture for the Warriors, so the Warriors' daily training intensity was very high.

After a few minutes of rest, training resumed.

Lin Bei was at most panting heavily; he was definitely fine with this level of intensity.

But many players found it difficult to adapt to this Warriors team, which was used to being lazy.

In the afternoon, during the fourth shuttle run of the day's training, after running for about ten minutes, Andris Biedrins collapsed, clutching his ankle.

Although this means that Lin Bei's chances of playing have greatly increased.

But seeing Biedrins being carried out with a pained expression, Lin Bei still couldn't bear it.

"Injuries and illnesses..."
