NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

The Clippers vs. Thunder regular season opener.

Zhou Yi has already received arrangements from old Dunleavy and will be the first player to start the game.

The players from both sides are already warming up on the field, each occupying one half of the field.

As Zhou Yi was shooting from half-court, he could sense the tall, thin figure in the other half constantly glancing at him.

In Zhouyi's memory, Durant in the 09-10 season can be simply described as "a sword being drawn from its sheath."

After two seasons of struggling with missed shots, this talent will finally shine this season.

With an average of 30.1 points per game, he surpassed LeBron James to become the youngest scoring champion.

From this point on, the struggling Thunder will experience their first peak.

This was Zhou Yi's first time facing such a high-scoring opponent, especially in a nationally televised opening game, and he felt a bit nervous.

But more than anything, it was the desire to compete and the fighting spirit to win that came after the suspension.

He wasn't afraid of Durant. In the summer before the season started, Zhou Yi made up for his weaknesses in ball handling and stamina.

This match is proof of the hard work and training during the summer.

Meanwhile, Durant, watching Zhou Yi from the other half of the court, would occasionally furrow his brows.

This annoying prodigy has not only surpassed himself in Nike shoe contracts.

They also received preferential treatment from the league, having more nationally televised matches.

This was a blatant disrespect to Durant, a sensitive young man.

Looking at the figure wearing the number eight jersey, Durant decided to personally defeat Zhou Yi and tear off the hypocritical veil of this prodigy.

......

With the match time approaching, both teams' center forwards had already taken their positions in the center circle.

Commentator Jeff Van Gundy cleared his throat, and his voice was broadcast across the United States to all the screens watching the game.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups for the Clippers and Thunder in this season opener."

"The Thunder's new team fielded a young starting lineup."

Point Guard: Russell Westbrook

Shooting Guard: Sabo Sefolosha

Small Forward: Kevin Durant

Power Forward: Jeff Green

Center: Nenad Krstic

Clippers starting lineup.

Point Guard: Baron Davis

Shooting Guard: Eric Gordon

Small Forward: Zhou Yi

Power Forward: Marcus Camby

Center: Chris Kaman

After the starting lineups for both sides were introduced, commentator Mark Jackson immediately took over the conversation.

"This is a matchup that fans have been looking forward to. Before the start of the new season, the two small forwards, Durant and Zhou, had already started a war of words online."

"This is also Zhou Yi's first regular season game as the top scorer of 09. Let's wait and see who will have the last laugh."

Game start.

The referee had already blown the whistle for the jump ball, and the basketball was tipped into Westbrook's hands by the Thunder's center.

After a month of weight loss, Baron Davis has at least lost some weight.

Although his defensive footwork still seemed sluggish, he managed to stop Westbrook from slamming the ball at the start of the game.

The Thunder failed to get into their preferred fast-paced rhythm and were pulled into a half-court game from the start.

Zhou Yi was defending Durant, standing inside the three-point line.

Facing Zhou Yi, Durant waved his hand, asking Westbrook for the ball.

As the team's leader, Durant couldn't wait to get the ball and take down Zhou Yi.

However, at the start of the game, Baron Davis's subtle pulling made Westbrook a little flustered.

He didn't notice Durant's waving hand and chose to drive straight through the bearded man's defense into the Clippers' paint.

Clippers' starting center Chris Kaman is a well-known short-handed player in the NBA, with a height of 2.13 meters and a wingspan of only 2.11 meters.

Faced with the ferocious Westbrook, Kaman could only try his best to disrupt him.

Westbrook, facing Kaman's interference, threw the ball, but a figure suddenly appeared from the side and slapped the basketball down.

It was Marcus Camby, the former Defensive Player of the Year.

Faced with this excellent opportunity to block a shot, Camby, who values ​​block statistics, let go of his matchup Jeff Green and seized the chance.

Baron Davis caught the basketball that was swatted away and protected it.

Seeing Westbrook's agitated state, Durant bit his lip tightly, and ultimately, the young Durant didn't say anything.

The Clippers gained possession of the ball.

Baron Davis controlled the ball and advanced it to the frontcourt, trying to regain his pride against the young Westbrook.

This 1999 second overall pick is a well-known tank guard in the NBA, who once made Dwyane Wade cry during his rookie season.

His strong physique and accumulated fat made him a bulldozer as he pushed Westbrook to the free-throw line.

However, the lack of training during the summer caused Davis's aim to go astray, and the basketball slammed against the rim with a thud.

"Go for the rebound!"

The Thunder's paint area immediately became a chaotic mess.

Jeff Green, one of the original Thunder trio, positioned himself and stretched out his arm to try and grab the rebound.

The basketball was just centimeters away from falling into Jeff Green's hands, but a pair of large, yellow-skinned hands reached out from behind him and snatched the ball away in mid-air.

"Zhou, crucial offensive rebounds, he was the Wildcats' wing rebounding machine in the NCAA."

As Van Gundy's voice rang out from the commentary booth, a long-awaited round of applause erupted from the sparse Clippers fans on the sidelines.

Josh Green's rebounding skills have been trained to the maximum level by Zhou Yi, and now his prediction of the landing point and timing of rebounds has improved by more than one level.

After Zhou Yi removed the backboard from behind Jeff Green's head, Durant immediately closed in on him.

That damn wonderkid is like a cunning eel; Durant slipped away without warning.

The basketball was passed out by Zhou Yi, but with the Clippers' terrible start to the season, it seemed like no one wanted to attack.

They were afraid of missing the shot, and they were afraid of being criticized by fans and the media after losing the game.

The basketball was eventually passed back to Zhou Yi at the three-point line.

Seeing Zhou Yi with the ball, Durant closed in.

In this game, Durant displayed a defensive intensity he hadn't shown before.

"The first showdown between Zhou and Kevin, the duel between the two players is about to begin."

Jeff Van Gundy's voice was broadcast across the United States via ESPN's satellite signal.

At Davidson College, veteran coach McGillop watched this scene nervously in front of the television.

During a break in her filming in New York, Daddario climbed into her trailer to watch the game, praying that God would bless her lover.

In the stands, a middle-aged man named Mike Malone was also staring intently at the field.

As an assistant coach for the Cavaliers, he recently received some rumors that the notoriously bottom-ranked NBA team is going to change its head coach.

The Clippers' dilapidated locker room was suffocating, and no one dared to apply for a job there.

But Malone, eager for an opportunity, wanted to give it a try.

Before applying, he wanted to see what the Clippers' most important future was really like.

Is it worth it for him to give up everything he has now to take this gamble?

On the court, Durant stretched out his arm as much as possible to touch Zhou Yi.

Before the game, Durant studied this amazing kid. He is an accurate mid-range shooter and a cutter who can seize opportunities to attack the rim.

However, he is not a good ball-handler, and Curry is more responsible for ball-handling for the Wildcats.

The basketball was protected in Zhou Yi's large hands, and he turned to face Durant.

Durant's long arms were constantly interfering, and he was also spewing trash talk.

"Hey Zhou, you can't get past me. There's no Curry here, no one to handle the ball for you."

"I will defeat you with my own hands, Zhou."
