Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 677 - 233: When the Defending Champion Embarks on the Dynasty Journey_2
Additionally, no matter where he goes, Brown, who always talks about "Qin Yue is the best in history," has officially published his first biography, "Kwame Brown: Why the Messiah is Great."
Yes.
Even if it sounds a bit outrageous.
But Brown’s biography, rather than writing about himself, is more like bragging about Qin Yue.
Especially after signing with Anta this summer, Brown found a whole new track.
"I found that in the hearts of Chinese fans, I’m actually the second center of my generation after ’Big Yao’!" Brown cheerfully said over the phone to Qin Yue.
Qin Yue chuckled, "Does that prove anything?"
Brown analyzed for Qin Yue, "Chinese basketball has far more basketball players than in the United States. So, in my opinion, the recognition from Chinese fans is much more valuable than from American fans. Besides, from Indianapolis in 2002 to now, how many years has it been since American basketball won a real world championship?"
After pausing, Brown added, "So, what do Americans know about basketball?"
Through this year’s China tour, Brown has found a track that can help him take a shortcut to success.
Meanwhile, Wallace, who returned to his hometown of Childsberg for a relaxing vacation, was busy repairing a car for his neighbor.
As an outstanding basketball player, don’t ask why Wallace carries a wrench with him.
"Gerald, can you guys achieve a three-peat this new season?"
While Wallace was fixing the car, the neighbor asked curiously.
Hearing this, Wallace just smiled slightly.
"Next time I fix your car, remember to call me Dynasty Player Gerald."
Time quickly moved to September of that year.
With the team’s preseason training camp approaching, Old Hill, who was about to turn 39, would ask himself almost every day if he still had fuel in his tank.
And Jack, who once promised his mother that he would get a college degree, after taking time to return to Georgia Institute of Technology and officially completing his studies, also began to look forward to the new season.
In late September, the Warriors’ preseason training camp officially opened.
On the opening day, the return of Big Ben with his iconic afro became the most eye-catching player.
Although Big Ben has always looked down on Brown.
But in interacting with him, Big Ben also realized the importance of self-marketing.
"That guy was right, only with your unique symbol can you make fans always remember you."
And Livingston, who was in and out of the game last year, prayed to God on the opening day, hoping those damn injuries would stay away from him.
Livingston longed to contribute more to this championship team.
After all, in the future dynasty documentary of the Warriors, who wouldn’t want more screen time?
"Matt, I heard you’ve been practicing boxing all summer?" At the preseason training camp, looking at Barnes, Brown asked curiously.
Seeing this, Barnes nodded.
To escort the establishment of the Warriors Dynasty, Barnes has already prepared adequately.
Only, in Little Deng Liwei’s view from the side...
In a brawl, how can fists be more effective than a baseball bat?
And at Oracle Arena, when the team coach Mike Malone stepped into the arena...
Seeing this team that didn’t even need his motivation, as their fighting spirit was already at its peak, Mike Malone immediately picked up a pen and wrote on the board the slogan he had prepared for the Warriors:
——Unmatched Ambition.
With the aim of establishing a dynasty through a three-peat, the Warriors, from the very first day of gathering, exuded a strong aura that they wouldn’t allow anyone to disrupt them.
Interestingly, in the upcoming new season, the league also launched a slogan more in line with the current era:
This-is-why-we-play
The Warriors are undoubtedly the reigning champions standing high above.
But in this era where all the contemporaries, both players and teams, aim to defeat Qin Yue and the Warriors, can the road to defending their title be smooth?
In October, finally allowed by Grover to undergo systematic training, Qin Yue felt from the preseason just how much the Warriors’ competitors wanted to win against them once.
The Warriors lost three of their six preseason games this year.
In preseason games, which are usually mainly for training purposes, opponents always inadvertently increased the intensity of the game when facing the Warriors.
Why?
Because even in preseason, those ambitious teams don’t want to lose to the Warriors.
Even the Hornets, who plan to tank in the new season for the top pick and will soon rename themselves as the Pelicans, showed in their preseason game against the Warriors that they wanted a wrestling match with the defending champions.
Although these teams aimed at tanking are destined not to pose a threat to the Warriors.
But starting from the preseason...
The attitude displayed by various teams when facing the Warriors already proves that no team is willing to willingly accept the Warriors’ dominance.
Moreover, since the Warriors are the team with the highest traffic in the league today, just winning against the Warriors once is like a celebration for other teams, isn’t it?
Both in the past and the present, Scottie Pippen and "Chasing Dreams" Green have expressed similar views.
That is, when facing the Bulls of the past and the Warriors of the present, other teams always seemed to be full of energy, eager to defeat them.
