December 4, Rose Garden.

This game, which has been anticipated for more than half a month, will finally start in the Rose Garden.

Last season's Western Conference Finals didn't decide the winner until the tiebreaker.

The reunion between Curry and Paul.

Thompson returns to the Rose Garden for the first time.

Wayne faced Green for the first time

All of these are the highlights of this game.

Seeing a lot of publicity about himself and Green on TV and on the Internet, Wayne was actually a little unhappy.

The day before the game started, another reporter asked him a question related to Green.

This time, Wayne did not listen patiently, but directly interrupted the reporter.

"Wait, wait, are you serious? How long has it been? It's been half a month, right?

For half a month, you guys have been talking to me about Draymond Green?

Okay, then I will talk to you today.

The only honor Green has received in his career so far is that he was selected to the All-Defensive First Team last season.

Well, this is an amazing achievement, but I won the Best Defensive Team seven times and I also won the Best Defensive Player four times.

Damn Draymond Green, he's not even an All-Star!

Why should I care what such a person says?

Would Michael Jordan in the 1990s care about an unknown kid?"

Wayne feels that the entire Internet is comparing himself with Green, which has really lowered his level.

After speaking, Wayne turned around and left. No one dared to pull him up.

An hour later, the Golden State Warriors plane arrived at Portland International Airport.

As soon as Green got off the plane, reporters gathered around him and conveyed to Green exactly what Wayne had said before.

Green smiled jokingly: "You think highly of yourself, do you think I just want to be discussed with an old man? If a person only talks to you about his past, he is probably old.

Wayne, he can't even handle Nowitzki, what else can he say?

How many points did Dirk score against him a few days ago?

Hahahaha, if Dirk and Wayne play a few more games, maybe they can get another maximum salary."

Green showed no weakness and choked back very forcefully.

Before the game even started, the verbal sparring between Wayne and Green was very exciting.

Pao'er could also feel the gunpowder smell of this game. He smelled the strong smell of gunpowder smoke as soon as he got off the plane.

To be honest, Paul also wants to win very much. Apart from James' Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers may be the opponent Paul wants to win the most.

Last season's Western Conference Finals didn't decide the winner until the tiebreaker. It's not an exaggeration to say that the two teams were fierce rivals at this time.

Coupled with the confusion between Wayne and Green, the two sides are even more hostile.

However, Paul's relationship with Wayne meant that he would not allow this trend to continue.

Paul knows Green well.

That guy plays a lot of tricks and talks trash very hard.

Paul had never restrained him, but today, when everyone got on the bus, Paoer took the initiative to come to Green and chatted with him.

"Chasing the goal, are you ready to face the strongest opponent in the West?"

"I prepared it half a month ago, Po." Green nodded with a smile.

"Well, I know, we have to win the next game. But I have to remind you not to overdo it, understand?

You can trash talk Wayne, you can use tricks on him, but don't intentionally hurt him.

Fair play, OK?”

Green was stunned for a moment, but considering his position as the boss of Pao'er, he still nodded.

Goute on the side frowned when he saw Pao'er and Green muttering something.

Goute joined the Warriors this summer. In fact, Pao'er doesn't like Goute either, but there is no way. Because Jordan left this summer, the Warriors must find another blue-collar big man if they want to continue to compete for the championship.

The reason why Jordan left was naturally because of money.

The Warriors already have Paul and Thompson with two maximum salaries, and Thompson still has 30% of the maximum salary.

Therefore, the Warriors did not give Jordan the max contract he wanted.

It's not that Jordan is not strong, nor is it that the Warriors owner is reluctant to spend money.

Mainly because under Cole's system, blue-collar centers like Jordan don't have a high tactical status.

After all, Cole's Warriors rely on death to conquer the world. Even Jordan's playing time is estimated to be only about 20 minutes.

There must be a blue-collar center, but if you want to sign a blue-collar center with a maximum salary, it would be too wasteful for the Warriors.

Have you ever seen a team sign a player to a maximum salary contract, but only let him play about 20 minutes per game?

I am afraid of having money: Haha, your situation is too small. I may not be able to play 20 minutes in a season, but I still get the maximum salary~

Ever since, Jordan left the second stop of his career.

Originally, he was going to join the Mavericks, and he had even reached a four-year, 80 million verbal agreement with Cuban.

But then Rivers led the recruiting team of Lillard and Griffin to fight for love.

Rivers, Lillard and Griffin first went directly to Jordan's house and then refused to let anyone in, not even Jordan's manager Feigen.

Finally, under the pressure of the Clippers, Jordan signed with the Clippers. After the Huo Zhongcheng incident that year, Qiao Shouxin was created.

All your top centers have dark hearts.

Rivers's ambush on Cuban really caught the Mavericks off guard.

In short, after losing Joe Shouxin, the Warriors are in urgent need of a blue-collar center.

Although the Warriors mainly focus on the Death Five, blue-collar workers still have to have this stuff.

Although you don’t need to use it all the time, you need someone when you need to use it.

Therefore, although Paul did not like Bogut, he was indeed the best blue-collar center on the free agent market at that time.

For the sake of the overall situation, Pao'er agreed to the plan to introduce Goute.

Dogt just landed in Auckland.

The bus arrived at the hotel and everyone returned to their rooms after dinner.

Green just sat on the bed and was about to check his phone to see if Wayne continued to criticize him on social media.

But soon there was a knock on the door of his room.

"Chasing the door, it's me, Andrew the dog."

Hearing that it was Goute, Green hurriedly opened the door.

Green admires Goute, the Australian champion, very much.

Of course, I'm not appreciating his ability to play Liu Bei.

If Bogut dares Liu Bip, Green will have to give in.

When he first became the No. 1 pick in an exclusive interview, Dogt once said: "For now, Duncan is definitely better than me, but one day I can surpass him, and I can also achieve what he has achieved in the NBA."

He said it without blushing and his heart skipped a beat, just like it was true.

Milwaukee fans were ecstatic at the time. As soon as the No. 1 pick came up, they faced Biao Dengsu confidently. They had picked a treasure!

But it turns out that Goute's love for Biao Duncan has nothing to do with strength, it's just that he simply doesn't want Bilian.

Green admires Bogut, mainly because of Bogut's attitude on the defensive end, which suits Green very well.

In Wayne's previous life, when Dog retired, Green even sent an affectionate confession on Twitter:

"He showed me how to defend in the post and I'll never forget that. From day one when I got to Golden State, he was teaching me different things that you don't get to do in college.

Things I learned. Without Bogut’s guidance, my defensive level would probably be half of what it is now.”

This shows how good the relationship between Green and Gout is.

After Goute came in, he found a stool and sat down, then looked at Green seriously.

"Zhui Men, Pao'er should have told you something related to Wayne today, right?"

"Well, I understand. After all, he and Wayne were very good teammates." Green nodded. He had nothing to hide from this old man whom he admired.

"So, what you're saying is that you're not really going to end things peacefully with Wayne, are you?" Dogt probed cautiously.

"Me and you, we can work together to take down Wayne. I think that in order to win, don't worry about so many things. Of course, I am not questioning Chris, he is a good leader.
