873: Thankfully, My Hair Is Still Here

It was clear that this Golden State Warriors team was vastly different from last season's.

Although the game had yet to begin, the Warriors already gave off an entirely different feeling.

Whether it was the high-spirited Stephen Curry or Sean Livingston, who had experienced tremendous highs and lows at such a young age.

From the starters to the bench, confidence radiated from every Warriors player's face.

The confidence of the strong!

Green walked at the very back of the group. From afar, that round-headed guy stared at Link and smiled disdainfully.

After confirming that Link was looking at him too, Green made a throat-slitting gesture at last season's individual-awards grand slam winner.

Even LeBron James probably would not have provoked Link like that.

In truth, Draymond Green's arrogant personality had not emerged overnight, nor had he become full of himself only after entering the starting lineup this year.

Back when he was still unknown, he had already clashed with top-tier superstars.

In his second year, Green had dared to trade trash talk with the notoriously foul-mouthed Garnett.

One had to know that most rookies tried their best to avoid verbal confrontations with a chatterbox like Garnett.

Those with weaker mental fortitude might genuinely be reduced to tears by Garnett's trash talk.

But Green was not afraid. Not only did he not shrink from the moment, he struck back hard, enraging Garnett with trash talk to the point that he nearly spat blood.

It was just that Green had no real fame back then, so the incident had received little coverage.

But at the very least, it proved that Green had never been a "good kid." It was hardly surprising that he would provoke Link.

"That guy is seriously irritating, but you don't need to get into it with him today."
