The equipment manager turned pale: "Wait, how is Roger going to deal with Matt?"
"Of course, he'll experience it in the training match. Everyone's going to sweat a lot today, so get the shower stuff ready!"
After the usual training, the Warriors conducted their team competition as usual.
Matt Barnes eagerly hoped that Nick Van Exel or Derek Anderson would be on different teams from him.
This way, he could match up against them and prove he could do better than them.
But he was disappointed.
Assistant coach Jeff Hornacek announced the team assignment for the scrimmage, and the two new recruits were on Matt Barnes' team.
Their opponents were the full starting lineup of the Warriors.
It seemed today's scrimmage emphasized tactical drills because the difference in strength between the teams was significant, making the outcome almost certain.
