"Well, I'll meet him!" Li Du nodded, if Livingston is really as Nelson Sr. said, it will be very helpful to the Warriors.

After last season's consolidation, the Warriors' strengths and weaknesses have been exposed. Their advantage is dominant inside and outside with Li Du and Yao Ming, plus Curry is a great threat outside the three-point line, Curry and Li Du's long-range shooting ability can make the opponent never be able to play joint defense, and can only choose the strategy of man-to-man and pick-and-roll substitution.

This allows the Warriors to stretch up their offensive space when attacking, which is conducive to their open cuts, reverse runs, and easier access to shooting space than other teams.

But the shortcomings of the Warriors are equally obvious, that is, except for Li Du, Yao Ming and Curry, the others are not a big threat, and it can even be said that there is no threat! Because of this, the Warriors often have a situation where the main lineup widens the point difference, but the opponent closes the score in the rotation lineup.

Especially when facing the Celtics in the finals, the Warriors had a situation where Li Du was caught by three people. On the one hand, this shows that Li Du is strong, and the Celtics have to use three people to limit him, and on the other hand, it also shows that the Warriors have very few people available, except for Li Du and Yao Ming, other people are not enough threats.

Nelson Sr.'s idea is to want everyone on the team to be able to handle the ball and have a certain ability to dominate the ball. Livingston, a tall point guard with consistent mid-range shooting, is undoubtedly a very important part of Nelson's plan.

After Li Du agreed to Nelson Sr., the team began to seek to make contact with Livingston. In fact, seeking is just a better word, Livingston is barely playing now, and he is already happy to have a team willing to contact him.

With both parties agreeing, Livingston and the Warriors agreed to fly to Oakland two days later to meet with Li Du at Oracle Arena.

When it was time to meet, Li Du maintained the warmth and friendliness of the Chinese towards the guests, and he came to the training hall of the Oracle Arena early to wait for Livingston with Nelson Sr.

Livingston is a very punctual person, or rather he takes the meeting very seriously, and he entered the training gym five minutes before the agreed time. Li Du was already sitting on the pitch waiting for him, and as soon as Livingston came in, he saw the former talent.

After a major injury, Livingston's face also looked a little vicissitudes, he was tall and thin, with a beard that surrounded his chin and lips, and it seemed that he had also been carefully groomed, adding a lot of vicissitudes and stability to him.

Li Du and Old Nelson greeted him, first shook hands with Livingston, and then Old Nelson introduced him to him: "Sean, this is ......"

As soon as the elder Nelson was about to introduce Li Du, Livingston warmly shook hands with Li Du and said: "I know him, Li Du, your name is like the sun hanging in the sky, inspiring me day and night, thank you for taking the time to meet me." ”

Livingston's attitude made Li Du feel very good about him, and he happily responded: "Sean, I am touched by your story, I hope we can play together!" ”

Li Du said this with a lot of leeway, he just wanted to play with Livingston, good feelings are good feelings, if Livingston does not have the skills that the Warriors need, he will not be able to enter the Warriors team either.

Next, under the trainer's test, Nelson Sr. did a comprehensive fitness analysis for Livingston. As a result, as previously obtained, after a major knee injury to his left leg, Livingston's physical fitness has deteriorated severely, not to mention that compared to Li Du, even compared to Curry, it is at least two levels worse.

Holding the physical test report, Old Nelson glanced at it slightly, and then handed it to Li Du, who after reading it, said to Livingston: "Sean, it seems that that injury has had a great impact on you." Truth be told, it's a miracle that you're standing on the pitch right now! ”

Livingston's words reached Livingston's heart, and he let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, God played a big joke on me, and when I was in high spirits, he almost sent me to hell." ”

Seeing Livingston's lonely expression, Li Du smiled slightly and continued to say to him: "If we only look at your physical test report, there is no need to invite you to come here in person, Sean, can you meet me one-on-one?" I want to see your skills different from everyone else! ”

Livingston of course understood this, so he nodded, and at the same time he also understood that Li Du was known for his desperate defense in the league at the beginning, and his offense must make Li Du feel difficult to defend, otherwise he may not have this chance!

After getting ready, Livingston attacked, Li Du defended, and the two sides began to play one-on-one. As a tall guard, the back-to-back singles technique is one of Livingston's tricks, and he also knows that if he breaks through head-on, let alone himself, even Kobe Bryant and others may not be able to break through the Li Du who is known as the demon in front of him.

Livingston leaned on Li Du with his back, not relying on strength, but relying on his frequently changing footsteps and moving angles, pushing Li Du to the inside line little by little.

Li Du was to see Livingston's offensive skills, so he didn't defend with all his might, and followed Li Wensidu to retreat inside. Seeing that it was almost over, Livingston pushed Li Du slightly with his back, and then turned around and pulled it up to shoot.

"So easy?" Li Du had some doubts in his heart, but there was no hesitation in his movements, he jumped up after Livingston, Livingston's back shot with a backward lean, his body was getting farther and farther away from Li Du, and just before Li Du's hand was about to touch the basketball in his hand, Livingston waved his right hand, and the basketball crossed a high arc and fell into the basket.

"What a turn!" After landing, Li Du praised Livingston loudly, although he didn't defend with all his strength just now, but it is difficult for ordinary players to score in his hands, Livingston is good at using height and footwork, and the stability of the backward jumper is very good, which makes Li Du very happy.

In the next few consecutive shots, Livingston was able to make full use of his advantages, cleverly avoiding the head-on confrontation with Li Du, so as to shoot and score, and in the case of interference, his mid-range shooting rate could reach 53%, which surprised Li Du.

After a training game, Li Du glanced at Old Nelson, saw Old Nelson nodded, so he reached out and shook Livingston's hand, "Sean, on behalf of the Warriors, I sincerely invite you to join!" Hopefully we can fight together! ”
