After the loss to the Lakers, the Warriors returned home to play the Raptors, a must-win game.

Zhou Xuan received a congratulatory call from Liu Yang in Los Angeles, and when he returned to Oakland, Liu Yang took Zheng Bin to the door to eat, and a few yellow jokes popped up during the meal, and the embarrassed Nie Yuyan was red-faced.

"Handsome guy, are you really not going back to China this year? If they go back to us and show their faces, go to a class reunion or something, they're going crazy. Liu Yang said.

"I'm not going back to China anymore, and there are a lot of things to do in the summer, mainly fitness, and practice shooting."

Zhou Xuan had already had a plan. He felt that he was not strong enough, and after playing against Kobe, he found a shortcoming, he had to make himself break through better, and he had to be stronger, and then he had to have a stable shooting touch, but it was not enough to score when there was no one in front of him, and he could still send the ball to the basket under high-pressure defense, that is a superstar.

People's goals are always getting bigger and bigger, it turns out that he feels good as long as he joins the NBA, and now he wants to go one step closer, and becoming an All-Star is not his ultimate goal, he has to work towards MVP. It's naturally good to relax when you go back to China to play with Nie Yuyan in the summer, but after a few months of relaxation, can he still guarantee his state? Find ways to improve in the offseason to reach new heights next season.

Nie Yuyan sighed: "I don't want to go back either, I want to stay in the United States to play." ”

Liu Yang smiled and asked, "It's a good idea, but are your parents willing?" ”

"What do they don't want to do, it's just a phone call for the New Year, busy with business, busy with work, how can they take care of me? I just have to do what they want me to do in the United States. Nie Yuyan snorted.

Zhou Xuan is very happy, if Nie Yuyan is not there, he will really feel a little bored during the holidays, and he will not have so much fun going to Los Angeles.

Zheng Bin was more concerned about basketball and asked: "Playing the Raptors must be another high-scoring game, when will Jackson and Margeti come back, and Ellis is also fast, right?" Can you give me some inside information? The people in the school are now waiting to see you join forces. ”

"Margetty is coming, Ellis is this month, his injury has healed, but he is still suspended, Jackson has the star game." Zhou Xuan said, this is not a secret.

Ellis didn't train with the team, and Zhou Xuan always felt that this person was very mysterious. As long as he comes, he will definitely be much better than Morrow and Azubuuk, but the two should have bigger problems on the defensive end together.

Zheng Bin asked again: "Will there be a deal in the medium term?" I think you're too crowded inside. It's a waste that Turyaf and Little Randolph don't go. ”

"Maybe, this secret that belongs to the team, someone will take care of it, it's not up to me."

"Can you give me some advice on who to do? For example, replace Yi Jianlian. Liu Yang asked.

"Yi Jianlian Zhilu said, you will be very happy to say this." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

It's a pity that only the ball blind thinks that Yi Jianlian can be replaced by Biedrins, and when he comes to stand on the field with Randolph, he has no defense at all. Many people wonder why Yi Jianlian's defense and dismantling effect is not good, his quality is obviously great, but his playing is slower than expected, but he is like this.

Zheng Bin gave the Warriors a move on behalf of the fans, hoping that they can change the interior line of defensive blocking and dismantling, otherwise the Lakers will be able to limit Kobe Bryant with one blocking. Without a trade, the Lakers will definitely not be beaten in the playoffs. Even the fans can see that the problem is that Biedrins is decided.

Zheng Bin proposed: "I think the Raptors' Bosh is the most suitable, averaging 20+10 per game, can prevent blocking and dismantling, can't resist people, and complements Randolph." Aldridge of the Trail Blazers is also good, with fast lateral movement and mid-range shots. At that time, Randolph can play as a cameo as a central striker in the low post, as long as he relies on his physique to prevent people from easily entering the box. ”

Liu Yang smiled: "Handsome guy, does he really understand?" These two people are right for you? ”

"It's suitable, but it can't be changed at all." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

Those two players are very young, and they are the key training targets in their respective teams, unless the owner is dizzy, it is impossible to send them away, and Biderins has no potential as good as these two, and the Warriors are not happy to pack up for others.

Sending Biderins away, Zhou Xuan didn't feel uncomfortable, Biderins talked too little, it was not easy to communicate, and he couldn't make more contributions on the offensive end. Even if there is an interior line like Oku, the Warriors' offense can go to the next level, and Oku can also resist people, and his defense is not inferior to Bidrins.

Zhou Xuan's personal favorite is Josh of the Eagles? Smith, if he comes, the pick-and-roll defense will be top-notch. Against the Eagles, he suffered. Although he is not tall, Smith's mobility is the strongest in the No. 4 position, and his quality is superhuman. Thaddeus Young of the 76ers and Jeff of the Thunder? Green is also a good choice, these two are in a different position, but they are good at blocking and pick-and-roll.

The 76ers have center Durham Porter, who will definitely not release him, and the Thunder lack a big man inside, so they should consider it, but sending Biedrins to the Thunder is tantamount to adding a potential opponent to the team in the future. Boris? Dio was also a good choice, not only could he shoot, defend pick-and-roll, but also be good at tackling offense, and the Bobcats had the foresight to poach him from the Suns.

Zhou Xuan has no say in the team management, and it depends on the scouts and manager Mullin who can be replaced by Biderlin, hoping that they have a better vision, as long as the person who comes is right, they can hit the championship this year.

At this time, Nelson Sr. was having lunch with someone, and he invited Biedrins to his house.

Just the two of them ate, and the cook cooked and went out of the house. Old Nelson said lightly: "Andris, Fagan has already talked to Mullin, saying that if you can't play center forward and increase your playing time, you have to transfer, is this what you really think?" ”

Biedrins nodded: "Yes, I'm really not suitable for blocking and pick-and-roll, I can only play my best under the basket, why can't I play like Howard, or let me be the same as before, my requirements are very simple, the low post is where I can play to my strengths." ”

"Because you're not Howard, and Zach is better than you." Nelson Sr. was not angry, and said lightly: "Your athleticism is good, but you are far worse than Howard, he jumps higher, faster, and has more strength than you, and can make up more caps, and you are just good at grabbing rebounds." Do you think Zach has been called a cancer before, and you have never been called a cancer, so you think you are better than him? You're wrong. The reason why you get a good evaluation is because of the low starting point, you have changed from a marginal person to a person who averages close to 10+10 per game, but I don't think you have improved much than before, I always hope that you can practice your mid-range shooting well and be more active when defending and pick-and-roll, because you can only become a super interior if you do these two things well, but you want to be content with the status quo and play only by talent. You haven't improved at all this summer compared to last season. ”

Biedrins was very depressed when he heard this, and the outside world thought that it was the old Nelson who made Biedrins and made him better, but Biedrins didn't think so. He felt that he had always had talent, but the coaches of the past did not know how to appreciate it and did not let him play. The old Nelson used him, but because the Warriors really didn't have anyone on the inside last season, so they had to let him go. And he seized the opportunity on his own.

Like Harrington, he doesn't like to be scolded, and he's also known for the team's ability to use him as the centerpiece of the team's tactics to give him more possession rather than just being a blue-collar player. Now old Nelson called him to dinner, and did not want to reuse him, but spoke of his shortcomings, which he had heard many times, and he felt that he had done enough.

Nelson Sr. continued: "I gave you the opportunity to prove yourself last season and I was optimistic about your talent, but you weren't good enough. You don't feel like you're being reused here, and of course we can trade, but I don't want to see you go back to the days when you couldn't play, so I want to give you some advice and give you a choice. You can keep the Warriors, play to your strengths of being fast, flexible, ditch rebounding stats and focus more on pick-and-rolls, and if you can defend yourself from the perimeter and set your sights on defenders, that's even better. Pretty data is just one way to prove yourself. And on the offensive end, you have to practice your mid-range shots and help the team. If you throw hundreds of balls in the same position a day, is it difficult to practice mid-range shots? Then you might get the maximum salary for your next contract. ”

Biedrins sighed and said, "Coach, I've really practiced shooting with my heart, maybe I don't have that talent." ”

"yes, you like to play with your talent, I see. I used to work with Webb and Nowitzki...... Similar things have been said by many people, some have succeeded, and some have retired early. I'm sorry you're the kind of person who doesn't believe me. Although you don't say it, I know what you think in your heart. ”

"I didn't mean that." Biedrins was a little embarrassed.

Old Nelson smiled and said, "I called you to dinner today just to hear your thoughts." Randolph is here this year and we can't treat him like New York and trade him away next year to get the right player to partner with him in order to compete for the title. And if you don't like pick-and-roll, we'll have to trade. You can rest assured, there are many teams in the league that are short of high strikers, and we will put you on a team that suits you, and you will definitely be the starter. But if in the future you are not reused, you can't play, and you lose something, you might as well recall what I said today and find a way to improve yourself, if it's still too late then. ”

More depressed than Delins, it sounded like a curse. If I stay 10+10, at least I'm a good blue-collar worker, and if I play like Howard and get a chance to attack in the low post, maybe I can still be at his level, how can I be reduced to a marginal person again?

Biedrins really doesn't believe in Nelson Sr., he believes in his talent more, so he still thinks that he can "force the palace" if he wants to go.

After this conversation, Nelson Sr. made up his mind that he would reuse Biedlings next, but a trade was already inevitable.
