After a few days off, the Warriors began preparing for the playoffs. The intensity of the training is not too high, but you have to play a training match every day to make sure you feel good. At this stage, I can't relax, and once I am eliminated, I can only go home to fish.

Under Nelson's urging, the Warriors, in addition to training games, are crazy to connect three-point shots, and shooting is the foundation of the Warriors.

The Warriors have a number of good three-point shooters, such as Moreau, Jackson, Milicic, Crawford, Gerrard Green, and Barnes, who doesn't shoot too much but doesn't show relentlessness in crunch time. If Lee gets caught in the playoffs, they'll get a shot.

The biggest hidden danger for the Warriors right now is not the power forward, but the point guard. After Lowry left, Livingston and Crawford could not play a good role in the organization, and in most cases, only Richie could play a cameo point guard role, so Richmond's assists this season averaged 5.4 per game. This is not a job that Li Zhi likes to do, organizing, attacking, and defending all at once, which makes Li Zhi physically and mentally exhausted at some times.

At this time, Li Zhi cursed Chris Mullin again and traded Lowry away, so that Li Zhi and Mullin directly had a deep problem.

……

Renault and Chris Cohan made progress in their negotiations, but Chris Cohan waited for the price and raised the price to 600 million, making Renault eager to kill the miser.

Peter, another interested in buying the Warriors, was also shocked by Chris Cohan's shamelessness, and he scolded Chris Mullin in the media several times, but still made concessions on the acquisition of the Warriors.

In desperation, Peter approached his partner, Rakeb, and asked him to co-finance the purchase of Mullin's shares, but Laceb was also in a difficult situation. He feels that this is an opportunity, with Li Zhi here, the Warriors will never worry about tickets not being sold, and it seems that this is a profitable business. But Rakbu can't come up with 300 million US dollars, and the two billionaires in the eyes of outsiders can only make up 450 million at this time, but there is still a gap of 150 million.

At this time, Lakeb's call came to Renault, hoping that the three would have a joint venture, but Renault couldn't pay attention to it, he could buy it himself, but he couldn't see the ambition of the villain Kriscohan, so he repeatedly delayed the acquisition plan. However, the two of Laceb and Peter, obviously full of sincerity, Renault weighed it and called Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was also stunned when he heard this disappearance, but he didn't expect that because of Renault's involvement, the old ghost Chris Cohan would have to gain an inch. But the three-person joint venture seems to be a good plan, Renault doesn't know how to run an NBA team, but Lacob and Peter understand, and it's a fact that the two brought the Warriors into a championship team in their previous lives.

……

The first round of the playoffs is about to begin, and the Warriors and Trail Blazers are engaged in a war of words before the game.

In an interview with reporters, Fernandez said confidently: "The Warriors can't beat the Trail Blazers, and the only confusion for the Trail Blazers is to send the Warriors home in the first few games." ”

"You ask me why? Brandon is stronger than Richie, and I, Rudy Fernandez, will prevent Richmond! ”

After Li Zhi heard this interview, he secretly said that Fernandez has swelled this season.

The reporter asked Li Zhi: "The Internet is discussing who is stronger, you or Roy, what do you think?" ”

Li Zhi adhered to the tradition of the Chinese nation and said modestly: "We are not strong, the strongest is Fernandez, he is the king of the mouth!" ”

The reporters were stunned by Li Zhi's Q&A, and they didn't understand what "the king of the mouth" meant for a long time, but after a few minutes, the reporters still began to laugh, and they understood the meaning of the word "the king of the mouth". When other players were asked this kind of question, some were humble and some were arrogant, and the answer was nothing more than these two, but Li Zhi was very humorous.

As soon as Richie's interview came out, Fernandez was furious, and he vowed to make Richie look good in the playoffs.

Although Roy doesn't care about this problem, he is also secretly serious with Li Zhi in his heart, he averaged 25.6 points, 5.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game this season, and ranked seventh in the MVP list behind Tony Parker. Many people think that if Li Zhi is not injured, this position will not be Roy's.

Roy is a pure technical stream, and his style of play is very similar to Kobe, so he won the name of "Yellow Mamba" in his rookie season, and he was complacent about it in the first two seasons, but this season the Trail Blazers' record has skyrocketed, Roy does not want to continue to live in the shadow of Kobe, he wants to surpass Kobe.

In the first two years, the Trail Blazers suffered injuries and had a bad record, but this season they are all healthy except for Oden, and he will not allow the team to fall in the first round, even if it is the Warriors.

Stimulated by Rich, Fernandez performed well, this was his rookie season, averaging 18.5 points, 2.3 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game, as if becoming the third core of the Trail Blazers, which is why the Trail Blazers are so strong. In addition to Fernandez, another rookie of the Trail Blazers, Batum, also performed well, with 14.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists, and has replaced Blake in the starting lineup.

At the center position, Oden was reimbursed, and the starter Chaninfrye averaged 11.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, especially a three-point shot, making him another center shooter after Oku.

And all the changes of the pioneers are due to Li Zhi. Competition, make the trailblazers stronger.

The playoffs are best-of-seven and have a home-and-away split, with home-and-away advantage, with teams with a high percentage of regular-season wins having home-court advantage. The format of the game is 2-2, with two home games and then two away games and then one game each with a high win percentage in the regular season. The finals are in 232 mode, because of the east-west duel, long-distance flights affect the state of players, so three appearances are arranged in the middle.

In the evening, in the locker room, Nelson gathered the Warriors players and said in a big victory: "The game is about to start, I don't care if you are nervous or not, you have to give me concentration!" The playoffs are all about tactics, defense, and willpower. Win, we're close to the second round, lose, go home fishing! Do you want to go home fishing? ”

"I don't want to!" The Warriors players replied in unison.

Nelson was satisfied, and he was worried about how the Warriors' young bastards would play in the playoffs, but it seems that they are in good shape right now.

Milicic is the one who played in the Finals with the Pistons, and although he didn't play much, he has always seen the scene of iron-blooded fighting. So now he was very comfortable, looking at the nervous little Jordan with disdain.

"I said, hairy egg, what are your legs shaking?"

Little Jordan numbly turned his head to look at Milicic, and said miserably: "Brother Golden Retriever, I'm nervous ......"

Nick Young heard the conversation between the two and immediately joined in, saying: "Mao Dan, don't be nervous, this is a small scene, we will be the ones who will play in the finals in the future!" ”

Nick Young opened his eyes wide and his expression was funny, Milicic snorted coldly and said, "Finals, have you ever played?" ”

Nick Yang said disdainfully: "I haven't eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run?" ”

Milicic stood up and threw the towel in Nick Young's face.

"FXXK, who do you say is a pig!"
