Chapter 255: The Seed of the Cavalry Battle
The one who can make money for the NBA is the superstar, otherwise, it's just the player. Lee clearly fits David Stern's criteria.
In the Warriors' game that day, they easily took the incoming king. It only took three quarters for the Kings to disarm and surrender, and Li Zhi scored 39 points in the third quarter, which was as efficient as Kobe Bryant.
It was Curry who made Warriors fans feel upset, and in the face of Terek Evans, Curry was completely blown up. Tyrek Evans played 28 minutes and scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists on 55.7% shooting, and even after losing the game, Evans received a lot of media attention.
Curry struggled, 9 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, scored without a double-double, and also had 5 fouls and 4 turnovers.
On Nov. 7, the Warriors won another 18-point win at home against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies currently have a 0-4 record and are at the bottom of the West.
The Grizzlies played high scores against the Kings and Nuggets, but the defense was too bad to win a game.
Their chosen Hashem Tabit only played five minutes in this game. Rough technique, empty physical fitness, extremely slow movement, full of shortcomings in the eyes of opponents, only a blue-collar ability.
At this time, the Clippers, Thunder, Kings and other teams that did not select Thabit gloated. Tabit doesn't have as much power as he played before the draft, and he can't do anything but block. His template, Mutombo, also fainted in the toilet crying at this time.
Grizzlies fans don't understand why the team chose Tabit, they already have a talented Marc Gasol on the inside, what do they choose an interior player for? Did they pay the price of a list in exchange for a blue-collar who averaged 3 minutes per game and couldn't do anything but block?
Wallace, the general manager of the Grizzlies, is also suffering now, I don't understand basketball, don't you scouts understand? This time he was completely cheated by scouts. In the Grizzlies, Wallace's job is only to make money, and signing Iverson as a mascot is an important part of Wallace's money-making mission.
But Wallace obviously made a mistake, to make money, not only to have stars, but also to have records and topics, otherwise why attract fans?
Is it funny that Iverson let him play as a substitute for Michael Conley? The fans were outraged.
Stars don't work, and the potential players in the team aren't that kind of talking points. Michael Conley has potential, but after entering the league, there is no sense of existence at all, and many people don't know that there is such a potential point guard in the Grizzlies.
Marc Gasol relied on his brother to be somewhat well-known, but he was too honest to have high stats and could not attract fans. Monta Ellis and Rudy Gay are okay, but the two have empty tempers and are pseudo-All-Stars, so they are not suitable to be big bosses.
Grizzlies fans have seen that this season's Grizzlies are running for the lottery again.
Li Zhi once again had a brilliant performance, playing 29 minutes, scoring 29 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. If the team hadn't clocked in in the third quarter, his stats would have gone to more than 40 points.
On the 9th, the Warriors beat the Clippers at home and won six in a row. The Clippers have a 1-5 record, and it's rubbish.
On the 10th, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves again, and the Warriors won by 30 points 140-110, continuing their seven-game winning streak.
Richie played two quarters and got 20 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals, and Gerard Green played a long time in place of Richie, scoring 22 points and 5 rebounds. David Lee also had a performance of 22 points and 10 rebounds. Jordan Jr. had 10 points and nine rebounds, and Curry had 16 points.
The Warriors had a stunning start to the tournament, opening with seven straight wins, for which Lee was named the Western Conference Player of the Week.
In the East, the Cavaliers are leading the way, now 7-1, and if it weren't for the upset loss to the Wizards, it would now be an 8-game winning streak.
Some fans joked: "This year's finals may be the Cavaliers fighting the Warriors." Many people replied to him, impossible.
There are still a lot of players who know the ball, and although the Warriors and Cavaliers have good records, they are only considered the second seeds in their respective divisions. The Lakers and the Green Army are the two teams that fans are most optimistic about.
James has been hated by many people, and in the past few years, James's black fans have become more and more. The honeymoon period between him and the fans has arrived, and the fans began to compare him with Kobe Bryant and Duncan, without a championship, he lacks a kind of confidence, and his resume is much worse than the two.
There are many reasons for fans to black stars, and they think James is a bad teammate.
Byron Davis came to the Cavaliers, averaging only 17.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, while Biedrins had 5.9 points and 7 rebounds. Comparing the data of the two in previous seasons, Byron Davis averaged more than 20 points per game, and Biderins averaged two double-doubles per game, which is indeed a "waste" point. However, without James, this team definitely does not have the current record, Byron Davis and Biedlings are not wanted by other teams, and the Cavaliers lineup looks quite bluffing, but it is not so scary.
The team won in a row, but there were contradictions within the team.
Curry and Beverley have friction, and if it weren't for the other players pulling it, the two would probably have had a big fight. Beverley disagreed with Curry and made a real move with Curry in practice. Curry also looks down on Beverley, a "rough man", and the two have had friction for a long time because of their playing time, and now they finally broke out.
Originally, the enemy of the two should be Crawford, but Crawford is an old qualification, and he is half of Li Zhi's teacher, and neither of them dares to do anything to Crawford.
Li Zhi watched the "duel" between the two little guys and felt funny, and when Nelson didn't show up, Li Zhi played fifty boards each, letting the two run in circles.
Beverly held his breath and turned to leave. Curry couldn't swallow this breath, squirmed for a long time, and ran away.
Crawford said, "I feel old, and the little ones have stiff wings. ”
Jackson laughed: "I'm old, George handled the mistakes, a bit of a boss." ”
Barnes pouted and said, "It's okay, George is a little too kind, the newcomers don't know his temper, and now we need to make the little ones remember a little longer." ”
Li Zhi rarely intervenes in the conflict in the locker room, but this time he had to intervene, Curry and Beverley, and the Warriors could not lose any of them. He was a bit of a bottomless last season, after all, it belongs to the coach.
Nelson is not a person who is good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and last season the Warriors locker room was as peaceful as ever, and even the two thorns of Nick Young and Milicic were honest, and that was because of O'Neal.
Last season, no one in the Warriors locker room stepped up, and Nelson couldn't take care of it, so Byron Davis, Monta Ellis, and El Harrington were always fighting in the open and in the dark.
It's different now, the Warriors have changed owners, Li Zhi has a big waist, and no one ignores his words because he is young. O'Neill set an example for him, and now he has to learn to be a boss, and that's the way he has to go.
Rakeb is now playing with the team culture, and Li Zhi feels that this is a good opportunity to build the team culture and strengthen the team cohesion.
But what should be the direction of the Warriors' scoring team culture? Now Lakb, West, and Nelson are all agonizing, this is not something that can be done overnight, it must last...
