Chapter 239: Skill Growth Card
Although this season's team tournament was eliminated, Li Zhi was not completely without gains, and the system also had an encouragement to be issued - a peak Rondo growth card.
Peak Rondo Growth Card: It can accelerate the growth of players' organizational skills, and eventually reach the Peak Rondo standard. Note: Crafting cards are not available for the host and can only be used for players on the host team.
The first thing Li Zhi thought of when he got this card was to use it for Curry, thinking that Curry had Rondo's elusive passing. But will you cultivate a pervert like this? What if Curry is too fond of passing the ball and not shooting?
Shaking his head, Li Zhi still decided to give Curry this card. In fact, Li Zhi has many options now, not for Curry, but for Jordan Jr. After Jordan Jr. has passing skills, his ability to respond should be able to improve by one level, but Li Zhi still has an obsession in his heart, he just wants to see what Curry with Rondo's passing skills is like.
On the 19th, the Warriors began training camp a week ahead of schedule to prepare for the new season.
The first time Curry came to the Warriors' training arena, he saw Li Zhi as a "boss". The young man's mind was full of admiration, and Li Zhi looked embarrassed, how could this product be exactly the same as a primary school student?
The players were assembled, along with a couple of players who had been invited to play pre-season. Kings veteran Mitch Moore on the inside, and Devin George, the swingman given up by the Mavericks, these two are fighting for those two guaranteed contracts.
There is not much competition within the Warriors, and the 15-man roster is barely on the lineup.
Teammates greeted each other after meeting, Jordan Jr. was obviously strong, he was asked by Nelson to increase his muscles in the summer, and he also specially asked O'Neal to practice his foot skills. O'Neal set up a training camp in the summer, and the training fee for killing people is not something that ordinary NBA players can afford, that is, Jordan Jr. has a good relationship with O'Neal and confiscates his money. Joining Jordan Jr. in training with O'Neal are Horford, Kevin Loew and Paul Millsap.
Jackson grew his beard again, and Li Zhi quipped, "I'll be old after a summer." "Jackson is really not young, he is 31 years old this season, and his peak is only a few years.
Crawford wasn't idle in the summer, and he didn't practice his three-point shot. "George, I'll shoot you with a three-pointer when I play a practice match."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait." ”
New additions "Birdman" Chris Anderson and Jackson "smell like" and quickly mingle with the Warriors. Li Zhi is also very familiar with him, and the Warriors and Nuggets have played against each other a lot of times, and they are all acquaintances.
Several new faces also came to "worship the pier", and Li Zhi introduced Yi Jianlian to the Warriors, and everyone applauded enthusiastically. However, a large part of them are because of Li Zhi, Yi Jianlian is very happy, and the atmosphere in the Warriors team is what he likes.
When he was first traded to the Warriors, he was still a little worried, afraid that a championship team like the Warriors would not have his own playing time. David Lee, Jordan Jr., and Birdman are all tougher than him, and it's normal to worry about that.
Li Zhi patted Yi Jianlian's shoulder and signaled him to be enthusiastic. Yi Jianlian's personality is a little shy, which is not a good thing in the NBA.
Curry doesn't look like a rookie at all, he has been hanging out in the NBA arena since he was a child, and even "one-on-one" with Carter, Maddie and others when he wore open crotch pants, which is a small scene for him.
The other Patrick Beverley was a bit reserved and obviously not confident. His strength is limited now, and the outside world is not very good. In his junior year, Beverley was banned from school for a year for cheating on his papers, and had no choice but to leave college to play in Europe.
He did well in Europe, but his performance was discounted in the eyes of many NBA scouts, he was not very good at attack and organization, and he was only 185cm tall, and the scouts didn't believe that this little man could be so good in the NBA defense.
For Beverley, Li Zhi has no good way, he has no extra skill synthesis cards, he can only use words of encouragement, or feed him more balls on the field.
After the assembly, the new owner Lakbu came to speak and said a look forward to the future, he used to be a venture capitalist, he was very eloquent, and he painted a beautiful blueprint for the players in a few words.
Jerry West also made a mobilization, the goal of the Warriors in the new season is to defend the title, this season's Warriors lineup is not as strong as last season, and it all depends on the play of Li Zhi.
Later, under Nelson's arrangement, the Warriors were divided into two groups to play a confrontation game, and Nelson wanted to take the opportunity to have a general understanding of the strength of the players.
Crawford, Jackson, Gerard Green, David Lee, Jordan Jr. A group, Li Zhi with Curry, Beverley, Yi Jianlian and "Birdman" Anderson several newcomers.
In the game, Yi Jianlian played a little unconfidently, often floating in the middle distance, and the sense of card position could not keep up, which was similar to when Milicic first came to the Warriors, but now that the Warriors have no O'Neal as a teacher, it is difficult to say where Yi Jianlian will play this season.
Anderson has nothing to say, his physical fitness is strong, his technique and strength are average, and he is not outstanding on the inside. What is rare is his tactical awareness, fierce defense, and passion for playing, which can ignite the existence of the team.
Beverley didn't talk much off the court, but he was a completely different person when he got on the court. It wasn't easy for Beverly to get to this point, so he worked very hard and bit the old-timer Stephen Jackson, and the angry Jackson yelled: "Are you a dog?" ”
Jackson was originally a joke, but was scolded back by Beverley: "I'm a dog!" ”
Jackson was stunned on the spot, this ...... You don't play cards according to common sense, brother.
Although he was scolded, Jackson still admired Beverley, his physical talent was not good, but he had a warm blood, which reminded Jackson of what he was like when he was young.
The most surprising thing is Curry, Nelson's expectations for Curry are the greatest, but he didn't expect a training game to raise Nelson's expectations for Curry again.
Perfect touch, great tactical awareness, amazing coordination, and a playmaking skill that was never seen before.
Although five of Curry's eight assists were given to Richie, it was hard to hide his talent for passing. Li Zhi looked at Nelson's gaze and was a little jealous, and MD regretted giving the skill growth card to this elementary school student.
Li Zhi is now also beginning to look forward to what kind of monster Rondo's organization and Curry's talent will create, at least better than the elementary school students in his previous life, right?
In addition to defense, what was criticized during the peak period of elementary school students in his previous life was organization, because of the deep warrior system, everyone's shooting ability is good, which makes fans think that his assists should be discounted partly.
Overall, the strength of the Warriors this season is indeed a little less than last season, but it depends on Curry and Jordan Jr. to grow to that point, if under the guidance of Li Zhi, they can grow up quickly, then the Warriors don't have to worry about the playoffs, and maybe they have the strength to compete for the championship again.
