Chapter Twenty-Seven: Old Nelson's Madness (Part II)

Don Nelson, as a famous coach, has a very high reputation in the American basketball world, which is not compensated by the number of championship rings, this old man does not have the honor of a division champion on his body, but he has left too many legends in the league!

In the first two years, the crazy Warriors completed a counterattack under his tutelage, and successfully turned the tables 2-4 in the doubts of hundreds of millions of people, completing the fourth "Black Eight" feat in NBA history.

What was the craziest team in '07? It's not the Mavericks with the most fierce record, it's not the Cavaliers led by the little emperor, and it's not the Celtics, the winner of the final championship, but the Warriors who broke out wildly in the playoffs that year, the crazy offensive team that played crazy bombardment tactics!

Who would have thought that such an old sect leader with the nature of a madman would be interested in himself this summer, which Li Shihao never expected.

Curry stared into Lee Se-ho's eyes, without the hippie smile of the past, and whispered: "Bruce, to be honest, Don thinks you are the most potential of our rookies, and he originally wanted to get the lottery pick in the hands of the Timberwolves in the draft this year, but this proposal was vetoed by your Timberwolves coach McHale. Otherwise, we will have the opportunity to play together! ”

Between the words, Curry's tone was a little expectant, it is undoubtedly a very comfortable thing to play on the same team with friends who have known each other for many years, and with their potential and tacit understanding, their backcourt duo will blow an unparalleled storm in the middle.

Li Shihao was silent, shocked in his heart, he understood why the Timberwolves chose themselves again after choosing the Spanish golden boy Rubio, and made a big deal in a short period of time, quickly established his own value, and established himself as the core of the team.

It turned out that Don Nelson had such a bold idea in the draft, selecting himself and Curry at the same time in the draft, and forming a young backcourt two-point guard combination in Golden State, such a bold and crazy idea really made him secretly frightened.

But I have to say that even Li Shihao can't help but feel crazy about this idea, he and Curry's ability is extremely good in this year's draft, the two of them have been polished with the ball in the NCAA for three years, and they can also be ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the competitive NBA, with both of them have good organizational skills, under the tutelage of the old Nelson, the two will become one of the most terrifying backcourt combinations in the league in the future.

Unfortunately, this conjecture was dismantled in the cradle before it could be realized.

However, Li Shihao's heart has risen a fighting spirit of not admitting defeat, on his basketball road, it has never been a smooth road, and the yellow race will definitely not suffer less doubts here than blacks, but under his hard work, although the doubts are still the same, there is no lack of support!

Stockton, Nash, Don Nelson, their knowledge of point guards far exceeds their own, but they still see the shining points under their mediocre physical fitness, and see the possibility of becoming a superstar!

So what is there to be afraid of?

After a delicious dinner with Curry, the group rode Curry's new car to the Warriors' home arena, Oracle Arena.

Tickets for today's game were sold out shortly after they went on sale, and the rookie battle between Curry and Lee Se-ho has attracted widespread attention from California fans, and the fans in the stands who were seated also accounted for the majority.

Many fans in the arena wore white No. 30 jerseys and chanted Curry's name all over the court, and after a few games, Curry changed his mediocre state at the beginning of the season and began to show his outstanding talent.

Accurate three-point shots, under Curry's extremely fast shooting speed, can often make opponents unable to react, can only look back at the basketball in the air through a graceful arc, the result of waiting for is usually only hollow into the net.

The killer cold-blooded three-point ability has made Warriors fans fall in love with this unusual rookie, and his fans have come to enjoy watching Curry play, and there's nothing more comforting than watching him shoot.

When the lights dimmed, the voice of the host DJ was loudly transmitted to the Oracle Arena: "Gentlemen and ladies, let's welcome the Timberwolves rookie kid who came to Oracle Arena today to challenge - Bruce Lee!" ”

As soon as the voice of the host DJ fell, the audience burst into cheers, and many Chinese fans wearing Li Shihao's No. 11 blue jersey cheered and shouted loudly.

When a figure in a blue shirt appeared in the dim tunnel of the players, the fans in the stadium clearly saw the shining No. 11 jersey number, giving Li Shihao a great cheer.

As a friend of Curry, the core of the team, Li Shihao was treated with cheers from Oakland fans and Chinese compatriots!

Curry, who was waiting in the players' tunnel, couldn't help but be a little stunned, whose home court is this? Why does this kid seem to be more popular than me!

In this game, due to the first meeting of the season between the rookies of the two teams, Nelson Sr. thoughtfully promoted Curry to the starting position and formed a backcourt partner with Monta Ellis.

When the game started, Curry quickly faced Li Shihao's defense with the ball, spit out his braces, and showed an extremely bright smile at Li Shihao, taking advantage of Li Shihao's distraction, he suddenly took a step back and opened the distance between him and Li Shihao.

This is really the long-heard "blind-covering law" in the league, Li Shihao is a little helpless in his heart, this kid still likes this trick to confuse himself, but he always gets hit, whether this ball can be prevented, I can only pray that Curry's hand is not hot.

Unfortunately, it was not unsatisfactory, the basketball fell steadily into the net bag, splashing a wave, Curry opened his hand and swung his fist hard, put his hand at his side, and began to lower his body and run and cheer.

As soon as this iconic action came out, it immediately won the cheers of the fans in the stadium, one after another, resounding through the stadium.

This kid still loves to show so much, but this three-point strength is really shocking!

Li Shihao has accumulated a lot of foundation in the three years of the NCAA, and he has dabbled a lot in a series of offensive methods such as breakthroughs, passes, mid-range jumpers, and pull-up jumpers.

However, in his diverse scoring methods, three points are undoubtedly one of his weaknesses, his three-point is undoubtedly much weaker than Curry, the shooting rate is high and low, he completely depends on the good or bad hand, he is not too confident in his three-point shooting, and his three-point opportunities in a game are often not too many.

Curry scored three points for the Warriors in the opening game, which boosted the team's morale, and then Lee Shihao passed the ball to Lefu and threw it to the basket, who did not feel well at the beginning, and the basketball did not fall into the net obediently. On the contrary, it was Curry, a kid who was in high spirits and passed the ball to Biederins on the inside.

Biedrins is not false in the face of Al Jefferson and Love's defense, confidently turning and leaning on the play, he belongs to the kind of lanky type of white inside, but he is thin but not weak, his body is strong and powerful, and his ability to carry the basket alone is extremely good, which is a great threat to many teams in the league.

Biedrins leaned up, stopped his position steadily, and suddenly turned to the right with dexterity and swiftness, shook Lefou, opened up the inside space, and calmly shot with his left hand, with a soft touch, the basketball fell steadily into the basket after playing the board, and won two points for the Warriors again.

The Warriors took the lead in this game, scoring five points at home in the opening game, and the atmosphere at the Warriors' home court immediately began to heat up.

Since the old Nelson returned to take charge of the Warriors' coaching whip last year, the Warriors have quickly played an extremely good performance, the Warriors, who have not entered the playoffs for thirteen consecutive years, have formed a very crazy playing style in the team under the leadership of the old Nelson, they played a wave of 9-1 in the last minute of the regular season with a crazy state, got the last ticket to the playoffs, and kicked the Mavericks, who had the first regular season record in the league, out of the playoffs and completed the bloody black eight!

This crazy style of play has made Warriors fans crazy in love with this brand-new team, and the gorgeous offensive style and crazy style of play have made the Warriors' box office regain recognition in the local fan market.

The Warriors' outstanding opening performance in this game excited the fans who bought tickets to watch the game, and there were even countless shouts of "Attack!" in the home stadium of Oracle Arena. ”“Attack！” “Attack！”。

Even the fans were shouting for attack, and the crazy atmosphere at home could be seen.

Although the cheers in the arena were loud and loud, Li Shihao still remained calm, he carefully thought about the Warriors' interior and exterior defense, and thought about where to start.

The Warriors' interior line is not superior to the Timberwolves, and throughout the Warriors' previous wins, they are often the result of outside firepower suppression, and the Timberwolves can only win this game from the inside.

Biedrins has played a huge role for the Warriors, being the team's interior defensive core, with great physical attributes, excellent bounce and speed, good timing on blocks, and a natural blocker. And although he looks thin, he is not inferior to most of the league's interior in terms of strength, he belongs to the kind of strength in his bones, he is not afraid of physical confrontation on the inside, and can solve problems such as rebounding and interior defense for the Warriors.

As long as he finds a way to contain him in this game, then the number of rebounds in the Warriors will gradually tilt towards the Timberwolves, without a sufficient number of rebounds to support, the Warriors' hand will sooner or later drop to the freezing point, at that time, it is the time for the Timberwolves to launch a wave of rhythm and take away the Warriors!

Li Shihao thought about it, stretched out his hand and raised his index finger high, signaled to play the No. 1 tactic, gave Al Jefferson and Lefu a look to the inside, and prepared to execute offensive tactics for the interior line in the future.
