Chapter 32: Ten Years of Rivalry

Lately, Richard has become a little tangled.

The team's scouts have been sent out one after another to inspect the NCAA demons, but looking at the scouting reports sent back one after another, Richard is really a little entangled, next season, if nothing else, the Warriors will have a lottery pick, a draft pick at the end of the first round and two second-round picks, Richard can use these four picks to pick his favorite player.

And now, after Richard has determined most of the core lineup and core tactics for the future, he finds that there is one position that bothers him a lot.

Richard's troubled position is the small forward position, first of all, he really wants an organizational small forward, but on the other hand, he wants to choose a defensive small forward, so Richard is entangled, for the Warriors, the small forward position, defense and organization are very important, unless Antoine Jamison is replaced, replaced by a big forward who can defend or organize, but Jamison plays so well, Richard obviously can't just replace him.

And small forwards who can take care of both defense and organization are very few in the league, and even in the upcoming draft, Richard did not find any good seedlings.

However, Richard thought carefully and finally decided that he could choose a defensive player for the small forward position, but his previous plan had to be overturned.

Originally, Richard wanted to select Gilbert Arenas in next year's draft, and then use the All-Star foursome composed of Gilbert Arenas + Michael Reed + Antoine Jamison + future Yao Ming as the core to hit the league's highest honor.

Now it seems that perhaps Gilbert Arenas is not a good fit for this Warriors, because Gilbert Arenas has poor organizational skills and may not be able to match the Warriors' tactical system.

The Warriors' tactical system still needs a master of organizing passes, similar to Steve Nash, even if the number of assists does not reach the height of Nash, at least it can organize the team's offense, which is why Richard has always wanted to find a small forward who can organize, because if there is an organized small forward, then there is no need for Arenas to organize the offense.

Now, since there is no small forward who can be both organized and defensive, and the Warriors do need a small forward who can defend as a wing gate, Richard can only choose to re-select at the point guard position.

After a long period of reflection, Richard chose to focus on Shaun Battier, Joe Johnson, Gerard Wallace, Tony Parker and Gilbert Arenas in this rookie class.

Although Arenas is not suitable for the Warriors, Richard still focuses on him, after all, this is a star player who can be selected in the second round, and even if it is not suitable for the team, Richard feels that he should take a gamble.

In addition to paying attention to the matter of the draft, Richard also found a new coach for the team during this time - Chip Engelland, a shooting coach, in the strategy that Richard built for the Warriors, shooting became more and more important, in this case, Richard began to look for shooting coaches across the United States, and Chip Engelland was the first shooting coach Richard found.

The 1.93-meter-tall middle-aged man was a shooter in high school and college, and was even the leading scorer in the Los Angeles area high school league in high school.

This is the information that Richard knows about Chip Engelland, in fact, there is something that Richard does not know, Richard does not know, in fact, in the world of his previous life, Chip Engelland later became the Spurs' shooting coach and was known as the most reliable shooting coach in the league.

Maybe Richard didn't know that he unknowingly got a powerful shooting coach.

At the request of Richard, the Warriors reduced the previous super-fast blocking and dismantling speed, and then with the help of the shooting training plan brought by Chip Engelland, the team's advantages were slowly transformed, from the original speed as an advantage to speed plus shooting feel as an advantage.

This is also a big change in the offensive tactics of the Warriors, but for the Warriors, the biggest change should be their change on the defensive end, under the auspices of Frank Vogel, the Warriors have to practice defensive positioning and running for half a day every day, and during this time the Warriors have won and lost games, winning the game is not Michael Reed's hot hands, and losing the game is also because Michael Reed's hands are bad.

It can be said that the current Warriors are still a shooting team that relies on their hands, and the real offensive cooperation has not yet been played, but Richard also knows that it is unlikely that the Warriors' current lineup will play the effect he wants.

For Richard, the victories and defeats during this period were normal, except for one game that made Richard very depressed and at the same time drew attention.

In the away game against the Spurs on April 3, the Warriors were defeated by the Spurs by an exaggerated score of 30 points, and for Richard, the most worrying thing for him was not the 30-point difference, but the Spurs' defensive Warriors' tactics in that game, which made Richard draw his attention.

In that 30-point defeat, the Spurs were wrapping the key players of the Warriors almost the entire game, from the beginning of the simple package of Michael Reed, to the back of the same Antoine Jamison and Michael Reed, and finally even directly wrapped up the key pass of Ralph Alstom, such frequent packs directly made the Warriors' fast blocking and shooting tactics unable to operate normally.

Especially after the bread and Alston Raf, the Warriors couldn't even pass the ball, so they could only release a player to run to the back to catch the ball, and then reorganize the offense, and the Spurs finally won the game with such a defensive strategy.

After that game, Greg Popovich smiled happily, but Richard was obsessed with the Spurs, in his previous life, as a fan, Richard's ears have been echoing the legend of the Spurs, what team operates the demon, Zhuge Vic...... The legend of Richard had long been heard that Richard's ears had been calloused.

After coming to this life, Richard didn't feel the horror of the Spurs, but this game made Richard directly feel the difference of the Spurs, when the whole league boasted about the Warriors' metamorphosis, only the Spurs proved that the Warriors were a normal bad team with practical actions!

The actual actions of the Spurs also made Richard clench his fists, and the current Warriors have no capital to compete with the Spurs, but Richard believes that in two years at most, the Warriors will be a team at the same level as the Spurs!
