Chapter 21: Crazy speculation for the new season
The run-in period for pre-season has passed, and the sports lottery has come alive.
The odds offered on the lottery are a bit puzzling. For the Heat, they offered odds of 1:3.8, but for the Warriors, the odds turned out to be 1:4. After all, when the Warriors played against the Heat last season, from the perspective of the court, they had the absolute upper hand, if it wasn't luck, if it wasn't James, the championship would be the Warriors, this season the Warriors are more mature, and the Heat can only be said to be getting old, why are they still more popular than the Warriors. For this, the explanation given by experts is that the strength of the Heat team last season may indeed be slightly inferior to the Warriors, but this season Ray Allen and Lewis seem to be able to make up for that gap, that is to say, the two teams are theoretically about the same, but don't forget, the Warriors have changed coaches, that is to say, the difference between Nelson and D'Antoni is the difference of 0.2, if Nelson is coaching, presumably, the Warriors will also offer at least 3.8 odds, but unfortunately Nelson is no longer there.
In fact, although Nielsen has really retreated. But this old guy is not idle, crazy fishing, golf, climbing, busy mess, even Lin Fei wants to see him, he can't spare it. But when people mention the Warriors for this old guy, he is still excited, he is proud of the team he has built, there is no doubt that this is perhaps one of the greatest teams in the history of the league, and he regrets not being able to continue coaching, but he is still optimistic about D'Antoni's coaching style, and he still hopes that D'Antoni can coach the team according to his own style of play, because the players of the Warriors team are born to build such a lineup, The player's style of play is also for the team to be stronger, and perhaps only the Warriors' style of play can fully release the player's ability, the player and the team still have the team's style of play are interdependent, and the lack of anyone's attack power will be greatly reduced. If the team is missing a player, the tactical execution will decline, and the combat effectiveness will definitely decline, and many players may not be able to show their strongest side because of the lack of tactical support of the team.
There may still be many people who disagree with Nielsen's view. After all, the Warriors already have so many talented players that anyone with a discerning eye can see it. For example, Keynes, it is estimated that such a player can be a core player when he enters any other team, and can even become an absolute core player, but when Keynes entered the league, did you think he had such amazing results? You just think this guy is a bit like Maddie when he plays, and you just think this guy is really aggressive defensively, but have you ever thought about how high he is today? Especially when the Warriors' forward players Steve Jobs and Aix have been famous for a long time, Nelson can still find a place for Keynes in the Warriors and make Keynes stronger and stronger without ensuring that the team does not make much adjustment. Maybe people will still say that players like Steve Jobs, Aix, and Curry also have strong strength, and they definitely have their own place in other teams, which means that they may not be so dependent on the Warriors for their existence. But don't forget, these players are at the level now, Jobs averaged nearly 18+10 per game, which is enough to be proud of many interior players in the league, Aix's almost 17+6+4 report card is enough to make him comparable to those long-established small forwards in the league, and Curry's data is completely deservedly the best sixth man in the league, you may say, which of them can play a piece of their own world, but who can guarantee that when they are together, they can play? The world is so big that maybe there is only Nelson. This does not involve Lin Fei, who only belongs to Nielsen, the reason why it only belongs to Nielsen is because Lin Fei's physical fitness, confrontation intensity, and defensive ability at the beginning made almost all coaches daunted, even if someone saw Lin Fei's offensive talent, no one dared to use it, but only Nelson dared to use it boldly, and finally became famous. …,
Based on Nielsen's remarks, do you think Nielsen's 0.2 has too little impact? Truly! At least there will be many people who think that Nielsen definitely exceeds the coefficient of 0.2, but these may also assume that the real convincing thing is the results, and people are almost certain that it may be a bit difficult for the Warriors to achieve another 73-win record this season. After all, to achieve such an achievement, not only strength is needed, but also opportunities. Such a lineup is inherently unattainable, and such a gift is naturally unattainable, let alone achieving such results.
However, the Warriors do have a lot of players who are quite confident, such as Keynes Kannes. After losing the championship, this guy has been complaining that he should have shot more key shots, that he should have been stronger. However, his behavior is very contrary to his clamour, frequent nightclubs, crazy dating with beautiful women, and even saying that he doesn't go home at night, and sometimes even goes to Las Vegas to gamble, which can be described as a full range of poisons. But this may also be regarded as this guy's style, whether he is playing or off the court, he is frank and neat, and he dares to take responsibility for what he has done. It also made him very popular in front of the media and fans. People even doubted whether this would affect Cairns' play, but Cairns' reply was to reassure the fans that when it was time to play, he would definitely take it seriously, and the result may be the same, after all, judging from the performance in the pre-season, people believe that Cairns did not disappoint everyone.
For people like Keynes, believe it or not, there really is such a person in the world, they do have extraordinary talent, and even no matter how hard you try, you can't surpass it. No matter what field you are in, you may have met this kind of person, when you were a student, you will always meet so few, no matter how you play, the grades are still quite outstanding students, in the field of scientific research, there are also such talents, no matter how hard you work, you always do not have his outstanding grades, many times, you can't do it after you study hard, he can do it in a few minutes. In today's world, there are some hackers like that, and the defense system that engineers are thinking about is always easy to break through in their legendary group of hackers. Even in many cultures, there is such a situation, for example, in Taoist culture, isn't it often said that ten years of cultivation is better than one day of enlightenment? Isn't there an epiphany in Buddhism? All of this proves the idea that there are indeed some gifted people in the world. His small steps, you may need a lot of effort to achieve. Maybe Keynes really was that kind of person, but even if he was that kind of person, no one thought that he could continue like this, after all, he had a lot of lessons from the past.
