Chapter 15: The Continuation of the Playoffs

For the Warriors, there are actually a lot of things to do, such as the contract extension of Curry and Keynes. Although Curry is not a starting guard, he is definitely qualified for a maximum middle-class contract, and Keynes' rookie contract this season will end, and the Warriors will have to spend a top-level middle-class contract to keep it, and Aix, Jobs' salaries will be tens of millions next season, and it may be difficult for the Warriors to pay such a high salary. And for the Warriors, this season may be their biggest opportunity, as they are likely to make big changes next season.

The Warriors will face the Thunder, who were eliminated by the Warriors last season. The Thunder's Gemini sign is maturing, but apparently they haven't achieved it yet. At most, it's to make it to the Western Conference Finals, which is not enough for a superstar. Moreover, the highlights of the two teams are the confrontation between Lin Fei and Wei Shao, as well as the scores of Lin Fei and Durant, especially Lin Fei's outburst at the last moment to snatch the scoring champion that Durant has already reached, which makes people feel enthusiastic when they think about it.

The Warriors' slogan for the new season: It's time. Indeed, after many years, it is almost the turn of the Warriors.

Warriors season tickets sell out. It has set a record in the league, which also reflects how much is expected of the Warriors.

The main lineup that still continues, Lin Fei, Keynes, Aix, Jobs, Clauderson. The sixth man is obviously going to be done by Curry. Lin Fei and Keynes are entering the year of play, while Aix and Steve Jobs are in the year of play, and Clauderson is also in the end of the year of play.

At the beginning of the preseason, the Warriors basically did not use the main players, and at most they played for ten minutes. But the Warriors are not at a disadvantage in the game with the Spurs and the Mavericks, and the speed that the Warriors pay attention to is difficult to parry under the interpretation of the bench. The Warriors didn't have a good record in the end, but Nelson undoubtedly pressed the surprise into the regular season, and everyone knows that the preseason is just playing, and basically doesn't show much strength.

The big war is imminent. Nelson told his disciples that after this season, he might consider not coaching the Warriors anymore because he's in his seventies. He is already a thousand-win coach, but he has not won a championship yet, and his running and bombing have not really been verified by the championship.

The words "champion" and "emotion" will undoubtedly be the two most powerful words for Warriors players to strive for.

The first game was the Warriors' home court. The commentator opened with the Thunder team, "Do you remember what it was like to be eliminated last year?" "Oh! Dear Ms. Durant (who is undoubtedly mocking Durant's style of play), remember how your scoring title was snatched by a time machine? The time machine quoted here happens to be the nickname "time machine" given by O'Neill, and it really spreads fast!

The Thunder team directly held their strength.

In the opening game, the Thunder grabbed the ball. Wei Shao held the ball, and directly came to a difficult backhand layup. Scored the Thunder's first point of the season.

The Warriors did not show weakness, directly fast-breaking, Lin Fei broke through to the free throw line, and gave the ball to Aix, who was at a 45-degree angle of the three-point line behind him, Aix held the ball, and directly dodged Durant to the inside, and also hit a layup.

Then the Thunder team turned out to be full of energy, and they came to a fast attack, and the fast break undoubtedly seemed to be Durant and Wei Shao as the protagonists. Wei Shao dribbled quickly and ate Lin Fei at the same time, and at the same time, Lin Fei also blocked Westbrook's throwing line, Wei Shao passed the ball to Durant on the outside, and Durant directly hit it. This young man's ** dry plucking is more and more like Maddie. Even the power of this move is already more powerful than that of Maddie at her peak.

Seeing such an aggressive Durant directly stimulated Lin Fei's scoring**. Lin Fei held the ball, continuously dodged the defense of the Thunder team's defenders, and hit the middle line, from the high-altitude camera, Lin Fei was like a sharp knife inserted into the front court of the Thunder team. All the players on the Thunder team know that the most terrifying thing about Lin Fei is his three-point, especially the long-range three-point in the past of the middle line. At this time, Durant and Wei Shao were still in the process of pursuing, Lin Fei jumped directly in the middle of running, his body was still drifting, and he made a three-point shot. This is almost Lin Fei's housekeeping stunt. The ball stayed in Lin Fei's hand slightly, obviously with a pause, and then shot. It's been a long time since the fans have seen such beautiful curves. The ball ripples in the air, as if it has penetrated deep into people's hearts. Hit. The stadium remembered the applause that had not been seen in a long time. This is undoubtedly announcing Lin Fei's arrival.

After a stretch of the game, the Thunder began to adjust their tactics and focus on Perkins on the inside. After all, the players have a limited amount of physical strength. At this time, although the main line is inside, it undoubtedly needs a strong outside line as a cover. The Warriors forced Clauderson to defend Perkins alone, and Perkins certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity, squeezing Clauderson directly to the basket and hitting a hook shot.

With this happening, Nielsen knew the opportunity had come. He knew that Thunder coach Scott Brooks must have been looking for a way to beat the Warriors after losing to the Warriors last season. In the end, the Thunder team must be nothing more than to continue to strengthen Lin Fei's supplementary defense and co-defense on the defensive end, and pay more attention to the cooperation between inside and outside on the offensive end, and no longer rely too much on the play of Gemini.

From a tactical point of view, the Thunder are undoubtedly correct, but they are facing the Warriors, which are a "scattered team". On the surface, the players' movements and ball lines are scattered, but their offense is never scattered. The analogy with literature is that "the form is scattered but the spirit is not dispersed". Their attack is also similar to Dugu Jiujian, it lies in a "sword intent", not the sword move itself, there is no unbreakable move in the world, as long as you have a "will", it will naturally come from the heart, and there is no move to win.

The reason why Nelson knew that the opportunity was coming was because of the Thunder's change of moves, directly because the Thunder team exposed flaws. Once the Thunder team mainly attacks the inside, the speed must be lower, whether the ball is scored or not, in the next time the Warriors attack, the Thunder interior players have gone deep into the Warriors' restricted area, and the backrun will naturally become slower, and the most powerful thing about the Warriors is that their forward line and guard line are all fast attack masters, if the Thunder team has a combination of internal and external defense, the Warriors in order to pay attention to speed, in the end are outside shots, and once the Thunder team is a little slower, the Warriors can play a combination of inside and outside fast attack.

Sure enough, after the Thunder focused on the interior, the Warriors held the ball by the outside player three times in a row, and the assist to the inside player won the shot, all of which were easy layups by the interior player. Exposed the Thunder's defensive holes.

The Warriors relied on this formation and directly took the initiative and led by 10 points. Originally, they wanted to avenge the revenge of one arrow, but the Thunder team, who was ashamed of the snow, was directly stunned, and seemed to see the gap with the Warriors.

Even though there was a small loss at the beginning, the Thunder team has a combination of twin stars after all, and they will definitely not give up, besides, the first quarter is not over yet. The final killer feature for many teams is to activate the individual singles mode of superstars, and the Thunder are no exception.

Scott Brooks can see that the more you try to defend the Warriors, the more you will be beaten. It's better to change to a general defensive strategy, one defense and one defense, the simplest, and the effect still looks the best.

Wei Shao is still defending Lin Fei. It is estimated that these two players will have to carry it sooner or later. Originally, Wei Shao, Ross and Wall were considered to be the representatives of the new generation of offensive point guards in the league, and they were all about the same in terms of strength, but as soon as Lin Fei appeared, the evaluation of point guards became a mess, and they basically ran to Lin Fei. But Wei Shao would never bow his head to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei controlled the ball, and Wei Shao simply leaned on Lin Fei. You must know that it is easy to be deceived by the opponent into fouling, but only in this way may be able to prevent Lin Fei from easily getting rid of his defense.

Lin Fei knew at this time that Lin Fei, who originally didn't like physical contact, simply forced a breakthrough, but Wei Shao's hand was on his waist and gently resisted Lin Fei, Lin Fei couldn't pass it, turned around, Wei Shao saw this, took a step forward, and pressed Lin Fei. Lin Fei turned around again, slightly distanced away from Wei Shao, a change of direction, but still did not shake off Westbrook, Lin Fei then turned around again, but it was a half-turn, his shoulders moved, but the whole person did not move, to put it bluntly, it was a feint, Wei Shao was fooled, Lin Fei took the opportunity to pass, Wei Shao could only watch Lin Fei's back leave. Lin Fei then went straight to the inside, at this time the Warriors no longer had the rhythm of fast attack, Lin Fei turned around with a big stride on the inside, directly avoided the Thunder's inside barrier, and took a step inside to the three-point line of the bottom line, Lin Fei then turned around for the second time in a row, and then hit a jumper.

Stunned everyone.

In an attack, Lin Fei dribbled the ball past people, and the set of actions of turning around was really vividly interpreted.

Isn't it time to make a totem for this guy's shooting and turning? It's really necessary.
