Chamberlain sat on the podium at the Oracle Center, with his hands behind his head and watched as the staff changed the logo of the regular season game to the playoffs.

The tighter hoop is suitable for positional warfare, because it is difficult to control the rebound trajectory of the ball after the long-range shooting iron, and the loose hoop is suitable for projection warfare.

At this time last season, the Warriors and Jazz played against each other, and that's what they did, and the Jazz were eliminated very sadly, and this season was even more sad, they didn't even make the playoffs, and the iron coach Sloan was very helpless, not that he was not in good command, nor that the players did not work hard, but in the main lineup, Delon, Boozer, Oku and Kirilenko were constantly absent, and the three of them together missed nearly 100 games this season!

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that last year was an Olympic year, when the players did not get a good rest in the off-season for the sake of national honor, and continued to play and played in world-class fierce competitions.

Injuries have always been the number one killer in every professional sports league, and this year's NBA has been particularly bad, with the West suffering more severely than the East. Not to mention the injuries of the last eight teams, let's talk about the top eight teams that entered the playoffs, Bynum on the Lakers' side was injured for nearly 20 games, Gasol was injured for nearly 10 games, Maddy of the Rockets and Oden of the Trail Blazers are not to mention, and the injuries of Ginobili and Parker on the Spurs side are more serious, otherwise the second place in the West will not be the turn of the Warriors.

In addition to that, the Mavericks' Josh Howard, the Hornets' Chandler and Peja, and of course not forgetting the Warriors' Billups, almost every team has star players who have been absent from games for long periods of time, which has also had a huge impact on the ranking of the West, otherwise, the record in the East this year would not be ordinarily ugly.

Chamberlain sat in the arena for a while, and Jackson walked in with a gangster pretending to be a handbag, and he asked, "What are you doing here?" Zen meditation? ”

"Do you still know about Zen meditation?" Chamberlain laughed, that's the influence of a superstar, because of him, more fans and even players in the NBA are going to learn about Chinese culture, especially after he slashed 60+30+10.

Jackson said triumphantly, "Of course I know, the pastor is in Zen, right?" You Chinese pastors like to sit and think about the philosophy of life, and call this meditation, right? Ha, recently I was studying Chinese culture, because when the summer vacation was off, I was going to Shaolin Temple as a guest, and their public relations department invited me to visit, and there were several Chinese brands that asked me to shoot commercials. ”

Chamberlain gave a thumbs up and said enviously: "Yes, man, you are a winner in life, but what I am curious about is that you will not be fooled, right?" Shaolin Temple also has a PR department? How did I not know? Beware of being deceived by a cottage temple. ”

When it comes to copycat Chamberlain, he is depressed, these products have been killed in the United States, last time Billups suffered a loss, he casually wore a pair of shoes to play, and was heavily fined by Adidas, Billups was extremely angry, Lao Tzu spoke for you, what's wrong with wearing your sneakers? Later, when he took a closer look, he found that the shoes were called King Adidas, but the logo was really similar to Adidas......

Because of Chamberlain, the Warriors players have signed a lot of endorsement advertisements, including Morrow also received, counting carefully, Morrow found that he could get close to two million dollars for the endorsement fee alone, which is why he was willing to play as a substitute in the Warriors, with a lot of money and skills.

It's not just the players who follow suit, but the staff as well.

Chamberlain and Jackson had a meeting and joked, and the latter was carrying a small bag and dangling vigorously, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "I know, you have ten dollars in it and condoms, right?" You're going to fool those waiters, it's useless for us. ”

Jackson triumphantly unzipped, and a wad of hundred-dollar bills appeared in front of Chamberlain, who was surprised what he was doing with so much cash, but Jackson jumped on the rostrum and shouted: "Come to me after work, change, bonuses, and playoff bonuses!" ”

The enthusiasm of the staff has more than doubled immediately.

Chamberlain suddenly realized.

Unlike other tournaments in the NBA, players and staff are paid in the regular season, and playing the playoffs and finals is basically a battle for honor, so players who are not short of money are so keen on these games. But the players are okay, they still have the game bonuses and ticket sharing provided by the league, and the staff has nothing, so every year in the playoffs, the sixteen teams in the NBA will find the boss in the locker room to call on the players to donate to the staff to give bonuses.

Jackson paid it himself, and then asked Chamberlain and others for money later, who wouldn't give it? Hehe, he hasn't seen anyone who dares not to give him money.

Looking at the happy appearance of the staff, Chamberlain is also very happy, the playoffs are actually a festival, although the players will be very hard.

Billups came to the arena and waved, "Hey guys, come to the training gym after the prize money, we need to watch the game video and prepare for the game." ”

Chamberlain and Jackson rushed back to the training gym, where a game video was being replayed on a large screen of more than 50 inches.

A veteran proudly raised his right hand to greet the fans, and thunderous cheers came from the speakers.

"Shit, isn't this the Spurs? We're up against the Thunder tonight, right? Jackson said depressedly.

Old Nelson waved his hand indifferently and said: "Don't worry about the Thunder, we are going to start studying the Spurs now, and the Spurs are our first opponent!" As for those lads in Oklahoma? They're here to warm you up, and I'll give you four games to send them home, and of course, if you want to have a play, you can play five, up to five, no more! ”

The Spurs are third in the West and the Warriors are second in the West, and according to NBA playoff rules, the two of them are basically going to meet in the second round.

In terms of the competition system, the first round of the playoffs is basically the most suspenseful game, if you want to create a zào black miracle, it is too difficult, there is no shortage of black eight black seven miracles in NBA history, the Warriors have staged twice, but even then, compared to the NBA's thousands of playoff games, the miracle of black eight black seven is still only a handful.

If the teams at the bottom of the table want to win against their opponents, don't expect coincidences, because there are seven matches in each round! They have to find the fatal flaws of their opponents, especially in the second and third rounds, and the team has to study them carefully, and one of their small shortcomings could be their big chance of progressing.

Nelson Sr. led the players to study the Spurs, and it is no surprise that these two teams will have to stage a peak showdown in the Western Conference semifinals, and the Warriors eliminated the Spurs in that round last season, and this year's Spurs will definitely take revenge.

"Watch out for their veterans, bunnies, those old guys have to be held up for their old peeing, but they're definitely going to cause you a lot of trouble in the playoffs, look at the last two games, San Antonio is just like us, they didn't play to their full strength in the playoffs!" Old Nelson said, pointing to the screen.

The veteran who raised his hand on the screen just now to greet the fans was not Duncan, but Finley, the 36-year-old guy performed miracles twice in three days, in the penultimate game of the regular season, he scored a lethal three-pointer 1 second before the end of the Cleveland game to give the little emperor the first home defeat, forcing James to play the whole court, and then the Warriors returned with a big victory.

The little emperor played the Spurs when he was just dead, originally that game had no impact on them who had locked the league's first record, and the Spurs didn't grab MVP for him, the reason why the little emperor was so desperate was because he was defending the honor of being undefeated at home! Yes, it's scary, this season's Cavaliers, before losing to the Spurs, they maintained a near-miraculous unbeaten home game!

After the Spurs were killed, they returned to the ATT arena, and in the last game of the regular season at home, the Spurs faced the Mavericks, this game was the most pressing battle in the closing game, because before the game, the Spurs were 54 wins and the Mavericks won 53 wins, if the Mavericks won it was 53 wins, and it was necessary to count the wins to determine the Western rankings, and the Spurs and Mavericks played each other four times in the regular season, and the Mavericks won three times!

This time Finley made another meritorious contribution, three seconds before the end of the game, they also trailed by three points at 87-90, and after a timeout, he received a pass from his teammates and shot directly from a three-point shot, hollow shot, 90 draw! Later, in overtime, although Finley's table was flat, they were able to win in the end, thanks to his life-saving three points.

"These two teams are so stubborn!" Looking at the full-court tactical replay, Iverson kept shaking his head, "The bull-horse battle is really a classic, I bet the fans want the Mavericks to kill the Lakers in the second round and then the Spurs to kill us and stage a good show of the bull-horse war, isn't it?" ”

"Give the Mavericks to Kobe, and we'll just take care of the Spurs." Nelson Sr. said.

Iverson immediately said: "I know, the Spurs are very powerful, you find a way to get the Spurs, I will get Kobe Bryant in the finals!" ”

"Ambitious! I hope you're not just talking. Jackson gave Iverson a thumbs up and praised him, he used to be the one who played against Kobe, and he was abused to death every time.

Nelson Sr. carefully sorted out the Spurs' games this season, including all the games where GDP was absent, and he edited them together episode by episode for the players to watch, just to better understand this opponent and kill this opponent.

As for the Lakers? That's a fierce rival, but what they have to do now is to find a way to kill the spurs first, otherwise there will be no dragon slaying skills, and there will be a fart.

The Thunder team is also carefully studying the Warriors tactics, and the more they study these people, the more drums are beating in their hearts, not because of fear, but because of doubt, what JB tactics is this arranged by old Nelson? Thunder up and down the study is confused.

Just like college students always feel like the week before the exam goes by really fast, the Thunder feel that way, as they seem to have just landed in San Francisco and started playing.

The Warriors' home atmosphere is well-known throughout the NBA, and the Thunder have already learned it in the regular season, and they felt unbearable at the time, and this time, what awaits them is the playoffs!

According to the rules, the visiting team played first, and as soon as the Thunder players walked out of the aisle, it was like a red-hot soldering iron falling into the icy water, and the previously quiet Oracle Center arena suddenly boiled, and the fans booed like a hurricane rolling towards the players.

Durant was the last to play and received extra care, the fans on both sides of the tunnel stretched out their hands to him, Du Dashao thought that these guys were going to applaud him, so he stretched out his hand very gracefully, but the fans changed their gestures halfway and changed to a vertical middle finger, which made Du Dashao extremely depressed.

Today, all seats in the arena have been replaced with gold seat covers, and each chair is printed with the bold "We-Believe-We-Can-Do-It". With its golden stands, golden seats, and golden floors, the entire Oracle Arena seems to have become a golden city in Inca mythology.

In addition, the fans wore custom-made gold jerseys, which was Carvalro's idea, and he spent a small amount of money to hire some editors of sports forums to call on fans to buy champion-brand jerseys, and hired a group of sailors to respond, and the result was that the champion's jerseys were on sale.

Carvalro is indeed a good businessman, he is not just selling jerseys, each set of jerseys is also equipped with a brilliant and dazzling inflatable gas stick, fans wearing gold T-shirts and shaking gold gas sticks, it is indeed very professional.
