warrior godfather

Chapter 322
January 1, Huaxia, Beijing.

In the apartment he rented, Liu Zhiyuan moved his fingers like flying, tapping the keyboard very rhythmically, and lines of words flowed out from under his fingers:

"The Warriors have won 6 consecutive victories, with a margin of more than 10 points in each game, ranking first in the Western Conference and the league. Matching their record, the Warriors rank first in the league in terms of offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. One, the hottest team in the league."

"Curry continued the state of last season, averaging 27.5 points, 8.7 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game. At present, the only obstacle preventing him from winning the scoring title is too little playing time. However, if this continues, Curry should directly It's time to hit the MVP, and the assist king should also be included in his consideration."

"Butler played 82 regular season games with full attendance last season, and only scored 7 points in 20 games. He played 6 games in the new season. Butler has scored 3+ in 20 games. He has shown a very comprehensive persistence on the court. Ball offensive skills, he seems to have evolved into a swingman who combines offense and defense, but the sample is still a bit small and needs to be observed through more games."

"Clay's three-pointers are very precise. In these six games, he averaged 6% of his shots and made 45.3 three-pointers per game. From the perspective of comprehensive production efficiency, he ranked second in the league, while the first-ranked It was Curry, who was able to hit 3.4% of the shots and averaged 46.7 three-pointers per game, which is a very scary number."

"Of course, the Warriors were able to win six consecutive victories in such a tight schedule. Except for the Splash Brothers and Butler, the performance of others is also very important. The shooting of the young Warriors is more stable. They bear the same burden as last season. The same responsibilities, but the difference is that the strength has made rapid progress, and the cooperation between each other is very tacit, this is the most surprising thing..."

"The Warriors can play such a terrifying performance, probably because there are many young players in their team, who are better than other teams in terms of enthusiasm and vitality. After all, another Thunder team with many young people is also ranked second in the Western Conference. Then As the season progresses and other teams get back to their form, their record may slip, but based on the Warriors' current state, I think they will win the game."

"Before this game, the Lakers only had a record of 4 wins and 4 losses. Kobe averaged 28.4 points per game, but his efficiency was much lower than last season. He only shot 43% from the field and 30% from the field. The three-point shooting rate. Although Kobe’s average time per game has increased by 5 minutes and 3 more shots, it is unacceptable for his efficiency to drop to this level. The 34-year-old Kobe may have ushered in an inflection point in his career. .”

"In addition to Kobe's decline, the Lakers' lineup is one year older as a whole, and their rotation has also been downgraded. Odom and Shannon Brown left the Lakers. Gasol and Bynum did not recover from last season. State, so, I think the Lakers will lose this contest with the Warriors, and it will take a long time for them to get back the feeling of winning the championship season."

pat.

Liu Zhiyuan hit the space bar for the last time to complete this preview article for the Warriors and Lakers game.

He checked the content of the text, modified several places where the semantics were not smooth and typos appeared, and published it on Hupu.

In the second half of the regular season last season, he started to write basketball analysis articles, and he has persisted until now. His reputation on Hupu is getting bigger and bigger, and he has many loyal fans.

Soon, a few more comments appeared below the article:

"Damn it, the boss is a high-yielding sow, after writing the review and writing the preview, I love it!"

"Praise first, then look after the habit~"

"Sofa sofa, I'm the first!"

Looking at those familiar IDs, Liu Zhiyuan showed a smile on his face.

These people are his loyal readers who "live" in Hupu. As soon as he posts an article, several people will come to read it immediately, and the content of the comments is also very friendly.

But in the future, as more and more passers-by click into the post, the content of the comments will gradually become "rich and colorful".

Mamba style:

"Curry MVP? Is the host living in a dream? Do you really think everyone is Rose? Rose's MVP is a breakthrough. How is Curry going to get the MVP? Is he going to shoot outside? The NBA has not won the MVP by three-pointers Yep, Curry is going to make history."

Samurai:

"Hehe, the Warriors are now ranked No. [-] in the league, and Curry's statistics are good. Looking ahead, what's wrong with the MVP? What about you X?"

beer bottle:
"It's too long to watch, the Lakers championship, Kobe is not a guard who can only shoot three-pointers. On a par with Kobe?"

Sentimental:

"Are you still talking about Kobe? They were swept by the Mavericks, and they didn't even make it to the Western Conference Finals! If you don't understand, just ask, now the Warriors are ranked first in the Western Conference, where is the Lakers ranked?"

Purple and Gold Army:

"Don't blow it up, just rely on Curry's three-pointer, the playoffs will definitely not go far! That is to say, after the Grizzlies' black eight last season, they only made it to the Western Conference Finals once, and the Warriors fans drifted away. Right? Kobe is the king of the Western Conference Finals! When Kobe played the Western Conference Finals, Curry was still in elementary school!"

Curry Chef:

"No, why did I see a lot of Kobe fans criticize Curry when I came in? Curry is playing so well now, no matter what the Warriors' record is in the future, is it not good to look at the MVP? Why are Kobe fans so lenient?"

Xiao Fei Fei Fei Xia:

"Because Curry doesn't deserve MVP at all, this is speaking out of justice, you understand?"

Curry Chef:

"Then why don't James fans, Wade fans, Rose fans come and speak out?"

Monocle:

"Because Curry robbed Kobe for a while and blocked Kobe's way. Curry hasn't blocked James' way. If the Warriors and the Heat meet in the finals, see if James fans will 'speak up'!"

……

May 1, Los Angeles, Staples Center.

The time in Washington was one day later than the time in Beijing. The Warriors came to the Staples Center to challenge the Lakers on the second day after Liu Zhiyuan finished his preview.

On the field, the players of the two teams occupied half of the field and were warming up before the game. The audience entered the field one after another. Many people came to the sidelines from their seats on the "top of the mountain" and watched the warm-up of both sides with great interest.

Among them, most of the audience were attracted by the Warriors' warm-up. They watched Curry shoot farther and farther, retreating from the free throw line to the Lakers logo, one after another ultra-long three-pointer hollow into the net, amazed, and warm applause followed.

Behind the Warriors' bench, Ayesha was also smiling happily and applauding Curry vigorously.

She didn't come to date Curry this time while Curry was playing the Lakers. She came to Los Angeles from the Bay Area to watch this game and remember the years she spent here. The toughest years.

On July 7, Ayesha and Curry ended their four-year long love run, held a grand wedding in their hometown of Charlotte, and entered the palace of marriage.

After getting married, Ayesha gave up the pursuit of acting career, moved to the Bay Area, lived with Curry, and became a housewife.

Due to the lockout regulations of the league, once the strike begins, players cannot contact anyone with a work contract in the league, including team owners, management personnel, and any other staff. The concept of this contact includes meeting, calling, Texting or emailing etc.

Yao Ming once explained in an interview that after the strike started, the two parties could not even appear in the same restaurant, even if they were not at the same table.

So Zhang Yu was unable to attend Curry's wedding at that time, but just called him to congratulate him.

This is why when Zhang Yu formed the Miami training camp, he did not notify all the players, but only contacted Curry, Yi Jianlian and Butler, asking them to invite teammates to the training camp.

Curry, Butler, and Yi Jianlian are the people Zhang Yu trusts the most. They will never disclose Zhang Yu's private contact with them, and others may not.

Although all the young Warriors players participated in the training camp in the end, no one knew what they were thinking. Zhang Yu never thought that he had an extraordinary charisma. All the Warriors players obeyed his advice and had to be careful.

However, although Zhang Yu missed the wedding of Curry and Ayesha, he still gave him a gift, a pair of high-end golf equipment, and a set of very high-end kitchen utensils.

Curry likes golf and Ayesha likes cooking. The two love these two gifts very much and are full of praise.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu heard Ayesha's shout behind him, turned around, walked towards him, and said with a smile:
"Ayesha, you didn't do anything to Stephen last night, did you? I was counting on him to score high and lead the Warriors to victory!"

"Of course not. He's been in the hotel all the time. Ronan, you're too strict. I called him several times and asked him to come out to accompany me, but he didn't come!" Ayesha said.

She has a bold and cheerful personality, and like Curry, she is an optimist.

Zhang Yu laughed:
"Don't worry, after playing the Jazz tomorrow, we have two days to rest. Then I will give the team a vacation and let Stephen spend a day with you!"

Ayesha's eyes brightened, and she smiled sweetly:
"Thank you, Ronan, you are welcome to come to my house as a guest. I have researched a few new dishes, and they taste very good."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said:
"I won't disturb your two-person world, but I hope that Stephen can retain some physical fitness, not like when the training camp started last month, he became a soft-legged shrimp...We still have a lot of games to come Playing, the schedule of the shortened season is too tight."

No matter how cheerful Ayesha was, she still blushed when she heard what Zhang Yu implied, and nodded embarrassingly:

"I see, Ronan, we will pay attention."

Not long after she and Curry got married, Curry returned to the Miami training camp and continued to train. He only returned to Charlotte once a month. Sha followed Curry to the Bay Area and moved into a new home.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married. After leaving both parents, there is a strong passion between the young couple. When Li came to the training camp to report, his state was very sluggish.

Zhang Yu was furious, reprimanded Curry severely, and arranged a lot of extra training for him, so that he could only go home after exhausting his energy on the training ground every day.

He generally does not interfere with the private lives of the Warriors players, that is their freedom, but he never allows the private lives of the Warriors players to affect training and games.

The Warriors have always had a rule that they can't go to nightclubs during games, especially during road games.

This is commonplace in other teams. There are even superstar players who fly to Las Vegas alone for a night of carnival before an away game, and then rejoin the team for a game the next day. His state and performance in the game It is also conceivable.

But Zhang Yu has zero tolerance for this kind of thing. He clearly told the Warriors players that if anyone dared to go to a nightclub to party the night before the game, no matter who it was, they would be banned from the team.

Since the promulgation of this regulation, Zhang Yu has been waiting for an opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys.

But after he took over the Warriors, he drastically changed the lineup. When he came up, he dismantled the team first, and sent away all that could be sent away. The players were awed by his courage. Most of the Warriors were low-ranked rookies. I am grateful for Zhang Yu's kindness in draft training. At present, no one has dared to challenge his authority. After Zhang Yu established this rule, he has not punished anyone.

While Zhang Yu was chatting with Ayesha, on the other side of the technical table, Lakers head coach Mike Brown looked at the players from both sides who were warming up on the court with complicated expressions.

In the two halves of the court, there are completely different scenes.

The Lakers players were warming up very silently, with almost no communication with each other. Kobe was warming up for shooting with a gloomy expression.

On the other side of the Warriors half, the players were talking and laughing, everyone had a smile on their faces, and they were playing with each other. Curry also randomly "grabbed" his teammates around him, and played football and volleyball with basketballs. , bowling and golf, but they don’t play basketball anyway, which caused the audience on the sidelines to burst into laughter, and the Warriors players also booed beside them, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Mike Brown sighed and shook his head slightly.

Victory will eliminate all problems, and failure will lead to many contradictions.

The unfavorable start of the Lakers had a great impact on the atmosphere in the team. Everyone knew that Kobe was dissatisfied with the team's recent performance, and no one dared to touch his bad luck.

Mike Brown can also feel that after 4 wins and 4 losses, the Lakers players are faintly dissatisfied with him, the new coach who has not yet established authority, but he has not yet expressed it publicly.

　Make up for yesterday's.
