Chapter 448 The blood is boiling
Larry Riley pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I don't know. The last time the Lakers formed a four-star team, although they failed to win the championship, they also reached the finals. Their lineup this time has many similarities with that time, but it has weakened a lot. It's hard to say... ..."
Zhang Yu shook his head and said:
"You are wrong. This is not a weakened version. The two four-star teams of the Lakers cannot be compared at all. Nash does not have Payton's defense, Howard does not have O'Neal's offense, and Gasol's defense is much worse than Malone. The Lakers This lineup looks luxurious, but it doesn't fit well, and there will definitely be problems when the time comes."
"If the Lakers continue to strengthen on the basis of last season's lineup, they may still be able to make a difference in the playoffs, but the old Bass is too eager for quick success. The championship cannot be obtained by stacking stars. Faint tricks, self-destruction of the Great Wall, next season there is no need to worry about the Lakers, they can't threaten us."
"I heard that old Buss is not in good health, and he wants to watch the Lakers win another championship, so he made this decision..." Larry Riley's tone was a little uncertain.
"It's just that caring makes chaos, but it's a pity for Kobe..." Zhang Yu shook his head and said in a low voice with a little regret.
"Kobe? The Lakers are taking advantage of his last peak period to give it a try. What is there to regret about him?" Larry Riley wondered.
"It's nothing, I'm just expressing my feelings. The last few years of Kobe's career were not going well. It's really rare for a star like Jordan to end up with three consecutive championships." Zhang Yu restrained his emotions and looked normal.
"Ronan, Jordan came back with the Wizards later." Larry Riley reminded
"If you don't mention it, I really forgot. It seems that the god of basketball also makes mistakes." Zhang Yu shook his head and laughed.
Larry Riley said with emotion:
"In this league, only superstars can control their own destiny, but when the superstars get old and their strength declines, they can't control their destiny. In the final analysis, strength is the first. Whoever has strength has the right to speak. , Didn’t O’Neill wander around in the twilight of his career?”
Zhang Yu nodded and said:
"That's right, fortunately we have Stephen. He doesn't have a strong sense of self like Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe, and wants to control everything in his own hands."
"Who made him meet you? You trained him all the way, and he got everything in a short period of time, data, big contracts, honors, you can give him what he wants, why should he control everything ?” Larry Riley laughed.
Zhang Yu laughed, glanced at his watch, and stood up:
"Let's go, Stephen and the others should all be here, right? I want to see if they have practiced well in the past summer. If they keep lying on the credit book, they will never become great players!"
……
"Hi boss, long time no see!"
"Coach, good morning!"
"Ronan..."
When Zhang Yu came to the locker room, the Warriors players had already arrived and greeted him one after another.
Zhang Yu smiled and responded one by one. His eyes swept over everyone and found that no one was obviously fat. The players were all in good shape and in good spirits. He nodded with satisfaction.
Like last season, under Zhang Yu's instruction, Larry Riley did not give a training camp contract, and all the training camp players were guaranteed contracts.
This is unique in the entire league. Other teams will have trade-offs in the selection of marginal players. After all, every lineup spot is very precious. Nice lottery ticket scratch off.
But Zhang Yu doesn't have this concern. Every year, the leftovers of the draft are in his mind. He doesn't need to scratch the lottery ticket, and he doesn't need to use the training camp contract to inspect players.
Afterwards, Zhang Yu introduced the team's new first assistant coach Cole to the players. Everyone is familiar with him as a champion shooter and expressed a warm welcome to his arrival.
Cole also showed a very high emotional intelligence. He started with the Warriors winning the championship last season and told the story of his winning shot in G1997 of the 6 Finals:
"...At that time, with 6.8 seconds left in the game, we tied the Jazz at 86, and the last attack was in our hands. In the previous game, Michael played the classic 'flu battle' to help the team. The score is 3:2 lead...Phil called a timeout, and Michael suddenly found me and said to me: Hey, Steve, if Stockton jumps up to double-team me, I will pass the ball to you. I heard I was in total shock, let's just say, I almost pulled my pants down, oh wait, can I say that?"
"Hahaha……"
The players looked at Cole's embarrassing expression and laughed up and down. The atmosphere in the locker room became very relaxed. Cole smiled and waited for a while before continuing:
"I was like, oh my god, Michael said to pass me the ball? What if I miss the shot? You know, I shot 30% in the finals! But I just a few minutes ago Hit a tying three and it gave me a little bit of confidence..."
The Warriors players who just won the championship have a deep understanding of the difficulty of winning the championship. They all held their breath and listened attentively to Cole's narration.
"Then, we came out and Stockton double-teamed Michael, he's done it in Game 3 and Game 4, he's got a steal on Michael, but this time, I was ready to catch the ball and Michael was double-teamed. After that, the ball was passed to me immediately, I caught the ball and hit the ball, and then the whole audience went crazy, just like you guys were crazy when you won the championship at home this year, Michael rushed over immediately and touched me The head said to me: I knew it, you can do it!"
Cole spoke eloquently, with a deep and magnetic voice, the Warriors are the champions, but the Bulls are legends, and Cole is also a part of the legend. Listening to his narration, the players felt a heavy breath of history blowing over their faces. They all showed fascination.
Zhang Yu and the rest of the coaching staff also stood aside, quietly listening to Cole's narration. Finally, Cole smiled and said:
"The reason why I joined the Warriors was of course because of Ronan's kind invitation. After all, no one in this world would refuse a decent high-paying job..."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed again, the atmosphere in the locker room became more relaxed, and the smile on Cole's face became more intense:
"On the other hand, I see the potential of the Warriors. We have Steph, we have Jimmy, we have Tyson, we have Klay, we have Drummond... I see great potential in each of you, not only The potential of a championship. Believe me, I have a unique sense of championship, otherwise I would not have so many rings... I see the possibility of becoming the second bull in the Warriors, I hope to join Come in and join us, under the leadership of Ronan, win more championships and create a dynasty that belongs to the Warriors!"
clap clap clap!
After Cole finished speaking, everyone applauded vigorously. His words were both humorous and sincere, which won the favor of the Warriors players. Cole smiled and nodded in response. He knew that he had initially integrated into the Warriors.
After the applause gradually subsided, Zhang Yu took two steps forward, and everyone's eyes shifted to him. Zhang Yu spread his hands and said:
"Why did it stop? I thought Steve was the head coach. When I was the head coach, I didn't have this kind of treatment!"
Curry said loudly:
"Boss, when you became the head coach, only Jimmy and I were chosen by you. The others were afraid of being traded away by you. Who would welcome you!"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed, and Zhang Yu couldn't help laughing:
"Well, it seems that everyone likes good guys and doesn't like bad guys, but let me tell you, Steve is not an abusive guy, he is a man who dares to fight Jordan! From now on, Steve will be mainly responsible for the team's offensive system You have to respect him as much as you respect Coach Silas, understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Yu smiled with satisfaction:
"Okay, let's go to the physical test first, and then officially start the training. We are now the defending champions and the public enemies of the league. Let's cheer up. I don't want to be swept out like the Lakers and Mavericks, and I will lose face Already!"
"Don't worry, boss, we are different from those old guys, we want to win the championship!"
"That's right, I trained hard all summer, and I will never embarrass you, boss!"
"It's only for us to sweep others away, and it's not for others to sweep us away!"
Everyone let out bold words one after another, and the momentum was soaring. Zhang Yu and Cole looked at each other and laughed. Cole sighed:
"Full of vigor! This season, our performance will definitely not be bad!"
……
The physical test ended soon. Except for the three centers, Chandler, Whiteside and Turiaf, who were in average physical condition and had a high body fat percentage, everyone else was in good physical condition. Even if they went to China to participate Curry, who was active, did not let go of training.
Clay, Green, Leonard, Parsons and other second- and third-year players have all gained a lot of weight, and their confrontation ability, strength, and speed have all improved to varying degrees. Middleton, JaMychal Green, Bazemore The bodies of these three rookies are still a little thin, but the summer training is also very hard. With a little tempering, they will soon be able to adapt to NBA-level confrontation.
Afterwards, the Warriors began to practice new tactics. When Zhang Yu announced that the new season would increase the proportion of Curry's offense without the ball, except for Curry's expression as usual, the expressions of everyone else were a little bit surprised.
Curry, who just won the scoring champion + MVP + FMVP last season, will play more off the ball in the new season?
The players looked at Curry in unison, watching his reaction, and the three rookies Middleton, Bazemore and JaMychal Green were particularly surprised.
They saw in the summer league that fringe players turned into lone wolves for the ball and statistics, wishing not to pass a single ball. Leonard, Thomas Jr. and Parsons in the team had the most senior qualifications, and they did their part to control With the Warriors' possession of the ball, Curry, as a superstar, will be assigned so many off-ball tactics, which subverts their cognition!
What shocked them even more was that Curry greeted everyone's eyes, nodded with a smile, and said:
"What are you looking at me for? The boss has already said that this is the offensive adjustment of the team next season. Don't you want to?"
Everyone shook their heads, who wouldn't want to be able to participate more in the attack?It's just that this will make Curry hold the ball less, will Curry agree?
Curry laughed:
"Then train hard, master tactics early, and don't waste the opportunities I created for you!"
The three of Middleton finally confirmed that Curry is really willing to call out the ball and run without the ball by himself!
They looked at each other a few times, feeling that all this was so unreal.
The reaction of others was much smaller. After all, Curry didn't only play with the ball before, and he didn't run without the ball at all, but they were also very surprised.
According to Zhang Yu's description, Curry's off-ball ratio in the new season will increase significantly, and the ratio of offense with the ball is almost [-]-[-]. Which team's boss in the league will run so many off-ball?
Immediately afterwards, a burst of emotion rose from their hearts. Curry made such a big sacrifice, and they must play better performances, and they must not let Curry sacrifice in vain!
Knowing that he will have a lot more possessions next season, Green said:
"Stephen, don't worry, I will definitely pass the ball to you as soon as you run out of opportunities!"
Butler, who has increased the proportion of offense with the ball, also made a promise:
"Stephen, I have practiced passing the ball this summer, and your movement will definitely not be in vain!"
Chandler patted his chest and said loudly:
"Stephen, I'll cover you, you just have to run!"
Only then did the others suddenly realize, yes, Curry just decreased the possession of the ball, but the number of shots did not decrease but increased. After he reduced his holding of the ball, the opponent could no longer double-team him, and he would get more shooting opportunities.
And it's not that Curry stopped playing with the ball. At the critical moment, can Zhang Yu let him continue to run without the ball?
After figuring this out, there is only excitement left in everyone's hearts. The head star is willing to give up the ball and let all the role players participate in the offense. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it can only be for Curry. Passing the ball is also a brilliant addition to his resume. A role player who can handle the ball is not an ordinary role player!
And Zhang Yu made it very clear that Curry will involve the opponent's defense for them. As long as there is a chance, he can shoot or make an air cut. He will definitely get more easy scoring opportunities and his statistics will increase a lot.
This is thinking in their hearts, and everyone's blood boils, and they can't wait to throw themselves into the game in the next moment.
Zhang Yu looked at the eager players and said with a smile:
"I know you can't wait. I only ask you for one thing. Build up the awareness of sharing the ball, but don't shrink back. Whenever there is a good opportunity, you will make a decisive shot. No one can think about throwing the pot away. Just pass the ball." Don't shoot the ball, suck Stephen's blood, understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
"I don't know. The last time the Lakers formed a four-star team, although they failed to win the championship, they also reached the finals. Their lineup this time has many similarities with that time, but it has weakened a lot. It's hard to say... ..."
Zhang Yu shook his head and said:
"You are wrong. This is not a weakened version. The two four-star teams of the Lakers cannot be compared at all. Nash does not have Payton's defense, Howard does not have O'Neal's offense, and Gasol's defense is much worse than Malone. The Lakers This lineup looks luxurious, but it doesn't fit well, and there will definitely be problems when the time comes."
"If the Lakers continue to strengthen on the basis of last season's lineup, they may still be able to make a difference in the playoffs, but the old Bass is too eager for quick success. The championship cannot be obtained by stacking stars. Faint tricks, self-destruction of the Great Wall, next season there is no need to worry about the Lakers, they can't threaten us."
"I heard that old Buss is not in good health, and he wants to watch the Lakers win another championship, so he made this decision..." Larry Riley's tone was a little uncertain.
"It's just that caring makes chaos, but it's a pity for Kobe..." Zhang Yu shook his head and said in a low voice with a little regret.
"Kobe? The Lakers are taking advantage of his last peak period to give it a try. What is there to regret about him?" Larry Riley wondered.
"It's nothing, I'm just expressing my feelings. The last few years of Kobe's career were not going well. It's really rare for a star like Jordan to end up with three consecutive championships." Zhang Yu restrained his emotions and looked normal.
