warrior godfather

In the game against the Nuggets, the Warriors were the same as the previous games. The first half was dominated by passing and cutting. Curry habitually handed over the ball and ran without the ball, looking for easy scoring opportunities. Teammates involved the Nuggets' defense.

The other players of the Warriors did not waste Curry's excellent running positions. After six games, they have gradually cultivated the habit of always paying attention to Curry's position, and the Nuggets' defense is relatively simple, mainly man-to-man, and the defense is holistic. Not strong, in the face of the Warriors' complex running positions, there are often communication errors, giving the Warriors the opportunity to open shots and cut to the basket.

Curry's unpredictable running positions are especially difficult for the Nuggets. His shooting speed is too fast, his range is too long, and his running is too flexible. As long as he moves, he can completely disrupt the Nuggets' defensive formation.

The most important thing is that he is not only good at running without the ball, the Nuggets must also always beware of him suddenly holding the ball to the basket after receiving the ball from beyond the three-point line, and not daring to stick it too tightly.

On one possession, Curry ran to the corner, received a pass, got blocked by two guys, and was able to slam the ball through the gap to a teammate who cut to the basket.

Curry has both the ball and the ball, and the offensive threat is too great. Regardless of whether he has the ball in his hand or not, the Nuggets have to focus on him at all times, and the defense against others will naturally relax a lot. There are many opportunities for other players.

The Warriors' offense played smoothly, but the Nuggets' offense hit a wall.

They are a team with very scattered offensive points. The starting five players can attack, which makes them appear to be strong points everywhere when they are against teams with average defense, with sharp counterattacks and smooth offense.

But in the face of a team with few defensive weaknesses like the Warriors and a team whose defense at five positions is above the league average, the Nuggets' offense appears to be struggling.

Ty Lawson doesn't have much of a physical advantage in front of Curry, but his confrontation is slightly stronger and his scoring efficiency is average. However, under the Warriors' strategy of unlimited defense changes, it is difficult for him to drive the team's overall offense.

Wilson Chandler struggled to score every time with Klay's impeccable defense.

Iguodala's restrictions on Butler are excellent, but looking back, he lacks excellent scoring methods and it is difficult to break through Butler's defense. The two formed a pair.

Gallinari's footsteps are slow, and his breakthrough ability is average. After Green reduced the defense, he imposed a strong confrontation on Gallinari, effectively limiting the Italian's offense.

Kenneth Faried is the most uncomfortable. He is a brutalist center who relies on his body and passion to play, very similar to his predecessor Nene Hilario.

And what Chandler is most afraid of is this kind of brutalist center. He himself has the league's top physical talent, a keen sense of defense and rich defensive experience. Except for a center with better physical fitness like Howard, other so-called The center forward of "The Fauvism" is not in his eyes at all.

In this game, Faried was completely locked up by him, and he could hardly find a chance to score, so he could only steal a few points by relying on the second attack.

With the opponents suppressed on both ends of the offense and defense, the Warriors had the upper hand after the start. After the first half, they led the Nuggets by 62 points at 52:10 and entered the intermission.

The Warriors led the Nuggets by 12 points in the first quarter, and they shrank after the second quarter, all because of the wave in the second quarter.

Curry played tricks a few times and missed two consecutive ultra-long three-pointers. Green wanted to show off his passing. He passed three people to Chandler in the penalty area and was directly intercepted. The team as a whole The defense has also become a lot lazy.

The Nuggets seized the opportunity to fight back several times, and quickly narrowed the original point difference of more than 15 points to about 10 points.

It is difficult for them to break the Warriors' defense in the offensive position, but the counterattack is very sharp, which is not much better than the Warriors. After all, the name of "Denver Athletics" is not called for nothing.

The attack waves played by the Nuggets made the Warriors fans gradually quiet down. The atmosphere in the Oracle Center became more and more depressed. The morale of the Warriors also dropped a lot in the continuous counterattacks of the Nuggets.

Fortunately, the first half came to an end at this time, and soon entered the intermission.

After the slightly silent Warriors returned to the locker room, Zhang Yu said a few words coldly with a gloomy face.

He didn't lose his temper, but told the whole team that if they were overthrown by the Nuggets with such a big advantage, they would forget about taking a one-day vacation after the back-to-back.

As soon as Zhang Yu said this, it was more useful than any criticism. The morale of the team immediately became high. Everyone patted their chests and said that they must win the Nuggets!
Zhang Yu also adjusted his tactics at the right time, allowing Curry to play with the ball in the third quarter. He didn't want to drag the game to the fourth quarter and give the Nuggets any chance to comeback.

After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors' offense unfolded like quicksilver, sweeping the audience.

Curry opened fire with full firepower, launching pick-and-rolls continuously, aiming at Gallinari's weakness of slow pace, small-scale military training, and the efficiency is extremely high.

Out of joy, he also singled Ty Lawson a few balls, and one of them was a post-up single by taking advantage of his height, which completely ignited the atmosphere in the Oracle Center.

On the defensive end, the Warriors also used all their strength, with extremely fast rotation speed and strong defensive aggression. They successfully counterattacked with multiple steals and quickly opened up the score.

After the third quarter, the Warriors beat the Nuggets by 11 points in a single quarter, leading by 95 points 74:23, completely grasping the initiative and almost killing the suspense of the game.

In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets had no fighting spirit to resist. The offense was sloppy and the defense was lifeless. The main force of the Warriors clocked in three quarters again.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Nuggets by 116 points 96:20, winning seven consecutive victories!
库里全场出战30分钟，19投11中，三分9投5中，罚球4中3，砍下30分7助攻5篮板2抢断，其中第三节单节砍下15分，一举奠定了胜势。

克莱的表现仅次于库里，他15投7中，三分9中4，罚球2中2，砍下20分3助攻4篮板1封盖1抢断，是勇士上半场最重要的进攻点。

Butler was a little quiet under Iguodala's defense, only scoring 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, but he also allowed Iguodala to only get 8 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, the most important striker of the two teams The players, the Warriors and Curry and Clay are obviously more advantageous.

格林7投3中，三分5中2，没有发球，得到8分7篮板5助攻2封盖1抢断的经典五单数据。

The Nuggets attach great importance to the defense of the inside, and Green can only score points by piecemeal three-pointers.

Leonard is still the same as in the previous games. After playing, he hits a few mid-range shots when he has the opportunity, but the efficiency is not high.

他11投4中，三分4中2，罚球2中1，得到11分5篮板1助攻3抢断，进攻主要靠定点三分，防守一如既往的顶级。

If Leonard wants to practice stable and efficient mid-range singles, he still needs a long distance.

But Zhang Yu is not worried about this at all. Leonard can evolve from a 3D player to a super striker with both offense and defense in a team that is extremely reasonable like the Spurs. The environment of the Warriors is much looser than that of the Spurs. Leonard If you have enough ball rights to hone your singles, you will definitely be able to practice earlier and be stronger than in the Spurs.

……

After defeating the Nuggets, the Warriors ushered in their first rest period since the start of the game. They will have three days off. Zhang Yu fulfilled his promise and gave the whole team a day off. The players cheered.

Seven consecutive victories are not so easy to win. In the past twelve days, the Warriors have played seven games, with an average of one game every other day. The home and away games are also staggered. The three-day rest day came just right.

However, not everyone chose to take a vacation.

As a substitute, Leonard only needs to play a little over 20 minutes per game, and he is still in very good condition.

After he returned to Oakland, he only rested for one night, and he came to the training ground non-stop the next day and devoted himself to training.

Although Leonard is taciturn, he is a very smart person.

He knew what it meant to give Zhang Yu the ball and let him practice singles even though the team had a first-class striker.

Butler is now very popular, but it is not impossible for him to become a starter, otherwise Zhang Yu would not let a 3D player who has never shown the ability to attack with the ball practice a lot of singles.

For Leonard, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must firmly grasp it.

……

One day later, the Warriors players ended their vacation and resumed training. Leonard also reduced his mid-range training and continued to improve his defense and three-pointers. This is what he is now based on.

But what surprised everyone was that Zhang Yu did not appear on the sidelines of the training field, but Cole was in charge of the team's training.

Curry asked suspiciously:

"Steve, why isn't the boss here?"

Cole spread his hands helplessly, and said:

"Don't ask me, I don't know, he just called me and asked me to be in charge of the two days of training, and he will be back before the next game starts."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and Curry and Butler were even more surprised.

They have followed Zhang Yu for five or six years. No matter whether it is in the Bulldogs or the Warriors, Zhang Yu has never missed a game or training, not even when he was sick. This is the first time he has missed training because of his own affairs.

"Okay, let's start training. Ronan just has some things to deal with. He will be back the day after tomorrow. I can't help but worry..." Cole clapped his hands and began to arrange today's training tasks.

Everyone could only suppress the speculation in their hearts, and put into the training with doubts.

……

Two days later, on September 11th.

After eight o'clock in the morning, the Warriors players walked into the Oracle Center one after another, came to the locker room, chatted while changing clothes, and prepared for the upcoming training.

"Hey, Clay, did you go to a nightclub yesterday? I saw a person posted a photo of you in a nightclub on ins. Is that girl a Hispanic? Looks pretty good..." Green moved closer to Ke Beside Lai, asked a little mysteriously.

"How is that possible? I went there the day before yesterday. Don't talk nonsense. If the boss hears about it, it will be another trouble." Clay quickly denied it.

"It's okay, the boss hasn't come back yet, tell me, which nightclub you went to..." Green urged.

Chandler also came over and said loudly:

"That's right, is there anything you can't say? You don't want to eat alone, do you?"

Others also looked over, and Parsons booed:
"Come on, Clay, maybe we went to the same nightclub!"

Clay said helplessly:
"There's really nothing to say, I just went to 'Asia SF' after training the day before yesterday - you all know it? It's the one with Thai people dancing...don't look at me like that! I'm going to drink Yes, I'm not interested in those Thai people at all! I met a fan, and she was very enthusiastic to take a photo with me, and then we drank some wine..."

Just as Clay was talking about his trip to the nightclub, a mocking voice sounded at the door of the locker room:
"Just drinking? That's not like you, Clay."

After hearing this, everyone who was enthralled turned their heads to look at the door, only to see Zhang Yu striding into the locker room wearing a training uniform, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

"Boss! You're finally back, why don't you answer the phone? Are you sick? Is it okay?" Curry stood up slowly, and ran to Zhang Yu's side in three steps at a time, looking him up and down, anxious asked aloud.

Zhang Yu smiled and said:

"I'm not sick, I'm just busy with something. It took two days and I'm done now."

Others also greeted Zhang Yu one after another. The main coaches Ron Adams and Cole nodded to Zhang Yu and left time for the players.

Butler asked doubtfully:
"Boss, what can make you ignore training?"

Little Thomas said:

"Boss, I'm not used to it without you watching during training... Oh, sorry, Steve, I didn't mean you were sorry..."

"It's okay, I understand your thoughts, after all, I'm just a rookie coach, no, a rookie assistant coach, of course I'm much worse than Ronan..."

Little Thomas quickly explained:
"Oh no, Steve, you trust me, I really didn't mean that..."

"Hahaha, Isaiah, don't explain, that's what you mean!"

"Steve, you have to arrange some more training for Isaiah, he actually looks down on you!"

Everyone booed, and the locker room suddenly fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Zhang Yu looked at the players talking and laughing with a smile. After everyone stopped, he raised his left wrist, looked at his watch, and said:

"It's just a little thing, it's nothing. Well, it's time, go to training, don't delay the time, there is still a game to play tonight...Steve, have you already arranged the tactics for today's game for them?"

Cole explained:
"It's been arranged, there should be no problem. The Eagles are now 3 wins and 3 losses, and their strength is relatively average, so I haven't made any major changes. I'll play pass and cut first, and then decide tactics according to the situation in the second half..."

"Very good!" Zhang Yu smiled and waved her hands, "It doesn't need to be so detailed, since you have arranged the tactics, then you will be in charge of this game. I am just a little tired."

Cole was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yu carefully, looked at his slightly pale face and the thick dark circles under his eyes, nodded, and said:
"Since this is the case, then I will experience the feeling of a head coach!"

Afterwards, the Warriors players filed out of the locker room and went to the training ground. Zhang Yu and the coaching staff went to the end and asked about the team's training situation in the past two days.

"...The training is going well. It's all in accordance with the previously arranged training plan. Everyone is in good condition, and Hassan's body has returned to the best condition. I think he can lift the ban..."

Fraser, who was in charge of observing the players' status, told Zhang Yu in detail about the training status of the Warriors players during the two days he left.

Zhang Yu listened attentively, nodding repeatedly, and the look of exhaustion on his face became more and more intense.

He did have something to deal with these two days, but it was not a small matter, but a big one.

Three days ago, after the Warriors won the Nuggets, Zhang Yu gave the team a day off, then left the Bay Area and flew to New York overnight to meet Mark Baum.

In September, Abe, the former Prime Minister of the Neon Country, was elected as the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, and once again launched an attack on the throne of the Prime Minister of the Neon Country.

After two months of building momentum, he ranked first in the country with a support rate of 25%, and he only has to wait for the general election to be held on December 12.

During this period, Abe has repeatedly preached his policy of governing the Neon country, saying that if he is elected as the prime minister, he will definitely implement the "quantitative easing" policy, actively promote the depreciation of the Neon currency, stimulate export growth, and promote the economic development of the Neon country.

The long-awaited reality of Zhang Yu and Mark Baum finally arrived, and Mark Baum immediately sped up his actions, attacking from three sides in New York, London and Tokyo, quietly increasing his holdings of derivatives and shorting neon coins.

However, Abe is not the only candidate for the new prime minister of Neon Country. The Restoration Council and the Democratic Party also have support rates of 14% and 10% respectively.

Except for Mark Nanny who dared to invest a large sum of money to short neon coins because of his trust in Zhang Yu's judgment, other financial predators who wanted to take advantage of the neon country's general election to make a fortune in the neon country's financial market were not in a hurry. Instead, he waited and watched the situation in the political arena of Neon Nation, waiting for the best time to enter.

Since November, the call for Abe to be elected as prime minister has been increasing day by day. Those financial predators began to be impatient and stepped up the pace of shorting neon coins, but they still refused to invest a lot of money.

The financial market in Neon Country fell into a delicate state of calm, as if the calm before the storm was about to be broken by a violent storm in the next moment, but on the surface it was calm and peaceful.

In this suffocating feeling, Mark Baum was under a lot of pressure. He chatted with Zhang Yu many times and asked him how long it was before he could make a full shot. He was almost losing his patience.

After playing against the Nuggets, he found Zhang Yu again.

Of course Zhang Yu knew that Abe would definitely be elected as the new Prime Minister of Neon Country. Seeing that Mark Baum could no longer bear the pressure, he made a decisive decision and decided to act immediately!

That night, Zhang Yu rushed to New York to meet with Mark Baum, and then the two of them built a large position, shorted the neon coins, and took the lead in sounding the horn of attack in the financial market of the neon country!

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and their actions quickly triggered a chain reaction. Soros followed closely behind, and Neon Coin immediately ushered in the siege of financial predators all over the world.

But Zhang Yu, who shot the first arrow, quietly returned to Oakland.

He has done everything that can be done, and the next thing is to wait for the general election in Neon Country on December 12.
