The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 236, Mengku visits.

The tactical explanation before the game and the opponent analysis meeting.

"This year, Golden State has added Stephen Curry, Acie Law, Speedy Claxton, Mickey Moore, and Devin George. The old Nelson's main tactics are still running and bombing tactics. KD, Li, James, did you guys hear that?"

Coach Brooks finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised his voice.

Except for Westbrook, several of his main generals seem to be in a daze, and they all look listless.

"Hear, hear, Brooks, we all understand the situation of the Warriors."

Li Senlin cheered up and responded first.

Not to mention Li Senlin's situation last night, I used all the posture knowledge I learned from the teachers over the years. Harden and Durant also played all night. I heard that Harden hooked up with that dancer.

In addition, the team just finished beating the Lakers last night, so they were already tired, and then came to practice early this afternoon, and they didn't even have 5 hours of sleep. These guys are still fainting now.

Of course, the reason why they dare to play like this is because the opponent is always a bad team.

In the hearts of everyone in the Thunder, the Thunder itself is already a "strong team". They are so strong that they can even defeat the Celtics and the Lakers. Naturally, the mere Golden State Warriors are no longer a problem.

After rambling on a lot, Brooks finally shook his head helplessly and dropped a bunch of documents.

"Okay, let's stop here today. This is the analysis report from the team and the scouts. Take it and read it. The tactical training in the afternoon will be cancelled. You should recover your strength and prepare for tonight's game."

"OK!"

Everyone weakly returned to Brooks.

Brooks sighed. He thought it was back-to-back factors. What he was puzzled was that the season had just started. Even if it was back-to-back, the team's main physical reserve shouldn't be so bad.

Li Senlin cheered up, picked up the scout report and the coaching staff's analysis report and looked at it.

The Warriors last season can be said to have spent in chaos of infighting. Since the main forward Harrington asked to trade himself at the beginning of the season, the Warriors have fallen into an abnormal mode. The head coach Nelson and Harrington fought, In the end, the latter rebelled successfully and joined the Knicks.

Crawford, who joined the Warriors, was not treated well by Nelson. At the same time, many players in the Warriors, including Belinelli, Wright, and Randolph, had disagreements with the head coach. The conflict between Lin and the management was almost public. Last season, there were constant infighting. In the end, under the shadow of Nelson's dictatorship, the Warriors became a bad team with 29 wins and 53 losses in the regular season.

For the old Nelson this season, there is no boundary between good players and bad players. As long as he can fiddle with a lineup, tall, short, fat, and thin are all the truth.

Crawford originally joined for the purpose of sending Harrington away. Although there were some wonderful individual shows last season, they had no effect on the team overall. Naturally, leaving the team this season has no impact, and Belinelli basically the same way.

Among the acquired players, except for rookie Curry who is more eye-catching, the others are basically marginal substitutes.

The Warriors don't have many players to look at now, and even Randolph Jr. is considered to be the hottest star in the future.

The media actually said: Randolph's offensive performance last season was amazing. After adapting to the rhythm of the NBA, Randolph is likely to explode this season and is expected to compete for the Most Improved Player Award.

Rookie Curry will be another player in the Warriors that deserves the Thunder's attention. College Curry is the nation's scoring leader, averaging 28.6 points per game.

Old Nelson has offended the Knicks and the Suns for Curry. Under the easy running and gun system, Curry is likely to contribute high-scoring performances.

The Warriors' advantage is very obvious. For a team that is good at offense, their longest item is scoring.

The Warriors have many powerful scorers in the backcourt, including Ellis, Morrow, and rookie Curry. On the forward line, they have a second-year powerful athletic power forward Randolph. Randolph once tied his teammates in the summer league. The single-game scoring record created.

The Warriors have some strengths, but more weaknesses.

The Warriors are a team full of various unstable factors. The unhealthy management has led to chaotic team construction in recent years. The boss is incompetent, the general manager is a puppet, and the head coach exceeds his authority... There are countless unknowns up and down. , This is the biggest problem with this team.

From the analysis of the lineup, the Warriors are as unhealthy as their management. The most obvious point is that there is a serious surplus of guards, as many as 7 people, accounting for half of the team's roster.In contrast, the depth of the interior, especially the power forward position, so the Warriors mainly play a small lineup, and they basically don't have to expect much on defense.

There is also a latent contradiction in the Warriors, and that is the original backcourt core Ellis.

Due to the "electric motorcycle incident" last season, there was a rift between Ellis and the Warriors' management. The conflict between the coaches is getting deeper and deeper.
Based on the situation of the Warriors, Durant dared to play casually last night.

The Thunder have never been afraid of offensive teams. This season, they are averaging 109 points per game.

In the Celtics' most recent game, they only scored 59 points against the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Thunder against the Celtics can break 118 points, and even scored [-] points against the Lakers. This season, the Thunder's offensive power ranks among the top three in the league, which has been recognized by many media and experts.

After reading the analysis report, Li Senlin didn't have too many thoughts, and went directly to strength training. His current physical potential is great, and he needs to develop it as soon as possible.

This team of warriors is not yet the future dynasty warriors, and their talent is far worse than that of the Thunder.

Not to mention Durant, even Li Senlin doesn't like such a warrior.

A program that ESPM is currently broadcasting happens to be the Thunder album.

Two analysts, Jaylen Rose and Magic Johnson, are analyzing the situation of the Thunder in detail.

“The Thunder traded Damini Wilkins and Chuck Atkins to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Ollie and Eaton Thomas at the end of the summer. Salary, this does not affect their long-term salary space, because Ollie and Thomas are both expiring contracts, and the two did not get a chance to play in the new season, so although they are back-to-back games, their main rotation tonight is still For the rookies who played against the Lakers, Li Senlin's comeback has raised the Thunder's strength to a higher level."

"The status and lineup of the Thunder this season are still quite good, and the salary is also controlled under the salary cap. Only Chandler and Li Senlin have an annual salary of more than 1 million. Before the trade deadline this year, by accepting an expiring contract and keeping the salary of other teams below the luxury tax, this can help the Thunder get 2 or [-] draft picks in the future."

"Plus the Thunder have the Suns' pick for next year. It was acquired in the 2007 trade for Kurt Thomas, and it's a completely unprotected first-round lottery pick. Considering the current state of the Suns, this The pick may even be a lottery pick, and if the Thunder does not make it to the playoffs, then next season they will have two high picks in the first round, haha, but judging from the recent strong state of the Thunder, They should not get 2 high picks. In addition, the Thunder also have a 2 second-round pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves, which is equivalent to a first-round pick, because this pick Probably around No. 2010. Tsk tsk, the Thunder's draft pick is really rich."

"Combining the high-quality young players they already have (Durant, Lee Forest, Westbrook, Harden, Sefolosha) and the future potential players they have (Ibaka, DJ White, Kay Weaver), their talent base will start to explode this season, of course, if they want to speed up the process of team building, the Thunder management can use some or all of these assets in the current or future transactions, but No matter what, the Thunder will absolutely shine this season."

"I admire Presti's vision very much. He has selected four potential rookies for three consecutive years, and two of them are already in the top ten in scoring per game. Downwind."

"Haha, Brooks' coaching ability is also very outstanding. The Thunder has top-notch players in the league on the perimeter, but their interior is still a big problem. Krstic performed well after he returned to the NBA last season. Somewhat inconsistent, and that's the unresolved question of whether he can get back to the low-post ability he showed with the Nets before his knee injury. Same with Ibaka, yet to prove himself in the NBA, Tyson Chand Le's injury risk is too serious. If he goes down, the Thunder's interior will return to the state of last season. Therefore, the Thunder will struggle against strong interior teams. Let God pray that Chandler will not Get hurt again."

"The Thunder's Krstic is a 5th position who is not good at hand-to-hand combat. Although Nick Collison can also play a center, he is not physically dominant against most inside centers. Therefore, in terms of inside offense , The Thunder are deadly, Krstic is a spot-up jumper, Collinson can only do some second offenses, and Chandler can only dunk, they don’t have good low-post players inside, and the number of low-post attacks inside The one with the highest frequency is actually Li Senlin, the defender."

"Will the Thunder make the playoffs? Absolutely, for sure. I don't think they're ranked lower than the top eight, and they're definitely going to reach a new level. The main core players of the team will explode in the next few years." , Durant's personal perfect start this season, Li Senlin has gradually become a qualified second in charge, he will try to challenge Durant's boss position, if Westbrook develops the middle distance, the Thunder will return to the effective 3 Boss situations."

"If the Thunder team enters the playoffs, they still have many weaknesses. His bench depth and interior problems are not as simple as a concept. In addition, none of their key players are excellent passers. Li Senlin Neither Westbrook is a top passer, and that's going to be a big concern for them."

But the Thunder have the best chance of becoming the most improved team in the league this season.

And sure enough, some nights Durant, Westbrook and Lee will let everyone know what a promising and improving team they are. "

"On the whole, I am optimistic that these guys can challenge the Lakers' king status."

"Li, you will return to the bench tonight. Your physical condition is not good in back-to-back games. In order to avoid injuries, I will control your playing time recently."

Brooks came over with the team doctor's analysis report and said to Li Senlin.

"OK! I will also strengthen my physical fitness recently."

Li Senlin didn't think it was wrong. The first team was full of talents, but the second team was a bit short of firepower. His return to the second team could ensure the balance of the Thunder's offense.

The game starts.

Warriors starting lineup: Andris Petrins, Anthony Randolph, Stephen Jackson, Anthony Morrow, Monta Ellis

Thunder starting lineup: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Earl Watson, Tyson Chandler.

The consequences of the Thunder's back-to-back and core players going out at night are still emerging.

The steps of the Thunder's core players are slightly heavy on the court.

Durant has almost no breakthroughs, all of which are thrown from the outside. Westbrook is full of enthusiasm but still fails to connect the team, and then the inside offense is weak.

So even though the Golden State Warriors' offensive efficiency after the start of the game is average.

But they still built an eight-point lead before the second unit came on.

After hearing Brooks' call, Li Senlin, who was sitting on the bench, stood up and looked at the time and score. At 1 minute and 34 seconds, the score was 26 to 18.

The audience at the Ford Center also saw that the home team was out of shape, and the cheers and cheers were not so loud.

After Brooks called the second long timeout, Li Senlin went into battle.
