Chapter 686 Against the Sun
After finally defeating the Timberwolves, the last opponent in January, the Warriors got three days of rest!
During the first month of the game, the Warriors players have grown tremendously in terms of skills and tactics, as well as in their thoughts and emotions!
Among them, especially some rookies who are still in the Warriors. After a year or two of growth, they give people the feeling that they are growing rapidly!
In the case of Kyler Korver, since he entered the Warriors, he is no longer just a player who only relies on fixed-point shooting and his teammates create offensive opportunities for him!
The second-round pick, after a year of experience, even though he didn't get much playing time last season, since he was arranged by Wilkens as the team's main substitute this season, his offensive performance has improved. The performance becomes more active and aggressive!
For example, he only stood on the court as a sniper, but now with his stronger body and the experience of his teammates in normal training, he has gained his initial offensive ability!
Especially his originally weak defense, after the Warriors played iron-blooded games, under his positive attitude, even though his body was still a little weak among some forwards, after constant harassment and desperate defense, he made him Still won the trust of teammates and Wilkens!
Now, seeing that December is about to enter, judging from the record and ability of the Warriors last month, if the performance of other teams is still the same as last month's tepid performance, I am afraid that this year's finals will be No one can stand in their way to finally claim the dynasty!
"Damn it, why are they so powerful!!"
Pat Riley sat on his office chair with a displeased face. Thinking of the shocking record of the Warriors before, he couldn't help feeling depressed!
This season, after bringing Shaquille O'Neal into the team, he is really happy to burst with excitement!
Among them, especially after snatching White Chocolate Williams and James Posey into his hands, he directly gained great confidence and excitement for this year's champion!
However, as the Warriors ended the first month of the game with a crushing trend, even though they did not encounter any super teams this month, the skills, tactics and mentality they showed were like a stick. Like a hot red needle, it pierced Riley's heart fiercely!
"Damn!!"
Riley's hair was a little disheveled because of his anger. After swearing at the end, he stood up and went to a floor-to-ceiling mirror in the office to play!
"We will definitely win the championship!"
Carefully tidying up her hair, Riley seemed to be full of confidence, murmured something in a low voice and walked out of her office!
In the Heat's practice facility, O'Neal's laughter filled the arena. From his laughter, it can be seen that he is obviously very happy to be in this city with one of the best beaches in the world!
"Shaquille!!"
Wade dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and he yelled directly to O'Neal, who was already stuck inside!
Hearing this shout, O'Neill seemed to have practiced with Wade countless times. He turned around and left the defender's close body, and then his huge body was like a super heavyweight shell, taking a big step. After that, the whole person flew towards the basket with a bang!
"boom!!"
A loud bang completely attracted the attention of other players. O'Neal was like an ancient monster, tearing at the seemingly weak basket!
"cool!!"
Wade shouted excitedly, since O'Neal came to the team, he really felt what is strength and what is the dream of a champion!
"Hahaha, little guy, you will see that golden trophy, I will bring it to you!!"
O'Neill laughed and said, the confidence on his face seemed to be substantive, so dazzling and convincing!
Wade smiled and looked at O'Neal who was standing inside and spanking other players. The oath and scene of this guy when he came to Miami seemed to appear before his eyes again!
"Champion??"
Wade showed the brightest smile on his face, and then threw himself into the defense!
Oakland!
"Jerry, I don't think we need to pay attention to the free agent market and some potential trading plans. With our current lineup, most of this season's championships have already entered our pockets!"
Bruce said to West very confidently, as to whether the Warriors can win this season's championship, obviously he has made the most confident preparations!
"Hehe, I'm just a suggestion!"
West shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless, then changed the topic, and said with a frown: "As December is about to enter, I hope we can study our opponents carefully!"
"Yes!"
The confidence on Bruce's face dissipated a bit, and whenever he thought of the upcoming December, he couldn't help frowning!
In the next month, the Warriors will directly face some strong teams in the league. Not only must they always be prepared to be blocked by these teams, but they must also count up some annoying back-to-back games this month!
In the first month of the game, I don’t know if it was Stern’s intentional arrangement for the Warriors. Except for the Timberwolves who defeated them in the end, which could cause them some troubles, other teams can basically be described as the bottom of the league!
However, as they are about to enter December, this relaxed atmosphere is directly overwhelmed by the dense schedule!
"Damn it, is David taking revenge on us?"
Hearing Bruce's complaint, West first smiled helplessly, then shook his head: "Bruce, if you think so, I'm afraid you are wrong this time!"
"Ok?"
Bruce looked at West with some doubts, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Stern's approach!
"Although I am worried about the health of the team for this kind of schedule, if you carefully analyze the schedules of other teams, you will find that they are basically the same as ours, so!"
"All right!!"
Bruce shrugged helplessly, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help frowning hesitantly: "So, do you think we should reserve some players?"
"Hehe, of course, why not!"
West secretly heaved a sigh of relief. His purpose of changing the topic is exactly this. Once December enters, the NBA will gradually increase the game frequency of each team. Once there is an injury problem, the Warriors are now With two stable lineups, I'm afraid they will have some unexpected problems in the final sprint and after entering the playoffs!
Therefore, when West is very clear about Bruce's character, he used this way of turning, which can be regarded as a tactful way to achieve his goal!
Then, as the league's schedule entered December, the Warriors met the amazing Suns in Game [-]!
This season, several players of the Suns not only gradually grew into their own star players, but after getting Nash in the free agent market, they became the darkest dark horses in the league in an instant!
For example, in their game in November, with D'Antoni's tactics as the skeleton, Nash and others as the flesh and blood Suns, in the first month of the game, they directly won only Second game to the Warriors!
At first, some people thought they were just luck. However, as the schedule gradually progressed, the Suns directly shattered this luck in a shocking way!
With D'Antoni's background as an assistant coach under Wilkens and the whirlwind playing style of Nash and others, they are gradually playing the tactics and records that D'Antoni and Donnie Nelson yearn for!
With the Suns playing a strong performance on the offensive end, if they continue to develop according to the situation in the previous life, they will still have huge problems on the defensive end!
However, after the emergence of Bruce in this era, even though their defense still seems a little unsatisfactory, because D'Antoni has studied a lot of time with Wilkens, their defense has directly entered the league average. the point!
In the home court of the Suns, Bruce and West appeared in the stands early!
"Jerry, how do you think Mike feels now? Is he already very excited?"
Bruce stared at the big screen in the mid-air of the Suns stadium, and after seeing a middle-aged man with a mustache appear on it, he couldn't help asking curiously.
"Hehe, first of all, I am very sorry for Mike's departure. He has brought us great help, especially his concept on the offensive end. His contribution to us is simply too great!"
West said with emotion on his face, thinking that the other party had directly joined them under the invitation of the Suns before, this still made West feel a little regretful!
"Secondly, I am very happy to see him in the coaching position. With his ability in the coaching position, leading a team to victory will be a very logical thing. It can be seen from the previous games that he Excellent coaching style and amazing commanding talent!"
Hearing West's highly praised words, and remembering that the Warriors used small ball tactics as one of the team's important offensive tactics for a while, Bruce couldn't help but agree!
"That's right, although I was very regretful and disappointed about Mike's departure, but after all, no one wants to be the head coach of a team, so why don't we wish him well?"
Bruce said to West with a smile on his face, and then amidst a burst of cheers in the arena, the confident figure of Mike D'Antoni appeared directly in the eyes of the two of them!
