Chapter 250 The Spurs Benchmark Era
When Yao Mingkuan and Li Duxin were in charge, the Warriors also started in-team training.After Yao Ming's comeback, the Warriors have a strong inside line. Nelson is full of confidence. He hopes to win the championship in the first year of the team's formation!
Since Li Du broke through and entered the dark force, his training in the team has always been different. Everyone is together in tactical training and basic training, but when others start shooting and strength training, Li Du's training method is different. It's completely different from everyone, and it's completely different from when he was with the Lakers.

Other people's strength training is in the strength training room, using various equipment to exercise their muscles. Li Du used to practice shaking big guns when he was in the Lakers, but now he is practicing Xingyi Wuxingquan, especially the transformation of Piquan into a tiger shape , he practiced very diligently.

In the past, Li Du once heard that Guo Yunshen, a master of Xingyiquan in the late Qing Dynasty, fought in the tiger shape, which was three feet away with a single pounce. Converted to the current length, it is about 9 meters.Li Du has always believed that the ancients exaggerated that he could jump 9 meters away with one pounce, so on the basketball court, wouldn't it be possible to span the entire court with three pounces?Li Du's speed is already very fast, not so fast that he can cross the court in three or four steps.

Ever since he met Master Hong, the number one master in the world, Li Du realized that the sages did not exaggerate!Li Du saw with his own eyes that Master Hong left the hotel in two steps, so fast that he couldn't even see clearly!So Master Hong taught Li Du things, and Li Du practiced hard every day. After half a year, he has made great progress.

What pleased Li Du the most was that by pushing back the Five Elements Fist from the Twelve Forms, he has now spread the dark energy to his back and thighs, and his spine is similar to the "Marrow Washing Sutra" set by Hubao Leiyin and Master Hong. During the kung fu, there was some feeling faintly.

Li Du himself feels that he is at least two or three times stronger physically than when he first entered the league!In other words, the current him can explode with strength and speed two or three times stronger than before!Li Du reckoned that if he really exerted himself like this, he might not be able to find anyone in the entire NBA who could compete with him!
It is precisely because of these preparations and accumulation that Li Du is full of expectations for the playoffs. He hopes to bring a championship trophy to the Warriors, and also hopes to win the championship with Yao Ming. He also hopes to win the championship just like Kobe. Finals MVP!

But to win the championship, you first need to get a relatively favorable record in the regular season. After the All-Star Game, the Warriors' schedule began to be difficult.Up to now, other teams Li Du are still playing according to tactics, even if they lose two or three games, it doesn't matter.

There is only one team that Li Du attaches great importance to, and that is the Spurs!

Since Duncan joined the Spurs, they have always been one of the strong contenders for the championship in the league. Even during the Lakers dynasty, the Spurs were also the biggest opponent of the Lakers.

After the collapse of the Lakers Dynasty and the disintegration of the OK combination, the Spurs have always maintained the posture and strength of the championship contenders. Some people call the years after the Lakers Dynasty the "era of melee", but in Li Du's mind, he thinks that this period , It can be called the "Spurs benchmark era", because in these years, no matter which team wants to win the championship, the Spurs are an unavoidable topic.

For all the teams in the current league, whether they can win the championship is another matter, but whether they can compete against the Spurs is a sign to verify whether a team has the strength to win the championship!The Spurs are a benchmark, and only by crossing this benchmark can they be eligible to join the ranks of contending for the championship.

And now, it's time to verify the Warriors!
In March Madness, the Warriors' fifth game was the last time they played against the Spurs in the regular season.In the previous two times, Li Du led the Warriors and lost. Now that Yao Ming has returned to the team, the Warriors have a neat lineup, which is the best opportunity to challenge the Spurs!

Li Du held back his strength to compete with the Spurs. On the Spurs side, Popovich was also having a headache for the Warriors.Since Yao Ming came back from injury, under the leadership of Li Du and Yao Ming, the Warriors averaged 121.3 points per game, suppressed opponents to score 103.6 points, and suppressed opponents with a shooting percentage of 41.7%. Beat the opponent by 17 or 18 points!
Originally, Li Du was enough for Popovich to have a headache. Once Li Du went berserk, his inhuman speed, strength, and shooting ability would cause great trouble to the Spurs.The last two times the Spurs won the Warriors' remnants, they took advantage of the Warriors' weakness inside. The Spurs' twin-tower lineup played the Warriors' insiders in a mess and forced the Warriors to shrink their defense.Now the inside line of the Warriors is Yao Ming. Against him, Duncan may not be able to please him, let alone force the Warriors to shrink their defense!
The two powers are fighting each other, each has its own headaches, and this day has finally come.

The Spurs are now ranked second in the West, 3 games behind the No. 2 Lakers in the West, and [-] games behind the Warriors in the No. [-] West, so this game is very important for both sides.If the Warriors win, they will be able to sit on the second place in the Western Conference immediately; if the Spurs win, they will be firmly seated in the second place in the Western Conference. In the remaining games, the Warriors will not be able to catch up again.

The second battle in the West!Everyone understands how this game will have a huge impact on the two teams, and even the entire Western Conference playoffs!
What is not good for the Warriors is that in this crucial game, they are still playing away games, and they are back to back!The day before, the Warriors had just won the Bulls, and Li Du had spent more than 30 minutes in the game against Derrick Rose, who is known as the strongest guard in the game, and he also consumed a lot of energy.

As soon as the game ended, Li Du and the entire Warriors flew to San Antonio non-stop. When they arrived in San Antonio, it was already the next morning. Everyone was sleeping on the plane, and they didn't have a good rest.

So old Nelson put the training and meetings in the afternoon, and asked everyone to have a good sleep in the hotel first, so as to restore their physical fitness and energy as much as possible.Only Li Du didn't sleep all the time. Although he had consumed some energy in the contest with Ross, it was fine for him now.

Li Du also slept well on the plane. In the Warriors, Li Du has the privilege to take Priti to the game.When Preti was by his side, Li Du slept very peacefully. Their relationship was like this. There were no particularly sweet words, but no one could do without the other.

There was no need to rest, so Li Du sat in the hotel, thinking about how to deal with the Spurs at night.The Spurs play typical team basketball, and it is not enough to guard only one of them. They must disrupt their offensive and defensive rhythms and identify key players in order to crack their tactics!

Thinking of the key person of the Spurs, a figure immediately appeared in Li Du's mind. In his mind, the guy on the Spurs team who is more powerful than Duncan, Ginobili the Demon Sword!
