Chapter 287 Mental Change, Ambition
Kobe may not know it, but because of his one phone call, it directly changed the situation of the Lakers and even the entire league in the next two seasons!
The Lakers lost all of their last two games against the Warriors.It's not that they didn't perform well. In these two games, not only Kobe Bryant, but even Odom, who is usually carefree, put his life to death. Unfortunately, their efforts seemed so vulnerable in front of Li Du and Yao Ming.

From the third game of the series, Li Du's style of play has changed in vain. It is no longer as efficient as before without losing the tactical system, planning while not lacking in fighting the opponent.His style of play is still efficient, and no one can stop him, but it is much more violent!
Li Du first showed his minions on defense. After Kobe used other people to avoid him, he stopped chasing and changing defenses directly. , or Gasol, or Bynum, when they wanted to take advantage of their height advantage, they were all pushed to the ground by Li Dulian with the ball.

On the offensive end, Li Du and Yao Ming almost reproduced the classic pick-and-roll of Malone and Stockton. The difference is that Li Du and Yao Ming's play is more lethal!Perhaps Li Du's direct and violent style of play has influenced the rest of the Warriors. Yao Ming, a person with a gentle personality, has dunked Bynum and Gasol one after another in the game, killing the Lakers inside countless times. He is alone Just abolish the Lakers' inside line!

When the Lakers shrunk their defense and double-teamed Yao Ming, Li Du and Curry gave the Lakers a vivid three-point shooting lesson.Li-Doo made 16 of 11 9-pointers in Games 20 and 31, and Curry also made a total of [-] [-]-pointers in the two games.The two made [-] three-pointers together, and the Warriors made a total of [-] three-pointers in two games, which made the whole league see what it means to be raining three-pointers!
After four games, the Warriors swept the Lakers to advance to the Western Conference Finals, where they will face the winner between the Spurs and the Suns.

Now the Spurs and the Suns are fighting fiercely. The two teams are also old rivals, and their styles of play are completely opposite. The Suns pursue fast offense and defense, which is very similar to the Warriors. Crush each other with opponents.

As they swept their opponents again, the Warriors once again ushered in a rare rest period. The Spurs and the Suns are now tied 2-2. No matter who wins, the Warriors will have at least a week of rest.Old Nelson also understands the principle of relaxation. He did not completely let everyone take a vacation this time, but maintained basic training and tactical training every day to stabilize the players' game state.

Everyone else was doing daily training, except for Li Du. After sweeping the Lakers, after the initial excitement and joy, he quickly calmed down and began to summarize the pros and cons of this round of the series against the Lakers.After watching the game video over and over again, Li Du was pleasantly surprised to find that when he showed his ferocious and violent side, the Warriors played more easily, and his own physical exertion was much less.

Li Du has now reached the middle level of the dark energy, and began to explore how to penetrate the dark energy from the outside to the inside, and penetrate into the internal organs. His current physical strength is already very good. As long as he does not burst out of physical strength in the audience, he will not be able to play two consecutive games. Problem, but Li Du understood that only when his dark energy was practiced in his internal organs would his physical strength improve rapidly.

But now, Li Du has discovered an easier way to play, which is naturally better.And Yao Ming told Li Du that in the last two games against the Lakers, the morale of the Warriors was high thanks to his leadership. His own steps were much lighter.

This is a typical example of the changes morale and mentality bring to players, which in turn affects the game.On the contrary, in previous competitions, although everyone had good performances, they were all showing their usual strengths, and had little to do with Li Du, the leader.

After figuring out this joint, Li Du finally began to understand why so many NBA team leaders never show weakness in front of others, are extremely domineering, and try their best to suppress each other in the game, and even singled out each other even at the most critical time .All this is to boost the morale of the team. If the morale is low, no matter how well-equipped the team is, it will only lose.

In the game, there are only two things that can directly improve the morale of the team.One is a violent block on the defensive end, directly fanning the ball or nailing it to the backboard; the other is making an unconventional goal against the opponent's defense during the offense.

Coincidentally, these two methods are what Li Du is best at!
That is, from this day on, inside the Warriors, everyone found that Li Du's training methods had changed again.In the past, after every daily training, Li Du would do a set of Xingyiquan and a set of Baguazhang. The movements were all in place, but he never exerted force. He just wanted to relieve the flow of blood.But now it’s different. Li Du’s every movement will be the same as when he was formally practicing boxing, full of force and blood, shaking the wooden floor of the arena with a bang, and every movement gives people an unparalleled visual and auditory experience. shock.

Li Du showed extraordinary strength in front of his teammates, which shocked the hearts of every Warrior player. At the same time, a belief began to be implanted in the hearts of the players: "Li Du is too powerful! As long as Li Du is there, no matter who the opponent is , we will all win!"

Seeing his teammates getting more and more serious during training, and talking about his team being full of confidence when chatting, Li Du laughed. This is what he wanted!Just like Kobe said, he wants to bring the Warriors into an invincible team, even a team that destroys the fairness of the game!

While Li Du was laughing, Yao Ming stood behind Li Du, put a pair of big hands on Li Du's shoulders, and said, "Xiao Du, your ambition is not small!"

"Brother Yao!" Li Du didn't look back, looking at his teammates chatting with each other and walking out of the training hall with a smile, he said: "One day, I will let everyone who mentions basketball or the NBA not Don't mention the warriors, but mention our Tang Shuanglong!"

Yao Ming laughed loudly and walked out, "Since your ambition is so big, then no matter if we face the Spurs or the Suns in the finals, we will sweep them!"

Li Du nodded and didn't say much. He understood his current situation very well, and had carefully analyzed his opponent. Against the Spurs, the Warriors might be troublesome. If they were against the Suns, they would simply sweep away without any discussion!
