Chapter 335
With the Thunder Twins breaking through the Spurs, the roster for this year's Western Conference finals has also been confirmed. Both the Warriors and the Thunder can be regarded as young teams. Needless to say, the Thunder, almost everyone is under 25 years old.

When people marvel at how young the Thunder are, they realize that the Warriors are also very young. Their leader, Li Du, has only entered the NBA for the fifth season. The main point guard, Curry, is only a second-year rookie. Everyone else is similar. , except for Yao Ming and the two veterans who played as substitutes, no one is over 28 years old!
It wasn't until this time that people realized that the strength of the Warriors and the fact that Li Du and Yao Ming played their roles very early made people think that they were old players who had been famous for many years. In fact, Li Du was only 25 years old this year.And according to Li Du's physical strength and his abundant physical fitness, as long as there is no accident, Li Du has at least 10 years of professional career, which means that he can still dominate the NBA for more than 10 years!

Li Du became famous very early. In his rookie season, he won the Best Rookie and Best Defensive Player awards at the same time. In the second season, he was already a world-renowned star when the Lakers won the championship. Li Du was very mature in the game, completely without the impulsiveness of young stars, and rarely made mistakes.In terms of private life, Li Du didn't have any scandals at all, and the only one who could joke about it was Scarlett chasing after him.

This almost ascetic living habit makes people often ignore Li Du's age, subconsciously thinking that he is only a little younger than superstars such as Kobe Bryant.

When the outside world is talking about Li Du's achievements at such a young age, Li Du laughs at the words that the Chinese CCTV commentator said during the Spurs-Thunder match at his home, "You can have a thousand tricks, Do I have two goblins? Kevin and Russell are indeed rare super scorers, but unfortunately, they are not enough to threaten us!"

When Li Du learned that the opponent in the Western Conference Finals was not the Spurs, but the Thunder, he was very happy.The Thunder relied on two stars with incredible scoring ability, which caused many teams to have a headache for them. Just like the Spurs, these two are generally difficult for teams to restrict, and they all need double teams.But there are only 5 players on the field, and if four players double-team two players, the opponent's three players are basically left empty.

No matter how weak the other three Thunder players are, they are still professional players. When they are left empty, their shooting percentages are ridiculously high.This is one of the reasons why the Thunder can beat the Spurs and reach the Western Conference Finals.

It's a pity that when the Thunder face the Warriors, their advantage will no longer exist.Li Du alone can completely suppress one of the Thunder Twins, while the other can be compensated by tactical arrangements. Even if they double-team, the rest of the Thunder team's offensive ability is really average when they are not completely emptied. What's more, the inside line of the Warriors is guarded by Yao Ming, the giant of the East.

During the regular season, the Thunder played against the Warriors three times, and because Durant regarded Scarlett as a goddess, every time the Thunder met the Warriors, they shot with all their strength, which was almost the same as in the playoffs, but every time Once they were all defeated by the Warriors by a big score.

Also because of this relationship, the entire Warriors team was very relaxed psychologically when facing the Thunder, without any psychological burden, and even Curry, who had been fighting against Westbrook several times in the game, held back his energy. , in the Western Conference Finals, it is necessary to have a good match with this physically powerful new star.

So the day before the match between the two teams, Curry found Li Du and Nelson, hoping that the boss and the coach would give him a chance to compete with Westbrook.

Hearing Curry's gunpowder-flavored declaration of war, Li Du not only did not blame Curry's "grabbing power" behavior, but praised Curry greatly, patted Curry on the shoulder and said to him: "Stephen, I am very happy that you can think so Go ahead and do it freely, I will firmly support you behind you!"

Old Nelson also smiled and said: "I agree too. Stephen, Li and I both think that you are not weaker than that guy, and even in our minds, you are the real epoch-making point guard! Just like Li said, let go Let's fight with your hands and feet, let them see your three-pointer with the same deterrent power as Li!"

Smiling as Curry left confidently, Li Du said to Old Nelson, "Coach, since Stephen can think so, should we adjust our tactics when we are teaming up with the Thunder?"

Old Nelson stretched his waist greatly, waved his hands and said: "You can do whatever you want, Li, I found that since you joined the Warriors, I have been very easy to do as a coach, and your control on the field is not weaker than any other He is a famous coach in the NBA. I won’t talk too much about tactics, you just need to remember one thing, stick to our tactical style, and stick to our unique style of play.”

Players like Li Du are probably loved by every coach. He has a strong understanding of tactics, and when he is on the court, he can also control the game through the coach's arrangement, which makes the coach very easy. Heart, now, sometimes during the timeout, even Li Du is arranging tactics, and old Nelson just listens by the side, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two to remind everyone.

This made the old Nelson seem to be the most non-existent person in the Warriors, but this kind of "non-existence" is probably the scene that every coach hopes to see the most, because it means that his love The gang has grown up enough to support the entire team, and there is no need to tell them what to do.

With the scene of Curry asking for a fight, in the Warriors' Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Li Du devoted most of his energy to defense. Durant was almost unable to catch the ball by Li Du, and Westbrook also Fighting with Curry again, my mind became hot, and I couldn't see Durant anymore.

What everyone didn't expect was that the young Curry did not lose the slightest in the duel with Westbrook!Curry's body is not as explosive as Westbrook's, his style is more deft, and his running is more flexible.And in this series, Curry made people all over the world realize his equally terrifying three-pointer as Li Du.

Others shot three-pointers more accurately after receiving the pass. Only Curry and Li Du were different. They dribbled the ball to find their own rhythm, then shook the defender and then shot. This is the most accurate shot for them!In the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, with the support of Li and Du, Curry averaged 12.7 three-pointers per game and made 5.2 of them!
In this process of crazy shots and crazy hits, Curry got a nickname "Perverted Quasi" from Chinese fans.
