Chapter 484. 484. Team needs are the key to progress

Curry's scalp was numb from Liu Ren's sight.

"What's wrong with this guy?" Curry thought to himself that he hadn't messed with this cheapskate for a while!

How could Curry know Liu Ren's grief and indignation of 1200 million?

Liu Ren is now mourning the loss of his next season's salary the day before yesterday.

Liu Ren had already calculated that the remaining one million pocket money, even with next season's salary, would definitely not be enough to buy a house, but he didn't expect that the little girl would not even have a salary for the next season without signing a contract. Counted in.

Fireproof, anti-theft and anti-chick!
Yesterday, the Lakers gathered for a tactical training session, mainly focusing on defensive simulation exercises for the Warriors' double guns in the backcourt.

The end result is, um, just unstoppable.

As for Liu Ren looking at Curry with vicious eyes in deep resentment, it was purely to increase his motivation, because today's game was not easy at all, and he lost to the Warriors last time.

If this game is lost again, the psychological advantage will be gone when they meet in the playoffs!

Especially this kind of winning two games first and then losing two games is more likely to affect emotions, and there will be an illusion that the Warriors have improved enough to sweep them.

To put it simply, it is not called winning first, and the real winner is the one who wins to the end.

Oracle Arena, this arena has more than three years left for the Warriors to be home. In 2018, the Warriors will move to a new arena in San Francisco.

The Warriors have improved very fast in the past two years, especially this year they have become the top team in the NBA. If it weren't for the Lakers' cross-cutting, they would be the strongest team.

And the Warriors' core lineup is young enough, Curry is less than 27 years old, Thompson is still in the fourth year of his rookie contract, and Randall is still a rookie!At least for the next five to seven years, they will be top teams.

The performance of the Warriors has also attracted the favor of investors. The famous Chase Motors found the owner of the Warriors and invested 4 million to build a new arena for them. San Francisco used to be the home of the Warriors, but the Warriors moved to Oakland. Although the place is not far away, San Francisco fans still want the Warriors to be closer, so the San Francisco government allocated land for the Warriors, as well as investment from various local departments, plus the Warriors boss himself paid for it, and raised a whole lot of money. When it reaches 10 billion dollars, it is planned to build a more luxurious arena than the Nets' Barclays Center.

For this point, Oakland fans are not against it. Anyway, San Francisco is just across the bridge, but they still cherish the Warriors' last game at Oracle Arena. To be honest, three years have passed in a flash.

Especially for the game between the Warriors and the Lakers, the fans were very enthusiastic. The tickets for the last game between the two teams were sold out quickly, and now even the tickets for the most fringe stands have been sold for 600 dollars in scalpers. , The Warriors boss called out insane.

At first, the Warriors owner thought it was shameless for him to set the grandstand tickets to 60 dollars a piece, but he didn't expect the scalpers to be even more shameless!

You must know that the average ticket price of the Warriors this season is $55, the highest is the Knicks at $127, and the second is the Lakers at $109.

Except for the Lakers and Knicks, the average ticket price of other teams is between 20 and 60 dollars. This is mainly due to the high income and consumption of New York and Los Angeles. The income of San Francisco is still far behind that of Los Angeles and New York. , the ticket price is high, it is estimated that the government will find trouble with the boss of the Warriors.

Of course, the playoffs count.

Before the start of the away game between the Lakers and the Warriors, when the starters of the two teams came to the court, the voices in the auditorium immediately changed into two types, cheers and boos.

The cheers were naturally the Lakers fans who came from California, while the boos were the Warriors who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Lakers.

When Liu Ren slapped Curry's greeting hand viciously on purpose, the boos at the scene overwhelmed the shouts for a moment. Now Oakland and even San Francisco fans have the most Warriors fans. The Lakers, the most popular team in California, are here to enjoy the booing too.

Curry looked at Liu Ren helplessly, he was still very puzzled, why is Liu Ren such a cheapskate... so sad and angry?
Lakers starting: Clarkson, Bryant, Liu Ren, Green, Gasol.

Warriors starting: Curry, Thompson, Harris Barnes, Randall, Bogut.

Curry looked at Clarkson very curiously, a second-round pick could actually counterattack and become the starter in the middle of the season!You must know that the Lakers are the team with the best record in the league. Dare to rashly mention a rookie or a second-round pick in the starting lineup proves that this rookie really has something special, so Curry is very curious.

Bogut and Bogut fought for the ball in the middle circle. Bogut naturally clicked on the basketball first. It is very difficult for Gasol to win a jump ball!

Curry pushed forward with the ball and was about to start looking for Randall. The Warriors' opening tactics focused on Randall's dominance, just like Green's position in Liu Ren's memory, he was the core of the Warriors.

Recently, Liu Ren has also gradually begun to understand why many players have developed differently than he expected, especially the potential stocks of the Lakers.

The reason is simple, because of the needs of the team!
The Warriors just need a player like the original Green. The Bucks originally needed Antetokounmpo to do those things, and the Lakers naturally want to train them according to the needs of the team when they get these players.

It just so happens that Randall is already extremely talented, and it took a short time to reach the level that Green had reached in more than a year. This made Green have to lament that talent is really incomparable.

However, Green also has his own strengths. His overall view and defense are incomparable to Randall. Randall is strong in his ability to play hard. As for organizational ability, Green is slightly stronger.

Randall is really not afraid of things, he rushed in with the ball at the beginning of the game.

Sure enough, Green can't defend Randall by himself. He is too strong, fast, and dribbles well. He is like Green with weakened defense and super-strengthened offense, forcing Liu Ren to rush from the other side of the free throw line. Make up defense.

I have to say that it is much easier to improve in a strong team than in a weak team. The coach will always teach him the most correct way of playing, and because the teammates are good enough and the team is strong enough, these correct ways of playing will often be very good. As a result, this makes players more interested in practicing these correct ways of playing, and ultimately develops a winning culture.

At the beginning of the season, even in the last game, Randall was still a little stunned. He only knew that his performance of throwing the ball at the basket had improved a lot. In the hands of Barnes who was vacated after the pick-and-roll.

Barnes gets the ball high up from long distance, a long two-point jumper...

hit!

In the opening game, Barnes scored two points first, but this opportunity was entirely created by Randall. Without Randall attracting the attention of the Lakers' insiders, Barnes would never have a vacancy, and it would be impossible to use Curry's Pick-and-rolls get open.

Green showed helplessness, picked up the ball and sent it to Clarkson.
