Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 75

After the meeting in the office, Li Weisi was the first to walk out of Frank's office.

When passing by the video room, Li Weisi suddenly remembered the video tape he needed two days ago. Before Van Gundy gave it to him, he turned and walked into the video room.

If it is not necessary, Li Weisi is really reluctant to enter the video room, because Li Weisi, who is born with details, has some obsessive-compulsive disorder. Whenever he enters the video room and sees the video tapes piled up here, Li Weisi feels uncomfortable.

The team's assistant coach and video analyst Stan Van Gundy is in charge of the video room. Before Li Weisi entered the office, he heard Van Gundy's voice.

"Did you see it? We scrambled for the frontcourt rebounds, which prevented the opponent from launching a fast break, so that we retreated to the backcourt to form a collective defense, which was very helpful. At the same time, we could use Moses' fast movement ability to help defend, which is very big The degree can make up for the loopholes in perimeter defense."

"But such a solution can't fundamentally solve the problem. The most fundamental problem of the Warriors' defense lies in the perimeter defense." At this time, another strange voice came from inside the door, and the two seemed to be arguing.

Li Weisi knocked on the office door.

"Come in!" After hearing Li Weisi's knock on the door, the debate in the room stopped temporarily.

Pushing open the door, Li Weisi saw two young men sitting in the office. They looked alike and were both handsome, but their decadent appearance completely concealed their handsome faces.

In front of them was a new type of color TV. It had to be said that with a generous boss like Frank, there was really nothing to choose about the hardware.

Seeing that it was Li Weisi who came in, Stan stood up from his seat and said, "Hi, West, why are you here?"

"I'm here to get the video I talked about last time."

"Oh, yes, I remembered, wait a moment, I'll find it for you!" Stan patted his forehead, obviously he remembered such a thing.

Another young man also stood up at this time, came to Li Weisi, and said excitedly: "Hi, hello, my name is Jeff Van Gundy, and I am Stan's younger brother."

"Hello, West Lee." Li Weisi reached out and shook Jeff's hand.

"Ah, I found it, here it is, West!" Originally, Jeff wanted to continue talking to Li Weisi, but he never thought that Stan found the video tape and handed it to Li Weisi, interrupting the greetings between the two.

"Thank you!" After getting what he wanted, Li Weisi immediately turned and left without stopping.

"That..." Jeff looked a little disappointed, but he had no choice but to watch Li Weisi leave helplessly.

"Don't look at it, wait until next season, I'll see if I can recommend you to the team, and if you show some results, I can help you!" Stan comforted his brother.

Jeff said impatiently: "Got it, brother, I will work hard, I don't think I will be worse than you."

After walking out of the room, Li Weisi did not leave, but came to a video room again. He planned to watch the video for a while, but when he opened the door, he found a person sitting in the dark video room.

The black skin became a good camouflage, making it impossible for Li Weisi to see who the other party was.

"Pa-ta!" The light was turned on, and the dazzling light made Li Weisi stretch out his hand to cover the light.

"Hi, there's someone here."

After a while, Li Weisi regained his sight and saw the other party's identity clearly.

"Dennis, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here, and you're not the only one who can watch videos." This person was Rodman, who was sitting next to a pile of videotapes.

"What videotape are you watching?" Li Weisi stretched his head to look at the TV screen while speaking, but found that it was their previous game.

"Watching your shots, Moses told me that if you want to practice rebounding, you must be familiar with everyone's shots and make predictions in advance." Rodman said honestly.

"Moses is right, this is indeed a good way, but why don't you ask me? I have collected these data a long time ago."

"What do you mean?" Rodman didn't respond for a while.

"Come on, let me tell you, look at my shot. I was interfered by my opponent when I shot it. The arc was too high by 5 degrees, which led to..." Li Weisi, who is so good as a teacher, has already forgotten his original purpose at this moment , explained to Rodman with great interest.

After defeating the 76ers, the Warriors rested for two days, and then flew to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers who had already played against each other.

In the last match, the Blazers played abnormally and gave the Warriors a big victory. It will not be so easy for the Warriors to win this time.

At the beginning of the game, Portland, who was waiting for work, gave the Warriors a sap. Vandeweghe and Drexler shot from left to right. The two scored all the points of the Blazers and beat the Warriors 16:8.

This is the case with young teams. Their performance is extremely unstable. They can cover the moon for nine days at the top, and they can play five oceans at the bottom. Whether they are on or off the line, they are far beyond your bottom line.

Fortunately, this chaotic situation did not last long. In the middle of the first quarter, after a timeout requested by Nelson, the Warriors adjusted their state and stabilized the situation.

However, this alone cannot defeat the Blazers.

At this point, Blazers head coach Mike Schuler has Drexler and starting center Steve Johnson on the floor.

Since the Warriors had replaced Malone, Johnson broke out unexpectedly, and Duckworth was abused again. Later, when Malone came back, he found that Johnson could not be stopped.

At this time, Johnson, who was already crazy, was still in danger facing Malone. First, he used his footsteps to shake Malone into the air, and layup easily under the basket. Then he received a pass from Drexler and dunked down. Time became the master of the second quarter.

This led to the Blazers scoring a total of 38 points in the second quarter, with a score of 67:52 at halftime, pulling the score to 15 points.

In the third quarter, the Warriors seemed to finally wake up from their sleep and began to score frequently to chase points, but the Blazers did not give up too much. Vandeweghe stepped forward and hit consecutive mid-range shots to maintain the point difference.

This kind of game where people stand up every quarter, how can people play?
In this way, until the end, the Warriors failed to catch up with the point difference, and lost to the Trail Blazers in an away game 108:126, reaping the second loss of the season.

In this game, the Trail Blazers scored in double figures with 6 points, turned into soldiers of all people, and succeeded in revenge at home. After losing 4 games in the first game, they recently won three games in a row. team.

After losing in Portland, the Warriors had no time to lick their wounds, so they set off again to Cleveland in the east to challenge the defeated Cavaliers back to back.

Facing the young Cavaliers, the Warriors did not give the Cavaliers a chance and defeated the Cavaliers 112:104. It is worth mentioning that in this game Rod Higgins sprained his ankle in the third quarter, resulting in the need to rest for about a week .

One back to back, do you think it will be miserable? 5 days and 4 matches to find out.

In this way, the Warriors couldn't get the slightest respite, and immediately flew to Boston non-stop for the second back-to-back. The first enemy they faced was the powerful Celtics, the Boston Celtics.
