I'm really good at shooting.

Before that, the ball market shrank a lot because it was bad for several years.

But with the selection of Durant and Oden, and the addition of Sun Hao, it became very big just like blowing up a balloon.

Although it can't keep up with the super big cities like Los Angeles and New York, it has grown rapidly into the first line of the league in a short period of time.

And one more thing that cannot be ignored is the Chinese market here.

In the entire Bay Area, a full 20% of the people are Chinese. This proportion is larger than that of Los Angeles and New York, and it is the first in the United States!

So it's not surprising what happened.

On the day of the match, Nelson only arranged a daily training session that was open to the public in the morning.

Basically, it is shooting shots, running positions, tactical adjustments and so on, which will not be known to the outside world.

Moreover, in a fight with Popovich, the old Nelson also set off smoke bombs when interviewing reporters after training.

"I haven't had a good rest these two days, because there are players like Sun on the team. If I am eliminated in the first round, I will be fired."

Old Nelson first made fun of himself.

"I didn't think of any good countermeasures. You know that the characteristics of young teams are instability, and I can't play for them?"

Then when the reporter asked him what he did to deal with it, he also had a gloomy expression on his face.

The reporter is convinced.

Because of these problems, it is indeed the most difficult for the Warriors at present.

After all, it is almost impossible for the Warriors to replicate the first game.

In the afternoon of the same day, many fans began to pour into the Oracle Arena.

When Sun Hao went to the arena to warm up two hours in advance, he found that there were already thousands of fans sitting in the arena.

Curry has also arrived.

Under the booing of the fans, Sun Hao performed a few ultra-long and three-pointers in the channel, which fully satisfied the home fans.

This wave is also a powerful fan.

But just off the court, Curry's eyes are staring.

He also wants to be like Sun Hao one day in the future!

The warm-up is about the same, and there are more and more fans on the scene.

Sun Hao went to the sidelines to rest, and chatted with Curry by the way.

"Do you want me to play in Oakland?"

Curry asked him a very strange question.

It felt like he could come if he wanted to.

Are the Warriors ready to trade picks up and commit to Curry?

Not impossible.

Especially now that the Warriors are in charge of West.

West's operation has always been with a long-term vision.

But Sun Hao is just guessing.

He has not been in the Warriors for a long time, and he will not interfere with management affairs.

Curry asks him now, and the answer he will give is also his personal opinion.

"I do not want."

Sun Hao replied.

"why?"

Curry looked surprised.

He thought that Sun Hao would also miss him to join the Warriors!

"Your talent needs a bigger stage."

Of course, Sun Hao didn't want Curry to go to the Warriors. After all, in terms of team staffing, the team's first backup point guard is CJ Watson.

Watson's strength and talent are average. Being a substitute is not bad, but it won't be good either.

If Curry can replace Watson's current position, it will be a great improvement to the strength of the Warriors.

However, playing on the bench is too much for Curry.

Even if it is true as he guessed, the Warriors are willing to use Livingston as a bargaining chip in exchange. With him as a mountain, Curry's performance will definitely not be as good as in the same period in history.

Some people say no, it will be easier for Curry to play next to Sun Hao!

This is indeed true, but the problem is that the Warriors still have Durant, and Curry is a third-in-command if he comes tonight.

Like he said, the stage is too small for Curry.

And let alone waiting until he retires, his ability, if he wants to hit 40+, there is absolutely no problem.

Although it is not ruled out that he will definitely stay in the Warriors, it is not ruled out that he will!

Especially when he had a stalemate with the Lakers management, was booed by fans, and was given the starting position by Durant.

He has sunk deeper and deeper into the pit of the Warriors.

"New York is a great choice."

Sun Hao continued.

The results of the previous lottery came out, and the Knicks were ranked third. It would be very good if Curry could be selected in this position.

And the Knicks finally got rid of Marbury last season. Now they have Beasley inside, but they lack a point guard outside.

In addition, New York is a city larger than Los Angeles, and Curry will attract fans there.

And after getting along with Curry for so many years, he also knows Curry's character very well.

Although he looks thin, his heart is strong.

The feasting and debauchery in New York will not shake his heart.

Curry was silent for a moment.

He didn't express his opinion, but judging from his expression, he was a bit tangled.

Sun Hao didn't say much.

It's good that he is Curry's "uncle", but he doesn't have the desire to control and force Curry to go where.

Originally, where Curry went was entirely the choice of Curry and the NBA team.

Now only Curry asked him, and he gave his own advice.

The game was about to start, and he also finished chatting with Curry, and then got up to play.

This is the Warriors' first home game in this year's playoffs. Before the opening ceremony, there will be another small ceremony.

Durant had won the most improved award before, and he chose to accept the award at home.

This is also a good confidence boost for the Warriors.

When it comes to the Most Improved Award, there has always been a rumor that there is a curse, saying that after winning the Most Improved Award, you will play poorly in the second year.

For example, Brooks was injured in the second year after winning the award and was replaced and finally wandered. Granger was also injured and quickly fell from a quasi-superstar to disappearing from the league in a short time after winning the award. There are also Ellis and Turkog. Lu, Oladipo and so on.

But spells are something that sometimes really depends on people.

For a player with the attributes of Matt Kay like Jimmy Butler, the curse cannot move him.

As strong as Alphabet Song, the spell is also ineffective against him.

Durant is naturally not afraid of this.

You must know that his Most Improved Award has an additional thing, the scoring champion!

When Durant got the trophy, he immediately indicated that he wanted to touch Sun Hao.

Fortunately, the staff reminded him to give a short acceptance speech first, so he turned around.

"Thank you to my mom, thank you Coach Nelson, thank you Sun, I wouldn't have won this award without them."

This award acceptance speech is really short and true, there is not even a polite name.

But Sun Hao is already used to it.

Sure enough, nothing can escape time. If Durant was more polite, he would feel uncomfortable instead.

There were also cheers and whistles at the scene.

Such players are really rare, but the truth makes them a little unbearable to like.

As soon as the awards ceremony was over, Durant handed the trophy to Sun Hao, with an expression that looked like he was taking home a certificate.

After the awards ceremony, the opening ceremony followed.

It was at this time that the old Nelson's adjustments were officially surfaced.

Sun Hao, Azubuike, Durant, Landry, Oden!

A new starting lineup!

Chapter 593 Do You Believe In Light? (Are you still celebrating the New Year on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?)

The smoke bombs before the game, Durant's award ceremony, coupled with this new starting lineup, the Warriors can be said to be fully prepared for tonight's game.

However, when the camera is shown on the Spurs bench, Popovich's expression is relatively calm.

It didn't look like he was faking, but he seemed to have predicted the old Nelson's adjustment in advance.

This is not surprising, Popovich's on-the-spot is average, but the response between the field and the field is very good.

This point has been verified as early as when the Spurs beat the Mavericks.

It will not be that simple for the Warriors to win tonight's game.

On the Spurs side, Popovich has no lineup adjustments, it is still Parker, Mason, Jackson, Bonner and Duncan.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the game started quickly.

After the Warriors lineup was adjusted, Sun Hao began to organize the offense.

The Spurs' strategy is to attack decisively.

At the beginning, both Durant and Landry showed excellent form, and made consecutive shots after receiving passes from Sun Hao.

The Spurs flanked, Sun Hao made a pass, and others scored;

The Spurs don't flank, Sun Hao can rely on his own personal ability to attack.

This is also the best model that old Nelson wants.

But after the game was played, it returned to the feeling of the second game.

But this time it's not that the Warriors have a problem with their own state, but their mentality has been messed up!

Basketball is not simply a competition of skills and tactics, there are many "strategies".

The Spurs' strategy is to make various subtle moves during physical confrontation, and then trash talk at the right time.

Those who have played ball should know that such small movements make people uncomfortable, and the referee often can't see it, which can easily make people angry.

Professional players will have stronger self-control in this aspect, but there are also high and low points, and young players are obviously almost there.

This is also Popovich's biggest response.

In the opening game, Nelson grabbed the Spurs' seven-inch hit, but in Game 3, he also grabbed the Warriors' seven-inch hit!

No one is without weaknesses!After the first quarter, the Spurs led the Warriors by 24 points 21 to 3.

During the transition from the bench, Sun Hao rested off the court, and Durant led the team on the court.

Durant's state today is actually not bad, but he obviously lost himself in the entanglement with Jackson in the first quarter.

Jackson is not at this moment, he began to show his talent in scoring.
