NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

During the halftime show of the All-Star Game, Taylor invited Yue Yi to the stage to interact. After the game, the two took intimate photos together. The media reporters also photographed them entering a high-end restaurant and then going in and out of the hotel together.

The relationship between the two quickly made various headlines, and the popularity was higher than Yue Yi's winning of the All-Star MVP.

On the special plane back to Oakland, Yue Yi was a little uninterested in dating Taylor.

Apart from her fame and initiative, she can only be described as unremarkable in other aspects.

It's not very interesting.

Everyone is in the mood to have a date and have fun, and after the matter is done, there is only emptiness left.

It's better to chat with Kong Yunning and talk nonsense. It's more interesting to chat about daily life.

Since the phone call on Valentine's Day, Yue Yi has become much more proactive, and the call with Kong Yunning has become a part of daily life. After the All-Star holiday, the league teams are back on track and preparing for their respective goals.

Most teams are aiming for the playoffs, and the strong teams are aiming for the championship.

Not all teams are aiming for the playoffs. Some teams are mainly training newcomers. There are also a few teams whose only goal is to be bad, and the worse the record, the better.

The Warriors' goal is clear, for the championship.

They have the strength to challenge the championship throne, and the team has a Hall of Fame-level superstar veteran who always conveys his belief in winning the championship to those around him.

This veteran who has been in the league for 16 years is eager for the championship, and he is Kidd.

For this, he can make a lot of sacrifices for the team.

For example, as a future Hall of Fame member, he is willing to be a substitute for a rookie.

Stephen Curry's performance is getting better and better in the second half of the season, and his three-point shooting is becoming more and more stable. He can score 3.2 three-pointers per game and contribute 16.4 points.

Curry's connection with Yue Yi on the court allows Kidd to see the future of the Warriors, which will be an extremely powerful backcourt double gun.

In Kidd's view, Curry is not his favorite student because the two are not players of the same style.

He is not as versatile as himself. As a point guard, his organizational ability is slightly insufficient, his body is thin and his confrontation is poor, his defensive ability needs to be improved, and his sense of rebounding is not as good as himself.

But the shooting ability shown by this kid in his first season is obviously better than his own. His accurate three-pointer makes him feel that he is far behind.

This advantage is huge, enough to make him an All-Star in the future.

This kid's shooting ability can make him a sharp weapon beside Yue Yi.

Yue Yi's physical fitness is much stronger than when he first met him. Now he has both offense and defense, and he has very good organizational skills and off-ball ability.

His technical characteristics allow him to be compatible with any partner. Yue Yi can shake Curry's shortcomings, and Yue Yi can also maximize Curry's shooting advantage.

Yue Yi can take on Curry's organizational burden, and he can pass the ball to Curry.

His presence makes other teams dare not double-team Curry, because he himself is a bigger offensive threat.

He attracts the opponent's defense and allows Curry to get more and better opportunities.

On the defensive end, Yue Yi's defensive willingness and defensive experience are very sufficient, and his physical condition is also abnormally excellent. Whether it is lateral speed or reaction speed, he can keep an eye on his own target while helping to defend Curry's defensive target.

As long as Curry continues to improve, the Warriors' backcourt double guns will definitely be the most terrifying combination in the league in the future.

Kidd really wants to see it sooner, so he can play as a substitute to let the two cooperate more.

When Curry scored 32 points against the Knicks on February 29, Kidd took the initiative to mention Curry to the starting lineup.

Nelson asked the team's absolute core Yue Yi for his opinion before making a decision.

In the NBA, being a head coach is a high-risk industry, and it may be reported at any time that a head coach has been fired.

Moreover, as a mature business league, the NBA does not have a high status in the team. Players and coaches are colleagues, and everyone just has different divisions of labor.

In some teams, the opinions of star players can often determine whether the head coach's job can be kept.

Of course, there are star players and star coaches. Whoever is more influential and more useful to the team will have the right to speak.

Nelson is undoubtedly a famous star coach, but if Yue Yi and he are in a mess and can only choose one, the Warriors management will choose Yue Yi without hesitation.

It's just that this situation will never happen in the Warriors.

Yue Yi has maintained absolute respect for Nelson. He is grateful to the old man for his kindness.

When he was a rookie who was not selected, Nelson could do whatever he wanted.

But Nelson gave him a lot of opportunities, enough playing time, and a lot of care.

The person Yue Yi was most grateful to was Nelson for being able to play well in the early stages.

So now that he can use his temper to decide the team's operation and team tactical arrangements, Yue Yi has never done such a thing.

He never interferes with Nelson's work. Even if he has his own ideas from a God's perspective, he will go to Nelson in the form of suggestions and discussions.

In the team, he takes the lead in respecting Nelson. From top to bottom, no one in this Warriors team dares to disrespect Nelson. The

Warriors have always had a harmonious team atmosphere, and the team culture has been on the right track. Moreover, it is becoming more and more team-oriented, from colleagues to friends and family.

Although Kidd came from the Nets, he is a future Hall of Fame player. In terms of status, the team should give him enough respect.

On the competitive level, although his form is declining, he is not that old yet, and he can still provide a lot of help to the team on the court. With him around, Yue Yi can focus on scoring. Yue Yi feels at ease with his big brother around.

Although he is full of firepower when partnering with Curry, Yue Yi has to worry more with the current Curry. He has to help Curry with defense and devote his energy to organizing the team's offense.

When the veterans still have energy to spare, the newcomers should not jump too happily, but should hone their technical skills on the bench.

This is a better way to build team culture.

Yue Yi did not agree, and he told Kidd to stay in the starting position and not to be lazy and play as a substitute this season.

Yue Yi teased him,"Jason, you old guy, you get the highest salary in the team, and you want to retire on the bench?"

"That won't do. I've played with you for more than two seasons, and I'm used to you passing the ball to me at the beginning of the game."

The team's lineup remained unchanged and continued to impact the rankings.
