NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

It was rest time today. Yue Yi threw his luggage into the small den in the staff dormitory, took a short rest, and immediately returned to the arena.

After arriving at the arena, I found that there were many players practicing on their own at the training ground.

It was rare that the next game was played six days apart. Yue Yi originally thought that these people would go home early and enjoy the small benefits brought by the schedule.

The team's motivation to win is still there, which is very important and critical.

After practicing until night, Yue Yi was the last one to practice extra. When he returned to the dormitory room, he saw Penny lying on the bed bored and watching TV series.

"Yue Yi, you practiced so late again, don't work too hard on yourself."

Seeing Yue Yi coming back, Penny jumped up from the bed and threw herself into Yue Yi's arms.

"There's no other way. I need to improve my skills, sign a big contract, and buy you a big house to live in."Yue Yi kissed her hair and said gently.

Penny raised her head, her beautiful big eyes full of expectation:"Then you have to leave some time for me, your team is on holiday these days, let's go to Las Vegas to play, okay, Yi."

Yue Yi shook his head,"I'm sorry, baby, now is not the time for me to play, I have to train in the gym"

"All right."

Penny didn't say much, she was very disappointed, but she quickly adjusted herself and said with a smile:"How about I practice with you these few days?"

""Okay", Yue Yi nodded and asked,"Penny, you will feel wronged if you come with me? I have no money, no power, and no time."

Penny leaned on Yue Yi's arms and said,"It doesn't matter, you will have all these in the future, I believe you."

At this moment, Yue Yi felt warm in his heart, and Penny lived in his heart.

Due to the small number of flights, most of the crew members of the Warriors special plane are part-time airline personnel, and they have other flights to fly.

Penny is an exception. She is full-time. Except for flying the Warriors special plane, she is very idle on weekdays.

When she was not working before, she either went out to play or hung out at home and in the company. Anyway, she was not short of money. For several days in a row, Yue Yi practiced in the gym, and Penny was always with him, picking up the ball for him, wiping his sweat, and feeding him water.

Before, the relationship between the two was still hidden in the gym. In the past few days, the staff of the gym have known about this couple. Fang Mian, a Chinese reporter who accompanied the team, also did an exclusive interview with the two and published it in domestic newspapers.

Penny is very happy these days, the only thing that makes her unhappy is a little bit Yes, Yue Yi restrained the number of times they exercised at night, and told her that young people should know how to be moderate. He also told her an ancient poem,"If you exercise too frequently when you are young, you will regret it when you are old."

Penny had no idea what the ancient Chinese poem meant. She used Google to check, but couldn't find the poem at all. Instead, she found a similar one,"If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old." Google told her that it meant that you should work harder when you are young, so that you won't be unable to work when you are old.

That night, Penny told Yue Yi this poem, saying that she understood the true meaning of this poem and that Chinese culture is profound.

Then, he asked for it many times.

At the strong request of her old father, Penny took the time to go back home, and Yue Yi drove her home in her Lamborghini.

The bright red convertible sports car was driving on the road, and Yue Yi stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the wind blew across his face, wanton and unrestrained. He is used to driving an old... Yue Yi, who was driving an old pickup truck, was holding the steering wheel of a Lamborghini. The difference in driving pleasure was really like heaven and earth. He thought to himself that this feeling was indeed unique. No wonder Fast and Furious could be filmed one after another.

Under the guidance of Penny, Yue Yi drove a bright red sports car to a luxurious estate in the mountains, which was the residential area of the top wealthy people in San Francisco.

When they arrived at a villa, the two got out of the car and walked into it.

Americans like to hold some parties. This time it was a family gathering of Noah's family, and not many people attended.

Penny's father, Arthur Noah, relied on his keen investment vision when he was young and accumulated a rich family fortune in the electronics industry, and then switched to the field of luxury goods.

Noah's family is not large. Arthur has only one brother, and Arthur's children are only Jack and Penny.

Under the guidance of Penny, Yue Yi and Penny's uncle Yue Yi greeted the family.

When he saw Penny's uncle Adam Noah, Yue Yi always felt that he was like a big boss in an American gangster movie.

He was wearing a black suit and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

Although the two brothers Adam and Arthur looked very similar, their temperaments were very different.

Arthur usually wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was a successful businessman at first glance. He was friendly and easy to get close to.

Adam, on the other hand, gave people a full sense of oppression. If he suddenly took out a gun from his waist, Yue Yi would not find it strange at all.

Adam's three sons were also among them, and they all looked like they were not easy to mess with.

However, the way they looked at Penny was full of tenderness, and their words were very doting. Who told them that Penny was the only girl in their Noah family.

Yue Yi felt a little scared. If they knew that the little princess of their Noah family often licked his boots for him, he didn't know if they would kill him.

Penny was chatting happily with the women of Adam's family. From time to time, she looked at Yue Yi and giggled.

Women gossip, men talk about ball.

Sitting on the big sofa, Adam stretched out his hand again

"The Warriors' No. 0 rookie, let's take a closer look from the perspective of fans and players"

"I am a fan of the Warriors, but your team has disappointed us fans. You have lost five games in a row."

Yue Yi was embarrassed. As a member of the team, it was quite embarrassing when a fan mentioned the five-game losing streak.

I wanted to say a few perfunctory words to get it over with, but I didn't expect Adam to know more about basketball than Arthur.

"Your starting five have problems passing the ball on the court, and the shooting guard needs to be replaced."

This is a sharp point.

The Suns also play run-and-gun, so why can they rely on this style of play to get the first place in the regular season and occupy the top team in the league for many years, while the Warriors can only hover on the edge of the playoffs?

Part of the reason is the ball possession.

The Suns have the ball in the hands of the core player Nash, who organizes and distributes it. No one on the court can stick to the ball for a long time, including Nash himself.

The Golden State Warriors, which rose to prominence with Curry as the core, were similar. The ball was passed quickly, and whoever had a good opportunity would shoot. There was no absolute attack point.

The main reason why the Warriors won the championship was that they did better on the defensive end than the Suns back then.

The current This Warriors team has a weak link in the starting five that no one has discovered yet, and that is Monta Ellis.

It's not that his offensive power is not strong enough. On the contrary, Ellis's scoring ability is excellent, which many people have seen.

But there is a problem with Ellis's playing style. He is not a good team player. His playing style is independent. He likes to work alone with his own speed and doesn't like to pass the ball, which makes the Warriors' ball conduction on the court stagnant.

And his personal ability is not up to the level of Kobe and James, and he can't lead the team to victory with his personal super ability.

This is also the reason why the Warriors can't make the playoffs once in the next few years after supporting him as the core.
