Chapter 15 Continuation of the playoffs

For the Warriors, there are actually many things to do, such as the renewal of Curry and Keynes. Although Curry can't rank as the starting guard, he is definitely qualified for the highest middle-class contract. Keynes' rookie contract will end this season, and the Warriors have to spend a top middle-class contract to retain it. Besides, Aix and Jobs' salary will be 10 million next season, so it may be difficult for the Warriors to pay such a high salary. For the Warriors, this season may be their biggest opportunity, because they may have great player changes next season.

What the Warriors need to play in the opening match is the Thunder, which was eliminated by the Warriors last season. The Thunder's Gemini are becoming more and more mature, but obviously they have not achieved corresponding results. At most, they will reach the Western Conference Finals, which is far from enough for a superstar. Moreover, the highlights of the two teams include the matchup between Lin Fei and Westbrook, and the scores of Lin Fei and Durant, especially Lin Fei broke out in the last moment to grab the scoring champion Durant had already obtained. It makes people feel excited when they think about it.

The Warriors shouted the slogan in the new season: It's time. Indeed, it's almost the turn of the Warriors after so many years.

The Warriors' season ticket sales were full, setting a record in the league, which also indirectly reflects how great the expectations for the Warriors are.

The main lineup that continues, Lin Fei, Keynes, Aix, Jobs, and Clauderson. The sixth man is obviously going to be completed by Curry. Lin Fei and Keynes are entering the year of playing, while Aix and Jobs are in the year of playing, and Clauderson is also in the end of the year of playing.

At the beginning of the preseason, the Warriors basically did not use their main players, and at most they only played for more than ten minutes. However, the Warriors were not at a disadvantage in the game against the Spurs and Mavericks. The Warriors' high-quality speed was so difficult to resist under the substitute. The Warriors' final record was not ideal, but Nelson undoubtedly pushed the surprise to the regular season. Everyone knows that the preseason is played and basically does not show any strength.

The battle is imminent. Nelson told his disciples that after this season, he may consider not coaching the Warriors anymore because he is already in his seventies. He is already a coach of a thousand wins, but he has not won a championship yet, and his running and shooting has not been truly verified by the championship.

The words "champion" and "emotion" will undoubtedly become the two most powerful words for Warriors players to strive for.

The first game was at home of the Warriors. The commentator started with the Thunder at the beginning, "Do you still remember the feeling of being eliminated last year?" "Oh! Dear Ms. Durant (does you undoubtedly mock Durant's playing style), remember how your scoring champion was snatched by the Time Machine?" The time machine quoted here happened to be the nickname "Time Machine" given by O'Neal, and it really spread quickly!

The Thunder team was so excited.

At the beginning, the Thunder grabbed the ball. Westbrook took the ball and directly made a difficult counter-layout. He scored the first point of the Thunder this season.

The Warriors did not show any weakness and directly made a quick break. Lin Fei broke through to the free throw line and passed the ball to Aix at the 45-degree angle behind him. Aix held the ball and directly avoided Durant and rushed to the inside, which also made a layup.

Then the Thunder were so full of energy that they made a fast break. The fast break undoubtedly seemed to Durant and Westbrook became the protagonists. Westbrook dribbled quickly and forced Lin Fei to attack. At the same time, Lin Fei also blocked Westbrook's throwing line. Westbrook passed the ball to Durant on the outside, and Durant directly scored a hit. This young man's ecstasy pulling was becoming more and more like McGrath. Even the power of this move was even better than that of McGrath at his peak.

Seeing such an aggressive Durant directly stimulated Lin Fei's desire to score. Lin Fei held the ball and dodged the defense of the Thunder defensive players in succession, and rushed to the center line. From the high-altitude camera, Lin Fei was like a sharp knife inserted into the frontcourt of the Thunder. All the players of the Thunder know that the most terrifying thing about Lin Fei is his three-pointer, especially the long-range three-pointer at the moment. Durant and Westbrook were still chasing him.

During the journey, Lin Fei jumped directly while running, his body was still drifting, and he made a three-pointer. This is almost Lin Fei's unique skill. The ball stayed in Lin Fei's hand for a moment, and there was a pause before he took action. The fans have not seen such a beautiful curve for a long time. The ball rippled in the air, as if it had penetrated into the hearts of the people. It hits. This stadium has not been applauded for a long time. This is undoubtedly announcing Lin Fei's arrival.

After a period of the game, the Thunder began to adjust their tactics and focus on Perkins, who mainly plays in the inside. After all, the players' physical strength is limited. Although they focus on the inside, they undoubtedly need strong outside lines as cover. The Warriors forced Clauderson to defend Perkins alone. Of course, Perkins would not miss such an opportunity. They directly squeezed Clauderson to the basket and hit the hook.

When such a situation occurs, Nelson knows that the opportunity has come. He knows that after Thunder coach Scott Brooks lost to the Warriors last season, he must have been looking for a way to defeat the Warriors. In the end, the Thunder will definitely be nothing more than continuing to strengthen Lin Fei's defense and assisting defense on the defensive end, and paying more attention to internal and external cooperation on the offensive end, and no longer rely too much on the performance of Gemini.

From the perspective of tactical concepts, the Thunder are undoubtedly correct, but they are facing the Warriors, which is a "scattered team". On the surface, the players' running positions and ball running lines are very scattered, but their offense has never been scattered. In analogy to literature, it is "the shape is scattered but the spirit is not scattered". Their offense is also similar to Dugu Nine Swords, which lies in a "sword intent", not the sword move itself. There is no move that cannot be broken in the world. As long as the "intention" is scattered, it will naturally come from the heart, and no move is better than a move.

The reason why Nelson knew that the opportunity came was because of the Thunder's moves was directly because the Thunder exposed the flaws. Once the Thunder mainly attacked the inside, the speed would be lower. No matter whether the ball was entered or not, the next time the Warriors attacked, the Thunder's inside players had already penetrated the Warriors' penalty area, and the running back would naturally slow down. The Warriors' most powerful thing is that their forward and back line are all fast attack experts. If the Thunder has a defense that combines internal and external, the Warriors will eventually take action from the outside in order to pay attention to speed. Once the Thunder is slower, the Warriors can play a fast attack that combines internal and external.

Sure enough, after the Thunder mainly attacked the inside, the Warriors held the ball by outside players for three consecutive times, and assisted the inside players to succeed, all the inside players made easy layups, exposing the Thunder's defensive loopholes.

The Warriors took the initiative and took the lead by 10 points. The Thunder, who was originally trying to avenge a single arrow, was stunned and seemed to see the gap with the Warriors.

Even though the opening game was a little bit of a small defeat, the Thunder team had a combination of Gemini after all, so they would definitely not give up. Besides, the first quarter is not over yet. The last killer of many teams is to start the superstar's personal singles mode, and the Thunder team is no exception.

Scott Brooks saw that the more you want to defend the Warriors, the more you get beaten into a plug. It is better to change to a normal defensive strategy, one defense, one, the simplest, and the effect looks the best.

Westbrook is still defending Lin Fei. It is estimated that these two players will have to stand up sooner or later. Originally, Westbrook, Ross and Wall were considered representative figures of the new generation of attacking point guards in the league, and they are almost the same in terms of strength. However, as soon as Lin Fei appears, the evaluation of the point guards becomes a mess, and they are basically heading towards Lin Fei. But Westbrook will never bow to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was in control of the ball, and Westbrook simply leaned on Lin Fei tightly. You should know that this would be easy to be deceived by the opponent to commit a foul, but only in this way could Lin Fei not easily get rid of his defense.

Lin Fei knew at this time that Lin Fei, who originally didn't like physical contact, simply forced a breakthrough like this, but Westbrook was on his waist and gently pressed against Lin Fei. Lin Fei could not pass by. Turning around, Westbrook saw this, and took a step forward and pressed Lin Fei. Lin Fei turned around again, slightly distanced from Westbrook, but he changed direction, but he still did not shake Westbrook. Lin Fei then turned around again, but he was half-turned, and his shoulders moved, but he didn't move. To put it bluntly, it was a fake move. Westbrook was fooled, Lin Fei took the opportunity to pass, and Westbrook could only watch Lin Fei's back left. Lin Fei then killed the inside. At this time, the Warriors no longer had the rhythm of fast attack. Lin Fei turned around with a big step inside, directly avoiding the Thunder's inside barrier, and went to the bottom line three-point line. Lin Fei then turned around for the second time, and then made a jump shot.

Shocked everyone.

In an attack, Lin Fei dribbled the ball, and the action of turning around was really vivid.

Should I make a totem for this guy's shooting and turning? It's really necessary.
Chapter completed!
