Chapter 671 Unexpected
Chapter 671 Unexpected
That day, Frank and others watched nearly ten videotapes. In these videotapes, there were high school students like Nash and Ray Allen, and college students like O'Neill and Grant Hill. It can be said that they were all young talents.
There are some that Frank asked to focus on, and some that Nelson launched scouts to find. It can be said that Frank spent a lot of money.
As for Nelson Jr., even though he completed the tasks assigned by Frank to the letter, or even overfulfilled, he actually didn't understand why Frank paid such a high price to make these videos.
Focusing on young players is certainly something every team needs, but doing it at such a cost like Frank's doesn't make sense.
After all, the NBA is not like the European football leagues. It has a youth training system, and you can stuff good seedlings into your team in advance. All rookies in the NBA have to go through the draft. Even if you are optimistic about him, you will not have a good pick in the end Signing, still can't choose those people, why bother?
However, although he didn't understand, little Nelson would not question the decision of the boss Frank, because in his opinion, he didn't understand because he was not capable enough to figure out the deep meaning of the boss. can go wrong.
It has to be said that it is no wonder that Nelson was so wise to beat the hearts of workers that he was not promoted by the fire line. Which boss would not love such a subordinate?
Of course, if Frank knew about Nelson Jr.'s state of mind, it would not be necessary to promote him like this. After all, Frank could responsibly say to Nelson Jr., "You think too much!"
The reason why Frank did this was mainly to confirm whether his butterfly effect had an impact on these players, and at the same time leave a valuable video material for himself.
That's it.
In fact, Frank has been doing this all the time. He has many game videos of Li Weisi from elementary school to college.
As for spending money? come on!
Frank would care about this?
After two days off, the Warriors finally won their first game of April, at home against the Heat.
The Heat, which has been determined to miss the playoffs, now has no pressure on the record, and the young players are playing more freely and unrestrainedly on the court. Several young players Glenn Rice, Sherman Douglas, Ronnie Sekali and others all have high hit rates.
Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, the Heat trailed the Warriors by 25 points at 39:15.
……
The reality is so cruel. Although the Heat played very hard and had a good shooting percentage, the difference in strength was too great. The confrontation between the two sides, in the end, turned into a unilateral massacre by the Warriors, and the Heat had no way of parrying. force.
Not only could the Heat fail to defend against the Warriors' offense, they even lost their own offense in the end.
The result of the first quarter of the game also foreshadowed the result of the whole game. In the end, the score was fixed at 127:112, and the Warriors beat the Heat.
After defeating the unthreatening Heat, on the 5th, the Warriors faced the Suns again, this time with a formidable opponent.
Of course, it is said that it is a strong enemy, but it is not that strong.
Because Tom Chambers, the sun's biggest star, actually truceed in this game.
Chambers, who is only 31 years old, has declined a bit this season, and his scoring average has even dropped to just over 20 points per game. In addition, several other starters are also missing games.
Fortunately, the growth of Tim Hardaway has allowed the Suns to maintain their playoff record this season, but compared to several other teams, they have fallen into a disadvantage, and now they are ranked seventh in the Western Conference. Just slightly better than the supersonic speed.
I thought that after the loss of Chambers and Eddie Johnson, there would be no suspense in this game. Unexpectedly, after the opening, the Warriors were the first to pull their hips.
It stands to reason that the starting lineup of the Suns tonight is already quite shabby. Tim Hardaway, Dan Marley, Ed Nelly, Kurt Rambis, and Mark West, composed of five people The composed starting lineup is simply not much better than the Heat.
However, what I didn't expect was that in the first quarter, facing such a lineup, the Warriors played in a mess. The three outsiders almost smashed the neck of the basket.
As for the Suns, Hardaway and Marley teamed up to play well, leading the Warriors by 11 points in the first quarter.
After that, although the Warriors regained their touch and their offense returned to normal, they were still unable to catch up with the score, and the point difference has been hovering around 10 points. No matter how they catch up, they can't even out the point difference.
In this way, I thought it was a game without suspense, but in the end, the Warriors lost the game 106:120.
However, after an upset loss to the weakened Suns, the Warriors' state has completely bottomed out.
On the second day, the Warriors faced the Kings in back-to-back away games. The Warriors never gave their opponents another chance. They crushed their opponents from both ends of the offense and defense. They clocked in three quarters and successfully won the game.
Then, after a day off, the Warriors will face a strong enemy again, and they will face the Spurs on the road.
Seeing that the end of the season is getting closer and closer, every game now is crucial, especially for a team like the Spurs.
Although the record of the Suns has gone down this season, the Jazz and Rockets have risen again, especially the Jazz, whose current record is the same as that of the Spurs, both of which are 50 wins and 24 losses. It can be said that they cannot lose a game.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that this game will be extremely intense.
From the first quarter, the two teams fell into a very anxious rhythm of the game. It can be seen that both sides regard this game as a playoff game.
Under the deliberate control of the Spurs, the tempo of the game has also been reduced to a minimum. The Spurs would rather miss a fast break opportunity than increase the tempo of the game.
Therefore, the pace of the game between the two teams was extremely slow. Although Li Weisi had been trying to speed up, the effect was still not good. The Spurs were well prepared for this game and retreated very quickly. They did not give Li Weisi a chance to lead the team to a fast break.
In this way, until the end of the three quarters, the Spurs only led the Warriors by 82 points with 79:3.
But what no one expected was that in the fourth quarter, the situation suddenly changed. The Spurs small forward Sean Elliott suddenly broke out. He made only 31% of his three-pointers this season. Hit 3 three-pointers.
Moreover, the Spurs also suddenly accelerated the rhythm in this quarter, and the transition was pushed up.
As a result, in less than 3 minutes, the point difference between the two teams quickly changed from 3 points to 13 points.
Later, Li Weisi and Mullin also hit a three-pointer one after another, but they could no longer catch up with the point difference. The score was fixed at 105:115. The Warriors lost to the Spurs by 10 points, which also allowed the Spurs to continue to maintain the Western Conference. fourth position.
