I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 194 Unavoidable internal conflicts

After defeating the defending champion Lakers, the Warriors players felt elated and slapped the experts and celebrities who were not optimistic about them before, very relieved.

The outside media also followed suit and reported positive news about the Warriors to create enthusiasm.

The Warriors did not take these compliments to heart. It is not important to them. What is important is that some problems were discovered in the opening game.

In order to solve the problem, the Warriors coaching staff worked overtime overnight to discuss.

"With the addition of Tyson and Tony, as well as Steve's defensive philosophy, we played phenomenal defense tonight, which is very good and deserves recognition."

Although the old Nelson is not good at defense, he is not resistant to defense.

After seeing what happened to the Suns in recent years, his concept has changed, and he knows that offense cannot win the championship.

Therefore, Nelson Sr. strongly supported his assistant coaches in developing defensive tactics.

This is why Chandler, Tony Allen and others were introduced during the offseason.

If the Warriors want to continue playing pure run-and-gun tactics, they will spare no effort to trade Stoudemire.

After the old Nelson praised the achievements of the coaching staff, he continued: "Although the strength of the team is improving in an orderly manner, there are also some problems. Steve, tell me."

After Steve Kerr was named, he went directly to the topic and stated the problems he discovered.

"First of all, our tactical cooperation still lacks tacit understanding. We often made mistakes during the game and need to improve in the next game."

The Warriors made a lot of exchanges during the offseason, and it will definitely take time for the old to bring the new to develop a tacit understanding.

"Secondly, I found that the defense of the starting back line is still too weak. It is necessary to stagger Stephen and Monta to play, and the effect may be better."

Although Curry and Ellis are actively defending, they are limited by their physical conditions and are easy to be targeted by opponents.

"Finally, I think the core training plan formulated by the previous coaching staff needs to be slowed down, otherwise it will cause unnecessary internal conflicts."

After listening to Cole's analysis, other coaches nodded in agreement.

But this is not something that can be solved overnight, it needs to be figured out gradually.

Old Nelson said after listening: "Thank you, Steve, your analysis is very detailed, and you have found one of the biggest problems we need to solve in the new season. We have to find a way to balance in the following games.

Although it is difficult, we have noticed the problem and have enough time to adjust afterwards. "

After analyzing the problem, start solving it.

The coaching staff of the Warriors discussed and solved some small problems first. As for those big problems, they can only take a little time to grind.

After the coaching staff set the tone for the new season, the Warriors continued their journey for the new season.

……

……

On November 11, the Warriors ushered in the second game of the new season, and they will go to Sacramento to challenge the Kings.

During the offseason, the Kings made no achievements in the free market, and the team's strength failed to be strengthened.

Their goal in the new season is to continue to develop Evans and this year's fifth pick Derrick Favors. As long as they perform well, the Kings will naturally rise completely.

After the start of the game, Evans, who was highly praised by the league in the new season, was full of confidence and wanted to lead the team to an upset victory by himself and make big news.

But the game process was completely different from what he had imagined.

At the beginning of the game, Evans was targeted by the Warriors. Sun Yi, Tony Allen and others took turns to die, and the potential star was beaten without temper.

After Evans was completely restrained, the Kings were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no resistance at all.

In this way, amid the Warriors' wild bombing, the Kings were quickly defeated. After all, the difference in strength between the two teams was too big.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Kings 122-94 and won two consecutive games.

Sun Yi once again won the honor of the best player of the game.

在上场的30分钟内，得到了28分6篮板8助攻2抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

After the game, Sun Yi stepped forward to "comfort" Evans who was depressed after losing.

"Terek, winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists. As long as you continue to work hard, you still have a chance to win us."

Originally, Evans thought that Sun Yi came to comfort him sincerely, and his mood became much better.

But when he heard the next words, he couldn't help but want to beat that bitch Sun Yi up.

"Only if you work hard, you will know how big the gap is between you and me. Some gaps cannot be narrowed by hard work!"

After completing the daily piercing, Sun Yi quickly left the place of right and wrong before Evans broke out.

Seeing the back of Sun Yi leaving, Evans clenched his fists, planning to redouble his training after going back, and impress Sun Yi in the next match.

After defeating the Kings, the Warriors rushed back to Oakland without stopping to face the Houston Mosaics in back-to-back games.

Last season, the Mosaic team was the home team of the Huaxia fans. Even if Dayao recovered from his injury, the domestic fans still followed the Mosaic team's games.

But in the new season, this phenomenon is gone forever.

After Dayao was traded to the Mavericks during the offseason, sports channels and some video sites immediately made adjustments, and the number of broadcasts of Mosaic games in the new season became less and less.

At the same time, fans changed their tunes and joined the Warriors and Mavericks fans, causing a large loss of Mosaic fans.

It can be said that Dayao's departure had a certain impact on the Mosaic team.

After Dayao left, it was announced that the Yao-Mai period was completely over, and the Mosaic team began a journey of reconstruction.

Facing the weak Mosaic team, the Warriors easily won the game without much effort.

Relying on the outstanding performance of Sun Yi, David Lee and others, the Warriors defeated the Mosaic team 108-89 and won three consecutive victories.

Sun Yi continued his excellent form in this game, scoring 27 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.

After the game, Sun Yi took the initiative to chat with Battier and sent a signal of invitation.

Knowing his situation, Battier nodded and agreed, saying that if he was to be traded, he would apply to the team to go to the Warriors.

At this stage, the Mosaic team is starting to rebuild, and all players in their hands may be traded for draft picks.

The Warriors still have quite a lot of draft picks, so they can participate appropriately and bring Battier over for further reinforcement.

……

……

After playing three games in the new season, each team has exposed various problems.

The Warriors had solved some small problems before, but they didn't expect a big problem to explode suddenly.

In the previous few games, Ellis felt more and more that his team's core position had been challenged, and some opinions appeared.

It is normal for Xiao Gongju to have opinions, after all, his interests are involved.

After the start of the new season, the Warriors coaching staff focused on training Curry to become a core player, and gave him more tasks, began to control a lot of ball rights, and assumed the important task of team organization.

And Sun Yi was the core player of the team last season, and no one can shake this position.

This puts Monta Ellis, the original core player of the Warriors, in a very embarrassing situation.

Therefore, when this situation occurs, some problems will inevitably arise.

A team can only have two cores coexisting at most, and other players must make certain sacrifices, change their style of play, and transform into functional role players.

Those Big Three teams in history have players who have made sacrifices. Ray Allen of the Celtics, Love of the Cavaliers, Bosh of the Heat, etc. are the best examples.

The Warriors coaching staff didn't expect this to happen so quickly.

Originally, it took a lot of time to cultivate the core of the team, but Sun Yi and Curry grew too fast, which led to the failure of normal handover, and some conflicts with the original core Ellis.

In theory, Curry will make some sacrifices, but he has a better understanding with Sun Yi, and he is more of a threat than Ellis from beyond the three-point line.

Moreover, with the strong rise of Sun Yi in the new season, he has been able to make up for Ellis' offensive role on the offensive end.

To put it bluntly, what Ellis can do, Sun Yi can also do, and he can do better.

If Ellis does not change his style of play, then the contradictions will be completely intensified, and problems will arise within the team.

If that happens, there will definitely be players leaving.

Judging from the current situation, Ellis is more likely to leave.

Faced with such a problem, the coaching staff of the Warriors are extremely troubled. They only hope that Ellis can understand the general situation in order to get a perfect result.

The rest of the team had mixed results. The Mavericks and Spurs got off to a good start and won three consecutive victories.

The Mavericks defeated the Heat in the opening game and gave the Heat a blow to the Big Three. The morale of the team is high, and all aspects are developing in a good direction.

Nowitzki, the core of the team, gradually integrated into the team style of play formulated by Carlisle, which made the Mavericks' strength to a higher level.

Yao, who came back from injury, is gradually recovering, and his playing time is gradually increasing, and Yao's style of play is very suitable for Carlisle's system, so he, a latecomer, integrated into the Mavericks system one step faster than Nowitzki.

The Spurs' three-game winning streak at the beginning did not attract much attention. They developed very quietly and secretly, hoping to surprise everyone.

Some teams started off well and didn't disappoint the fans, then there are teams that failed the fans' expectations.

The Heat, the most promising team before the start of the new season, suffered three consecutive losses and had a very bad start.

For a time, the Heat were pushed to the forefront, and there were more and more news reports criticizing them. Some experts and celebrities who like to add insult to injury jumped out and made their own remarks in public, criticizing the Heat's Big Three.

I heard that James, Wade and others have closed their social accounts during this period, concentrating on preparing for the game, and want to save face through practical actions.

In fact, this is not the fault of the Heat, it's just that the opponents they encountered at the beginning of the new season were too strong, and they were basically among the top ten teams.

Judging from the schedule, the Heat were sniped invisibly.

No need to guess, the driving force behind this situation must have the shadow of league president David Stern.

It can be said that the league's arrangement is to give the Heat a bad start.

Judging from the current results, Stern has obviously succeeded.

It is foreseeable that the next day will not be easy for the Heat.

At this stage, some of the teams are happy and some are worried, but the new season has just begun. They still have a lot of time to adjust and adjust. The final result is unknown.

……

On November 11, the Warriors faced the Phoenix Suns at home.

Last season, the Suns eliminated the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals and successfully advanced to the finals, but they still failed to break through and fell on the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

After this loss, there were problems within the Suns.

Some players couldn't see the hope of winning the championship and were a little disheartened, so they decided to focus on money and pursue big contracts.

The main core player Stoudemire is one of them. After his contract expired, he did not renew his contract with the Suns and directly tested the free market, hoping to change to a new environment and compete for the championship.

After losing Stoudemire, the Suns wanted to strengthen in the free market, but they only traded Turkoglu, which did not make up for the Suns

The loss of the main core and the loss of some role players has caused a substantial decline in the overall strength of the Suns.

On the other hand, the Warriors have greatly strengthened during the offseason, and the team's strength is much stronger than last season.

After comparing the two, the Warriors have an absolute advantage, and the situation of the two sides has reversed.

After internal conflicts emerged, Nelson Sr. was not in a hurry to adjust the starting lineup.

With Monta Ellis' unruly personality, he will definitely not be willing to play as a substitute. I can only hope that he can change his style of play and make more off-ball moves and passes.

After the game, Ellis played singles very willfully, wanting to tell others that the Warriors were still his team.

But Richardson of the Suns had no cooperation and was very focused on defense, making Ellis's singles efficiency very low.

Xiao Gongju will definitely not be convinced and forcefully breaks through the attack frame.

I don't know what happened, but the Suns' weak inside line suddenly branched out, causing Ellis a lot of trouble.

Under Ellis' hustle and bustle, the Warriors, who were originally stronger, were overwhelmed by the Suns.

The head coach of the Warriors, Old Nelson, saw the scene on the field and frowned. In order to win the game, he replaced Ellis forcefully and replaced Tony Allen.

After the substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors took on a new lease of life, which was completely different from their previous performance. The offensive end played very smoothly, and the defensive end also restricted the Suns, instantly reversing the situation on the court.

On the Warriors bench, Ellis looked at Sun Yi, who was invincible in singles, and Curry, who hit consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line. He didn't know what he was thinking.

On the court, relying on Sun Yi, Curry and others to show their prowess, the Warriors quickly opened up the point difference and maintained a double-digit lead.

In the following games, the Suns, led by Nash, launched counterattacks again and again, but they were suppressed by the Warriors.

The Warriors' offensive and defensive balance in the new season is not the team that only had offense but no defense last season.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Suns 114-96, winning their fourth consecutive victory.
