Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 133 Durant and Curry
In fact, Li Sheng didn't rely on the simulation so much. The simulation is now like a pre-match ceremony for him, with more symbolic meaning.

After all, the pre-game simulation against the Clippers was a miserable loss. After all, there is indeed a gap in hard power; but now the simulation wins more against the Warriors, with three wins in five games.

However, it must be taken into consideration that the simulation is based on the normal state of the two teams, and then randomly erupts, or there may be no eruption, and then recklessly fight for strength.

But in reality, it is difficult to have the ideal state that is completely in line with it. There will always be fluctuations. Not to mention the next game, the Thunder will play back-to-back away games, and their physical strength and game concentration will decline. The state will definitely be affected.

The Warriors over there are waiting for work. In this case, the Thunder lost by one point first.

Even in the playoffs, if one’s poor form coincides with a situation where the opponent’s state is overwhelmed, a team with a much stronger card may overturn, not to mention the regular season. Many teams will watch and play. After all, under the long schedule, injuries and other issues have to be considered. If it is not for the league’s regulations, the situation of undisciplined rotation like the Spurs may be more common.

The NBA is not a team that compares the lineup to the value, otherwise there would be no miracle of black seven black eight, there would not be a comeback from 1:3 behind, and there would not be so many overturns that surprised the outside world, such as the Lakers' two F4s.

What's more, according to Li Sheng's own estimation, this year's Warriors are actually not weak, and they only lost in the playoffs in the tiebreaker. Their current state looks good, and they have double shots from the outside.

And if the Thunder's state is affected back to back in the game, especially if there are problems such as fluctuations in three-pointers, such as running out of touch in the game against the Clippers-although they started to call back in the second half of that game, then the possibility of GG is even greater.

After all, the Thunder's current tactical three-pointer position is still very important, and this is also a guarantee for Durant's single-point threat to be maximized.

But no matter what, the game still has to be played, and I will rest directly tonight. I will fly to Golden State the next morning, and then I will have a rest at the hotel before I plan to contact the Warriors first.

After all, it is always necessary to train and warm up before the game to maintain the state. There must be no way to prepare tactically, and it is too late in such a short time-this is another small factor that makes it difficult to play back-to-back, but training is definitely necessary, and you must not relax.

Of course, this matter is left to Collins. Although he was playing for another "Scholar" Jazz team, after so many seasons, he still has his own contacts.

More importantly, the Warriors are relatively generous in this regard, as can be seen from the behavior of their management, including the current consultant Jerry West and general manager Meyers.

Li Sheng actually likes to deal with such people, but it's better to take care of his own team for the time being. As long as he gets a foothold in the first season, it will be easy to develop contacts in the future.

Of course, the Warriors' current arena, Oracle, is relatively small, and the Warriors themselves have to use it. If the two teams train together, they must seek the opinions of the players, especially the core players.

But Curry is not Paul, and the Warriors don't have the "old school" stink of the Celtics, so they haven't been hindered in this regard.

And when the Thunder came over, the Warriors players were just doing daily adaptive training.

Probably because they didn't want their opponents to see anything, so the players basically practiced separately, as if they were preparing to warm up.

After that, the two sides basically occupied the venue, and after those who knew each other greeted each other, they didn't interfere much.

The warm-up training is not about practicing tactics, and of course I don’t worry about being watched. Durant even went to the Warriors a few times in the middle to play with Curry and the others.

Speaking of it, many NBA stars have good private relationships. Later, Curry and Harden fans fought so fiercely that the two would smile when they met. It was just because of their different lifestyles and not being on the same team, otherwise they would have often played together.

After all, the rookies of the same class also had some twists and turns in the early stages of their careers, and then slowly rose up, becoming rivals but also sympathetic to each other.

In fact, it is enough to regard the players as colleagues working in the same company, there is no need to regard them as opponents or even enemies.

Of course, some fans like to have a deep sense of substitution, and feel that the current situation is not as good as the feeling of hatred between enemies, but they don’t know that the league has been working hard to decontroversy and violence. Why, it’s not because it can usher in more and wider audiences, which in turn brings profits.

This also shows that more people still want to see the content of the game and see both sides playing with all their strength, rather than engage in some off-court disputes to "enrich" the game.

The essential purpose of the business league is to make money. Players play to make money, including those retired big mouthers. The purpose of grandstanding is to attract attention, so that they can make money.

Things on the court should be left on the court. Many players are quite clear about this.

The relationship between Durant and Curry actually has to be traced back to before the draft and when Curry was in college. At that time, Durant had become a star. He took his younger brother Westbrook to watch Curry's game and chatted with him.

Not only Durant, but James also visited. The two were also "Akron brothers" who were born in the same hospital. Although the contract between James and the Heat ended in the original time and space, Curry did not agree when he wanted to have a brotherhood with him in Golden State. Instead, he chose to "go home."

Then in 22 years, he took the initiative to show his favor to Curry...

This is probably a turn of events!
Of course, now Durant definitely has no intention of going to the Warriors to find Curry's partner, he just goes there to play around, sometimes he is quite childish.

They are all old opponents in the West, and there are national team teammates like Iguodala. Durant still has a lot to chat with them.

Of course, jokes are jokes, everyone on the field must go all out and see what they can do.

And as fans who are unfamiliar on the surface but are actually quite familiar with the current Warriors team-I believe fans who like the Thunder and San Shao should not care about this Warriors team, Li Sheng is naturally very concerned about those "familiar faces".

The best thing about the Warriors compared to other teams is that in the next ten years, the team's main core lineup is quite stable and has hardly changed.

Since the beginning of this year, Curry and Thompson's double guns in the backcourt have firmly occupied the starting lineup, and Green has also entered the team's main rotation, coupled with an important defensive force on the outside, and the "coffin mamba" who can occasionally lift the coffin board and explode a wave of scoring.

Then around them, other players come and go.

Thinking of Green, Li Sheng also deliberately observed the movements of this "black baby". In the future, he will grow into a bully in the team, a top expert who can spray the coach and scold the core of the core. At this time, he is still standing like a minion.

His net height is estimated to be less than two meters, and his static talent is quite good, especially his wingspan and shoulder width, which provide a guarantee for him to go to the fifth position to top the inside line.

The athletic ability is relatively average, otherwise it would not have fallen to the second round, and the Warriors would have picked up a cheap one.

Green's defense is still worthy of respect, and his passion as a young player in the rising period has a positive effect on the Warriors, whose core is all good men.

But now the team's starting power forward is former Eastern star power forward David Lee. The fifth position is dead, and the so-called five small tactics have not yet come out.
