Chapter 132 Preseason Winning Streak

After the physical test, Nelson is quite satisfied with everyone's physical test data, at least there is no one in the team who is lazy in the summer.

After the inherent training, Nelson and several assistant coaches were talking on the sidelines.

Nelson stroked his chin thoughtfully, looked at the two assistant coaches, and asked, "How do you think we should arrange the starting lineup?"

Neither of the two assistant coaches is a tactical coach. Keve Smart, who has more experience, said: "I think George and O'Neal should be partnered, and then supplemented by Jamal, Stephen and a scoring insider."

Nelson turned his attention to the court. Jamal Crawford was training Li Zhi with dribbling. In the Olympics, Li Zhi had already proved that he did not waste his time in the summer.

But then Nelson frowned, obviously Smart's suggestion didn't impress Nelson.

At this time, Matt Stermez, who had been silent all this time, spoke.Matt is Nelson's assistant coach. He has been with Nelson since he was a calf. It can be said that he has learned the true story of Nelson. Although his level is not enough to reach the level of a head coach, he has a different view of the Warriors.

"I think Jamal should be allowed to play as a substitute. Jamal's efficiency as a substitute last season was extremely good, and this season should not be bad."

Nelson nodded, but Smart retorted: "Jamal is on the bench, so who will be the main point guard? Sean?"

After taking a look at Nelson's face, Matt said, "Kyle Lowry!"

"Him?" Smart frowned and said nothing, he felt that he was played by Matt, a scheming bitch.

Old Nelson looked at Kyle Lowry on the field. Kyle Lowry's statistics are good, extremely balanced, breakthroughs and assists are considered excellent, but Kyle Lowry's three-point shooting percentage is less than 30.00%, which will limit Nelson's tactics.

Nelson frowned for about 3 minutes, and when he saw Li Zhi approaching, Nelson's frowning brows instantly relaxed.

I'm still too greedy. Although O'Neal came this season, O'Neal is already old, and it is still a bit unrealistic to really reproduce the OK combination.

Nelson untied the knot in his heart. The real peak of the Warriors is in the future, in this Chinese who is coming.

"Coach, let's play a game and see what unique skills everyone has!" Li Zhi said with a smile.

Nelson nodded, feeling that Li Zhi is his little lucky star, and playing a training match is indeed a powerful way to solve the current problem.

However, when grouping, Nelson hesitated for a long time, and finally, the grouping results came out.

Red group: Li Zhi, O'Neill, Barnes, Jackson, Kyle Lowry.

Blue group: Crawford, Nick Young, Corey Maggette, Milicic, Jordan Jr.

The strength gap between the two sides was too large, and the players in the blue team sighed and sighed. Except for rebounding, the simple uncle Jordan was blown up by O'Neal.

The reason why Jordan was not blown off the rebound was because Milicic in the blue team was extremely embarrassed by O'Neal's defense, and this guy didn't pass the ball, he picked up the ball and did it himself.

And O'Neal, who saw Milicic's cold and displeased face, naturally opened up his firepower and asked Milicic to strike the iron over and over again.

Li Zhi tried his best and didn't try his best to break through. The combination of Jordan and Milicic was not bad, both offensive and defensive, but they were facing the stronger O'Neal and the excellent defensive Barnes.

What surprised Li Zhi was Kyle Lowry, who worked extremely hard in the small steel cannon training match, as if to prove that he was right to be in a group with Li Zhi and O'Neal, and he was very aggressive in defense and offense.

Yang Shaoxia, who Li Zhi placed high hopes on, was defended a bit miserably by the old gun Stephen Jackson. Jackson didn't save Yang Shaoxia face, and he came up with real swords and guns.

After this training game, Nelson probably had a clear understanding of the strength of the players in the team, and finally decided on the starting combination of Kyle Lowry, Stephen Jackson, Li Zhi, Milicic, and O'Neal.This made Milicic, a handsome European guy who has always been quite aloof, secretly moved.

And no one noticed that Sean Livingston, who had been substituting between the two groups of players, worked particularly hard during the seven-day training.

The preseason of the new season is coming soon, and the Warriors will have a game on the first day of the preseason.

The Warriors' first preseason opponent is the New Orleans Hornets. Under Paul's leadership, the Hornets' future is generally optimistic. Last season, the Hornets won 56 wins and 26 losses and placed second in the Western Conference. In the Western Conference semifinals of the playoffs, they fought against the veteran defending champion Spurs in seven games. Many experts have already regarded the Hornets as the favorites to win the championship this season.

This summer, the Hornets further strengthened and won Peja Stojakovic. Peja moved to the Kings and Pacers last season and settled in New Orleans this year.

Last season, Peja averaged 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. The strength of the former All-Star is still [-]% to [-]%.

Coupled with the original Paul, David West, and Tyson Chandler, the Hornets should go further on the original basis.

But in the first game of the preseason on October 10, Nelson came up and gave the Hornets who were blown to the sky a big stick.

The Warriors all played, and 8 scored in double figures. Li Zhi, Jackson, Crawford and other main players were forced to play for 30 minutes. Li Zhi scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

But in the next game against the Trail Blazers, the old Nelson changed his style of play. O’Neal, who played only 10 minutes in the last game, was put on the court for 28 minutes. He cooperated with Li Zhi, who also played 28 minutes. O’Neal scored 23 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, and Li Zhi had 27 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.

There is also a small episode in this battle. The old Olympic opponent Fernandez officially entered the NBA this year. He competed with Li Zhi in the whole game. Although this guy played 36 minutes, far longer than Li Zhi, he only had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

This made Fernandez very helpless, and vowed to give Li Zhi some color before seeing Li Zhi next time.Also, the fat O'Neill on the opposite side called himself "sissy"!
After the two preseason victories, Nelson seems to have completed his experiment, and then continued to try various rotations. Milicic, Kyle Lowry, Crawford and even Nick Young were all picked by Nelson to start. Milicic, nicknamed the "Golden Retriever" by the team, performed particularly well. On October 10, he played 12 minutes against the overseas team Liduhesi, scoring 36 points, 20 rebounds and 10 blocks.

But there's one thing Nelson doesn't like about this guy. He doesn't like passing.
