Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 219 Pre-match training
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Let you rest this month to better prepare for the playoffs, not to let you relax completely! If you want to rest in the off-season, there is plenty of time to rest! Give me more focus now!"

Assistant coach Bob Lanier was yelling at the players running on the court. His irritable voice was like a whip, slapping each player hard. If the attribute is not M, It will definitely not be enjoyed.

"Okay! Stop! Rest for 3 minutes!" When everyone rushed to the final bottom line, Lanier finally announced that it was time to end.

"Ah!" Duckworth groaned miserably. After hitting the line, he fell to the ground, taking in more breaths, less panting, and breathing in pain. He looked like he was about to die, and it made people feel distressed.

It's not his fault. Running back and forth like this is already painful, not to mention that for a fat man like him who weighs 125 kilograms, it is several times more painful for him than others.

"Okay, the next item is 6 back-and-forth passes and layup practice!" Just 2 minutes after the break, Lanier's devilish voice sounded again.

"Ah? I can't do it, I really can't do it!" Duckworth said painfully on the ground.

"Get up, Duck! Dennis, pull him up!" Seeing that Duckworth couldn't be called, Malone asked Rodman to pull him up.

"Master, are you kidding me? Can I move him?" Rodman looked surprised.

"are you going?"

"Go, go, go! Let's go!" Malone glared, and Rodman was immediately discouraged.

If you want to say who in the Warriors has the most effective words for Rodman, it has to be Malone.

"Okay, Duck, get up!" Rodman steadied his horse and grabbed one of Duckworth's hands with both hands. That, plus Duckworth's own strength, only then did Duckworth be pulled up.

"Damn it, Duck, you really shouldn't be called a duck, you should be called a fat pig!" After pulling Duckworth up, Rodman rubbed his arm and complained.

"Fuck you, you are envious of my strong figure! Your nickname of a big bug is much worse than that of a fat pig!" Duckworth also joked with Rodman.

Rodman's nickname of "Big Bug" had already existed before he entered the NBA. It is said that Rodman liked to crawl around on the ground in the park when he was a child (weird hobby), and his wriggling looks very much like a fur Insects, so they are called big worms.

As for the name "Flower Tiger", it has to wait until Rodman really becomes a veteran driver to get the name!
"What's wrong with Big Worm? How cool is it? I just like my nickname! It's so different, it's easy to remember!"

"No matter what, my nickname is 100 times better than yours!"

"Mine is 1000 times better!"

"My good..."

"I said you two are finished? Since you two are so energetic, then you two come first!" Lanier reprimanded immediately when he saw the two who were arguing.

As a last resort, the two had no choice but to cry, and pulled Price, who had a better relationship, to start training first.

The so-called 6 back-and-forth pass layup practice refers to two or three people on the team, starting from the bottom line of the basketball on one side, two or three people passing and cross-cooperating, and completing the layup on the opposite side. Then follow the above method until the layup is completed on the starting side, and the completion of six consecutive times is considered the end.

The whole practice process is neither complicated nor difficult. If it was Li Weisi's passing masters, they could get it done in minutes, but when they met Rodman and Duckworth, two masters with rough skills, it would make them all It's painful to die, but fortunately, Price can help them.

Watching the trio doing passing drills on the field while the others watched from the sidelines.

After a while, Nelson walked in with assistant coach Don Delaney.

"How's the training going?" Nelson quietly came to Lanier without disturbing the others.

"It's okay, I feel that some players are resting a little bit, probably because they are too excited to play without games, just tighten up in the past two days!" Lanier said indifferently.

"Pay attention to the scale. After all, it's time to compete the day after tomorrow. Don't let them get too tired." Nelson patiently urged.

"Don't worry! Nellie, I know that."

"Well, what's the mentality of the players?" Nelson asked again.

"Very good, Gangdak and Dennis are still fighting!"

"That's good! We are a young team. The most important thing is momentum and mentality. As long as these two points are correct, we will not be afraid of any team we meet. But if any of these two points If something goes wrong, we can lose to any team, this must not be sloppy!"

"Nellie, what you said is an exaggeration. I think as long as West and Moses are on the court, the team's lower limit can be guaranteed." Delaney also interjected at this time.

"Yeah! I think so too, Nellie. It's amazing that West is so seasoned at such a young age. He must be the best rookie this year, right?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Whether it's the best rookie or the best rookie team, whichever doesn't include him, do you believe that the fans would definitely dare to parade at the headquarters to say that there is a shady scene?"

"Okay, okay, the more you two talk, the more you digress, let's talk about the next opponent!" Nelson quickly stopped the discussion between the two.

"There's nothing to say, as long as we play hard, victory is absolutely no problem!" Lanier said confidently.

"I feel the same way, as long as we play well, the Sonics have no chance." Delaney echoed.

"Don't underestimate the Supersonics. This team has a tradition of being a strong team, has strong resilience, and can work together to overcome difficulties in the face of difficulties. This is exactly what we lack!" Nelson said. Not as optimistic as the two of them, he said with a frown.

In fact, Nelson's concerns are correct. Regardless of the Sonics' poor record, they only ranked seventh in the West, and they also traded the team's meritorious center Jack Sikoma before the start of the season. Great cut.

But no one in the room knew that in the history of the original time and space, it was the No. 3 Supersonics in the West. In this season, they miraculously eliminated the Mavericks who were No. 1 in the West at 4:2 in the first round, and successfully "black seven" , Then in the second round [-]:[-], eliminated the Rockets led by Olajuwon, all the way to the Western Conference Finals.

Therefore, even though the Warriors won the second record in the Western Conference, it seems that they chose the second-to-last weakest team in the Western Conference, or the weakest team in the entire playoffs, but in fact, this is a team at the Western Conference Finals level .

If you are not careful, you will suffer a lot!
