Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 273
After entering September, the pre-match training camps of each team started again, and the quiet offseason for a while passed like this, and each team began to enter the preparation stage of gearing up again.

Of course, the Warriors are no exception. Unlike last season, this season, due to the stable lineup of the Warriors, there has not been a large-scale lineup adjustment. In addition, during the offseason, most players participated in Li Weisi's training camp. After the players assembled, they quickly entered the state, and there was no sense of unfamiliarity like last year.

What satisfied Nelson was more than that. He found that those young players were improving very quickly.

"Rodman, 201cm tall, 92kg in weight."

Before the start of training camp, everyone will go through medical examinations to ensure the status of the players.

Rodman put on 5kg during the offseason, and surprisingly, it was all muscle, not fat.

For a Rodman who has poor self-control and doesn't even try his best to exercise on weekdays, this is simply a fantasy.

I really don't know what he went through during the offseason?
Not only his stature, but also his defense and rebounding seem to have been improved in an all-round way. Although he is still light due to his weight, he cannot complete a good top defense in the penalty area, but other aspects are very impressive.

"Wester Lee, 190cm tall, 81kg in weight."

Not only did Li Weisi gain 3kg in weight, but he even grew 2cm taller. In this way, if he wears a pair of shoes, he will be reported as 6 feet 3 inches (191cm) without any problem at all.

Except for the two of them, the other players, Price, Hornacek, Curry, Mullin, Duckworth, etc., have not changed much physically, but they have improved a lot technically, at least the same as when they went to China in July. In comparison, it is stronger.

Duckworth eats cakes under the basket, defends alone, and grasps opportunities very well, completely without the jerky feeling of last year.

As for the other pitchers, the most important thing is that their three-point shooting percentage has improved qualitatively. They may have a good shooting percentage in the past, but at critical moments, they would rather shoot two long points than three-pointers. point.

Of course, this was caused by a combination of psychological lack of self-confidence and technical uncertainty, but after the training camp started, he found that every pitcher dared to shoot three-pointers, and even dared to shoot all the time like Li Weisi.

It has to be said that these people were deeply influenced by Li Weisi.

After discovering the progress of the players, Nelson is looking forward to their performance in the new season. Therefore, in order to discover more possibilities of the players, Nelson reduced the training on the players' personal physical fitness and skills in the training camp, and focused on increasing Tactical training, he tried the bull horn tactics, zipper tactics, off-ball cover circle tactics, etc. before, and even tried the elevator door tactics that Frank once proposed.

In short, due to the improvement of the players' outside shooting ability, the space on the court has been stretched to the extreme. Therefore, Nelson has more ideas about the use of team tactics. These need to be in daily training. a practice.

During this period, Frank never came to the training camp once. Obviously, for Frank, this time has reached the most critical moment.

Because, after entering September, the fluctuation of the stock price has been extremely abnormal. Fortunately, Frank has already sold all the shares except the necessary shares at this time. Frank has made a conservative estimate of more than 9 billion US dollars on these alone. Coupled with mortgage loans, borrowing, etc., Frank's cash flow at this time has exceeded 13 billion.

Not only that, but since September, under the guidance of Frank, Taleb has started shorting the stock market, and it is the kind of shorting with leverage.

Sure enough, after October, the Dow Jones stock fell 10 points in the week from October 10 to 3, a drop of 9%. 158.78%.

The two consecutive declines have sounded the alarm for the public, but not many people pay attention to this ominous sign. In their eyes, this is just a technical adjustment. They firmly believe that the stock market is doing well.

Well, technical adjustments, Ding Xie used to think so.

But when the time comes to October 10th, due to the late start of the regular season this year, the opening game will not be held until November 19th. Therefore, the NBA preseason game is about to start at this time, and "Black Monday" quietly And to.

At 9:10, the Dow Jones index fell 67 points at the opening. In a blink of an eye, stock traders frantically executed sell transactions, and the exchange was in panic.

From 9:30 to 11:00, the stock market fell uncontrollably.

At 14:00, the Dow Jones Index fell by 250 points, and more than 4 million shares were traded.

Thereafter, despite brief signs of a rebound in stocks, the frightening decline was only halted at the 4 close.

It's a pity that there is no circuit breaker mechanism at this time, otherwise, the circuit breaker will definitely be triggered this day.

Of course, this does not mean that the circuit breaker mechanism has nothing to do with today's stock market crash. In fact, the birth of the circuit breaker mechanism originated from this stock market crash.

For Frank, who has seen 10 circuit breakers in 4 days, this Black Monday is really not that scary.

But the outside world is different.

The world's richest man, Sam Walton, lost $21 billion in stock value in one day;
Frank's good friend, billionaire Bill Gates lost a total of $39.45 billion;
The computer tycoon Wang An lost $19 million in the afternoon of the 3100th alone...

Last month, 400 of the 38 richest people in the United States published by Forbes, an authoritative financial magazine in the United States, disappeared from the list, and many millionaires became poor overnight.

As for ordinary people, the loss is even more severe. News of suicides is endless. For a while, the high-rise buildings on Wall Street in New York and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco have become holy places for suicide groups to check in.

Moreover, affected by the crash of the US stock market, the stock markets in London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore and other places also began to plummet, and a huge panic spread across the world like a plague.

In the face of such a global disaster, Frank was very calm, even so calm that he wanted to make a cup of coffee himself.

With food in his hands, he didn't panic. The money in his hands was naturally used to buy the bottom. Unfortunately, it was not time yet, and he knew that this was not the lowest point of the stock price yet.

After the bottom-hunting is successful, his assets will further expand. It's true that horses can't get fat without night grass, and people can't get rich without windfalls. After this operation, his assets will increase by at least five times.

Seeing a bunch of numbers in the account, Frank knew that he already had his own gymnasium, and the only thing left to worry about was what name should he give his gymnasium?
Why not call it Oracle Arena?Not only is it nice to hear, it's also very cultured, but it's a pity that Oracle has been established for ten years now.

Wait, then I can buy Oracle by the way. Unfortunately, the valuation of Oracle is too high. It is not realistic to buy them all. I can only be a major shareholder and have fun!

Hey, it seems that I am still poor. It is not fun to spend money at all, and I have to make persistent efforts.
