Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 492 I Believe Him
"Thank you, Nellie! Look, you came here as soon as you came, and brought... er, what is this?" Mullin, who stood up from the sofa, took the bag from Nelson's hand, opened it and found that it was empty.

Well, that's not quite right, because there was also a crumpled, greasy ball of paper in the bag.

"I just ate the hot dog on the road. I didn't have a place to throw the bag, so I just brought it here..." Nelson said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, you can go!" Mullin said with a straight face.

"Hahaha, don't be so realistic, Chris!" Nelson smiled and patted Mullin's arm, then sat down.

Seeing Nelson's familiar appearance, Mullin also smiled "hehe". Obviously, he was just joking with Nelson just now. With his relationship with Nelson, how could he kick him out because Nelson didn't bring him a gift? !
At most, give Nelson an extra two spoonfuls of salt at meal time.

Although the entire Warriors team looks harmonious, in fact, in this big family, it is divided into small groups one by one.

It's no wonder, the teacher said it well, there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things!

In fact, it is true. There are more than a dozen players in the entire team, plus the coaching staff and the management team. At least there are more than 20 people. Most of them are just colleagues. It is impossible to get along with everyone like brothers. , Everyone will inevitably attract each other because of their views on things and whether their interests are similar, and eventually form small groups one after another.

For example, Li Weisi, the boss of the team, seems to be supported by everyone and enjoys getting along with everyone, but in fact the only one who can be called a friend with him is the boss Frank.

Others, if they hang out together in private, they will never bring Li Weisi with them. After all, if you want to invite this guy, you need to be prepared to be cold and lose interest at any time.

In addition, Ma Long is relatively independent, and relatively speaking, he may have a closer relationship with Rodman and Duckworth. After all, the two sides have a mentor-student relationship.

Another example is Hornacek, Duckworth and others who joined in the same batch in 86. They are now the majority of the team and their relationship is relatively better.

Compared with others, Mullin's relationship with the players in the team is not very good. Although there have been quarrels, it has long passed. The real reason is that everyone is not the same and can't play together.

With Mullin becoming famous last season, Warriors fans prefer to force him and Li Weisi together to form a CP. Frank even called the two "Splash Brothers" in an interview.

This title was quickly sought after by fans and the media circle, and even many reports began to quote this nickname.

However, Mu Lin didn't like this title. After all, his relationship with Li Weisi was not as good as everyone thought. Although he valued Li Weisi very much, and even went up to him shamelessly to ask during training, but in fact, in private, The two rarely communicate, but they are just "superficial brothers".

And the team with the best relationship with Mullin has to be the head coach Nelson. Even Mullin can guarantee that he is definitely Nelson's number one confidant in the Warriors.

Since he successfully quit drinking with Nelson's help, for Mullin, Nelson is both a teacher and a friend. For Nelson's request, Mullin will never compromise in the slightest.

And Nelson obviously gave full trust to his number one confidant, and handed over part of the ball rights to Li Weisi to Mullin, which indirectly contributed to Mullin's explosion last season.

It can be said that everything in the world has its own cause and effect, and all visible effects are inextricably linked by causes.

After getting along with each other for the past few years, the relationship between Nelson and Mullin needless to say, and the two families have moved around very frequently, especially since Mullin was injured. In just one month, Nelson has already visited him for the third time.

"How is your recovery?" After sitting down, Mullin's girlfriend brought Nelson a cup of coffee, "Thank you!"

"What else can I do? I feel that I'm recovering pretty well. However, the last review doctor said that it will take a long recovery period." Mullin shrugged, and seemed to be in good spirits.

"Then take a good rest, the team is really hard to play without you!" After taking a sip of coffee, Nelson unconsciously talked about the team and sighed.

"Come on, the recent wave of five consecutive victories, Reggie is so good, I am afraid that when I return to the team, I will be a substitute for him." Mullin laughed at himself.

"Come on, with your character, you are willing to substitute for Reggie? I'm afraid that if I let you play as a substitute, you should immediately apply for a trade with the team."

"Hahaha, then I definitely won't leave. If I leave, wouldn't your point-and-forward tactics be ruined?"

"You haven't left now, isn't it a mess?" Nelson said which pot was not opened and which pot was not to be lifted.

After the two looked at each other and smiled, Mullin saw the distress on Nelson's brow that was covered up with a smile, and said bluntly: "Why, the team's situation is very difficult recently?"

"Yeah! It's more difficult than you imagined." Hearing Mullin's question, Nelson's smile disappeared and he sighed.

"It was unexpected that the team encountered such an emergency. The team's recent record is not bad. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself." Looking at Nelson, who is nearly half a century old and has white hair , Mullin couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Hehe, I don't believe that you will be blinded by the record. What is the real situation of the team, you can't see it? Compared with the big wins in the past, even if you encounter weak teams, you often play against them. It’s inextricably linked, it can be seen that there is a big problem with the team’s offense!”

Of course, Mullin can see the predicament the team is in now. Regardless of the record, the team has returned to the second place in the West, but as long as you watch a few more games, you will find that there are problems with the team's offensive system. And this kind of problem is quite prominent. The recent tense games are examples. You know, the Warriors last season often won by [-] or [-] points.

"Nellie, I have a suggestion about the team's offense. I don't know if I should say it." Mullin struggled for a moment, and finally said.

"Of course, just say what you have! I'm here to seek advice!" Hearing Mullin's thoughts, Nelson was surprised and excited.

"I think you can try to trust West more!"

"Trust West? What do you mean?" Nelson felt as if he had caught something.

"West is the most creative and imaginative player I have ever seen on offense. No one. In the past, in order to maximize the strength of the team, the tactics you designed actually restricted West invisibly. , for which he also made sacrifices for the team.

But right now it is not about the monotony of tactics, but about how to ensure the strength of the team. I think you should let go of the shackles on West. I believe he can definitely create miracles. After all, now there are 30+ games in a row, But it's not his limit! "

"I didn't expect you to trust West so much?" Nelson was surprised by Mullin's suggestion, and it also moved him a little.

"Of course, there are not many team leaders in this league who can convince me. What's more, I don't believe in him, but I believe in my own vision!"
