Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 623 New Teaching Assistant
On the second day after losing to the Trail Blazers, the soldiers of the Warriors suffered another loss before they had time to work hard. This time, the Warriors lost to the Lakers.

In fact, so far this season, the Lakers' record is not good, only achieved a record of 4 wins and 5 losses, not even a 50% winning rate.

But when facing the Warriors tonight, they showed a completely different state.

In addition to the Big Three outside the Lakers, the most critical point for the Lakers to win the game is the performance of the new Lakers aid Sam Perkins.

Due to the opening of the Mavericks Supermarket, the Lakers only paid a small price to successfully pick up the leak and got Perkins to join. Here comes an insider with strong offensive firepower.

As Jordan's teammate in North Carolina, and later the fourth pick of the "84 Diamond Generation", he is far inferior to his good teammate Jordan in terms of popularity and strength.

But that is after all compared with Jordan, and when he has played in the Mavericks for so many years, he has reached the peak of his career both physically and technically.

Although his data has declined due to too many offensive points in the Lakers, it does not mean that he is not strong.

Tonight, it was he who made 3 of 3 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored a team-high 25 points, which helped the Lakers win the game 115:113.

The Warriors, in this back-to-back away game, have won two consecutive losses. You must know that the last time the Warriors lost two games in a row was in January last year when they lost consecutive away games to the Pistons and Bulls.

At this time, people with a discerning eye could notice the decline in the strength of the Warriors. However, in the eyes of most people, the problem of the Warriors is mainly the problem of the center. It's that historic team.

But the Warriors didn't think so internally.

After returning from Los Angeles, the Warriors finally got 3 days of rest, allowing the physically and mentally exhausted players to take a breather, but Frank did not rest. After all, he had already "rested" in Seattle. After returning to San Francisco, He immediately pulled the coaching staff, Attles and other team managers to hold a high-level meeting to discuss the future trend of the team.

"...Reggie has also expressed to the outside world that he hopes to play with a team that respects him more. The above are some of his personal remarks." In the conference room, a man who looks like the FBI Mahon in "Prison Break" The young man earnestly reported to everyone present.

This young man is called Quinn Schneider. He is only 24 years old this year. It can be said that he is younger than many players on the team. He is an assistant coach recruited by the Warriors coaching staff this summer.

"Quinn, these are just the personal remarks of some players. There is no need to bring them to the meeting, right?" Bob Lanier, another assistant coach of the team, objected, but his tone was somewhat tingesome. dissatisfied.

It's no wonder that, as a famous warrior, in Lanier's eyes, this young man who just graduated from college and didn't play ball can be on an equal footing with himself, a man who has struggled in the NBA for half his life.
"Sorry, I'm just answering the boss's question." Schneider was well aware of Lanier's dissatisfaction.

In fact, not to mention Lanier, even Schneider himself was stunned when he received the offer from the Warriors coaching staff.

Like most American kids who play basketball, Schneider also wants to enter the NBA. He was nominated for "McDonald's All-American Athlete" in high school, and later entered the Duke University team to play. He also played with Li Weisi on the NCAA field. Taiwan competition.

It's just that when Li Weisi made that shocking lore, as a substitute, he could only sit and watch from the sidelines.

After graduating from university, he deeply experienced the cruelty of competitive sports. No NBA team was interested in him. In desperation, he could only choose to be an assistant coach. Got a job.

It can be said that the only interaction between him and the Warriors before was that he had played against Li Weisi on the court, and he had no relationship other than that. How could Schneider not be surprised by such a sudden invitation?
However, although he doesn’t understand why the Warriors found him, this does not prevent him from choosing to join the Warriors. After all, the NBA is the stage he yearns for. Especially after a conversation with Frank, he has strengthened his determination to come to the Warriors. .

Seeing that Schneider moved out of Frank, Lanier didn't say anything more, but just snorted coldly, expressing his disdain.

"Okay, okay, what Quinn said, I asked to investigate. The current performance of the team is not as good as expected. Maybe in your eyes, this is just a normal fluctuation, but in my opinion, it is a fluctuation of people's hearts in the team. As a result, people's hearts are scattered, and the team will not be easy to lead. We must pay enough attention to any matter that affects the team's centripetal force." Fortunately, Frank spoke in time and attracted everyone's attention, which made Schneider There was a moment of respite.

"Yes!" Everyone in the office replied in unison.

Although everyone agreed very simply, Frank knew that there were not many people who really agreed.

But for now, trading Lewis has become a foregone conclusion, not to mention that he himself has views on the Warriors. It is almost impossible to keep Lewis in the offseason unless Mullin is traded.

Although Mullin suffered serious injuries, he has recovered quite well. Although this season is not as explosive as before the injury, he is definitely an All-Star small forward, and in terms of offense, whether it is shooting or organization, he is not Lewis can replace.

Therefore, there is a conflict between the two, and Lewis can only be traded.

As for how to trade Lewis, at present, his value is not high, with only half a year left on his contract, which has caused many teams to give up the deal and plan to sign him directly as a free agent during the offseason.

Therefore, there are not many teams to choose from today, and the range of options is also very limited.

After a moment of silence, Frank said to Attles again: "Which team is currently offering the best conditions?"

"It's still the Celtics, and the condition they gave was to exchange Brian Shaw." Attles replied.

"This can't work, we are too bad, at least let him get a draft pick, and it's a first-round pick!" Frank knocked on the table, frowning.

"It's difficult. Although Mr. Auerbach appreciates Reggie, he will definitely not give a first-round pick." Attles directly rejected Frank's proposal.

"Then exchange rights, in short, only Brian Shaw is absolutely impossible!"

"Yes, I see, I will continue to talk about it."
