Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 670
On the last day of March, the Warriors returned to their home court to face the Pacers again.

The last time the two teams played against each other, the Warriors lost to the Pacers in overtime due to Li Weisi's absence. This time, Li Weisi returned strongly, and the Pacers were not so lucky.

However, when the two teams played against each other, the Pacers did not collapse as expected, on the contrary they played very tenaciously.

At the beginning of the game, the shooting percentages of both teams were very high, and the offense of both teams was very unrestrained, and it looked like another offensive battle.

The Pacers have a very high shooting rate on the outside tonight, especially Vaughn Fleming and Reggie Miller.

However, the Warriors' outside trio tonight are also very accurate, especially in the first two games, Richmond, who did not show his talents, made a sudden and inside shot in the first quarter, scoring 11 points and becoming the Warriors' first priority. heroes.

The scores of the two teams have always been very close, and the point difference has never exceeded 5 points. This situation continued until the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Li Weisi once again showed his demeanor as the king of the last quarter, scored 15 points, and played a wave of 20:2 in one fell swoop, successfully opened the point difference to more than 15 points, and maintained it until the end .

In the end, the Warriors beat the Pacers 129:117 at home and successfully revenged.

So far, the games in March have finally come to an end. The Warriors have played a total of 17 games this month, including 3 back-to-back games. The intensity is so great that it can be called the strongest intensity of the season.

Moreover, due to Li Weisi's truce for half a month, the Warriors lost a total of 5 games this month. The record is not good, but the Warriors still rank second in the Western Conference with 51 wins and 19 losses. The Blazers, who are No. [-] in the West, are only one game away.

Unlike the busy March, there are relatively few games in April, and the time is more substantial, which finally gave the Warriors a chance to stop in their busy pace.

With time, Nelson can finally focus more on training, gradually adjusting the state of the players, and correcting their mistakes on the field.

After all, it has been nearly a season and the main style of play has been determined. At this time, what Nelson can do is to grasp the details, start from the details, and invest in small gains for big gains. This is the most cost-effective way to improve strength during this time period.

However, when Nelson was excited and came to the video room, planning to ask Jeff Van Gundy for the video he had ordered him to make, he found that the video room was full of people.

Warriors owner Frank, general manager Attles, deputy general manager and his own little Nelson, and Jeff as a player, as well as several other unnamed executives, put the originally quite large video room, remember Like a subway car during rush hour.

"What's the situation? Why are there so many people?" Squeezed into the video room, Old Nelson couldn't help asking.

"Oh, Nellie, you're here, so why don't you stop by and see how this little player is doing?" Frank, surrounded by the crowd in the center, saw Old Nelson at the door, and instead of getting up, he turned to him. He beckoned, and at the same time pushed the little Nelson next to him to make room for his father.

For Frank's actions, Nelson Jr. was not dissatisfied in the slightest, and quickly got up to make room for his father. Even though Nelson Jr. is now considered a high-level member of the Warriors' management team, he is still far behind in the importance of his father.

Little Nelson is well aware of this, and even in his opinion, without his father, he might not be able to take the responsibility of being his deputy general manager.

With curiosity, old Nelson came to Frank's side dubiously and sat down. Only then did he see clearly that what was playing on the big screen was an ordinary high school league game.

"That's it?" A group of NBA executives are sitting in such a luxurious video room like a movie theater, watching this?

You guys just watch NCAA games, I don't say anything, high school?What about playing?
"Don't get me wrong, I talked to Downey today, and he said that he had watched this young player from St. Michael's Noble High School for a long time and found his style of play very interesting. I asked him to find the edited video for everyone to watch together. "

Hearing Frank's explanation, Old Nelson immediately felt relieved. He had gradually grasped his boss's preferences after working together for these years.

My boss, in addition to watching his own team's games, also likes to watch some young players with potential. He even hired a lot of scouts to record all over the world. Back then, Nelson had a lot of games in Europe. have done this.

Knowing this, Old Nelson also began to carefully observe the contents of the video, and the more he looked at the old Nelson's brows, the closer he frowned.

To be honest, the level of this game is very low, not to mention compared with professional games, even some famous basketball high school leagues in the United States have not reached the level.

But a skinny boy who was always aiming at him on the court, his playing style shocked the old Nelson, because his playing style was exactly the same as Li Weisi's. If it wasn't for the different skin color on the court, the old Nelson would even suspect that this was Li Weisi's senior high school student. The game of the period was videotaped.

"This guy is a good player. Which school did you say it was? St. Michael's Noble High School? Where is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" Old Nelson asked his son beside him like a cannonball.

"This is the middle school of the University of Canada, and the little player in front of him is a master of Canada."

"Canadian adults can actually play basketball?" It's not that old Nelson is ignorant, but in this period, Canadian University really doesn't have any famous players.

"Dad, look at what you said, the world is so big, naturally there are many geniuses, you just have to find them with your heart."

"You're right. I underestimated the world. This kid plays very well. Although his shooting and dribbling are still different from West's, his grasp of timing and the overall way of playing are exactly the same as West's. It's very similar, if you practice for a few more years, maybe the second West that the league has been thinking about will really come." Old Nelson couldn't help but sighed: "By the way, what's his name?"

"Steve Nash, 17 years old!" Little Nelson replied.

"It's a good seed! It's a pity that the position is the same as that of West." Old Nelson said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the team's backup point guard is not very ideal. After two years of drafting, our team has several first-round picks. Maybe we can really sign him." Nelson Jr. said excitedly.

"If that's the case, it's indeed a good idea." For a while, Old Nelson's thoughts drifted a little far away, and he couldn't help thinking, what would happen if there were two Wests in the team?
"Okay, let's change to another one!" At this moment, Frank interrupted old Nelson's fantasy and said to young Nelson.

"Okay, the next player is Ray Allen from Southern California's Hilltop High School team. He is 16 years old this year..." Jr. Nelson explained to several team leaders while asking Jeff Van Gundy to change the video tape.
