Chapter 59 The Golden State Bandits Ready to Gather (Please recommend! Please collect!)

"Hey, Sean, welcome to the American West Arena to witness the coming of the Sun Dynasty again!"

"Haha, I look forward to the day when you come next time!"

……

Facing all kinds of ridicule and sarcasm, Sean Elliott smiled stiffly, and walked out of the arena in a hurry amidst the enthusiastic farewell of the Suns fans.

Seeing that there was no one around, Sean Elliott took a quick breath, it was so deceitful!
Although Popovich is one of the people he respects the most, he still can't help complaining in his heart that this task is too difficult for him!
Every time I come here, all kinds of sarcasm are indispensable, because the Suns won the game and they are still friendly to themselves. What's more, in the playoffs, facing the Spurs, they may leave themselves in the West arena.

Sean Elio just thinks he is too difficult.

Fortunately, the mission was completed this time. Sean Elliott couldn’t help but feel a little startled when he thought about today’s game. He was shocked by what the two teams showed today, especially in the real contest in the last quarter. The strength shown made him worry about the Spurs.

Although he believes in the strength of the Spurs, so far, the Spurs have not shown real dominance in front of the two teams, especially the ball that was shot by Gao Tian in the last game, which shocked the entire Spurs. The discussion about the sun has never stopped.

You must know that Duncan got 40+20 data in that game!

In previous games, as long as Duncan got this data, the Spurs have almost never lost a game. Except for the OK combination that was flourishing in the past, the big shark inside made Duncan very uncomfortable. In the past few years, the Spurs It has been a long time since Duncan showed his power and lost the game.

Alarm bells must be sounded!
Sean Elliott decided to go back immediately. He had to discuss with Popovich how to deal with the sun, otherwise he was afraid that he would have trouble sleeping and eating!
Just as Sean Elliott was rushing back to San Antonio, a person also rushed to the airport with him, but they didn't take the same flight, and it seemed that the person's plane was bound for California.

Don Nelson listened to the assistant coach's report with some upset, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Suns are indeed very strong, and they are the existence that the current Golden State Warriors can only look up to.

Although Don Nelson is very confident in his experiment, the team that is in the running-in period is obviously far from reaching his goal. The team's lineup has not met his requirements. It would be great if he could get Gao Tian!

He sighed helplessly. Although he knew too well that the Suns would not let him go, he also tried to make an offer to the Suns management, using Monta Ellis and Mike Dunleavy plus a two-year starter The first round of draft picks was exchanged for Gao Tian, ​​but they didn't even think about it, and directly rejected themselves.

That's right, after all, who would have thought that Gao Tian could play at the All-Star level with the price of a rookie, so it seems that the deal with the Raptors before the game is really a bargain!
After that transaction, all experts and media, even a lot of coaches and general managers including myself believed that the Celtics were the biggest beneficiaries, but now it seems that everyone was wrong. The Suns are now No. [-] in the Western Conference. One!
Although the Celtics are okay, but with four wins and four losses and only fourth in the Eastern Conference, their Big Three don't look that strong, far less dazzling than the stars on them.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes, thought for a while, and finally made up his mind and made a phone call. He believed that his gamble would be successful this time!
Only a trade can change the current situation where the team is not embarrassed, not up and down, and he will definitely be suitable for his running and bombing system!

No matter what the old Nelson thinks, time always moves slowly, and in a blink of an eye, the Golden State Warriors' away game against the Phoenix Suns is about to begin.

D'Antoni has a very good relationship with Nelson, and there have been some exchanges between the two. D'Antoni praised Nelson's eight-second offense in his bombardment tactics, but after running and bombing is the only one in the league. , Even he didn't dare to try these more frightening and disturbing styles of play, after all, he wasn't the only one who had the final say on the Suns.

Old Nelson smiled and looked at Gao Tian who was practicing three-point shooting. His eyes were like a wolf seeing a lamb. He was very excited when he thought of the scene after Gao Tian came to the Golden State Warriors. Absolutely no problem.

But when he returned to reality, he couldn't help but sighed, maybe he could realize this dream in his dream!

The game started soon, and Gao Tian was a little excited when he saw the strong and fast Baron Davis and Monta Ellis rushing up. They saw the shadow of the future small ball era.

A high-impact guard paired with a forward who can open up space and shoot three-pointers, and a fast-moving interior, this minimum configuration was finally achieved after Golden State completed the transaction.

Just imagine, two forwards go to the three-point line to open up space, the center guards the basket, and two impactful guards attack the inside in turn, then attract double-teams and pass to teammates who are open on the outside, depending on the appropriateness of the opportunity. Further attacking the frame or shooting a three-pointer, this combination is perfect!
But Old Nelson knew that his team was still far away from his vision. At least for now, only two defenders could hit the inside, but the space inside couldn't be opened!
Once the penalty area is full of people, it is difficult for the defender's impact to have any effect, and the long-awaited center will only send block data one after another.

The biggest problem for the Warriors now is that they can't open the space inside, and they lack a defensive gate that can shoot three-pointers and take over the opponent's strongest attacker.

hold on!
Old Nelson looked at the warrior who had been beaten up, he couldn't help but clenched his fist and then let go, just wait until the deal is really completed!

Gao Tian took a big step and changed direction to shake Monta Ellis away, and made a steady mid-range jumper.

Monta Ellis is not to be outdone. Although he was only a second-round pick last year, he has made great progress and is highly valued by the old Nelson. He also has his own arrogance.

Looking back, he directly screened and bypassed Lagabel and hit a drop shot against Stoudemire.

Baron Davis watched his teammates so powerful. As the biggest player of the Warriors, the titular boss, he also began to show off, constantly hitting mid-range shots and layups.

Under the leadership of the team's double guards, the Golden State Warriors turned their backs on the guest, and the momentum faintly suppressed the Suns for a while.

D'Antoni folded his arms and watched the Warriors' offensive climax. He greatly admired one of his most respected coaches.

However, their flaws are too obvious, and such a powerful attack can only last for so long.

Gao Tian looked at the gangsters in front of him with some regrets. Although their offense was good, their defense was a mess. The inside line couldn't stop Stoudemire's attack, and the outside line was also targeted by himself and Nash. Although they scored a lot, But it was obviously not enough to even out the point difference. After three quarters, the Warriors were almost [-] points behind.
