The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 90 The Future of the Warriors?Jazz's devil home!
San Francisco Bay Area,
Old Nelson turned off the TV and lit a cigar.

"How about it, Chris."

He smiled and asked the tall man next to him.

Chris Mullin scratched his head,
"It was pretty good, but what surprised me the most was the second quarter...his foul-drawing skills were just unbelievable."

"That shows he's very clever, doesn't it?"

Old Nelson didn't care whether this method violated the aesthetics of basketball.

You know, the famous "shark-cutting tactic" was carried forward by him, Don Nelson.

Although this method of deliberate fouling and sending free throws existed in the ancient times of the NBA, and Chamberlain, the "Big Dipper" suffered a lot from it, it was not until the late 20s that Nelson Sr. promoted this unwritten tactic. To the realm of theoretical heights:
"Actually, when you're fouling a guy who's bad at free throws repeatedly, the defense tends to work better than a regular defense."

Since then, O'Neal, Big Ben, Howard, Jordan Jr., Josh Smith, Rondo and others have all fallen victim to this tactic.

For such a victorious old man, what is Pengci?It's better than deliberately hurting people.

"yes……"

Mu Lin smiled, it seems that his teacher really fascinated this Chinese boy.

Except for Dirk, Mullin seldom saw the old Nelson care so much about any player.

"His golf quotient is indeed very high, he has a good grasp of the rhythm of dribbling and organizing offense, and his defensive footsteps don't seem to be as bad as the outside rumors. In addition, his style of play is pleasing, he is also handsome, and he is Huaxia. people……"

Mullin continued,

"If he comes to the Bay Area, I believe he will soon be loved by these fans. I think the team should not have to worry about the sales of home tickets and jerseys."

"Is that what you saw, Chris."

Old Nelson exhaled a puff of smoke slowly,
"On him, what I saw was—"

His deep but cloudy eyes emitted an extraordinary brilliance.

"The Future of Warriors."

Mu Lin was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect old Nelson to have such a high opinion of Zhang Bolong.

"However, won't it be too heavy to use Baron as a bargaining chip?"

He thought for a while, and still struggled:

"Barron's salary is as high as $1500 million this season, which means we have to swallow another contract of similar value from the Lakers.

And the candidate for the Lakers to make a proper balance is Lamar Odom with a salary of more than 1200 million. Teacher, you know, the Lakers will never produce Odom.

That is to say, the final conclusion of this deal is likely to require the intervention of a third party, or to make a big deal involving several people, then our previous tactical system will be completely destroyed. "

"It's not something you worry about, Chris, that kid would fit perfectly into my tactics."

"I believe, sir, but..."

Mullin paused and offered his suggestion:
"I think, can we talk to the Lakers and do it with Ellis as the main body?

Monta started off well this season, his salary is $66, and Dragon's is $94, the two are swapped one after the other, we can even have another second round—”

"Better not, Chris."

Old Nelson waved his hand,

"In my eyes, Monta's value is higher than Baron's, unless the Lakers want Monta by name."

The two chatted for a while, and Mullin came out of Old Nelson's house after three o'clock in the morning.

The cold wind also cleared his sleepy mind a lot, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

My teacher is worthy of being a "mad scientist", and his brain circuit is different from ordinary people.

Now, who would think that Ellis is stronger than Baron?

No matter how bad Baron is, he is still an All-Star player at his peak!

It's fine to exchange for Zhang Bolong, why can't even a fledgling rookie be compared in Nelson's eyes?

For a moment, Mullin felt a little sympathetic to the bearded man.

"Hey, teacher, if this deal really goes through, maybe my office will be filled with threatening letters from fans the next day..."

……

"Long, hello, I'm Catherine, a reporter from Yahoo Sports. I believe you have also seen the negative comments about you in the media recently. What do you think about it?"

"Maybe it's because there are so many people. I just play. Whether it's Kobe or LeBron, which superstar can get less negative comments? I'm very happy that I can join their ranks."

"Pfft," the blond Catherine laughed, "You mean, do you think you're already a superstar?"

"I think I'm already a goat," Zhang Bolong said with a smile, "I hope you can report it truthfully."

If the headline of a piece of news is "Rookie Gossips Comparable to Super Giants", it is likely to cause many fans to go crazy.

But if the title is changed to "Rookie Claims to be Goat", there is no doubt that this is just a joke.

"Hello, Long, this is the San Francisco Chronicle. Many people have commented on your defensive problems, but today we can see that your footsteps in defense are significantly faster. May I ask what caused you to get so good? What about big progress?"

"Uh, first of all I want to thank Guo Jia..."

After accepting the post-match interview, Zhang Bolong glanced at his mobile phone.

58:[-] am.

He doesn't like this kind of game playing late at night, because it will delay his sleep.

But he has to admit that the players are often in a state of excitement at this time and can show their best game performance.

The league also particularly likes to arrange important games during this time period, because many office workers will not get off work until this time, and more people will choose to watch the game to relax, and the team's ticket revenue will naturally be higher.

Back home, Curry, who had already fallen asleep at the door, wagged his tail excitedly, waiting for Zhang Bolong to carry him to bed.

After this city battle, the Lakers will get two days of free time.

After that, they will go to Utah, which is made up of wind-eroded landforms and jagged rocks, and challenge the current No. [-] Jazz in the league in Salt Lake City, the holy land of Mormonism.

In addition to the famous Mormon Temple, believers in Salt Lake City also love and believe in another place, and that is Energy Solutions Arena.

The history of Utah jazz is not long. In 1980, the jazz team located in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, moved with his family to Salt Lake City, a place of bitter cold, and retained the name of jazz, which is completely contrary to religion.

Like the Nuggets, the Jazz's home energy solution arena is also located in the Colorado plateau, and its altitude sickness is not inferior to the Denver area.

But what is more terrifying than the Nuggets' home court is that the Jazz's iron-blooded style and the existence of Mormonism have cultivated a group of diehard fans.

Jazz fans never miss the team's important games, and they are crazy enough to use vulgar language to interfere with the visiting team's performance.

The violent fans, the noise all over the sky and the warm plateau desert environment have created the Energy Solutions Arena, the most daunting "devil's home stadium" in the entire NBA.
