Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 13 A Bright Future
Frank's statement obviously couldn't convince Don Nelson and Attles. Both of them are old men in the alliance. They haven't seen any scenes before, so they won't be convinced by Frank's statement at all.

Don Nelson turned to look at Li Weisi again, and asked, "West, what do you think?"

In the meeting tonight, Li Weisi gave Don Nelson the feeling that this player not only has good skills, but also has a novel understanding of basketball, which makes Don Nelson very fond of it.

"In my opinion, first of all, the Rockets are indeed a very strong team. They have a historical level of twin towers, but there are many hidden dangers in the team, which makes me not optimistic about him." Li Weisi said after a little thought .

"Oh? What hidden danger?" Attles raised his eyebrows.

Unlike Don Nelson, Attles doesn't have much affection for Li Weisi. First of all, Frank interfered violently in the team's operations and intervened in the work that should have been the team manager. This made Attles have a problem with Frank. In addition, he naturally didn't like Li Weisi either.

Secondly, as an old-school NBA player, Li Weisi's skills, abilities and stature are not in line with Attles' ideal lineup, not to mention that the team already has a quasi-All-Star guard "Sleeper" Sleeper. Floyd, the player who averaged 17.2 points, 9.1 assists, and 1.9 steals last season, Altus doesn't think Li Weisi can match the opponent.

"According to my analysis, first of all, the Rockets' perimeter and flank strength are limited, and the offense cannot provide enough offensive space for the Twin Towers, making the Rockets' offense completely rely on the Twin Towers' personal talent; and the Rockets' defensive core, also It is still the twin towers, so this will undoubtedly increase the consumption of the twin towers. Although the twin towers are still young, as time goes by, their injury probability will increase exponentially. Therefore, I think Frank's The point of view is logical.

In addition, the Rockets' management has always been known for its stupidity. It is harder to teach them not to make mistakes than to teach math to chimpanzees. "

Li Weisi's words caused everyone present to burst into laughter, and the living room was full of joy. Obviously, everyone did not deny Li Weisi's point of view.

However, after laughing, Attles still reminded: "This is just your subjective guess, we can't base a victory or defeat on the opponent's team's injury, or the opponent's management made a mistake, right? "

"You are right, Al, what I said is only based on probability after all, in fact, when we consider each other, we naturally have to consider the opponent's strongest lineup.

The lower limit of the opponent is Olajuwon, but the upper line is Sampson. Although Sampson is taller than Olajuwon, he actually acts as a power forward, and it can be clearly seen from this season that Sampson Sen participated more in the team's series tasks, and handed over the main task of scoring to Olajuwon. The cooperation between the two is also very tacit, and they are indeed difficult opponents.

According to our current lineup, even with me, we can't win at all..."

Attles couldn't help but rolled his eyes, thinking, it's up to you to say, we are the bottom one in the Western Conference, and you still expect to defeat the Western Conference champion immediately, who do you think you are?Russell?Chamberlain?

Even the two of them couldn't do this.

Frank waved his hand and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will carry out a major shake-up this year, starting from the trade and draft, and build the Warriors into a championship-level team within three years."

Faced with Frank's talkative speech, the three people present reacted differently. Attles continued to roll his eyes, and Don Nelson was drinking with a smile on his face. Only Li Weisi seemed to believe it, nodded seriously, and asked: " That's great, thank you, Frank."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Well, the kid is so deceitful!Attles couldn't help feeling in his heart.

"Huh, boss, basketball is no better than a company. You can't succeed by setting a goal and spending money. There are too many uncertainties in it." Stay in the cold water.

"Frank, do you have any plans for this year's offseason trade and draft?" At this moment, Don Nelson put down the bottle and asked suddenly.

"Of course, I have basically decided on the draft list, but the draft picks are close. I will trade some players in the team in exchange for draft picks in recent years. As for the trading partners, the primary goal of this offseason has been determined... ..."

As he spoke, Frank took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, opened it, and handed it to Don Nelson.

Don Nelson took the crumpled piece of paper and took it forward to read, while Attles on the side also raised his head to look over.

On this piece of paper was information about a man whom Don Nelson knew very well, a name destined to go down in history: Moses Malone.

When people mention Ma Long in later generations, people think more of Karl Malone among the two elders of Xuanming, or "Zhuge Malong" who lost his wife and lost his army with a clever plan to secure the world, or the hexagonal warrior, the empire-destroying dragon.

However, in the 80s, there was only one Malone in the entire NBA, and that was him, Moses Malone. As for Karl Malone, he was only a child weighing more than 200 pounds at this time.

What a kid, not exaggerating at all, a rookie who just entered the NBA for a year, and even cried and called his mother at night.

"Prophet" Moses Malone, this 1955-year-old born in 31, has reached the end of his career peak. As the first high school student to enter the professional basketball league, he has been a veteran in the league for 12 seasons , has long been a successful superstar.

As the number one offensive rebounding monster in history, he was elected as the NBA regular season MVP 3 times, was selected to the NBA All-NBA team 4 times, and led the rebounds 6 times.

But it was the 82-83 season that really made him a legend. Before the start of the playoffs, Malone shouted the famous "fo, fo, fo" slogan, which was to sweep his opponents in the playoffs and win the championship. The result is "fo, fi, fo" (4-0, 4-1, 4-0), but this has broken the monopoly of the yellow and green armies taking turns winning the entire 80s.

It stands to reason that such a superstar is difficult to obtain through trade, but this year is a low point for Malone.

Moreover, this matter is also inextricably linked with Don Nelson.

This also starts with a game between the Bucks and the 3ers on March 28 this year. In that game, Malone suffered a serious injury to his right eye when he played only 76 minutes in that game, which caused him to be absent from the team. The last eight games of the regular season and all of the playoffs.

In the absence of Moses Malone, the 76ers lost to the Bucks in seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. It can be said that the Bucks are simply Malone's sufferer.

To make matters worse, after the end of this season, Malone's name was not included in the best team of the year. This is the first time Malone has missed the best team list since 1978.

As such a sufferer of Malone, Don Nelson didn't know it. Instead, he looked at Malone's name, his eyes sparkled, and he thought, if he can really get this without hurting the team What a joy to be a superstar!
