Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 208
After defeating the Pistons, the Warriors got a rare 2-day rest.

On the second day after the game, Rodman got up early, which was a rare occurrence. While there were not many people in the training hall, he quietly came to the video room and found Van Gundy who was sleeping in the video room.

"Aha..." Van Gundy, whose sleep was interrupted, was a little tired after reading the book. He yawned a few times from time to time, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and his hair was messed up like a chicken coop. thickened up.

The original handsome face has disappeared, replaced by an unkempt greasy middle-aged man.

Since the beginning of the season, Van Gundy has lived in a video room, often staying up late and not going home. Duckworth jokingly called Van Gundy and his wife a widowed marriage.

Even looking at Van Gundy's gradually rising hairline, the coaching staff and players were afraid that Van Gundy would die suddenly in the video room.

Nelson also persuaded him twice to pay attention to rest, but it was a pity that Van Gundy ignored all the rumors and continued to go his own way.

"Why did you come to the gym so early today? This is not like your usual style!" Rubbing his red eyes, Van Gundy joked with Rodman.

"I can't sleep, help me find the piston video!"

"The video of the Pistons? Isn't it over with the Pistons?" Van Gundy wondered.

"Not for that reason."

Van Gundy looked at Rodman, who hesitated and refused to speak out, and was very curious in his heart. As for the hardest-working person in the video, the entire Warriors plus the coaching staff, Rodman can be ranked in the top five.

However, Rodman borrowed videotapes, most of them from his own team, in order to understand his teammates' shots so as to judge where the rebounds will fall, which was given to him by Malone.

And it was the first time to borrow from other teams like today.

Fortunately, Van Gundy didn't ask too much. He picked and picked on the shelf, and he took out more than a dozen copies and piled them on the table in front of Rodman.

"That's all?" Rodman looked at the selected video tapes, disappointed.

"That's not much? Let me tell you, except for the Pistons, I have more videos of the Pistons in the entire league. Other teams may not even have five or six copies. If the boss hired a few more scouts, every It is impossible to have so many videos of the key winning teams of this season."

"But this is too little..." Rodman looked disappointed.

"Then do you want it? I can take it back if you don't want it?"

"Yes! You save it for me, and I'll watch it after training in the afternoon!" Rodman immediately changed his face, flattering Van Gundy.

After leaving the door of the video room, Rodman still felt dissatisfied. After all, the video quality today is too low. It seems to be separated by a layer of veil on TV, and the shooting distance is far away. It is impossible to see the small movements of the players clearly. In addition, there are not many video tapes now, so it is very difficult to learn, and I still have to find someone to learn from!

Thinking of this, Rodman now has a candidate, and immediately walked to the arena with two Jinhua long legs.

It was already past 8 o'clock in the morning, but Li Weisi was still the only one practicing in the arena. After all, no matter how hardworking a person was, the game the night before would not be too early for training the next day.

"West!"

"What's the matter?" Li Weisi said without looking back.

"I want you to teach me."

"Oh, what do you want to learn? Shooting or breakthrough?" Li Weisi still didn't look at Rodman.

"No, no, I want to learn how to dismantle putty from you! Hehe!" While speaking, Rodman danced and drew a few times, showing a white crane spreading its wings.

"Huh?" [Nick Young Question Mark Face.jpg]
Li Weisi stopped what he was doing, looking at Rodman like a fool.

After two days of rest, the Warriors will go to Los Angeles again to play back-to-back away games. Fortunately, the two teams share the same stadium.

Speaking of which, Old Buss was really kind to Don Sterling. Not only did Sterling allow Sterling to move the Clippers to Los Angeles, but he also allowed the Clippers to share a stadium with the Lakers. His own son was not so good.

Well, of course, Old Buss never expected that his son's management level of the team was no better than Sterling, or even worse than Sterling!
In fact, there is a reason why Bath treats Sterling so well.

When Bass acquired the Lakers in 79, due to insufficient cash, he sold some properties in his hands to Sterling to cash out, because Bass and Sterling were jointly running a real estate business at the time, which was a partnership.

Including Sterling's purchase of the Clippers later, it was also Bass' suggestion to Sterling.

Therefore, although people in later generations call Bass the best NBA owner and Sterling the worst NBA owner, the relationship between the two is closer than everyone imagined.

On the 26th, the Clippers played against the Clippers on the first day. Needless to say, it was another big victory.

So far this season, the Clippers have a record of 10 wins and 42 losses, and the poor record sits firmly at the bottom of the league.

This made Frank very regretful. He really should have asked the Clippers for the pick in 87. Unfortunately, the Clippers were unwilling to give the pick in 87, otherwise they might get the No. [-] pick this year!

129:108, 21 points beat the Clippers.

Malone led the Warriors with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Li Weisi played 27 minutes and scored 16 points and 9 assists. Six of the Warriors scored in double figures.

The Clippers' highest scorer, Mike Woodson, scored 19 points, and former Warriors player Floyd scored 11 points and 11 assists.

After a hellish season, Floyd was exhausted mentally and mentally. He had long since lost the idea of ​​having a hard anus with the Warriors. He only wanted to end this season early.

It's a pity that he still has one year left on his contract, and he has to endure another year here. If he knew that the NBA still has a way to apply for a trade with a designated team, he would definitely choose to do so without hesitation!
After taking the Clippers lightly, the Warriors will face the Lakers again the next day.

I have to say that it is really miserable to be in the same division as the Lakers. In a season, I have to fight against the league's No. [-] four times, and the most important thing is that I can't win even once.

Fortunately, the NBA regular season rankings have not yet introduced a plan for the division champion to guarantee the top three. Otherwise, the Warriors will not be second this season, but fourth.

If that's the case, why are you competing with the Mavericks for second place?Get ready to play the Lakers in the semifinals!

Tucao belongs to Tucao, you should fight or you have to fight.

However, no one expected that it would not be two vigorous point guards but two aging centers that would decide the outcome of tonight's game.

In the end, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the third man in history but not the first center in history, had the last laugh. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who will be 40 years old in less than a month, scored a game-high 30 points and 8 rebounds. Leading the Lakers to defeat the Warriors 121:109.
