Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 215
The end of the game with the Bulls also means that the entire March game is over. At this time, the Warriors' record has come to 50 wins and 21 losses.

It has been less than a month since the start of the playoffs. When all the teams were preparing to make the final sprint for the team's record, the Warriors chose to slow down.

"What? Rest?" Nelson said in surprise, looking at Frank in the office.

"Yeah! What's the problem?" Frank said without haste.

"But why is that?"

"There are many reasons for this, such as adjusting the state of the players, allowing the players to rest, so as not to cause injuries due to fatigue, etc." Frank explained one by one.

"But you don't need to prepare so early? There are still 11 games left!"

"What does that matter, can't you start preparing early?"

Nelson's face was a bit ugly. He thought for a while and said, "That's good, but the team's record..."

"What are you afraid of? We have already overfulfilled the task, and I looked at our opponents in April, and most of them are big teams. In addition, we are now 4 games ahead of the Mavericks. Even if we take a rest, I believe that the Mavericks The record can't surpass us, as for chasing the Lakers, don't even think about it, it will definitely not catch up."

"But this..." Although Nelson agreed with Frank's statement, there was still some hesitation on his face.

"Okay, don't worry about it, don't worry, this year's best coach will definitely be you!"

"Hey, I don't care about this, and it's not like I haven't won it before!" Faced with Frank's teasing, Nelson waved his hand quickly, expressing that he didn't care about the award of the best coach, but the old Versailles was out of line.

In fact, Nelson is just telling the truth. He really doesn't care about this award. He has won it twice in the Bucks. Compared with the best coach, he wants the championship trophy more.

"Then what are you worried about? Let's take a rest gradually. If there is really a problem with the team's record when the time comes, just play again!"

Seeing what Frank said, Nelson had nothing else to say, so he had to agree. After all, the team's rotation is really good for the players. After a long season of games, any player will feel a little tired, of course, except for the water cooler administrator.

"Then for the next game, who will be rested first?"

"Let's start with West!" Frank smiled and said a name that did not surprise Nelson at all.

"What? Let me have a truce?" Li Weisi looked at Nelson in a bewildered manner, very puzzled.

"Yes! Considering that the team's current record is stable, in order to prepare for the playoffs, the coaching staff decided after discussion that you will have a planned rest, and you will be the first one to rest in the next game."

"But why me?"

Why you, don't you have any AC numbers in your heart?

Of course, Nelson would not say that, he would only complain silently in his heart, and he still had to choose a good word: "You are a rookie, and your physical condition can't compare with those muscular clubs. A strong defense consumes a lot of your energy.

So this rest is mainly for you and Moses. Chris has a one-month truce during the season, so his physical reserves are not bad. At the same time, our team has many rookies, and we also need to give them opportunities to exercise. "

Even though Nelson was making excuses, everything he said was well-founded and convincing. Even Li Weisi couldn't refute it.

After all, Frank has washed Li Weisi's brains for so many years, and the concept of protecting the body has penetrated into his heart. Even if it is a robot, isn't there such a thing as not playing cards and resting?
In desperation, he could only follow Nelson's arrangement.

The Warriors issued an announcement on the same day, saying that Li Weisi would miss tomorrow's game due to back spasms. Fortunately, tomorrow's game against Denver is an away game, so there will be no delay in buying tickets at home.

The only thing that will cause losses is Li Weisi's supporters who go to the away game to watch the game. After all, almost every away game will have Li Weisi's Chinese fans going to the scene to support.

On the 2nd, he went to Denver to play against the Nuggets. Price finally ushered in his starting career again. He just played well in the last game. He hoped that this game can continue his good state, but the reality is so cruel.

出战33分钟，8投4中得到12分，外加5助攻3篮板，打的非常挣扎。

On the contrary, Fat Leaf, who played against him, played 30 minutes and scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Oh, by the way, there were 5 steals, most of which were for Price.

The broken Price almost doubted life.

After the game, Price sat on the bench with an ugly expression on his face. He thought that after such a long period of training, he should have improved, but how did he become like this?
Also under Leaf's defense, Li Weisi could easily score 2 or 30 points. How could the gap be so big?

In fact, Price was not the only one who performed poorly tonight. Even Malone, the team's always stalwart, performed mediocrely tonight, scoring only 19 points and 8 rebounds.

In addition to the thin air in Denver, the Nuggets shrank their defense tonight because the Warriors did not have Li Weisi as an outside containment point. This made Malone, who is usually used to the open penalty area, feel that the penalty area is full of people and cannot fully use his hands and feet.

In the end, the Warriors lost the game 96:132 away, setting the biggest point difference for the Warriors to lose this season.

Fortunately, Li Weisi did not come with the team for this game, otherwise, sitting on the sidelines wearing a suit, he would definitely be so angry that he wanted to take off his suit and play.

The Warriors' nightmare was not over yet. That night, they flew from Denver to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

And this time the rotation became Malone again, and the reason given was a sore knee.

This made Ma Long extremely dissatisfied, and he said that he was not in pain!

"No, you hurt!" Frank said to the angry Malone, "Moses, isn't it just a regular season? You don't deduct your salary, why do you care so much?"

"This..." Malone is stupid, he is better at beating people than slapping people, so he can't tell the reason, but he just thinks this thing can't be done!

"Back to back is very serious for players' physical fatigue. You are over 30 years old now. If you want to earn a few more years, you should take a long-term view. What's more, if we can make it in the playoffs If it’s farther away, then how many more games are there! Don’t care about this regular season game!”

In the end, Malone succumbed to Frank's tongue and agreed to the team's rest plan.

He gave Frank a look, you are the boss, you have the final say, and then left angrily.
