Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 48
Since the Warriors will play back-to-back home and away games at the start of the game, and the team players went to play all night, Nelson canceled the next day's training and did not ask to gather until 4 pm.

Nelson didn't stay up all night last night, and he was getting older and had less sleep, so he came to the training hall in the morning and began to study tonight's opponent, the Denver Nuggets.

Unlike the Suns yesterday, the Nuggets tonight are tough. Last season, the Nuggets finished third in the Western Conference. Although they only had 47 wins and 35 losses, they were also a strong team in the Western Conference after the Lakers and Rockets. .

Therefore, it is impossible to face the Nuggets as easily as they faced the Suns last night. Fortunately, the Nuggets just experienced a game last night. There is a big gap, and at the same time, I still have the home field advantage, which should be regarded as a little advantage.

What the Nuggets need to pay attention to is naturally the super scorer small forward Alex English. Speaking of English, he still had a relationship with Nelson in his early years.

English was in the Bucks when he first entered the league, and he happened to be under Nelson. But at that time, Nelson hadn't let himself go. The team focused on defense, and English, who was thin, didn't get Nelson's attention. Not only can't play the main force, but even very little playing time.

Later, English, who left the Bucks, came to the Nuggets and fell into the hands of the Nuggets coach Doug Moe. Since then, he has soared into the sky and became a scoring weapon. He won the regular season scoring champion in the 82-83 season. .

It can be said that English is one of the few players that Nelson missed.

In addition to English, the Nuggets also need to pay attention to one person, that is the comprehensive combo guard Fat Leaf.

Although he is not well-known in later generations, he is very strong. It can be said that he is the strongest point guard in the league except for the magician.

And in the four years since he joined the league, he has been improving steadily. Especially after Nelson watched the game video of the Nuggets beating the Spurs last night, Fat Leaf seems to have improved again, scoring 4 points, 25 rebounds and 9 assists. Triple pair data.

This player is physically strong and strong in steals. Can the thin Li Weisi still gain an advantage in the confrontation with him and show a perfect game like last night?
To be honest, Nelson really doesn't hold out much hope for this.

That being the case, Nelson has some ideas about the tactics for the night, and he needs to discuss the details with the coaching staff.

In addition, the twin stars of the Nuggets, a small forward who is good at shooting and scoring, and a point guard who is strong and good at getting triple-doubles, well, there is that picture, it is really familiar.

Nelson, who had been researching all afternoon, had just come up with some results when suddenly there was a loud noise downstairs, and the harsh noise woke up Nelson who was in deep thought.

Nelson raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was 15:40, and it was almost time to gather. So Nelson reluctantly closed his notebook for writing and drawing, packed it up and walked downstairs.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw several players blocking the door next to the locker room, chatting about something.

Nelson pushed them away, but the scene in front of him made him exclaim: "Damn, Frank, what are you doing? What is this? A bathtub? Are you going to take a bath here?" Nelson pointed to the inside of the room. Three or four large iron buckets arranged in a row of bathtubs asked.

In the room, Frank was directing several workers to install something, while Li Weisi was caressing one of the bathtubs, as if he was stroking his lover's cheek.

"Oh, Nellie, this is the cold therapy machine I found someone to develop. I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect it to be built so quickly." Frank briefly explained to Nelson, and then turned his eyes to the side Li Weisi, who was pretending to be a star, said: "It seems that Antoine's company has excellent research and development capabilities. It seems that we can find them to develop more equipment in the future."

"...So, do you want to take a bath, or a cold bath?" Nelson asked after squeezing in, pointing to the cold therapy machine.

I have to say that Nelson regrets it now. If he knew that Frank was so capable of doing things, he would never have easily agreed to Frank's invitation to be the head coach of Lao Shizi. It is too worrying to have such a wonderful boss.

"Of course the cold therapy machine is used for cold therapy! He uses liquid nitrogen to treat it..." Frank was halfway through the explanation, and suddenly ran out of words. Obviously, with his knowledge reserve, he still couldn't explain the principle. So he turned his attention to Li Weisi who was in high spirits.

Aware of Frank's gaze, Li Weisi immediately understood what Frank meant, and the tacit understanding between the two was so good, so Li Weisi replied for Frank: "This therapy was proposed by a Japanese scientist in the 1970s, although it has not received any international movement. The organization gave a positive answer, but the ancient Egyptians in 2500 BC had already used this kind of ice bath to treat injuries, and I have rigorously calculated that the rapid cooling of this liquid nitrogen can indeed eliminate muscle inflammation and relax muscles play a positive role.

Nowadays, cryotherapy machines made of liquid nitrogen that can control the freezing temperature and the range of freezing necrosis have already been used in surgical clinics, and we just transform the machines used in medical treatment. "

"Treat the injury?" Ma Long, who was about to go to the locker room and didn't care about their fuss, was moved when he heard Li Weisi's words. The old player was very sensitive to injuries and couldn't help interjecting.

"Yes, although it can't be scientifically proven at present, it can indeed relieve delayed muscle soreness and inflammation. It works by reducing your nerve impulses, reducing your perception of pain, reducing the flow of enzymes to muscles, and relieving pain. The swelling and inflammation that occurs when your muscles repair the minimally invasive damage caused by high-intensity exercise.

Combined with massage and stretching, it is very effective for post-match fatigue recovery, so Frank has installed several sets next to the locker rooms in the gymnasium and training hall. I am going to try it after the game tonight. "

The more Li Weisi talked, the more excited he became. At this moment, he looked a bit like an evil scientist in a cartoon, full of enthusiasm for something.

"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, it looks like a good thing. I will try it after the game." Ma Long completely ignored Li Weisi's explanation, walked around the cold therapy machine, and said carefully.

"Yes, yes, I will try too!" Rodman also said aside.

"Come on, if you play against a strong team like the Nuggets today, you don't have time to play, so let me do it!" Dak joked to Rodman.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

"..."

"Shut up!" Nelson said furiously, "The game is about to start, everyone is gathered around here and the game is over. Go back to the locker room, we have a meeting."

In order to keep out of sight and out of mind, Nelson blasted all the players into the locker room.
