Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 52 Saving Energy
During the intermission, in the locker room, Nelson turned on the hair dryer.

"Aren't you awake yet? Come to play and forget your brains? Look at what you are playing? Is it shit? Yesterday you won against the underdog Suns, and you are so carried away? Look at you..."

Nelson's face was very ferocious, and the players in the locker room all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Nelson. Anyone who was a bit bloody couldn't see his own performance.

At the end of the first half, the score was 63:45. Almost the entire second half was reduced to garbage time. It was simply being rubbed on the ground by the Nuggets.

In the entire locker room, the only one who dared to look at Nelson at this time was Li Weisi. He looked around calmly and met Nelson's gaze without fear.

Seeing that Li Weisi had no awareness at all, Nelson was furious, "West, what were you doing in the first half? Walking on the field? You took 4 shots in total. I see you even after the first half. Are you sweating?"

"It's out, not much!" Li Weisi vetoed Nelson's statement, which attracted the attention of all the players in the room, thinking in their hearts, this guy is too brave, he dared to confront the coach, it's a good show.

"Are you embarrassed to say that? You didn't go all night yesterday and rested at home. They played badly and there was a reason to stay up late. What about you? Why didn't you take the initiative to attack? Are you lazy on the court?"

"Coach, didn't you say before the game that this game will be centered on the inside? I'm implementing your tactics!" Li Weisi looked at Nelson innocently and said.

"You..." Nelson was choked for a while, but seeing the players looking at him, especially the ones hiding in the corner laughed out loud, Nelson realized that this was not going to work, so he shouted Said: "I told you to focus on the inside line. I didn't tell you not to attack, let alone tell you to be lazy."

"I'm not being lazy, I'm just saving energy and collecting data."

"Huh?" Nelson was stunned for a moment, unable to react to Li Weisi's words for a while, and many question marks rose in his heart.

"Why save energy? What data to collect?"

"When we played against each other in the first quarter, I found that my teammates were not in good condition. Thinking of their indulgent behavior last night, I think there is a high probability that the winner will be determined at the last moment tonight. Therefore, a premature outbreak is not conducive to the ball. The team won the victory, and at the same time, it may cause the opponent's defense against me to increase due to this reason, which will further affect my physical strength. Therefore, I need to keep my physical strength in the second half and use it when I need it.

As for the collection of data, I met the Nuggets for the first time, and I am relatively unfamiliar with them. I need to collect and analyze their playing data. In addition, it is difficult to encounter abnormalities on your court. Of course not to be missed. "While speaking, Li Weisi's eyes shone with light.

Li Weisi's straightforward words made everyone sweat profusely. What was this kid thinking on the field?I can't think of any other words to describe him other than "wonderful".

"Besides, to be mysterious, you wasted half of the game, what kind of bullshit data did you collect? When do you plan to play well? Do you plan to wait until the end of the game?" Mu Lin suddenly interjected.

Mullin was in a bad mood. Because he drank too much alcohol last night, his body was a little weak today, and his shots always hit the front. His poor state also made him more irritable, which led to the formation of a vicious circle.

Therefore, they are full of disdain for Li Weisi's whimsical ideas and his practice of preserving physical strength.

Li Weisi was not angry either, and smiled and said, "Of course we collected a lot of useful data, which allows us to have better data support when we counterattack in the second half, and this time point is just at the beginning of the second half."

"What are you going to do?" Nelson suddenly asked, taking over the role of fan.

"As the coach thinks, by maintaining continuous pressure on their inside line in the first half and being inaccurate on the outside line, their defensive energy on the outside line in the second half will definitely be reduced to a minimum. At this time, they only need to give them the maximum outside line. Injuries disrupted their positions, causing them to lose sight of one another, and the outside line could not provide enough help to the inside line, so that we can achieve both inside and outside lines.

At the same time, as long as you are defending English and Leaf, you don't want to completely restrict them, just reduce their hit rate..."

"Heh, what a joke, how many times have you been beaten by that fat man in the first half? You still want to defend him?" Mu Lin interrupted Li Weisi's speech again at this time.

"Someone didn't see anything better?" Rodman couldn't help muttering at this moment.

These words made Mu Lin furious, and immediately stood up: "What did you say?"

Larry Smith on the side quickly pulled Mullin to prevent Mullin from doing anything stupid.

The rift that existed in the team was covered up by yesterday's victory, but this does not mean that the rift will disappear. It only needs a slight loss to appear, and the rift will surface again.

"The reason why Liv singled me many times in the first half was mainly because I let him do it on purpose, so that I could have enough opportunities to collect his data. Now that it's over, of course I will start to restrict him in the second half, but Ying What about Glish? Do you have any thoughts on defending him? You know, the outcome of this game depends on your defense against English." Li Weisi didn't care about Mullin's anger at all, but asked Mullin's defense.

Mullin was in a fit of anger at this time, how could he admit defeat? Although he had no idea, he still said: "Hmph, as long as you can guard Fat, I can guard English."

Facing Mullin's protection, Li Weisi shook his head and said: "You can't guard English, you know it can make him uncomfortable and consume his energy, it's best to do it at the last moment of the game." It’s enough to lower the hit rate.”

"Hey, who are you looking down on?" Li Weisi's kindness made Mu Lin very angry. In Mu Lin's ears, what did Li Weisi mean by this?It means he can but I can't?Is he underestimating himself?
"Okay, stop arguing, do you still see me as a coach?" Fortunately, Nelson took the initiative to smooth things over and prevented the situation from deteriorating.

"In the second half of the game, we can't rely on West and Mullin's single defense. Terry, you and Larry should also pay attention to assisting defense and strangle the opponent's two arrow figures."

"Coach, don't help defend Leaf. His passing ability is still very good. Once you help defend, he will give him a chance." Li Weisi interrupted Nelson's speech again.

Nelson glared at Li Weisi viciously, then pretended not to hear, and continued to say to the players: "Today is your first home game of the season, and I don't want fans to pay for tickets to come in just to see you acting like shit. the match of."
