Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 608 Lineup List
Li Weisi came back early after staying in Yanjing for two days. Unlike his father Li Wantang and the others, they could hang out freely. Li Weisi needed to return to San Francisco immediately because the new season was about to start.

This year, Frank launched a new Warriors media open day, inviting media from all walks of life to visit the Warriors team. At the same time, the Warriors also took core makeup photos.

Although Malone has not recovered yet, he still put on the new jersey and took makeup photos with the other four starters.

It was said to be a set photo of the core, but it took a long time to dance. Frank waved his hand, indicating that the starting lineup of the Warriors is the core, and finally the first photo was taken.

However, the reaction at the scene was not bad, except that Li Weisi pissed off the reporter during the interview, everything else was normal.

In addition, the lineup of the Warriors for the new season was also announced for the first time. Starks finally won him a two-year contract of 22 yuan by virtue of his performance in the training camp, and the second year was an option for the team.

It can be seen that the Warriors still have doubts about his performance, so they are ready to sweep him out at any time.

The lineup for the new season so far is:
Point guards: Weisi Li, Steve Kerr, John Starks
Shooting Guard: Mitch Richmond, Dell Curry, Sarunas Matthews Onis,
Small forwards: Chris Mullin, Reggie Lewis, Drayson Petrovic
Power forwards: Dennis Rodman, Anthony Mason
Centers: Moses Malone 2, Verati Divac, Antonio Davis

From the perspective of the lineup alone, the departure of the three Warriors in the summer has reduced the depth of the Warriors' bench lineup, but as far as the current lineup is concerned, the depth of the Warriors' lineup is still the first in the league. The brilliant Petrovic and Divac, or the gradually mature Curry, Lewis, and Mason, such players are still not comparable to the bench lineup of other teams.

Moreover, in the lineup, there are all kinds of roles such as pitcher, organization, defense, single player, etc. Therefore, after the start of the new season, the Warriors still hold the league's first place in the combat power list, followed by the Bulls.

However, the Warriors, which seem to be strong and strong, also have their own crisis. This crisis does not come from the outside, but exists within the team.

After the media open day, the training camp for the new season officially started, but the atmosphere in the team has changed significantly compared with the previous two years. Even Li Weisi, who has always been slow to this, has noticed that there seems to be an indescribable feeling in the team. The change.

Duckworth, who loves to play tricks, has left. Rodman, who often played with him, has no idea what he is thinking all day long. He always feels that he is not very interested in the team. Petrovich also stopped talking.

In addition, Lewis was dissatisfied, Mullin was full of worries, Malone hadn't come back yet, Starks' eyes were high above the top, everything made everyone in the team feel a kind of depression, which was different from the original The relaxed vibe is quite different.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, Li Weisi, as the boss of the team, should stand up and try to make up for it. Unfortunately, Li Weisi completely ignored this and only focused on himself.

As a result, the warriors who used to be like a family suddenly gave people a feeling of fragmentation.

And in mid-October, when Chinese young players traveled across the ocean to train with the Warriors, even these young people noticed something strange in the team.

Originally, for these young people, most of them are coming to the United States for the second time. Unlike the last time, they are familiar with the road this time, and they think that there will be a good environment.

However, on the first day of training, they fell into a very depressing environment.

First of all, the team doesn't seem to welcome them from coaches to players.

After all, this is already a training camp before the start of the new season. If a group of young people are suddenly asked to train with them, everyone will have resistance.

Frank actually knew this, but he had no choice. This year happened to be in time for the Asian Games, and the time could not be advanced. In order to return to the Chinese market as soon as possible, he had to take such a risk.

Secondly, the training of the warriors, they can't keep up at all. Looking at the projects they completed easily one by one, it takes longer time and more effort for them, and they may not be able to complete them. Such a big gap makes them The heart was hit hard.

Finally, it was the oppressive atmosphere in the team that made them feel that the current atmosphere was completely different from what they experienced in Li Weisi's training camp last time.

Fortunately, although they are undergoing the most severe test from body to spirit, they all cherish the opportunity in front of them and force themselves to focus more on the polishing of skills, training mode, and learning of tactics. Although they are not used to the situation in the Warriors, it is far from what they can intervene in, so they have to choose to stay at a respectful distance.

During this process, the new deputy general manager of the Warriors, Donnie Nelson, is very optimistic about Hu Weidong, and specifically suggested to Hu Weidong that he come to the University of the United States to play for two years. After adapting to the game environment here, he can participate in the NBA. draft.

However, it is impossible for Hu Weidong to agree to such an important matter immediately, and the leader of the exchange team also said that he would report to his superiors.

Seeing Hu Weidong, who has attracted much attention, made Ma Jian, a fellow student, very envious. Unfortunately, his performance did not win Downey's favor.

Being ignorant, they trained with the Warriors a few times and watched a few preseason games of the Warriors. Afterwards, with the subsidy given by Frank, they kept shopping in the United States, and then returned home contentedly with gifts.

After these young people left, the life of the Warriors returned to the right track. Although they changed to a new venue and a new training center, the daily training has not changed. Change.

In addition, the performance of the Warriors in the preseason also looked pretty good, with three wins and one loss in four games. Basically, they only played half of the first game, and the second half was almost a stage for the Warriors to come off the bench.

Starks, Curry, and Mason performed very well, especially Starks, the state of the game that dared to fight was impressive.

After all, this kind of beast-like player does not match the overall temperament of the Warriors.

In short, with the end of the preseason, the entire October has gradually passed, and soon came a brand new November, and the new season of the NBA officially started.

The opening game of the Warriors is November 11. Although there are 2 games on this day, none of the games can be compared with this one, because the Warriors' opponent is the Chicago Bulls!
