Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 748 Team Status
The reason why Robert Horry didn't answer Kukoc's question was not because Horry was aloof, but because Kukoc hit Horry's sore spot.

In the summer of 92, relying on the ninth pick in the first round provided by the Kings, the Warriors selected Robert Horry to fill the vacancy of the backup power forward caused by the departure of Anthony Mason Jr.

It has to be said that Horry is indeed worthy of a high-ranking rookie. In the first year of the Warriors, he played very well, and was even selected as a substitute player for the second team of the rookie lineup that year.

In Game 93 of the [-] Finals, at the end of the game between the Warriors and the Bulls, the Warriors could only use Horry as a power forward because Rodman made six fouls.

It is a pity that the young Horry paid the price for his youth. After getting the ball from Li Weisi, facing Jordan, Horry, who was about to make a shot, was intercepted by Jordan. It was precisely because of this key steal that the Warriors lost The last chance to overtake the score.

The Bulls finally defeated the Warriors 109:106, and won the three consecutive championships that shocked the league through the tiebreaker, creating the Bulls dynasty that belonged to Jordan.

Therefore, for Horry, Jordan is his inner demon and the shadow in his heart. At this time, Kukoc mentions Jordan whichever pot he does not open, which is simply playing on the grave, looking for death with precision.

Yesterday's game was held in Saramento, and Saramento is 140 kilometers away from San Francisco, which can be reached in an hour and a half by car. Therefore, Nelson did not cancel the Warriors' training this morning, but only moved backwards. Pushed for an hour.

At ten o'clock, the Warriors players came to the arena one after another.

Over the past few years, the Warriors' lineup has changed a lot compared to before:

PG: Li Weisi, Sam Cassell, Curry,

SG: Mitch Richmond, Sprewell, Brian Shaw,

SF: Chris Mullin, Kukoc, Jalen Rose,
PF: Dennis Rodman, Robert Horry, Isaac Austin,

C: Verratti Divac, PJ. Brown, Moses Malone.

It can be seen that the core of the Warriors is still in the team, but other players have almost changed.

Cassel was selected by the Warriors with the 93th overall pick in the first round of 25 to fill the point guard vacancy left by Cole. Sprewell was selected by the Warriors in 92. The Walters' swap rights were selected with the 94th pick in the first round. In addition, there is PJ. Brown, who was also selected by the Warriors in 12.

Moses Malone, who is about to turn 40 years old, has now completely fallen out of the rotation. In fact, since giving up the starting center position in 92, Malone's condition has become worse and worse. He has completely fallen out of the regular rotation last season line-up.

Most of this season has been on the injured list, but as the leader of the locker room, every Warriors player respects him a lot.

Not to mention his status as the top five center in NBA history at this time, 3 MVPs, 4 championships, 1 FMVP, and the NBA's history of offensive rebounds, but he dedicated the last time of his career to the Warriors. Enough to make everyone on the Warriors pay him respect.

Regardless of the fact that the Warriors have 15 players on the roster, there are actually only 13 players who appeared in the arena today. In addition to Malone's recovery, Mullin is also recovering from his injuries.

After returning from the Olympics, Mullin has been unable to attend all seasons for several consecutive seasons. This season, he only played 20 games. Fortunately, he is expected to return in early April and catch up with the playoffs. This is a blessing in misfortune up.

However, even without the team's second-in-command Mullin, the Warriors' record this year is still surprisingly good. So far, the team has achieved 46 wins and 15 losses, leading the league in record.

Among them, in addition to the amazing performance of Li Weisi, it is also inseparable from the joint efforts of Richmond and other players.

Richmond, who is about to turn 30 years old, has now reached the pinnacle of his career. With Drexler, Dumas and other veteran shooting guards gradually aging, Richmond has become a recognized player this season. The second in the league and the first shooting guard in the West.

In addition, Divac and Rodman have also continued to be selected as All-Stars this year. In addition, although the personnel have undergone a major change, but the strength of the substitute players is still strong, it can be said that the Warriors can achieve such results this season. Well deserved.

"I believe everyone has heard the news that Jordan announced his return today. I think this is a good thing and can make us tense again.

Relying on everyone's hard work this season, it is no problem for us to ensure the first record in the league, but the first place in the regular season does not mean winning the championship. Isn't last year's Supersonics a living example?
Therefore, I hope everyone can pay attention to it. This year’s playoffs are not easy. Let alone entering the finals against the Bulls, the Rockets, the traditional rivals Jazz and Barkley’s Suns, will be our playoffs. Strong contender.

I hope everyone can use the last month of the regular season to adjust their status. As long as everyone takes it seriously and shows all their strengths, I believe that we will still be the champions! "

Before the training started, Nelson seldom had a long talk with everyone with a serious expression on his face. However, this is what he has been wanting to do recently. Seeing that everyone is a little slack, it just happened to give everyone a dose of vaccination after Jordan's comeback.

"Don't worry! Head! We will definitely complete the task!" However, just after Nelson fell, Rodman, who turned his head into a palette, replied to Nelson carelessly.

"Shut up, Dennis! You're the one who gives me the most headaches!"

"Hahaha..." Nelson's words caused the players to burst into laughter. Everyone was well aware of Nelson's difficulties.

In the past two years, Rodman's attitude has become more and more bad. Although his performance on the court is still unreplaced, defense is everywhere, and the rebounding leader is soft, but off the court, his name has been hanged. Chairman Stern's blacklist.

The introverted young man who used to be has now completely degenerated into a greasy middle-aged man who has three major hobbies of picking up girls, tattooing and dyeing hair.

Needless to say, picking up girls, dyeing hair is now too much to develop from monochrome to rainbow colors. The key point is that Rodman, who used to have no tattoos on his body, suddenly became obsessed with tattoos last season. In just over a year, I have almost smelled my whole body.

There are not only Chinese dragons, long swords, Chinese characters and other patterns rich in oriental culture, but also tattoo patterns common to Americans such as the sun and dice. What's more, he actually smelled Nelson's phone number on his body, causing Nelson's phone number to freeze. Almost blown away.

In the end, I had to change the phone number to get rid of the constant ringing noise. Therefore, Nelson was right when he said that Rodman was the one who bothered him the most!
