Chapter 323 324. We Are All Friends (One More)

April 11

After two days of rest, the Bobcats players are also ready to go and will start their Western road trip.

For any team, consecutive road trips are definitely a huge test.

Compared with playing at home, the away game not only has to bear more pressure, but the mental state and physical strength of the players are also difficult to guarantee.

Fortunately, the players of the Bobcats are generally young, and in terms of physical recovery, they must be faster than veteran players.

But the bad thing is that in the away game, they face the pressure of the audience and the favoritism of the referee. This is the biggest weakness of the rookie players.

The first opponent the Bobcats face on their road trip in the West is their old acquaintance, the Golden State Warriors.

The head coach of the Golden State Warriors is none other than Bickerstaff, Liu Rui's former chief assistant coach.

After serving as the head coach of the Warriors this year, Bickerstaff dared to join the Warriors' management in the summer.

So at the beginning of the season, the offensive firepower displayed by the Warriors was indeed much higher than last season.

And this game is not only the first time that Bickerstaff has faced his old club Bobcats in other teams.

Montgomery, who is also the assistant coach of the Bobcats, faces his former team, the Golden State Warriors.

After the Warriors introduced Baron Davis this season, the overall changes to the team are still very big.

Davis has excellent physical talent, and his ability to break through strong dunks is even more explosive.

It can be said that at the point guard position, apart from the later Westbrook, I am afraid that no one has the explosive power to play like Baron Davis.

Moreover, in one of the statistics of the NBA, it is the physical confrontation in the air after the players take off. Baron Davis ranks first in history at the point guard position.

Although Liu Rui has never fully understood how these data are calculated.

But the NBA always has some weird records and statistics, even sitting on the bench and laughing twice can get a technical foul...

So Liu Rui doesn't think it's so strange for this kind of statistics.

After Baron Davis came to the Warriors, he also injected a new soul into the Warriors.

Because this also means that at the critical moment, the Warriors have a real offensive backbone, no longer like last season, whoever has a chance will shoot.

This kind of selfless play is of course a good thing, but at the critical moment of chasing points, it will become a burden instead.

Because of potential injuries, Liu Rui gave Bickerstaff a suggestion before the start of the regular season.

It is to let Baron Davis take as many rotations as possible, and the back-to-back games can be let go to prevent him from playing with injuries.

So now Davis is playing and stopping, but he is still able to hand over the comprehensive data of 17.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game.

If you don't look at the player's name, but just look at the position and statistics, Liu Rui might think it is a young Westbrook.

As for why not Kidd, because this score is too high...

Besides Baron Davis, the most threatening and stable player on the offensive end of the Warriors is of course the dunk king Richardson.

Richardson's physical fitness is top-notch, otherwise it would be impossible to win the dunk king award.

Coupled with the development of a three-point shot, it made him very difficult on the defensive end.

So far, he has averaged 23 points per game and is the leading scorer in the Warriors.

In terms of the current scoring average alone, it is a little higher than Joe Johnson.

However, referring to the lineups and shooting ratios of the two teams, it is clear that the gold content of the two teams cannot be said in words.

In terms of true shooting percentage, Joe Johnson also beat Richardson's 59.6% with [-]%.

It is worth mentioning that Fisher is now serving as a backup point guard for the Warriors and is playing the best season of his career.

Sure enough, even in the Warriors, Bickerstaff couldn't change this problem. He just always likes to use some of these point guards...

Before the game, the players of the two teams conducted shooting training on both sides.

The players also went up to say hello to Bickerstaff one by one.

After all, the reason why the Bobcats were able to work together to achieve such results last year was that Bickerstaff's adjustment was also essential.

And for Bickerstaff, the players also like it very much.

Liu Rui also had a long conversation with Bickerstaff standing on the sidelines before the game, while Montgomery seemed a little embarrassed.

Because Montgomery is a college coach, it is inevitable that he will have a commanding tone when explaining tactics to players, appearing superior.

So this also led to the fact that in the team, he is not liked by the players.

On the Warriors side, only a few people greeted Montgomery, and then started their respective shooting training.

Before the game, a reporter found Liu Rui on the sidelines and wanted to interview him, but Liu Rui did not refuse.

After all, in the unspoken rules of the NBA, except when it is really necessary, the team will rarely refuse interviews from the media.

After all, in a business alliance, offending the media is not a good choice.

And if you want to increase the popularity of the team/players and get more profits, of course the promotion of the media is indispensable.

So in general, the media and the team can be regarded as helping each other.

It's just that there are a few scum in every industry, and the existence of unscrupulous media is inevitable.

Reporter: "Coach Liu Rui, we all know that Piccolo used to be your assistant coach. This season he came to the West to serve as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors. This game is also the first time you two have played against each other. May I ask how you feel now?"

Liu Rui: "I don't have too many emotions. After all, he is not a woman. What kind of mood can I have, haha."

"In fact, I'm very pleased. Now the Warriors are getting better and better under the leadership of Piccolo. Seeing the current scene, the entire Bobcats team is happy for him."

"After all, we have created some miracles together, but everyone should have their own choices, so no matter what, we have always been friends in private, and we have always communicated."

Reporter: "So, this game is also the first time your two teams have played against each other this season, but judging from the current situation, it may be difficult for the Warriors to be your opponent, so will you give your old partner a step down?"

Liu Rui: "That's a good question. As a friend, I think Piccolo's coaching career has gone too smoothly, so I plan to let him know what it means to know that there are people outside people, and there is a sky outside the sky."

"Don't thank me too much, these are what I should do, who made us friends!!"

"........."
