Chapter 275 Cole Returns! (twenty three)
The regular season is going on intensely.
Maybe even the players didn't notice.At this time, the regular season is almost over.
With a record of 46 wins and 6 losses, the Warriors are the best in the league!
Let's take the second place~ Because the team with the first winning percentage in the league is an existence that you can't surpass~
Other teams can only watch the Warriors stare blankly at this time.Because the Warriors are indeed too strong this season.
On this day, the news about the Warriors in the media directly swiped the screen.
Because their head coach Cole has returned!
And made it clear that it will appear in the next game.
The opponent they face is the Los Angeles Clippers, whether they are strong this season!
At this time, in the Western Conference rankings, the Warriors are first, the Spurs are second, and the Clippers are No. 3!
Of the 6 games that the Warriors have lost so far, the Kings have accounted for two, and the Clippers have recently accounted for two!
Because of geographical location, the Clippers and Warriors will play 4 games this season.
This is the last game of the season.
The Clippers changed their usual ostentatious attitude, and none of the team's players were interviewed before the game.
They won the Warriors two games this season, and they will also win them in the last game!
The league also recently issued a statement that all the games that coach Wharton led the team to win during this period belong to Coach Cole.Nothing to do with him.
Cole: "I could have stayed in the hospital for a few more days. But I just couldn't. Now that the doctor said I could leave the hospital, I did.
It's incredible, Walton.Now the coach is really awesome~"
Wharton: "I didn't actually do anything. I just copied your usual tactical drills and changed a few punctuation points.
The players are also very good.In many games, I feel that I just lie down and win~ I don’t do anything, and the game is over.Winning one game after another, I'm worried if I win~"
Wharton relaxed when he saw Cole today.
Finally the head coach came back.Although it is very enjoyable in this position.but also so tired
The key point is that tiredness is not the point. The point is that this is not included in Wharton's coaching performance this season.All the grades belong to Kerr.
Cole: "What's so scary about that?"
Walton: "My goal is that when you come back, all the players on the team are healthy. Just ask for it"
Cole: "Yeah. If a player is injured, it will really affect the team's performance. I came back and heard that Thompson will return to the team soon.
You don't have to work so hard now.I will give you three days off.You have a good rest"
Wharton: "I love hearing this~ is it now?"
Kerr: "Today is your day off. But today doesn't count as three days off. You get paid time off today!"
Walton: "With a coach like you, I don't even want to be the team's head coach~ I want to be by your side all the time~"
At this time, Wharton left Cole's office after he finished speaking with a smile.
This year has been stressful though.But the surprise is not small.
The Warriors have improved again this season in terms of player strength, coordination and player equipment.In addition, they have young and promising assistants like Wharton.
Although the Warriors have experienced super long player injuries that the outside world cannot imagine, although they were questioned before the season.
But it seems that this season does not affect the ability of the Warriors to improve again!Cole doesn't know exactly how much he has improved.
That's what's scary about this season.The Warriors have been through a lot over the years, but they don't seem to be going downhill.
All the signs of this season seem to be heralding something.
Cole would feel extremely excited when he thought of this!But he had to hold his breath.
Every round of the playoffs is no small test.Unless they can sweep their opponents, once they are eliminated, the Warriors will undergo a major reshuffle from players to coaches this season!
The patience of the team management has reached its limit this season.
Some managers, who did not want to be named, even revealed in an interview that it seems that Splash Brothers' investment of over [-] million yuan seems to be in vain.
At that time, their Warriors will immediately become the joke of the entire league!
For spending so much money.But did not win a championship.
In fact, when players are paid over [-] million yuan in salary, many fans and the media are already waiting to see their jokes.
In the view of the media, it means that even if the inflation is very strong, it is not enough to pay players hundreds of millions of dollars in salary?
Thompson: "I feel good now! The doctor has said that I can go back to the game now.
I called Cole to announce the good news, but the head coach told me that during this week's observation period, you are not allowed to leave the hospital
My teammates have the same attitude.
Oh well.Since I have rested for such a long time.I don't care about spending another week in the hospital either.But this game must be careful my brothers.
The momentum of the Clippers this season has been ferocious."
It is rare that the Los Angeles Clippers have played so far, and their team has not had any main players injured.
The team also completely changed some of their game styles in dozens of games.
Jordan is more focused on defense and rebounding.And there has also been a significant improvement in passing!
At this time, Jordan's assist data per game has increased by 0.7 compared with last season!
The Clippers want to be competitive in the West. First of all, they have strengthened the shots of outside players.
And their team's defensive ability is good, and now with this kind of offense, their performance on the field has become very scary!
During this time, the strong teams in the West were defeated by them one by one!The Warriors were defeated by them twice!
The media has already felt that such a team may become a dark horse in the Western Conference playoffs this season!
When it came to the second round, it was wonderful!
Although the Warriors are still No.1 in the heat of discussion on the Internet.But maybe I didn’t play well, maybe I’ll be out in the playoffs this season~
Many fans and the media are looking forward to the Warriors finishing a high-profile regular season and being eliminated in the playoffs~
Before the game until the Clippers players entered the arena, they were not disturbed by the media.Because they can't bother the Clippers.
Cole's return is not good news for them.
This season, they played very seriously in every game against the Warriors in the regular season.
Lost the first game, won the next two.In the regular season, there are voices in the league and online discussions saying that it is not easy for any team to win a game against the Warriors.
And they and the Kings are both teams that have won the Warriors two games in a row.
The Clippers feel that it is not accidental that they can win the Warriors, but that their defense can effectively suppress the opponent's scoring.
On the offensive end, the team can still perform brilliantly from time to time!
Griffin: "Look, Cole is really back. But Walton doesn't seem to come to the game today"
Paul: "Change the soup but not the medicine. The players are still the same. It's not difficult.
Li Feng is now in an adjustment period, so his performance is not so stable.This is a good breaking point.But I still feel that the Warriors are not very strong.
It's just that everyone has some shadows about this team.So naturally, it will be affected during the game. "
Griffin: "But we have prepared enough for this season. So our confidence is still relatively high"
Paul: "That's right. You can say that. We're not afraid of any team this season.
Although the winning rate is not high.But in those games that we lost, either our players rested or our opponents were basically eliminated in the playoffs.
I'm now looking forward to Thompson coming back and playing with us!It’s not too difficult to play against the current Warriors.”
Griffin: "I heard that he can come back. As a result, Cole asked him to directly observe in the hospital for another week"
Paul: "This Cole is much better than Walton, but no matter what, I feel that we are one step closer to the championship!"
The surrounding players were encouraged to hear Griffin and Paul talking at this time!
Maybe if they are not careful, next season will be the team that won the championship!
When a team wins the championship, as long as the players are not too weak, they will basically be looted by other teams!
As a substitute player of the championship team, there will be a feeling of being a chicken dog and ascending to heaven alone!
Cole: "Varejao, you won't be allowed to start this game. In the previous games, pay more attention to Speights' coping skills at the basket.
We are now playing against players like Jordan, that's all we can do.Head-to-head will not please"
This season, as long as he is a player of the Warriors.It will feel very comfortable.
Because whether it is Walton coaching the game or Cole.Their tempers are surprisingly good.
Walton is a young coach who connects with the players.
As for Cole, it is more about patience with his players and his usual training!
The players also know that although the team's situation at this time is that they need to improve in terms of defense and rebounding, so they must find these back in the regular season.
But improving your responsiveness alone, and the team consciously cultivating you are completely two concepts.
The former may not be eliminated by the team for unknown reasons.But the latter is the worst. When you are eliminated, the team will let you know the reason.
But generally as long as you seriously improve your skills, even if you are eliminated, it will also be beneficial to other teams.
So this season, the Warriors' players who have been under the basket for a long time will play hard.
The Clippers' big center Jordan, although technically still relatively rough.But it is undeniable that he is one of the most powerful centers nowadays!
Players from both sides entered the field.Today is the home game of the Warriors.
The atmosphere of the scene is very similar to the playoffs.Because of the first two games at Staples Center, the final result stung Warriors fans.
At this time, there were many fans in the auditorium shouting for the team to beat the Clippers.
The starters for the Clippers today are Jordan, Griffin, Stephenson, Redick and Paul.
The Warriors are Speights, Green, Barnes, Curry and Li Feng!
During this period of time, Li Feng seems to have encountered a bottleneck period in his career.
He wants to improve his touch quickly, but the more anxious he is, the lower his shooting accuracy will be in the game
So far he has reduced his number of shots a lot.
Although the team didn't say anything, the views of the outside world were very consistent.That is, Li Feng's state at this time is too similar to Jeremy Lin's when he left the Knicks!
From a dazzling player, he suddenly became a point guard who can barely play the data of ordinary blue-collar players.
The number of assists depends entirely on whether your teammates are accurate.But fortunately, Li Feng's luck may be good. He is in a team that is good at shooting.
So the number of assists is quite impressive.
When Cole comes back this time, he definitely doesn't want Thompson to return to the team immediately.
He wants to take a good look at the state of every player on his team before Thompson comes back.
Because as long as Clay returns to the team, other players will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.
Also, I don't want to let other teams know as soon as possible what their Warriors are like after Thompson's return.
For example, the current Clippers.If Thompson plays in this game.Maybe right away they will be able to grasp what the level of the Warriors is in the playoffs.
Because the two strong teams in the West met just like this, it is impossible to just fight and pass.
The two teams will definitely fight.While fighting for who can win the victory, they also conducted a thorough investigation.
Cole was thinking that the live game had already begun.Jordan gets the basketball first!
Then Griffin received his pass, Paul rushed over quickly, and after receiving the ball, he faced Curry with a three-pointer!
Among the Western Conference teams, the Warriors, Spurs and Clippers should not be too strong this season.
Only the Spurs are still playing team basketball, but it will not be easy to win the San Antonio Spurs
They seem to have some kind of magical power. As long as they play against the Spurs, it is difficult to control the rhythm of the game.
Because the rhythm of the scene is controlled by the Spurs.
Li Feng received the basketball at this time, and some boos could even be heard on the home court of the Warriors.Although the boos are small.
Green quickly passed halftime and received a pass from Li Feng. In the end, Barnes got his pass and his jumper was interfered by Stephenson!
After Paul got the ball, he directly lowered his body and passed the ball to Redick, who jumped up and hit a three-pointer!
6:0!The camera immediately focused on Coach Cole.
The fans immediately cheered after seeing Coach Kerr on the big screen again!
But at this time, Cole watched the game with a worried look.He held the tactical board in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The Clippers seem to have made up their minds, and no one talks to the Warriors players.
Even Green's verbal provocations just now did not change the mood of the Clippers players.
Li Feng tried to shoot once from the three-point line, and the basketball was blunt!
The confrontation ability has improved, and the shooting has begun to be inaccurate. Paul directly lobs the ball to Griffin. Stephenson catches the ball on the other side and hits a three-pointer!
Cole signaled for a timeout at this point.
