Chapter 189 The regular season begins, trailing at halftime
The end of the preseason means that the regular season is about to begin, and 29 teams have begun to finalize the roster. During this period, the NBA's unemployment rate is undoubtedly the highest.
The Warriors' schedule is very unfriendly. They are back-to-back from the road as soon as they start. There are not many tough games in the fifteen games in January, but there are three back-to-back. The fifteen games have exceeded one-third of the schedule. My mother is criticized, and Wang Lin and the Warriors team feel the malice of the league towards them.
"It seems that David Stern is really doing everything he can to promote Michael Jordan to the top again." Chris Mullin said nothing. Although the Bay Area market is not worse than Chicago, before Wang Lin arrived, San Francisco was always ignored by Stern. In other words, the entire California State has not been very different from David Stern in the eyes of other teams except the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the finals last season, Wang Lin and the Warriors broke the Bulls' unbeaten record in the finals, and also pulled Michael Jordan off the altar. The defeat in the finals will have a great impact on the historical status of the old gangster. If you don't believe it, just look at James in his previous life. Every time when espn uses his historical rankings to stir up trouble, his ranking has received the most criticism. Why? Isn't it because his winning rate in the finals is comparable to that of Baylor?
Although the league and CCTV are currently working together, this does not mean that Stern will give up Michael Jordan, his godson whom he finally picked up. After all, he was pulled by his shit and urine.
Wang Lin was not as angry as Mulin because he had long understood Stern's intention, and Chris Mulin still did not see through the game.
"It's okay, back-to-back is always going to be played sooner or later. If you beat it earlier, you can find the problem and solve it earlier. There is nothing wrong with it."
In the past few days, Wang Lin has set up a first-game lineup based on the players' training status, point guard Beetles, point guard madman Spreville, small forward Brian Russell, power forward Weber, and center John Amic.
The Warriors' current five starters, except for the number one and number four that cannot be changed casually, the other three positions are not fixed.
On November 3, all the Warriors came to Houston to challenge the mosaic team. After this game, they had to rush to Dallas to play the Mavericks overnight. The back-to-back in the Southwest District was still a bit challenging.
This game was broadcast live across the United States. At the same time, Zhang Heli and Sun Zhengping were also on the scene on CCTV. Zhang Heli also interviewed Wang Lin before the game.
"Coach Wang, do you have the confidence to win this game against mosaic?"
There are a large number of reporters behind Zhang Heli. Compared to mosaic coach Rudy Tom Janovic, there are very few reporters on his side. Although he is also the championship coach, in the eyes of these uncrowned kings, beating the Knicks and defeating the Bulls to win the championship are not of the same level as the same level.
"Anything can happen in the game. I have done everything I can do, and I will leave the rest to the players to perform. As for the results, sometimes it doesn't matter." Wang Lin said a very pretentious sentence and left the crowd.
The Madman and John Amic were not nervous at all. They were very excited, and the other Warriors competitors were not frustrated. Isn’t it enough to suppress these two guys in the next training match? Anyway, the coach encourages competition to take up the job.
"Welcome to the 95-96 season, the opening game of the NBA regular season. I am Mav Albert. The two sides of this game are the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Mosaics. As we all know, these two teams had a record of playing games in the second round of the playoffs last season, and the winner was the Golden State Warriors. I don't know if this game will be like this."
The person who was narrated with Mav Albert was Jim Gray, the most famous incident of this man was when James decided, and he was the witness.
The starting lineups of both sides came out soon, and the starting lineups on the Mosaic were Kenny Smith, Glider Drexler, Chaki Brown, Pittchil Carter and Hakeem Olajuwon.
The mosaic has changed its formation. Rudy Tom Janovic learned his lesson. He knew that Sam Kassel could not defend against the Beetles. Since that was the case, it would be better to let Kenny Smith, a tool guy, play.
The Warriors' lineup was as mentioned before, which was beyond Tomjanovic's expectations and beyond everyone's expectations.
"Coach Wang is crazy? He actually started two basic-paid players?" Jim Gray shouted directly in the commentary seat.
A fierce spark burst out from the eyes of the two double 90 superstars, Olajuwon and Drexler. In their imagination, Wang Lin set up this lineup, looking down on them and humiliating them. So after the game began, the two mosaic core players played very proactively.
However, their initiative does not mean that they can score. John Amic and Ostertag are both of the same type of meat shield. Their tonnage is good, and their style of play is fierce and very life-threatening. Wang Lin’s favorite is this kind of player, and he doesn’t have enough talent and attitude to make up for it.
Olajuwon felt the impact from John Amic. Compared to Lukronley, John Amic really dared to do anything to defend Olajuwon on the defensive end. Dameng was caught off guard because in addition to defending him, John Amic actually threw two balls in the three-second zone and both went in.
What the hell is this? It's unscientific. The fans of the entire Compaq Center were deeply confused. They played with the Warriors in the preseason. At that time, John Amic was just a coolie blue-collar worker and had no shooting ability at all. But if you didn't look at these two goals just now, you would think it was David Robinson.
Rudy Tom Janovic looked at Wang Lin, what was going on? Why can a rough guy like John Amic master master the shooting technique in a short time? Last season, Luklangli, Aaron Williams and others were the same. Could it be that Wang Lin really knows Eastern witchcraft? In addition to weakening the opponent's combat effectiveness, it can also improve the strength of his own players?
Olajuwon's energy was restrained by Amici. Drexler was confused when he faced the Madman with a basic starter, and they were both in a state of confrontation. The two of them were very similar in style in terms of playing style, their shooting was not very stable, and they were both first-class players in breakthroughs, but the Madman still put some pressure on the glider on the defensive end.
