The day before the finals started, the last day of May.

The 76ers trained the same as usual, and the Cavaliers were out, and now they need to focus on the Warriors.

After halfway through training, Wright asked all the players to put away their things and went to the video analysis room for a meeting.

Everyone knows that the theme of today's conference is the Warriors.

On the whiteboard used to draw tactics, one pendant after another representing the Warriors players.

Stephen Curry, John Wall, Klay Thompson, Drummond Green, Marc Gasol, Andre Drummond, Andre Iguodala, Barbosa, Spetz.

What kind of team can be called a super team?

There is no doubt that this Warriors is the first team that can be called a super team after the new century.

Some people will equate the Lakers in the OK era with them, but in fact, OK is just the poor version of the Showtime Lakers.

The two teams in history are both top ten, both inside and outside, one old and one young, but what about that? The Lakers in the OK era have at most third place to be the third leader.

What are the conditions for the Lakers?

In the early days, All-Star guard Nom Nixon shared the ball with the Magic, and Jamal Wilkes was the team's second offensive and ending point; in the middle, James Worthy came, and three scoring champions and MVP Michael McAdou in the 1970s helped Jabbar. At its peak, Magic, Worthy, Michael Cooper entered the peak, and other bench bandits such as Byron Scott, AC Green.

There is a king on the book, and the three and four leaders are all All-Stars, and there are one or two All-Stars sitting on the bench.

Only this specification, this depth, and this talent overflowing configuration can afford the name of a super team.

The series of reforms carried out by David Stern is to prevent the alliance from becoming a dominant one again.

But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.

In 2009 and 2010, the Warriors selected two super rookies, Curry and Wall, and then defeated Thompson in 2011, Drummond and Green in 2012. These people became dramatically successful. While they were both child labor contracts, they were joined by Iguodala. They later traded with the Lakers to win Mark Gasol, thus creating a super team that was completely comparable to Lake Kai in the 1980s.

With the current salary space, the Warriors will find it difficult to protect Marc Gasol this summer, but such an amazing lineup can appear once, which is a lucky 40 years for Golden State Ku and others.

"From the lineup, the Warriors don't have many blind spots. They can play any system and match all tactics."

"It can be fast or slow, it can run and bomb, it can fall down to fight positional battles, and it can play complex tactics."

“Their staffing reserves are very flexible.”

Wright said something that made others more determined and destroyed his mighty, but no team member responded.

In order to give players confidence, Wright specially brought out the Warriors' only defeat in the playoffs - Game 4 to the Thunder that broke out in the King's Blast.

In this battle, Thunder's King of Blasts is dazzling.

Westbrook broke through Wall's defense, scoring a triple-double of 38 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, and Durant scored 42 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists with a terrifying real shooting percentage of more than 70%.

From a bystander point of view, this is a feast for the eyes.

Due to the Thunder's victory, the performance of King Bomb Brothers ESPN's classic channel level made Curry's 10 three-pointers in a single game and his 40-point performance was forgotten.

In fact, the Thunder's king brother Curry scored a total of 120 points.

In Wright's view, this was a painful victory.

"The Thunder's strategy is very simple and straightforward. They adopt a defensive attitude towards John Wall's outside shooting. Russell puts him the greatest pressure on the offensive end. At the same time, they send a commissioner to lock Klay Thompson and do not deliberately use a small lineup to chase the Warriors' game rhythm. In the end, Stephen Curry lets play alone."

The Thunder's strategy worked, their wing athletic ability crushed the Warriors, and all the players rushed down 62 rebounds like beasts.

The Warriors' rebounds are exaggerated 34.

The Thunder's rebounding is almost twice as good as theirs!

Because the Warriors insisted on playing small balls, they did not let Gasol play, nor did Drummond play, they just played small balls, but were killed by the Thunder.

This is a game that is willing to accept the loss. The Warriors were in the game at that time, and they could afford to play and bet. The Thunder won the battle of dignity and was simply defeated by the Warriors' 41 system in the fifth game.

"They may only play 80% of their strength in the regular season," Wright said seriously. "But no matter how good the lineup is, whether it can play a decisive role in the end, it is the players themselves."

Wright played the highlights of the Thunder's game against the Warriors over and over again: "I don't think the Thunder showed a higher level in this game than the Cavaliers in Game 6 in the Eastern Conference Finals, nor do I think there is any game in the Western Conference Finals that can reach the level of Game 6 in the Eastern Conference Finals."

"Guys, do you want to win?"

Wright's voice fell.

He was asking everyone.

"If we don't want to win, we won't be that tough in the sixth game." Rondo seemed to be irritating.

His speech made the atmosphere in the locker room very awkward.

Soon, he broke the embarrassment by himself: "Of course, we want to win!"

"I got good news, the referee who was responsible for law enforcement in the finals, their referee named Nick Buchert. I believe you will be familiar with this face."

Although the 76ers' team members did not know the referee, they remembered this face.

He is the referee who directed the Game 6 Gladiator showdown in the Eastern Conference Finals.

If he is the referee in this year's finals, then at least one thing is certain, it is difficult for fans to see the body whistle, and the intensity of the game will depend on the ferocity of both parties.

"He will referee the four finals as the referee, which is good news for us."

Of course, if the league interferes with it, like the 2002 Western Conference Finals or the 2006 Finals, it would be another matter.

Every referee has his own style and bottom line. Butchett is a tough and old-fashioned referee who disdains his body.

The referee is like a director. The style of the competition is based on both parties, and how to control the intensity and rhythm of the competition is the referee's business.

Butchet's style is seen all over the world in the East Final Game 6.

Wright said that Buchett, as the referee, is good news for the 76ers. There are several reasons. His law enforcement style is not conducive to a team like the Warriors that is fast-moving whirlwind. On the books, the 76ers are far inferior to the Warriors. To win, you must base yourself on defense and use hand-to-hand combat to test the Warriors' will. Whether the whistle is relaxed is crucial. Finally, Buchett was born in Philadelphia. Although he moved at the age of 5, he has been in Pennsylvania.

Although competitive sports often hits his hometown team, he is the referee, and no one can tell whether he will feel compassion for his hometown team.

So Wright would emphasize that Buchett is a good thing for the 76ers as the referee.

However, the role these external factors can play is although extremely limited. In the end, 76 people need to seize the opportunity themselves.

Just like Game6.

"To defeat the Warriors, we have to play the intensity and momentum of the sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals in every game we have in the finals. Now I ask again, do you want to win?"

Wei Xia didn't expect Wright's chicken soup to be poured so early.

Everyone wants to express their opinions, but what can they do now? There is no competition at night.

Odom stepped forward to play the role of the veteran: "If you want to think about it, of course we are thinking about it. If we don't want it, why bother with the Cavaliers so hard? Each of us wants to fight desperately, but it doesn't make sense to show our determination now. Those bastards of the Warriors are not in front of us... But if you want to say you don't want it... the coach has said this to this point..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked "That's what I think" and nodded affectionately.

Wright also found that he was too hasty, so he ended the discussion and asked the players to complete the remaining training.

Wei Xia stayed until the end.

As usual, after Wright held a meeting, he would talk to Wei Xia about some inconvenient things that were said at the meeting.

"Felix, has your opinion of the Warriors changed?" Wright asked.

Wei Xia thought the Warriors were the enemy on the way to three consecutive championships. Hearing Wright’s question, he shook his head and said, “Their lineup is better, I always think so.”

“Yes, so we have to maintain strength and quality of offense and defense.”

“For this, we need to shorten the rotation.”

Shortening the rotation is the lesson that the Thunder used a series failure to teach the 76ers.

Shortening the rotation means being a rude main force, which can maintain the quality of offense and defense while avoiding exposure of more defects.

The Warriors' fast break is too fierce. Curry and Thompson both have the ability to chase three points. Sometimes they are a few points behind and are caught with a counterattack opportunity. Once two or three-pointers are thrown, the game is over.

"I'm mentally prepared."

He has made mental preparations of more than 46 minutes per game in this round of the series.

"I totally believe in you, Felix." Wright's eyes turned outside the room, downstairs, DeMarcus Cousins ​​was practicing three-pointers. "The performance of that big guy will determine the trend of the entire series."

Wei Xia looked at Cousins. The 76ers' inside weakness was fully exposed to the attack on the Cavaliers. Without Cousins, he would be the ATM at the slaughter of others.

But Cousins' personality and emotions, and his weakness in preventing pick-and-roll are also well-known.

"Are you worried about Boge?" Wei Xia asked.

At this time, Wei Xia noticed that Wright had a lot more white hair on his head.
Chapter completed!
