Chapter 59 Against the Four-Star Warriors! Why are you disobedient, little Clay? (Please subscribe)

On the night of December 11, the Lakers arrived in San Francisco on a private plane.

On the way to the hotel.

At nine o'clock in the evening, there was still a lot of traffic, skyscrapers rising into the sky, and the world-famous scenic spot, the Golden Gate Bridge.

Los Angeles is already prosperous enough, but San Francisco takes its place. As one of the most important and developed cities in the United States, San Francisco is the financial center of the world.

Google, Apple, Ingtech, HP and many other leading global information technology companies have their headquarters here.

In short, it's just one sentence.

San Francisco has money.

San Francisco has money, which means the Warriors can make money.

In the NBA, television broadcast fees, tickets, advertising, and peripherals are the team's main sources of income.

According to data released by Forbes magazine in 2017, the Warriors ranked third in the league in 2016 with a profit of US$356 million.

It is worth mentioning that the second place is the Los Angeles Lakers, which earned 4.59 US dollars, and the first is the New York Knicks, which earned 540 million US dollars.

These two teams finished last in the Western Conference last season.

It can be seen that the relationship between the team's record and the team's profit and income is not too big.

Of course, in a small ball market like the Thunder, which only a few years ago made money by buying tickets, results have a huge impact.

The two most profitable teams in the league met, and Xiao Hua was naturally happy. It was broadcast live across the United States!

if you can.

Xiao Hua can't wait for the two teams to play more than 10 games per season.

That night.

Zheng Long lay awake at night in the hotel room.

For the first time, I fell into insomnia.

I didn't feel this way the night before against the Spurs. Maybe it was because the pressure from the Spurs was smaller.

But this warrior is about to face the battle.

It's really too strong.

Before Durant joined, under the leadership of Curry, the Warriors achieved a historical record of 73 wins in the regular season last season.

Now there is another Durant.

It's like the 73-win Warriors used a single small forward who was able to ignore all tactics and stand up when the Warriors' offense stalled.

The splash couldn't be played, so Durant pulled out another single.

How to fight this?

And this Warriors did win two consecutive championships in the 2016-17 and 2017-2018 seasons with an almost sweep.

In the end, what prevented this Warriors team from building a dynasty was none other than injuries.

With all members in good health, the Warriors can be said to be invincible.

This can be seen from the fact that they have only lost 1 game in 16 games since the beginning of this season and have now won 15 consecutive games.

How terrifying.

But.

Zheng Long didn't want to lose even more.

Zheng Long did not continue to force himself to sleep, but went to the bathroom to take a shower. When the warm water poured down his head, Zheng Long felt a little relaxed.

Ding dong——

A pop-up window appeared on his phone, and Zheng Long discovered that someone was still posting messages in the team group chat at this point.

It's Jokic.

#COLA神: I drank too much Coke and was so bloated that I couldn’t sleep.

Zheng Long smiled slightly, this kid must have suffered from insomnia just like himself.

#texa好bro: Deserve it.

#DukeNo. 1 Handsome: Aren’t you asleep yet?

#MyfatherisnotNance:?

#Lakers coach Walton: Everyone is crazy? There is training tomorrow morning, and it’s 1 o’clock in the morning and you’re still up!

Zheng Long:.

Unexpectedly, the whole team is still awake.

My mood instantly improved a lot, and I wasn't the only one who was increasingly troubled by insomnia.

#Lakers coach Walton: Don’t you want to sleep? How about we go play a training game now.

#COLA神: I suddenly feel sleepy, good night, brothers.

#DukeNo. 1 Coach:+1

The team chat that had been heated for a while suddenly subsided. Zheng Long shook his head helplessly and lay back on the bed.

I was so dazed that I didn't know what time I fell asleep.

When the alarm clock rang the next day, Zheng Long dragged his tired body to the bus waiting at the door of the hotel.

After a while, the players all arrived.

The dark circles under Jokic's eyes were particularly obvious, which startled Zheng Long, "Little fat man, you didn't fall asleep all night, did you?"

"How could it be? I slept for two hours."

"."

Zheng Long was worried about whether Jokic would die suddenly.

Wharton is more worried.

During morning training, the players yawned repeatedly and were listless.

But Walton didn't say anything. He understood the players' state and mood.

Although this group of boys has won five consecutive games after losing to the Spurs, facing a behemoth like the Warriors, it is normal for the players to be nervous and abnormal for the first time.

The thorn in the loss to the Spurs is still stuck in the players' flesh.

Even Walton was prepared to be taken away by the Warriors in three quarters today.

At this time, the Warriors practice arena.

Unlike the Lakers players who were nervous, the Warriors players seemed extremely relaxed.

Under the command of Cole, daily tactical training is being carried out.

Cole kept frowning because he clearly felt that the players were a little too relaxed.

"Get serious guys!"

"Today we have to face the Lakers, who have only lost one game since the start of the season."

“And today it’s live broadcast across the United States!”

Regarding Cole's words, Draymond Green responded with a smile: "Coach Cole, they should be nervous, no one can beat us now."

Green's thoughts obviously represent the thoughts of most Warriors players.

The players were still making tactical moves in a leisurely and playful manner.

Klay Thompson even showed off a midfield three-pointer.

Whoosh!

A steady hit.

Thompson excitedly raised his arms and shouted at Cole: "Did you see it, coach?! I feel hot today! I will end the game!"

Cole shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.

Maybe, I am really too nervous?

Although the Lakers achieved a record of 14 wins and 1 loss.

But how can they beat the current Warriors?

Since Durant came.

Winning has become easier.

Moreover, the opponent's head coach is still his former assistant, Luke Walton. How much ink Walton has in his belly, Cole knows even better than the Lakers management.

"Zhuang Dianertai!"

"Zhuang Dianertai!"

"Welcome to watch the NBA regular season Warriors home game against the Lakers brought to you today!"

"The game is about to begin."

"The entrance ceremony for the home players is now underway!"

Barrage.
