After a hearty training match, Donovan chose to directly give those players who will face the Warriors tomorrow night a day off, so that they can fully prepare themselves to face the Warriors.
After all, for the Thunder, which does not have two major killers, Durant and Westbrook, it is still difficult to rely on Lu Yao alone to face the Warriors. Therefore, other players must also be prepared accordingly.
Lu Yao, on the other hand, did not choose to leave. He kept training with the assistant coach in the training hall until after eight o'clock in the evening. Then he took the car back to Louis Vuitton Manor, washed up and went to bed to prepare for tomorrow night. the match of.
Although the task of playing against the Warriors in a single core was a difficult task for Lu Yao, Lu Yao did not feel fear at all. Instead, he felt extremely excited.
The exciting feeling of facing a strong opponent can only be understood by top players. Only in this way can Lu Yao make full use of the strength he has suppressed for so many days.
After all, in these games, Lu Yao was still holding back and playing with all his strength. His strength was extremely terrifying, at least it was unimaginable by the current league.
And that night, the Warriors came to Oklahoma on a special plane chartered by the team. When they came to Oklahoma again, all the Warriors were nervous. Curry couldn't help rubbing his hands and looking at his side. Thompson said.
"We are about to face the single-core Thunder. It's really exciting."
Thompson, who was wearing a knitted hat and carrying luggage in one hand, couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Stephen, it's rare to see you looking nervous. Do you feel so nervous even if you only have Lu Lei?"
After all, Curry is clenching his fists now, with a nervous and excited look in his eyes. The temperature is relatively low in the early morning, and sweat is still dripping from his forehead. This shows what kind of thoughts Curry has for this game. A mood.
Curry laughed loudly and said: "Klay, you look down on me a little too much. I'm not that kind of person, but what you need to know is that what we value is not the Thunder team, but the Thunder." As long as this person is around, it will be extremely difficult for us to win."
"You must have experienced Lu's strength personally. After all, when we played against the Thunder, Lu taught us a hard lesson in the fourth quarter."
Thompson scratched his head and said: "That's right, we have to pay attention to it. After all, the Thunder are now a strong team with 19 consecutive wins. It depends on how well we can perform in tomorrow night's game."
At this moment, Cole, who was the last one to get off the plane, waved to the team members and said.
"Children, come and assemble, I have something to say."
Everyone gathered around Cole. Cole looked at the people around him, then nodded and said.
"Very good. You are in good spirits. It seems that you still have an optimistic spirit for the game against the Thunder tomorrow night."
"But what I want to tell you is that even if we face the Thunder, which only has land, we cannot relax our vigilance and must treat the game with all our strength."
Cole once again said the same thing as Curry said before. The two people's eyes were also very serious, which shows how much they attach importance to this game.
Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and at this moment, Dream Chasing Green couldn't help raising an objection.
"Coach, do we really need to take it so seriously? Without Russell and Kevin, the Thunder's combat effectiveness will drop by two levels. If we want to defeat them, wouldn't it be easy?"
Cole glanced directly at Green, and then explained: "Don't underestimate Lu. You should all know that the Thunder are able to take this step because of Lu Yao's joining."
"However, in the absence of Russell and Kevin, the Thunder can still be as strong as before, instead of falling two levels like Chasing Dreams. This is what you don't know."
Curry stood aside with his hands on his waist, listening quietly to Cole's speech without speaking.
Obviously, he is the only person in the team besides Cole who understands this truth, but he does not tell others, just to let them understand the importance of this truth.
"The core of this Thunder team has been Lu Yao from beginning to end. Lu Yao is the backbone of the Thunder's offense and defense. This is definitely not empty talk."
"His win shares are far greater than anyone else in the league, more win shares than Russell and Kevin combined."
"And Lu's scoring, shooting percentage and other statistics at critical moments are leading the league by leaps and bounds."
"While falling behind, Lu's hit rate reached a terrifying 80% or more."
"Although some people usually don't look down on these data, it is a good reference for us."
These data are the most powerful evidence of Lu Yao's strength, and they really exist.
Cole said this because he wanted everyone to realize how important Lu Yao is to this team.
The victory contribution value is more than Durant and Westbrook combined, which means that the Thunder without Durant and Westbrook will not have a great impact, because Lu Yao accounts for almost the majority of the team's scoring, and his efficiency It is also extremely high.
In terms of current offensive efficiency, true shooting percentage, and effective shooting percentage, Lu Yao also leads the entire league, which is enough to show how terrifying Lu Yao is.
Afterwards, Cole made another analysis of these data. The more the Warriors listened, the cold sweat started flowing down.
Horrible, really too terrifying.
Cole made a series of enumerations and compared them with various historical stars. When comparing Lu Yao's data with the peak of Jordan's regular season in 1988, Lu Yao turned out to be more powerful than Jordan.
It can be seen how terrifying Lu Yao's regular season performance was. Jordan in 1988 was able to fight one against five, single-handedly defeat the league's strong teams, and still win the game.
And Lu Yao is even more outrageous than Jordan in 1988. In other words, no matter when the Thunder is with him, it is a favorable situation and the chance of winning is very high.
After Cole finished his analysis, he looked at everyone calmly and said.
"I say this to make you take this game seriously and take Lu Lu seriously. They are definitely not beings to be despised, especially Lu!"
In this way, the pressure of the game came to the Warriors.
