Chapter 562 You just need to focus on scoring
"Hi Stephen, good morning!"

"Stephen, we will pass the ball to you today, let's win the fourth scoring champion!"

At 4:16 am on April 8, Curry walked into the locker room of the Warriors training ground, and his teammates greeted him one after another.

Curry smiled and bumped fists with everyone, came to his cabinet, and said with some regret:
"Thank you, it's a pity that we are still two games away from the Thunder, otherwise, after winning this game today, we will be number one in the Western Conference."

"It's no big deal to be second in the West. Even if we give the Thunder home court advantage, they are not our opponents!" Green said carelessly.

"Drummond is right, we don't rely on the whistle to eat, and it doesn't matter if we play away first!" Chandler echoed.

"Yeah, Lei Ting is just our defeated opponent!"

"What the Thunder need to be most careful about is Tony's defense. Durant and Westbrook are nothing to be afraid of..."

Everyone booed one after another, and their words were all dismissive of Lei Ting.

At this time, Zhang Yu walked into the locker room and said with a smile:

"You guys are confident, as if you have reached the Western Conference finals, don't capsize in the gutter, you will be out if you don't touch the Thunder."

Green laughed and said:
"How is it possible! Under your leadership, boss, we will definitely be able to successfully defend the title!"

"That's right, boss, we're all healed up now, and we can't wait for the playoffs!" Parsons said.

Everyone also looked at Zhang Yu eagerly, gearing up, looking impatient.

The regular season is no longer challenging for the Warriors players who have already won the championship ring. Only the playoffs can excite them.

As long as they perform well on this much-anticipated stage, a big contract is at their fingertips. The players who are in the contract year already can't wait.

Only Antetokounmpo and Olynyk, two rookies who have not experienced the baptism of the playoffs, are a little nervous in their hearts, looking forward to the appearance of the playoffs.

They have heard their teammates talk about how it feels to play in the playoffs, the finals, and even win the championship countless times, but when they come to the gate of the playoffs in person, anticipation, nervousness and apprehension still arise from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Yu glanced around, noticed the different expressions of everyone, and smiled slightly:
"Okay, let's start training. The result of today's game will not affect our ranking with the Thunder. However, due to a well-known reason, the Thunder will never rest. This game will be very intense. Everyone must cheer up , for Stephen, we must win this game!"

"No problem, boss, just watch!"

"Stephen, shoot if you have the chance, don't worry about us!"

"Boss, I think it doesn't matter if we lose, as long as Stephen's score is higher than Durant..."

Everyone responded enthusiastically, and Zhang Yu waved his hand:
"This is not something you need to consider, just play according to tactics, don't worry about it!"

Only then did everyone stop, put their things into the cabinet, and file out from the dressing room.

"Stephen, wait a minute." Zhang Yu called Curry, and the two finally walked out of the locker room and walked side by side.

"What's the matter, boss?" Stephen asked.

Zhang Yu hesitated and said:

"Today you have unlimited firepower. You only need to be responsible for scoring and don't have to think about other things. You can keep your physical strength on the offensive end. In addition, don't fight too fiercely. Take care to protect yourself. The playoffs are about to begin. I don't want to see Until something unexpected happens.”

Upon hearing this, Curry glanced at Zhang Yu in surprise:
"Boss, what do you mean, it doesn't matter if I don't defend?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't defend, the whole team will give you the ball, you just need to focus on scoring."

"Isn't this a little bad?" Curry scratched his head and hesitated.

Zhang Yu smiled and said:

"You have carried the team on your shoulders for a season, and you can't indulge in a game? You don't have to think about winning and evaluating these things tonight, just brush up boldly! It is impossible for us to overtake the Thunder in terms of record, but as long as you Win the scoring champion, or beat Durant head-on, then in the MVP selection, it is not impossible to win."

"Thank you, boss, I won't waste this opportunity." Curry thanked.

"To be honest, Stephen, have you never thought about asking for privileges? You know, many stars don't defend, but you can too." Zhang Yu asked curiously.

"How could I think that way! Dell taught me from a young age that you have to defend well when you are on the court. It is wrong not to defend." Curry said in a natural tone, "And the privilege is also wrong. I am just a member of the team. No different than everyone else, how can I ask for privilege? As long as the team wins, I can do anything!"

"It's really useful to have a player father..." Zhang Yu sighed.

"How come, isn't this what every player should do?" Curry laughed.

"Haha, you are right. I hope you will maintain this mentality in the future, but tonight your first task is to score, and the second is to beat the Thunder. Be careful not to get injured."

"Don't worry, boss, I won't get injured. I've been healthy this season. How could I fall in the last game?" Curry said to himself.

"I hope so too. To be honest, I originally wanted you to rest today, but unfortunately you have not been able to decide the outcome with Durant..."

"Haha, Durant will definitely not give up so easily. He should have ranked second in scoring for three consecutive seasons, right? If I were him, I would not give up this opportunity, even if it was the last minute. , and also win this scoring champion!"

"You remember correctly, Stephen, Anthony ranked second in scoring last season."

"Okay, but that doesn't matter, anyway, I am the scoring leader, and this time is the same, I will never lose to Durant!"

……

Afterwards, the Warriors conducted targeted tactical training, and the afternoon was a rest time. Each player, according to his own habits, recharged his batteries and prepared for the game.

At 07:30 in the evening, the Oracle Center was brightly lit, and the auditorium was full of people. Players from the Warriors and Thunder came to the arena, and the game was about to begin.

The starters of the two teams have not changed. The Thunder are Westbrook, Tony Allen, Durant, Ibaka, and Gobert who have just returned from injury. The Warriors are Curry, Clay, Leonard, Green, and Chandler. Le, this is also the strongest lineup of both sides.

At the beginning of the playoffs, both the Warriors and the Thunder got rid of their injuries and entered the playoffs with the strongest posture. The excellent performance of team leaders Curry and Durant is crucial.

When their teammates suffered from injuries, they dedicated a great scoring performance and carried the team on their shoulders.

And today, with the help of their teammates, they will decide who is the scoring leader this season, adding a heavy weight to themselves in the MVP selection.
