This Forward is Not Serious - Vol 2 Chapter 594
The Lakers are still grinding, and the Warriors are now four games ahead of them in the West.
Although the starlight is weaker than last season, the atmosphere of the Warriors team is unusually peaceful.
They are interpreting one thing with practical actions: tacit understanding and team atmosphere are more effective than simply stacking talents.
Or you can also understand that the Warriors used every cell in their bodies to prove that…they could be better off without James.
After all, James could only be an “outsider”, and he was disgusted when he left.
This performance also makes the situation in the West very interesting, because with the strength of the two teams, it is likely to meet in the Western Conference playoffs, or the Western Conference finals. Of course, in addition to this, the current strength also shows that it is not the Lakers who have the most strength to challenge the Nets, but the Warriors.
So this Christmas battle, the game is no less interesting than the season opener.
All eyes are on, eyes are gathered.
On the evening of the 25th, the Christmas battle between the Nets and the Warriors officially kicked off at Oracle Arena.
The process and results of this game are surprising.
The Warriors showed their tacit understanding from the start, and they have also demonstrated with their actions why they have played so well this season.
It’s not that Hayward is better than James, and it’s not that Hayward is a better fit for the Warriors than James is in many people’s minds, but… the Warriors have re-established Curry’s core tactical position.
This may sound a little awkward at first, but it’s exactly what it is when you think about it.
The Warriors’ status battle between James and Green last season was, to some extent, a conflict between James’ own system and the original Warriors system.
Green has his own considerations in mind, as well as factors in maintaining Curry’s team status.
Hayward is not James, he doesn’t have his own system, and he doesn’t have the ability to threaten Curry’s tactical position, so he can integrate well.
And Curry also re-established his tactical core position and replayed his previous excellent performance.
However, even so, the Nets still suppressed the Warriors in the beginning.
Lin Ying didn’t feel bad tonight, and Durant and Jokic’s opening performances were all normal.
Three nuclear weapons were thrown together.
This is really not because our side is weak, but the enemy really has Gundam!
The Warriors played hard, but at halftime the Nets had pulled the lead to 15+.
Although everyone can see that this may be the best team to play against the Nets this season, the Nets’ performance in encountering strength and strength is really disappointing.
However, just when everyone thought that this game would be the same as in the past, when the Nets won it smoothly, in the second half, the situation on the court changed.
The “Yongsan Crazy”, which has not been seen for a long time, was played in the third quarter!
Curry’s difficult and increasingly crazy three-pointers instantly pulled fans back to the season when the Warriors won the championship three years ago.
It’s not everyone’s youth, but it’s definitely some.
Or at least, most of the live Warriors fans.
The emotions of the fans at Oracle Arena reached an unprecedented state, and the shouts were deafening and resounding through the sky like the screams of the battlefield.
The Warriors also fought more and more bravely with this level of shouting, quickly tying, overtaking, and then pulling the score.
The Nets scored not without, but more of their points were concentrated within the three-point line, and the Warriors defense also targeted three-pointers.
The old adage that three points is one more than two points was fully implemented in this game.
Moreover, the players of the Warriors were indeed a little excited. In addition to Curry, Thompson was also shining brightly, Green also hit the three-point line in a row, and Hayward all followed the three-point line.
This is really three points like rain, shooting people numb.
In the end, the Warriors threw 20 3-pointers in the second half alone, breaking the NBA team’s half-court 3-point percentage.
Under the Warriors’ offensive, even if Lin Ying started the “Zone” in the last quarter, he felt like he was going up against the current in the flood.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nets 132-121.
The two teams scored a total of 253 points, and the game was nothing short of exciting.
After the game, Green also bowed his fists with both hands, his blue veins burst into the sky and roared, then turned around and hit Curry hard, causing a pain in Curry’s chest.
But looking at him, he was really excited.
That’s not just beating the Nets, it’s proving to everyone that for the Warriors, he’s more useful than James!
After the game, the mentality of the Nets players was not bad.
While losing certainly isn’t good morale, there’s no guarantee you’ll win all the time, and the Warriors really played perfectly tonight.
It was a night for the Warriors.
Respecting the opponent and acknowledging the performance of the opponent is also a kind of respect for oneself.
The Christmas battle ended in a lot of attention, and the Warriors also became the focus of fans’ attention after the game.
Because they led the small-ball era before, and because they are the only team in the league to beat the Nets now.
Of course, the scarier thing is that when everyone thought that the Warriors broke the Nets’ unbeaten gold and the Nets’ record was about to fluctuate, the subsequent games proved that they thought too much.
Most fans weren’t surprised to learn that the Nets, after losing a game, then resumed their familiar winning streak.
Because the game the Warriors won wasn’t the Nets, or something went wrong, it was just that they played too well.
Time flies, white horses pass by.
The time has come to the end of January.
At this time, the pattern of the east and west has gradually become clear.
On the East side, the Nets have only lost three games in the middle of the season. Judging from that posture, they really want to break their previous record of 74 wins.
After the Nets, there is a gap, and after that is the Raptors.
The Raptors have really improved a lot this season, and if it weren’t for the Nets, they really have a good chance of making a big splash in the East.
After the Raptors, the Hornets have performed well this season, even better than last season.
But either the Raptors or the Hornets, this is their best season, but it should be their worst.
Just like Barkley and Karl Malone, it was unfortunate to meet Jordan at his peak.
In the West, the Warriors are still ranked first, but the victory over the Lakers has been narrowed to one game.
It’s not that their record has fluctuated greatly, but the Lakers have begun to gradually get on the right track after the run-in, and have also started a winning streak.
The hard power of the Big Three of the Lakers is there, and it is unrealistic to expect them to play badly.
These are actually expected.
After the offseason operation, the three-legged situation has begun to appear this season.
Maybe at this moment, some fans will think of the article written by the Chinese fan before.
American Uncle James, the Lakers are the State of Shu, and the Warriors have a heritage, like Wu State, the Nets are obviously stronger than the two teams, and can be compared to the State of Wei.
So this wave is the NBA version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Unexpectedly, the Spurs went as badly as they did in history.
Leonard’s injuries have come and gone, and there have been disagreements with the front office over his treatment.
During this process, Leonard’s uncle, Popovich, also made his debut.
The Spurs’ lineup is close to history, and it seems to herald such a development.
Also because of Leonard’s injury, the Spurs’ record was much worse than expected, and they have basically withdrawn from the championship.
So after the Warriors and the Lakers, the only threat to them in the West is the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves’ performance this season is also commendable, and Harden’s scoring explosiveness in the regular season is still very strong.
The Pelicans did not recover as expected due to Cousins’ injury, and their performance was much worse than expected.
This is the basic situation of the season, but at this time, fans are not only concerned about the situation, but also about this year’s All-Star vote.
Because this year Kobe Bryant can enter the All-Star Game is very worthy of attention.
Bryant has averaged 13.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game so far this season, all of which are the lowest since his rookie season.
But his shooting percentage remained at around 49%, still a career high.
This shows that his data is more because of the relationship between team positioning and age, and not directly related to his state.
Then the All-Star Game is not all about data, but also about popularity.
Kobe Bryant was already very popular, and he made a lot of gimmicks in his comeback in the Nets. It is difficult for fans not to vote for him.
However, because the All-Star Game has been restructured last year, whether Kobe can be selected for the All-Star Game is actually more crucial to player voting.
Because feelings return to feelings, but this thing cannot be eaten as food.
Many players will definitely consider the situation of other competitors when selecting candidates, after all, they must also show respect to others.
And considering the relationship between Kobe’s stats and age, coaches have little chance of picking him off the bench.
So the suspense of whether Kobe can be selected is actually still very big.
Finally, the answers to the doubts in the fans’ hearts were also revealed.
Kobe Bryant was selected as an All-Star starting guard!
When this result came out, Kobe also seemed a little excited.
He directly greeted everyone in the locker room to go to the nightclub.
And on the way there, Kobe made a special call to Jordan.
“I did it.”
Kobe never said that he wanted to be the second Jordan, and he always regarded defeating Jordan as his goal.
He’s been doing that all the time, including this comeback, and he’s been secretly fighting Jordan.
Jordan was playing his final season at 39, and he happens to be 39 now.
Jordan was an All-Star starter in his final season, and he’s an All-Star starter in his final season now.
Moreover, the difference is that Carter was forced to give up Jordan’s starting position, but he won it by himself.
So, he did better than Jordan this time.
Lin Ying was listening right next to him, and he could hear the pride in Kobe’s tone.
But the picture in front of me is very interesting, because this may be the portrayal of Kobe’s life.
Don’t want to be Jordan, respect Jordan, try to surpass Jordan.
It’s just that when Lin Ying was sighing, Carter behind him was watching Lin Ying silently.
When you are looking at the scenery, it may also be the scenery in the eyes of others.
In the eyes of Uncle Carter, Lin Ying is not doing these things.
In basketball, Jordan is an eternal topic.
Just to be honest, Lin Ying may be the one who has a better chance to catch up with Jordan.
Because of him, he is really on the way to catch up.
…
The All-Star Game is approaching, and the enthusiasm of the fans is once again ignited.
Because this year’s All-Star Game is going to be really special.
There are two special places, one is the venue of this year’s All-Star Game, and after a lapse of many years, it returned to Los Angeles and fell to the Staples Center.
Some people will say, what’s so special about this?
Staples Center, the All-Star starter Kobe Bryant, the real final season, is there anything more special or memorable?
Another special thing is that this year’s All-Star Game has been restructured again as in history.
And this restructuring is also a change in history that has been well received by fans.
This year’s All-Star Game will no longer compete between the East and the West as in previous years, but will use the method of the East and West divisions to conduct live broadcast selection.
This rule is very simple. The two captains toss the silver coins first, and the one who flips the head first starts to select the candidate.
In addition to their own starters, there are 8 people left, and one person chooses four.
Then when it came time to pick a bench, someone else started picking first.
Through this alternate selection method, the final 22 All-Star players are allocated to the two teams.
There will be a very interesting thing here, just like the draft, there will be a first pick and a penultimate pick.
Whoever is selected first, to a large extent, represents which of these superstars the captain cares about the most.
And the last to be selected, especially the last of the two teams to be selected, is definitely the most embarrassing. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Because he can’t even be called the last one chosen, but should be called the last one left.
The captain of the team he went to last didn’t want to draft him, but that there was no one else to pick.
So this show will be as explosive as it has been in history.
Then, one of the more exciting things this year is the selection of captains on both sides.
There is no suspense on the east side. Lin Ying, as the first person in the alliance, is also the card of the current alliance. It is simply unreasonable to be the captain.
But interesting is the west side.
Originally, many people thought that James must be the best choice. After all, he and Lin Ying have been against each other for so many seasons, and they have been compared.
But in the end, the captain of the West came out, but it was a surprise, because the captain of the West was Curry.
Just when you thought the East-West selection was very interesting, the more interesting thing happened so early.
