Chapter 558

For the Warriors, the period from the Christmas game to the start of the All-Star Game was very gloomy.

Starting from Leonard, the Warriors began to have injuries one after another, from the starter to the bench, and then from the bench to the starter. Except for rookies such as Antetokounmpo and Olynyk, they have participated in the finals in the past two seasons Warriors players have all suffered major or minor injuries, and the Warriors' lineup has never been neat.

First, "Iron Man" Danny Green sprained his right shoulder in the game against the Eagles on January 1 and will be absent for 3-2 weeks. Zhang Yu can only transfer Bazemore into the rotation lineup as the second substitute. No. bit.

Then Klay suffered a muscle strain in his right leg in the game against the Nuggets on January 1 and will be absent for 15-3 weeks.

This is the first injury since he entered the league, and according to Schwartz's judgment, it was caused by fatigue.

After Klay was injured, the Warriors' front line was stretched.

In the next game against the Thunder, Zhang Yu set up a starting lineup consisting of Curry, Bazemore, Parsons, Green, and Chandler. Middleton could only be a cameo on the second bench. Deto and Kunbo topped the position of the backup small forward.

Without Clay and Leonard, the Warriors' offense relied more on Curry. His playing time soared to 37.3 minutes per game, a career high.

Fortunately, Leonard returned from injury in the game against the Pelicans on January 1, helping Curry share some pressure.

But at this moment, Parsons was injured again.

On January 1, the Warriors played against the Timberwolves at home. At 24 minutes and 7 seconds into the second quarter, Parsons broke through to the inside of the Timberwolves with the ball, flew for a dunk, stepped on Brewer's foot when he landed, and accidentally sprained the injured his ankle and immediately withdrew from the game.

After the inspection after the game, he will be absent for 3-4 weeks.

The house leak coincided with continuous rain. On January 1, when the Warriors played against the Trail Blazers at home, Yi Jianlian slightly tore the medial collateral ligament of his right knee and will be absent for at least a month. Without a comeback, the Warriors' front line suddenly became unavailable.

The effect of Bazemore as the starting second position was not good. Zhang Yu instead let Middleton partner Curry start. Antetokounmpo continued to serve as a substitute at small forward. Got a chance to play.

The continuous wave of injuries has dealt a big blow to the Warriors.

The two months before the All-Star Weekend were originally a good opportunity for the Warriors to improve their rankings, but there were constant injuries, which made the Warriors' lineup extremely incomplete. Players came in and out of the rotation lineup, and their tactics were unstable. , It means winning or losing, and the record fluctuates.

In nearly two months, the Warriors' winning rate has just reached 60%. This is because Zhang Yu increased Curry's playing time, so that the Warriors can win more and lose less, otherwise the Warriors would not be able to win so many games.

When teammates suffer from injuries, Curry must stand up, and only he can stand up.

从12月31日到2月12日，勇士一共打了20场比赛，取得了12胜8负的战绩，库里场均出战36.7分钟，可以砍下30.4分7.3助攻5.2篮板2.2抢断的全面数据，三项命中率分别为48.5%、43.6%、91.2%，超高产超高效。

It is also under the leadership of Curry that the Warriors who are short of major generals can maintain the ranks of the top four in the Western Conference, clinging to the Thunder, Clippers and Rockets in front of them. Two hopes.

He is the Warriors' Dinghaishenzhen. When other Warriors players were in poor condition due to injuries, he supported the Warriors' record with his own strength.

Curry's wonderful performance with such personal heroism also made him the champion of the All-Star voting, and was elected as the top voter of the 153 New Orleans All-Star Game with more than 2014 million votes.

He is also the only Warriors player selected for the All-Star Game. Clay originally ranked third in the backcourt of the Western Conference in the first round of voting and had a chance to be selected for the All-Star Game. The All-Stars regretted passing by.

The Warriors' other players are not popular enough to be selected for the starting lineup, and there is a certain distance between the strength and the substitute, and they have not been able to enter the All-Star list.

The rest of the Western Conference All-Star starters are Kobe, Durant, Griffin, and Howard.

Originally, Love was supposed to be selected as the All-Star starter, but Howard got the honor of Yi Jianlian, won the support of Huaxia fans, and was far ahead in the center's vote, and finally succeeded in being selected as the starter.

In the Eastern Conference, James lost his position as the top voter. The Bulls currently rank first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 40 wins and 13 losses.

James only received more than 136 million votes, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. The rest of the Eastern Conference All-Star starters were Irving, Anthony and Paul George.

Originally, Wade would be selected as the All-Star starter, but the Heat lost a lot of popularity in the finals three times in a row. Wade's performance this season has also declined further. Voted to enter the Eastern Conference All-Star reserve list.

Like the Warriors, the Heat's record this season is not as good as before, but the Warriors are due to a wave of injuries, and the Heat are more due to problems in the locker room.

The three giants seem to be in harmony with each other, and there is a problem with the cooperation on the court. The whole team is listless and loses the spirit of being better than me. After halfway through the season, they only achieved a record of 31 wins and 21 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

James' data is still stable, averaging 27.1 points, 6.9 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, but Wade and Bosh's performance has declined.

Wade has been unable to maintain 20+ points, averaging only 19.3 points per game, and Bosh averaged only 15.5 points per game, and he is about to be reduced to a role player.

The Heat are stumbling forward in a sluggish morale, and fewer and fewer people regard them as championship contenders. The outside world generally believes that if no miracle happens, this will be the last year of the Heat's Big Three.

While the Heat declined, emerging forces in the East rose one after another.

The Pacers ranked second in the Eastern Conference. Paul George grew rapidly, averaging 22.5 points per game, and entered the ranks of top strikers. The Pacers finally had their own superstar.

The Raptors suddenly emerged and rose to third place in the East. The backcourt combination of Lowry and DeRozan was full of vitality. Rudy Gay, who had no statistics, was sent away. The Raptors lost a scorer, but their record improved significantly.

In the West, the Thunder, Clippers, and Rockets still rank among the top three. The dominance of the Warriors and Heat seems to have become a thing of the past, and the league has entered a new era.

In this restless atmosphere, New Orleans fans ushered in the 2014 All-Star Weekend.

　Make up two thousand first, and make up the rest tomorrow.
