Chapter 595 You also believe what you told the reporter?
Stevens called a short timeout, but for Bulls fans, the timeout was extremely long.

"Di-"

Finally, with a whistle, the timeout ended, and the Bulls fans all looked at the Bulls bench.

Rose, Dunleavy, Butler, Gasol, Noah... well, still no substitutions.

But this is normal, this is already our strongest lineup, how can we change it?

It is also good to be able to adjust tactics, as long as the situation can be reversed, nothing else matters.

The Bulls fans prayed in their hearts, but soon, they discovered that their prayers didn't seem to be of any use...

After returning from the timeout, the Bulls' offense has indeed improved, but it does not rely on the players' rise up, but more on the care of the referees.

Butler and Gasol got consecutive free throw opportunities, and the Bulls quickly entered the Bonus state. As long as the Warriors fouled, Bulls players could go to the free throw line. Rose feels warmer.

But the Bulls still couldn't prevent the Warriors' offense.

But the Rockets are as stable as dogs, and they lose as soon as they meet the Warriors. Harden scored 32 points and 29 points in the two games respectively, both of which were higher than Curry's 24 points and 27 points, but he could only score by himself. Unable to drive teammates, the Rockets' role players were restricted to death, and fell behind by a large score early on, which was in great contrast to Harden's high-scoring performance.

Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Stevens no longer made unnecessary struggles, replaced the starter, and conceded the loss. Zhang Yu also withdrew, and the game entered garbage time.

When James was still in the Heat before, even if the Warriors won two consecutive championships, people subconsciously believed that the Big Three of the Heat were stronger, but they did not exert their full strength. The Warriors were lucky to win the championship. If they went all out, the Warriors would not Is the opponent of the Heat.

Stevens adjusted his defensive strategy again. When defending the pick-and-roll, he made a strong delay to Curry. He would rather let Green deal with four-on-three than give Curry a chance to shoot.

"Bull hot chicken! Ross is trash! You can't even beat the warriors. Winning the championship depends on luck. Don't even think about winning the championship in the future!"

Only Middleton hit an emergency stop jumper against Holiday's defense, and Dinwiddie made a three-pointer through the screen, and the suspense of the game could be maintained to the end.

However, the record of the Rockets is not bad at all. Harden continues to evolve this season, averaging 27+7+6 per game, which is 2 points more than last season. His organizational ability is also continuously improving, and he is constantly moving closer to the big core of holding the ball. , led the Rockets to a record of 15 wins and 5 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference and third in the league.

The Cavaliers came out of the quagmire with a 17% winning rate at the beginning of the season and achieved a record of 10 wins and [-] losses, but they can only rank third in the Eastern Conference. After the Bulls and Eagles, the Big Three still need to continue to work together.

Danny Green is enough to play the role of the starting second position on any team, and his three-pointers and defense are top-notch.

The Warriors rank first in the league, and their record is far ahead of other teams. Since Curry ascended to the top of the MVP list in the first week, he has never fallen again. In the bag, in the major media's predictions for mvp, Curry is No.12 without any suspense.

After the much-anticipated focus battle ended, the Warriors fans, who were fiercely confronting the Anti-Yong coalition forces on the Internet, immediately gained the upper hand and began to counterattack:

The two sides argued fiercely. Although Zhan Mi's remarks were all sophistry, on the Internet, such illogical sophistry was extremely useful.

12月8日，勇士客场以114:95轻取森林狼，豪取20连胜，库里三节打卡，轻松砍下25分6助攻4篮板3抢断。

As soon as Gasol got the ball, the Warriors flanked him, didn't give him a chance, and let others handle the ball.

In contrast, Butler's defense is crucial, and Gasol is cumbersome to face the Warriors' five small lineups. Stevens finally chose to let Gasol lead the rotation.

On December 12, the Warriors, who rested for two days, challenged the Mavericks away.

Not only Curry, but other Warriors players also felt tired, so they slackened in the first half. If it wasn't for Zhang Yu's high prestige in the Warriors and the Thunder's fury at halftime, it would be difficult for them to regain urgency in the second half.

After the Bulls won the championship, Rose always had the upper hand when discussing the historical status of Rose and James. After all, Rose succeeded in revenge against James last year.

But the transition is coming soon. The Bulls' weak bench in front of the Warriors' terrifying lineup depth is an out-and-out ghost story for Bulls fans.

"Then I'll be waiting to compete with you in the finals. This time, I have to convince you!"

It made for an ugly game, with neutral fans lethargic and Bulls fans distraught, but the effect was dramatic.

The Bulls fans who were used as gunmen by the coalition before the game and scolded by the coalition after the game certainly quit:

Zhang Yu noticed Curry's state. The Warriors' 22-game winning streak was inseparable from Curry's outstanding performance in every game. Some are exhausted physically and mentally.

With his own strength, he supported the Pelicans' offense. In addition, Holiday had 16 points, Evans had 15 points, and none of the others scored in double figures.

But at this time, how could Zhang Yu give Stevens such a chance?
Green still stayed on the court with 4 fouls, Antetokounmpo made 3 fouls, Leonard made 3 fouls, and Zhang Yu didn't make any substitutions. He just wanted to use the dead five to keep the lead he had finally established in the third quarter.

However, in the next game, Curry will definitely not clock in three quarters, and he has a good chance to consolidate his ranking as the scoring leader.

But his scoring in the third quarter mainly relied on free throws, and his scoring in sports games in the second half was far worse than in the first half. At the critical moment when the Bulls needed to chase points, he did not stand up.

It stands to reason that people should fully realize the gap between Curry and James, and treat James as an ordinary superstar, just like Nash, who also won two consecutive MVPs.

The Pelicans lack shooters, the offensive space is congested, Asik guards the penalty area, and together with Antetokounmpo, the Warriors' inside defense is solid.

Hinrich can sort out the ball, but his shot is not accurate, the ball is in his hands, the Bulls can only reorganize the offense.

……

Stevens doesn't know the answer yet, but luckily he still has two months to find out.

However, Curry learned the lesson of last season's injury and doesn't take personal awards such as scoring champions to heart.

"Di-"

At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 104:92, with the Warriors leading by 12 points.

But with James' departure, people's superstition about the Big Three was shattered, or in other words, the superstition about James was shattered.

But Stevens had no choice. Zhang Yu dared to play the third quarter with five dead players. He didn't have the confidence. Among Rose, Butler, and Gasol, one of them had to bring a substitute.

……

The Bulls tried hard to chase points. Rose, who had rested for 4 minutes, was on the court again. Butler was not soft at critical moments, and the Bulls' offense began to recover.

"Coach Z has finally realized his conscience. How can a team win all the time? At least let us win one game. There will be back and forth!"

The Warriors' three major offensive points are at a disadvantage overall, but their overall performance is better than that of the Bulls.

Zhang Yu secretly smiled, and patted Wiggins:
"Go back to the locker room, rest well tonight, and fly to Minnesota tomorrow."

Middleton's singles are also very efficient, Snell's defense is too soft, and there is little interference with Middleton's mid-range shot.

It is also from this season that people's deep-rooted concepts have changed.

"You don't have to worry about this. The team that won the championship is retained, and Paul is added. If you can't even make it to the finals, then I don't have to coach the Bulls."

Stevens stood where he was, looking at Zhang Yu's back, but his heart was agitated by his last words.

As soon as Zhang Yu said this, there was an uproar on the Internet.

It's no wonder that people have lost patience with James. He has been in the league for 12 years and has never won a championship. He only has four very embarrassing runners-up.

"Our score in the third quarter was very difficult. That was the biggest turning point today. I didn't play as I should. I must take responsibility for the failure..."

"Yongmi didn't say anything when she won the ball. What do you call it here? It's the first time I see the non-explosive zone for winning. If no one comes to the explosive zone, please show some face!"

Leonard, who walked past the two, stopped and shrugged:

The resolute resistance attitude of the Warriors coaching staff made the referee restrained a little and did not dare to be too blatant. The referees did not call the fouls on Green, Antetokounmpo, and Leonard that could be blown or not.

Pelicans fans burst into tears:

"The champion you chose doesn't look very good."

For most of the game, the scores of both sides were very anxious. The Warriors’ substitutes cherished this hard-won performance opportunity very much. They fought aggressively and were full of energy. Can open the score.

"Don't worry, I won't underestimate the Cavaliers. It's not that I didn't miss the finals between you and the Heat, but with Paul here, the Cavaliers can't beat us."

Antetokounmpo used him to practice hard for a summer to break through the face frame, and he attacked three times in a row, all of which were defended by thick eyebrows.

This is a focus battle that is not inferior to the Warriors vs. Bulls. James meets Curry again. This is enough. They are destined to be the protagonists of the Christmas game. Rose, Kobe, Westbrook, Harden, Paul, Superstars such as Wade and Duncan can only serve as a foil.

To make matters worse, the referee also stopped.

库里全场17投9中，三分球11中5，罚球4中4，砍下27分7助攻8篮板1抢断3失误，除了篮板，都不如罗斯。

"The next time we will play in the Bay Area, you won't even have the home court advantage. What are you going to use to fight me?"

Zhang Yu smiled and hugged Stevens again, then turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

This is largely due to the Warriors' smooth passing and cutting system. The team has blossomed more and fought with the Pelicans to a critical moment, but there is a lack of stars who can make the final decision. Man can stand up to match his score and finally lose this game.

Dinwiddie handled the ball very calmly and organized the Warriors' offense in an orderly manner.

"He has great potential and will play out in the future."

Maybe it was a conscience discovery, maybe it was a guilty conscience, the referee's whistleblowing returned to the standard of checking, the Bulls lacked a big help, and it was even more difficult to score.

"You are lucky today, next time, I will definitely win."

On December 12, the Warriors returned home to face the Rockets from afar.

Gibson didn't shoot, didn't hold the ball, Green could let him go, participated in the defense, strangled Rose, and the Bulls' offense was completely contained.

That is, in these 2 minutes, the Bulls narrowed the point difference to 7 points by relying on free throws, and was pulled back to 12 points.

格林拿到12分11助攻10篮板2抢断2封盖的经济适用型三双，阿德托昆博14分8篮板1助攻1抢断1封盖制霸内线，丁威迪10分4助攻、米德尔顿9分2篮板1助攻、奥利尼克8分6篮板3助攻1封盖，在第四节帮助勇士奠定了胜势。

However, the circumstances of the two protagonists are quite different.

"See? Kawhi's mid-range shooting percentage this season is 47.8%. This is a very good efficiency, but when he was crazy about hitting the iron, you still want to reach the sky? Practice hard!" Zhang Yu said.

"Okay, Coach Z is very interesting, I will definitely win Curry's vote in the All-Star!"

In the auditorium, the Bulls fans were also worried. The 12-point difference seemed not much, but the Bulls were completely at a disadvantage on the scene. Relying on the referee's biased calls, they barely maintained a balance with the Warriors.

He has two mvp, but without the mvp of the championship, the gold content is not so high.

This is the first time the two teams have played against each other this season. Like last season, the Mavericks are still hovering on the edge of the playoffs, not very competitive, but with a star like Nowitzki, it is a tough nut to crack.

Zhang Yu guessed that Stevens would definitely replace Gasol, and Gasol's physical fitness could not continue to fight in the fourth quarter, so he no longer used the fifth player and used Asik to protect the frame.

Facing the remnant Rockets again, the Warriors easily won 106:91. Jeremy Lin was in a mediocre state, and Harden was struggling alone. After the first three quarters, the Warriors' lead came to 21 points.

The outside world regards the Warriors as the biggest favorite in the championship, ahead of the defending champion Bulls. After the failure of the Heat, people are no longer superstitious about the Big Three, and even have doubts about whether the Cavaliers can break out of the Eastern Conference. Said to compete for the championship.

"It's comfortable, who said 'the defending champion hangs the warrior', come out and take a few steps, don't pretend to be sick!"

In the Rockets game against the Celtics on November 11, Howard injured his right knee with severe swelling. He missed the game against the Warriors five days later and only ushered in a comeback in a game against the Timberwolves.

In the last quarter, the score was very tense, and the two teams fell into a hard fight. The Warriors could defend the Mavericks, but the Mavericks couldn't defend the Warriors, but the Warriors couldn't score.

"Andrew, don't be discouraged. It's nothing to miss a few mid-range shots... Kawhi, tell Andrew how many mid-range shots you missed."

On December 12, the Warriors will travel to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers away.

"Excel fans are here again. Let's watch the game. How bad is James' defense last season? The key is to look at Excel. James is not as good as Curry!"

"Hmph, anyway, I won't admit defeat. The regular season doesn't count. If you have the ability, you'll see it in the playoffs."

During the intermission, Zhang Yu was furious in the locker room, called everyone one by one, scolded everyone, and everyone finally woke up in the second half.

This is not Zhang Yu's eccentricity. Antetokounmpo has polished his movement and control skills in the summer and has a certain foundation. What is needed is to continuously hone his skills and gain experience in the game. Wiggins' foundation is too weak, so give him the ball. It's useless, what is needed is to improve shooting and dribbling in training now, and the only thing that can be practiced now is defense.

"Don't be too careless. After the Cavaliers get used to it, it's not so easy to deal with. Don't forget, Derek signed with Adidas. The fmvp in the past three years is not a player under Nike. Do you think Nike will be willing? Duran Teh is hurting again now and it's just James..."

Antetokounmpo's talent is not inferior to thick eyebrows. He doesn't suffer much in terms of size, speed, and confrontation. Under his defense, thick eyebrows make it much more difficult to score. He can no longer rely on talent to attack the frame simply and rudely. More Choosing to complete the finish at a close distance, the efficiency has dropped a lot.

Curry had a few inadvertent passes in the fourth quarter that went straight to the Mavericks, and the unforced errors were maddening to watch.

The fans all agreed that the Pelicans would win. After all, the Warriors rested the four main players and their strength dropped sharply. However, after the game started, the Pelicans did not beat the Warriors as expected.

"I don't remember anymore, anyway, after I played in garbage time, I just hit the iron, hit the iron and hit the iron again, and I have been ironing for a season..."

This is a commonly used treatment method in the league now, and Kobe has also used this method to treat injured knees before.

What's more, the Bulls still have home court advantage. The referee no longer hides and starts to exert force. As long as they can blow down a few, the Bulls' opportunity will come.

The next day, the Warriors challenged the Pelicans in back-to-back away games.

In the post-match interview, Rose took all responsibility for the loss:

Zhang Yu dispatched a full bench lineup consisting of Dinwiddie, Danny Green, Middleton, Yi Jianlian, and Olynik. Except for Gasol, who was replaced by Gibson 2 minutes earlier in the third quarter, the Bulls had the rest. substitute.

At the press conference before the game, Zhang Yu announced that Curry had a tense back, Green had a tense hip, Clay had a sore ankle, and Leonard had a sore shoulder, and they would all miss the game against the Pelicans.

Leonard volunteered to defend Nowitzki. Relying on his wingspan and countermeasures to interfere with Nowitzki's shots, he forced Nowitzki to take difficult mid-range shots.

But he has a lot of pick-and-rolls to attract timely points after the defense, creating opportunities for teammates to score easily in four-on-three. He is the core engine of the Warriors' offense. The data cannot reflect his role on the court.

"I can't dribble smoothly, and I can't shoot accurately. Is he the second Leonard?"

"I'm dying of laughter. This is the fighting power of the coalition forces? Didn't they give back to the Cavaliers and Lei Niu's family yesterday? If the Bulls lose, they won't recognize them, right?"

If they want to play a role at critical moments, they still need a long time to grow.

In this game, the Mavericks caused a lot of trouble for the Warriors.

The coalition could not refute the winning Warriors fans, and could only vent their grievances on the losing Bulls:

He wants to win the Warriors, and this is a problem that must be solved.

The defeat of the coalition was doomed at the moment the Warriors won. The Warriors fans did not pursue and fight hard. How many games the team's winning streak can last is what they are most concerned about now.

Wiggins' technical characteristics are somewhat peculiar. His physical talent is excellent, and his first step speed is also very fast, but his movement and control skills are very average, and his breakthrough ability is not strong. He likes to move two steps and shoot two points.

"No, you will know in the future that Andrew is very suitable for the Warriors...Let's not talk about him, are you convinced now?" Zhang Yu let go of his hand and looked at Stevens with a half-smile.

If it weren't for the 4 minutes of garbage time in the fourth quarter, Zhang Yu continued to let Antetokounmpo and Wiggins play for leveling, this would be a big victory with a point difference of 20+.

He is not a guarantee of victory, he has never won the final victory, he has not shown dominance.

"What happened next?" Wiggins was intrigued.

"Well, it doesn't count this time. You'd better make it to the finals. I have no opponents in the West. Don't you fall in the East by then."

"If James was in the Warriors, he would have won three consecutive championships. Let Curry bring these CBA teammates to try."

After the whole game, the two didn't score many points, but they joined forces to build an iron wall for the Warriors.

Compared to being killed by Curry with a three-pointer, he believes in the Bulls' follow-up rotation, and is more willing to bet that other Warriors players can't make a shot.

The Bulls' offense was bogged down, and their defense was weak.

The Warriors played more teamwork, with Antetokounmpo 16 points, Danny Green 13 points, Dinwiddie 10 points, Wiggins 12 points, Middleton 13 points, Yi Jianlian 10 points, and six of the team scored in double figures , Olynik scored 8 points and Covington scored 9 points, and their performances were also quite good.

As for Wiggins, when the intensity of the game is raised to a higher level, he can't even handle the ball, so he can only stand on the three-point line to open up space, ready to cut at any time.

Mike Breen quipped:
"The Warriors are the enemy of all the traditional insiders in the league. From starting to the bench, the Warriors have been attacking the insiders, making them miserable. I want to find an opportunity to interview Coach Z and ask him if he has any prejudice against centers..."

"Are you expecting a team that doesn't rank in the top five in the West to win the Warriors? Stop dreaming!"

This season, Harden's ball-holding big-core style of play has higher and higher requirements for ball possession. Jeremy Lin's ball possession has decreased, and he suffered two minor injuries at the beginning of the game. He missed a total of 8 games and his state fluctuated. big.

James fans know that they are never opponents in a head-to-head confrontation, so they can only repeat the same tricks:

Wiggins nodded heavily, the depressed expression on his face was swept away, and he became firm again.

If Zhang Yu hadn't consciously arranged tactics for Curry, allowing him to score a few points against the underdogs, he would have fallen from the top of the scoring list.

O'Neal put it bluntly:

The reason why the Warriors win is the unity of purpose and more blossoms, and it is also the way Stevens personally chose to lose.

On the other hand, those commentators who predict that the Warriors will win are all based on the comparison of the strengths of the Warriors and the Cavaliers.

……

Soon, the intermission ended and the two sides returned to the court.

……

, the Cavaliers only James has proved his strength. Both Irving and Love have given people the image of a stat brush before. They have never made the playoffs, and no one knows what kind of performance they can play in the playoffs.

During the break, Mark Jackson said:
"The Bulls were able to recover 2 points, and the home court advantage played a big role. For a long time, they didn't score in sports games. If it weren't for those few free throws, the Bulls would be in danger."

Stevens finally couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout.

"Later, I practiced the mid-range shot, and the more accurate the shot, the more accurate it is until today." Leonard smiled and walked towards the player tunnel.

These four people were still alive and well yesterday, fighting fiercely to defeat the Mavericks in 48 minutes, and suddenly they were injured overnight?
You are a liar!

The undefeated record is an honor, but also a burden. After three days of rest, the Warriors returned to the starting line. Before the festival, with a record of 26 wins and 1 loss, it ranked first in the league.

"Hehe, if I win you once, I can win you a second time. If you have the ability, you can continue to flank Stephen!"

Like those media, they have only one reason-the Cavaliers have James, he has the strength of No.1 in the league, and the Warriors win too many games, but they will relax their mentality and may lose on festivals.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Bulls 123:114, winning 19 consecutive victories and continuing to hold the top spot in the league with an undefeated record.

"Hehe, don't look at the teammates around Curry, lie down and enter the Western Conference Finals, how can James have such luck!"

"Forget it, you were just lucky enough to beat me once in the regular season... If I remember correctly, the next time we meet again is January 1th, and we'll talk about it when you win!"

After the timeout, Rose, Dunleavy, Butler, Gibson, and Noah returned to the court. On the other side, Zhang Yu was not careless at all. Curry, Klay, Leonard, Green, and Asik all appeared on the court.

"It's nothing more than a Curry system player. I only dare to play under Coach Z. If I have the ability to go to other teams to prove myself, I'm afraid I won't even get the runner-up!"

库里也是在最后时刻成功把自己拖出了会场，他今天的状态很差，全场23投9中，三分10中3，罚球6中5，砍下26分6助攻5篮板1抢断5失误。

It's okay to take a break if you want, but you can't fool people like this, right?

"Butler is the true core of the Warriors. Without Butler, Curry would not have won a championship."

After trading away Love, the Timberwolves, who were already underwhelmed, swooped down to the last place in the West, complementing the Knicks and 76ers in the East. Before that, they had only achieved a record of 4 wins and 15 losses.

Only Snell has a good three-pointer, but the Warriors didn't give him an open chance. Middleton stood on the three-point line and handed him an ashtray.

The statistics of the Warriors players are not so impressive.

When the fourth quarter lasted to 52 seconds, the score came to 123:110, the Warriors still led by 13 points, the Bulls were running out of time, unless Rose became Tracy McGrady.

He wanted the starter to rest for a while, but such a huge point difference forced him to switch back to the starter early and give it a go.

When someone needs to stand up to attack, the Warriors' offense will stagnate.

Watching Wiggins walk into the player tunnel, Zhang Yu adjusted his suit and walked to the technical table. Stevens was already leaning there, waiting for him, and the two embraced tightly.

However, although the Warriors lost the game, Zhang Yu praised the performance of everyone in the interview after the game, and he did not hesitate to say:

Zhang Yu hugged Wiggins:

On November 11, Howard strained his right knee again in the Rockets' game against the Grizzlies, and then received platelet-rich plasma injections to quickly heal the injured knee.

……

But time is on the side of the Warriors. While the Bulls are slowly chasing points, time is passing quietly but quickly.

"Be content. Four people injured four parts. After all, they didn't all have tight buttocks. Coach Z still kept a little face..."

This allows the dead five to stay on the court. After Curry attracts defense on the offensive end, Green has no defensive pressure and can always send the ball to the most appropriate place. The Warriors have a high success rate of four-on-three.

This time, Stevens was no longer swaying, he was completely woken up by Curry's two three-pointers.

Although the touch still hasn't been recovered, they have become serious on the defensive end. Relying on tough and tough defense, the Warriors gradually recovered the point difference.

Yes, according to some media reports, James is still the king of the Eastern Conference. The Heat lost to the Bulls because Wade and Bosh dragged him down. Still the emperor, his luxurious data is the most powerful proof.

James is worse than Rose, let alone compared with Curry. Curry is a single season mvp + scoring champion + championship + fmvp, or two consecutive years, full of dominance.

Under the performance of Dinwiddie, Olynik, and Middleton, at 7:32 in the fourth quarter, the score came to 115:96. The Warriors beat the Bulls by 11:4, extending their lead to 19 points.

"Everyone of us fought to the last moment. In the face of adversity, we did not give up. We carefully implemented the team's tactics and looked for opportunities to win. This is more precious than a victory in a game. The Pelicans are an excellent team. Davis is a top-[-] player in the league. We almost won the game without four main players. I am proud of my players. This will earn them more playing time..."

Wiggins finally got a chance to play. Because of his weakness in shooting and defense, he sat on the bench for the whole game. At the last moment of the game, he was replaced by Zhang Yu to experience the intensity of the playoffs. aftertaste.

"Hey, that's not what you said in the pre-match interview! Didn't you say that you will compete today?"

This is already the best choice Stevens can make after weighing the pros and cons, and he paid the price of being opened up by the Warriors, but it doesn't give the Bulls an advantage in the transition.

Antetokounmpo and Wiggins played the entire fourth quarter. Zhang Yu gave Antetokounmpo unlimited firepower, allowing Wiggins to face the most threatening person for the Timberwolves' offense, whether it is outside or inside.

……

The Pelicans also have an uneven lineup. Gordon's glass attributes broke out and he was truce due to injury. The Pelicans lacked an important outside scoring point.

In addition, Butler had 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, and Leonard exchanged blows. Gasol had 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, supporting the Bulls' offense at the beginning and the second quarter. From the data point of view, the performance is very good.

This hits the Bulls directly on the soft spot.

Last season, Jeremy Lin still averaged 15+6 per game, but after he played as the starting point guard for a season, other teams studied him more and more. He relies heavily on speed and has become more and more Hard to score.

In the last 23.5 seconds of the fourth quarter, it was because of Green's astute judgment and timely assist defense that he successfully completed a steal from Monta Ellis and Curry made a counterattack layup. The Warriors narrowly beat the Mavericks 93:89 and won 22 consecutive victories, tying the Heat's record.

And this is the most efficient offensive method. Under the interference of the opponent, Wiggins made 3 of 0 shots in garbage time and scored no points.

"I am the one who admires James the most. With Irving and Love being dragged down, I can still be assigned third in the Eastern Conference. If the Cavaliers dnp them, will the Cavaliers have to break the record of 72 wins?"

"Hehe, someone like Stevens is still talking about it? Pure nt, what kind of stupid X tactics are arranged!"

他今天的表现非常出色，全场14投7中，三分球2中1，罚球3中2，砍下17分5篮板1助攻2抢断1封盖，只是其中有一大半是四打三投定点得到的。

The starting lineup composed of Dinwiddie, Danny Green, Wiggins, Antetokounmpo, and Asik is indeed lacking in star flavor, but its strength is not bad.

They need rest, and their tensed hearts need to be relaxed.

Curry's scoring average has also dropped to 27.9 points. Temporarily, with an advantage of 0.4 points, he temporarily tops the scoring list. With a little carelessness, Harden, who is ranked second, can catch up.

Of course, this kind of righteous indignation will have no effect. The main thing in the explosive zone is that there are many people bullying few people, and the coalition has a large number of people. Although it is impossible to fight against the Warriors fans who are in full swing after winning the game, there are few people who can bully the losers. For Bulls fans, it is handy.

After losing to the Pelicans, there is no need to consider the winning streak, and the pressure in the hearts of the Warriors players is gone.

This made the Warriors players who were a little disappointed after the loss feel much better. Most importantly, their efforts were not in vain, and they used their actual performance to gain playing time.

When the red light came on, Wiggins lowered his head and walked slowly down the court with a very frustrated expression.

……

Dinwiddie and Olynyk played a pick-and-roll, Gasol squatted, Olynik bounced to catch and shoot, Gasol expanded, and Dinwiddie used speed to break through to the inside.

"Do you believe what you tell the reporter?"

After the game, he was still a little tired and looked listless.

Warriors fans are naturally very dissatisfied with this statement, mocking James online:
"The four runners-up are still so good at bragging. If James wins the championship, shouldn't he directly surpass Jordan?"

Commentators have also made forward-looking, also because of well-known reasons, many people are optimistic that the Cavaliers can win.

"What does the Bull's loss have to do with you? Go back to your own zone!"

This is the second time the Warriors have played against the Rockets this season. Coincidentally, Howard missed both games.

But Howard's expectations fell through. The platelet-rich plasma treatment was not as effective as he expected, and his comeback was nowhere in sight. In addition, Rockets power forward Terrence Jones also had a truce due to neurological problems.

But due to well-known reasons, before the start of the Christmas game, many media always compared James and Curry, and regarded this Christmas game as a continuation of the finals. war".

In the end, the thick eyebrows stood up. He and Holiday played pick-and-rolls and hit the difficult mid-range with consecutive catches. He scored 14 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter and scored 37 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal. Led the Pelicans to defeat the Warriors 120:114, ending the Warriors' 22-game winning streak.

Green swept around, rotated to fill in, and repeatedly stifled the Mavericks' very threatening offense.

Gibson can only rush to the frame, leaving the three-second zone without any offensive threat.

It may be that the continuous victories have caused a lot of psychological pressure, or it may be that they underestimate the Mavericks and are relatively lax in their mentality. Today's Warriors players are generally in poor condition, feel cold, shoot less than 30% of the three-pointers, and defend laxly , 10 points behind the Mavericks in the first half.

Curry is the real No.1. He has real honors and statistics, and he defeated all the superstars in the West and the Big Three of the Heat who ruled the East in the playoffs, winning impeccably.

Everyone else fed the ball to Wiggins, and he was not polite. He took the ball and played singles, but the effect was terrible.

Stevens had a cold face:

克莱全场11投6中，三分球9中4，没有罚球，砍下16分2助攻1篮板1抢断，和加索尔同样不能相比。

Warriors fans are depressed:
"Hey, I thought I could break the Lakers' record of 33 consecutive victories. Now it's all right. Let's rest four starters. Coach Z, you really don't take the record seriously..."

伦纳德12分6篮板2助攻5抢断1封盖，格林7分8篮板4助攻3抢断2封盖，还多次成功干扰投篮。

What an innocent child...

This time, the two met again, and no one saw Curry as a challenger anymore. James became the one who needed to prove himself, and he was the underdog.

Although Wiggins' defensive habits are still not good, his defensive attitude is very good. Relying on his physical talent, his defense can reach an above-average level, and his long-range shots are average, but he also has a three-point shooting rate of about 30%. The Pelicans' defense can be used as a qualified striker end point.

Yeah, should he continue to flank Curry?

In these four games, only against the Grizzlies, the game did not lose suspense until the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter. In the other three games, Curry clocked in three quarters, the data was not displayed, and he did not get the best of the week. awards.

At this time of fighting defense, Green and Leonard stood up.

James' statistics are as luxurious as ever, averaging 25.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, ranking No.3 in the scoring list, but the Cavaliers' record is at a disadvantage. He only ranks No. 4 in the latest MVP list. [-]. It has never entered the top two before.

In fact, Rose's performance today is already very good. He made 25 of 12 shots, 8 of 3 three-pointers, 10 of 8 free throws, scored 35 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, with only 3 turnovers.

The Bulls defended him very closely, changing defenses on every cover, and did not dare to let him go when they were shrinking and rotating. Clay didn't get too many open opportunities. He seized the only open space and made 4 three-pointers.

For the rest of the fourth quarter, the Warriors slowed down their pace and consumed time in every attack. Everything was their responsibility to keep the lead, and they would not stop until 24 seconds.

Whenever the referee blows the whistle, Zhang Yu and Cole will take turns to argue with the referee, protest and appeal. Zhang Yu even received a technical foul for this and continued to put pressure on the referee.

But even if the record gap between the Warriors and the Cavaliers is so huge, there are still many Cavaliers fans who firmly believe that the Cavaliers can win.

They believed the words of the media, those well-dressed commentators, and believed that James was No. 1 in the league. It was only because of bad luck that they failed to win even a championship.

They have already put James' failure in the Heat behind them. The Cavaliers will be a new start for James. This Christmas game is the declaration that James has reached the top of the league!
