At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 105 The Furious Artest
After halftime, the Warriors took the lead with a score of 54:52.

杜哲在偷窃者手套和微波的双效加持下，单节9投6中，砍下16分1板2断的数据。

The fans at the scene never dreamed that the Lakers, after losing Kobe, would be so vulnerable to the Warriors led by Du Zhe!
If it weren't for the fact that the Warriors dug too much in the first quarter, the Lakers might have been taken away in the second quarter.

But even so, many Los Angeles fans still feel dissatisfied. After all, the team's general Kobe is absent, and his strength will definitely be affected.

They couldn't help muttering in their hearts: "The Warriors' shit luck is really good. Artest was injured in the last match, and Kobe didn't come back this time. How can they keep picking up the loopholes!"

"If our Lakers team has a neat lineup, we will definitely be able to win the game like chopping melons and vegetables!"

But Los Angeles fans can only comfort themselves if they think so.

The Lakers generals who played against the Warriors directly on the field have already recognized the situation. The Warriors are no longer the fish that can be manipulated casually!
After all, when it comes to injuries, the opponent is actually the more serious side. The Warriors not only let Monta Ellis, an absolute main player, but also sit on the bench with Anthony Randolph, Mickey Moore and Larry Moore. Dmanovic waits for a major rotation.

This also makes the Lakers even more wary. If the team faces the Warriors in the playoffs, even if they can survive the danger, they will still have to peel off their skin.

And during the intermission, on the Lakers' bench, Artest was even more suffocated, and could only rage in a helpless rage: "****! This Huaguo boy is a downright softie!"

"A coward who only dares to float outside and shoot!"

"Touch me head-on if you have the ability!"

Of course, Artest only dared to say harsh words on his own bench and vent to the air.

If he really wanted to provoke Du Zhe, he would never do it.

After all, Artest still vividly remembers the scene where Du Zhe broke the bridge of Kobe Bryant's nose with his elbow a few months ago. Even though he is a reckless man, he knows not to provoke such a truly ruthless character.

"Okay, Ron, shut up! The game is only half over. If you are not convinced, use your performance on the court to fight back." Lakers coach Phil Jackson stopped Artest and prepared to arrange the second half with a sullen face. tactics.

With Du Zhe's comparison, Jackson became more and more disdainful of the brainless Artest.

"How about using Artest as a bargaining chip this offseason and try to trade Du Zhe?"

Jackson suddenly had a bold idea.

But he immediately gave up this unrealistic idea.

Unless the Warriors' management is all idiots, they don't have enough significant bargaining chips. It would be a fantasy to replace Du Zhe with Artest alone.

Another famous coach, Old Nelson, has determined after watching the second quarter that Du Zhe's speed has indeed improved a lot.

Even though he has seen many talented players through the rivers and lakes, he still doesn't understand why.

He could only sigh in his heart that Du Zhe's potential was really bottomless.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the competition between the two teams became more intense.

Curry and Morrow felt cold on the perimeter, which led the Lakers to have more energy to target Du Zhe, and the defensive pressure on him also increased virtually.

Fortunately, under the high-intensity offense and defense, the Lakers' offensive efficiency was relatively average. Brown, who faced Du Zhe, made 5 of 0 shots in a single quarter. Under this situation, the Warriors were able to stabilize the situation.

After the third quarter, the two teams scored 78:74, and the Warriors barely expanded their two-point lead.

In the last quarter, Du Zhe thought there would be a fierce battle, but an accident completely ended the suspense of the game.

Pau Gasol, the Lakers' inside pillar, accidentally sprained his ankle in the middle of the fourth quarter. Although the injury was not serious, he was unable to continue playing in the rest of the game.

The Lakers' two major stars are unable to play, which makes coach Phil Jackson feel quite troubled.

In desperation, he could only replace Odom to fill the vacancy inside.

In the last quarter today, Odom did not turn on the "left-handed magician" mode, but directly transformed into "Odangdang".

He made 6 of 0 shots in a single quarter, 4 of 1 free throws, and only contributed 1 point. He almost single-handedly made the game lose suspense.

This also made Du Zhe feel a little disappointed. He originally wanted to fight until the last moment to test how good his lore killer talent is.

But no matter what, the team's victory must still come first. After a meat grinder-like fight in the last quarter, the Warriors once again won 98:92 at home against the Lakers.

After the game, the disappointed Los Angeles fans sat in the stadium and refused to leave for a long time.

Their disappointment was palpable, and they obviously could not accept the result of the team being double beaten by the Warriors at home.

At this point, Los Angeles fans can only comfort themselves with the reason that the team's lineup is not complete.

Du Zhe's performance in this game is still very stable. Although the fans in Los Angeles are still not too polite to him, the new dunk king + three-point king, but after experiencing the All-Star Weekend, Du Zhe has long been immune to such small scenes. .

全场比赛他20投10中，得到26分5板1助6断1帽，是勇士队阵中发挥最好的球员。

In addition to him, Morrow made 12 of 6, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 19 points.

Although Maggette only made 10 of 2 shots, he also scored 15 points on free throws.

Watson made 10 of 6 and scored 16 points.

And Du Zhe's performance of leading the team to double-kill the Lakers also provided a little help for Lao Wang's price-raising career.

After all, being able to defeat the defending champions one after another at least proves that the Warriors are indeed very competitive among the top teams.

And if Du Zhe can lead the Warriors to go further in the playoffs, then the publicity effect will definitely be better.

The day after the game against the Lakers, his shoe contract negotiations reached the final minute.

Both Mouta and Mouning offered 5 million knives for five years, but Du Zhe knew that this was far from the limit of these two brands.

According to Du Zhe's memory in his previous life, a certain player should be negotiating a contract with another NBA player, Kevin Garnett, at the same time.

According to anecdotal rumors, a certain offer to Garnett should be around $5 million over five years, more than twice that of Du Zhe.

Therefore, Du Zhe felt that he could strive for a higher contract during the next day's negotiation.

The next day, Du Zhe met with a brand representative from a certain brand, and the two parties were ready to start final contract negotiations.
