Chapter 113 Difficult schedule

In order to be able to avenge his shame in today's game, Kobe has recharged his batteries and prepared for a long time in advance.

But due to Du Zhe's absence, he punched the air with a punch that he had accumulated for a long time.

Kobe, who couldn't find someone to vent his anger on, could only pour out the anger of revenge on the entire Warriors team.

Before the game, the media and fans also generally believed that according to Kobe's temper, the Warriors without Du Zhe might suffer a lot in this game.

But the development of the game process has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Although the Warriors lost Du Zhe, they did not lose their footing because of this, and played the whole game in a very orderly manner.

The Lakers, who are aiming for revenge, not only did not show the crushing momentum of Mount Tai, but the whole game process seemed a bit embarrassing.

科比全场18中9，砍下29分3板4助，乍一看这个数据似乎还挺不错。

But in fact, Kobe, who was dazzled by anger, performed undercover in this game.

While scoring 29 points, he also contributed 9 turnovers and narrowly missed an embarrassing double-double.

These 9 turnovers not only wasted the Lakers' offensive opportunities, but also leaked a lot of flaws, allowing the Warriors to counterattack quickly.

好在湖人队其他球员都颇为高效，加索尔13中10得到26分9板，拜纳姆11中6得到19分14板8失误，奥多姆9中7得到17分12板，让湖人队以124:121的三分优势惊险过关。

Although the Lakers won the game, they faced the Warriors in this game, but they did not show a little bit of room to defend the champion.

Although he won the game, Kobe's face became more gloomy from the post-match footage.

Obviously he is very dissatisfied with his performance, and he has been competing with himself in his heart.

Although the Warriors lost the game, the confidence of the players has grown stronger.

Through this battle, they discovered that the defending champion is not so far away. The defending champion is also human, has weaknesses, and makes mistakes.

Even without Du Zhe, they can rely on their own strength to fight the championship team to the last moment.

…………

And two days later, the confident Warriors once again beat the Hornets, which lacked star Chris Paul, with a score of 133:112 at home.

In this game, Tolliver, a firefighter temporarily signed by the Warriors, ushered in an explosion. As an insider, he made 19 of 11 shots and hit 4 three-pointers. He scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, setting a new record. Personal career score high.

After his comeback, Du Zhe originally planned to catch fish, but his efficiency was too high, and the final statistics were quite impressive.

He scored 12 points in just 22 shots and had 6 steals. It can be said that he didn't use his strength, and the Hornets fell.

After the game, a tailor-made sneaker for him was also sent over.

The sneakers sent this time are the "Du Zhe Generation" that has not yet been officially released.

Of course, unlike the commercially available versions, these pairs of sneakers have been fine-tuned according to Du Zhe's needs.

The insoles of the sneakers are custom-made according to Du Zhe's foot shape and style of play.

Although Du Zhe is skeptical about the black technology of a certain tread, but no matter what, after wearing it, it is indeed much better than the high-end ones he used to wear.

According to the introduction of the brand representative, the essence of these pairs of sneakers is actually all on the insole.

This kind of custom-made insole is not only expensive, but also takes a lot of work to make.

It can be said that the value of the insole is much higher than the sneakers themselves.

Now Du Zhe finally understands, no wonder those stars will take out the insoles when they send the shoes, the feeling is not afraid of tainting the fans.

…………

The next few opponents of the Warriors are all more difficult. In addition to the Grizzlies, the team also has to play against the Spurs, Suns, and Mavericks.

The first opponent is the veteran Spurs. They obviously did not exert their strength in the first half of the season, so until the end of the season, the team only ranked eighth in the West.

Seeing that the regular season is coming to an end, and the team's qualification for the playoffs is still not guaranteed, at this time the Spurs have no room to keep their hands.

In the game against the Warriors, the veteran Spurs broke out with a strong combat effectiveness.

138:127, the Spurs easily won at home.

After the whole game, although the Spurs team did not have a player who scored too high, 8 players scored in double figures, and the thickness of the team's lineup was vividly displayed.

In the Warriors, although Ellis and Maggette both scored 30+ points, Du Zhe also efficiently contributed 22 points and 3 steals.

But compared with the Spurs who are all soldiers, they still inevitably fall behind.

Du Zhe is also psychologically prepared for the final result. After all, the Spurs are an overall older team. In order to preserve their strength and reduce injuries, it is normal for them to play in the regular season before.

Although the Spurs are now ranked eighth in the West, this does not mean that they are only eighth.

In the real playoffs, the experienced Spurs have the possibility of a counterattack against any team.

And in fact, the gap between the two teams' lineup depth is indeed relatively large.

Like Mahinmi and Finley, these are all players who were voluntarily given up by the Spurs, but on the side of the Warriors who are short of major generals, they are all picked up as treasures.

…………

The next opponent, the Grizzlies, had a record of 35 wins and 31 losses before the game. Although they were only ranked tenth in the Western Conference, they still had the possibility of advancing to the playoffs.

Although the Grizzlies are not ranked high now, the team is tough and iron-blooded, and can be regarded as the top spoiler in the Wild West.

And the "black and white double bears" combination composed of Zach Randolph and Gasol Jr. can even eat the weak inside of the Warriors alive.

Fortunately, Gasol was unable to play in this game due to injury, which severely damaged the overall vitality of the Grizzlies.

And the Warriors are not helpless with the Grizzlies.

To deal with the Grizzlies who like to play positional battles, the Warriors play fast and slow, through high-speed passing and frequent pick-and-rolls to get small opportunities to play big, and then let outside players rely on speed and range to solve the battle.

As for the defensive end, Du Zhe used his mobility to enter the inside to help defend from time to time.

After the inside partner was replaced by Gasol, the "No. [-]" Thabeet, with Randolph alone, his threat at the basket was greatly reduced.

With Maxinmi in the front and Du Zhe in the back, Randolph's situation is also more male than male, oh no, it is even more difficult.

However, in the away game, it was not easy for the Warriors to win. The two teams finally fought 111:107, and the Warriors only won by four points.

The Grizzlies' defense against Du Zhe is also very tough this time, but Du Zhe's three-pointer level has reached the peak. With sufficient physical strength, he can guarantee a considerable hit rate even if he defends the face.
