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

Chapter 133 Sweeping the Sun
Although the Suns' general Stoudemire was definitely absent, after returning home, the Warriors still did not dare to relax and were still preparing for the game seriously.

After Du Zhe came back, he continued to practice his bottom step and dunk on the training ground.

Originally, he wanted to proceed step by step and practice on Stoudemire first, but now the opponent's sudden injury has really disrupted his plan.

But now Du Zhe feels that he has practiced this move a little bit.

At least on the training ground, he faced Turiaf and Mahinmi's two "black and tough" defenses in turn, and his success rate of forcing dunks was not bad.

Sometimes according to the rules of the game, he can even make a "2+1" dunk.

But Du Zhe also knew that there should still be a difference between one-on-one training and actual combat.

Moreover, his current strength has surpassed Turiaf and Mahinmi by a lot. Now he is facing these two people, and he can easily suppress them with just the halo of the villain on the court.

So this made Du Zhe a little confused about his current level.

Therefore, losing Stoudemire as a sparring partner still made Du Zhe somewhat disappointed.

After all, Stoudemire has the strength of an All-Star at any rate, and he is not very affected by his halo of the villain on the court.

Moreover, Stoudemire's defensive strength is average, which is most suitable for new insiders like him to develop confidence.

However, this loss was quickly replaced by the joy of the game.

After losing Stoudemire, the Suns suffered a lot.

Without the bully inside to contain Du Zhe's defense, several outside players of the Suns also began to suffer.

Especially Richardson, who originally faced Maggette's defense, could easily score 20+ or ​​even 30+ high points in every game.

But now, with a defensive gate like Du Zhe on the front line, Richardson showed his true colors in an instant.

In the third game, Richardson, the Suns' leader in the first two games, failed to score more than ten points.

And in this game, the Warriors won more easily.

118:105, the Warriors easily beat the Suns at their home court.

In today's game, Du Zhe is no longer a one-man show.

Under his leadership, the Warriors have won consecutive games recently, and the confidence of the team has been fully demonstrated.

And once the team has self-confidence, they can take off the pressure on them and let go of their hands and feet on the court.

Du Zhe didn't take many shots in this game and only scored 22 points.

Although this score is placed on ordinary players, it can be regarded as a explosive performance.

Even for star players, it can be considered a qualified output.

But Du Zhe's incredible performance since the playoffs has numbed the media and fans.

Up to now, he has scored more than [-] points in a single game, and the media and fans are no strangers to it.

Even the media with good things took some headlines such as "Du Zhe didn't play well and only scored 22 points" to gain gimmicks.

In this game, other Warriors teammates also stood up.

Ellis scored 23 points and Maggette also scored 18 points.

And Curry went a step further after completing the first playoff lore of his career. Today he scored 32 points and 11 assists, playing the best playoff game of his career.

3:0, before the game started, no one thought that the powerful Suns team would be forced to this point.

Although the Suns have not won a championship in recent years, under the leadership of Nash and Stoudemire, the team has also been a powerful team in the Western Conference.

But no one expected that such an established and strong team would stand on the verge of being swept in front of the young warriors.

Now people also have to admit that the Warriors were able to eliminate the Mavericks in the first round, not because of any style of play, but because of their real strength.

Compared with the Thunder, another youth team that attracted much attention before the start of the game, the Warriors' performance was even more eye-catching.

The Thunder were eliminated by the defending champion Lakers in the first round, while the Warriors made great strides all the way to the Western Conference Finals.

It can be said that until now, all the teams in the league except the Warriors have regretted it, because in the draft that year, they all had a chance to select Du Zhe.

But it's a pity that none of them took advantage of this opportunity.

Now every team knows that they missed a big fish, and they all regret it too late.

The Warriors' strong performance has attracted the attention of several other teams competing against each other in the playoffs.

In another matchup in the second round of the Western Conference, the Lakers also crushed the Jazz with a score of 3:0.

Although the series is not over yet, Kobe's mind is no longer on the game against the Jazz.

This season, the grievances between him and Du Zhe can be said to have caused a lot of trouble in the entire league.

Du Zhe was also the first rookie to make him lose face like this. Kobe will always remember this shame.

Now he can't wait to fight Du Zhe immediately, and use a head-to-head confrontation to let the fans know that Kobe is still not to be underestimated.

The face he lost with Du Zhe in the regular season will be regained with profit in the playoffs.

In the subsequent fourth game, the Lakers beat the Jazz 119:98.

Kobe scored 44 points alone, it seems that he vented his resentment against Du Zhe to the Jazz in advance.

And his murderous performance also made everyone excited.

Clearly, Kobe has gotten serious.

People who like Kobe naturally hope that he can crush Du Zhe and give this guy who knows nothing about heaven and earth a hard slap in the face.

And those who hate Kobe adhere to the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and fully support Du Zhe, hoping that he can let Kobe suffer again.

Neutral fans, on the other hand, don't take it too seriously to watch the excitement. For such a topical and high-quality matchup that is full of popularity, they have already prepared melon seeds drinks and are ready to watch a good show.

The Warriors did not disappoint the fans. In the fourth game, they defeated the Suns again with a score of 115:107.

In the end, they swept the Suns with a big score of 4:0 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

In the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Magic also swept the opponent Hawks with a score of 4:0.

The other two teams, the Cavaliers and the Celtics, are inextricably tied. The two teams are currently tied at 2:2, and the outcome is still unclear.

After James saw the news that Du Zhe had easily advanced to the Western Conference Finals, his mentality also quietly changed.

Originally, he regarded Du Zhe as his potential younger brother. If he failed to win the championship with the Cavaliers this year, he planned to bring his talent to Oakland and use the Warriors as a springboard to realize his ambitions.

In this case, Du Zhe performed well and James should have been happy.
