Chapter 87
After defeating the Bulls at home, although the Warriors were gaining momentum, a new wave of injuries began to unknowingly sweep across the team.

While inside players Mickey Moore and Anthony Randolph have not recovered from their injuries, Radmanovic and Turiaf were both injured in training.

The situation on the outside is not much better either. Although several main players have not been troubled by injuries for the time being, other main rotation players such as CJ Watson, Anthony Morrow and others have also begun to suffer from injuries. Free battle card.

Before he knew it, Old Nelson found that he had few available people on hand.

In addition to Ellis, Curry, Maggette, Du Zhe, and Biedrins, only veteran Devin George, who joined this season, and Chris Hunter, who was signed from the Development League, also Able to fight.

Although the seven-man rotation is not impossible, for the sake of insurance, Nelson still played a safe hand and signed two firefighters from the Development League.

Among them, Cartier Martin is a 2-meter swingman. Like Du Zhe, he has been working hard in the NBA as an undrafted and temporary worker since last season.

It's just that now Du Zhe is considered successful, while Martin is still wandering around for a stable contract.

Another firefighter, Anthony Tolliver, is a short insider. Although he is only 2 meters tall, he usually appears in the position of power forward or center on the field.

Although it is inside, Toliver has a decent three-pointer, which is more suitable for the Warriors' current style of play.

In this way, the Warriors barely cobbled together a nine-man rotation.

But the current strength of the team's books is really not good enough. Four of the nine players were undrafted. Except for Du Zhe, the other three undrafted players are honestly embarrassing.

Among the remaining players, Curry is only a first-year rookie. Biedrins has been playing in and out and is already on the verge of being abandoned.

…………

In this way, with a camp full of injured players, on January 1, the Warriors faced the challenge of the Denver Nuggets at home.

In this battle, the two core players of the Nuggets, Anthony and Billups, have returned from injury.

However, in the face of the Nuggets who have lost the plateau home court advantage, Du Zhe's performance in this battle is no longer weak.

Not only did he suppress the Nuggets boss Anthony, he only made 20 goals in 6 shots and scored 15 points with a [-]% shooting rate.

At the same time, Du Zhe also completed a three-point lore at the last moment of the fourth quarter, avenging the team's double kill by the Nuggets this season.

The Warriors narrowly beat the Nuggets 104:103 at home.

杜哲本场砍下18分6板1助3断,出战时间超过40分钟。

Two days later, the Warriors faced their last opponent in this round of home games-the New Jersey Nets.

Before the game, the Nets' record still had not improved, with a record of 3 wins and 38 losses being the only one in the league.

In the eyes of the media and fans, there is no suspense in this game.

Of course, even if there is no suspense in the game, the presence of Arab League and Du Zhe can still attract a lot of attention to this game.

After Dayao was reimbursed for the season, the only two Huaguo only seedlings left in the league are Ah Lian and Du Zhe.

At present, both of them are important players in their respective teams who can get stable playing time. Such a dialogue will undoubtedly be a carnival for Chinese fans and the media.

Before the game, on major websites and forums, fans' discussions about the game were already in full swing.

Of course, everyone's focus is not on who can win this game.

After all, in the first few games, the Warriors even beat the Cavaliers and the Nuggets, so it is a bit difficult to expect the United Arab Emirates to win the game.

The main topic of discussion is what kind of performance Ah Lian and Du Zhe can perform respectively.

Although Du Zhe has attracted many fans through his recent performance, Ah Lian, as a veteran star in Huaguo, made his debut earlier, played for a longer time in the NBA, and has a deeper foundation among fans.

"Although Du Zhe is strong, Ah Lian is definitely not a vegetarian!"

"That's right, the UAE has improved significantly this season and is also the team's main force averaging more than ten points per game. Du Zhe may not be able to take advantage of this match."

"Come on, with Ah Lian's hit rate, it is also worthy of Du Zhebi?"

"Upstairs, is it so interesting to step on it?"

"To tell the truth, is it called stepping on one and holding one?"

"Okay, okay, they are all Huaguo players, everyone should watch the game rationally and discuss rationally!"

…………

As for the media, especially the Huaguo media, after losing the gimmicks of the Yao-Yi War and the Yao-Du War this season, they attach great importance to the only remaining fruit of the Yi-Du War.

Pre-match warm-up, live broadcast, and post-match interviews, this set is even more clearly arranged.

However, compared with the overwhelming publicity and discussions before the game, the whole process of the game can be said to be lackluster.

From start to finish, the Nets were suppressed and never saw a chance to win the game.

Before the third quarter ended, the game had already entered garbage time.

In the end, the score between the two teams was fixed at 113:75. The Warriors defeated the Nets at home by 38 points.

And Yidu's battle was even more anticlimactic and ended hastily.

The two rarely had the opportunity to talk directly during the game. Ah Lian felt cold, hitting only 6 goal in 1 shots and scoring 2 points and 11 rebounds.

And Du Zhe also had a rest early because the game lost suspense early, and he played less than three quarters.

不过他的发挥比起阿联要好上不少,全场16中10,砍下26分4板5断。

After this battle, the fans have an intuitive understanding of Du Zhe's progress and strength.

When Alina played in the CBA, he was the only player in the country. After Dayao was injured, he became the undoubted core of the national team.

But under the background of Du Zhe, he behaved like a passerby who can't play.

…………

Although they achieved a hearty victory against the Nets at home, the Warriors' injury problems have become increasingly serious.

Monta Ellis sprained his right ankle against the Nets, leaving the Warriors with one less player available to play.

To make matters worse, on the second day after the game with the Nets, the Warriors will go to an away game to challenge the Phoenix Suns, a strong Western Conference team.

This time the Warriors failed to create a miracle and lost the game on the road with a score of 105:111.

这一战杜哲出场42分钟,几乎打满全场,21投10中得到27分9板2助5断1帽。

In addition to him, Maggette and Curry also scored 27 points and 25 points respectively.

However, the performance of the other players was lackluster, and most of them could only contribute single-digit points. After struggling for three quarters, the Warriors could only lose with regret.

It can only be said that injuries are fair to every team. Some time ago, the Warriors just took advantage of their opponent's injuries, and now they will return it immediately.
