Chapter 180 IX Will Face a Severe Test Again

Since late November, the Warriors' schedule has not seemed to be easy. Next, the Warriors have to face a difficult schedule (read the full text of the quick knife).The first is to play the Nuggets away, and the second is to play the Magic at home. After these two games, they need to go on a five-game Eastern road trip.

Now the Warriors have a record of [-] wins and [-] losses, and have dropped to tenth in the East. If they lose too many games in this period, it will be difficult to keep the tenth position, let alone hit the top eight. .

The away game against the Nuggets was not easy. After trading for Billups, their strength seems to have improved. In the previous six games, they have won five of them.

Of course, Warriors fans still have hope, such as thinking that their team is a team that is good at breaking the rules.It is a pity that this time, they failed to break the rules. In the game against the Nuggets, even though Yang Shuai scored 20 points and Jackson scored 25 points, they still failed to resist the opponent's offensive, and finally scored 15 points in the away game. The point difference lost the game.

This season has lost a lot. It has been less than two months since the Celtics lost all season. Yang Shuai also understands that there is indeed a huge gap in strength between the two teams. Both the Warriors and themselves still need to improve.

Of course, Yang Shuai is not reconciled to losing the game. Last season, most of his improvement relied on space, and his usual training is mostly shooting and defense.After coming to the Warriors, he has more training content, such as physical fitness, strength...

There is also the emergency stop jump shot. After understanding the benefits of the emergency stop jump shot, Yang Shuai also increased the emergency stop jump shot training in his usual training. In this way, although his emergency stop jump shot has not reached the intermediate level, but It is still higher than the elementary level.

There are not many things to do in Oakland. Yang Shuai spends a lot of time in the training hall, training by himself and watching his teammates train.For example, Biedrins, every time Biedrins finished shooting and other routine training, Yang Shuai would always stop him and teach the opponent to defend.In the beginning, it was just him and Biedrins, but now, Landry has also joined in. Landry's ability to help defend and defend against pick-and-rolls is good, but he is really mediocre in single defense.

Hinrich and Jackson's defense is still good, so the two joined less. Anthony Morrow will also train with Yang Shuai and the others, but Yang Shuai is often rushed to practice strength.

Maybe it’s because they are shooting players who just entered the league. Yang Shuai and Morrow have a good relationship. Morrow, who participated in the draft but was not selected, is very interested in Yang Shuai’s experience, and even a little worships him. Come on, Yang Shuai, a player who has not participated in the draft, can start now and average about 20 points per game. This is a very miraculous thing.

Therefore, Yang Shuai seduced Moreau just like he tempted Biedrins, always intentionally or unintentionally instilling such thoughts in the other party, "Dude, you must become stronger and stronger."

Yang Shuai, Landry, Biedrins, and Morrow often get together in the training hall, while Hinrich often practices fast-break passing and shooting under the guidance of assistant coaches.

On the whole, although the Warriors' record is not good, but because there are so many young people, they still feel very hardworking.Of course, there are also discordant voices in the middle, such as Brandon Wright.

Since Landry became the starter, Wright has been a little emotional. Nelson Sr. has talked to him, but it seems that he still hasn't fully accepted this reality.After the team training, Wright almost never stayed for extra training, and he didn't seem to communicate much with his teammates.

For his performance, players like Jackson and Hinrich who have been in the league for a longer time may shake their heads, but for young players like Yang Shuai, they don't even pay attention.I'm too busy with my own affairs, so I don't have the time to care about other things.

"Andris, your positioning is really bad. When you are stuck, you must ensure that you can move to any direction. Of course, you can choose to be closer to the baseline. Many inside players like to go to the baseline. Turn around so they're less likely to get double-teamed."

In the Warriors' training hall, Yang Shuai, Biedrins and Landry are training inside defense. Landry is the main attacker, Biedrins is the main defense, and Yang Shuai is guiding.

Landry's interior offensive skills are actually not outstanding. He is better at cutting to the basket to score, but now he can only be called. The offensive skills of other players in the Warriors' interior are also very average.

"Andris, I think you should also get stronger. Look at your games. You get knocked over by someone. Your strength is not even as good as Karl. You have suffered in your previous career. There have been a lot of injuries a few times, which has a lot to do with your poor physical resistance. If you can become stronger, you can avoid all of this."

Regarding Biedrins' physical confrontation, Yang Shuai was quite speechless. He found that the Warriors seemed to have a lot of players of this type. Biedrins, Randolph, and Wright all had excellent athletic talents, but their bodies The confrontation is not strong, among which Biedrins is considered better, but he still has a big gap when facing a powerful insider.

Biedrins's rebounding and blocking statistics seem to be good, but most of them rely on his impact, and his positioning awareness and ability are not good. This is largely due to his lack of physical confrontation ability. The effect is not good when the inside line is stuck.

In the past two seasons, Biedrins has made great progress on the offensive end. For example, he has a certain success rate in the offense of turning around with the ball on the baseline, and his hitting around the three-second zone is also not bad.But on the defensive end, he still relies on supplementary defense and assist defense, and his real single defense ability is very weak.

Biedrins was a little disapproving of Yang Shuai's words, he shrugged and said: "Yang, if I gain weight and become stronger, then my speed and rushing ability will decrease, I don't want to do that .”

Yang Shuai shook his head. It seems that it is not easy to change Biedrins' point of view. In fact, in his opinion, strength is very important for an inside player. Even a striker himself has realized that the increase in strength is important for him. The benefits, not to mention the more intense fight against the basket?

Originally, the next game should be a good experience for Biedlins to experience the importance of physical confrontation, because they are facing the Orlando Magic (the latest chapter of infinite bloody evolution).Howard's jumping and rushing abilities are no worse than Biedrins', but his physical confrontation ability is better than Biedrins's at 01:30, so he is far more threatening inside than Biedrins.

However, Biedlins has no chance to experience all this for the time being, because of a knee injury, Howard missed the game against the Warriors.In the last game without Howard, the Magic still defeated the Jazz. In this game, they also hope to win consecutive victories, but at this time the Warriors players did not agree.

Without Howard inside, the Warriors players know what they want to do, attack the inside more and attack the basket more.Among them, Biedrins is the representative.

The jump ball defeated Magic's substitute center Gortat with an absolute advantage and won the ball for the Warriors. Immediately, Biedrins began to attack the inside. The Warriors' fast attack was fully reflected at this time.When Biedrins rushed inside, the Magic's defense was not yet fully settled. Hinrich, who seized the opportunity, threw the ball directly and succeeded in an alley-oop dunk.

The absence of Howard not only made Biedlins more impactful on the offensive end, but also made it easier to rebound. In the first quarter, he grabbed 5 rebounds, including 2 offensive boards.

Nelson, as the first attacking point of the Magic, was entangled by Hinrich. Although Hinrich seemed a little thin, his defensive ability was very good.As for Turkoglu, who is the team's offensive brain, unfortunately, Yang Shuai has his eye on him.

In general, although the Warriors' defense is not very good, they now have a few players with good individual defensive capabilities, so the Magic's offense without Howard's restraint is not easy to play.

In terms of offense, the Warriors will implement one word, fast!

After nearly a month of specialized training, Hinrich's advancement speed on the offensive end has greatly improved, so the Warriors quickly advanced, shot quickly, and rushed for rebounds quickly.

Yang Shuai's outside shooting was not as hot as in the previous game, but this time he strengthened his breakthrough more. Neither Gortat nor Lewis' defense on the inside of the Magic is very good. More convenience comes (download begging live world txt).

20 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. These are the data of Yang Shuai in this game. In addition to him, the Warriors have two other players who have scored double-doubles.Biedrins scored 21 points and 20 rebounds, which made Howard, who was watching the game off the court, hate his teeth. If he was on the court, it would be much more difficult for Biedrins to obtain such data.

Another double-double is Hinrich. He scored 13 points and 13 assists. This is also a new high in assists after he came to the Warriors. Ricky's assists are also rising. After all, the effect of Landry's pick-and-roll is much higher than that of Turiaf and Wright.Whether it's a direct shot or hitting the basket, Landry is more sure than these two.

In the case of three people achieving a double-double, the Warriors did not let the victory slip away from their own hands. 108:121, the Warriors achieved two consecutive victories at their home court.

The Warriors are still very happy with the team's change. After all, the new lineup with three unfamiliar faces in the starting lineup did not perform poorly in the new season as expected by the outside world. Their unstable performance brought relative stability. Warriors fans are already looking forward to the situation when the team's performance is more stable. What's more, another big scorer in the team, Monta Ellis, has not returned yet.

Of course, after Ellis comes back, the old Nelson may have a headache about the starting lineup. For the time being, this starting lineup is playing pretty well.However, Ellis is willing to accept the identity of the bench?

This headache is left for later consideration. Now, the Warriors have to face another headache, five consecutive away games, and then they need to go to the East again.

Their opponents in the five games are the Pacers, Eagles, Bobcats, Magic and Heat. Among them, the Pacers and Bobcats are relatively weaker, while the Eagles, Magic, and Heat are all strong contenders for the Eastern Conference playoffs. This schedule once again tests the physical strength and energy of the Warriors players.

For Handsome Yang, advanced physical strength will be a big factor limiting him. As for whether this road trip will change, maybe!
