Chapter 420 Depression

January ends and February begins. Fans are all paying attention to the All-Star Weekend half a month later, but for the Warriors players, their attention must now be on the latest chapter of leveling on the court.

On the first day of February, the Warriors went on the road again, this time their destination was Oklahoma City.

Consecutive years of lottery picks have provided the Thunder with many cornerstones for reconstruction. This season, they are ready to hit the playoffs, and now they are very close.

Judging from the rankings of the Thunder and the Warriors, the game between the two teams is not worthy of attention, but this game still attracts the attention of many fans. The reason is very simple. The stars of these two teams are Kevin - Durant and Yang Shuai.

Kevin Durant, he has been growing every season since entering the league. When Yang Shuai attracted a lot of attention in the past two seasons and grew into a top star in the league, in Oklahoma City Kevin- Durant has grown in a low-key way, and after entering the new season, he has also become one of the league's superstars.

When he first entered the league, Durant did not pay much attention to Yang Shuai. Although he and Yang Shuai are known as representatives of offense and defense among rookies, Durant, who regards Kobe, James and others as his goals Speaking of Yang Shuai, he didn't take Yang Shuai's strength seriously.

After one season, Durant finally set his sights on Oakland, and he realized that this guy who once surprised him on the defensive end is surprising everyone on the offensive end.

Since last season, Durant and Yang Shuai have been the most eye-catching rookies in the 07 class, and Durant has found that Yang Shuai has attracted more attention than him.At this time, Durant realized that when his goal was to set those superstars, there was a guy next to him doing the same thing.

Another season passed, and Durant felt that his strength had improved greatly, and he could be among the top stars. However, when his eyes turned to Oakland again, he did not have any pride, because Yang Shuai had already become the leader of the league at this time. The most watched star, when he was still working hard for the playoffs, Yang Shuai had led the Warriors to stand at the top of the league. Even in the scoring list, Durant had to be behind Yang Shuai.

Everything made Durant make a change, his goal is no longer Kobe, James, but Yang Shuai.

Against the Warriors, Durant appeared in the arena an hour earlier than usual, warming up, shooting, Durant was doing all the preparations.

For the Thunder, the Warriors didn't pay much attention to it. They were all silent in the excitement of Chandler's return. When they were strongly blocked by the Thunder at home, they realized that the team was in trouble. among.

From the beginning of the game, the Thunder showed a good offensive state, while the Warriors played a little carelessly.After the opening game, the Thunder played a wave of 15:6 at home, and established a 9-point advantage in less than half a quarter.

At this time, the Warriors suddenly came to their senses, and Old Nelson hurriedly called a timeout.On the offensive end, Old Nelson chose to trust Yang Shuai, and he handed over the offensive power to Yang Shuai.

In the past games, the Warriors have always done this, and the results have also satisfied the old Nelson and the Warriors fans, but this time, Yang Shuai is a little disappointing.

With the right to attack, Yang Shuai chose to attack by himself, but in three consecutive attacks, Yang Shuai failed to score either a shot or a layup. When he changed his style of play and began to connect more teammates, the Thunder had already closed the gap. Expand to 12 points.

Being 15 points behind Ray in the first quarter is not terrible for the Warriors. What is terrible is the state of Yang Shuai in this game. In the first quarter, Yang Shuai only made 7 of 2 shots and scored 4 points. His state was extremely sluggish.

This game has become Yang Shuai's lowest state since this season. Throughout the game, Yang Shuai has not found an offensive state. Yang Shuai's downturn also affected the overall offense of the Warriors.On the other end, Durant has shown a very good state, and the entire Thunder is also in good shape like him.

91:103, 12 points difference, just when everyone thought Chandler's return would usher in an explosion for the Warriors, the Warriors unexpectedly lost to the Thunder in the away game.

Yang Shuai played the worst game in recent times. He only scored 20 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was only 30.00%.

Durant did what he hoped to do before the game, 34 points, 2 assists and 7 rebounds. He beat Yang Shuai in this game.However, Durant didn't feel any joy when he went off the court. After the game, he said this through the media.

"Winning Yang? Perhaps, but this kind of victory doesn't bring me too much excitement. Today's Yang makes me a little disappointed. He is completely out of shape."

When these words reached Yang Shuai's ears, handsome Yang's face couldn't help twitching slightly, but in the end he continued to chat with his teammates as if nothing had happened.

The loss to the Thunder did surprise the Warriors fans, and many fans who were looking forward to Chandler's return were even a little disappointed. Fortunately, the Warriors did not disappoint everyone in the next game. Their opponent was the Houston Rockets The latest chapter of Wushuang Guoshi.

If Yao Ming hadn't been injured, such a duel would have been hyped long ago.But Yao Ming's injury will make him miss the entire season, and McGrady will continue to miss due to injury, which also makes the duel between the Warriors and the Rockets not attract too many Chinese people's attention.

Although there are no Yao Ming and McGrady, many Warriors fans still paid attention to this game, all because the Warriors lost in the previous game.

Anyone who is familiar with the Warriors knows a little bit of the rules. Once the Warriors lose in the previous game, the Warriors will often usher in an explosion in the next game.Yang Shuai's performance in the last game was a little sluggish, and his outbreak is also what Warriors fans are looking forward to.

After the whole game, the Warriors did not disappoint the Warriors. In this game, they scored 122 points and won the Rockets by 18 points.Although it was an away game, the Warriors had firmly grasped the team's initiative almost from the first quarter. Except for losing to the Rockets by 1 point in the second quarter, the Warriors suppressed the Rockets in a single quarter in the remaining three quarters.

Evans and Jackson, the two Warriors' shooting guards, ushered in an explosion in the game. Jackson scored a game-high 31 points, while Evans also scored 29 points.

Compared with the strength of these two, Yang Shuai's performance inevitably disappointed the Warriors fans. In the whole game, Yang Shuai scored 22 points and his shooting percentage just reached 40.00%.

Whether it is scoring or shooting percentage, there is not a small difference from Yang Shuai's normal level. Such a performance will naturally not satisfy the Warriors fans.

Yang Shuai's state made Warriors fans a little worried. For a while, speculations about the reasons for Yang Shuai's downturn appeared one after another. Some speculated that Yang Shuai was injured; There was a discord, saying that Evans had threatened Yang Shuai's status.

Many speculations have not been confirmed, but the Warriors have ushered in the game again. They need to continue to play away games. This stop they came to Dallas. This is their third consecutive away game, and it is back to back.

As a team from Texas, the Rockets no longer have the competitiveness of the Mavericks. For the Warriors, it is undoubtedly more difficult to play against the Mavericks than the Rockets.

Yang Shuai also knew that his performance in the last two games was a bit sluggish, so he played more proactively at the beginning of the game. He kept hitting the basket and got 6 free throw opportunities in the first quarter alone.

With 6 free throws, Yang Shuai scored 5 points, and this was all Yang Shuai scored in the first quarter. Except for free throws, Yang Shuai lost all of his other 3 shots.

"Yang Shuai's state has been a bit sluggish this week..." At this moment, even Zhenli couldn't help but sigh.

In the second quarter, Yang Shuai let the Warriors fans breathe a sigh of relief. In this quarter, Yang Shuai made 4 of 3 shots and scored 7 points, including a 2+1 and a wonderful fast break dunk.

In the second quarter, Yang Shuai's state recovered slightly, but he did not reach his normal level.After realizing that Yang Shuai's condition has improved, the Mavericks strengthened their defense against Yang Shuai after the second half started. As long as Yang Shuai received the ball, he would double-team him immediately.

If he is in a good state, even double-teaming can't stop Yang Shuai from performing, but Yang Shuai has not been in this state for a while, and the result is that after trying twice and failing to score , Yang Shuai chose to pass the ball more out of desperation.

Several starters and role players of the Warriors are good, but the benchmark figure of the Warriors' offense is Yang Shuai. When Yang Shuai's offense cannot be played, maybe the Warriors can also play a decent offense, but they are doomed to meet a strong team. It's going to be tough, and the Mavericks' second half proved that.

The Mavericks this season are not one of the top teams in the league, but it is undeniable that the Mavericks have very strong strength.

When Yang Shuai couldn't perform normally and the rest of the Warriors players didn't usher in an explosion, the Warriors' game felt very difficult.

After the third quarter, the score came to 81:85, and the Warriors trailed the Mavericks by 4 points in the away game.Realizing that Yang Shuai's condition was not very good in this game, Nelson asked Yang Shuai to rest for 5 minutes after the start of the fourth quarter.

Old Nelson's adjustments were really effective. After a few minutes of rest, Yang Shuai, who returned to the court, immediately made a contribution. He relied on running to receive a pass from outside the three-point line and made a direct hit. The difference between the two teams was only 2 points down.

After closing the point difference, the Warriors seemed to have found some sense on both ends of the offense and defense. They defended against the Mavericks' offense in the next round, and then Stephen Jackson received an assist from Yang Shuai and made a mid-range shot. The team's score came to 97:97, a tie.

The game entered the entanglement stage, and Yang Shuai seemed to have finally found his offensive state and scored consecutively.10 seconds before the end, Dirk Nowitzki hit two points with his iconic Golden Rooster independent jumper, and the game became 110:111, with the Mavericks leading by 1 point.

In the fourth quarter, Yang Shuai had already scored 10 points, and the last shot was naturally handed over to Yang Shuai. The Mavericks obviously knew this and focused on defending Yang Shuai.

3 seconds before the end of the game, Yang Shuai made a shot under Marion's strict defense. The ball circled on the basket and fell outside the basket. 110:111, the Warriors lost to the Mavericks by 1 point in the away game, and also lost It was the second of their last three games.

Although Yang Shuai scored 27 points in the game, he was still criticized by many outsiders for missing the last shot after the game, because on the same day, James performed well in the game against the Heat. In the first game, James scored 36 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, continuing to lead the Cavaliers to a winning streak.

Between this victory and one defeat, the Warriors have lost their league's first throne, which now belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers. ^-^138 Reading Network (www.13800100.com) has no pop-up window to read^-^
