Chapter 227 Winning and Losing
The Warriors upset the Mavericks in an away game is not a small news. In the 9 games of the day, there were basically no stadium news about other major events.

So that day, the NBA's official website put the Warriors' defeat of the Mavericks at the top of the list, which was also another way for Stern to promote Chinese players.

Yang Di was also placed fifth in the top ten goals of the day through Dampier's supplementary dunk.

From the perspective of visual effects and American aesthetics, Yang Di's dunks in almost every game can be selected as the top ten goals, and because of his violent dunking methods and the increased chances of performance this season, the exposure rate has also increased all the way. Basically, he has become a representative of the new generation of insiders, and he is an out-and-out local star player in San Francisco.

The support of the Chinese is even stronger, and I have never seen such a compatriot with such a long face!Together with Yao Ming, he made people feel happy without a sense of belonging, and gradually became an idol.

Of course, it's just an idol on the court.

On the second day, Yang Di and the Warriors rushed to New Orleans, and then rested for less than five hours before entering the arena for training and games.

In the game against the Mavericks, Yang Di didn't feel any problem with his physical strength, but when he played this game, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Magloire of the Hornets is also in a state of serious injury and reimbursement. The player who replaced him is the second-round pick Matt Frager, who was traded from the Heat this season by the Hornets. He is similar in height and weight to Yang Di.

It just happened to be such a rookie, and Yang Di was very uncomfortable with the low position. Coupled with PJ-Brown's timely assistance and blocking, Yang Di didn't get many rebounds in a game, and was robbed by PJ-Brown. A rebound, that's a 35-year-old man!
"The feet are weak! There is no strength in the legs."

When Montgomery saw the state of the players, he knew that the game was going to suffer. Richardson made 4 of 0 shots in the opening game, all of which hit the front of the basket.

If the previous game is too fierce, the latter game will not work.

He didn't report too much hope, so he replaced the main players early in the first quarter.

Just at this time, the Warriors' substitutes broke out!
John Salmons, who caught the opportunity, finally played his best game since he came to the Warriors. He made all three shots crazily at the beginning of the first quarter, scored 9 points from inside and outside, and helped The Warriors evened the point difference with the Hornets and even surpassed by 1 point.

The rookie JR-Smith replaced by the Hornets was swayed by various fake moves by Salmons, and he was stunned and taught by Salmons.

After it was over, Salmons said unceremoniously to JR-Smith: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA."

JR-Smith was speechless in embarrassment, but he couldn't help it. Defense was not his strong point. He was so young that he could only let out a long sigh. The legendary NBA is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. A substitute player can knock him out, it's really not easy.

Hornets head coach Byron Scott didn't like JR Smith, and after seeing how poorly he defended, he substituted him shortly after the second quarter, when he played 5 minutes and made 1 shot 0, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 turnover and 1 foul.

After Salmons showed off, the substitute power forward Foyer also started to play. The defensive end rewarded David Wesley with a big fire pot, which improved the morale of the team. The offensive end and Pietrus played a perfect pick-and-roll, three steps up The basket was scored as two plus one, making the Hornets even worse.

Scott sighed, "If only Magloire, David West, Baron Davis and others were here at this time."

These powerful players of the Hornets are all on the injured list. The Hornets are half a team and then play against the Warriors. The rookie, compared to the Warriors' substitute, is already like a shotgun to a cannon. He is really no one to use.

Montgomery was overjoyed by the outstanding performance of the substitutes, so he simply let them stay on the court until the last three or four minutes of the second quarter, when they replaced the main players one after another. time.

勇士半场42比37领先黄蜂5分，杨迪打了13分钟酱油，只得到3分3个篮板。

In the third quarter, Richardson missed a shot and the rebound bounced far away. Yang Dika stretched out Matt Frager and finally grabbed the first offensive rebound of the field.

He returned to Richardson outside the three-point line, then leaned on Matt Frager's body and spun around him like a spinning top.

Richardson understood and sent the ball to the basket. Yang Di jumped high, caught the ball with both hands and dunked it.

Scott shook his head. After all, Fredger was just a rookie and was too young. The ball shouldn't have been so high, which gave Yang Di a chance to run back.

After dunking the ball, Yang Di gradually came to the state and grabbed rebounds consecutively.

Scott made a gesture on the sidelines to signal the players on the field to switch defenses, and PJ-Brown changed from assisting defense to top defense to contain Yang Di a little.

Montgomery replaced Fisher and Dunleavy in advance, and replaced Salmons and Pietrus.

Salmons continued his state in the first half. He stepped back in front of Junior Harnington and hit a mid-range jumper. His style of play was very similar to that of Jordan.

In fact, there is not much difference between Salmons and Jordan when he comes to the touch. At least facing this level of defense, he seems to be completing the training with the trainer with ease, scoring more and more freely. The confidence in the game was bursting.

Then Yang Di stared dumbfounded at Salmons scoring 29 points, coming off the bench to get the highest score, and leading them to win the game with a group of main players whose physical strength has declined.

After this game, the Warriors won three consecutive victories.

But because Yang Di did not perform very well in the last game, Yang Di still failed to win the best player of the week.

In Salt Lake City, the Warriors lost to the Jazz.

Freshly traded to the Jazz, Mehmet Okur showed his prowess, making all 5 shots from the outside, and piercing Yang with a hundred steps.The champion of the Pistons last season, after being poached by the Jazz, gradually found new confidence in the Jazz, almost like a fish entering the water, especially adapted to Sloan's pick-and-roll offensive tactics.

He partnered with Carlos Boozer, not only complementary offensively, but also fierce defensively.

If it weren't for Kirilenko's injury, the Jazz's current record should be better. Even so, they still achieved a record of 10 wins and 13 losses after this game, which is very close to the Warriors.

On December 12, the Warriors flew to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.
