The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 350 Return of All Members
When the Warriors returned to the home court, Curry announced his comeback, and those sunspots who clamored for Curry's reimbursement could only hide again.

However, for players, rationally accepting being hacked is also a way to improve their psychological quality, but sometimes it is really annoying, and it feels very warm when the fans help them back.

On January 1, the Warriors played against the Nuggets at home. This game was full of twists and turns.

The Warriors gained a 24-point lead in the first quarter, but then Curry collided with the opponent, and the Nuggets began to chase points frantically. Backup guard Will Barton showed a strong offensive ability.

The opponent Gallinari, Nelson and Faried also played better and better. The Warriors were once passive, but in the final quarter Zhang Xiaotian took the game away, making the Nuggets' previous anger disappear.

Fortunately, Curry's condition was just a bruise, and then the Warriors easily took down the Hornets.

After Zhang Xiaotian joined, the Warriors' breakthrough ability has been greatly improved, and the Hornets, a team with insufficient internal defense capabilities, is very passive on the defensive end.

Needless to say, the Splash Brothers and Zhang Xiaotian in the team, the more Draymond Green, the better. The title of Big Four has also become popular among fans.

Draymond Green is also very talented, but the height of the third position can help all kinds of defenses in the interior. Single defense can also make many players doubt their lives. It is very difficult for the players in the position.

Zhang Xiaotian has integrated into the team very well, the original core players of the team have also become stronger, and the ambition of the Warriors has gradually become greater.

From the outside world, there are more and more voices that the four Warriors will directly enter the All-Stars.

On January 1, the Warriors easily defeated the Lakers in back-to-back away games.

Kobe didn't play, and the Lakers didn't have any fighting spirit.

The feeling of the Lakers this season is that Kobe led a group of staff to hold concerts across the United States. The protagonist is naturally very popular, but it is devastating to the team's performance.

When competitive teams aren't focused on team performance, that's what happens with the Lakers.

The NBA is a competitive league, but also a business league, so it is not surprising that such things happen, as long as everyone makes money.

After back-to-back games, the Warriors played back-to-back away games.

To be honest, the league's schedule is very intensive, so many players suffer from injuries every season.

On January 1, the Warriors played away against the Trail Blazers.

After Aldridge left, the Blazers did not add any strong players, and it felt like they were vacillating between rebuilding and not rebuilding.

Their current grades are a bit unsatisfactory, but it's not that they have turned into fish belly.

CJ McCrum, who came out of the playoffs last year, has shown a strong ability this season, and has formed a backcourt double shot with Lillard.

Before the start of the game, Lillard said that the team will not be afraid of the Warriors.

So from the first quarter, Lillard played aggressively and wanted to overwhelm Curry.

Lillard's characteristics Curry is indeed difficult to suppress, but the Blazers' new dual guns have a disadvantage, that is, the defense is so-so. Curry and Lillard exploded each other, but Klay Thompson suppressed CJ McCrum.

Their defense in the third position is good, and Zhang Xiaotian is also fighting wits with Al-Farouq Aminu.

The Warriors scored 74 points in the first half and gained a sufficient lead. Even if Lillard scored 20 points in the first and second halves, it would not be able to prevent the team from being defeated.

Zhang Xiaotian, Curry and Klay Thompson are all 20+. Draymond Green's scoring ability is weaker, but he won a triple-double.

And on the team, Barnes has also returned. There are people with strength who are not afraid of challenges at all.

The next day against the Kings, Rondo did not restrain Curry as he did before, but was rubbed by Curry on the ground, and the Warriors easily won.

This back-to-back did not cause the Warriors a little trouble, and the teams aspiring to the playoffs are becoming more and more afraid of their strength.

The only weakness of the Warriors may be the inside, but because other aspects are too strong, it is difficult for other teams to take advantage of the inside problem.

On January 1, the Warriors returned to home against the visiting Heat.

The Heat's record this season is not bad, mainly because they picked up a center Hassan Whiteside who averaged a double-double last year and has a strong defensive ability.

There are always some players in the NBA who rise very bizarrely, but this time Whiteside will not play because of knee problems.

The Heat simply set up a small lineup, allowing this year's No. 10 pick Justise Winslow to enter the starting lineup to compete for the defensive ability of the front line.

It was aimed at Zhang Xiaotian, because Luoer Deng's pace was slower now.

At the beginning of the game, the Heat did a good job on both offense and defense, but Dragic couldn't restrain Curry a bit. In fact, Dragic defended well, but Curry's level was too high.

Winslow did defend well, but facing a rookie, Zhang Xiaotian was still able to suppress him.

On the contrary, Klay Thompson did not play well against Wade. The Warriors only led the opponent by 2 points in the first half.

With Whiteside unable to play, this result is obviously a bit difficult for the Warriors to accept.

However, they did not have players inside who could attack aggressively, so they did not seize this opportunity.

During the halftime break, the Warriors formulated a strategy for the second half. In addition to improving the strength of the defensive end, it is to strengthen the breakthrough and attack the inside line. Zhang Xiaotian is the main executor.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors were obviously more prepared.

Zhang Xiaotian achieved good results in a few strong bursts, and the Warriors also took a 10-point lead in half a quarter.

But after Zhang Xiaotian went to rest, the situation changed a little.

The Warriors' bench lineup was crushed by the opponent. Gerald Green, who was cheaply signed by the Heat in the summer, scored 9 points in a row, helping them chase the score to only 3 points.

Both sides are not very satisfied with this result, and the final quarter of the game is bound to be more intense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, it was Zhang Xiaotian's time, and Dragic led the team on the Heat's side.

They were very familiar with Zhang Xiaotian, and Winslow also stayed on the field, ready to pinch at any time.

It's just that they don't know enough about how Zhang Xiaotian has grown after leaving the Heat.

Zhang Xiaotian came up with two strong attacks, hitting the middle distance against the defense.

Coach Spoelstra saw that he was going to suffer, and he didn't care that it was only one minute before the fourth quarter, so he directly replaced Bosh for help defense.

But at this time, Zhang Xiaotian didn't hit the inside line, but had a strong mid-range. After being pinched, the two balls were just right, and his teammate Speights made a hit.

The Heat suddenly lost their composure, and immediately replaced all the main players and prepared to go all out.

They also saw a glimmer of hope to win and did not intend to give up.

The Warriors are not in a hurry, Cole feels that Zhang Xiaotian can handle all this now.
