The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 324 Feng Shui Turns! The dilemma of the "Little Emperor"!

2007 12 Month 19 Day.

After beating the Memphis Grizzlies without Gasol, the Warriors returned to Target Center to face the Minnesota Timberwolves without Garnett.

What a beautiful thing it is to pinch soft persimmons.

Compared with the successive vicious battles some time ago, the schedule of these few days can be regarded as a "sweet journey".

After the big change, the Timberwolves have a very stable record this season, with 3 wins and 20 losses so far.

The Minnesota, who dived all the way, firmly holds the last place in the West and is far ahead in the battle for Ross.

In this game, they failed to pose any decent threat to the Warriors.

At 111:98, the Warriors completely lost suspense in the game with a wave of 37:17 in the third quarter.

张勃龙全场出战38分钟，13中6，三分球6中3，轻松划水到18分11助攻。

Ellis, Jackson and Diaw also scored in double figures.

The Warriors' best performer was Al Harrington.

他全场14投8中，其中三分球5投4中，砍下25分6篮板，正负值是全场最高的+27！

As one of the most important firepower points for the Warriors last season, after Diaw arrived, Harrington was put on the bench by Nelson to provide firepower.

His minutes per game dropped from 33 to 26, and his scoring average dropped from 17 to 13.3.

But Big Al didn't have any opinions, but worked hard to make his own contribution to the team.

The reason why the Warriors' bench can make the rest of the league feel tricky is because of Ellis, Lowry, Barnes, Pietrus, Biedrins...and him Harrington.

If these outstanding players change teams, they will all have the strength to play a starting role.

It is precisely because of their sacrifice and dedication that the Warriors can continue to move forward and fight for victory after victory.

In fact, these young people from the Timberwolves still performed well.

As the most important bargaining chip in trading Garnett, "New Wolf" Al Jefferson scored a big double-double with 24 points and 15 rebounds;

"Nine Fingers" Gerald Green came off the bench and scored 4 points and 18 rebounds with 8 three-pointers.

It's just that under the huge gap in overall strength, Timber Wolf was beaten into a cute husky by Fatty.

Two days later, the Warriors continued their road trip. This time they came to New Jersey to play against the Nets led by the backcourt duo "half-human half-god" Carter and Kidd.

I thought it would be a wonderful offensive battle, but the Warriors collectively misfired in the first quarter, and the Nets, who were playing at home, started with 28:17.

In the last three quarters, the Warriors counterattacked with all their strength, once overtaking the point difference and leading by five points.

But with Carter's three-point tie before the whistle, the two teams entered overtime.

In overtime, the Nets suddenly emerged.

Richard Jefferson, who scored only 11 points in regular time, began to steal the show.

He shot from inside and outside, scored 8 points in a row by himself, and caught the Warriors by surprise.

And as Zhang Bolong and Ellis missed three-pointers successively and failed to grab points, the hope of chasing points became more and more slim.

In the end, the Warriors lost 99:102 to New Jersey, failing to expand their winning streak.

After losing to the Nets, the Golden State Warriors flew to Cleveland for the last game of their five-game streak across the United States.

Quicken Loans Center vs. Cavaliers.

In the first game of the season between the two teams, the Cavaliers relied on the teenager Gibson's three-pointer to beat the Warriors 116:113.

James' data is a super triple-double of 44 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists;

And Zhang Bolong scored the first 50+ in the league this season, scoring 51 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, plus ten three-pointers.

After this campaign, the Warriors suffered a three-game losing streak in the fourth game, and Zhang Bolong, as the leader, was questioned.

The Cavaliers have two wins and two losses. Due to the foil of their peers, they have not received any criticism.

So far this season, the situation of the two sides has been very different.

Relying on the subsequent wave of 12 consecutive victories, the Warriors swept away the bad start, and now 19 wins and 8 losses are firmly in the forefront of the Western Conference.

The Cavaliers are not doing well recently. Except for the six-game losing streak that was like a landslide not long ago, they have 12 wins and 3 losses in the past 9 games.

With a record of 12 wins and 15 losses, it can only be ranked No. 11 in the East, which is quite different from the level predicted by experts before the game.

In such a hip-pulling schedule, most of the Cavaliers who broke through from the East last season lost to competitors in the same district.

Including a 30-point bloodbath by the enemy Pistons, 18 points in a loss to the Celtics, and 14 points in a loss to the Magic.

You can talk about losing to a strong team, but losing to the Knicks, the Bobcats, and the Wizards without Arenas... This cannot be justified anyway.

People don't know what happened to LeBron and the Cavaliers, but the situation of "Little Emperor" is by no means good.

In the just-concluded game, James, who was under tremendous pressure, tried his best. He made 19 free throws and hit 13 of them. He scored 37 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, helping the team beat the A mighty Lakers team.

This kind of performance can also be regarded as winning a short breathing right for himself.

But this time, the battle between him and Zhang Bolong for No.1 of the new generation, the direct dialogue between the two will put him on the hot pot again.

"Those reporters have already written two manuscripts."

"Two copies?"

"One will scold you to pieces, and the other will make me worthless."

"Hahaha, it makes sense, they have always been like this."

"Long, I must win this battle."

James vowed to Zhang Bolong.

"me too."

There seemed to be sparks intertwined in the eyes of the two.

Soon, the game begins.

James no longer tries to organize, no longer plays for his teammates, but directly adopts the all-encompassing style of last year's Eastern Conference Finals.

Impacting the inside of the Warriors with a bulldozer attitude.

The referee also kept blowing his whistle to send him to the free throw line.

Seeing this, Zhang Bolong was not to be outdone.

Last season, Snow has gone somewhere this season. The only guard on the opposite side who can match his size, Larry Hughes, is too strong, and his shooting percentage is only over [-]%, and he is basically abandoned by Bread.

Zhang Bolong didn't even bother to use the "Dragon Guard Great Wall". He also imitated James and rushed inside with the style of a small steel cannon.

At the end of the half, the two made 12 and 9 free throws respectively, and Zhang Bolong scored 1 more than him.

In such an atmosphere, the game was intermittent and not smooth.

During the intermission, the referee received a mysterious phone call from the league headquarters, and in the second half, the scale of the game suddenly relaxed.

The Warriors took the opportunity to complete a wave and established the victory with a 22:7 climax.

In the end, they won 106:95, avenging the lore at the beginning of the season, making the home night of James and the Cavaliers even more bitter.
