Yue Yi is now the absolute core of the team, and his status in the team is getting higher and higher. Kidd, the former core of the backcourt, and Jackson, the captain, now take Yue Yi's opinion first on all issues related to the team. They have all pushed Yue Yi to the front, and he is the leader of the team at the front.

The more respected the status, the greater the relative responsibilities, the heavier the burden on the shoulders, and the greater the pressure.

Yue Yi quickly adjusted.

The decline of veterans is an inevitable trend. We cannot expect them to grow stronger and stronger in the long regular season.

Their role is to teach young people various experiences of the game, sit in the team, and perform at critical moments.

This is the greatest value of a veteran.

As for the young people on the team, Yue Yi knew that he had made a misunderstanding before and always looked at them based on their peak state in the original time and space.

Yes, they have some of the best defensive players and have been selected to the All-Defensive Team all year round.

Some are high-quality 3D players who can shoot three-pointers and defend.

Some are masters of chaos and have good finishing abilities at the basket.

There is a man who single-handedly started a three-point craze in the league.

However, without going through the process of being tempered into steel, they are still just pieces of iron, and now they are just newcomers to the alliance who follow their own butts and need to be taken care of by themselves.

As a newcomer to the league, I am too dependent on them at this stage, which I shouldn't be.

If you want to maintain the team's competitiveness and achieve a good record this season, you still have to rely on yourself.

Especially the current situation of the team, which is indeed old and young.

Kidd's offensive firepower has further declined, as has Rasheed Wallace. DeAndre Jordan has no offensive ability to begin with. Jackson is okay and has some firepower support, but not much.

At present, attacking with all our strength and shouldering the responsibility is the best help to the team.

Only by constantly winning can we maintain the correct culture of the team and give newcomers a better environment for growth.

On November 8, the Warriors played against the defending champion Lakers at home. Yue Yi turned on all-out offensive mode and entered a killing state. He made 19 of 34 shots and 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 51 points and single-handedly defeated the defending champions. The championship avenged last season's playoff defeat.

51 points set a personal record for Yue Yi.

Kobe greatly praised Yue Yi in the post-game interview, saying that Yue Yi's offensive performance has transformed after the playoff battle with the Lakers.

When the reporter asked Kobe to talk about how Yue Yi asked him for low-post skills during the preseason and practiced with him for a week, Kobe said that Yue Yi had a very strong learning ability and one week was enough for him to master all the low-post skills.

"As you can see, this guy hit me twice in the low post in this game, and I used the techniques I taught him on myself."

"Next time I see him, I'm going to kick his ass on the court."

Kobe said this with a smile. He looked angry, but his tone was full of appreciation.

When he taught Yue Yi, he would think of how Michael taught him more than a decade ago.

There was also a famous scene in this game.

Flying in the sky, Jordan used an extremely violent one-armed air-suspended slam dunk to knock Gasol, the"culprit" who defeated the Warriors in the seventh game and eliminated the Warriors, to the ground. The

Warriors' common tactical cooperation, Jordan and Yue Yi followed the pick-and-roll, Yue Yi threw the ball into the air, and Jordan took off. Because he jumped too high, he stopped in the air after catching the ball with one arm, and waited until he descended to the right position, and then he dunked with a one-arm swing, knocking Gasol, who had just jumped up to defend, down.

This amazing slam dunk put the fans sitting in the Staples Center to watch the game in a dilemma.

The dunk was so beautiful that people couldn't help but cheer.

But the ball was dunked by a player from the opposing team, and it was still dunked by a player from the opposing team. If Gasol, the hero of the championship, cheered and jumped for joy, it would be very disrespectful to Gasol.

But I really couldn't help but cheer for this ball.

The Warriors bench went crazy.

Some jumped up and screamed, some threw their towels on the ground, some pretended to be stunned and exaggeratedly popped their eyes out, and there were all kinds of exaggerated celebrations.

Curry kept gesturing at the sidelines to imitate Jordan's dunk just now.

Yue Yi gave Jordan a punch on the court to celebrate.

Some teammates on the court pushed Jordan with great force.

Some gave him a heavy high five.

Such a dunk can really ignite people's emotions.

Yao Ming pulled Gasol up from the ground, with no expression on the surface, but in fact he was still in shock.

Fortunately, it was not him who dunked the ball.

Then he looked at Yue Yi who was celebrating with Jordan with a resentful look.

This stinky boy dunked on me when he first entered the league, making me a background emperor.

Look, this kid has been in the league for three years, and he is not a dunker.

On November 11, the Warriors challenged the Raptors away, and Yue Yi continued his hot form in the previous game, scoring 42 points and leading the team to win the game. On

November 13, the Warriors challenged the Magic away, and Yue Yi again scored 40+ and got 44 points, leading the team to a three-game winning streak.

Throughout November, Yue Yi has been in a state of full offensive firepower, averaging 38.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and was elected the Western Conference Player of the Month in November.

The team maintained its record under the leadership of Yue Yi, breaking the outside world's doubts about the Warriors' new season in one fell swoop.

The Warriors in the new season are still a strong team that cannot be ignored.

A game of intensive regular season games As the game progressed, Yue Yi also flew back and forth between cities in the United States. As he flew back and forth, time passed quickly, and Christmas was approaching in the blink of an eye. For the

Christmas game, the league arranged for the Golden State Warriors to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers away.

The Christmas game has always been a more exciting highlight in the long regular season, with much higher ratings than ordinary regular season games.

This is an affirmation for the Warriors, indicating that they have received more attention in the league.

Last season, the highly anticipated Game 7 between the Lakers and the Warriors was hailed as the most exciting round of the series.

The follow-up benefits of the war were given to the Warriors.

On December 25, most NBA players have entered a rare holiday time, either accompanying their families or calling friends to get together.

This year, the Warriors team did not have so much time to rest, and their special plane flew to Los Angeles Airport in the afternoon.

On the special plane, the veterans were in the mood to play. Kidd prepared three Christmas hats and asked the team's three rookies to sing Christmas songs for the whole team.
