I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the Warriors' first home game of the season, the Lakers almost disrupted the Warriors' dynasty at their home court.

After the first three quarters of this game, the Lakers led the Warriors by a full 13 points, and saw that the Warriors were about to collapse in their first home game.

But the situation suddenly changed in the fourth quarter. Paul George, who had performed very well in the previous three quarters, suddenly lost power in the fourth quarter and shot 4 of 10 in a single quarter and 1 of 5 three-pointers. Then the other Lakers players were about to Neither Kitchen nor Leonard nor Nick Young, who performed very well in the first three quarters, stood up in the end. In the end, after the Warriors showed the intensity of the finals in the fourth quarter, they beat the Lakers at home with a score of 36 in a single quarter. 22. In the end, when Leonard missed the buzzer-beater, they defeated the Lakers 124-123 at home with difficulty.

In fact, the Warriors dominated most of this game. The reason why the Warriors were in such a situation was mainly because of the Lakers' backup guard Nick Young.

Nick Young's amazing performance in the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter shocked everyone.

Just look at Nick Young's numbers in just under 10 minutes.

After he came on the field at the end of the first quarter, he made 3 of 3 in the first quarter and 3 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 9 points in less than 2 minutes.

The Lakers, who were already 7 points behind, overtook the Warriors 35-34.

Then in the second quarter, Nick Young continued his output. During the rotation time of the second quarter, Nick Young made 4 of 5, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throw. This free throw was a four-pointer, and then there was output in a single quarter. 11 points.

In less than 10 minutes, Nick Young scored a terrifying 20 points.

And it's extremely efficient.

So much so that at the end of the half, the Warriors, who dominated most of the time, trailed by 9 points at home.

In the third quarter, Paul George and Leonard scored 24 points together efficiently, which made the Warriors basically lose after the third quarter.

To be honest, the Warriors themselves showed the intensity of playing in the Finals in the fourth quarter, but they were actually a dead horse, but they didn't expect that Paul George, who had performed so well earlier, suddenly lost power. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. .

Of course, a key to the Warriors' victory in this game must be Chen Xiao, who plays center in this game.

No one expected that Jokic was not so able to push Chen Xiao in this game.

You know, Chen Xiao is not a traditional center.

It can only be said that Chen Xiao has gained weight again this season.

Dwight Howard of the Spurs tried to push Chen Xiao away last season.

This season, Jokic also tried it, but he was also not very able to push Chen Xiao.

Now that Chen Xiao has gained weight for two consecutive years, his strength is definitely first-rate for the center position.

But obviously, in order to gain weight, Chen Xiao's speed and explosive power, which had been declining, naturally dropped again.

Let's put it this way, with Chen Xiao's speed and explosiveness that have now dropped below 80, if he switches defense to Curry or Rose, he will have no choice but to let them shoot as much as possible.

It can be said that Chen Xiao basically no longer has such good individual defense ability to defend outside players.

Of course, from another perspective, Chen Xiao's offensive ability, especially inside offensive ability, must have been greatly improved.

For Chen Xiao, such a choice is not really a choice.

Last season, when Chen Xiao single-handedly defended small and fast players on the outside, he basically let them shoot. This season, he sacrificed some speed and burst, and sacrificed some personal defense against outside players. This is actually not a huge sacrifice.

It's not even a sacrifice compared to what you get.

At age, endurance 100 and strength 100 are locked again. This is a decision Chen Xiao must make. In the later stages of his career, in order to maintain top combat effectiveness, he must make such changes and develop his strength as much as possible. Advantage.

With 100 strength combined with Chen Xiao's current weight, coupled with Xiao Zhan's dribbling skills and increased confrontation bonus, Chen Xiao feels that he can now hit Howard with a deep step under the basket. In fact, In this game against the Lakers, Chen Xiao used a bottom step to beat Jokic, and the effect was pretty good.

Although he can't stand up to big centers like Jokic, Chen Xiao is more flexible than these big centers.

Let's put it this way, everyone who has played 2K knows that when modeling a center, no matter how you model it, as long as your height reaches more than 2.11 meters, your speed and burst will basically say goodbye to the 80 or above.

Although Chen Xiao's current speed and explosiveness are definitely down a cliff from his peak, compared with these regular big centers in the NBA, they are still advantageous.

As long as Chen Xiaochen can use his strength to hold the opponent down while taking the first step, and then turn around deftly, it will be a sure win!

This move has now become Chen Xiao's unique skill.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Xiao, who served as the center in this game, subdued Jokic on both offense and defense, giving the Warriors a final chance to counterattack.

Well, to be honest, Kobe didn't expect that Chen Xiao, who was the center in this game, would suppress Jokic so well.

Chen Xiao suppressed Jokic, and the Warriors focused on attacking Leonard, and then used Wade to defend Paul George alone, giving Paul George a lot of opportunities to beat Wade in isolation.

In the end, Paul George faced his former boss and teacher. He didn't play confidently enough, shot too many three-pointers, and ended up going undercover.

In fact, Paul George's choice to shoot a lot of three-pointers when playing Wade is not actually a wrong choice. His biggest advantage over Wade is his height, isn't it?

Usually when he is good, he can score these three-pointers.

It's just tonight, it's just a ghost.

The home and away double-header beat the Lakers, who are extremely popular and highly anticipated this season. This can be regarded as a very good start for the Warriors' new season.

Of course, for the Lakers, in the first two games of the season, it was not a big disadvantage against the Warriors, a dynasty team, and it also brought huge confidence to the Lakers and Kobe.

Although the Warriors are now missing Big Eyebrow and Klay.

But this Warriors team is still super strong. Apart from the Bucks, there is probably no other team that dares to say that they played two games with this Warriors team and ultimately lost by less than 10 points.

Adding up these two games, the Lakers lost by 7 points, which can be said to be insignificant.

Therefore, after playing the first two games of the season, the two teams, the Warriors and Lakers, have a bright future.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After the two teams played the first two games of the season, they both ushered in a wave of winning streak.

Especially the Warriors, without the two main players of Nong Mei and Klay, the Warriors started with a 26-game winning streak.

To be precise, the Warriors haven't lost a game since the start of this season until they came back on December 6th.

I gave my thick eyebrows a holiday at the beginning of October, and on December 6th, I successfully came back with my thick eyebrows to lose weight.

During this period, without thick eyebrows, the Warriors did not lose a single game, whether it was the Fed Cup or the NBA regular season.

This made the thick eyebrows change from being unruly and unruly to being honest and obedient when they came back.

There is really no way to be dishonest about this.

He is not a fool. How can he not see now that he is not the indispensable key man for the Warriors.

Although he is the proud son of the American media, he is the future No. 1 power forward in the NBA and the hope for the future of American basketball.

But with the Warriors, he's really not that indispensable.

Even if Jokic leaves, he needs to remain aggressive enough at all times.

Otherwise, it is really possible to be replaced.

Let's just talk about Chen Xiao's three inside partners when he was on the team in the past two months.

John Collins, who played 20 minutes per game, averaged 10.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. Jarrett Allen, who played 18 minutes per game, averaged 8 points, 5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game.

What makes the thick eyebrows feel the most dangerous is Wood, the undrafted pick signed by the team this year.

Wood averaged 21 minutes per game and averaged 13 rebounds, 6 rebounds and 1 block per game, including a shooting percentage of 57% and a three-point shooting percentage of 39%!

Anyone who has watched the game can feel with their own eyes how well Wood fits Chen Xiao on the offensive end.

To be fair, for Nongmei, each of the Warriors' three new inside players is far inferior to him in strength, but the three of them can together replace many of his functions, and even most of his functions can Replaced by three of them.

Playing against different opponents and playing different players, the three of them completed the task of the team very well during this period.

Of course, for the Warriors, although Wood, Allen and John Collins are all good, thick eyebrows are definitely better.

After all, you can't play eight people in a basketball game, you can only play five, and if there are three people, one person with thick eyebrows can have them all.

So if the Warriors have a humble eyebrow, that's for the best.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

After all, Chen Xiao, Wade and Luo Ge are one year older this season.

Chen Xiao celebrated his 35th birthday on November 11th, and all three of them are now turning 36. Even Wade will be 36 in another month.

In the NBA, for a veteran of his age, it's really different every year.

Although Wade and Luo Ge can get sufficient rest and rest in the Warriors, their status does not decline so quickly.

But Chen Xiao, who owns the system, knows that he is not the only one. In fact, Wade and Luo Ge are declining faster than him.

The current strength of the two has actually declined compared to last season, and it is not small.

In this case, the Warriors actually need Big Eyebrow and Clay or even Devin Booker or others to take on more responsibilities.

In this case, thick eyebrows are not modest enough, which is very important.

If the thick eyebrows are not humble enough, then if the team asks him to shoulder a greater burden at this time, he will drift away and the team will be in chaos.

Just like James and the Lakers with thick eyebrows in history.

As the boss, James found that he could no longer lead the team to victory. He needed Nongmei to take on more responsibilities, but Nongmei was not so willing.

Why is it that all the benefits are yours and the responsibility should be borne by me?

It’s okay for me to take responsibility, with equal rights and responsibilities. I demand equal rights and responsibilities in the team. Is there no problem with that?

Can LeBron James really hand over the leadership of the team to me instead of just talking about it?

Obviously, this is impossible. For James, if he gives up his position as the boss, what else can I do to surpass Jordan?

If it's not the honor of being a boss, how can it be an honor?

Not only will this honor not add luster to his career, on the contrary, it will diminish it.

Then, the incompatible Lakers collapsed.

The same goes for the Warriors. If the thick eyebrows are floating, you have to shoulder more responsibilities. How could the thick eyebrows not have this idea?

There are too many examples of this in the NBA.

Historically, Durant was sprayed away by Green. Isn't it because after winning two consecutive FMVPs, he wanted to have equal rights and responsibilities and replace Curry as the real boss of the team?

Even Durant, who is a basketball fan, is like this, so don't ask others to be saints.

There are such saints in the NBA, but they certainly won't have thick eyebrows.

Therefore, it is very important to tame thick eyebrows.

James, who keeps losing without thick eyebrows, will definitely not be able to tame thick eyebrows.

Only someone like Chen Xiao, whose team is still on a crazy winning streak without Nongmei, can suppress Nongmei, the proud man touted by the national media.

But is it useful to just suppress thick eyebrows honestly?

It's useful, but it's not enough.

On December 6, the Warriors played the Bobcats away from home.

In this game, the Bobcats, who were fully equipped, defeated the powerful Bobcats 111-107 on the road.

On December 8, the Warriors played the Pistons away from home.

Facing the weak team Pistons, which has played 5 consecutive away games, and it is also an away game in the Eastern Conference, the Warriors chose to rest Chen Xiao, Wade and Luo Ge.

This is also the first time that Chen Xiao has taken a break in his career.

With the team's three big players taking turns, the thick eyebrows who recently returned to the team and performed well against the Bobcats in the last game have certainly become the team's leader.

Because he has played beside Chen Xiao throughout his career, and Chen Xiao has never missed a game before.

So this is the first time that Nongmei leads the team in this game.

And he has a belly, so many people are staring at the performance of Thick Eyebrow, the proud man who has always been very favored by the American media.

The battle for the future leader of the Warriors!

The media, experts, fans, and even the thick eyebrows themselves are also looking forward to it.

In the eyes of everyone, the game begins.

Then something embarrassing happened.

In this game, the thick eyebrows who replaced Chen Xiao as the center were defeated by Drummond!

Chen Xiao, a 36-year-old veteran, can support the Warriors' inside line. He can capture Jokic on the left and Howard on the right.

As for thick eyebrows, even Drummond can't handle them.

To be fair, it's not entirely his fault that Drummond couldn't handle the thick eyebrows in this game.

The Warriors have consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference, and the player status is problematic.

Without three strong points in singles, the rest of the team is not so confident in singles, taking a lot of shots, and the shooting touch from outside is not good.

This can only force the boss, Nongmei, to beat Drummond in the paint. How can Nongmei fight in this way?

In addition, he has thick eyebrows and wants to prove himself and be a little more superior.

In the end, he made 6 of 22 shots in this game.

On the contrary, Drummond on the opposite side scored 20 points and 35 rebounds. His performance was extremely eye-catching. He almost covered all the backcourt rebounds produced by the Warriors.

Historically, beating Drummond with thick eyebrows is actually the same as Deron beating Paul. In fact, Drummond's beating with thick eyebrows is much worse than Paul beating Deron.

As long as the thick eyebrows are played more rationally and the handle is better, Drummond can be killed when thrown outside.

In fact, in this game, Nongmei was allowed to lead the team. Cole and Chen Xiao really did not want to humiliate Nongmei. Chen Xiao and Cole just wanted to let Cole know that the Warriors without Chen Xiao are the same as the Warriors with Chen Xiao. Is there anything different that allows Nongmei to feel at ease playing beside Chen Xiao.

It's just that neither Chen Xiao nor Cole expected that the game would end in a "breast eyebrow".

There was no other way. In order to release the pressure on the thick eyebrows and support the thick eyebrows in beating those fans and experts in the face, the Warriors could only choose to continue to rest Chen Xiao, Luo Ge and Wade.

Then……

The Warriors, who started with a 26-game winning streak, suffered three consecutive losses after resting three players.

Pistons, Trail Blazers, Mavericks...

Except for the Trail Blazers, who have 13 wins and 13 losses, the other two teams are both weak.

This time, my thick eyebrows were embarrassed...

It also made Chen Xiaoke's Warriors useless.
