I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 110
After defeating the Grizzlies, the Warriors rushed to Salt Lake City overnight to challenge the Utah Jazz back to back.

As we all know, the home stadium of the Jazz is known as the "Devil's Home Stadium".

Playing here not only has to overcome altitude sickness, but also endure the boos and abuse of the home fans.

These are only external factors and cannot play a decisive role. The most important thing is that the Jazz's own strength is not weak.

They are a strong team that has made the playoffs all the year round, and they are known for their iron-blooded defense. No matter who wants to retreat from the Energy Solutions Arena, they have to lose a layer of skin.

Therefore, most players in the league like to play at Energy Solutions Arena.

Their status here is very vulnerable and they can't play beautiful data.

The most important thing is that there are very few bars and nightclubs in Salt Lake City, lacking some relaxing venues.

To sum up, it is very difficult for the Warriors to get out of the whole body, so they can only give it a go.

When the entrance ceremony was held, Sun Yi felt the "enthusiasm" of the fans in Salt Lake City.

"My dear, these fans are too crazy. It reminds me of the scene against North Carolina in the NCAA finals. I don't know what it would be like to shut up these crazy people."

Sun Yi listened to the boos and curses all over the sky, and complained to Curry beside him.

"Sun, you still have a strong psychological quality, and you can still talk and laugh at this time."

Curry eased his tension by chatting and joking with Sun Yi.

Then the two came to the bench, ready to play.

After the entrance ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen.

Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Morrow, Maggette, Sun Yi, Randolph.

Jazz starting lineup: Deron, Matthews, Kirilenko, Boozer, Okur.

Seeing the starters of the Jazz reminded Sun Yi of the old game between the Mosaic team and the Jazz.

Under the guidance of coach Sloan, the Jazz were simply the Mosaic's nemesis. They continuously eliminated the Mosaic in the playoffs, making it impossible for the Yao-Mai combination to get past the Jazz.

Moreover, Boozer also became famous and was labeled as the big Yao nemesis.

Sun Yi didn't think that Boozer was better than Yao, but that this guy showed extraordinary strength by relying on the Jazz's tactical system to avoid the most important.

If Dayao is given a reliable [-]th position, he can hang Boozer and Okur up and play with one hand.

Without thinking too much, Sun Yi swept away the distracting thoughts in his mind and concentrated on preparing for the battle.

Not long after, the game officially started.

Not long after the game started, the Warriors fell into a disadvantage.

It may be because of back-to-back reasons, or it may be affected by the Devil's home court, which makes the Warriors' players out of form and their strength greatly reduced.

The two shooters, Curry and Morrow, encountered the Jazz's strong defense, and their three-point shooting frequently hit the iron.

It doesn't matter if you can't score from the outside line, and even the pass and cut cooperation frequently makes mistakes.

Sun Yi found that when he passed the ball, his teammates were always half a beat too slow to react, leading to passing errors.

For this reason, he didn't dare to lead the ball anymore, but waited for his teammates to run to the designated position, and then passed the ball.

The disadvantage of this is very obvious, it is impossible to avoid interference from opponents, and the shooting percentage will also be affected.

In this way, the Warriors couldn't play offensively, couldn't play smooth running and bombing, and it was very difficult to narrow the point difference.

As for the defensive end, they were blown away by the Jazz's classic pick-and-roll tactics.

As a running and bombing team, the Warriors are dispensable to defend. They can only rely on offense to compete with their opponents. Now they don't even have offense, so losing is a matter of course.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, Sun Yi and Curry could only sigh together on the bench, feeling that they were a little pitiful and weak.

It's so miserable!

He was under pressure and beaten by the Jazz throughout the whole process, and his offense and defense were blasted to pieces.

Without the strong output point of Ellis, it is really impossible to make a strong team at the playoff level, even if all the Warriors play normally.

In the end, the Warriors lost to the Jazz 84-102.

The performance of the Warriors Gemini was a bit appalling.

孙逸在上场的36分钟内，获得了15分11篮板6助攻2盖帽的两双数据。

Although his data looks quite satisfactory, there is still a certain amount of water in it.

Most teams will basically not fight for offensive rebounds against teams that play running and bombing, but seize the time to quickly return to defense.

This allowed Sun Yi to seize the opportunity and pick up a few backcourt rebounds with ease, and then he made his statistics look better.

Curry's performance can only be described as stretching his hips. In 30 minutes of playing, he scored 9 points and 3 assists.

It was the first time the primary had scored less than 10 points this season.

Under the high-intensity defense, Shaku's physical strength has problems, and he cannot support him to play for a longer time. 30 minutes is basically the limit.

Moreover, the elementary school students were at a disadvantage in all aspects against a defender with strong physical fitness like Shang Delong. His thin body could not withstand the impact of De Xiaopang, and he was taught a lesson severely.

Back at the hotel where he was staying, Sun Yi did not go back to his room to rest, but went to the gym to relieve the grief of being crushed by training.

"Hey! It's still too weak, and it's impossible to fight more with less like nagging. It seems that we must hurry up and upgrade the system level."

Sun Yi devoted himself to training, turning grief and anger into motivation.

……

After back-to-back losses to the Jazz, the entire Warriors team flew back to Oakland the next day.

The loss to the Jazz didn't frustrate the Warriors players.

Because the strength gap between the two sides is indeed too large, the Warriors, who are short of major generals at this stage, cannot win at all.

Back in Oakland, general manager Larry Riley announced good news.

Former Suns general manager Steve Kerr officially joined the Warriors as an assistant coach in player development.

For Cole's joining, the Warriors players applauded symbolically, and the management's arrangements have nothing to do with these players.

Cole didn't expect that fate would be so ingenious, and he could still coach Sun Yi, Curry and others after going around.

Although he is only an assistant coach now, he will one day become the head coach of the Warriors.

After the welcome ceremony, Cole couldn't wait to come to Sun Yi's side.

"Sun, long time no see."

"Mr. Cole, long time no see."

After the two greeted each other, they exchanged a few words, and then went to attend to their respective affairs.

"At this stage, Sun's functions are too single, and it is a waste. I must dig out all his talents."

Cole made up his mind, went to the office, and began to make a plan to train Sun Yi.

Sun Yi didn't know that he was being targeted, and even if he knew, he would actively cooperate with Cole, after all, he also wanted to become stronger quickly.

The training time always flies by quickly, and it is game day again in a blink of an eye.

After a day off, the Warriors host the Chicago Bulls.

At this stage, Derrick Rose has not yet become the youngest MVP, but his strength should not be underestimated, and he has already shown his edge.

This season, he can average 22.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, and his strength seems to have reached the All-Star level.

During the warm-up activities, Sun Yi looked at the "roses" that were gradually blooming, and felt silently for the primary school students in his heart.

I met two big guys one after another, and their styles were not the same. I don't know if Shaku did something outrageous and unreasonable, so he was so unlucky.

"I hope that Shaku will still be strong after this game."

Sun Yi didn't think much, and continued with the warm-up activities.

Not long after, the game officially started.

Not long after the match started, it was as Sun Yi expected.

Rose, who was not seriously injured, dribbled and broke through extremely sharply. He didn't need the help of his teammates at all, and easily passed Curry and rushed into the interior with one step.

Sun Yi rushed back to the penalty area to defend, but he couldn't stop Rose who was flying into the sky and escaping from the ground.

This guy is so fast!
Although unable to prevent the Bulls' offense, the Warriors made up for it from the offensive end.

In this game, the Warriors players regained their form and felt warmer.

Relying on smooth running and gunning, the Warriors and Bulls were inseparable.

When the game progressed to about 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Bulls led by 2 points.

I thought I could reach the final decisive moment.

But at this time Rose stood up strongly and scored 5 points with sudden shots to widen the point difference.

The Warriors wanted to attack from the outside, but Curry and Morrow's three-pointers hit the iron one after another, losing the best opportunity to chase points.

In the end, the Warriors lost to the Bulls 101-108 and suffered a two-game losing streak.

孙逸表现得还算不错，在上场的36分钟内，得到了18分14篮板7助攻2抢断的全面数据。

In this game, his opponent Gibson was also a rookie in 09.

Against such a rookie, Sun Yi, who has rich game experience, played very easily.

Curry played fairly well. He adjusted his state and didn't pull his hips as much as in the previous game.

In 32 minutes of playing, he scored 17 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds.

After losing to the Bulls, all members of the Warriors rushed to Detroit overnight without stopping to play back-to-back against the Pistons.

In the game against the Pistons, the Warriors also dragged the game into the decisive moment.

With 15 seconds left in the game, the Pistons led by only 2 points and the Warriors had the ball.

After returning from the timeout, Sun Yi received the pass and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.

The other four Warriors quickly moved without the ball.

Due to the Warriors' excellent outside line in this game, the Pistons expanded their defense and mainly defended three-pointers.

Seeing that his teammates had no chance to escape, Sun Yi could only complete the lore by himself.

In order to be conservative, Sun Yi broke through to the inside and did not bet on the three-pointer.

When the Pistons players saw Sun Yi breaking through to the basket, they immediately retracted towards the penalty area.

Sun Yi, who made a breakthrough with the dribble, saw that the Pistons players had double-teamed him, but he wanted to pass the ball but there was no space.

Seeing that the time was approaching, he could only face the defense of Prince and Ben Wallace and make an emergency stop and fallback jumper.

"when!"

The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
In the end, the Warriors lost to the Pistons 96-98 and suffered a three-game losing streak.

Deafening cheers and shouts erupted in the auditorium.

The home team fans were thankful that the Pistons survived.

On the field, Sun Yi froze in place, looked at his hands, wondering what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Curry ran over to comfort him that Sun Yi came back to his senses.

"Thank you Stephen, I'm fine."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he went straight to the player tunnel.

All great players go through such losses, and only when they are strong can they not feel the grief again.

After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Sun Yi deliberately found a nearby court to practice shooting.

He doesn't want the same thing to happen in the future.

……

……

The next day, on the "Barkley Talk Show," Barkley and Kenny Smith chatted about the Warriors' recent performance.

"After the Warriors lost to the Pistons today, they suffered a three-game losing streak, and their ranking has dropped to the bottom two in the Western Conference.

The lack of core player Monta Ellis has had a great impact on the Warriors. It seems that they are going to go the same way as last season. "

Kenny Smith was the first to express his views.

"Kenny, I don't agree with you. The Warriors have been playing a playoff-level team during this period. They played pretty well without core players, and the Warriors joined Sun and Stephen. After becoming a new look, I am very optimistic about their future." Barkley expressed his views.

"Charles, then I have to hit you again. The statistics from these games show that Sun and Stephen Curry's personal statistics have a clear downward trend, and they may encounter a rookie wall."

Kenny Smith looked at the data sheet and analyzed it with reason.

According to big data analysis, after the rookie has played almost six games, the first challenge will be ushered in.

At this time, the head coaches of each team have a certain understanding of this group of rookies who have just joined the league, and have formulated some targeted measures for some key targets.

"Oh, since you are so optimistic about the Warriors, let's take a gamble."

Kenny Smith gradually lured Barkley into the bait.

"Oh, let's hear it, I think it's worth the bet."

With the lessons learned, Barkley will not be easily fooled.

"The Warriors will play against the Mavericks in the next game. These two teams will definitely have some different sparks, you know."

"Kenny, let me think about it." After Barkley finished speaking, he thought about it seriously.

He and Kenny Smith partnered as commentators. Kenny Smith always cheated him, and he had never cheated anyone else.

This time, he felt that Kenny Smith suffered a lot.

"Kenny, let me make a bet, how about you make a bet?"

Kenny Smith thought about it and agreed to Barkley's proposal.

If the bet goes against him, the punishment will be reduced; otherwise, the punishment will be increased.

"Kenny, if the Warriors upset the Mavericks in the next game or Sun can score 30 points, how about I win as long as I complete one goal?" Barkley proposed a bet.

"No, no, no, this is obviously unfair, I have to make some changes before agreeing." Kenny Smith shook his head and said.

"Well, let's talk about it first."

"If all the above two conditions are fulfilled, you will win. Otherwise, I will win. If only one of the conditions is fulfilled, it will be considered a tie without any penalty. How about it?"

"Where's the bet? What's the bet?" Barkley didn't agree immediately, and asked about the bet just to be on the safe side.

"The bet is kissing the pig's ass, okay?"

"No, I don't agree!" Barkley immediately objected.

Kenny Smith ignored it, nodded and said, "I agree! Charles' objection is invalid, so it's settled!"

At the same time, fans in front of the TV were excited.

They love to watch such excitement, and have made reservations for tomorrow's game between the Warriors and the Mavericks. They look forward to seeing one of these two guys cash in their bet after the game.
