I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 137 The beginning of the gun scandal

On December 12, all members of the Warriors came to New Orleans.

Tonight they will challenge the Hornets led by queen bee Chris Paul.

The composition of this Hornets team has changed from last season.

During the offseason, the Hornets management messed up and traded for Okafor with the inside gatekeeper Tyson Chandler.

As the No. 04 pick in [-], Okafor's data is indeed better than Chandler's, but the effect on the field cannot be compared with the "Champion".

Chandler has excellent athletic ability, excellent wingspan, outstanding single defense ability, and equally excellent help defense awareness. He is an absolute inside gate.

However, Okafor's movement speed is too slow, and his height and wingspan do not have an advantage, so he cannot protect the frame to protect the penalty area.

This deal initially seemed like a win-win situation, but problems gradually emerged after the start of the new season.

After the start of the new season, the problem of the Hornets' inside defense was exposed, which led to a sharp decline in the overall defense and affected the record.

Since the start of the game, the Hornets have only achieved a record of 8 wins and 10 losses, with a winning percentage of less than [-]%. The record is worse than that of the Warriors, ranking tenth in the West.

Faced with such a poor record, Paul was unwilling and complained about the team's tactical system. He felt that only playing pick-and-roll tactics would not go far and needed to be changed.

Hornets coach Scott believed that Paul's view was wrong and challenged his authority as head coach.

As a result, a gap formed between the master and the apprentice, and the contradiction deepened day by day.

Faced with internal and external troubles, the Hornets players simply could not devote their energy to the game.

On the other hand, the Warriors have won three consecutive games, their morale is high, and they are bound to win this game.

After the game started, the Warriors players quickly entered the state, accelerated their offensive and defensive speed, and blossomed more on the outside.

The Hornets relied on Paul and David West's pick-and-roll cooperation to chase points.

But as the game progressed, the Warriors gradually got used to the Hornets' pick-and-roll tactics and found a way to crack it.

After the pick-and-roll tactics can't be played, they can only rely on Paul and West's personal ability to play singles.

Paul definitely had an advantage against rookie Curry. He hit every shot accurately, and used small moves on the defensive end to disrupt the rhythm of the primary school students, giving Curry a hard lesson.

West is not so lucky. Facing Sun Yi's defense, he only has the advantage of height and is at a disadvantage in other aspects.

Originally, this guy wanted to use his rich game experience and superb inside footwork to tease today's popular rookies, but he didn't expect to be educated in the opposite direction.

Relying on his wingspan and jumping, as well as his understanding of West's style of play, Sun Yi gave this guy a few big hits.

Therefore, the Hornets can only chase points with Paul alone.

But Paul is limited by his physical condition and cannot lead the team to victory on his own like Jordan, Kobe and others.

When Paul's physical strength declined and his shooting percentage dropped, the Hornets had no players who could stand up and score, and the offense was paralyzed.

The Warriors seized the opportunity and blossomed in an all-round way, making frequent three-pointers from the outside.

Even if they miss the shot, Sun Yi, Randolph and others can rush to grab the offensive rebound, and then succeed in the second attack.

The Hornets' two insiders, West and Okafor, are short insiders and cannot withstand the Warriors' impact.

Moreover, the Hornets' internal defense is too weak, making Ellis a sieve, making it impossible for the Hornets to limit Xiao Gongju's scoring.

In this way, the Warriors maintained their lead until the end of the game.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Hornets 112 to 94 and achieved four consecutive victories.

In terms of statistics, this time the best player in the game was won by Ellis.

Xiao Gongju finally suppressed the two rookies Sun Yi and Curry, proving that he is still the leader of the Warriors.

在上场的40分钟内，砍下了36分2篮板3助攻3抢断的全面数据。

Sun Yi scored a quasi-triple-double of 17 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks.

Curry was scolded by Paul and only scored 13 points and 6 assists.

For the Hornets, the best player is Paul.

这家伙在上场的42分钟内，砍下了24分3篮板11助攻2抢断的两双数据。

After the game against the Hornets, all members of the Warriors returned to Oakland to welcome their next opponent.

On December 12, the Warriors faced the Mosaics at home.

Since Dayao was actively undergoing recovery training, he did not come to Oakland with the team.

Sun Yi felt a little sorry for this, and could only wait for Dayao to come to Auckland to play a game next time to fulfill his friendship as a landlord.

Immediately, he devoted his energy to this game.

After the start of the game, the two teams played inextricably, taking the lead alternately, and no one was able to widen the gap.

When the game entered the last 2 minutes or so of the fourth quarter, the Mosaic team held a 5-point lead and had a high chance of winning.

But they didn't have core players to stand up and score at the critical moment, and they failed to keep the lead.

The Warriors relied on Curry's chasing three-pointer and Ellis' breakthrough layup to quickly recover the point difference.

At the last moment, Scola played Sun Yi with his back. When he turned around, Sun Yi cut off the basketball and missed the opportunity to regain the lead.

After Sun Yi successfully stole the ball, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt, rushed into the penalty area, attracted the defense and scored the ball.

Curry in the bottom corner on the left received the pass and hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand, leading the score.

Originally, the Mosaic team still had time to catch up with the score, but they made another mistake.

Battier quickly served the ball from the bottom line and vigorously flicked the ball forward, trying to get his teammates who hadn't retreated back into a quick break.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi, who was running towards the backcourt, judged where the ball fell, and rushed over immediately.

Just as Scola was about to catch the ball and turn around to shoot, he saw a guy wearing the Warriors' No. 9 jersey jump up and snatch the basketball in the air first.

"how is this possible?!"

Scola was dumbfounded and could only commit a tactical foul and send Sun Yi to the free throw line.

With the cheers of the fans in the audience, Sun Yi took the basketball from the referee and made two free throws steadily, widening the point difference to 5 points.

The Mosaic team had no timeout and hurriedly sent out a baseline kick.

After receiving the ball, Brooks quickly dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line. He missed a three-pointer against Curry's defense and completely lost the chance to chase points.

Sun Yi grabbed the rebound, rushed across the half court quickly, held the ball in his arms and stopped playing, waiting for the end of the game.

With the screeching beep, the game is over.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Mosaic team 108 to 103 and achieved five consecutive victories.

In terms of statistics, Sun Yi won the honor of the best player of the game.

在上场的42分钟内，砍下了25分11篮板7助攻3抢断的全面数据。

Two steals at critical moments made him the most handsome player in the game.

库里则命中了5记三分球，得到了21分2篮板6助攻1抢断的全面数据。

After this game, the Warriors gained their longest winning streak since the start of the season.

I thought that the winning streak could continue, but the next game was beaten miserably, and I realized the reality again.

On December 12, the Warriors came to Boston to challenge the Celtics away from home.

This season, all members of the Big Three of the Celtics remain healthy. Since the start of the game, they have played an excellent record of 16 wins and 4, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

It is simply too difficult for the Warriors to win this game away.

After the start of the game, the Celtics showed their strength and have been suppressing the Warriors.

Paul Pierce is in good shape, showing his comprehensive offensive ability and frequently scoring jumpers with step-backs.

On the Warriors' side, only Ellis can score stably by relying on his personal ability, and others can only get the chance to score through cooperation.

Sun Yi and Curry were closely guarded by the Celtics. There was no chance to shoot openly, so they could only shoot against the defense.

But the Celtics' overall defense was so good that neither of them shot more than [-]%.

After strangling the Warriors' scoring points, the Celtics quickly opened up the point difference through tacit teamwork.

Originally, the Warriors wanted to struggle and look for some shooting opportunities from the outside.

But the Celtics didn't care about martial ethics and directly raised their defensive intensity to the playoff level to contain the Warriors' counterattack.

In this way, the Celtics kept their lead until the end.

In the end, the Warriors lost to the Celtics 88-104, ending their five-game winning streak.

Sun Yi was "taken care of" by Garnett throughout this game and his performance was quite satisfactory.

In 36 minutes of playing, he scored 15 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

If he encounters Garnett in his prime, he may not even be able to score in double figures.

Curry also encountered Rondo's strict defense and only scored 14 points and 5 assists.

After the game against the Celtics, the Warriors players rushed to Miami without stopping before they could recover from the disastrous defeat.

In the game against the Heat, Wade was in great form. He was almost like Jordan, who is 5 centimeters shorter. He could shoot no matter what he wanted. He shut down the two defensive black holes of Curry and Ellis.

Seeing this, Nelson immediately made adjustments, and Sun Yi was ordered to defend Wade when he was in danger.

Although the effect was much better than those two buddies, it still couldn't limit the "Flash" to score.

In the end, Wade scored 45 points to lead the Heat to a 98-90 victory over the Warriors.

数据统计方面，孙逸在上场的40分钟内，得到了22分11篮板7助攻2盖帽的全面数据。

Curry performed fairly well, scoring 18 points and 6 assists.

After this game, the Warriors got a precious two days of rest and returned to Oakland to recharge their batteries and recover.

On December 12, the Warriors, who had a two-day rest, played against the Pacers at home.

The Warriors players, who have been recharging their energy, have recovered and entered the state at the beginning, occupying the initiative on the field.

The Warriors speeded up the offensive rhythm by playing run-and-gun tactics, which made the Pacers' big center Hibbert useless and even dragged down.

The Pacers can only chase points in singles through Granger.

But under Sun Yi's death grip, Granger transformed into an Indiana blacksmith and hit the basket with a bang.

The Warriors took the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack, preventing the Pacers' "Gao Yuanyuan" from returning to defense. They played more and less and scored frequently, widening the point difference in one fell swoop and confirming their lead.

Until the end of the game, the Pacers failed to recover the score.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Pacers 115-104, ending their two-game losing streak.

Sun Yi's energy in this game was basically devoted to defense, and the statistics he obtained were mediocre.

Therefore, Curry won the best player of the game.

在上场的38分钟内，三分球9投6中，砍下了28分2篮板6助攻2抢断的全面数据。

After this game, the Warriors once again ushered in a wave of road trips.

During this road trip, they defeated the Timberwolves and Kings, and then lost to the Jazz and Grizzlies, achieving a record of 2 wins and 2 losses.

On December 12, when all members of the Warriors returned to Oakland by plane, an event that shocked the league was happening quietly.

During the Wizards' entire journey back to Washington on a private jet.

Second-year rookies Crittenton and McGee entered the game.

However, Crittenton was very unlucky. After a few games, he lost $1100 to McGee.

Crittenton, who lost the money, did not let McGee go easily. He asked McGee to pay him back the money he owed his friend Boykins.

But McKee's brain circuit is abnormal, and he thinks that he will wait until the next flight to pay, which is the rule they made when playing cards.

Crittenton, a stunned young man, refused to let it go, and continued to quarrel with McGee.

Just as they were arguing, team boss Arenas stepped forward and wanted to act as a peacemaker to stop them from making a fuss on the plane.

Annoyed, Crittenton immediately quit and pointed the finger at Arenas, and then there was a fierce quarrel, and they spoke harshly to each other.

"You have made so much money, of course you don't care about these hundreds of dollars. If you say one more thing, I will shoot you." Crittenton roared angrily.

Arenas immediately fought back: "Little rookie, I will bring a gun and let you hit me."

Wizards general manager Ernie Groenfeld felt that the two men did not take their angry words seriously, and stepped forward to stop the farce.

But Groenfeld did not expect that this farce would evolve into a sensational gun incident in the league, and the Wizards, who are the favorites to win the championship, fell to the bottom.

……

……

On December 12, the Warriors returned to home against the Mavericks.

In this game, the Mavericks changed from their previous state and showed the strength of a strong team in the playoffs.

Under Nowitzki's leadership, the Mavericks quickly established a lead.

The master of court control, Kidd, firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, giving the Warriors no chance of a comeback.

In the end, the Warriors lost to the Mavericks 94 to 108 and suffered a three-game losing streak.

In terms of statistics, Sun Yi scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks.

Curry scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

After the game against the Mavericks, the Warriors will begin preparations for the upcoming Christmas Day game.

The Christmas Day battle between the Warriors and Lakers is about to begin!
