I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 147

On January 1, the Warriors sat at home and defeated the visiting Clippers without bloodshed, ushering in the team's first victory in 1.

The Warriors played very easily in this game, which once again verified that the "elevator door" tactic is indeed a forbidden technique.

As soon as such a new tactic came out, other teams could not find a strategy to deal with it in a short period of time, so the effect was very good.

Originally, the Clippers didn't pay attention to the Warriors' weird tactics, and had the mentality that even if you shoot to death, I will accept it.

But when Curry and Ellis took turns bombing from outside the three-point line, the Clippers players began to panic.

They suddenly understood a truth: three-pointers can really kill the game!
As a result, the Clippers began to expand their defense, targeting the Warriors' three-pointers.

For the Clippers' temporary change of defensive strategy, the Warriors had expected it, and then activated alternate tactics.

Through the "elevator door" tactic, the Clippers' penalty area was emptied, and Sun Yi, Maggette and others took turns cutting into the basket and hitting the basket.

The Clippers' two inside players move relatively slowly, and it is difficult to rush back to defend after being taken out of the penalty area.

As for the other Clippers players, they rushed back just to deliver food to Sun Yi and Maggette. The height and weight gap was too big to prevent them at all.

After the score was drawn, the Clippers players were very straightforward and gave up the game directly, without the energy to catch up with the point difference.

Anyway, their goal this season is to play poorly, just play casually, and the typical work is not hard.

The Warriors players were happy to see the results, and they did not embarrass the Clippers, maintaining a lead of more than ten points.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 124 to 106 and won two consecutive victories.

In terms of statistics, 5 Warriors scored in double figures.

Sun Yi scored a triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

库里三分球9投4中，轰下21分3篮板5助攻的全面数据。

Ellis scored a team-high 25 points, plus 2 assists and 2 steals.

Maggette had 12 points and 4 rebounds; Randolph had a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

For the Clippers, the best player is Eric Gordon.

在上场的36分钟内，砍下了28分2篮板3助攻1抢断的全面数据。

In the new year and new weather, after the Warriors defeated the Clippers, their record ranking returned to eighth in the Western Conference. The players were in a very good mood and their morale was extremely high.

On January 1, the Warriors played at home against the visiting Celtics.

Paul Pierce took a rest in this game, and the Celtics' strength was greatly reduced.

But the Celtics are the favorites for the championship after all. Even if Pierce is absent, the overall strength of the team is higher than that of the Warriors.

What is unexpected is that after the absence of Uncle Pi, the Wolf King, who played health-preserving basketball this season, suddenly backed up.

Garnett is very concerned about Sun Yi's remarks in an interview with media reporters.

In his mind, he felt that he was the number one power forward in history.

Therefore, in this game, Garnett will use his own strength to make Sun Yi, a rookie, change his mind.

After the game started, Garnett's desire to attack was very high, showing his comprehensive offensive skills and catching Sun Yi off guard.

Sun Yi was a little confused. He didn't know what kind of medicine Garnett took wrongly. He played very actively on both offense and defense.

After adapting to the wolf king's attack, Sun Yi turned the situation around and gradually gained the upper hand.

After all, Garnett is 33 years old, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be.

The Warriors took the opportunity to narrow the point difference. They first used run-and-gun tactics to speed up the offensive rhythm and consume the opponent's energy. Then they used "elevator door" tactics to open up outside attacks and allow the opponent to change their defensive strategies.

At the beginning, the Warriors played the "elevator door" tactic, which made the Celtics a little blind and couldn't find a way to limit it.

After some observation, they made a series of targeted defenses.

But the Warriors can play too many tactics, immediately changed their offensive tactics, and once again took the initiative on the field.

Seeing that the Celtics were about to lose their game, Ray Allen stepped forward and hit consecutive three-pointers to narrow the point difference.

But the Warriors have already boosted their morale, and at critical moments there are always players who stand up and score, suppressing the Celtics' counterattack.

Garnett felt a little depressed when he saw the situation on the field.

He didn't achieve his goal of teaching Sun Yi a lesson, and found that the rookie had unknowingly brushed up the data, and there was no way to completely restrict it. He could only find other opportunities to make the rookie change his mind.

In the subsequent games, Ray Allen's shooting percentage dropped and he failed to continue his offensive firepower.

Garnett was restrained by Sun Yi and couldn't score easily.

Rondo has no shooting ability, was targeted to defend, and hit the iron one after another on the outside.

After the Celtics' Big Three were unable to score, the team's offense was paralyzed.

The Warriors took the opportunity to speed up their offensive rhythm, scored frequently in the chaotic battle, played a wave of offensive climax, and completely widened the point difference to seal the victory.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Celtics 102 to 89 and won three consecutive victories.

In terms of statistics, 4 Warriors scored in double figures.

孙逸在上场的40分钟内，砍下了16分6篮板14助攻2盖帽的全面数据。

Under Garnett's strict defense, Sun Yi's scoring dropped, and he was able to score in double figures because he took advantage of the decline in Wolf King's physical strength to steal a few points, otherwise his scoring would hit a new career low.

Curry scored 17 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

Under Rondo's defense, it was difficult for him to run out of opportunities. He could only rely on the "elevator door" tactic to score a few three-pointers and improve his personal data.

Ellis, the young public, won the honor of the best player of the game.

在上场的42分钟内，三分球8投4中，砍下了28分3助攻2抢断的全面数据。

Morrow scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

After the "elevator door" tactic came out, the outside players of the Warriors benefited a lot. They got very good shooting opportunities. As long as they grasp it, scoring in double figures is not a problem.

For the Celtics, Garnett was the best player.

在上场的38分钟内，砍下了18分8篮板6助攻2盖帽的全面数据。

Ray Allen scored a team-high 21 points, plus 3 assists.

Rondo was targeted by the Warriors, and his shooting percentage was extremely poor. He only scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

After this game, the Warriors will embark on a road trip again.

……

……

As the games started in January, various teams in the league suffered from injuries one after another, which greatly affected the team's record.

The Warriors have a relatively easy schedule in January, and most of the players are young people, with few injuries.

At the same time, Biedrins, who was injured in the preseason, returned from injury.

This is good news for the Warriors.

After Biedrins returned, the old Nelson did not let this guy return to the starting lineup, but started from the bench to find his status.

Nelson didn't want Biedrins to ruin the chemistry the Warriors had finally built when he returned.

Biedrins has no complaints about the arrangement.

During the recovery period, Biedrins understood that he was dispensable to the Warriors.

If he doesn't work hard to show his worth, then he is likely to be swept out by the Warriors.

Therefore, after Biedrins came back, he completely changed his mind and trained hard to return to his peak condition.

Just when the Warriors were thriving and felt that life was promising, the "Gun Gate" incident that shocked the United States was finally reported by all-pervasive media reporters.

According to the revelations of a certain player of the Wizards, the whole process of the whole thing was restored.

The fuse of the incident happened before Christmas. In order to help McGee, Arenas had a verbal conflict with Crittenton. Both parties threatened to bring guns to the locker room to solve the problem.

At first, no one on the Wizards team took this farce seriously, thinking that it was just a joke between the two sides to vent their grievances.

Unexpectedly, in the Wizards locker room two days later, Arenas and Crittenton completed the "agreement".

Arenas stood in front of his locker, which displayed four firearms.

Crittenton stood in front of his locker, with his back to Arenas.

"Hey, rookie, come here and choose one."

Arenas pointed at the gun and said excitedly to Crittenton, "I'll use one of them to fuck you!"

"Oh no, I don't need to hit me with one of those guns because I like to use my own."

Crittenton was not afraid at all. After speaking, he took out his gun from his locker, loaded it in front of the Wizards, and pointed it at Arenas.

Arenas panicked immediately. He just wanted to scare Crittenton, but he didn't expect that this stupid young man would actually take it seriously.

The Wizards players who had been booing before saw something bad happened. No one thought it was a joke and rushed out of the locker room.

After the Wizards coach Philip Saunders learned of the incident, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Originally, the Wizards' lineup this year could compete for the championship, and their record this season was very good.

But something like this happened, and he knew that his original plan had failed.

Immediately, Sanders called the security and entered the locker room together. After some persuasion, Arenas and Crittenton calmed down and stopped the farce.

In order to minimize the impact of this farce, Wizards general manager Glenn Field asked the players to keep their mouths shut and not spread it out.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. There are many witnesses to this incident, and it is impossible to hide it. In the end, it was dug out by media reporters with ulterior motives.

As the "gun door" incident was widely reported by the media, it immediately caused an uproar.

Originally, the outside world was very disgusted with this group of black players who earned high salaries and lived a luxurious life.

When the "gun scandal" broke out, it immediately aroused great dissatisfaction with the NBA from the outside world.

Various scandals related to the NBA have been exposed, and external public opinion has had a huge negative impact on the NBA league.

NBA commissioner David Stern was furious when he learned of the incident for the first time.

The positive energy image he managed to establish for the NBA is likely to be destroyed.

Immediately, Stern immediately summoned the league executives to discuss overnight how to minimize the impact of this incident.

After some discussion, the alliance quickly made a series of measures.

First, punish the two protagonists of the "Gun Gate" incident.

Arenas and Crittenton will be suspended for the rest of the season, with a combined ban of up to 100 games.

This is another heavyweight ticket issued by the league after the Palace of Auburn Hills incident.

Secondly, the league announced a ban on guns, prohibiting players from bringing guns into the stadium.

Finally, the alliance arranged a series of public welfare activities to create a positive image and recover the losses.

These measures are just a drop in the bucket, and more needs to be done to restore the image of the league.

David Stern felt like he was at the end of his rope and couldn't wait for the All-Star Weekend to undo the damage.

At the same time, after learning of the league's punishment, the general manager of the Wizards, Glenn Field, knew that the Wizards were completely over, and decided to trade away all the players for reconstruction.

The Warriors, who traded for the Wizards' 2011 first-round pick in the summer, became an indirect beneficiary.

There really is such a thing as pie in the sky!
……

……

On January 1, all members of the Warriors came to the cold Minnesota.

Tonight they will challenge the Timberwolves away from home.

In the locker room before the game, most of the Warriors players talked about the recent "gun scandal" incident.

"Arenas and Crittenton, these two idiots, are simply discrediting black athletes." Lagabel said angrily.

Ellis nodded, and echoed: "These two guys are really simple-minded, with well-developed limbs. They are looking for death for firing a gun for a mere $1!"

Other Warriors players nodded in agreement.

Sun Yi did not express his own views. After all, different cultures may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Not long after, Nelson led the coaching staff into the locker room and interrupted the players' conversation.

"I hope this doesn't happen in my team. If I see any signs of it, I'll make sure the guy packs up and leaves."

Nelson sounded the alarm to the Warriors players to prevent this kind of bad incident from happening again.

Later, Nelson got down to business, once again emphasized the tactics for the next game, and then led the players out of the locker room and headed to the competition venue.

After the start of the game, the Timberwolves did not cause too much trouble for the Warriors.

The Timberwolves have been unswervingly bad this season, and the players have been shamelessly brushing up on statistics and not caring about the record at all.

The Warriors players were happy to see the result and played very easily. Before they even came up with the "elevator door" tactics, the Timberwolves surrendered.

In this way, the Warriors maintained their 20-point lead until the end of the game.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 123 to 100, winning four consecutive victories.

In terms of statistics, 6 Warriors scored in double figures.

Sun Yi only played three quarters before clocking out, scoring 17 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.

Curry made 8 of 5 three-pointers and scored 19 points and 4 assists.

艾利斯拿到21分3助攻；马盖蒂获得14分4篮板；莫罗轰下15分2助攻；兰多夫砍下12分13篮板的两双数据。

For the Timberwolves, the most outstanding player is Al Jefferson.

在上场的36分钟内，获得了22分10篮板3助攻1盖帽的全面数据。

乐福得到16分8篮板；布鲁尔拿到15分3篮板3助攻的数据。

After an away win over the Timberwolves, it bodes well for the Warriors' road trip.

Taking advantage of the high morale, the Warriors rushed to the next city to challenge the Cavaliers led by Little Emperor James away from home.
