Chapter 286
After entering February, due to the intensive schedule this season, various teams began to suffer injuries one after another.

The worst team among them is undoubtedly the Knicks.

They just won back Chris Paul, who returned from injury, and the team's second head Stoudemire suffered an injury and will be absent for more than a month.

This is not the point. The point is that other role players of the Knicks have also suffered injuries one after another, leaving only seven players who can play. They are nicknamed the "Seven Jedi Knights" by fans.

The main reasons for the "tragedies" of the Knicks are:

1. The intensive schedule of the shrinking season prevents players from getting enough rest time.

2. Knicks head coach D'Antoni likes to adopt a seven-man rotation. Players who play for too long can easily become sick from overwork.

With negative cases, there are naturally positive teaching materials.

Among the [-] teams in the league, the Warriors have done the best in terms of injury control.

Since the start of the game, Warriors players have basically not suffered serious injuries, and at most they have been affected by minor injuries and illnesses.

This is mainly because the Warriors' player rotation plan is very good.

They have too many people who can play, and most of them are young players. As long as they don't die, they are not easy to suffer injuries.

In the case of back-to-back games, the veteran players will be rested in rotation, giving the players sufficient rest time.

The implementation of these measures not only allowed the Warriors to achieve an unparalleled record, but also reduced the injury rate to a minimum, making them a sure winner.

With the lessons learned by the Knicks and the example of the Warriors, other teams have learned lessons and immediately made reasonable player rotation plans and rotation plans.

Some teams even sacrifice the team's record to give players more rest time.

They all understand a truth: in this shrinking season, the biggest winner is the one who remains!

……

As the schedule became more intensive, each team began to take turns resting its main players to recharge their batteries and prepare for the playoffs.

The Warriors, ranked No. [-] in the league, are also in trouble.

In the next game, they will encounter a devilish schedule of 6 games in 5 days.

This is an opportunity for the Warriors, as well as a challenge.

Outside experts and media have predicted that the Warriors' winning streak will be ended during this period. After all, it is too difficult.

TNT TV station understands traffic, and specially formulated a talk show to catch the enthusiasm of the Warriors' winning streak.

In the program hall, O'Neill, Barkley and others were discussing the hottest topics recently.

"The hottest topic during this period is undoubtedly the Warriors' winning streak, and fans are very concerned about whether the Warriors will continue to win.

What do you think about this question, Charles? "O'Neill threw the topic.

"I am an avid Warriors fan, and I naturally firmly believe that they will continue their winning streak, but my rationality tells me that it will be very difficult, because the Warriors will face an extremely cruel schedule next, and I hope they can survive it safely." Barkley answered worriedly. road.

Kenny Smith on the side added: "The Warriors will face a monster schedule of six days and five games, and most of the opponents are playoff teams. The possibility of overturning is very high."

"I very much hope that the Warriors can continue their winning streak. I think this is also the voice of most fans." O'Neal expressed his views.

"It's useless to say anything now, everything is left to time, and they will give results." Barkley is very open, and everything goes with the flow.

"Then we will wait and see!" Kenny Smith made the final summary.

With the broadcast of this program, it immediately aroused heated discussions among fans, and the effect exploded.

Warriors fans: "I believe that Sun Shen can lead the Warriors to overcome many difficulties, because he is omnipotent!"

Digimen fans: "The Digimen team will step on the stepping stone of the Warriors to regain their former glory!"

Mavericks fans: "You should just go to bed! Why don't you let us pick up the leaks?!"

Fans of other teams: “Do you think we don’t exist?!”

……

As the popularity continued to rise, the Warriors inadvertently became a big boss, waiting for the teams to come to challenge.

The Warriors, who were surrounded by rumors, were not affected by the outside world. At this time, they had already boarded a special plane flying to Memphis...

……

On February 2, the Warriors visited Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies.

At this stage, the Grizzlies have a record of 15 wins and 9 losses, temporarily ranking seventh in the Western Conference.

During the offseason, the Grizzlies did not make any reinforcements, and still maintained the original team from last season.

It's not that they don't want to reinforce, but that the team owner is too stingy and reluctant to spend money.

This can't be entirely blamed on the boss. After all, Memphis is a small ball market, and money is really hard to earn.

Although the Grizzlies did not make reinforcements, their strength has not decreased but increased.

Only because the young players in the team have grown up rapidly, the overall strength of the Grizzlies has improved.

But this strength is not enough to compete for the championship.

Therefore, the goal of the Grizzlies this season is very simple, just enter the playoffs and collect tickets to get back the money.

But in tonight's high-profile conflict, the Grizzlies changed their nature and went all out to win.

The Warriors are definitely unwilling to become a stepping stone to the top of the Grizzlies, and they will defend their honor to the death.

……

After a series of pre-game activities, the game officially started.

As soon as they came up, the Warriors set the tone of the game, and they did not hesitate to waste energy to speed up the offensive rhythm.

During this period, Gasol hadn't lost weight yet, and was led back and forth by the Warriors, which was quite a toss.

Moreover, under the Warriors' running and bombing tactics, Gasol Jr., the gate of the restricted area, cannot play its due role.

Another Grizzlies insider, Randolph, is also not feeling well. He failed to control his weight during the offseason, which resulted in his ups and downs in the new season and his physical fitness was not as good as before.

After being repeatedly strolled by the Warriors, Randolph had physical problems, which affected both offense and defense of the Grizzlies.

After the Grizzlies fell inside, there were also problems outside.

The aging Kidd couldn't keep up with Curry's speed, which caused the Grizzlies' perimeter defense to frequently fall.

The team's scoring leader Gay had difficulty catching the ball when he was restricted by Sun Yi, let alone shooting.

Under internal and external troubles, it is only a matter of time before the Grizzlies collapse across the board.

This process didn't take long. The Warriors seized the fleeting opportunity and bombarded the outside line, completely destroying the Grizzlies' defense.

Although the fans guessed that the Warriors would win, they did not expect the process to be like this.

They thought this game would be extremely intense and exciting, but they didn't expect the Grizzlies to be so incompetent.

Grizzlies: It's not that they are useless, it's that the opponent is too strong!

In this way, after three quarters, the Warriors gained a 25-point lead, basically winning.

In the fourth quarter, Sun Yi and other main players failed to get a chance to play, only because Clay and others were too strong, which further widened the point difference.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 116-89, winning 24 consecutive victories.
