Chapter 801 The Reincarnation of Heaven Is so Similar!

Time has entered 2017, and the Warriors have entered the New Year with a record of undefeated victory in the new season.

In the new year, the Warriors' winning streak finally ended at 36 consecutive wins.

Because in the Warriors' away game against the Grizzlies on January 6, the Warriors, who rotated Wade and Ron Howard, eventually lost to the Grizzlies 119-128 on the road.

In this game, the Grizzlies' leading big man Zach Randolph played perhaps the best performance of his career.

Coming off the bench, he made 12 of 17 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 27 points and also had 12 rebounds and 6 assists.

Not only can he score but he can also organize. Under his leadership, the Grizzlies bench scored a crazy 53 points in this game!

You know, the Warriors' bench only scored 14 points in this game, and the difference between the two sides was almost 40 points.

Although the Warriors only have 13 players this season, because all 13 players except Matt Barnes have combat effectiveness, the game can be completely rotated with 12 players, so the Warriors' bench lineup is still quite strong.

However, the rotation of Wade and Luo Ge does have a great impact on the Warriors' rotation.

After Luo Ge and Wade rotate, Jokic and Big Eyebrow will all start, and the other starter is usually Devin Booker or Carter.

Of the four important players in the rotation, two are starting. Although there are two left, the remaining two are guards and outsiders.

Neither Nong Mei nor Jokic are there, they are both in the starting lineup.

This resulted in the Warriors' rotation having no pure inside line for a period of time.

This is a huge problem.

In this game, the Grizzlies cleverly put Randolph on the bench, seizing this problematic moment for the Warriors.

By the way, the Warriors' performance in this game was actually okay.

Chen Xiao made 15 of 27 in this game and scored 40 points in the game. Klay made 7 of 17 and scored 17 points in the game. Big Eyebrow even scored 27 points in the game, and Jokic and Devin Booker also played. One double is 11 points and the other is 10 points.

There was actually no problem with the Warriors' starting lineup in this game.

Curry Jr. and Carter also scored 7 points (3 of 4) and 4 points (2 of 2) respectively in this game. In fact, there is no problem. The two shot a little less, because Randolph’s 12 rebounds Six of them were offensive rebounds, and this was Randolph alone. Let’s put it this way, when Carter and Curry led the team, the Warriors’ rebounding was completely destroyed, even if Curry and Carter were better. Well, there is no chance to take action.

So soon, the Warriors started to take control of the game. Now that they all started, Curry and Carter naturally had no chance to take action.

After all, there are Chen Xiao, Clay, Big Eyebrow, Booker, Jokic and others.

In short, it can be said that in this game against the Grizzlies, facing the Grizzlies, who are currently tenth in the Western Conference, the Warriors were targeted and then lost the game.

Before the game against the Grizzlies, the Warriors certainly hoped to win.

After all, although a 36-game winning streak is okay, it would certainly be better for the Warriors to have a longer streak.

After all, opportunities are rare.

In addition, the Grizzlies' strength is average. Although they have welcomed back Randolph and Lowry, the Grizzlies' strength this season is still good, but who would have thought that they could defeat the Warriors?

The Warriors themselves haven't thought about this problem.

So it was safe to rotate Wade and Ron Howard.

But, I didn't expect that the Grizzlies actually held back such a big move.

Of course, although it was a pity to lose this game against the Grizzlies, this way of losing is actually acceptable.

After all, the Grizzlies predicted that the Warriors would rotate Ron Howard and Wade in back-to-back away games, so they put Randolph on the bench to disrupt the Warriors.

This way of defeating the Warriors is impossible to repeat in the playoffs.

When the game comes to the playoffs, how can the Warriors rotate Wade and Ron Howard.

Therefore, so far this season, the Warriors still have only two weaknesses, and that is the slow start in the first quarter and physical fitness in the fourth quarter.

Both of these weaknesses have been exploited by the Bucks.

Although the Warriors won the game against the Bucks, they fell behind in the first and fourth quarters.

Losing the game after a 36-game winning streak is not a bad thing at all for the Warriors.

Although the Warriors have no obsession with winning streaks, winning streaks do put tremendous pressure on a team.

Never say that championship teams have no pressure. The Warriors are the champions, and they are the defending champions, but when you win consecutively, the spotlight of the United States and the world is on you, and you are so long-term by so many people. How many people can endure the constant focus of time?

In fact, most people can't stand the spotlight.

Therefore, the winning streak is still an embellishment for the Warriors.

Since it's an embellishment, just drop it.

After losing to the Grizzlies on the road, the Warriors quickly embarked on a winning streak.

The winning streak continued until January 25, when they faced the Charlotte Bobcats in back-to-back away games.

There is really nothing we can do about this game. Before playing the Bobcats, the Warriors' opponent was the Heat, and it was impossible for Wade to rest for this opponent.

Although Wade is the number one star in the history of the Heat (tied with Yao Ming), Wade is the favorite of Heat fans and is loved by Heat fans, but Wade and the Heat's management have conflicts, especially and Heat chairman Pat Riley.

When Pat Riley was unwilling to extend Wade's contract with the maximum salary after Yao Ming retired, this was definitely a humiliation for Wade.

As a top ten star in NBA history, doesn't he deserve a maximum salary in his career?

He has been taking salary cuts for the Heat throughout his career, and has never received a maximum salary in his career. He is not short of money, and he hopes to gain a status.

It's just that Pat Riley doesn't intend to give Wade such respect for the future of the team.

Then Wade left the Heat, where he had planned to stay forever.

Therefore, after leaving the Heat, out of resentment towards Pat Riley, Wade was very ruthless every time he played against the Heat. What's interesting is that when Wade played against the Heat in an away game, the Heat fans at the scene would all Switching sides to support Wade embarrassed Pat Riley.

Of course, Pat Riley is so thick-skinned that he doesn't care at all.

Therefore, it stands to reason that if the Heat and Bobcats play back-to-back, the Heat will definitely rest Wade and Luo Ge.

But in the end, Luo Ge can only be rested, and Wade needs to play.

Wade really went crazy when he played against the Heat. With the support of Chen Xiao, Wade made 14 of 31 shots and scored 48 points. In the end, he led the team to defeat the Heat 119-110.

But it's obvious that Wade got mad when he was playing against the Heat and couldn't play against the Bobcats.

After all, Wade, Luo Ge and Carter will not be able to play in back-to-back games.

In order to protect them, after all, the three of them are really old enough to need protection.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao's unwillingness, to be honest, even Chen Xiao would need to be protected by Cole.

There is really no need for Chen Xiao. After all, he has a system. He can know in advance that his body is tired without Cole and the team's physical coach noticing it.

Therefore, there is indeed no need for Chen Xiao to take turns.

In this game against the Bobcats, without Wade and the Warriors, it was still very difficult to play against the Bobcats.

The Bobcats have one of the strongest bench lineups in the league.

The Bobcats' starting lineup of Cousins, Horford, Jimmy Butler, DeRozan and Rose is also one of the best in the league. More importantly, the Bobcats can match the Warriors' points.

Therefore, this game is very difficult to win.

The Bobcats are often at a disadvantage against the Bucks, but against the Warriors, although the Bobcats are not easy to beat, they are easier to beat than the Bucks.

Because the Bucks are a true full forward and a true small lineup. For the Bucks, the Bobcats with big center Cousins ​​are really not that easy to play.

But against the Warriors, the Warriors also have big center Jokic, which is much easier to beat.

Unless the Warriors don't play Jokic.

But without Jokic and without Wade, the Warriors' starting defense will not be strong enough, and their offensive stability and game control will not be that strong.

In short, this is something that affects the whole body.

In the end, the Warriors lost their first game against an Eastern Conference team on the road.

Well, the loss in this game was the Warriors' first loss to an Eastern Conference team after half a season.

Considering the current strong background of the Eastern Conference, this record is actually very rare.

Therefore, as the head coach of the first Eastern Conference team to defeat the Warriors this season, Joe was still very proud and happy after the game.

He even said to Chen Xiao with regret: "I hope you will be the head coach of the Warriors in this game."

Boss Qiao made this very obvious. Isn't this a typical attempt to imply that he is the head coach of the US team and Chen Xiao is the head coach of the Chinese team?

Boss Qiao hopes that the two will face off in the national team.

It is said that Chen Xiao, as the head coach of the Chinese team, was indeed the beneficiary of the incident between the US team and the Serbian team in last year's Olympics. The two biggest favorites directly committed suicide by blowing each other up. As the third most popular team, the Chinese team was lucky enough to win the championship. .

Therefore, despite the fact that after the Olympics, the American media has been holding meetings between Oden, Popovich and Leonard, but in addition to their meetings, the American media is also secretly poking at the hope of revenge.

Although the US team's target of hatred during this Olympic Games was Serbia, who made the Chinese team the final champion?

In such an atmosphere, it is normal for Boss Qiao to have such thoughts.

To be honest, Chen Xiao also hopes that he can lead the national team to compete with Boss Qiao's American team.

After losing to the Bobcats on the road, the Warriors only have two games left in January at home against the Clippers and away against the Trail Blazers.

The Warriors successfully won both games. In the end, throughout January, the Warriors posted a record of 12 wins and 2 losses.

12 wins and 2 losses, this record is a good single-month record for any team in history.

However, for the Warriors this season, this record can only be said to be average.

After all, the two games the Warriors lost this season came in January.

However, even so, the Warriors still rank first in the Western Conference this month.

Therefore, for January's Player of the Month, the league still awarded the Western Conference's Player of the Month to the Warriors' G3 combination.

And this is also the Warriors' G3 combination that has won the best of the month for three consecutive games this season.

It can be said that as long as nothing unexpected happens, the MVP of the NBA regular season this season is actually very obvious.

Therefore, the major betting companies have basically closed the odds on the NBA regular season MVP.

Basically there are no surprises.

In the Eastern Conference, the Player of the Month for January was given to Dooku. Yes, the Eastern Conference was also tied for the Player of the Month this month.

The best of the month in the Eastern Conference in the first two months were Westbrook and James Harden. In the third month, Curry and Durant led the Bucks to a record of 12 wins and 2 losses.

According to the data of the two, Durant averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 57%. The data is very efficient. Durant has been synonymous with efficiency in these seasons, the most efficient and stable player in the entire league. The players are Chen Xiao, Durant and James.

Curry's data this month is 28 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 48% and a three-point shooting percentage of 44%. The important thing is that Curry averaged 5 three-pointers per game this month.

With such a shooting percentage, he can also average 5 three-pointers per game, which is also incredible.

Therefore, the entire NBA now says that the Warriors and Bucks are the two teams that are higher than all teams. There is really no problem.

All games in January are over. The Warriors' current record is 46 wins and 2 losses, while the Bucks' record is 40 wins and 6 losses. Although the two teams are similar in strength, the Bucks' record is still far behind. of.

This is mainly because the Bucks were not that concerned about their regular season record after losing to the Warriors at the beginning of the season.

In other words, neither the Warriors nor the Bucks are desperately pursuing record this season.

Well, the record data of the two teams this season is not a desperate pursuit of record. This seems to be a bit Versailles.

However, this is true.

The two teams really didn't pursue the record desperately.

The end of the games in January not only allowed the entire league to see clearly how powerful the Warriors and Bucks are, but the NBA All-Star starting lineup was also announced.

In the East, this year's All-Star starters are Milicic, Durant, and James in the frontcourt, and Curry and Rose in the backcourt.

These are the best players in the entire Eastern Conference so far this season.

Of course Westbrook and James Harden are also excellent, but their reputations are still not as good as Rose and Curry. Simply put, they still need to prove in the playoffs that they are worthy of replacing Rose in the minds of fans or experts. and Curry.

Over in the West, the All-Star starting lineup is interesting.

So much so that after the All-Stars started, the entire league was shocked.

Because the starting lineup for the Western Conference All-Stars is: Chen Xiao, Yi Jianlian, and Big Eyebrow in the frontcourt, and the backcourt is: Wade and Ron Howard.

The Warriors accounted for four of the five starters!

As for Brother Ke, in his final farewell season, just like Jordan back then, he actually missed the starting lineup!

This reincarnation of heaven is so similar!

They are exactly the same!

And after the starter came out, Chen Xiao was the one who started the game last time.

This time it was Chen Xiao who started the game!
