Chapter 403 Another Victory Streak
Chapter 403 Another ten consecutive victories
On January 1, just two days after the Warriors defeated the Knicks, the Warriors played against the Rockets at home.
At this time, there are only 13 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Warriors serve the bottom line.
After Li Weisi got rid of Floyd's defense, he received the ball. Floyd had no choice but to foul and sent Li Weisi to the free throw line.
The reason is very simple. At this time, the Warriors are the leading side. The Rockets can only fight through fouls, but the opponent of the free throw is Li Weisi, which is tantamount to their death sentence in advance.
Not only that, after completing this foul, Floyd has graduated early, and the six fouls left the field.
He shook his head helplessly, and walked off the field with a dejected expression. Tonight, he performed almost perfectly. He played 40 minutes and scored a game-high 35 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block. .
Just looking at the data, people would think that Freud beat Li Weisi to the ground.
However, as long as Freud himself knew, he was the one who lost.
Li Weisi only scored 5 points in the first half, and scored 19 points in the second half to lead the team to reverse the Rockets. Oh no, plus this free throw, it should be 21 points.
Floyd came to the bench, did not sit down, but stood on the sidelines, watching Li Weisi's free throw on the court, he hoped that a miracle would happen.
"Shhhhhhhh..."
However, where are so many miracles in reality?
Floyd shook his head and sat down helplessly. Since Li Weisi joined the NBA, Floyd was dissatisfied from the very beginning, but Li Weisi convinced him bit by bit.
However, after looking directly at the gap between himself and Li Weisi, he also wanted to defeat Li Weisi by joining a strong team, but now it seems that the gap between his team and the Warriors has not narrowed, but continues to widen.
How can such a powerful warrior defeat them?
Floyd is not the only one thinking about the same problem. In this league, there are many people who want to defeat the Warriors. It's just that the Warriors today make them feel desperate.
After defeating the Rockets 121:114, the Warriors came to Sacramento the next day to challenge the Kings.
Faced with a huge price, the Kings with Danny Manning still couldn't stop the Warriors because Manning was reimbursed for the season.
Manning, who was given high hopes, only played more than 20 games this season. Manning announced that he would be reimbursed for the season because of a serious knee injury, which made the Kings management almost cry.
This champion is too pitiful!
Therefore, the Warriors beat the Kings 136:111, sending the Kings to a three-game losing streak. Facing the halfway point of the season, the Kings only have 11 wins. It seems that the Kings are a strong contender for the No. [-] pick next season.
On the 23rd, the Warriors came to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers away.
The Cavaliers this season are surprisingly strong. At this time, the Cavaliers have a record of 29 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.
The reason why the Cavaliers can improve so fast is inseparable from the growth of "Black Lightning" Kevin Johnson.
Since Price was not in the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers did not trade Kevin Johnson, which also allowed the Cavaliers to enjoy the benefits of Kevin Johnson's growth.
Kevin Johnson, who is only in the second grade, has grown into a 20+10 All-Star point guard this season and has become the team's scoring leader and assist leader.
Of course, in addition to the growth of the Cavaliers, it is not only due to "Black Lightning" alone, Brad Doherty, Ron Harper, Larry Nance and many other good players are also powerful, and this is the common It has long been the strength of the Cavaliers today.
It's a pity that even the second-ranked Cavaliers in the East still couldn't last three quarters in front of the Warriors. To be precise, it was two and a half quarters.
At the beginning of the game, the Warriors played more like at home, leading the Cavaliers by 20 points at halftime.
After the third quarter, the point difference once widened to 30 points, which directly destroyed the confidence of everyone in the Cavaliers. Facing the Warriors, "Black Lightning" had no choice but to give up.
In this way, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 142:109 away.
In this campaign, 7 Warriors scored in double figures, and all 12 players in the team scored. It is conceivable that in a game against the second place in the Eastern Conference, the Warriors turned into a training battle.
On the 25th, the Warriors' road trip came to Philadelphia. Facing the 76ers who had already lost everyone, the brave soldiers did not kill the 122ers with 113:76, a small victory over the [-]ers.
Compared with the 76ers in a few years, Malone went west, Irving retired, and the burden of this team fell on Barkley.
In the past two years, Barkley has not played badly, and has kept the 76ers in the playoffs. However, no matter how the team signs in, the team is getting farther and farther away from the championship, let alone the championship. After hitting the championship, even maintaining the playoffs has become very difficult.
In this regard, the patience of the 76ers management has also been exhausted year after year, and they no longer trust Barkley as much as they did back then.
Although they also know that Barkley is still the top star of the young generation of the league, and his value is huge, but for the transaction, they are not like before, insisting that it is not for sale.
It can only be said that the emergence of the Warriors has had a huge and comprehensive impact on the league.
On the 28th, the Warriors came to Indiana to face their third opponent in the Eastern Conference road trip, the Pacers.
The performance of the Pacers this season is very bad. Now they only have a record of 11 wins and 29 losses. Obviously, the team's strength has increased, but the record has regressed instead. It seems that they can't even make it to the playoffs.
Of course, it’s really not to blame the Pacers players for not working hard. It’s really that they have been plagued by serious injuries. In addition, they have experienced 4 coaches in just one season. Even until now, the team’s turmoil is still not end yet.
In such a team environment, how can the team win?
However, the Pacers team is not without bright spots. Due to John Long's injury, Reggie Miller, who had been a substitute for a season, finally turned around and became the starter, and through his efforts, he successfully secured the starting position .
And tonight, in the face of the mighty Warriors, the Pacers actually fought with them to the end, and the biggest contributor to this is Miller.
赛季场均16分3.9篮板3.1助攻的他，今晚居然砍下30分9助攻5篮板，完全是超水平发挥。
It's a pity that at the last moment, Li Weisi assisted Mullin and hit a key goal, making Miller's efforts fall short, and finally lost to the Warriors 112:114.
After that, on the 30th, the Warriors challenged the last opponent of their Eastern Conference road trip, the Miami Heat.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Heat 115:98 without any suspense. Not only did the Eastern Conference maintain a complete four-game winning streak, but it also allowed the team to achieve another wave of 10 consecutive victories, ending their January journey with a winning streak.
