Chapter 614 Experience Baby
Chapter 614 Experience Baby
On the 7th, after defeating the Clippers, the Warriors returned to San Francisco overnight, preparing to face the Spurs back-to-back the next day.
At this time, the game has entered the second half, the score is 82:77, and the Spurs temporarily lead by 5 points.
Judging from the score alone, the two teams should be evenly matched, but in fact, as far as the situation on the court is concerned, the Warriors are being beaten by the Spurs, especially for Divac, they are not evenly matched.
Tonight, the Warriors' three outside guns are still full of firepower, and the outside iron gate that the Spurs have spent a lot of energy building is like a sieve, which is completely what they want.
Poor Spurs, this summer specially signed Paul Plessy, a defensive champion who has played for the Bucks for 8 years, and Rod Strickland and Sean Elliott have improved the Spurs' perimeter defense It has reached a very powerful point, but unfortunately it is still useless.
But even so, the Warriors are still lagging behind. Needless to say, the reason is, of course, that the Spurs cannot limit the inside combination of David Robinson and Terry Cummings.
Especially David Robinson, the core of the Spurs, Divac is like a stake in front of him, and Robinson can hit whatever he wants!
Of course, this is not to blame for Divac, after all, he has tried his best, it’s not that we don’t work hard, it’s really the opposite side!
Speaking of the concept of David Robinson, many domestic fans may not understand what kind of animal this is.
When he first entered the league, Pat Riley said of him: "This kid is an evolved version of Bill Russell."
Bill Simmons evaluated him as: "Magician, Bird, West, and Jordan are all MVPs, but this guy is everything. He is the most influential player in the league after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. player."
Listen, for a rookie to get such an evaluation, those who don't know think they are killing him on purpose!
But this one has Gilmore's altitude, Russell's defense, Chamberlain's strength and agility, Parish's running and jumping, Dameng's footsteps and agility, can you imagine what kind of monster it is?
Anyway, Divac is not only imagining it now, but also experiencing it.
Robinson, who entered the second year of his career, has further matured his skills and body. Although his strength was already very strong last year, he feels that he has evolved again this year.
In this way, playing Divac is even more handy.
In the case of the same height, the wingspan is not as good as the opponent, the strength is not as good as the opponent, the speed is not as good as the opponent, and the bounce is not as good as the opponent.
This is only in terms of physical talent. Technically, he is not as good as his opponent in defense, not as good as his footsteps, not as good as his opponent in singles, and even worse than his opponent in shooting.
It can be said that, except for three-pointers and passing, Divac has almost no aspects to beat his opponents.
In this situation, Divac believes that he has been able to persist until now, and has not been defeated by the opponent's confidence, because he is already strong in his heart.
However, no matter how strong the heart is, it cannot withstand repeated frictions, and it will eventually fall completely, surrender, and groan!
Facing Robinson's singles again, Divac was already working very hard to defend, but Robinson just hit the back twice, and quickly turned around and made a jumper. The speed was fast and accurate. Divac was unable to block the shot, and the basketball was stable Fall into the basket.
This goal is like a microcosm of tonight's game. The Spurs' inside line is so whatever they want, and the Warriors can't give them any defensive pressure at all.
Of course, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of the team lineup. Of course Nelson knows that the Spurs cannot play like this, but no one can match Robinson!
If you play a small lineup, you will only be further punished by Robinson, and you can't even train Robinson on the offensive end. You must know that Robinson's speed is not good in front of him.
For others, before Malone came back, there was only Antonio Davis. Not to mention that he was still a first-year rookie, but with his height of 206cm, he could only watch Robinson score in defense.
In this way, although the Warriors scored in double figures tonight with 6 players, including Richmond with 31 points, Li Weisi with 24 points and 11 assists, and Mullin with 24 points and 9 assists, the team still lost to the Spurs 128:134 at home.
David Robinson played 40 minutes and scored 42 points and 18 rebounds, crushing the Warriors in both points and rebounds.
After all, Rodman only grabbed 16 rebounds in this game, and he also lost to his opponent in rebounding.
Of course, except for Robinson, the Spurs played equally well. Elliott and Cummings both scored 23 points, which provided strong help to Robinson, and all five starters also scored in double figures.
Not long after the Warriors swallowed their first loss of the season, the Bulls also won their first win of the season.
This time, Jordan still encountered the old enemy Celtics.
The last match between the two teams was just 3 days ago. In that game, with Larry Bird's lore, the Celtics interpreted what it means to be your uncle or your uncle!
However, Jordan, who is narrow-minded, does not take revenge. This time he has the opportunity to face the Celtics again. He swept away his reasonable play in the previous game and turned into a "team cancer". team.
Today's Celtics are not only old on the inside, relying on 37-year-old Robert Parish and 33-year-old Michael Hale to survive, but there is no one on the outside.
Danny Ainge was traded, and Dennis Johnson completely retired after playing last season. For a while, the Celtics were weak on the outside, small and small, and no one could match Jordan who turned on the unparalleled mode.
In the end, Jordan scored 41 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in three quarters, and left work early. The team defeated the Celtics 120:100 and succeeded in revenge.
Although the current record of this old Celtics team is not bad, but the flaws in their team lineup are too serious, the transaction has reached the point where it is imperative, if there is no big move, no one will be optimistic about Kyle The prospects for the Washington Postseason.
After defeating the Celtics, the Bulls seemed to have opened up the second line of Ren and Du. They defeated the Bullets, Hornets, and Jazz successively, and achieved a wave of four consecutive victories. level.
On the other hand, after the Warriors lost to the Spurs, although they immediately defeated the Eagles 143:128, the team lost 128 points again. This is definitely not a normal situation.
The Warriors originally defended in the middle of the league, but after these few games, they have conceded an average of 127.75 points per game, ranking first in the league's defensive efficiency, and far ahead of the second last.
Such a state can't help but make people wonder, how long can this momentum of losing points last?
The Warriors won't just grow up to be data-experienced babies for other teams, will they?
