Chapter 624 The Road Trip
Chapter 624 The Road Trip
On November 11, the Warriors were finally able to return to their home court, and their opponent was the Nets, who were delighted to hear about it.
The Nets, which selected No. 3 pick Derek Coleman this season, thought that their team could finally soar into the sky, but they never thought that they would be 9 wins and [-] losses after the start of the game, and their record was still at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
However, Coleman's performance made him happy. He played more than ten games with the team. Coleman averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. Such data are star-level data.
The talent shown by Coleman is even more outstanding, which also makes the Nets regard Coleman as the cornerstone of the team, thinking that their team has finally hoped to rise after so many years.
Although the light looks beautiful, the current road is still very tortuous. In this scene against the Warriors, although the Nets played very tenaciously, the veteran Reggie Seuss and Chris Morris, the No. 88 pick in 4, jointly scored 50 points, still unable to prevent the team from losing.
In the end, the team lost the game 107:113.
As the future core of the team, Coleman played quite poorly in this game, scoring only 8 points and 5 rebounds, and was completely blocked by Rodman.
Of course, for Rodman, defending Coleman is simply not too handy.
As Rodman, who has been thinking about how to defend Karl Malone all day long, Coleman is a comprehensive low-profile version of the "postman". If you want to prevent him, you can easily catch him. Poor Coleman, I never thought of it , Not long after entering the league, he met his nemesis, which can be regarded as Rodman's version of welcome to the NBA.
After defeating the Nets at home, with two days off, the Warriors will face a four-game trip to the Eastern Conference. Fortunately, these opponents are not strong except for the Cavaliers.
On the 27th, the Warriors came to Washington, DC to face the Bullets.
This season, Jeff Malone, the leader of the Bullets, officially turned his head to the Rockets, and the Bullets are also entering the rebuilding phase.
In this game, the Bullets started with five players: Heywood Workman, Darnell Walker, Bernard King, Harvey Grant and Charles Jones.
It can be said that with such a lineup, it can be said that apart from Bernard King and Harvey Grant, the other players are unknown.
Even Harvey Grant's fame is not mainly based on his skills, but because he has an older brother named Horace Grant, and later left three sons, including Jeremy Grant who entered the NBA and Jerian Grant.
So, when this team needs to rely on the torn knee ligament, the 34-year-old Bernard King is the core of the offense, how can this team beat the Warriors?
In the end, the Warriors beat the Bullets 113-105 at Continental Arena in New Jersey.
Bernard King played 40 minutes and scored 39 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds. His spirit is admirable, but with his personal strength, he still couldn't change the outcome of the game.
After defeating the bullets, the Warriors rushed to Cleveland without stopping to challenge the Cavaliers back to back.
I thought that the trade of Ron Hubble, who has become a glass man, would allow the Cavaliers to give it a go, but I never thought that Hubble's injury was more like the Cavaliers' bad feng shui. The wave of injuries came roaring, sweeping the entire Cavaliers.
In this game, many players, including Holt Rod Williams and Darnell Valentine, were sidelined due to injuries. Fortunately, Kevin Johnson, Brad Doherty and Larry Nance The three main players are still there, which keeps the game in suspense until the end.
It's a pity that at the last moment of the game, Richmond received a double-team pass from Li Weisi and used a mid-range jumper to kill the Cavaliers. Doherty, who performed superbly in this game and scored 39 points and 10 rebounds, joined the team in the space. Cut group.
After leaving Cleveland, the Warriors immediately rushed to Orlando. This trip to the Eastern Conference was 5 days and 4 games. Only this day of rest can allow the Warriors to take a breather.
Soon, the time came to November 11th, and the Warriors came to the Orlando Arena, which had just been built in 30, to challenge the Magic away.
After trading Mark Price last year, the Magic's poor performance won them a No. 203 pick and used him to select Dennis Scott, who is [-]cm tall.
This rookie has excellent shooting ability and is considered a tall shooter, but his athletic ability is mediocre and his functions are relatively simple. He is a good championship puzzle, but he is obviously not a cornerstone player.
Therefore, although his data is good, it cannot lead the team to win.
Against the Warriors in this scene, as a small fan of Li Weisi, Dennis Scott performed very well, making 10 of 6 three-pointers and scoring a team-high 24 points. Putting pressure on the Warriors, the team also lost to the Warriors 103:119, Xiti lost six games in a row.
It seems that this season is going to continue to suck.
And the Warriors finally won a rare big victory. Li Weisi and others played only three quarters in the starting lineup and stopped playing. They got a whole quarter of rest time, which is extremely precious for this road trip. .
The last opponent of this road trip is the Miami Heat.
Since the distance between Miami and Orlando is quite close, only more than 300 kilometers, the players of course chose to have a good rest in Orlando, and only took a plane to Miami the next morning.
Miami is indeed the warmest city in the United States. It is already December, but the temperature has already reached over 12 degrees. This makes the Warriors players who are playing away games in other places in the United States take off their jackets and wear short sleeves when they get off the plane. Stepped off the plane.
I have to say that the Warriors players all agree with the league's decision to let Miami set up a new team. After all, although they came to this city to play, in their eyes, it is like a vacation, breathing here is warm and comfortable. The humid air even made my mood much more comfortable, as if the fatigue of the past few days had dissipated immediately.
That night, the Warriors, who had rested all day, faced the young Heat and taught them a hard lesson.
Due to poor performance in recent years, the Heat have accumulated a lot of talent. Glenn Rice and Ronnie Secali seem to be young talents in the league.
It's a pity that the opponent they met was the defending champion Warriors. Their talent was not enough for the Warriors.
After the start of the game, the two teams established a double-digit point difference from the first quarter. Although the young Heat played very hard, the point difference never narrowed. After three quarters, the Warriors had won the Heat by 20 points. many.
In this way, the main force of the Warriors clocked in three quarters, and the substitute finished the fourth quarter, and the score was finally fixed at 137:111. The Warriors beat the Heat by 26 points. East road trip.
