Chapter 760: Bay Area Haoqiang in the Dark (Continue to Two in One)

"We're playing the Warriors for the first time this season, right?" Eclipse said.

"That's right, what stars are left on the Warriors' roster?" he continued.

"Byron Davis and Monta Ellis?" Salmons clearly has a bad memory.

"Byron went to the Clippers, and we only played each other recently, and now the Warriors are left with Ellis!" Crawford was the Warriors' second-leading scorer last season, so he is naturally familiar with the Warriors.

"There's another person who can't let his guard down against him!" Ruan Erniu said as he checked the information on the tablet on the plane.

"Who?" asked Pachuria.

"Stephen Curry, the No. 7 pick in the class of '09, this guy can get an average of about 17+6+4 data per game, hit about 2 three-pointers, and the shooting rate is more than 43%, don't let your guard down on him. Ruan Erniu said as he looked at the Warriors' statistics.

"That baby-faced rookie, has this guy graduated from middle school?" said Lunar Eclipse with a laugh.

Speaking of this, the Hawks in the cabin suddenly rejoiced.

Speaking of which, the Warriors' backcourt pair of Ellis and Curry are really an interesting pairing.

They are similar in size and have excellent scoring ability, but there is too much difference in appearance, Alice (Ellis) and his surname are extremely inconsistent, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can sleepwalk in Wonderland, while Curry is a standard Zhengtai, and her image is very different from the painting style of the entire NBA.

Of course, there's more to the fun about the duo than that.

During the media day in '09, Ellis publicly stated in front of a number of media that he and Curry couldn't play together, both of them were trumpet guards and couldn't play the No. 1 or No. 2 position on the court, and he missed Byron Davis very much.

This is a catastrophe for the Warriors' PR department.

They have lost control of the situation, and the current boss of the team is unhappy with the potential rookie who has just been recruited into the team, and such a scene has gone beyond the realm of embarrassment and can be described as a dressing room crisis for the team.

Fortunately, nearly half of the season has passed, and Ellis has said it, but he didn't make too many difficult faces in the actual game, otherwise Curry would not have been able to score enough good average data in the rookie game.

However, Ellis is right about one thing, from the Warriors' record, it can be clearly seen that the so-called backcourt double guns are indeed unreliable, and there is certainly no problem on the offensive end, but the two thin guards are really too disadvantaged on the defensive end.

In fact, the responsibility for the Warriors' poor defense is not only on the two backcourt players, with a coach like Don Nelson, don't expect them to put enough attention on the defensive end, plus Stephen Jackson, who was traded away early, and Raga Bell, who barely played, it is a strange thing for the Warriors to have defense.

San Francisco Bay Area, a golf course.

"Stephen, do you think I'll be able to make a hole-in-one and make a birdie?" Ellis adjusted, bent his knees, and swung.

The golf ball almost went into the hole and unfortunately came to a halt of less than 1 yard.

Ellis shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward to make the final touch, a putt, and sent the ball into the hole.

"Pa (golf terminology, the number of hole-in-one strokes is the same as par)! Curry smiled and slapped Ellis's palm.

Then, in his own turn, Babyface managed to make a birdie and win the team boss.

After winning, Curry officially turned into a primary school student, shaking his head and moving around Ellis, according to the bet, he won't carry Ellis's bag next week.

Monta Ellis looked at the boyish-looking Curry, and there was nothing he could do about the latter.

This guy not only has a tender face, but he sometimes does things quite funny, although he is a first-year rookie, but the popularity of the team is indeed quite good.

For most of the season, everyone on the team got along well with this baby face, including him, the team boss who was once quite dissatisfied with Curry.

"Is a week enough, would you like not have to carry my bag for a season?" said Ellis, holding his golf club with one hand and his elbow in the other.

"How?" asked Curry, stopping his ramblings.

"Hehe, it's easy, take out ATL with me tomorrow night!" Ellis said.

Curry blinked, a fascinating glow in his gray-green pupils, and Babyface said slowly, "Can we do it?

Ellis smiled and waved his right hand, patted Curry on the shoulder, and then touched the baby-faced head and said, "Remember, this is also the motto of the Black Eight Warriors: 'The stronger the enemy, the stronger we are'!"

Curry's eyes were full of stars, and he said excitedly: "You guys rely on this to defeat the Dallas Mavericks who won 67 wins?"

Ellis, who was packing up his clubs, turned around and said, "No, it's just a casual remark." At that time, everyone was thinking about one thing: kill the calf!

Who let them fire the coach [Nelson Sr.] and let us go to the playoffs in the last game of the regular season?"

Curry: "......"

February 21, 2010, Oracle Arena in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The 52-1 Atlanta Hawks arrived against the 15-39 Golden State Warriors.

In the West, the Warriors' record basically means they are leaving the playoffs early this season.

Crawford, who spent most of the season last season, is still popular, after all, the 6 have scored 50 points in a single game here.

Erniu seems to be more popular here, and just inside the stadium, several Chinese fans wearing Erniu's No. 88 jersey came to cheer.

San Francisco is originally a city where Chinese gather, and every year Da Yao, Er Niu, and even Ah Lian in the rookie season come here, they will be quite warmly welcomed.

For Chinese people living in the United States, yellow players like Er Niu who can prove themselves in the NBA will naturally bring them pride.

The starting lineup that the Warriors fielded tonight is:

C Andris Biedrins

PF Anthony Toliver

SF Anthony Morrow

SG Stephen Curry

P.G. Monta Ellis

Who else is on the Warriors' bench riddled with injuries?

The short point guard CJ Watson, the fat Lakers veteran Devin George, and the obscure center Chris Hunter.

The Warriors' small number of players makes it doubtful that they will be able to field a consistent rotation.

The Eagles' starting lineup didn't change anything:

C Ruan Er Niu

PF Josh Smith

S.F. John Salmons

SG Joe Johnson

PG Goran Dragic

After most of the season, Dragic has basically settled on the position of starting point guard.

Mike Bibby is also willing to step down for the sake of the team, leaving more opportunities to young people full of infinite possibilities.

As it turned out, the Eagles were perfectly right to rob the claw machine early in the second round, and it was a win-win choice.

Erniu and Biedrins stood in the center circle, and the starters of both teams also stood still, and as the referee tossed the ball high, the game officially began.

Erniu jumped high and took advantage of his super-fast speed to sweep the basketball away from the top of the head of the Latvian brother.

After the eclipse, he got the basketball in the backcourt, directly controlled the ball himself for half the court, hesitated outside the three-point line, and finally put the ball in the hands of Dragic, who reorganized.

The Eagles won too much, and the players naturally wavered, but given Woodson's authority, the Eclipse ultimately didn't choose to shoot birds after the opening game.

Erniu asked for the ball in a low position, and the claw machine made a fake throw and passed the ball to the ground.

Biderins is rough, and he was also a fierce man who could win 11+11 last season.

Of course, his stats have dropped dramatically this season due to injuries, and for players who rely on their bodies to eat and have been slow to develop their shooting ability, the Latvian, like the Latvian, has almost lost his future.

Erniu easily chiseled into the basket, and while causing a foul on Biedrins, he made a one-handed dunk and scored the first point of the game.

2+1!

Erniu then successfully added a penalty in the middle of the penalty.

ELLIS POSSESSED THE BALL PAST HALF COURT, AFTER A CROSSOVER, SLOTTED INTO THE BOX, AND THEN SENT THE BALL TO MORROW ON THE PERIMETER UNDER THE TRAP OF TWO BULLS AND A LUNAR ECLIPSE.

The latter missed a three-point shot, Erniu won the backcourt rebound, immediately held the ball to the frontcourt, and switched offense and defense!

The Hawks played a three-line fast down, the bull held the ball in the middle, sent a second pass to the ground, Salmons cut the basket in the air, and after receiving the ball, he looked back at the moon and easily completed the layup.

After the opening, the Hawks were in better shape, but on the Warriors' side, Morrow, Tolivier and even Curry had average hands.

But after the Eagles took the lead, they gradually became slack.

On the offensive end of the Warriors, Ellis first took advantage of the breakaway, dodged under the basket, scored 2 points, and then he sent good shots for Curry in a row.

At this time, the Hawks' defense also had problems, and Embarrassment seemed to care too much about Curry's three-point warning before the game, and Embarrassment paid the price for his carelessness.

Curry, who didn't make a three-point mark at the beginning of the first quarter, used his skillful and flashy ball-handling skills to get past the embarrassed defense in a row, and hit a big 2-point shot from 17-19 feet.

played vigorously, Curry even directly held the ball to the basket, and under the blocking of Erniu, he folded in the air and barely attacked the basket.

Although the ball was still iron in the end, Curry's amazing sense of space and ability to control the timing of his shots were still unmistakable.

Babyface has never been a three-point player, and whoever despises him will pay the price.

At 26:21, the Hawks only won by 5 points in the first quarter.

The Atlantans played nonchalantly, and after the first quarter, they didn't take the Warriors too seriously.

The game started quickly in the second quarter, and Don Nelson didn't do anything and used a more crazy lineup, he replaced Morrow, replaced CJ Watson, and went directly to the three-small lineup, which was to compete with the Hawks for speed and accuracy.

Ruan Erniu, who was sitting on the field, was also directly stunned, he thought that the V-shaped running bomb like the sun was already the ultimate offense, and he never thought that the mad scientist could play a terrifying three-guard lineup.

Erniu even doubted that if the Warriors could have enough quality backcourt players, Nelson Sr. might even go straight to the five-guard.

However, madness to madness, Nelson Sr. was right at least in the first half of the second quarter!

Curry and Ellis fired back-to-back shots to quickly tie and overtake the score.

Woodson immediately called a timeout, partly to set up a defensive strategy and partly to interrupt the Warriors' hot hand.

That's the terrible thing about the old Nelson team, everyone knows they don't defend well, but when they do get right, there's almost nothing they can do to stop them from scoring.

Erniu was quickly put back on the field, but in the next game, he was not the protagonist on the field.

Someone on the Hawks side stepped up, and he was Jamal Crawford.

In the face of the Warriors' ferocious offensive end, the gram 6 also showed his super offensive talent, unreasonable three-point shot, Crawford faced the defender is thrown!

Really entered!

The CCTV guest in charge of this live broadcast is obviously Su Junyang, but seeing Crawford's unreasonable offensive method, many Tianchao fans still unconsciously have the magic voice of Coach Zhang in their minds.

Woodson also has no choice, anyway, depending on the situation, he can't stop the Warriors' ferocious offensive wave after wave, so he simply fights poison with poison, and also uses Crawford's unreasonable offensive method to solve the problem.

A good show begins!

ON THIS SIDE, ELLIS CONTINUED TO HAVE LUCK IN THE CROTCH AND HIT A THREE-POINTER WITH A STEP-BACK STEP, AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, CRAWFORD IMMEDIATELY SHOOK OFF THE DEFENDER, ALMOST LEANED BACK IN THE SAME POSITION, AND FORCED A THROW-IN ANSERBALL.

Over there, Curry broke through the basket and completed a difficult throw under the successive defense of the two bulls and the lunar eclipse, and over there it was Crawford who held the ball and hit the basket, facing the help of Biederins, drifting back and shooting, and hit!

All kinds of fairy balls are dazzling and sultry, and the hit rate of both sides is very high, so the ornamentation is actually exceptionally good.

The game was played hard enough, but once it did, the pace of the game was not in the hands of the Eagles.

At 28:33, the Hawks trailed by 5 points in a single quarter, and the first half ended, 54:54, and the two sides were tied.

In the second quarter, Crawford and Ellis both scored 13 points in a single quarter and became indispensable scorers for the team.

The Warriors are accustomed to letting the backcourt have two guns to solve the problem, but the Hawks are a little uncomfortable here, Erniu and Embarrassing Sen have become Crawford's foil, and the Hawks' overall advantage has not been brought into play.

The invincible Atlanta Hawks didn't take advantage of the Golden State Warriors, who were considered the league's underdogs.

Asked in an interview at midfield why he wanted a back three, Nelson said: "In my eyes, it's not the position that matters, it's the ball that runs smoothly and whether the players find their own rhythm in the movement.

The Atlanta Hawks are not without their weaknesses, and as long as they get into our rhythm, things are much easier!"

Nelson was right, after switching to a three-guard, the Warriors were on the go, while the Hawks were starting to struggle.

The Hawks also pay attention to super-fast offensive and defensive transitions, but that was based on defensive stability, and throughout the second quarter, Atlantans were left with nothing but crazy running.

At halftime, Erniu directly grabbed Woodson's right to speak and said: "Don't just stare at the opponent's three points, we must not only watch the opponent on the outside, but also not give them the opportunity to shoot easily within the three-point line, the Warriors are not a team that can only shoot from a distance, we have to be nervous, it's XX game time." ”

Nguyen Er Niu is certainly unhappy with his teammates' laxity, and although they have won a lot, it doesn't mean that they can win all the time.

There are things in the league that want to upend the Hawks, and the Warriors are clearly one of them.

For a team like the Golden State Warriors, who are almost fighting for dignity, being able to defeat the Atlanta Hawks, who are arguably the strongest in history, in a bad season is undoubtedly a desperate explosion and victory, and at the same time, it is also a great time to make a name for itself.

The drama of Diaosi's counterattack, even in the United States, is still a big news that makes people boil and applaud.

The game started quickly in the third quarter, and after the two bulls held the ball in the horn plane basket, and after a feint to shake Biedrins, they immediately held the ball and hit the inside, and a tomahawk split dunk, announcing that the Hawks had entered attack mode.

Ellis controlled the ball over half court and chose to go it alone, and without throwing off the claw machine defense, Ellis chose to hold the ball and hit the basket directly.

Erniu, who had been waiting for a long time, naturally wouldn't give him any chance.

"Boom!"

A shocking hat, Erniu fanned out the bottom line with the ball, Alice really thought she was in Wonderland, but unfortunately he didn't have a pair of magic shoes on his feet that could realize his dreams.

Ellis, who did not admit defeat, continued to choose to face the defense of the claw machine and forced a shot.

"Bang!"

Strike iron!

Erniu protects the backcourt rebound, "Bull Sprint"!

There was no one in the front court who could stop the impact of Erniu, and the Celestial Empire faced Moreau's help defense, and a European step made the opponent have no temper.

The two bulls jumped high and split the buckle with one hand!

"Boom!"

The bull domineering descended on Oracle, and only the shouts of Chinese players were left on the scene.

“MVP!”

“MVP!”

“MVP!”

……

The Warriors were stopped, the strength of the Hawks was too deep, Ruan Erniu, who only scored 14 points in the first half, and had fully entered the state, the Hawks have actually been fighting alone in this game, but even if they are fighting alone, the Warriors do not seem to have the upper peak.

Old Nelson didn't have a good way, and after the pause ended, he could only slightly adjust the lineup and continue to fight with the Hawks to attack, but Ruan Erniu, who had entered the explosive state, was really difficult to resist.

The Celestial Empire shot 8 of 8 in this quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists in a single quarter, and he almost single-handedly defeated the entire Warriors team.

At 42:22, the Hawks took a 20-point lead in a single quarter, and at 96:76, the Hawks had full initiative before the game even started in the final quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, the Atlanta Hawks, who thought everything was fine, almost made a counterattack.

Stephen Curry suddenly entered the cute god mode, hitting the outside shot repeatedly, the 20-point difference was not safe, and with 50 seconds left in the final quarter, Moe Ku led the Warriors to chase the score again to only 2 points.

As a result, it was Ruan Erniu who stepped forward again!

Instead of struggling with Curry outside the three-point line, the bull returned to the low post he was most familiar with, playing with his back again and again, and steadily scoring points for the Hawks.

In the countdown period, Monta Ellis still had a chance to drag the game into overtime, but the claw machine made another contribution at the crucial moment, a clean cut, which made Ellis return without success, and thus drew a break to the game.
