Chapter 652: The Last Hurdle
On December 18, the Golden State Warriors ushered in their 25th game of the new season against New Orleans Daigo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Pelicans are now in complete rebuild, and they picked up Anthony Davis at the draft, a power forward with all arms from the neck down, great athleticism, and only one eyebrow.
Anthony Davis is now the rebuilding core of the Pelicans, and now this team is in ruins, just like they had just experienced the devastation of the hurricane that year.
If you want to find a few teams in the league that can pose a threat to the Warriors, you can't pick the New Orleans Pelicans, even if it is the Warriors without Chen Mo.
Chen Mo came to the Oracle Arena today, and he will once again transform into "Coach Jack" and sit in the coach's seat today.
The wave of gift-giving ceremonies that Chen Mo prepared for his teammates at the airport the day before yesterday had an unimaginable bonus effect on the team's combat effectiveness, and the gifts were secondary, and that sense of ritual made the players increase their sense of belonging to this team. Especially the rookies of this team are the majority, and these rookies who have just entered the society are easily moved by some small things, especially the gift ceremony prepared by Chen Mo is actually very good, and it is quite attentive.
After the game started, the Warriors' offense was very ferocious. They quickly took a double-digit lead, but the Pelicans didn't look like they wanted to surrender so quickly.
Monty Williams replaced Anthony Davis early in the first quarter, and he wanted Anthony Davis to play against the Warriors' rotation in the second quarter.
Monty Williams' setup played a role, he brainlessly arranged for Anthony Davis to partner with Harrison Barnes's defenders, and he used his height and arm length advantage to shoot jumpers without changing defenses, and he attacked Harrison Barnes when he switched defenses.
Anthony Davis scored eight straight points to narrow the deficit to seven in an instant. The Warriors called a timeout and replaced Barnes with Green.
Barnes also knows that he is not playing well, but he may not be so uncomfortable if he is replaced by someone else, but he is not very comfortable being replaced by Green, a second-round pick who entered the team in the same year as him.
And when he saw that Green did not suffer against Davis, and blocked the opponent's attack on both occasions, the feeling in his heart was even more uncomfortable.
Barnes stood up and walked over to Chen Mo, who knew there was something wrong with him as soon as Chen Mo came over, and he patted Curry, who was sitting next to him. Curry sat down in a different position.
Barnes sat down and asked, "Jack, I've never had a feeling like this, I don't feel like I can get into the game." ”
"Now you think that you can't keep up your spirits after you get on the court, you can't seem to take a step forward, and you have to react half a beat slower on the court, right?" Chen Mo described clearly, and Barnes nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Chen Mo said: "You need to adjust yourself, the rest is punctual and sufficient, the training intensity is in place, and then you also have to adjust your mentality, you have to learn from Drummond, you see he is full of excitement at all times." ”
Barnes nodded silently, Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If there are any problems, pay attention to communicate with the coaching staff and trainers, I suggest that you perform hard as long as you play, and don't care about what happens to the next time." ”
"You've played the game! All you have to do now is play, and then you can give all your skills and get replaced and wait for the CD on the bench. If the CD is not good, it will not be released, and it is not a big deal. ”
Barnes nodded, he lost his mind.
And after the Warriors replaced Green, they erased the obvious defensive holes, and the Pelicans never found any more opportunities. The huge gap in overall strength made it difficult for them to compete with the Warriors, and this game did not cause much trouble for the Warriors, who had recovered for two days. Curry hit four three-pointers in the third quarter to kill the game, and the Warriors headed to Sacramento on a strong 25-game winning streak.
Agari was not in Sacramento, and Chen Mo did not travel with the team to the away game, and he continued to stay in Oakland to recuperate. Although Chen Mo felt that he was in good shape and could play, the coaching staff did not agree with his premature dedication.
Sacramento isn't a great place to attract superstars, who have had a good run in the draft in recent years, and they were able to draft a guy like Thomas Jr. with the last pick in the second round. But their rebuild looks far from complete, and Cousins' immature mind and the team's overall difficulty in developing chemistry make it almost impossible to resist against the Warriors, who are very strong overall.
Although it was back-to-back away games, the Warriors' performance was still solid and bright.
It is worth mentioning that although Barnes only played 8 minutes in this game, he played very well.
He had 12 points and 4 rebounds, and on the defensive end he was not afraid to face Cousins even if he was misplaced, and his two more vicious fouls made Cousins start to be angry.
The Warriors comfortably snapped their 26th winning streak and looked like the only thing that could end their winning streak was the Christmas package ahead. To expect the Charlotte Hornets to beat the Warriors, and still at Oracle Arena, is a rare odds.
What's more, there was a piece of news that almost made the Hornets lose the confidence to fish in troubled waters to end the Warriors.
The Warriors officially announced that Chen Mo will return early for the Warriors' home game against the Hornets on December 21, and it was originally planned that he would return to play in the Southern California derby against the Lakers on the 23rd.
In the past few days of resting at home, Chen Mo asked Chris to search for some rarer meat, and Chris sent rhinoceros meat to Chen Mo, a Mexican rhinoceros that fell from an artificial rockery due to mismanagement in the zoo and died of serious injuries.
The airlifted rhinoceros beef has been cooked, and when it arrives in Chen Mo's hands, the temperature is just right, and Chen Mo can eat it directly when he takes it out of the insulated bag.
This flesh made the body enhancement grow again, which accelerated Chen Mo's recovery from his back injury. Now that Chen Mo is in good shape, and he has rested for a long time, he will be full of firepower as soon as he appears on the court in this game.
Chen Mo scored 41 points in the half, helping the Warriors take an early 21-point lead.
Chen Mo didn't want to embarrass his old club too much, and the coaching staff didn't want Chen Mo's comeback battle to be too tired, so that Chen Mo sat on the bench in the second half.
The Hornets didn't cause any problems for the Warriors in the second half, and the game was uneventful to the end.
The Warriors made it easy to make their 27th straight win of the new season, and they still have one final hurdle left on their 33-game winning streak.
A hurdle for the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat! They're no longer far from the end of their 33-game winning streak.
