Jackson has gradually regained his competitive form after surgery, and although he is not as good as last season's 20+4+4, he can play a role on the defensive end. He and Marion worked together to limit the opponent's outside scorers, putting Eric ? Gordon defended himself as a blacksmith, scoring 21 points but shooting just 7-of-22.

Today's Warriors are not a team without defense. Although Turyaf has a short playing time on the inside, Randolph and Marion are not tall, and there are flaws in the low post, but no team can easily break through on the periphery. The interior relies on compression defense, and can limit opponents without height advantage, and Magic is the best example of this. They use Rassad? Lewis played as a power forward for a season, and his defensive efficiency is still in the top five in the league.

In their last game of February, the Warriors defeated the Bobcats 103-85 at home.

The Warriors once again showed their defensive skills, and Zhou Xuan and Marion limited Raymond? Felton. Felton's speed is in the top three in the league, the pick-and-roll is powerful, and the shot is badly inaccurate. Gerrard? Wallace was also greatly reduced by the efficiency of Jackson's defense.

The Bobcats bench can only rely on rookie Augustin and Radmanovic who was traded from the Lakers. Warrior Ellis brought the bench and was full of impact. Now the Bobcats' starters are already good, there are still too few people who can use them, and only relying on the starting 5 people to meet the strong team basically ends in failure.

Old handsome Larry? Brown bring a stubborn defense to the Bobcats, but they need reinforcements if they want to make the playoffs.

After this game, the Warriors finally lost, losing at home to the Utah Jazz.

The famous "anti-bone" Carlos? Boozer is back, and the Jazz's pick-and-roll has become stronger. Oku, Korver, and Myers felt too scary, how to shoot, how to have, and six people scored double-doubles in the game. And that's not counting Delong? Williams, who didn't score much individually, with just seven points, but dished out a game-high 20 assists.

Zhou Xuan scored 14 points and 8 assists, and the Warriors had a bad outside hand, hitting only 3 of 20 three-point shots, and the team's shooting rate was only 41%, and it was normal to lose.

Finally, a guard took advantage of Zhou Xuan, but Delong was not even selected as an All-Star. After the injury of the great general Boozer, he led the team to struggle. The team isn't in great shape right now, losing 25 games, sitting ninth in the West and still outside the playoffs. It is still unknown who will catch the last train, them or the Hornets. Both of the league's hottest star guards are struggling on the brink of the playoffs.

Although he lost, Zhou Xuan received good news.

He and Miami Heat guard "The Flash" Dwayne? Wade was named the NBA's Western Conference and Eastern Conference Player of the Month for February, respectively.

Wade averaged 30 per game in February. 7 points and 50 shots. 2%, Wade scored 20+ in all 12 games of the Heat team in February, helping the Heat team achieve a 6-6 record.

The Warriors had a 12-1 record in February, with Zhou averaging 12 per game. 4 points 3. 1 rebound 13. 1 assist, 2. 2 steals. With his crazy performances this month, he averaged 12 per game on the assists list. Six assists shook off Paul. He also became the second Chinese player after Yao Ming to win the Player of the Month award.

Yao Ming called Zhou Xuan to congratulate him.

"Hey, Brother Yao, how are you doing?" Zhou Xuan asked with a smile.

Yao Ming said: "I'm still the same, congratulations, you won the best of the month in your rookie season, and you became the core of the team in half a season, and it's hard to find examples like you in the NBA." ”

"It's all the media, and now that the Warriors are strong, they forgot about my six consecutive defeats. If I had been alone, the team wouldn't have been able to make the playoffs. But we did get stronger defensively. "Zhou Xuan is not modest, he is telling the truth. He didn't want to be arrogant, and there was still a lot to learn.

Yao Ming said: "Play hard, the national fans will support you in this playoffs." ”

Zhou Xuan asked, "You don't plan to make a comeback in advance, do you?" I've read some reports and your doctor seems to have a problem, do you want to check it out in detail? ”

Yao Ming sighed: "That's what I wanted, and Francis persuaded me to do it." ”

Three days ago, after Maddie underwent surgery on her left knee and was reimbursed for the season, two people suddenly appeared to "take responsibility": Rockets doctor Case? Jones and Thomas, the attending physician? Clanton.

The words of the two men prove that Maddie himself is not lying, and that people have indeed been wrong about No. 1 before, which also proves the low level of the team's medical team and the incompetence of the team doctor.

A passage from Clanton's "confession" has mixed feelings. "I should be held accountable for this," he said. It was I who brought him back too soon, and of course, there was his personal decision. However, if we had strengthened his knee more at first, he might not have the symptoms he has now. ”

This statement can be interpreted in two ways: first, Maddy is indeed persisting in the fight despite a serious injury, and fans should not always suspect him of "cheating" or being passive and slacking off. Second, the inaction of the Rocket doctors. Why did you let Maddie play with an injury and not stop it? Why is it that when he is serious enough to need surgery, the star is still repeatedly emphasizing before the game that there is nothing abnormal in the results of the MRI examination?

There have been 10 injuries on the Rockets' 15-man roster this year: Yao Ming, Maddie, Artest, Brooks, Barry, Dorsey, Francis, Battier, Hyde and Landry. With such a large number of injuries, Thomas? Ranton and Case, who doubles as a trainer? Jones, as well as other medical personnel, are questionable in their ability to work.

Now, many people are sweating for Liu Xiang, because it was Cranton who performed calcification surgery on the root of his left foot in early December last year.

Francis was also very dissatisfied with the Rockets doctor, so he reminded Yao Ming to find someone else. Since he had knee surgery after joining the Rockets, he has completely lost his former athleticism and has never been able to play in the NBA again. It can be said that the team doctor was an important reason for Francis's retirement. Although he was known as a high-paid and low-energy person before, he could still score 10 points per game.

Yao Ming is really going to rest for three months, and this season is considered a reimbursement. The rocket medical team also advised Yao Ming to do this, fearing that his knee would affect his power, which in turn would affect his left foot. Last season's stress fracture scared everyone who cared about Yao Ming, and he couldn't get tired anymore. There is no hope of a breakthrough this season, and the Rockets also agreed to rest Yao Ming.

The Rockets don't have a first-round pick, and Alexander's goal is not to draft a pick, but to send Yao Ming away in the summer offseason, and frequent injuries have scared the Rockets.

In addition to the NBA regular season, Yao Ming will definitely miss this year's Asian Championships, and he doesn't want to play at that level.

After the last, Yao Ming said: "We will join forces at the fastest next year, I think the World Championships Basketball Association should send you an invitation, if you don't invite you to the national team with your current strength, there will be fans to drink pesticides at the door of the office building." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "I also look forward to fighting side by side when the time comes, and we must be healthy by then, and we will strive to overturn the American team." ”

He often fantasized about it before falling asleep. If you can win the World Championships or the Olympic Games with Yao Ming and bring the Chinese men's basketball team to the highest peak of world basketball, it will be so exciting. But for the time being, I can only think about it, it is too difficult to succeed. Many of the stars in the Spanish squad have never played for the American Dream Team.

Losing to the Jazz, the Warriors started their road trip on the 4th, and the opponents were not strong.

They first beat the Timberwolves by 25 points, and Zhou Xuan only played 21 minutes, scoring 5 points and 7 assists. Relying on the run-and-gun tactics, Ellis made a big splash and scored 33 points.

Then the Warriors took out the Bulls 115-110 back-to-back.

There was a bit of resistance against the Bulls, who traded to get Kings veteran Brad? Miller, John? Salmons, the strength of the increase. In the first half, relying on the play of Gordon and Lore Deng, he once led the Warriors by 17 points.

In the second half, the Warriors adopted a compression defense and released the defense of blue-collar Noah, and gradually recovered the score. In the fourth quarter, the Bulls sent Miller to increase interior height, shooting and playmaking, but didn't use the super athletic Tyrus? Thomas.

For this substitution, the Warriors relied on counterattacks to launch a 12-0 attack wave, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, and the Bulls were never able to catch up.

On the 7th, he played the Pistons away. The last time the two teams fought to the last minute, this game was a one-sided situation, and the Warriors won comfortably 114-94.

Randolph is very faceless and abuses his big brother Rashid? Wallace. Wallace had only 4 points and 7 rebounds, while Randolph had 24 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists.

McDyce returned to the Pistons and didn't add much energy to the team, and Marion pulled out to play made him very depressed. He couldn't keep up with the guard's air cuts anymore and had to stand under the basket to defend. Looking at the low post defense, he is not as good as Kwame Brown.

Hamilton, Starkey, and Prince on the outside can score, but they can't prevent the Warriors' offense, especially Margety, who came off the bench, relying on his physical advantage to do whatever he wants. Now every game the Warriors have someone who can step up and make a difference, and this one is Margeti and Randolph.

Zhou Xuan also performed well, scoring 6 points and 12 assists. His teammates' attack power is too strong, and his number of shots is reduced again.

Alan? Iverson was not in the squad. He once publicly threatened to retire if he continued to play as a substitute, and the answer from the Pistons top brass was "refrigeration". The Pistons won't give Iverson any playing opportunities for the rest of the season, meaning his relationship with Detroit is over.

Pistons executive Joe Dumas explained: "After talking to Allen and the team's medical staff, we decided that recuperating Allen was the best decision, and his physical condition has not fully returned to a healthy state. ”

Seeing through his fate with the Pistons, Iverson began to lose his temper, and he was even fined for missing practice on Thanksgiving Day. He was then called on as a substitute, much to Iverson's displeasure. However, the Pistons did not compromise because of this, but took the killer.

What Iverson has to do now is to look for a future owner in advance.

Either way, the Pistons' best situation this year is on the last train of the playoffs, and the era of the defensive iron army is over.
