The Warriors continue to play on the road, against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks shocked the champion Celtics in the first round of last season's playoffs. They were also one of the more low-key teams in the league this summer, and they haven't made too many high-profile changes to their roster. The difference between strength and last season is not big, and it can make the playoffs, but it will definitely be difficult to go far. Judging by the attitude of the whole team, the Eagles are good, Josh? Smith, Al? Horford, Marvin? Williams and others have worked hard this summer to improve their interior matchup capabilities, which will help make up for their weakness in defensive rebounding control. Also, "Eagle King" Joe? Johnson plays steadily, veteran Mike? Bibby used his experience to help the team, and the team's main squad from last season was retained intact.

103-115, the Warriors lost again.

Horford can defend against Randolph in the low post, and Smith can defend pick-and-rolls in the high post. But the Warriors can't stop Smith and Joe Johnson's pick-and-roll offense, their problem is still defense, and the Hawks' strength just happens to be their defensive weakness.

Morrow was blown up, and Joe Johnson scored 35 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. After the game, he apologized to everyone in the locker room and took responsibility, and everyone didn't say anything about him, after all, his opponent was the opponent's core player. Azubuke can only defend the forward, if let Morrow defend the 206CM strong man Marvin? Williams has a bigger flaw.

The Warriors have lost three of their last four games and dropped to fourth place in the West. The Jazz, who lead eighth in the West, also have only three wins. If you don't win, you may fall out of the playoffs.

This was followed by back-to-back games against the Charlotte Bobcats.

On Dec. 11, the Bobcats just closed a big trade with the Suns. The Suns will bring former coach D'Antoni's two big men Raja? Bell and Boris? Dio and defender Zingall? Terry sent out in exchange for two-time dunk king Jason from the Bobcats? Richardson and last year's rookie Jared? Dudley.

Although it was back-to-back, almost the entire Warriors team felt that they could relax, and the Bobcats had never made the playoffs and had always been an underdog. Chatting in the locker room, they're already thinking about their next opponent, it's a terrible mentality. And Biedrins is still as transparent as ever, sitting with headphones and listening to music.

Having been in the United States for many years, Biedlings has not yet fully integrated into the circle of Americans and lacks a common language. As the captain, he was completely unqualified.

A leader on the pitch is someone who can step up when it matters most, while a locker room leader is a player who has an absolute say in the dressing room. When a team wins, it is necessary to tell their teammates that there are still things that are not in place, and when they lose, they must be able to boost the morale of the team and get the team back on their feet, and generally such players are the leaders who really convince their teammates. Biedrins doesn't touch either. On the court, he is often let go, and at critical moments, he is the target of the opponent's "slashing", because the free throws are rotten and the offense is not sure. In the locker room, the captain and people rarely spoke, and Harrington was better than him when he left.

There was no way, Zhou Xuan wanted to stand up again to boost morale, but he still had to take care of the mood of a group of people, so he didn't speak until the loud Azubuk asked him. "Hey Zhou, your opponent today is 'Everybody Loves Raymond' (Felton), are you confident that you can take him off?"

"I'll find a way to get Zach to play in the wrong position, guys, don't be too optimistic, look at the lineup, I don't think the Bobcats are weak, and they happen to be the kind that restrains us, Coronna, your task is especially heavy, because you are playing against Gerrard? Wallace. Zhou Xuan deliberately spoke loudly when he answered, and everyone else could hear it except Biedrins, who was wearing headphones.

Turyaf laughed: "They even traded the top scorer out of the company for two role players, it's not a big deal, right?" ”

Not long after Richardson arrived with the Suns, an overwhelming amount of comments followed. It is widely believed that the Suns have taken a huge advantage in this deal, on the grounds that the arrival of Richardson can bring Phoenix once again infinitely close to the championship trophy.

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "No, I think the sun is unlucky, and it is the lynx that makes the cheapest." ”

"Ha Luha, for what?" Turyav asked. The teammates were also attracted by Zhou Xuan's words and quieted down to listen to his explanation.

Since you ask, you're welcome. Zhou Xuan said loudly: "I'll tell you what you think, you think about whether this is the case, if not, please correct me." The report given by the scouts has made it clear that the Suns are certainly interested in Jason in this deal? Richardson's scoring ability is believed to have re-established a prolific scorer with the ability to average more than 20 points per game in the backcourt, which the Suns have not had since Joe Johnson left. Richardson shot a whopping 45 from three-point range. 8%, which is a good fit for the Suns' offensive system and can also help Stadamire and O'Neal create more offensive space on the inside. ”

"Isn't that what the sun earned?" Azubuk asked.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "However, the current sun is not the same as before. Trading is not about adding or subtracting a player's stats, it's about whether they can fit into the new team's system. At first glance, Richardson looks like an excellent scorer averaging 20+ per game, but that's guaranteed by an average of 17 shots per game when he was with the Bobcats. For the Suns before last season, D'Antoni's fast run-and-gun play might have provided Richardson with a number of shots. But since Porter took over, the Suns have become a half-court offensive team, and the number of offensive rounds has decreased. In this case, it is necessary to take care of the number of touches of O'Neill and Stoudemire, Barnes and Nash also have to shoot, and there is Barbosa on the bench who shoots on the field. Where does this come from Richardson's 17 shots per game? The Suns are losing their traits even further, and Nash is getting harder and harder to play to his talents, so it's time to say goodbye to the Suns we remember. Unless the Suns go back to the old way of running and shooting, but no, O'Neal is just one aspect, making a Terry who has the concept of defense and defense permeated in his bones? Potter's switch to a D'Antoni-style attack is tantamount to asking a Chinese chef to switch to a French cuisine. ”

The room was silent, as if that was the case.

Azubuk asked, "Then what has the lynx become stronger?" ”

Zhou Xuan continued: "Although it is a pity to let Richardson go, the introduced Bale and Dior are both the favorite candidates of the Bobcats. Larry? Brown has built the Pistons into an iron army, he is good at defense, the Bobcats' main center Okafor is more defensive and weak, and the introduction of the all-round Dio is expected to change the team's lack of offensive strength inside. Dior is known as a French magician, with good passing awareness, can respond, is fast, and is also good at blocking and dismantling. As for the perimeter, Bale's aggressive play on the defensive end will certainly appeal to Brown as well. Plus 'Elvis' Gerald? Wallace, he's also a strong defender, and now the Bobcats are a defensive team that can make the playoffs. Felton is a fast defender who is good at breaking through, and we have a hard time defending. Guys, don't take the enemy lightly, I'm sure the Bobcats are just restraining us. ”

Azubuk laughed, "Man, why do you usually study this?" I think you can go and be a scout, no, just be a manager, at least the Suns can hire you right now. ”

"I'm a person who wants more. Actually, I want to say that the bobcat is really hard to deal with. Zhou Xuan said loudly.

Everyone did not doubt his words, cheered up, and no longer despised the bobcat. They all felt that Zhou Xuan was a somewhat mysterious Oriental, and even a little superpowered, and his words were likely to come true.

Zhou Xuan sighed in his heart after speaking. Americans, especially blacks, are mostly rough and don't like to use their brains. The simplicity of their minds and well-developed limbs are a portrayal of their good behavior. As long as you observe carefully, you will find a lot of problems from the player data and characteristics. He forgot that a year ago he was a simple-minded man with well-developed limbs.

When the game was about to be played, the coaching staff came, and the old Nelson said something similar to what Zhou Xuan said, and the players admired him even more.

After the game started, the Warriors played very hard, especially on the defensive end, and it can be said that they played at the strongest level of the current lineup, but they still couldn't break the Bobcats.

The Bobcats' offense was not strong, relying on a stubborn defense and a stalemate with the Warriors. They don't have a lot of offensive routines, is it Gerrard? Wallace, Dio and Felton blocked and dismantled, and then divided the ball and kept moving, passing a few times when they had the opportunity to shoot, and when there was no chance, the time was fast enough to play alone.

Brown is a seasoned coach, and he knows that the Warriors like to break fast, so try to slow down the tempo and reduce the number of rounds. Wallace, Bell, and Felton returned to defense very quickly, and the Warriors couldn't play a fast break, so they could only fall into position frequently.

Okafor was the one who had the strength to compete with Howard for the championship, although there has been little improvement over the years, but his defensive ability is also ranked first in the league, especially in the low post, Randolph's efficiency has dropped greatly under his defense, and he can only pull out the outside line again and again to block and find opportunities, if he blocks and dismantles, Dior, who is very mobile, will defend it again.

The Warriors rarely play such a dull, lethargic game. Zhou Xuan can find the weakness of the Bobcats, that is, the height of the guard, Felton is 185CM, and the substitute DJ Augustin is registered 183CM, which is actually 180CM. Unfortunately, this is not the type of offense he is good at, and he only made 2 of 6 shots.

The turning point came in the fourth quarter, when Felton relied on Wallace to cover and break through consecutive points to create open opportunities, and Bale, who was not long on transfer, ran to catch the ball and hit two three-pointers to open the score and prove his worth.

Although the Warriors recovered a few points in the final stages, they lost the game 101-105. Losing to the Bobcats, the Warriors are completely in trouble, and the next two opponents will be even more difficult to play!
