Chapter 280: The Splash Brothers
It's a pity that although Ye Xuan can enjoy the worldly delicacy of Chinese food again, Coach Frank has made some requests again, although you are gaining weight, but Coach Frank obviously doesn't want you to gain 4 kilograms of fat, so less oil, and since you are applying for weight gain in order to improve your physical fitness, then the salt intake must be controlled, and the result is the improved Chinese food。。。。。 It's better to eat a hamburger.
The break passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was January 8th, and today was a big challenge for the Pacers, because they will face the Golden State Warriors led by the current hot Splash Brothers. Speaking of the Warriors, the first impression of old fans may be that under the leadership of the mad scientist Nelson Sr., the Kombat whirlwind that created the Black Eight Miracle.
However, the current Warriors team is completely different from which team at that time, in fact, although the Warriors played well last season, they did not perform as eye-catching as this season, the schedule is almost halfway through, the Warriors are the only team in the league that has not lost more than the market, in other words, they can be regarded as the leaders in the current league.
In fact, many people think that the Warriors are dark horses, and they suddenly came out of the crowd this season. Not really, back last season, the Splash Brothers, consisting of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, took the Warriors to sixth place in the West, with 51 wins. And in the Western Conference playoffs, he fought seven games with the Clippers, and was eliminated by Paul in the last game.
This season, the Warriors have used the basic lineup of last season, but the biggest difference from last season is that they have unearthed Draymond Green from their bench this season, a player who was only drafted in the second round in 2012 and has averaged 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game after being promoted to the starting lineup this season, making him the third big man on the team other than the Splash Brothers.
And after last season's run-in, the Warriors' cooperation this season has also made great progress, coupled with the Warriors' signing of good bench players such as Shaun Livingston and Leandro Barbossa through the free market, the Warriors' record has suddenly improved to a level that the whole league can only look up to.
Of course, Stephen Curry's super play and his cheap contract are also the reasons why the Warriors can afford to bring in players after having so much fighting power. For Ye Xuan, this is undoubtedly the most important game of the season, for no other reason, Ye Xuan after 82 points and 22 assists in that game, has made many people think that Ye Xuan should be the best point guard in the league, compared to Ye Xuan's personal data is not only very good, but also his ability to lead the team is obvious to all, in the case of his team's two major interior lines are not in good shape, and the team's strongest thigh pickled pepper is reimbursed for the season, the Pacers can still rank in the top four in the East, This is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Ye Xuan.
Moreover, Ye Xuan won the Eastern Weekly Best for two consecutive months, and Ye Xuan won 5 of the 9 Eastern Weekly Awards, and many people have booked the MVP of the regular season directly to Ye Xuan. However, Ye Xuan has one of his biggest rivals, and this opponent is none other than Stephen Curry, who led the Warriors to the best record in the league. Curry also suddenly ushered in a big explosion this season, averaging 24 points per game, 8 assists and 4 rebounds. On top of that, Curry is averaging two steals per game and is the steal leader so far this season.
In terms of data alone, Ye Xuan's 36 points plus 10.8 assists are obviously much higher than Curry's, but Curry's Warriors have only lost nine games so far, a full 9 wins more than Ye Xuan's Pacers.
So Ye Xuan also attaches great importance to this game, in addition to Ye Xuan wants to blow Curry up when he is in the right position to prove that he is the strongest point guard, he also wants to win a victory on this 'strongest boss of the season' to prove that his team is not only beating children, when facing a strong team, our Pacers team is also combative!
The game began in a blink of an eye, and Hibbert easily slapped the ball into Ye Xuan's hand in the face of Bogut. Ye Xuan slowly controlled the ball and came to the front court, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Klay Thompson who was opposite him, Ye Xuan also knew that if he let Curry defend himself, he would be able to blow him up with his body alone, and he originally wanted to make Curry a little ugly when defending himself, but now it seems that there is no chance.
However, Klay Thompson's defense is not enough to defend Ye Xuan, but compared to Curry, Ye Xuan may be a little more troublesome to get past Thompson. Ye Xuan dribbled the ball to find an opportunity, while directing his teammates to run, suddenly, Ye Xuan moved two steps to the left laterally, and then used West's blocking and dismantling pulled out from the inside line to directly pass Thompson, who was chasing him, in front of Draymond Green, Ye Xuan directly chose to throw a shot, although Green's reaction quickly pounced to make up for the defense, but still did not cause any interference to Ye Xuan's shot, and the basketball went directly into the basket.
In fact, the Warriors' current interior height can be considered tall in the league, and compared to their small forward Harrison Barnes is also the kind of swingman who can play power forward. So the Warriors' first ball was ready for Barnes to hit Solomon Hill with his back, but Harrison Barnes's lower handicap was obviously not stable enough, so he couldn't carry Solomon Hill, who was half a head shorter than him, with his back hit.
Seeing that his back shot failed, Barnes immediately divided the ball, and after receiving the ball, Draymond Green immediately pulled it up as a three-point shot, West's side couldn't block it, and the basketball went directly into the basket, and the Warriors shot a three-pointer at the beginning, and the fans at the scene immediately responded with warm applause, and the audience in Golden State was obviously very confident in their team, so there were many more fans who came to the stadium to support the home team this season than last season.
