Chapter 182: All-Stars

At the pre-game press conference, Popovich thanked Nelson for letting the Spurs come to fourth in the West, and Nelson was red in the face when he learned about it, which made the Warriors cheer up and win the Spurs.

But the Warriors still lost this game, met Duncan again, O'Neal was tortured by Duncan and had no feeling, and the two fought for a whole game as a treasure of the last century, and finally ended with the victory of the Spurs.

After this loss, the Warriors won only one game until the middle of January, ushered in a dismal eight-game losing streak, and fell into hell in an instant.

The Warriors have suffered a barrage of injuries.

In the first game of January, when the Warriors hosted the Mavericks, Crawford was hot in the first quarter and was caught by the Mavericks in the second quarter.

Crawford was a strong street ball player, making tough layups in the bag, landing on one foot after aerial duels and never getting back up.

Crawford is the only point guard with the Warriors' starting level, and without Crawford, the Warriors can only let Livingston, who watches the water cooler, play, and Morrow replaces Livingston as a substitute.

After a post-game system check, the Warriors officially announced that Crawford suffered a fractured left calf, and after team deliberations, it was decided to let Crawford temporarily stop playing for the next 40 days.

However, this was only the beginning of the Warriors' disaster, and on January 5, the Warriors took on the Rockets on the road.

One and a half minutes into the third quarter, Stephen Jackson was stepped on by O'Neal while grabbing a rebound, and after an examination, Jackson fractured his left foot, and his return time is expected to be 4-5 weeks.

As fans have long guessed, O'Neal weighs 147KG, and in the fierce game, the impact is even greater, and this injury is inevitable.

What worries many fans is that after injuring another big general, there is not one outside starter left for the Warriors.

Lowry was traded, Crawford and Jackson were injured, and Lee was already in a hospital bed, with Livingston, Nick Young, Green and Morrow on the outside.

In the next game against the Trail Blazers, the Warriors had a rare situation where two people played the whole game.

The Warriors really didn't have anyone available on the outside, which made Brandon Roy feel cool. Roy scored 29 points and 7 assists to lead the Trail Blazers to revenge the Warriors. Even though O'Neal also wants to be on the inside, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the Warriors can't find a stable offensive point except for O'Neal.

Another problem for the Warriors is that they are unorganized and tactically chaotic. Livingston was still a little short of the fire after all, and the ability was there, but he couldn't maintain the Warriors' rapid rotation offense, and the Warriors had to fall into an infinite singles situation.

Li Zhi watched the situation of the warriors at home and was anxious.

With the Warriors losing to the Jazz again on Feb. 10, the Warriors finally got through a two-month period of chaos as Lee returned soon.

The Oakland media have blamed the Warriors management, and behind the two months of chaos of the Warriors, it reflects the inaction of the Warriors management, and many Warriors fans have shouted for Chris Mullin to step down. What's more, it directly asked Chris Cohan to sell the team quickly, and the Warriors need a new owner to lead them out of the haze.

Although Li Zhi is about to make a comeback, Li Zhi will inevitably miss the All-Star Game, and for the sake of insurance, Nielsen did not let Li Zhi participate, which has to be said to be a pity.

The All-Star voting results came out, Li Zhi was the starting small forward in the West, and Anthony of the Nuggets also announced that he would not participate in this All-Star due to injury, so that there was no one at the small forward position in the West, which made Warriors fans scold Beasley again.

This All-Star was held in Phoenix City, Phoenix, although Li Zhi could not participate, but as the starting small forward of the All-Star vote, he still had to participate in the charity activities organized by the NBA, and the itinerary was theoretically like this:

On the 14th, I went to participate in the community service of the stars to give back to the fans, and in the afternoon McDonald's All-Star Charity Game, Li Zhi watched the excitement on the side.

The 15th is a fan carnival, and Li Zhi wants to meet with the fans, give them autographs, and carnival with the fans.

When it comes to the All-Star Game on the 16th, Li Zhi will be fine, just watch the game quietly.

Avril did not accompany Li Zhi because he was very busy with his work, and Li Zhi wondered, are women with successful careers so busy?

However, on the afternoon of the 15th, Li Zhi met another beauty, Ye Xiaoxiao, as an intern reporter of ESPN, who came to do a report and found Li Zhi after work.

Walking on the streets of Phoenix, Li Zhi sighed: "I thought I could get into the All-Star starter, but I was really unlucky." ”

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled: "This is not a good thing, let the fans know your importance." ”

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "I'd rather let the team win more games, and I don't really value my personal reputation too much." ”

After two months of ups and downs, the Warriors have fallen to the sixth place in the West, O'Neal's ability to lead the team is still very strong, with Jordan Jr., Milicic, Nick Young and others to play this result, Li Zhi admires O'Neal in his heart.

Even Jordan couldn't have done better than O'Neal in such a situation.

Ye Xiaoxiao teased: "Didn't you say that you want to fight for the best defensive player, it seems that there is no chance." ”

Li Zhi suddenly made a bitter face and said: "No way, I missed such a game, next season." ”

The two-month absence also means that Li Zhi has missed all the awards this season, including the best defensive player, and can only compete for the honor of scoring champion, assist champion, and rebounding champion.

However, the scoring champion Li Zhi doesn't want to do it, Wade has a strong momentum, most of the scoring champions this season are his, and the rebounding king and assist king seem to have nothing to do with Li Zhi, Li Zhi can only work steals and blocks.

On the evening of the 15th, Li Zhi watched the All-Star Rookie Game accompanied by Ye Xiaoxiao, and compared with the previous session, this rookie game has nothing to look forward to.

Li Zhi is concerned about his teammate Morrow, who has had a lot of opportunities during the time when the Warriors were full of injuries, averaging 10.1 points per game, and also had an explosive performance of 37 points in a single game, and was naturally selected for the All-Star Rookie Game.

However, during the game, Morrow didn't get many chances, hitting only two three-pointers in the game, and then never performed.

The first year is a group of singles maniacs, Westbrook, Rose, Beasley, OJ Mayo take turns to control the ball and attack, and all four are very suitable for this kind of big exhibition game without defense, and every goal is either a dunk or a pull rod performance, so that fans can feast their eyes.

Rose and Mayo are the big leaders of the team, Beasley and Westbrook are the second leaders of the team, and it is really not easy to get these four to pass.

However, the four did well, but they couldn't lead the first grade to win. Led by Durant, the sophomore took the game away in the fourth quarter. Durant scored 46 points on 17-of-25 shooting from the field and won the MVP.

Moreau didn't play well, and ran over to complain to Li Zhi, but when he saw that Li Zhi was still accompanied by a beautiful woman, he could only go to O'Neill in a huff.

PS: There is a basis for Crawford's injury, Crawford did suffer a major injury in '09.
