PS: Chapter 179 forgot to write the chapter name, sorry, add another chapter, please forgive me.

Lost three in a row.

The Warriors did not have Li Zhi, and their competitiveness did drop a notch, O'Neal was unable to support himself, and he was helpless to blow up the opponent's interior line and was cut at a critical moment, and Nelson did not dare to put O'Neal on the court at a critical moment.

After losing to the Magic, the Warriors finally got a win, beating the Grizzlies on the road.

O'Neal went out of his way and broke the Grizzlies inside, and the Warriors clocked out in the third quarter. In this game, the Grizzlies lost Monta Ellis, and only Conley and Gay could keep up with the rhythm of the Warriors and beat the Grizzlies 100-90.

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies tried to fight back under the leadership of Gay, but Nick Young pumped off and scored 10 points in a single quarter, extinguishing the Grizzlies' counterattack flames.

Nelson praised Nick Young for his performance after the game.

"We lost Lee, but there are other players who have stepped up, two months is a long time, we hope Lee will not rush back, take care of the injury, and the other players will take on the role of Lee."

Nielsen's words came out, and the media's warriors were a lot less speculative. But there is some truth in the words, I'm afraid Nelson himself doesn't know.

Lee's task is not just to score, his containment is the main factor in the Warriors' outside tactics, and Lee's defense is an indispensable thing for the Warriors.

Nick Young can score, but defensively compared to Richie, he is a heaven and an earth. Replacing Lee with defensive duties was Barnes, who did a good job, but was far from attacking it.

The new player David Lee, although he and Li Zhi are both called Li, the defense is not like Li Zhi at all, his defense is air-level, he can only grab rebounds and attack in the low post all over the court, and he can't count on defense at all.

The Warriors' four-game losing streak dropped them out of the top four in the West, and the Nuggets and Trail Blazers seized the opportunity to sit in the second or third place. This made many fans of the Warriors unhappy, and many fans on the Internet launched a denunciation against Chris Mullin for letting Lowry go.

The Warriors lost Lowry, Crawford could only take the starting position, a David Lee and a Crawford, the two Knicks' old teammates smiled as soon as they met, but they couldn't laugh on the court, because the defense was not good, the two brothers now saw Nelson and took a detour, for fear that Nelson would catch the two and train them.

Chris Mullin, in order to appease the anger of the fans, can only go to the free market to pan for gold.

It seems that Chris Mullin has a crush on Gerald Green, who was cut by the Mavericks.

Gerald Green is 203cm tall, weighs 91 kilograms, has amazing physical fitness, and the title of two-time slam dunk king is still attractive. This season, Green played in 18 games for the Mavericks and scored only 5.2 points, he didn't fit into Rick Carlisle's system, the Mavericks have Nowitzki, Kidd, Terry three ball-handling points, he has no chance, only to be cut.

Now that he is a temporary worker, he is a temporary worker, but his ability cannot be ignored.

Nelson asked him to start, and Gerald Green, who knew that the opportunity was not easy to come by, cherished this opportunity very much, worked the defensive end, and could break through with the ball on offense and also be able to open up three points, which was a good relief for Crawford's defensive pressure.

On December 21, the Warriors played away against the Clippers, and the reinforced Warriors won the Clippers bloodlessly, which made the Clippers management, who called the Warriors "garbage recycling station" at the beginning of the season, lose face.

Byron Davis, who signed from the Warriors with a big contract, was recently injured and reimbursed for the season, and the game was not on the activation list, and the Clippers management paid the price for their choice.

Eric Gordon, the No. 7 pick selected this year, performed well, shooting nearly 40% from three-point range, and scored 27 points in this game under Jackson's defense, but his defense was also very bad, allowing Jackson to score 25 points.

After losing to the Warriors, the Clippers lost eight in a row and finished bottom of the West.

If this trend continues, the Clippers will have no problem getting the No. 1 pick next year, so Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor said stiffly: "Our goal this season is to get Blake Griffin next season, and he will bring a new future to the Clippers together with Byron and Eric." ”

On December 23, the Warriors defeated the Western Conference vice leader Kings 109-70 away, O'Neal scored 39 points, and the Clippers continued their winning streak.

The Kings didn't have any player other than Kevin Martin who could be named, and the season began to slump after letting go of Artest in the summer. Kevin Martin was sidelined with a wrist contusion before this game, which is why the score gap in the game was so large.

Like the Clippers, the Kings are aiming for a swing this season, and they have their eye on the talented swingman Terek Evans at the University of Memphis, a highly talented player who is good at helping the team play smoothly, has an incredible wingspan, and has a very strong and mature body.

The Warriors won another game without Li Zhi, and just when some media couldn't help but come out to show their operations, the Warriors lost.

On February 26, the Warriors challenged the Suns, and there was no core on both sides, and it was all bombardment tactics, and O'Neal was frantically trapped, and it was very difficult to score.

Although O'Neal scored 10 points in the first quarter, he was accompanied by two fouls and was unable to play in the second quarter.

Warriors veteran Bitlins came off the bench in the second quarter, and he played against the inexperienced Jordan Jr. and the sloppy defense David Lee.

By the time O'Neal returned in the third quarter, the Warriors had trailed the Suns by 14 points. In the second half, Belinelli scored 9 points as a surprise player and once again helped the Suns widen the difference.

The Warriors can't afford to lose, the competition in the West is too fierce, the Spurs in the fifth place in the West were originally only half a win away from the Warriors, and now the Warriors have lost, and the Spurs have fallen to the fourth place in the West.

Back at home, the Warriors will face the Spurs after a two-day break.

Spurs head coach Popovich served as an assistant under Nelson, and in the middle of the 1991-92 season, Spurs owner McCombs fired Brown and his entire coaching staff.

On Larry Brown's recommendation, Popovich became an assistant coach to Nelson, the Warriors' vice president and head coach. For Popovich, the elder Nelson represents something he hasn't yet ventured into.

In the 1991 playoffs, the 44-win Warriors defeated the 55-win Spurs on an average of 101 rounds per game, and the Warriors' ubiquitous misaligned offense and defense throughout the series almost upended Popovich's perception of the basketball game, which became his motivation for joining the Warriors.

Popovich spent two seasons studying under Nelson Sr. before returning to the Spurs to create the Spurs system today.

When old friends met, two old men in their sixties and seventies started to talk.
