Chapter 178: Change

On December 11, the Warriors met magic.

Due to salary constraints, the Magic have not made significant additions this season, but their roster is still strong.

The Magic's forward strength is the team's biggest asset, and Howard firmly occupies a dominant position at the center position, the 22-year-old monster has turned over in the restricted area in the new season, and now the "first center" of the two eras are facing each other. The battle between the previous generation of Magic and the new generation of centers has made Orlando's tickets double.

After the game, judging from the statistics alone, O'Neal had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Howard had 16 points and 18 rebounds, which was not very shocking, but the game between the two was exciting.

The scramble for a rebound has fans hooked, and many seem to have returned to the era when the "big four" were bombarded on the inside.

The final score was 88:87, and with Li Zhi's stunner, the Warriors won 7 consecutive victories with difficulty.

Everyone could see the Warriors' exhaustion, and it looked like the Warriors' winning streak was about to come to an end.

However, in the next game, the Warriors once again picked off the Hornets away and slapped a lot of people in the face.

The Hornets have been in terrible shape lately, with Peja missing 11 games with a back injury and Tyson Chandler missing a month injured in training, leaving the Hornets without an inside barrier. The Warriors capitalized on the Hornets' uneven personnel weakness and frantically wrapped Paul and David West to win.

Paul's performance was unquestionable, but he could only continue to lie dormant and wait for Peja and the king to return.

Many fans have been overwhelmed by the Warriors' performance during this period, with unprecedented attendance at the Warriors' home court, and many local tycoons interested in taking over an NBA team have begun to contact Kriskohan, much to Kriskohan's ecstasy.

Some people are happy and some are sad, such as Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace. Monta Ellis, who was traded from the Warriors, performed well, averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and the Grizzlies have a trusted scorer on the outside.

On December 11, the Grizzlies faced the Knicks, and Monta Ellis and El Harrington, two old Warriors teammates, saw each other again.

At 2:16 of the fourth quarter, Monta Ellis made a layup and was rudely pulled down by Al Harrington, who fell to the ground and held his knee in pain.

A post-game examination revealed that Montaelis suffered a contusion on his right kneecap and suffered a slight cartilage tear, which cast a shadow over the Grizzlies.

Knee injuries are the most worrying injury, as many stars have ended their peak with knee injuries, such as Roy......

Li Zhi called to greet Montaellis, who was optimistic that he would be able to play again as soon as he had surgery. Li Zhi advised him not to rush and cultivate well, this was a decision related to his career, and Li Zhi did not want Montaelis to be disgraced by everyone.

To put it mildly, Monta Ellis accepted Rich's suggestion and decided to recuperate from his injury with peace of mind, announcing that the season reimbursement would focus on recovering his knee, and Richie breathed a sigh of relief.

Also depressed is the Lakers, the Warriors have risen too fast, which makes the Lakers, who are leading the West, have a sense of crisis. Although they have been leading the Warriors by two wins, the Warriors' big shark threat is too great, and if the two teams face each other in the West, no one dares to say that they will win the Warriors.

The Suns management is even more heartbroken, just after trading O'Neal in the summer, O'Neal played at the peak level of his career, although the statistics are not as high as during the Lakers period, but O'Neal's style of play has changed dramatically. The main blocking and cover-based style of play makes him extremely efficient.

Li Zhi won the Player of the Month of November, and no one disputed it. So far, he has averaged 29.6 points, 5.7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game, shooting 49% from the field, 88% from the free throw line, and 40.5% from three-point range, which is close to the statistics of 180 clubs.

In addition to Lee, the Warriors' other players have also performed well, with Jordan Jr. and Milicic playing important roles in the Warriors' winning streak.

The Warriors have a fast pace, shoot a lot, and of course play a lot of iron, which makes Jordan Jr. an alternative interior rebounding monster. During the winning streak, Jordan Jr. averaged 13 rebounds per game, which is a rebounding king-level statistic, and the Clippers management became the laughing stock of the league.

Trading Jordan Jr. earned the Warriors' second-round pick and Javie McGee, who the Clippers called the Warriors a garbage dump for the Clippers at the time.

Now in comparison, McGee averages 6.5 points and 4 rebounds per game, which seems to be not much better than Jordan Jr. with 4.3 points and 8 rebounds.

Jordan Jr. also played an important role on the Warriors' defensive end, although there were a lot of fouls per game, but the average of 1.1 blocks per game was still very deterrent, at least when O'Neal was not on the court, no one would break through the Warriors inside like last season.

Milicic averaged 14 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.2 blocks per game, all of which were career highs, and although his performance was inconsistent, often with a dozen points and a 0-point game, it also made him a wonder player on the Warriors' bench.

By now, Milicic has stopped starting because he is too comfortable with Crawford on the bench.

On Nov. 13, the Warriors won away against the Bulls.

Averaging 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, shooting 47.5%, Rose conquered the demanding Chicago fans with his performance, and last season there were two super rookies of Li Zhi and Durant.

Noah continues to show his amazing defensive talent, with 10.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1.2 steals so far this season, as consistent as ever, and he has become a pillar of Chicago's interior line.

Although they lost to the Warriors at home, many people are still optimistic about their future, and maybe they will rise like the Warriors next year?

Goodbye Li Zhi, Noah didn't cry like last season, and it can be seen that this guy is doing well.

After eight straight wins, the Warriors have left the Nuggets behind them two wins, but the bigger challenge is still to come.

The Warriors are next in a back-to-back road streak, with the pressure of a winning streak and the fatigue on the road, which is a challenge for all Warriors players.

On November 15, the Warriors took on the Heat on the road.

Last season, Wade played just 51 games last season due to shoulder and knee injuries.

After the lack of a main general, the Heat simply pushed the boat down the river, and happily found enough reasons for the rotten. They drafted Beasley with a bad scout pick.

Beasley averaged 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, which also gave people a bright feeling, but this leader could not stay focused on the court and often became a defensive colander.

This season, Wade returned, and the Heat's record rose to the fourth place in the West, with Wade averaging 29.9 points per game to rank first on the scoring list.

The Miami Heat is located in Florida, and Richie, as a player who went out of Florida, received a lot of cheers at home in Miami, which moved Richie very much. At the same time, the Heat fans also applauded their champion O'Neal.
