Chapter 54: NBA, Gathering Clouds
The rising warriors are terrible, but they have to think about the situation of the team
Speaking of the current situation in the NBA, it is impossible not to think about one issue again, the problem of the east-west pattern. Many people will say that since Anthony, Stoudemire, and Deron Williams have entered the East, the pattern has been strong in the East and weak in the West, but the West has proved with victory that the West will never easily retreat, although the East is now a situation in which the Bulls, Green Army, Heat, Magic, and the Four Heroes compete for hegemony, either of them can become the champion of the East, and the Hawks' lineup is also luxurious, even if the four Heroes are accidentally and may be pulled down, and the Knicks are also full of energy after getting Anthony and Xiaosi, It definitely has the ability to become the biggest disruptor in the East, and the Pacers, Bobcats, and Nets are also on the rise. But looking at the West, it seems to be even more terrifying, the Rockets have won more than half of the two times and have not entered the playoffs, especially in the Southwest Division, which is even more dangerous, the Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks may all win the championship, and the new power Thunder and Grizzlies are even more powerful, and the Warriors are now really excited, although the Nuggets do not have superstars, but their combat effectiveness is still strong, and the Hornets, Rockets, Suns, and Jazz will definitely not be willing to fall. Therefore, when it comes to comprehensive competitiveness, it seems that the west is more fierce than the east.
Just look at the Warriors, it is rare for the Warriors to stand out from the West and stay in fourth place! Now the Spurs are 25-3, and now they have the Big Three, and if there are no injuries, they can definitely call the wind and rain in the West; And the Lakers, a star from head to toe, really have no reason to come up with a relatively bad result, 23 wins and 6 losses, and they seem to have 5 giants; The Mavericks are now 22-6, and their biggest advantage is that they have an owner who is bent on winning the championship, while the Warriors needless to say, new tactics, a group of passionate players, are invincible and have a 20-8 record; And the fifth is the Thunder, like the Warriors, the Gemini sign is so dazzling that it represents the new force of the league; The sixth is the Hornets, 17-10, Queen Bee Paul is in charge, no one dares to underestimate; There are also the Grizzlies, eighth in the West, 17-11, and a rising new army, a group of young people, Gay, Mark Gasol, Randolph, is likely to become a dark horse in the West, and the Trail Blazers are also 17-11 and ninth in the West, once they were also a rookie army, but with the injuries of Brandroy and Oden, they are gradually declining, and the Rockets are now Yao Ming has recovered, and the combat effectiveness has been upgraded, 16-11 has no reason to withdraw from the Western Conference playoff camp, and the Nuggets now lack a core figure, But everyone is quite combative, the strength is balanced, and they all have a 16-12 record. Today's pattern can be described as chaotic to the end! Even the teams at the bottom have the limit of their rise, the Clippers are building a playoff roster around Griffin, and the Kings also have Evans in the field with unlimited potential, and the Timberwolves also have the Wolves Loew, no one knows when such a team will explode, just like the Warriors, who were on the verge of the playoffs last season, are now fourth in the West.
In this way, although the Warriors have a good result, but this position is definitely not safe, even the twelfth Nuggets are only 4 wins away from the Warriors, including the Spurs in the West, no matter who is not careful, they may be out of the top eight, think about the 2010-2011 season Spurs and Lakers have experienced 5 consecutive defeats, who dares to be sloppy with such a little win. So, for the Warriors, every game has to be given to the best of their all.
The next game for the Warriors is the Houston Rockets, and now they are also three and a half wins behind the Warriors, and if they want to enter the playoffs, the two teams are bound to have a hot fight. After Yao Ming recovered, this team is also very strong in combat, especially resilient, and the team combat is quite good, and the offensive vitality can also enter the top 5 in the league, but the same defensive ability as the Warriors is also the bottom 5 in the league. However, they are trying to balance the attack, especially after Yao Ming returns, the team has slowed down, and if you control the team's tempo, it is crucial. And the Warriors always hit the opponent with speed no matter who the opponent is, no matter what the opponent's style of play is, and now when they meet the Rockets, the two teams must be an offensive battle.
Lineup comparison, the Rockets' leading point guard is "Little Steel Cannon" Lowry, although this person is only 183 tall, but he is physically strong, tough in play, and aggressive in scrambling, and the Warriors are likely to be led by Curry now, maybe counted, Lowry is slightly stronger than Curry, scoring guard, the Rockets are Kevin Martin, the physical fitness is relatively poor, but the scoring ability is very strong, especially the ability to make fouls, it is really a must in the league, but compared to Keynes, it has a great advantage, the Rocket's starter is Bardinger, Physical fitness and technology are relatively average, against the Warriors' Aix, slightly insufficient, and on the big forward, the Rockets' Skla is technical, flexible, but less resistant, and Jobs is the kind of strong, the two have advantages over each other, the center position, now the Rocket Yao Ming is back, although he has experienced two seasons of injuries, but the return is completely the return of the king, strong combat effectiveness, there is still no one in the league who can really prevent Yao Ming, against the Warriors' Clauderson, the Warriors are a little disadvantaged. And the bench lineup is really hard, the Rockets' substitute point guard Dragicki is known as "Little Nash", and the Rockets' sixth man has Lee, as well as Hayes, Patterson, these good substitutes, and the Warriors' main substitute is Lin Fei, needless to say, now Nelson is trying to dig out a batch, and several substitutes have emerged, substitute guard Smith, Asilao, substitute forward Wright, Yudu, Williams, Thorton, Amondson, and many forwards can top the center, all of which are full of combat effectiveness.
Nelson had a pre-game message: "Oh! Dear boys, I'm trying to play the "Super Rotation Lineup" today, understand? None of you have a chance, but you know, you have to keep running and moving when you're on the field, you know? None of you want to be still, none of you want to be still, in that case, we will be very passive. Come on! Kids, I'm sure you're all great. ”
"Is this really not a joke?" The Warriors' bench players couldn't believe it!
"Oh! That's right! Believe me! Nelson was smiling and the players knew it wasn't a joke.
"Now we have a team of 12 people, go play against the seven or eight people on the other side and we'll win, no matter who the opponent is! As the old Chinese saying goes, two hands are no match for four feet, and I believe that," Nelson is clearly confident. Lin Fei couldn't help but laugh!
