Chapter 231: Admiring Zhou Yang's selection vision
The two sides began to change substitutes one after another, Zhou Yang and Barbosa remained on the field, and the others went down to rest.
Livingston, Randolph, Toliver come in.
The Magic's bench lineup is also good, Redick, Arenas, Petrus, and Clark are all very strong.
Especially Arenas, who went through the gun incident and was punished, was much more honest.
The wizard couldn't stay any longer, so he had to come to magic.
But instead of giving him a starting position, Van Gundy put him on the bench.
Arenas was desperate to prove himself again, so he launched an onslaught as soon as he came up.
But Zhou Yang won't give him a chance to break out.
Arenas tried his best, three points, and breakthroughs, all of which came and went, but they were destroyed by Zhou Yang every time.
In a few minutes, Zhou Yang got 2 fouls and 1 block on him.
The general is a bit miserable.
Van Gundy was going to be dizzy, he couldn't figure it out, why did everyone have to compete with Zhou Yang?
Zhou Yang's strength is here, is there any good juice to eat with him?
Under the roar of the head coach, Arenas put away his magical powers and stopped fighting with Zhou Yang.
At this time, the Warriors have taken a 9-point lead under the leadership of Zhou Yang.
After Arenas calmed down, he played the organization, which helped the Magic chase a few points.
Redick and Petrus had a good hand, hitting a three-pointer each to close the deficit to five.
At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 34:29.
The two sides continued to face off the bench, with Livingston taking on the burden of attacking off the bench.
More than 5 minutes into the second quarter, the Warriors still held the lead.
Old Nelson really admires Zhou Yang's vision too much, Livingston couldn't play last season.
No one is optimistic that someone who has suffered such a major injury will be able to continue playing in the high-intensity NBA.
So last season with the Thunder, Livingston only played a few games before being cut.
Livingston is grateful to be accepted by the Warriors, so he plays very hard.
Death for a confidant!
The payoff for Livingston is enormous.
The Warriors' winning streak has a lot to do with Livingston's play on the bench.
Last season, the main team of the Warriors, led by the Splash Brothers, basically took advantage.
But when the bench comes up, it digs holes, which was the main reason for the Warriors' mediocre record last season.
And this season, the Warriors' bench is almost in the middle of the league.
The two sides changed to the main lineup and continued to play against each other.
Howard still dominates the restricted area and doesn't give the Warriors an easy chance to make a layup.
But the Warriors' outside shooting rate has risen again, and Zhou Yang and Turkoglu's various small collaborations have played a very 6, which makes the Magic team very uncomfortable on the outside.
With 8:04 left in the second quarter, the score came to 46:38, and the Warriors led by another eight points.
Van Gundy had no choice but to make a gesture to let the Magic expand the defensive area.
Howard stopped crouching in the box and began to assist with outside defense.
Zhou Yang is overjoyed, the opportunity has come!
When serving at the bottom line, Zhou Yang and his teammates shouted and made a gesture, and their teammates understood.
Zhou Yang held the ball past half court and made a three-point feint to step back, and Richardson and Lewis of the Magic team immediately pounced.
Howard also went out to keep an eye on Turkoglou.
There was a temporary vacuum on the inner line.
Zhou Yang immediately passed the ball to Barbosa, who was temporarily unattended, and Barbosa immediately burst into the penalty area.
Howard saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried to chase it, but it was too late!
Barbossa faced Nelson's help and stuffed the ball directly to Chandler.
The boxing king eats cakes easily, and the buckle is violent!
The difference is 10 points!
As a result of the Magic's defensive expansion, the interior line was penetrated again.
The home fans were silent.
The Magic team is suppressed everywhere, how can this game be played?
Van Gundy was also silent, and he found that the Warriors always made adjustments in the shortest possible time.
At the end of the first half, the score came to 57-44, and the Warriors led by 13 points.
There is no flowering, but it is difficult for the magic to catch up.
Barkley is looking forward to this game, and since Curry is sidelined, the Magic should have a chance to stop the Warriors and interrupt the Warriors' winning streak.
But at halftime, Barkley shook his head repeatedly.
"The Warriors are going to win on a winning streak again, and the Magic are no match for the Warriors at all!"
Smith also saw it and said with a smile: "It seems that it is really like what the fans say, the Warriors' winning streak is interrupted by the Heat Big Three!" ”
Barkley snorted: "Not necessarily, Curry will rest for a game and come back tomorrow, the Warriors are still strong." ”
Smith is still more optimistic about the Big Three.
"The Big Three of the Heat are not afraid of fast teams, Jawe's outside defense, historical, and the Splash Brothers are estimated to be deflated."
"It makes sense, tomorrow's game is indeed a test for the Splash Brothers, let's wait and see!"
Many basketball commentators, as well as the media, are focused on tomorrow's back-to-back games for the Warriors.
……
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Magic team also began to speed up, wanting to be fast and fast!
But under Zhou Yang's defense, the Magic team couldn't get up at all.
Nelson's two long passes were actually judged in advance by Zhou Yang and intercepted in the air.
This made Howard very helpless, he was ready to attack and dunk quickly, but as soon as he ran past the midfield, the ball was converted.
As a result, at the end of the third quarter, the Magic did not catch up with the score, but allowed the Warriors to widen the gap to 22 points.
The Magic team lost their fighting spirit, and after a symbolic few minutes of chasing in the fourth quarter, they gave up the game.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Magic 127-106 to complete an eight-game winning streak!
This is the Warriors' longest winning streak in several seasons.
Zhou Yang played 28 minutes today, scoring 27 points and dishing out 15 assists.
Although the score is not high, Zhou Yang is full of dominance on the court and does not give the opponent any chance.
On the MVP list, Zhou Yang continues to rank first, followed by James.
Tomorrow is the Warriors' back-to-back games against the Heat, and if the Warriors lose, then the MVP list is likely to change rankings and James will rise to No. 1!
All eyes of fans around the world are on this match.
Although the entire Warriors are not going to be interviewed, the league has ordered that they must be interviewed!
Because this game is the most watched game of the season, fans and media alike need news materials to increase traffic.
Zhou Yang and Curry had no choice but to give media interviews before the game.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, the Warriors have won an impressive eight-game winning streak, what do you think is the biggest reason?"
Zhou Yang replied calmly: "It is the efforts of our whole team, everyone is very united, twisted into a rope, so we have achieved good results!" ”
The reporter was very dissatisfied with Zhou Yang's answer, and they hoped that Zhou Yang would be arrogant.
