The game between the Warriors and the Knicks began.

The Knicks starting lineup is Anthony, Stoudemire, Felton, Shambaugh, Baron, Rasheed Wallace.

The Warriors' starting five are Curry, Butler, Chandler, Turkoglou and Tony Allen.

Due to Zhou Yang's absence, the old Nelson strengthened his defense for the sake of safety and let Tony Allen start.

In the first half of the first quarter, Curry had a good hand, he faced Felton, called cover, and made two consecutive shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers.

And Turkoglou also received a pass from Curry and hit a three-pointer.

On the Knicks' side, Xiao Si and Anthony frequently hit the basket, and the efficiency was also good.

The offensive skills of these two people are too comprehensive, and the Warriors can't defend without Zhou Yang's assistance in the restricted area, and they can't defend at all by relying on Chandler alone.

Butler is very tough and works hard defensively, but his talent is much worse than Zhou Yang, so the defensive effect is average.

The first quarter played more than 5 minutes, the score of the two sides was 14:12, and the Knicks led by 2 points.

……

Zhou Yang watched from the hotel, his palms were sweaty.

He found that as an objective Warriors game, he couldn't play, and this was not a good feeling.

Just when Zhou Yang was nervous about watching the game, Scarlett pushed the door and walked into Zhou Yang's room.

This is an almost open secret in the crew, and the two stick together when they have nothing to do.

Scarlett saw that Zhou Yang was watching the game intently, and she didn't disturb him, so she walked over obediently and sat next to Zhou Yang, like a kitten.

Zhou Yang put one hand on Scarlett's body and slowly walked, and the tension was relieved a lot.

Women are really a good thing, as long as they are attached to their bodies, men will feel comfortable.

"Second Brother Yang, do you think the Warriors can win today?"

Scarlett rested her head on Zhou Yang's lap, breathing a little short.

"Gotta win, I believe in Stephen's ability!" Zhou Yang said firmly, and at the same time, his fingers pinched a little harder, and Scarlett let out a "boom".

"Dead you...... I'm not a basketball, what are you pinching me for......"

Scarlett blamed Zhou Yang, her face was already flushed.

……

The game continued, and by the second half of the first quarter, the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage began to decline, and Curry and Butler increased their mid-range shots.

Compared to the Knicks, the Warriors' mid-range ability is average.

Zhou Yang's absence has made the Warriors' offensive level lack an important link.

And the expansion of the Knicks' defense also made the Warriors' three-point shot less threatening.

In addition, when Zhou Yang is on the field, he will command his teammates on the field at any time, assist in defense, and plug the defensive loopholes.

Now that Zhou Yang is not here, the Warriors' defense is not so strong.

However, the Warriors did not rout, because although Zhou Yang was not there, Curry's offensive containment power increased significantly.

After being caught from beyond the three-point line, he hit the ball quickly and gave his teammates more opportunities to play less.

It's a pity that the rest of the Warriors players feel average, so the Warriors start to fall behind.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 31-26, and the Knicks led by five points.

Curry scored 13 points in the first quarter, Turkoglu had eight, Anthony had 12 and Stoudemire had 15, and both stars were fierce at the front.

Nelson Sr. was calm, he expected the situation, but the Warriors didn't rout and could hold on.

Curry played a full first quarter and had a break in the second.

The Warriors switched to an all-bench lineup.

Zhou Yang was very irritable when he saw that the Warriors were behind, so he ripped off Scarlett's fat and began to work hard.

Scarlett couldn't stand it for a long time, and her body was very cooperative, but she was still angry in her mouth: "The Warriors are behind in the score...... You...... You take me out...... What kind of gas......"

"I'm just angry with you, isn't it cool?"

"No...... Not ......"

Scarlett found that Zhou Yang's performance today was very fierce, and he was abusing himself as a basket.

The Warriors played very well off the bench, and Thomas Jr.'s breakouts and shots, as well as his shots, were of high quality.

However, because of his height disadvantage, the opponent's backup point guard Kidd Sr. also played well.

The difference between the two sides is five or six points, back and forth.

Zhou Yang was looking at the TV screen while fighting with Scarlett.

It's an amazing feeling.

And every time a Warriors player makes a shot, Zhou Yang will slap hard and scream at Scarlett.

Not to mention, Zhou Yang's trick is quite useful, and the warrior bench players are getting braver and braver with the help of a mysterious force!

According to statistics, after Zhou Yang exerted his strength, the shooting rate of Warriors players was as high as about 60%, which is simply the best booster.

After more than 5 minutes in the second quarter, the difference between the two teams was narrowed to 2 points, 41:39, and the Warriors fell behind.

Knicks head coach D'Antoni didn't dare to be careless, and quickly called a timeout, ready to replace the main player.

This season, the Knicks are ambitious and want to take advantage of the disintegration of the Big Three, break out of the East, and win the championship.

D'Antoni is also a coach of the year, and his small-ball tactics and run-and-gun philosophy have influenced several teams.

The Suns, led by D'Antoni, played a combination of spectacle and practicality, and in this parallel world, they defeated the Warriors, stormed out of the West, and eventually won a championship.

However, with the rise of the Splash Brothers, the Suns quickly fell.

After the team was dismantled, D'Antoni came to the Knicks, and there was also the love Stoudemire, plus Anthony, Felton and other big players, there was every hope of rushing to the finals again!

After the timeout, both sides switched to the main lineup to do the final fight of the first half.

Zhou Yang's side is not over yet, but the pace is beginning to slow down.

Scarlett was a little dissatisfied, gave Zhou Yang a pink fist, and said angrily: "What are you rubbing......"

"Don't make a fuss, the Warriors are going to launch a counterattack......"

Zhou Yang's eyes were still on the game, but his hands were clenched very tightly, obviously, he was still very nervous in his heart.

He was worried that the score would be pulled away again.

Curry came on the court, and judging from his expression, he was very confident and seemed to have grown a lot all at once.

It's a stage that a star has to go through.

If Zhou Yang and Curry are not separated, Curry will never grow up, this is a person's dependence psychology.

So this time, Zhou Yang took the opportunity to leave, but also to help Curry grow rapidly and achieve a qualitative leap!

Curry followed Zhou Yang's example and commanded his teammates to stand on the court.

In fact, Curry's ball quotient is also very high, and he is very familiar with the Warriors' defensive system.

Although Zhou Yang is usually directing and mobilizing his teammates, when Curry doesn't understand, he will ask Zhou Yang questions, and Zhou Yang will answer patiently, never hiding it.

Knicks offense.

Felton dribbled past half court and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

Some people died, but not completely......
