As the temperature warmed up in Chicago, so did the Bulls, who returned to their January performance to the level they had last November.

But they're still not the brightest team in the league, the brightest team is the Warriors.

The Warriors are still undefeated in December, and their winning streak has extended to a terrifying 27 games!

And in this season, their opponents are not lacking in championship teams such as the Raptors and Pacers, and even they completed their revenge on the Thunder in the Christmas game.

Are they strong? Yes, this record speaks for itself.

But they're still hated because it's a shame to take super shortcuts to win as many goals as possible.

Of course, James and Yongmi are happy, because they enjoy this state of "you can't get used to me but you can't beat me".

"I feel like I'm in the best phase of my career and we're the best team in the league right now? I don't care about that, my only goal now is to win the championship. After a long hiatus, James finally regained his royal style in an interview with FOX Sports.

It's worth mentioning that the 27-game winning streak is the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, just six games away from the longest 33-game winning streak.

In this context, the next meeting between the Warriors and the Bulls, which is also the first meeting between the two sides this season, has become another focus after the Thunder Battle in the opening game.

"Boss, why didn't you say the softie had a falling out with LeBron yet?" In the training session the day before the two sides clashed, Anderson couldn't help but ask Xu Yong.

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Anderson was talking about Green.

"He doesn't dare yet."

"What about later?"

"Who knows?" Xu Yong shook his head with a smile.

If you study the tough guys in the NBA, you'll see that they're two extremes.

Those who can play such as Big Ben and James Johnson will not take the initiative to cause trouble or even be amiable on the court, because ordinary people dare not provoke them.

This is one extreme, and the other extreme is the type of Green and Garnett, who spray hard in their mouths, but basically don't dare to do anything with people.

No, not all, they should be notoriously bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.

Garnett bullied rookies on a daily basis, of course, because he was blown up by the team's second-round pick Rick Rick Richot in training camp, he took a backhand sneak punch and put a person in the hospital with seven stitches, and then [beaten] someone out of the NBA by the way.

Green's words, Pu'er was a rare rookie cultivated in the Warriors 2.0 era at that time, but he punched people down in the team and beat the latter to the point of psychological problems.

But Garnett only dared to shrink into the car in the face of Anthony blocking the bus, and Green was kicked by Xu Yong, and even dared to emphasize that it was an accident on the blog show.

So Green theoretically didn't dare to do anything to James, although James couldn't do anything about Xu Yong, but it was too simple to take Green.

Especially at this time, the Warriors are winning in a row, and whoever engages in internal contradictions will immediately become the target of public criticism.

"It's a pity, I thought there was a good show." Anderson was slightly regretful.

"Play well." Xu Yong reminded.

Of course, there is a chance to watch it.

Xu Yong has been a reborn against Green throughout his career, and he will find that every time Green is a demon when he reaches his contract year, whether it is trash talk to Durant or that punch to Pu'er.

So if one day the Warriors are going to trade him out, Green won't sit still.

It's just that it's a bit difficult now, if James and the Warriors are compared to a small couple, they are in the honeymoon period at this time, and Green will not come out to be a leading bird at this time.

When he returned home from training, Schwartz called Xu Yong and talked to him about the information he had recently.

But it's not about the players, it's about the league.

Agents of Schwartz's level are as sensitive to these news as media people, and even more well-informed.

The alliance is ready to sign a sponsorship contract with Spinach.

When he heard the news, Xu Yong's brows instantly furrowed.

When did the NBA begin to decline?

If, economically, it doesn't, because a bigger broadcast contract means it's heading for prosperity.

But when did the NBA lose its original popularity?

One is the change in the style of play in the small ball era, which is a chronic process, and there are two main reasons, one is the [vertical jump rule] that has occurred, and the other is the 24-second transformation of 14 seconds that has not yet happened.

The other is the gradual WWE of the NBA, and the biggest push for this is the legalization of spinach.

It may be a bit fanciful to say that the spinach company can become a sponsor of competitive sports, and then bet on the dog's money together.

But this makes the NBA gradually lose its competitive flavor, and the game is completely commercialized, who is willing to pay enthusiasm for it except to bet on dogs?

If someone doesn't know enough about the words "drink to quench their thirst", then this may be a demonstration.

This is probably the reason why the bosses pushed Xiao Hua to power before, because businessmen must hope that the investment income will be as fast as possible, and the spinach company can meet their interests, what is better in this world than betting on dog money?

Emotions were running high at the Union Center on the night of the game, as the Warriors started the season on a 24-game winning streak before being ended by the Bulls in Chicago.

And now, another 27-game winning streak Warriors has been sent to the Bulls, or rather, another golden backdrop has been sent.

When warming up before the game, the on-site photographer was looking for Xu Yong's lens.

Xu Yong under the camera sat on the bench with a serious expression.

"It's going to be a big challenge for the Bulls, and they're going to have a very strong opponent." On the commentary bench, after noticing Xu Yong's expression, Barkley rarely blew the Warriors.

"Of course, I'm not interested in this way of teaming, it's like in 1993, when I was asked to join the Rockets, I could easily win two championships." Of course, he did not forget to add.

"So do you think the Warriors are going to win the championship this year?" O'Neill soul tortures Barkley.

"Do you think Michael didn't retire in the summer of 1993 and the Rockets would have won a championship?" Barkley replied with a very clever answer.

The answer to this question is an interesting hypothesis, but the reality is that the League now has no God, but it does have Satan.

"Whew~"

Xu Yong exhaled a long breath and stood up from the bench.

Thinking about it from last night to the present, he felt that his plan to oust Xiao Hua might have to be advanced, because it is very difficult to cut something like business cooperation after cooperation, especially after in-depth cooperation, it is intertwined and cannot be separated.

But if he plans ahead, it will take some cost, which makes him feel very bored and urgently need to find a place to vent.

After the pre-match warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.

Warriors: Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, James, Green;

Bulls: Beverley, Butler, Yong Xu, Anderson, Adams.

Kerr opened with a lineup of five smalls, which only shows one thing, he really wants to win this game.

This is also completely understandable, after all, this kind of thing of giving a gold background board is enough once.

Adams flicked the ball back into the Bulls half, and the game officially began.

Xu Yong directly fell to the low post to receive the ball.

Last season's Finals match was like yesterday, although the Warriors had an extra James, but it was like adding a toy to the couple, the fun increased, but the posture was still about the same.

Green contracted on the weak side to help defend, Xu Yong made a feint to pass the ball in the direction of Anderson, forced Green to turn directly to the baseline after forcing Green, turned around and jumped after a strong confrontation with Iguodala, and walked in the air to score with a low hand.

You have to admit that in the Warriors' lineup, there are only James and Green who can carry Xu Yong in the low post, but if Green defends, Xu Yong pulls him outside to beat him like walking a dog, and the humiliating game in the finals last season is a pain that Green is unwilling to review.

As for James, James said he was the playmaker of the team and that defense shouldn't be his job.

"Good news, Xu's desire is strong tonight." Barkley said excitedly in the commentary box that Xu Yong played for more than two months this season and went to 60+ once, which is not quite like his personal style.

It's just that he said this as if James was really the toy that added to the fun.

But in the flip back, James broke through Anderson and assisted Thompson on the outside.

James and Curry are very compatible, but an off-ball shooter like Thompson is really like a fish in water, because before James comes, the opponent's defensive energy will be greatly constrained by Curry, and James is simply not too comfortable when he comes again.

Xu Yong continued to be low, Green was caught this time, Xu Yong gave the ball to Anderson, and Anderson broke through the interior and staged a trademark slow layup in the face of Green's help defense.

Time and space seemed to stand still at this moment, his movements were obviously very slow, but Green on the opposite side was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, when Green jumped up the block, Anderson only started the first step of a three-step layup, and the result was an old-fashioned layup.

"It shouldn't be a breakaway layup in the NBA!" Although he had seen it more than once, Barkley couldn't help but shout with a smile.

"Man, he's the Spacelord of space." O'Neal gave Anderson a nickname.

But in the end, Thompson received another pass from James, attracted the help defense and passed to Curry, and Curry also scored three points at the top of the arc.

The Warriors gave the reason why they were able to win 27 in a row this round, and James and the Warriors are just too well suited.

The game seems to be back to last season's Finals, where three points are always one more point than two.

And the Warriors continued to clamp Xu Yong, and Xu Yong also continued to share the ball, this time Green showed his ability to adjust on the defensive end, successfully forcing Anderson to hit the iron from close range, and James turned around and rushed to grab the defensive rebound.

The Warriors played a fast break, and the Warriors' fast break was already fast, and it was even faster with James.

The Warriors' frontcourt was three to two, and James received Curry's return pass and staged the iconic Zhan axe dunk in the middle.

After landing on the ground, James glared at the camera and made his trademark "strong" gesture.

It felt like he'd lost it in the East, and he was going to get it all back this season.

Xu Yong's face became more and more gloomy, and he did not play a single in the low post again, but directly asked for the ball in the high position.

And the moment he received the ball, he didn't try it at all, and he turned around and forcibly inserted it in.

Iguodala is a little unable to keep up with the confrontation, Xu Yong is not the kind of James who is unskilled, his combination of footwork and explosiveness is too perfect, and there is no time for Iguodala to judge.

After breaking through to the three-second zone, when he saw Green coming over, he didn't slow down and took off directly, and pulled the ball up against Green and smashed it directly to the basket.

Green felt that his body was weak, as if he had shrunk somewhere, and he was directly knocked away.

"Bang!"

Xu Yong smashed the ball into the basket directly through Green.

James, who was supposed to come over to help defend, stood on the weak side at this time with his hands on his hips.

Compared to the offensive improvement, the defensive problems of this Cosmos team seem to be bigger than last season.

However, Xu Yong didn't care about James who was posing, but turned to Green who was about to serve at the bottom of the basket, and said lightly: "You, soft." ”

A trash talk that seems to have passed through ten years, in the 2007 NCAA opener, Griffin sprayed trash talk at Xu Yong, and Xu Yong turned around and gave it to Green.

But the difference from that time is that Green, who already has the name of a soft egg, is so suitable for this sentence.

Green's face flushed, but the dull pain reminded him to keep his senses.

It's painful to have one less egg, but one less is not a question of whether it hurts or not, it's a matter of not being a man.

Back on the defensive end, Xu Yong and Anderson directly switched defenses.

However, this round the Warriors' positional battle was still scored, Curry [elevator door] came out to catch the ball to attract the help defense, jumped up and threw the ball to Iguodala who cut under the basket to score a layup.

Unlike all the teams James has stayed in before, as long as James was choked in the past, then his team would be at least half ruined, if not all of them, but now, even if the Warriors don't have James, they are a team that can wrestle with the Bulls.

More James, that's the icing on the cake, less James, it's okay just as well.

A hot knowledge, James's outside three-point shooting percentage is not much lower than that of his predecessor Barnes when he takes more shots, and James's cut is far more dangerous than Barnes, and in the Warriors' small-ball play on the court, even if he doesn't hold the ball, it won't affect the space.

After the goal, Iguodala retreated and Curry collided directly with his chest in celebration, and the Warriors started with a high morale.

Xu Yong pulled Adams to admonish a few words at this time.

Then he waited on the offensive end, and he directly held the ball on the outside, and then called Adams to block it.

When Adams split the ball and cut in, and Xu Yong made a pass to force Iguodala to follow, Green was suddenly stunned for a moment, because he was sent to Xu Yong, in a painful position in his memory.

Without waiting for Green to react, Xu Yong had already launched a quick attack.

For a moment, Green felt like something was tearing open his unhealed wound.

Xu Yong dragged past Green and broke through to the glide basket on the inside.

"Assist in defense, pay attention to assistance in defense!" Cole yelled into the air from the sidelines.

"The air in Chicago doesn't listen to you, Steve." Xu Yong turned his head to Cole and reminded him that he needed to vent when he was aggressive, not just on the field.

Cole's face tensed, as if he had been poked in something.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The scene began to think of the shouts of Chicago fans.

Xu Yong under the camera showed a murderous aura coming from the air, and they only felt that the hair was upside down, which was the release of the body's excitement.

The Warriors' offense was put down as the Bulls' defensive intensity increased amid the shouting, but more importantly, Adams let Green go.

That was Xu Yong's instruction.

This Warriors' five-small team is indeed very strong, and it is difficult to take care of every point, so it is necessary to find a breakthrough, and Green is a more suitable target than James, who has been hit by him.

So he's responsible for disrupting Green's mentality, while Adams shrinks defensively.

It worked, because Green's three-point shot hit the front of the basket and almost missed a three-pointer.

Seeing this, Xu Yong arrived on the offensive end, and he wanted to find Green even more.

Green's expression was as constipated as if he was constipated.

He is not stupid at all, just like Xu Yong knows, he is a guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, Xu Yong's strength obviously explodes the existence of his street, he can't get any benefits when he provokes, he will only be constantly humiliated by Xu Yong.

Otherwise, why did he go to Adams when he fought the bulls, but never provoked Xu Yong.

You think that he is a soft embodiment in the podcast, but in fact, people are showing Xu Yong his kindness: Brother, the things of an egg are all small things.

It's a pity that his kindness doesn't seem to get the result he wants.

After all, in Xu Yong's eyes, he wouldn't care about a garbage attitude.

Xu Yong changed his posture and turned around with a drum washing machine, but the same thing was that he passed Green.

And James still didn't help the defense, as Xu Yong said, the air in Chicago did not listen to Kerr's command.

"Did you notice that your teammates were watching the show?"

After scoring the ball, Xu Yong turned to Green and reminded.

Green, whose face was becoming more and more red at this time, didn't want to pay attention to it, but he turned his head and saw James with his hands on his hips.

Theoretically, James is necessary to help defend, because it is very likely that Green will be dangled by Xu Yong as a center.

But firstly, James's assistance defense has always been because there are blocking opportunities, and it is not his habit to block the gun's eye, and secondly, if he assists in defense, it will inevitably mean letting go of his defenders, and then the opponent will score more, which will affect his opponent's data.

And, of course, three.

If Curry is passed, he's willing to help defend, but Green?

Green didn't welcome him to the Warriors, so why did he go and help Green wipe his ass?

Green's expression at this time was extremely depressed, he didn't dare to be angry with Xu Yong, but he didn't dare to be angry with James, so he could only be so angry that when he returned to the basket, he took the basket and punched it so painfully that he grinned.

Looking back, Green was empty from the outside again, and his adjusted three-point shot was still off the basket, which made him angry that he was also in the air of Farker Chicago.

Unfortunately, James wasn't even real air.

The Bulls seized the opportunity to play a defensive counterattack, and Xu Yong passed the ball to Beverley, who scrambled to send the ball to the basket before Green could go sideways.

Then, after scoring the ball, Beverley leaned over and made the same "too small" gesture that Xu Yong did to James last season.

Green almost died on the spot.

It doesn't matter if the Bulls are stronger this season than they have been in the past two seasons, but their ability to kill people is on a higher level.

There are three trash talk masters in the five starters, just ask you who can withstand it!

Cole reached out and called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Warriors made a substitution, and Pachulia came on, but instead of Iguodala, he replaced Green.

Green under the camera looks a little injured, but there is nothing he can do.

It's just that in the corner of the camera, just like Bynum's performance in the Gasol shackle shot, James is laughing.

Why not trade Green for a mobile blue-collar center?

Green's face on the podcast when he left Barnes, why didn't James have it?

Xu Yong, who saw this scene, felt that tonight's harvest might be greater than expected.

When I talked to Anderson before, he didn't think Green was going to jump out and be a birdie.

But the contradictory seed that Green planted in the podcast at the beginning, he could be a gardener, watering and fertilizing, so that it could grow into a towering tree sooner.

Perhaps, maybe, is it possible that Green will really punch James in the future?

After the timeout, the Warriors did not turn into a disadvantage because of Green's departure, but regained the situation.

Because after Green went off the court, James became more active on the defensive end, as if he didn't hear Kerr's shout, but the reaction was a little delayed.

Xu Yong was angry and funny.

It's angry because he knew that James was so obvious, he should have been lighter on Green, and it's funny because James is really not used to Green at all.

However, speaking of which, James's coffee position is something that Green can't touch, and there is no psychological pressure on him to squeeze Green away.

Thinking of this, Xu Yong felt that he should be able to increase the fertilization efforts.

When the game came to the end of the quarter, Xu Yong, who was still on the court in the stalemate, saw Green reappear as a substitute No. 4, he took the initiative to switch to Green, and when Green transitioned with the ball, he said: "You look like you are the one who joined later." ”

"Enough!" Green really had enough.

"Smack!" When his mood was up, the ball in his hand had been cut off by Xu Yong in the next second.

Xu Yong performed a trademark 360-degree dunk on the fast break because he was a good guy and could help Green make the top five after the game.

And when he returned to the half court in the retreat, he didn't seem to hear what Green just said, just shook his head at Green and poured a scoop of Yoneda Ko: "It seems that your Warrior career has entered the countdown." ”
