Chapter 256 Fighting the Spurs Again
The Golden State Warriors have won 14 consecutive victories. Under the leadership of Ouyang, they have defeated strong teams such as the Eagles and Jazz. This season, they have truly become a powerful team, a team that can make a difference in the playoffs Strong team, great army.

But when defeating the Jazz, the Warriors have already shown many problems.First of all, they rely on the outside line this season. The inside line is really empty. It is really difficult for David Lee to make a difference inside.This kind of problem was initially covered up by their super touch on the outside, but now the Warriors' problems have gradually begun to be exposed to opponents.

The first is that their major outside scorers rely on good touch, but when they encounter a team like the Jazz that relies on muscles to play, their Warriors will feel very uncomfortable.In addition, Curry, who showed super offensive ability at the beginning of the season, seemed to hit a rookie wall when facing Deron.

After Ellis was injured, Curry's explosion largely filled the offensive gap left by Ellis' injury, but now that Curry has hit the rookie wall, it is really not good news for the Warriors.Although Yi Jianlian has found his place in the Warriors, the Warriors' strength has not yet reached its peak.

Now the outside world has different views on the Warriors. Some are optimistic that as long as Ouyang maintains his current efficiency, the Warriors will be a strong team, but some people think that relying on Ouyang alone cannot guarantee the Warriors’ strong firepower. ?The Lakers can only stop in the first round of the playoffs for several consecutive seasons.

But not only how to say it, the future games still depend on Ouyang's performance.Maybe Curry will walk out of the rookie wall in just a short time like Ouyang at the beginning, maybe someone from the Warriors will stand up to replace Curry's vacancy, but this is just talk, no one knows what the future of the Warriors will be. How about it.

Golden State Warriors training room!
"Brother Lian, are you still training?" When Ouyang walked out of the strength training room, he found that Ah Lian was still practicing shooting!That's why I asked this question.

Ah Lian seemed a bit cautious, he was never a person who was good at expressing his emotions, but facing his compatriots, Ah Lian would not be too restrained.

"Ouyang, aren't you training extra?" Ah Lian also made a joke of Ouyang.This is also a real expression of emotion. Yi Jianlian was selected by the Bucks with the sixth overall pick in the first round as a rookie in the lottery.He performed very well in the first season, but so many think tanks in the league analyzed the technical characteristics of the UAE in a short period of time, so that the UAE fell into the rookie wall.

It was later that he had regained his confidence and added more offensive methods, but at this time, Ah Lian was used by the coach as an insider Curry, wasting his soft touch in vain.Now in the Warriors, old Nelson has analyzed the United Arab Emirates.

In the last game against the Jazz, the old Nelson did not play more playing time for the UAE than his previous coaches, but once the old Nelson played the UAE, it was continuous time.If you play 20 minutes, you are on the court for 20 minutes at once. Under such circumstances, the UAE scored 15 points and 8 rebounds, which is the best performance in the last two seasons.

"Oh? Haha, that's fine, let's train together!" After saying these words, Ouyang and Ah Lian trained together, but at this time, Ah Lian saw Ouyang hit consecutive shots, and said a little embarrassedly: "Ouyang, why did your shots fail? So accurate? Do you have any tricks?"

It is not without reason that the United Arab Emirates is cautious. Not everyone is willing to pass on offensive skills to others.If it is after retiring, then these players may pass on their offensive skills to others, but now that Ouyang is still in his prime, the UAE feels that most people will not pass on their skills to themselves.

In fact, not every team is like this. For example, the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs are all good places to train new players, but the Bucks and Nets were the kind of teams that were alienated, so Ah I think all NBA teams are like this.

"Huh? Yes! Let's communicate, huh! Your hand shape is fine, you can lower the arc and give it a try..." The two began to study shooting in the training room, and their next opponent, San Antonio, was already ready. hair! "

When Ouyang walked out of the training hall, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Looking at the sky full of stars, Ouyang walked to Jinzhou Plaza inexplicably, which seemed a bit narrow compared to Los Angeles Plaza.But Ouyang is not here to see the scenery.

At the Los Angeles Plaza, Ouyang was exposed to basketball here, and then met Kobe here, thus joining the NBA.And it was here that he met his first woman, Dongfang Ting.Immediately afterwards, it was here that he turned against the referee once in the league, and became friends with Durant.

Then the Los Angeles Lakers defeated Boston in the Finals. Los Angeles fans also met Ouyang and the others here, and set up the huge championship sign here.And left his name there, vowing to work hard for the championship.

But now Ouyang was sitting on the steps beside the square, looking at the sky full of stars, Ouyang suddenly sighed helplessly.Ouyang felt a little sad. The brothers who were in Los Angeles have now gone their separate ways. Only Kobe, Gasol, Odom and others are still there.

And now that he has become an absolute core in Golden State, Ouyang feels that he can no longer return to Los Angeles.It is no longer possible to fulfill his original promise.In fact, what Ouyang hopes most is to fight for the championship with his brother at the beginning, but it is no longer possible.

With a sigh, Ouyang stopped thinking about it.The most important thing now is to help your team go further. The Warriors are no longer the Warriors they were two seasons ago, but Ouyang also knows that the Warriors are not yet a championship-level team. How far can they go? Ouyang himself doesn't know.

……

San Antonio is a team with a glorious history, and now they are still a championship-level team.Just like what the media said, the Spurs have been like a day for ten years, no matter which season they are strong contenders for the championship.This season is not the first time Ouyang has played against them, but every time they give Ouyang a different feeling.

This is the third time the two teams have played against each other this season. The Warriors led by Ouyang have already lost the previous two times.Because Curry hit the rookie wall, the current Warriors are not at their peak, and their strength can only rely on Ouyang alone, so no one outside is optimistic about this battle.

It was David Lee and Duncan who jumped the ball. Now Duncan is not at his peak, and he is too lazy to compete with David Lee.The Warriors got the first chance to attack, and Curry took control of the ball and slowly advanced. Because of the poor performance in the last game, Curry had a big blow to his confidence, so Curry did not come by himself for the first attack. Instead, he called Ouyang inside immediately.

This is the second time that Ouyang has faced Duncan this season. The two of them explode each other every time. Now Ouyang has grown into a real power forward.Whether it's big rebounds or offense, Ouyang is no worse than other power forwards. The only thing that doesn't work is the interior defense.

But the Warriors are a team that doesn't care about defense, so Ouyang's shortcoming is not a shortcoming.For the first attack, Ouyang chose to play face-to-face, and he wanted to give full play to his advantage in footwork.Although his low-post singles has a certain degree of enthusiasm, if he is playing Duncan, then Ouyang has no advantage at all, so Ouyang only has the face frame.

After continuous trial steps, Ouyang fully showed the mentality of beating James.This kind of outside technique is not something that inside players can defend at all. After continuous changes of direction, Ouyang directly passed Duncan with one step, and then went straight to the layup.Immediately back to defense, the current Spurs can be described as a versatile King Kong, with all kinds of tactics.

If they are allowed to play the fast break they are good at, the Warriors will really lose their lives.The Spurs can play fast break, but what they are best at is positional warfare.Parker pushed forward slowly, then made a sharp change of direction when facing Curry, accelerated in vain and passed Curry with one step.

Ouyang's defense speed may be the fastest in the entire league, but Parker is also known as the best center in the league.It's not that he is a real center, but that he has rich inside scoring ability and means.And the hit rate is very high.

It seems that Parker has made great preparations for today's game, and he also has a deep understanding of Ouyang's defense speed.So he made a small throw before Ouyang made a move and threw the basketball into the basket before Ouyang made a move, scoring two points for the Spurs.

Now the Warriors' offense may rely on Ouyang alone, and David Lee allocated the basketball to Ouyang.Here Ouyang immediately launched a fast attack at full speed, and no one could stop him.Naturally, Duncan, who was facing him, couldn't catch up with him.And whether Parker can catch up is another matter, even if he catches up, it may not be able to stop Ouyang who has already made a full move.

Sure enough, even Bonner here has returned to defense in advance.But facing Ouyang who was rushing up quickly, he didn't know how to help.Because Ouyang was constantly changing directions while traveling at high speed, he really didn't know what kind of attack Ouyang would choose.

After the continuous change of direction, Ouyang looked at Bonner who kept retreating, and directly shot a forward jumper. This attack was a three-pointer.Ouyang seems to shoot casually. In fact, Ouyang has practiced this kind of offense many times in the training room. This kind of shooting is actually one of his best offensive methods.
