The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 169 Discussion on Trading!About seducing KG!
In this game,

"Warcraft" Howard broke out completely, crushing the Warriors' inside line with superhuman resources.

Whether it was Biedrins or Foyle, or even the two of them together, they were still completely helpless against Howard, who was fully fired.

In the whole game, "Warcraft" made 18 of 12 shots and 15 of 8 free throws, scoring 32 points.

This is nothing, what is really crazy is that he scored 25 rebounds in a rampage, including up to 9 offensive rebounds and 16 backcourt rebounds!
At the same time, like swat a fly with the palm of his hand, he also sent out five blocks!
It can be said that Howard alone supported the entire inside line of the Magic and completed the feat of one tie and nine!
With his god-level performance, the Magic's outside line group also got plenty of space, and they opened up as a matter of course.

The starter Ariza made 4 of 2 three-pointers, Tony Batty made 1 of 1,

The bench has even more firepower. Kenyon During made 4 of 3 three-pointers, and Keith Bogans made 5 of 3.

The combination of internal and external lines played efficiently, allowing the Magic to take the victory from Golden State logically.

Although Biedrins also picked up 15 rebounds, but in front of the "Warcraft", he was still like a weak child and did not show much resistance.

At 101:87, the Warriors suffered a two-game losing streak.

After the game, the old Nelson frowned, and he realized more and more that the team should equip Zhang Bolong with a good inside player.

At least, there must be enough hardness, and while ensuring rebounds, it also needs to have a certain offensive ability.

Although Biedrins' athletic ability is perfect for running and bombing tactics, his offensive methods are rough and single, which will undoubtedly make the opponent's defensive focus shift to the outside of the team.

It is also a kind of restriction and hindrance to Zhang Bolong and others.

If the team can really have an inside attacker like Stoudemire with super ability to face the basket, he is confident that he can bring the Warriors to 50 wins and even more victories.

But in the league, there is only one Stoudemire.

"Who else can meet the conditions?"

Just when the old Nelson and Chris Mullin were discussing how to trade for a powerful insider,
In the game two days later, the Warriors lost the game again because they were blasted inside.

On December 2007, 12, the Warriors faced their previously defeated opponent, the Miami Heat, at home.

In this game, Wade and Zhang Bolong finally switched jerseys. The two scored 27 points and 25 points respectively.

But it was the Heat's veteran "Iron Man" Alonzo Mourning and the inside player Udonis Haslem who decided the winner of the game.

Facing the inside line consisting of Biedrins and Harrington, Mourning made 10 of 6 shots and 7 of 7 free throws in the game. He scored 19 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, and 5 offensive rebounds. It was almost like eating Biedrins alive.

And Haslem was also very active. Although Biedrins blocked two goals, he was unyielding and still fought with all his strength. His 6 offensive rebounds also won more offensive opportunities for the Heat.

On the other hand, the Warriors' 32-of-8 shooting from the outside line is obviously a bit unspeakable. The Heat, who made 30 of 13 shots from the opposite side, learned a good lesson both inside and outside.

Although the old Nelson is a great coach, he is really not very good at training defense.

Coupled with the fact that the team's assistant coach Silas is also good at offense, this also makes it impossible for the Warriors to improve for the time being when they lose their defense inside and outside.

After losing to the Heat, the three-game losing streak of the Warriors has become 20 wins and 18 losses, and the top eight positions in the Western Conference have also become a bit unsafe.

In addition to the Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs, the top three this season, the Lakers, Jazz, and Rockets also occupy the remaining positions in the Western Conference playoffs.

The Warriors are easy to compete, and to be honest, they only have the seventh and eighth positions.

Currently ranked seventh is the Denver Nuggets who traded to "answer" Iverson.

The momentum of the Nuggets this season is also good. Their current record is 22 wins and 17 losses, leading the eighth-ranked Warriors by 1.5 wins.

Although the Clippers behind the Warriors are two games behind with 18 wins and 20 losses, this is because the team's main players Brand, Mobley and Kaman missed several consecutive games.

Keeping them healthy will undoubtedly pose a great threat to the Golden State people.

The coaching staff specially held a team meeting, analyzed the game video, analyzed and guided the team's performance in these two games, and Zhang Bolong also gave a speech to boost morale.

After the meeting, Nelson called Zhang Bolong to the office again.

"We really need to improve our defense. The key is the inside line. There is only one Andris and it is still a bit weak." Zhang Bolong said.

"Do you have any suggestions for the team to trade?" Nelson asked.

As the core of the team, Zhang Bolong's suggestions and intentions are also factors that the team must consider when making decisions.

"Hmm..." Zhang Bolong thought for a while, "What do you think of KG?"

"Kevin Garnett?!" Old Nelson was startled at first, and then fell into deep thought.

Then, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"It's not impossible. KG is not happy in Minnesota. This is already known. Now, the 76ers have proved to everyone that even Iverson can be traded. Garnett doesn't make sense no."

Zhang Bolong added.

"It's like this, and only the joining of KG will make our defense qualitatively change."

"And his athletic ability, his energy on both ends of the offense and defense will make our small ball more perfect." Zhang Bolong laughed, "It's just that we may have to pay a big price."

"As long as they don't ask for you." Old Nelson smiled, "I'll tell Chris, let's keep going for the next game."

……

On January 1, the three-game losing streak of the Warriors finally won a victory.

They defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, who currently appear to be the biggest threat to their playoff position, 108:93 at home.

In this game, although the inside twin towers composed of Brand and Kaman still caused a lot of trouble for the Warriors, the two scored 26 rebounds together, including 8 valuable offensive rebounds.

But Biedrins, who was holding his breath in the previous defeats, worked hard today, thinking that it was his own fault that dragged down the team. He gritted his teeth and grabbed 16 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds. Contributed 3 blocks,
This performance also won praise and praise from everyone in the team.

In addition, Zhang Bolong, Ellis, and Jackson all scored more than [-] points. The Warriors covered the perimeter with sufficient firepower and won the game by virtue of their offensive advantages.
