The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 207 Bottom Rebound! "Old Noble" Nix!

After parting with these boys at the airport, Zhang Bolong also directly boarded the team plane and flew to Chicago, the "Wind City" in Illinois.

Sure enough, as Du Xiaoshuai said, Zhang Bolong's passing choice at the last moment of the game made the media move again, even more excited than the winning Bucks.

For a popular fried chicken like him with a lot of traffic, any troubles will be infinitely magnified, let alone such obvious "black spots".

It was like throwing oneself into a trap, and walked into the venue with a stack of materials in hand.

Coupled with the Warriors' recent embarrassing record that is hard to find a win, Zhang Bolong's reputation has been declining all the way, and no one can wait to step on it.

Some people say that he can't afford to be a leader and should stay with the Lakers and serve as Kobe's deputy.

Some people say that if he loses his fighting spirit, he will surely lose his place in the crowd.

Some people pointed the contradiction at the whole Warriors team, bluntly saying that they will directly suffer a catastrophe, and will eventually miss the playoffs.

The previous statement is not groundless. For the Warriors, the three-game losing streak after the All-Star break is actually not the most terrifying.

House seemingly endless rain,

What's even more frightening is that they are about to embark on an intensive expedition in poor form, with four consecutive away games against Eastern teams.

Among them, except for the New York Knicks, whether it is the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards or Detroit Pistons, all of them are strong teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs!

One mistake, it is very possible to have a seven-game losing streak.

A seven-game losing streak in the playoffs?That basically means a whole year of hard work goes to waste.

Therefore, the Warriors also attach great importance to this four-game streak.

Old Nelson gave the death order, at least two of these four games must be fought to maintain a winning rate of more than [-]%, so as not to fight for the precious playoff tickets in the future.

On February 2, the first battle of the expedition started at the United Center where six championship banners were flying.

The Bulls, which once sank after Jordan, finally got on the right track by relying on their group of young people who made Kobe even envious.

So far this season, the Bulls have a record of 33 wins and 27 losses. It is not a problem to enter the playoffs.

In this game, these young talents also contributed a good performance.

Ben Gordon 25 points, Luol Deng 22 points, Safolosha 19 points, Hinrich 17 points, Tyrus Thomas 14 points...

Plus an inside gate Ben Wallace who only scored 2 points but grabbed 15 rebounds.

It can be said that this is the way the Bulls have always won.

However, in this game, the Bulls, who had the advantage of home court, still lost.

Even though their stars are shining, none of them can compare to the "Big Dipper" of the Golden State Warriors!
The Warriors, who had a last stand, were behind at 15:28 in the first quarter, and launched a Jedi counterattack after the start of the second quarter.

Zhang Bolong, the god of basketball, made all nine shots in a single quarter, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 25 points, including a shot from the logo, helping the team directly overtake the score by 44:25 .

In the second half, the Bulls were still immersed in Zhang Bolong's miracle and couldn't extricate themselves, while the "Big Dipper", who became more and more comfortable on both offensive and defensive ends, easily scored 17 points and sent 8 assists at the same time.

In the whole game, he scored 48 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, and scored 9 three-pointers. Such an amazing performance proved how ridiculous those criticisms of himself are.

However, those people don't care whether they are ridiculous, they can still put on another completely different face, and praise Zhang Bolong's brave performance.

This rookie who had just stepped on the dirt was lifted to the sky again.

To make money, not many people care about standing or kneeling.

At 121:113, the Warriors beat the Bulls away under Zhang Bolong's superb performance, ending their three-game losing streak and winning their first four-game winning streak in the Eastern Conference.

Before he had time to see how netizens on the media and social platforms praised him, Zhang Bolong followed the team to the "Big Apple City" - New York.

Real old fans know (dog head), unlike the iron-blooded fighting in the 90s, the NBA in ancient times encouraged offense the most.

In that era when there was almost no defense, it was basically impossible to find any team whose score could not break [-].

The first to raise the banner of defense turned out to be the New York Knicks.

In the 70s, under the leadership of "eternal captain" Willis Reed, the Knicks established their "New York tradition", that is, "never give up the tenacious fighting spirit to fight to the end, and iron-blooded defense. "

In Game 1970 of the 7 Finals, when everyone at Madison Square Garden believed that Willis Reed would miss the game due to injury, he appeared on the court with his injured leg. He scored a jumper over the head of "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain, and staged the most classic "Return of the King" in NBA history.

This scene perfectly interprets the iron-blooded nature of the Knicks that is different from other giants, and it also profoundly affected the later development of the team and even the NBA.

Later, when the NBA official website selected the greatest moment in history, "Reed's return of the king" once ranked second.

In the 1971-1972 season, they restricted the opponent's scoring average to 104.7 points per game, ranking first in the league;

In the 1972-1973 season, this data reached an astonishing 98.2 points!
If it is said that Curry and the Warriors opened the door to the small ball era in Zhang Bolong's previous life, then in that era of crazy offense, it was the Knicks who made the league understand the truth of "defense wins the championship".

It's a pity that when all the teams in the league have learned the tenacity and blood of the Knicks,

Now they have thrown away their fine traditions.

In this game, the new generation of New Yorkers showed little of the spirit of their predecessors.

Starting with Marbury and replacing Boss Ferrer, these two scoring-first alternative point guards just made the Knicks and the Warriors run and bomb!

There was a burst of indiscriminate bombing, and the smoke slowly dissipated.

Even though "Lone Wolf" Marbury and "Big Q" Quentin Richardson both scored 30+, they still failed to continue their firepower with weak substitutes and were defeated by the Warriors' endless offensive tide.

At 106:97, there was not much suspense in the game. The Warriors have reached the pre-set minimum goal during this devil's schedule and won two consecutive victories!

God knows how long it will take for this once glorious old aristocrat of the alliance to rise again after the revived Golden State native leaves New York.

Zhang Bolong sat on the plane, looked down from the porthole, and looked at the dazzling and shocking magnificent skyline of the world's largest city.

The classic quote from Smith in his previous life could not help but float in his ears:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I was five years old when the Knicks won the championship last time, and this year... I'm 51."

　Brothers, there are a lot of tasks that have been arranged recently. I guess I can’t catch up with the code words. I will take a day off tomorrow and update the day after tomorrow!
