The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 208 Zhang Bolong Smoking in the Bottom Corner!The listless "General"!
After defeating the Knicks, the Warriors also officially completed their first [-] games of the season.

32 wins and 28 losses, such a result seems to be quite satisfactory, and the ranking in the Western Conference is not high, and it still needs to work unremittingly to keep the place in the playoffs.

But for the Warriors, who have been silent for many years, the team is undoubtedly satisfied with this status quo.

You know, they only won 34 games in the entire season last year.

When deciding to make a deal with the team's top star Baron Davis, the Warriors' management has already made plans to train this season.

After all, the new core Zhang Bolong they have high hopes for is still young, just a seemingly unlimited potential with faint starlight transmission.

This is his first year, and he's still a rookie.

Even if the future is promising, it will take enough time for him to grow up.

However, Zhang Bolong's growth rate from cocoon to butterfly surprised and ecstatic the Warriors management, shocked the entire league, and made the Lakers regret it.

In people's eyes, this Warriors team is very similar to the Trail Blazers team led by Roy, Alder, Oden and others in Zhang Bolong's previous life.

The structure is also very young, the players have great potential, and the atmosphere in the team is harmonious.

Except for Jackson, none of their core players are even over 28 years old and have not yet reached their peak.

The team leader is even the future superstar Zhang Bolong who is not yet 23 years old.

For this team, the only thing holding them back from becoming a strong team is experience.

If this lineup has been polished for a long time, and the inside is matched with a strong support, the Warriors' status in the West is by no means as simple as competing for the playoffs.

They own the future.

……

After a short one-day rest, on March 3, the Warriors team flew to Washington, the capital of the lighthouse country.

The opponent is the Washington Wizards who are somewhat similar to them.

To say that these two teams are similar is not only because their core is a super point guard who loves to throw ultra-long three-pointers,

The recent situation of these two teams is also very close.

The Wizards, like the Warriors, suffered a wave of losing streak after the All-Star Game, and they just got out of the quagmire of defeat.

Worse than the Warriors, they narrowly beat the Atlanta Hawks by only one point after a four-game losing streak, which avoided the embarrassment of a five-game losing streak.

The hip stretching in his latest state is also visible to the naked eye.

However, although the recent situation of these two teams is similar, the situation of the Wizards is much better.

They temporarily rank fourth in the East with a record of 32 wins and 25 losses. Although they may not be able to keep their home court advantage, they can rest easy on their place in the playoffs.

The same is true of the so-called competitors, such as the Nets, Magic, and Heat.

Because the East has been out of gear since No.9.

Whether it's the Pacers or the Knicks, they may be more interested in competing for the No. [-] pick than hitting the playoffs.

It's like, there are only eight teams in the East competing for the eight spots in the playoffs...

In the Wild West, such a thing is completely out of the question.

The Warriors are now ranked No.7 in the West, and there is a big gap with the No.6 Lakers. They also have to face the Nuggets and Clippers who are closely chasing behind them. They are far less prosperous than the Wizards.

Of course, it may be because of the truth of "born in sorrow and died in peace".

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors entered the state early.

Richardson and Harrington opened fire from outside one after another, directly helping the team establish a leading advantage.

Seeing his teammates feel hot, Zhang Bolong was also happy to concentrate on organizing. While maintaining his own offensive threat, he used his elusive passing to help the two in good condition to score consecutively.

After more than half of the first quarter, in addition to these two Warriors, Pietrus hit a three-pointer, and Biedrins also completed two second offensive points in the paint.

The five players in the starting lineup, except for Zhang Bolong, the top scorer, who didn't take a shot, all played well.

But the name of a man, the shadow of a tree,

Zhang Bolong now has the significance of strategic deterrence, even if he does not make a move, the opponents will not dare to relax in the slightest.

To paraphrase a well-known comment, it should roughly read:
"Even if Brother Long stood at the bottom corner smoking for the entire game, the Wizards would still have to send someone to carry the ashtray for Brother Long."

It's no exaggeration.

However, Zhang Bolong, who became an organization master, did not expect to have unexpected gains.

"You really don't shoot?"

Arenas specifically let him go.

"No vote."

Without saying a word, Zhang Bolong threw the ball to Harrington who was out of the bag, and the latter easily made a long shot.

"Are you scared? Afraid of being severely humiliated by Agent 0!"

Arenas challenged.

"It's funny, Gilbert, why am I afraid of my defeated opponent?"

Zhang Bolong laughed.

"Then why don't you dare to make a move?"

Arenas did not give up and continued to provoke each other with words.

"I just don't want to make a move."

"then you--"

"I said big brother..."

Before Arenas could say anything, Zhang Bolong couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted him directly:
"If you want to shoot, you shoot. I didn't defend you to death. What's the matter with pulling me to shoot?"

"Why are you paddling like this, why do you want me to play hard?"

For such a buddhist Zhang Bolong, Arenas, who lost his competitor, felt very bored.

For a player who feels like Kobe can't stop him, state and mood are undoubtedly important factors that affect his performance.

When you meet the strong, you will be strong, and you will be divided into chaotic battles. This is what the "General" is best at.

But in this game, Zhang Bolong, who only knows how to pass the ball, made the "general" who originally wanted to meet his opponent and fight a big fight like a punch in the cotton, and he couldn't arouse his interest.

Seeing that Zhang Bolong really didn't intend to do it himself, he just threw two casually from the outside, and stopped shooting while floating, and instead used the most direct way to score the basket.

Compared with the more blooming of the Warriors, the Wizards are still the basic operation of the "Three Musketeers" leading the team.

In the first quarter of the game, a total of eight players from their team appeared on the stage, but only three scored. They were Arenas who scored 10 points, Butler who scored 6 points and Jamison who scored 4 points.

After the first quarter, the Warriors led by 31 points at 20:11.

In the second quarter, the Wizards' bench played their inside advantage.

In his previous life, Andre Bretche, a famous CBA star, frequently hit the inside and scored. Although he was treated to two hot pot meals by the little butcher, his performance of daring to fight was still impressive.

At the same time, their outside shooter Jarvis Hayes also performed well, hitting consecutive mid-range and long-range shots to help the team narrow the point difference.

At halftime, the Wizards rewritten the score to 51:57.

In the third quarter, Zhang Bolong, who had a halftime break, finally put out his cigarette. He suddenly fired from the outside, and then scored 8 points in a row from inside and outside shots, as if he was ready to close the game.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bolong's awakening also forced out the strongest "General"!
