The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 218 The Warrior's Insider Disaster!See you again Roy!

After accepting Cheng Long's invitation, Zhang Bolong put the matter aside.

As his achievements become more and more valuable, the olive branches thrown at him in Huahua World will come one after another, and all kinds of temptations will become more and more irresistible.

But as a human being in two lifetimes, Zhang Bolong always bears in mind his original intention.

That is to play basketball well.

Everything in my basketball career has just begun, and it is far from the time to put Ma Nanshan on the credit book.

He still has to continue to fight for the playoffs with the Warriors.

In Zhang Bolong's original vision, he really hoped to be ranked No.8 to play against the Mavericks.

After all, according to the trajectory of the previous life, the miracle of Hei Ba was accomplished by the Warriors against the Mavericks.

With the second Suns or the third Spurs, the Warriors would have to laugh if they could win two games.

With Nelson's knowledge of the Mavericks inside out, there's no reason the Warriors, who replaced Davis, couldn't do what they could.

But when he really put himself in the current situation and considered it, Zhang Bolong realized that the initiative was not in his hands at all.

This is not a question of picking seventh or eighth to pick an opponent, but a question of slipping to ninth if you are not careful, and missing the playoffs.

In fact, in his previous life, the Warriors once achieved an excellent record of 16 wins and 5 losses after the All-Star break.

If so, if the Mavericks didn't give old coach Nelson face, after blocking the Clippers with all their strength, they all came off the bench to give the Warriors a big victory, and the Warriors might really be squeezed out of the playoffs by the Clippers.

Of course, the Mavericks, who are focused on the championship and don't pay attention to the Warriors at all, didn't expect that his temporary "good deed" to the former godfather would bring him the disaster of Hei Ba's death...

2007 3 Month 9 Day.

The Warriors ushered in their old rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers, at the Oracle Arena.

In the three matches this season, the Warriors have a slight disadvantage with 1 win and 2 losses.

Anyone who has watched the game knows that the Clippers' style of play is somewhat restrained by the Warriors.

In terms of outside strength, even if they don't have a hot spot like Zhang Bolong, they have a lot of good players such as Mobley and Maggette, and the two sides can't bridge the gap in grades.

But when compared to the inside, "Captain" Brand faced the defense of Harrington and Biedrins, completely turned into a big killer, and took whatever he wanted in the paint.

And his helper, the "primitive" Kaman, who averaged close to a double-double per game, is by no means mediocre.

The combination of these two will always make the Warriors' games passive.

This game is no exception.

With the prestige of five consecutive victories and the advantage of sitting on the home court, the Warriors started off smoothly.

After Zhang Bolong scored six points in a row, he frequently assisted his teammates to complete the scoring. The Warriors started with 13:4.

If the storyline goes this way, the Warriors could be in for another big win.

But the Clippers, who are determined to sprint to the playoffs, will never surrender easily.

Maggette, who came to the starting lineup, still showed his amazing physical talent. Under Jackson's defense, he maintained his tough style.

Although he failed to make two outside shots, this rampant guy caused the Warriors three consecutive defensive fouls, and stood at the free throw line to make up for the difference.

Looking at his bulldozer-like style of play, Zhang Bolong only felt that this guy was more LeBron than the current LeBron.

The point difference between the two teams was slightly close, and it was the Clippers who continued to fire.

Brand's strong inside shots and step-back shots were completely unsolvable. He scored 8 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter, and once led the team to tie the score.

However, under the three-point response of Zhang Bolong and Richardson, the Warriors still took the lead in ending the first quarter with 36:32.

The second quarter became the turning point of the game.

Except for Zhang Bolong, the Warriors' firepower has some signs of misfiring.

Each of the strikers has some shadows of Barnes in the 15 Finals...

Zhang Bolong scored 9 points in a single quarter, but the Warriors only scored 17 points, and only made 17 goals out of 5 shots in the entire quarter. The shooting rate was frighteningly low.

Although the Clippers didn't have a good shooting touch, Brand and Kaman got a lot of offensive rebounds, and Maggette made consecutive fouls and made 6 of 5 free throws in a single quarter. The Clippers reversed the score 29:17.

In the second half, the Warriors felt a little better, and Barnes and Ellis hit outside one after another.

But like the six-pulse Excalibur, the timing of the shot is still not as good as Brand's stable output in the paint.

With the advantage of the inside line, the Clippers' outside line also fired collectively.

Mobley and Cassel responded decisively and maintained a relatively safe score. Even the unknown Daniel Ewing scored 2 three-pointers in a single quarter.

The Clippers continued to lead at 33:27.

Entering the fourth quarter with a 14-point lead, the Clippers still dare not relax their vigilance.

Because there is a guy on the opposite side who can make five three-pointers at any time.

The fact is just as they feared that the Warriors who gave it a go had an 8:0 climax under Zhang Bolong's outstanding performance.

Among them, Zhang Bolong hit 2 ultra-long three-pointers in a row, and the Oracle Arena fell into madness again.

However, the Clippers quickly stabilized their position after the timeout and successfully dragged the game to the end.

At 110:105, the Clippers won the game without any risk, maintaining a threat to the Warriors' playoff tickets with a record of 32 wins and 30 losses.

Two days later, the Warriors came to Portland again, preparing to play against the Trail Blazers who had rested for four days.

So far this season, the Trail Blazers have a record of 26 wins and 36 losses, and their hopes of entering the playoffs are slim.

But what is better than the beginning of the season is that their locker room is more or less stable, and the atmosphere of the team is quite harmonious.

After Roy's voice, Randolph seemed to be enlightened, and the subsequent games were rarely noisy.

Driven by McMillan, although the boss of the team is still named Randolph, the core of the entire team has been established on Roy.

Revisiting Portland, good friend Roy also personally drove to the airport to pick him up.

"Long, long time no see, I really miss you!"

"Me too, Brandon, are you gaining weight?"

"This is really muscle. I am gaining muscle recently. Thank you for your concern!"

The two hugged for a while, and then got into Roy's car.

"How's the team doing recently? That guy didn't make trouble anymore, right?"

"There are a lot less words, and the attitude of the game is still serious. His strength is still here."

Zhang Bolong nodded, Fatty Lan, as long as he plays with his heart, he is definitely at the level of an All-Star.

"It's just that according to what Nate said, the team still has to try to trade him. If you don't break it, you can build it." Roy said.

"The right choice, they must support you and establish you as the only core—"

"It's like the Warriors are to you, right?"

Roy said with a smile, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
