The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 288 The Warriors have lost three times in a row? !Add sister-in-law to the Lakers! !
The flames of war have not been completely extinguished, and the whole Warriors team flew to Salt Lake City in the northwest to play back-to-back against the Utah Jazz.

If the Jazz are an away bug, and it is always difficult to play their full strength in away games, then they are enough to explode at twice the combat effectiveness when they are at home, and they are well-deserved home dragons.

Even in this year's playoffs, the Warriors won consecutive victories in the Energy Solutions Arena and won two victories after bloody battles.

But looking back at the process, it was not easy. It was almost like walking on a tightrope, and the difference between victory and defeat was on the line.

In this game, the Jazz also continued to show their momentum.

In the previous battle at Oracle Arena, they didn't know what to do, and they didn't even dare to shout the slogan of revenge too loudly, but now that they have a backer behind them, the temperament of the whole team is very different.

In the first quarter, the physical strength of the Warriors was still strong enough to take the lead under the leadership of Zhang Bolong with three three-pointers.

The Jazz's counterattack also came quickly. Okur, Kirilenko and Boozer fired in turn, and Deron also made two breakthroughs to help the team catch up with the score.

After the old fish left, the young player Ronnie Brewer replaced him and mentioned the starting lineup.

This young player with excellent offense and defense also continued his good performance since the start of the game.

Relying on his three-pointer in the last minute of the first quarter, the Jazz temporarily took the lead at 1:29.

In the second quarter, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

Utah suddenly convulsed and made the basket as wide as the sea.

They made 15 shots in a single quarter, and they hit 13 of them outrageously, scoring 39 points!
Among them, Delong scored 8 points on 7 of 16 shots alone, and it is rare to overwhelm Zhang Bolong in a face-to-face contest.

Facing the same firepower of the Jazz, the Warriors failed to continue the score no matter how hard they chased, falling behind by 11 points at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Jazz, who were chasing after the victory, did not give the Warriors any chance, and they became more and more courageous amidst the crazy sound of "revenge".

In contrast to the Warriors, the exhaustion of back-to-back battles gradually emerged. In order to avoid injuries, Old Nelson was forced to choose to surrender his gun in advance.

At 133:110, seeing that the Warriors, who could not beat them no matter what, were about to become their own demons, the Jazz finally took a breath of relief with a big victory, and moved the big stone on their chest slightly.

After the game, Nelson Sr. and Zhang Bolong also accepted media interviews.

"Hello, Dragon."

"Hello, Caroline."

"Last season, you played a fantastic playoff performance and finally reached the Western Conference Finals. Many fans want to know, what is the goal of the Warriors this year?"

"We are all eager to continue to improve." Zhang Bolong replied.

"Do you think the team is stronger than last season?"

"Yes, because I am stronger."

This answer prevented the reporter from asking questions about the comparison between old and new players, and there was a burst of good-natured laughter in the venue.

"Currently, the Warriors have suffered a two-game losing streak. How do you think the team should overcome the difficulties?"

"This is my team and I will take responsibility."

……

Three days later, the Warriors, who were waiting for work at home, suffered a three-game losing streak.

After the game, the Los Angeles media used "Dragon uses practical actions to explain how he takes responsibility" as the news headline.

It's not about yin and yang...

Because of this game, Zhang Bolong did his best.

Facing the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers, Zhang Bolong and James, the two new generation leaders, launched a head-to-head confrontation like sparks hitting the earth.

Zhan Huang bombed the audience with 44 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists in a super triple-double;

Dragon Emperor hit 10 three-pointers and scored 51 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists.

This is also the first 50+ performance of the season.

Even if you lose, no one can blame you.

The game was anxious from the beginning to the last second, the two sides took the lead alternately more than a dozen times, and the maximum point difference was only 6 points.

In the end, Cavaliers teenager Gibson grabbed the show and hit a quasi-lore three-pointer to help the Cavaliers beat the Warriors 116:113.

After the game, all the Golden State fans stood up and offered all their support and applause for the team.

James also exchanged jerseys with Zhang Bolong under countless flashing lights.

"You are strong again, Dragon, I am looking forward to how far you will evolve next time."

"That's because I still have room for improvement, and you are already at the peak."

The two boasted about their business, and the scene of heroes cherishing heroes also made the headlines of news reports.

While the outside world praised his explosive performance, Zhang Bolong was frowning at the old Nelson's home.

The team's recent performance has made him a little worried.

I didn't expect that one day I would become the leader of the Kongban group.

"Stop drinking first..."

"Let's talk about the matter, don't delay my drinking."

Seeing old Nelson's calm look, Zhang Bolong's mood also calmed down a lot, and his brows were slightly relaxed.

"Coach, what do you think is wrong with us? 1 win and 3 losses, and some morale problems."

"It's normal, boy. A team that is running in is bound to experience turmoil in performance. This season has just begun, and the best is yet to come."

The old God Nelson is still there, his coaching career is older than Zhang Bolong's life, he has experienced everything, and he seems calm.

"But the Celtics have won four consecutive victories, and their lineup has changed much more than ours."

"The changes in the lineup cannot be generalized. Each of KG, Pierce and Allen has the ability to kill the game alone. Even if the team's tactics are not good and other players can't stand up in time, they still have three top players who can help the team. past."

Old Nelson said.

"As for us, you are the only player at this level, so we need other players to develop a tacit understanding and integrate into the tactical system. Strictly speaking, we are the one that needs to be adjusted more."

Zhang Bolong nodded with a vague understanding.

"Maybe, but I think we have to improve our defense."

"Run and bomb + defend?"

"It's not impossible. Our mobility is the best in the league, and we also have a defensive master like Raja. At least we can't let the Jazz throw the ball into our basket as easily as throwing garbage!"

"What are your thoughts?"

"Bring Mark to the starting lineup and see the effect."

Biedrins may be a more suitable center for the run-and-gun system, but the grown-up Gasol is definitely the better one.

In particular, his deterrence on the defensive end and supporting role on the offensive end are rare among big men.

The only thing lacking is that they are too young and inexperienced.

But what else can make people grow faster than actual training in the NBA?

Old Nelson pondered for a while, and said:

"I will slowly increase his playing time and the frequency of playing with the starting lineup. When it is appropriate, I will let him go on top to see the effect."

While the two were discussing changes in the lineup, the media broke out another big deal that could change the league structure.

The Lakers officially announced that they got All-Star power forward Paul Gasol from the Grizzlies through a trade!
