PS: I forgot to write the chapter name in Chapter 179, I am deeply sorry, and I will add another chapter again, please forgive me.

Three straight losses.

The Warriors did not have Li Zhi, and their competitiveness has indeed dropped a notch. O'Neill can't stand alone, and he has no choice but to blow up the opponent's inside line and be cut at a critical moment. Nelson dare not put O'Neal on the court at a critical moment.

After losing to the Magic, the Warriors finally ushered in a victory, beating the Grizzlies away.

O'Neal showed off his power and blasted the Grizzlies inside, and the Warriors clocked out of get off work in three quarters.In this game, the Grizzlies lost Monta Ellis, and only Conley and Gay could keep up with the Warriors, beating the Grizzlies 100:90.

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies tried to counterattack under the leadership of Gay, but Nick Young convulsed and scored 10 points in a single quarter, extinguishing the flames of the Grizzlies' counterattack.

Nelson especially praised Nick Young's performance after the game.

"We lost Li, but there are other players who stand up. Two months is a long time. We hope that Li will not rush to come back and recover from his injuries. Other players will take on Li's role."

When Nelson's words went out, the media's speculation on the Warriors was a lot less.But there is some truth in the words, and I am afraid that Nelson himself does not know.

Li Zhi's task is not only to score, his containment force is the main factor in the Warriors' outside tactics, and Li Zhi's defense is an indispensable thing for the Warriors.

Nick Young can score, but compared to Li Zhi in terms of defense, he is a heaven and a hell.It was Barnes who replaced Li Zhi's defensive task. He did a good job, but he was far behind in offense.

The new player David Lee, although both called Li Zhi and Li Zhi, is not like Li Zhi in defense at all. His defense is at the air level, and he can only grab rebounds and low-post offense throughout the game. There is no hope in defense.

The Warriors' four-game losing streak made them fall out of the top four in the Western Conference. The Nuggets and Trail Blazers seized the opportunity to secure the second and third places.This made many Warriors fans dissatisfied, and many fans on the Internet condemned Chris Mullin who let Lowry go.

The Warriors lost Lowry, so Crawford could only play the starting position. A David Lee and a Crawford, the two old Knicks teammates laughed at Yanyan when they met, but they couldn't laugh on the court because they couldn't defend well. Now the two brothers detoured when they saw Nelson, for fear that Nelson would catch them and scold them.

In order to appease the anger of the fans, Chris Mullin could only pan for gold in the free market.

It seems that Chris Mullin has taken a fancy to Gerald Green, who was cut by the Mavericks.

Gerald Green is 203cm tall, weighs 91kg, and has amazing physical fitness. The title of two-time dunk king is still attractive.This season, Green played 18 games for the Mavericks and scored only 5.2 points. He is not suitable for Rick Carlisle's system. The Mavericks have Nowitzki, Kidd, and Terry. He has no chance, only being cut.

Now coming to the Warriors, although he is a temporary worker, his ability cannot be ignored.

Nelson let him start. Gerald Green, who knows that opportunities are hard-won, cherishes this opportunity very much. He works hard on the defensive end. He can break through with the ball and make three-pointers on offense, which relieves Crawford's defensive pressure very well.

On December 12, the Warriors played an away game against the Clippers. The strengthened brave soldiers took the Clippers without bloodshed, embarrassing the Clippers management who called the Warriors the "garbage recycling station" at the beginning of the season.

Baron Davis, who was signed from the Warriors with a big contract, was injured recently and was reimbursed for the season. He did not enter the activation list for this game. The Clippers management paid the price for their choice.

Eric Gordon, the No. 7 pick selected this year, performed well, and his three-point shooting rate was close to 40%. In this game, he scored 27 points under Jackson's defense, but his defense was also very bad, allowing Jackson to score 25 points.

After losing to the Warriors, the Clippers lost 8 games in a row and finished last in the Western Conference.

Following this trend, the Clippers will have no problem at all getting the No. [-] pick next year, so Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor said bluntly: "Our goal this season is to be bad, and get Blake Griffin next season. He will bring a new future to the Clippers with Byron and Eric."

On December 12, the Warriors defeated the Kings in an away game 23:109, O'Neal scored 70 points, and the Clippers continued their winning streak. It seems that the loss of Li Zhi did not seem to have a great impact.

Except for Kevin Martin, the Kings don't have any players who can be named. They let Artest go in the summer, and this season began to slump.Kevin Martin was out with a wrist contusion before this game, which is why the score gap in the game is so large.

Like the Clippers, the King's goal this season is to play poorly. They have taken a fancy to the talented swingman Tyreke Evans of the University of Memphis. This is a very talented player who is good at helping the team play a smooth game.

The Warriors won another game without Li Zhi, and when the media couldn't help but show off their operations, the Warriors lost.

On February 2, the Warriors challenged the Suns. Both sides lost their cores and used bombardment tactics. O'Neal was crazy double-teamed and it was very difficult to score.

Although O'Neal scored 10 points in the first quarter, he fouled twice and couldn't play in the second quarter.

The veteran Warriors star Bitrins came off the bench in the second quarter. He was facing the inexperienced Jordan Jr. and the defensive David Lee. Under Nash's organization, Bitrins was like an All-Star.

When O'Neal came back in the third quarter, the Warriors were 14 points behind the Suns.In the second half, Belinelli, as a surprise player, scored 9 points and once again helped the Suns widen the point difference.

The Warriors can't afford to lose. The competition in the West is too fierce. The Spurs, the fifth place in the West, were only half a game away from the Warriors.

Back at home, the Warriors will face the Spurs after two days of rest.

Spurs coach Popovich worked as an assistant under Nelson. In the middle of the 1991-92 season, Spurs owner McCombs fired Brown and his entire coaching team.

Recommended by Larry Brown, Popovich became the assistant coach of Warriors vice president and head coach Nelson.For Popovich, Nelson Sr. represented some uncharted territory.

In the 1991 playoffs, the 44-win Warriors defeated the 101-win Spurs with an average of 55 rounds per game. The ubiquitous offense and defense of the Warriors throughout the series almost subverted Popovich’s understanding of the basketball game. This also became his motivation to join the Warriors.

Popovich studied under the old Nelson for two seasons, and then returned to the Spurs again to have the current Spurs system.

When old friends met, two old men in their [-]s and [-]s started talking.
