NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 180 All Stars

In the pre-match press conference, Popovich thanked Nelson for letting the Spurs come to fourth place in the Western Conference. Nelson blushed when he learned about it, and encouraged the Warriors to win the Spurs.

But the Warriors still lost this game. When they met Duncan again, O'Neal felt completely tortured by Duncan again. As the treasure of the last century, the two fought for a whole game, and finally ended with the victory of the Spurs.

After this loss, the Warriors only won one game until the middle of January, ushered in a dismal 1-game losing streak, and fell into hell instantly.

The Warriors suffered a series of injuries.

In the first game in January, in the Warriors' home game against the Mavericks, Crawford felt hot in the first quarter and was double-teamed by the Mavericks in the second quarter.

Crawford is a player with a strong streetball factor. He made a tough layup under double-teaming, landed on one foot after an aerial confrontation, and never stood up again.

Crawford is the only point guard for the Warriors with a starting level. Without Crawford, the Warriors can only let Livingston, who is watching the drinking fountain, play, and Morrow will replace Livingston as a substitute.

After the system inspection after the game, the Warriors officially announced that Crawford had a fracture in his left calf. After discussion with the team, it was decided that Crawford would temporarily not participate in the game for the next 40 days.

However, this was only the beginning of the Warriors' disaster. On January 1, the Warriors challenged the Rockets away.

One and a half minutes into the third quarter, Stephen Jackson was stepped on by O'Neal while grabbing a rebound. After inspection, Jackson suffered a fracture in his left foot and expected to return in 1-4 weeks.

Fans have long guessed this result. O'Neal weighs 147KG. In a fierce game, the impact force is even greater, and this kind of injury is inevitable.

What worries many fans is that after another general is injured, the Warriors have no outside starters left.

Lowry was traded, Crawford and Jackson were injured, Li Zhi was already lying on the hospital bed, and the outside line could only be supported by Livingston, Nick Young, Green and Morrow.

In the next game against the Trail Blazers, the Warriors had a rare situation where two players played the whole game.

There is really no one available for the Warriors outside, which makes Brandon Roy feel good.Roy scored 29 points and 7 assists, leading the Blazers to avenge the Warriors.Even though O'Neal also wants to give and give in the interior, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the Warriors can no longer find a stable offensive point except for O'Neal.

Another problem for the Warriors is that they are unorganized and their tactics are chaotic.After all, Livingston is still a bit short of fire. He has the ability, but he can't maintain the Warriors' rapid rotation offense. The Warriors have no choice but to fall into an infinite singles situation.

Li Zhi watched the situation of the warriors at home, anxious.

With the Warriors losing to the Jazz again on February 2, the Warriors finally passed the two-month chaotic period, because Li Zhi soon returned.

The Oakland media has accused the Warriors management. Behind the Warriors' two months of chaos, it reflects the Warriors management's inaction. Many Warriors fans have already called for Chris Mullin to dismiss get out of class.What's more, it directly asked Chris Cohan to sell the team quickly. The Warriors need a new boss to lead them out of the haze.

Although Li Zhi is about to make a comeback, Li Zhi inevitably missed the All-Star Game. To be on the safe side, Nelson did not let Li Zhi participate, which has to be said to be a pity.

The results of the All-Star voting came out. Li Zhi was the starting small forward in the West, and Anthony of the Nuggets also announced that he would not participate in this All-Star due to injury. In this way, there was no one in the small forward position in the West. This made Warriors fans scold Beasley again.

This time the All-Star is held in Phoenix, Phoenix. Although Li Zhi cannot participate, as the starting small forward of the All-Star voting, he still has to participate in the charity activities organized by the NBA. In theory, the itinerary is as follows:
On the 14th, I went to participate in the star community service to give back to the fans. In the afternoon, at the McDonald's All-Star Charity Game, Li Zhi watched the excitement.

The 15th is the fan carnival, and Li Zhi will meet the fans, give them autographs, and revel with the fans.

By the time of the All-Star Game on the 16th, Li Zhi will be fine, just watch the game quietly.

Avril did not accompany Li Zhi because he was very busy with work. Li Zhi wondered, are all successful women so busy?

However, on the afternoon of the 15th, Li Zhi met another beautiful woman, Ye Xiaoxiao, who came to report as an intern reporter for ESPN, and found Li Zhi after work.

Walking on the streets of Phoenix City, Li Zhi sighed: "It's really unlucky for someone who thought he could make the All-Star starter."

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's a good thing, let the fans know how important you are."

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile, "I'd rather let the team win more games, and I don't really value personal reputation too much."

After two months of ups and downs, the Warriors have fallen to the sixth position in the Western Conference. O'Neal's ability to lead the team is still very strong. Li Zhi admires O'Neal from the bottom of his heart.

Even Jordan couldn't do better than O'Neal under such circumstances.

Ye Xiaoxiao teased: "Didn't you say you want to fight for the best defensive player? It seems that there is no chance."

Li Zhi suddenly had a bitter face and said, "No way, I missed such a game, next season."

The two-month absence also means that Li Zhi missed all the awards this season, including the best defensive player, and can only compete for the honors of scoring, assists, and rebounding.

But Li Zhi, the scoring champion, doesn't want to. Wade has a strong momentum. This season, more than half of the scoring champions belong to him. Li Zhi seems to be the rebound and assist champion.

On the evening of the 15th, accompanied by Ye Xiaoxiao, Li Zhi watched the All-Star Rookie Game. Compared with the previous one, this year's Rookie Game was nothing to watch.

What Li Zhi cares about is his teammate Morrow. Morrow got a lot of opportunities during the period when the Warriors were full of injuries. He averaged 10.1 points per game and had a burst performance of 37 points in a single game. He was naturally selected for the All-Star Rookie Game.

However, during the game, Morrow didn't get many chances. He only hit two three-pointers in the game, and then he didn't perform again.

The first grade was a group of singles monsters. Westbrook, Rose, Beasley, and OJ Mayo took turns to control the ball and attack. The four were very suitable for this kind of exhibition game without defense.

Rose and Mayo are both the team's top leaders, and Beasley and Westbrook are the team's second leaders. It is really not easy to pass these four.

However, the four performed well, but they couldn't lead the first grade to win.Under the leadership of Durant, the second grade took the game away in a wave of turbulence in the fourth quarter.Durant made 25 of 17 shots and scored 46 points to win the MVP.

Morrow didn't play well, so he ran over to complain to Li Zhi, but seeing that Li Zhi was accompanied by a beautiful woman, he had no choice but to go to O'Neill angrily.

PS: There is a basis for letting Crawford get injured. Crawford did suffer a serious injury in 09.
