Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 320 Ending Streak
Due to the lack of Curry, the Warriors' starting lineup was adjusted tonight, and Hornacek was the starting lineup. Therefore, without the slightest surprise, the Suns' outside line exploded.

Before the trade deadline, the Suns made a deal with the Bucks, using Jane CBA legend Long Hanjie Humphries in exchange for Craig Hodges of the Bucks.

It's a pity that because Price was cut off by the Warriors, the Cavaliers reused Kevin Johnson this season. As a result, it is even more difficult for the Suns to rise now.

But even in such a difficult situation, tonight the Suns seemed to know that it was the Warriors who made a ghost, and they caught the Warriors and beat them to death.

In this game, the Suns took advantage of the Warriors' incomplete personnel and took advantage of the Warriors' lack of defense on the outside line. 58 points.

Hey, why is it not 57 or 59, why is it 58?
In short, relying on the outstanding performance of the outside line, the Suns finally defeated the Warriors with an upset 118:112, giving the Warriors a two-game losing streak.

In this game, the best performance of the Warriors was Mullin. He scored 24 points and 15 assists on 38 of 6 shots, while Li Weisi scored 20 points and 8 assists. His performance was mediocre.

However, Frank, who learned of the team's loss after the game, didn't feel depressed at all. He just kept having fun and didn't know what he was happy about.

Who would have thought that he would be happy that the Butterfly Effect didn't work the first time around!

After staying with Sonya at home for two days, Curry returned to the team on time and participated in the game against the Trail Blazers that night.

In this game, Mullin continued his excellent state and scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists again. Li Weisi's state has rebounded in this game, but he also scored 25 points and 12 assists, of which at least 5 assists were all in Mullin. Brushed out of Lin.

In addition, the Warriors also had four players who scored in double figures, namely Malone, Price, Hornacek and Schramf.

As for the Trail Blazers, Terry Porter beat Li Weisi tonight. He played 41 minutes and scored 40 points and 12 assists. In addition, Drexler also scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Unfortunately, even if the two scored together 70 points, still failed to change the fate of the empty cut.

In the end, the team lost to the Warriors 121:126, which also helped the Warriors get out of the shadow of losing streak.

After that, the Warriors once again started a wave of winning streaks, Mavericks, Lakers, Kings, Clippers, a wave of 5 consecutive victories, surpassed the Lakers again, and returned to the number one position in the Western Conference.

This season, these two teams are very dishonest in the rankings, up and down, one after another, I don't know if I thought these two teams were playing a roller coaster!
However, what makes Frank even more happy is that the record of the Clippers and the Kings, seeing that there is only one month left before the end of the playoffs, the rankings of each team in the regular season basically will not change much , and the Clippers and the Kings have locked the penultimate and second in the Western Conference.

The Clippers originally exchanged for Sampson and were ready to fight again. Unexpectedly, Sampson was injured again in the middle of the season, and it has been confirmed that he will not be able to return this season.

When trading Sampson before, the Clippers had already been wiped out. Therefore, by now, the Clippers have given up struggling, and the bottom one is the bottom one. What can be done?
Unlike the Clippers, a team that has already resigned to their fate, the Kings are much tougher. They are working hard every game, but unfortunately it is really useless. Looking at the entire league, they are better than the Clippers and the Nets.

Seeing that he was going to get two high-level picks, Frank was both happy and distressed. After all, his team's current lineup is already very luxurious, so how can they have playing time for the two rookies?

Secondly, as far as Frank knows, in this year's draft, there are really not many players who can be spotted by Frank. It feels like there are two more draft picks suddenly, which is a bit extravagant.

For this reason, Frank still needs to use his brain to think about how to deal with the draft pick in his hand after the lottery conference is over.
After five consecutive victories, on the 26th, the Warriors came to the Denver Plateau to challenge the Nuggets away.

In the Western Conference this season, the Warriors and Lakers are in the first gear, while the Nuggets, Trail Blazers and Mavericks are in the second gear.

From the current point of view, relying on the outstanding performance of Gemini, the Nuggets have a faint tendency to lead the other two teams.

This season, Alex English can score 25 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists. Compared with previous years, it seems that the data has declined.

But in fact, it is mainly because his playing time has been shortened a lot, and the number of shots has also decreased, and all of this is due to the improvement of Fat Leaf.

This season, Fat Leaf averaged 18.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. He has contributed 10 triple-doubles in a single season and was selected as an All-Star for the first time.

In fact, Fat Leaf performed very well last season, and even scored 16 triple-doubles in a single season. If it weren't for Li Weisi, Fat Leaf would definitely be selected for the second team last season.

In this era when triple-doubles have not yet depreciated, it is still very difficult for a player to get a triple-double. However, like Liv, who has achieved 16 triple-doubles in a single season, only the "Big O" Oscar Robertson has achieved it in history. Pass.

And tonight, not only did the Nuggets Gemini perform well, but even the other Nuggets' substitute players also stood up.

In the first quarter, the Nuggets took the lead with 38:27, leading the Warriors by 11 points.

Fortunately, the Warriors fought back in the second quarter and scored 36:28 in a single quarter, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

Entering the third quarter, the Warriors made persistent efforts to tie the score.

Afterwards, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war. The two sides came and went, and each side refused to give in. At the end of the game, English died and hit a fatal mid-range shot, completely taking away the game.

In this way, the Warriors swallowed a loss in Denver with 128:131, ending their five-game winning streak.

In this campaign, 4 Nuggets scored 20+, and all five starters scored in double figures. Among them, English scored 29 points and 7 assists, Fat Leaf scored 28 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds, and Michael Adams, who is 178cm tall, scored 27 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, and Blair Rasmussen scored 21 points.

而勇士这边，李为思砍下全场最高的30分13助攻3抢断，穆林得到21分6助攻，马龙得到20分14篮板。

It seems that they played well, but unfortunately, competitive sports are so cruel, there is only one winner, and that is the side that performs better. Obviously, as far as this game is concerned, that side is the Nuggets.
