Chapter 142 Every Game Matters
Three days later, there was no doubt that Scarlett had difficulty walking again.
The Warriors' post-All-Star schedule isn't very friendly, with mostly road games and multiple back-to-backs.
Although the tacit understanding between Zhou Yang and Curry is getting better and better, and the running-in with other teammates is getting better and better, but the record is still not satisfactory.
With six games left in the regular season, the Warriors are in seventh place in the Western Conference.
This location is dangerous.
Because the Warriors are only one game ahead of the No. [-] Spurs, and the difference between the No. [-] and No. [-] Trail Blazers, the Rockets, is also very small.
If these 6 games are not played well, there is a high probability that they will fall out of the playoffs.
Therefore, before the 6 games, the old coach Nelson specially called the whole team and held a small meeting.
"The regular season is coming to an end, our situation is very dangerous, you should all know! But we have only one goal now, and that is the playoffs!"
"We want to play the remaining 6 games as the finals! Do you understand?"
"understood!"
The player answered loudly.
Old Nelson's speech is concise and concise. He has a characteristic that he doesn't speak much, but combined with his tone, expression, and body movements, it is particularly contagious.
Needless to say, Zhou Yang and Curry, the two of them will definitely fight, because the result of the sixth place in the Western Conference was mainly achieved by the two of them.
So Nelson's speech was mainly aimed at other players.
For Warriors fans, being able to keep the sixth position in the West is already very satisfying.
The Warriors have been rotten for so many years, and the cohesion of the fans has long been scattered. Now relying on the Splash Brothers, they finally see the hope of rising!
These six games happen to be three home games and three away games.
The next game is an away game against the Bucks in the East.
This is the second matchup between the two teams, the last time the Warriors beat the Bucks at home.
And because of that victory, Zhou Yang's performance completely surpassed Jennings, and Zhou Yang also won the best rookie award.
After Jennings lost, he was honest for a while.
But at the end of the regular season, the Bucks also ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, and the playoffs were very close.
So Jennings also uttered wild words before the game, he must take revenge and blow up Zhou Yang!
To be honest, the two are no longer players of the same level.
But the NBA is like this, anyone can challenge the superstar, as for whether you can win or not, it depends on your ability.
In case it really blows up, you can blow it for a few days.
Anyway, it's normal to lose, no one will laugh at it.
[-] p.m., Bradley Center, Milwaukee.
The starting lineup of the Warriors is Zhou Yang, Curry, Maggette, Jackson and Andris.
The Bucks' starting five are Jennings, Bogut, Delfino, Mbah a Moute and Ilyasova.
With a jump ball in the middle circle, Bogut grabbed the first wave of the ball.
Although this guy's character is not good, but as a center forward, his talent is still good, which can be regarded as the passing line of the number one pick.
The Bucks attack and Jennings dribbles past half court.
Zhou Yang sneered, and immediately went up to meet him.
It stands to reason that Zhou Yang should be facing Delfino, and Curry should defend Jennings.
However, Zhou Yang couldn't be persuaded by Jennings' wild words before the game.
Seeing Zhou Yangfang himself, Jennings was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood.
That being the case, come on!
After most of the season, Jennings has also made great progress. While ensuring the offense, his organizational skills have improved, and he has also stabilized a lot.
He knew Zhou Yang's defense was good, so he didn't break through easily. He dribbled the ball slowly, observing the positions of his teammates and Zhou Yang's center of gravity.
Zhou Yang stared at Jennings, and at the same time waved his hands to make gestures to his teammates, telling them to pay attention to people and not to let him pass the ball.
Suddenly, Jennings made a feint, then dribbled the ball under the crotch with a cross step, and quickly changed to extraordinary!
I have to say that Jennings' extraordinary moves are very coherent and sharp.
Unfortunately, it was Zhou Yang he met.
[Death Coil] Arrangement!
Snapped!
Just when Jennings thought he had missed Zhou Yang, the ball in his hand suddenly dropped.
When he came back and turned around to grab it, it was too late.
After Zhou Yang steals the ball, quickly push back!
Since the two were already at the top of the arc, they counterattacked, and there was no one in front of them.
Jennings was indeed fast, but his strength and speed were not as good as Zhou Yang's. After a few steps, he gave up.
Zhou Yang went to the meeting single-handedly, and easily smashed the battle ax!
boom!
Zhou Yang scored two points for the Warriors, and set the lead first!
This is what is needed in away games.
Curry ran over excitedly, bumped his chest and roared with Zhou Yang.
The home fans fell silent for a moment.
The Bucks attack.
This time Jennings didn't compete with Zhou Yang, he was discouraged and passed the ball to Delfino before halftime.
Delfino is a good [-]-pointer, but he's just an open [-]-point shooter.
Under Curry's defense, his three-pointer missed.
Since Curry trained with Zhou Yang, his strength has grown rapidly, because his ankles are no longer glassy, and he dared to bear the force.
It is not so easy for those guards who see Curry to be thin and rely on his height to bully Curry.
Of course, Curry has not yet reached the appearance of Curry in the peak of his previous life. After all, he is young now and flexibility is more important.
And with Zhou Yang attracting firepower in the Warriors, Curry will not face so much defensive pressure.
Jackson grabbed the rebound and moved forward. Seeing Zhou Yang and Curry start at the same time, a long pass spanned the half court and passed to Zhou Yang.
This time it was Mbah a Moute of the Bucks chasing Zhou Yang.
With Zhou Yang's fast break ability, it is not difficult to carry Mbah a Moute to score, but Zhou Yang saw that Curry had already settled outside the three-point line, so he passed the ball without hesitation!
Jennings also quickly chased and defended, but his route was to run towards Zhou Yang, wanting to double-team Zhou Yang.
With Zhou Yang's pass, it was too late for him to defend Curry.
Curry took a three-pointer calmly, whoosh!
hit!
In less than 1 minute of the game, the Warriors scored 5 points in a row by the Splash Brothers!
The Bucks are a bit underwhelmed.
If it was the first match between the two teams and they lost to Jennings, then the whole team would not be able to keep up with the Splash Brothers at the beginning of the game.
Especially the inside line of the Bucks is at the forefront in the East.
Bogut and Ilyasova are not afraid of the inside line of any league team.
However, in front of the Warriors' three-pointer, the Bucks' inside line is like a wooden stake, completely a display.
And Jennings and Delfino, who looked very good outside firepower, were completely suppressed by the Splash Brothers.
Even Jennings agreed that Curry, who was weak in defense, couldn't beat him anymore.
In the next few rounds, the Bucks were completely beaten.
第一节战至5分13秒，两队比分16:6，勇士竟然领先了10分！
