I’m Really Playing Basketball

Although the performance of the Warriors this season is not as strong as the previous seasons, there are not many people who criticize the performance of the Warriors at this time.

In fact, most expert fans have a positive attitude towards the performance of the first third of the Warriors.

After all, everyone expected the difficulties of the Warriors this season.

Why didn't the Warriors start the season so strong?

Of course, it's because the Warriors' own team is facing the problem of aging. The three team leaders, Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard are all over 36 years old. Chen Xiao and Luo Ge just passed their 36 years old in November. birthday, plus Wade, who is 37 soon.

When everyone doesn't know that Chen Xiao has a system to lock in endurance, how much confidence can you have when the leader of your team is this age?

On the other side, in addition to its own reasons, the strength of the West is indeed much stronger than before.

Let’s just say the Lakers, the Big Three have been working together for a season and failed for a season. This season, the Big Three of the Lakers have become more tacit, and the system is slowly taking shape.

The Jazz are still strong, and the Clippers and Spurs are still very competitive.

Seriously, these four teams in the West have narrowed the gap with the Warriors this season.

So the Warriors have lost their first five games this season, two of which were teams in the other semifinals in the Western Conference.

You know, in the past, the Western team may not even beat the Warriors.

And this season, four teams in the West have the potential to beat the Warriors.

Under such circumstances, the Warriors can still maintain the No. 1 record in the Western Conference and rank No. 1 in the league, which is really, very, very rare.

In addition to praise for such an achievement, do you really want to criticize it?

The teams led by 3 veterans over 36 years old can still show such dominance. In addition to being shocked, it is amazing.

If the historical LeBron James can achieve such results in the Lakers, I am afraid that the media has been touting it wildly. What executive vice Goat, this is obviously the real Goat!

Back to the Warriors side.

Because the state of Nongmei and Kelai was not so good at the beginning of the season, coupled with Devin Booker's deep downturn at the end of the World Cup, and the further decline in the state of Wade and Rogo, this directly led to the beginning of the season. For one-third of the schedule, the combat effectiveness of the Warriors' five main teams has declined.

Although the media and fans are not harsh, but as the head coach of the Warriors, Kerr, if he has no idea at all, it must be unrealistic.

This season, Kerr encouraged Chen Xiao to take more of the team's ball and shot rights. As a result, Chen Xiao has averaged more than 30 points per game this season, which is extremely rare in these seasons. This is also true for the Warriors. The reason why it can still maintain the number one position in the West despite the downturn of so many people.

Chen Xiao is indeed strong.

So much so that after one-third of the game this year, the league's regular season MVP rankings are still firmly held by Curry and Chen Xiao.

However, although Cole is a little angry, he also knows that such difficulties are temporary.

After two consecutive losses to the Cavaliers and Bucks in this consecutive road trip to the East, the Warriors returned to home on December 10th with a 126-106 victory over the Timberwolves who came to challenge.

In this game, the Warriors played an extremely terrifying offensive state. Throughout the game, the Warriors hit 29 three-pointers, setting an NBA record.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 10 of 14 three-pointers, Kelai made 7 of 10 three-pointers, Devin Booker made 6 of 10 three-pointers, and Curry, who came off the bench, made 4 of 7 three-pointers. This game is really a little bit crazy about taking 3-pointers.

Obviously, the two-game losing streak in the Eastern Conference away game still stimulated the Warriors. After all, they are the defending champions. Although the Cavaliers and Bucks are very strong, this schedule is also very devilish, but such a losing streak is not good for the defending champion. Still shouldn't.

After all, after this losing streak, the Warriors were double-killed by the Bucks in the regular season.

And in this big win over the Timberwolves, Kerr saw whether the Warriors were going to bottom out. Soon Kerr's hope was dashed.

On December 12, the Warriors' home game against Menglong, Milicic can be said to have blown up the Warriors' starting center Mitchell Robinson.

I have to say that Milicic's offense is really powerful. Such a super traditional center, playing against a team like the Warriors, is really unstoppable when he plays a lot of times. Except for Mitchell Robinson, the Warriors No one can top Milicic.

Milicic attacked more than Oden.

After Robinson collapsed into a foul crisis, the Warriors' interior defense collapsed directly.

Then Menglong was led by Milicic, a combination of Nowitzki and Garnett Duncan, and all 11 Menglong players who played in this game scored.

Among them, the starting five scored in double figures, and the Menglong team finally defeated the Warriors 123-113 on the road.

In this game, the Warriors performed well in the last game, and this game seems to be a bit of a return to the old style.

For example, Kelai made 7 of 17 shots and 0 of 5 three-pointers in this game. This is actually very rare.

Klai may have a low percentage of shots in a game, but it is extremely rare for a game like this to not make a three-pointer.

Generally speaking, Klai rarely encounters several such games in a season.

But in this game, Kelai still met.

It can only be said that this season, Kelai's first-third of the schedule, and this performance, the data fully reflects his discomfort, the three-point shooting rate is not even 35%, this really surprised many people.

In addition, Devin Booker made 3 of 12 shots and 2 of 8 three-pointers in this game, and his performance was not as good as Kelai.

Plus Mitchell Robinson, who made 1 of 5 fouls with six fouls.

As far as this game is concerned, Chen Xiao and Nongmei were 13 of 22 and 9 of 15 respectively, which could not lead the entire team.

Fortunately, after losing to Menglong, the Warriors narrowly won 130-126 in their next game against the Kings led by Yinbaka.

In this game, Chen Xiao scored 14 of 23 and scored 38 points, while Rogo and Wade scored 11 of 22 with 33 points.

In addition to the three, Kelai scored 10 of 27 and 4 of 12 three-pointers, scoring the second-highest 27 points on the team.

The data and performance of Kelai's game are particularly interesting, just like Xiangwei ice cream.

You have to say that Kelai played like **** in this game. There is no problem with that. The Warriors and the Kings played so anxiously, which has a lot to do with Kelai.

In the first three quarters of the game, he went 4-for-20 insanely, knocking the basket out of the way.

Without Kelai, the best sixth man, it would have been impossible for the Kings to not only be anxious but also lead the Warriors in the first three quarters.

But you have to say that Kelai is very good, and there is no problem, because in the fourth quarter, Kelai scored 6 of 7 in a single quarter, scored 20 points in a single quarter crazily, and destroyed the Kings in one fell swoop.

And the Kelai of this game is actually the true portrayal of Kelai this season.

Most of the time, it is super ghost, but sometimes it can be super god, and it feels unpredictable.

His fat and bloated body gave Kelai an unpredictable power.

In short, such a ghost is unpredictable, and the ups and downs are really very big.

However, there were not many people on the Warriors who blamed Claire or the ups and downs of Devin Booker for this game.

In fact, everyone can understand.

After all, you can't ask a guy with money and leisure like Crane to live an ascetic life in the off-season.

What's more, after K came to the start of the season, he was actually trying to get back his form.

This can be seen from his very high number of shots per game.

Kelai's average shot per game this season is the highest in his career, and his average shot per game is only one less than that of Chen Xiao.

There are many shots and the hit rate is not high, which is why Kelai is trying to regain his feel and state.

But obviously, if the weight doesn't come down, his efforts will probably hurt the Warriors more.

It's not high, but Kelai's contributions to the Warriors over the years can also allow the Warriors to withstand these injuries.

And everyone knows that Kelai, the Buddha who saved the Warriors in G6, don't look undercover now, but sooner or later he will be able to come back.

It was in such ups and downs that the Warriors ended December with a 4-1 record in the following game, the only loss to the Jazz.

Well, this game was 3-for-12, 0-for-4 on three-pointers, and didn't make a three-pointer.

In this game, Chen Xiao scored 12 of 21 points, scoring a team and game-high 32 points, while Rogo and Wade scored 30 points again, but the team ultimately lost 113 to 119.

So far, the entire 2018 NBA game is over, and the Warriors' record has come to 31 wins and 7 losses. This record still ranks first in the Western Conference.

Of course, it seems to be getting farther and farther away from the current record of the first Bucks in the league.

Of course, this season, the Warriors have no intention of competing for the No. 1 spot in the league with the Bucks.

Let's just say, the two teams have completely different desires for the regular season.

The Warriors are a team that has won four consecutive championships. It seems that they are all tired of the regular season. The team led by this group of veterans is waiting for the playoffs to start.

Let’s just put it this way, most of the league’s dynasty teams will lose interest in the regular season after completing the dynasty, and they can’t wait for the NBA to start the playoffs directly.

The Warriors are naturally not exempt, not to mention that the Warriors are still a super dynasty with four consecutive championships.

It is actually very good to be able to have such a slack in thinking until the fourth consecutive championship.

However, it is precisely because of this reason that this season, Chen Xiao's scoring average has remained above 30 points per game.

This season, Chen Xiao didn't score frantically. Although Kelai played badly, it can be seen from Kelai's shot numbers that Chen Xiao still supports him using the game to get back to his state.

Although Chen Xiao has been in the regular season record of the 'Kerry' Warriors this season, Chen Xiao actually did not work hard in the regular season.

Although he has a system, he is indeed a 36-year-old player. Although his endurance can still support him to play 48 minutes of the game, the continuous decline of athletic ability such as speed and explosiveness is irreversible.

With the decline in athletic ability, Chen Xiao wants to complete the same KIP on both ends of the game, and the consumption will also increase.

Therefore, even if there is a system, Chen Xiao will inevitably stay in the regular season.

And it's not just his own reasons that he didn't do his best in the regular season. At the same time, some of the meanings of his clocking in this season are also related to the teammates of the team.

As the **** of the Warriors, if he fights, he will fight for the record with the Bucks.

The other players of the Warriors, you said, can they not fight?

In the situation of thick eyebrows and Kelai, if they really fight for Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao will not only be unhappy, but also worried.

I worry that nine out of ten they will encounter an injury crisis.

In fact, this season, Kelai frantically used his shots to change his state and feel, and Chen Xiao was very worried.

If possible, he would like to give thick eyebrows and Kelai a month and a half off when they failed to lose weight like last season.

But this season, the Warriors have no such capital to give Nongmei and Kelai a holiday.

Roger and Wade would never fight back to back.

If Klai and Nongmei don't fight again, plus Devin Booker is affected by the World Cup, the Lakers, Jazz and other teams will rise.

So the Warriors may not even be able to hold the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference this season.

Not being able to hold the first place in the West and not rushing out of the home field advantage in the West will still have an impact on the Warriors.

Therefore, even if he knew that the thick eyebrows and Klai were not in good shape at the beginning of the season, Kerr had to grit his teeth and let them find their form in the game.

However, looking at the number of shots Kelai has, his state is so poor, he has made so many shots, and he has played so fiercely. Can this cost not be large?

Chen Xiao and Kelai were really worried that Chen Xiao or Nongmei would be injured.

In fact, in the first game between the Warriors and Houston in January, in this overtime game, although the Warriors defeated Houston 140-135 at home, the thick eyebrows pulled out of the game with a hamstring strain.

The injury of the thick eyebrows also made the victory of this game a lot less meaningful.

Of course, the injury of thick eyebrows is not a big one, it is a typical physical injury.

And although the thick eyebrows are injured, the Warriors' record in January is still good. The Warriors lost 1 game in 13 games in January. On January 31, they lost 114-123 to 76 at home. people.

In this game, Embiid played crazy, got 20 rebounds, and also made 20 free throws. In the fourth quarter, he led the 76ers and lost to the Warriors. He beat the Warriors 42 to 42 in a single quarter. 26.

In the whole game, the Warriors team committed 31 fouls, and almost all of the inside players, including Chen Xiao, were fouled 5 times.

However, despite the controversial loss to the 76ers, the Warriors went 12-1 in January without the thick eyebrows, and the dominance is back. It seems that the lack of thick eyebrows is a good thing for the Warriors.

So many experts, including Barkley, said: "It can be seen how much the game in front of the thick eyebrows is a drag on the Warriors!"

It can only be said that winning is not embarrassing, and whoever is missing is embarrassing.

Nongmei could not have imagined that he could be held in a meeting by Barkley like this.

After the January game, the league also announced the All-Star starters for the East and West.

Eastern frontcourt, Gaobo, Durant, James, backcourt, Rose, Curry.

Western frontcourt, Chen Xiao, UAE, Jokic, backcourt, Paul George, Chris Paul

All-Star starter, the Warriors actually only have one person selected...
