I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 842: Change and higher expectations!

This year's Warriors' record in the regular season is no longer so defiant, so in this year's All-Star voting, the Warriors have not so many players selected for the All-Star.

In addition to only Chen Xiao in the starting lineup, there are only thick eyebrows on the All-Star bench. Luo Ge, Wade, Klai and Devin Booker have not been able to be selected for the All-Star game.

Only two players were selected for the All-Star Game, which is the worst All-Star voting result since Chen Xiao came to the Warriors.

However, this is actually normal. It is not normal for a team to always have five or even six players selected for the All-Star Game. When your record is no longer outstanding, you can only accept this result.

Compared with other dynastic teams, the Warriors are actually quite good. Even after winning the fourth consecutive championship, they are still motivated, and they have not yet reached the time when internal conflicts abound.

In fact, there is no contradiction within the Warriors now, and the players have not lost their fighting spirit or pursuit, or simply because of various reasons, the players' state is not so good.

Of course, this is an internal matter of the Warriors. None of the Warriors players will tell these things to people outside, and even if they do, most people will not believe them.

For these journalists and experts who like to make trouble, of course, they will report such news from other more traffic-oriented perspectives.

For example, after the All-Star 24-man roster came out, reporters and the media kept reporting the internal conflicts of the Warriors.

For example, players such as Klai and Devin Booker have all planned to leave because they cannot have a higher development space in the Warriors.

These news are mixed, mostly false.

For example, it really is that Devin Booker, the world knows he's going to have a hard time playing the Warriors next season.

This is true, the rest are almost all false.

But they can't stand it. The logic of these people's statements is very clear and very convincing.

The Warriors really only got two All-Star spots this year.

At the same time, the Warriors really have a slim chance of winning a championship this season, and it will be slim in the future.

Chen Xiao and Wedron Howard can wait to retire when they are successful, but the young players of the Warriors, they are still very young, they still have a lot of time, and they can have more and higher pursuits.

There is really no need for them to follow Chen Xiao and the other old men in the Warriors' waiting years to disappear.

Just like Rose, Rose can actually wait for the years to pass in the Bobcats, after all, he is a player who has completed a dynasty.

Even if Ross retired directly from the Bobcats, he would definitely be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and he would definitely be able to retire his jersey and become a legendary player in the entire NBA.

But did he do it?

Instead of doing so, he chose to leave the Bobcats he made famous.

The Bobcats are already waiting to make money selling tickets, but Ross is not short of money and doesn't want to be a mascot for making money selling tickets.

Similarly, how many young people are willing to send Chen Xiao and the three "old men" to die when they are young and at their peak?

No matter how good Chen Xiao Wade and Ron Howard are, and how they support young people, people are still selfish.

What's more, after Ross left the Bobcats, he had a good life. In the Heat, Ross took the Heat to beat the Bobcats and other strong teams in the East this season, and ranked in the top three in the East. Rose is even second only to the MVP rankings. Curry, Chen Xiao, James, ranked fourth.

And Jimmy Butler, who left the Bobcats in a contradictory way before Rose, had a very good time with the Spurs as well.

Under the circumstances, the Warriors' infighting looks so real.

For such rumors, no one from the Warriors team came out to refute the rumors.

As a four-peat team, the Warriors are the one to lose, and when you can't stop people from saying anything, don't say anything.

Otherwise, no matter what you say, others will find new reasons to create a bigger topic, and the only one who will be hurt in the end is yourself.

At this point, the team just needs to be silent and say whatever they want.

Whatever they want to think, that's how they want to think.

Back in the regular season of the NBA, because of the injury of the thick eyebrows, the Warriors' already somewhat stretched team is strong, that is, the fighting strength is actually a loss.

Don't look at the month when Nongmei was injured, the Warriors recorded a record of 12 wins and 1 loss, the best record in a single month this season.

Such victories come at a price.

Chen Xiao and Kelai, Luo Ge, Wade, Devin Booker, have all assumed more responsibility for the team.

In particular, the reason for the thick eyebrows is the inside line. After the thick eyebrows were injured, the Warriors played Robinson. Although Robinson got a lot of training opportunities, his offense really couldn’t make any progress, so when Robinson started, the Warriors other The offensive pressure on the four starters increased sharply.

The world knows that Robinson can only defend and not attack.

Under such circumstances, Chen Xiao and Kelai were even more tired.

Especially when Roger and Wade started, Chen Xiao and Kelai were more tired. After all, Roger and Wade can't be made to take more responsibility, right?

Therefore, in the past month, Kelai's average number of shots exceeded 20 per game.

This number of shots is actually very high, you must know that Kelai also has to defend the opponent's sharp knife on the defensive end.

Now the Warriors' perimeter players have been replaced by Roger and Wade to Kelai.

This is also no way. Although Wade and Roger's defensive skills are still strong, it is indeed difficult for their bodies to keep up with many faster and faster defenders in the league.

Let's just put it this way, basketball in this era is indeed much faster than it was ten or twenty years ago.

The reason for being fast is that the guards of this era are stronger on average than the guards of any previous era.

Yes, it is talking about average strength, not the strongest strength.

In this era, almost every team will have one or two defenders who are very outgoing in offense.

This is very incredible.

Maybe the absolute strength of these guards is not as good as Jordan, Maizi, Kobe, Carter, Ray Allen and Chen Xiao and others, and not as good as Wade, Roger and others later.

But the offense of these guys is really strong.

In the past, can you imagine that a rookie point guard like Trae Young can attack so crazy every game?

The coach basically has no restrictions on him. He can throw three-pointers as he wants.

And that's why this league is different now than it was in the past.

Because of the success of Chen Xiao, Ray Allen and Curry, the three of them are all unreasonable.

In this case, the unreasonable and unreasonable play in the past has been cleaned up.

In the past, mid-ring shots were never allowed by coaches, but now, every team has defenders who show mid-field shots in the game.

In this era, coaches are more tolerant of players' willful play, which is beneficial to defenders' performance on the offensive end.

Therefore, for the defender of the guard, the requirements are even higher.

In that league 20 years ago, when everyone was playing reasonable basketball, Wade and Roger's physical fitness declined, but their skills were still very popular. After all, whether everyone was young or old, talented or Those without talent basically play standing up, not running.

But in this era, no matter what kind of defender, no matter if he can score or not, he is running and playing, which is very exciting.

In this case, defense has become the team's defensive sword, and offense has become the strongest spear of the team's perimeter offense. In the past month, Kelai has simply been tired.

Let's just put it this way, after playing football by Chen Xiao's side for so many years, Kelai has never been as tired as this season.

In the past, Klai never felt that there was any problem with Happy in the summer.

Because the regular season is really easy, playing next to Chen Xiao is really easy, he doesn't need to exert more effort in the regular season, what's wrong with playing more in the summer, just lose weight in the regular season.

But this season, the regular season has been so exhausting, it has never been before.

And that's where the Warriors' biggest problem lies right now.

Yes, in the past, Chen Xiao was an omnipotent player, and he could play wherever the team lacked.

Now Chen Xiao still seems to be so dominant.

But in fact, Chen Xiao can no longer play various positions like before.

If it was ten years ago, Chen Xiao could have played outside to relieve Kelai's pressure.

But now, Chen Xiao is really helpless, and he can only watch Kelai attacking and desperately frantically despite his poor state.

Of course, the Warriors can also completely ignore the regular season record and ranking.

In fact, the Warriors may not care about the regular season record, but the regular season ranking still needs to care.

You may not be 70 wins, or even 60 wins, but you must not be the top three in the West!

Even, for the Warriors, if it is not the first in the West, the Warriors will be very tired in the playoffs.

And now, don't look at the Warriors' record as the first in the West, but it's actually not that stable.

So even if Kelai is very fierce, the Warriors have no other way.

No, it's not completely impossible.

In the Warriors' home game against the Lakers on February 2, the Warriors took the initiative to make changes to the team's starting lineup.

In this match between the Warriors and the Lakers, the team's starting lineup became center Robinson, power forward Chen Xiao, small forward Jaylen Brown, shooting guard Kelai, and point guard Devin Booker.

Devin Booker and Jaylen Brown appeared in the starting lineup again, but this time, the Warriors did not just train Devin Booker and Jaylen Brown like last season, but really let them replace Wade Started with Roger's position.

Yes, from the start of this game, there was consensus within the Warriors that Wade and Ron Howard would step down from their starting positions.

This is the suggestion that Wade and Luo Ge themselves put forward. As the two said, if they play off the bench, Chen Xiao and Kelai will have much less pressure in the regular season.

Jaylen Brown can help Kelai on defense, Devin Booker can also help Chen Xiao attack, and Jaylen Brown and Devin Booker can also bear the pressure on the team's offense.

At the same time, after Wade and Roger go to the bench, they can also stagger the stronger starting teammates. With the offensive stability and tacit understanding of the two, the contribution of the two in the bench rotation will definitely be more efficient.

I have to say, Wade and Ron Howard are really brilliant.

Although everyone knows that at this time, it is more beneficial for the Warriors to play Wade and Kelai on the bench.

But knowing is knowing, doing is hard to do.

You know, the two are the top ten players in history!

The top ten players in history take the initiative to become substitutes, and they will play in the playoffs in the future. They are also substitutes. Seriously, this is absolutely incredible.

It is very difficult for the average top 10 players in history, especially the top 10 players who have a great influence on the team, to make such a decision.

But for the Warriors, Wade and Ron Howard were unusually firm in making this decision.

And this also gave the thick eyebrows more time to recover.

Originally, the Warriors wanted Thick Eyebrow to return to the game as soon as the injury healed.

However, Wade and Roger said that they hope that the thick eyebrows can fully recover from the injury, and it is easy to repeat the injury.

It's just that many people don't know that Wade and Luo Ge may have saved the thick eyebrows, but they don't know that their high-flying decision also saved Kelai.

Historically, Klai has stopped this season because of Curry's injury, because of the scum of Dream Chasing Green's offense, and because the offense and defense of other veterans on the team declined, he and Durant took on more teams. Offensive and defensive tasks.

In the end, he and Durant both thought they were overworked, one fell before the finals, and the other fell in the finals.

In fact, Klai is not such an iron man.

I have to say, UU reading www.uukanshu. Coming to the starting lineup with Jaylen Brown and Devin Booker was particularly immediate for the Warriors' offense and defense.

Although they lost to the Lakers on February 2, they beat the Spurs 141 to 102 at home on February 6 by 39 points. In this game, Claire scored 11 of 13, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 26 points. Not much, but it's very efficient, and it's not tiring to play. It's just running and receiving the ball, and even Jaylen Brown can help him with the job of defending Jimmy Butler.

The familiar and efficient Kelai, the relaxed and unrestrained Kelai, is back.

Not only Kelai, Chen Xiao with 9 of 13 and 28 points, Devin Booker with 7 of 12 and 20 points, everyone's pressure has come down.

The point is, in this game, the Warriors' rotation, led by Wade and Ron Howard, scored 51 points!

Everyone, it's easier to play!

And this is definitely the situation the Warriors are most willing to accept.

The Warriors really aren't chasing records this season.

But I hope it can be easier to get the No. 1 ranking in the West.

And after such a change, the Warriors did it.

Therefore, after the successful evolution, Chen Xiao can clearly feel that his teammates' expectations for this season are even higher!

Yes, the current Warriors can have higher expectations!
