NBA: Slam dunk and become stronger

【206】After the preparation season, there is only one goal!

Unable to completely limit the Grizzlies, it became extremely difficult for the Warriors to catch up with the huge point gap.

In the final 3:02 of the game, with Su Mo scoring another dunk on the offensive end, the Grizzlies (99) :(86) Warriors had been chased to just 13 points.

The Grizzlies called a timeout.

The home fans were extremely nervous, trailing by 13 points in three minutes, and it was not impossible to catch up, but it was by no means easy.

Especially because Randolph and Gasol Jr. are quite brave tonight.

Even Warriors fans have to admit that the Grizzlies are a very tenacious team.

On the commentary stage, Mark Jackson and Joan Barry were also worried about the Warriors’ turnaround.

“Trailing by 13 points by 3 minutes is in a state of explosive form for the Grizzlies, it seems that this game wants to turn around, it is a little difficult!”

“Especially on the Warriors’ side except Su Mo, everyone else is in a very low state, Curry has played 1 of 7 from three-point range now, and Ellis and Jackson have not scored double-doubles, all supported by Su Mo alone, it is indeed too difficult!”

Back on the court, timeout back, Grizzlies offense.

Randolph continued to attack inside with the ball, but was directly snatched by Su Mo, who was infested by ghosts.

“Snap!”

Su Mo dribbled the ball quickly, but was chased and intercepted by three Grizzlies players, so he threw the ball directly to the fast Ellis.

Ellis catches the ball on the empty basket, and this ball can be said to be a send-off problem.

But……

The basketball thrown by Ellis swung twice on the basket and finally popped out.

No hits.

“Snap!”

Randolph, who returned to defense, grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Grizzlies continued to press time.

The home fans were complaining.

“Ellis, is this playing? Let me go up and motivate! ”

“Empty baskets are not motivated? I suspect Ellis is from the Grizzlies! ”

“Wasted a wonderful steal from Su Mo in vain.”

The Warriors laid out the defense again, and Su Mo stepped up again, directly chasing Randolph, taking the rebound to organize a counterattack.

Su Mo, who came to the front court with the ball, was once again caught in the mad dog style of the Grizzlies player, and could only give the ball to Curry on the other side.

Curry shot from outside the three-point line, and the basketball whizzed to the basket.

“Bang!”

Again it is not hit.

Curry shot 1 of 8 from three-point range.

The Grizzlies again had defensive rebounds.

At this moment, the game has entered the final 2 minutes, but the Lakers are still 13 points behind the Grizzlies.

The situation has become very unfavorable.

The in-form Randolph came to the front court, and just when Su Modu thought he was going to attack the inside strongly, Randolph actually shot a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

“Ugh!”

Randolph actually hit a three-pointer!

Su Mo and the Warriors players were dumbfounded, but on the Grizzlies’ side, they began to celebrate wildly.

With 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game, the Warriors trailed by 16 points.

Unwilling to give up, Su Mo continued to carry hard, and his state was super-high, making three consecutive three-pointers to help the Warriors narrow the gap to single digits.

But with Randolph making two free throws, the Grizzlies extended their advantage to double digits again.

On the other hand, there were only the last 35 seconds left.

The Warriors couldn’t get back.

The home fans sighed softly and could only watch as the Grizzlies celebrated their victory.

In the end, the Warriors regretfully swallowed the bitter fruit, losing back-to-back games at home to the Grizzlies, and the all-time winning streak was finally fixed at 34 wins.

Although Su Mo cut 51 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in the game, his teammates were too pitted, and none of them scored double-doubles.

The Warriors’ 34 wins came to an abrupt end, and after a lot of complaints from fans, it also relieved the pressure.

Even with the loss to the Grizzlies, this is only the Warriors’ second loss this season, and the record is still 50-2, the first in the league.

Judging by the Warriors’ current super high win rate, they still have a good chance of breaking the record of 7 regular season wins set by the Bulls that year.

The day after the loss, in the Warriors training gym, Su Mo and the players were in the conference room, and head coach Donaldson analyzed the next schedule.

“With the last 3 games left, everyone can finally relax!”

“In the past, in order to pursue a record-breaking winning streak, the players were very hard, and I as a coach also looked at it, but now that the winning streak has ended, you can also take off this pressure and start focusing on the playoffs!”

When Don Nelson said this, he paused, glanced at Su Mo who was sitting next to him, and then continued: “The goal of our team this year has changed drastically because of Su Mo’s arrival, and now we have only one ultimate goal this season, that is, to win the championship!” ”

As soon as the coach’s words came out, the players applauded, everyone was full of excitement about impacting the championship, and they were also full of confidence because of Su Mo, a super teammate.

“Now that the teams in the league have been abused by us, it shows that we have enough ability to get out of the West and then make it to the Finals.”

“Of course, to win the championship, it is a long process, we still have to go through 30 regular season games before we can enter the fierce playoff competition, for the current situation of the team, many people have minor injuries, so next, I will adopt a proper rotation strategy, I hope everyone can actively cooperate and bring out the best before the playoffs come!”

“Ensuring health and preparing for the playoffs is the most important point, of course, the rest of the regular season, we must also try to play and strive for the best regular season record!”

After coach Don Nelson’s words, Su Mo and many Warriors teammates applauded, and even couldn’t wait to see the playoffs.

Heading into late February, the Warriors’ next few opponents were relatively weak: the Nets, 76ers, Pacers and Hornets.

The first three are all weak teams in the East, and the Warriors are appropriately adjusted, but as long as Su Mo appears, it is naturally easy to win.

At the end of February, the last opponent of the Hornets, because “Queen Bee” Paul was injured and missed, the Hornets’ strength was greatly reduced, and the Warriors naturally had another bloodless victory.

Silently, the Warriors easily won four more after losing to the Grizzlies.

Time entered March, and the best players in the East and West in February were also released.
