warrior godfather

In the game against the Warriors, Paul's performance was actually very good. He played 38 minutes, made 18 of 10 shots, 8 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 4 free throws, scored 27 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. The best player on the Clippers.

But he didn't score enough to help the Clippers win games, especially with Curry as a comparison.

库里的出场时间比保罗更少，却在36分钟的时间里25投14中，三分14中8，罚球5中5，狂砍41分6助攻5篮板2抢断，其中有28分是在下半场得到的，完全盖过了保罗的锋铓。

In addition to the two big stars, the performance of the Warriors players is also better.

巴特勒全场16投8中，三分4中2，罚球6中4，砍下22分7篮板4助攻1抢断2封盖的全面数据。

After his opening mistake, he fully implemented Zhang Yu's request, actively contracted the basket, and cooperated with Chandler and Green to effectively limit the Clippers' inside offense.

22 points is also Butler's highest score this season. Although Zhang Yu gave him more shots, the Warriors' opponents in the first five games were relatively weak. The three quarters were resolved, and there was no room for Butler.

In this game, facing Caron Butler, whose athletic ability has declined a lot, he kept hitting the basket and achieved good results.

Including free throws, Butler scored a total of 14 points in the penalty area. He has repeatedly hit throws and layups in the face of Jordan's defense, showing his excellent ability to finish close to the frame.

克莱全场15投7中，三分10中4，没有罚球，得到18分4篮板2助攻1抢断。

His performance in the first half was relatively average. In the second half, under Crawford's defense, he found several open opportunities and hit a few three-pointers, but he couldn't fill the gap in the first half, and his overall efficiency was not high.

Green’s performance tonight was not as good as in the previous games. His card dealing effect in the first half was not good, and he lost the ball in the second half. He only made 8 of 3 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 1 free throws. , 9 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, still very comprehensive, but the efficiency is a bit low.

This is Green's biggest weakness. As an inside player, his finishing ability in the penalty area is very average, and he often wastes good opportunities.

This also made him develop the habit of yelling "wrist safe" every time he lays up, regardless of whether he makes it or not, hoping to get a chance to get a free throw.

If it wasn't for the three-point shooting practiced hard in the summer, Green's offense would be even more unbearable. Long-range shooting is not his strength, but the scoring method he relies on most on the offensive end. If there is no three-pointer, his offense will be very ugly.

Chandler played an important role in the game tonight. He made 11 of 7 shots, 6 of 3 free throws, no three-pointers, scored 17 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks. Good rebounding.

More importantly, he defended the Warriors' penalty area, effectively contained Griffin and Jordan's impact on the Warriors' inside line, and effectively protected the Warriors' backcourt rebounds, without giving the Clippers too many second-attack opportunities.

Although Griffin and Jordan scored in double figures, scoring 18 and 12 points respectively, their efficiency was much lower than in the previous games, which was within the acceptable range of the Warriors.

克劳福德的表现也比之前下滑了很多，他全场16投7中，三分6中2，罚球4中3，得到17分3助攻2篮板。

In the first half, he was tightly restricted by Tony Allen and Leonard. He only scored some points in the third quarter through singles Curry, and then he was marked by Clay, and the score went down again.

The performance of the rest of the Clippers was lackluster, and no one scored in double figures.

In contrast, the Warriors' rotation players performed a lot better.

Jeremy Lin's playing time is much shorter than Crawford's, and his status in the team is not as good as Crawford's. He only played 22 minutes, but his efficiency is not low.

他全场11投6中，三分3中1，罚球5中4，砍下17分4助攻2篮板，与克劳福德相比也是不遑多让。

Jeremy Lin was also the only Warriors bench player to score in double figures. Leonard devoted his energy to the defensive end, making only 7 of 2 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 5 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

His efficiency is not high, mainly because he launched 3 consecutive mid-range singles in the final stage of the fourth quarter, but he failed to succeed, which lowered his shooting rate.

After the game, Leonard was still a little apprehensive, but Zhang Yu did not criticize him, but encouraged him:
"From now on, we will play like this. As long as the point difference is big enough, you can shoot mid-range shots at will. If there is garbage time, I will let you play. You play boldly!"

Leonard breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Yu had said so before, this game was against the second-ranked opponent in the Western Conference after all. At the last moment, it was because of Leonard's continuous strikes that the Clippers recovered a lot. Points difference.

When playing against the Kings before, the Warriors were also chased for points because of Leonard's singles, but that was against a weak team, which was different from playing against a strong team like the Clippers.

Since Zhang Yu's attitude has not changed, Leonard has confidence in his heart.

He solemnly said:

"Boss, I will step up my training."

Zhang Yu smiled and said:

"Don't practice too much, be careful not to let go of the three-point and defensive training, or follow the training plan."

He knows how crazy Leonard is in training, and he is as good as Butler. Don't overload your body because you are eager to prove yourself, and increase the risk of injury.

Leonard nodded heavily and said:

"Don't worry, boss, I will carefully polish my skills and improve in a down-to-earth manner!"

……

In the post-match interview, there was harmony between the two teams.

After the Warriors won the championship, De Nagro’s jealousy towards Zhang Yu has dissipated. He said that the Clippers’ loss was because they hadn’t been in place yet, and also because the Warriors were too strong. They will continue to improve themselves and stabilize the second place in the Western Conference. .

Paul's answer was quite sharp. He bluntly said that the team still has a lot to improve, and it is still far from a real strong team. It must not stop because of the few consecutive victories at the beginning of the season. They sounded the alarm. If the Clippers want to achieve the goal of competing for the championship, they must continue to improve, and it is not enough now.

The Clippers have said so, and the Warriors will naturally not taunt. The answers of Zhang Yu, Curry, and Butler who were interviewed were all quite satisfactory.

It is worth mentioning that a reporter asked Curry who is the number one point guard in the league, he or Paul. Curry was at a loss for words and thought for a while before answering:
"I didn't think about it. Chris is a very good point guard. I respect him a lot..."

He said a lot of unnutritious talk before ending the interview.

But the reporter will not let go of the opportunity to hype the news. Immediately after the game, there are media reports:

"Curry avoided the reporter's question and praised Paul, as if he admitted that he was inferior to the other party!"

At the same time, several well-known commentators also avoided discussing the results of the game, but instead pointed their finger at the battle between Curry and Paul for the first point guard:
"In the game between the Warriors and the Clippers, Curry dominated off-ball offense in the first half. In the previous Warriors games, his proportion of holding the ball was also greatly reduced. The second shooting guard on the field..."

"There is no doubt that Paul's passing is much better than Curry. Although Curry won the championship, his current style of play is not a point guard at all. He is indeed very strong, but Paul is the number one point guard in the league. guard……"

"Warriors have a significantly stronger lineup than the Clippers. Jimmy Butler and Tyson Chandler are All-NBA, and their depth is better. Jeremy Lin and Kawhi Leonard They're all rising stars, and the Clippers have an old Jamal Crawford..."

These remarks immediately aroused fierce debate on the Internet, but they were not the first to provoke the Clippers fans. As the losing party, they did not have that mood.

Some people who don't know where started to mock Curry:
"Who has ever seen a point guard running without the ball every day? I haven't seen it anyway."

"Is there anyone watching Curry play? Just know that floating outside to shoot three-pointers, what's the point?"

"Support the league's No. 5 point guard Paul! Curry averaged less than [-] assists per game, how dare you call him a point guard?"

"You don't understand, Curry has two All-Star teammates by his side, as well as super shooter Klay, all-round insider Green, super sixth man Jeremy Lin, defensive gate Leonard, Tony Allen, why is he not the first point guard? Guard? Oh, yes, their wages are still very low. With such a lineup, Curry is not the number one point guard. If it is replaced by Paul, tsk tsk..."

After the win, the Warriors fans were enjoying the joy of victory. Seeing these remarks, their lungs were about to explode, and they immediately retorted:

"Curry can win even without the ball, hold back!"

""Only know how to shoot three-pointers", so many three-pointers, how come only Curry won the MVP?"

"Curry is too boring to play, don't watch it, David Stern has to come to your house tomorrow to beg you to watch the game!"

"It turns out that more assists are good point guards. Is the number one point guard in history Magician or Stockton?"

"After the Warriors won the championship, the per capita giants? Butler, Chandler, and Clay are so strong. Why didn't other teams choose them? I suggest you immediately reform the NBA's draft system. In the future, the Warriors are not allowed to train rookies!"

But there are also a small number of Warriors fans who have some doubts about Zhang Yu's tactics this season:

"Coach Z won't just let Curry play off the ball all the time, right? I still want to see Curry take the ball and kill all directions..."

"Me too...Although the Warriors have been winning, but watching other people hold the ball and Curry runs there, I feel very annoying..."

However, such fans are only a minority, and most Warriors fans still focus on victory:
"I think Curry is good at running without the ball, and he has scored more points than before. If this continues, Curry should still be the scoring champion, and the MVP is also very likely."

"If I can win, even if Curry keeps running without the ball, I'm happy. I'm just a little worried. Will Curry be able to play like this until the playoffs? Don't coach Z make Curry addicted to running without the ball..."

"No, coach Z will let Curry play with the ball in the second half today? There is absolutely no need to worry about Coach Z's on-the-spot adaptability!"

"Yes, in fact, there is no need to think so much at all. Coach Z's tactics can be wrong? Look at the Lakers next door. Mike Brown also let Kobe run without the ball. What happened? Trust Coach Z and it's over!"

Some Paul fans also said:

"Who the hell has the rhythm? Curry has won two first teams, two scoring champions, an MVP, and a championship in three years. He has already surpassed Paul. Paul has no MVP and a championship. How can he be with Curry? Fight for the number one point guard?"

"Anyway, my wish now is to watch Paul reach the Western Conference Finals once, and I will be satisfied. As for the championship, that thing is too difficult, and the Warriors, Thunder, Spurs, and Lakers stand in the way, so I can only follow the fate..."

This sentence hit the sore spot of the Lakers fans again:

"No, no, no, the Lakers don't deserve it. The Lakers' goal now is to enter the playoffs. The Clippers are much better than the Lakers..."

Then, the topic turned to Lakers fans' denunciation of Mike Brown:
"Mike Brown, get the hell out! You have to play Princeton, it's 1 win and 6 losses! Kupchak is also incompetent, why don't you let Mike Brown get out of class and save it for the New Year!?"

The life of the Lakers is very difficult now. They only won one game with the Pistons, and the rest of the games all ended in failure. They rank second to last in the Western Conference, just higher than the Suns.

The Lakers fans who were still expecting before the start of the season have completely lost their patience. They criticized the head coach Mike Brown, and even the general manager Kupchak who did not let him get out of get out of class was also scolded.

What the Lakers fans don't know is that Mike Brown should have been dismissed after the fifth game, but Kupchak listened to Zhang Yu's words and decided to give Mike Brown some more time before he could continue coaching the Lakers.

As for how long he can persist, it depends on how much Kupchak's patience remains, or when the Lakers' stars break out.

With the Lakers attracting attention and the Warriors winning six consecutive victories, the criticism of Curry just started, but was suppressed by the praise of Curry.

In the face of a team that keeps winning, any slander is useless.

It was also after this game that the league announced the MVP rankings for the first week of the 2012-2013 season.

With an average of 31.7 points, 5.5 assists, 5 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game, Curry led the Warriors to a record of 6 wins and 0 losses. He ranked first without any suspense. His 31.7 points are also the current highest score in the league. Anthony averaged 30.8 points per game, topping the scoring charts.

詹姆斯排在MVP榜第二，他场均可以砍下25.9分8.6篮板8.4助攻1.8抢断1.1封盖，率领热火取得5胜1负的战绩，排在东部第一。

With such a versatile performance of James, in the past few seasons, he must have been ranked No. 1 in the MVP list, but with Curry's almost flawless performance, he can only be ranked second.

罗斯以24.6分7.4助攻4.5篮板1.4抢断，率领公牛取得5胜1负战绩的表现派在MVP榜第三位。

His playing time in the regular season is still limited, and he can only play a maximum of 34 minutes per game, which also makes his data drop a bit, but the Bulls' strong overall strength lies there. Luol Deng and Noah have achieved Great progress, Boozer has come to the peak period, all Rose needs to do is to make a final decision at a critical moment, and the Bulls are enough to rank second in the Eastern Conference.

In Zhang Yu's previous life, after Rose was injured, Butler hadn't grown up yet. The Bulls were united and tough on defense. On the offensive end, they relied on the overall performance of Luol Deng, Boozer, Noah, and Nate Robinson. Finally, they ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. into the playoffs.

Now, Rose has not only maintained his health, but has also been improving. His three-point shooting percentage this season has increased to 35.8%, which is the highest level since he entered the league. Under the circumstances, his open three-point shooting rate is higher.

Rose's technology is also further improved, his breakthrough is more skillful, the emergency stop jump shot is more accurate, and the offensive threat continues to increase, which is stronger than the season when he won the MVP.

There is such an MVP-level superstar in the team, and the strength of the Bulls is much stronger than that of Zhang Yu in his previous life. Their Eastern Conference battle with the Heat will continue.

Only in the past two years, the Bulls once took advantage of the poor run-in of the Heat, and Spoelstra had not pushed Bosh to the fifth position, and found a tactic to knead the Big Three together; Sickness, the Heat are short of major generals, and they only played the tiebreaker with the Heat twice.

But this season, the Heat have further strengthened the lineup, Bosh has fully recovered, the Big Three's desire for the championship has reached its peak, and the Bulls want to rush out of the East and return to the stage that was once dominated by their predecessors. great.

……

Curry scored three 30+ games and one 40+ game in six games. His amazing performance ranked No.1 in the MVP list shocked the entire league. O'Neal praised him wildly:

"Gentlemen and ladies, take note, Steph Curry is on his way to his second MVP! Words can't describe how good he's been, and there's only one thing I'm a little bit dissatisfied with, and that's Coach Z made him play too many off the ball, I hope he can hear me, give the ball back to Curry, I want to see him make more three-pointers!"

Reggie Miller said:

"I used to think that my offense without the ball was better than Curry, but now I have changed my mind. Curry's three-pointers with the ball are the best in the league, and the three-pointers without the ball are far more than others! Sand Ke didn't understand the charm of running without the ball at all. Coach Z did the right thing. Curry has such a good talent without the ball. It must not be wasted. He used to run too little off the ball. Wonderful ball movement!"

Mark Jackson, who is still serving as a commentator, said:
"Stephen Curry's performance is phenomenal. These few games have proved that his MVP-level performance last season was not a flash in the pan, and he can even go one step closer! However, this should not be Curry's Limit, the way Coach Z uses him is too conservative, more conservative than last season, he should let Curry hold the ball more, and use high pick-and-roll as the team's main offensive method, which will maximize Curry's strength ..."

Not only celebrities, but also the head coaches of other teams are frequently asked questions related to Curry. The Warriors’ opponent in the next game, Nuggets head coach George Karl said:
"Stephen Curry? His performance is great. I watched the Warriors game. He is our number one target. In tomorrow's game, we will entertain him well!"

……

The next day, November 11, the Warriors returned home to challenge the Nuggets back-to-back.

The Nuggets' schedule after the start of this season is very bad. They need to play a three-game streak, challenging the 76ers, Magic, and Heat in a row, and the last two games are still back-to-back.

Under such an unfavorable schedule, the Nuggets are playing better and better.

他们先是以75:84输给了76人，伊戈达拉在老东家面前仅仅13投4中，得到11分4篮板4助攻2抢断1封盖4失误，防守兢兢业业，进攻端却完全没有融入球队。

In the second game against the Magic, Iguodala's offensive performance was still terrible. He played 36 minutes, but only made 10 of 3 shots and scored only 9 points. The Nuggets also lost 89:94 to the Magic by 5 points.

However, he performed well in other aspects. He got 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and his turnovers dropped to 3. He got better and better with the team.

In the third game against the strongest Heat, Iguodala completely broke out.

他出战40分钟，全场18投10中，三分7中4，罚球5中5，狂砍29分7篮板8助攻3抢断2封盖，攻防一体，火力全开。

But even if Iguodala played such a wonderful performance, the Nuggets still lost to the Heat 116:119, because Bosh also broke out.

Facing the Nuggets inside line composed of Kenneth Faried and Gallinari, he went in and got whatever he wanted. He made 22 of 15 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, 10 of 9 free throws, 40 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 Stealing, dreaming back to the top, leading the team to a thrilling victory.

However, this narrow defeat also allowed Iguodala to fully integrate into the team. This is also because the Nuggets' style of play is very simple and there are no complicated tactics.

The Nuggets ended their three-game winning streak. After returning to the home court, they won three consecutive victories, defeating the Pistons, Rockets, and Jazz successively.

这三场比赛中，伊戈达拉都有不错的发挥，分别砍下15分8篮板4助攻1封盖、16分5篮板3助攻3抢断1封盖、15分7篮板1助攻1抢断1封盖。

Although he is not the head star of the Nuggets, he provided the team with all-round defense, rebounding, support, and scoring, and quickly became an indispensable frontline core for the Nuggets on both offense and defense.

Including Iguodalada, the scoring distribution of the Nuggets players is relatively even. The remaining four starters Ty Lawson, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, and Kenneth Faried averaged points per game. All are between 11 and 17 points, and none of them exceeds 20.

This shows that the Nuggets are a team with excellent offense and few weaknesses, but it also shows that the Nuggets lack stars who can make the final decision.

In the game against the Warriors, this shortcoming of the Nuggets was completely exposed.
