I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 215 Winning streak all the way to the end of the year
On December 12, the Warriors visited Washington to challenge the Wizards.

After experiencing the "gun scandal" incident last season, the Wizards' strength plummeted and they embarked on the road of reconstruction.

Under the alliance's black box operation, they won the 10-year No. [-] pick and selected John Wall.

Wall did not disappoint the Wizards management, averaging 16.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game.

If it weren't for the outstanding performance of repeater Blake Griffin, Wall would be a strong contender for this year's Rookie of the Year.

When Wall realized his talent, the management of the Wizards decisively gave up Arenas and helped Wall.

But no team was willing to take over Arenas' junk contract, so the Wizards had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and complete a deal with the Magic in exchange for Mr. Lewis, a billionaire.

Both parties in this transaction have basically achieved their respective goals, and there is no loss. It can be said that everyone is happy.

After the Wizards dealt with the thorns in the team, they began to rebuild around Wall as the core.

Team rebuilding did not happen overnight. Even if the Cavaliers selected James with the No. [-] pick, they did not make the playoffs in the first year.

Therefore, the Wizards only had a poor record of 10 wins and 23 losses in the new season, ranking second to last in the Eastern Conference.

With such a bad record, other teams have already started to perform poorly, but the Wizards did the opposite, going all out to win every game and trying to improve the team's ranking.

This is not because the Wizards players have the Mamba mentality of never giving up, but because their 11 first-round pick is in the hands of the Warriors.

If you play poorly and get a high pick, isn't that equivalent to working for the Warriors for nothing?

Therefore, the Wizards will go all out to defend Washington and win this crucial game.

The Warriors will also not be merciful. The more the Wizards lose, the greater the probability of getting a high pick, and they will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

With their interests intertwined, the two teams played this game with their own little thoughts.

After the start of the game, the Warriors took the lead in entering the state, playing an 8-0 offensive climax, and instantly opened up the point difference.

The Wizards quickly made adjustments, with Nick Young acting as the core of the offense to open up the situation for the team.

As one of the representatives of Nervous Knife, Nick Young is definitely an All-Star player when he gets wind.

In the new season, he averaged 17.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, setting a career high. He is one of the contenders for the Most Improved Player award this season.

Facing Teacher Tony's strict defense, Nick Young responded with difficult jump shots to help the team narrow the point difference.

Seeing that the Wizards were about to tie the score, the Warriors players did not panic, and everything was under control.

They don't have to worry that the Wizards' singles tactics can completely kill the Warriors. As long as the Wizards' shooting percentage starts to decline, it is the moment for the Warriors to counterattack.

It didn't make the Warriors wait too long. In the second half of the second quarter, Nick Young may have been affected by his physical fitness and missed one after another.

The Warriors seized the opportunity and played a smooth defensive counterattack.

The connection between Sun Yi and Curry, and Curry's unsolvable three-pointer, once again widened the gap.

After Nick Young was limited by the Warriors, no one on the Wizards could step up and shoulder the offensive burden.

Wall just entered the league with inexperience. After being targeted by the Warriors for defense, he became unable to play. He made many pass errors and his offensive choices were very unreasonable.

Mr. Billionaire Lewis has a high salary and low ability, and he is useless. He missed three-pointers from the outside line one after another, and failed to renew the life of the Wizards.

As for other Wizards players, they do not have the ability to attack independently and cannot break through the Warriors' iron-clad defense.

In this way, the halftime game ended, and the Warriors led by 12 points into the second half.

After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half began.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors stopped pretending and showed off their cards. They came up with their killer "elevator door" tactic, catching the Wizards off guard.

In just a few minutes, the Warriors widened the point difference to 20 points.

Originally, the Wizards players still wanted to work hard to chase points, but now the situation is over, and the fire of winning in their hearts has been completely extinguished.

Relying on the wave of the third quarter, the Warriors completely defeated the Wizards and kept the lead to the end.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Wizards 122-95.

In terms of statistics, Curry won the honor of the best player in the game.

在上场的32分钟内，三分球12投7中，砍下27分2篮板5助攻1抢断的全面数据。

After the game, Sun Yi deliberately found Wall to have a chat, after all, many friends have many paths.

The two chatted happily, each left their phone numbers, and made an appointment to train together during the offseason.

After bidding farewell to Wall, Sun Yi came to the sidelines for a post-match interview, and then returned to the locker room to join the team.

……

After playing the Wizards, all members of the Warriors rushed to Orlando non-stop to challenge the Magic back to back.

At this stage, the Magic has achieved a record of 24 wins and 10 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The team's star Howard has reached the peak of his career, averaging 22.9 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.

Although Warcraft played such an eye-catching performance, the Magic still couldn't get back into the championship ranks.

After losing to the Lakers in the 09 Finals, the Magic was manipulated randomly by the management, and the overall strength of the team has been declining year after year.

Not long ago, the Magic just completed a few transactions.

The first deal was to send away Carter and backup center Gortat, and traded back former heroes Turkoglu and Jason Richardson.

This transaction led to a sharp decline in the overall strength of the Magic.

Turkoglu wasted two years outside, and his strength is no longer what it used to be.

After the trade of backup center Gortat, Howard did not have a qualified backup center, his playing time increased significantly, and his defensive efficiency was also greatly reduced.

The second transaction was to send away Mr. Lewis, the billionaire, and get Arenas, a thorn that could explode at any time.

A series of operations by the Magic's management can be said to be a huge failure.

After that, the Magic's strength declined, and within a few years it became a weak team. This is inseparable from the "credit" of the management.

On the other hand, the situation of the Warriors is completely opposite to that of the Magic. The team's strength is increasing day by day, and it has the momentum to soar.

The competition between the new powerhouses and the established teams is about to begin!
After the game started, the Warriors' offense was very clear.

Sun Yi acted as the core of the offense, constantly looking for misplaced singles to hit Nelson, helping the Warriors open up the situation.

The Magic still play a one-star four-shot tactic, allowing Howard to serve as the core of the offense.

The Warriors' defense has improved by many levels compared to last season, and the declining Magic team is naturally not easy to handle.

After the Magic's outside offense was blocked, Howard could only force the inside to break the game.

Warcraft also struggled against Chandler's defense, and Sun Yi came to help defend the ball from time to time, disrupting his offensive rhythm.

After being harassed on the offensive end, Howard's mentality changed and he became a little impatient, which led to him taking excessive actions on the defensive end and constantly committing fouls.

Howard, who was plagued by fouls, could only be forced to rest.

Without Howard on the court, the Magic's strength plummeted and they became a bad team, unable to withstand the Warriors' crazy offensive firepower.

In this way, the Magic resisted for three quarters before surrendering and giving up the game.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Magic 108-89.

In terms of statistics, Sun Yi was elected the best player of the game.

在上场的34分钟内，砍下35分7篮板7助攻2盖帽的全面数据。

After the game, Sun Yi stepped forward to have a friendly exchange with Howard.

Howard didn't feel sad because of the loss, he chatted with Sun Yi happily.

Sun Yi is not surprised by this, it's just that Happy Beast has a different concept of basketball.

After saying goodbye to Howard, Sun Yi walked into the player tunnel and returned to the locker room to join the team.

After defeating the Magic, the Warriors have played all games for 10 years and will usher in a new year's journey.
