Chapter 110 Encountered a losing streak(2/2)
In the end, the Warriors lost to the Bulls 101-108 and suffered a two-game losing streak.
Sun Yi performed pretty well, scoring 18 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in the 36 minutes he played.
Gibson, who faced him in this game, was also a rookie in 2009.
Against such a rookie, Sun Yi, who has rich game experience, played very easily.
Curry's performance was pretty good. He adjusted his condition and didn't stretch his hips as much as he did in the last game.
In 32 minutes on the court, he scored 17 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds.
After losing to the Bulls, all members of the Warriors rushed to Detroit overnight to face the Pistons back-to-back.
In the game against the Pistons, the Warriors also dragged the game into the decisive moment.
With 15 seconds left in the game, the Pistons only led by 2 points and the Warriors had the ball.
After returning from the timeout, Sun Yi received the pass and came outside the three-point line to organize the attack.
The other four members of the Warriors moved quickly without the ball.
Due to the Warriors' excellent outside shooting in this game, the Pistons expanded their defense and focused on defending three-pointers.
Sun Yi saw that his teammates had no chance, so he had no choice but to complete the victory by himself.
To be conservative, Sun Yi broke through inside and did not gamble on a three-pointer.
When the Pistons players saw Sun Yi breaking through to the basket, they immediately retreated towards the penalty area.
Sun Yi, who was dribbling a breakthrough, saw the Pistons players forming a double-team on him. He wanted to pass the ball but there was no space.
Seeing that time was almost up, he could only stop and shoot a fadeaway jumper against the defense of Prince and Ben Wallace.
"when!"
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
In the end, the Warriors lost to the Pistons 96-98 and suffered a three-game losing streak.
The audience suddenly burst into deafening cheers and shouts.
The fans of the home team were thankful that the Pistons survived the disaster.
On the court, Sun Yi froze on the spot, looked at his hands, and didn't know what he was thinking.
It wasn't until Curry came over to comfort him that Sun Yi came back to his senses.
"Stephen, thank you, I'm fine."
After Sun Yi finished speaking, he went straight to the players' tunnel.
All great players will experience such losses, and only by becoming stronger will they not feel the pain again.
After returning to the hotel where he stayed, Sun Yi deliberately found a nearby court to practice shooting.
He didn't want the same thing to happen in the future.
…

The next day, on "The Barkley Talk Show," Barkley and Kenny Smith talked about the Warriors' recent performance.
"After the Warriors lost to the Pistons today, they suffered a three-game losing streak and their ranking has dropped to the second to last position in the Western Conference.
The lack of core player Monta Ellis has a great impact on the Warriors, and it seems that they are going to go the same way as last season."
Kenny Smith was the first to express his views.
"Kenny, I don't agree with your point of view. The Warriors have been playing as a playoff-level team during this period. They are playing pretty well despite the lack of core players, and the Warriors have added Sun and Steph. They have become completely new and I am very optimistic about their future." Barkley expressed his opinion.
"Charles, then I have to hit you again. The data from these games show that the personal data of Sun and Stephen Curry have a clear downward trend, and they may encounter the rookie wall."
Kenny Smith looked at the data sheet and analyzed it rationally.
According to big data analysis, after the rookie has played almost six games, he will face his first challenge.
At this time, the head coaches of each team have a certain understanding of this group of rookies who have just joined the league, and have formulated some targeted measures for some key targets.
"Oh, since you are so optimistic about the Warriors, let's take a gamble."
Kenny Smith lured Barkley to the bait step by step.
"Oh, let me tell you whether it's worth the bet."
Having learned from past mistakes, Barkley will not be easily fooled.
"The Warriors will face the Mavericks in the next game. These two teams will definitely create some different sparks, you know."
"Kenny, let me think about it." After Barkley finished speaking, he thought about it seriously.
He and Kenny Smith partnered as commentators, and Kenny Smith always cheated him, and he had never cheated anyone else.
This time, he felt that Kenny Smith suffered a big loss.
"Kenny, how about I propose the bet and you propose the bet?"
Kenny Smith thought for a while and agreed to Barkley's proposal.
If the bet goes against him, the punishment will be reduced; otherwise, the punishment will be increased.
"Kenny, if the Warriors upset the Mavericks in the next game or Sun can score 30 points, how about I win as long as I complete one goal?" Barkley proposed a bet.
"No, no, no, this is obviously unfair. I have to make some changes before I agree." Kenny Smith shook his head and said.
"Well, let's talk about it first."
"If you complete both of the above conditions, you win. Otherwise, I win. If you only complete one of the conditions, it's a tie without any penalty. How about that?"
"Where's the bet? What's the bet?" Buckley didn't agree immediately and asked about the bet just to be on the safe side.
"The bet is to kiss the pig's butt, okay?"
"No, I don't agree!" Buckley objected immediately.
Kenny Smith ignored it, nodded and said: "I agree! Charles's objection is invalid, that's it!"
At the same time, the fans in front of the TV became excited.
