Chapter 132: My Brother Gua(2/2)
If it weren't for Ellis's hard support, the game might have entered garbage time.
When facing strong teams, Ellis can indeed perform well, raising the Warriors' upper limit infinitely.
But at critical moments, the Warriors lacked stable scoring points.
Once Xiaogong's misfire occurs, Sun Yi and Curry are targeted and unable to provide offensive firepower, and they will be doomed.
This game encountered such a situation.
At the last moment of the fourth quarter, Ellis suddenly misfired, Sun Yi felt cold in the face of heavy defense, and Curry was in poor condition due to his physical strength.
The Magic took the opportunity to widen the point difference and completely seal the victory.
In the end, the Warriors lost to the Magic with a score of 91-99.
In terms of data, the data of the Warriors Gemini dropped significantly.
Sun Yi scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.
Curry was severely guarded and only scored 8 points and 4 assists. Once again, he failed to score in double figures.
Xiao Gongju Ellis had a big breakout in this game, scoring 32 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
For the Magic, the best performer was undoubtedly Howard, who was elected the best player of the game.
In the 40 minutes he played, he scored a double-double of 28 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks.
After this game, the Warriors players realized the gap with the championship teams, which made Sun Yi and others work harder to improve their strength.
After the game against the Magic, the Warriors rushed to Washington without stopping.
In the second stop of their road trip, the Warriors will challenge the Wizards.
At this stage, the Wizards have not encountered the "gun scandal" incident, and their record is very good. They started with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.
It will be very difficult for the Warriors to win on the road.
Once the game started, the Warriors were in trouble.
Former Warriors player Stephen Jackson was full of energy and full firepower.
He wants to prove to the outside world that he is worth more than that bullshit No. 6 pick in the first round.
The first person to suffer was Sun Yi, who was scored several goals by Wu Sheng Jackson.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi couldn't bear it anymore and really thought he was a soft persimmon.
After adapting to Jackson's offense, Sun Yi began to fight back, sending big blocks one after another.
The Warriors took this opportunity to quickly narrow the point difference.
But Jackson is not the only one on the Wizards team. After seeing the brothers who had just joined the team being dealt with, the Wizards' three-headed monsters each showed their talents and scored in their own special way.
General Arenas faced the Warriors' weak back line and started scoring points, even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
The Oakland young blacksmith's competitive spirit was completely aroused, and he scored points with Arenas.
Sun Yi was not involved. He does not have such explosive scoring power at this stage. He can just be a freeloader and enjoy assists.
Curry still hasn't recovered from his condition in this game, and with back-to-back games, he was physically exhausted and only got about 25 minutes of playing time.
Therefore, primary school students play the role of soy sauce in this competition.
In the end, the Wizards were superior and defeated the Warriors with a score of 124 to 113.
In terms of statistics, Sun Yi scored a triple-double of 12 points, 11 rebounds, 16 assists and 4 blocks.
Curry scored 5 points and 2 assists, and his performance was a bit poor, as if he had hit the rookie wall.
Ellis once again scored 38 points, but still failed to lead the team to victory.
For the Wizards, Arenas scored 35 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and was elected the best player of the game.
After this game, the Warriors got a day of valuable rest.
During this period, Nelson specifically talked to Curry and did some ideological work.
In fact, in this situation, others can't help much, and players who encounter the rookie wall can only rely on themselves to break through the wall.
If you successfully break through the rookie wall, you will be reborn and your strength will be improved, but players who cannot break through the rookie wall will become mediocre after that.
Although Sun Yi did not encounter the rookie wall, he summed up a lot of experience and shared it all with Curry, hoping it would be useful to him.
At the same time, other Warriors players also shared their experiences and lessons accumulated when encountering the rookie wall to provide help to Curry.
In such a harmonious atmosphere of mutual help, the Warriors ushered in their next opponent.
On November 25, the Warriors came to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers away from home.
The pioneers during this period were very powerful.
There is the yellow mamba Brandon Roy in his prime, Aldridge who averages a double-double per game, and the great Greg Oden who is plagued by injuries.
Also on the bench are France's Pippen Batum, best defensive player Marcus Camby, European monster Rudy Fernandez, Juwan Howard and other bench gangsters.
It is simply too difficult for the Warriors to take away victory on the road.
The main players can still have an inseparable battle with the Trail Blazers.
But after replacing the substitute players, the Warriors were defeated by the Trail Blazers.
Relying on the advantage established by the substitute players, the Trail Blazers did not take it lightly and maintained their lead until the end.
