Chapter 194 Inescapable Internal Contradiction(2/2)
I heard that James, Wade and others have closed their social accounts during this period and concentrated on preparing for the war, hoping to save face through practical actions.
In fact, this is not the fault of the Heat, it’s just that the opponents they encountered at the beginning of the new season were too strong, and they were basically among the top ten teams.
Judging from the schedule, the Heat were attacked invisibly.
No need to guess, the man behind this situation must have the shadow of league commissioner David Stern.
It can be said that the league arranged this arrangement to give the Heat a showdown.
Judging from the current results, Stern has obviously succeeded.
It is foreseeable that the Heat will not have an easy time in the coming days.
At this stage, some of the teams are happy and some are worried, but the new season has just begun and they still have a lot of time to adjust and adjust. The final result is unknown.
…
On November 5, the Warriors faced the Phoenix Suns at home.
Last season, the Suns eliminated the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals and successfully advanced to the finals, but still failed to break through and fell on the floor of the Western Conference finals.
After this defeat, problems arose within the Suns.
Some players couldn't see the hope of winning the championship and were a little disheartened, so they decided to focus on money and pursue big contracts.
The main core player Stoudemire is one of them. After his contract expired, he did not renew his contract with the Suns and directly tested the free market, hoping to change to a new environment and compete for the championship.
After losing Stoudemire, the Suns wanted to strengthen in the free market, but they only traded Turkoglu, which did not make up for the Suns' loss.
The loss of the main core and some role players has resulted in a significant decline in the overall strength of the Suns.
On the other hand, the Warriors have made significant reinforcements during the offseason, and the team is much stronger than last season.
After comparing the two, the Warriors had an absolute advantage, and the situation on both sides reversed.
After the internal conflicts occurred, Nelson was not in a hurry to adjust the starting lineup.
With Monta Ellis's unruly character, he will definitely not be willing to play as a substitute. We can only hope that he can change his style of play and make more off-the-ball movements and passes.
After the game, Ellis played singles very willfully, wanting to tell others that the Warriors were still his team.
But the Suns' Richardson had no cooperation and was very focused on defense, making Ellis' singles efficiency very low.
Xiao Gongju will definitely not be convinced and forcefully breaks through the attack frame.
I don't know what happened, but the Suns' originally weak inside line suddenly became frayed, causing Ellis a lot of trouble.
After Ellis's rough play, the Warriors, who were originally stronger, were beaten by the Suns.
Warriors head coach Nelson frowned when he saw what was happening on the court. In order to win the game, he forcefully replaced Ellis and replaced him with Tony Allen.
After the substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors took on a new lease of life, which was completely different from their previous performance. They played very smoothly on the offensive end, and also restricted the Suns on the defensive end, instantly reversing the situation on the court.
On the bench of the Warriors, Ellis looked at Sun Yi, who was invincible in singles, and Curry, who hit consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line. He didn't know what he was thinking.
On the court, relying on Sun Yi, Curry and others to show their prowess, the Warriors quickly widened the point difference and maintained a double-digit lead.
In the following games, the Suns, led by Nash, launched counterattacks again and again, but were suppressed by the Warriors.
The Warriors have a balanced offense and defense in the new season. They are not the team last season that only had offense and no defense.
