After winning the Christmas Day game, the Warriors' morale is high and the players are full of confidence. They firmly believe that the Warriors will go far this season.

The players celebrated alone in the locker room and then went back to their own ways.

It is not the time to celebrate at this stage, because before the Christmas game, the Warriors' schedule will become difficult and they will usher in a wave of devilish schedule.

In order to recharge and maintain good condition for the upcoming games, players who do not have time to go out.

…

The next day, the headlines on the front page of Yu News were all about the Christmas war.

"The two stars of the Warriors shine on Christmas night, and they heat up the Big Three!"

"Sun Yihao achieved a triple-double and led the team to a victory over the Heat!"

"The king shall stand! The rise of the warrior is unstoppable!"

Watching the news reports on his mobile phone, Sun Yi felt happy, and then read a few other news about the Christmas war.

In the game between the Knicks and the Thunder, Durant scored 45 points and led the team to win the game, taking the lead in the battle for the scoring title.

In the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks, both sides played a wonderful game.

Dayao and Nowitzki combined for 52 points and 22 rebounds to lead the team to victory, eclipsing Kobe's triple-double of 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

In the game between the Celtics and the Bulls, Rose, who has won two consecutive Eastern Conference Players of the Week, performed well, posting a double-double of 30 points and 12 assists, leading the team to an easy victory over the Celtics.

"There are so many people in the alliance, it's like a fight between gods!"

Sun Yi looked at the news reports displayed on his mobile phone and couldn't help but sigh.

After browsing the recent news reports, Sun Yi put down his phone, quickly finished his breakfast, and then went out to meet Curry and drove to the arena for daily training.

…

On December 27, the Warriors' devilish schedule officially begins, and their first opponent will be the Hornets.

At this stage, the Hornets have a record of 16 wins and 15 losses, ranking ninth in the Western Conference, and have the strength to impact the Western Conference playoffs.

The Bees encountered a series of changes during the offseason.

First, head coach Scott was fired and Monty Williams was hired.

Secondly, they signed Ariza on a small scale in the free market, which can be regarded as reinforcement in the offseason.

After the start of the new season, the team's star Chris Paul's new season data dropped significantly, hitting a career low.

The performance of new aid Ali also did not meet expectations. He only made about 30% of his three-pointers. He did not contribute to the Hornets and was a hindrance.

In addition to the changes in personnel, the top management of the football team has also undergone sudden changes.

Since the Hornets were losing money every year and could not make ends meet, the team owner decided to run away and leave the bad team to the league.

Amid internal and external troubles, the players of the Hornets were worried and secretly looking for their next home to leave a way out for themselves.

Even under such terrible circumstances, the Hornets can still make the playoffs, which shows that their strength cannot be underestimated.

The situation of the Warriors is exactly the opposite of that of the Hornets. The team defeated the powerful Heat Big Three in the last game. The morale is high, and the team is harmonious. The players are in good spirits.)

Therefore, most fans predicted that the Warriors would win this game.

After the game started, the situation on the field was basically as the fans predicted, and the Hornets' offense came to a standstill.

In this game, the Braves specially formulated a defensive strategy against the Hornets' offense.

Teacher Tony was sent to defend Paul, and Sun Yi returned to No. 4 to defend David West, forcing the Hornets' dismantling tactics to fail.

Facing the Warriors' strong defense, the Hornets simply couldn't break through.

The Hornets' main scoring method relies on the pick-and-roll cooperation between Paul and David West. Other than that, they have no other offensive strengths.

The much-anticipated Ariza was very inefficient under Battier's defense. He shot less than 30% from three-pointers and was unable to break the game for the Bees.

Just like that, the first quarter ended, and the Warriors led by 10 points heading into the second quarter.

After the start of the second quarter (this chapter is not finished yet!)

, Paul did not stay on the bench to rest, and continued to play, hoping to lead the bench to chase points.

But the reality was crueler than imagined. Sun Yi acted as a point guard during the rotation period and caught Paul and beat him up.

Sun Yizhi, who served as the point guard, was a bug and almost caused Paul to lose his basketball dream.

The more Paul played, the more uncomfortable he became. He knew he couldn't win the game, and he gave up on the yellow team.

Although the Hornets have playoff potential, it is too difficult to stand out from the many strong teams in the Western Conference.

Since you can't touch the floor of the Western Conference finals, it's better to change your goal and touch the floor of the Western Conference finals.

After Paul made a plan in his mind, he continued to devote himself to the game.

Although there is no hope of victory, he is a very persistent person. The stronger the opponent, the less likely he is to admit it.

But the strength of the Hornets is indeed inferior to that of the Warriors, and they cannot narrow the point difference at all. On the contrary, it is getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of the half, the Warriors entered the second half with an 18-point lead.

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

As soon as the game started in the third quarter, Paul still did not give up and led the team to chase points.

Looking to narrow the point difference to single digits, the Warriors strengthened their defense, limited the Hornets' scoring, and played smooth defensive counterattacks on the offensive end, widening the point difference again.

In the second half of the third quarter, Paul, who had barely rested, had a physical crisis. His shooting posture became deformed and he missed shots one after another.

The Warriors seized the opportunity, and Sun Yi constantly misplaced Paul in singles. Not only was he able to score easily, but he was also able to drain Paul's energy, killing two birds with one stone.

Hornets head coach Monty Williams saw the situation on the court and had no choice but to take Paul off the court to rest.

After Paul left the game, the Hornets lost their playmaker, and the team's offense couldn't operate and could only play in isolation.

However, the efficiency of the singles was too low. Not only did it fail to narrow the point difference, it also gave the Warriors an opportunity to defend and counterattack, making the point difference wider and wider.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led by 25 points entering the first quarter.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the head coaches of both teams replaced players with Yuan Yuan in a tacit understanding, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Hornets 110-86.

In terms of statistics, there is no doubt that Sun Yi was elected the best player of the game.

In 30 minutes on the court, he scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

After the game, Paul did not accept a post-game interview and walked toward the tunnel with a frustrated expression.

When he entered the player tunnel, he accidentally saw Sun Yi, who was surrounded by media reporters, and he was thoughtful)

"The newcomers are rising too fast, leaving no way for veterans like them to survive. They should think about where to go next, and then it will become more and more difficult to win the championship."

Paul turned around and quickly walked into the players' tunnel, thinking about his way down.
