On January 3, the Warriors challenged the Trail Blazers back-to-back.

The Trail Blazers are having a tough time at the moment, suffering from serious injuries.

Head star Brandon Luo Yin is out due to injury, while the much-anticipated Oden is out for the season.

With a shortage of major generals, Aldridge stepped in at the critical moment and performed brilliantly, leading the Trail Blazers to a record of 22 wins and 14, ranking seventh in the Western Conference and returning to the Western Conference playoffs.

The Trail Blazers are bound to win this game. After all, if they want to reach the playoffs in the Western Conference, they must strive to win.

At the same time, after the Warriors suffered their first defeat of the new year, the team urgently needed a victory to stabilize their morale. A team with decent strength like the Trail Blazers is an excellent opponent.

Both teams have their own reasons why they cannot lose and will bring an exciting game to the fans.

After the game started, the Warriors were obviously well prepared and carried out targeted defense against the Trail Blazers' core scoring points.

Aldridge had a very difficult time facing Sun Yi's defense. He couldn't get past him in a post-up game, and he would be chipped when he broke through with the ball. His only advantage was his height.

But Sun Yi can also interfere with Aldridge's fadeaway jumper by relying on his wingspan and excellent anticipation.

After the singles tactics were restricted, the Trail Blazers immediately made adjustments and switched to teamwork, tearing apart the Warriors' defense through pick-and-rolls, screens and other tactics.

The Warriors quickly responded by switching defenses immediately when encountering a screen, adopting a strategy of unlimited defense changes and not giving the Trail Blazers players an opportunity to easily shoot.

After limiting the Blazers' offense on the defensive end, the Warriors came out with full firepower on the offensive end.

This game is Curry's redemption battle. In order to make up for his mistakes in the previous game, his desire to attack tonight was very high and his shots were very determined.

Trail Blazers center Camby is not good at defending pick-and-rolls. In order to improve his statistics, he will not easily defend after switching defenses, but will rush back to the basket to grab rebounds.

After Curry and Chandler complete the pick-and-roll cooperation outside the three-point line, they can get very good shooting opportunities.

The primary school students seized the opportunity and hit a very high three-point shooting rate.

In the following game, Camby was asked by head coach McMillan to guard him, but it was too late.

Curry showed confidence and brought the essence of small to large to the extreme, combining sudden shots with frequent scoring.

When Trail Blazers head coach McMillan saw the situation on the court, he frowned and shook his head helplessly.

Curry alone gives him a huge headache. The Warriors still have a big killer that they haven't used yet, so how can they still fight?!

Seeing that the situation was over, McMillan had no choice but to surrender and abandon the game.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 102-86.

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

In the 32 minutes he played, he made 7 of 12 three-pointers and scored 31 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Sun Yi devoted his energy to the defensive end, and his statistics were quite satisfactory, with 18 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

For the Trail Blazers, the most outstanding player is Aldridge.

In 36 minutes on the court, he scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

After the game, the Warriors players had no time to celebrate the victory and hurried back to the locker room to take a shower and then take the bus to the airport.

Next, the Warriors will rush to Denver non-stop to challenge the Nuggets back-to-back. They can only rest on the plane.

It is conceivable that the continuous battles make the players physically and mentally exhausted and unable to maintain a good competitive state.

At the same time, in order to prevent injuries, Nelson took turns resting Shane Battier and Chandler to train young people to prepare for the next game.

On January 4, the Warriors challenged the Nuggets, who have been gaining momentum recently, away from home.

After the game started, the Nuggets took the lead and, under the leadership of Billups, played smooth teamwork to seize the opportunity.

The Warriors quickly made adjustments and used screens to create opportunities for Sun Yi to hit Billups in misplaced singles.

Billups, who is old and frail, naturally cannot defend Sun Yi alone, so he can only ask his teammates to help him defend against double teams.

Facing a double team, Sun Yi handled the ball calmly and passed the ball to the best position.

However, other Warriors players were affected by their physical fitness and failed to convert Sun Yi's pass into assists, thus wasting many opportunities.

Seeing the hope of defeating the Warriors, the Nuggets quickly increased their defensive intensity, constantly exerted defensive pressure, and played very decisively on the offensive end, taking shots whenever they had the chance.

At the same time, Jr. Smith acted as a surprise player and performed brilliantly, preventing the Warriors from narrowing the point difference during the rotation phase.

The Nuggets relied on an all-out team play to suppress the Warriors' counterattack and maintain their lead until the end.

In the end, the Warriors lost to the Nuggets 94-99.

The Warriors did not stay in Denver. They dragged their exhausted bodies to the airport and rushed back to Oakland overnight.

After playing the Nuggets, the Warriors got two days of valuable rest. They will go home to recuperate and prepare for the next game.

On January 7, the Warriors, who had two days off, faced the Bucks at home.

This is the first time Jennings has challenged the Warriors' two stars this season.

Originally, he wanted to rely on his own strength to perform brilliantly, lead the team to defeat the Warriors, and gain a lot of exposure.

But the game process was completely different from what Jennings imagined, and the reality was so cruel.

The well-rested Warriors once again transformed into dragon-slaying warriors, easily hunting down the non-aggressive stag.

Jennings was taught a terrible lesson by Teacher Tony. He transformed into a Milwaukee blacksmith and made the basket bang. His performance was extremely bad.

In contrast, the Warriors' twin stars Sun Yi and Curry played very well. The two teamed up to score 52 points and led the team to an easy victory.

The Bucks did not pose much of a threat to the Warriors, and their next opponent was their target.

On January 8, the Warriors faced the Spurs back-to-back at home.

Spurs head coach Popovich was so cunning that he rested Duncan, Ginobili and others and let Parker lead the team in this game.

The Warriors, who were fully prepared, were dumbfounded when they saw the Spurs' starting lineup, feeling like their fists were being punched on cotton.

Immediately, they vented their anger on the court and beat the Spurs' role players to pieces.

Without any suspense, Sun Yi scored 30 again, leading the Warriors to a 121-95 victory over the Spurs and two consecutive victories.

After defeating the Spurs, the Warriors defeated the Suns, Timberwolves, Hornets and Grizzlies in the next game, winning six consecutive games and ending the Devils' schedule.

In this devilish schedule, the Warriors posted an outstanding record of 10 wins and 2 losses, making everyone realize that the Warriors have become an out-and-out strong team.

Outside experts immediately changed the direction and began to spare no effort to praise the Warriors.

Before the start of the new season, some experts and celebrities who were not optimistic about the Warriors were pulled out and "whipped" and severely slapped in the face.

The Warriors ignored the external disturbances and concentrated on preparing for the next game.

In the next few games, the Warriors defeated their opponents one after another, extending their winning streak to ten games.

This winning streak did not last long, until they encountered the Thunder, their ten-game winning streak came to an abrupt end and they lost this powerful matchup.

After this defeat, the Warriors got back on track again, posting a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, losing only to the Bulls during this period.

In this way, after various abuses and losses in strong matches, the Warriors ushered in the highly anticipated Spring Festival war.
