I have to say that Irving's offensive ability is still very strong.

Especially when your opponent lets their guard down.

Deng Fang did not make any special preparations for Irving, which made Irving like a duck in water.

Facing the Warriors made Irving full of fighting spirit. He used all his energy to break through and score three points one after another!

That's the defending champion!

That's a two-time MVP!

Being able to win against the Warriors and gain the upper hand in the competition with Curry will give Irving great confidence!

It doesn't matter whether the record of leading the team is good or not, winning one game with the Warriors in a season is enough!

Needless to say Irving, almost all Cavaliers players think so!

With 100% hard work, Irving feels hot in the hand, no matter how hard he shoots!

The Warriors fell behind by 10 points as soon as they came up!

But Deng Fang didn't care.

If you can win, win, if you can't win, it doesn't matter!

Deng Fang said before the game that the Cavaliers without James are very powerful and Irving is a superstar. This game will be very difficult for us.

It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he adds some trouble to James!

Taking the lead right from the start made the Cavaliers even more energetic. They fought harder and grabbed more fiercely.

The Warriors didn't have much luck either. There were a lot of open spots on the outside, but they couldn't make any shots.

In the end, the Cavaliers won the game 113:101!

Irving made 10 of 15 three-pointers, scored 42 points, and led the team to defeat the defending champion!

This was also the Warriors' first loss of the season.

Although he lost, Deng Fang didn't take it seriously.

It's impossible to win completely. There will always be times when a team doesn't feel good, and it's easy for things to go wrong if they keep winning.

Even from a player's perspective, winning all the time is not a good thing.

No one can stay in a state of excitement all the time, otherwise it will be very annoying if they lose.

It’s not bad to lose once in a while!

Especially when losing to a non-competitive team like the Cavaliers!

…

The loss to the Cavaliers made the Warriors players very depressed. They all held in their anger and wanted to let it out.

The unlucky ones are the Knicks!

On January 17, 2012, the Warriors visited Madison Square Garden to challenge the Knicks.

The Knicks have made a lot of changes this season. They introduced defensive center Tyson Chandler, which has improved their defense to a certain extent.

However, due to the presence of Anthony and Stoudemire, two stars who focus more on offense than defense, the Knicks' defense is still in the middle and lower reaches of the league.

Deng Fang would not be polite when dealing with such a team!

You are not a bad team!

Even if it's a bad team, you're not a knight!

There is only one knight in the alliance!

Although it is not a good thing to win all the time, it is even worse to lose continuously!

Deng Fang released Curry and others after a break, and the Warriors went on a killing spree again!

The Knicks only resisted for a quarter and a half before surrendering.

There was no way, it was just a loss of more than ten points in the first game, and the point difference continued to widen when the substitutes came on in the second quarter, so that the Knicks fell behind by 32 points halfway through the second quarter!

How to fight this?

D'Antoni is not a stubborn person, and he quickly gave up resistance.

The Knicks admitted defeat and put on a substitute, and the Warriors also put on a substitute.

Although they are substitute players, the Warriors are not soft-hearted, and the players who come up are still very powerful.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Knicks by 36 points 145:109!

Curry only played one game and scored 18 points, 10 assists, and 3 rebounds!

Klay felt hot, played 31 minutes, made 7 three-pointers, scored 32 points and 5 rebounds.

…

After the Knicks were the Raptors, Bucks and Pistons. These three opponents were not very strong, and the Warriors won without any effort.

Four consecutive victories are achieved again!

On January 25, 2012, the Warriors faced the challenge of the New York Knicks at Oracle Arena.

This time the Knicks held on longer than last time, and they didn't give up resistance until the middle of the third quarter.

There was no way, Curry turned on the day-to-day mode, scoring 5 three-pointers in three minutes, directly opening the point difference to more than 20 points!

Looking at Curry running on the court, Knicks coach D'Antoni is drooling!

Turning his head to look at Deng Fang on the Warriors coaching bench, D'Antoni's face was full of envy and jealousy!

What do you have to say?

It’s just good luck!

Give me a Curry and I can still achieve impressive results!

Give me another Clay, and I can rule the entire league!

Although I am not convinced, the result of losing is unavoidable.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Knicks 138:101, doubling the Knicks this season!

Two days later Oracle Arena welcomed the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers have always been a strong team in the Western Conference in the past few years. No matter whether the Warriors or the Spurs are number one, no matter how the situation changes, with the efforts of Kobe Bryant, Gasol and others, the Lakers have always been a force that cannot be ignored.

strength.

However, the Lakers are also in an awkward situation, unable to go up and down, and unable to go down!

If you want to go up, there are stronger teams such as the Warriors, Spurs, and Mavericks in front of you; if you want to come down and win the draft picks, it is impossible. After all, the team has Kobe, Gasol and others, and the strength does not allow it!

The biggest problem for the Lakers is that they are too aging.

Fisher is 38 years old, Artest is 33 years old, Kobe is 34 years old, and Gasol is 32 years old!

Boxing is afraid of young people, this sentence is still no problem!

In addition to the age of the leader, another problem for the Lakers is that they have no reliable pitchers!

Under the leadership of the Warriors, the league is now paying more and more attention to outside shooting, but the Lakers' outside shooting is still not good.

The Lakers' most accurate outside shooter this season is Ramon Sessions, but he only takes 1.5 three-pointers per game and can only make 0.7!

He averages less than one three-pointer per game!

No matter how high the hit rate is, this number is useless!

A small number means you invested less, and the credibility of the data is not high!

Except for Sessions, there is no other player on the Lakers outside who can shoot more than 40% of their three-pointers!

Kobe's three-point shooting percentage was 30.3%, Artest's three-point shooting percentage was 29.6%, Blake's three-point shooting percentage was 33.5%, and even Fisher, who has always been very reliable, only shot 32.4%!

This kind of outside shooting would have been fine two years ago, but it is no longer the case in this era.

You know, the Warriors' entire three-point shooting percentage is close to 40%!

Even Lopez, who had never shot a three-pointer before, started throwing three-pointers after arriving with the Warriors!

Although the hit rate will reach 30%, it is already very difficult for a defensive center.

Facing a team like the Lakers, the Warriors are a complete dimensionality reduction attack!

The Lakers' interior offense can't break through the Warriors' defense, but the Warriors' outside shooting can penetrate the Lakers!

If you can't score and can't defend, how can you win the game?

Eventually the game turned into a bloodbath!

The Lakers fell behind by more than 30 points before halftime!

Kobe has been fighting on the court, and he works hard, but today his touch was not good. He took more than a dozen three-point shots and only made two.

The younger brother is unreliable, and the older brother is also out of shape. It is only reasonable that the game ended like this.
