Chapter 610: First month passed, first in the league

The facts were as those reporters expected. When they reported what Yang Shuai said at the press conference, James was so angry that he almost rushed to the hotel where Yang Shuai stayed to have a fight with him. Of course, James chose not to go in the end.

This is very correct, because he may not be Yang Shuai's opponent.

Yang Shuai did not let the clamor of James fans on the Internet affect his mood, otherwise he would not have said such a thing at the press conference. In fact, before leaving Miami, he also had a very sumptuous breakfast in the hotel.

Yang Shuai knew that no matter whether he said it or not, James' hatred of him would not diminish. In this case, why didn't he do something that would make his mortal enemy unhappy?

After ending their 12-game winning streak against the Heat, the Warriors still need to continue their road trip in the East, but they have moved from the Southeast Division to the Central Division. Their next opponent is the Indiana Pacers.

Compared with the Hawks and Heat, the Pacers are not strong, and the team's winning rate is hovering around 50. If it were the Warriors a week ago, even if they had just fought against the Hawks and Heat, they should still be able to deal with such a team.

It goes without saying, but after losing Chandler and Jackson, the Warriors played very hard against the Pacers.

Perhaps it was because he consumed too much energy in the last game against the Heat. After the game started, Yang Shuai seemed a little out of shape, and the Warriors' overall shooting rate was not high. In the second half of the opening quarter, they trailed their opponents by 6 points at 10:16.

At this time, Anthony Morrow, who had just been substituted, suddenly found a feeling outside the three-point line. Two consecutive three-pointers allowed the Warriors to close the score to only 2 points.

Then Yang Shuai blocked TJ Ford's layup on the defensive end and assisted Landry for a fast break. The two teams were tied.

In the rest of the first quarter, the score between the two teams did not open up until the end of the first quarter when the two teams were tied at 25:25.

Entering the second quarter, under the leadership of Evans, the Warriors scored a 6:0 spurt, allowing them to take the lead throughout the second quarter. However, Yang Shuai still failed to find his form. The Warriors

The offense relied more on Evans and Jamison, while Yang Shuai used passing balls to create opportunities for his teammates.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors led their opponents by 4 points 52:48. Yang Shuai only scored 8 points in the first half, sent 5 assists and grabbed 4 rebounds.

At the beginning of the second half, the Pacers launched a fierce attack. Their continuous attacks from beyond the three-point line quickly closed the gap, and they even completed the lead midway through the third quarter.

In the last game, the Warriors stunned the Heat with three-pointers, but in this game, under the Pacers' three-point firepower, the Warriors also felt a little confused. There were only the last three minutes of the third quarter.

, the Pacers, who were originally 4 points behind, have turned into a 10-point lead.

Yang Shuai, who had never found the offensive feeling before, finally ushered in an explosion at this time. In the last 3 minutes, Yang Shuai single-handedly took care of the Warriors' 8 points, allowing the Warriors to narrow the point difference to 10 points before entering the fourth quarter.

6 points.

76:82, losing to the Pacers by 10 points in a single quarter eliminated the Warriors' advantage.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Nelson did not directly replace Yang Shuai, but put him on the bench to rest as in previous games. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors once played a high-scoring wave to take the lead, but

Entering the fourth quarter, the same thing didn't happen again.

The Pacers left their starting center Roy Hibbert on the court. The 2.18-meter center turned the Warriors inside too much. His hard play, rebounds, and blocks at the basket found the Warriors'

After no one inside could threaten him, Hibbert seemed very excited and transformed into an all-round warrior during this period of time.

When Yang Shuai came on the court, the score difference that was originally 6 points widened to 10 points again. Although Yang Shuai's state also improved during this period, he still failed to lead the team to a successful reversal.

99:103, in Indiana, the Warriors finally tasted their first defeat of the new season and ended their 12-game winning streak. In this game, Yang Shuai once again got a triple-double, but the data was no longer as good as before.

So gorgeous. 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

After the game against the Pacers, the Warriors rushed to Chicago without stopping, where they needed to beat the Bulls back to back.

The result of the game disappointed Warriors fans. They lost again in this game and ushered in their second consecutive defeat in the new season.

Against the Pacers, the Warriors lost because of defense, but against the Bulls, it was because of offense and rebounding.

Throughout the game, the Warriors scored a season-low 83 points, and ultimately lost to their opponents by 10 points. The 83-point score said everything. Facing the Bulls' defense, the Warriors' offense was not as good as it had been in the past dozen games.

The sharpness shown.

Yang Shuai scored 36 points, but he only had 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 turnovers. Yang Shuai's condition improved in this game, but other Warriors players were a little out of shape facing the Bulls' defense.

The final outcome of this game was determined by rebounds. The Warriors only grabbed 37 rebounds in the game, while the Bulls had 59 rebounds. The difference in rebounds between the two teams was 22. Among the 59 rebounds by the Bulls

, had 20 offensive rebounds, while the Warriors only had 9. This alone gave the Bulls 11 more offensive opportunities than the Warriors. In the end, they lost to the Bulls by 10 points, and the Warriors did not lose unfairly.

Two consecutive losses finally exposed the impact of the loss of Chandler and Jackson to the Warriors. Without Chandler sitting in the paint, the Warriors' defensive capabilities were greatly reduced, and the same was true for rebounding. Without Jackson,

In the two important transition periods of the second quarter and fourth quarter, the Warriors' offense was significantly different from before.

As the outside media commented, after losing two generals, the Warriors' strength has dropped significantly.

They lost, but the game still has to go on. The Warriors have played four away games in the Eastern Conference. The last game of their Eastern Conference road trip is Cleveland, and their opponent is the Cavaliers without LeBron James.

This game was the easiest one the Warriors played in the Eastern Conference. Even without Jackson and Chandler, the Warriors were still a step ahead of the Cavaliers. The Warriors were in the lead throughout the game, and ended up with 110:89.

Defeat your opponent.

Yang Shuai almost didn't play in the fourth quarter, and his statistics weren't too flashy, but he still got a triple-double, with 24 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.

After the road trip in the Eastern Conference, the Warriors can finally fly back to Oakland. The Warriors' last two games in November will be held at home.

After returning to Oakland to rest for two days, the Warriors welcomed the weak Minnesota Timberwolves at home. The game had some twists and turns, but in the end the Warriors won the game.

Perhaps because of the consecutive away games, when they returned to their home court, the Warriors suddenly failed to find their form and were beaten 11:2 by the Timberwolves.

Fortunately, the Warriors made timely adjustments. Yang Shuai and Evans continuously attacked the basket, creating many scoring opportunities for the Warriors, which also allowed the Warriors to chase the score to 25:24 after the first quarter.

Since Stephen Jackson was injured, Nelson has been thinking about how to arrange the playing time of substitute players. In this game, he still used Evans as the team's main offensive force in this period. This time, E.

Vince did not disappoint Nelson again, nor did he attack or distribute the ball. Evans picked up the Warriors' offense. His performance during this period also allowed people to see a trace of Yang Shuai in him.

Evans led the team to take the lead, and what Yang Shuai had to do was to continuously widen the point difference, which is exactly what he did after coming on the field.

With their performance in the second quarter, the Warriors took the lead to 48:55 at the end of the first half.

After entering the second half, the Warriors quickly widened the point difference to 10 points, and then widened it to 14 points. However, at this time, the Warriors' own offense had problems. They did not score for nearly 4 minutes, allowing the Timberwolves to close the point difference.

It was reduced to only 4 points.

The Warriors' offense began to slowly stabilize, and so did the point difference between the two teams. Entering the fourth quarter, the Warriors continued to maintain a 4-point advantage.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves once tied the score difference with Kevin Love's offense, but the Warriors then performed well on both offense and defense and began to pull away until the end of the game.

At 92:101, the game ended. The Warriors defeated the visiting Timberwolves at home. Yang Shuai scored 31 points and 11 assists, but only had 8 rebounds and failed to get a triple-double.

Compared with the game against the Timberwolves, the Warriors' victory over the Sacramento Kings was relatively easy. After the game started, the two teams had a brief stalemate, but in the second half of the first quarter, the Warriors took the lead.

In the next game, the Kings repeatedly tried to take the lead, but failed. 90:104, the Warriors finally defeated their opponents with a 14-point advantage.

27 points, 10 assists and 15 rebounds, these are Yang Shuai's statistics in this game. By this time, Yang Shuai's triple-double no longer aroused people's heated discussion, perhaps everyone has become accustomed to it.

After ending the Kings game, the Warriors also ended all games in November. After three games in October and fourteen games in November, the Warriors experienced a total of 17 games and achieved a record of 15 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.

First.

Yang Shuai has also averaged 35.2 points, 11.6 assists and 11.4 rebounds per game in the past month. Such data and the team's performance are enough for him to win the title of Western Conference Player of the Month.

November is over and December is about to begin. Although the December schedule is slightly easier than November, due to the impact of injuries, the situation is not too optimistic for the Warriors.
