Chapter 633: Chandler is back!

71:80, at the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still maintained a 9-point advantage.

Thibodeau on the sidelines was very dissatisfied. He scored 30 points in the first quarter and 28 points in the third quarter. The Bulls were good at defense, but they allowed the Warriors to score 80 points in the first three quarters.

Thibodeau knows that the key to defending the Warriors is to limit Shuai Yang, but he used various methods in the first three quarters but it didn't seem to affect Shuai Yang. He scored when he should score and assisted when he should. Yang Shuai's performance seemed completely unaffected by the Bulls.

The impact cannot be limited even with double teams.

Tom Thibodeau wanted to use more people to double-team, but Yang Shuai's passing gave him a huge headache. Yang Shuai's passing was too sharp, sharper than most point guards' passing.

Holding a 9-point advantage, the Warriors did not have many opportunities for the Bulls after entering the fourth quarter. Although the Bulls worked harder on the defensive end in the fourth quarter and indeed limited the Warriors to only 23 points, the Bulls themselves did not

The lack of strong attack power allowed the score to stay at 97:103.

Defeating the Bulls with a 6-point advantage, the Warriors' performance finally reassured the fans, and also made their depression disappear after the Warriors' previous losses to the Celtics and Heat.

After winning against the Bulls, the Warriors faced two weaker opponents, the Kings and Clippers in the same conference.

The battle for ranking in the Western Conference has become intense. With only the last month of the regular season left, all the teams in the Western Conference are trying their best to shake off the pursuers and also hope to catch up with the top-ranked teams.

It may be a little more difficult for the Warriors to catch up with the Spurs, but they are still competitive with the Lakers, and the Mavericks behind them are also chasing after them, so even when facing such a weak team, the Warriors do not dare to be careless.

The Kings have determined that they will definitely have no chance of making the playoffs, but they played very hard in this game, especially Ellis, who was traded to the Kings from the Warriors, played extremely actively.

Ellis scored 32 points in the game, but he couldn't bring much damage to the Warriors on the outside. No one in the entire league dared to underestimate the Warriors' outside. Yang Shuai didn't mention it, but Evans alone

This game created a lot of trouble for the king.

At the end of the game, Evans made 13 of 17 shots and scored 34 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds, which made Kings fans extremely sad.

Evans' data may make people feel more normal when placed on Yang Shuai, but Yang Shuai's data in this game will not be bad. A near triple-double of 31 points, 9 assists and 11 rebounds still continues his good performance.

Performance.

What really brought some damage to the Warriors was the Kings' rookie center DeMarcus Cousins. In this game, the rookie center scored 29 points and 16 rebounds. Jamison and Frye both scored for him.

A foul was committed on him, which caused some chaos in the Warriors' rotation.

100:95. Although the game went beyond the expectations of Warriors fans and the Kings did bring some trouble to the Warriors, the final result was what Warriors fans wanted. With a 5-point advantage, the Warriors won the game.

The final victory of the game.

After playing the Kings away from home, the Warriors returned to their home court to face the Los Angeles Clippers, who are also a weak team. Like the Kings, the Clippers are also very far away from the playoffs. However, unlike the Kings, this game was only played by the Clippers in the first half.

No, I have surrendered.

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 42:65. The Warriors established a 23-point advantage in just halftime. This also caused Yang Shuai to sit on the sidelines to rest after only playing 7 minutes in the second half.

At the end of the game, the score was finally fixed at 90:112. Even though the Warriors spent most of the second half on the bench and the Clippers lost their fighting spirit, they could not narrow the point difference.

The game was against the Los Angeles Clippers, but Yang Shuai's mind was already focused on the next game, because the next game was against the same Los Angeles team, the Lakers.

The two teams have to play against each other four times this season, and have already played against each other twice. The two teams met in the opening game of the new season, and the Warriors finally won. In the subsequent game, Chandler and Jackson were injured one after another.

Lost to the Lakers on the road.

This is the third meeting between the two teams this season. The last time they met was in April, the second game before the end of the season.

Yang Shuai once again came to the Staples Arena in Los Angeles. This time he obviously will not be as popular as during the All-Star Weekend. He was greeted with boos as soon as he showed up at the arena. For such boos

Yang Shuai has long been used to it, so he can still say hello to Kobe with a calm expression.

There was news that Chandler would return in the game against the Lakers, but in the end Nelson followed the team doctor's advice and asked Chandler to postpone his return for two games, so the Warriors' starting center was Frye.

Frye did not hit Bynum on the jump ball, and the first offensive right fell to the Lakers. Bynum seemed to be pushing the envelope, and after halftime, he once again fell inside to block Frye's position.

Frye really couldn't hold Bynum off. When Fisher's pass arrived, Bynum hit the ball directly inside.

The Lakers certainly know where the Warriors' weaknesses are. Without Chandler, the Warriors' interior has always been a big problem, and the Lakers' interior has a huge advantage. So after the game started, they frequently scored the ball inside.

And this did bring good results, both Bynum and Gasol scored consecutively.

The Warriors' perimeter began to shrink and participate in the interior defense. This gave several Lakers perimeter players opportunities, and Gasol also mentioned that the mid-range caused huge trouble to the Warriors' defense.

After finding it difficult to restrict the Lakers on the defensive end, Warriors players began to focus more on the offensive end, with the Lakers playing inside and the Warriors playing outside.

At 27:27, the two teams were tied after the first quarter. Although the Warriors' shooting percentage was not as good as that of the Lakers, their three-pointers made up for it. In the second quarter, Yang Shuai and Kobe staged a scoring battle, both scoring 16 points at the same time.

With Hinrich's buzzer-beating three-pointer from Yang Shuai before the end of the first half, the Warriors finally led their opponents by 2 points at 55:53.

After the start of the second half, the Lakers' offense still maintained good offensive firepower from the inside, but at this time, the Warriors' shooting touch began to decline.

After the shooting touch of Hinrich, Jamison and Evans declined one after another, Yang Shuai had to step up and score points for the team. However, at this time, because of the poor touch of his teammates, the Lakers' defense against Yang Shuai was more targeted. Yang Shuai

It wasn't as efficient as the second quarter.

The Warriors only scored 21 points in the third quarter, which put them 6 points behind the Lakers 76:82 after three quarters.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Anthony Morrow's two consecutive three-pointers allowed the Warriors to close to 4 points. However, this performance was short-lived, and the Warriors' offensive success rate was still not high.

It wasn't until halfway through the fourth quarter that the Warriors regained their sense of offense, but at this time the point difference between the two teams had widened to 11 points. Yang Shuai, Collison, and Frye successively made contributions from beyond the three-point range, but

All they could do was narrow the score difference between the two teams. The Lakers' stable offense prevented the Warriors from completing the reversal in the end.

The leaders of both teams performed well in this game. Yang Shuai scored 42 points, 8 assists and 12 rebounds, while Kobe scored 39 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds. However, Kobe’s teammates obviously performed better than Yang Shuai’s teammates.

Be even more outstanding.

The highest scorer on the Warriors side besides Yang Shuai was Evans, who scored 23 points. No other Warriors player scored more than 15 points.

As for the Lakers, in addition to Kobe Bryant who scored 39 points, there were three other people who scored more than 20 points, and these three were all inside players.

Andrew Bynum made 9 of 13 shots and 3 of 5 free throws, scoring 21 points and 14 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds; Pau Gasol made 8 of 14 shots and 8 of 9 free throws, scoring 24 points.

11 rebounds, including 7 offensive rebounds; Lamar Odom, who came off the bench, scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds.

The Lakers' three big men scored a total of 65 points and 35 rebounds, while the Warriors only got 37 rebounds. If the Warriors had not been supported by three-pointers, they would not have lost by only 5 points at 110:115.

Warriors fans had expected the Warriors to lose consecutively against strong teams this month, but losing to the Lakers again still made Warriors fans feel very unhappy. Whether it was a loss to the Celtics, Heat or Lakers, they all had a problem.

The common point is that the team's backcourt rebound protection is not good.

Being grabbed offensive rebounds by the opponent means that the opponent has more offensive opportunities. Even if the Warriors' three-pointers are good, even if Yang Shuai scores high points, it is still very difficult for the team to win.

Because of this, fans are particularly looking forward to Tyson Chandler's comeback. In fact, it is not just the fans who are looking forward to it. The Warriors, players and coaching staff are also looking forward to it.

In an away game against the Timberwolves, Chandler finally appeared on the twelve-man roster, but did not play in the entire game. In the end, after Yang Shuai once again scored a triple-double of 37 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds, the Warriors finally finished with 106

:98 defeated the opponent.

The Warriors' next game is an away game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is a key battle. The good news for the Warriors is that Chandler is finally coming back!

After receiving the news that Chandler was coming back, Warriors fans were full of expectations for the next game. The result did not disappoint the fans' expectations. Chandler's first game back brought victory to the Warriors.

96:91, with a 5-point advantage, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks on the road. Yang Shuai once again scored a triple-double with 30 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. Chandler did not disappoint after his comeback, winning the entire game.

A double-double of 10 points and 15 rebounds.

After welcoming back Chandler, although the team is missing Jackson, Yang Shuai is still full of confidence in the upcoming playoffs. With Chandler's rebounding and defense, he has improved from last season.

Together with Evans, Collison, Morrow and others, the Warriors are no worse than when they won the championship last season.
