NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

The entire Warriors team prepared for the battle with all their heart and mind, and entertainment activities stopped spontaneously.

Yue Yi doesn't have much entertainment at all. His spare time for a season is basically training.

This atmosphere of unity has affected every Warriors staff member. Even Penny slept peacefully at home during the past two nights, for fear of affecting Yue Yi's physical strength.

The track of the Suns' progress has not deviated much. Shaquille O'Neal joined the Suns in the middle of the season.

However, the aging Sharks and Suns have not established a good chemical reaction. Although the Suns' inside attack power has increased to a certain extent, their proud running and gunning power has dropped by a notch. After all, they have paid for the Sharks. The team has many good run-and-gun players.

This is good news for the Warriors.

Nelson's keynote for this game is to play fast and never give the Sharks a chance to play in the paint.

Warriors owner Adam Brothers also attended the game in person to supervise the team.

The Oracle Arena was full, and many fans who did not get tickets watched the game in front of the big screen in the square.

This is a game that is not inferior to the playoffs.

For the Warriors, it is also a life and death battle.

There was another piece of good news before the game. The seventh-ranked Dallasites lost a game and their record also reached 48 wins and 32 losses.

Due to their win advantage, they are still ranked seventh.

However, the Mavericks' loss has undoubtedly improved the chances of the Warriors and Nuggets entering the playoffs.

This game is not only a battle with the Suns, but also a competition between the Warriors and the Mavericks and Nuggets.

The DJ at the scene introduced the Warriors players so enthusiastically that his voice became hoarse.

When the Suns players were introduced, after each player's name was read out, the fans at the scene burst into deafening boos.

Golden State fans have always been fanatical.

Fans firmly believe that as long as the team enters the playoffs, they will create the same miracle as last year.

The game officially started. The aging Shark jumped the ball and beat Biedrins who was in his prime. The Suns won the ball.

The Suns chose to fall into position at the beginning. After passing from beyond the three-point line, Marion handed the ball to the Sharks.

The Warriors' interior defense is below the average level in the league. Biedrins has a certain ability to protect the frame, but he is often unable to cope with powerful centers.

The Suns also seized on this and started playing from the inside. They traded for O'Neal, and what they wanted was the shark's once overwhelming lethality.

O'Neal dribbled with his back, leaned in, and then leaned in again. Biedlins had a hard time defending.

After O'Neal reached the three-second zone, he turned around and made a small hook, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Kidd, who judged the placement of the basketball, got the rebound. Without any hesitation, he started instantly and ran to the frontcourt with the ball.

O'Neal did not score the ball, dragging his heavy body and followed the team back to defense.

If we go back to five years ago, O'Neal could eat Biedlins alive in the paint, even if there were two Biedlins standing under the basket.

Time makes people grow old. In addition to leaving behind weight, O'Neal's footsteps, body agility, jumping height and speed were all ruthlessly taken away.

And the excessive weight has become a burden on him at this moment, and he cannot keep up with the young Biedlins.

Kidd quickly released the ball after advancing. Biedrins caught the ball near the free throw line, made a layup in three steps, and dunked the ball directly into the basket.

Oracle Arena erupted into deafening cheers.

For the second ball, the Suns once again passed the ball to the old Shark. The Shark pushed Biedrins up and squeezed in step by step. After he squeezed deep enough, he turned around and wanted to get up and dunk, but Harrington, who was helping to defend him, was already there. Already made up for it, the Shark failed to get up, but caused Harrington's foul.

Free throws have been a headache for Shark throughout his career. The Shark-killing tactic was invented specifically for him, and the inventor is sitting on the Warriors' coaching bench.

The Shark made one of two free throws and passed the game.

The Warriors are not afraid of Shark playing in the paint at all. Shark cannot hit a few, and he is not good at free throws. Moreover, he will delay the Suns' offensive rhythm.

The sun that can't run is equivalent to destroying half of its martial arts.

In the more than six minutes that Shark was on the court, the Suns fell behind by 5 points, and Nash and Stoudemire couldn't hit the pick-and-roll.

The biggest headache is the head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni. The Sharks' historical status is here. If he is allowed to serve as a substitute, the Sharks can talk to D'Antoni to death, and the Sharks fans will not agree.

But although Shaq still has a little bit of gas left in him and is not too old to be beaten at all, his incompatibility with Nash and Stoudemire on the court can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Nash and Stoudemire cooperated, 1+1>2.

Nash, Stoudemire, O'Neal, 1+1+1<3.

This is a very failed experiment. The tragedy of the Suns is also the tragedy of the Sharks.

When he was still capable of fighting, he chose a team that was not suitable for him, which invisibly accelerated the decline of his great career.

After the Sharks came off the court, Nash and Stoudemire lost their suppressive power. They began to unleash their power of running and gunning. Stoudemire returned to the fifth position and played vigorously. Biedlins could not guard against him and Nash. Pick and roll.

But Stoudemire couldn't prevent the cooperation between Biedlins and Kidd.

Just like who doesn't have a master point guard by his side, I have one too.

The two exchanged blows in the paint.

The two teams played at a fast pace on the court, and an offensive round was often over within ten seconds.

Yue Yi's favorite opponent is a team with strong offense and weak defense. This type of team allows him to play like a fish in water on the court and maximize his own advantages.

At the end of the first half, Yue Yi made 6 of 7 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 14 points.

The Warriors also led the Suns by 3 points, 62:59, entering the second half.

In the Warriors locker room, Kidd had an ice pack on his right shoulder. His injury was not completely healed and it would hurt after he stopped.

Captain Jackson's knees were strapped with thick knee braces and both of his knees were also injured.

There are several players who are also injured. They need to be treated quickly during the halftime break.

After a season of fighting, the whole team suffered constant injuries, but fortunately they were not serious enough to be unable to play the game.

As long as the team doctor lets him play, no one cares about these injuries.

These Yue Yi all saw it.

Therefore, the Warriors have always been a team full of blood, tenacity, resilience, and a winning culture.

Unlike Kawhi Leonard in the league in the future, minor injuries should be treated as major injuries, and major injuries should be treated as serious injuries.

Yeah, why didn't Leonard stop playing and got injured again? Where did it hurt? Oh, broken nails.

With such players in the team, how can the team's spirit be good?
