I really play basketball

Chapter 211
After winning the Mavericks, the Warriors won ten consecutive victories.

Ten consecutive victories at the start of the game, this state is indeed extremely hot.

If we say that in the first few games of the season, the Warriors played a bit defensively.

Then after the follow-up adjustments, the Warriors will be much more normal.

In ten games, the Warriors averaged 101.7 points per game, ranking No. 13 in the league.

Old Nelson is already very satisfied with the upper-middle offense in the league.

Looking at defense again, in ten games, the Warriors averaged 83.7 points per game, ranking first in the league.

It is 88.5 points less than the 4.8 points of the second Cavaliers.

Even if the sample is too small, such an overall defense can already explain some problems.

"From offense first to defense first, the Warriors only took one summer."

Bill Simmons, who has jumped to ESPN to write a column, first expressed emotion, and then began a specific analysis.

"Ten consecutive victories at the start of the game, and the average opponent's points per game is the first in the league. Why is the Warriors' defense so good?"

Generally speaking--

Bill Simmons first listed the data performance of the three cores of the Warriors' defensive end.

林星，十场比赛场均26分9.8个篮板8.2个助攻3.1个抢断1.6个盖帽。

"With this set of statistics, Stamina ranks among the top [-] in the league in rebounds related to defense, top [-] in blocks, and tops in steals. You must know that he is just a point guard!"

Dennis Rodman, because the team played defensively, his scoring data dropped sharply compared to last season, but he also averaged 7.1 points and 16.4 rebounds per game.

"Dennis Rodman is the leader in the league's rebounding list. If you break it down, he is the first in offensive rebounds, and he is also the first in defensive rebounds."

Finally, it was Mourning, who averaged 17.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game.

When Lin Xing saw this set of data from Mourning, his first reaction was——

Why the hell am I being Zhanhua again?
上个赛季在黄蜂，莫宁场均21.3分9.9个篮板2.9个盖帽，那是差0.1个篮板和0.1个盖帽就20+10+3的顶级中锋。

When it comes to the Warriors and partner Lin Xing, the data has shrunk dramatically.

Isn't this Lin Xing's real hammer for abolishing the inside line?
In fact, Lin Xing really wasn't to blame for this matter.

Mourning scored less because the Warriors didn't have enough points.

Lin Xing took more than half of it, and the remaining half had to be redistributed by Madman, Mourning, and Mu Lin who came from the bench. When it was in Mourning's hands, there was not much left.

In addition, the Warriors focus on defense this season, the number of offensive rounds is very low, and the opportunities are much less than last season.

In the Hornets, Mourning is the core, and his status is comparable to that of Larry Johnson. Two people share a ball, and of course they score a lot.

As for rebounding, this is Mourning's own problem, and Gardman's problem.

Mourning's rebounding ability is not strong, and his height of 2 meters restricts his rebounding ability.

Looking at Mourning's career in his previous life, he averaged double rebounds per game for only four seasons in total.

Coupled with Rodman, a rebounding idiot, Mourning had to grab rebounds with his opponents and teammates at the same time.

Of course, the same is true for Lin Xing. Without the rebound mechanism, it is very difficult for him to break double in rebounds per game.

However, data is only a representation.

Bill Simmons is just using data to explain: Who is the Warriors' defense so outstanding because of.

Judging from the data, Lin Xing is undoubtedly the biggest contributor, and the fact is true——

"Except for the data, Star almost took over the task of the Warriors' peripheral defense and supplementary defense. You can always see him plugging the gaps in the Warriors' defense in time."

From the data point of view, Rodman has no effect other than rebounding.

But in fact--

"If you compare Starbucks to the first fire blockade of the Warriors' line of defense, then Rodman is the second."

To put it simply, Rodman's role is to follow Lin Xing and check for omissions.

This can be regarded as double insurance, and it is also the reason why the Warriors' defense can always maintain a high intensity.

Finally, there is Mourning's frame guard.

"As for Alonzo Mourning, he averaged 3.4 blocks per game and has turned the restricted area into a no-fly zone."

Therefore, the Warriors' line of defense, Lin Xing, Rodman, and Mourning, are indispensable.

Finally, Bill Simmons also analyzed the changes made by the Warriors from the beginning of the game to the changes in the last few games.

"In the first two games of the season, the Warriors played a lot like the Knicks and Spurs in the past few seasons. They always deliberately pressed time and kept the number of rounds very low."

"But in the last few games, they have changed. On the offensive end, they seem to have returned to last season and no longer deliberately press the time. The change brought about is that their scoring is getting higher and higher."

The Warriors scored a season-high 114 points in their home win over the Trail Blazers.

Going forward, in the seven games starting from the Hawks, the Warriors scored less than 100 points in only one game against the Mavericks.

However, in terms of restricting opponents from scoring, the Warriors have never pulled their hips.

In the ten games since the start of the new season, no team has scored more than 100 points in the hands of the Warriors.

The combination of these two data shows the abnormality of the Warriors now.

Investigating the root cause, although the center of gravity is shifted a little bit to the offensive side.

But the Warriors didn't sacrifice defense too much, what they did was just increase their speed.

Speed ​​up the pace of the game and increase the number of offensive rounds.

When it comes to the defensive end, how to defend or how to defend, the pressure that should be given will not be less.

"The offense is still excellent, the defense ranks first in the league, and at least the regular season in the new season will be dominated by this Warriors."

Bill Simmons is just one of the media reporters, experts, and ball critics who are raving about the Warriors, and they are even justified.

There are more experts who are unreasonable and unreasonable, and open their mouths to brag. These have a bit of flattery.

But the Warriors are not afraid, because Lin Xing is not.

Lin Xing didn't hesitate, because he knew that if he wanted to achieve the goal at the beginning of the season, he had to continue playing like this.

……

After ten consecutive victories, the Warriors continued their winning streak without stopping.

On November 11, the Warriors defeated the Magic away.

It was not easy to win this game, mainly because there were sharks on the opposite side.

Even Mourning had to stay away from sharks.

Rodman had to help Mourning to defend again and again, and the burden of assisting the perimeter was all on Lin Xing.

As a result, the vengeful Lin Xing helped the madman lock up Penny.

Nick Anderson and Dennis Scott opened fire, and a good defensive battle turned into a confrontational battle.

Lin Xing triggered his offensive muscle memory and scored consecutive points.

23 points in the half, 36 points at the end of the third quarter, and another 11 points in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

结果就是，林星狂轰乱炸的轰下了47分，外加7个篮板7个助攻4个抢断2个盖帽。

Lead the Warriors and take away a victory from Orlando.

After the game, Lin Xing had to communicate with the sharks.

The shark looked unhappy, and Lin Xing understood what was going on.

"Why, you look unhappy, isn't it because you lost?"

Although he understood, Lin Xing still asked more.

The shark was honest and shook his head: "Losing? Have I beat you in the past two seasons?"

This is too honest. In the past two seasons, the Magic have never won the Warriors.

It's also Lin Xing's fault. Every time he encounters magic and sees Penny, he is very excited.

Coupled with the shark-slashing tactics, the Magic's dual-core was overwhelmed by the Warriors, and they couldn't beat it no matter what.

"At least the few years I've been partnering with this guy, I don't want to beat you..."

Shark squinted his small eyes at Penny not far away, frustrated by his loss.

Lin Xing smiled, and immediately heard something unusual from the shark's words.

"According to what you said, you are leaving Magic?"

"If you don't leave, can you stay?"

Shark spread his hands, and compared with his previous life, his thoughts have also changed.

In his previous life, he still thought that Penny was a good buddy, and he wanted to stay with his magic partner Penny.

But now, with Lin Xing's comparison, Shark only thinks Penny is a hook.

In addition, the magic in this life is also unwilling to give him a super contract, so he won't leave?Do you want to keep getting angry?
"Where are you going?"

"Let's talk next summer..."

Shark actually wanted to say that he originally planned to try to join Lin Xing with the Warriors after his contract expired this season.

but now……

He looked at his back in the distance, although he was much shorter than himself, but he was very solid, and suddenly he felt a little sore.

"That's right, it's still unclear after all, just like me, after this season, I can get out of the contract."

As soon as he heard that Lin Xing would be out of the contract next summer, the Sharks' eyes suddenly lit up.

These days, there is no such thing as restricted or unrestricted when a rookie contract ends.

Lin Xing's rookie contract has expired, that is, it has really expired.

After that, he can go wherever he wants.

"How about we try to join forces?"

The shark, impatiently excited, made the proposal.

Lin Xing laughed, "Don't tease Shaq. In this league, is there any team that can provide two super-maximum salaries?"

In the 90s, the transfer of young All-Stars was very frequent. The reason is that the contracts during this period were very unstable.

Some quasi-All-Stars can get big contracts of over [-] million, like Uncle Huo after the end of this season.

Some super giants can only get a few million, such as Charles Barkley.

This is not just the player's own choice, but also the team's choice.

Teams in small markets like the Magic and the Nuggets have not yet adapted to the league's new salary era.

Even if they can afford a maximum salary of more than ten million yuan, they are not willing to give it.

Only teams in big cities like the Lakers and Knicks, or ambitious teams like the Bullets, are willing to give a big contract of over ten million.

But it's okay to give one copy. If it's two, most teams will have to weigh it.

"Let's see in summer, what if there is a team willing to give it?"

Lin Xing shook his head, not willing to break Shark's beautiful illusion at the moment.

summer?It's really summer, the Warriors won the championship, will Lin Xing leave?
As for the Warriors not giving Lin Xingchao a top salary of tens of millions of annual salary?no way!

In the past two years, because the country is not very open, the Warriors have not tasted much of the sweetness of the domestic market.

However, Lin Xing has won the All-Star votes for two consecutive years, and his popularity in North America is also top-notch.

The Warriors have already made a lot of money from Lin Xing's popularity and traffic.

Even with a top salary of over ten million?It's not a loss to the Warriors!
Even because of the existence of Lin Xing, the team owner Jim Fitzgerald, who was already planning to sell the team, changed his mind. He wants to keep the Warriors because the Warriors can make money now.

The Warriors can give an annual salary of over [-] million. Lin Xing is not for money, but mainly for status.

An annual salary of more than [-] million is equivalent to status. For the rest, the Warriors can still win the championship, and they are still close to home. Why doesn't he stay?
"You'd better wait for your Kobe, Shaq..."

……

After playing the Magic, the Warriors then went to Miami.

This is where the brothers fight.

In the new season, the Heat's performance is not bad, although the hard special still needs to grow.

But Xiao Chong and former All-Star center Kevin Willis still brought the Heat to the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

On the one hand, it is because the NBA has become a bit strong in the west and weak in the east these days. On the other hand, the head coach of the Heat is Pat Riley, and that is no joke.

In the previous life, Xiao Chong, Mourning and Riley were able to get 61 wins.

Although Mourning is missing now, there is also Kevin Willis and immature hard specials inside.

Don't ask for 61 wins, it's no problem to make it to the playoffs with 40 wins.

Under Riley, Xiao Chong also played the second spring of his career.

So far this season, he has averaged 20.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 10.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game.

The performance of 20+10, put this year, is also the performance of the league's top point guard.

I have to admit that Riley is Riley, and the Heat made a lot of money when Glenn Rice traded for Xiao Chong.

If Glenn Rice is still leading the Heat now, the playoffs will definitely not be considered.

Now it's replaced by Xiao Chong, and there will be a playoffs.

This hand operation is too bright.

But against the Warriors, this Heat is still not enough.

Lin Xing crushed all the outsiders of the Heat, including Xiao Chong.

On the inside, Mourning is also wreaking havoc.

To Riley's delight, although the immature hard special was suppressed by Mourning.

但15分8个篮板3个助攻2个抢断1个盖帽的表现，也不算差了。

"Alonzo owns the present, but KG owns the future!"

This is why Riley chose to give up Mourning and choose Hardt.

Although Mourning is at the peak and is very strong now, but in the future, Mourning will really not be as good as a hard special.

In a word-

If Mourning is the top card, his team will only be a first-line team, and there is still a little distance from the championship team.

If you put him in the championship team, he will only be the second in command, just like the current Warriors.

And hard special, in the future, he will definitely be the master of the championship team.

The premise is to match him with suitable teammates.

After the game, a group of conversations on the sidelines——

"Brother, didn't you say that Si Da is your younger brother? How did you get beaten up by him today?"

Playing foolishly, Xiao Chong blushed: "What do you know, this is called blue out of blue and better than blue!"

Then, he educated Harder in every way: "It's the same with you, KG, I hope you can also achieve that the blue comes from the blue and is better than the blue."

But Hardt nodded as a matter of course: "Don't worry, I will definitely."

Then he muttered in a low voice: "I dare not say that Chao Si is big, but Chao You is not simple?"
