On January 1, the Warriors sat at home and defeated the visiting Clippers without any blood, ushering in the team's first victory in 2010.

The Warriors played very easily in this game, once again proving that the "elevator door" tactic is indeed a forbidden technique.

As soon as such a new tactic came out, other teams could not find a strategy to deal with it in a short period of time, so the effect was very good.

Originally, the Clippers didn't pay attention to the Warriors' weird tactics, and had the mentality that even if you shoot yourself to death, I will accept it.

But when Curry and Ellis took turns bombing from outside the three-point line, the Clippers players began to panic.

They suddenly understood a truth: three-pointers can really kill the game!

As a result, the Clippers began to expand their defense and targeted the Warriors' three-pointers.

The Warriors had already anticipated the Clippers' temporary change in defensive strategy and immediately activated backup tactics.

Using the "elevator door" tactic to empty the Clippers' penalty area, Sun Yi, Maggette and others took turns cutting into the basket to attack the basket.

The Clippers' two inside players move relatively slowly, and it is difficult to rush back to defend after being taken out of the penalty area.

As for the other Clippers players who rushed back to deliver food to Sun Yi and Maggette, the difference in height and weight was too big to prevent them at all.

After the score was widened, the Clippers players simply gave up the game and had no energy to catch up with the score difference.

Anyway, their goal this season is to be in a bad situation, so they can just do whatever they want, which is a typical example of working hard but not putting forth any effort.

The Warriors players were happy to see the result and did not embarrass the Clippers, maintaining a more than ten-point lead.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 124-106, winning two consecutive games.

In terms of statistics, 5 Warriors players scored in double figures.

Sun Yi had a triple-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

Curry made 4 of 9 three-pointers and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

Ellis scored a team-high 25 points, plus 2 assists and 2 steals.

Maggette had 12 points and 4 rebounds; Randolph had a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

For the Clippers, the most outstanding player is Eric Gordon.

In the 36 minutes he played, he scored 28 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

New Year and new atmosphere. After the Warriors defeated the Clippers, their record ranking returned to eighth in the Western Conference. The players were in a very good mood and their morale was extremely high.

On January 3, the Warriors faced the visiting Celtics at home.

Paul Pierce rested in this game, and the Celtics' strength was greatly reduced.

But the Celtics are the championship favorites after all. Even if Pierce is absent, the overall strength of the team is still higher than that of the Warriors.

What is unexpected is that after missing Uncle Pi, the Wolf King who played health basketball this season suddenly became frustrated.

Garnett was very concerned about Sun Yi's remarks in previous interviews with media reporters.

In his mind, he feels that he is the number one power forward in history.

Therefore, in this game, Garnett must use his own strength to make Sun Yi, a rookie, change his perspective.

After the game started, Garnett's desire to attack was very high, showing comprehensive offensive skills and catching Sun Yi off guard.

Sun Yi was a little confused. He didn't know what kind of medicine Garnett took wrongly. He played very actively on both offense and defense.

After adapting to the Wolf King's attack, Sun Yi turned the situation around and gradually gained the upper hand.

After all, Garnett is 33 years old and no longer as brave as he once was.

The Warriors took the opportunity to narrow the point difference. They first used run-and-gun tactics to speed up the offensive rhythm and consume the opponent's energy. Then they used "elevator door" tactics to open up outside attacks and allow the opponent to change their defensive strategies.

At the beginning, the Warriors used the "elevator door" tactic, which made the Celtics a little confused and couldn't find a way to limit it.

After some observation, they made a series of targeted defenses.

But the Warriors had too many tactics to play, so they immediately changed their offensive tactics and once again took the initiative on the court.

Seeing that the Celtics were about to lose their game, Ray Allen stepped forward and hit consecutive three-pointers to narrow the point difference.

But the Warriors have already boosted their morale, and players always step up to score at critical moments, suppressing the Celtics' counterattack.

Garnett felt a little depressed when he saw the situation on the court.

His purpose of teaching Sun Yi a lesson was not achieved, and he found that the rookie had brushed up the data without knowing it. He could not completely restrict it, so he could only find other opportunities to make the rookie change his mind.

In subsequent games, Ray Allen's shooting percentage dropped and he was unable to continue his offensive firepower.

Garnett was restrained by Sun Yi and could not score easily.

Rondo had no shooting ability and was targeted and defended, constantly hitting the ball on the outside.

After the Celtics' Big Three were unable to score, the team's offense was paralyzed.

The Warriors took the opportunity to speed up the offensive rhythm, score frequently in the chaos, and hit a wave of offensive climax, completely widening the point difference and sealing the victory.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Celtics 102-89, winning their third consecutive victory.

In terms of statistics, 4 players from the Warriors scored in double figures.

In the 40 minutes he played, Sun Yi scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 blocks.

Under Garnett's strict defense, Sun Yi's score dropped slightly. He was able to reach double figures because he took advantage of the Wolf King's reduced physical strength to steal a few points. Otherwise, his score would have reached a career low.

Curry scored 17 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

Under Rondo's defense, it was difficult for him to get a chance. He could only rely on the "elevator door" tactic to score a few three-pointers and improve his personal statistics.

Ellis, a small public player, won the honor of the best player of the game.

In the 42 minutes he played, he made 4 of 8 three-pointers and scored 28 points, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Morrow scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

After the "elevator door" tactic was implemented, the Warriors' perimeter players benefited greatly. They got very good shooting opportunities. As long as they grasped them, scoring in double figures would not be a problem.

For the Celtics, the most outstanding player is Garnett.

In the 38 minutes he played, he scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.

Ray Allen scored a team-high 21 points and added 3 assists.

Rondo was targeted by the Warriors and his shooting percentage was extremely poor. He only scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

After this game, the Warriors will embark on a road trip again.

…

…

As the games started in January, various teams in the league suffered from injuries one after another, which greatly affected the team's record.

The Warriors have a relatively easy schedule in January, and most of the players are young and there are few injuries.

At the same time, Biedrins, who was injured in the preseason, returned from injury.

This is good news for the Warriors.

After Biedrins returned, Nelson did not let the guy return to the starting lineup. Instead, he started as a substitute to find his form.

Nelson didn't want Biedrins to ruin the chemistry the Warriors had finally established when he returned.

Biedrins had no complaints about the arrangement.

While recuperating from his injury, Biedrins finally understood that he was dispensable to the Warriors.

If he doesn't work hard to show his value, he is likely to be kicked out by the Warriors.

Therefore, after Biedrins came back, he completely changed his mind and trained hard to return to his peak condition.

Just when the Warriors were flourishing and seemed to have hope for the future, the "Gungate" incident that shocked the United States was finally reported by media reporters with all-pervasive media coverage.

Based on the revelations made by a certain Wizards player, the whole process of the incident was restored.

The trigger of the incident occurred before Christmas. In order to help McGee, Arenas had a verbal conflict with Crittenton. Both parties threatened to bring guns to the locker room to solve the problem.

At first, no one on the Wizards took the farce seriously, thinking it was just a joke between the two parties to vent their grievances.

Unexpectedly, Arenas and Crittenton completed their "agreement" in the Wizards locker room two days later.

Arenas stood in front of his locker, where four firearms were displayed.

Crittenton stood in front of his locker, with his back to Arenas.

"Hey, rookie, come here and choose one."

Arenas pointed the gun and said excitedly to Crittenton: "I will use one of these to fuck you!"

"Oh, no, I don't need one of those guns to hit me because I like to use my own gun."

Crittenton was not afraid at all. After speaking, he took out his gun from his locker, loaded it in front of everyone on the Wizards, and then pointed it at Arenas.

Arenas panicked immediately. He just wanted to scare Crittenton, but he didn't expect that this stupid young man would actually take it seriously.

The Wizards players who had been booing before saw what was going on. No one thought it was a joke and rushed out of the locker room.

After Wizards head coach Flip Saunders learned of the incident, he secretly thought that something was wrong.
