After entering February, due to the intensive schedule this season, various teams began to suffer injuries one after another.

The worst team among them is undoubtedly the Knicks.

They had just won back Chris Paul, who had returned from injury, when the team's second-in-command Stoudemire suffered an injury and would be out for more than a month.

This is not the point. The point is that other role players on the Knicks have also suffered injuries one after another, leaving only seven players who can play, nicknamed the "Seven Jedi" by fans.

The main reasons for the Knicks' tragedy are:

1. The intensive schedule of the shortened season prevents players from getting sufficient rest time.

2. Knicks head coach D'Antoni likes to adopt a seven-man rotation. Players who play for too long can easily become sick from overwork.

With negative examples, there are naturally positive teaching materials.

Among the thirty teams in the league, the Warriors do the best job in terms of injury control.

Since the start of the game, the Warriors players have basically not suffered serious injuries, and at most they have been affected by minor injuries and ailments.

This is mainly because the Warriors' player rotation plan is very good.

They have too many people who can play, and most of them are young players. As long as they don't play hard, they are not prone to injuries.

When encountering back-to-back games, veteran players will be rested to give the players sufficient rest time.

The implementation of these measures not only allowed the Warriors to achieve an unparalleled record, but also reduced the injury rate to a minimum, making them a sure winner.

With the Knicks' lessons learned and the Warriors' example, other teams learned from the experience and immediately made reasonable player rotation plans and rest plans.

【In view of the general environment,

Some teams even sacrifice their team record to give their players more rest time.

They all understand one truth: in this shortened season, the biggest winner is the one who remains!

…

As the schedule becomes more intensive, each team begins to rest its main players to recuperate and prepare for the playoffs.

The Warriors, ranked first in the league, also encountered trouble.

In the next game, they will encounter a devilish schedule of 5 games in 6 days.

This is an opportunity for the Warriors, but it is also a challenge.

Outside experts and media have predicted that the Warriors' winning streak will be ended during this period. After all, it is too difficult.

The TNT TV station understands traffic, and has specially developed a talk show to build on the popularity of the Warriors' winning streak.

In the program hall, O'Neal, Barkley and others discussed the hottest topics recently.

"The hottest topic during this period is undoubtedly the Warriors' winning streak. Fans are very concerned about whether the Warriors can continue their winning streak.

Charles, what do you think about this issue?" O'Neal raised the topic.

"I am an avid Warriors fan, so I naturally firmly believe that they will continue their winning streak, but my rationality tells me that this will be very difficult, because the Warriors will face an extremely cruel schedule next, and I hope they can survive it safely." Barkley answered worriedly.

road.

Kenny Smith on the sidelines added: "The Warriors will face a devilish schedule of five games in six days, and most of their opponents are playoff teams, so the possibility of overturning is very high."

"I very much hope that the Warriors can continue their winning streak. I think this is also the sentiment of most fans." O'Neal expressed his opinion.

"It's useless to say anything now. Everything will be left to time, and they will give results." Buckley is very open-minded and lets everything take its course.

"Then let's wait and see!" Kenny Smith concluded.

As this program aired, it immediately aroused heated discussions among fans, and the effect was explosive.

Warriors fan: "I believe Sun Shen can lead the Warriors to overcome many difficulties, just because he can do anything!"

Digital Man fans: "The Digital Man team will step on the Warriors

This is a stepping stone back to its former glory!”

Mavericks fans: "You should just go to bed! Why don't you let us pick up the leaks?!"

Fans of other teams: "Do you think we don't exist?!"

…

As the popularity continues to increase, the Warriors have inadvertently become a big boss, waiting for every team to challenge them.

The Warriors, who were surrounded by rumors, were not affected by the outside world. At this time, they had already boarded a special plane flying to Memphis...

…

On February 7, the Warriors visited Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies.

At this stage, the Grizzlies have a record of 15 wins and 9 losses, temporarily ranking seventh in the Western Conference.

During the offseason, the Grizzlies did not make any reinforcements and still maintained the original team from last season.

It's not that they don't want to strengthen, but that the team owner is too stingy and reluctant to spend money.

This can't be entirely blamed on the boss. After all, Memphis is a small ball market and money is really hard to make.

Although the Grizzlies have not made reinforcements, their strength has not diminished but increased.

Just because the young players in the team have grown up rapidly, the overall strength of the Grizzlies has improved.

But this strength is not enough to compete for the championship.

Therefore, the Grizzlies' goal this season is very simple. They just need to enter the playoffs and collect tickets to recoup their money.

But in tonight's high-profile conflict, the Grizzlies changed their nature and went all out to win.

The Warriors will definitely not be willing to become a stepping stone for the Grizzlies to rise to the top and will defend their honor to the death.

…

After a series of pre-game activities, the game officially started.

As soon as it started, the Warriors set the tone of the game, speeding up the offensive pace even if they wasted energy.

During this period, Gasol had not yet lost weight, so he was dragged back and forth by the Warriors, which was very frustrating.

Moreover, under the Warriors' run-and-gun tactics, Gasol, the gatekeeper in the penalty area, cannot play its due role.

Another Grizzlies insider, Randolph, is also not feeling well. He failed to control his weight during the offseason, which resulted in his ups and downs in the new season and his physical fitness is not as good as before.

After being repeatedly missed by the Warriors, Randolph had physical problems, which affected both the Grizzlies' offense and defense.

After the Grizzlies lost defense inside, they also had problems on the outside.

The aging Kidd was unable to keep up with Curry's speed, causing the Grizzlies' perimeter defense to frequently fail.

The team's leading scorer, Gai Yin, was restricted by Sun Yi and found it difficult to catch the ball, let alone shoot.

Amid internal and external troubles, it was only a matter of time before the entire Grizzlies team collapsed.

This process didn't take long. The Warriors seized the fleeting opportunity and bombarded the perimeter indiscriminately, completely destroying the Grizzlies' defense.

Although fans guessed that the Warriors would win, they did not expect that the process would be like this.

They thought this game would be extremely intense and exciting, but they didn't expect the Grizzlies to be so incompetent.

Grizzlies: It’s not that they are useless, it’s just that their opponents are too strong!

In this way, after three quarters, the Warriors gained a 25-point lead and were basically assured of victory.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Sun Yi and other main players failed to get a chance to play, because Klai and others were too good, which further widened the point difference.
