Since late November, the Warriors' schedule has never seemed easy. Next, the Warriors have to face a difficult schedule (read the full text of Kuai Dao Zhan). First, they will play the Nuggets away from home, then they will play the Magic at home, and
After playing these two games, they need to go on a five-game road trip in the Eastern Conference.
The Warriors' current record is 11 wins and 11 losses, and they have dropped to tenth in the Eastern Conference. If they lose too many games in this period, it will be difficult to maintain the tenth position, let alone hit the top eight.
.
The away game against the Nuggets was not easy. After acquiring Billups in the trade, their strength seemed to have improved. In the previous six games, they had won five of them.
Of course, Warriors fans still have hope. For example, they believe that their team is a team that is good at breaking the rules. Unfortunately, this time, they failed to break the rules. In the game against the Nuggets, Yang
Even though Shuai scored 20 points and Jackson scored 25 points, they still could not withstand the opponent's offensive and ultimately lost the game on the road with a 15-point gap.
There have been a lot of losses this season. It has only been two months and it has almost caught up with the Celtics' losses in the entire season last season. Yang Shuai also understands that there is indeed a huge gap in strength between the two teams.
Both the Warriors and themselves still need to improve.
Of course, Yang Shuai is not willing to lose when he loses. Last season, most of his improvement relied on space, and his usual training was mostly in shooting and defense. After coming to the Warriors, his training content also changed.
More, such as physical fitness, strength...
There are also pull-up jump shots. After understanding the benefits of pull-up jump shots, Yang Shuai also increased the training of pull-up jump shots in his daily training. In this way, although his pull-up jump shots have not reached the intermediate level, but
It is still higher than the beginner level.
There was not much to do in Oakland. Yang Shuai spent a lot of time in the training hall, training by himself and watching his teammates train (read the full text of Eavesdropping Eyes). For example, Biedlins, every time Biedlins finished shooting and other routines
After training, Yang Shuai would always stop him and teach the opponent to defend. At first it was just him and Biedrins, but now Landry has joined in. Landry's ability to help defend and defend pick-and-rolls is good.
But in terms of single defense, it is really average.
Hinrich and Jackson's defense is still good, so the two of them join less. Anthony Morrow will also train with Yang Shuai and the others, but Yang Shuai often rushes him to do strength training.
Perhaps because they were all shooting-oriented players when they first entered the league, Yang Shuai and Morrow had a very good relationship. Morrow, who participated in the draft but was not selected, was very interested in Yang Shuai's experience and even had a little admiration for him.
Come on, Yang Shuai, a player who has not participated in the draft, can now become a starter and average about 20 points per game. This is a very magical thing.
Therefore, Yang Shuai seduced Moreau like he seduced Biedrins, always instilling this thought into him intentionally or unintentionally, "Man, you must become stronger, and stronger."
Yang Shuai, Landry, Biedrins, and Morrow often get together in the training hall, and Hinrich often practices passing and shooting in fast breaks under the guidance of the assistant coach.
Generally speaking, although the Warriors' record is not good, because there are many young people, they still give people the impression that they are very hardworking. Of course, there are also discordant voices, such as Brandon Wright.
Since Landry became the starter, Wright has been a little emotional. Old Nelson once talked to him, but it seems that he still has not fully accepted this reality. After the team training, Wright almost never stays to join the team.
During practice, I don’t seem to communicate well with my teammates.
Regarding his performance, players like Jackson and Hinrich who have been in the league for a longer time may shake their heads, but for young players like Yang Shuai, they will not even pay attention to it. They are too busy with their own affairs.
, how can I have the leisure to care about other things.
"Andris, your blocking position is really bad. When you are blocking, you must ensure that you can move to any direction. Of course, you can choose to move closer to the baseline. Many inside players like to move to the baseline.
Turn around so they are less likely to be double-teamed (Read the full text of Martial Arts: Kung Fu Superstar).”
In the Warriors' training hall, Yang Shuai, Biedrins and Landry are training interior defense. Landry is mainly attacking, Biedlins is mainly defensive, and Yang Shuai is coaching from the side.
Landry's inside offensive skills are actually not very good. He is better at cutting into the basket and scoring, but now he can only be called him. The offensive skills of other players in the Warriors' inside are also very average.
"Andris, I think you should also become stronger. Look at those games of yours. You pushed away when someone hit you. Your strength is not even as good as Karl. You have already suffered in your previous career.
I have been injured several times, which has a lot to do with your physical resistance. If you can become stronger, you can avoid all this."
Regarding Biedrins' physical confrontation, Yang Shuai was quite speechless. He found that the Warriors seemed to have many players of this type. Biedrins, Randolph, and Wright all had excellent athletic talents, but their bodies
Neither of them have strong matchups. Biedrins is the better player among them, but he still has a big gap when facing powerful insiders.
Biedrins' rebounding and shot-blocking statistics look pretty good, but most of them rely on his impact, and his awareness and ability to block positions are not good. This is largely due to his lack of physical confrontation ability.
This is caused by poor performance when the internal line is blocked.
In the past two seasons, Biedrins has made great progress on the offensive end. For example, he has a certain success rate in turning around with the ball on the baseline, and his rebounding near the three-second zone is also okay. But on the defensive end, he has
It still relies on supplementary defense and assisting defense, and its real single defense ability is very weak.
Biedlins was a little dissatisfied with Yang Shuai's words. He shrugged and said: "Yang, if I gain weight and become stronger, my speed and rushing ability will decrease. I don't want to do that.
.”
Yang Shuai shook his head. It seems that changing Biedlins's point of view is not a simple matter. In fact, in his opinion, strength is very important for an inside player. Even a forward player has realized that increased strength has a great impact on himself.
The benefits, not to mention the more intense confrontation at the basket?
Originally, the next game should allow Biedrins to experience the importance of physical confrontation, because they faced the Orlando Magic (the latest chapter of Infinite Blood Evolution). Howard's jumping and rushing abilities are not as good as
Biedlins is worse, but his physical confrontation ability is not a little bit better than Biedlins, so his threat in the interior is far greater than Biedlins.
However, Biedrins will not have the chance to experience all this for the time being, because Howard missed the game against the Warriors due to a knee injury. In the last game without Howard, the Magic still defeated the Jazz. In this game, they also
I hope to win consecutive games, but at this time the Warriors players did not agree.
Without Howard in the paint, the Warriors' players know what they have to do, attacking the paint more and attacking the basket more. In the middle, Biedrins is the representative.
The jump ball defeated Magic's substitute center Gortat with an absolute advantage and won the ball for the Warriors. Immediately, Biedrins began to attack the inside. The Warriors' fast attack was fully reflected at this time. Biedrins rushed
When entering the paint, the Magic's defense was not completely ready. Seizing the opportunity, Hinrich directly threw the ball over and succeeded in an alley-oop dunk.
The absence of Howard not only made Biedrins more impactful on the offensive end, but also easier in rebounding. In the first quarter, he grabbed 5 rebounds, including 2 offensive boards.
As the Magic's first point of attack, Nelson was entangled by Hinrich. Although Hinrich seemed a little thin, his defensive ability was very good. And Turkoglu, who is the offensive brain of the team, unfortunately, Yang Shuai
Eyed him.
Generally speaking, although the Warriors' defense is not very good, they now have several players with good individual defensive abilities, so the Magic offense without Howard's control is not easy to play.
When it comes to offense, the Warriors follow one word: quick!
After nearly a month of specialized training, Hinrich's offensive speed has improved greatly, so the Warriors advanced quickly, shot quickly, and rushed for rebounds quickly.
Yang Shuai's outside shooting was not as hot as the last game, but this time he stepped up his breakthroughs. Neither Gortat nor Lewis' defense on the Magic's inside line was very good, which also gave Yang Shuai a chance to hit the basket.
Here comes more convenience (download the txt of Qihuo Tianxia).
20 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. These are Yang Shuai’s statistics in this game. In addition to him, the Warriors also had two other players who scored double-doubles. Biedrins scored 21 points and 20 rebounds, which made people watching the game on the court
Howard hated him so much. If he was on the court, it would be much more difficult for Biedrins to obtain such data.
Another double-double was Hinrich. He scored 13 points and 13 assists, which was also his new high in assists after coming to the Warriors. With the increasing use of pick-and-roll tactics and the arrival of Landry, Hinrich
Richie's assist numbers are also rising. After all, Landry's pick-and-roll effect is much higher than that of Turiaf and Wright. Whether it is direct shooting or attacking the basket, Landry is more confident than these two.
With three people achieving double-doubles, the Warriors did not let the victory slip away from their hands. 108:121, the Warriors won two consecutive victories at their home court.
The Warriors are very happy with the change in the team. After all, the new lineup with three unfamiliar faces in the starting lineup did not fail in the new season as expected by the outside world. They relied on their unstable performance to bring relative stability.
Warriors fans are already looking forward to the situation when the team's performance is more stable, not to mention that the team's other leading scorer, Monta Ellis, has not returned yet.
Of course, after Ellis comes back, Nelson may have to worry about the starting lineup. For the time being, this starting lineup is playing pretty well. But, is Ellis willing to accept the status of a substitute?
Let this headache be considered later. Now, the Warriors have to face another headache, five consecutive away games. Next, they need to go to the Eastern Conference again.
Their opponents in the five games were the Pacers, Hawks, Bobcats, Magic and Heat. Among them, the Pacers and Bobcats were relatively weak, while the Hawks, Magic and Heat were all strong contenders for the Eastern Conference playoffs.
This schedule once again tests the physical strength and energy of Warriors players.
For handsome guy Yang, high-level physical strength will be a big factor limiting him. As for whether this away trip will change, maybe!
