However, Lopez does not move very fast, and once he is pulled out, it will be difficult to return to the penalty area in time.
Soon, it was the Suns' offensive round again.
Nash again pick-and-rolled with Stoudemire, and Lopez and Azubuike still flanked Nash.
Nash shook his right hand, and the basketball passed through the gap between the two of them. After bouncing back, it just fell into Stoudemire's hands.
Stoudemire caught the ball and rushed to the basket.
That posture is definitely for dunking.
But there is only one Laga Bell in the Warriors penalty area!
Lagabell is 1.96 meters tall, Stoudemire is 2.08 meters tall and weighs more than 220 kilograms!
The two of them are not on the same level at all!
Stoudemire didn't take Lagabell seriously at all and jumped up immediately after collecting the ball.
Unexpectedly, Lagabell was not afraid of Stoudemire at all. He also jumped up and tried to block Stoudemire's dunk.
No matter who you are!
No matter what, don't act wild in front of me!
Not even former teammates!
Stoudemire's jumping is amazing.
Grabbing the basketball with his right hand, Stoudemire fell from the air and smashed it down with a tomahawk dunk.
However, no matter how high you jump, you will eventually fall.
Because the basket is so high.
And your goal is the basket.
Lagabell has a lot of defensive experience and a very strong style. He jumped up and stretched out his right hand to shoot the basketball.
Stoudemire jumped very high, but Lagabell's judgment was also very accurate.
Near the basket, Lagabell's right hand hit the basketball in Stoudemire's hand.
The basketball flew out all of a sudden.
However, once Stoudemire's body charges up, it is extremely powerful.
Although the basketball flew out, Lagabell and Stoudemire bumped into each other solidly.
Although Lagabell is not in bad shape, she is not good compared to Stoudemire.
It's like a lion and an elephant colliding together.
Lagabel fell directly from the air and fell to the ground with a "snap".
Stoudemire also felt uncomfortable, but after all, he was taller and heavier, and he usually fought against tall centers. Relatively speaking, the force of the impact was not too great. Although he also fell, he supported the ground with both hands.
Just roll it around a couple more times and you'll be fine.
Lagabel couldn't do it. He fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
The referee quickly stopped the game.
The Warriors doctor ran forward and lay on the ground to examine Lagabell.
Soon, a stretcher was brought up and Lagabell was carried out of the arena.
The team doctor came to Deng Fang and said softly: "Lagabel failed to stand firm when he landed, and his right knee twisted. It looks a bit serious. It is probably a torn ligament or a meniscus problem."
Deng Fang nodded, and the team doctor quickly left.
Why worry?
For fear of something happening, I gave the players two days off before the game, but something happened today.
The team is on a winning streak and the players are very excited.
Regardless of whether it is the offensive or defensive end, the actions will be more decisive and the range will be relatively large.
There's no way, it's just faith.
When facing a team with a winning streak, the opponent is often better prepared and will have greater defensive intensity.
If the team wants to maintain its winning streak, its intensity must keep up.
If this continues, there will always be times when it becomes unbearable.
You are a human being of flesh and blood after all!
Even if your physical condition is stronger than that of the average person, there is always an upper limit.
And as the number of winning streaks increases and your opponent's attention becomes stronger, there will always be times when you can't hold on.
It is for this reason that ten consecutive wins is considered a long winning streak in the NBA.
To achieve a long winning streak, you often need the right time, place, and people.
But no matter what, as the number of consecutive wins increases, the probability of injuries will also increase.
There is no way around it.
You can't lose on purpose just because of this!
Obviously, Lagabel's injury was due to this reason.
The team's performance was not good and the winning streak might be interrupted. He was a little anxious.
Although Lagabell is a bit generous, as long as he is not an opponent, this kind of character will always be of great benefit to the team.
A team always needs a player like this.
Curry, Prince, and Lopez are all too humble.
Although Azubuike is brave, he is still young after all.
So Lagaber's role in the team is very important.
Obviously, Lagabel's injury was not much lighter than Azubuike's last time.
Even if Deng Fang is here, a week's rest is necessary.
Otherwise it would be too noticeable.
Of course, the most important thing right now is this game.
Soon, the referee blew the whistle.
What Lagaabel did just now was a good shot. The collision between the two was normal physical contact and there was no foul.
There is no problem with this kind of penalty.
The game continues.
The Suns were not greatly affected.
Not so with the Warriors.
Lagaber's replacement was Belinelli.
Belinelli's offense is good, but his defense is a mess.
The Warriors were originally under a lot of pressure on the defensive end in this game, but now they are even more annoyed.
What's even more troublesome is that Curry still has no touch on the offensive end and can only rely on breakthroughs to draw fouls and free throws to score.
This kind of efficiency is very slow.
There was no other way. After playing for two minutes, Deng Fang had to call another timeout.
Replace Curry and replace with Livingston.
However, Livingston did not have a three-pointer, and the Warriors' offense was still difficult.
Soon, at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors trailed by 15 points at 21:36.
From the beginning of the second quarter, both teams were playing off the bench. The Warriors had the upper hand and the point difference narrowed a bit.
However, when the main force came on the court again, the Warriors were still restrained.
No way, Curry's three-point touch is still not online.
Curry is the soul of the Warriors. If he doesn't play, the Warriors' offense will be useless.
The Suns also discovered this situation. They shrank even smaller and guarded Curry's breakthrough more tightly.
The Warriors' offense becomes increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, the Suns' outside touch also cooled down, and the point difference did not widen.
At the end of the game, the Warriors trailed by 14 points at 43:57.
A. Smith in the commentary box sighed: "I think the Warriors are in trouble in this game."
Reggie Miller also nodded and said: "Well, it seems Curry's rookie wall is here."
A Smith agreed: "I think so."
After a rookie enters the NBA, he usually loses all form for a certain period of time, as if there is an invisible wall blocking his way forward. This is called the rookie wall.
The rookie wall is a must for most players, the difference is just sooner or later.
Curry has played so well in the past month or so that many people have forgotten that he is just a rookie!
Although Deng Fang established early on that the core of the team is Curry, he also designed a large number of off-ball and on-ball tactics for Curry, and gave Curry unlimited firing rights. This also made Curry repeatedly reverse the situation as soon as he came up.
His performance is amazing, but Curry is a rookie after all.
Moreover, Curry's physical condition is still a little worse than that of the jumping men in the NBA. He must put in more effort if he wants to truly adapt.
In addition, the Warriors' record during this period was quite good, the team's games were very intense, and Curry consumed a lot.
Therefore, the arrival of Curry's rookie wall is normal.
