The third quarter lasted for more than 5 minutes, and the score difference reached 38 points!
Zen Master waved his flag and replaced the starter.
That's it for this game.
The main players of the Lakers are not young anymore, so there is no point in holding on.
The Warriors also replaced Curry and others.
The game entered garbage time early.
Both teams put on substitutes, and the game was played very quickly.
In the end, the score was fixed at 122:98!
The Warriors won by 24 points.
This is the third meeting between the Lakers and Warriors this season.
The Warriors won all three times.
Curry maintained his hot touch during the All-Star Game, making 8 of 13 three-pointers and scoring 36 points, 7 assists, and 7 rebounds.
It can be seen that Curry is very motivated to fight against the defending champion.
Even if he won the first two games, Curry didn't slack off at all.
The same goes for teammates.
The Lakers and Warriors are both in the Western Conference and belong to the Pacific Division, so they play against each other 4 times a season!
To advance to the finals, defending the championship is a hurdle that must be overcome.
Although they lost the game, the Lakers didn't take it seriously.
We are the defending champions, so what can you, a newly emerging team, do, no matter how good it is?
The true colors will be revealed in the playoffs!
Besides, we are missing a Kobe!
Only the Zen Master had a hint of unnoticeable worry in his eyes.
Laojianghu is different. Zen Master knows in his heart that losing is not just the reason for Kobe's absence.
Although the Warriors have risen quickly, they don't seem to be just lucky.
Curry and Deng Fang, these two people are difficult to deal with!
Taken alone, both of them are powerful enemies, but together, these two people are really a headache.
The Lakers' road to defending their title this year will be somewhat difficult.
Before, the Zen master was very confident.
The Celtics' veterans have aged another year, the Magic are not a concern, and the Cavaliers are no match.
The West seems to have many strong teams, but the Suns, Spurs, and Mavericks each have their own problems.
In short, the Lakers have a reasonable lineup, strong strength, and rich experience, and have great hope of defending their title.
Who would have thought that the Warriors would appear out of nowhere and stand in front of the Lakers!
The Zen master shook his head and walked back to the dressing room.
There's no point worrying, let alone being afraid.
Just take it one step at a time...
…
Winning the Lakers system gave Deng Fang 4 ability points.
Including the 8 ability points obtained in the All-Star Game, Deng Fang now has a total of 42 ability points.
Deng Fang made a lot of promises at the All-Star Game, but those players will not all meet the Warriors in the playoffs, and even if they do, they may not be injured, so the system does not deduct points.
I'll tell you when I use it.
Behind the Lakers are the Kings and Jazz, both home to the Warriors.
The Kings are a bad team, and everything is done just to let Evans rack up statistics!
But after Curry was born, it didn't make sense for the Kings to do this.
No matter how much data Evans adds, he can't compare to Curry!
As for the Jazz, they are quite strong.
But it's still a lot worse than the Warriors.
Although the main players of the Warriors did not rest for long and had some physical problems, they still won these two games with their strong strength.
The records of the Warriors and Lakers are also getting better and better.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, it doesn't seem like there will be a big problem for the Warriors to finish first in the Western Conference.
And Deng Fang’s existence makes accidents almost impossible to happen!
What's wrong with a basketball game?
Most of them are injuries!
What Deng Fang is least afraid of is injuries.
…
Shortly after the game against the Jazz, the league's trade door officially closed.
This year's trade deadline is February 19th. During this period before and after the All-Star Weekend, several big trades took place in the league.
First of all, the most important one is that the Cavaliers traded Jamison.
On the evening of February 17, the Cleveland Cavaliers reached an agreement with the Washington Wizards and Los Angeles Clippers and agreed to a deal involving six players.
In this deal, the Cavaliers will acquire center Zdrunas Ilgauskas, a future first-round draft pick, and 2009 second-round pick small forward Emil Pledjic.
The right is sent to the Wizards.
As a third party, the Clippers will send small forward Al Thornton to the Wizards and point guard Sebastian Telfair to the Cavaliers.
As for the Wizards, in addition to sending Jamison to the Cavaliers, they also need to send power forward Drew Gooden, who was just traded from the Dallas Mavericks, to the Clippers.
Previously, the Cavaliers had been negotiating with the Phoenix Suns in the hope of getting Stoudemire. However, since the Suns have not given a reply on whether the chips provided by the Cavaliers are up to standard, the Cavaliers decided to quickly trade with the Wizards to avoid the trade deadline.
At this time, it's like a chicken and an egg.
The Cavaliers' management still has a strong sense of crisis.
James has great ambitions. If the team cannot strengthen, then it will be a question whether James can stay with the Cavaliers next season.
In fact, the Cavaliers have always hoped to get a power forward who can take care of shooting and rebounding. They pursued Jamison last season, but the price they offered did not satisfy the Wizards.
This season, because the Wizards were forced to start rebuilding ahead of schedule due to Gilbert Arenas' "Gun Gate", the Cavaliers took the opportunity to pay a relatively low price and successfully acquired Jamison.
Jamison has comprehensive offensive skills and is a space-based fourth position, which is very suitable to partner with James.
Such a person is also James' favorite teammate.
This deal also made the Cavaliers rated as the team that is best at giving away free money.
Putting aside salary factors, compared to the same period last season, today's Cavaliers only lack supporting players such as Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic, but have added Shaquille O'Neal and Antoine Jaa.
A ruthless character like Mison.
They used their actions to illustrate what "living in the moment" means - even if they face the danger of being locked up in salary, no one can deny that the Guards has transformed into the most well-equipped team in the alliance.
The current Cavaliers have various types of players, who are enough to cope with various situations. They also have the best player in the league, and their strength is very terrifying.
Of course, Cavaliers owner Gilbert also spent a lot of money on this.
It's not easy to satisfy the number one player in the league!
As long as James wants the players, he has to buy them!
As long as James wants to do something, he must be satisfied!
What if James runs away?
Who will deal with the mess left behind?
Gilbert worries about these issues, too.
But he could only recite silently in his heart:
this……
This is impossible!
James said he won't leave!
He is a Cleveland hero!
He will not abandon us!
Besides, I've done everything I can!
There is nothing I can do if James insists on leaving!
It doesn't matter how much you spend, just get whoever you want for James. What do you think of me?
Bring Kobe and Curry over?
Trade Paul and Rose?
I want, too!
But I can’t do it!
Do you think other team general managers are fools?
