On March 11, the Warriors welcomed the Trail Blazers at Oracle Arena.
The Trail Blazers played two games with the Warriors before, with a record of one win and one loss.
In the second game, Belinelli's three-pointer at the last moment ensured victory.
So the Trail Blazers team's morale is very high.
We are not afraid of the Warriors!
We are warrior nemesis!
What's more, the Warriors are at a low point now!
But Deng Fang didn’t want to lose anymore.
enough!
Curry and others are well rested!
Weak teams can lose, but strong teams can never lose!
Especially the strong teams in the Western Conference!
Especially at this time of the season!
If you lose to a weak team and the main force is missing, the morale of the players will not be affected.
Losing to a strong team, a team in the Western Conference, a potential opponent in the playoffs, that's not okay!
Oracle fans finally saw the familiar starting lineup again!
Curry, Azubuike, Laga Bell, Prince, Lopez!
Curry and Livingston both rested for ten days, and Lopez and others didn't play very long during this period. The five of them were full of energy, and everyone was gearing up and eager to try.
The Trail Blazers' five starters are Brandon Roy, Andre Miller, Batum, Aldridge and Camby.
Camby was acquired before the trade deadline.
The reason is that Oden was injured again.
Season reimbursement!
The NBA concept in this era is still very traditional, and it can’t be done without a center!
A power forward is a power forward and a center is a center!
Aldridge is a power forward with a midrange shot and average defense, so he can only play power forward.
To save the day, the Trail Blazers traded for Camby.
The Trail Blazers' lineup is also a twin tower, with Camby as the main defender and Aldridge as the main attacker.
The twin-tower lineup is better at defending the interior, and is suitable for sharpening the position and playing steadily.
But it won't work against a team like the Warriors that focuses on shooting and is very fast.
As soon as they came up, the Warriors gave the Trail Blazers a showdown.
12:0!
Four three points!
The Warriors were very aggressive on the defensive end.
The five main players are all well rested, full of energy and running very fast.
In addition, these five people cooperated very well, and it was at the Warriors' home court. The Trail Blazers ended up with mistakes four times in a row!
There is no way, the Warriors' starter is born to defeat the Twin Towers!
If you dare to play two centers, Curry will make you pay the price!
Lopez's three-pointer from the outside also gave Camby a headache!
The Blazers had no choice but to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers replaced Camby and played a game with one senior and four juniors.
That’s right, follow in the footsteps of the warriors!
Although this does not guarantee winning, at least there is hope.
The game was fierce and both teams worked hard.
The Trail Blazers want to regain their confidence from the team with the best record in the league, while the Warriors want to defend their home court and end their losing streak!
They all work hard and are active. At this time, it depends on their strength and physical fitness!
The Warriors are much stronger than the Trail Blazers.
As for physical fitness, the Warriors have an absolute advantage.
At halftime, 61:52, the score difference between the two teams was only 9 points, and the Trail Blazers were not far behind.
However, after the halftime break, the Blazers couldn't do it in the third quarter.
There is no way, everyone in the Warriors is still very fast, but the Trail Blazers can't keep up.
You know, the first half was at the Warriors' pace. The game was like a revolving door. It was quite fast!
Running with the Warriors for more than 20 minutes is fine, but running like this after a break is unbearable.
Especially Andre Miller and Camby, both of whom are veterans, will not be able to maintain this pace for long.
Although Camby did not start the game, he still played a lot of time.
The Trail Blazers couldn't keep up, but the Warriors' firepower didn't weaken at all.
Especially Curry, for some reason, he went crazy in the third quarter!
A three pointer!
Two three points!
A breakthrough layup!
Another breakthrough layup!
Curry seemed to be tirelessly attacking the Blazers' basket.
Soon, the score difference reached 20 points!
There was no change even after replacing the substitutes, and the Warriors continued to expand the point difference.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors already led by 25 points!
In the fourth quarter, the Blazers' main force came up and played for 3 minutes, and the score difference reached 30 points.
Trail Blazers coach McMillan had no choice but to substitute, surrender his gun and admit defeat.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 122:98!
5 losing streak ends!
Oracle Arena is finally back to its former glory!
Curry was on full fire in this game, playing 32 minutes and scoring 41 points, 8 assists, and 10 rebounds.
After holding it in for so long, Curry finally found someone to vent to!
Two days later, the Raptors came.
The Raptors are currently ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference and are fighting for a playoff spot.
This team is not easy to mess with.
However, hard work alone is not enough.
In the end, strength will speak for itself on the field.
Bosh is good, but as a team leader he's a little less than useful.
DeRozan has two skills, but at this time he is still a rookie, has not gained the full trust of the team, and is not yet the core of the team.
What's more, DeRozan has a weakness, that is, he doesn't have three-pointers!
Deng Fang knew this very well.
A guard without three-pointers is basically useless in Deng Fang's eyes!
I won't care about you even if you don't have the ball!
If the two main generals are not strong enough, it will not be possible to rely on role players.
Jack is very useful, Turkoglu is also capable, and Bargnani was once the top pick, but these people are all role players after all.
By this time of the season, the record can already explain a lot of problems.
The Raptors are only ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference. If they switch to the Western Conference, they will probably have to start from behind.
In the end, the Warriors won the game without any blood.
Two wins in a row!
Two days later, the Trail Blazers came to Oracle Arena again to challenge the Warriors.
This is the second meeting between the two teams in five days.
In these five days, the Warriors played one game and the Trail Blazers played 3!
Today's game is still their back-to-back.
You can't beat the Warriors even if you're physically fit, let alone in this state.
The Warriors widened the point difference to more than 30 points at halftime!
Curry didn't even play in the second half, and the Warriors still expanded the score.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers by 40 points!
In four games this season, the Warriors won three times!
The win gap between the Warriors and Lakers is back to 6 games!
At this point in the season, the six-game difference is almost impossible to recover.
After beating the Trail Blazers, the Warriors welcomed the Hornets again.
This is a back-to-back game for the Warriors.
However, Paul was absent due to injury, and Curry returned with full blood. Over and over again, the gap in strength between the two teams was too great.
The Warriors lost one game to the Hornets in their previous five-game losing streak.
This game must not be lost again!
Deng Fang showed no mercy and went out with all his strength, beating the Hornets to pieces.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Hornets 134:89.
