On March 4, the Warriors visited Boston's TD Garden to challenge the Celtics.
The two teams fought very fiercely in this game. The Celtics were bound to win, and the Warriors did not give in.
The Warriors are missing two core players, Curry and Lopez, inside and outside, while the Celtics are playing with all their members. If they can't win under such circumstances, then they have no shame in calling themselves a strong team!
Although the Warriors are missing Curry and Lopez, they are still not weak!
Especially the substitute!
The Warriors were still a little behind in the starting match, but as soon as the substitutes came on, the Warriors immediately overtook the score!
Although Curry and Lopez are missing, the Warriors have always rotated with 14 people!
Yi Jianlian, Jeremy Lin, Belinelli and others have a lot of playing time!
Although these people played more in garbage time before, it was also a real NBA game!
Many times the opponent is the main force!
So the Warriors had the upper hand as soon as they came off the bench.
But Rivers is also a ruthless person. He attaches great importance to this game and is bound to win.
The Celtics and Heat currently have the same record. They only rely on their matchup advantage to overtake the Heat and rank second in the Eastern Conference.
Lose this game and the Celtics will drop to third place!
If Curry and Lopez are on the court, Foss will still have to think about it.
But now that neither of them can fight, such a good opportunity cannot be missed.
Rivers' method is to squeeze the main players and let them play early!
Not only does the playing time increase, but he also has to fight hard!
This is our home court!
Fuck me harder!
In the NBA, home court advantage still exists.
As soon as the Celtics' main force came on the court, the momentum immediately reversed.
These people in the Green Army have been working together for many years, and they have a good understanding of each other and are excellent at both ends of the offense and defense.
But the Warriors were undeterred!
If you dare to fight, we will also dare to take action!
So what if I get sent off?
There are many of us!
The two sides fought very fiercely, with whistles coming and going, and the game was constantly interrupted.
Deng Fang didn't care much about winning or losing in this game.
The Warriors' record is already good enough, and there is no suspense about being number one in the league.
As long as he has the best record in the league and widens the gap with the Bulls, then Curry will be the MVP!
As long as this is done, it doesn't matter what the regular season record is in the end.
In fact, from Deng Fang's heart, he didn't want to win.
The season when the Splash Brothers set a record of 73 wins is an everlasting memory for Deng Fang.
Deng Fang doesn’t want to break this record before then!
He wants to relive the best memories!
Leading the team in person and breaking records with the Splash Brothers is so exciting just thinking about it!
So Deng Fang didn't care about winning or losing this game.
The reason why I didn't directly go on the bench to perform badly was because I was afraid of damaging the morale of the team members.
Once Curry and Lopez get injured, the head coach loses confidence in winning!
Deng Fang still doesn’t trust us!
Even the head coach doesn't trust us, is there something wrong with us?
Once your players have such thoughts, it will be troublesome.
It is difficult to improve morale, but it is easy to undermine the morale of the team.
So Deng Fang didn't mess it up directly.
It's good to win the game, but it's okay to lose.
Feel free to do whatever you want!
Although Deng Fang didn't care, the accident still happened.
At the end of the second quarter, Lowry tried to draw an offensive foul on Garnett during a defense, but Garnett knocked him to the ground with an elbow!
Little Jordan couldn't bear it all of a sudden, so he went up and punched him!
Garnett and Rondo didn't show any weakness and rushed forward with punches.
The two teams immediately got into a fight.
The referee and coach quickly stepped forward to separate the crowd.
Lowry suffered a head injury and had to leave the game for treatment.
After watching the replay, Jordan was convicted of a second-degree foul and was ejected.
Garnett and Rondo are both Level 1 criminals.
The Celtics are fine, but the Warriors have lost two generals!
Together with Curry and Lopez, the Warriors are missing four people!
These four people are still the main force!
Without Lopez and DeAndre Jordan, the Warriors will have no real center.
In the second half, Kirilenko was pushed to the fifth position.
Although four players were missing, the morale of the Warriors was not greatly affected and they still played tenaciously.
Without the center, we have to attack from the flank!
Just like the last game, let Rondo shoot!
But this time Rondo was well prepared and acted decisively.
If one doesn't come in, there will be two, if two don't come in, there will be three...
After missing three shots, Rondo found the feeling and hit two consecutive three-pointers.
Coupled with the performance of Ray Allen and Pierce, the Celtics slowly expanded the point difference to 10 points.
Without four main players, the Warriors are still lagging behind the Celtics in terms of strength.
The Celtics didn't want to miss this good opportunity, they played very aggressively.
Although the Warriors played tenaciously, the point difference kept widening.
In the end, at the end of the third quarter, the Warriors trailed by 20 points!
In the fourth quarter, Deng Fang did not let any more veteran players play. Jeremy Lin, Yi Jianlian and others came in to finish the rest of the game.
In the end, the Warriors lost the game 103:119.
This was the Warriors' fourth loss of the season.
After the game, Deng Fang gave Lowry some treatment.
Like Curry, Lowry also recovered slowly over two weeks.
Losing this game made Deng Fang completely think about it and not break the record!
The better your record is, the more your opponents will fight you!
What an honor it would be to defeat a team that might break a record!
Someone asked me later that when the Warriors broke the record and only lost 9 games in a season, we were the ones who won!
How cool that feels!
No matter which team wants to be one of them!
Therefore, subsequent games for the Warriors will become increasingly difficult, and the competition will become more and more intense!
People are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes, but we can’t!
What's more, Deng Fang didn't want to break the record so early!
That's why Deng Fang let Lowry, like Curry and Lopez, recover slowly.
Just give these three people some rest time.
Lowry's problem isn't big, but Jordan is in some trouble.
Because Jordan hit Garnett in the face with a vicious foul, the league imposed an additional penalty on Jordan after the game: a two-game suspension.
According to the rules, the Warriors have nothing to say.
Fortunately, Deng Fang didn't care about winning or losing the next game.
The next opponent is the 76ers, a team on the edge of the playoffs and not very strong.
Because of Iguodala, the Warriors have already lost to the 76ers once before.
This time Deng Fang didn’t want to lose.
The Warriors and 76ers only have two games in a season, how can they lose both?!
Livingston started this game, and Kirilenko was pushed to the center position.
Although they were short of major generals, the Warriors still had the upper hand from the beginning.
The final result was no surprise, the Warriors won a big victory!
On March 8, the Warriors ushered in the challenge of the Cavaliers at home.
Deng Fang doesn’t want to win the game against the Cavaliers!
I just want to show James that the Cavaliers can beat us if you leave!
As long as James is here, we will not lose!
The reason James lost before was not because his teammates were trash, but because your own level was not good enough!
From the beginning, Deng Fang sent Jeremy Lin, Yi Jianlian and others.
Training!
Throw a three-pointer!
Not only that, once the Warriors gained momentum, Deng Fang immediately called a timeout.
Jeremy Lin, your three-point shooting is good, but you have been playing a bit too much during this period. It’s time to take a rest...
Yi Jianlian, you have dunked two baskets in a row. Are you tired? Come down and rest for a while...
Cavaliers coach Byron Scott was stunned by Deng Fang's operation!
What happened?
Reverse operation?
Is Deng Fang so interesting?
What's the relationship between us?
Could it be that I am your long-lost biological son?
No, that's the opposite...
But it’s impossible even by looking at our skin colors!
Although Byron Scott didn't understand what was going on, he was still very happy.
Who wouldn’t be happy if there was hope of winning?
The Cavaliers have lost 25 consecutive games. Who would have expected to win against the Warriors?
Who doesn’t want to end the losing streak?
Who wants to be nailed to the pillar of shame of history?
Not only did they win, they won with the Warriors, who have the best record in the league!
The Warriors may break the NBA single-season winning record!
Although we set a losing record in team history, we defeated the Warriors!
Not only did he win against the Warriors, he also won a double kill!
The Warriors set a record for a season sweep!
What an honor this is!
Deng Fang is simply my reborn parent!
No, it can only be the father, not the mother...
Byron Scott was very happy, but he still underestimated the strength of the Warriors.
Although Deng Fang became a traitor and cooperated with the knights inside and outside, the warriors still took the lead.
Those who are not ahead are still ahead!
The knight had a hard time chasing.
Until the last moment, the Warriors were still one point ahead!
Fortunately, Deng Fang stood up at the critical moment, yelled at the referee, accused the referee of blowing the whistle, and was ejected for two consecutive technical fouls. The Cavaliers then relied on free throws to overtake the score.
In the last two seconds, Jeremy Lin made an emergency stop and missed the shot. The Cavaliers escaped and won the game in a thrilling way!
After the game, the game made headlines in major media as Deng Fang wished:
The league's last free throw kill defeated the Warriors!
The Cavaliers ended their 25-game losing streak, and the Warriors really came to the rescue in a timely manner!
Sweeping the Warriors this season, are the Cavaliers stronger or weaker without James?
Facing the Warriors James, there was no victory, and the Cavaliers actually had a double kill after leaving!
Is James the boss of the team or a cancer on the court? The Cavaliers' victory over the Warriors again is thought-provoking!
…
Deng Fang did not care about these remarks.
Deng Fang knows the strength of the Warriors.
We have no other requirements, just give James some trouble!
…
The next opponent is the Nets.
The Nets just traded Deron Williams before the mid-term trade deadline, but the Nets' record has not improved much since Deron arrived, and they are still ranked fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.
Against such a bad team, even if the Warriors are short of major generals, there is no suspense.
Not every bad team is treated like the Cavaliers...
The Cavaliers have only had such good times in the past three years...
After a big victory, the Warriors faced the challenge of the Magic again.
The Magic are a quasi-strong team, they only reached the Finals the year before last.
However, since Turkoglu made his debut last year, the Magic have been in decline year after year.
Although Howard is here and the team's skeleton has not been changed, the Magic's performance is very unstable.
If you play well, you can beat a strong team; if you play poorly, a weak team will lose.
The Magic are currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, behind the Bulls, Celtics and Heat.
In order to improve their ranking, they met the Warriors who were short of major generals. The Magic team exploded with amazing combat effectiveness, and each outside line was more accurate than the other.
Coupled with Warcraft's rampage in the interior, the Warriors failed defensively both inside and outside.
In the end, the Warriors suffered a defeat on the road.
Deng Fang didn't care much about this.
I don’t want to break the record anyway, whoever I lose to is not a loser!
The Magic don't even have much hope of reaching the second round, let alone the Finals.
Weak teams can lose, but strong teams cannot.
…
The opponents in the next two games are the worst teams of the millennium: the Timberwolves and Kings.
Deng Fang sent out a training lineup at the beginning. Jeremy Lin and several others shot three-pointers wildly, but the Warriors still won.
There's nothing we can do about it.
It’s not that I don’t want to keep a low profile, it’s just that my strength doesn’t allow it!
…
On March 16, the Warriors challenged the Mavericks away from home.
The Mavericks have been on a roll recently, having just won a winning streak and ranking fourth in the Western Conference, behind the Warriors, Spurs and Lakers.
The fact is that historically the championship this season is the Mavericks!
This shows how strong the Mavericks are!
To be able to defeat the top three giants, the Mavericks still have two tools.
Curry, Lopez and Lowry still can't play.
Deng Fang didn't want to lose this game.
To reach the finals, the Mavericks are an opponent that must be defeated.
In this case, Deng Fang doesn't want the Mavericks to win a match.
Sweeping the season, this is a psychological deterrent to opponents who meet in the playoffs!
But the Mavericks are not easy to beat.
The game was very intense.
The Mavericks are a group of veterans with rich experience and good cooperation.
Kidd provided support, Nowitzki's singles attracted a double attack, and Terry added firepower from the outside. The Mavericks played in an orderly manner and were strong on offense.
The Warriors focus on defense. Livingston, Hayward, Tucker, Kirilenko and DeAndre Jordan have height, wingspan, outstanding athletic ability, and their defense is airtight.
The defense of this Warriors lineup is very good, and it is difficult for most teams to deal with it.
But the Mavericks are not too afraid.
The thing that veterans are least afraid of is the jumping man!
Kirilenko was originally the best choice to defend Nowitzki, but Nowitzki felt very good today!
Three threats to catch the ball and shoot directly!
Catch the ball and shoot!
As soon as he catches the ball, he immediately rushes inside!
Due to his excellent touch, Kirilenko did not dare to stay too far away from Nowitzki, which gave the opponent a chance to break through.
Once Nowitzki opens up, the Mavericks come alive.
The Warriors flanked Nowitzki, and the Mavericks outside shooter waited until he was almost open.
The Warriors persisted for a quarter and a half, but gradually couldn't hold on any longer.
The difference gradually widens.
At the end of the first half, the Warriors were already trailing by 10 points!
In the third quarter, Deng Fang asked Kirilenko to play center, and Tucker moved to the fourth position. With his excellent outside touch, the Warriors chased the score back.
However, without Curry and Lowry, the Warriors' offense was unsustainable, and they were quickly overtaken by the Mavericks.
Although defense wins championships, defense alone is not enough.
With their tenacious defense, the Warriors fought until the last moment.
However, the weakness on the offensive end has also made it difficult for the Warriors to overtake the score.
In the end, the Mavericks firmly grasped the victory with their stable offense.
After the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 109:113.
The Warriors also suffered their seventh defeat of the season.
