February 9, Oracle Arena.

The regular season is still going on, and the situation in the East and West is becoming clearer.

The East is still the first place for the Pistons, followed by young teams such as the Cavaliers, Raptors, and Bulls, followed by the old giants such as the Heat and the Wizards.

In the West, the Mavericks are making great efforts in the future, and their records are soaring, and they don't know how many strong teams in the NBA have won, but they are at the top of the league with a record of 40 wins and 9 losses. The Mavericks don't have any special introductions, and they are still the same lineup as they were in the previous two years, but this year the team is in very good shape, able to get a lot of wins, and very consistent. Then there is the Suns, who are also crazy, winning in a row, with 33 wins and 10 losses, ranking second in the league, and the two teams have one thing in common, that is, they have a bad start and a late momentum.

The Warriors got off to a perfect start but lost a few games and finished third in the league with 35 wins and 14 losses. After the Warriors, it was a good start, but there were always upsets behind the Spurs, and the Spurs did not play as steadily as last year, with 33 wins and 16 losses ranking fourth in the West.

The Rockets have been a brilliant season, with 31 wins and 17 losses ranking fifth in the West, which has made Houston fans very satisfied.

Yang Di felt that the Warriors had played very well this season, and their record was not much worse than last season, and there were even some improvements, but he didn't expect that there were two teams in the West that were more fierce than the Warriors.

On this day, all 22 teams in the league are in play, and 11 matches are played simultaneously in a day.

The Warriors host the Chicago Bulls, who are now fourth in the East, and the team has a group of young players, and after bringing in Big Ben in the offseason, the defense system has been improved, and the combat record has improved by leaps and bounds.

Last season, Jason Richardson played the pinnacle of his career with the Bulls, averaging 23.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, but this season, the demand for the ball from players such as Hinrich, Ben Gordon, and Rohrdden of the Bulls has risen sharply, and Jason Richardson's data has shrunk significantly, and his average points per game have plummeted to 16 points due to certain injuries, which has hurt him a lot.

After the stats slipped and the results went up, many people thought that Richardson should only contribute so much every night, which would help the team the most.

Richardson has had a bit of a bad time with the Bulls, but fortunately, he is still a starting member.

In the evening, the game between the Bulls and the Warriors.

In the pre-game warm-up, Richardson came over to hug players such as Jandy and Fisher, and the Warriors have also changed a lot after he left, and the players he was familiar with such as Murphy and Dunleavy were all gone, and the new faces were not familiar at all.

"Is the Bulls an away game in the West? In addition to the Warriors, what other teams do you have to play against? Yang Di shook hands with Richardson and hugged lightly, and asked casually.

"There's a game against the Suns the day after tomorrow, we've played against the Jazz and the Kings before, and then on Valentine's Day, we're going to play the Hornets, so we can finish the Western Conference away game before the All-Star break, and then we'll have a weekend break of about five days." Richardson said with a smile, looking at Yang Di, whose skin was darker, but more majestic and burly, and sighed in his heart.

At the beginning, he and Yang Di failed to compete for the leadership position, and I couldn't figure out why the team would rather have a basketball player who had been seriously injured than him who was in his prime, but now it seems that his own pattern is too small, if he was willing to abdicate to be the second-in-command at that time, maybe there would be nothing to do with Byron when he won the championship last year, right?

But now, it's too late, and the Warriors haven't contacted him again, and after two years with the Bulls, is that a failure?

"Come on, behave well!"

Yang Di patted Richardson's hand and woke him up from his trance, Richardson nodded, and then the two turned back to their own half.

Warriors starters: Derrick Fisher, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Jandy, Tyson Chandler.

Bulls starters: Kirk Hinrich, Jason Richardson, Roel Deng, PJ Brown, Ben Wallace.

At his peak, Big Ben was one of the few players in the league who could resist Yang Di's strength, Big Ben was fast and flexible, and he was a player who could defend against Yang Di alone.

Garnett was able to prevent Yang Di at the beginning, but after Yang Di's strength became stronger and stronger, Garnett was no longer good, and now when he sees Yang Di, Garnett is mainly assisting in defense.

When Richardson was introduced, the Bay Area fans cheered and gave a lot of applause and cheers.

Richardson raised his hand with red eyes and waved, remembering the scene when he was picked in the Warriors draft and then came to Oakland alone at the age of 20.

The game officially began, and Chandler jumped to win the big book.

It's been less than a week since Chandler returned, playing around 25 minutes, and Montgomery didn't want him to put too much pressure on him.

Fisher advances with the ball and waves in front of the court to signal the player to open up space.

Then Yang Di fell to the low post, and PJ Brown was on Yang Di's back with one foot on the paint area.

Fisher came in with the ball, floated out a little, Yang Di took a small step out to receive the basketball, and before he could make the action of his back, he suddenly turned his back suddenly, stepped on the floor with his left foot, and floated out.

PJ Brown didn't expect Yang Di's action to be so quick and decisive, this was just the beginning, it was such a violent step-back jumper.

He stretched out his hand and wanted to interfere with Yang Di's shooting, but the actual effect was even unclear in his own heart.

"Huh!"

The basketball hollow hit the opening game just over 9 seconds.

Yang Di retreated and high-fived Fisher, just now, it was Fisher's assist, Yang Di received Fisher's pass, and attacked continuously, and the time was short.

Attacking and defending changes, Hinrich advances with the ball.

After being drafted by the Bulls with a high pick in the first round in '03, Hinrich has been considered the best playmaker in '03, and he is also considered the epitome of the platinum generation. In the second season of his career, he was able to have an average of 16+7 data per game, and during the Olympic Games this summer, he was famous, and he was still above stars such as Howard and Paul.

This is his fourth season, but he still only has 16.6 points and 6.2 assists, and his shooting percentage is just over 40%, and almost all of his games are long-range shots, and there is no breakthrough.

Many experts doubt how far the Bulls lineup with Hinrich as the core can really go in the playoffs.

The bespectacled Hinrich raised his arms flat and directed the Bulls players to run, Richardson pretended to run back, and PJ Brown, who helped him run back to cover, cut inside.

Hinrich saw the stitch and hit the ground directly to give PJ Brown an offensive basket.

Yang Di's eyes flashed, he underestimated him too much! He took a step, judged the way of the ball, reached out and patted lightly, and stole the pass.

When the Warriors players saw Yang Di snatching the basketball, they were immediately shaken and began to attack quickly.

Yang Di grabbed the basketball and advanced it by himself, like a tide, invading the Bulls in the half.
