The Warriors had a loose schedule for the first two weeks, with one game in two to three days to get enough rest, but this week they had four games to play, and the rest of the game started to get tight.

This week, the Warriors not only have a tight schedule, but also have strong opponents, the first of which is the rising star Hornets in the West.

The Hornets had a dull season after joining the NBA in 1988 and were the league's belly team, and anyone who saw it could abuse them. But in 1991 and 1992, the Hornets turned over through the draft, and they got Big Mom Larry Johnson and the No. 1 tough guy in the current season, Alonzo Mourning, two great interior players who helped the Hornets break into the playoffs in their fifth season in the NBA.

In the 21st century, the Hornets continued to compete, and in 2001 they were only one step away from the Eastern Conference finals, when the Hornets' leading brother was Byron Davis, the boss of the Warriors when Chamberlain first arrived, this guy was no longer so powerful when he was with the Warriors, and when he was with the Hornets, he had two consecutive triple-doubles in the playoffs, which was the fifth person in NBA history.

Then, in the summer of 2004, the Hornets moved to New Orleans, and things didn't go their way when things started, with a broken roster, a runaway team and the horror of Hurricane Katrina, which led to a drop in performance. But after acquiring the magic point guard Chris Paul in 2005, the Hornets began to turn around, especially last season, the Hornets led the team to the second place in the West, until the last moment when they were traded to Gasol's Lakers to finish third, and that season, Paul was the second person on the MVP list.

Despite failing to make it to the Western Conference Finals last season, the Hornets already saw hope, so they signed James Posey this summer to bolster their defense and playoff experience as they prepare to start their journey to the championship this season.

Speaking of which, the Warriors' uniform team's summer performance is really unsatisfactory, they didn't give the team any reinforcements, that is, they selected three rookies, and their important outside benches Petrus and Chamberlain's substitute O'Bryant went away, and even worse is that the main scorer Monta Ellis was banned for 10 games due to an injury to a motorcycle incident, but these are not a big deal, because the Warriors started the season with a five-one record, and so far only the Lakers who have won all of them have pressed them.

The Hornets have played seven games, are 5-2 so far, and are third in the West, and if they can win today, they will move into second place in the West.

Paul has just been voted the Western Conference Weekly Champion, and his physical condition and competitive level are excellent, while Chamberlain is the Western Conference Weekly Champion in the first week, and the two of them, a guard and a center, can just use this game to provide an argument for the outside world's disputes: Is it a good guard who helps the team a lot or a good center who helps a lot?

Chamberlain is full of confidence, isn't it easy and enjoyable to play a wasp? SO-EAZY.

The Hornets' starting lineup is: center Tyson Chandler, power forward David West, small forward Peja, playmaking guard Paul, and the scoring guard is newly introduced veteran guard James Posey.

The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Chamberlain, power forward Ibaka, small forward Jackson, playmaking guard Billups, and shooting guard West.

The lineups of both teams are remarkable, and the Hornets' interior line is Chandler and West, and the two have one main defense and one main offense, and they can also rank in the entire league penalty area together, so that they can redeem Chamberlain. The Warriors' playmaking guard is Billups, who is also an excellent point guard, although not as good as Paul today, but at least enough.

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Chandler was bent on fighting for Paul, and when he jumped the ball, he was stunned to beat Chamberlain to grab the ball, Paul broke through with the ball, Billups retreated to defend, Paul quickly came to a big change of direction, Billups defended well, and stopped it with a cross-cutting step. But at this moment, Billups, who was taking a step across, suddenly slipped, and Paul took the opportunity to immediately break through the jump shot and score.

The game was played at the Oracle Center Arena, the home of the Warriors, and the home fans were cheering, and there were many beautiful women who came to watch the game: Jessica Alba, Ivanka, etc., the Warriors' number one star fans, saw Billups slip and fall on his own, Chamberlain ran over with a smile and said, "Hey, bro, it's too embarrassing, right?" ”

He tried to pull Billups up, but found that something was wrong, Billups was holding his right ankle with pain on his face, and his dark face was faintly blue!

Chamberlain's heart immediately jumped 'thump', and he anxiously knelt down in front of Billups and asked, "Chauncey, what's wrong with you?" ”

Billups tried and didn't dare to stretch his leg at all, just for a few seconds, his face was already covered with cold sweat, he inhaled the cool air and said painfully: "It seems to be a sprained ankle, damn it, my right foot can't move!" ”

Chamberlain hurriedly called a timeout, but Paul stole the ball passed by Ibaka - he also thought Billups just slipped and fell, so the referee shook his head, according to NBA rules, the Warriors now have no power to call a timeout. However, Paul saw that something was wrong, so he threw the ball directly, the basketball bounced out, and Ibaka picked up the rebound before calling a timeout.

The team doctor hurriedly came on the field, and the two of them shook their heads at the same time after looking at Billups's ankle, and said to Nelson Sr.: "The situation is very bad, we have to do an MRI, Chauncey's ankle is not a sprain, it may be a ligament strain!" ”

"Fuck!" Old Nelson directly burst into foul language, and he was on the verge of breaking down, which is really sad enough, you must know that Billups is the treasure of the Warriors, who will control the game without him?

Chamberlain carried Billups straight off the pitch, and the fans were in an uproar, they didn't know the specifics of the road, but they knew that the team was going to have problems.

At the end of the timeout, Nelson Sr. used Curry as a substitute to play, and Chamberlain watched Billups disappear into the tunnel with a lift, and he was worried for a while.

Curry was in danger, and Paul stood on the court looking at him and asked, "Hey, rookie, did your head coach let you play against me?" ”

Curry asked rhetorically, "Are you scared?" ”

When Paul heard this, he laughed and shook his head, "I really don't know if you should praise you for being fearless and telling you in advance, I will take 30+15 today." ”

Curry is actually really scared, if he wants to pee first: is there any mistake, the opposite side is the league's No. 1 point guard, the last game against the Suns, he is not the No. 1 point guard against him, and as a result, he will lose face!

Chandler smiled and said, "Rookie, I can testify, Chris is serious, you see that he even broke his ankle by your main point guard, you better hurry up." ”

Chamberlain was furious when he heard this, Billups was unlucky, and Chandler said it as if he had really been blown up by Paul.

The Warriors have the ball, and the fans are disappointed to see Chamberlain leading the team alone, this is really a single-core battle, except for West, who can also bring some help to Chamberlain, everyone else is used to make up the numbers.

Paul pounced on Curry with the ball, and his defense was aggressive, using his strong body to press Curry and force him to pass.

West started to break through when he got the ball, and Billups' absence actually liberated him, and he was the only strong point on the outside.

Chamberlain yelled at him: "Show your true strength and teach these fools a lesson!" ”

Wess nodded, and in the face of Posey's defense, he retreated slightly, Posey stepped forward, and Random West's body curled like a cannonball, and he flew out of the sky with a 'whoosh', throwing off Posey and striding straight to the Yellow Dragon!

David West went to make up for the defense, the two Wests faced each other, Delonte West didn't lose his speed in front of him, a hit pass and then his body turned 360 degrees, and he turned around David.

David West only felt a chill in his crotch, and then he heard the cheers of the audience like a volcanic eruption, and he immediately understood: he was crotched!

Yes, Delonte wore the crotch and turned to receive the ball, rushed to the basket in one step, jumped hard in front of Chandler, and threw the ball into the hoop with precision.

This offense is extremely ****, but Chamberlain shook his head slightly in his heart, if Billups is still there, this ball is his own feint and then pass to him, Chamberlain completely threw Chandler away before, it was to see that West was indeed going to impact the hoop, so he turned around and stuck Chandler.

A good point guard is a smart brain, Paul waved his teammates to run, he hit his back against Curry and walked inside, and when West came up to wrap up, he passed the ball quickly to Peja, who made an elegant step-back jumper from 20 feet out to easily score two points for the Hornets.

In the first quarter, the protagonist of the Warriors was not Chamberlain, but West, who suddenly went crazy without knowing what he was doing, and he scored the first 7 points for the Warriors. Peja started well, Paul kept breaking through the ball, Peja used his teammates' cover to keep running, and cut four more points to help the Hornets lead 10-7. Curry realized that West was playing a little alone, and he commanded the opponent to give him a position, then first passed to Jackson to assist him to hit a three-pointer, and then jumped up in front of Paul and hit a three-pointer to help the Warriors chase the score to 11-12.

"It's a good struggle." Paul looked at Curry with a smile, and there was a kind of ease between forms, which was a manifestation of absolute confidence in himself and absolute control over the enemy. He and West fought back, with Ibaka being unsuccessful in restricting West, who was too cunning and had plenty of offensive means to give him a headache.

Paul's control of the court made West's eyes hot, and he wanted to prove that he was not bad at all, so he made a three-point shot to break through to the basket, like a crocodile that broke into a fishpond, and West's Peja had little resistance on the defensive end, and Posey had long given up defending West, whose youth and vigor were not comparable to his old gentleman.

West helped the Warriors blossom inside and out, and after another Chamberlain covered a layup to tie the score at 24-23. After that, despite Paul's repeated good passes, the Hornets' shooting percentage dropped, and the Warriors used breakouts and outside scoring to play a wave of offensive ****, and the first quarter ended with the Warriors leading 34-27.

West's heroic performance stunned the Hornets, who scored 17 points in the first quarter, half as much as the entire team.

After the start of the second quarter, the Warriors continued to maintain the lead, Azubuuk came off the bench and hit a three-pointer in the opening game, Paul broke through and was blocked by Chamberlain, and West grabbed the ball and hit a defensive fast break to counterattack, causing Peja to foul.

Paul led the team on the counterattack, but the first shot did not go well, West hit Harrington with a back, bypassed the latter and went down the middle to the basket to hook up for a layup, and Chamberlain slapped the ball down for him. But Paul was resilient and patient, and then assisted West again for a dunk.

West's madness began to decline by the middle of the second quarter, after all, he was not a Transformer with unlimited physical strength. Chamberlain, who had been focused on defense, stepped up, first cooperated with Curry to make a pick-and-roll hook shot, and then turned around with the ball and shook Chandler for a dunk.

Chandler's defensive ability is undoubted, but Chamberlain's two consecutive balls made him helpless, and when he served to Paul, he said depressedly: "Damn, this kid is more difficult to deal with than Garnett, Duncan, and Yao Ming!" ”

The Warriors' outside attack was too fierce in the first quarter, which is why there is no good point guard to control the overall situation, and in the second quarter, the quality of the outside defense suddenly dropped, and the Hornets played a wave of 12-6 small ****, narrowing the score gap to 50-53. David West's low-post attack drew a foul on Chamberlain, and after making both free throws, the Hornets regained the lead at 56-55, but Chamberlain hit a buzzer-beating shot before the end of the quarter to give the Warriors a one-point lead heading into the second half at 57-56.

After the start of the second half, the two sides were locked in a tug-of-war. Chandler's powerful dunk was blocked by Chamberlain again, the cheers of the fans in the Oracle Center arena were like thunder, almost knocking the roof off, Paul broke through himself, and no one among the Billups guards could stop him - there was a West who defended well, but he had to keep an eye on Peja and keep his energy on the offensive end!

Azubuke had no choice but to reach out and pull it down, and Paul scored two more points from the free throw line to tie the score at 60. THE HORNETS' HAND BEGAN TO SLOWLY HEAT UP, PEJA HIT A THREE-POINT SHOT, CHAMBERLAIN MISSED A BASKET AND CHANDLER GRABBED THE REBOUND, PAUL ORGANIZED A FAST-BREAK BACKHAND PASS TO A NO-LOOK-PASS, AND MORRIS PETERSON DUNKED IN THE BACK, AND THE HORNETS LED THE WARRIORS 65-62.

Chamberlain stepped up again, hitting a hook shot from the basket and drawing a foul on a defender's West hitter to help the Warriors tie the score. Then after Curry scored on a breakaway layup, the score of the two teams was tied at 68. It was only late in the quarter that the Hornets began to bombard themselves again, and Posey finally fulfilled the team's role of signing him, hitting two three-pointers in a row from the outside to give the Hornets an 84-80 lead. Fortunately, Chamberlain scored four points on consecutive free throws before the end of the quarter, and the Warriors temporarily trailed by one point at 84-85.

After the start of the last quarter of the game, the Hornets played a wave of 5-1 and led 90-85, and the Hornets continued to lead for more than half of the quarter.

In the last four minutes, the two sides fought a bloody battle, Chamberlain blocked Chandler's layup again, turned his head and made a resolute shot in the bag to get rid of Simms's defensive foul and hit both free throws, and the Warriors chased the score to 98-100.

Chamberlain strengthened his defense, and even did not hesitate to pull the defensive range out of the three-point line, Chandler and Paul's shots were off one after another, and the Warriors launched the most rear-end counterattack, West's layup caused Paul to foul, but unfortunately it was only one of two free throws, but Chamberlain grabbed a key rebound and made a layup to add two more points, and after 1 minute and 14 seconds, the Warriors overtook the score to 101-100.

Chandler received an assist from Paul and drew a foul on Chamberlain, hitting one of two free throws, and the two teams were tied at 101 with 56 seconds left. Later, the Warriors attacked, and the Hornets pressed, which actually caused the Warriors to violate the offense in 24 seconds. In the last 32 seconds, Paul missed the shot, Chamberlain protected the rebound, and Chandler fouled him, but Chamberlain hit both free throws to give the Warriors 103-102 to regain the lead.

Later, Paul broke through and hit a shot, and 19 seconds later, the Hornets led the Warriors 104-103, and the fans in the Oracle Arena didn't even dare to exhale, holding their breath and watching the players on the court compete.

The Warriors executed the last attack, there is no doubt that it will be Chamberlain's shot, but Curry made a mistake in passing, he was clicked by Paul when he passed, and the ball passed short and fell into the hands of Chandler, who went around the front defense, and after 3 seconds Paul continued to dribble under the crotch and then feigned a breakthrough, Curry was shaken, and Paul stepped back and hit the shot again, and the Hornets led 106-103.

There is only 0 left after the last time. Eight seconds, the opportunity and pressure were left to the Warriors.
