Chamberlain's downfall completely liberated Horford, and the Hawks began to show their all-round.

In the previous evaluation, even if there were Garnett, Howard, and O'Nelson Sr. in the East, but major media experts would still mention Horford's name, and the latter's power was immediately displayed.

Horford has very good fundamentals, he is a power forward, and his physical condition and technique are also built for power forward - dominant height at the power forward position, excellent mid-range shooting, excellent mobility, top ball handling ability at the No. 4 position and various finishing skills.

It's a pity that the Hawks are missing a center instead of a power forward, and there is a tough Josh Smith at the No. 4 position, so after coming to the Hawks, Horford was put in the center position.

On the inside, Horford's skills are completely adequate, and although he doesn't have a lot of tricks, he is practical, has a strong finishing ability, and he has a way to score no matter whether the opponent is tall or short.

Evans and Horford are about the same height, but the flexibility and explosiveness are much worse, as soon as the game opens, Horford continues to ask for the ball to eat, and he turns left and right after the impact, his footsteps follow what Olajuwon has learned, Evans can't prevent it, and he scores four points in a row.

On the defensive end, Horford has a very perverted ability - he can directly convert backcourt rebounds into fast breaks, Curry's mid-range shot is iron, Horford took the ball off and did not give it to point guard Teague, but to Johnson on the outside, and then rushed down, fast.

Horford's fast offense is not easy to defend, he is a natural power forward, super athletic, when Chamberlain is there, he can suppress him in all directions, which makes him unable to show his edge, but in the face of Evans, he can be sharp.

Johnson led the fast break, threw the ball to the rebound in the restricted area, and Horford followed up with the ball and dunked, which was crisp and sharp, and it was easy to think of Chamberlain.

West wanted the ball to attack, Crawford was nervous, the former hit the inside at will, missed the shot, but he then bypassed Crawford to grab the rebound, and learned from Chamberlain to hit Horford hard, turned around and dunked.

Horford didn't expect such an attack, he didn't stand firm, he was really knocked out of the way by West, the mad dog ball caused fans to exclaim, it was really powerful, few defenders can beat the center and succeed.

West is a lover type of player, and when he went crazy, he began to lead the Warriors on a counterattack, and Nelson Sr. called on the players to strengthen their defense, but West's offense was a bit chaotic and looked magnificent, but in fact, he didn't chase the score back at all.

Johnson then drew a foul from Gibson and hit both free throws, then Teague hit another three-pointer as the Hawks stopped the Warriors in the second half of the third quarter.

After the timeout, Smith also came on, and the Hawks fielded the strongest lineup.

Billups came on the court to stabilize the position, but the result was very unlucky, and then when he broke through to the basket, he stepped on Smith's foot, and slipped to the ground without jumping, and his ankle was directly swollen.

Old Nelson could only call another timeout for Bowen to help Billups to the locker room, and on the way Bowen smiled bitterly: "Is this retribution, I taught you how to get off your black feet, and as a result, you yourself injured your ankle first." ”

Billups jumped up and down in frustration and said, "Damn, is God on vacation today?" I didn't play half of my strength before I got hurt! Also, lately, I've been paying attention to taking care of my body. ”

As the game continued, Chamberlain returned to the court and hit a shot shortly after, but the Hawks opened up and the two sides continued a tough tug-of-war, with neither side being able to improve their scoring for a long time.

In the final period of the third quarter, the Hawks focused on defense and focused entirely on the defensive end, and in the last two and a half minutes, the Warriors only relied on Chamberlain's breakthrough to score 2 points, while the Hawks did not score a point, which shows the strength of the defense.

Chamberlain finally got another foul, Horford was very shrewd, and after touching him, he was a hard lier to him, and he didn't care about his count, and the big deal was that he didn't shoot the defensive foul, so he tried to make Chamberlain move more and eat the whistle.

Five fouls, Chamberlain did not dare to make big moves, so in the last two minutes, the team could not score for a long time, and he could only do it in a hurry.

However, the Warriors took advantage of this time to chase the score gap to five points and trail 77-82.

In the final quarter of the game, Nelson Sr. looked bad, Billups was injured, Chamberlain was trapped in a foul trap, and they only had West a point to attack.

Although Iverson is still an All-Star starter, but in fact his combat effectiveness is not as good as Billups, in the early part of the season, the reason why Iverson announced that he will not participate in the All-Star is actually out of this concern, he is afraid that he will not be selected as an All-Star starter, then he will not be able to play the All-Star, too embarrassing.

The All-Star bench is a selection of 30 team head coaches, and they are the ones who are good enough to be selected, and Iverson is no longer among their options.

Chamberlain had to preside over the offense, he continued to exert his power, the basket continued to step back and shoot, and scored 4 points in a row in the opening, but unfortunately Smith's strong dunk ruined the qiē, and it was about to tie the score, Smith rushed to Chamberlain to dunk, Chamberlain slapped the ball, but the action was too big, pulling Smith down, and the referee gave him a foul again.

Six fouls are full, and it's over!

For the first time this season, Chamberlain went off with six fouls, and the fans booed the referee, but it didn't help the reality.

Everyone else had a strong fighting spirit after Chamberlain's departure, and the Warriors' mourning victory was a league name for itself.

Curry came up for a three-point shot, Iverson stole Teague's pass with a quick hand, and he and Curry rushed to the front court on a fast break, only for Smith to catch up and cap Iverson's layup.

Iverson landed unsteadily and slipped to the ground, he sat on the floor and sighed, old, if he was young, Smith wouldn't have been able to catch up with him!

Ibaka made a strong dunk inside, but the Hawks then responded with a wave of 6-0 mini-climax, Horford and Smith and Johnson started to connect, the three-man play is similar to a triangle tactic, the ball runs with the three-person as the core, the initiator is generally Horford, and the finisher is carried out depending on the situation.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's four-point streak came closest to a comeback, and when he came off the court, the score began to pull away and continued until the end of the game.

At 104-98, the Hawks won the win, making it their first eight-game winning streak in nearly a decade.

After the game, Horford and Smith cheered and hugged each other, and Johnson made an '8' gesture, meaning that he had won eight in a row.

Chamberlain frowned and stood up, he was very unwilling, but it was nothing, in the regular season, winning or losing is a common thing in soldiers - in other words, Chamberlain felt aggrieved, he was sent off, not lost after a hard fight.

"You're playing tricks!" Chamberlain said to Horford dissatisfied.

Horford hugged him and said proudly: "But we won, we can win you, now there is an unspoken rule in the league, do you know?" As long as you can win against your team, no matter what tactics you have, it's a good tactic! ”

Chamberlain snorted, patted Horford on the shoulder and said, "Boy, the next game won't be like this, I'm going to you hard." ”

This game was a bit careless, he wanted West to take over the game in the second quarter and let him beat Crawford beautifully, but he was trapped in the second half and only scored 21 points, which is 13 points lower than his average points per game.

West played a good game today, scoring 34 points on 11-of-19 shooting, but unfortunately the Warriors without Chamberlain were not able to do their best.

The idea of going to play the All-Star with five straight wins failed, and with the grievance of losing to the Hawks, the Warriors taught the Clippers a hard lesson.

In Los Angeles, the Warriors easily defeated the Clippers 108-81, although he and Davis were teammates in the past, but Chamberlain did not give him a little face this time, if it weren't for the injury champion Griffin on the sidelines, Chamberlain intends to take a historical record in this game.

The Warriors' top scorer was Chamberlain, who scored 32 points in the game, including 20 in the first quarter and the remaining three quarters. But his rebounds are a record 32, which is as high as his scores, which is why the Warriors beat their opponents by a wide margin.

In addition, West had 21 points and six rebounds, Curry had 14 points, 14 assists and four steals, and Iverson had nine points. For the Clippers, Carman had 21 points and four rebounds, and Gordon had 20 points.

In the opening period, Byron Davis and Carman scored four points on an inside strike to give the home team a 4-0 lead in the opening period. But for the next six minutes, the Warriors pressed the opponent with super-intense defense, and the Clippers fell into a scoring drought.

On the Warriors' side, Chamberlain was full of firepower, scoring 13 points in a row inside and out, helping the Warriors to play an 18-0 scoring frenzy, and the Warriors 18-4 Clippers. Chamberlain scored four more points before the end of the quarter, and the Warriors led 28-10 into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Warriors continued to dominate on the offensive end, and after West hit one of two free throws, the Warriors took a 20-point lead at 47-27.

Curry then assisted on back-to-back jumpers from Chamberlain and West, giving the Warriors a 59-27 lead at the end of the first half.

With the play of Carman and Gordon, the Clippers played a high efficiency in the third quarter, but the firepower on the Warriors' side remained unabated, and the Spurs still led by 20 points at the end of the first three quarters. With a large lead, the Warriors came off the bench in the final quarter, and finally the horse won the Clippers without any suspense.

After the Clippers, the Warriors were back-to-back and continued to fly to Minnesota to play the Timberwolves.

The hatred between the Warriors and the Timberwolves is well-known throughout the league, and it didn't end with McHale's departure.

One of the more interesting things that happened before the game was that the Minnesota Basketball Newspaper ran an article in Chinese in the newspapers on the day of the game with the headline "The Wronged Debtor Has the Owner, the Culprit Is Dead."

This article is an open letter from Minnesota fans to Chamberlain, they said that McHale provoked you, not our team provoked you, McHale is all gone, you put down the butcher knife, can you stop rubbing salt on our scars? Our Timberwolves have been miserable enough in the past few seasons, if you want to vent, then change a few more teams.

The article did ease the animosity between Chamberlain and the Timberwolves, even though they still won quite a few points, which had little to do with Chamberlain, mainly because the other players had a good hand.

After the opening, the Warriors blossomed more, because they only scored 9 points in the last game, Iverson was reluctant, and he began to explode.

After the opening, Iverson played aggressively, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, and Chamberlain also scored three points in a row, while the Timberwolves' shooting rate was dismal, and Chamberlain did not deliberately dominate the rebound, allowing the Timberwolves to get a lot of secondary offensive opportunities, but they rarely converted into points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led 30-23. In the second quarter, the overall cooperation of the Warriors was more fluid, playing a wave of 15-2 offensive in the first three minutes, and Brewer broke out and led the Timberwolves to respond with a wave of small climaxes, but in the second half, the 76ers once again set off a wave of 14-5 climax, and the whole team scored 43 points in a single quarter and led 73-51 into the second half.

In the third quarter, Jefferson's form finally recovered, scoring 7 points in a single quarter, but the Timberwolves did not narrow the gap and fell behind 76-97 into the fourth quarter. In the last quarter, the Timberwolves had no fighting spirit, but they were hit by the opponent with a wave of small climaxes, and the game completely lost suspense, and finally lost the game 89-105.

The Warriors had five players in double figures, with West chipped in a game-high 31 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Chamberlain contributed 25 points and 17 rebounds, Iverson scored 26 points, and Curry came off the bench with 10 points and 17 assists.

On the Timberwolves' side, Jefferson contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds, Brewer scored 14 points, and Ellington, who came off the bench, scored a team-high 16 points.
