This result was in sharp contrast to the first time the two teams met.

After the game, Nao Yao was very happy to win and went up to encourage Sun Yi.
"Kid, keep up the good work, we look forward to playing together in the All-Stars."
After Kobe finished speaking, he waved and turned and walked towards the tunnel.
Watching Nacha leave, Sun Yi shook his head slightly, feeling that Cauliflower Snake might not be able to come to the appointment.
According to the original historical development, Kobe will announce his withdrawal from this All-Star Game due to a finger injury and concentrate on recuperating and preparing for the playoffs.
Sun Yi withdrew his gaze, turned and walked towards the players' tunnel, returning to the locker room to join the team.

On January 30, the Warriors faced the Jazz at home.
The Warriors failed to defeat the Jazz in the two previous meetings between the two sides.
In this confrontation, the Warriors are no longer what they used to be, and their overall strength has been greatly improved. It is not certain who will win.

If you play a positional offense against a defensive team like the Jazz, take the date pill.
Facing the Warriors' run and gun, the Jazz have Deron in control and will not be easily led astray.

In this way, the two sides played inextricably, and the game fell into an anxious state.
When the game reached the last minute or so of the fourth quarter, the two sides decided the winner.
Sun Yi relied on active defense to block Boozer's shot, then grabbed the basketball and ran toward the frontcourt.
The Warriors launched a defensive counterattack, and Sun Yi broke into the penalty area to attract the defense and immediately scored the ball.
Curry, who was standing in the left corner, received the pass and, against Kirilenko's defense, hit a three-pointer, opening the point difference to 5 points.
The Jazz did not give up the game and planned to fight to the death. Deron dribbled to the three-point line and missed the three-point shot despite Curry's interference.
Under the basket, Boozer grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately separated it.
After receiving the ball, Deron continued to shoot three-pointers without any hesitation.

In the January game, James averaged 30.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game, leading the Cavaliers to an excellent record of 12 wins and 3 losses.
If he continues to finish the regular season with this performance, there is a high probability that he can win the honor of regular season MVP.
The Cavaliers were able to achieve such an excellent record in January not only because of James' excellent statistics, but also because they completed a robbery deal after the "Gungate" incident, using a bare-knuckle method to acquire quasi-All-Star players. Jamison has greatly increased the overall strength of the Cavaliers.
At this stage, the Cavaliers have become the most popular team to win the championship, with the winning odds surpassing the Lakers to rank first.
The Western Conference Player of the Month was won by Chris Paul of the Hornets.
In the January game, Paul averaged 20.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 11.9 assists and 2.4 steals per game, leading the Hornets to an excellent record of 11 wins and 5 losses.
After head coach Scott dismissed get out of class, Paul tried his best in every game in order to prove his strength, hoping to single-handedly lead the team back to the playoffs.
Although he has achieved some results, Paul's life-threatening game has great hidden dangers. It is only a matter of time before injuries occur according to his style of play.
In the original history, Paul only played more than 40 games this season before suffering a season-ending injury, and the Hornets failed to make the playoffs.
The Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month was won by Jennings of the Bucks.
This guy learned his shame and then became brave. He scored 55 points in the game against the Nets, surpassing Sun Yi's 51 points in one fell swoop, and felt proud.
In the January game, Jennings averaged 22.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.5 steals, winning the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month again.
Relying on his outstanding performance in January, Jennings overtook Curry and Evans and ranked second on the rookie list.
Some outside experts and celebrities have predicted that Jennings will overtake Sun Yi in the later stages and reach the top of the rookie list.
But this was just a flash in the pan. In the original history, Jennings would be targeted by various teams in the league in subsequent games and hit the rookie wall, resulting in a sharp decline in data, and then disappear from the fans' sight. among.
As for how Jennings will develop in the future, Sun Yizhen could not predict it. Since his arrival caused a series of butterfly effects, things in the future have changed.
There is no suspense about the Western Conference Rookie of the Month. Sun Yi won this honor again.
In the January game, Sun Yi averaged 18.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game, winning the Western Conference Rookie of the Month award.
After the awards were presented, each team began to prepare for the competition in February.
Since the free trade market will close around February 15, players who have hopes for the playoffs have seized the time to strengthen their lineups.
Before this, the Cavaliers traded for Jamison with nothing, which made some teams competing for the championship start to feel insecure and find ways to strengthen.
The Dallas Mavericks took the lead and acquired Caron Butler through a trade.
Not to be outdone, other powerful teams have made a series of trade signings.
The Celtics traded for Rasheed Wallace to further improve their inside strength.
The Charlotte Bobcats are preparing for the playoffs by trading Stephen Jackson.
The Mosaic team packaged McGrady to the Knicks through a three-party trade and acquired Martin from the Kings.
…
While other teams were making trades and reinforcements, the Warriors were as stable as ever and did not make any reinforcement transactions.
Many Warriors fans are very anxious about this.
At this stage, the Warriors are only ranked seventh in the Western Conference, and it is not safe to enter the playoffs.
Without reinforcements, it will be difficult to compete with other teams in the Western Conference.
In fact, Warriors general manager Larry Riley was very active in making reinforcements in the free market, but Nelson rejected them all.
These crooked ideas in the free market are not suitable for the Warriors' system, and forcing them in will only be counterproductive.
In Nelson's view, his team only needs suitable players and does not need strong players.
The Warriors' current lineup is already very good. If they want to further improve the team's strength, they can only strengthen it through the summer free market.

Iverson's move disappointed the fans who supported him.
In order to see Iverson on the All-Star Game stage for the last time, they voted like crazy, but what they got in exchange was this result, which was a bit hard to accept.
After that, Kobe also held a press conference and stated that he would participate in the All-Star Game, but he would not be able to play for too long due to injury and would recuperate for a period of time after the All-Star Game.
The Amys were relieved when they heard the news. At least they could see their idol in the All-Star Game, who was much better than Amy next door.
