On March 16, the Warriors came to New Orleans to challenge the Hornets away from home.
The Hornets are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference, with the same record as the Grizzlies.
If the Hornets lose this game, they will fall out of the top eight.
Therefore, the Hornets take this game very seriously and will go all out to win.
After the game started, the Hornets' defensive strategy was very clear, resolutely double-teaming Sun Yi and limiting his scoring.
Sun Yi used every trick to pass the ball to the best position in the face of double teams, assisting his teammates to score.
The Hornets' defensive strategy worked well. After the first quarter, Sun Yi only scored 4 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
After the start of the second quarter, Sun Yi began to play without the ball. As long as he received the pass, he would directly pull up or shoot a fadeaway jumper.
Sun Yi suddenly changed his offensive method, catching the Hornets off guard and shooting at a very high rate.
Hornets head coach Monty Williams looked at the situation on the sidelines and was helpless.
Ariza, who originally had high hopes, was unable to limit Sun Yi's scoring.
As for other Hornets players, they were also unable to guard Sun Yi.
He is taller than Sun Yi but not as fast as him, and shorter than Sun Yi, he cannot interfere with his shooting.
Monty Williams couldn't think of a way and could only let Sun Yi do whatever he wanted.
On the field, Paul looked at Sun Yi who was killing everyone, and he became more determined to escape from the West.
With this guy Sun Yi here, he will never be able to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.
Unless you can't beat it, join!
On the other side, Sun Yi did not expect that his behavior would once again leave a psychological shadow on Paul, and he still concentrated on playing basketball.
Now that the whole team is helping him score points, Sun Yi cannot help but appreciate it. Whenever there is an opportunity, he will shoot decisively and turn into a ruthless scoring machine.
Facing the Warriors' powerful offensive firepower, the Hornets were not completely defeated.
Under Paul's organization, the Hornets' offense was not affected, they played very smoothly and did not allow the Warriors to widen the point difference.
At the end of the first half, the Warriors led by 8 points entering the second half.
Just when everyone speculated that this game would go down to the last minute, the Warriors suddenly exerted force and changed the situation on the court.
The Hornets' inside line is the weakest among the top eight in the Western Conference. West and Okafor have very poor frame protection abilities and are often beaten by other teams.
The Warriors took advantage of the Hornets' weakness. Chandler and David Lee blocked the inside, creating opportunities for Sun Yi, who was running without the ball, to grab offensive rebounds.
The effect was very good. Bledsoe and Moreau shot hard from the outside, and Sun Yi was able to grab most of the rebounds.
Even during an attack, Sun Yi tipped in and dunked Okafor, once again enriching his collection of dunks.
The Warriors relied on their rush-shooting tactics in the third quarter to hit an offensive climax and widen the point difference to double digits.
After that, Nelson replaced Teacher Tony, Shane Battier and others on the court to strengthen defense and not give the Hornets a chance to make a comeback.
Facing the Warriors' iron-clad defense, the Hornets' offense was severely restricted and unable to narrow the point difference, and could only accept the defeat.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Hornets 108-86, winning their sixth consecutive victory.
Sun Yi once again scored 42 points in this game, plus a triple-double of 15 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
After the game, Sun Yi was not complacent about his recent performance.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
After returning to the hotel, Sun Yilei couldn't help but go to the gym for additional training to improve his strength.
…
The next day, news about Sun Yi once again dominated the front page of the sports section.
After scoring 40+ points in seven consecutive games, Sun Yi's scoring average has increased significantly, and he is only 0.2 points behind Durant at the top of the list.
If Sun Yi continues to score 40+ and Durant cannot improve his scoring average, then Sun Yi will overtake Durant to top the scoring list.
The battle between Sun Yi and Durant for the scoring title has become heated again.
In addition, Sun Yi's performance in March was so incredible that he surpassed Derrick Rose in the MVP rankings and temporarily ranked first.
The topic of the MVP battle between Sun Yi and Rose has also been heated up by fans.
Some experts and celebrities smelled the smell of money, and shamelessly took advantage of Sun Yi's popularity and expressed their opinions on these topics online.
Faced with the public opinion from the outside world, Sun Yi ignored it and concentrated on attacking his eighth consecutive 40+.
On March 20, the Warriors faced the Clippers at home.
At this stage, the Clippers are ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference and have missed the playoffs, so they can safely win a high pick.
The fans in the audience were very worried that the Clippers would not be able to withstand the fierce firepower of the Warriors, causing the game to enter garbage time early, which would prevent Sun Yi from scoring 40+.
In order to make the Clippers last longer, the home fans "rebeled" and cheered for the Clippers.
"The Clippers hold on! Give Sun Yi a chance to play!"
"Come on, Blake! Don't let Sun Yi clock out in the third quarter!"
"Hey! It's really useless. The Clippers are really a piece of shit that we can't help!"
…
Griffin, who was playing on the field, heard the harsh cheers and was stabbed in the heart.
Can you be a human being?
Originally, he had imagined that he could end Sun Yi's consecutive 40+ points, but his teammates were too weak to guard against that hateful guy.
Just as Shafen was thinking wildly, Sun Yi completed the steal, quickly advanced towards the frontcourt, pulled up directly outside the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer.
After scoring this goal, Sun Yi scored 41 points in the game.
In the auditorium, the fans cheered and shouted MVP slogans in unison.
On the court, the Clippers players had no fighting spirit.
On the other hand, the Warriors players are very motivated.
Comparing the two, the results are self-evident.
After three quarters, the Warriors led the Clippers by 30 points, and the fourth quarter officially became garbage time.
Relying on Sun Yi's 40+ again, the Warriors maintained their lead until the end.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 115-88, winning their seventh consecutive victory.
Sun Yi was undoubtedly elected as the best player of the game.
In the 30 minutes he played, he scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.
After this game, Sun Yi has scored 40+ in eight consecutive games, ranking fifth in history, and is only one game away from catching up with Jordan and Kobe's nine consecutive 40+ games.
The Warriors' next game has already attracted the attention of major TV stations, media reporters and fans.
League commissioner David Stern immediately mobilized resources to adjust the game to a national broadcast and vigorously promoted it.
Two days later, with the fans' high expectations, the game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies officially started.
This high-profile battle did not disappoint fans.
Sun Yi was in excellent form, scoring 44 points and leading the Warriors to defeat the Grizzlies.
Nine consecutive games with 40+ points tied the record shared by Kobe and Jordan, ranking fourth in history.
Kobe smiled after watching the game in front of the TV.
"Boy, you played well. I will personally end your record!" Black Mamba showed his fangs.
The Warriors will travel to Staples Center to play the Los Angeles Lakers in their next game.
