On February 8, the Warriors challenged the Digital People in back-to-back games.
At this stage, the Digital People's team ranks third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 18 wins and 6 losses.
They don't want to lose any games at the moment.
Just because the Numbers Team is only one win away from the second-place Bulls in the Eastern Conference.
In addition, the temptation of defeating the Warriors is too great. You can instantly reach the top and gain both fame and fortune.
The Numbers Team will not miss such a good opportunity. After all, there is only one chance to face the Warriors in this shortened season.
The Warriors, regarded as the big boss by every team, will naturally not take it lightly. If you want to defeat them, you must pay a heavy price!
…
At the pre-game tactical meeting, Coach Nelson made personnel adjustments, announcing that Billups, Battier and others would not play tonight, and moved Jimmy Butler and Speights into the rotation.
Such a small rotation adjustment will not have much impact on the Warriors' overall strength.
Immediately afterwards, Nelson announced the starting players for tonight's game.
Sun Yi and Curry are definitely the unbeatable starting duo.
The other three are Clay, David Lee and Whiteside.
For Clay and Whiteside to become the starters, this is something that most Warriors players did not expect.
As for Sun Yi, Curry and others, they already knew the inside information and were not surprised.
Old Nelson looked around, glanced at the players with different expressions, and then gave his reasons for arranging the troops in this way.
"Next we will face a devilish schedule of three games in four days. I think everyone does not want to lose, so we must maintain a good competitive state.
But without rotation adjustments, the status of Tony and other veterans cannot be guaranteed. After all, they are no longer 18 or 19-year-old young guys. They can only reasonably control their playing time and let them play their role at critical moments.
I have informed Tony and the others about this in advance, and they all agreed.
In addition, you don’t need to envy Kelai and Hassan. There will be many opportunities like this in the future. As long as you work hard, I will also give you opportunities. "
After Nelson finished explaining, he did not forget to paint a picture for the players.
Sun Yi sneered at this kind of capitalist behavior!
After this episode, the theme began. Nelson asked assistant coach Cole to distribute the collected digital team information to the players.
Sun Yi took a quick look and found that the Digital Team was a bit strong this season.
Their rise is not much slower than that of the Warriors, and they have become a powerful team in the Eastern Conference in just a few years.
"Now that you've read the information, I'll start laying out tactics..."
Nelson clapped his hands and told the players to keep quiet, and then assigned Sun Yi and others their respective tasks, as well as offensive and defensive tactics.
After laying out the tactics, Nelson took the players out of the locker room and went to the competition venue to warm up.
After a series of pre-match activities, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen.
The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is Curry, Clay, Sun Yi, David Lee, and Whiteside.
The starting lineup sent by the Numbers Team is Holiday, Morrow, Yingodala, Brand, and Cousins.
The referee blows the whistle to signal the starting players from both sides to come on.
Sun Yi stood up from the bench, walked slowly to the sidelines, briefly moved his body, and then strode towards the center circle.
At this moment, the system's prompt voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Release a temporary mission: challenge the three giants of the Digital Team!"
"Goal 1: In the game against the Digital Team, the host steals Holiday at least 2 times; Reward: Purple sneaker fragment +1, 50,000 training points."
"Goal 2: In the game against the Digital People, the host will hit at least 10 pull-up jumpers in front of Yingodala; reward: +1 purple wristband fragment, 10x training bonus card +1, 100,000 training points."
"Goal 3: In the game against the Digital Team, the host blocks Cousins at least 2 times; reward: purple hairband fragment +1, 10x training bonus card +1, 100,000 training points."
"Ding! Additional rewards for completing all goals: badge raffle ticket fragment +1, advanced nutrient solution +100, 20x training bonus card +1, 200,000 training points."
After a series of system prompts ended, Sun Yi walked towards the center circle with a smile.
Arriving at the center circle, Sun Yi took the initiative and hugged former Warriors general Morrow.
"Anthony, try your best tonight, I'm really looking forward to you being able to create pressure for me." Sun Yi joked with a smile.
"Boss Sun, we will not let you down, just take a look!" Moro replied confidently.
After a friendly exchange, Sun Yi returned to his seat and waited for the game to start.
Not long after, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air.
Cousins jumped up hard and took the lead in grabbing the basketball, giving the Digital Team the first opportunity to attack.
Sun Yi, who was sprinting towards the Digital Team's half, immediately stopped and quickly turned around and retreated back to his defensive area.
During this process, the system prompt voice sounded in his mind again.
"Ding! The bond combination [Wild Cat Trident] is activated!"
With the effect bonus of the bond combination, Sun Yi became more confident in winning this game.
When the Digital Man team attacked, Holiday dribbled the ball forward while making tactical gestures to direct his teammates to move.
Cousins immediately ran out and cooperated with the pick-and-roll.
Holiday used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Curry's defense, broke into the high post area on the right, saw his teammates running out of opportunities, and quickly hit the ball to the center.
After completing the pick-and-roll, Cousins accelerated and cut towards the basket. After receiving the pass, he came to the front of the penalty area. Seeing that David Lee and others had rushed back to the basket to defend, he immediately stopped and jumped, and threw the basketball in his hand.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
0:2!
The ball transitions and the Warriors attack.
Curry quickly advanced to the frontcourt. When he was still one step away from the three-point line, Whiteside took the initiative and ran up to set up a pick-and-roll.
The Digital Man team immediately changed defense, and Cousins quickly ran to Curry to defend.
At the same time, Holiday used his strong body to intercept Whiteside near the free throw line.
Seeing this situation, the primary school students made tactical gestures of singles, preparing to use their small skills to make a big difference.
After his teammates opened up the space, Curry made continuous crossovers, shaking Cousins' center of gravity, quickly stepped back and exited the three-point line, and immediately took off to shoot.
Cousins reacted and immediately rushed to interfere.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
In the penalty area, David Lee unknowingly slipped to the basket, grabbed the offensive rebound and tipped in for two points, opening the scoring for the Warriors.
In the transition between offense and defense, Holiday dribbled to the frontcourt and once again started a pick-and-roll with Cousins.
Curry quickly retreated, bypassing Cousins to block Holiday's breakthrough route.
Holiday bypassed the screen, broke through one step inside the three-point line, and shot a long jumper.
"when!"
The basketball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced out, missing the target!
Sun Yi, who retreated to the basket, grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack.
Curry, Clay and others followed the third-line fast break route and quickly headed towards the Digital Team's half court.
The Digital Team was well prepared for this and retreated very quickly.
Sun Yi rushed to the free throw line and was double-teamed by Yingoda La and Holiday.
At this time, Cousins and others have not retreated to the inside and cannot allow Sun Yi to rush to the basket and score easily.
Sun Yi faced the double team and patiently handled the ball. He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye and immediately passed the ball.
Outside the three-point line on the left, the unguarded Curry received the pass. He did not waste Sun Yi's pass and hit a three-pointer with his hands.
5:2!
The Warriors overtook the score and turned the situation on the court around!
