When Curry threw the ball in and out of three fingers against Anjie's defense, fans across the Moda Center were amazed. Anjie's defensive deterrence is definitely the first in the league. A figure who can make "tanks" like James fearful, his defensive ability can be known.

But the No. 30 defender, who was biting his braces, did not panic at all when facing An Jie's supplementary defense. His quick shot was just to avoid the block, not because he was scared.

How horrible Curry's three-point shot is, fans have seen it this season. It's just that they don't want Curry's unnatural shooting percentage to play against the Trail Blazers.

"It's okay, serve quickly!" Seeing that his teammates were a little stunned, An Jie took the initiative to pick up the basketball and handed it to Aldridge, signaling his teammates to quickly organize the next round of attack.

Regardless of Curry's performance, the Trail Blazers themselves can't be intimidated by Curry in the first place. If their morale is shaken, then the game is really hard to play.

Lillard was encouraged by Anjie to once again control the ball, while Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who was watching the game from the sidelines, made a fist bump gesture at the players on the court.

Rickard also found out about this detail, but he didn't know what Cole's gesture meant.

Just as Lillard dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, Curry posted it without reservation.

What impressed the Warriors the most, apart from the three-point shot, was probably Kerr's bold small lineup.

In reality, however, the Warriors players are not "small" at all. Curry 1.91m, Thomson 2.01m, Barnes 2.03m, Green 2.01m. In addition to the interior, this group of Warriors has a height advantage on the defensive end. These guys are naturally long armed, enough to allow the Warriors to form a chain defense in the backcourt.

Now, coupled with Bogut, a hard-working gate, sits on the inside, the Warriors' defense can almost be said to be airtight!

"Is it to strengthen the defense?" Ricard frowned, it seemed that Steve Cole was not going to test anything more. The Warriors' defensive intensity was instantly raised, and now Lillard is struggling to control the ball, struggling to find space to pass the ball.

Unlike other traditional defensive teams in the league, the essence of the Warriors' chain defense is to cut off the connection between offensive players to the greatest extent, force the opponent to make forced mistakes or even direct steals, and eliminate the offensive threat in the first place. Although Angel is still a bomb for the Warriors, for now, it will be very difficult for Lillard to get the ball safely into Angel's hands.

Bogut defends Anjie in front of him, and this guy who makes a lot of small moves will always make Anjie miss the scheduled receiving position. Aldridge was also accompanied by a Green all the time, which kept him from running for scoring opportunities.

With the Warriors entangled by five players, Lillard knew that he couldn't get the ball out before the 24-second offensive time was up.

In the end, he had to force a breakthrough and make a pull-up jump shot against Curry's defense. As you can see, Lillard couldn't help his team score, and the Warriors just grabbed a defensive rebound and started going full throttle!

The Warriors' seventh-pick rookie small forward Harrison Barnes rushed to the front, and Curry, who had a good sense of the ball, made a pass that was as accurate as Anjie's.

Barnes received the basketball, faced the empty basket, jumped violently, and slammed his hands hard.

The hoops made a loud noise, but the fans at the Moda Center fell silent.

"It was so fast, the Warriors' transition offense was done almost instantaneously. Oh my God, this is the closest I've ever seen to the Trail Blazers' transition offense. You're right, it's a matchup!" O'Neill complimented others in a rare way. Because in the blink of an eye, the Warriors pushed the offense to the frontcourt. This made O'Neill admire it very much.

The baseline ball was sent again, another attack by the Trail Blazers, Lillard did not hesitate this time, but passed the ball decisively, intending to let Anjie bite the score.

However, the enthusiasm of this guy Bogut even exceeded An Jie's own expectations.

Seeing that the basketball was passed in, Bogut immediately took a step forward.

"Oops!" Anjie knew that something was wrong, but by the time he was ready to fight Bogut, it was too late.

Bogut, who was tightly defended, rubbed his fingertips against the basketball that flew towards Anjie. The trajectory of the basketball changed, and the quick reaction Stephen Curry immediately picked up the basketball on the ground and launched another fast attack!

"He's fast, and only Damion can keep up with him on the entire Trail Blazers!Stephen Curry gets up to the basket with three steps!Damion tries his best to interfere, but the difference in height is a little bit!The ball scores! Beautiful layup, Damion pays the price for his impatience! Although the Warriors' offense is particularly eye-catching, let's not forget that they are also the best defensive team in the league!" Mike Brin's words box is no longer closed, because every shot of this game has been quite exciting from the beginning to the present.

The basketball that had slipped from the net slammed into the ground, the referee blew his whistle, and Rickard was the first to call a timeout.

In Oakland, countless Warriors fans cheered. In just a few minutes, the Warriors stopped a two-game winning streak on the road to the Trail Blazers!

"It's too messy!Why, you can't stand it if you raise the defensive intensity a little!?" Ricard yelled again, and Divac immediately rushed up with the tactical board to keep Ricard behind him. Continuing to yell like this, Divac was really worried that this guy would relapse from his old illness.

"Okay, that's okay, we're just a few points behind each other. Ann, I'll want you to actively play and cooperate with your teammates later. After the pick-and-roll, you can go down or stay where you are and wait for the open spot to shoot. Listen, we can't continue to play against the Warriors with this stump-style play. Maybe this move can deal with the Grizzlies, but the Warriors, absolutely not! The defensive weakness to deal with is on the inside, but this does not mean that Ann can pose a threat to the Warriors directly on the inside. No matter how big a block, Bogut's footsteps can't stop you!Let's not sit still, take the initiative, and cut the Warriors' chain defense!" Rickard finished speaking, and the originally clean tactical board had been drawn up by him.

"The Warriors are not without their flaws! Let them see what it means to be a defending champion!" Ricard said, shaking his fist.

Steve Cole, who was laying out the tactics for his players, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other side of the pitch when he heard the shouting, worthy of the defending champions, worthy of George Ricard. In this case, they were able to keep their morale high.

But sometimes, morale doesn't decide everything. Cole smiled to himself: "Rickard, if you have any tricks, you can use them!"

The timeout ended soon after, and the game resumed amid the cheers of the fans.

This time, it was no longer Lillard who received Aldridge's free throws from the baseline, but Iguodala.

On the outside, Iguodala may be the only one who has a physical advantage over his opponent. Harrison Barnes wanted to stop Iguodala's advance, but he found that this guy who didn't know what he was doing was full of power just by looking at the stats!

Iguodala crushed all the way through, but Anjie, who was competing for the position, suddenly made a block for Iguodala.

Iguodala broke through quickly, and although Barnes predicted the direction of Iguodala's breakthrough, he had to watch Iguodala pass by because of Anjie's blocking.

Bogut, who was originally brought up to defend Anjie, now has to follow in Iguodala's footsteps and retreat. However, how could Bogut's slightly sluggish pace keep up with Iguodala?

Seeing that Bogut was about to be completely breached, Barnes left Angel and went up to Iguodala. He didn't think that Iguodala, who had broken through with his back to Anjie, would find such an empty space out of sight.

Harrison Barnes is talented, but still too young. It's not the eyes that organize the attack, it's the brain!

"Fooled!" Iguodala, who was in the middle of the breakthrough, curled the corner of his mouth slightly, he dribbled under his crotch, and when his palm was picked up again, the basketball was gone!

"Back!" Bogut shouted, and Barnes turned his head to find that Angel had raised his arms ready to shoot. Just now, Iguodala's pass from under his crotch was so subtle and beautiful that Barnes didn't even notice it.

Harrison Barnes, alerted by Bogut, immediately pounced on Anjie, but Anjie was not disturbed in any way. Harrison Barnes may have a height advantage when defending outside players, but in front of Anjie, Barnes can't blind Anjie at all.

This mid-range shot with two steps inside the three-point line was safely thrown into the basket by An Jie. Although Anjie prefers to wreak havoc under the basket, his mid-range shot is actually a very lethal weapon. When he first joined the league and was not so tough, An Jie relied on his mid-range shooting to create countless opportunities.

At this point, Steve Cole, who had been calm for the whole game, began to frown. Although Anjie was just an ordinary mid-range shot, the tactical coordination of the Trail Blazers made Kerr a little worried.

Ricard's old fox seems to have found a way to break the chain defense......

With the Warriors' excellent performance, the Trail Blazers are still in a backward position. But in the next game, it may be very difficult for the Warriors to stay ahead.

Anjie high-fived Iguodala as she stepped back. This small interaction between the two is a strong signal in Cole's opinion. This represents the Trail Blazers' counterattack, and it has officially begun!
