Chapter 215: Warrior Buster

The Warriors' third-quarter scoring drought led them to start the final quarter with a 10-point deficit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As the "culprit" who passed the cold touch to his teammates, Curry still felt cold after he came on the court in the fourth quarter. The Lakers made a mistake in defense and gave Curry an open three-point opportunity, which he didn't even grasp.

Three-point ability was temporarily sealed, and Curry had to focus on passing and playmaking. But even if the primary school students who feel bad and only rely on breakthroughs and passes to threaten their opponents, they still refuse to be honest, dribbling all kinds of crotch + changing hands behind their backs, and it is super difficult to pass the ball without looking at people.

The fans of Oracle Arena were refreshed, but Wharton Jr. was terrified. Although Curry has been playing more and more vigorously this season, he can't be used to it as an acting head coach. Now that the team is still lagging behind, the organizational defender, who is the brain of the team, should play steadily!

He has spoken to Curry more than once about this, but looking at Curry now, he obviously didn't take his words to heart.

Although it is now the fourth quarter, although the team is still behind, Curry still dares to play like this on the court, which shows that he is very open in his heart and does not have the slightest sense of tension. Maybe it was last season's win over the Cavaliers that gave him that confidence, or maybe it was the fact that he has only lost three games so far this season that made him more confident in himself, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he can play better in this mentality.

Curry didn't feel good, and the Warriors' offensive focus naturally shifted to another person in the "Splash Brothers." Klay Thompson spent a lot of energy on the defensive end in the first three quarters, and while the restriction on the wind didn't have much effect, it also took a lot of energy out of him.

However, Thompson scored 9 points on the offensive end, and the offensive firepower that had been suppressed for a long time gave the Lakers a shocking effect once it was released.

On three consecutive offenses, Thompson hit all of his shots, and he hit a three-pointer that was farther than the other.

After just three round-trips, the Warriors chased the deficit to just three points.

In most previous games, Curry clocked out in the third quarter because the opponent could give too little counterattack. But tonight against the Lakers, even in the fourth quarter, the Warriors are still behind. The reason for this situation, although the Lakers are not related to ordinary teams, the Warriors' previous laziness on both offensive and defensive ends is also a very important reason.

However, regardless of the reason why the Warriors are falling behind right now, there are actually few teams that can force the Warriors into such a situation this season. While fans want the Warriors to crush their opponents every game and Curry clocks out in three quarters every game, Walton Jr., as acting head coach, doesn't want that.

If the regular season does not experience this kind of anxiety and even long-term suppression, then how can it cope with normal when it comes to the playoffs and finals?

A strong team should not only play a tailwind, otherwise it is not qualified to be called a strong team at all. Being able to withstand the pressure when the wind is headwinding, and finally fight back, is the real strong team.

Fortunately, in the Warriors' perennial winning team, there are also people who can withstand the pressure in the headwind and fight back strongly. Klay Thompson is exactly that kind of person.

Yi Feng was hit three three-pointers in a row by Thompson in front of him, and it was impossible not to be ashamed.

Although he admires Thompson's marksmanship, it doesn't mean that he likes Thompson performing it in front of him.

If you are unhappy, you will do it, and you will get it back soon if you lose face!

This is the basketball culture in the United States, and Yi Feng is increasingly influenced by this culture, and he can't wait to respond to the answer-ball.

There is no need for people to cover, and there is no need to run, Yi Feng faced Thompson, and suddenly held the ball and pulled out three points! With such a naked forcible eating, Thompson has no way at all!

He thought to himself: Such a willful shot, you are amazing if you can touch the basket!

As a result, he looked back and saw that the ball did not touch the basket, but it passed directly through the basket!

Such a strong answer-ball made Thompson also look ugly. Looking back, he wanted to respond with a three-pointer, but the intention was too obvious, and he was interfered with by Yi Feng.

Thompson's face stinks, but then there are things that break him even more. Yi Feng scored a goal again in the same way, in the same place!

Immediately after the Warriors made a mistake, Curry passed the ball without looking at anyone, and passed directly to Yi Feng - Yi Feng predicted Curry's passing route, suddenly appeared to intercept his pass, and then quickly went down to make a layup.

Yi Feng's personal 8-0 mini-climax made the Warriors fall behind by 11 points, and Wharton Jr. quickly called a timeout.

When Thompson returned to the bench, he angrily threw the towel that someone had handed him to wipe his sweat onto the ground, not knowing whether he was angry with himself or dissatisfied with Curry's mistake. In short, Thompson, who has always been expressionless and comparable to San Antonio's two "facial paralysis", was rarely angry.

After the timeout, Curry finally relented a little and stopped doing those unwatchable passes.

Angry Thompson is terrifying, because his hand feels equally angry to the point of exploding. The Warriors' mature game system, coupled with his own rich and flexible positioning, always gets a chance to shoot, and sometimes although the opportunity is not good, his explosive touch can also make the ball obediently throw into the arms of the basket.

He was able to catch the ball and jump, force a twist in the air, and then shoot the ball into the basket; It can also hit the ball with extremely irregular shooting gestures when the center of gravity is unstable; You can even shoot from a negative angle when you are forced out of bounds!

Thompson hit three more three-pointers, and he had already scored 18 points after hitting six three-pointers in the fourth quarter. Although it is still some distance from his own NBA record of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter, hitting 6 three-pointers in a single quarter is already very scary.

Even so, however, the Warriors are still behind. Because they encountered an easy wind that broke out the whole game.

Thompson was able to use his explosive touch to shoot three-pointers in a variety of positions, while Yi Feng was a one-shot move. He just uses a dry-pulled, non-stop ** opponent!

Although Thompson knew how he was going to shoot, he couldn't prevent it! What's even more hateful is that with such a difficult shot, it is easy to shoot accurately!

The fourth quarter passed little by little in the midst of the two opposing pairs at the No. 2 position, but the Warriors still trailed by a significant margin. Their losing streak this season seems to have come unexpectedly.

With 3:21 left in the game, the Lakers led the Warriors by eight points at 114:106.

The suspense of the game is still there, but the whole Warriors team feels as if they are about to roll over at home. Because they were strongly suppressed by Yi Feng for a whole game, even if Curry and Thompson took turns to shoot, one shot 5 three-pointers, and the other shot 7 three-pointers, they still lost to Yi Feng, who was completely rampant.

This league of champions has changed dramatically on a psychological level at the most critical moment of the game. And this change is in a negative direction! Wharton Jr. saw that something was wrong, but after all, because he was young, he was not sure what was going on.

This kind of psychological fluctuation similar to cowardice before fighting makes the Warriors players subconsciously think that they are losing to the Lakers, so their performance will naturally not be much better.

The most obvious manifestation was that after returning from a timeout, Draymond Green made a clear passing error and sent the ball directly into Kobe's hands.

The Lakers seized the opportunity and scored two more points to stretch the margin to 10 points.

Draymond Green's handling of the ball so casually made Wharton Jr. jump to his feet on the court and shout "calm down" on the sidelines.

Fortunately, Curry still kept calm at this time, scored a basket under the basket, and scored two points to stop the bleeding for the time being.

But Yi Feng obviously won't stop there, victory is already in sight, and he wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue! After making a foul, he made two free throws to continue to consolidate the Lakers' lead.

The Warriors' offense was then nearly defended by the Lakers for a 24-second violation, and Curry hit a lucky three-pointer at the buzzer in the final minute.

Yi Feng didn't want the Warriors to go through such a balloon momentum, forcefully smash into the basket, endure the pain of his ribs being held up by Andrew Bogut, and press him to smash and dunk.

Such a strong dunk also earned a penalty by the way. Bogut received his sixth foul and was sent off. Taking advantage of the free throws, Wharton Jr. replaced Harrison Barnes for a layup, plus Curry, Thompson, Iguodala and Green to form a "Death Five" lineup.

But this set of point-chasing weapons failed to save the Warriors tonight. Iguodala was entangled with Kobe Bryant throughout the game, and although he didn't let Kobe score many points, he also sacrificed his firepower on the offensive end. Coupled with the psychological influence, his shot at that time was ineffective, and he could no longer find the crosshairs tonight.

The same goes for Draymond Green, who has to defend with all his might and play with playmaking, so how much energy he has to go offensive. And his three-point ability is not too good, and he was a little flustered at the last moment, and he was also unreliable.

Time ran out little by little, and the Lakers finally defeated the Warriors for the second time this season at Oracle Arena with a score of 123-112!

The Warriors, who have been invincible this season, have flipped twice at home, and they are facing the same opponent! After yesterday's loss to the Nuggets, the Warriors returned to their home court tonight and lost again to make their first losing streak this season. This is a big blow to them who are aiming to set a new record in the league's regular season.

The Warriors rolled over in a row, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

If it is said that losing at the Nuggets' home court, on the Denver Plateau, was accidentally overturned in the gutter, it is understandable that such a strong Warriors team lost.

But the Warriors, who returned to their home court, faced the Lakers and ushered in a losing streak! And this is already the second time the Warriors have lost to the Lakers this season! That's a bit of a stretch.

Looking back at the Warriors' two losses against the Lakers, people were shocked to find that although there were many reasons why the Warriors lost, such as lack of concentration and lax defense, the biggest reason why they lost was because there was a rebellious existence on the opposite side.

The first time they lost to the Lakers, the Warriors got 130+, and the second time they lost to the Lakers, the Warriors also got 110+.

The reason why the Lakers were able to withstand such damage and kill them back was because Yi Feng exploded in both games.

Facing the Warriors for the first time, Yi Feng killed the Warriors desperately because he wanted to do a good job of guarding the Great Demon King, and scored a career-high 62 points.

Facing the Warriors for the second time, Yi Feng also drained his whole body energy because he had to cooperate with Agary Ranadave's momentum and publicity, and the whole game was in a violent attack mode. Especially in the final quarter, Klay Thompson, who had an explosive hand, was tough and scored 24 points in a single quarter! In the end, Yi Feng, who scored 58 points in the game, once again used his own strength to press the defending champion of the league to the ground and rub it again.

"The defending champion overturned, and the best record is hopeless?" -- The Cleveland Honest People

With LeBron James, who reached the Finals last season, failing, the Cleveland people obviously won't have a good impression of the Warriors. Now is the time to get down to the bottom of the ground, and they won't miss it.

"60 points per game! He is a well-deserved warrior nemesis! - USA Today

USA Today is the only color version of the national folio daily newspaper in the United States, and although it has not been published for a long time, its status in the United States is very high, second only to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, two century-old newspapers.

Although there are many newspapers in the United States, the average is almost 2.15 people own a newspaper, and many newspapers have an impact throughout the country and even abroad. Unfortunately, the focus is on the region. As you can see from their names, they are always named after cities, which is also a common problem in many newspapers around the world.

Although USA Today also has an international edition, he has not stepped out of this limitation and is more likely to report news in the United States. However, compared to the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and other media outlets, it covers a wider area. The benefits are clear.

New Yorkers rarely read the Los Angeles Times because New Yorkers are generally not interested in the news happening in Los Angeles, and the same is true for Angelenos.

"USA Today," however, encompasses the entire United States, whether it is Angelenos or New Yorkers, all within its audience.

A newspaper with such an influence actually put what happened in an ordinary game of a professional league on the front page, and when you think about it, it is actually abnormal.

In the past, although Yifeng's news was on "USA Today", at most it only became the headline of the sports page, and the status was obviously much lower than the front page of the entire newspaper. It's like the contrast between a class leader and a dozen group leaders.

But why would USA Today use front-page headlines to cover an ordinary regular season game for Yi Feng?

Money talks. In a capitalist society like the United States, money opens the way, and it has been tried and tested.

Obviously, this is the power of the "Indian Princess" Agari, or the power of Vivek Ranadave, the Indian IT tycoon standing behind her.

Yi Feng tried his best to play well on the court, and it was this kind of publicity that was cooperated. (To be continued.) )
