The Warriors started the game pretty well, and it was clear that the whole team was in good shape.

You can tell from the passing that the players are focused.

The Kings still tried to hit Cousins on offense, but Cousins hit Pachulia with his back, squeezed under the basket and missed the layup.

Cousins still hasn't shown enough dominance in the low post at playoff intensity.

His explosiveness has always been a weakness, and the strength is the contradictory combination of his delicate touch and strong body.

Again, James countered with the ball, this time he cut in quickly down the middle, attracted the Kings' defense, and then made a low-handed ground-hitting pass to Green, who cut in the air.

Green dodged Cousins' defense and hit a backhand layup for two points.

The Kings used a swarm of defense, but James was quick and stable on the ball, making it difficult to interfere with him.

And the Warriors' offensive running is very sharp, with tacit understanding, the swarm defense in front of them is just tickling, useless.

After two rounds of trying, Li Liang gave up letting the team use small bees and switched to one-on-one and increased intensity.

Of course, the King's priority now is to attack, to score.

Cousins failed twice on offense, and Li Liang himself tried to break through to the basket.

But the Warriors' defensive contraction is very good, and Kerr's positioning for James before the game is very simple - organize in offense, deal with Li Liang in defense, and make a final decision at critical moments.

Thompson, James, Iguodala, Green, the Warriors have the most luxurious forward defense.

Li Liang also failed to break through, followed the warriors to counterattack, and became a one-on-one king who withstood the warriors' counterattack.

The two sides went back and forth for two or three rounds, and neither side scored.

Both sides are scrambling for the tempo, the Kings want to push slowly and shoot fast, while the Warriors want to push fast and shoot fast.

The king wanted to slow down the tempo and not give them a chance to thread the needle.

The Warriors wanted to bring the king up and disrupt their offensive set-up.

The defensive intensity of both sides was very strong, and the shots were a little deformed.

Curry made a three-point shot from the outside, and under the interference of Rondo, there was a three-point no-stick.

But under the basket, Green grabbed the rebound in the front court and forced the board to hit the shot.

In the first three minutes of the game, the Kings didn't score.

The Warriors led the Kings 7-0.

The Kings' players will need to adjust to the intensity of the Western Conference Finals.

Of course, the Warriors are also adjusting to the intensity of the king.

The two sides are not top teams in defense, but the players gave their best from the first minute in order to win.

The Warriors' offense was obviously smoother, and the Kings were still waiting for Li Liang to open up.

Li Liang missed two three-point attempts from the outside.

But he made one foul each for Curry and James in defense.

It's his old job.

Still didn't score, Li Liang held the ball outside and forced the basket, but was surrounded by the Warriors!

Li Liang gave the ball to Cousins, who was on the bottom line, and Cousins received the ball strongly, but the person got up and the ball was gone.

The ball was slapped off by James!

Scoring suddenly became very difficult.

The whole game looks like it's going back to 10 years ago, when every goal in the playoffs was extremely difficult.

It wasn't that easy for the Warriors to score, and the Kings turned around and defended the Warriors for 24 seconds.

Curry finally forced a shot and missed, and Li Liang grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Li Liang wanted to advance quickly, but Green and Thompson came up to close the circle, and Li Liang could only pass the ball to Gordon.

Gordon broke through the middle with the ball himself, made a layup under the basket, and yelled!

The ball didn't score......

Gordon doesn't care if the ball goes in, he must yell when he gets to the basket.

In this way, the referee heard him yelling so badly, maybe he would give a foul penalty or something, try his luck.

Obviously, tonight's referee put the game on a big scale.

There was a lot of physical contact, falling to the ground, pushing and shoving, and the referee did not blow a foul.

It seems that the league just wants this game to be a little more intense and brutal.

Otherwise, there would really be no spectators to watch the game.

For 4 minutes, the Kings did not score.

Then, Curry got the rebound and quickly counterattacked, and Green ran back to the basket and caught the ball and made a layup.

Then, Li Liang was caught by three people on the line and gave Rondo, and the empty three-point shot did not hit.

In the counterattack, Curry passed the ball to James, who was following him, and James received the ball and shot directly from the outside three-point line and hit it!

12：0！

Under the high-intensity defense, the Warriors finally seized the opportunity of the king's distraction, tore open their defensive gaps, and dealt the king a heavy blow.

Oracle Arena was jubilant, opening a 12-0 game, and the Kings struggled to move an inch.

Li Liang gestured to the referee and asked for a timeout.

During the pause, Li Liang calmed down the mood of the players and asked everyone not to look at the score, but to pay attention to the game itself.

Li Liang did not say "give me the ball", but carefully arranged the tactics, asking Cousins to go to a higher position to cover the strategy, not to block the low post.

Cousins proved to be a threat to the Warriors in the low post.

After the timeout, Li Liang held the ball and he knew his team needed to score.

So, with the blocking and dismantling cover of Cousins in the high position, Li Liang directly accelerated into the basket!

Opened the [Rain Man's Umbrella]!

Consuming 500 anger points, Green, who assists in defense through the inside line, splits his head and covers his face is a violent buckle!

Li Liang's goal was really groundbreaking, and Green couldn't stop it at all.

The buckle was so brutal that Green's whole body flew out.

He also looked at the referee for a foul, but the referee told him that it was good not to blow you for a defensive foul.

This goal broke the scoring deadlock of the Kings and relaxed the hanging hearts of the Kings players.

Then, Li Liang made a steal in the midcourt [Death Entanglement] and assisted Gordon to make a fast-break layup.

Seeing this, Cole immediately called a timeout, not giving the king a chance to rise at all.

Obviously, Cole was very cautious.

A player like Li Liang, if you are not careful, the result will be a miserable death.

The Warriors have had such a fantastic start, and they have to take advantage of it.

The rest of the Kings are obviously not used to the intensity and atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals enough, and Li Liang needs to bring them out little by little.

There is one exception to this one – Rajon Rondo.

After the timeout, the Kings' defensive intensity took to the next level and began to make unlimited defensive changes.

Facing the Warriors' early replacement of Iguodala, Li Liang also replaced Cousins and replaced Barnes, small against small.

On the Kings' side, any point can handle every player of the Warriors.

By constantly changing defenses, he compressed the Warriors' passing space and forced the Warriors into one-on-one singles.

The Warriors were in a mess for a while, and the ball couldn't move.

James finally caught the ball and made a strong shot that missed.

Li Liang got the rebound in the backcourt, and passed to Rondo after being caught in the high post.

Rondo went straight to the basket, pinched the ball with one hand, faced Green with a high-tossing shot, and hit the board!

Rondo's throw, to be honest, the shooting percentage was really not good.

But in this kind of competition, he has a lot of experience and dares to shoot, and he can also hit.

After Kerr got off Pachulia, the Warriors' inside height went down all of a sudden.

Therefore, the Kings began to try more inside breakthroughs to bombard the Warriors' three-second zone.

However, the Warriors with Green and James are not so easy to get into.

James was in the Heat back then, because the Heat lacked inside, so he often rushed to the No. 4 and No. 5 positions as a defensive center.

Now that the Warriors have a small lineup, James is a jack-of-all-trades.

Kings Gordon and Barnes hit the basket several times, but they didn't succeed.

Instead, the Warriors took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack and scored in a row again.

In the first quarter of the game, the scene was extremely motivating and the intensity was very high.

The Warriors still relied on their more tacit and fluid coordination on the offensive end, as well as stronger individual player ability, to take the lead.

At 26:15, the Warriors opened by 11 points ahead of the Kings.

It was a fantastic start for the Warriors.

You must know that Li Liang only scored 4 points in the first quarter, which is really another person from Li Liang, who scored 20 points in the semifinals and the first round in the first quarter.

The king's attack became fragmented and completely unprovoked.

What's more, the warriors seem to have a sense of oppression against the king.

This is something James has never experienced in the past.
