Chapter 641: Immortals Fight
The margin was chased to just one point in the space of five minutes.
During this time, Li Liang used the [Three-point Shooting Rate Sticker], and he took off the [Iron Body] suit to make his shooting feel more stable.
Although this makes him suffer in the interior confrontation, Bogut does not have the ability to attack on his own, so he does not need to worry too much.
After being chased to just one point, the Warriors didn't call a timeout.
At this point, Curry showed his true colors as a superstar this season, he didn't call for pick-and-roll, but used the dribble directly from the outside to outmaneuver Hill!
Then he went inside, faced the double encirclement of Li Liang and Granger, skillfully passed, and then a low-handed left-handed high toss layup, and hit the board at a very small angle!
Not only that, Li Liang was also whistled for a defensive foul for knocking down Curry, and Curry had to add a penalty.
This time Curry can be regarded as avenging the arrow that has just been stolen.
With a free throw shot, 95-99, the Warriors led by four points.
It was a very bleeding goal, and if it didn't go in again, and the Pacers counterattacked, the situation would be reversed.
Curry used his personal ability to stop the decline, and then the Warriors boldly surrounded Li Liang, Li Liang distributed the ball to Finson, and Finson missed the three-point shot in the bottom corner on the right side.
The Warriors fought back, and Hill fouled directly to organize Iguodala's fast break, and he knew he couldn't get the Warriors' momentum back up.
Kerr also realized that putting Bogut on the court was not something to do against the Pacers' small lineup.
Finally, Kerr is starting to put out his small lineup.
Green and Thompson reappeared, and the Warriors' most efficient small lineup of the season was presented to the audience: Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes, Iguodala.
So far, the Warriors' roster has outscored their opponents by 23 points per 100 possessions.
Some teams simply can't make up for the Warriors to use this highly efficient roster and have died early.
Will the walkers be able to hold on?
With small lineups on both sides, it's a collision between new basketball ideas.
At this time, Li Liang turned out to be the tallest person on the field, 2.06 meters!
Li Liang suddenly felt that he was back in high school, when he relied on his height to play in China.
With a height of more than 2 meters, it is definitely a giant level in China's ordinary high school.
It's just that these people on the court now are not weak chicken classmates in high school, they are the most terrible basketball team in the NBA.
The core advantage of the five-small lineup is that the offense is full of space to open up, and there is no offensive blind spot.
From point guard to center, everyone can dribble, break through, and shoot threes, which makes opponents unguardable.
Defensively, Wuxiao has strong flexibility and aggressiveness, and can carry out high-intensity defense in a short time.
The biggest weakness of the five small is of course the inside line, but now the league has no low-ranking beasts that can destroy the opponent's defense by themselves.
The two sides began a-for-tat offensive and defensive confrontation.
Curry dribbled past half court, gave the ball to Green, and then immediately interspersed inside.
Thompson correspondingly does an outward run pull.
Curry's defensive appeal is the core engine of the Warriors' offense.
Hill had to follow Curry closely, and Curry still used cover to get out.
Every cover for the Warriors means that there are two offensive opportunities with the ball.
Curry and the cover man can use the moment of cross-blocking to find the gap in the opponent's defense.
No matter how tight the defense is, it will be torn apart.
Curry made a lap and when he cut in from the middle, there was already a huge space in the bottom right corner of the Pacers.
Green passes straight to the corner, Iguodala runs there, catches the ball and makes a three-point shot, hit!
"Marking! Keep an eye on your people! ”
Li Liang yelled, he knew he had to change to man defense.
If you continue to use the switch defense, after continuous blocking and covering, there will be mistakes, giving the opponent space to shoot in the open space.
95:102。
Before the Pacers could organize an effective counterattack, Li Liang was surrounded by three more in the high post.
This time, Thompson directly knocked the ball out of Li Liang's hand, causing another mistake by Li Liang.
Curry countered with the ball and passed it to the fast Iguodala, who dunked with one hand!
The Warriors' offense is really like a tide, and combined with their aggressive defense, they can quickly open up the gap in a short period of time.
At 95:104, the Oracle Arena boiled again, and there were still 6 minutes left before the end of the game, and the score difference returned to 9 points.
Bird wanted to call a timeout, but Li Liang stretched out his hand to the sidelines, signaling not to take a timeout.
Li Liang dribbled past half court, and Thompson had already posted it.
Iguodala and Green were eyeing each other.
I thought that Li Liang was going to play one by himself, but I didn't expect Li Liang to suddenly have a [one-shot soul], a very beautiful ground-hitting pass, passing between the three, Granger just followed in the middle, received Li Liang's pass, and scored an easy layup under the basket.
Under the basket is Curry, and there is no way to stop Granger.
97:104, and then the Warriors missed a three-point shot from the outside, and Thompson wouldn't always be so accurate.
Li Liang got the backcourt rebound and advanced steadily again.
Because of the last pass, the Warriors' defense didn't dare to stick so tightly to Li Liang.
However, Li Liang suddenly broke through from the middle with the ball and attracted three defenders at once.
Li Liang divided the ball again and gave it to JR Smith on the wing.
Smith catches the ball, shoots a mid-range jumper, and hits again.
At 99:104, the Pacers chased 5 points.
The goal puzzled Cole on the sidelines.
Li Liang broke through and let him break through, why do you want three people to wrap up?
Kerr's defensive strategy is to encircle Li Liang outside the three-point line, and if he wants to break through, it will be OK for someone to help defend inside.
The Warriors players also communicated with each other that the ball just now shouldn't have been guarded like this.
Before the results could be discussed, the Warriors were caught up in the Pacers' extreme one-on-one man-to-man defense on offense.
This is a playoff-level defense, all focused, and Li Liang is like a prison behind him, roaring constantly.
Green is Li Liang's counterpart, Green said: "You guard against your people." ”
Li Liangtou didn't reply, and said, "It's enough to deal with you." ”
After saying that, Curry killed from the middle, Li Liang went over to help defend, and Curry made a beautiful pass to the vacant Green.
Green received the ball and was about to dunk, but Li Liang had already turned around and hit the ball out of the bottom line.
Throw-in, or the Warriors' possession.
However, there are only 4 seconds left in the attacking time.
"I've said enough." Li Liang said to Green.
This beautiful one-defense and two-defense made the Warriors' offense fail.
Serving from the bottom line, the Warriors wanted to use a deception tactic, but Li Liang saw through it, and finally Curry came around and forced a three-point shot under Li Liang's defense...... As a result, the ball went in!
Curry hit a three-pointer in the bottom left corner with little space under Li Liang's tight defense!
The Oracle Arena exploded in an instant, and Curry's shot was so amazing and beautiful.
Li Liang's defense has reached the extreme, but ......
But everyone hasn't come back to their senses yet, and they're still immersed in Curry's magical three-pointer.
Li Liang, who should have felt lost due to the failure of the defense, had already run past half the court and received a pass from Hill.
At the edge of the Golden State Warriors floor LOGO, you can shoot directly into three points!
Ball ICBMs generally cut through the sky, and then hollow into the net!
It was just five seconds since Curry hit that magical three-pointer.
The Oracle Arena fell silent again.
Immortal fights, it's really fairy fights.
