221 Dark Arrow
1/
Open guns are easy to block, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.
When Yang Yiming was still only staring at Durant's dark iron heavy sword, the dark arrow shot by Stephen Curry came unexpectedly.
When the Rockets thought that only Durant was their only enemy, the Warriors shooters led by Curry taught them a life lesson.
Yang Yiming also wanted to close the score, and after re-entering the court, he relied on personal singles to tie the score in the final stage, but he didn't expect the real performance to start by the Warriors No. 30.
Dribbling from behind, flashing past Eric Gordon, jumping from the three-point line, hitting.
The blocker faced the double bag, and the cat drilled through the gap and hit an easy layup.
Playing up, playing Gerald Green, shaking the opponent to lose his center of gravity and throwing.
Hit, Green violated the shooting cylinder and added a free throw.
After hitting the free throw, the Warriors once again closed the gap to 30 points!
Coach Mike D'Antoni had to call a halt to the game, bringing in James Harden and Clint Capela early, and paired with defensive stalwarts like Ariza and PJ Tucker, hoping that the main lineup would rely on offense to stop the bleeding.
But Curry opens, and the Warriors open it as a team.
Curry, who was full of confidence after the timeout, didn't even think about it, and just stepped on the halfway line and only took two steps, facing Harden is a long-range three-pointer. The three-point trajectory was extremely accurate, and it came to the center of the basket and the net. The audience almost stood up! Unfortunately, the basketball came out of the hoop, and the Warriors fans waiting to celebrate couldn't help but sigh - but before the sigh could be spoken, a man in white was killed in the oblique stab, and the frontcourt rebound was grabbed under the dual protection of Tucker and Capela!
It's the veteran and former Finals MVP Andre Iguodala!
The home field is boiling again!
But Iguodala kept his composure in the midst of the uproar, grabbed the rebound, dodged Tucker's block, and dribbled out of the box. Curry broke free from Harden's defense and ran out of gap, and Iguodala passed the ball to Curry. Ariza added to Curry, who jumped up and hoisted the ball back to Nick Young, who was open in the bottom corner. As the crowd stood up again, Nick Young hit his only three-pointer of the game.
A little on, a little bit on.
These old proverbs are sealed in the final quarter of this contest between the Rockets and the Warriors.
Curry drew the ball to Livingston, who faked a shot from the free-throw line but aimed at Iguodala who slipped along the baseline to the basket. Livingston switched to a pass, and Iguodala received a dunk.
Iguodala dropped to the low post, PJ Tucker defended, and the Warriors were left to stand in a circle outside the three-point line. Iguodala had his back against Tucker, but he didn't do anything, and when he saw that his teammates on the outside had been in place, he saw the opportunity to distribute the ball to Nick Young in the bottom corner of the same side, and Nick Young turned to Curry at 45 degrees, Curry was bold, flying sideways through the restricted area, and found Livingston in the bottom corner of the weak side. Vacancy! But Livingston was not in a hurry to shoot, and Draymond Green, who finally crossed the halfway line, became the end point of this passing performance: he took the pass and shot the three-pointer at 45 degrees on the weak side with the ugliest shooting position of the Warriors' shooter team!
This three-point hit the biggest worry in Yang Yiming's heart: all the warriors are soldiers, every point can attack, and everyone can be a sword piercing the heart of the rocket.
Do you still want to turn the tide with offensive power? Obviously, the opponent is Dugu Jiujian, and it is the wind that overcomes and defends!
Seeing that there was only half of the fourth quarter left, the difference in points had widened to nearly 40 points, and the coaches on both sides began to deploy their troops. It's just that the head coach of the Rockets, D'Antoni, replaced all the main forces and replaced them with Yang Yiming, bringing veterans like Derrick Rose and Joe Johnson who have not played much playoff time to find their feelings; And the Warriors, seeing Kevin Durant, who was still waiting on the technical table just now, have no need to play at this moment. Coach Steve Kerr called him straight back to the bench – the opponents were all beaten into a sieve, and how much would it take to use the Darkiron epee?
Although Yang Yiming still successfully launched the player's skills for the second time, the effect of one-on-one scoring was very different from that at the end of the third quarter. In the third quarter, the Rockets were still on the runway and the Warriors went hand in hand, and every point scored by Yang Yiming could lift the rest of the people's spirits and catch up; But now, the Warriors have put on the lap of the rocket. No matter how Yang Yiming scored, how he dragged his tired steps to catch a step, the warriors who were far ahead just turned their heads contemptuously, smiled, and strode up to continue to widen the gap.
Yang Yiming scored another 8 points in a row. But looking around, the people around him have long since disarmed.
The lost ground planted with the white flag has long been impossible to recover.
2/
85 to 126.
A fiasco night in Houston.
In the locker room, the people in red were silent.
Frustration isn't just written on everyone's face. Frustration, along with every pore on the loser's body, is spit into the air and freezes into ice.
Yang Yiming was one of them particularly frustrated. The course and result of this match were completely different from what he had imagined beforehand. He thought that G3 would be a watershed for both teams, and when both sides did their best and played each other in their own way, the game would be at least evenly matched, at least dark, and the sun and moon would be dark.
What about the facts? G3 did become a watershed, but it was a watershed for the Golden State Warriors to abandon their opponents; G3 really has no sun and moon, but the world of the Houston Rockets has no light.
Yang Yiming took a huge risk to win two player skill launches, and in hindsight, it was only a futile effort of a moth to fight the fire, and a clown who brought humiliation on himself.
In the frozen locker room, laughter suddenly erupted. The laughter was not a snickering from ear to ear, but a deafening laughter. In the ice cellar-like room, the laughter seemed so abrupt, like glass marbles falling on the ice, up and down, down and right, smashing loudly.
But the laugher didn't seem to be embarrassed at all, and the louder he laughed, the wilder he laughed, as if he himself had seen something comical that no one else could see.
The person who laughed was none other than the real heart of the Rockets, the bearded James Harden.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing why, but they didn't dare to speak, so they could only wait for Harden to finish laughing.
It was almost half a minute before Harden suppressed his laughter and teased as if talking to himself: "It seems like it's time to learn a lesson, and I've set my vacation ticket to Hawaii late this year." It's nerve-wracking to be like this every year – and I don't know where to get the confidence! ”
Everyone was amazed!
Harden pretended to take out his phone, dialed a call, and shouted loudly under everyone's attention: "Mom, this is James." What are you busy with? That's right, we just lost a game and we were beaten up. No, no, I'm not calling to pour bitter water, I want you to help me look at my plane ticket for next weekend to Hawaii for a vacation. ”
Everyone was even more surprised! Everyone knows that James Harden fired former professional agent Diana Day at the beginning of the year, choosing his mother, Monja Willis, to take care of his day-to-day affairs. But what he said on the phone, is it serious?!
I heard Harden say again: "You said next weekend is too early, and there is an NBA end-of-season awards ceremony to attend?" I didn't participate! The No. 1 in the regular season lost to others by 41 points in the playoffs, and the MVP had to rely on a rookie to help cut the score. You said you were going to the ceremony, didn't you slap me in the face? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and then realized that Harden's laughter and phone calls were fake, and they were all intentionally pointed at and scolded by the speaker and the listener!
I only heard Harden holding the phone and laughing: "Haha, said I didn't pursue it?" I can't wait for the season to end and go fishing and sunning in the nightclubs! Except for that rookie Yang, aren't we all just pursuing these pursuits! ”
This time, everyone understood!
