Chapter 202: Mutual Explosion
At halftime, the Heat didn't make much adjustments.
The characteristics of the Warriors team are obvious, the key is to maintain defensive focus, and the other is the ability of the star, both teams, the Warriors have not yet entered the pinch against James, and Curry is also not good to choose the pinch attack.
In the second half, it was the Warriors who took the lead, and Klay Thompson once again bullied the Warriors' guard line for not being tall.
Although Klay Thompson usually seems to be a shooter, he is actually more comprehensive, can play a dozen with the ball, and his defense is also very good, so the Heat's guard line Alexander is not just Curry.
The key is that it is difficult to change the defense, the Heat does not have a high guard, should they change to defend the opponent's No. 4 position.
If Wade was here, this problem would be easier to solve, Wade's long arms would not make it easy for people to shoot, but unfortunately Wade is now wearing a suit.
In this case, James turned on the scoring mode again, eating Iguodala in a row while also helping to defend twice on the defensive end, causing the Warriors to make turnovers.
The Heat boss suddenly broke out, and the average team would definitely choose to strengthen the defense and pinch or something, but Warriors coach Mark Jackson made a different choice, he replaced Green, intending to replace defense with offense.
Draymond Green was reluctant, but he still didn't dare to give the coach a face, so he could only be stupid.
So Zhang Xiaotian's opponent became Barnes again, Barnes is indeed more threatening on the offensive end, but this guy is not so tough, taciturn and doesn't like physical confrontation, Zhang Xiaotian is a lot easier.
But then the Splash Brothers both came across, and the Heat immediately replaced Ray Allen without solving the problem.
Ray Allen is a master of running off the ball, and Klay Thompson knows exactly what he wants to do, but many times he just has more than enough to do.
Every now and then, Ray Allen would consider retiring and the title would be won, and it didn't seem like there was much need to stay on the pitch and be abused by the youngsters.
However, Ray Allen is still very professional and will not be negative on the court, but it is true that he is not an opponent.
With 11 seconds left in the third quarter, Zhang Xiaotian activated his skills and hit a 2-point shot on Barnes' head.
But in the end, Curry hit a three-pointer against the defender, allowing the Warriors to enter the final quarter with a lead.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian led the team, and Draymond Green also returned to the court.
After Green came on the court, he capped the broken through Money, and assisted Curry to hit another three-pointer.
"See, we're going to be stronger than you." Draymond Green, who had just been depressed for half a quarter, couldn't help but be cheap again.
"yes, then I'll give you a chance to defend me."
"Then you can feel it, boy." Draymond Green triumphant.
But immediately he felt that something was wrong, what was going on with Zhang Xiaotian's condescending tone, could he still beg to defend someone.
But he really can't help it, he is now relying on defense to mix in the team, if the defense is not good, he will definitely be replaced again.
Draymond Green was so unhappy, muttering in his mouth, he was already vowing to make a big hat Zhang Xiaotian.
After being capped, Qian Mos didn't dare to play casually this time, and the ball went to Zhang Xiaotian's hands in the front court.
Zhang Xiaotian directly called a cover, and pulled up the hit after one step into the three-point line.
"If you have the ability, we will go it alone." Draymond Green was indignant.
"Why, if you can't prevent it, there will be an excuse to fail, you have the ability to vote, I'll let you vote."
Draymond Green couldn't help but spit out words that started with F, and while he understood that trash talk was just a courtyard tactic, there were some things that were really embarrassing.
The main reason is that he doesn't have the status of the team, otherwise he will vote, and he is confident in himself.
Because it wasn't the attacking power, he received the ball or passed it.
Zhang Xiaotian took the opportunity to say lightly: "Coward." ”
Draymond Green almost blew up, especially after seeing Curry's shot a bit difficult to score.
Then Zhang Xiaotian went to the front court and repeated the old trick, called for cover and burst in, causing the Warriors to foul.
The Warriors didn't even flank James today, and they will definitely not pinch Zhang Xiaotian, and they will definitely have to pay the price for their defensive strategy.
When the Warriors attacked again, Draymond Green finally couldn't help it.
In fact, he thinks that Zhang Xiaotian is still very powerful, but he thinks that he is not bad.
So, after he got the ball, he relied on Zhang Xiaotian to make a half-layup and half-toss.
He has a physical advantage, and he also wants to force one to save face.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaotian gave him the feeling that his strength was somewhat enhanced, and he did not achieve the expected effect, and Draymond Green's ability to adjust offensively was not strong, and the result was an ugly iron.
Warriors head coach Mark Jackson was not happy on the spot, did the team let Green go up to do this, isn't this nonsense, do you want to play.
Draymond Green was most afraid that the head coach would not give him a chance, and immediately threw himself into defense.
This time, when Zhang Xiaotian shouted for cover again, Draymond Green squeezed over.
In fact, it is generally a change of defense, and after not changing, others do not have such a strong defensive ability as him, he really wants to defend Zhang Xiaotian to prove his role.
As a result, the teammates did not have a tacit understanding, and both of them rushed to Zhang Xiaotian.
Zhang Xiaotian distributed the ball to Bosh on the side, and the Warriors hurried to make up for the defense, Bosh passed the ball to Ray Allen, and Ray Allen hit a three-point shot.
The head coach of the Warriors just wanted to scold this thing to death, obviously looking at the Warriors to have an advantage, but he didn't expect this guy to mess around.
Draymond Green is very aggrieved, he is obviously working hard for the team.
Seeing that the situation was not so long, the Warriors quickly replaced Iguodala and David Lee.
On the Heat side, James also rested enough and returned to the court at the same time.
James was very efficient, hitting two in a row when he returned to the court, and the Heat suddenly became the leading side.
The Warriors are not good at what to do, whether they want to balance offense and defense or attack.
After Iguodala also hit the iron, the opponent finally made up his mind, and it was okay to keep one on the court to defend the strong and weak players.
And their defense was not successful today, whether it was James or now Zhang Xiaotian, they couldn't completely restrain it.
So in the second half, the Warriors decided to use the offense and gave up Draymond Green again.
The current Barnes is also difficult to do in the face of Zhang Xiaotian's defense.
Still want Curry to come, Curry didn't have stage fright, first threw and scored under the sticker, and then assisted David Lee to hit the mid-range.
The Warriors' offense is indeed strong, James and Zhang Xiaotian have already exerted their might, and the score has not been opened.
Time is running out, and the suspense of victory or defeat is becoming more unclear.
