Chapter 465: The Next City First
Three-point shot, Spurs 114-112.
"Damn, I swear, there's no problem with this kid." Draymond Green exclaimed indignantly.
He is also very familiar with Zhang Xiaotian, and he can't do it because he injured his ankle in that moment just now.
"Never mind it, he definitely has to focus on it." Curry spat out his braces, a little annoyed.
They've all been fooled, and their former teammate is completely fine.
However, if it is no problem, why did you stay in the dressing room for so long, and why did you still look weird after you came on the pitch.
The Warriors' players don't have time to think about it, and 22 seconds later, it's time to solve the problem.
It's okay to be able to score three points, it's okay to only have two points, the key is to score.
The Warriors' tactic is that Curry receives the ball, shoots directly when he has a chance, and lets Durant hold the ball and play alone when he doesn't have a chance, and Curry is ready to shoot at any time outside the three-point line.
Curry was stuck to Danny Green after receiving the ball, and he would be pinched to cover the Spurs.
Curry can also make a strong shot, and while Danny Green has a hand in outside blocking, he doesn't care.
However, at this time, he must execute the tactic, and he still handed the ball to Durant.
Durant receives the ball near the free-throw line, and Leonard defends alone.
Zhang Xiaotian actually still has some problems with his ankle, otherwise he would have defended.
Defending Durant alone, I'm afraid that no one in the league can pat his chest, but this time the Spurs will not pinch and must prevent the Warriors' three-point shot, preferring to let Durant shoot.
Durant made a feint and then stepped back from beyond the three-point line, but Leonard was focused and didn't give the opposition a shot.
Durant turned sideways again, with Leonard in front of him, he couldn't show off his dribbling skills, and when he encountered such a defensive master, he could only use his strongest advantage.
That's the height, Durant sat in it for a moment, and then turned two and a half times in a row, using body contact to affect Leonard's center of gravity, and by the way, also looking for rhythm.
Then he turned around and pulled it up directly, Leonard reached out to interfere, but he was still hit by Durant.
At 114:114, cheers came from the Warriors' bench, and Durant also threw his arm, although it was only a tie, but he played the ball perfectly.
With only 2.5 seconds left, the Spurs are reluctant to give time to the Spurs, but as the lagging side, the Warriors don't dare to really wait until the end.
The Spurs tentatively arranged tactics, and the Warriors were very sure that Zhang Xiaotian was the person who needed the most attention.
You can't let him catch the ball, and if he gets the ball then he gets it.
The Spurs have a lot of players who can shoot, but the Warriors' tactics are very clear and they can't let Zhang Xiaotian shoot.
The game continued, Leonard made a cover for Zhang Xiaotian, and Zhang Xiaotian immediately started to catch the ball.
The Warriors would not let him get his wish, and several defenders rushed over to block him.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Leonard rushed to the side to receive the ball, and the Warriors' defense was suddenly a little chaotic, and Leonard must also have the strength to kill.
Durant didn't have time, but Draymond Green reacted quickly and immediately blocked it.
Leonard didn't make a shot, but sent the ball to the side.
Zhang Xiaotian happened to squeeze past the Warriors player who had shifted his attention at this time, and he jumped up directly after receiving the ball.
Iguodala couldn't catch up, and Durant turned around and was a step slower to block.
When the red light on the rebound was on, Zhang Xiaotian had already smashed the basketball into it.
116:114, dunk slam out, Spurs fans roared excitedly.
The first game of the Western Finals, won.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Vicky said: "We controlled the tempo of the game very well. ”
"But we were a little overwhelmed after Zhang's unexpected departure, we made mistakes, but luckily he came back."
"We played against almost the best team of all time, and we had to give our best every round. If they hit 20 three-pointers and we're defending, there's nothing you can do. If they start shooting threes after two passes in the transition attack or we don't switch in place or we don't follow the game plan and let them do whatever they want, then it's impossible to beat them. ”
'We just had to step on the pitch and do our best, play our best and then we did it.'
Zhang Xiaotian was sent for a detailed examination after the game, so the reporter did not interview him, and it was not clear whether he had any problems, but judging from the game, they all felt that he was not too problematic.
Cole, who did not directly direct the game, was also interviewed after the game. 'We need to be patient and trust our players to make adjustments.
"That's what the playoffs are, you have to anticipate everything, we need to execute, they gave us a huge challenge, it took us a long time to keep up with their game, and I can only say hopefully Game 2 will get off to a different start," Curry said in an interview. ”
"We're in a bit of a hurry." Durant sighed with some emotion.
Pachulia denied that he deliberately stepped up: "I did what I had to do, challenge that shot. I didn't even notice him fall before I looked back, I don't know what's going on. In that situation, I had to challenge that ball. I believe we can beat any healthy team, I don't like to see anyone get hurt, I'm a player and I know how they feel. ”
After being examined, Zhang Xiaotian was no longer in serious trouble, and the medicine in the system was really magical.
The team adjusted his training content, Zhang Xiaotian didn't care, he had recovered to perfect condition after passing through the training room at night.
The playoffs really can't be careless, if he hadn't had a system, he would have planted it this time.
It's a lesson, he's going to have to be more demanding of himself in the next game, and if he had noticed that ball in advance, that wouldn't have happened.
There have also been some war of words outside because of this game, and he will not be affected by any remarks, now it is time to adjust his competitive condition and strive to win the Warriors as soon as possible.
The Warriors are a strong opponent, but Zhang Xiaotian is full of confidence.
In the East, it's still the semifinals between the Celtics and the Wizards, but it's the last game anyway.
At Celtic's home stadium, the first half was extremely intense.
But in the third quarter, Thomas Jr. led the team to the lead, and then their bench players Olynyk and Smart played well to help extend the advantage.
On the Wizards' side, there were no bench players who could stand up, and Wall had problems in the second half, so he lost regrettably.
This is still when the Celtics are behind in rebounding, and the Wizards actually have a chance, but they didn't grasp it, and in this kind of critical game, wasting opportunities can only face failure.
