Chapter 366: When Encountering Obstacles

In the first game of April, the Celtics and Warriors did not open in the first half, and Zhang Xiaotian scored a double-double, which was already the highest score on both sides.

The Warriors maintained a small lead, but half a minute before halftime, the Celtics scored five consecutive points to overtake the score and entered the break with a two-point advantage.

The warrior, who has always been full of confidence, instantly has a feeling that it is difficult to exert his strength.

The Celtics' defense is not the type of outside pressing, with strong support on the inside, but everyone is desperately physical, which has a taste of European basketball.

However, the Warriors are not like too much, and a small backwardness is nothing to them.

After halftime adjustments, Curry directly turned on superstar mode in the third quarter.

A series of unreasonable three-pointers finally broke the Celtics' defensive blockade.

It's just that this one is not like usual, Curry crushed the opponent as soon as he went crazy, and the Celtics should play how they should play or how they played, just like robots, and there were not too many fluctuations.

On the other hand, Thomas Jr., who was defended by the Warriors in the first half, also broke out with Curry, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, which is not much better than Curry's 21 points in a single quarter.

The league's ruthless characters are ruthless, and many times it is difficult to limit it just by defending.

Curry scored to beat Thomas Jr., but the Celtics took advantage of the overall scoring.

The Celtics' tactic of pulling the big man out to shoot was exceptionally successful in this game.

As far as the lineup is concerned, the Celtics are actually more reasonable, but they don't have players of Curry's or Zhang Xiaotian's level, and the outcome of the battle still depends on the battle in the final quarter.

The rotation of the two sides is similar, and the Celtics also let Evan Turner and Zhang Xiaotian fight against each other at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

They believed that Zhang Xiaotian would not be as lively as other games at this time, and of course they also prepared a flanking tactic.

Speaking of fatigue, Zhang Xiaotian is a little bit, but the Warriors' rotation has given him enough time to rest.

The key is that he is different from ordinary players, and the improvement of strength in the final quarter can completely cover up the sequelae left by the previous fierce confrontation, and some things are still missing from the Celtics.

Evan Turner was full of confidence and wanted to face Zhang Xiaotian, but it turned out that he was no match for Zhang Xiaotian at all.

It's just that the Celtics are really tough, Evan Turner can't score and becomes a playmaker, Olynyk and Smart both hit back-to-back shots.

That's why the Warriors are out of action for Iguodala, and the quality of their perimeter defense has dropped during the rotation.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaotian did not completely shake the scene, the warriors successively replaced the main force.

Adjust before the opponent, and the Warriors will encounter this kind of thing a few times during the season, but there is no need to mind.

The key is the shooting rate, this Warriors' three-point shooting is not bad, but the two-point shooting rate is a mess, the Celtics' defense is very tight, and there is a chance to break through and shoot, but the shooting rate is too poor.

In the fourth quarter, Curry, who had been in front of him, had another problem with his hand.

Sometimes it happens that it feels good and then disappears after a break.

It stands to reason that a player of Curry's level should remember the feeling after adjustment, and it can only be said that the Celtics really made the Warriors feel annoyed.

In the last five minutes, the Warriors still sacrificed a small lineup, without Iguodala, replacing Barnes with a slightly less effective force, but it can be said to be stronger in terms of offensive power.

The Celtics also adopted the same lineup, with the two sides fighting directly for the bayonets.

Curry's state is a bit problematic, the Warriors take turns holding the ball, and Curry, Zhang Xiaotian and Green play alternately.

At 2:33, Zhang Xiaotian split the ball to Klay Thompson, who hit a three-pointer, and the Warriors gained the initiative.

But soon Thomas Jr. and Evan Turner also hit the ball, and the Celtics were able to shoot from the outside in all five positions, and they could also find the right shot after the pick-and-roll shift.

Teams that play well in team basketball have problems with this when defending.

At this time, it cannot be said that we will resolutely not change the guard, because I don't know which one will shoot last.

But in the final moments, this kind of team without a top All-Star will have the problem of not knowing who to put the blame, and the last minute of the game is completely different from the first minute and the middle minute.

What the Warriors have to do now is to reduce their mistakes and bite the score, and make a last-minute effort to win the opponent.

With 29 seconds left on Jan. 29, Curry hit the first shot of the final quarter to put the Warriors in the lead.

Then the Celtics attacked and fouled, and Zhang Xiaotian made both free throws.

But when the Warriors wanted to take the opportunity to seal the win, Green also made a mistake, and the Celtics scored four points in a row and took a one-point lead.

It was the last 10 seconds, and the Warriors asked for a timeout to lay out their final shot.

Curry is also the team's No. 1 choice, whether it's with the ball or shooting.

Zhang Xiaotian wants to say that he is more sure, but this kind of thing can't be said, Curry is originally a big-hearted shooter, even if he felt average before, but at the last moment, the Warriors can only believe him.

Of course, Curry can also choose to share the ball, and Zhang Xiaotian's running without the ball has also improved a lot this season.

Smoothly receiving the ball, standing in front of Curry is Bradley, who can keep up with the pace completely and will not give Curry a chance to make an easy shot.

The others pulled away, and Green went up to cover.

The Celtics' defense was very tight, and Bradley didn't let Draymond Green block it, and squeezed straight over, still blocking in front of Curry.

The clock was in the last 5 seconds, and Curry didn't plan to spend it until the end.

A breakthrough feint, Curry flexibly pocketed the ball back with his wrist and stepped back to shoot a three-point shot.

Although the score difference is 1 point, there is nothing wrong with shooting three-pointers, and Curry's three-point shooting rate is far more than two points this time.

However, the goal was still a bit reluctant.

There were many times when Curry could make difficult shots on defense, but he didn't hit the ball.

Klay Thompson and Barnes are both in position, Draymond Green is running out after covering, and only Zhang Xiaotian is inside.

When Curry shot, he changed the route of the weapon's run.

Since Curry decided to shoot on his own, Zhang Xiaotian's running without the ball is meaningless, and now there are only two situations, to score or not to score, and to enter the absolute advantage of the Warriors.

If he doesn't score, Zhang Xiaotian gave the answer with action, that is, to rush to grab the rebound in the front court.

The Warriors have a bunch of outside shooters, and the Celtics' only big man will also be brought out, and the backcourt is empty.

Zhang Xiaotian has always paid attention to the shooting point of his teammates, and when the Celtics' defenders were about to get stuck in the main position, Zhang Xiaotian had already rushed up.

Jump high, dial to the front court to rebound, and immediately after landing, he just rolls over and throws the ball.

The moment the ball leaves the hand, the time for the game runs out. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
