263 Detonate the audience!
The whole arena was boiling at this time, and no one expected that the whole game would start like this.
"8:0, the opening three attacks, no missed shots, and in stark contrast, the Warriors did not make an attack, which is definitely something that everyone did not expect"
“Defend! Defend! ”
Kerr obviously couldn't sit still at this time, standing on the sidelines and yelling at the Warriors players on the court. Of course, what no one knows is that at this time, Cole's mood and expression are not much different, at this time, a bad premonition suddenly rises in his heart, this game, it seems that the game has just begun, there is a different smell...... This smell makes Cole frown!
…………
The Warriors' offense, after Curry advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Durant, who hit a mid-range step-back jumper.
"KD hit a step-back jumper, and finally scored for the Warriors"
Immediately afterwards, the Spurs' offense, in the face of Curry's defense, Jin Feng gave the ball to Gasol on the outside, Gasol responded to the pass in the high position, and distributed the ball to Danny Green on the other side.
At the free throw line, Leonard received the ball and held the ball to the basket as soon as possible, and under the defense of Green and Pachuria, a ghost shared the ball behind and quickly distributed the ball to Jin Feng's hands outside the three-point line on the right side.
With three points in the empty position, Jin Feng opened his hand and shot.
"Huh"
Hit!
"Flowing water, haha, this is a typical Spurs-style fit, unlimited ball sharing, seeking the most comfortable shooting point"
The Spurs' offensive tactical coordination this time is a classic, and it also caused the entire stadium to boil in an instant.
"It's China Jin again, two shots, both three-pointers, and all hits, only from the opening to the present, he has perfectly played the role of a point guard", he is not at all behind in the opposite position with Stephen Curry"
The Spurs' successive hits made the home fans boil, but what everyone didn't expect was that this was just the beginning of the Spurs show.
In the next few rounds, under the high-intensity defense of the Spurs, Curry Thompson and even Durant shot one after another, but the Spurs felt extremely hot, especially Leonard, whether it was against Durant or other players of the Warriors, the mid-range shots were scored one after another, and the points were continuously cut.
The first quarter played more than 4 minutes, and the Spurs, who were playing at home, had already led 18-5.
"Toot"
Kerr couldn't sit still at all, and immediately asked for a timeout, he couldn't let the Spurs continue to shoot like this, everyone could see that the Spurs had completely gained momentum at this time.
However, Kerr's timeout didn't do much, neither for the Warriors nor for the Spurs.
On the Warriors' side, after the timeout came back, the players were still mired in the quagmire of playing iron, and on the Spurs' side, Kerr's timeout did not stop their offensive momentum, and as soon as the timeout returned, Leonard completed a steal on Durant, chasing down three points and hitting again.
"This is kawaii's 13th point in the quarter, which is incredible, KD against him has been completely blown up, and as we all know, the first quarter is not even half the game yet"
The home atmosphere of the playoffs is already hot, let alone a playoff game like the Western Conference Finals, so at this time, when the Spurs took a huge lead shortly after the game began, the entire arena was also cheering for the home team at this time.
“Go SPURS GP!”
“GO SPURS GP!”
…………
There is no doubt that this is undoubtedly a blow to the Warriors playing on the road, and the first difficulty they have encountered in this Western Conference Finals series.
The Warriors' offense, the outside line continued to miss, which made them choose to open the situation from the inside during this wave of offense.
After Curry advanced to the front court with the ball, he made a gesture to Green, randomly, Pachulia ran to cover Green and pulled him to the high post, trying to take the ball from Curry's hand, the purpose was self-evident, hoping that Green could open up the situation on the offensive end.
Green is a very versatile player, which is well known in the league, in addition to being very good defensively, before Durant joined the Warriors, Green has always played an important role on the offensive end, obviously, he has good offensive ability.
The Spurs certainly know this, and before the game, the Spurs had simulated training for Green. Popovich's strategy was that when Green received the ball, the Spurs twin towers (Aldridge, Gasol) had to do their best to disrupt Green's shot or play a response.
As for Pachulia, it is directly ignored, because Pachuglia does not have much offensive ability, except for the second offensive rebound under the basket and the dunk under the empty cut basket, there is no other means of scoring.
With Green on the ball, the Spurs could have given up Pachulia.
Therefore, at this time, when Green pulled to the high post to receive the ball, in addition to Leonard detouring back to the three-second zone, Aldridge and Gasol also pulled out and immediately formed a bag for Green.
Seeing that it was useless to shoot directly, Green protected the ball with all his might, trying to find an opportunity to distribute the ball.
At this time, Durant ran out and took Aldridge's defense away, and Green also took the opportunity to throw the ball to Thompson in the bottom left corner.
Because Durant's run just now not only took Aldridge, but also Danny Green, so at this time, Thompson was actually in an open position.
"Clay's Chance"
In an instant, after receiving the ball, Thompson chose to make a three-point shot.
"Bell"
However, Thompson shook his hand hard, and for him, the damn stinky feel remained.
Thompson missed this shot, but the rebounding ball is still the Warriors', and Pachulia still has some rebounding ability after all, and in the scramble with Leonard, he won the game.
Grabbing the rebound in the frontcourt, Pachulia's first reaction was a direct secondary offensive layup, which he has often done this season, which can be regarded as an instinctive reaction.
However, he underestimated Leonard's blocking ability, and just as he was holding up the ball with both hands, he was slapped down by Leonard behind him, and quickly grabbed the basketball that bounced to the ground.
A little embarrassed, a little angry, this was Pachulia's first reaction, glaring fiercely at Leonard, who had already rushed up with the ball, and Pachulia then joined the Warriors' return defense.
Of course, the glance he glared at Leonard didn't notice anyone.
"Brush"
After Leonard converted the offense and rushed to the frontcourt, he was at the free throw line, turned and hit Durant again!
28:10!
Before the first quarter of the game was over, the Spurs were already leading by 18 points!
