288 Here's why(1)
"Toot"
As the referee's whistle blows, the game continues!
At the beginning of the game, needless to say, Green, who served in the backcourt and from the baseline, could not serve easily at all, because from this time, the high-pressure defense from the Spurs began.
Standing in front of Green to make defensive moves is Kyle Anderson, Kyle Anderson's individual scoring ability is average, his single defense ability is also average, and his movements are slow, however, he has excellent height, at this time, standing in front of Green, obviously comes in handy.
Green kept shifting left and right in an attempt to throw the basketball, while Kyle Anderson kept shaking his body and arms from side to side, blocking Green's serve to the fullest extent.
The importance of this offense told Green that he had to handle the serve well and must have a successful serve with certainty, so at this time, he gave up the close-range serve and chose to serve from a long distance.
Under the backcourt basket, Pachulia and Aldridge were entangled together, taking advantage of the card position, Pachulia opened his hand to ask Green for the ball, Green saw Pachulia's ball, however, he chose to hesitate, or "ignore", the real thought in his heart, he didn't trust Pachulia's ability to control the ball.
"Draymond Green has to serve right away, there is not much time left to serve in 5 seconds"
Time didn't give Green much of a chance, but fortunately, Curry used his speed and height (a little shorter) flexibility to get away from Leonard and quickly catch the ball.
"Kyle Anderson did a great job on serve, but I still don't think Greg made the right choice to send him, is Greg counting on Kyle to defend Stephen alone? Single-proof Clay? Or Kevin? ”
The moment Curry received the ball, the Spurs took a change of defense, and Jin Feng, who was previously responsible for defending Durant, and Leonard, who was responsible for defending Curry, immediately changed their defenses.
is still the backcourt position, Jin Feng can't help but stick to Curry, and at the same time, his hands keep pulling out, he wants to make Curry as uncomfortable as possible and make distance mistakes.
Of course, as one of the top point guards in the league, his dribbling skills are the best among the top point guards, so it is difficult to really affect Curry with such a pure pressing backcourt defense.
No, a cross-step throws the ball behind his back, and Curry holds the ball and advances to the other side of the center circle, which is the frontcourt.
failed to get Curry into trouble, and Jin Feng was not too disappointed, after all, he knew who he was facing. When Curry passed him in an instant and quickly pushed to the frontcourt, Jin Feng also used his speed to reappear in front of Curry and made a defensive appearance.
Seeing that he couldn't get an immediate attack, Curry slowed down the pace of possession and slowed down the tempo of the game as he waited for his teammates to all get to their positions.
"This wave of offense belonging to the Warriors, the really exciting part has arrived, and now it's Stephen Curry who is in charge of the ball, let's see what happens next"
When the Warriors players have reached the corresponding position, the Spurs players have also reached the corresponding position, so at this time, the offensive and defensive alignment of the players on both sides of the court is basically clear.
Stephen Curry vs. China Jin at the top of the arc, Kevin Durant vs. Kawhi Leonard on the left side of the paint area, Klay Thompson vs. Kyle Anderson without the ball from outside the three-point line to the bottom corner, Zazapacula and Dedmon in the three-second area formed an entanglement, and Draymond Green and LaMarcus Aldridge on the right side of the paint area have super physical confrontations.
Of course, this is only the position of the players on both sides at a very small point in time, in fact, the position on the court at this time has been changing, for example, just the next second, when Green suddenly pulled to the high post and extended to the three-point line and stuck between Jin Feng and Curry, the position immediately became Aldridge defending Curry, and Jin Feng faced Green.
Curry didn't get a chance to be sure of the ball after almost three seconds of holding the ball, and then transferred the ball to Thompson, who was running without the ball behind him.
Anderson's speed is very slow, known as the "essence of human creeping", but Thompson's speed itself is not very fast, and Anderson has the advantage of height and long arms, which makes his defensive deterrent range not bad, so then, Thompson immediately passed the ball back to Curry.
At this time, it was the top position of the arc again, Jin Feng once again faced Curry who was holding the ball, and at the moment of facing Curry, Jin Feng immediately launched his speed advantage and instantly pasted it, and Popovich's instructions still clearly appeared in his mind, "Listen, everyone, 90% of Stephen Curry's shots are jump shots, so it must be pasted, don't leave him room to shoot, that is, let it go or not."
When Jin Feng clinged to Curry, Durant on one side immediately tried to get rid of Leonard's defense and rushed over, and he knew that he had to respond.
However, Leonard wouldn't let him get his wish, and immediately followed.
I have to say that when Jin Feng clinged to Curry, it really made Curry overwhelmed for a moment.
However, this kind of overwhelm did not last long, Green's cover made him finally relieved, of course, but it was only a sigh of relief, he wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't have much chance (of course, this is for Curry, if it is Kobe, or Durant, or even Jin Feng may force a shot), because Aldridge rushed up.
"LaMarcus played against Stephen Curry, and Stephen passed the ball to Kevin Durant"
At this time, Durant finally rushed over, 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the right side, he stood up to Leonard behind him, and forcibly took Curry's pass.
"KD catches the ball, he faces the kawaii defense"
When the two were in tune, the atmosphere in the entire Oracle Arena fell completely silent, because judging from the current situation on the field, the predictions in the hearts of the fans and the consumption of time for this attack, perhaps this is the final interpretation of the attack and defense of the two teams.
"Eight seconds of attacking time, imaginary final matchup, who is the winner in the final moments? See what happens in the next second"
Facing Leonard in front of him, Durant firmly held the basketball with both hands on his chest, first stretched out his right foot to make a breakthrough, and Leonard's entire body immediately moved to the right side, not to mention being fooled, it can only be said that he tried his best not to lose his position.
The entanglement between the two continues.
"There are 6 seconds left in the attacking time"
At this time, the rest of the players on the field, whether offensive or defensive, began to run without the ball.
Among the many running positions, Anderson's presence is the lowest and the most overlooked.
Therefore, when Klay Thompson suddenly found that Anderson, who was guarding him, suddenly disappeared, he found that at this time Anderson seemed to have rushed behind Mr. Du.
At this time, there were 4 seconds left in the offensive time, and under the cover of Green's blocking, Leonard had a certain loss of position for a moment, and this loss of time difference was the time when Durant decided to make the last shot.
Therefore, Durant held the ball with both hands and pulled out three points ready to shoot.
At the same time, Thompson's impression of Kyle Anderson's "creeping" speed, at this time, in his eyes, has become extremely fast.........
