At the beginning of the second quarter, Ginobili played off the bench, the Warriors Durant and Thompson were on the court, in order to chase points, the Warriors strengthened their defense, and the Spurs' three attacks were in vain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Livingston began to show his unsolvable turnover jumper skills again, scoring four points on 2-of-3 shooting.
Durant also used his long arm to cut off David Lee's pass, and made two fouls and two free throws for a layup.
In the end, on the Spurs' side, Ginobili broke through Simmons and hit a 2-point shot to break the deadlock.
After scoring, the Spurs had enough time to adjust their position this time, so they regained their rhythm in defense and defended one-on-one, which played a great role in interfering with the Warriors' passing ball, and the Warriors needed the ball to run smoothly in order to play an efficient offense, so in the intermittent passing, the Warriors also began to make mistakes.
The Spurs took advantage of the Warriors' mistakes, and Simmons and Mills each hit a counterattack to re-stretch the score to 10 points.
Kerr changed the main force back to the court, and Old Man Bobo also brought the main force back.
The main forces of the two sides returned to the court one by one, and Lei Shui's task was to chase Curry and try not to let him catch the ball, but it was very difficult to do, Curry was always running tirelessly, and he was running very tricky, and he could always find a chance to catch the ball with the help of cover, once Curry received the ball, he could shoot far away, and he could break through when he was close, so Lei Shui's task was the most tiring.
Lei Shui analyzed it, if you want to follow and bypass, it is easy to be covered by someone and lose, if you bypass it in a separate way, Curry is still easy to follow and lose if you run back, so Lei Shui can only chase frantically at any cost.
During this time, although all of Lei Shui's energy was spent chasing Curry, the effect was average, and Curry still threw in 1 three-pointer and a rebound layup, but fortunately, Leonard turned on the offensive mode and kept scoring, so the score has been maintained at about 10 points.
During a pause, Lei Shui took a break, panting heavily, sweat beads clicking off, in order to prevent Curry, but it took a lot of physical strength.
Old man Bobo saw that Lei Shui's strength was sold so well, and he was afraid that he would lose his physical strength in the end, so he made arrangements for defending Curry, Lei Shui only needed to chase one side, put Curry running on the other side, and then the player who defended the ball carrier blocked the passing line on the other side, even if Curry ran over, as long as the ball could not be passed, then the threat was much smaller.
This kind of defense requires a very strong execution, and no matter which side makes a mistake, the defense fails, but for the Spurs, there is no need to worry about execution.
Back on the field, because Lei Shui's defense has become a lot more simplistic, there are a lot less emergency starts and stops, and a lot of physical exertion is reduced, and he can finally breathe evenly.
The Warriors have relied on Curry's back and forth to find opportunities, and this time they came back and obviously felt the tightness of the defense, and before the ball arrived, they fell into passivity, and after two rounds, the Warriors saw that the defense against Curry was so tight, so they basically left Curry behind, and the other 4 people were cooperating with the offense, so the efficiency was reduced a lot.
But the Spurs' offense remained efficient, and just after the half-quarter, the 15-point margin came out.
Seeing that Cole still didn't pause, the old man Bobo motioned for Lei Shui to hit Curry with height.
Lei Shui took the ball and sat twice with his back to Curry inside the three-point line, don't look at Curry's thin and weak, since he was criticized for having no strength, this guy has not practiced less, and now the dimension of his arms is also a lot thicker, and he is short in height, and he is very low on the top, and it is still very difficult to sit up...
Lei Shui went to the middle distance, in order to prevent others from coming to help defend, he quickly turned forward and moved sideways to make a jump shot, Curry knew that he would not think about it with his height, and he saw the moment Lei Shui started his hand, cut the ball, and cut to a small part of the ball, although it was not cut very accurately, but it caused Lei Shui's ball to be unstable, Lei Shui jumped up in order to adjust the ball, his body was in the air, and he quickly adjusted the ball before shooting.
In turn, Green took the rebound and made a quick long pass to play a quick counterattack, and Anderson was shaken off this point and could only foul Durant from making an empty layup.
When Durant was about to make a free throw, Leonard said to Thunder Water: "Your low-post skills are almost hot, don't hit your back first, did you see Mills's catch and shot, you just hit like this, you cut in, the ball passed to you, don't hesitate, just pull it up and shoot, Stephen can't reach you, he doesn't have that explosive power." ”
After the free throw, it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Lei Shui began to run after handing the ball to Leonard in half court, Lei Shui went around in a circle from the side and went straight to the free throw line, received Leonard's pass and shot it high, Curry's limited height and bounce, it was difficult to complete the interference, Lei Shui twisted, aimed, and shot in the air, the action was coherent and smooth, and the ball hit steadily.
Seeing that this trick was so good, Lei Shui used it three times in a row, 3 shots and 2 hits.
Curry is not a master to be slaughtered, seeing Lei Shui scoring so much in front of him, he decided to let Lei Shui see his power again.
Curry held the ball for half the court, and he didn't run, anyway, under such defense, it was difficult to run out of chances, it was better to play by himself, Curry shook his hand and commanded his teammates to disperse, everyone looked at this posture and knew that Curry was preparing to play single, and hurriedly retreated to both sides.
Curry is two steps away from the three-point line, lowering the center of gravity to prepare to break through, Lei Shui stepped on the three-point line to defend, Curry broke through one step forward, just when Lei Shui was judging the direction of Curry's breakthrough, Curry suddenly collected the ball, one step outside the three-point line to shoot, Lei Shui hurriedly reached out to interfere, but the ball had already shot...
After the ball was shot, Curry confidently began to retreat, and the ball did hit the basket into the net, Curry shouted at Thunderwater: "Hey! You are so far away from me, you can't stop me! ”
Lei Shui knew that with Curry's ability, it was really difficult to prevent things, so he didn't say anything, and began to cut in the air again in the half, but this time the cut was deeper, Lei Shui received the ball again, turned over and jumped, Lei Shui paid attention to the protection of the ball, and tried to expose the ball when he turned in the air after jumping, so that the ball was far away from Curry and was not easy to be cut.
However, Curry has been scored on his head by Lei Shui in a row, this time he took the risk of cutting again, this time he cut directly to Lei Shui's left hand, and when Curry cut to Lei Shui's left hand, he knew that he had fouled, in line with the principle that the foul would be killed, Curry took advantage of the situation and pulled Lei Shui's left hand, intending to pull Lei Shui down...
Lei Shui felt the force of this pull in the air, his left hand was pulled, his right hand immediately grabbed the ball with one hand, continued to lift the ball over his head, and threw the ball forward with one hand, and the ball hit the board into the basket and played 2+1.
Lei Shui landed and said to Curry: "You can't prevent me, it's flat!" ”
