Chapter 217: Challenging the Warriors (2)
After the timeout, Leonard first broke through and scored a layup, and then the Spurs immediately increased the intensity of the defense, Thunder Water stuck to Curry's defense more tightly, Curry wanted to break through, but saw the layers of defense behind him immediately dispelled this idea, and instead handed the ball to Green, who was promoted to the high post, to participate in the run. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Warriors' off-ball running is really like tying a dead knot, and while running, they are still covering each other, and people are dazzled by the looks, but this is such a way of running, the Spurs are stunned that no one is out of position, and Lei Shui is also nervous, for fear of making a little mistake and letting Curry slip out of the vacant position.
However, it is much better to hold on for a few laps, and it is estimated that the Warriors have not been able to run a chance, and they are all confused, and Thompson and Durant have collided together in heavy positions.
Green immediately signaled to stop running and gave the ball to Durant to deal with, and Durant's handling was much more direct, forcing Anderson and hitting a backward shot.
This kind of shooting, there is no way to defend at all, you can only do your best to interfere, and then it depends on how Durant feels.
However, if the Warriors are allowed to play alone like this every time, the Spurs' goal will be achieved.
The Spurs are still playing team cooperation, continuous blocking and dismantling, breaking through the ball, and pulling out the big one to shoot.
Although the Warriors still tried to cooperate, in addition to slowing down the offensive tempo, they really didn't find any good opportunities, and in the end, it was better to hand over to Durant to play alone efficiently.
Durant's scoring ability is so strong that with Anderson's moving speed, it's like training with a chair for him, easily shaking off and shooting.
In the end, under the leadership of Durant's ultra-high shooting percentage, the Warriors overtook the score and seized the initiative.
In a fast-break counterattack, Durant held the ball through the half, saw Anderson in front of him, did not use any feints, directly broke through with a sideways turn, rushed into the basket to attract Gasol's help defense, and then gave Green a layup to make it 2+1.
Old man Bobo saw Durant taking what he wanted under Anderson's defense, fully showing what it means to cross you like crossing the road in the early morning, taking advantage of Green's free throws, replacing Anderson, and no longer letting him defend Durant, replacing Simmons, who moves better, and by the way, also letting Dedmon replace Gasol to rest.
Kerr was also busy making substitutions, with Iguodala and Clarke replacing Durant and Thompson, making him even smaller.
In such a lineup, the Spurs are taking advantage, just now there is Durant to protect the inside, now there is only Pachuria, who is slow-paced, immediately hit the inside, Simmons broke through the layup and missed, due to the drop in height, the Warriors needed more people to shrink to grab rebounds, but Dedmon used his physical advantage to pull the ball out with one hand, Leonard got the ball to break through, attracted three defenders, and then distributed it to the other side of the empty cut of Lei Shui, Lei Shui started directly and easily scored the basket.
The Warriors knew they had to be quick if they wanted to score, and they had to get through the half court quickly, and with a couple of quick passes, Clark missed a three-pointer in the open space.
Ade won the rebound, Lei Shui took the ball and advanced quickly, 2 to 2 chances, but Lei Shui and Simmons went down, Curry and Pachulia defended, Lei Shui looked at these two people, short and short, slow and slow, but Lei Shui also knew that although Curry was short, he was flexible in his footsteps, and he was still a star player, and the referee would take care of it more or less, as long as he paid a little attention to his footsteps, it was not impossible to make a foul on himself, Pachuria's slow pace was not a star, and the success rate of beating him was relatively large...
Thinking of this, Thunder Water stepped outside slightly, lured Curry, and distributed the ball to Simmons at the free throw line, who jumped up to avoid Pachuria's interference and hit a layup.
Curry took advantage of the fact that the Spurs had not yet returned to defense, hurriedly served, and sent directly through the half court, but the ball flew too long and was cut off by Leonard, Leonard went directly to the basket, but unfortunately in order to avoid Curry, he failed to go up, but it didn't matter, Thunder Water and Simmons both rushed back, Simmons was stuck for Thunder Water, and Thunder Water jumped directly on the spot and grabbed the ball with one hand to make up for the dunk.
At this time, Kerr hurriedly called a timeout, and began to rotate and trim while adjusting, and then returned to the court, the Warriors only had Green as the main force on the court, and the Spurs were all substitutes.
However, in such a lineup, Green is too short to play center, he can't play inside, he can only play on the board, and others have limited ability, so they can only rely on running out of the open position to catch the ball and shoot, but without the guarantee of shooting percentage and rebounds, they were counterattacked by the Spurs again and again.
Ginobili made consecutive passes and shots, leading the Spurs to a five-point lead, Kerr couldn't sit still, knowing that height was a hard injury, and immediately brought Livingston and Durant back to the court.
As soon as Durant came up, he first opened up space for the inside, West hit a hook, and then chased down David Lee to block a layup, and the effect was immediate.
Ginobili saw the problem and couldn't play fast, although Durant was tall and had long arms, but after all, he was an outside line, and he still couldn't fight against the inside, so he had to slow down and find opportunities.
Under Ginobili's control, David Lee and Dedmon each got easy scoring opportunities in the reasonable collision zone, and when the Warriors focused their defense on the inside, Ginobili found Mills on the outside and scored five points in a row.
And Durant's hand was a little cold at the off-court break, missing both shots, and Livingston just came on the court and couldn't hit.
By the end of the first quarter, the Spurs had a 10-point lead over the Warriors thanks to Ginobili's strategy.
Lei Shui sat on the bench and watched Ginobili's performance in just a few minutes: 5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and unconsciously shook his head and sighed: Jiang is still old and spicy, he can take care of it anywhere in the whole court, his brain is really good, don't blame him for his top.
Waiting for Ginobili to get off the field, Lei Shui hurriedly handed over the towel, Ginobili covered the towel on his head and wiped it back and forth a few times, saw Lei Shui smiling at himself, and asked puzzledly: "Lei, what are you laughing at?" ”
Lei Shui looked at Ginobili's half-bald head and said, "Hehe, there is a saying in China that is extremely smart, and it is perfect for you!" ”
Because he communicates in English, he can't spell out the feeling of Chinese, so after listening to it, Ginobili touched his bald head and wondered, "What?" Smart enough to lose your hair? Is this a compliment to me? ”
Lei Shui nodded: "Of course I praised you!" ”
Ginobili pointed to the bald head and said, "Then I lost my hair because I was too smart?" Do you have a good solution in China? ”
Lei Shui shook his head: "Uh... I don't know about the problem of long hair, I just quote it to show that you are amazing! ”
Ginobili is also not modest: "That is, remember to help me carry the bag next time, and I will teach you some more experience, so that you will benefit a lot!" ”
Lei Shui nodded hurriedly: "It must be!" ”
