Chapter 597: Three-Point Divine War!
The whole Warriors have gone crazy with their three-point shots!
This is not surprising for this 73-win team that wins by shooting, but there have always been netizens who believe that the Warriors should break the single-game three-point record, because they are the strongest three-point team in history!
For the entire regular season, they didn't do this, maybe because they were too strong, and they lost the suspense of the game in the third quarter, and these young guys, once they felt that the game was boring, they began to shoot, so they didn't break the record, and today, in the finals, the Knicks gave a close match they wanted, and it also made the Warriors show the most powerful three-point strength!
Coach Cole was thrilled and excited: "The whole world should have seen it, this is the strongest team in the new era!" ”
What kind of team is the strongest in this day and age? That's the team with the strongest three-point shooting ability!
"In the future, if an outside player doesn't have the ability to shoot three-pointers, it's likely that he won't be called a superstar!" Kerr is excited that he has created the trend of the league, and in the past, there may have been superstars like Wade who didn't shoot three-pointers, but in the future, as long as you want to be called a superstar, you will be forced to practice shooting three-pointers.
In fact, LeBron James is also paying attention to this game, and he is also agitated in his heart: "The Warriors are too strong, today's game, even if we encounter it, it will definitely lose, unless we can shoot more than 20 three-pointers in a single game." ”
As a top team in the league, the Cavaliers are also very strong in three-point shooting ability, although James is not the three-point master in everyone's impression, but in the game, once he finds the state, the three-point shot is still very accurate, plus JR Smith, a three-point maniac. It's not a problem to shoot seven or eight shots a game, and Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are both good three-point players, so the Cavaliers have the potential to break the record.
Speights' three-point shot completely made the Knicks not know how to defend it, and the Warriors went from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, and everyone who pulled out could shoot three-pointers, and they could all shoot them.
In fact. Tonight was also the best three-point shot for the Knicks, but it didn't show off under the Warriors' glow.
In the third quarter, Anthony and Porzingis also shot a three-pointer each, and the Knicks have hit 18 three-pointers in a single game.
The Warriors and Knicks, in tonight's game, could hit more than 23 three-pointers at the same time. If the record is broken at the same time, then this one will be a real three-point battle.
Even so far. It's also the best three-point game in NBA history. Thinking of the wayward competition between the world's two best three-point shooters before the start of the game, everyone felt that this three-point battle seemed to be doomed before the game began.
Slowly, the third quarter was played to the end, and in the last two minutes, the crazy Warriors finally missed another three-pointer, the same. The Knicks also scored 18 goals unchanged.
However, there were only 2 seconds left in the final attack. It's still the Warriors' possession, and in just two seconds, everyone knows the Warriors will shoot a three-pointer.
"Is the Warriors' record-tying goal coming?" Quite a few people think so.
The Warriors hit another three-pointer to tie the Rockets of that year, and Stephen Curry was definitely the first choice for shooting, and he will definitely try his best to make this shot.
At the end of the first two verses. Curry and Xie Chen each shot a three-pointer at the buzzer, which was a 1-1 draw, this time, the opportunity was Curry's turn again, why didn't Curry try to continue to lead Xie Chen by one shot?
Xie Chen knew what Curry was thinking. When the Warriors didn't serve, they pestered Curry and said to him: "I know you want to shoot this ball, and frankly, you don't have this opportunity." ”
"Then you can cover me and try it." Stephen Curry smiled, not taking Xie Chen's words seriously at all.
This kind of long-distance whistle ball, the average defender does not dare to defend too tightly, once it is blown foul, it will be too much to lose, Curry is confident that Xie Chen will not dare to have physical contact with him when defending.
Xie Chen wanted to break the Warriors' pass, as long as Curry was running forward and catching the ball, then Xie Chen would definitely be able to break it, but Curry chose a more secure way to receive the ball, in this way, it would be farther away from the basket, Curry was not confident enough to shoot so far away in the backcourt, so he dribbled past Xie Chen with an ultra-low center of gravity, he thought that as long as he burst out and got rid of Xie Chen, he could shoot directly to the basket.
Curry only had a second to get rid of it, and he did a great job, but ......
Syllable!
Curry is in the past, but the ball was left by Xie Chen!
"What?" Curry was about to shoot, only to find that the ball was not in his hands at all.
He looked back in amazement, his dribble with such a low center of gravity was also broken? I'm sorry, but Paul's favorite thing about steals is this kind of dribbling with a low center of gravity.
After the ball was broken, there was only one second left, Xie Chen didn't even have a chance to aim at the basket, as if he was holding a bomb in his hand, he hurriedly threw it out, just threw it casually, and hit it accurately!
Another whistle three! If the three-point whistle is also a test event, Xie Chen is currently leading Curry 2:1!
The audience at the scene was excited: "This ball is amazing, I didn't even see how the ball was broken, and I didn't see how Xie threw it, but it went in, and the Knicks also shot 19 three-pointers!" I wonder if the three points of these two teams will be so crazy in the fourth quarter? ”
Regardless of the fourth quarter, the game was already destined to be the most exciting three-point matchup in NBA history.
Even the Internet is going viral that the NBA Finals is staging one of the most exciting three-point battles ever, attracting a lot of viewers who don't watch basketball to pay attention, this year is the Olympic year, but everything related to sports, everyone wants to participate.
In the Warriors bench, the expressions of the players are quite happy, and in their opinion, since they have shown their strongest strength, the game should be without suspense. And they did dominate the game.
Green smiled from ear to ear: "The Knicks guys were all stunned by us, hahaha, no matter who we are on the court, each of the five people on the court can throw a three-pointer." There's nothing they can do with us, it's incomprehensible, right, coach? ”
Cole smiled happily as well, and Green, though a little overly optimistic, was right. If the team only had Stephen Curry, a three-point shooter, the opponent might be very defensive, and now five people can shoot and dare to shoot, who can defend it?
The Warriors shoot so crazy from the outside, the Knicks' defense on the outside will definitely increase, and once this happens, the Warriors can take the opportunity to play inside, and the Knicks still can't defend it.
"The initiative is already in our hands and it shouldn't be a problem to win this game." Coach Kerr said secretly in his heart. As long as they still maintain the threat from the outside in the fourth quarter, where the outside attack is combined with play, the Knicks will definitely not be able to parry.
The fourth quarter was a quick start and the Knicks looked visibly worried, while the Warriors were so relaxed that now the Warriors weren't even thinking about who would win the game, but about the Warriors' 23rd three-pointer. Who will win?
At this time, the main players of both sides were still resting off the field. None of the best players in three-point shooting are there, and among the players off the bench, the likes of Speight, Barbosa, and Iguodala all have a chance.
If it was really these guys who shot it, it would be fine, no one expected that the person who shot the 23rd three-pointer turned out to be the only outside player on the team whose three-point ability was lower than the league average, Livingston!
"Oh my God. Livingston actually hit a three-pointer! ”
“wow!” The whole Warriors bench is excited!
Stephen Curry and Draymond Green jumped in shock, Bogut kept waving his towel, and everyone else danced excitedly, celebrating it as if it were their home game.
Livingston hit a three-pointer, which completely made the excitement of the whole Warriors team reach the highest value! Everyone was overjoyed. Coach Kerr smiled from ear to ear, which is too big for the morale of the Warriors and a blow to the Knicks.
You know, Livingston, as a guard player, has shot as many three-pointers in his 12-year career as Curry Xie Chen's three-pointers in one game!
Last season, Livingston made nearly 400 shots, and in a three-point team like the Warriors, he only made two three-pointers and shot 0 from the field.
After Livingston scored this goal, he was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, and then perhaps he heard his teammates howl like wolves, and actually imitated Jordan's shrugging movements.
In the Knicks console, everyone was holding their breath.
Porzingis was indignant: "You can hear the cheers from so far away, whose home is this, how can no one suppress their damn laughter!" ”
Xie Chen didn't say a word, and got up directly with an expressionless face: "I can't stand it anymore, let me play!" ”
Fisher looked at Xie Chen, understood Xie Chen's mood at the moment, nodded, and then looked at Ci Shiping: "You can also play with Xie." ”
Ci Shiping was stunned, he actually had his share in the game? Ci Shiping immediately understood what Fisher was going to do, and the two were brothers, and Fisher obviously couldn't stand the Warriors being so arrogant, so he let Ci Shiping play to dissipate the arrogance of the Warriors.
The Warriors bench saw Xie Chen suddenly stand up, and Green hurriedly followed suit: "It looks like my friends over there can't help but play early, and we don't want to rest, tonight's excitement is no problem for me to play two more quarters!" ”
Cole also nodded: "Okay, then you can also play in advance and settle this game as soon as possible." Remember, the most important thing is to win. ”
Now the Knicks are 12 points behind, the point difference is not out of reach, nor is it the most important thing, the most important thing is morale, the Knicks have lost too much to the Warriors.
Livingston, who hasn't even thrown a three-pointer for a few years, has made a three-pointer, which is too much of a morale boost for the Warriors, and with the whole team playing against the sky, their confidence in victory is basically impossible to be shaken.
"Morale...... In order to win this game, they must first destroy their morale. Xie Chen entered an unprecedented state of seriousness.
This game was the most difficult game Xie Chen encountered this season.
On the Knicks' side, Xie Chen and Ci Shiping played, and Curry and Green on the Warriors' side also played.
Xie Chen ******** wanted to end the Warriors' crazy emotions, so the first ball was very fierce.
After Wei Shao's rapid breakthrough, he didn't care where the defender was, and hurriedly hit the basket, now that Speights was still on the court, Xie Chen's facial expression looked quite terrifying, as if he was going to kill someone, during this time the Warriors laughed so unscrupulously, no one thought about how bad Xie Chen would be at home, plus Speights repeatedly verbally collided with Xie Chen on the bus, if Xie Chen rushed up and staged a riding dunk on Speights, Speights would definitely not be surprised.
Therefore, Speights was so frightened that he didn't dare to jump, didn't go to block Xie Chen, and let Xie Chen deduct one. Anyway, there are only two options to rush over now, either to be dunked, or to drag Xie Chen down and foul Xie Chen to make free throws, Speights doesn't think he can get rid of the dunk king's dunk.
Xie Chen was holding back his strength and flying in the air, and he wanted to buckle one head-on, but suddenly found that Speights didn't even jump, and immediately turned slightly sideways in the air, turning into a two-handed back buckle!
Since Speights didn't dare to defend it, Xie Chen took the opportunity to play a fancy dunk!
Xie Chen's dunk thought it would change the mood on the spot, but he was wrong.
The fans at home did not react enthusiastically to Xie Chen's two-handed back buckle this time, and even a little cold!
"How so?" Xie Chen was stunned after the dunk landed, thinking that he was on the home court of the Warriors, why did the Knicks fans react so weakly to this dunk? Is the team too far behind, or are they used to Xie Chen's dunks?
In fact, even the audience themselves didn't understand why they didn't yell and carnival after Xie Chen's dunk.
A young white man asked his companion, "That ball just now is very beautiful." ”
The companion replied, "Yes, it's wonderful." ”
The white youth asked, "Then why didn't you cheer?" ”
The companion also shook his head: "yes, I should be excited." ”
Even LeBron James, who was not at the scene, saw that the response was not enthusiastic, and James exclaimed: "Buckle your hands on the back!" Or the two-handed back dunk done with a defender under the basket can't even ignite the emotions of the home fans! Now, fans don't feel any kind of scoring except for three-pointers! Oh my God, the NBA game has evolved to this point! (To be continued.) )
