Chapter 985: The Puzzle is also crazy
The Eagles adhered to their rhythm of the game, and Bibby has been sitting on the court, using veteran experience and patience honed over more than ten seasons to direct the team to play slowly.
The Warriors' offense is aggressive, and their defense can be said to be immovable, but sometimes they are too impatient, and it is inevitable that there will be holes in the open space, and the Hawks have seized these holes and scored the ball.
From the beginning of the first quarter, the Hawks took the lead, and the score advantage was extended to double digits in the middle of the second quarter, much to the disbelief of Warriors fans.
The two sides seem to be on the side, both are the main lineup in the confrontation, the Hawks' starting five-man only Williams went off the court in the second quarter, the other four have been on the court, the Warriors' side, is also the strongest lineup in the fight, both head coaches understand that in fact, in this game, the fight is just a breath, whoever can't hold this breath first will lose.
"Relying on Chamberlain's two consecutive hook shots in the last 40 seconds of the second quarter, the Warriors finally chased the score to 10 points at the end of the first half, but the current shape is dangerous for them, because this is the home court of the Hawks, and they are still playing back-to-back tired teams, and the more they go back, the more sad they are."
"Josh Smith had a good look today, he did the job of containing Chamberlain, maybe not perfectly, but who can defend perfectly against Chamberlain?"
"Man, just watch today's game and you can confirm that, yes, Josh Smith is the most underrated Hawks player."
"I've known this for a long time, Charles, I asked you to do more homework and you didn't listen to me, Smith's awesome earthlings know that last season, he averaged 15 per game. 7 points 8. 7 rebounds 4. 2 assists 1. 6 steals 2. 1 cap, what does this result mean? In fact, in the 2009-10 season, there were only two players who could average "points/rebounds/assists/steals/blocks/15+5+4+1+1" per game, namely LeBron James and Smith. ”
"I think the biggest thing about Smith is that he's well-rounded and he's got the ...... today He finished with 10 points, five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals. Aside from the three-point shot, I really can't think of any shortcomings in him. His three-point shooting was terrible, though, and he averaged 1 three-point shot per game in 2008-09. 3 times, 0 hits. 4 goals and a shooting percentage of just 29. 9%, but this season he knows what his problems are, and he has only made five three-pointers so far this season, which is almost negligible. ”
Josh Smith's change of defense against Chamberlain was indeed successful, and Chamberlain fought hard in the first half to score 25 points - this score is not low, but Chamberlain has done his best, and this score is built on 17 shots!
"Damn, that guy is like a plaster, I want to throw it away, but I can't do it." Chamberlain said with some distress in the locker room.
"We fight with them with bayonets! These bitches think we're going to have a problem if we hit back-to-back? I'm going to see who goes wrong first, whether it's them or us, it's me Jackson or he's Joe Johnson. Jackson gritted his teeth and said.
The Eagle King does have this shortcoming, and his fitness problems have been an omission that has plagued his progress.
In the 2007-08 season, Johnson averaged 21 per game in December 2007. 9 points 4. 2 rebounds 5. 5 assists, while in January and February 2008 the tally was only 19. 9 respectively 5. 3 rebounds 4. 9 assists and 18. 5 points 4. 9 rebounds 5. 2 assists.
The same thing happened in the 2008-09 season, when he had 24 in December 2008. 2 points 5. 0 rebounds 6. 0 assists were recorded, compared to 17 per game in January 2009. 9 points 3. 8 rebounds 7. 2 assists scored.
In the 2009-10 season, this pattern continued: in December 2009, Johnson averaged 22 per game. 4 points 5. 1 rebound 5. 6 assists, compared to 20 in January 2010. 9 points 4. 1 rebound 4. 2 assists scored.
So far, in November and December 2010, Johnson has averaged 21 per game. 8 points, 5. 5 rebounds, 5 assists, but last month he only had 19. 8 points, 4. 8 rebounds and 3. 8 assists, and in this way, his fitness problems this season seem to be even more serious.
The Hawks are the kind of team that the Warriors fear the most, with strict discipline, selfless style of play, a harmonious locker room atmosphere, and players who are as close to each other as brothers, the Spurs are a strengthened version of the Hawks, but the Spurs do not have the terrifying athleticism of the Hawks, and the Warriors can use the speed and passion of young people to grind their old guys, but this is definitely useless against the Hawks, because the Hawks are younger......
At the beginning of the second half, the Eagles' ball, Bibby finally went off the court, and Teague got the chance to play.
Bibby is also older after all, and he has been fighting for 24 minutes in a row, which is already a test of his physical fitness.
Teague dribbled and looked at the three-point line, his calf seemed to be equipped with a Ferrari engine, and suddenly leaned over to break through, Curry was caught off guard by him, and he was thrown away like this.
Smith cut off the ball on the side and ran towards the penalty area in a receiving position, which created a problem for Oxlade-Chamberlain, which to defend?
Worst of all, Horford ran in again, and slipped through the bottom line, and Chamberlain was suddenly faced with the embarrassment of fighting on three sides.
Teague didn't make a shot, but gave the ball to Horford, who got the ball and put it on Chamberlain, then immediately turned around and took a hook to the basket.
This kind of shot is simply looking for death, Chamberlain jumped up to block, but Horford's purpose was not to score at all, but to hit his head in Chamberlain's arms, the referee's whistle immediately sounded, and Chamberlain ate a defensive foul.
The Warriors counterattacked, Chamberlain missed a mid-range jumper, Smith grabbed the rebound and threw it to Teague, and slowly assaulted the whole line before using a slow knife to cut the flesh.
After the half-court line, the Hawks' tempo began to pick up, Teague broke through the defense and rushed inside, he was about to distribute the ball to Horford, but Chamberlain suddenly came up to the position between him and Horford, aiming at the ball fiercely.
Teague had to dribble the ball and withdraw, at which point Crawford, who came on as a substitute, ran briskly.
Crawford, like Ginobili, is an offensive wizard, one is a South American demon knife and the other is a North American demon knife, Carter couldn't look at him, and was thrown away by him by a counter-run.
Teague passed the ball, Crawford got the ball excitedly, he dribbled the ball under his crotch twice in a row, his body writhed irregularly, and then jumped up with a quick step into the inside.
Chamberlain came up to make up for the defense, Crawford had already defended it, the ball was handed to the left hand, the right arm was bent to resist Chamberlain, the upper body tried to maintain a steady dìng, and the ball was thrown up with a shake of the wrist.
"Huh!" With a crisp sound, the basketball fell into the hoop, and the score gap was even greater, 14 points......
Even Chamberlain was a little impatient at this moment, and then the Hawks attacked again, Crawford broke through to Horford, who leaned on Chamberlain and carried the ball two steps inside to Smith who came up on the wing to catch it, Smith turned over and jumped out, but Chamberlain was stunned to knock Horford away, rushed to Smith and was a big hat, and flew the racket out of the court!
finally vented, Chamberlain couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar after sealing it, and at the same time there was a trace of sadness in his heart: Nima, why is this eagle so difficult to catch.
The Warriors carried most of the quarter, and the third quarter passed seven and a half minutes, and the Hawks still pulled the score steadily, although the Warriors chased the score several times, but the difference was always around 15 points.
It's just a regular season, there's no need to fight to the death, and it's okay for the style of play to be restrained by the Eagles, anyway, the Hawks will definitely not make it to the Finals, even if they can make it to the Finals, then the situation will be different.
The strength of the finals is not the same as that of the regular season, when Chamberlain was caught again, it was not simply to break the bag with his feet, but to have N small means and small tricks to spare.
The sweaty main players got off the field, Jeremy Lin silently handed them the towel, and the old Nelson reformulated a few tactics on the tactical board and began to make personnel arrangements: "Chamberlain, West, Carter, Jamison, you guys are down, Evans, Ibaka, Jackson, and ......"
Old Nelson's eyes turned to Iverson's body, and then looked at Jeremy Lin, who had been silent, and said, "Jeremy, you go." ”
Jeremy Lin was stunned, then nodded, and took off his training uniform to reveal his sky-blue robe.
This lineup can be said to be second-line, only one Curry is considered a quasi-first-line, and he rarely starts this season, so strictly speaking, it is not a first-line.
The Warriors possessed the ball, Curry subconsciously controlled the ball and ran forward, and when he saw Jeremy Lin following him, he laughed and said, "You're a pure playmaker, right?" Then there you come. ”
He passed the ball to Jeremy Lin and went to run around on his own, and the elder Nelson has been paying attention to developing Curry's offensive ability with the ball, and he is an outside player specifically for Chamberlain.
Finally touched the ball on the NBA court, and a few ripples appeared in Jeremy Lin's eyes that had been bland, but then, he calmed down again and silently ran to the front court.
The Hawks replaced the previous meritorious guard Bibby, the old ball oiler has studied Curry and West, and knows that these two guys are not easy to deal with, but Jeremy Lin is a fresh face, and he knows that the Warriors are going to practice, so he doesn't defend seriously.
Jeremy Lin slowly ran to the frontcourt, he looked at the position of his teammates, and then looked at Bibi's defensive posture, and suddenly accelerated, like a Harley motorcycle, Bibi's blue shadow flashed in front of him, and the person was gone!
Breaking through Bibby, Jeremy Lin plunged like a sharp knife into the Eagles' penalty area, and for a team, the penalty area is the heart!
The Hawks didn't make a targeted defense, only Zaza Pachulia was playing against Evans, who also spent time with the Warriors and teamed up with Chamberlain, but was eventually sent away by the Warriors because of his movement speed.
Compared to Jeremy Lin, who came and went like the wind, Zaza Pachulia's defense was a little slower, and when he raised his arm, Lin had already jumped up in three steps, so that the two collided, and the referee blew the whistle.
And before the whistle blows, the ball falls into the hoop!
2+1!
"It's fast enough, and the timing is very good." Old Nelson commented with a smile.
At 80-68, after Jeremy Lin hit a free throw, the Warriors' trail was 12 points.
The Hawks then hit a shot, Evans picked up the rebound and threw it to Jeremy Lin, the Warriors quickly advanced to the frontcourt, Curry stood outside the three-point line on the wing, and Lin immediately passed the ball to him.
Seeing this scene, Beebe yelled at Crawford, "Look at this little!" Can't let him shoot three-pointers! ”
Roaring, Bibby rushed in the direction of Curry at the same time, he knew that Crawford's defense was not reliable, so he went to prepare for the defense in advance.
Curry shook his head helplessly, passed the ball to Jeremy Lin again, and said, "OK, Jeremy, organize ......"
Jeremy Lin had no one in front of him, so he jumped up decisively after receiving the ball, flicked his arm, swept the ball with his soft fingers, and shot three points!
"Huh!"
Amazed!
80-71!
