Chapter 363: Mentality Collapses (9000 Words Chapter)

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Clippers and Warriors both easily defeated their opponents, and the two teams rested for nearly a week.

Western Conference Finals G1, just two minutes into the opening game, the Warriors scored zero.

Steve Kerr heard waves of cheers from the fans at the scene, and saw Green being vacated at the top of the arc, and immediately shouted loudly:

"Back to the defense! Focus! ”

The rebound popped up and was easily picked up by Jordan Jr., and in order to serve the shooter on the court, Bogut usually mentioned the line.

Harrison Barnes is pestered by Matt Barnes, and despite not being as athletic as his opponent, the veteran's game experience is not something that rookies can match.

After the opening, he rushed to grab the frontcourt rebounds several times, but all of them were stuck behind him, and the proud Ku of the first two rounds had gravity and disappeared after the opening.

The Clippers insisted on a single defense, and Paul squeezed through the defense with all his might, and even if he changed defenses in two rounds, Curry, who was a little frizzy, failed to seize the opportunity.

Watching Paul dribble quickly across the half, the Warriors could only quickly retreat, and the wind was not smooth after the opening, the score was behind and they looked anxious, and there were some problems with the defensive formation.

As soon as Bogut, who was on the inside, saw Li Ze receiving the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, he moved to the right from the left near baseline position.

The Warriors' overall formation moved closer to the right wing, and Li Ze immediately returned the ball after receiving the ball and gave it back to Paul at the top of the arc.

Little Jordan quickly came to the top of the arc to block and dismantle, and Bogut, who had just moved, was forced to follow up, and before the blocking and dismantling happened, Li Ze on the right wing suddenly started, shook to the upper line and suddenly ran back.

A quick cut of 45 degrees on the right side, Kelai focused on Li Ze on the defensive end, and after Li Ze returned the ball, he relaxed a little, and did not notice that the inside line was emptied.

The reverse run chase defense was only one step slower, Paul's pass grazed his side and went to Li Ze's hands, Bogut didn't have time to help defend, Li Ze dribbled twice after receiving the ball, took off directly, and glided and dunked!

“wow!”

Scoring with an easy dunk, Li Ze laughed and shouted, and by the way, he raised his hand to signal to the fans.

Seeing the Clippers play a wave of 8-0 and the Clippers fans cheered and celebrated, Steve Kerr reluctantly asked for a timeout.

After the opening, Li Ze only dunked twice and scored 4 points, and overall, the Clippers still slowed down the pace and did not let the Warriors play a transition offense.

"Be tough, don't be afraid of free throws, just grab it back if you miss it!"

After the opening, Little Jordan spit out cakes, and was also blocked by Bogut, taking advantage of the fact that he was walking to the bench, Li Ze patted Little Jordan, his hand work was not good, and the offense was indeed easy to be restricted.

Jordan Jr. nodded depressedly, if he spit out the cake again, Paul will not pass the ball, except for Li Ze, the original plan of the Clippers is to play more No. 5 position blocking, the opportunity is out, no points, then you have to change tactics.

On the Warriors bench, Curry has hit all three shots since he was knocked down, and the core players have a bad hand, and Steve Kerr can only loudly remind his players:

"Patience! We have 24 seconds to attack, look for better chances, finish again, believe in ourselves, believe in our teammates, ok? ”

Steve Kerr had a lot of experience playing big games as a player, but since he became a coach, it feels completely different.

The Warriors don't have many players who have experienced the big game, and assistant coach Luke Wharton shared his game experience with his players during the week of preparation, but it doesn't seem to be of much use at the moment.

In the Staples Arena, Clippers fans wore red cheering T-shirts and took the lead at the opening point, which made everyone feel high, and when they saw the Warriors kick the sideline after a timeout, they immediately shouted loudly:

“defense! defense! defense! ”

Stephen Curry dribbled past half court, Paul stepped up to the defense, and Green moved from the left near baseline to the left wing.

Jokic was immediately brought out, and the pick-and-roll of the line, Paul was delayed by Green, and Curry quickly broke through from the left wing.

Facing the white fat man who came up from the change of defense, he paused slightly during the march, and then quickly changed direction in front of the ball with his left hand, got rid of the defense, and shot a mid-range emergency stop jump shot!

"Huh!" A two-pointer was scored.

There was jubilation on the Warriors bench, and the team finally got the points!

Once the online cover fails to squeeze, the Clippers' two interior lines are likely to score points, which is expected and has not affected the mentality of the players.

Paul was a little dissatisfied that the ball was strictly blown and dismantled, otherwise it would be difficult to delay his pursuit with Green's body.

Seeing that Li Ze shook his head at him, Paul did not complain to the referee, as long as the two sides are in a unified scale, moving blocking and pick-and-roll can also improve the offensive quality of the Clippers.

The game seemed to fall into the half-court position, with Paul dribbling across the half again and Jokic receiving the ball in the left block.

The white fat man did not have a low-post strategy, and Green did not frequently get stuck on the defensive end, but kept pulling the ball after receiving the ball.

Li Ze in the right blocking area used the cover of Jordan Jr.'s position near the bottom line, from right to left, quickly crossed the bottom line, and Kelai chased after him.

In the left blocking area, Li Ze received a hand-handed pass, then held the ball in his right hand and dribbled a big step towards the line.

Jokic took advantage of the situation to cover after handing over the ball, delaying Kelai's defense and creating space for Li Ze.

Green didn't have time to help defend at all, and after receiving the ball, Li Ze took a step and immediately stopped urgently, drifted to the right, and threw a backward jumper!

"Huh!" Hit the two-pointer steadily!

Kelai spread his hands to Green depressedly, which was a little different from the game plan before the game, and Li Ze did not hold the ball frequently on the line after the opening.

So far, Li Ze has not held the ball to block the attack, which is somewhat inconsistent with the expectations of the coaching staff...

The Warriors' offense was still trying to catch the misalignment, and it was also a pick-and-roll on the left wing, and this time Paul squeezed past Green's cover.

Curry noticed that his teammate bounced to the top of the arc and immediately passed the ball behind his left hand, and after Green received the ball, although he was let go of a big step, this time he directly chose to break through.

With the ball accelerating in his left hand, Green cut straight to the basket, and Jokic seemed to anticipate the opposition's offense and strode backwards.

Finding that he couldn't get past the defense, Green simply leaned over Jokic and threw the ball into the air as he approached the basket.

"Shh

The referee gave two free throws, and the Clippers fans in the scene were unhappy and immediately erupted in boos.

The white fat man moved slowly, suffered a small loss, and was tossed enough after the opening game, and the Warriors always grabbed him.

Green hit both free throws to help the Warriors score again, and after scoring points, he clapped passionately and shouted to his teammates to defend.

The Warriors finished their defense, and Green saw that Jokic was receiving the ball in the right block area, and immediately understood that the Clippers were going to play the same tactic again.

Li Ze crossed the baseline from left to right, received a hand-handed pass again, and dribbled a big step to the line, and Green reacted quickly to keep up with the help defense.

As soon as the defense was in place, Li Ze suddenly changed direction in front of him, and instantly shook over Green who was sliding to defend and Kelai who was chasing after him.

At the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Li Ze completely got rid of the defense, held the ball in his right hand, stepped on the ground, rose up in the paint area, faced Bogut who came up to help the defense, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and vigorously sank the tomahawk dunk!

“oh——! slam dunk! ”

“a spectacular move by kayce!”

In the opening 4 shots, the commentator Mav Albert also turned into Li Zechui, and the old man shouted excitedly.

The action rate does not seem to be on the same channel as the players on the court, Bogut just symbolically moved to the basket, and he didn't have time to jump up and block, and after Li Ze completed the dunk, the ball smashed into his face...

"Shet!"

Looking at Li Ze, who was smiling and retreating, Bogut scolded secretly, a little broken.

The atmosphere of the Staples Arena exploded, and the continuous dunks ignited the enthusiasm of the fans.

In the next few minutes, driven by Li Ze, the Clippers' scoring was +2 in a row, which was very stable, and the Warriors' scoring was intermittent.

Fortunately, the appearance of Yin Gedala solved the problem of the Warriors' scoring difficulties, and Barnes easily scored points in two consecutive singles.

With 1:55 left in the first quarter, the Warriors' scoring halted for a few minutes at 13 points, and the official timeout didn't solve the Warriors' problems.

Curry took advantage of Bogut's pick-and-roll, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, and then gave Bogut down the middle, who received the ball and threw it in the paint area.

As soon as the ball came out of his hand, he was immediately greeted by Jordan Jr. with a big hat, and the fans cheered again, Paul was quick to control the ball, and then immediately gave the ball to Li Ze, who accelerated without the ball on the right side.

The sudden switch of offense made the Warriors have no time to retreat, and at the end of the intersection, both teams reached the state of added penalties, and Kelai could only follow Li Ze on his side.

The two flew across the halfcourt, and at the moment when they were close to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly went in and out quickly, and after shaking his body to the left during the march, he changed his rhythm, slowed down and accelerated again.

Stopping suddenly, Kelai couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and was instantly stuck by Li Ze.

Carrying Kelai straight to the basket, Li Ze rushed up in three steps, his body carried the defense, and his right hand picked up the basket!

"Smack! Hmm..."

When it hit Li Ze's arm, the ball fell into the basket, Kelai landed, heard the referee's whistle, and was blinded...

The Clippers fans at the scene began to cheer loudly, this kind of in and out on the move, which can be regarded as the actions of Li Ze and Paul, is difficult to defend.

"The next time I foul early, maybe I can get a point less!"

“...”

Li Ze patted Kelai and walked slowly to the free throw line, at this time the players of the two teams had just come to the halfcourt, and the Clippers also switched offense, but most of them relied on individual ability.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Warriors made rotation adjustments, with Aizeli, Barbossa, Speights, and Livingston on the floor, and Steve Kerr replaced all the main players in one go.

The Clippers also rotated personnel, with Paul, Jordan Jr., and Barnes being replaced, and Crawford, Tucker, and Hoeines on the court.

After Curry got off the court, he sat on the bench with straight eyes, 2-of-7, scored 4 points, and all his pre-game illusions were shattered.

Seeing Li Zejia hit a free throw, the score came to 28:13, and Curry almost closed himself...

After the Warriors' veteran came on the court, the tempo naturally slowed down, and Livingston's breakaway shot put Azeli on the free throw line.

scored 2 points, and as soon as everyone on the Warriors retreated, Li Ze chased his ass and dribbled through the half.

The Warriors also took two big men, and in this case, Li Ze suddenly picked up speed and almost disrupted the defensive formation.

Suddenly to the inside line, holding the ball in his left hand and circling around, Yin Gedala did not dare to relax, and followed Li Ze back to the three-point line.

Giving the ball to Jokic at the free throw line, Li Ze ran without the ball, came to the right blocking area, turned his back to the ball, and the Clippers immediately cleared one side, Tucker ran to the left bottom corner, Crawford received at the top of the arc, and Hoeines ambushed the basket at the bottom left.

Yin Gedala went around the front defense, the two were about the same size, and Li Ze always stuck the opponent behind him.

Jokic sent a pass, and Aizeli, who was inside, raised his right arm and quickly rushed towards Li Ze.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Li Ze shook in the direction of the baseline with his right foot as the axis, and then quickly twisted his body forward, ignoring Yin Gedala to jump up and block, and threw a mid-distance backward jumper!

"Huh!" Two-pointer again!

Catching the ball, shaking, and stepping back jumpers, all in one go, Aizeli hadn't come to Li Ze's side, and the ball had already fallen into the basket.

Yin Godala is stupid, this can also enter?

The Warriors attacked, consecutive breakaway shots, and finally Barbossa's breakthrough throw, under Tucker's defense, knocked out of the frame.

The Warriors quickly retreated, and Li Ze was not in a hurry, and made the same tactical gesture, this time asking for the ball with his back in the left blocking area.

Although Yin Godala used his strength, he was successfully caught by Li Ze, and watched Li Ze turn to the bottom line and shoot backwards again.

Yin Godala, who broke the defense, struggled to block, but hit Li Ze's arm.

"Shh

The referees blew the whistle, the Clippers fans booed again, and the free throws weren't as good as the step-back jumpers.

"Man, it's all 2 points, there's no need to foul! Relax and enjoy the game. ”

Noticing that Yin Gedala was still looking at him, Li Ze smiled and comforted.

“...”

The two free throws were all hit, Yin Godala felt that he couldn't stand it, Li Ze asked for the ball with his back, and the position was very deep, and this kind of dessert shooting was simply given away for nothing.

In the last 1 minute of the first quarter, the Warriors relied on free throws to score points, and Li Ze, who had an explosive hand, became more and more difficult to throw, and he also began to hit the iron.

In the defensive round, Speights felt that his bag had played a role, the ball slammed out of the basket, and he just wanted to take it, but Jokic who saw the opportunity successfully grabbed it, and the ball was directly stabbed into the basket...

Jokic didn't play much in the whole quarter, but scored four points in a row in the final minute.

At 17:36, the first quarter ended, and the Clippers had a 19-point lead.

Steve Kerr was a little confused, the starting lineup felt stretched, the bench could only rely on free throws to score, and what made him feel even more devastated was that he lost rebounds on the defensive end...

As a new head coach, Steve Kerr thinks there is no problem with his personnel scheduling, but the 19-point difference is too much.

On the commentary bench of TNT at the scene, the three of them also looked at each other when they saw such a point difference, and finally Reggie Miller took the lead in saying:

"The closer you get to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage becomes, and the Warriors didn't play their offensive rhythm and allowed the Clippers to take their chances."

"Kayce is the best player in the league, reading the Warriors' defense, picking up the tempo of the offense, and having an unbeatable performance."

Chris Webb looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and also turned into Li Ze and blown:

"7-of-9, 3-of-3 free throws, 17 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, one person scored the Warriors' entire team, and Steve needs to get his players to find their touch as soon as possible, otherwise the game will quickly lose its suspense."

Commentator Marv Albert also didn't want the game to be spent too early, and looked at the technical stats and added:

"The Warriors only had two turnovers in the first quarter, and although they were 1-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, I'm sure they'll find their touch again."

Paul spent a lot of energy in the first quarter, and chasing Curry was not an easy job, but it saved a lot of energy on the offensive end.

So, after a break at the end of the first quarter, Paul felt like he was in good shape, scoring seven points on 3-of-6 shooting in the first quarter, which was basically in line with his expectations.

"Chris, control the tempo on the field, let's slow down first."

The difference was close to 20 points, and Coach De Nagro completely relaxed, admonished Paul, and no longer emphasized tactics.

Ingles was alerted by his assistant coach to move his body happily, thinking he wouldn't be going to get playing time.

The two sides invariably swapped their lineups to one big and four small, with the Warriors retaining Azeli and Harrison Barnes replacing Speights.

On the Clippers' side, Paul has four benches, and there is only one height on the court.

Naturally, the coaching staff has also looked into the Warriors' rotational lineup, and Steve Kerr clearly prefers to use a smaller lineup.

The Warriors did not replace Curry too early, and the coaching staff tried to give the newcomers a psychological massage, but the rotation lineup was not very efficient offensively, and the game played more than three minutes and scored 6 points

At 23:44, taking advantage of the dead ball, the Warriors replaced Curry, Klai, Speights, plus Yin Gedala and Harrison Barnes on the court, still one big and four small.

Out of caution, Coach De Nagro also replaced Li Ze and Jordan Jr., and Crawford and Hoynes were replaced, leaving those who could defend on the court.

The Clippers suffered a bit from the height of their roster, and the Warriors tried to step up their rebounding struggle, but after a few rounds, they didn't get the expected effect.

Curry, who had just made his debut, hit another shot from beyond the three-point line, and the long rebound was just taken by Tucker, and the Warriors, who were more mobile, quickly retreated.

“ lets go clippers! lets go clippers! lets go clippers! ”

After Li Ze took the ball, he held the ball from the backcourt and slowly dribbled through the halfcourt.

At this time, the Clippers directly stretched the offensive space on the court to a large extent, Tucker and Ingles quickly sank to the left and right corners, and Paul on the left wing waved to Jordan Jr., signaling to stay near the baseline on the left side.

As an experienced veteran, Yoon Godala has been responsible for defending Li Ze most of the time since his debut.

Seeing Li Ze holding the ball in his right hand, he moved sideways to the right wing, and immediately beckoned Barnes in the bottom right corner to come forward and wrap Li Ze.

Noticing the opponent's defensive movement, Li Ze suddenly blew up the ball on the spot, lowered the center of gravity of his body, quickly turned his back and pushed the ball with his left hand, and broke through on the left side.

The sudden acceleration instantly made Yin Gedala lose his defensive position, and he hurriedly slid to the right rear, and at the same time gave a physical confrontation, trying to make Li Ze slow down and form a trap.

Harris Barnes's defensive attention was also completely attracted by Li Ze, and he also adjusted his pace and prepared to block the line.

When the two were about to defend, they didn't notice that Ingles in the bottom right corner began to move towards the basket, and Li Ze walked up to the line to break through, get the passing space, and send a through ball with the momentum.

The latter received the pass, was unguarded, and hit a layup along the baseline.

With a score in the Western Conference Finals, Ingalls laughed and high-fived Li in celebration.

On the defensive end, Li Ze is responsible for marking Kelai, Tucker follows Yin Godala, Ingles is considered a newcomer, and on the defensive end is another newcomer, Harrison Barnes.

After a few rounds, Clippers fans were fascinated by it, Li Ze and Paul's singles were really good-looking, and Curry's singles goals were also very beautiful.

The Warriors attacked, Curry faced Jordan Jr., who came up from the switch, broke through with the ball in his left hand, and then suddenly dribbled under his crotch, instantly returned to the three-point line, and then threw it with his hand!

“curry for three! thats good! ”

Seven points in a row, a brilliant misplaced single, made the commentator Marv Albert scream.

At 32:50, the point difference did not narrow, Steve Kerr on the sidelines frowned, and the Clippers broke up the game in the rotation stage.

While Speights also did his job and helped the team score points, the defense also always gave away points.

At this time, the rhythm of the game on the field completely slowed down, and Yin Godala saw Li Ze advancing with the ball again, and scolded in his heart.

Harrison Barnes was completely blinded at this time, and Ingles, who was opposite him, was in a sloppy position, not only able to sneak up on the basket and encounter the help defense, but also to simply feed the cake, and the Clippers scored easily a few times with more and less shots.

Noticing that Yoongodala didn't give instructions, Harrison Barnes stayed in the bottom right corner and stopped stepping forward to match the pack.

Sensing the opponent's defensive intentions, close to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, shook his body to the left, lowered his center of gravity and suddenly changed direction under his crotch, and then broke through with the ball in his right hand.

Yin Gedala's defensive center of gravity was adjusted twice in a row, and then he hurriedly slid to the left back, and Li Ze, who completed the change of direction, dribbled vigorously on the spot extremely quickly, and then dribbled behind the trend back to return to the three-point line.

Yin Godala, who wanted to defend again, didn't have time to make any defensive moves, and the clubbing was in place, watching Li Ze jump outside the three-point line!

“kayce! the magi! (Magical!) )! ”

“what a move by kayce!”

A simple shake froze the defender in place, and finally hit a three-pointer, and the commentator Marv Albert screamed with excitement.

Yin Godala took a deep breath helplessly, and was continuously attacked to defend the front support foot, and every shaking had a precise purpose.

Too close to be passed, too far away to pull out directly, the bag is divided into the ball, the single defense is single, the pre-game pre-match made by the coaching staff, Yin Godala feels that it is completely insufficient.

Seeing that the point difference was back to 21 points, Steve Kerr reluctantly asked for a timeout, his core players played, but the opponent's core players could not be limited, and the big hole in the first quarter of the game seemed to be difficult to climb up...

Griffin's injury has turned the Clippers into an outside team with Li Ze and Paul as the core, and the Warriors like to use small lineups, and the coaching staff feels that relying on star singles seems to be able to solve the problem.

This extremely slow offensive rhythm is also a simple attempt, and so far, the effect is really good.

Walking to the bench, Jordan Jr.'s mood also improved a lot, and Paul finally brought him cake again.

Clippers fans like this rhythm of the game, everyone can appreciate the one-on-one of the stars, Li Ze returned to his seat, briefly replenished water, and a strange emotion welled up in his heart.

"I always feel like this tactic is familiar..."

Back on the bench, the Warriors have a broken mentality, what the hell is this!

Klai crouched in the bottom left corner for several consecutive defensive rounds, and couldn't touch the ball a few times when attacking, and the whole team ran around, and finally watched Curry play alone.

There is no transition offense, no mercury three-point shots, and no cover opportunities, which is beyond the pre-game forecast.

Steve Cole is also encouraging his players:

"Hold on! We still have plenty of time to turn the game around. ”

“...”

The big lead allowed the Clippers to calmly control the pace of the game, grinding back and forth, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake.

The two sides regained their starting lineups, and the Warriors also tried to activate Klay, but it was still Curry and Green's pick-and-roll, the latter bounced to the top of the arc.

Green didn't choose to shoot when there was an open opportunity, but instead distributed the ball to Klay, who bounced off Bogut's cover to the right wing outside the three-point line.

The intention of passing the ball was too obvious, and Li Ze, who had been chasing the defense, suddenly jumped forward, and led the ball forward after completing the interception.

In the cheers of the fans, holding the ball in his left hand, he kept accelerating, and noticed that Green behind him had chased after him, Li Ze suddenly stopped on the three-point line, converted three points and quickly jumped shot!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

Green, who was chasing until half court, heard the noise of the Staples Arena and felt that he had turned back into a clown, and when he was still in a daze, he heard Li Ze's voice again:

"40 points, how long do you think I'll take?"

After saying this, Li Ze didn't look at the other party's reaction, and slowly retreated to the half.

“...”

Green's math is not bad, but when he heard Li Ze's ridicule, he was extremely depressed, and his dream before the game was shattered.

Once the budding team collapses, it may only take a few minutes, and the Warriors are still scoring, but the defensive end is gradually starting to have problems.

Kelai's chase was hung up by Jokic in the right blocking area, and it seemed to be completely deflated, and the speed slowed down a lot.

Li Ze received the ball on the right flank, did not make any adjustments, and threw the ball when he took it!

"Huh!" Three-pointer again!

At 40:62, with 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the half, the margin still did not narrow.

Curry, who found his form, broke through the throw and scored two more points, and Kelai, who came back to break the defense, sent Li Ze to the free throw line...

Steve Kerr was back on the bench and of course understood that his players were in an explosive state of mind and that they would have to wait until half-time to make plans.

At the last moment, the Clippers scored consecutive points, and suddenly widened the difference.

At halftime, 42:66, the Clippers went into the second half with a 24-point lead.

"At 25:30 in the first quarter, the Clippers' offense was decent, but the Warriors didn't take advantage of the opportunity, and the point difference was widened."

At Staples Arena, the Clippers fans were happy, while Chris Webber in the commentary box was disappointed that the Warriors didn't play the game he expected.

"That's the difference in game experience, the frizzy offense in the first quarter, the rhythm of being dragged into the Clippers in the second quarter, and obviously Steve has a lot of work to do."

Reggie Miller had long expected the Warriors to be in trouble, but losing by 24 points at halftime was also somewhat unexpected.

"Stephen Curry had a good second quarter, scoring 13 points on 6-of-12 shooting in the half and 1-of-3 three-pointers, which is the Warriors' highest score so far."

"Kayce played efficiently, 11-of-15, 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, and scored 30 points, and the core players of both teams played their own style."

Commentator Mav Albert also did not comment on the performance of the two teams, after all, the point difference was too big, and the game basically lost suspense, at this time, we had to talk about digressions.

In the Clippers locker room, assistant coach Tyronn Lue was slightly disappointed that his roll call tactics didn't work.

In the regular season, the average points per game of the two teams were almost the same, but in the playoffs, as long as Li Ze opened up, others could find their form.

The Clippers' defense still has problems, and when Jokic is on the floor, he will give away points a lot of the time, but the Warriors' scoring has been inconsistent and has been broken by a stable +2.

"Kayce, how is your body feeling?"

Taryn Lue asked about the condition of Kim's thighs with concern.

"In a game of this intensity, there will be no problems at all, and after the third quarter, I will be rested."

Li Ze played 19 minutes in the half, and even if he used the super badge frequently, his physical fitness was not a problem.

Paul has consumed more energy than usual, Curry has been running a little more off the ball, and the gun hasn't had a high-intensity defense off the ball for a long time.

"Curry's fitness is definitely underrated, and he runs all the time at half time!"

Hearing Paul's complaint, the atmosphere group nodded in agreement, the Clippers sometimes change defenses, no matter who defends Curry, they will feel big, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will throw the ball away.

But everyone has no psychological burden, Curry scores, Li Ze also scores, Jokic and Jordan Jr. lose a lot of points when they switch defenses, and no one cares, it's their real job to guard other players.

As the second half began, the Warriors seemed to calm down and try to pick up the tempo of the game.

Mistakes began to increase in the busyness, and the Clippers ran the tactics step by step, and unless there was a good opportunity to switch offense, they would fall into positional battles.

Tyronn Lue's suggestion has actually been taken, Paul always likes to play the No. 5 pick-and-roll, and Curry's chasing defense has also been problematic.

Singles after blocking and dismantling, touching porcelain after blocking and dismantling, Paul has frequently found Curry since the first half.

Clippers fans at the scene saw Paul make a sudden stop at the left elbow of the free throw line and trick Curry into a foul, and immediately sent out cheers.

The more he fought, the more anxious he became, Curry spit out his braces and bit them helplessly, he wanted to defend against the Clippers' offense too much, and he wouldn't shake it at all.

Kelai didn't care about any tactics at this time, he covered out, threw the ball when he caught it, didn't care about Li Ze's block at all, and continued to make strong shots.

started to attack left and right, but as a result, he hit two irons angrily, and the long rebound ball was accepted by Li Ze, and he easily scored a conversion offense.

The game finally reached the Clippers' favorite rhythm, waiting for long rebounds, seizing the opponent's defensive holes, and completing the offense quickly.

Reggie Miller saw Li Ze standing at the free throw line, and stopped discussing the situation on the court, and began to shift the conversation to the best team:

"This season, Stephen Curry will definitely be selected for the best team, and unfortunately, Chris Paul is likely to fall to the second team."

Chris Webb thought of the hapless Griffin and said with a smile:

"The Clippers may only have Kayce in the best team, and now it's the age of young people, and the competition for the best team is getting tougher."

"Of course, I would like to see Draymond Green in the All-Defensive Team, his role on the defensive end is underrated."

The white fat man ate the cake several times, but was interfered with by Green with a tough defense, and everyone naturally noticed such a performance.

"The Warriors have completely completed the rebuild, and as long as they continue to run in, they will definitely have a chance to win the championship."

Commentator Marv Albert is very optimistic about the Warriors and uses the draft to complete the rebuild, and many commentators prefer this way of competing for a championship.

Everyone has seen enough of the drama of the super team!

The third quarter of the game went according to plan, the margin was not narrowed, and the final quarter was reduced to garbage time.

At the intermission, there was silence on the Warriors bench, Green looked at the technical statistics in his hand, completely stupid, Li Ze only took 31 minutes to score 40 points...

He was 15-of-21, 3-of-4 from three-point range and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, with 40 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and no turnovers.

Really played against Li Ze in the playoffs, and the Warriors completely experienced the sense of powerlessness, the three-point shot was very efficient, but a stable 2-point can also kill the game...

Clippers fans were celebrating the victory, and it was no different from the first two rounds, still crushing the victory.

Although the opponent is a new team, the playoffs are not about this, as long as the victory is made, the fans will be happy!

After the atmosphere group came on, the pace of the game was fast, and the Warriors also seemed to find their touch on the outside, and the two sides opened and closed wide, which was the offense.

As the final whistle rang out, the Clippers fans cheered loudly again.

At 98:122, the Clippers defeated the Warriors at home, and the series score came to 1:0.

Li Ze raised his hands and kept high-fives to express his gratitude to the fans present.

De Nagro is high-spirited, a mere rookie coach, how can he compare with a champion coach like him!
