Chapter 365: System Players? (10,000-word chapter)

The Western Conference Finals G2 disappointed many sports media who wanted to have fun.

The Warriors had a 67-win record in the regular season, and while the whole team didn't have much playoff experience, trailing by 22 points at halftime was a bit too much.

The Warriors were second only to the Clippers in offensive firepower during the regular season.

The team averaged 87.0 shots per game and averaged 110.0 points per game, a statistic that has crushed almost every team in the league.

He averaged 27 shots from beyond the three-point line per game, and the team's three-point shooting rate reached 39.8%, which is even more terrifying, and the outside performance is the first in the league.

Playing 67 wins, critics naturally have great expectations, G1 game pulling, everyone thinks that the Warriors have not adapted to the intensity of the game, but G2 is more stretched, and some sports reporters began to ridicule:

"Stephen Curry is overrated, he's just better suited to Steve Kerr's system."

Many reporters held this view, and in the middle of the G2 half-time, everyone tweeted and mocked.

The half-time theory is already their respect for the second person on the MVP candidate list.

Of course, Curry's performance was indeed a bit stretched, 2-of-10 in the half, 1-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 3-of-4 from the free throw line, and he scored 8 points...

In the visiting locker room, Steve Kerr also had a bit of a big head, and the Warriors tried to slow down and focus the ball on Curry and Klau, but unfortunately, the core player pulled his hips.

Kelai sat in his seat and didn't speak, and the more he encountered this kind of game, the simpler his thoughts became, a habit he had developed since he was a child.

When he was in high school, he didn't make any concessions and changes, forcing Li Ze to play the No. 1 position, and he also sacrificed his data.

In college, although somewhat restrained, he played the role of a scorer in general.

Entering the team in his rookie season, Monta Ellis was still the boss of the team at the time, and he didn't have many shots off the bench, and Cameo tried his best to throw.

When he was a rookie with the Warriors, he had a conflict with the team boss, which is enough to show that Kerry will not change his style of play for anyone at all.

Hearing that Steve Kerr was still emphasizing moving the ball and doing a good job of covering, Kerry finally couldn't help but say:

'We need to shoot, just throw the ball in the basket, it's not about the process, it's the goal to get points.'

He was 7-of-13 from the field in the half, including 2-of-5 from three-point range, scoring a team-high 16 points for the Warriors.

Klei proved with his performance that he is the thigh of the current Warriors.

Steve Cole glanced at Kerry, and finally just tapped the whiteboard again:

'That's right, scoring is the most important thing, we're so far behind, in the second half it's all about letting go and scoring!'

Stephen Curry didn't speak, and he's still a bit of a dazzle at the moment.

Green was 0 of 3 in the first half, and Green immediately clapped his hands and shouted:

"Go shoot, Bro! I'm going to grab the rebound, and we've got a chance to turn the game around! ”

Greenmond Green took the initiative to speak up in the locker room, constantly encouraging his teammates, and Yoongodala also sent chicken soup, coupled with the psychological massage of the coaching staff, so that everyone in the Warriors finally came to their senses.

After the start of the third quarter, Klee was on the right wing outside the three-point line, against Li Ze's block, and forced a shot to hit the iron, and the Clippers fans cheered in the Staples Arena.

The long rebound just fell into Jokic's arms near the free throw line, and when Green saw this situation, he could only curse and quickly retreat.

The rebounds of the jump shooting team are often long rebounds, and when the Clippers are paying attention, it is not easy to rush to grab the rebounds in the frontcourt.

Three minutes into the third quarter, the Warriors' scoring stopped at 45 points.

Except for the opening mid-range throw of 2 points, the others still hit the iron.

"It's not a good offensive option, and the Warriors can try to play a dozen low posts for Bogut on the inside."

On the TNT commentary bench, Chris Webber couldn't help but point out when he saw a few rounds when he either took the ball and threw it, or Curry forced a shot.

"A shooter is all about having that kind of confidence, it's just that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, and Steve doesn't seem to be able to solve the Warriors' offensive problems."

Reggie Miller doesn't think there's a problem with Kerry's shot, and he understands the shooter's attacking options.

After Paul dribbled the ball through the half court, he immediately was at the top of the arc, with the help of Jordan Jr. to block and dismantle, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Curry chased behind him, Bogut was in front of a big delay, and after Paul burst inside and went around, Curry hurriedly followed out.

Li Ze, who was in the bottom corner of the left side, noticed that Jokic had moved to the free throw line, and immediately accelerated to start and popped diagonally.

Kerry was delayed by Jokic at the free-throw line, and Green switched the guard as soon as possible.

On the right flank, Li Ze bounced the ball outside, and then took advantage of the situation to raise the ball and sway, Green who changed the defense did not dare to be careless, quickly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense, and came up with the defense.

As soon as the opponent's defense moved, Li Ze immediately put the ball with his right hand, and at the same time stepped diagonally with his left foot, and broke through in a cross-step suit.

Green subconsciously chose to slide backwards, and Li Ze took a step and suddenly dribbled vigorously on his side, stepped sideways sharply, quickly closed the ball, and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

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

At 45:74, the margin was about to reach 30 points, and the Staples arena was completely furious, and the Clippers fans were shouting with joy.

In the first few rounds, the Clippers' shooting rate was also declining, and the Warriors' bag still played a role, but they were scored by Li Ze without paying attention, which made the Warriors completely break the defense.

After Curry hit two irons, he cut back on his shots, and this time the offense, handed the ball to Bogut at the free throw line, and Curry cut in and quickly ran to the bottom right corner.

Kelai went around from right to left, and found that Li Ze on his side was chasing after him, and did not choose to catch the ball with his hands, but cut around Bogut again.

Little Jordan raised his hands and constantly interfered, forcing Bogut to send a pass, and the offensive routine was easily predicted by Li Ze, and the ball just came to Kelai's hands, and before he could lift the ball and put the basket, he was cut off by Li Ze.

"Ahh

Kelai yelled, but the referee ignored it, noticing that the Warriors were quickly retreating, and Li Ze did not choose to speed up the pace of the game, and threw the ball to Paul casually.

Steve Kerr saw that the Clippers were ready to grind the ground again, and walked around the sideline helplessly.

Harrison Barnes saw the veteran Barnes across from him move quickly from the bottom right corner and knew the Clippers were trying to play low post again.

Alert your teammates loudly, then chase Barnes to the bottom left corner.

Outside the three-point line, Paul held the ball in his right hand, quickly moved to the right wing, and immediately sent a ground pass at the moment when Li Ze successfully blocked the right block.

The Warriors' defense hula all rushed to Li Ze, Green let go of Jokic at the free throw line, cooperated with Kelai to block the line, and Bogut, who defended Jordan Jr. on the lower left side of the basket, also moved quickly, raised his hands, and blocked the bottom line.

The three-person bag is about to be formed, Li Ze took the right hand to release the ball after receiving the ball, and before the defense was in place, he quickly hoisted it to Jokic.

In the first half, the white fat man scored consecutive points with his throws in the paint area, and Bogut did not dare to be careless, and immediately wanted to step forward to help the defense.

Before he could move his footsteps, Jokic, who received the pass, threw the ball casually, and little Jordan at the bottom left of the basket easily jumped up to eat cakes, scooped the ball in the air, and poured the basket vigorously with both hands!

"Boom!" Empty catch and eat cakes!

Two simple passes broke down the Warriors' defense, and in both games, the Clippers easily seized the opportunity.

Steve Kerr saw that the margin was finally over 30 points, and finally returned to the bench, watching the situation on the court and not talking.

Stephen Curry still hasn't given up on the game, but the Clippers' defense has moved back due to poor outside touch.

Curry, who no longer pursues three-pointers, stepped up his breakout, and took advantage of Bogut's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc to get rid of Paul and go straight to the basket.

Breaking through to the paint area and approaching the basket, Curry completed the throw and was directly covered by Jordan Jr. with the ball.

"Squeak!"

The referee blew the whistle, the Clippers fans cheered loudly, Curry stood up, did not complain to the referee that Jordan Jr.'s movement was too big, and silently walked to the free throw line.

The Warriors' interior lacked aggressiveness, only Green's breakthrough occasionally caused Jokic's fouls, Bogut did not attack in the low post, and Jordan Jr. received the third foul of the game, which was just right in time.

"The Clippers won't come up with that kind of defense in the regular season, and this is the third time Curry has fallen."

Reggie Miller looked at Curry who was walking to the free throw line, and said with some emotion, Chris Webber saw the point difference on the court, and added helplessly:

"That's the gap between Stephen Curry and Kayce, and I mean the physical gap, one-on-one defense, without the need for cover, Kayce can easily hit the basket."

"The big men in the Warriors are always on the line, which is difficult to rush for rebounds, Andrew Jordan can stay under the basket, Bogut is constantly mentioning the high position, and it is better to make the roster smaller."

Commentator Marv Albert also found out about this and added:

"If you rely solely on outside shooting, Steve can get Yondalla to start and the mobility of the lineup will increase."

"The Thunder have had a lineup of Yin Baca playing the No. 5 position in previous years, and the Warriors are shorter, and perhaps, after returning to the home court, the coaching staff will make a complete adjustment."

The Warriors, who were in a scoring drought, completely collapsed in the second half of the third quarter.

Kelai continued to shoot, and Yoongodara's mistakes after coming on made the collapse even faster.

Li Ze easily got a few opportunities to switch offense, relying on fast-break free throws to score consecutive points, and the Clippers fans have begun to celebrate the victory of the game.

By the end of the third quarter, the Warriors had returned to the bench and were silent.

At 16:28 in the first quarter, after the Clippers slowed down, the Warriors collapsed on their own...

At 59:93, the game completely lost its suspense.

"With more than a day's rest and a non-stop flight to Oakland, maybe the Warriors can't adjust!"

Winning easily, Paul was in a good mood, watching the atmosphere group play the court, and whispered a little imagination about the future.

Li Ze, who has changed into training clothes, has not relaxed his vigilance, and the Warriors' whistle will be much better after returning to the home court, the offensive quality will definitely improve, and Steve Kerr will most likely break the kettle and change to a small lineup.

This is also a test for the Clippers, thinking of the possible situation, Li Ze simply said:

"The opponent has the strength to win the game on offense, and the Warriors' home record has always been very good!"

Jokic didn't care about the whispered exchange between the two, and the white fat man looked intently at the technical statistics in his hand:

5 of 8, 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover, seeing that he was missing three rebounds to achieve a double-double, Jokic felt a little regretful.

The sports reporters at the scene also stopped paying attention to the situation on the court, looked at Curry's data, and launched a tweet again:

"If Stephen Curry comes out of tomorrow's best lineup, it only shows that the reporters who voted still need to step up their business."

"Stephen Curry is overrated, and maybe he's a regular season player like James Harden."

"Second on the list of MVP candidates? Maybe LeBron James is the real second person! ”

The buzz on Twitter about Stephen Curry's performance is on the rise, and it's even more interesting that LeBron James' evaluation is starting to turn around.

"LeBron James didn't lose so badly even against the full Clippers, we all underestimated James' performance!"

Before the game ended, Curry's fans and James fans started a tearing war, until Li Ze's fans also began to speak:

"What's there to be noisy about, it's the second person anyway, Kayce is the strongest!"

This tweet sent by a fan was reposted by Durant, and with a laughing emoji, it immediately made many fans completely break the defense, and then Durant was sprayed:

"You can't win the championship without Kayce!"

Durant, who was bored at his home in the Russian city, immediately came to the spirit and went out in person:

"Who limited LeBron James to just 8 points in the Finals? Have you all forgotten!? ”

For a while, the tearing battle on social media was more exciting than the live game...

The Warriors' atmosphere team continued to score points, and the Clippers' defense was loosened.

In the end, 91:119, the Clippers who were playing at home defeated the Warriors again, successfully protecting the home court, and leading the series 2:0.

The joyful atmosphere in the Staples arena made everyone in the Warriors extremely disappointed, and there was not much time left for them to adjust, and G3 was a battle of life and death.

Commentator Marv Albert looked at the technical statistics in his hand and briefly summarized the game:

"Kerry Thompson scored 21 points on 9-of-20 shooting and 3-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, and Stephen Curry scored 13 points on 4-of-16 shooting, including 1-of-9 three-pointers."

"The Warriors are 7-of-32 from beyond the three-point line, and it's hard to win with that kind of performance!"

Reggie Miller also felt that the Warriors were shooting too much from the outside, but he didn't comment on the Warriors' performance, and once again incarnated as Li Zechui:

"Playing 32 minutes, Kayce was 15-of-20 tonight, 4-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, 41 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 1 turnover."

"Steve should be more resolute in his next game, so they don't have to test their touches, they have to start with a pinch."

Chris Webber agrees with this point of view very much, and simply adds:

"The Warriors lack elite defenders on the perimeter, and the best choice is to let the rest of the Clippers complete the offense, and the Warriors have a chance of winning."

Reggie Miller felt that Steve Kerr would definitely change the formation in the next game, and couldn't help but ask again:

"Do you think Yoongodala will be in the starting lineup?"

"Perhaps! Bogut didn't play much in the first two games, and I think Steve will make a change. ”

“...”

On May 22, the NBA league announced the best lineup for the 14~15 season, and fans immediately recovered from last night's game and started a new round of tearing battles.

The 5 people in the best formation are:

Stephen Curry, Lee, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Marc Gasol;

The 5 best players in the second team are:

Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Blake Griffin, Pau Gasol.

The top five players are:

Kyrie Irving, Kerry Thompson, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMarcus Cousins, DeAndre Jordan.

After the announcement of this season's best team, Jordan Jr. benefited the most.

With the blessing of the best defense team, the best team three times, and honors, Jordan Jr.'s agent is more confident, 80 million US dollars in 4 years, and the champion center has to get such a contract!

Griffin is still recuperating at home, and after seeing the best team announced, he still feels a little lost in his heart, and this season is too depressing for him.

Sam Goldfield naturally knows the thoughts of the big employers in front of him, and on the CAA side, it is not easy to sign Griffin, he has to always think about the employer.

"Blake, purely from a basketball standpoint, leaving the Clippers is not a good choice."

"This is Los Angeles, you have a chance to win three in a row this year, Steve Ballmer doesn't care about the luxury tax, the core is still young, you even have a chance to win another triple in a row!"

Griffin nodded and didn't say anything, and agent Sam changed his words at this time:

"But, on a personal level, you may get more out of leaving the Clippers, and awards like MVP and FMVP will be open to you."

"Kayce is too strong, with him, you can never surpass him in stats, I don't mean to underestimate you, Blake, but you should know that what I say is the truth."

Griffin nodded depressedly again, of course he knew in this situation, even an efficient scorer like Durant was so pressed by Li Ze that he couldn't raise his head, and he only got the MVP after leaving Li Ze.

In terms of scoring ability, he knew that he was not as good as Durant, and seemed to think of something, Griffin suddenly said:

"Even if I leave the Clippers, I want to go to a team that can compete for championships, I've already won championships, and I need more honors in the next stage!"

Agent Sam heard the request of the big employer, smiled and nodded, and then said without hesitation:

"As one of the best big men in the league, no one can refuse us, and of course, I don't recommend you go to New York, it's rotten there!"

"In the Western Conference, the Warriors have risen, plus the Thunder, Grizzlies, Spurs, Rockets, and Clippers, just competing for a playoff spot, it will take a lot of effort."

"The competitive environment in the east is more relaxed, and the pressure will be much less, don't worry! Leave this to me, you just need to take care of your body, the MVP is already beckoning to us! ”

As if thinking of a wonderful future, the surface brother sitting on the sofa gently leaned back tactically:

"MVP? Sounds really good! ”

On the night of the 20th, the Cavaliers, who were playing away, taught the Hawks another lesson.

At 94:82, relying on LeBron James's excellent play, the Cavaliers easily won, and the series score came to 2:0.

With 30 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 block and 4 turnovers, James played 39 minutes and played a quasi-triple-double, and no one in the Hawks could limit his breakthrough.

The Cavaliers' shooters were 12-of-30 shooting, shooting 4 percent from beyond the three-point line to blow up their opponents.

LeBron James's performance in the playoffs is getting better and better, and the comments on social media are improving, while some fans haven't forgotten to step on Stephen Curry:

"That's the difference between a superstar and a system player, LeBron James is underrated this season and he deserves to be No. 2 on the MVP shortlist!"

The playoffs will keep fans torn apart, which is why many players will turn off social media, after all, there are really many brainless trolls.

Back in Oakland, the Warriors were in high spirits, and they had lost too many games.

Just one night later, Stephen Curry found himself labeled as a system player, fans taunted him on social media, and TNT and ESPN began to look down on him.

At the moment, there is no other voice than questioning...

During the afternoon recovery training session, Steve Kerr sent Curry another chicken soup for the soul:

"Don't be in the accident world, you're the heart of the Warriors, and in tomorrow night's game, we have to be more determined, believe in ourselves, and believe in our teammates."

"The playoffs all start with a win on the road and we're going to protect our home field."

Steve Kerr patted Curry on the shoulder, he didn't want the players to be affected by the pressure, but he couldn't control the comments on social media, so he had to start from Curry's side.

Curry looked serious and didn't say much, he has been questioned since college, and tomorrow night's game, he will prove himself:

"I'll do my job!"

“...”

G3 of the Western Conference Finals has just over a day left for both teams to adjust, and on the evening of the 23rd, Oracle Arena was packed.

The Warriors have a gorgeous style of play this season, and have a 67-win record, which is naturally loved by local fans.

The crowd at tonight is close to 20,000, and although ticket prices have increased slightly, the fans are still willing to swipe their cards, and the home team needs their support!

Steve Ballmer still chose to sit in the front row, the old man and his friends around him felt out of place, and the Oracle Arena had turned into a sea of gold.

Warriors fans wore yellow cheering T-shirts and cheered for the home team:

“warriors——! warriors——! warriors——! ”

The fans shouted with joy that the Warriors' offensive form was finally picking up.

Stephen Curry dribbled past half court and immediately blocked with Green at the top of the arc, and Jordan Jr. noticed that Paul couldn't squeeze through the cover again and was forced to step forward to help.

Curry, who held the ball in his left hand, wrapped the ball behind his back, broke through in a sheep suit, and then dribbled back with a quick cross step, Jordan Jr. subconsciously stuck to the defense, and Curry, who held the ball in his left hand, went in and out slightly, and broke through again.

Just dribbled past the three-point line, Curry suddenly dribbled under his crotch, completely got rid of the defense, and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

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

The atmosphere at Oracle Arena exploded instantly, the Warriors fans stood up and cheered, and the DJs on the scene also shouted:

“stephen——curry!”

With 14 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 26-31 as Curry threw in a three-pointer.

Steve Kerr also fought thoroughly, except for Barbosa to replace the general feeling in the first quarter of the game, which was slowed down by 2 minutes, and the other four starters all played the first quarter.

Kicking the ball out of the sideline, Paul dribbled quickly across the halfcourt, Curry struggled to defend, and Yogondala was always close to Li Ze's side.

Concealed pulling, to ensure his defensive effect, seeing Li Ze suddenly accelerating horizontally, Yin Godala also riveted his strength and continued to defend.

The logo position received Paul's pass, Curry also followed the defense, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand, pulled the defense, and quickly threw the ball into the hands of Jordan Jr. at the top of the arc.

Paul stepped forward to complete the handover, noticed that Kelai quickly pounced again, and immediately gave the ball to Tucker in the bottom left corner, no one defended, and the empty three-point jumper was quickly jumped!

"Bang!"

The ball bounced high, the fans cheered again, and although Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound, the first quarter of the game was officially over.

Curry pumped his fist at the fans before walking to the bench and they finally took the lead!

On the commentary bench of ESPN, Mark Jackson looked at the Warriors' starting lineup and felt uncomfortable, he did have some dogma in comparison.

"It was a great game, the Warriors used their quick defensive rotation to limit the Clippers' offense, and we have to praise Stephen Curry for his performance in the first quarter, where he played at the level of MVP."

Jeff Van Gundy didn't expect the Warriors to put on a five-man lineup after the opening, and Bogut completely fell out of the rotation.

Commentator Mike Brin also praised Curry's performance:

"5-of-7, 3-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and 17 points in a single quarter, Curry's performance was impeccable."

Mark Jackson had lemons in his heart, but on the surface he was silent, and added:

"DeAndre Jordan's failure to punish Green on the inside allowed the Warriors to play unscrupulously, and of course, it had something to do with the Clippers' inaccuracy on the outside."

"After all, this is the home court of the Warriors, they can let go tonight, G3 is a game that the Warriors can't lose!"

On the Clippers bench, Tucker was still annoyed by the three-pointers he missed, and even if the Warriors' defense rotated quickly, there would always be open opportunities for more and less shots.

But it's a pity that the start of the game was average, which was related to the excessive pressure on the defensive end, and the Clippers found that they couldn't squeeze in the cover, and as a result, they were found by the opponent to find a lot of mismatches.

"It's good to do your best on the defensive end, you can't get past the screen, so just switch defenses and don't care about the points you lose."

"The opponent feels so good, and he is only 5 points ahead of us, relax! We can afford to lose! ”

Li Ze found that his teammates had some unbalanced mentality, and there was no need to take it seriously when it came to moving and blocking, both sides were benefiting.

Hearing Li Ze's words, everyone nodded along with them, and the first quarter of the game did lose its previous rhythm.

"There is an open space and continue to shoot, there is still a long time to play, believe in yourself, ok?"

Coach De Nagro simply clapped his hands and reminded his players to keep shooting.

Jokic only played more than three minutes after the opening game, and was substituted, and the white fat man couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the court, and Curry could only give away points in the face of an explosive hand.

Although Jordan Jr., who has a better lateral movement speed, gets a lot of playing time, he also performs average on the defensive end, and the away whistle is indeed much stricter.

The Warriors finally made a rotation, with Livingston, Klee, Harrison Barnes, Barbossa, and David Lee coming in.

On the Clippers' side, Li Ze, who played the full first quarter, continued to appear, and Crawford, Tucker, Ingles, and Jokic rotated on the court.

Taking advantage of the Warriors' sideline ball, Li Ze simply told the white fat man:

"Improve the screen position and don't hesitate to shoot."

The Warriors' offense in the first round was still very simple, Kelai quickly cut the baseline from left to right, blocked the position on the right side, and with the help of David Lee's cover, got rid of Li Ze's defense, and drifted to hit the iron from mid-range after receiving the ball.

The rebound was protected by Jokic, and Harris Barnes immediately stepped forward to counter-attack, delaying the Clippers' offense before quickly retreating.

After Li Ze took the ball, everyone in the Warriors had basically returned to halfcourt.

“defense! defense! defense! ”

Warriors fans shouted loudly, and after halftime, Li Ze glanced at the matchup on the court and immediately signaled Jokic to go up to block and dismantle.

As soon as David Lee saw Jokic running directly outside the three-point line, his scalp suddenly tingled, and he hoped that Kelai would be able to squeeze through the cover.

Li Ze held the ball in his right hand, faced Kelai's close defense, suddenly accelerated after protecting the ball with his back, dribbled forward with a big step, and then quickly dribbled behind his back.

The left hand was quickly in and out, and Kelai, who had just slid in front of Li Ze, was a little dazed in an instant, swaying right and left, and easily stuck half of his body under the sudden stop.

Kelai, who wanted to speed up the defense, suddenly bumped into Jokic at this time, and David Lee saw that Li Ze's center of gravity was low, and he was completely numb.

Subconsciously chose to step forward to delay, but was directly passed by Li Ze's push, David Lee desperately slid to the left rear, and the two were entangled and rushed into the paint area.

The Warriors fans exclaimed, and the traveling Lee suddenly turned around quickly, once again wiping David Lee's defense.

When David Lee turned around to block, he found that Li Ze had already risen into the air, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and smashed the ball directly into the basket!

"Boom! Squeak..."

When the ball went into the whistle, Li Ze's turn and dunk violently, causing David Lee to make a foul.

David Lee almost rushed to the street, and when he saw Li Ze's expressionless appearance, he was worried in his heart, once his teammates couldn't squeeze through the cover, he would be completely affected...

"Shhhh

The Warriors fans booed wildly, and the front-row fans even began to spit fragrantly, and the Warriors fans also had credit for the success of the black 8 back then, Oracle Arena, what stood out was a passion!

At 29:31, Li Zejia hit a free throw and hit a 3-pointer successfully, watching the point difference narrowed, Steve Kerr hesitated a little, and finally shouted loudly to remind his players to stay defensive attention.

“lets go warriors! lets go warriors! lets go warriors! ”

The DJ at the scene began to shout loudly, and the fans kept shouting, the Warriors' offense was very patient, Livingston held the ball, blocked and dismantled at the top of the arc, got rid of Crawford's defense, leaned on Jokic, and circled on the inside.

On the left wing, David Lee's off-ball cover allowed Barbosa to escape Tucker's pursuit, and after sending a pass from the top of the arc, Jokic's assistant defense was a step slower, and Barbossa received the ball and went straight to the basket.

As soon as he took three strides, Barbosa immediately spotted Ingles suddenly standing in front of him, throwing the ball to Harrison Barnes in the bottom corner and knocking Ingles to the ground in front of him.

"Squeak!"

The two stood up, Ingles clapped incessantly, the referee blew for an offensive foul, and Steve Kerr on the sidelines complained loudly to the referee:

"It was a beautiful pass! I got the player to have no fouls! ”

“referee sucks! referee sucks! referee sucks! ”

The Warriors fans at the scene also began to curse the referee, but unfortunately they could not change the referee's decision.

Li Ze dribbled the ball across the half court, noticed that the Warriors wanted to have a direct package, and immediately distributed the ball to Crawford on the left wing.

Barbosa quickly adjusted his defensive focus and moved back in front of Crawford.

It was also a high-post block, and Crawford's breakthrough also attracted the defense of the two, and as a scoring point in the rotation lineup, the Warriors focused on taking care of it tonight.

Jokic didn't choose to go down immediately after the pick-and-roll, but took the opportunity to return to the top of the arc, received Crawford's return pass, immediately put the ball with his right hand, and moved laterally to the right wing.

Li Ze suddenly accelerated and ran back after shaking it, and after receiving the hand-handed pass, the white fat man's cover also came and squeezed directly.

As soon as David Lee came back to the defense, he saw Li Ze carrying Kelai, holding the ball in his left hand and accelerating the breakthrough.

Warriors fans saw David Lee quickly step forward to block, first a burst of cheers, and then an exclamation, Li Ze actually accelerated again, under the defense of the two, broke through to the bottom left of the basket, drifted to the left and threw the ball to the basket with one hand.

David Lee and Kelai jumped up at the same time to block, but the arc of the ball was too high, and both of them lost their center of gravity and immediately hit Li Ze, and all three fell to the ground at the same time...

"Bang... Hmmm.."

"Squeak!"

Turning his head to see the ball fall into the basket on the high board, and hearing the referee's whistle, Kelai and David Lee stood up and looked at each other.

On the Warriors bench, everyone subconsciously covered their faces, Li Ze's breakthrough tonight was too fierce...

Everyone in the Clippers immediately gathered around Li Ze, pulled up Jin's thighs, and came to score three points again, shrimp and pig hearts!

"Shhhh

The Warriors fans erupted in loud boos again, coupled with a lot of scolding the referees, and the atmosphere in Oracle Arena exploded.

With Lee's penalty hit again, the defense-breaking Steve Kerr immediately called a timeout, and he had to replace David Lee.

At 32:31, in less than two minutes, the Clippers overtook the score, and commentator Mike Brin subconsciously raised his voice:

"Kayce once again showed us why he was elected MVP! Unparalleled personal ability! ”

"At the moment, I am 6-of-8, 1-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, 19 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and I'm really looking forward to Kayce's explosion in the second quarter!"

Jeff Van Gundy didn't care about Steve Cole's emotions and immediately fired up:

"For such an important game, there is no need to increase the rotation, and if the Warriors lose tonight, the series will be completely over, and then it is time to take the main team and fight for the game."

"Draymond Green has to be on the floor, he's the Warriors' defensive barrier!"

The Warriors kept Barbosa after the timeout, giving Yoongodala a breath of relief, and Curry and Green re-entered.

On the Clippers' side, Paul also came on early, replacing Crawford, who struggled defensively.

The Warriors' pick-and-roll cover became more and more ferocious, Green almost hugged Li Ze directly on the bottom cover near the baseline on the right side, and Jokic was forced to switch defenses, but was forced to shoot by Kelai's right block drift.

At 32:33, the Warriors took another 1-point lead!

Paul noticed that the referee's blowing scale seemed to have changed again, and the Clippers did the same, Jokic on the left near baseline position to Li Ze's baseline to cover the baseline, and also moved a small step to block Kelai behind him.

Green, who came up from the defense, was very fast, and saw Li Ze's position on the left side of the blocking area to receive the ball, and subconsciously slowed down, and the next second Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and stepped forward, and Green immediately accelerated to defend.

The two rushed into the paint area at the same time, and Li Ze, who was moving, suddenly suddenly took a big stride to the left front, a large European step, and instantly staggered the defense, Green didn't have time to turn around and block, and saw Li Ze pick up the basket with his left hand!

The Warriors attacked quickly, Green blocked and dismantled at the top of the arc, took Paul away, Curry broke through to Jokic's left-handed goat, took a big step forward and then suddenly retreated, and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!

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

Before the Warriors had time to celebrate, the Clippers were also about to serve the baseline ball, and while the defensive attention was on Li Ze, Paul suddenly accelerated after dribbling across the halfcourt, blocking and dismantling high to get rid of Curry's defense.

Facing Green who came up from the change of defense, he quickly changed direction with his left hand in front of the movement, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and leaned on Green in the paint area to pick up the basket!

"Whew! Chirping! ”

Amid the boos of the Warriors fans, Paul's free throw hit the ball safely.

At 37:36, the Clippers overtook the score again!

Barbosa held the ball at the top of the arc, and Curry used the cover of Harrison Barnes and Green to bounce to the right wing outside the three-point line, receive the pass, and throw it immediately!

"Huh!" The three-pointer is scored again!

In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans shouted happily, but in the next round, Li Ze asked for the ball with his back in the left elbow area, and then suddenly bounced out.

Get rid of Kelai's defense for a short time, and throw the ball the moment you catch it!

"Oh!"

In an exclamation, the ball went into the net!

As the quality of the screen rose (moving pick-and-roll), both teams had a lot of catch-and-shoot shots.

Steve Kerr on the sidelines would cheer for Curry's goal at first, but after Li Ze responded continuously, he could only stand on the sidelines and watch the game...

Coach De Nagro couldn't sit still, standing on the sidelines and loudly reminding his players to pay attention to defense.

The pace of the game is getting faster and faster, and after the iron strikes, the transition attack also increases.

Jokic, who returned to the bench, was already confused, and the court completely turned into the rhythm of the Warriors, and in his playing time, Curry didn't seem to miss a shot.

At this time, Jordan Jr. had returned to the court, and Yin Godala also replaced Barbossa, and the two teams officially started the offensive battle.

The ESPN commentator continued to exclaim, and when the halftime was over, watching the score on the court become 62:62, commentator Mike Brin let out a sigh:

"It's unbelievable that the Clippers withstood the Warriors' offense and equalized the score..."
