The players the Spurs were most afraid of before, such as Kobe Bryant and Harden, because these superstars have extremely strong single-play ability, and their offense is often unexpected and unreasonable.

Such a highly disciplined Spurs team is helpless.

And this Warriors team not only has players with extremely strong individual ability, but also two.

The scariest thing is that the Warriors are no worse than the Spurs, if not better.

Because Zhou Yang is the commander on the field, he is the temporary coach!

He will make the fastest response decisions according to the various changes on the field.

This gave Popovich an unusual headache.

As Nelson Sr. had anticipated, after the timeout, Duncan increased his offense.

He hit Chandler one under the basket, with footwork and solid fundamentals.

But the second time, it's not that easy.

Zhou Yang predicted Duncan's footsteps in advance through [Dream Steps].

Just when Duncan turned around and prepared to make a signature 45-degree shot, pop!

Zhou Yang shot early and knocked the ball out of Duncan's hand.

Duncan was shocked and hurriedly commanded his teammates to counterattack, but Zhou Yang had a wide field of vision, a long pass, whoosh!

Curry received a pass from Zhou Yang outside the three-point line and launched a counterattack.

Barbossa also started at the same time from the other side.

Although Parker and Ginobili chased the defense with all their might, Curry made a long-range three-point shot.

Hollow hit again!

The Oracle Arena erupted in a thunderous roar again.

The Warriors' attack only took more than 3 seconds, which is the ultimate running and bombing!

After more than 8 minutes in the first quarter, the two sides began to change the bench lineup one after another, and Zhou Yang also went to rest.

At this point, the score came to 24:17, and the Warriors led by seven points.

Just when the Warriors players thought the situation was going well, the situation changed.

The Spurs' substitute was in great shape, and after coming up, he quickly caught up with the score.

This is the norm for the Spurs, and their bench lineup is about the same as the attacking power of the main team.

George Hill, Bonner, Split, McDyce, Novak.

These are all very practical players.

Braves bench Livingston missed several consecutive shots under the sandwich of Hill and Bonner, which left the Warriors in an offensive drought.

On the Spurs' side, Novak and George Hill hit back-to-back three-pointers.

Tony Allen played hard, he basically locked George Hill at first, but Novak and Bonner opened it up again.

At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 36:34, and the Spurs took a two-point lead.

Nelson Sr. knew the Spurs were hard to play, but he didn't expect to run into difficulties in the first quarter.

As long as Zhou Yang rests, the Warriors' offense will be in trouble.

It's okay to deal with other teams, but when you meet the old and spicy Spurs, it's really difficult to make a substitute.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhou Yang had to appear in advance.

Popovich also had a countermeasure, he asked Bonner to entangle Zhou Yang and prevent him from exerting his strength.

Of course, Zhou Yang was not used to him, and when Bonner pulled himself, Zhou Yang used his brute force to get rid of it easily!

But Bonner's acting ability is really first-class, and every time Zhou Yang gets rid of it, he will sue the wicked first, fall to the ground, and do unbearable pain.

Ginobili used to do this job, but after Ginobili was promoted to the starter, his desire to perform declined, and Bonner was the one who liked to perform.

The referee was also deceived and blew two fouls on Zhou Yang in a row.

With 1 foul in the first quarter, Zhou Yang committed three more fouls.

The Spurs players had a light in their eyes!

Zhou Yang's face was pale, and he walked to the sidelines angrily.

At this point, just over 2 minutes into the second quarter, the Spurs trailed by just over 4 points.

As long as Zhou Yang doesn't play, even if he is 10 points behind, the Spurs are confident to catch up.

Popovich also came hard, and the shouting on the sidelines was 2 degrees higher than just now!

"Race on! As long as Livingston is prevented, the others don't care! ”

The old man can see at a glance the strength of the Warriors' bench, as long as Livingston is strangled, then the offensive power will be reduced by half.

Nelson Sr. had no choice but to replace Curry on the court in advance.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang and Curry are both second-year rookies with unlimited physical strength.

After Curry came on the court, he and Livingston formed a double offensive point to alleviate the decline.

The two sides began to stalemate, and the score alternately rose.

Zhou Yang sat on the sidelines and slowly calmed down, and he found that there were more and more free throws in the recent half.

It is impossible to say that there is no element of the referee's intention.

As a player, it is useless for Zhou Yang to complain.

Both he and Nelson Sr. have been punished by the league for complaining about referees.

So now I can only find a way to avoid being blown as much as possible.

Zhou Yang reviewed himself, indeed, recently he prefers to use his body and fight.

Because of such an explosive style of play, it is easy to boost the morale of the team, but at the same time, it will also be targeted by the referee.

Since this is the case, you can only try to avoid the fight.

Zhou Yang remembered that before the crossing, many fans said that the NBA is getting softer and softer, and it makes sense to be more and more sissy.

The referee is simply blowing nonsense, and there are fewer and fewer confrontations.

Business brushes each other, data explosion!

It's boring.

In the first half of the game, Zhou Yang did not play again.

Curry was also very targeted in the second quarter, and he couldn't stand it alone.

Although he scored 18 points in the second quarter alone, the Warriors trailed the Spurs by 13 points.

65:52, half-time.

The Golden State Oracle Arena was full of scolding, some fans were scolding the referees, and some were scolding the Spurs players.

When Zhou Yang returned to the locker room, his teammates handed over his mobile phone and let Zhou Yang take a look at the All-Star voting status.

Although Zhou Yang was not interested in this, he felt strange to see that the votes of James and Kobe Bryant had suddenly increased a lot today, while his own votes were deadlocked.

The teammate explained: "Just now the Heat defeated the Celtics, James slashed 37 points and handed out 12 assists, so his votes soared, and the Lakers ended the half, leading the Rockets by a large score, and Kobe Bryant scored 23 points at halftime, so the votes also soared." ”

Zhou Yang understood that he didn't play much in the first half, and the team was behind, so the votes didn't rise.

All-Star voting is just that, it changes every moment of the day, and it depends on how well a player performs.

Of course, for superstars, the basic handicap is all there, and the number of votes will not be low.

But if you want to beat the stars of the same class, you need to play well in the near future.

Zhou Yang didn't want to fight for this, but the team's victory was more important, so he pressed his mind and must exert his strength in the second half.

Otherwise, he only scored 12 points in the half, and the Warriors' overall offensive firepower would not be able to withstand it!

The second half began.

The Spurs players were full of confidence, and as soon as they came on the court, they immediately launched an onslaught.

Parker, Ginobili frequently hit the penalty area.

Because they recognized Zhou Yang, they didn't dare to help defend easily.

But they were wrong!
