Chapter 311: The home field is like a rainbow
The momentum that the Suns just played was extinguished by this three-point point.
Turiaf, a water cooler player, has become a small surprise for the Warriors in this playoffs.
His response and cover helped the bench a lot.
Livingston and Curry were both comfortable.
It is estimated that at the end of this season, Turiaf's salary will rise a lot, and the Warriors will have to spend more money if they want to keep him.
In the past two years, Turyaf signed a contract with the Warriors for two years and eight million, which has expired.
Zhou Yang and the members of the atmosphere team waved towels excitedly on the sidelines, more excited than the fans.
Led by Curry, the Warriors bench did not suffer a loss, and it was inseparable from the Suns bench.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was at 35:28, and the Warriors still led by seven points.
Looking at the score difference, but the Warriors are pressing the Suns everywhere, and it is very difficult for the Suns to chase points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Curry went down to rest, and Zhou Yang appeared again.
This kind of substitution was also used by the Warriors in the last round of the series.
The Splash Brothers ensure that at least one person is on the field, which is enough to deter the opponent.
Although Curry's defensive ability is not as strong as Zhou Yang's, under Zhou Yang's guidance, he began to gain muscle moderately, and in terms of strength, he is already in the middle and upper ranks of the league's guards.
At the same time, Curry's flexibility and shooting speed are still top-notch.
What the current Stephen Curry lacks is game experience and leadership skills.
After Zhou Yang came on the court, he continued to maintain a strong attack, and the Suns' bench was miserable.
was shot by Curry just now, and now Zhou Yang can not only shoot, but also defend.
Bang!
Zhou Yang gave old Carter a chase hat!
Syllable!
Zhou Yang cut off Petrus's pass again.
With more than five minutes in the second quarter, the Warriors' lead had extended to 14 points.
Suns head coach Gentry had no choice but to bring in the main lineup again.
If you don't make any substitutions, the game will be spent.
Zhou Yang did not rest and continued to fight, the idea of revenge had been buried in his mind for a whole year!
Finally, finally, Lao Tzu is back again!
Nelson Sr. also switched to the main lineup.
In the second half of the second quarter, Zhou Yang still dominated the game.
The Suns' attack power is not weak, but Zhou Yang's presence makes their offense always fearful.
On the Warriors' side, with the attraction of Zhou Yang and Curry, the whole team blossomed.
In the first two series, Turkoglou played mediocre because the Grizzlies and Mavericks were too good on interior defense.
And the Suns' offense and defense are weak, and for Turkoglou, they are the most comfortable.
So Turkoglu also broke out.
In the second half of the second quarter, Curry took fewer shots, and Turkoglu increased his shots, and he made 3 of 4 three-pointers, which was really cool.
At halftime, the score of the two teams was 68:45, and the Warriors led by 23 points!
Who would have thought that the much-anticipated run-and-bomb battle, the Western Conference Finals, would have such a score in the first game?
At the end of the half, Zhou Yang was not as low-key and modest as usual, but had a fierce face and interacted with the audience.
Warriors fans were also infected by Zhou Yang's emotions and yelled at him!
"Kill the Suns! Second brother Yang Niu Pen! ”
"Second Brother Yang, don't show mercy!"
"Avenge the last Western Decision!"
……
For the first time, Curry saw Zhou Yang so arrogant and domineering, he was a little scared, didn't talk to Zhou Yang, and quietly went back to the locker room.
In the live broadcast room of Huaxia CCTV Sports Channel, Director Zhang and Yu Jia commented.
Before the game, the two experienced commentators were a little nervous.
Since Zhou Yang was born, the two have regarded the Warriors as their home team.
"Coach Zhang, at halftime, I'm really relieved, I'm really afraid that the Warriors will repeat the mistakes of last season."
"Haha, yes, last year's Zhou Yang was alone, but this year, with a helper, the spirit of the whole team is different! To be honest, I prefer Zhou Yang last year, who scored 82 points alone, which is more fierce than Kobe, which is too shocking! ”
"That's right, the first game of last year's Western Finals really explained what a lone hero is, and I have saved the video of that game, just watch it if you have nothing to do, it's very touching."
"Well, from today's half, the Suns offense was okay, but the defense was too bad. It is estimated that in the second half, the Warriors will increase the intensity of the confrontation, and the point difference will widen. ”
"I rarely see Zhou Yang at halftime, I will have that kind of look, I guess I won't give the Suns a chance."
……
The two analyzed correctly, after the start of the second half, Zhou Yang did not relax at all, and continued to put great pressure on the Suns at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The Suns' shooting percentage began to decline.
Chandler's performance in the second half was nothing short of perfect, and the Djinn was like a god.
He gave Stoudemire two big hats in a row in the third quarter!
You must know that Xiao Si's explosiveness is the top in history, and his basket attack ability is the first gear.
But Chandler really fought hard, he saw that Zhou Yang's eyes were red, so he also used his best on the defensive end.
The Warriors team united sincerely and once again played the "Brave Three Crazy"!
With more than six minutes played in the third quarter, the Warriors' lead came to 31 points.
"Oh my God, is this the Western Conference Finals? How do you feel like the Warriors are playing easier than the first two rounds? ”
"It's Zhou Yang who exerts his strength, his eyes are red."
"It must be revenge, the Warriors players were injured last year, otherwise the Warriors would have a good chance of winning the championship."
"Alas, it would have been nice if they had made it to the Finals last year, and this year there are the Big Three of the Heat, and the Warriors still can't win the championship."
"That's not necessarily, the Splash Brothers are more fierce than the Big Three of the Heat!"
"Pull it down, Zhou Yang is okay, can Curry be as good as Wade? Not to mention the Bosh. ”
"Curry's three-point score is better than Wade's, it's hard to say if he really ran into it."
……
Warriors fans are starting to talk about the Finals, and Suns fans are the saddest at this time.
Gentry didn't call a timeout, he sat in the dugout, his eyes glazed over.
Forget it, let's just play like this, if the Suns can't chase within 20 points after the third quarter, then surrender and prepare for the next game.
Later, it was Nelson Sr., and at the 9-minute mark, he called a timeout and replaced all the main players.
At this point, the difference has come to 36 points.
Gentry also replaced the main lineup and announced his surrender!
The fans at Oracle Arena were thrilled, knowing that the defending champion was on the other side!
Many fans are still worried about whether they will fold in front of the Suns again this year.
But the heroes of Golden State, with a big victory, announced the beginning of the road to revenge!
Nelson Sr. and the Warriors weren't overly optimistic, though.
The series has just begun, and a win doesn't mean anything, and it's up to the Suns to respond.
