Chapter 313: The Suns Increase Their Defensive Intensity
Zhou Yang nodded vigorously and punched Curry: "Well done, Stephen!" ”
As soon as Curry threw away, the Suns' defense collapsed in an instant.
Originally, the Suns' defense was average, but now that the rest of the Warriors players have regained their touch, the number of Suns players is not enough.
Zhou Yang was not idle, and in the interval between his teammates' wild attacks, he would also take advantage of the distractions of the Sun defenders to do two strikes.
At halftime, the score came to 63-48 and the Warriors led by 15 points.
"God, the Suns' defense was completely messed up under the impact of Zhou Yang, how did they win the championship last year?"
"Barkley, how dare you say it, aren't you afraid that the Suns fans will spray you?"
"That's what I thought, if it wasn't for the Warriors' injuries last year, the Warriors would have won the championship last year!"
"Not necessarily, the Celtics were strong last year."
"Forget it, it's all over, but this year's warriors are really strong, and the sun can't beat them at all."
"The Suns offense is fine, but the defense is really not good, or rather, Zhou Yang is too strong."
……
Sun locker room.
Nash and Smalls sat side by side, neither spoke.
It was Grant Hill who broke the deadlock, after all, his oldest star on the team.
"Brothers, let's fight with the warriors to attack!"
Stoudemire's face was pale, he simply looked down on the Warriors, thinking that the Warriors were imitating the Suns' running shots.
"I agree, let's fight against the Warriors and let them see who is the real runner!"
Xiao Si roared hatefully.
Nash was still more calm.
He said suddenly: "It's okay to attack, but the defense still has to be strengthened, Zhou Yang and Curry are not easy to defend, the foul must be in place, hold it directly, but don't get hurt." ”
Hill was quite convinced by Nash, nodded and said: "Yes, the foul must be in place, as long as you don't hurt people, it's fine!" ”
As a player who has been badly injured, Hill knows the pain, so his defensive moves are very regular.
……
At the beginning of the second half, the Suns made a change and launched an offensive attack with the Warriors.
At the same time, on the defensive end, Zhou Yang and Curry were brought down as soon as they got the ball.
The action is big, but not rough.
This defensive strategy worked well, and although the Warriors entered the free throw phase early, the Suns ran and shot, scored back-to-back points, and the margin was narrowed.
The third quarter played more than four minutes, and the score came to 71:60, and the Warriors' lead was only 11 points.
Nelson Sr. is still considering whether to pause.
Just when he hesitated, Zhou Yang quickly responded on the field.
"Stephen, come here......" While his teammates were making free throws, Zhou Yang pulled Curry aside and whispered a few words.
The Suns attacked, and Nash made a long pass across the half court and flew into the hands of Stoudemire.
Stoudemire had already scored two goals like this just now, and no one could stop him when he rushed.
Every time Zhou Yang wanted to pounce to make up for the defense, he was stopped by the other two and hugged him, and the referee didn't seem to see it.
But this time, Zhou Yang didn't get used to them.
Just as Zhou Yang was about to assist in defense, he suddenly ran towards the referee.
Richardson, who was defending him, still wanted to hug Zhou Yang, but he turned his back to the referee, and his attention was all on Zhou Yang.
Poof!
Richardson's muscular body knocked the referee to the ground.
This referee is not young, and this is a hit, and he is full of meat and vegetables.
The other referee saw it, and immediately the whistle blew and pointed at Richardson!
Just after half-time, Stoudemire heard the whistle and had to stop.
Zhou Yang hid aside and snickered.
"Haha, Zhou Yang is too smart, he hacked the referee!"
"Who let the referee pretend to be blind just now, Zhou Yang didn't care if he was hugged."
"This hit is not light, I think the referee is still being forced!"
……
The home fans were overjoyed, and they were all applauding Zhou Yang's wit.
The ball is converted and the Warriors attack.
Turkoglu sent the ball directly to Zhou Yang, and Richardson wanted to hug Zhou Yang again.
But Zhou Yang used [fancy dribbling] to start maneuvering with Richardson.
Grant Hill thought Zhou Yang was going to play singles, so he immediately gave up Curry and pounced.
Zhou Yang wanted this hand, he pretended to break through, but between the two, he stuffed the ball to Curry.
In fact, it was all a matter of a moment, and Richardson didn't have a chance to foul if he wanted to!
Curry was prepared, and after receiving the ball, he didn't wait for Nash to come over to make up for the defense, and immediately made a three-point shot!
Swish!
It's fast!
A cloud-piercing arrow!
The Warriors' home fans cheered again.
In this wave just now, the Suns relied on foul tactics to chase points again and again, and some fans have begun to panic.
But Zhou Yang stood up again and cracked the Suns' defensive tactics!
Gentry stood on the sidelines, shaking his head helplessly.
He couldn't figure out why the second-year rookie would be so sophisticated in playing, he was simply an old ruffian who had played for more than ten years.
Even the referee took advantage of it, who would have thought of this?
In the next few rounds, when Zhou Yang was without the ball, he deliberately ran around the referee.
Aren't you pretending to be blind? Then I'll give you a taste of what it's like to be hit.
Under Zhou Yang's clever plan, the Warriors stabilized the situation, and the point difference was opened again.
The four commentators and guests in the T-NT live broadcast room were also dumbfounded.
“WTF? Will Zhou Yang still use this trick? That's smart! Barkley couldn't help but laugh.
"Did you say he did it on purpose?" Smith was still pretending to be confused.
"Smith, you're such a master of pretending to be confused, he obviously did it on purpose!"
"Will you be fined after the game?"
"It should be fine, he's making full use of the rules, and besides, he didn't hit it."
"Speaking of assault referees, I think of one person - Thomas Jr. ......"
"Hahaha, you said he touched the female referee's chest with one hand?"
"yes, I can't help but laugh when I think about that picture now!"
"He shouldn't have done it on purpose, otherwise it's too much......"
"It's hard to say, that female referee is good-looking, very beautiful, I remember the uproar at the time!"
……
The more these commentators talked, the more crooked they became, and if it weren't for the director's signal, they wouldn't know where to drive the car.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still led by 17 points.
Basically, the big picture is decided.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Gentry changed to the main force and fought for 3 minutes, with a score difference of 20.
The Suns had no choice but to withdraw their troops and announce their surrender.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Suns 109-96 to make it two straight home wins.
In this way, the Warriors have a 2-0 lead over the Suns.
The much-anticipated Western Finals War turned out to be one-sided!
Countless media outlets and fans were stunned.
I thought it was Mars hitting the Earth, the battle of the century between the challenger and the defending champion, but as a result-
That's it?
