Chapter 526: You can't restrain Zhou Yang
The second quarter played more than 4 minutes, and the score of the two teams was 37:34, and the Warriors led by 3 points.
Nelson Sr. changed all the main players to the court again.
Today, Zhou Yang's determination was particularly strong, and old Nelson also saw it, so he did not hesitate to replace Zhou Yang on the field again.
Zhou Yang in the second quarter did not disappoint the home audience, and began to show his might again.
He gave up the range of attack outside the three-point line to Curry and Turkoglu, and Zhou Yang himself frequently killed the restricted area.
Chandler began to eat cakes, and Curry and Turkoglou on the outside also received exquisite passes from Zhou Yang.
Under the leadership of Zhou Yang, the Warriors quickly opened the score.
No one in the Spurs team can restrain Zhou Yang!
Even if Leonard and Danny Green are in the bag, it's the best outside defensive combination in the league today.
Even they can't do it, I don't know who else can prevent Zhou Yang.
At the end of the first half, the score was 61-51, and the Warriors led by 10 points.
This point difference made Spurs fans be poured cold water head-on.
This season, the Spurs can be said to be menacing, and the team's new and old lineups have reached their peak, which is very reasonable.
The Spurs have a good chance of continuing their dynastic path and fighting for another title.
It's a pity that this game made Spurs fans completely sober.
As long as Zhou Yang is here, the Spurs' championship hopes are very slim.
Now they can only hope that they will not meet the Warriors in the playoffs, or that the Warriors will be eliminated by other teams early.
The three guests in the TN-T live broadcast room are commenting on the game.
Today's guest is Spurs legend, Admiral Robinson.
Robinson, as one of the four centers of the year, has a deep affection for the Spurs.
In fact, when he was in the Spurs, his record was average, but his personal ability was still recognized.
It's just that Robinson really doesn't have much advantage in front of Olajuwon and Karl Malone.
That's why some people said he was soft.
Fortunately, the Spurs later had Duncan, so Robinson and Duncan formed a twin-tower tactic and won the championship in an instant.
After winning the championship, Robinson's physical condition deteriorated and he slowly withdrew from the NBA.
"Robinson, the Spurs have a good record this year, winning against the Thunder and Clippers, and also winning one game against the Warriors, do you think the Spurs in the playoffs have any hope of breaking out of the West?"
Smith sent a soul torture to Robinson.
Robinson was quite active and talked a lot before the game.
But at half-time, he was a little wilted.
"Oh...... The Spurs' lineup this season is still good, the combination of old and new, and the tactics are also very mature, but the Warriors' style of play is obviously more advanced, and Zhou Yang's superstar is too good, and no one in the Spurs can limit ......"
As a famous legend of the Spurs, saying these words shows that Robinson is more optimistic about the Warriors.
There is only one reason, and that is that the warriors have Zhou Yang.
Barkley nodded and said: "Yes, Zhou Yang won the three-point championship again this year, but he gave up the three-point, which shows that the Warriors' offensive firepower coverage is too large!" ”
"That's right, Curry's style of play this season is getting more and more mature, and the Warriors are equivalent to two superstars!"
"It's up to these four teams in the West this year, the Spurs, the Warriors, the Thunder and the Clippers."
'It's a bit disrespectful to say that, but it's too hard to beat these four teams in seven games.
……
After the start of the second half, the Spurs changed their style of play.
Popovich still has something.
He continued to wrap up Zhou Yang, and at the same time let Parker stick to Curry and Duncan assisted, causing a big delay.
The Spurs are out of the way, preferring to let the inside shoot rather than let the Warriors' outside shoot away.
In this case, Tekoglu has to play, because he is the third point of possession in addition to Zhou Yang and Curry.
But today, Turkoglou's hand seemed to be average, he missed two shots himself, and after passing to Chandler, Chandler couldn't beat Split, and there was Duncan's help defense.
This change of formation caught the warriors off guard.
The Spurs actually closed the gap to one point in six minutes.
Old Nelson shook his head angrily and called a timeout.
He and Popovich are old rivals, and they know that this old boy has a good set.
After Zhou Yang was trapped, he reduced his shots and handed over the ball to his teammates, which didn't seem to work very well.
There is no way, Zhou Yang can't play every ball by himself.
The Spurs' defensive strength is still the first in the league.
Although Duncan is old, his experience, as well as his sensitivity to help defend on the court, are top-notch.
During the pause, Old Nelson didn't talk to Zhou Yang, but yelled at the others: "You have to concentrate, you can't always count on Zhou Yang alone!" ”
"Be more resolute and decisive in your attack, don't hesitate!"
This is a common phenomenon in strong teams.
A strong team, if you want to reach the championship strength, you must have superstars.
But the existence of superstars does not affect the state of other people.
And the superstar should have a sense of giving up power to cultivate the independent offensive awareness of teammates.
Because the star of every team will be taken care of.
Even Jordan, the god of basketball, struggled to break out of the East until his teammates grew up.
Only when a teammate grows can he lead the team to the next level.
The Warriors have won two consecutive championships, which is already the target of public criticism, and each team has studied the Warriors quite thoroughly.
As long as Zhou Yang is strangled, other people's performance will not be so stable.
This is also a weakness of the Warriors.
Of course, as long as they enter the playoffs, a best-of-seven series, the Warriors have a big advantage, because Curry and other key players can't play out of shape for four consecutive games.
But in an occasional game, the probability of pulling across is still not small.
That's what happened to the Warriors in the first half of the third quarter.
Zhou Yang sat on the chair, slowly wiping his sweat, he was a little angry.
Obviously, his teammates are a little underestimated, which is unacceptable to Zhou Yang.
But he didn't complain about his teammates, after all, this is the price of decentralization, and now it is up to his teammates to be nervous and reinvigorated.
After the timeout, the Warriors made no substitutions and continued to play with all their main players.
The Spurs did not make any substitutions, after all, they relied on this wave of people just now, and there were tactics to limit Zhou Yang.
But after the pause, the situation changed!
Curry and Turkoglu suddenly broke out and played extremely hard!
In the process of scrambling, Turkoglu knocked Duncan to the ground.
It was unthinkable before.
With the strength of the warriors, the score gap has slowly widened. 33
Zhou Yang is very happy, his teammates played well, and he was even happier than he played well.
The third quarter played more than nine minutes, and the score came to 87-78, and the Warriors led by nine more points.
Some people died, but not completely......
