Su Chen was very satisfied, and Popovich was also very satisfied.

Six points behind is within Popovich's acceptable range.

But looking at Curry's appearance, even if he rests in the third quarter, he may not be able to recover much physical strength in the final quarter.

And without Curry, he laid out a strategy against Thompson and Draymond Green, confident that the Warriors would directly fall into a scoring drought.

Half-time.

The commentary booth was not idle.

"Curry showed a really strong ability in the first two quarters, but when he came off the court, it was clear that he was exhausted."

"The strong performance in the first half was actually overdrawn in exchange for physical strength, and Popovich deliberately did not adjust his strategy, and it seems that he fell into Popovich's trap."

Barkley looked at the situation on the field, analyzing.

Barkley's nickname is 'Big Mouth', he is definitely not a neutral commentary, and whoever is unhappy with him will say it directly.

In fact, it's not just Barkley who doesn't have a good impression of Curry, most of the audience also didn't have much of a good impression of Curry before Curry won the championship.

Because Curry is really special, or rather weird.

His three-point throw looks casual, he doesn't need much space to shoot, and he feels somewhat awkward before getting used to Curry's shots.

What does it feel like for Curry to dribble and shoot threes?

It's like picking up a stone from the ground, with no aim or preparation, and suddenly throwing it out.

The audience in this era doesn't dislike three-pointers, they like Maddie's chic dry pulling a lot, and they like Ray Allen's very beautiful textbook shooting.

But Curry's random three-point shooting looks like a random pull, which is not far from everyone's previous impression of basketball.

"The new coach of the Warriors has made a mistake in his strategy, and he is still young."

Even Kenny Smith, who had supported the Warriors before, couldn't help but shake his head.

He felt that Curry's ability was indeed there, but in terms of physical arrangement, Su Chen made too many mistakes.

What's the use of forcing a six-point advantage?

Even James, the famous iron man in the active league, who was close to playing the whole game, did not say that he played with the ball so hard throughout the first half.

James also needs to rest, and this season when Wade is offensive, James will rest on the court.

On the defensive end, because James usually shows a strong defensive impression, and there is no team, he really deliberately picks James to play.

So James nominally played the whole game, but in fact found a lot of rest in both the offensive and defensive rounds.

And what about Curry?

In the first quarter, Curry had a lot of balls and pick-and-rolls, and in the second quarter, Curry had a two-minute break and a lot of singles and pick-and-rolls at the same time.

plus on the defensive end, he also accepted being named by Parker, and he couldn't rest on the defensive end.

Not to mention that Curry's physical fitness is definitely not as good as James, even James himself, such a high-intensity play is unbearable.

"Now it can only be seen if the rest of the Warriors can withstand this pressure."

O'Neal pouted and said, "Although it will be the Spurs who will win, I still want to see a good matchup and not let the final quarter become garbage time." ”

The halftime passed quickly.

The third quarter of the game officially began.

Originally, the commentators were still discussing the development of the second half, but as soon as they saw the players on the court of the Warriors, they couldn't hold back all of a sudden.

"Am I mistaken, the guy in the room is Curry?"

Johnson froze.

"Is the new coach of the Warriors mistaken, this is Stephen Curry, not LeBron Curry."

Barkley couldn't hold back all of a sudden.

"Hahaha, it seems that this new coach is using Curry as a robot, look at Curry's expression."

O'Neill also laughed out loud on the side.

The camera also matched O'Neal's words very well, and went to take a picture of Curry's expression.

Curry himself was also very depressed when he heard that he was going to play in the third quarter, not because he didn't want to play but was really tired.

So now Curry's expression is naturally not too excited, and he is a little helpless.

Curry's expression made several people in the commentary seat laugh.

Even Kenny Smith, who supports the Warriors, couldn't help but laugh along.

As an opponent, Popovich is overestimating Su Chen's opponent as much as possible.

But seeing Su Chen's operation, Popovich didn't understand what Su Chen wanted to do when he overestimated Su Chen as much as possible.

You really don't play the last quarter, right?

Want to knock the Spurs down in the third quarter?

Crazy, crazy!

After Popovich figured it out, he directly called Leonard and Duncan, who were resting on the bench, to the sidelines and waited, ready to change them later.

Although with the Spurs' defense, it was not easy for the Warriors to break down the Warriors in the third quarter.

But Popovich only felt that Su Chen was gambling, and Su Chen knew that it was not easy to win against the Spurs and grab seven wins, so he wanted to fight with the player's three-point touch.

Thompson and Curry are both on the floor at the same time now, and if these two feel at the same time, the Spurs bench may not be able to withstand it.

Anyway, the Spurs main team got a lot of rest before.

Withhold this quarter, Curry basically ran out of energy in the final quarter, and the Spurs basically won this game.

In Thompson's last game, Popovich was well prepared.

Just two rounds into the game, there was a foul.

Leonard and Duncan both swapped in.

All the Spurs are on the team, and they are facing the Warriors, the starters selected by Su Chen.

"Well... The game was going to be decided early in the third quarter. ”

Johnson found out about this and said.

Although the rest of the people are usually more funny and have a show effect, they are all people who have made great achievements in the field of basketball, and they are still relatively professional in judging the situation on the court.

"If you want to break the Spurs in the third quarter, you can only say... The idea is beautiful. ”

O'Neill shook his head.

He is also one of the main opponents of the Spurs in his career, and he knows the resilience of the Spurs, and if it were other teams, he might still have a chance to lose.

Three points is a very floating thing.

Prior to this season, there had never been a team in history that relied on three-point shooting to win a championship.

Even Jordan was a very solid mid-range shot, not a lot of three-point shots.

But the Warriors' offense did not look like everyone thought, and the Warriors really had to fight for three points in this quarter.

Curry basically stood where he was, didn't even run, just stood there.

Draymond Green, holding the ball near the free throw line, watched the others run the game.

Facing Draymond Green, Duncan remembered Popovich's defensive strategy and took two steps back to prevent the inward cut.

With Duncan sitting under the basket, the rest of the people are more focused on defending the off-ball three-pointers, and the inside cut doesn't need to be considered.

With such a strategy, the Warriors' tactics are simply difficult to run.

And at this time, Draymond Green saw that Duncan was not defending him and directly chose a throw.
