Chapter 54: Western Champions, Advance to the Finals

In this game, Su Chen did not start with a five-small lineup, but chose Aizeli's starting center, the normal style of play of the Warriors before.

I don't know if I'm scared.

Lionel Hollins actually opted for a lot of three-point defense strategies.

It also reduced the amount of time Randolph and Gasol Jr. were on the field at the same time, giving Bombesset a lot of time on the field.

As soon as he saw the strategy chosen by Lionel Hollins, Su Chen knew that this was a sure deal.

Lionel Hollins was scared of two shots, and as a result, he gave up his inside advantage and further weakened his offense in order to defend.

At the beginning, it really let the Grizzlies defend for a while and played a good game for a few minutes.

But soon, the Warriors had a lot of passing and cutting tactics and directly broke through the Grizzlies' defense.

Not to mention Jefferson and Green, even Curry has a chance to cut inside and play two.

In addition, the Grizzlies' interior offensive advantage is gone, if it weren't for the Grizzlies' ability to feel Conley in the first quarter, the Grizzlies would have collapsed in the first quarter.

The Warriors' players were extremely excited to play at home, and with a certain home whistle, the Grizzlies were completely powerless to parry.

Lionel Hollins chose the wrong strategy at the beginning and wanted to adjust later, but the point difference was no longer able to catch up.

This game was played in pieces.

The Warriors didn't give the Grizzlies any chance, the Grizzlies couldn't catch up with the score, and G3 also announced the loss.

The game is over.

Warriors 122: 111 Grizzlies.

Judging from the score, it seems that the two sides are separated by 11 points.

But in fact, everyone who watched the whole court knew that the Grizzlies made mistakes at the beginning, even if there were changes later, but the score was kept under control.

At one point, the difference was stretched to 20 points.

After the Warriors closed the team, the water cooler lineup did not score well and was pulled to 11 points.

But in reality, the Grizzlies don't have a chance at all.

The big score Warriors also played a Grizzlies 3-0.

After winning this, the Warriors are basically in the halfway of the Finals, after all, there has never been a team in the history of the league that can turn the tables 3-0.

This is not some unwarranted question of probability.

First of all, if a team can be beaten 3-0, it means that there is a gap with the opponent.

In the case that there is a gap, even if there is an explosion for some reasons, it is terrible to have two consecutive explosions.

In the Oracle Center arena, the fans did not leave the stadium for a long time, and it was difficult for everyone to hide the excitement in their hearts.

Everyone was celebrating.

"It's amazing, it's more shocking than the Black Eight back then."

A veteran fan who has witnessed the Warriors couldn't help but sigh.

He looked at the young man in the middle of the field, in a neat suit.

After Su Chen won the game, he didn't seem particularly excited.

In the first two games, he had already figured out the strength of this Grizzly Bear, and he hadn't counted it before, but he had it in his heart after two games.

can be swept by the Spurs, this Grizzlies team is really not that strong.

Su Chen handed his tactics board to a staff member, and he straightened his suit for an interview.

"Coach Su Chen, look here."

An Oracle Arena staff photographer called Su Chen.

It just so happened that Su Chen was in high spirits, and the way he sorted out his suit was taken down.

Next.

Outside the Oracle Arena, a huge poster was hung temporarily.

That poster was the photo from last night, Su Chen's expression was serious, and his eyes were sharp and he was arranging his collar.

On the other side of Su Chen, there is the image of Curry wearing a jersey and biting braces, and slapping a basketball in his hand.

There is also a list of instructions in English.

[On May 27, the Warriors will hit the battle of the Finals! ] 】

Obviously, it was the idea of the Warriors management to sell the tickets for a good price.

After Su Chen saw this poster, he couldn't help but smile dumbly.

The management is really capable of doing it.

"In this way, if the end is not over, I am sorry for the warm-up of the management."

Su Chen smiled lightly.

A few days later.

Oracle Center Arena.

The score of 0-3 made the Grizzlies lose their sharpness.

The three cores of the Grizzlies want them to play steadily, and it's very simple, and they're good at that.

But if they want to explode at a critical moment, it will be really difficult for them.

I don't have the ability to know.

Coupled with Su Chen's special defense against them and the strategy of letting role players handle the ball, the Grizzlies' three cores all played sluggishly.

Conley had just nine points and five assists, Randolph 12 and Gasol Jr. 11.

The three cores are all pulled.

It was still relied on the role player Poundside's 23-point play to delay until it collapsed in the first three quarters.

Full time score: Warriors 101-92 Grizzlies.

The Warriors swept the Grizzlies and advanced to the Finals.

He is also the champion of the West now.

For a team like the Warriors, it is a thing to celebrate to be able to win a Western Conference championship.

Su Chen looked at the golden color bars floating in the air, more calm than he had imagined before.

The Grizzlies' three cores were all pulled, which is very consistent with the previous game with the Spurs, and the Grizzlies were also all three cores when they were swept by the Spurs.

He just used some of Popovich's defensive tactics at the time to replicate that game against the Grizzlies.

In fact, this is also the difference between stars and supergiants, it's not that they don't want to explode, they really don't have that ability under high-intensity defense.

Su Chen looked very indifferent, it was not that he could pretend, but that he knew that the finals were the real battle.

According to the original timeline, the Heat are the champions of this season.

When facing James and Wade, two supergiant-level players, this difficulty is completely different from the current Grizzlies.

The two pinnacle supergiants are also different from the Spurs' elderly supergiants.

Don't look at the original timeline next season's Spurs won the championship, but next season is Leonard's real transformation season to supergiant.

The FMVP wasn't won purely by defending James either.

In a total of five games, Leonard was the highest score in the Spurs team in three games, and in G3, he scored 29 points while limiting James to 22 points.

With a team of young supergiants, it's still very troublesome to deal with.

Of course, there is also a supergiant in the Warriors, and that is Curry.

It's just that the outside world doesn't recognize Curry's style of play now, and Curry hasn't been an All-Star until now, and he looks like a dumpling-eating player.

The Grizzlies' players looked aggrieved at this time, and they were all disgraced, after all, they couldn't hold back after being swept away.

Before the game, they thought that the Warriors were the dividends they were given, but now it seems that they have become the dividends themselves.

Who is going to reason with this?

However, Conley and others can't afford to lose.

If you lose, you lose, and you don't put on a bad face, shaking hands and hugging the young people of the warriors.

It's just that the disappointment on his face can't be hidden.

"Congratulations."

At this time, Lionel Hollins also walked over.

Su Chen smiled and shook hands with Lionel Hollins.

"Maybe it's time for me to figure out what defense is."

Lionel Hollins shook her head a little self-deprecatingly.

Lionel Hollins, who was originally a coach who looked down on such a three-point game, also doubted himself at this time.
