Chapter 754: The difficulty of the third consecutive village, kill or overtime?(1/2)
At this point in the game, the Warriors had no way out, but after playing for such a long time, their five deadliest players had been on the court for nearly half of the game. This was a very bad situation for Yingodala.
momentum.
After all, Yingodala is the oldest player among the Five Death Squadrons.
But despite this, Cole still did not dare to use the players at the end of the bench to compete with the main players of the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers are different from other teams. Once they come on the bench, the rhythm of the game will change.
It will fall apart quickly.
Especially No. 36. According to Cole's research, that player's physical fitness is absolutely monster level. As long as he dares to change the lineup, he will definitely be chased and beaten by No. 36.
Fortunately, the other main players of the Warriors are all young and strong and in their prime. Even if Yingodala restrains himself on the offensive end, he only needs to maintain defensive efficiency.
So during this timeout, Cole did not change the lineup. He just encouraged the players a few words and told them not to play again.
Warriors possession.
Curry made a tactical gesture while dribbling, and the Warriors attached great importance to the next attack. After all, both sides are the top teams in the league, and everyone is well aware of the changes in the rhythm of the game and the momentum of the scene.
If the fifth team can't score again, then the Warriors will really be suppressed by the Trail Blazers. Even if it is only for a short period of time, it will be enough to lead to the final defeat.
It’s not because of anything else, just because there is an active center who is the best offensive and defensive center standing in the opposite penalty area!
This guy has penetrated the Warriors' inside line, so they must boost morale on the offensive end to drive defense.
Until now, the inside line is basically hopeless. BoGt has five fouls, and Green and Yingodala also have four fouls. They have all been forced to use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but they still can't prevent it!
At this time, the final quarter of the game has entered the second half, and they must find a way elsewhere.
When they arrived at the scene, the Warriors still used pick-and-roll and rotation. After being replaced on defense, they picked-and-roll again and rotated again. They played very patiently.
There was not much time left in the offensive round, and the Blazers players became more focused. Foley gritted his teeth and chased Curry and followed him, but was quickly blocked by Thompson who moved over.
"I'm blocked! Substitute! Pay attention to No. 30!"
So Barton turned and rushed towards Curry, but at this moment, Yingodala suddenly came over and formed an elevator door with Thompson, blocking the Blazers' defenders tightly and without leakage.
"Damn it! It was almost..."
Patton tried his best, but Yingodala was also famously strong and blocked him. In the end, he could only watch the Warriors No. 30 receive the orange basketball...
"Whoosh!"
The basketball left Curry's hand, flew toward the basket, and finally hit the net.
The Warriors broke the scoring drought and the point difference returned to 4 points.
"Stephen Curry hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc! Sure enough, the boss has to be strong at the critical moment! The Warriors have withstood the Trail Blazers' defensive pressure. Are they going to counterattack next?"
Van Gundy roared excitedly.
When the game reached this anxious moment, every point was particularly precious. He was mesmerized by the wonderful battles on the field. For him, no matter who won tonight, his time to commentate was not in vain.
When the Trail Blazers attacked, Wang Zelin fell into the low post to receive Beverley's pass. However, the next moment he encountered a three-man double-team from the Warriors and had no choice but to pass the ball back.
Beverley caught the ball at the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer directly, but missed. The basketball hit Lan's neck and bounced high.
It can be seen from this that the Trail Blazers' lineup is not without its shortcomings. If Wang Zelin is the main attacker for a long time, it may cause the teammates' touch to decline. Just like now, some open opportunities cannot be grasped.
Another point is that Wang Zelin is a big center after all. He is not like Allen Iverson, who can directly receive the ball from the backcourt and attack independently. He must have one more step for his teammates to pass the ball, which gives the already
The highly mobile Warriors have the opportunity to double-team.
"Duang!"
The basketball hit the basket and popped out. Green and Yingodala blocked Wang Zelin one after another. Thomson successfully grabbed the rebound, and then the five Warriors quickly launched a fast break counterattack like arrows.
In a three-on-two frontcourt, Barnes cut in without the ball, received the ball at the basket and finished with a layup.
The terrifying point-chasing ability of the five small schools has once again been cashed in.
In the next round, Wang Zelin continued to encounter double-teams after receiving the ball and passed it to Button in the bottom corner, but his shot was slightly shorter and the Blazers' offense still missed.
Under the basket, Thompson was looking at the bounced basketball and preparing to get the rebound.
Perhaps because of the previous round, he thought that Green and Yingodala would definitely be able to block Wang Zelin again.
Little did he know, he underestimated someone's power!
Suddenly, a yellow figure descended from the sky, like a god descending from heaven, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
Thompson only heard a loud noise, and after a burst of impact from behind, he felt as if he had been hit by a speeding locomotive and flew out of the baseline. He was so frightened that he quickly protected his face with his hands.
When he turned over and raised his head, he realized what had just happened. He had been brutally detained by Wang Zelin?!
Wang Zelin landed on the ground and stared coldly at Thompson lying in front of him without saying a word.
It wasn't until Curry and Green rushed over to help Thompson get up that he sneered and turned back to his own position.
"Hiss! It hurts so much!"
Thompson rubbed his sore chest, and then looked at Green with a hint of complaint: "What's wrong with you two? You two can't stop him?"
"This...I don't want to either, but that guy is such a beast! I really can't stop him!"
Green spread his hands in embarrassment, showing that he really tried his best.
"Okay, let's serve quickly, the game isn't over yet."
After seeing Thompson confirming that he was fine, Curry's stern face finally showed a smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, when he looked back and saw the back of No. 36, his face returned to indifference.
Curry must have felt uncomfortable when his good brother was so trampled, so he decided to take this shot himself.
He wants to avenge his good brother!
Offense and defense transition.
When he arrived in the frontcourt, Curry made a new tactical gesture. When his teammates saw it, they quickly pulled away to provide him with space, because they knew that this was Curry's unique singles tactic.
Looking at the Trail Blazers No. 3 in front of him, whose defensive ability was far superior to Lillard, Curry gritted his teeth and started playing singles.
First, it was a drastic change of direction that did not open up space. Beverley is particularly good at stalking defense, and he is not a player who is easily stunned.
Curry was prepared for this. He didn't think he could get past his opponent at once. Moreover, he had no intention of breaking through at all. His real purpose was to make a three-pointer!
I saw Curry lowering his body, putting the basketball under him, and after continuously changing directions, he suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, pulled it outside the three-point line, and then...
"Wow!"
Suddenly he held the ball and pulled it up, his hand speed was amazing.
Curry takes action, and Beverley grits his teeth and pounces with all his strength. There is no need to doubt his hard work. This is also the basis for his survival in the NBA.
However, reality is often cruel, and sometimes efforts may not be rewarded.
For example, the gap in talent.
In terms of physical talent alone, Curry is definitely not outstanding, and is even far inferior to those birds and beasts in the league, but his shooting talent is definitely at a historical level.
Especially the three-point talent, which is almost the best in history!
Curry's three-pointers tonight were very accurate. Just look at the current shooting percentage, which is over 50%. Don't be too scary!
When the basketball flew out of Curry's hands, flew over Beverley's head, and headed straight for the basket, everyone's eyes were fixed on the basketball in the sky, and then...
With a swish sound, the sound of a hollow ball hitting the net came, and Curry hit a three-pointer to help the Warriors chase the point difference to just one point.
“Steph Curry!
"
The home DJ roared forgetfully.
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
Tens of thousands of Warriors fans at home also shouted MVP cheers.
Just at the beginning of December, in the latest MVP rankings of major authoritative media, Curry relied on his superior team record to finally overtake Wang Zelin, who had been ranked above him for a month, and ranked first in the ratings.
It can be said that Curry is definitely the most popular candidate for regular season MVP this year.
It's not that Wang Zelin is inferior to him. In fact, the two are equally matched. Even considering the shocking effect of personal data, Wang Zelin is even better than Curry.
But don't forget, it has been two years since he officially merged with the NBA. Under the framework of the modern basketball system with gradually improving rules, there is only one person who has ever achieved three consecutive regular season MVP awards.
who?
The king of forcing—Larry Bird!
Apart from him, he is as strong as Jordan and as versatile as James, and he has never won the MVP for three years.
Because this involves one thing - aesthetic fatigue!
The fatigue from the media and fans and... NBA officials don't want to see this award monopolized by a certain player, let alone a foreign player.
In the NBA, or rather on Lao Mi's side, the number "3" has been given a special meaning.
If someone can achieve a certain achievement three times in a row in a certain field, it means that he or she dominates this field.
