Chapter 665 Strange phenomena happen every day, especially tonight(1/2)

The Pacers' offensive strength began with Xie Hou.

His offense does not matter who the opponent is, and no one in the Warriors can limit his scoring.

This is the key point, and it is precisely because no one can check and balance, so we can take it and ask for it.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Warriors' offensive cores were Roy and Durant.

Sophomore and super rising star first grade who are close to the All-Star strength.

Letting newcomers take the lead often has unexpected gains. If they are in poor condition, it will also give the team a sense of "choosing ghosts".

Judging from the performance in the first half of the third quarter, Durant and Roy performed well.

The offense is powerful and the defense is focused. It looks like a veteran who has been playing for ten or eleven years, not a newcomer.

If they don't make mistakes that newcomers make, there will be people who really regard them as experienced veterans.

Both of them were fully fire-powered, one broke through and killed or passed the ball, and the other ran out to catch the ball with the cover. In the half quarter, they included the Warriors' total score of 15 points.

The Pacers on the opposite side had too strong offensive firepower. Not only Xie Hou was unsolvable, Papalucas' three-pointer was also opened, and Artest's three-pointer was also opened. The most fatal thing was that Danny Granger's three-pointer was as dazzling as rain.

In the first half of the third quarter, Granger made 4 of 6 three-pointers, which scared the Warriors.

That's not the end.

When the score was pulled to 84 to 71, Nelson called another timeout.

His original intention of calling the pause was to make Granger "calm" and let him commit to it, and they wouldn't win.

As a result, after the pause, Granger felt even more terrifying than before.

Before, he made at least 4 of 6 shots, and he could still miss the ball. After he came back, he would not miss the ball.

He made 4 of 6 shots in the first half of the quarter and 5 of 5 three-pointers in the second half of the quarter.

Moreover, every ball was cut into the hearts of the people of Jinzhou like a knife.

In the first goal, the Warriors defended very well, Xie Hou opened his head in the low post.

They first double-teamed two people, and then double-teamed three people. Xie Hou passed the ball to Artest in the open, and they ran into the position with a quick rotation. Arte continued to transfer the ball, and Papalucas was rotated into the position again. The Greeks made the ball and passed it to Granger, who was two meters away from the three-point line.

Rudy Gay, who is in charge of rotation, may think he is a bit far from the three-point line and will not take action there. His defensive footwork is simply casual compared to others.

If Guy's defense goes a little further, if he puts more pressure on Granger's shot, maybe he won't take a shot, and maybe he won't have the next 5-for-5 three-point shot.

Some ifs, in the idiot's laziness, become eternal questions.

Granger ignored the three-point distance and gave the opponent a free spot, so he boldly made a shot, which was also Claire's intention.

It felt so good to fly high into the sky with three points. Granger always calmed as the faceless person, smiling like a flower blooming.

"Swish!"

"Rudy Guy needs to reflect on his defense!"

"How could he give Danny Granger such a comfortable shooting space?"

"Maybe he thinks that position is not a good position for the shooter, but I can tell him responsibly that the shooter who enters the state, no matter where he gets an open position, is a chance!"

Tell him responsibly? What Xie Hou knows is that these two commentators are typical Zhao Kuo, who is very good at talking about it on paper. He usually doesn’t use the ball or understand the sport in depth. He only knows how to check data, make tables, and make EXCE files to make a lot of talk on TV programs.

In what capacity are they responsible? In the capacity of a keyboard warrior?

However, these two guys who are full of train running are right.

Guy's defense is indeed problematic.

Granger's touch exploded like a wedge, and the next four shots made Warriors fans remember his name and appearance.

The second move, Xie Hou handed the ball to Granger.

Granger received the ball, and then used the cover that Xie Hou gave him, dribble out some space and jumped up and shot.

Now they don't blame Gay. Except for Arenas, Shehou and Kobe, no one in this era has the courage to quit a cover and make a three-pointer.

Granger usually does not have such authority. After the touch explodes, his tactical status has risen sharply.

The third goal, an ordinary three-pointer in the running position.

The Warriors home commentator once again scolded Rudy Gay for his poor defense.

"How can Rudy runs out of the open space so easily?"

"No, really shouldn't."

Don Nelson heard their opinions, and after Granger shot three consecutive three-pointers, he called a timeout, replaced Guy, who was hit by the defense, and replaced Kelana Azubuke.

Azubuk is a typical Kentucky player, with a defense like a mad dog and an offense that has energy.

Unfortunately, both of his advantages are only NCAA-level excellence and cannot be on the stage in the NBA, so he lost the draft. Although he stayed in the league with his own hard work and progress, he could only play as a substitute in most cases.

Suddenly he was asked to defend Granger, which was a bit like giving the main players a lightning.

Azubuk, who was defending like a mad dog, quickly lost two fouls.

Moreover, those two fouls didn't seem to make any sense.

The first is a violent confrontation that shows his attitude when he comes on the court. The referee cannot ignore his defensive actions, and the whistle sounds.

The second one was nonsense. Xie Hou was used as a cover. He wanted to squeeze through, but he actually waved his elbow to the person directly.

He gave him a chance, but Xie Hou didn't play him, so sorry for his acting skills.

Xie Hou, who was twitching on the ground, let Azubuk take a foul.

As soon as the referee blew, Xie Hou jumped up immediately, and there was nothing to do.

"Despicable and shameless!" Azubuk's impression of Xie Hou improved and worsened. He did not expect that the first person in the league would use this method on him.

For this idiot with a simple mind, strong limbs but no brain, Xie Hou always looked at him softly with a caring look on his mind.

The shocking performance brought by Azubuk ended here, and what he brought to Warriors fans next was the same disappointment as Guy.

They can doubt Guy's defense, they can doubt Guy's desire, but they can't doubt Azubuk's defense.

What is the actual situation? Azubuk seems fierce, attractive, and eye-catching defensive energy, but just a show of himself. He is like those who speak loudly and think it makes sense. Speaking loudly does not mean that there is reason. The heavy movement of defense cannot indicate his defensive quality.

In fact, Guy's defense is much better than him. His talent, figure, and athleticism are all things that Azubuk, who is not good at the draft, is not as good as the draft.

However, talented talents often have unfamiliar actions when they are immature. For example, Guy used to let Granger shoot a long three-pointer.

Such a defensive impact force makes people feel that his defense is bad.

On the contrary, Azubuk, a player who is full of energy and mad dog spirit, wants to let everyone in the game see his energy when doing defensive actions. The easiest impression that he leaves is "Wow, he is so excited, serious and devoted, and the defense must be great."

It is undeniable that some defensive players have abundant energy, but their way of expressing energy is mostly trash talk. People like Azubuk who are very powerful on their body are useless except to attract the attention of the audience and referees.

Granger made his fourth move, throwing Azubuk's defense to another half.

Azubuk's low-level mistake is embarrassing and unable to find anyone.

Granger ran out of the open space and scored the fourth three-pointer.

Warriors fans were numb, and the serious mistakes Azubuk made on the defensive end were also let go, which seemed not a big problem.

The fifth three-pointer in the following year, the Warriors fans were numb and desperate.

Granger was still running, Xie Hou started playing behind his back, and passed the ball from behind with a double team.

Like those traditional inside players who are about to disappear, the threat of low-post offense is so threatening that it is hard to let go. Double-teaming is frequent, and as long as double-teaming, his pass will definitely find a shooter.

Granger's fifth three-pointer.

No one noticed Azubuk and lost anyone.

"Swish!"

"Danny Granger, scored 9 three-pointers in a single quarter in the third quarter! He almost knocked out the suspense of the game alone!"

"The third quarter has not ended yet, and he has scored a game-high 35 points. If he continues to play, maybe a single three-pointer record will change hands tonight!"

99 to 78

There are two minutes left in the third quarter, but the score difference reaches 21 points.

Granger's explosion three-point performance knocked out the Warriors' hope.

Nelson's suspension gives the Pacers a chance to substitute.

Claire replaced Granger, and he was not interested in the record. Granger himself had no idea. He scored 35 points in less than 30 minutes of playing time, and all 9 three-pointers were made in the third quarter. This is a brand new NBA single-game record. Although he did not break the record of 12 single-game three-pointers maintained by Kobe and Marshall, his personal record of 9 single-game three-pointers is also the first in history.

The Pacers asked Xie Hou to take the substitute lineup to the court, the Warriors replaced Roy and left Durant alone, allowing him to score points at will.

Fans with some experience will know that the outcome is no longer important now.

The Pacers will surely win, and the only thing left of the Warriors is how many points Durant can get.

Fans hope Durant scores 30 points, and he is still 14 points away from this goal, which is difficult.

In the commentary seat, two arrogant home commentators settled the accounts.

They reviewed Rudy Guy's defense just now in the name of "summary". Without that defense, Granger might not have exploded.

Many outbreaks are coincidental.
