Chapter 863 Incarnation Becomes the Core of the Organization
Xie Kai closed the board and dribbled over. The Warriors arranged for Curry to stare at Robertson of the Thunder.
Cole's intentions are obvious, don't you want to name Curry in the pick-and-roll?You put Robertson in the way, I can let him go.And I don't have to give up completely, a delay, give him a certain chance to make a shot, and I can also withstand his projection threat.
This is the playoffs. Any flaws will be targeted by the opponent and infinitely magnified.If Curry's defense is relatively weak, then likewise, Robertson's unstable 3-point shooting is also weak.
Xie Kai didn't want to name Curry, but called Gibson, who is currently playing center, to come out for a pick-and-roll.
The Warriors did not choose to switch defenses. In their view, it was not a good choice to put the relatively slow David West in front of Xie Kai.They chose to delay, and Iguodala immediately squeezed through the cover to chase Xie Kai.
But what the Warriors didn't expect was that Xie Kai immediately lowered his center of gravity at the moment the pick-and-roll happened, changed direction and accelerated to overtake David West, passed through the middle, and went straight to the basket.
The two wings of the Warriors had to withdraw to the basket to make up for the impact of Xie Kai.
Xie Kai was near the paint area and gave the ball accurately to Grant in the bottom corner of the right wing!
opportunity!
Grant didn't hesitate, and shot a 3-pointer-yes!
28:23, the Thunder lead by 5 points!
The cheers in the stands were louder and louder. This is Xie Kai's fifth personal assist in this section!Before the start of this game, who would have thought that he would suddenly become the core of the team's organization, sending out 5 assists in a single quarter when the opponent resorted to unlimited defense changes from time to time!
Wang Zixing sighed: "The ball was passed very well. Grant was very comfortable when receiving the ball and had a good rhythm."
Su Qun said: "The timing of this pass is very good. The opponent pinches up and splits out. It is an absolute open space. We often have a wrong understanding of the open space. In fact, some balls look open, but they are considered half open. As long as you shoot a little slower, or if you have some hesitation, the opponent's rotation can interfere with you. Xie Kai's ball means that the opponent cannot interfere with Grant who is in the bottom corner, and Grant who catches the ball is very comfortable. How to adjust, even if he is not a marksman like Korver Curry, the certainty of this ball is extremely high."
For the Warriors, facing the Thunder's unlimited defense changes, their passing and cutting tactics are difficult to play.In the Western Conference finals last season, coach Donovan also defended them in the same way, leading by a big score of 3:1.But in G6, he encountered the Buddha descending to earth, and his success fell short.At that time, everyone has already seen that the Warriors with 73 victories are not invincible, and their offensive hard attack ability is actually not that invincible.
But they brought in Durant!
Facing Grant's defense, Durant forced a mid-range pull-up, and hit 24 points in the last 1.1 seconds of the 2-second offensive countdown!
28:25, the point difference narrowed to 3 points!
Cole breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines. The purpose of their introduction of Durant is to have an unsolvable singles point when the team's tactics are killed. Durant's height is 211 cm, and his wingspan exceeds 220cm. Having the jump shot ability that ignores defense is capable of hard solving.
——This point is an ability neither Ku Hao nor Buddha possesses.It's true that splash is the core of tactics, but the one who broke the game was Durant who joined last offseason.
If Curry is there, the Thunder would not dare to attack Durant rashly, which is also the support for the Warriors' death tactics.In a one-on-one situation, even if he has suffered a serious injury, he is still the top three super killer in the league.
The two teams did not score at the end of the first quarter, and the defensive intensity of both sides was very strong, basically using the switching and rotation to the extreme.
At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder at home led by 28 points at 25:3!
Break between festivals.
Wang Zixing asked: "Mr. Su, both the Thunder and the Warriors are top 5 defensively in the league, but their scoring in a single quarter doesn't look low!"
Su Qun replied: "Both sides played a large lineup at the beginning, but later the lineup became smaller and smaller. Have you noticed that their offensive rhythm is very fast. When the offensive rhythm is fast, the number of rounds will increase, even if the offensive efficiency is low. It’s not high, but the score is not low.”
Wang Zixing nodded and said, "They have superstars on both sides, and they both have the ability to score regardless of defense."
Su Qun agreed: "This game depends on who can break the deadlock. If the situation continues like this, there is really a chance who will win."
Section 2 started soon.
The Warriors took the lead in attacking.At this time, the five players on their field are Green, Livingston, Iguodala, Buddha and David West.They almost don't use McGee, which is equivalent to reducing the rotation.
The same is true for the Thunder. Without Kanter, who was targeted to death in the last game, the lineup is the same as at the end of the first quarter.
There are one big and four small on both sides, the power forward plays the center forward, and the overall height and shape are very similar.
The Warriors went first, and Livingston dribbled the ball and organized the offense at the top of the key.
There are small lineups on both sides, but the overall offensive space is not high-quality.Whether it is Robertson, Iguodala, Livingston, Green or Grant, they are all points where you can try to short.
The Warriors have historical shooters like Buddha, but again, there are more points where they can be emptied by their opponents.
The Warriors played a pass and cut, Iguodala cut to the basket, caught the ball and made a layup!
28:27, the point difference was reduced to 1 point!
Xie Kai dribbled over, faced Iguodala, and gave the ball to Gibson at the corner.
Gipson handed Pickle Pepper, who faced Green's defense, turned around and made a jumper!
David West closed the board and the Warriors counterattacked.
The Thunder's return to defense is very fast, and they don't give the opponent a chance to play more or less in the frontcourt.
The Warriors are very experienced and slow down to hit the success rate.
Wang Zixing said: "The Warriors let Green defend Paojiao at this time, and Paojiao feels very difficult to attack!"
Su Qun said: "George's speed slowed down after his serious injury. He was not a speed forward. When he couldn't get rid of Green, his offensive efficiency with the ball dropped. The Thunder's lineup , It still depends on Xie Kai, don’t look at him being a top defender like Iguodala, but if he really wants to attack, it’s hard to defend against anyone.”
Thanks to the pickled peppers that came out of the pocket, he moved without the ball.
Pickle faced Green, Qiangtu was forced to a dead ball, and then divided Grant.
Grant handed it to Xie Kai, who hit the ground and gave it to Grant!
Grant caught the ball and hit the basket, but was blocked by Green who was helping to defend!
The Warriors counterattacked, and Green scored Livingston to make a quick move-he was cut off by Xie!
Xie Kai didn't stop the ball, and threw the ball with one hand to Gibson, who hadn't returned to defense, and the latter caught the ball and dunked it!
