Chapter 823 The Second Lineup PK
Livingston dribbled the ball, faced Xie Kai's defense, and gave the ball to Iguodala.
Iguodala held the ball, and after a pick-and-roll with David West, he scored a free throw line for David West.
David West was in the Hornets and later in the Pacers. They were both excellent mid-range power forwards.The Thunder sent the quick-footed Grant to him, denying him a jumper.
David West didn't play hard either. After coming to the Warriors, his playing became more and more Buddhist, and he gave the ball to Clark.
Clark made a jumper with the ball and hit it!
At 22:19, the Warriors led by 3 points!
Xie Kai dribbled over, and Iguodala was defending him.
Iguodala and Clay are both excellent wing defenders in the league, but their defensive styles are completely different.Klay pays attention to not losing his position, does not make easy moves, and uses the lower plate to top, which is very solid.The first brother has a good cutting hand, longer arms, greater defensive coverage, and better physical confrontation.
I think back then when he was in the 76ers and Nuggets, he was a flying player, but now he dunks a lot less. In order to prolong his career, he rarely sees dunks like that, only in the fast break Only then can fans see his demeanor back then.
Xie Kai and Iguodala are old rivals. When he was still in the Grizzlies, when he faced the Nuggets and the Warriors behind him, the opponents sent a brother to defend him.
The first brother can be regarded as the top wing defensive presence in the league, whether it is physical condition or experience, he is top-notch. He is a bit old now, but he has maintained it quite well and has not experienced serious injuries. At least on the defensive end, I have not seen him. There are obvious regressions.
Xie Kai faced Brother Yi's defense, and Grant came to cover him.
The first brother quickly bypassed the screen, but Xie Kai's reaction was faster. He changed direction ahead of time, forcing David West to switch defenses.
Facing David West, Xie Kai crossed the ball in front of his crotch continuously, combined with in-out, to lure David West into being fooled.
David West is also an old man, so he won't rush out easily.
Xie Kai has the mentality of "If you don't rush out, I will pass you too", a Crossover will kill you inside!
David West immediately stepped back, but his movement was still too slow after all...
Xie Kai got rid of David West, Clark came to help defend, and the Brazilian actor Varejao was ready to act!
Xie slammed on the brakes, and the moment he met Varejao, he passed the ball to Abrines in the right corner!
"Opportunity!" Yu Jia shouted.
Abrines made a wide-open 3-point shot-hit!
The two sides draw!
The rhythm of the ball is very good, and the strength of Xie Kai's ball is well controlled, which makes Abrines very comfortable when receiving the ball.
Livingston dribbled the ball and gave it to Iguodala.
Iguodala points to Varejao at the basket.
Varejao divided Livingston again, Livingston used the pick and roll, and the Thunder switched defenses.
Livingston gave the ball to the misplaced David West, but it was cut off by Xie Kai who was half-circling forward!
Xie Kai counterattacked with the ball, killing the frontcourt one-stop, and Iguodala chased and defended for a foul!
Xie Kai walked to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily. The Thunder led by 24 points at 22:2!
Neither team scored any points and the first quarter ended.
In the first quarter of the game, Xie Kai performed well, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, very comprehensive.
Break between festivals.
Yu Jia sighed: "I didn't expect these two offensive teams, neither of them scored more than 25 points in the first quarter!"
Yang Yi said: "Everyone didn't feel good in this game, which also shows that everyone's defense is good, and it is difficult to score easily with simple cooperation. The Warriors' signature pass and cut are not going well, and Durant needs to rely on it. And Curry's singles to solve the problem. The Thunder's half-court offense is not good, and the offense also relies more on Xie Kai's singles and Westbrook's conversion."
Section 2 started soon.
The Warriors took the lead and Livingston dribbled over.
Varejao came up to cover. Since he was traded by the Cavaliers, he joined the Cavaliers' old rival Warriors in a rage, which chilled the Cavaliers.He had been in the Cavaliers before, and he really didn't want to leave, but because of a ruptured Achilles tendon, his condition was not as good as before, and the contract was huge, so the team had no choice but to trade him.
In fact, Varejao's ability to get such a big contract in the Cavaliers also has something to do with James.In order to please James, the team gave him this "James good friend" big contract.
In the finals of last season, Varejao and the generals of the Cavaliers officially broke up. Now his state has declined seriously, and his dexterous positioning is gone. Except for his acting skills, everything else is very ordinary.
No, Kanter jumped out to delay, and had a little physical contact with the actor Varejao, who fell to the ground exaggeratedly, with an explosive curly hair like flying cotton candy, which was very funny.
The referee gave Kanter a defensive foul.
Kanter was almost speechless, looked at the referee with an innocent expression, and asked, "I didn't move!"
The referee was also speechless, because Varejao's acting skills were so good, it was hard for him not to call a foul at that moment.But if he calls a foul, he can't change it anymore, otherwise, what's the majesty of the referee?
Yu Jia said with a smile: "Varejao's acting skills are really good, so that offensive players dare not touch him. He may have fallen down before you exert your strength."
Yang Yi said: "South American players actually have such skills. Manu Ginobili is also very good at making offensive fouls, and Scola is also an expert in this field!"
The ball is switched and the Warriors attack.
Livingston turned back and missed the jumper!
Kanter accepted the rebound and handed it to Xie Kai to advance.
Xie Kai pushed forward and gave it to Kanter in the low position!
Kanter held the ball with his back, and Varejao fell to the ground again...
But the referee's whistle didn't sound!
Kanter turned around and did a one-arm dunk, and sprayed a few words at Varejao who was lying underneath, venting a bit.
Varejao stood up and asked the referee for an explanation, but he waved his hand helplessly.
26:22, the Thunder lead by 4 points!
For the Warriors, Iguodala's bottom corner was emptied, and he hit the iron with 3 points!
Grant rebounds!
Xie Kai dribbled over, faced Iguodala, and signaled his teammates to pull away!
K Mi in the stands yelled excitedly, the idol is going to play singles, and he finally no longer needs to cover, it's really cool!
Xie Kai made a very simple step-by-step breakthrough, leaning on Iguodala, and suddenly pulled the ball to the left hand after lowering the center of gravity during the march, then bowed, pulled the ball to the right hand from the crotch, and took a step back to avoid the space , a jumper shot...
Even the first brother, in the face of Xie Kai's so many moves, can't block all of them in place!
Xie Kai's jumper hit!
Wow - so handsome!
At 28:22, the score was down to 6 points, and Cole quickly asked for a timeout!
K honey in the Oracle Center Arena cheered excitedly. Because of the large number, it made people think that this was the home court of the Grizzlies.
