warrior godfather

Chapter 271

The rest of the third quarter was spent in a restless atmosphere. People were still immersed in Curry's difficult three-pointer at the buzzer and cheered for it. The Warriors' lead also allowed fans to see the victory over the Heat hope.

After slipping from the No. 5 position in the Western Conference, the Warriors have been in a state of ups and downs. The abuse is very stable, but it is quite difficult to play against strong teams. If they can win the Heat, it is enough to prove the team's [-]-game streak before the All-Star Victory is not accidental, the Warriors are back again.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the fourth quarter began.

Spoelstra sent a rotation lineup led by Bosh and Wade. When the Warriors opened up the score at the end of the third quarter, he didn't panic at all. After the show, now it's Wade and Bosh's turn to show off.

Zhang Yu also made adjustments. He used a regular rotation in the second quarter, and now he will make targeted arrangements.

The lineup he sent was Jeremy Lin, Tony Allen, Butler, Kirilenko and Big Z. Tony Allen and Kirilenko were respectively allowed to block the Heat's stars, and the offense was handed over to Jeremy Lin and Butler.

"Heat gets the ball, Wade and Joel Anthony pick and roll, but Tony Allen goes around the screen and stays tight! Wade tries to dribble away, but Tony Allen doesn't, and Wade pulls— Miss!"

In Yang Jian's high-pitched voice, the Heat missed the first attack, but were successfully counterattacked by the Warriors, and Kirilenko made an air-cut layup.

Tony Allen's restrictive effect on Wade is reflected. This is the first time he has played in this game. He has plenty of energy and death-coiled Wade, which caught the Flash by surprise.

But Spoelstra made adjustments immediately, and he made a gesture to hand over the ball to Bosh.

This trick quickly achieved results. After Boozer came to the Jazz, Kirilenko came to the position of small forward. He played outside for several years and hadn't played power forward for a long time.

Now Zhang Yu suddenly put him in the paint. He has not regained the feeling of the past, and the skills of single-handed defense in the paint are still a lot rusty. Bosh scored two goals in a row.

After Zhang Yu realized that he made a mistake, he didn't hesitate, and immediately took advantage of the dead ball to replace Yi Jianlian, and fought against the Heat. Against Bosh, he adopted the method of shrinking and assisting defense, testing the response ability of the Heat's role players. .

What makes Spoelstra helpless is that Eddie House, Arroyo and his ilk really couldn't make a shot in this game. Bosh and Wade made several open three-pointers. Only a few times, the Warriors' defensive strategy could not be punished, and the Warriors double-teamed even more unscrupulously.

But it's not their fault, they are all paid a basic salary, and one of the three games is a super-value contract, and it is impossible to perform well in every game.

Moreover, the rotation speed of the Warriors is very fast. They can only get fleeting small open opportunities. If the shot is slow, the Warriors defender will appear in front of them. They can only speed up the shot speed or increase the arc. affected.

Fortunately, Bosh stood up. He turned and shot twice in a row before the Warriors' pincers were in place. He hit a difficult fadeaway shot and supported the Heat's offense.

第四节打到7分45秒的时候，热火将比分追到了86:92，仅仅落后6分。

Zhang Yu could only smile wryly at this. It is too easy for a team with the Big Three to develop offense. It is not easy for the Warriors to be able to defend the Heat like this. First-class level, otherwise the score would have been overtaken long ago.

And this is just the beginning. In the next 1 minute, Wade scored 5 points in a row through breakthroughs and mid-range shots, helping the Heat recover 2 points.

Tony Allen has done his best, but he can't let Wade lose a point. Fortunately, Butler made a successful shot and helped the Warriors maintain a 94-point difference with 90:4, but the situation is still precarious.

Zhang Weiping said:
"It's not good to go on like this. Butler played very well, but he can't stand up to Wade and Bosh alone. Jeremy Lin is still almost unimportant in a game of this intensity. Zhang Yu has to be transferred..."

"Di-"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yu called a timeout.

The Warriors players walked back to the bench, looking more or less frustrated.

Except for Butler in the transition period, everyone else's performance was a bit unsatisfactory, especially Jeremy Lin. He sent 2 turnovers under Wade's key marking and failed to score. He felt that he was ashamed of the coach's trust.

But Zhang Yu didn't blame them for ruining the lead at all, but comforted them a few words.

Everyone's desperate rotation on the defensive end was noticed by Zhang Yu. He didn't expect to beat the Heat in the transition period. The substitute lineup only lost 5 points, which already made him very satisfied.

He praised everyone's defensive rotation, then picked up the tactical board, and said in a deep voice:
"Wait Stephen, Drummond, Clay and Tyson all of you will return to the field. This is the final decisive battle. Persistence is the victory! I don't want to play key balls with the Heat, so I ask you to play in the shortest possible time. Widen the point difference, Stephen, you have unlimited firepower, everyone else pays attention to try to give the ball to Stephen, we play like this..."

On the Heat's bench, Spoelstra is also making the final arrangements.

He shortened the rotation, instead of resting Wade and Bosh who played the first half of the quarter as usual, but let them stay on the court.

He is very clear that if he can smooth out the 4-point difference in one go, the momentum will completely come to the Heat's side, and the possibility of winning this game will be greatly increased. If the regular rotation is used, let James lead the team alone and give the Warriors The opportunity to continue to expand the point difference, even if Wade and Bosh are physically strong at that time, once they vent their breath, the loss will not be far away.

Yang Jian saw the lineup of the Heat and said:
"Wade and Bosh are both down, and they are going to play the fourth quarter."

Zhang Weiping was amazed:
"It's interesting. The Heat are playing this game as a playoff game, but they are only 4 points behind. The opponent is still a western team, not an opponent in the playoffs, but they don't let the Big Three end... Let's see if the Warriors can top it. Stay with the Heat's offensive."

The two could see that Zhang Yu naturally knew what Spoelstra was thinking. He turned his head and glanced at the Heat's bench. Spoelstra was standing there with his arms folded, looking at the field with a serious expression. .

He thought that Spoelstra would still follow the regular rotation, but now that Wade and Bosh have to play the fourth quarter, the Heat are desperate.

Spoelstra sensed Zhang Yu's gaze and glanced this way. Zhang Yu smiled at him, walked to his seat, sat back, glanced at the players on the field, and finally stopped at the library. in the body.

Even if the Heat are desperate, the Warriors' main lineup has rested for half a quarter and has plenty of physical strength. The advantage is still on the Warriors' side, but Zhang Yu also understands that after the Heat get serious, the Warriors' rookies are not mature enough and have no ability to determine the outcome. At the critical moment, he can only look at Curry, and he can only choose to trust Curry.

The audience at the scene also knew that it was time to decide the winner, and they shouted "warrior" neatly to cheer for the players. Amid the spreading sound, the Warriors sent a sideline kick, and the decisive battle began.

……

Curry dribbled the ball across half court, and Wade stepped on the three-point line and stopped in front of him, ready to fight.

Curry didn't intend to hit him single-handedly, he made a gesture, and Green stepped up to cover him. Bosh reminded Wade loudly behind Wade that Wade was on guard, but he let Curry dare not go around the screen and had to squeeze. Cover, but was blocked by Green.

Seeing this, Bosh immediately switched defenses with Wade, not giving Curry a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Wade followed Green to the weak side corner.

Bosh's mobility is strong enough, and he has the ability to switch outside defenses. Spoelstra has already arranged that when he defends Curry, others don't have to flank Curry.

But he obviously underestimated Curry's ability to play big. Facing Bosh's single defense, Curry continued to change directions and dribble. After finding the rhythm, he directly made a three-pointer!

Bosh reacted immediately and tried his best to block Curry's shot, but in order to defend Curry's breakthrough, he had to leave a step of space, and Curry's shot was so fast, it was the distance of this step that made Bosh only look at the basketball Flying over with his fingertips, after drawing a high arc, the bullet entered.

97: 90.

Looking back, after a full rest, James showed his powerful strength, using his signature tank breakthrough to carry Butler all the way to the basket, knocked Chandler away, and made a layup.

This is the 27-year-old James, who has a shooting percentage of 70% at the basket and has a finishing ability at the basket that is stronger than that of top centers.

97: 92.

Round transition, the Warriors attack, Curry and Green pick and roll again, singles Bosh.

This time Bosh learned the lesson just now, and deliberately raised a small half step to cover Curry's shooting space.

But Curry immediately changed his offensive style, using the dribble to mobilize Bosh's center of gravity, then deftly wiped past him, rushed into the penalty area, and made a light pull in the air to avoid Dampier's belated Assist in defense to block shots and score in cricket.

99: 92.

On the sidelines, Spoelstra couldn't help frowning when he saw Curry scoring consecutively, but he hesitated for a while, and chose to trust Bosh's ability to defend against small ones, and did not adjust the defense of the Heat.

On the field, the Heat sent a baseline ball. This time, the Warriors strengthened the blocking of James' breakthrough. He distributed the ball to Wade. Wade took a step and made a long two-pointer.

99: 94.

Looking back, Curry asked Green for the third pick-and-roll, switching Bosh in front of him.

Bosh looked at Curry with a very serious expression.

In the previous three quarters, Curry did not take the initiative to find his misplacement, but in the short two rounds just now, he has already felt the difficulty of defending Curry.

Curry's three-pointer and the threat of a breakthrough are too great. He doesn't know what choice Curry will make in the next moment. When defending, he can only be comprehensive, but in the face of Curry's unpredictable offensive methods, his defense seems so weak. Clumsy and useless.

This time, too, Bosh paid full attention to Curry's movements, but was still fooled by his fake moves. Curry pretended to break through, then suddenly received the ball, swayed out of the shooting space, and hit a three-pointer with a step back.

102: 94.

"Di-"

After Curry made the three-pointer, Spoelstra couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.

He believes in Bosh's ability to defend small, but he no longer trusts Bosh's ability to defend Curry.

After returning to the bench, Bosh kept shaking his head.To Spoelstra said:

"I can't guard him, Eric, I can't keep up with his movements, I can't guard his breakthrough and three-pointers at the same time!"

Spoelstra nodded and said:
"I see, Chris, we will be so defensive against Curry later..."

After the timeout, the Heat sent a sideline ball in the frontcourt. Bosh singled out Green, using his height advantage, and scored two long-distance points.

102: 96.

Yang Jian said:

"The Heat's offensive points are too scattered, the Big Three take turns, and the Warriors can't prevent their singles."

Looking back, Curry played the pick-and-roll with Green for the fourth time, still looking for Bosh's misplacement.

This time, Bosh did not choose to switch defenses, but wanted to go forward and delay, and then switch back with Wade.

But when he blocked Curry's shot, turned around to look for Green, and switched positions with Wade, Curry picked up the basketball and slammed it on the ground. The basketball passed between the two and bounced to Green who was running down. In his hand, Green took advantage of the situation and rushed to the basket, jumped high, and dunked the basketball with both hands.

104: 96.

After landing, Green pointed to Curry, and Curry circled his hands in front of his eyes, like a telescope, and laughed.

In addition to shooting and breaking through, Curry also passes the ball. The combination of shooting, sudden and passing has created Curry who is unparalleled in the world!
The round changed, the Heat attacked, and James took control of the ball for halftime. He looked up at the timer. At this time, there were only 2 minutes left in the game, and the Heat were still behind by 8 points. There was not much time left. He had to hurry up up.

After James came to the frontcourt, without delay, he went straight to the inside. Butler interfered with all his strength, but James turned on full power mode, directly pushed Butler away, and rushed into the three-point line.

Green came to help in time, James dribbled two steps forward and passed the ball to Bosh. Bosh wanted to shoot after receiving the ball, but Chandler rushed towards him, and he took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball to Dampier under the basket. , the latter took off and dunked after receiving the ball.

Snapped!
At this moment, a big hand slapped it heavily and slapped the basketball onto the backboard!

Green made an accurate judgment, returned to the basket in time, and gave Dampier a big cap!
The basketball bounced very far, and happened to bounce in front of Curry. Curry reacted quickly, picked up the basketball immediately, and ran towards the frontcourt!

Wade followed him, chasing back with all his strength, and followed Curry from the backcourt to the frontcourt. When approaching the three-point line, Curry suddenly slowed down, adjusted his rhythm, and stopped outside the three-point line. Raising his hand to shoot, Wade jumped up subconsciously, trying to block Curry's shot.

But Curry immediately took the ball back, and after Wade flew by, Shi Shi ran a three-pointer.

brush!
The basketball draws a beautiful arc and enters the net hollow!
107: 96.

Yang Jian said loudly:
"Curry made a three-pointer! In the last 1 minute and 34 seconds, the Warriors led by 11 points, and Curry killed the game!"
