warrior godfather

The Warriors scored two consecutive counterattacks, which greatly boosted the atmosphere of the scene. The Warriors fans in the auditorium swept away the gloomy atmosphere in the second quarter and cheered vigorously.

This is the game they want to see, this is the third quarter they want to see!

On the field, the Heat are attacking, and a point difference of 7 points is a relatively dangerous number. If they don't score again, the Warriors will have a chance to recover the point difference to within 5 points, and the momentum will completely overwhelm the Heat.

James also understood that he must stand up, he did not pass the ball to Bosh, but beckoned towards Chalmers.

"Chalmers is covering for James, and James is going to name Curry!" Yu Jia said.

At this critical juncture, James finally came up with a roll call tactic.

In the first half, he didn't need to be called, and he was able to score efficiently. He has been playing conventional tactics. Now that the Heat urgently need to stop the bleeding, he used the offensive method with the most guaranteed success rate.

Facing the pick-and-roll from James and Chalmers, the Warriors didn't switch defenses like they did in the first half. Curry came up to delay James and then returned.

"Curry's return after a big delay... James rushed in! Curry didn't dare to switch back, Chalmers took Leonard away, James carried Curry to the inside, avoiding Green's help defense, A good layup!" Yang Yi said.

After James scored a goal, the warm atmosphere in the Oracle Center stagnated. Curry rubbed his aching chest and squinted at James.

Just now James' breakthrough was like a tank, pushing Curry directly into the Warriors inside. Curry tried his best to block it, but it didn't have much effect.

Today, James' offense was extremely resolute. In the past, even if Curry switched defenses in front of him, the Warriors would have someone to help defend them inside. James rarely chose to attack personally, but distributed the ball to open teammates.

This is the technical characteristic of James. Although he has the best physical fitness in the league, he plays the most reasonable basketball, and his offensive ability is far less than his impression.

James' coordination, shooting, and small skills are not good enough. Unlike top strikers such as Anthony and Durant, who can create space anytime and anywhere and force shots, his offensive mode is very simple, which is to kill the basket or distribute the ball. There are very few pull-up jumpers.

Today, James rarely takes mid-range shots, but his desire to attack the Warriors' penalty area has been greatly enhanced, and he can always avoid the help defense of the Warriors' inside players, forcefully score in the penalty area, and violently crack the Warriors' frame.

James' unscrupulous scoring also angered Curry. This is the Oracle Center and Curry's territory. He will never allow others to act wild here!

The Warriors attacked, Curry held the ball and Green picked and rolled, the Heat flanked him, Curry gave the ball to Green, and immediately reached out for the ball.

After Green opened it, he was going to go down, but after seeing Curry's gesture, he stopped and passed the ball back.

After Curry received the ball, he didn't call the pick-and-roll, but directly singled Chalmers.

He made a gesture to go to the left to break through, mobilize Chalmers' center of gravity, then dribbled the ball behind his back, handed the ball to his right hand, and directly made a three-pointer.

brush!
Chalmers' interference was a step slower, the basketball almost flew past his fingertips, and fell straight into the net, 61:67. …

After the goal, Curry raised his hands, celebrating the three-pointer, and looked at James provocatively.

You can score, can't I?I have one more point than you!
"Good shot!" Yu Jia praised, "Curry is really dancing on the tip of the knife. He dribbled the ball behind his back and pulled it out directly. His luck is really good. Chalmers slowed down a little, otherwise he would interfere Going to Curry's shot."

Yang Yi has a different opinion:
"I think that's what makes Curry so good. His shot is so fast. Whether he's guarding him, forward or center, he always looks close to blocking Curry's shot, but almost A little bit of it can be a thousand miles away."

Looking back, the Heat attacked, Spoelstra made a gesture, James handed the ball to Chalmers, and he went to the weak side to open up space.

Spoelstra still wants to try to attack the Warriors' inside line. It is a big loss to not take advantage of the weaknesses of the five small lineups.

This time it was Chalmers and Bosh's pick-and-roll, but he wanted to see if the Warriors would switch defenses.

The Warriors did not let him down. Facing the pick-and-roll from Chalmers and Bosh, Curry did not switch defenses. Green came up and delayed Chalmers for a while, then turned back to look for Bosh.

But this was a false screen opened early, Bosh just made a show, and immediately went down, Green focused on how to protect Curry, and was half a body behind Bosh.

Chalmers immediately lobbed the ball to Bosh. Although he usually plays the role of corner shooter, as the Heat's nominal point guard, he still has basic passing ability.

After receiving the ball, Bosh dribbled a step and directly started to attack the frame. Butler jumped from the weak side to help defend, but it was too late, and he could only watch Bosh dunk with both hands, 69:61.

After Bosh dunked, just landed, and before he had time to celebrate, Green picked up the basketball, stepped out of bounds, and threw both hands to Curry who was running towards the frontcourt.

"The Warriors serve the bottom line quickly and force a fast break!" Yu Jia said.

On the field, Curry grabbed the ball with one hand, pushed it forward, and ran towards the frontcourt. The Heat did not expect the Warriors to counterattack so quickly. Only Chalmers and James retreated to the backcourt.

However, the Warriors only had two players, Curry and Leonard, and they hadn't shaken off their opponents. The Heat's defensive disadvantage was not too great.

But then Curry showed his strong hand-eye coordination and quick decision-making ability. In high-speed movement, he used a wonderful behind-the-back dribble, passed Chalmers in one step, and rushed into the three-point line Inside, straight into the basket.

James was forced to defend one and two. He might have watched Curry go up to the basket and take two quick steps to help defend.

Curry passed the ball to Leonard on the other side with a gesture of his left hand. James stopped in a hurry and turned to look at Leonard. 63:69.

It was just an unremarkable layup, but it directly detonated the Oracle Center. The fans shouted Curry's name loudly, as if they wanted to vent all the depression in the first half.

After Curry scored a goal, he glanced at James and ran back to the backcourt without saying anything, but the provocation in his eyes became stronger and stronger. …

As humble as he is off the court, he is as flamboyant as he is on the court.

"Hey! Curry sent a fake fax and tricked James. He already scored 8 points in the second half. The Warriors' five small lineups are chasing points very fast!" Zhang Weiping said.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu clapped vigorously and nodded repeatedly, his face full of admiration.

This is the tactic he deployed in the midfield, go to the fifth team, push and counterattack, seize every opportunity, and increase the speed!
On the court, James seemed to have seen the Warriors' tactics. He signaled Chalmers to quickly serve the baseline ball, and then quickly advanced to the frontcourt. When it came to Butler's flanking attack, Ray Allen gave the ball to Ray Allen, who caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

The rebound was protected by Green, and the Warriors immediately counterattacked. Green advanced with the ball and passed the ball to Clay.

Wade grabs the rebound, James sprints ahead of the court, Wade throws the ball over, James catches the ball and runs off.

But Clay and Green were already waiting for him under the basket. James barely made a layup with two people, was blocked by Green, and the Warriors pushed back again.

James staggered two steps and didn't return to the defense in time. The Warriors had a brief four-on-five opportunity in the frontcourt. After three passes and two leads, Leonard made an air cut layup, 65:69.

"Di-"

The moment Leonard hit a layup, the referee's whistle sounded and Spoelstra called a timeout.

"Yeah!!!"

Seeing that the Heat were stopped, there was a burst of shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami in the auditorium.

The Warriors players were also full of excitement, and they gave Leonard a high-five to celebrate, and the morale of the whole team was greatly boosted.

"The two sides suddenly accelerated the pace of the game, and both played fast-break counterattacks, but the efficiency was not high, but the Warriors were still better, chasing another 2 points, and the point difference was only 4 points. The Heat had to make adjustments." Yu Jia said.

Yang Yi sighed:
"This is Yong San Crazy! The Warriors came up in the third quarter and beat the Heat 12:4 with five small lineups. After Zhang Yu made a substitution, the effect was immediate. This is a top coach!"

At this time, he seemed to have forgotten that during the halftime break, he had predicted that the Warriors would flank James and let the role players fight.

However, Zhang Yu used a trick that no one had expected. He took the initiative to withdraw the big center, and fought with the Heat's small lineup for a fast break, and gained the upper hand.

The Heat's fast break has only one trick, and that is to hit the penalty area.

James' impact is indeed very strong, but the five players of the Warriors are extremely fast. Except for Curry, the five players are all about two meters tall, and their defense speed is extremely fast. Facing the defense of two people, James is also very difficult. Attack the frame to score.

At the same time, the five players of the Warriors are extremely accurate. All five of them can shoot three-pointers. Curry and Clay are both super shooters. Leonard and Butler are not weak in impact. The three-dimensional effect is extremely strong, and it is difficult for the Heat to defend.

Moreover, everyone in the Warriors' five small lineups can handle the ball, and the counterattack is fast and orderly, while the Heat only have the Big Three who can handle the ball, and they only need to keep an eye on James and Wade.

James wanted to fight the Warriors for a fast break, but it was in Zhang Yu's arms. …

Spoelstra was clear from the sidelines, and after two chaotic rounds, he called a timeout in time to make adjustments.

After the timeout ended, the two teams returned to the court. The Warriors' boosted morale was a little bit worn down by this long timeout, and the Heat's players calmed down again.

What makes Zhang Yu a little regretful is that the Heat no longer blindly push and counterattack, but slow down the pace of the game and try to attack as far as possible.

In fact, with James' fiery state today, the Heat don't need to be obsessed with counterattacks, but James is eager to stabilize his advantage and falls into the rhythm of the Warriors.

Now after Spoelstra's reminder, James is no longer impatient. After returning, he hit Leonard with his back and hit a fadeaway jumper

Yang Yi said in surprise:
"How many fadeaways did James score today? How did he make shots!"

It was also after this round that the Heat stabilized the situation. Although they failed to expand the point difference, they never allowed the Warriors to equalize the score.

Relying on the full space and mobility advantages of the five small lineups, the Warriors forced a counterattack, and positional battles are also difficult to defend, and they can always hit three-pointers on the weak side.

However, Wuxiao has lowered his height, and his ability to protect the frame has weakened, and his inside defense relies heavily on contraction.

And if James has God's help today, the threat of a back attack is great, and the Warriors have to flank him, and James' vision is too wide, and he can always distribute the ball to open teammates in time.

The defensive rotation speed of the Warriors' five small lineups is already very fast, but there are always situations where the replacement is not timely, and some open shots are made by the Heat.

James' personal offense is even more unrestricted. He uses his body to forcefully break through to the inside, and often finishes with people. The Warriors have no problems with their defense, but there is nothing they can do about him.

However, the Warriors' offense is mainly based on three-pointers, and most of the Heat's shots are two-pointers. In terms of offensive efficiency, the Warriors are still better than the Heat.

It's just that under the strict defense of the Heat, Curry failed to play the explosive momentum at the beginning of the third quarter.

Even when defending against fast breaks and counterattacks, the Heat prioritized defending Curry's three-pointers, and Curry was forced to act as a bait to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Zhang Weiping looked at Curry standing on the three-point line, often surrounded by two people, and sighed:
"Ku You is really well-deserved of his reputation. I have never seen a three-point line surrounded by two people. The Heat really would rather someone else shoot open than see Curry shoot a three-pointer again."

The Heat attach great importance to Curry, allowing others to get a lot of scoring opportunities, especially Clay. His off-ball movement has more room to play. Scored two three-pointers and two mid-range shots.

At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 85:82, and the Heat only led by 3 points.

James still played very well in this quarter, scoring 16 points in a single quarter and a total of 45 points in three quarters.

His scoring is the biggest reason why the Heat can maintain the lead. The defensive strategy of the Warriors' five minors is that everyone except Curry switches defenses infinitely.

In addition to James, only Wade can score stably, and Wade's state is average, affected by a knee injury, the Heat have only James to play the leading role.

As an All-Star insider, Bosh's personal offensive effect is not good. After these three seasons, he has been gradually transformed into a space-type insider. The face-frame singles are also gradually declining.

This certainly gave James a wider offensive space, but the Heat must also accept the decline in Bosh's personal offensive threat. Facing the Warriors' five small lineups, the Heat can only let James use back attacks to punish.

During the break between festivals, Zhang Weiping said with a smile:
"Fortunately, James is in a good state today, otherwise the Heat would have to worry about how to beat the Warriors' five players, and Bosh can't count on it, but it's strange enough to say, how come the Heat have played for three years, and Bosh's singles can't do it gone?"
