Chapter 518 How dare he?

"... Dear viewers, welcome to watch the fifth matchup between the Warriors and the Heat in the finals. This is also a battle of Tianwangshan. Whoever wins will get the match point of the finals. This game will be played by Zhang Weiping and I Director Zhang and Yang Yi will explain to everyone..."

Back in time 10 minutes ago, in the CCTV5 studio between the Warriors and the Heat, Yu Jia spoke a skillful opening remark.

"What do you two think of today's Tianwangshan battle?" He looked at the two guests and asked.

Yang Yi said solemnly:
"The Warriors have lost two games in a row, and today is the Heat's home court. The Warriors may not be easy to handle... Curry was severely restricted by the flanking attack. Others, they can indeed score, but they are indeed almost troublesome. The Heat's performance against the Warriors It’s getting more and more familiar, and the Warriors can get fewer and fewer open opportunities. Today is a very severe test for Clay, Butler, and Green.”

"The other one, I think Zhang Yu will be in the Fifth Elementary School, oh, it's called the Death Fifth Elementary School now, right? I think domestic fans have given the Warriors' Fifth Elementary lineup such a name...The Warriors have not used it very much these few games The death of the top five, G2 is because there is no need for it, the Warriors did not make it to the top five, and the Heat did not stand up; G3 will not mention it, Curry has been sitting on the court, there is no Curry, and there is no top five; Playing the Warriors is useless. In my opinion, it is because the point difference has not been big. Zhang Yu still wants to keep a center on the court to defend against the breakthroughs of James and Wade... But in this game, Zhang Yu should be able to use it. This is Tianwang Mountain is the Heat's home stadium, if you don't fight for your life, the Heat will win the match point!"

Zhang Weiping also analyzed from the perspective of a warrior:
"Yang Yi is right, but the Warriors are not without advantages. The Heat won the last game because of the outstanding performance of the Big Three, but it's hard to say what the status of the Big Three is today. Wade's knee The regular season is fine, but the playoffs are no good. Bosh wants to be like the last game. The ball is difficult and not easy... Of course, the home court advantage is still on the Heat's side, and the referee's scale is very important. "

Yang Yi echoed:
"That's right, the Heat's home court advantage played a key role in the last game. The referee was not as biased as in G3, but the blow was stricter, which was more beneficial to the Heat. James and Wade's free throws were not too few. The Warriors His offense tends to go to the open man, finds the best chance, suffers from free throws..."

The three talked for a while, the main content was to analyze the pros and cons of the Warriors' game from the perspective of the Warriors.

This is what the vast majority of Huaxia fans want to hear the most. What they care about is the Warriors, Zhang Yu, Yi Jianlian, not the Heat, not James, not Wade.

The three of them also took time to analyze Yi Jianlian's performance in the previous games and predict his statistics in the Tianwangshan battle. Of course, this is mainly YY...

Soon, the two sides entered the arena, and the broadcast camera also switched to the game screen. Yu Jia watched the starting of the Warriors and the Heat, and introduced:

"The Warriors are still regular starters, Curry, Clay, Butler, Green, Chandler; the Heat's starters have changed, Chalmers, Wade, Mike Miller, James, Bosh, Spoelster Started off with a small lineup!"

Yang Yi's eyes flashed:
"Heat is the first to win! It's a showdown when it comes up, and it doesn't deal with the Warriors. Spoelstra directly puts Haslem on the bench. It's an interesting game against the Warriors. Now, I just don’t know if the Warriors’ Death Five will play or not?”

Yu Jia said:

"Chandler and Bosh come to the halfway line, ready to jump the ball... Chandler is the first to dial the ball to the Warriors backcourt, the game begins!"

……

On the court, Clay picked up the basketball that flew over and handed it to Curry. Amidst the deafening shouts of "defense" from the audience, Curry dribbled the ball for halftime, and the Warriors launched their first offense of the game.

The enthusiasm of the Heat fans was very high. After the opening, they spared no effort to put pressure on the Warriors players.

Chalmers greeted Curry, and Bosh consciously took two steps outside, ready to expand at any time.

The Heat played four games with the Warriors, and Curry's pick-and-roll also played four games. The Heat players have figured out the Warriors' offensive routines.

Curry did run a pick-and-roll with Chandler, and he waved to Chandler, who immediately came to the top of the key and set a screen for Curry.

But what made Bosh dumbfounded was that the place where Chandler covered Curry was a full two meters away from the three-point line, almost stepping on the Heat's logo!
Bosh, who originally wanted to go up and flank Curry, couldn't help hesitating. Curry is picking and rolling at such a high position, should he go up and flank?
If he flanks Curry, he and Chalmers will be forced to separate from the Heat's defensive system.

The Heat's inside line will become as wide as the sea, and other Warriors players will get several open offensive spaces, which are very good at handling four-on-three.

And... is it really useful to pick and roll at such a high position?

Bosh made a choice in his mind. He stayed inside the three-point line and did not directly flank Curry like in previous games, but he still defended.

This position is already the farthest he can expand without breaking away from the Heat's defensive system.

Extend one step further, and when Chandler goes down, it will be difficult for him to catch up in time.

And according to Bosh's judgment, even if Curry picks and rolls at such a high position, he will definitely continue to go in the follow-up, expanding so far is enough for him to respond.

After Bosh stood in the defensive position, Curry and Chandler finished their pick-and-roll. Chandler was tall and generous, with a high-quality screen, and Chalmers was firmly blocked behind him.

With the help of Chandler's cover, Curry threw off Chalmers, and in front of him was Bosh, who was more than one meter away from him and standing inside the three-point line.

Facing Bosh with his arms outstretched, Curry paused slightly. Just when Bosh thought he was about to dribble and break through, he directly raised his hand and threw a three-pointer!

It was an ultra-long three-pointer that was more than one meter away from the three-point line. Bosh didn't even react, he couldn't make an interference action, and he almost watched Curry complete the shot.

After Curry made a three-pointer, he finally reacted and turned his head to the basket hastily.

brush!
After the basketball crossed a long trajectory, it fell straight into the net, 3:0.

"Yes!"

Seeing the three-pointer hit, Curry clenched his fist hard, turned his head and ran back to the backcourt.

And Bosh stared blankly at Curry's back, froze in place, and the Heat fans who shouted "defense" in the auditorium also fell silent.

No one expected that Curry's first attack in the opening game would be a super long three-pointer!
This is the finals, not the preseason!
Yu Jia also said in disbelief:
"Curry's ultra-long three-pointer...he pulled it directly, and Bosh didn't even react!"

Zhang Weiping shook his head again and again:
"This... What kind of tactic is this? The first attack in the opening game, and the ultra-long three-pointer came up. There is still no tactic... Well, it's not that there is no tactic. A pick-and-roll, and it is pulled. This... is unreasonable!"

Yang Yi was puzzled:

"This is a critical moment in the fourth quarter, a desperate move to chase points! The Warriors used it in the first quarter? I don't know if this is Curry's impromptu rise, or Zhang Yu's intentional tactic. If this is Zhang Yu's arrangement, then I really don't understand his thinking, there is no continuity in playing like this! You can't expect Curry to score a super long three-pointer on every ball, can you?"

On the sidelines, Spoelstra also lost his mind slightly because of Curry's ultra-long three-pointer, but he quickly reacted and turned his head to look at Zhang Yu on the other side of the technical table.

I saw Zhang Yu applauding Curry with a smile on his face, but there was neither unexpected surprise nor ecstasy of relief, but a calmness in which everything was under control.

Could it be...he let Curry play like this?And it seems that he is very sure that Curry will make a super long three-pointer?

Spoelstra was puzzled, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

Just kidding, how could someone arrange such a tactic?
What kind of amateur head coach must be to let a guard pull up a pick-and-roll and shoot a super long three-pointer?
And the famous Coach Z is definitely not this kind of amateur head coach!
On the court, after a brief shock, the Heat players also came back to their senses, sent the baseline ball, and launched an attack.

When Bosh passed the technical stage, Spoelstra shouted to him:
"Chris, just be so defensive, don't be tricked out by him!"

That's right, in Spoelstra's view, what Curry did was to lure Bosh to defend completely, and then create a four-on-three opportunity for the rest of the Warriors, and it was an easier four-on-four than before. Three, Bosh and Chalmers will not be able to participate in the Heat's follow-up rotation defense.

This is the purpose of the Warriors, and the Heat must not be fooled.

Bosh nodded emphatically. In fact, he was still a little ashamed that Curry made a super long three-pointer in front of him, but since Spoelstra said so, Bosh felt at ease.

It's not that I don't defend, it's that the coach doesn't let me defend, it's cheap for you, baby face.

At this point, James has come to the top of the arc, Bosh quickly ran two steps, up to cover for James.

The quality of his screen was also good, blocking Butler, James got an open, and drove the ball into the Warriors inside.

Chandler backed up to guard James, and kept standing in front of James, preventing him from rushing forward completely. At the same time, Green was watching from the sidelines, ready to go.

But this gave James room to shoot. He stopped and made a mid-range jump shot. Chandler, who was still retreating, had no time to interfere, so he could only watch James complete the shot.

But James is not Kobe. This kind of sudden stop and jump shot is a test of coordination and shooting touch. James' coordination and shooting touch have always been poor. Green next to me.

Yu Jia quickly glanced at the Warriors' defensive formation and said in surprise:

"The Warriors were facing Wade by Green. He let Wade go two steps away, and kept staring at James, ready to go up to help defend."

Yang Yi said:

"In the first four games of the finals, Wade didn't take a single three-pointer, and his shooting percentage was 0! Zhang Yu asked Green to defend Wade in order to liberate him and give full play to his defensive ability. It's a small lineup, James has Butler to guard."

On the field, the Warriors attacked, and Green tried to counterattack, but the Heat retreated quickly and the defense fell quickly, so they didn't give him this opportunity.

With the deepening of the finals, the two sides have gotten to know each other very well, and the defense is very targeted. It is difficult to play a simple fast-break counterattack, especially not long after the opening, when both sides are full of energy and concentration.

The Warriors fell into battle, Green passed the ball to Curry, and ran to the weak side to open up space.

Curry beckoned, and Chandler came up to cover him, still two meters away from the three-point line. Bosh followed Spoelstra's instructions and didn't come out.

Chandler blocked Chalmers, and Curry used the cover to make a super long three-pointer.

Bang!

The basketball was a little bit off and hit the front frame. James recovered the inside line and received the rebound.

Yu Jia said regretfully:
"Curry missed a three-pointer. The trajectory of the ball is very positive, but it is a little shorter."

Yang Yi frowned:

"Curry still shoots like this? Is this really a tactic arranged by Zhang Yu?"

Zhang Weiping shook his head:
"It's unreasonable to fight like this..."

In the auditorium of the American Airlines Center, the Heat fans breathed a sigh of relief, followed by endless ridicule:
"I got one and want to get in again? Stop dreaming!"

"Hahaha, this is the finals, do you think your three points are still useful?"

"Is there really someone who uses ultra-long three-pointers as a conventional weapon? If you have the ability, you can start shooting directly from the logo!"

They won't tell anyone that their hearts hang when Curry hits his second long [-]-pointer.

On the court, when the round was changed, James did not continue to attack, but passed it to Wade and let him play one.

Green directly let Wade take a step, blocking Wade's breakthrough route. Wade broke through to the penalty area against Green, and did not have a mobile phone opportunity. At the last moment, he dumped the blame on Mike Miller, who made a three-pointer under Curry's interference. miss.

Looking back, the Warriors attacked, Curry came to the top of the arc, and played a pick-and-roll with Chandler for the third time-still two meters away from the three-point line.

After Yang Yi saw it, he couldn't help but said:
"Is Curry still playing like this? This is not a long-term solution..."

Before he finished speaking, Curry had already used the cover to throw a super long three-pointer.

Bosh raised his hand to interfere, but he was one step away from Curry, and he couldn't interfere with Curry's shooting at all. He just stretched out his hand symbolically, and immediately turned back to look at the basket.

And this look made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, 6:0.

The American Airlines Center fell silent, and the Heat fans opened their mouths, as if they couldn't believe the scene in front of them.

On the sidelines, Spoelstra frowned, looking a little hesitant.

The Heat players on the field, like Bosh, stared blankly at the hollow three-pointer, and then turned to look at the culprit of all this.

Curry retreated back to the backcourt with a smile, the action of chewing the braces seemed to be a silent mockery to them.

The Heat attack, James kills Butler, wants to score two points first, and stabilize the situation, but Green directly let go of Wade, came up to help defend, interfered with James' shot, James missed a layup, the rebound was caught by Chandler grab it.

Looking back, Curry and Chandler picked and rolled for the fourth time. Bosh hesitated and took a step forward. He was scared by Curry's ultra-long three-pointer.

But after Curry bypassed Chandler's screen, without any hesitation, against Bosh's interference, he raised his hand and scored another ultra-long three-pointer!
Under the eyes of everyone, the basketball passed through Bosh's fingertips, followed a graceful arc, and fell into the net.

brush!
"Di-"

Accompanied by the clear sound of brushing the net, there was a sharp whistle, and Spoelstra called a timeout.

"Curry hit another three-pointer from a long distance and stopped the Heat! In less than 3 minutes of the game, the Warriors beat the Heat 9-0!" Yu Jia said excitedly.

Zhang Weiping kept shaking his head:
"It's so unreasonable, it's not reasonable at all..."

Yang Yi exclaimed:

"What kind of shooting ability is this! Curry is using a super long three-pointer to shoot the Heat! This must be a tactic arranged by Zhang Yu for him. The question is, how dare Zhang Yu arrange such a tactic?"

On the court, Curry was not as excited as when he made the first ultra-long three-pointer. He just patted his chest, pointed to the sky with one hand, and looked up reverently.

When he shot just now, he felt that the basket was as vast as the sea, as if there was a surging force surging in his body, controlling his movements, allowing the basketball to enter the net accurately and hollowly.

He believed that this was God's favor for him!
