Chapter 576 G6 Soup!
Leonard has become the center of attention, but Klay's role cannot be ignored.

He didn't feel good in the first two games, and finally ushered in a recovery today. He made 18 of 8 shots, 12 of 6 three-pointers, and no free throws. He scored 22 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Scored 14 points in one game, propped up the Warriors' offense, and waited for Leonard's explosion in the second half.

Green is the key as always. He made 9 of 4 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 1 free throws, 11 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 5 fouls. Supporting the Warriors' defense, even 5 fouls are crucial, blocking the Clippers' must-go goals 3 times in advance, showing top-level ball quotient and defensive sense.

The outstanding performance of the Warriors trio overshadowed Paul's performance of 28 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.

Paul continued his excellent form in the previous few games today, and he has not pulled his hips so far, but Leonard's performance today is even better.

Jordan and Griffin were lost in the jungle of the Warriors' long arms. They were not afraid of physical confrontation, but the Warriors' physical confrontation was tough with cunning. The others were tough, and Green was tough and cunning. Free throw line, don't even give them free throws.

格里芬15分7篮板3助攻1抢断4失误，小乔丹7分12篮板2封盖2失误，出了后场篮板保护得不错，其他方面都大失水准。

伊戈达拉的手感倒是不错，全场9投5中，三分7中4，罚球2中2，砍下16分5篮板3助攻1抢断1封盖。

But after the Warriors entered the fifth grade, Rivers was obsessed with attacking the Warriors inside. Paul and Griffin had all the ball. He just used Iguodala as an engineer, which wasted his touch. Otherwise, who would win the game , is not yet known.

After the game, Rivers, who was belatedly aware, finally woke up, and he fell into Zhang Yu's trap.

The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are obsessed. During the game, Rivers is always unable to respond in time, but once the game is over, he thinks about it for a while and understands what he did wrong.

The five small lineups of the Warriors are not small at all, Danny Green 1 meters, Clay 96 meters, Leonard 2 meters, Green 01 meters, Parsons 2 meters, both mobility and confrontation, The most important thing is that the Warriors still have home court advantage. The referee's scale today is very loose. He let Griffin and Jordan attack the Warriors inside, which is to stuff them into a meat grinder.

On the contrary, we should use the Clippers' inside advantage to attract defense and create opportunities on the outside. Even if the Warriors' rotation is fast and the striker's ability to intercept passes is very strong, it is better than a frontal attack.

But it is too late to figure it out now. In the post-match interview, the reporter asked why the Clippers lost this game. Rivers did not reveal his shortcomings. He just said vaguely:
"We fought to the last moment today, but the Warriors were very tenacious. They played a good game. We had a chance to win, but Chris and JJ didn't make a three-pointer at the last minute. We just lost to luck……"

"Redick switched defenses in front of Leonard many times in the second half. What do you think of his defense?"

"JJ's defense against Leonard? I don't think there is any problem with it. The five players in the Warriors all have shooting ability. We have to block their three-pointers. However, Leonard's state today is far better than ever, We should strengthen the protection of jj, I will watch the game video when I go back, and find a better way to defend Leonard, he will not score so many points in the next game..."

"The Warriors have already tied the big score to 2:3, how will you deal with the next game?"

"Today's game has sounded the alarm for us. The series is not over yet. We can't relax. We will go all out for the next game!"

Regardless of whether he wins or loses, Rivers' speeches are always so impeccable. When it's Zhang Yu's turn, it will be different.

When the reporter asked why the Warriors won today, Zhang Yu said confidently:
"Our five small lineups performed very well. This is the key reason for our win. Each of us has energy on the defensive end. Although we are not tall enough, we blocked the Clippers from scoring inside. This is crucial to winning. It matters. Kawhi had the best game of his career and I have to tip my hat to him, he was a terrific scorer and defender who saved the team in the face of adversity and in the absence of Steph , everyone has to step up and help the team, Kawhi did a great job."

"The Warriors have already tied the big score to 2:3, are you confident to win G6?"

"Of course!" Zhang Yu replied without hesitation, "The five small lineups will continue to play a role. As I said, I found the weakness of the Clippers. You have already seen that the Clippers cannot deal with the five small lineups. Today is just a counterattack. At the beginning, we will drag the game into the tiebreaker, come back here, go back to the Oracle Center, and then start a decisive battle with the Clippers!"

Leonard, as the most dazzling player today, also accepted the post-match interview, but he was very calm in his career, just smiled and said:
"I just play, the boss told me that I need to play and score, I just did it, I am very happy to set a career record, but the series is not over, we will continue to fight..."

Compared with Leonard's calmness, the fans were ecstatic about the Warriors' victory, calling "Coach Z No. 1 is handsome" and "Death five are invincible"!
Those Warriors fans who have been dissatisfied with Leonard this season and missed Butler also apologized to Leonard, saying that they had misread it, and Leonard is the answer to the Warriors' front line.

There were even neutral fans who came to eat melons and watch the show, and wanted to watch the fall of the defending champion, and even became Leonard's fans because of Leonard's wonderful performance, and turned to support the Warriors to complete the big comeback.

But more people are still just watching the show, whether it is the defending champion being eliminated in the second round, or the Clippers' 3:1 lead being reversed, it is a wonderful show.

……

May 5, 16 p.m., Staples Center.

After two days of rest, the Warriors and Clippers series G6 started.

Yesterday, Rivers accepted a pre-match interview, saying that the Clippers had found a way to crack the Warriors' five small lineups.

But after the start of the game, the two sides still started regularly. Zhang Yu did not play the fifth team of death at the beginning. The two teams continued to attack and defend according to the normal rhythm. Rivers could only hold back the opportunity to prove that he is also a tactical master.

Hmph, last time I just didn't think clearly for a while, I made a small mistake and let you escape, this time, you won't have another chance, in my home field, don't even think about it Get on the body again!

Full of confidence, Rivers patiently waited for the Clippers to gain an advantage, forcing Zhang Yu to sacrifice the five players, and then broke them in one fell swoop.

But the game didn't develop in the direction he envisioned, because Clay broke out suddenly.

In this game, Rivers learned a lesson and let Iguodala mark Leonard, and Redick went to match Clay.

At the same time, because Leonard almost scored at close range in the last game, Rivers reflected that he seemed to pay too much attention to the Warriors' three-pointers, so he did not let Jordan and Griffin switch defenses today. Chase back after the screen is delayed, and strengthen the defense of the inside.

If it is facing other teams, Rivers' adjustment is very stable and will not make mistakes, but at the same time he let Redick face Clay, but he committed the second huge attack after G5's brainless attack on the inside. mistake.

After Zhang Yu saw that the Clippers had changed their alignment, he immediately made adjustments. Chandler and Green took turns to screen for Clay. Clay caught the Clippers inside and chased after a delay. Catch and shoot.

This quasi-short-lived space is not an opportunity for most shooters, but in front of Clay, it is no different from an open space.

第一节，克莱就投进3记三分球，打成1次2+1，砍下12分，勇士以25:22领先快船3分。

In the second quarter, Clay only rested for 3 minutes before returning to the court, but Rivers still did not change his defense, and he still did not change his defense in front of Clay.

Barkley, who was on the sidelines commentary, couldn't stand it any longer, and said angrily:
"Rivers' on-the-spot adjustment relies on Dog X!"

In the face of such a defense, Clay was like no one, and made 3 three-pointers, one of which was Redick's chasing and defending foul, which was a 3+1 and scored 10 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the half, the Warriors led the Clippers by 58 points 52:6-Clay's explosion was only one reason. Paul, who had played well in the previous 5 games, finally felt inaccurate today.

In the first half, Paul made 8 of 2 shots, 4 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 2 free throws. Griffin bit the score.

During the intermission, Rivers, who reacted a little slower, finally realized that his arrangement was wrong and adjusted his defense against Clay.

In the second half, Iguodala went to chase Clay again, and the Clippers delayed Clay a lot from inside, focusing on limiting his three-pointers.

After seeing the Clippers' defensive measures, Barkley finally praised Rivers:
"Rivers is not so stupid. As long as Clay is strangled, the Warriors' offense will come to a standstill."

But Clay's touch is coming, and no one can stop it. He has entered the zone state, ignoring any interference, and making a three-pointer, and Iguodala can't defend it.

There was even a round when Clay stepped on the Clippers logo to catch the ball. Iguodala stood a step in front of him. He looked up at the basket and suddenly pulled up to shoot. To be able to look back and watch the basketball go into the net.

In the third quarter, Clay scored 4 three-pointers, two mid-range shots, and scored 16 points in a single quarter. The Warriors led the Clippers by 85 points 76:9.

Seeing the unstoppable Clay, Rivers was completely in a panic. After the start of the fourth quarter, as soon as Clay got the ball, the Clippers would attack and never let him shoot a three-pointer.

Seeing that Rivers overcorrected, changed his indifference to Clay in the first half, and wished to pile all his defensive resources on Clay, Zhang Yu knew that he was in a mess.

Taking advantage of his illness and killing him, Zhang Yu made adjustments, using Clay as bait, Green dealt cards, and others covered Clay. When Clay attracted two people's defenses, the screener cut to the basket again Score.

The first three quarters were Clay's one-man show, and the fourth quarter was a group performance for the Warriors. Clay played 12 minutes and only scored 5 points, but Green, Chandler, Leonard, Livingston, Parsons, Parsons scored.

On the other hand, the Clippers, Paul misfired, and Griffin could only rely on the home court advantage, and the Warriors scored in the penalty area again and again, and stood at the free throw line a few times, and finally recovered 2 points. Looking back, Green and Clay handed each other a false hand If he really breaks through and steals chickens, his efforts will be wiped out in an instant.

The Clippers couldn't defend against the Warriors' offense, and couldn't even get close to the point difference. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Clippers 106:95, dragging the series into the tiebreaker!

克莱全场狂砍43分4篮板1助攻1抢断，打破了刚刚在首轮G2创造的职业生涯季后赛得分纪录，以一己之力扳平了大比分！
After the game, Zhang Yu quickly came to the field, hugged Clay, and said loudly:
"Thank you Klay, you saved the team!"

Zhang Yu knows the power of G6 soup better than anyone else, but without Curry to attract defense for Clay, he doesn't expect Clay to break out today, but pins his hopes on the desperate offense of the dead five.

But Rivers made a mistake again. Leonard, who benefited from the tactics and broke out, focused on guarding, and asked Redick to chase Clay, and cultivated Clay's touch. Of course, Zhang Yu could only accept this gift with a smile.

When the Warriors team celebrated the victory, the Clippers players walked off the court in despair, and the Clippers' bench was dead silent. Although the big score was 3:3, their mood was worse than being behind 1:3.

Rivers also lost his usual self-confidence. With a livid face, he walked towards the players' tunnel, his bald head reflecting the lights, and the oily shine was shining, making him look extraordinarily funny.

During the interview, facing the reporter's sharp questions, he didn't have a smile on his face, and his face was very ugly:

"The series is not over yet, we still have a chance, we will give [-]% effort in the next game, and we will never let the victory slip away from us..."

"Leonard broke the record in the last game, and Thompson broke the record today. Does this mean that the Clippers' defense has a big problem?"

Rivers paused for a moment and said:

"I have to be responsible for this. Thompson is a top three super shooter in the league, probably second only to Curry, but we gave him a lot of three-pointers in the first half, and made adjustments in the third quarter, but he has Entering the rhythm of scoring, we cannot be restricted by conventional defensive methods. We can only flank him and give the Warriors a chance to score. Our defense in the next game will be more balanced, and this will never happen again. Condition!"

The Clippers lost two games in a row, and Rivers no longer had the high spirits he had before, but according to the law of conservation of smiles, the smile on his face did not disappear, but was transferred to Zhang Yu's face.

Facing the reporter, Zhang Yu smiled all over the scene:

"We have found the rhythm of victory, the Clippers have no lead, and we will win the tiebreaker at home! Klay's performance today will be recorded in history, he played a great game, the last game It's Kawhi, it's Klay in this game, and there will be others who will continue to stand up in the next game. In the days when Stephen is absent, all of us are united, and we are still the defending champion!"

　Thanks for the reward of Yuanshan Misty!
