NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 135
Whether it is Wang Feng, other Warriors players, or even expert commentators from the league and from all walks of life, they all believe that G5 in the finals will be another battle between dragons and tigers, and the intensity may even be even better than G4.

On one side is the Warriors playing at home, with the blessing of the field.

On the other side is the Cavaliers who have half their feet on the edge of the cliff and can only advance but not retreat.

No matter what kind of intense scenes occur in this game, it is not surprising.

However, what no one expected was that the Warriors quickly took the initiative in the game at the beginning of the game, always pressing down on the Cavaliers.

There are two reasons for this situation. The first is Drummond Green's sudden outbreak without warning.

Green is not a player who is good at offense, and his offensive ability is very poor. Even in the next few seasons, when his three-point shooting ability does not advance but retreats, Green even feels a little bit behind the team in many cases.

The 15-16 season was considered the peak of Green's offensive career. He made 38% of his three-pointers in the regular season, but his average career three-pointer was only 31.9%.

But in this game, Green's three-pointer seemed to be on fire.

Originally, the Cavaliers' defense against Green was to put you one step away from the three-point line. If you have the ability, you can make a shot. If you can't make a rebound, just let me.

But in today's game, Green hit all of the outside three-pointers!The halftime was not over, and he had already made 5 of 5 three-pointers, and he was stunned to shoot directly for the Cavaliers.

Suddenly, Wang Feng remembered that in another time and space, in the seventh and seventh games between the Warriors and Cavaliers, Green also seemed to have a divine help, scoring 8 points, 6 rebounds and 32 assists in 15 of 9 three-pointers.

It's a pity that Curry and Thompson both pulled their hips in that game, which eventually caused the Warriors to lose the game and the championship.

Green was really strong in that game. He played 47 minutes, made 15 of 11 shots, and his shooting percentage was as high as 73%!

"Could it be that in this game, Green is going to explode the small universe in advance?"

Thinking of this, Wang Feng became a little excited.

Curry didn't pull his hips in today's game. Although he didn't feel particularly good, he was able to maintain a shooting rate of more than 40%. Coupled with himself, he worked hard to really overwhelm the Cavaliers in 5 games!

The Warriors' ability to take the initiative in the game is not only Green's outbreak, but also the team's change of the overall defensive tactics.

In the previous few games, the Warriors used normal defensive tactics, man-to-man, and each position faced each other.

But in this game, Cole adjusted his defensive tactics and switched back to the routine of the regular season.

As the shooting guard, Wang Feng directly switched defenses with Curry to mark Kyrie Irving.

Owen's personal ability is very strong, there is no doubt about it, but Wang Feng's defensive style just restrains his skills.

Irving's speed burst is not fast among defenders. The breakthrough mainly depends on dribbling skills and rhythm changes. Death Coil can break it!

The reason why Irving's rhythm changes can easily deceive opponents into the basket is closely related to his excellent mid-range and long-range shooting. Aspects will involuntarily move forward.

This point can be completely suppressed by Wang Feng's defensive deterrence.

In addition, regardless of these ability factors, Wang Feng, who is 2 meters tall, also suppresses Owen, who is 01 meters tall, in terms of size.

Therefore, when Irving faced Wang Feng's defense, his performance immediately became abnormal, far less stable and eye-catching than the previous games.

Although his personal ability is outstanding, he is not a top-level star after all. Even though he has won numerous awards in his career, such as the No. [-] point guard award in a certain sound, the most gorgeous game style award, etc., but against Wang Feng, who restrained him with his technical style, he immediately Hands are tied, unable to play as one likes.

For Wang Feng, who has the top purple defensive shock and golden death entanglement, as long as the opponent is not an opponent like James who can crush him with strength, or an opponent like Durant who is tall and long and can ignore defense, he can beat him. live!
In the first quarter of the game, under the defense of Wang Feng, Irving only hit 5 goal in 1 shots. Still relying on 4 of 3 free throws, he barely scored 5 points.

Another giant, Kevin Love, also struggled in the face of Green's defense.

After joining the Cavaliers, Love's performance has been ups and downs. He suddenly changed from the No. [-] core leader of the Timberwolves to the team's No. [-] player. The sudden change of status made Love feel uncomfortable. It's a struggle. It just so happens that Green's style of defensive player is also his least favorite type.

Two of the Big Three of the Cavaliers did not perform well, and only James was struggling to support him. Even No.1 in the league, he seemed extremely weak in this situation. He tried his best to continuously hit the Warriors' basket to create Killing, can only be matched with Green in terms of performance.

The Warriors are not only Green, but also Curry and Wang Feng.

Curry didn't perform very well today. He scored 5 points on 2 of 7 shots in the first quarter. His scoring was slightly better than Irving's but limited.

But Wang Feng's performance was as stable as an old dog.

Green's outburst forced the Cavaliers to start guarding against Green's three-pointers. As a result, the shooting space on the court was enlarged, which was almost the same as when Thompson was on the court, directly giving Wang Feng a chance to play.

Such an opportunity is rare, how could Wang Feng be polite?Whenever he catches the ball, he will immediately shoot without hesitation. Although the efficiency is not as good as that of Green, it is enough when the two teams are stalemate!
At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams reached 42:53, with the Warriors leading by 11 points!
Green scored 22 points at halftime, Wang Feng had 11 points, and Curry scored 9 points. Only three scored, which was the same as the entire Cavaliers team.

In the third quarter of the game, the Cavaliers began to fight back.

James hit all the main attacks with the ball in the first few rounds, scored 7 points in a row by himself, and successfully closed the point difference to within 10 points.

But before the Cavaliers were happy for too long, the Warriors immediately fought back.

First, Wang Feng made a three-pointer from the outside and scored a three-pointer. Then Green broke through and rushed to the basket to score a dunk. Then Curry also made a 2-for-2 free throw at the basket. It was also 7 points. The score that James finally drew close was opened again.

Until the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams was still above double digits.

In the fourth quarter, James, who played for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his shooting percentage began to gradually decline. Although Irving began to take over the ball and frequently used pick-and-roll screens to separate Wang Feng from scoring, it was too late.

The problem that plagues the Cavaliers is not offense, but defense.

There is always someone in the Warriors who can step forward and continue to contribute high scores to help the team win.

Wang Feng in the last game, Green in this game, and in the previous few games, the warriors with all healthy members don't even need anyone to stand up, as long as they play normally, they can easily win the game.
