The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 369 Breaking the Record Again (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
In 2009, the Thunder team used a small lineup in the new era, but due to Durant's height problem, the average height of the Thunder team did not drop much even if the lineup became smaller.

After LeBron James joined the Heat, coach Spoelstra often put on a small lineup. When Chris Bosh was injured in the later stage, James and Haslem would become insiders in individual games.

The Heat's rebounding has always been a problem, which is also a drawback of the small lineup.

In G2015 of the Western Conference Finals in 3, Steve Kerr's starting lineup directly featured the ultimate lineup of Curry, Clay, Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, and Draymond Green. A little dumbfounded, the Warriors are too short.

The tallest on the field is Harrison Barnes at 2 meters, and Draymond Green has become a center forward.

The former All-Star insider David Lee was replaced in less than 3 minutes, and Bogut, who started the first two games, did not get 1 minute of playing time.

Lots of off-ball screens, frequent cuts and catch-and-shoots, nothing like the traditional game, and throughout the first half, very few players landed in the low post.

The times are developing, the rules are changing, and a new basketball model has quietly appeared in front of the fans. If the regular season can’t explain anything, but in the playoffs, the performance of the Warriors in G3 has proved one point:
"Without a big man, relying on excellent shooting, he can suppress the defending champion."

In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans were in high spirits, and there was constant noise on the scene. The sports reporters present were also very surprised. The Warriors really tied with the Clippers by shooting.

In the commentary seat of ESPN, Jeff Van Gundy looked at the technical statistics in his hand and felt that he was really old. He couldn't understand this game:

"I like the home atmosphere of the Warriors. I must praise Stephen Curry for his halftime performance. He made 12 of 8, 8 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 25 points efficiently. The Clippers' comeback."

Mark Jackson felt sour. The Warriors actually used many of his tactics, but unfortunately, the current praise belongs to Steve Kerr:

"Maybe we all fell into a misunderstanding. If you can't restrain Kayce, then beat him on the offensive end."

"14 of 10, including 4 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, Kayce scored 30 points in the half, but the Warriors' strategy succeeded."

The commentator Mike Breen noticed that the number of rebounds between the two sides in the first half was 20:20, and the game was tied. He immediately asked a simple question:
"Why didn't the Clippers get the expected rebounding advantage?"

Jeff Van Gundy replied with emotion:
"Because the Warriors' offense is concentrated on the perimeter and the three-second zone, DeAndre Jordan is frequently pulled to the high position, and most of them are long rebounds. The big men on the field are not dominant."

Mark Jackson shook his head slightly, and said cautiously:

"But lowering the height has also reduced the Warriors' ability to protect the frame. Kayce and Chris Paul have significantly increased the number of attacks to the basket. Green has received three fouls in the half. This is not a good thing for the Warriors. information."

During the intermission, in the Warriors locker room, Green was a little dazed. He put in a lot of energy on the defensive end, but in the face of Li Ze's breakthrough, in many cases, he could only foul.

At the end of the first half, the scene where Li Ze forced two people to kill the basket occurred frequently. Steve Kerr seemed to see what Green was worried about. He stopped mentioning the defensive issue and immediately sent chicken soup to his players :

"This is the Oracle Arena, and this is our home court. Don't worry about fouls. Double-team and defense should be fast. We are two quarters away from victory, so seize the opportunity!"

"Rhythm! Keep the rhythm of the first half, Klay, you will be in charge of Paul in the second half, trust your teammates!"

Hearing what the head coach said, Clay just nodded. Curry's defense was indeed almost meaningless. Everyone tried to hide him on the defensive end.

In the locker room of the Clippers on the other side, everyone looked relaxed, and the quality of the pick-and-roll improved, which also gave Li Ze a lot of opportunities to score easily. As long as the thigh does not fall, everyone is full of confidence.

Coach De Nagro is not worried about the team's scoring problem, and simply draws the precautions for defense on the whiteboard:
"Don't help defend, don't miss the opponent's corner three-pointer, go to the line and defend two, Klay Thompson can't launch a pick-and-roll attack with the ball."

"We can take Stephen Curry's [-]-point shot from the top of the arc, and once the switch is made, the big man tries to defend, sinks back, and lets Steph Curry go to the mid-range."

Jordan could only nod obediently. He made a lot of defensive mistakes in the first half. Once he got too close, Curry's dexterous breakthrough could easily score.

Faced with such a scorer, the coaching staff of the Clippers had a plan in advance. Three points at the top of the arc and two points long are acceptable, but three points at the bottom corner are not acceptable.

Consecutive scoring, it is easy for defensive players to help defend subconsciously. Coach De Nagro is betting that Curry will not always be accurate and fight for offense. He believes in Li Ze's stability.

"Chris, try to chase Curry, we need to consume him."

Hearing what the head coach said, Paul sat on his seat and patted his chest. He could focus on the defensive end. In the second quarter, it was much easier for Li Ze to catch the ball. He didn’t need to play as hard as in the first quarter. .

"I'll try to squeeze through cover!"

Hearing Paul's voice, head coach De Nagro nodded in satisfaction. The Clippers were afraid of hitting a team with a stable score inside, with a big jumper team and a hard attack. They seldom lost.

Li Ze also noticed the head coach's concerned eyes, and immediately smiled and assured:

"Leave the scoring to me!"

The atmosphere group cheered again when they heard Jin Thigh's words. Without Bogut who protected the frame, everyone believed that Li Ze would be able to break through the inside line of the Warriors with ease!

Players from the two teams appeared again, and the atmosphere in the Oracle Arena heated up again. At 62:62 in the half, the home team played a wonderful offense. Warriors fans believed that they would completely explode in the third quarter.

Bravery, this is the secret to the team's victory!

The Clippers also changed to a lineup of one big and four small ones. Tucker made his debut in the second half. As the most hardworking player in the team, the coaching staff believes that Tucker can protect the team's rebounds.

Although the veteran Barnes is a bit struggling on the defensive end, he has rich experience in the game. From position selection to defense, he is still much better than Mengxin.

The DJ at the scene began to shout continuously, and many fans got up to watch the game:

"Let's go Warriors! Let's go Warriors! Let's go Warriors!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, Curry quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, then gave the ball to Green at the top of the arc, then cut in without the ball and moved to the right corner.

The Warriors' tactical purpose is very clear. They want to use off-ball screens to let Curry get rid of Paul's pursuit first, and then move to the line, pick and roll again, and form a small chance to play big.

Off the ball, Paul first encountered Harrison Barnes' screen on the right near the baseline. As Curry moved up the line, he encountered a screen from the left winger Clay.

It's just that this time the tactics were too dogmatic. Curry did get rid of Paul's defense, only to find out that he switched Li Ze to his side.
Green, at the top of the arc, handed the ball to Iguodala, who started from the left corner, on the left wing. The latter received the ball and immediately gave the ball to Curry on the right wing.

After passing the ball, Iguodala immediately signaled Green to cover again, and the tactics were a bit chaotic.

The five-small lineup is not a routine operation of the Warriors, and this kind of coordination error is not the first time it has appeared.

After a lot of tossing and 10 seconds of attack time, the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene remained undiminished. Although the players ran wildly and didn't have many offensive moves, as long as Curry got the ball, everyone started cheering.

After receiving the ball, Curry already felt that something was wrong. Li Ze's defense was extremely oppressive, and he stuck to the defense immediately, so that Curry could only hold the ball with his left hand and protect the ball with his back.

Suddenly started, quickly changed direction with his crotch, and after an emergency stop, he circled the ball behind his back again. Curry's continuous feints not only failed to shake off Li Ze, but were forced to the logo position at the top of the arc.

Green was also a little dazed. Seeing the two entangled together, he could only continue to move forward, preparing to pick and roll.

The pick-and-roll position is too high, and the offensive threat is naturally much smaller. Curry holds the ball with his left hand and uses Green's screen to try to get rid of Li Ze's defense.

It's just that he was too far away from the three-point line, so Li Ze didn't choose to squeeze through the screen, but quickly turned around with Green's advantage, and defended in front of Curry again.

The position at the top of the arc took another 6 seconds. Seeing that the attack time was running out, Curry was in a hurry and immediately came forward and changed direction.

At the moment when the ball just switched to his right hand and was about to accelerate, Li Ze successfully predicted, and at the same time he slid to the left, he cut the ball with his left hand.

"Oh!"

The ball was poked off, and when Li Ze suddenly leaped forward to catch the ball, Oracle Arena immediately burst into exclamations.

Curry at his side tried to fight back, but was brought down by the accelerating Li Ze, who slapped him horizontally on the floor.

After falling to the ground, Curry saw that Li Ze was accelerating, and he was paralyzed.
From stealing the ball to accelerating, it happened too quickly. Seeing that Li Ze had already crossed the half-court, Green reacted and chased after him.

Amid the boos of the fans, Li Ze hit 1 in the frontcourt, easily came to the paint area, took off with both feet, tried to turn 0 degrees in the air, and then smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

"Boom!" A successful steal and dunk!
After completing the dunk, Li Ze brushed his chest towards the camera under the basket, then smiled and shook his head, as if to indicate that the scoring was too easy.

Green, who was chasing after halftime, saw that Li Ze didn't even look at him, and his heart was full of anger, no one was in his eyes!

Thinking that he had been defended for a while without letting Li Zegao take a look, Green was crazy about lemons.
At 64:62, the Warriors made a mistake after the opening of the second half. Steve Kerr stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly:

"Pick and roll early! Hold the rhythm!"

Everyone in the Warriors also reacted. The Clippers always switch defenses. The tactics are simpler, and the pick-and-roll is over.

This time the Warriors attacked, Green took Paul away at the top of the arc, and Curry faced Jordan's retreating defense. He paused for a three-pointer, then quickly changed direction, and threw it directly from the middle distance near the free throw line.

"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily!

Curry scored, the Warriors fans cheered loudly, then sat down to watch the game, and then started shouting again:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Seeing that the defender in front of him had become Clay, Paul couldn't help slowing down and dribbling carefully.

After halftime, Clay took aim at the position of the Clippers players.

In order to cope with the Warriors' defensive rotation, Barnes stood on the right flank, Tucker stayed in the right corner, and Jordan ambush on the right near the baseline.

In this position, if the Warriors double-team Li Ze at the first time, theoretically, after quickly transferring the ball, they will get a chance for a corner three-pointer.

In the left block position, Iguodala's concealed pull did not play much role. Li Ze bounced and caught the ball without extra shaking. After receiving the pass, he quickly turned around and broke through with the ball in his left hand. .

The 45-degree cut from the left is no skill, it's all strength. Carrying Iguodala, he rushed to a position close to the paint.

Green at the basket made an excellent defensive prediction. When Li Ze turned around quickly with his right foot as the axis, he immediately stepped forward to block the shot.

After turning around, Li Ze exerted force under his feet in the paint area, stayed in the air for a short time, ignored the two jumping up to block the shot, and shot a mid-range jumper with a large step back!

"Shua!" Two points scored again!

"Warriors be careful, this kind of defense is too easy for Kayce, almost sending points in the paint!"

Jeff Van Gundy doesn't believe that the Warriors can defend Li Ze with help defense alone, but Mark Jackson is full of praise for Green's defense:

"Draymond Green has excellent defensive awareness. He was selected to the best defensive team this season and definitely deserves his name."

Curry quickly discovered that he could always get the chance to play small and big. After a few rounds, he scored consecutive points in the middle distance.

The Warriors also performed a double-team defense, and the Clippers seized the opportunity to play more and less and responded easily.

The scores of the two sides began to rise alternately. With 2 minutes and 01 seconds left in the third quarter, the score of the two sides reached 80:82.

The Clippers attacked and simply passed the ball from the outside. Li Ze received the ball on the right wing. Clay, who was physically declining, double-teamed and slowed down. He failed to cooperate with Iguodala to complete the defense.

Li Ze seized the opportunity to crush the breakthrough again, and Iguodala cursed secretly, and slid desperately to the left rear.

In the block position on the right side, Green, who noticed the inside line, was ready to help defend again. Li Ze, who was on the move, quickly dribbled the ball behind his back, and then took advantage of the situation with his right foot as the axis, quickly turned towards the bottom line, drifted and shot a jumper!

"Shua!" The middle distance scored again!

Iguodala almost gave up on defense and couldn't keep up with Li Ze's rhythm.

The two sides tied again, and in the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans couldn't stand it anymore, +2 couldn't widen the point difference
The noise of the fans at the scene seemed to make everyone in the Warriors a little anxious. Curry did not choose the mid-range anymore, and made an emergency stop three-pointer directly at the top of the arc facing Jordan, who was coming up from the defense.

"state!"

The rebound popped up and was just received by Tucker. As soon as it was passed to Li Ze, he rushed as soon as he was about to get the ball, and Iguodala immediately fouled tactically.

Curry was a little out of breath. In this quarter, Clay felt average and did not open the outside line. The +2 Clippers were too stable, and felt a lot of pressure for a while.

The coaching staff of the Clippers began to remind everyone that the Warriors have entered a state of additional penalties.

The decline in physical fitness made the Warriors' defensive rotation slower and slower. Li Ze's breakthrough in the middle broke Iguodala's defense again.

The ball knocked out of the basket, and the Oracle Arena burst into cheers. Li Ze had no time to complain to the referee, and Green, who grabbed the rebound, continued to accelerate and rushed across the half court.

Green, who was accelerating with the ball, noticed Tucker who was ignoring the chasing defense on the left flank, rushed in three big steps in the paint, and directly chose the wheel arm to smash the buckle!

He dunked with all his strength, but was intercepted by Li Zegai with his left hand in mid-air. The two fought hard in the air. In the end, Green lost his center of gravity and was knocked down by Li Zegai!
"Oh—! Blocked by Kayce!"

The commentator Mike Brin immediately yelled, and the fans at the scene saw Li Ze take the ball and charge again after completing the block, and immediately broke out with huge boos.

Green, who was rushing to the street, immediately got up, and then chased desperately. The Warriors quickly retreated, and Iguodala stepped forward to block the first time.

The two took off in the paint at the same time, intercepted in the air, hit Li Ze's left shoulder again, and the ball hit the frame again!

The rebound was accepted by Clay, and Curry tried to speed up the conversion after receiving the ball. Paul directly chose a tactical foul.

After losing two goals in a row, Li Ze had time to complain to the referee:
"Hey! Obvious slugger foul! Should have gotten me two free throws at least!"

Coach De Nagro was also so angry that the Warriors obviously couldn't stand it anymore, so they didn't even give free throws.

"You can take the opportunity to watch the replay, we lost 4 points! I hope to see you unify the penalty scale!"

The Warriors fans at the scene started booing, escaped!The complaints of the two did not change the penalty. In the end, the referee only signaled to serve from the sideline, and the Clippers also reached the state of adding penalties.

In the next two rounds, the referee did unify the whistleblowing scale, and the breakthroughs of Iguodala and Clay failed to get free throws.

Seeing the Clippers launch a conversion attack, the Warriors fans booed again.

Li Ze, holding the ball in his right hand, continued to accelerate along the right sideline. Clay tried his best to stick to the defense, but did not dare to foul easily.

When the two came to the right wing beyond the three-point line, the players on both sides had just crossed the half court.

Li Ze quickly changed direction with his crotch, then dribbled the ball behind his back, slowing down while raising his body's center of gravity.

Noticing that Clay's defense was slightly relaxed, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, blasted the ball vigorously on the spot, and at the same time took a step horizontally, converted a three-pointer from a long distance, and quickly shot a jumper!
Klay didn't make any defensive reaction, and turned his head to see the ball fall into the basket.

"Shhh!!"

Seeing the retreating Li Ze put up three fingers, the Warriors fans broke the defense, it was too outrageous, can this also enter?

Steve Kerr on the sidelines finally realized how Popovich felt, rubbed his brows, glanced at the bench, and finally chose to slam the main force.

The Warriors had difficulty scoring, and Curry stood up again, without the need for a pick-and-roll, facing Paul's defense, slightly in and out with his left hand, and then quickly circled the ball behind his back.

He pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand, and suddenly retreated after passing the three-point line with Curry, completely throwing off Paul's defense, and the slightly drifting three-pointer went into the net!
After the goal, Curry shook his fist and roared, the atmosphere in the Oracle Arena exploded, and the Warriors fans cheered loudly.

As the two sides struck iron at the last moment, 85:85, the Warriors withstood the Clippers' offense again.

The clamor filled Oracle Arena, and the Warriors' double-team defense helped, coming close to collapsing at the end, but coming through.

Curry, who was sitting on the bench, was gasping for breath. The situation of Clay, Iguodala, and Green was not much better. Fast rotation meant more physical consumption.

This kind of offense falling into position is not the rhythm of the Warriors.

At the most critical moment of the game, even if Steve Kerr wanted to change the main lineup, the players would not agree, and it would be completely over if they lost.

67 wins and being swept out of the game, the offseason will definitely be ridiculed mercilessly, and no one wants to face such a situation.
On the Clippers' bench, Chris Paul was also exhausted.

Unlike the Heat's oppressive defense by Wade in the game, chasing and defending Curry tonight consumed most of his physical energy. At the end of the third quarter, he was a bit unable to keep up with Curry's rhythm.

Li Ze naturally noticed the physical condition of his teammates. Veteran Barnes also had a rest, and Paul played the entire third quarter.

"I'll mark Steph and let Chris guard Harrison Barnes, which can save some energy."

Paul replenished his water, but he didn't try to be brave. In the end, he bumped fists with Li Ze. Small defense is also something he is good at.

"They can't stand it anymore! No one can last a whole game of crazy double-team defense, work harder!"

Standing up and clapping his hands, Paul encouraged his teammates by the way. Coach De Nagro saw that neither of them had any plans to end, so he simply didn't make substitutions, and let the opponent be knocked down first.

In the live ESPN commentary, Mark Jackson still praised the Warriors' defense:

"Limiting the Clippers to 23 points is no easy feat!"

"I hope the Warriors can persevere. Curry is still efficient in this quarter. He scored 5 of 3 and scored 7 points. Everyone can score. Now it's a competition of willpower."

Jeff Van Gundy also didn't expect the Warriors to rely on five small men to defend the Clippers like this:
"After this game, I think a lot of people will discuss the Warriors lineup."

"Kayce performed well in this quarter, 7 of 4, 2 of 1 outside the three-point line, and scored 9 points. Both teams did not make free throws in this quarter. The Warriors must seize the opportunity!"

Noting the technical statistics, the Clippers made 8 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, and the Warriors made 6 of 1. The commentator Mike Brin chuckled:
"It's an interesting game. The Clippers currently lead the Warriors in the number of shots taken from beyond the three-point line. This situation is the opposite of the regular season!"

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head immediately, then added:

"The Warriors actually rely on cutting and breakthroughs. A team that relies on three-pointers alone cannot achieve a record of 67 wins."

At the beginning of the 4th quarter, the Warriors fans saw that Curry was still on the field, and they cheered again. The Clippers sent a sideline kick and shouted again:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Unlike the previous three quarters, the Clippers finally started to play Curry's pick-and-roll. Tucker in the right corner quickly came to the top of the arc. Curry followed up subconsciously, and then was switched to Paul in the next second. .

Facing Curry's defense, after completing the change in front of his body, Paul accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, pressed against the defense, and circled the inside.

In the end, he didn't force a shot, but gave the ball to Li Ze, who bounced out from the left wing.

According to the previous defense, Curry should continue to chase and defend at this time, and then the defense will rotate in turn, and finally let go of the right corner three-pointer.

It's just that in the fourth quarter of the game, his physical fitness declined, and Curry did not choose to chase and defend. Then, when he turned his head, he saw Li Ze break through with the ball in his left hand.

"Shh!"

The boos of the Warriors fans are much smaller. They have seen this kind of stable +2 scene many times.

Curry had just dribbled the ball halfway, and was immediately defended by Li Ze. He held the ball in his left hand, circled the ball behind his back, and then accelerated his breakthrough. Curry wanted to get rid of the defense quickly, but was pressed to the right by Li Ze flank.

Once close to the sideline, almost forming a pinch, Curry dribbled the ball behind his back again, trying to get rid of Li Ze, but it didn't work.

Curry, who has learned from experience and lessons, will not make the movement of changing direction in front of his body at all. After failing to get rid of it twice, he immediately throws the ball to Green at the top of the arc.

Then run quickly without the ball, cut in the middle, and move to the left corner.

Accelerate, turn, accelerate again!
Stopped suddenly, ran back, and bounced quickly. Curry ran a big circle and briefly got rid of Li Ze's defense, but failed to catch the ball. When he wanted the ball, Li Ze posted it again.

Seeing that the main attacker couldn't catch the ball, Clay finally tried to use his height advantage to force Paul, but turned over in the block position and hit the iron with a fadeaway jumper.
The rebound was accepted by Paul, and the Clippers immediately launched a conversion attack.

The Warriors retreated quickly and completed the defensive matchup immediately. Li Ze, who came to the right flank, suddenly accelerated laterally. With the help of Jordan's cover, he quickly came to the left flank outside the three-point line.

The moment he received the pass from Paul, Green, who was on defense, had already come to Li Ze, swaying from right to left, Li Zeli crossed and dribbled through.

Seeing that Li Ze's center of gravity was extremely low, Green subconsciously slid backwards.

Li Ze only took a big step, exerted strength with his right foot, and quickly retreated beyond the three-point line. Green reacted quickly and immediately jumped up to defend.

In the end, the slightly drifting three-pointer made the ball almost rub against his fingertips and flew towards the basket. After landing, Green heard the exclamation of the fans, and immediately knew that the goal had been scored again.

Looking at Li Ze's retreating back, Green cursed again:
"Shet!"

Steve Kerr on the sidelines immediately covered his forehead, feeling very upset, this can also enter.
At 90:85, seeing the Clippers lead by 5 points, Steve Kerr was forced to request a timeout. He really couldn't afford to lose.

On the Clippers bench, the atmosphere group jumped up and down with excitement, and head coach De Nagro clapped his hands with a smug smile:

"That's it! Kayce, attack!"

Tyronn Lue on the side has a lemon in his heart, what is the tactic?
Single block on the line, lateral movement, catch and strong shot, if you switch to other players to implement this tactic, there is a high probability of hitting the iron, and the small guard will not even be able to force a shot.
"Coaching such players, I can also become a champion coach!"

The atmosphere in the Oracle Arena is no longer enthusiastic. Many Warriors fans saw Li Ze in the playoffs for the first time. This outrageous performance is really disappointing.

Back from the timeout, the Warriors attacked, and Curry was led by Li Ze again, then forced to hand over the ball, and finally was chased by Li Ze.

The top of the arc and Green pick and roll again, briefly get rid of Li Ze's defense, and make a quick shot from outside the three-point line!
"state!"

The rebound was accepted by Jordan Jr., and Paul accelerated again after receiving the ball, and the two sides passed the halftime quickly.

Noticing that the Clippers seemed to be playing the same tactic again, Li Ze went up the line and moved laterally from left to right, and Green switched defenses again.

Faced with a step-back three-pointer, Green exerted all his strength and finally interfered with Li Ze's shot.

"state!"

The moment the ball popped out, Iguodala quickly received the rebound, and then threw the ball directly forward.

Curry caught up with the ball for the first time, and then continued to accelerate. When he was close to the three-point line, the exclamation of the fans came from his ears. He glanced behind him and found that Li Ze had already rushed over.

Coming to the bottom left of the basket, Curry immediately stopped the ball and dangled it, as if realizing that he had cheated the defense, quickly twisted and shot with his right hand.

"Snapped!"

The ball was slapped out of the baseline by Li Ze, and Curry was completely confused.
"If you hesitate, you lose! Come on, Bro!"

Li Ze patted Curry who was still panting. He should dunk at this time, and he might get two free throws.

The Warriors fans couldn't stop booing, and the Oracle Arena was also a little quiet. The point difference was not that big, but their superstar was stretched.

Another sideline kick was taken, and the Warriors made a low-level offensive error. Green dealt the card at the top of the arc, but Curry just ran back. The two made a mistake in cooperation, and the ball flew directly out of the sideline.

On the sidelines, Steve Kerr felt that the team seemed to be collapsing, so he could only roar anxiously:

"Hold the ball and stay focused!"

Paul was no longer in a hurry at this time. He took the ball in the backcourt and immediately waved his hand to signal Jordan to stay on the baseline. Under Clay's interference, he dribbled through halftime with 8 seconds.

Li Ze also took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. In the left corner, Iguodala was almost hanging on him. The moment Paul passed halftime, the two pulled and rushed to the left flank.

During the outside shot, Li Ze suddenly made a counter-running movement, and Iguodala was forced to adjust his defensive focus, stopped and started quickly, and completely lost his defensive position.

The moment Li Ze received the ball from the left flank, Iguodala desperately rushed up, turned around quickly after receiving the ball, and took a large tentative step with his left foot.

Iguodala subconsciously slid back to the right, only to see Li Ze pull out straight away!
"Oh——!"

"Kayce wirh the dagger!"

A jumper was hit from outside the three-point line. In the Oracle Arena, the commentator Mike Breen yelled excitedly, and the Warriors fans fell silent. The point difference came to 8 points
At 93:85, the Warriors, who had been on top for the entire game, seemed to be dying.

"shush"

It took a while to hear scattered boos, which seemed to explain the mood of the fans, and the sound of cheering stopped resounding through the arena.

In such a critical game, superstars must stand up and take responsibility. Curry used Green's cover at the top of the arc to briefly get rid of Li Ze's pursuit.

Accelerating in a straight line with the ball in his left hand, Curry leaned forward in the paint, dodged Jordan's block, and hit the rebound high!
The physical fitness declined, and the floater hit the basket again. Jordan received the rebound, Paul received the ball, and the Clippers launched a conversion attack.

Curry, who was lying on the floor, could only get up quickly, and the Warriors desperately retreated. Green watched Li Ze run horizontally from right to left again, and immediately switched to defense.

At the same moment of catching the ball, he swayed to the right and left, and broke through with a cross step. Green noticed that Li Ze seemed to be retreating again, and slid to the right desperately. The defense was too close, and the next second was suddenly changed by Li Ze's crotch. To, step by step.

Trying to mobilize the defensive focus, it seemed that he stepped on the floor and sweated, and Green plopped and fell to the floor.

The Warriors fans exclaimed, Li Ze rushed to the basket at full speed, jumped with both feet in the paint, and quickly vacated.

Iguodala's body collided with Iguodala who came up from the defense in the air. Li Ze was not affected in any way. He grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and pulled his arm back.
"boom!"

"squeak!"

The basket slammed, and Iguodala, who lost his center of gravity, fell to the street and heard the referee's whistle, and his mind went blank for a while.
On the Clippers bench, the atmosphere group frantically threw a towel, and Li Ze, who finished the dunk, was expressionless. He simply gave a high-five to the teammates who surrounded him, and then walked slowly to the free throw line.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

A small number of Li Ze fans at the scene shouted happily. Steve Ballmer, who was sitting in the front row, put his arms around his friend and punched his friend in celebration.

"Kayce killed the game, the Warriors seemed to be at their limit, and Curry was completely restrained."

Jeff Van Gundy saw Li Zejia hit a free throw and completely entered the Li Zejia mode. Mark Jackson was in a complicated mood, and finally he simply said:

"Maybe this is the gap between star players. At the most critical moment of the Warriors, no one can stand up and score."

Steve Kerr called for a timeout again, and the Warriors went back to the bench, all eyes staring, as if they couldn't believe they were down 11 points.

At 96:85, although there is still time in the fourth quarter, the double-digit point difference seems to have predicted the result of the game.

"Have you heard the cheers from the fans? We still have enough time to reverse the game, defend well, and cherish every round!"

Steve Kerr is still loudly encouraging his players, trying to solve the problem with chicken soup for the soul.

After the timeout, the Clippers have entered the downwind ball mode, and Paul, who has slowed down for a few rounds on the court, began to take over the game.

A mid-range jumper after a pick-and-roll, an accurate shot after a pick-and-roll, and a corner three-pointer after a breakthrough.

Jordan Jr. and Tucker also became active, and Iguodala followed Li Ze bottom corner to smoke, anxious but unable to do anything.

Li Ze put all his energy into defense, and Curry was still running with all his strength, trying to get rid of Li Ze with an off-ball screen.

It's a pity that in most of the rounds, he will be stalked by Li Ze. After several consecutive rounds, Curry's physical fitness declined again. This time, he chose to hold the ball at the top of the arc.

While looking at the movement behind him, Li Ze paid attention to Curry's movements, and observed that Green stepped forward to pick and roll the first time, but did not choose to squeeze through the screen, and turned around deftly against the opponent again.

With the help of the demolished Curry, he took a step forward, and observed that Jordan did not attack, and quickly shot a jumper from the top of the arc!
Green, who was in the pick-and-roll, had no time to remind Curry that just as the ball was out of his hands, Li Ze flew into the air next to Green, rubbed the ball with his fingertips, and finally Curry's shot became three non-stick
The ball fell directly into Tucker's arms, and Paul stepped forward to catch the ball again. The Oracle Arena was a little quiet, and some small fans had already started to hold their heads in their hands.

Li Ze, who rested for several rounds on the field, directly turned his back to the left block this time and asked for the ball.

Iguodala also felt the pain of Leonard and Tony Allen. The defense around the front could not withstand Li Ze, and this time he was stuck behind him again.

After catching the ball, Li Ze put the ball with his right hand and hit his back vigorously. When he was close to the basket, he suddenly pulled the ball back. Squeezed between the two, and picked the basket with his right hand!
"squeak!"

Hearing the referee's whistle, Green's eyes froze, and he was in no mood to argue with the referee.

Steve Kerr on the sidelines seemed to recall that the Spurs were knocked down by Li Ze.

At that time, I thought that if he was the coach, he would definitely limit Li Ze, but now, the Warriors are worse than the Spurs
With Li Zejia's free throw, the score came to 107:92. Mark Jackson looked at the last 2 minutes and 28 seconds left in the game and said with a complicated mood:
"It's over. The Warriors will stop in the Western Conference Finals. There is no suspense. The Clippers will not waste such an opportunity."

Jeff Van Gundy noticed that the Oracle Arena was getting quieter, looked at the technical statistics, and said with emotion:
"Kayce made 8 of 5 in a single quarter, and 3 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. This is the strongest player in the league, an unparalleled performance!"

The Warriors haven't given up yet. Stephen Curry is still shooting, but he continues to hit the iron. In the fourth quarter, he only forced a three-pointer.

Watching the Clippers launch a transition attack again, Clay, who broke the defense, directly chose a tactical foul and sent Li Ze, who was holding the ball, to the free throw line.

Can't run anymore, everyone in the Warriors is holding their hands on their knees. For the first time, Steve Kerr feels that there may be a problem with his tactics, maybe he cares too much about defense.
Li Ze scored two free throws, and the game completely lost its suspense.

With the last 58 seconds left in the game, Curry was substituted off the field, with the noise of the Oracle Arena in his ears. Curry returned to the bench, covered his head with a towel, and stared blankly at the field. situation above.

Coach De Nagro also took advantage of the situation to replace the main force. In this game, he still had the last laugh!
The final buzz sounded, and the score was fixed at 115:100.

In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans booed again. The series fell behind 0:3 and they were about to be out.
The commentator Mike Breen watched the simple handshake of the players from the two teams, and said briskly:

“28中19，其中三分球9中5，罚球12中12，55分5篮板3助攻2抢断3盖帽1失误！”

"Kayce scored 50+ for the fourth time in his career. So far, he has successfully surpassed the record created by Allen Iverson. Congratulations to the fans who watched this game. We have witnessed a new history together!"

The three of them bragged fiercely in the commentary booth, 50+ in the playoffs really went to heaven!
Seeing Li Ze walking towards him, Steve Kerr smiled helplessly:

"Incomparable performance, congratulations, Kayce!"

The two can be regarded as old acquaintances, Li Ze stepped forward to hug and greet, and then said with a smile:

"Good luck, Steve! You will definitely win the championship, but this year belongs to me! 73 wins, you know, I don't want to be the laughing stock of everyone!"

Steve Kerr shook his head with a smile, patted Li Ze on the shoulder, felt the disappointment of the fans in the Oracle Arena, and sighed in a low voice:

"I really envy De Nagro, I knew I should have gone to the Clippers!"
