The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 400 Little Tricks Don't Work Anymore
On May 5, the NBA announced the best rookie of the 20-15 season, and Karl-Anthony Towns of the Timberwolves won the award as a unanimous vote.
新秀赛季打满82场,场均砍下18.3分10.5篮板2.0助攻0.7抢断1.7盖帽2.2失误的数据了。
Although not as amazing as Blake Griffin, the American sports media also praised the performance of the new Downs:
"Getting a double-double in his rookie season, Towns is fulfilling his talent, and the Timberwolves have a bright future!"
But when accepting the award, the new best rookie made a bold speech:
"I will not leave the Timberwolves. The current team has enough talent. We will become the next Thunder team."
"Kayce and KD have always been my idols, and I will win a championship for the Timberwolves like them!"
In high school, Mengxin Towns also interviewed Durant. Many young players liked the Thunder team very much, but this kind of speech made Jamie break his defense:
"These young players lack respect for veterans!"
Of course, the Comets also followed suit. As Li Ze’s influence grew, critics began to question Kobe’s high-level statistics, and new players no longer entered the league and became Mamba disciples.
Everything has changed. Li Ze's success has made young players more ambitious. At the same time, the new generation who have witnessed "brother basketball" is no longer easy to fool. The era of fooling players by painting cakes is gone forever.
The five players selected for the best rookie team also have a different style from previous years:
Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, Devin Booker, D'Angelo Russell, Jahlil Okafor.
Two guards, three centers, and big men occupy half of the best rookie team. Many ball critics believe that the era of strikers is about to pass!
However, such a point of view can only be entertained by professional football critics. Is the era of strikers over?
Li Ze, Kevin Durant, LeBron James are still unbeatable.
Although Durant has gone home to fish, but looking at the league's teams have turned into licking dogs, you know that the striker will never go out of style.
In the current NBA, the only one who has played against the trend is the Warriors. Stephen Curry has become a role model for many small players.
在昨晚结束的西部决赛G2的比赛中,绝境之下,库里出场42分钟,25中11,三分线外13中7,罚球10中9,怒砍38分5篮板4助攻1抢断4失误。
Although he was a little embarrassed after the game and lay down directly due to overdraft, many players were greatly encouraged by seeing Curry's performance:
"Small guards can beat Kayce-Li too!"
The Warriors team made 36 of 17 three-pointers, Harrison Barnes made 5 of 4 three-pointers outside the line, and Clay made 9 of 4 three-pointers. Under desperate circumstances, the Warriors collectively broke out.
In the TNT program, Curry was naturally followed by the madness, and the host Ernie Johnson even made fun of his old partner beside him:
"Steph Curry led the Warriors to win games with jump shots. This is the new era of basketball."
At this time, Charles Barkley forgot that he was not optimistic about the Warriors before, and showed a hard-core Yumi look, laughing and saying:
"This is the Warriors we expect. Curry can't stop him. He made the Clippers' defense pay the price!"
"When Harrison Barnes you can respond on the perimeter, no one beats this Warriors team."
Kenny Smith didn't expect this person to become a fool again, and also joked:
"Don't forget that the Warriors didn't win the game until the last moment. The Clippers did not perform well outside, with 24 of 9, but Kayce is still the most stable scoring point."
“28中19,三分线外9中4,罚球8中8,50分12篮板6助攻2抢断2失误,我相信回到主场后,Kayce依然会延续这样的表现。”
Mentioning Li Ze's data, Barkley rubbed his forehead, and the battery was out again.
40+ in the regular season and 50+ in the playoffs. No player in history has achieved such an outrageous scoring ability.
After this year's playoffs, Li Ze will set a bunch of outrageous records, all of which are unique in history. It can be expected that they will have to revolve around Li Ze again during the offseason
America's sports media has fully adapted to Li Ze's data. It only took more than half a month from the initial enthusiasm to the current habit.
O'Neal also doesn't think there is anything to brag about Li Ze's 50 points. The super center praised the Warriors and did not forget to belittle Green's performance:
"Curry assumed the responsibility of the leader, but the Warriors' interior defense has a big problem."
"Nikola Jokic has been able to get a steady 12+10 double-double in these two games. Draymond Green is not as tough as he says."
"Even if the Warriors make it to the Finals, facing the Cavaliers or the Raptors, their interior is still at a disadvantage."
The host Ernie Johnson corrected another sentence at this time:
"The Warriors also have a great rim-protecting center, but Kayce is unstoppable in the pick-and-roll, and he can easily punish opposing bigs, compared to LeBron's inconsistent mid-range."
Charles Barkley came to the spirit again at this time, and once again went crazy with the poisonous milk Cavaliers:
"I believe the Cavaliers will take their chances tonight and win two home games, just like LeBron James said, he will break the curse of Cleveland sports."
"."
The Clippers, who returned to Los Angeles on the morning of the 20th, were not in the mood to pay attention to the situation in the Eastern Conference finals. After more than three days of rest, they will face the Warriors at home.
In the case of grasping the initiative, the next two home games are very important. If the match point can be successfully obtained, then there is a high probability of ending the series in one fell swoop.
In the afternoon training session, head coach De Nagro was still giving Tobias Harris chicken soup for the soul:
"Don't worry about the defensive end, we can completely accept Curry's singles scoring after switching defenses."
"Harris, all you have to do is to ensure your offensive efficiency, and we all believe you can do this."
Entering the playoffs, the first round was 20+, and Harris' data in the semi-finals shrank a bit. This space-oriented power forward keeps a low profile off the court, and his presence on the court is not strong.
In the Western Conference finals, G1 quietly scored 18 points, and G2 also scored 15 points. The lack of aggressiveness is Harris' shortcoming, but it is still no problem to digest about 15 shots.
Harris enjoys his current tactical position very much. In this kind of daily training sessions, the coaching staff often tutors him individually.
Hearing the head coach's instructions, Harris, who was wearing a training suit, nodded happily, and promised with confidence:
"I will perform even better than in the last round. The Warriors' inside line cannot score strongly in the low post. In the next two games, I will find my form!"
Coach De Nagro patted the tool man on the shoulder again to show encouragement.
The only problem for the Clippers at present is that once the opponent double-teams Li Ze too early, they may not be able to come back after the ball is out.
Playing more and playing less is of course an opportunity, but not every player is as stable as Li Ze, and sometimes he still hits the iron when he is open.
The coaching staff hopes that Harris can finish efficiently. After all, the salary of 1600 million has to bear the responsibility. Fortunately, Jokic and Ingles can also handle the ball. Overall, there is not much pressure.
Li Ze is also giving Jokic a psychological massage. Every time he plays against the Warriors, the inside players will be punished badly. Under the existing rules, no one can guarantee that he can squeeze through the screen steadily.
"Don't care about the opponent's pick-and-roll offense. The main thing is to protect the basket and backboards. Some points must be given to the opponent. This is the NBA. Offense is always greater than defense."
Jokic knew that what Li Ze said made sense, but Fatty Bai also wanted to do his part. After all, the outside line was accommodating him throughout the season:
"I will try to maintain a good defensive center of gravity, I can do better!"
Li Ze nodded with a smile and continued to do warm-up exercises. Instead of expecting the fat man to suddenly become a master of pick-and-roll defense, it is better to pray that Ingles and Reggie Bullock can make more three-pointers.
Coach De Nagro's strongest tactics are becoming more and more proficient. Li Ze doesn't care about these details, but other main players are inevitably affected.
Just thinking about the playing time of the Warriors' starting lineup, Li Ze still believes that the Clippers have a big advantage:
"The playoffs are all about physical fitness, and the Clippers have already won!"
After more than three days of rest, everyone in the Warriors can breathe a sigh of relief. Steve Kerr was still putting pressure on the referee when he was interviewed:
"Curry has been pulled and defended many times. I hope the referees in the league can respect Curry's performance!"
Coach De Nagro also accepted an interview with Fox Sports after the Clippers finished their daily training in the evening, expressing his views by the way:
"The most important thing is that the whistle scale is consistent. I don't want to discuss the Warriors' screen problem, but I believe the referee will make the right call."
The war of words between the two sides is still friendly. After all, the two teams are not mortal enemies. The Warriors can be regarded as challengers, and they can’t stand up to the Dynasty team that has won 73 victories.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals on the night of the 20th, the Cavaliers once again showed their dominance!
At 89:108, the Cavaliers at home easily won the Raptors again, and the series score became 2:0.
勒布朗-詹姆斯出场37分钟,13中7,罚球17中9,高效砍下23分11篮板11助攻3抢断2失误的三双数据;
Irving scored 22 of 12 and scored a team-high 26 points. Love scored 8 of 5 and also scored 19 points. The trio performed very efficiently.
Kyle Lowry still didn't get rid of the "trash brother" buff, 14 of 4, 8 of 1 from the three-point line, and scored 10 points.
Interestingly, as the playoffs progressed, the remaining four teams all stretched their three-pointers.
Tonight, the Raptors are 33-of-9 from outside, and the Cavaliers are 21-of-7 from outside. They are basically on the same level as the Clippers. At present, only the Warriors have exploded in G2.
Obviously, under the high-intensity defense, the middle distance and the basket are still the mainstream scoring methods in the current league. After the game, many ball critics also tweeted and sighed:
"Compared to the three-point shot, the stable mid-range will never go out of fashion!"
There was no game on May 5, and the NBA announced the best defensive lineup for the 21-15 season by the way:
The five players in the best defensive team are:
Kawhi Leonard, Li Ze, Draymond Green, DeAndre Jordan, Avery Bradley;
The five best defensive second team players are:
Paul Millsap, Paul George, Hassan Whiteside, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler.
After the All-Defensive Team was announced, many Amelia fans noticed that Chris Paul was missing this year.
The Rockets failed to make it to the playoffs, and their impression points were stretched to the extreme. Chairman Cannon has recently been autistic and has not accepted any interviews from media reporters.
It took Paul only one season from the champion defender of the 180 club to the deceptive core. The contrast was so great that many fans could not accept it.
Unsurprisingly, after the announcement of the best defensive team, fans of Paul and fans of Harden broke out again. Both sides complained to each other, thinking that the other side delayed their own stars.
However, most American fans still discuss the possibility of Durant joining the Clippers in the offseason on Reddit:
"KD and Kayce teamed up, and the Clippers have the ability to directly eat his maximum salary contract during the offseason. This is definitely the most correct choice."
"If KD joins the Clippers, Kayce's number of championships will surpass Bill Russell and become the undisputed GOAT in NBA history!"
"Kayce is now GOAT. Which star in history have you seen can score as steadily as him? He has surpassed Michael Jordan."
"Why did KD join the Clippers? Partnering with Kayce can't improve his historical status. Joining the Lakers is the most correct choice."
"The Celtics welcome KD. Griffin will return from injury next season. I am optimistic about this combination. I swear, no one dares to underestimate us."
"We can try to trade Leonard, KD+Aldridge, under the guidance of Popovich, the Spurs will return to the ranks of the championship team."
"I'm fed up with the so-called brother basketball. KD should try to beat Kayce instead of joining him. LeBron James' decision back then was too bad."
"Maybe KD can join the Warriors. Believe me, this will make the Warriors the strongest offensive team in history."
"That would definitely be a bad decision. The league can award the Warriors directly, four All-Stars? The Warriors can't afford this contract right now."
"."
Under the existing conditions, if you want to continue to compete for the championship, joining the Clippers is the best choice.
Amerika's football critics have recently asked the league to prevent this transaction from happening. Many people are tired of aesthetics, and they don't want to see Li Ze continue to win the championship.
This topic is becoming more and more popular, and the degree of discussion has even surpassed the division finals. After all, Li Ze and Durant teamed up, and that would really be the finale.
Everyone in the Warriors felt that they were ignored. No one discussed the 73 wins, and no one discussed the difficult tie-breaker in the Western Conference semifinals.
On the morning of the 22nd, the Warriors set off for Los Angeles, and they will usher in the crucial G3 tomorrow night.
Draymond Green was uncharacteristically silent on the plane.
G2的比赛中,9中2,只拿到9分12篮板3助攻1盖帽2失误的数据,这样的表现自然不符合格林的预期。
But the Clippers' defensive strategy made him very uncomfortable. Green was used to the days when Curry was double-teamed and he dominated the ball.
Steve Kerr naturally saw Green's state and took the initiative to appease the team's defensive core:
"Don't worry about offense, you're the defensive core of this team right now, do your job and we'll win the series."
Draymond Green finally just nodded, hugging the thigh is really not ashamed.
The coaching staff of the Warriors also knew the internal situation of the team. Li Ze scored steadily and had almost become a nightmare for everyone. The happy atmosphere in the past had completely disappeared.
On the night of the 22nd, the Cavaliers once again threw out ridiculous data on the perimeter.
41 of 14 from beyond the three-point line, and JR-Smith shot 15 times from beyond the three-point line alone.
It's just that the crazy three-point shooting didn't let them continue to win. 84:99, the Raptors returned to the home court and finally defeated their opponents and pulled back a victory.
LeBron James played 41 minutes, scored 17 of 9 and scored a team-high 24 points for the Cavaliers.
In the away game, Irving scored 19 of 3 points and scored 13 points. Love scored 9 of 1 points and scored 3 points. The two of them stretched at the same time, which is relatively rare.
At the press conference after the game, both DeRozan and Lowry received crazy praise from the sports media.
The two scored 52 points together, playing the best performance in the current series.
On May 5, the NBA officially announced the best lineup for the 23-15 season:
The top 5 players in the first team are:
Lee Ze, Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, DeMarcus Cousins;
The five best second team players are:
Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Draymond Green, LaMarcus Aldridge, Klay Thompson;
The five players in the best three teams are:
Andre Drummond, Paul George, Damian Lillard, Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler.
After the announcement of the best lineup, each team released data posters for their star players.
Three of the Warriors were selected to the best lineup, which immediately made many fans feel elated, which is in line with the treatment of a 73-win team!
America's ball critics saw that the five players in the best team realized that the current NBA league is still dominated by big strikers.
Except for Curry, there are 4 players left, all of whom are over 2 meters tall.
It's just that when Durant might join the Clippers during the offseason, a large number of ball critics began to appeal on social media:
"No one wants to see two scoring champions join forces. If the league wants to develop healthily, it should keep all teams competitive!"
"."
On the night of the 23rd, the three-man team of the Warriors was in good spirits when they had a happy event. In addition, after three days of rest, their physical condition has also adjusted.
At 61:58, at the end of the half, the Warriors led by just 3 points.
Taking advantage of the intermission, in the TNT commentary booth, the commentator Kevin Harlan calmed down and briefly summarized the halftime game:
"The Warriors were 21-for-11 from beyond the arc and shot 52.4 percent from beyond the arc. That's an unbelievable performance."
"Klay Thompson must be praised. He is definitely a big-time player. He made 12 of 8 in the half, 8 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 26 points efficiently!"
Reggie Miller didn't expect the Warriors to shoot three-pointers like rain tonight and shoot so accurately:
"Curry's performance was also impressive. Under Kayce's pursuit, he made 8 of 4 in the half, 6 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 13 points."
"The Clippers may need to change their defensive strategy. The Warriors have found a shooting rhythm on the outside."
"."
In the Clippers locker room, everyone looked serious. Coach De Nagro was also a little tangled in his heart. But thinking of Li Ze's data, he finally made up his mind and said:
"Don't worry about the Warriors' offense, stick to the defensive strategy in the first half, and the opponent's efficiency will definitely drop!"
"Kayce, master the rhythm of the game, we need to reduce mistakes."
Li Ze immediately nodded to show that there was no problem. The Clippers made 8 turnovers in the halftime. Tonight, Draymond Green clung to Jokic, causing Fatty Bai to make 3 turnovers in the halftime.
Although others were a little worried, the Warriors were getting more and more accurate, but no one dared to question the words of the head coach. In the end, veteran Barnes clapped his hands and encouraged:
"The Warriors' main lineup has played 21 minutes. With Kayce here, all we have to do is defend well. The victory belongs to us!"
Thinking of Li Ze's half-time performance, the atmosphere team also completely relaxed. It is not difficult for them to focus on one thing on the court.
The second half of the game is about to start, the Clippers serve from the bottom line, and in the Staples Arena, the live DJ starts to drive the rhythm:
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
Jokic sent the baseline ball, and after Li Ze received the ball, the two quickly passed the half court.
The Warriors really worked hard tonight. The starting lineup quickly replaced Bogut and Iguodala. The five small lineups grabbed the start and almost succeeded.
Iguodala didn't dare to be careless, and immediately chose to stick to the logo position.
In the first half, the Warriors' defense was overwhelmed by Li Ze. During the intermission, Steve Kerr also changed the Warriors' defensive strategy.
After Jokic's high pick-and-roll, he noticed that Green was double-teaming Li Ze immediately, so he simply faked the screen, hung up and immediately went down.
Under double-teaming, Li Ze, who was outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, threw the ball to Jokic. After receiving the ball near the free throw line, Harrison Barnes in the bottom corner on the right immediately shrank, helping to defend the ball. Fatty white.
The Warriors also changed their matchups on the defensive end. Clay defended in front of Harris, defended on the line, and relieved the pressure. Harrison Barnes took on the task of protecting the basket.
Still playing more and playing less, Jokic did not forcefully attack. He squirmed and broke through to attract the defense and then quickly threw the ball. Ingles in the right corner was unguarded, and he threw the ball as soon as he caught it!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Simple cooperation can easily score, Ingles bounced back to defend, and the Clippers team cheered loudly and happily.
At 61:61, the second half had just begun, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Curry quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and Li Ze noticed the position of the Warriors' defensive players behind him, and immediately knew that the opponent was using a double-screen tactic.
Curry on the right wing turned quickly, and after Green raised the screen, he moved laterally with the ball in his left hand.
Li Ze squeezed through the screen and continued to chase. Green immediately stood on the right flank and pulled Jokic's defense.
When approaching the top of the arc, Harrison Barnes also immediately raised the cover, hung up for a while and immediately shot out.
Failed to form the desired matchup, Curry, who had just arrived on the left flank, immediately threw the ball to Barnes at the top of the arc, who received the ball and immediately passed the ball laterally, quickly giving the ball to Green on the right flank.
Facing Jokic's defense, Green, who received the pass, simply broke through with the ball in his right hand. Although the fat white man slid desperately, Green broke through hard to near the paint area.
Curry on the left wing suddenly ran without the ball at this time. At the same time, Iguodala in the left corner moved quickly and made an upper screen to delay Li Ze.
Curry took this opportunity and immediately ran to the left corner. Green, who was breaking through, threw the ball accurately. When the ball arrived, Ingles, who switched defenses, was finally half a beat slower and failed to interfere with Curry. The corner made a three-pointer. Steady hit!
After completing the shot, Curry turned his head back to defend, and smiled confidently at the cameras on the sidelines.
"Shh!"
The Clippers fans didn't want to see Curry play X at all. The head coach De Nagro on the sidelines couldn't help complaining to the referee:
"This is definitely an illegal cover, you can't let this kind of attack go!"
The referee will naturally not give a response, and the current version supports this style of play.
The Warriors' double-teaming of Li Ze has reached the limit. Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, dribbles to the left flank. The Clippers' position is to clear the side, and Jokic also comes to the top of the arc.
Before Li Ze got close to the three-point line, Green simply gave up on Jokic, and went straight to Li Ze again, cooperating with Iguodala for a quick double-team.
Pass the ball to the fat man at the top of the arc again. After completing the pass, Li Ze pretends to move up the line, and then suddenly speeds up and runs back to cut in.
After Green and Iguodala came to their senses, they desperately pursued and defended, only to find that Li Ze accelerated and approached the paint area before flying into the air.
Jokic at the top of the arc threw the ball to the upper left of the basket, and the ball arrived. Li Ze caught the ball in the air, with his head flat, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!
"Boom!" The alley-catch dunk was successful!
In the Staples Arena, huge cheers erupted immediately, and Steve Kerr on the sidelines rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, switching seamlessly with the ball and without the ball, it was impossible to defend.
64:63, the Clippers are still clinging to the score.
"18 of 12, 4 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, Kayce has scored 30 points so far, this is really a terrifying efficiency!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan can't do it anymore. Li Ze almost depreciated his 50 points in this year's playoffs
"The Warriors were very efficient in the first half. Once the outside line is out of alignment, they are bound to be converted by the Clippers. Maybe they can increase some breakthroughs with the ball."
Chris Webber saw Clay on the left wing take the ball and throw it with a screen, and couldn't help but remind him.
The ball knocked out of the frame, and Li Ze predicted the ball's landing point, and immediately retreated into the paint area, received the long rebound, and then continued to accelerate with the ball in his right hand.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines kept loudly reminding the Warriors to retreat, and Clippers fans in the Staples Arena also began to cheer loudly.
Breaking through with the ball in the middle, dribbling across the center line, facing the delay of Iguodala's approach, Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly circled the ball behind his back, and accelerated again with the ball in his left hand.
Iguodala, who readjusted his defensive focus, completed his sliding step, and Li Ze took advantage of the trend to change direction and completely squeezed past the defense.
At this time, the Warriors had just completed their defensive positioning, and before they had time to make further double-teams, Li Ze, who was close to the top of the arc, held the ball with a large cross-step and pulled back.
Iguodala was completely blown away, stuck inside the three-point line, and had no time to make a defensive move. After watching Li Ze close the ball on the three-point line, he quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" A three-pointer was converted and scored!
At 64:66, the Clippers regained the lead.
Li Ze retreated quickly with a relaxed expression. Although he only rested for 3 minutes in the first half, his physical fitness was not affected in any way.
Li Ze has fully adapted to the use of super badges. Coupled with the increase in physical fitness, there is basically no burden to use them.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines felt a little helpless. After hitting the iron with a three-pointer, the long rebound was extremely easy for the Clippers to seize the opportunity to complete the counterattack, but the Warriors needed to shoot from the outside
I prayed in my heart that the players on the field would maintain the efficiency of the first half, but in the next three minutes or so, the Warriors coaching staff was half-hearted.
After Curry hit a three-pointer, he hit the iron for several consecutive rounds. On the Clippers side, Li Ze seized the opportunity to switch offenses, played several quick singles, and scored consecutively.
Perhaps because he no longer believed in his own touch, Curry simply circled the ball behind his back and then held the ball with his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.
The left wing cuts in, grabs half of his body, approaches the basket, and Curry takes advantage of the opportunity to throw a shot.
Just as the ball flew to the basket, Li Ze, who was chasing the room behind him, soared into the air and pinned the ball on the backboard!
Before he could get annoyed, Curry quickly followed his teammates back to the defense. On the right flank, Li Ze was close to the three-point line.
In a semi-converted attack, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand, suddenly raised his body's center of gravity, pretended to turn around, then accelerated suddenly, stopped and started quickly, and accelerated 45 degrees on the right side of Iguodala's defense.
Green had just settled down at the basket, and Li Ze was already close to the paint in the blink of an eye. He subconsciously jumped up to block the shot, and cooperated with Iguodala to complete the aerial interception.
On the upper right of the basket, Li Ze suddenly curled up in the air, then glided in the air, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, dodged the block from top to bottom, and finally hung Green's defense, and pulled the bar on the left bottom of the basket for a layup!
"squeak!"
Hearing the referee's whistle, Green jumped up excitedly after landing, spat out his braces, and complained loudly to the referee:
"I just touched him, it's totally normal confrontation!"
In the Staples Center, the large screen in the center of the venue was still playing Li Ze’s pull-bar layup repeatedly, and the Clippers fans cheered loudly again.
Steve Ballmer under the basketball stand threw his fists in celebration. The old man was excited by Li Ze's high score tonight.
75:83,第3节比赛还有3分46秒,快船队将分差扩大到了8分。
Everyone in the Warriors quickly pulled Green back. It would not be a wise choice to irritate the referee.
Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throw, Ingles was still grinning on the sidelines:
"Illegal cover-ups are so lucrative that someone keeps complaining like a clown!"
Green, who was full of anger, immediately responded loudly:
"Pay attention to your identity, what right do you have to talk trash to me!"
Ingalls didn't care, but taunted again:
"You should understand how you got your All-Star status? Without the Warriors, who would know you?"
The referee blew his whistle again and immediately warned the two of them verbally. Times have changed, and the new president doesn't like to see conflicts in the divisional finals.
Steve Kerr took the opportunity to replace the hard-hitting Curry and took Livingston, and Bogut also replaced the underperforming Harrison Barnes.
After Li Zejia made a free throw, the point difference also came to 9 points. Tucker replaced Reggie Bullock, and the Clippers continued to maintain an oppressive outside defense.
Bogut really helped the Warriors solve some offensive problems after his debut. He supported the free throw line at a high position, and Clay, who assisted a cross screen and then ran back, scored two points.
"Shhh!!"
Seeing the Warriors complete the score in the sports game, there was another burst of boos in the Staples Arena.
"With Bogut, there will definitely be some problems on the defensive end. This is not a good choice."
Reggie Miller saw Li Ze play a high pick-and-roll again after halftime, and immediately pointed out the Warriors' substitution.
Before the commentator Kevin Harlan had time to give his point of view, Li Ze used Jokic's high-quality screen to get rid of Iguodala's entanglement.
Facing the big delay, Bogut quickly in and out with his left hand, swayed right and left, took a big step forward, suddenly blasted the ball vigorously, and then retreated.
Bogut is still sliding to the right and back, and Li Ze has already made a quick jumper from beyond the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"Okay! That's my point too, Steve made an ill-advised substitution and Kayce will easily punish the Warriors big man."
Bogut helplessly spread his hands to Iguodala, expressing that he had tried his best. Li Ze's movements were fast and the shaking was large. Once he was shaken, he couldn't even make too many defensive moves.
Livingston tried to stabilize the Warriors' offensive rhythm, but his post-up mid-range fadeaway jumper hit the iron.
Seeing Li Ze receive the rebound, take the ball and rush forward, Green broke through the defense and ran directly.
Li Ze had already spotted Green's movement, and followed suit with heavy shoulders and swung elbows. The two collided, and Green was staggered by Li Ze, who took the initiative to force him, and almost fell to the street.
The referee hesitated, but still called the Warriors foul.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines immediately jumped up, looking very excited, gesticulating Li Ze's movements and complaining loudly to the line referee:
"This is an obvious elbow swing. Why did we call our foul?"
Obviously, in order to disrupt the Clippers' offensive rhythm, Green was about to step forward, stood up straight, heard the referee's whistle, and just wanted to rush to Li Ze's side, but was pushed by Tucker again without paying attention.
"Hey! Put away your silly little tricks!"
Tucker yelled at Green, and the referee blew his whistle continuously, and immediately stepped forward to separate the crowd.
The Clippers fans at the scene all booed loudly, the team is leading, and if they can watch a boxing match by the way, the tickets tonight will definitely be bloody!
Li Ze didn't look at Green at all, and walked slowly to the free throw line. He remembered the number of fouls committed by the Warriors.
Taking advantage of the free throw, Li Ze smiled and asked Ingles next to the paint area:
"Are we in double digits again?"
Ingalls leaned on his knees and replied with a smile:
"Two free throws, 77:89, just 12 points ahead!"
Everyone in the Warriors didn't make a sound, and Green wasn't in the mood to make trouble. The offense in this quarter was completely overwhelmed.
Free throws are points, and Steve Kerr turned to the bench and signaled Curry to come on.
In the last 2 minutes, Curry, who returned to the court, became invisible again. Iguodala's three-pointer and Bogut's straight score barely helped the Warriors bite the score.
With Li Ze making two consecutive pick-and-roll mid-range strong shots at the last moment of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at 3:81.
At 20:35 in a single quarter, the Clippers played a wave of reversal games.
"Kayce made 8 of 6 in the third quarter, 3 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 17 points in a single quarter. The Clippers' outside line also began to pick up. They insisted on changing defenses and finally received results."
The commentator Kevin Harlan didn't expect the brave Warriors to suddenly pull up in the halftime. At this time, he can only praise the Clippers' defense:
"5 of 1 in a single quarter, Curry only scored 5 points, Klay Thompson scored 6 of 2, and scored 9 points with free throws. It's a pity that others failed to come forward."
"If the Warriors lose G3, then the next game will be a battle of life and death!"
As soon as Reggie Miller finished speaking, Chris Webber on the side joked:
"Maybe the Warriors can complete the reversal again!"
"Come on man, Kayce is not Durant, he will not let go of such a good opportunity!"

新秀赛季打满82场,场均砍下18.3分10.5篮板2.0助攻0.7抢断1.7盖帽2.2失误的数据了。
Although not as amazing as Blake Griffin, the American sports media also praised the performance of the new Downs:
"Getting a double-double in his rookie season, Towns is fulfilling his talent, and the Timberwolves have a bright future!"
But when accepting the award, the new best rookie made a bold speech:
"I will not leave the Timberwolves. The current team has enough talent. We will become the next Thunder team."
"Kayce and KD have always been my idols, and I will win a championship for the Timberwolves like them!"
In high school, Mengxin Towns also interviewed Durant. Many young players liked the Thunder team very much, but this kind of speech made Jamie break his defense:
"These young players lack respect for veterans!"
Of course, the Comets also followed suit. As Li Ze’s influence grew, critics began to question Kobe’s high-level statistics, and new players no longer entered the league and became Mamba disciples.
Everything has changed. Li Ze's success has made young players more ambitious. At the same time, the new generation who have witnessed "brother basketball" is no longer easy to fool. The era of fooling players by painting cakes is gone forever.
The five players selected for the best rookie team also have a different style from previous years:
Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, Devin Booker, D'Angelo Russell, Jahlil Okafor.
Two guards, three centers, and big men occupy half of the best rookie team. Many ball critics believe that the era of strikers is about to pass!
However, such a point of view can only be entertained by professional football critics. Is the era of strikers over?
Li Ze, Kevin Durant, LeBron James are still unbeatable.
Although Durant has gone home to fish, but looking at the league's teams have turned into licking dogs, you know that the striker will never go out of style.
In the current NBA, the only one who has played against the trend is the Warriors. Stephen Curry has become a role model for many small players.
在昨晚结束的西部决赛G2的比赛中,绝境之下,库里出场42分钟,25中11,三分线外13中7,罚球10中9,怒砍38分5篮板4助攻1抢断4失误。
Although he was a little embarrassed after the game and lay down directly due to overdraft, many players were greatly encouraged by seeing Curry's performance:
"Small guards can beat Kayce-Li too!"
The Warriors team made 36 of 17 three-pointers, Harrison Barnes made 5 of 4 three-pointers outside the line, and Clay made 9 of 4 three-pointers. Under desperate circumstances, the Warriors collectively broke out.
In the TNT program, Curry was naturally followed by the madness, and the host Ernie Johnson even made fun of his old partner beside him:
"Steph Curry led the Warriors to win games with jump shots. This is the new era of basketball."
At this time, Charles Barkley forgot that he was not optimistic about the Warriors before, and showed a hard-core Yumi look, laughing and saying:
"This is the Warriors we expect. Curry can't stop him. He made the Clippers' defense pay the price!"
"When Harrison Barnes you can respond on the perimeter, no one beats this Warriors team."
Kenny Smith didn't expect this person to become a fool again, and also joked:
"Don't forget that the Warriors didn't win the game until the last moment. The Clippers did not perform well outside, with 24 of 9, but Kayce is still the most stable scoring point."
“28中19,三分线外9中4,罚球8中8,50分12篮板6助攻2抢断2失误,我相信回到主场后,Kayce依然会延续这样的表现。”
Mentioning Li Ze's data, Barkley rubbed his forehead, and the battery was out again.
40+ in the regular season and 50+ in the playoffs. No player in history has achieved such an outrageous scoring ability.
After this year's playoffs, Li Ze will set a bunch of outrageous records, all of which are unique in history. It can be expected that they will have to revolve around Li Ze again during the offseason
America's sports media has fully adapted to Li Ze's data. It only took more than half a month from the initial enthusiasm to the current habit.
O'Neal also doesn't think there is anything to brag about Li Ze's 50 points. The super center praised the Warriors and did not forget to belittle Green's performance:
"Curry assumed the responsibility of the leader, but the Warriors' interior defense has a big problem."
"Nikola Jokic has been able to get a steady 12+10 double-double in these two games. Draymond Green is not as tough as he says."
"Even if the Warriors make it to the Finals, facing the Cavaliers or the Raptors, their interior is still at a disadvantage."
The host Ernie Johnson corrected another sentence at this time:
"The Warriors also have a great rim-protecting center, but Kayce is unstoppable in the pick-and-roll, and he can easily punish opposing bigs, compared to LeBron's inconsistent mid-range."
Charles Barkley came to the spirit again at this time, and once again went crazy with the poisonous milk Cavaliers:
"I believe the Cavaliers will take their chances tonight and win two home games, just like LeBron James said, he will break the curse of Cleveland sports."
"."
The Clippers, who returned to Los Angeles on the morning of the 20th, were not in the mood to pay attention to the situation in the Eastern Conference finals. After more than three days of rest, they will face the Warriors at home.
In the case of grasping the initiative, the next two home games are very important. If the match point can be successfully obtained, then there is a high probability of ending the series in one fell swoop.
In the afternoon training session, head coach De Nagro was still giving Tobias Harris chicken soup for the soul:
"Don't worry about the defensive end, we can completely accept Curry's singles scoring after switching defenses."
"Harris, all you have to do is to ensure your offensive efficiency, and we all believe you can do this."
Entering the playoffs, the first round was 20+, and Harris' data in the semi-finals shrank a bit. This space-oriented power forward keeps a low profile off the court, and his presence on the court is not strong.
In the Western Conference finals, G1 quietly scored 18 points, and G2 also scored 15 points. The lack of aggressiveness is Harris' shortcoming, but it is still no problem to digest about 15 shots.
Harris enjoys his current tactical position very much. In this kind of daily training sessions, the coaching staff often tutors him individually.
Hearing the head coach's instructions, Harris, who was wearing a training suit, nodded happily, and promised with confidence:
"I will perform even better than in the last round. The Warriors' inside line cannot score strongly in the low post. In the next two games, I will find my form!"
Coach De Nagro patted the tool man on the shoulder again to show encouragement.
The only problem for the Clippers at present is that once the opponent double-teams Li Ze too early, they may not be able to come back after the ball is out.
Playing more and playing less is of course an opportunity, but not every player is as stable as Li Ze, and sometimes he still hits the iron when he is open.
The coaching staff hopes that Harris can finish efficiently. After all, the salary of 1600 million has to bear the responsibility. Fortunately, Jokic and Ingles can also handle the ball. Overall, there is not much pressure.
Li Ze is also giving Jokic a psychological massage. Every time he plays against the Warriors, the inside players will be punished badly. Under the existing rules, no one can guarantee that he can squeeze through the screen steadily.
"Don't care about the opponent's pick-and-roll offense. The main thing is to protect the basket and backboards. Some points must be given to the opponent. This is the NBA. Offense is always greater than defense."
Jokic knew that what Li Ze said made sense, but Fatty Bai also wanted to do his part. After all, the outside line was accommodating him throughout the season:
"I will try to maintain a good defensive center of gravity, I can do better!"
Li Ze nodded with a smile and continued to do warm-up exercises. Instead of expecting the fat man to suddenly become a master of pick-and-roll defense, it is better to pray that Ingles and Reggie Bullock can make more three-pointers.
Coach De Nagro's strongest tactics are becoming more and more proficient. Li Ze doesn't care about these details, but other main players are inevitably affected.
Just thinking about the playing time of the Warriors' starting lineup, Li Ze still believes that the Clippers have a big advantage:
"The playoffs are all about physical fitness, and the Clippers have already won!"
After more than three days of rest, everyone in the Warriors can breathe a sigh of relief. Steve Kerr was still putting pressure on the referee when he was interviewed:
"Curry has been pulled and defended many times. I hope the referees in the league can respect Curry's performance!"
Coach De Nagro also accepted an interview with Fox Sports after the Clippers finished their daily training in the evening, expressing his views by the way:
"The most important thing is that the whistle scale is consistent. I don't want to discuss the Warriors' screen problem, but I believe the referee will make the right call."
The war of words between the two sides is still friendly. After all, the two teams are not mortal enemies. The Warriors can be regarded as challengers, and they can’t stand up to the Dynasty team that has won 73 victories.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals on the night of the 20th, the Cavaliers once again showed their dominance!
At 89:108, the Cavaliers at home easily won the Raptors again, and the series score became 2:0.
勒布朗-詹姆斯出场37分钟,13中7,罚球17中9,高效砍下23分11篮板11助攻3抢断2失误的三双数据;
Irving scored 22 of 12 and scored a team-high 26 points. Love scored 8 of 5 and also scored 19 points. The trio performed very efficiently.
Kyle Lowry still didn't get rid of the "trash brother" buff, 14 of 4, 8 of 1 from the three-point line, and scored 10 points.
Interestingly, as the playoffs progressed, the remaining four teams all stretched their three-pointers.
Tonight, the Raptors are 33-of-9 from outside, and the Cavaliers are 21-of-7 from outside. They are basically on the same level as the Clippers. At present, only the Warriors have exploded in G2.
Obviously, under the high-intensity defense, the middle distance and the basket are still the mainstream scoring methods in the current league. After the game, many ball critics also tweeted and sighed:
"Compared to the three-point shot, the stable mid-range will never go out of fashion!"
There was no game on May 5, and the NBA announced the best defensive lineup for the 21-15 season by the way:
The five players in the best defensive team are:
Kawhi Leonard, Li Ze, Draymond Green, DeAndre Jordan, Avery Bradley;
The five best defensive second team players are:
Paul Millsap, Paul George, Hassan Whiteside, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler.
After the All-Defensive Team was announced, many Amelia fans noticed that Chris Paul was missing this year.
The Rockets failed to make it to the playoffs, and their impression points were stretched to the extreme. Chairman Cannon has recently been autistic and has not accepted any interviews from media reporters.
It took Paul only one season from the champion defender of the 180 club to the deceptive core. The contrast was so great that many fans could not accept it.
Unsurprisingly, after the announcement of the best defensive team, fans of Paul and fans of Harden broke out again. Both sides complained to each other, thinking that the other side delayed their own stars.
However, most American fans still discuss the possibility of Durant joining the Clippers in the offseason on Reddit:
"KD and Kayce teamed up, and the Clippers have the ability to directly eat his maximum salary contract during the offseason. This is definitely the most correct choice."
"If KD joins the Clippers, Kayce's number of championships will surpass Bill Russell and become the undisputed GOAT in NBA history!"
"Kayce is now GOAT. Which star in history have you seen can score as steadily as him? He has surpassed Michael Jordan."
"Why did KD join the Clippers? Partnering with Kayce can't improve his historical status. Joining the Lakers is the most correct choice."
"The Celtics welcome KD. Griffin will return from injury next season. I am optimistic about this combination. I swear, no one dares to underestimate us."
"We can try to trade Leonard, KD+Aldridge, under the guidance of Popovich, the Spurs will return to the ranks of the championship team."
"I'm fed up with the so-called brother basketball. KD should try to beat Kayce instead of joining him. LeBron James' decision back then was too bad."
"Maybe KD can join the Warriors. Believe me, this will make the Warriors the strongest offensive team in history."
"That would definitely be a bad decision. The league can award the Warriors directly, four All-Stars? The Warriors can't afford this contract right now."
"."
Under the existing conditions, if you want to continue to compete for the championship, joining the Clippers is the best choice.
Amerika's football critics have recently asked the league to prevent this transaction from happening. Many people are tired of aesthetics, and they don't want to see Li Ze continue to win the championship.
This topic is becoming more and more popular, and the degree of discussion has even surpassed the division finals. After all, Li Ze and Durant teamed up, and that would really be the finale.
Everyone in the Warriors felt that they were ignored. No one discussed the 73 wins, and no one discussed the difficult tie-breaker in the Western Conference semifinals.
On the morning of the 22nd, the Warriors set off for Los Angeles, and they will usher in the crucial G3 tomorrow night.
Draymond Green was uncharacteristically silent on the plane.
G2的比赛中,9中2,只拿到9分12篮板3助攻1盖帽2失误的数据,这样的表现自然不符合格林的预期。
But the Clippers' defensive strategy made him very uncomfortable. Green was used to the days when Curry was double-teamed and he dominated the ball.
Steve Kerr naturally saw Green's state and took the initiative to appease the team's defensive core:
"Don't worry about offense, you're the defensive core of this team right now, do your job and we'll win the series."
Draymond Green finally just nodded, hugging the thigh is really not ashamed.
The coaching staff of the Warriors also knew the internal situation of the team. Li Ze scored steadily and had almost become a nightmare for everyone. The happy atmosphere in the past had completely disappeared.
On the night of the 22nd, the Cavaliers once again threw out ridiculous data on the perimeter.
41 of 14 from beyond the three-point line, and JR-Smith shot 15 times from beyond the three-point line alone.
It's just that the crazy three-point shooting didn't let them continue to win. 84:99, the Raptors returned to the home court and finally defeated their opponents and pulled back a victory.
LeBron James played 41 minutes, scored 17 of 9 and scored a team-high 24 points for the Cavaliers.
In the away game, Irving scored 19 of 3 points and scored 13 points. Love scored 9 of 1 points and scored 3 points. The two of them stretched at the same time, which is relatively rare.
At the press conference after the game, both DeRozan and Lowry received crazy praise from the sports media.
The two scored 52 points together, playing the best performance in the current series.
On May 5, the NBA officially announced the best lineup for the 23-15 season:
The top 5 players in the first team are:
Lee Ze, Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, DeMarcus Cousins;
The five best second team players are:
Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Draymond Green, LaMarcus Aldridge, Klay Thompson;
The five players in the best three teams are:
Andre Drummond, Paul George, Damian Lillard, Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler.
After the announcement of the best lineup, each team released data posters for their star players.
Three of the Warriors were selected to the best lineup, which immediately made many fans feel elated, which is in line with the treatment of a 73-win team!
America's ball critics saw that the five players in the best team realized that the current NBA league is still dominated by big strikers.
Except for Curry, there are 4 players left, all of whom are over 2 meters tall.
It's just that when Durant might join the Clippers during the offseason, a large number of ball critics began to appeal on social media:
"No one wants to see two scoring champions join forces. If the league wants to develop healthily, it should keep all teams competitive!"
"."
On the night of the 23rd, the three-man team of the Warriors was in good spirits when they had a happy event. In addition, after three days of rest, their physical condition has also adjusted.
At 61:58, at the end of the half, the Warriors led by just 3 points.
Taking advantage of the intermission, in the TNT commentary booth, the commentator Kevin Harlan calmed down and briefly summarized the halftime game:
"The Warriors were 21-for-11 from beyond the arc and shot 52.4 percent from beyond the arc. That's an unbelievable performance."
"Klay Thompson must be praised. He is definitely a big-time player. He made 12 of 8 in the half, 8 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 26 points efficiently!"
Reggie Miller didn't expect the Warriors to shoot three-pointers like rain tonight and shoot so accurately:
"Curry's performance was also impressive. Under Kayce's pursuit, he made 8 of 4 in the half, 6 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 13 points."
"The Clippers may need to change their defensive strategy. The Warriors have found a shooting rhythm on the outside."
"."
In the Clippers locker room, everyone looked serious. Coach De Nagro was also a little tangled in his heart. But thinking of Li Ze's data, he finally made up his mind and said:
"Don't worry about the Warriors' offense, stick to the defensive strategy in the first half, and the opponent's efficiency will definitely drop!"
"Kayce, master the rhythm of the game, we need to reduce mistakes."
Li Ze immediately nodded to show that there was no problem. The Clippers made 8 turnovers in the halftime. Tonight, Draymond Green clung to Jokic, causing Fatty Bai to make 3 turnovers in the halftime.
Although others were a little worried, the Warriors were getting more and more accurate, but no one dared to question the words of the head coach. In the end, veteran Barnes clapped his hands and encouraged:
"The Warriors' main lineup has played 21 minutes. With Kayce here, all we have to do is defend well. The victory belongs to us!"
Thinking of Li Ze's half-time performance, the atmosphere team also completely relaxed. It is not difficult for them to focus on one thing on the court.
The second half of the game is about to start, the Clippers serve from the bottom line, and in the Staples Arena, the live DJ starts to drive the rhythm:
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
Jokic sent the baseline ball, and after Li Ze received the ball, the two quickly passed the half court.
The Warriors really worked hard tonight. The starting lineup quickly replaced Bogut and Iguodala. The five small lineups grabbed the start and almost succeeded.
Iguodala didn't dare to be careless, and immediately chose to stick to the logo position.
In the first half, the Warriors' defense was overwhelmed by Li Ze. During the intermission, Steve Kerr also changed the Warriors' defensive strategy.
After Jokic's high pick-and-roll, he noticed that Green was double-teaming Li Ze immediately, so he simply faked the screen, hung up and immediately went down.
Under double-teaming, Li Ze, who was outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, threw the ball to Jokic. After receiving the ball near the free throw line, Harrison Barnes in the bottom corner on the right immediately shrank, helping to defend the ball. Fatty white.
The Warriors also changed their matchups on the defensive end. Clay defended in front of Harris, defended on the line, and relieved the pressure. Harrison Barnes took on the task of protecting the basket.
Still playing more and playing less, Jokic did not forcefully attack. He squirmed and broke through to attract the defense and then quickly threw the ball. Ingles in the right corner was unguarded, and he threw the ball as soon as he caught it!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Simple cooperation can easily score, Ingles bounced back to defend, and the Clippers team cheered loudly and happily.
At 61:61, the second half had just begun, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Curry quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and Li Ze noticed the position of the Warriors' defensive players behind him, and immediately knew that the opponent was using a double-screen tactic.
Curry on the right wing turned quickly, and after Green raised the screen, he moved laterally with the ball in his left hand.
Li Ze squeezed through the screen and continued to chase. Green immediately stood on the right flank and pulled Jokic's defense.
When approaching the top of the arc, Harrison Barnes also immediately raised the cover, hung up for a while and immediately shot out.
Failed to form the desired matchup, Curry, who had just arrived on the left flank, immediately threw the ball to Barnes at the top of the arc, who received the ball and immediately passed the ball laterally, quickly giving the ball to Green on the right flank.
Facing Jokic's defense, Green, who received the pass, simply broke through with the ball in his right hand. Although the fat white man slid desperately, Green broke through hard to near the paint area.
Curry on the left wing suddenly ran without the ball at this time. At the same time, Iguodala in the left corner moved quickly and made an upper screen to delay Li Ze.
Curry took this opportunity and immediately ran to the left corner. Green, who was breaking through, threw the ball accurately. When the ball arrived, Ingles, who switched defenses, was finally half a beat slower and failed to interfere with Curry. The corner made a three-pointer. Steady hit!
After completing the shot, Curry turned his head back to defend, and smiled confidently at the cameras on the sidelines.
"Shh!"
The Clippers fans didn't want to see Curry play X at all. The head coach De Nagro on the sidelines couldn't help complaining to the referee:
"This is definitely an illegal cover, you can't let this kind of attack go!"
The referee will naturally not give a response, and the current version supports this style of play.
The Warriors' double-teaming of Li Ze has reached the limit. Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, dribbles to the left flank. The Clippers' position is to clear the side, and Jokic also comes to the top of the arc.
Before Li Ze got close to the three-point line, Green simply gave up on Jokic, and went straight to Li Ze again, cooperating with Iguodala for a quick double-team.
Pass the ball to the fat man at the top of the arc again. After completing the pass, Li Ze pretends to move up the line, and then suddenly speeds up and runs back to cut in.
After Green and Iguodala came to their senses, they desperately pursued and defended, only to find that Li Ze accelerated and approached the paint area before flying into the air.
Jokic at the top of the arc threw the ball to the upper left of the basket, and the ball arrived. Li Ze caught the ball in the air, with his head flat, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!
"Boom!" The alley-catch dunk was successful!
In the Staples Arena, huge cheers erupted immediately, and Steve Kerr on the sidelines rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, switching seamlessly with the ball and without the ball, it was impossible to defend.
64:63, the Clippers are still clinging to the score.
"18 of 12, 4 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, Kayce has scored 30 points so far, this is really a terrifying efficiency!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan can't do it anymore. Li Ze almost depreciated his 50 points in this year's playoffs
"The Warriors were very efficient in the first half. Once the outside line is out of alignment, they are bound to be converted by the Clippers. Maybe they can increase some breakthroughs with the ball."
Chris Webber saw Clay on the left wing take the ball and throw it with a screen, and couldn't help but remind him.
The ball knocked out of the frame, and Li Ze predicted the ball's landing point, and immediately retreated into the paint area, received the long rebound, and then continued to accelerate with the ball in his right hand.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines kept loudly reminding the Warriors to retreat, and Clippers fans in the Staples Arena also began to cheer loudly.
Breaking through with the ball in the middle, dribbling across the center line, facing the delay of Iguodala's approach, Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly circled the ball behind his back, and accelerated again with the ball in his left hand.
Iguodala, who readjusted his defensive focus, completed his sliding step, and Li Ze took advantage of the trend to change direction and completely squeezed past the defense.
At this time, the Warriors had just completed their defensive positioning, and before they had time to make further double-teams, Li Ze, who was close to the top of the arc, held the ball with a large cross-step and pulled back.
Iguodala was completely blown away, stuck inside the three-point line, and had no time to make a defensive move. After watching Li Ze close the ball on the three-point line, he quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" A three-pointer was converted and scored!
At 64:66, the Clippers regained the lead.
Li Ze retreated quickly with a relaxed expression. Although he only rested for 3 minutes in the first half, his physical fitness was not affected in any way.
Li Ze has fully adapted to the use of super badges. Coupled with the increase in physical fitness, there is basically no burden to use them.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines felt a little helpless. After hitting the iron with a three-pointer, the long rebound was extremely easy for the Clippers to seize the opportunity to complete the counterattack, but the Warriors needed to shoot from the outside
I prayed in my heart that the players on the field would maintain the efficiency of the first half, but in the next three minutes or so, the Warriors coaching staff was half-hearted.
After Curry hit a three-pointer, he hit the iron for several consecutive rounds. On the Clippers side, Li Ze seized the opportunity to switch offenses, played several quick singles, and scored consecutively.
Perhaps because he no longer believed in his own touch, Curry simply circled the ball behind his back and then held the ball with his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough.
The left wing cuts in, grabs half of his body, approaches the basket, and Curry takes advantage of the opportunity to throw a shot.
Just as the ball flew to the basket, Li Ze, who was chasing the room behind him, soared into the air and pinned the ball on the backboard!
Before he could get annoyed, Curry quickly followed his teammates back to the defense. On the right flank, Li Ze was close to the three-point line.
In a semi-converted attack, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand, suddenly raised his body's center of gravity, pretended to turn around, then accelerated suddenly, stopped and started quickly, and accelerated 45 degrees on the right side of Iguodala's defense.
Green had just settled down at the basket, and Li Ze was already close to the paint in the blink of an eye. He subconsciously jumped up to block the shot, and cooperated with Iguodala to complete the aerial interception.
On the upper right of the basket, Li Ze suddenly curled up in the air, then glided in the air, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, dodged the block from top to bottom, and finally hung Green's defense, and pulled the bar on the left bottom of the basket for a layup!
"squeak!"
Hearing the referee's whistle, Green jumped up excitedly after landing, spat out his braces, and complained loudly to the referee:
"I just touched him, it's totally normal confrontation!"
In the Staples Center, the large screen in the center of the venue was still playing Li Ze’s pull-bar layup repeatedly, and the Clippers fans cheered loudly again.
Steve Ballmer under the basketball stand threw his fists in celebration. The old man was excited by Li Ze's high score tonight.
75:83,第3节比赛还有3分46秒,快船队将分差扩大到了8分。
Everyone in the Warriors quickly pulled Green back. It would not be a wise choice to irritate the referee.
Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throw, Ingles was still grinning on the sidelines:
"Illegal cover-ups are so lucrative that someone keeps complaining like a clown!"
Green, who was full of anger, immediately responded loudly:
"Pay attention to your identity, what right do you have to talk trash to me!"
Ingalls didn't care, but taunted again:
"You should understand how you got your All-Star status? Without the Warriors, who would know you?"
The referee blew his whistle again and immediately warned the two of them verbally. Times have changed, and the new president doesn't like to see conflicts in the divisional finals.
Steve Kerr took the opportunity to replace the hard-hitting Curry and took Livingston, and Bogut also replaced the underperforming Harrison Barnes.
After Li Zejia made a free throw, the point difference also came to 9 points. Tucker replaced Reggie Bullock, and the Clippers continued to maintain an oppressive outside defense.
Bogut really helped the Warriors solve some offensive problems after his debut. He supported the free throw line at a high position, and Clay, who assisted a cross screen and then ran back, scored two points.
"Shhh!!"
Seeing the Warriors complete the score in the sports game, there was another burst of boos in the Staples Arena.
"With Bogut, there will definitely be some problems on the defensive end. This is not a good choice."
Reggie Miller saw Li Ze play a high pick-and-roll again after halftime, and immediately pointed out the Warriors' substitution.
Before the commentator Kevin Harlan had time to give his point of view, Li Ze used Jokic's high-quality screen to get rid of Iguodala's entanglement.
Facing the big delay, Bogut quickly in and out with his left hand, swayed right and left, took a big step forward, suddenly blasted the ball vigorously, and then retreated.
Bogut is still sliding to the right and back, and Li Ze has already made a quick jumper from beyond the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"Okay! That's my point too, Steve made an ill-advised substitution and Kayce will easily punish the Warriors big man."
Bogut helplessly spread his hands to Iguodala, expressing that he had tried his best. Li Ze's movements were fast and the shaking was large. Once he was shaken, he couldn't even make too many defensive moves.
Livingston tried to stabilize the Warriors' offensive rhythm, but his post-up mid-range fadeaway jumper hit the iron.
Seeing Li Ze receive the rebound, take the ball and rush forward, Green broke through the defense and ran directly.
Li Ze had already spotted Green's movement, and followed suit with heavy shoulders and swung elbows. The two collided, and Green was staggered by Li Ze, who took the initiative to force him, and almost fell to the street.
The referee hesitated, but still called the Warriors foul.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines immediately jumped up, looking very excited, gesticulating Li Ze's movements and complaining loudly to the line referee:
"This is an obvious elbow swing. Why did we call our foul?"
Obviously, in order to disrupt the Clippers' offensive rhythm, Green was about to step forward, stood up straight, heard the referee's whistle, and just wanted to rush to Li Ze's side, but was pushed by Tucker again without paying attention.
"Hey! Put away your silly little tricks!"
Tucker yelled at Green, and the referee blew his whistle continuously, and immediately stepped forward to separate the crowd.
The Clippers fans at the scene all booed loudly, the team is leading, and if they can watch a boxing match by the way, the tickets tonight will definitely be bloody!
Li Ze didn't look at Green at all, and walked slowly to the free throw line. He remembered the number of fouls committed by the Warriors.
Taking advantage of the free throw, Li Ze smiled and asked Ingles next to the paint area:
"Are we in double digits again?"
Ingalls leaned on his knees and replied with a smile:
"Two free throws, 77:89, just 12 points ahead!"
Everyone in the Warriors didn't make a sound, and Green wasn't in the mood to make trouble. The offense in this quarter was completely overwhelmed.
Free throws are points, and Steve Kerr turned to the bench and signaled Curry to come on.
In the last 2 minutes, Curry, who returned to the court, became invisible again. Iguodala's three-pointer and Bogut's straight score barely helped the Warriors bite the score.
With Li Ze making two consecutive pick-and-roll mid-range strong shots at the last moment of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at 3:81.
At 20:35 in a single quarter, the Clippers played a wave of reversal games.
"Kayce made 8 of 6 in the third quarter, 3 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 17 points in a single quarter. The Clippers' outside line also began to pick up. They insisted on changing defenses and finally received results."
The commentator Kevin Harlan didn't expect the brave Warriors to suddenly pull up in the halftime. At this time, he can only praise the Clippers' defense:
"5 of 1 in a single quarter, Curry only scored 5 points, Klay Thompson scored 6 of 2, and scored 9 points with free throws. It's a pity that others failed to come forward."
"If the Warriors lose G3, then the next game will be a battle of life and death!"
As soon as Reggie Miller finished speaking, Chris Webber on the side joked:
"Maybe the Warriors can complete the reversal again!"
"Come on man, Kayce is not Durant, he will not let go of such a good opportunity!"
