The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 402 Exclusive records
Chapter 402 Exclusive Record (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
In the 15-16 season, the Warriors were able to achieve 73 wins, tying the best record in history set by the Clippers last season, relying on the movement of the ball, fast-paced offense and historical three-point shooting.
A large number of off-ball cuts and outrageous conversion three-pointers can be regarded as the Warriors' iconic offense.
In contrast, the Clippers have been mediocre this year. Most critics only remember that Li Ze averaged 40+ triple-doubles in the regular season, and they didn't care about the Clippers' lineup structure.
Compared with the three All-Stars of the Warriors, the Clippers have dim stars and their talents are not outstanding.
Clippers fans even nicknamed Jokic, Ingles, Reggie Bullock and others-"Mediocre".
"Mediocre" also includes Evan Turner and PJ Tucker on the bench. Plumlee often receives empty picks in the regular season, so this nickname did not fall on him.
Gallinari was jokingly called the shrunken version of Durant. Unfortunately, this man was a bit glassy and didn't make it to the playoffs. After Tobias Harris came to the team, he couldn't change this situation. "Mediocre" There is one more member.
Although they have a record of 68 wins, most critics don't bother to analyze the other Clippers players, which is really mediocre
After detailed analysis by Steve Kerr and the Warriors coaching staff, they found that the Clippers were better than they had imagined, with a height of 2 meters and an average shooting percentage of 37.6% from outside the three-point line.
Except for Evan Turner's refusal to shoot, Ingles, Reggie Bullock, and PJ Tucker can all produce three-pointers and contribute qualified defense.
The defense of the three has its own characteristics. Ingles's lateral speed is a bit stretched, but there are many small moves. Brock mostly leads the defense of small guards, while Tucker can switch to multiple positions.
In the battle of Tianwangshan in the Western Conference Finals, the key game, the Warriors did not attack conservatively. Steve Kerr simply reduced the rotation, continued to speed up, and tried his best to grab the start.
With 2 minutes and 31 seconds left in the first quarter, the Warriors' offense became more resolute, almost to the point of blindly throwing chickens.
Curry dribbled across the half court, and Clay immediately started in the left corner. With the help of Draymond Green's upper screen, he quickly came to the left wing outside the three-point line to receive the ball.
Reggie Bullock's chasing defense was simply pushed away by Green, and Jokic was forced to defend. As a result, Clay received a pass from Curry at the top of the arc, did not make adjustments, and threw the ball from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans cheered crazily. Although they had hit the iron before, as long as they made a three-pointer, everyone felt comfortable.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
The DJ shouted Klay Thompson's name loudly, and then led the fans to keep shouting.
More than 1 fans broke out and became the best sixth man of the Warriors. The shouts of the fans can always inspire the morale of the players.
Green, who played well in the last game, was very active tonight. He shouted at his teammates when he retreated, and immediately signaled Curry to go to the bottom corner to smoke.
For the Warriors, the good news is that Li Ze will not deliberately play the pick-and-roll on Curry's side. The bad news is that whoever defends Li Ze from the five players on the field has the same effect.
Li Ze and Jokic, who are holding the ball in their right hand, came to the half court together, and Iguodala no longer had a brainless defense. He was beaten by mid-range shots in the previous few games.
Noticing that Jokic was standing at the top of the arc to the left of Li Ze, Iguodala hurried forward and took two steps, preparing to squeeze through the cover.
Green was still loudly reminding Harrison Barnes to prepare to shrink, but Li Ze, who was at the top of the arc, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, swayed his body to the left, quickly in and out with his right hand, and then accelerated with all his strength.
Iguodala's defense was slightly taken aback, and then he completely lost his defensive position. It was too late to slide, and Li Ze rushed into the three-point line with a simple misleading change of direction.
Green reacted the fastest, and immediately blocked Li Ze's breakthrough route with a sliding step. Li Ze's right hand was in and out again at the free throw line. After changing the rhythm, he was half a body ahead of Green in an instant.
Stepping up to take off, Li Ze leaned forward, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, carried Green on his shoulders, and completed the basket pick!
The take-off position was too far away, so Green could not adjust his pace in time and pulled subconsciously. As a result, he only got Li Ze's jersey, and finally watched the ball hit the board and enter the basket.
"squeak!"
The referee will not let go of such an obvious foul action when the ball goes into the whistle.
After landing, Green opened his mouth, but he couldn't complain in the end. He was extremely depressed. This was an exaggerated impact, which reminded him of the turtle in the Western Conference semifinals.
Li Ze walked to the free throw line, and the Oracle Arena was booed again. No matter how exaggerated the Warriors hit a three-pointer, the Clippers were stable +2 in most rounds.
On the sidelines, head coach Denagro looked serious. In this game, the Warriors continued the strategy of G4 and increased Green's aggressiveness. All offenses were aimed at Jokic on the court.
Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throw, head coach De Nagro simply took Tucker and Evan Turner, and replaced Jokic and Reggie Bullock.
Without a center, the Clippers also became a small lineup of 5, and Harris played at the 5th position.
"This is really a bold substitution adjustment. The big man was attacked frequently on the court, and the Clippers were forced to change the lineup."
The commentator Mike Brin really didn't expect the Clippers to change so simply, but Jeff Van Gundy felt that this adjustment was a bit late:
"The Clippers should adjust their lineup earlier. At present, the Warriors have found the feeling of outside shooting. This is definitely not good news."
With Li Zejia's free throw, the score came to 26:28, and the Warriors still led by 2 points.
Steve Kerr did not make substitution adjustments, and Speights, Barbosa, and Varejao couldn't keep up with the rhythm. At most, he changed Livingston.
But the coaching staff plans to beat the main force tonight. Curry is currently 4 of 2 and scored 6 points.
After Evan Turner came on the field, he was responsible for marking Iguodala, Ingles switched to Harrison Barnes, Harris followed Green, and Tucker was in charge of Clay.
Switching defense at any time made the Warriors' offense a little uncomfortable. Without Jokic, the Clippers would switch most of the screens. Only Li Ze still chased Curry.
After turning around, Curry failed to get a mobile phone opportunity. In this quarter, all his points came from switching offenses. At this time, he was caught by Li Ze's right corner and smoked.
Harrison Barnes tried to hit Ingles with a low body. After Green sent a pass at the top of the arc, Harrison Barnes immediately hit back.
Amidst the booing of the fans at the scene, Harrison Barnes finally turned over and made a fadeaway jumper in the left block!
"state"
The moment the rebound popped up, Tucker easily protected the backcourt rebound, and the Warriors retreated quickly.
Ingle received the rebound and gave the ball to Evan Turner immediately, and the Clippers immediately accelerated.
There was no more white fat, and 5 people rushed across the half court at the same time. Curry refused to shoot Evan Turner. Although the two were both guards, Curry was a circle smaller.
Green saw Harris run directly to the right near the baseline and immediately realized that the Clippers wanted to play low.
Both sides are very aware of the opponent's tactical intentions. Seeing Li Ze in the left block position and asking for the ball, Green reminded Curry loudly:
"Shrink the defense!"
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The huge defensive cheers at the scene prevented Curry from hearing the prompt, and Iguodala suddenly half-circled forward to defend, but unexpectedly, Li Ze turned around and swiped into the inside line all at once.
The defense lost its position, and Evan Turner at the top of the arc immediately threw the ball to the upper left of the basket.
Li Ze, who completed the alley-oop dunk, gave Evan Turner a thumbs up immediately after landing. After connecting the lineup, he played the No. 2 position again.
At this time, Evan Turner and Ingles are the organizers of the team. The Clippers' tactics are still simple and rough, and they continue to let Li Ze receive the ball.
Green patted the ball angrily. Although he was aware of the Clippers' offensive routine, he just couldn't prevent it.
Curry should double-team immediately, but there is a problem with his thigh, and Green dare not blame him.
In the last more than a minute, both sides started to run, and the offensive rhythm accelerated. It was originally the rhythm of the Warriors, but two reverse running cuts were made, and Iguodala and Barnes failed to finish.
After Harris hit the iron in the middle distance, Li Ze's drifting backward jumper in the right block also followed. Harrison Barnes, who shrank to the basket, struggled to protect the backcourt rebound, and found Clay who was fast down with a pass.
There was not much time left in the first quarter. Clay rushed with the ball at this time, holding the ball in his right hand against Tucker's defense and going straight to the basket.
Unable to take advantage of the trend to complete the layup, Clay was oppressed by Tucker and could only slow down. He immediately turned his back to the right block, and finally broke through to the right near the bottom line and had no choice but to stop the ball.
The position was too deep, Tucker began to interfere, and Clay immediately threw the ball to Curry on the right wing outside the three-point line.
The pass was too strong and the intention was particularly obvious. Li Ze rushed in front of Curry, jumped high and blocked the ball.
Sensing that Curry behind him had already stuck up, Li Ze took the ball forward after landing, turned around deftly with Curry, threw away the defense, grabbed the ball and rushed.
At the end of the first quarter, the offensive and defensive positions were changed. The boos in the Oracle Arena could not stop Li Ze from counterattacking. Green, who had just passed halftime, could only grit his teeth and speed up his defense.
Curry also chased after Li Ze. Li Ze, who was close to the basket, took off with both feet.
"Boom! Squeak!"
The ferocious dunk caused the basket to explode. Under the impact of Li Ze, Green completely lost his center of gravity after hitting his arm, and fell headlong to the floor after landing.
Green, who fell hard, heard the referee's whistle and was so angry that he slammed the floor twice.
The teammate who was driven back pulled up and saw Li Ze smiling and shaking his head and walking towards the free throw line. Green, who was above him, wanted to go forward to argue, but was immediately stopped by Iguodala.
Of course, the Warriors coaching staff knew that Green’s malicious foul had accumulated 3 points. These games have repeatedly emphasized not to be impulsive. Iguodala reminded loudly:
"The first quarter is over soon, don't do any more stupid things!"
Ingalls, who was leaning on his knees, started to fight again at this time:
"Show off your last performance and play like a true All-Star!"
This sentence stimulated Green again. Many football critics said that he hugged his thighs. Although this is true, he still lost face when he was said in person:
"Shet! Show respect"
As soon as Green finished speaking, the line referee at the bottom line immediately blew his whistle continuously, and immediately stepped forward, lying between the two of them, focusing on the battle. Currently, the whistle is relatively strict.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines was afraid that his defensive core would be sent off accidentally, so he quickly reminded his players to calm down.
In contrast, everyone on the Clippers is very relaxed, and the job of the role players on the court is to cast the ball and defend with all their strength.
Ingles even waved to the fans in the front row in a mood. Some irritable fans did a lot of output tonight.
Li Ze made another penalty and the score came to 31:28. The Clippers completed the overtake at the end of the first quarter.
At the last moment, Curry missed a long three-pointer, and the Warriors fans on the scene were depressed for a while.
"The first quarter of the game was very exciting. The Warriors blossomed more, and the Clippers relied on Kayce's performance to complete the overtake."
“单节10中7，三分线外3中1，罚球4中4，Kayce首节就砍下了19分3篮板2助攻1抢断的数据！”
The commentator Mike Breen was also taken aback when he saw the technical statistics, and the number of Li Ze's shots increased again.
Mark Jackson was a little worried about the outside line of the Warriors. Although the commentary should be neutral, he himself was somewhat biased towards the Warriors:
"Steve should let Curry rest for a few minutes. I don't want to see the fourth quarter of the game again, and the Warriors' shooting percentage suddenly drops."
Jeff Van Gundy was more concerned about the Warriors' performance from beyond the arc tonight:
"11 of 4 in a single quarter. The Warriors' outside three-pointers are not ideal. I think they should hit the ball more to the basket."
Steve Kerr picked up Bogut again in the second quarter, while Green, Klay, Harrison Barnes continued to play, and Livingston replaced Curry.
For the Clippers, head coach De Nagro took Jokic early, plus Evan Turner, Reggie Bullock, Crawford, and Tucker, and became a big four again. Small lineup.
The Warriors took the lead in attacking, Clay first ran without the ball, received a pass from a high position in the paint to support Bogut, and scored two points from mid-range.
In the Oracle Arena, the live DJ once again mobilized the audience's emotions and continued to cheer for the Warriors. The Clippers only played for 2 minutes and 32 seconds with this lineup, but the Warriors overtook it by 3 points.
At 34:37, Clay shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line, and coach De Nagro immediately requested a timeout.
Li Ze stood up and bumped fists with his teammates who walked to the sidelines. The top of the arc was a long-distance three-pointer, and he made all the throws. This is the Warriors' offense.
After all, Crawford is still old, and the defensive end has been targeted badly. The Warriors' breakthroughs and points were played from him twice.
"The game is handed over to me, remember to cheer for me!"
Back on the bench, hearing Li Ze's teasing voice, Crawford smiled and bumped his fists. Although it was the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the veterans were not nervous. They had experienced too many intense and intense games in the past few years.
Of course, part of the reason is that Curry has a baby face. Compared with the Heat during the Big Three period, everyone feels that the jump shot team is not terrible.
After seeing more of Li Ze's performance, Curry became mediocre.
The Clippers regained their main lineup, Tucker replaced Reggie Bullock, and Steve Kerr knew that Li Ze would definitely play, and he did not hesitate to replace Curry.
Bogut stayed on the field, and Harrison Barnes, who performed poorly in the first quarter, sat on the bench.
After Li Ze came on the field, the Clippers' first offense simply played a low-post tactic.
After halftime, Li Ze immediately gave the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc, and Ingles on the left flank immediately came to the top of the arc to catch the ball.
At the same time, Tucker in the right bottom corner quickly slid to the bottom line from right to left, came to the position below the basket, and made a cross screen with Li Ze.
Curry was a little embarrassed at this time, he didn't dare to switch to Li Ze's side immediately.
Tucker's meaty stature made the quality of the cover not bad. Iguodala was delayed, Curry went around the cover, and continued to chase and defend Tucker who bounced to the left flank.
Li Ze easily received a pass from the right wing Ingles in the low post on the right.
Iguodala came to the defense behind Li Ze, and before he could gain a firm foothold, he was hit by Li Ze, who put the ball with his left hand and hit his back, and his chest felt tight.
With his right foot as the axis, Li Ze pulled the ball backwards with his left hand, his shoulders shaking in confusion.
Iguodala was completely confused and failed to make any defensive reaction. Li Ze quickly turned forward, slapped twice, stepped up and down easily past the defense, and succeeded in picking the basket with his left hand.
Seeing Li Ze's clean low-post footsteps, Oracle Arena burst into cheers. There were also many Chinese fans present tonight. The beautiful individual singles made the fans unable to hold back.
36:37, the Clippers continued to bite the score!
Steve Kerr already felt bad, and the Clippers finally resorted to their trump card, preparing to find Curry's misplacement.
Attacking left and right, with the same tactic, Li Ze fought twice in a row!
Iguodala watched as he drifted toward the baseline on the left, and Li Ze, who made a jumper with a large fallback, had nothing to do, and his block was simply a display.
The ball fell into the basket, and Steve Kerr called a timeout immediately.
"Oh! Shhh"
The Oracle Arena became extremely noisy, and Li Ze's fans, who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, kept booing and cheering. In the past few minutes, Li Ze's low-post attack was very fierce.
At 40:37, the Clippers overtook the score by three points again!
On the Warriors bench, Steve Kerr looked at the depressed players and encouraged him loudly:
"We're doing a good job offensively, keep going, try our best to grab offensive rebounds, don't care about the score in front of us, be patient, and find our own offensive rhythm."
Curry sat in his seat and gasped for breath. He couldn't attack from a low position like Li Ze. Every time he attacked, he would look for misplacement in order to be safe.
A lot of running off the ball, coupled with frequent pick-and-rolls are consuming his physical energy, and the Clippers are always deliberately looking for his misplacement in these rounds, which makes Curry very uncomfortable.
Bogut played for more than three minutes and was replaced again. The pass-and-cut tactic was not played, Harrison Barnes re-entered the field, and the five small lineups returned.
Seeing that Jokic's pick-and-roll position is getting higher and higher, and Curry accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand and scored two points, Mark Jackson suddenly said:
"The Clippers forced the Warriors to give up a three-pointer. Obviously, in this quarter, they changed their defensive strategy."
Jeff Van Gundy also felt the game was starting to favor the Clippers:
"In such an important game, every time Kayce scores steadily, it will put a lot of pressure on the Warriors."
"This is a problem of scoring stability. Under pressure, the Warriors had to give up some strong three-pointers."
Tucker crosses the baseline every time, trying to switch Curry to Li Ze's side, while Iguodala desperately chases and defends Curry as much as possible.
This time Li Ze did not choose to ask for the ball in the low post, but played out and Ingles on the right wing completed the hand-off.
Clay did not choose to follow up at this time, but cooperated with Iguodala to double-team Li Ze.
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, moved towards the top of the arc. While pulling the defense, he finally ran to the bottom corner on the right, and immediately jumped up and threw the ball.
There was no one in front of him, and under the wide open space, Ingles caught the ball and threw it!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Steve Kerr couldn't accept being shot into a three-pointer from the bottom corner. He stood on the sidelines and loudly reminded his players to keep their defensive focus.
In the subsequent offensive round, Curry handed over the ball after halftime, and then began to run actively, but he soon found it difficult for him to catch the ball, and Li Ze kept chasing him.
The coaching staff of the Warriors naturally noticed this situation, but there was no good way for a while, and finally they could only comfort themselves silently:
"Defending Steph off the ball also requires a lot of physical energy, which is a good thing."
He didn't receive the ball for several consecutive rounds. This time, Curry simply attacked with the ball after halftime. The top of the arc and Green's high pick-and-roll, his left hand circled the ball behind his back, and then he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Li Ze was delayed by Green's dragging and dragging, and failed to complete the chase in the first place. Curry suddenly changed direction when facing Jokic who had switched defenses, and almost hit the white fat man's arms. He held the ball in his left hand and pressed his shoulder. Accelerate the breakthrough.
The difference in stature caused Curry to slow down, passing Jokic's defense, completely unaware that Li Ze was chasing after him.
Curry took advantage of the left hand to complete the throw, and the ball had just come out of his hands. Li Ze, who had been waiting in the air for a long time, sent a volleyball cap to his head and face!
"Snapped!"
After the ball rebounded vigorously, it just fell into Jokic's arms. After landing, Li Ze took the ball and faced the delayed Green in front of him. He circled the ball with his left hand and continued to accelerate with his right hand.
Amid the exclamation of the fans at the scene, the two entangled and rushed across the half.
Before they had time to complete the defensive positioning, everyone in the Warriors who returned to defense saw Li Ze, who was accelerating his breakthrough, suddenly blast the ball vigorously on the spot when he dribbled past the three-point line, and then returned to the top of the arc and outside the three-point line.
The sudden stop made Green, who was sliding fast, completely lose his defensive position, and quickly jumped up to defend, but it did not cause too much interference to Li Ze's shot.
"Shua!" Converted a three-pointer into the net!
Jokic, who didn't participate in the fast break at all, had already raised his hands when Li Ze made an emergency stop. Curry, who got up from the floor, saw the white fat man pretending to be X to celebrate, and his mood was not beautiful.
"You know, Kayce always hits shots like that, it's so easy for him!"
Jokic was very depressed by the pick-and-roll, and felt that the opponent was in a bad mood, so he teased Curry beside him by the way.
The Serbian-style English sounded awkward, but Curry generally understood it. He ignored the second-round pick, and Curry quickly returned to the half court to catch the ball.
At 57:53, the first half was coming to an end, and the Clippers widened the point difference again.
Clay scored from mid-range for several consecutive rounds before, but at the last moment, Curry, who lost face, stopped passing the ball and pressed time to continue the high pick-and-roll.
At the top of the arc, Green screened and went down, taking away Li Ze's defense. Jokic was still defending the shot, but this time Curry accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand and immediately pulled back with a cross step, swinging half of his body. Without any hesitation, he directly pulled out from outside the three-point line!
The ball fell into the basket, and the Oracle Arena, which had been silent for a whole section, burst into loud cheers again.
At the end of the half, at 57:56, the Clippers led by 1 point.
Curry, who threw a three-pointer, didn't celebrate too much, and ran directly to the player channel. He was not satisfied with his half-court performance.
"Curry's state came a bit late, but fortunately, the Warriors were only 1 point behind at halftime."
"13 of 5, 7 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 18 points in the half. I look forward to Curry's complete explosion in the second half."
Commentator Mike Breen looked at the technical statistics and summed up Curry's performance in a brisk tone.
Mark Jackson was a little disappointed. In his opinion, the Warriors were too passive in the second quarter and completely lost their offensive rhythm:
“快船队做好了充分的准备，Kayce半场17中12，三分线外5中2，已经拿到了32分6篮板5助攻1抢断1盖帽的数据。”
"What's more commendable is that under his leadership, the Clippers only had 4 turnovers in the half."
Jeff Van Gundy has entered Li Zechuan mode at this time:
"If Kayce scores 50+ tonight, I won't be surprised. The ultimate personal ability, the Warriors can't limit his scoring."
"."
The anxious game has attracted the attention of a large number of fans. Compared with last year, the ratings of this year's Western Conference Finals have increased significantly.
On social media, America's fans are obsessed with Li Ze's stats again. Except for some 2K gamers who continue to yell at the planning, everyone is blowing their minds.
"50+ is too easy, I hope the Warriors can hold on"
In the Clippers locker room, head coach De Nagro did not dare to be careless. The role players played normally tonight. The current game is completely in the rhythm of the Clippers:
"Nicolas, in the second half, we have more chances to finish at the basket and try to get to the free throw line. We need to slow down the pace."
Jokic nodded immediately, expressing that he understands that he doesn't like to run wildly with the Warriors either, and attacking positions is what he is best at right now.
The assistant coach also pushed out the tactical board. In the first half, the Warriors played a tactic of cutting to the basket without the ball many times, which has attracted the attention of the coaching staff.
Finally, head coach De Nagro asked Li Ze in a low voice:
"Kayce, how are you feeling? We need you to keep scoring in the second half!"
Li Ze, who replenished his water, replied confidently:
"Even if we enter overtime, it will not affect my scoring efficiency. We must win the game tonight!"
The atmosphere group all cheered. With such a boss around, the game was much easier.
Bravery can also be regarded as the Warriors' signature offense, perhaps because midfielder Steve Kerr's chicken soup was in place. After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors completely let go of their hands and feet and entered a state of blind chicken throwing.
The Clippers have a stable +2 for three consecutive rounds. The Warriors only need to complete a strong three-pointer and make another three-pointer to easily bite the score.
Jokic was blown up again, and Green, who was misfired from the outside in the first half, also exploded at this time, and the pick-and-roll was just thrown!
Curry finished throwing, Clay threw again, Iguodala became a point forward, and Harrison Barnes desperately protected the rebound.
Halfway through the third quarter, Iguodala made 2 of 1 free throws and Li Ze protected the rebound. The score came to 71:76, and the Warriors reversed the game.
In Oracle Arena, the atmosphere became hot again. Every time Curry touched the ball, Warriors fans cheered loudly!
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
At this time, Li Ze had completely slowed down the pace of the game. The Warriors ran wildly, and the Clippers pressed for 24 seconds to suppress the Warriors by reducing the number of rounds.
Although they were behind, everyone on the Clippers didn't panic at all. Everyone knew that Jin Thigh would still score.
It is still the "V"-shaped offense that the Clippers are best at. Harris raises the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and quickly bounces out after a false screen.
Harrison Barnes didn't dare to be careless. Tonight Harris has scored 15 points without saying a word, and the three-pointer that was emptied was extremely high.
Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, continued to move laterally, and Jokic immediately bounced to the top of the arc after the pick-and-roll.
At this time, the Warriors' defense has become impatient. Green desperately delays and cooperates with Iguodala to double-team Li Ze.
Without waiting for the double-team to form, Li Ze immediately gave the ball to Jokic, then quickly ran to the left flank, and gave Ingles an off-ball screen for Ingles who started from the left corner.
Clay switched to Li Ze's side, and Iguodala chased Ingles, and the hand-to-hand pass was squeezed, forcing Ingles to the logo position.
Li Ze in the left corner quickly slid to the bottom line, and once again completed a cross-screen with Tucker in the right corner in the three-second zone.
Curry was already impatient with such tactics, so he simply switched defenses this time.
Ingles paid attention to the situation on the bottom line, and once again picked and rolled Jokic in a high position, holding the ball in his right hand and breaking through on the right side, the fat man immediately went down and took away Green's defense.
Ingles sent a half-high pass from the right flank. Only then did Iguodala catch Curry behind Li Ze, and then decisively rushed to Li Ze.
Curry also noticed the big brother's defensive movements, and naturally tried his best to defend and block off the line, but after receiving the ball, Li Ze turned around and broke through with Curry's defensive tank.
Rolled to the lower right of the basket, Iguodala had no time to catch up, Li Ze jumped up immediately after the jump, and swung the ball into the basket through Curry!
"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
The Oracle Arena was instantly quiet. The scene was too brutal, and Curry was completely crushed like a paper man.
After completing the dunk, Li Ze hung the frame with one arm, and then landed firmly. Curry stood aside helplessly, spit out his braces, took a deep breath, and calmed down his depressed mood.
On the Clippers bench, seeing the boss calmly retreating, the atmosphere team yelled, it was too fierce!
Tucker, who returned to the half court, clapped his hands excitedly, reminding his teammates to continue to defend, and everyone in the Clippers was also excited.
The Warriors' three-pointers continued, and Iguodala bounced to the left flank, received a pass from Green, faced the defense, and also threw a three-pointer
73:79, the point difference came to 6 points.
The Warriors' offensive rhythm is very fast, while the lagging Clippers are still unhurried. Under the leadership of Li Ze, they played tactics step by step.
Li Ze is like a ruthless machine, constantly dismembering the Warriors' defense, Green delays too much, and Jokic, who goes down from the top of the arc, receives Li Ze's ground pass and easily scores two points at the basket.
Li Ze, who understands his own advantages, did not throw a wild three-pointer, but still steadily looked for opportunities for transition or low positions.
The cheers at Oracle Arena gradually diminished as the game time passed. The Clippers' calm offense and constant +2 made everyone feel oppressive.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines kept reminding his players loudly that he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when the third quarter ended.
85:89, the Warriors still lead by 4 points.
On the bench, Curry kept panting, and playing the third quarter was also a heavy load for him.
Noticing that Steve Kerr had called Livingston, Curry gasped and said:
"You don't need to replace me, my physical fitness is fine!"
"Don't forget that we are still leading by 4 points, believe in each other, all you need to do is to recover as much as possible."
Steve Kerr briefly comforted Curry, then turned his head and explained to Livingston the precautions on the court.
Clay was 7 of 4 in the third quarter, 4 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 13 points. He also took a 2-minute break in the middle and continued to appear in the fourth quarter.
At this time, head coach De Nagro sat back on the bench uncharacteristically, showing a confident look.
In the last quarter of the game, the Clippers took the lead in attacking. Jeff Van Gundy saw that Li Ze was still dribbling through halftime, and couldn't help saying:
"In a single quarter, he made 8 of 5 and made 4 of 4 free throws. Kayce scored another 14 points, but it is not an easy task to tie the point difference. The Warriors have found their touch on the outside."
As soon as the words fell, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand and came to the left flank outside the three-point line, suddenly circled the ball behind his back, lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
Iguodala, who had been prepared for a long time, subconsciously slid to the right and back. Li Ze, who came to the three-point line, suddenly dribbled the ball under his crotch, then quickly closed the ball, ignored the block, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"Your reaction speed has dropped a lot. In the next round, I will still hit a three-pointer here."
When Iguodala saw that Li Ze turned his head and backed up after installing X, he was immediately pissed off, and then his scalp tingled, wouldn't he go back in?
88:89, the point difference was reduced to 1 point!
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
The fans at the scene were a little panicked, and they could only follow the DJ and cheer for the home team loudly. Many people only remembered that Li Ze's three-point shooting ability is also very outrageous
At this time, Li Ze was no longer stingy with physical fitness. With a thought, the super badge began to respond, and he entered the "overclocking mode" instantly.
Iguodala dribbles across half court under the entanglement of Evan Turner, and then passes the ball to Green at the top of the key.
Tucker's defense was very close, and Green pretended to hand in hand with Clay on the right wing, and suddenly accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
The sudden acceleration caused Green to get stuck in half of his body, crushing Tucker all the way, breaking through to the basket, and putting the basket with his right hand. As soon as the ball was released, the fans' exclamations rang in his ears.
Li Ze, who was chasing to the inside, leaped high, took off his hat directly, grabbed the ball, and then rushed with the ball.
Clay immediately stepped forward to block, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, continued to accelerate along the left sideline, carrying the defense and crossing the center line.
Oracle Arena was full of boos, and Clay could only keep sliding. When approaching the three-point line, Li Ze, who was walking, quickly in and out with his left hand. After shaking his body to the right, he suddenly took a step horizontally.
A large step back made Clay lose his defensive position in an instant. Li Ze did not hesitate to switch to a three-pointer and force a jumper from the left flank one step away from the three-point line!
"Kayce-Li! Another three!"
"Oh my god!"
Suddenly two three-pointers made commentator Mike Breen yell God.
91:89, the Clippers lead by two points!
Steve Kerr on the sidelines was a little confused. What kind of shot is this?Subconsciously touched his forehead, hesitated for a moment and still did not ask for a timeout.
Clay waved his hand angrily. Li Ze raised his right hand and raised three fingers. When he saw Iguodala looking straight at him, he immediately smiled.
Green kept clapping his hands while serving from the baseline and shouted loudly:
"Hey! The game has just begun!"
Livingston took the ball and signaled his teammates to stabilize. After halftime, facing Reggie Bullock's defense, he rolled his back to the left block.
Clay in the right corner ran diagonally without the ball, came near the free throw line, received the pass, immediately feinted, then took a step with his right hand, turned around and shot a jumper!
Li Ze successfully predicted Clay's offensive choice. Under the interference, the ball finally hit the front of the basket, and Evan Turner retracted and retracted the rebound.
The Clippers speeded up again and quickly launched a transition attack. Clay, who completed the fadeaway jumper, failed to adjust his body center of gravity, and Li Ze had already rushed past him.
Evan Turner passed the lead, and Li Ze continued to accelerate after catching the ball with his left hand. The left wing came outside the three-point line, adjusted his pace and began to slow down.
Li Ze suddenly faltered with the ball on the three-point line, and Clay, who was chasing the defense, made a pounce, but found out that it was Li Ze's fake move.
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!
"Oh!!"
At 94:89, in less than 2 minutes, the Clippers led by 5 points. In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans all exclaimed, and Steve Kerr hurriedly requested a timeout.
"Unbelievable performance, it reminds me of the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and the Mavericks!"
"Kayce has shown his killer qualities, it seems that he is going to reap the game!"
The commentator Mike Breen blew a lot. Although the Warriors' physical fitness declined, Li Ze's three-pointer was still too outrageous.
Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson couldn't blow it anymore, and the Warriors struggled to keep their lead. In less than 2 minutes, Li Ze relied on his personal ability to complete the overtake.
Curry on the bench couldn't sit still anymore, threw away the towel, and prepared to play. Steve Kerr no longer considered physical issues, let go.
After the timeout, both sides regained their main lineups, and as a result, they both started the blacksmithing mode.
The Warriors double-teamed Li Ze frantically, and Li Ze also frantically chased Curry.
Double screens and baseline slips were all useless, and even the pull-and-drag screens couldn't allow Curry to easily catch the ball and complete the offense. Most of the rounds, he was chased to the end by Li Ze.
The game went on for more than three minutes and neither side scored a point.
The decline in physical fitness and the heavy pressure also made the role players of the Warriors invisible. The fans on the scene were silent at this time. Except for the exclamation, there was only the yelling and cursing of the irritable old man.
A rare opportunity to make a big difference, Curry hit the iron again with Jokic's strong three-pointer after the pick-and-roll.
The time of the game continued to pass, and in the Oracle Arena, many fans had stood up, praying that the home team could score as soon as possible.
It was the Clippers' transition attack that broke the deadlock first, and their physical fitness declined, and Iguodala's pursuit and defense speed became slower and slower.
With the ball in his right hand, Li Ze continued to accelerate along the right sideline. He noticed that the Warriors had basically completed their defense. When they were close to the three-point line, they suddenly stepped back and pulled back.
Iguodala couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and couldn't make a jump to block the shot. He watched Li Zeqiang shoot a three-point jumper!
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!
At 97:89, the point difference came to 8 points. The Clippers bench celebrated wildly. Coach De Nagro also stood up again and smiled slightly at the Warriors.
Li Ze patted his chest, raised his right hand again, raised three fingers, and continued to retreat calmly.
Curry couldn't stand it anymore, his physical fitness dropped drastically, and he was frantically chased and defended by Li Ze.
With 5 minutes and 15 seconds left in the game, Clay broke the deadlock for the Warriors. At this time, the Warriors fans in the Oracle Arena were completely out of battery.
At this time, the scores of the two sides began to rise slowly. The Warriors were suppressed by the Clippers for 24 seconds and failed to fight back effectively.
Li Ze, under the crazy double-team, was still very calm. Facing the double-team attack of Green and Iguodala, he continued to accelerate with the ball in his right hand. After pulling the defense, he hit the ground and passed the ball while walking.
The ball just passed by Green, and Jokic, who went down, dunked with both hands!
The opponent's physical fitness is declining, but Li Ze's showmanship is increasing. Jokic retreats shaking his head, and Green is blown up again.
Curry misfired, and the Warriors' score continued to rise with difficulty relying on Clay's strong shots and several free throws, but Li Ze handled the ball like a machine, but kept the point difference at 8 points.
Harrison Barnes scored 2 points with free throws in the last round. This time the Clippers attacked. After the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Li Ze accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
Facing the double-team defense, Li Ze didn't hit the ball immediately. Green was overjoyed and wanted to continue to defend this round with more effort, but he didn't expect Li Ze to suddenly throw the ball to the upper right of the basket with one hand!
Harris sneaked the bottom line, caught the ball in the air, and succeeded in dunking with both hands!
"shush"
Seeing Harris roar loudly after completing the lob, the Warriors fans at the scene could only boo helplessly.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines rubbed his eyebrows, and Harrison Barnes' defensive attention began to decline.
The piecemeal scoring could not narrow the point difference, and the referee did not blow the whistle frequently, which made the time pass quickly.
After Li Ze kept pressing the time and made several 24-second catch-and-shoot shots, with 1 minute and 01 seconds left in the game, Curry watched Li Ze make a strong three-pointer from the left flank and then scored. He was completely desperate for a while.
Steve Kerr didn't ask for a timeout either. The game was over and time was running out.
The final buzz sounded, the single quarter was 25:13, and the score was fixed at 110:102. The Clippers successfully won the battle of Tianwangshan.
In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans seemed unable to believe that the team only scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, and the noise and noise gradually sounded.
Curry sat down on the floor, gasping for breath, and almost vomited blood. Seeing everyone in the Clippers celebrating happily, he simply lay flat completely. He had tried his best.
Clay put his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky. They lost the match point in the Western Conference semifinals. They came back against the wind. Can the Western Conference Finals be played again?
After Li Ze finished the handshake with the Warriors players, he gave his teammates a high-five to celebrate. Seeing that Clay was still looking up at the sky, he immediately teased:
"I came to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, so I can just go home and have a look. I have already prepared tickets for the finals for you!"
"3:2, not 4:2, I will win, and I will give you a few tickets to the finals later!"
Clay punched Li Ze angrily, and the two whispered, and finally Li Ze found that the Warriors seemed to be missing one person:
"Where did the Stephens go?"
Clay inspected the circle, finally shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly:
"Maybe I'm in a bad mood, so I went back to the locker room early!"
The sports media at the scene couldn't hold back at this time, and ran to Li Ze's side, handed the microphone, and took pictures. Some people even shouted excitedly:
"Kayce, you made new history tonight! God, unbelievable!"
"We need an interview, Kayce accept my interview!"
"."
Although the last quarter of the game was not very good, the commentator Mike Breen didn't care about these details at this time:
"9 of 6 in a single quarter, Kayce scored 6 three-pointers in the fourth quarter!"
“全场34中23，三分线外12中8，罚球10中10，砍下64分12篮板8助攻2抢断2盖帽3失误！”
"This broke the single-game playoff scoring record set by Michael Jordan and Kayce himself in 1986. Incredible performance!"
Mark Jackson noticed that Li Ze's time came to 46 minutes, and he was speechless for a while, and the Warriors were overwhelmed:
"Congratulations to the Clippers for getting the match point. Increasing the rotation is the right choice. The Warriors still have a chance."
Jeff Van Gundy no longer cared about the performance of the Warriors at this time, and entered the Li Zechuan mode again:
"Maybe we should interview Michael, his records are being broken one by one, Kayce opened a new era!"
"."
At the press conference after the game, various sports reporters failed to see Curry, until the Warriors team reporter broke the news that Curry was in the hospital!
After the game, Curry, who was lying on the floor, did not get up. The team doctor noticed something was wrong and hurried Curry back to the locker room.
In the end, Curry, who was completely exhausted, had to go to the hospital for an infusion. When Ayesha took her daughter to see Curry, the situation has improved a lot:
"Stop fighting, you can't play 43 minutes every game!"
Curry teased his precious daughter, looked at the nervous Ayesha, smiled, and finally responded simply:
"I want to win, I want to play in the finals, the game the day after tomorrow, if I can, I even want to play the whole game!"
"."
Draymond Green is not as careless as Clay. He has long noticed something wrong with his thigh and came to the hospital to visit Curry immediately:
"We're going to reverse the series again, get some rest, Steph!"
Curry nodded, but thought of Li Ze's physical condition, but in the end he didn't respond:
"Physical gap? What a talent to envy."
Li Ze, who returned to the hotel, was not as relaxed as everyone imagined. In order to pretend to be X, he kept his face paralyzed most of the time. In fact, the continuous response of the super badge almost made his physical fitness bottom out.
With another overtime, Li Ze felt that he would be overdrawn.
Lying on the big bed, scrolling through Twitter, and replying to the news from the superficial brothers, Li Ze's thoughts flew to his own attributes:
"Sure enough, the attribute of over a hundred three-pointers is still needed, and the efficiency of +2 is limited"
On America's social media, the excited fans all liked and shared the data poster released by the NBA for the first time:
"64 points in a single game in the playoffs, the only one in history! # Witness the great # Young King (crown.jpg)"
In the TNT studio, host Ernie Johnson was still commenting on the game:
"Win the battle of Tianwangshan, the Clippers took the initiative again, Chuck, do you still think the Warriors will win the series?"
"."
Charles Barkley felt that he was poisonous, and the Warriors were about to collapse. He held back for a long time, and finally changed the subject:
"I also scored 56 points, Kayce is only 8 points more than me!"
Kenny Smith took over the topic with a smile at this time:
"Chuck, by the end of this year's playoffs, we will know how many 50+ times Kayce will have. I'm even looking forward to 60+!"
"In terms of scoring ability, no one can match Kayce!"
O'Neill was dumbfounded tonight, but he didn't tout Li Ze's scoring ability:
"Believe me, Kayce will succeed in any era. I am willing to share the title of "Superman" with him. Such physical ability is too terrifying."
The host Ernie Johnson saw the three expressed their opinions one after another, and asked again:
"Guys, which team do you think will win the Western Conference Finals?"
"I don't know, the Warriors are strong, but Kayce's performance is really unpredictable!"

(End of this chapter)
In the 15-16 season, the Warriors were able to achieve 73 wins, tying the best record in history set by the Clippers last season, relying on the movement of the ball, fast-paced offense and historical three-point shooting.
A large number of off-ball cuts and outrageous conversion three-pointers can be regarded as the Warriors' iconic offense.
In contrast, the Clippers have been mediocre this year. Most critics only remember that Li Ze averaged 40+ triple-doubles in the regular season, and they didn't care about the Clippers' lineup structure.
Compared with the three All-Stars of the Warriors, the Clippers have dim stars and their talents are not outstanding.
Clippers fans even nicknamed Jokic, Ingles, Reggie Bullock and others-"Mediocre".
"Mediocre" also includes Evan Turner and PJ Tucker on the bench. Plumlee often receives empty picks in the regular season, so this nickname did not fall on him.
Gallinari was jokingly called the shrunken version of Durant. Unfortunately, this man was a bit glassy and didn't make it to the playoffs. After Tobias Harris came to the team, he couldn't change this situation. "Mediocre" There is one more member.
Although they have a record of 68 wins, most critics don't bother to analyze the other Clippers players, which is really mediocre
After detailed analysis by Steve Kerr and the Warriors coaching staff, they found that the Clippers were better than they had imagined, with a height of 2 meters and an average shooting percentage of 37.6% from outside the three-point line.
Except for Evan Turner's refusal to shoot, Ingles, Reggie Bullock, and PJ Tucker can all produce three-pointers and contribute qualified defense.
The defense of the three has its own characteristics. Ingles's lateral speed is a bit stretched, but there are many small moves. Brock mostly leads the defense of small guards, while Tucker can switch to multiple positions.
In the battle of Tianwangshan in the Western Conference Finals, the key game, the Warriors did not attack conservatively. Steve Kerr simply reduced the rotation, continued to speed up, and tried his best to grab the start.
With 2 minutes and 31 seconds left in the first quarter, the Warriors' offense became more resolute, almost to the point of blindly throwing chickens.
Curry dribbled across the half court, and Clay immediately started in the left corner. With the help of Draymond Green's upper screen, he quickly came to the left wing outside the three-point line to receive the ball.
Reggie Bullock's chasing defense was simply pushed away by Green, and Jokic was forced to defend. As a result, Clay received a pass from Curry at the top of the arc, did not make adjustments, and threw the ball from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans cheered crazily. Although they had hit the iron before, as long as they made a three-pointer, everyone felt comfortable.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
The DJ shouted Klay Thompson's name loudly, and then led the fans to keep shouting.
More than 1 fans broke out and became the best sixth man of the Warriors. The shouts of the fans can always inspire the morale of the players.
Green, who played well in the last game, was very active tonight. He shouted at his teammates when he retreated, and immediately signaled Curry to go to the bottom corner to smoke.
For the Warriors, the good news is that Li Ze will not deliberately play the pick-and-roll on Curry's side. The bad news is that whoever defends Li Ze from the five players on the field has the same effect.
Li Ze and Jokic, who are holding the ball in their right hand, came to the half court together, and Iguodala no longer had a brainless defense. He was beaten by mid-range shots in the previous few games.
Noticing that Jokic was standing at the top of the arc to the left of Li Ze, Iguodala hurried forward and took two steps, preparing to squeeze through the cover.
Green was still loudly reminding Harrison Barnes to prepare to shrink, but Li Ze, who was at the top of the arc, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, swayed his body to the left, quickly in and out with his right hand, and then accelerated with all his strength.
Iguodala's defense was slightly taken aback, and then he completely lost his defensive position. It was too late to slide, and Li Ze rushed into the three-point line with a simple misleading change of direction.
Green reacted the fastest, and immediately blocked Li Ze's breakthrough route with a sliding step. Li Ze's right hand was in and out again at the free throw line. After changing the rhythm, he was half a body ahead of Green in an instant.
Stepping up to take off, Li Ze leaned forward, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, carried Green on his shoulders, and completed the basket pick!
The take-off position was too far away, so Green could not adjust his pace in time and pulled subconsciously. As a result, he only got Li Ze's jersey, and finally watched the ball hit the board and enter the basket.
"squeak!"
The referee will not let go of such an obvious foul action when the ball goes into the whistle.
After landing, Green opened his mouth, but he couldn't complain in the end. He was extremely depressed. This was an exaggerated impact, which reminded him of the turtle in the Western Conference semifinals.
Li Ze walked to the free throw line, and the Oracle Arena was booed again. No matter how exaggerated the Warriors hit a three-pointer, the Clippers were stable +2 in most rounds.
On the sidelines, head coach Denagro looked serious. In this game, the Warriors continued the strategy of G4 and increased Green's aggressiveness. All offenses were aimed at Jokic on the court.
Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throw, head coach De Nagro simply took Tucker and Evan Turner, and replaced Jokic and Reggie Bullock.
Without a center, the Clippers also became a small lineup of 5, and Harris played at the 5th position.
"This is really a bold substitution adjustment. The big man was attacked frequently on the court, and the Clippers were forced to change the lineup."
The commentator Mike Brin really didn't expect the Clippers to change so simply, but Jeff Van Gundy felt that this adjustment was a bit late:
"The Clippers should adjust their lineup earlier. At present, the Warriors have found the feeling of outside shooting. This is definitely not good news."
With Li Zejia's free throw, the score came to 26:28, and the Warriors still led by 2 points.
Steve Kerr did not make substitution adjustments, and Speights, Barbosa, and Varejao couldn't keep up with the rhythm. At most, he changed Livingston.
But the coaching staff plans to beat the main force tonight. Curry is currently 4 of 2 and scored 6 points.
After Evan Turner came on the field, he was responsible for marking Iguodala, Ingles switched to Harrison Barnes, Harris followed Green, and Tucker was in charge of Clay.
Switching defense at any time made the Warriors' offense a little uncomfortable. Without Jokic, the Clippers would switch most of the screens. Only Li Ze still chased Curry.
After turning around, Curry failed to get a mobile phone opportunity. In this quarter, all his points came from switching offenses. At this time, he was caught by Li Ze's right corner and smoked.
Harrison Barnes tried to hit Ingles with a low body. After Green sent a pass at the top of the arc, Harrison Barnes immediately hit back.
Amidst the booing of the fans at the scene, Harrison Barnes finally turned over and made a fadeaway jumper in the left block!
"state"
The moment the rebound popped up, Tucker easily protected the backcourt rebound, and the Warriors retreated quickly.
Ingle received the rebound and gave the ball to Evan Turner immediately, and the Clippers immediately accelerated.
There was no more white fat, and 5 people rushed across the half court at the same time. Curry refused to shoot Evan Turner. Although the two were both guards, Curry was a circle smaller.
Green saw Harris run directly to the right near the baseline and immediately realized that the Clippers wanted to play low.
Both sides are very aware of the opponent's tactical intentions. Seeing Li Ze in the left block position and asking for the ball, Green reminded Curry loudly:
"Shrink the defense!"
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The huge defensive cheers at the scene prevented Curry from hearing the prompt, and Iguodala suddenly half-circled forward to defend, but unexpectedly, Li Ze turned around and swiped into the inside line all at once.
The defense lost its position, and Evan Turner at the top of the arc immediately threw the ball to the upper left of the basket.
Li Ze, who completed the alley-oop dunk, gave Evan Turner a thumbs up immediately after landing. After connecting the lineup, he played the No. 2 position again.
At this time, Evan Turner and Ingles are the organizers of the team. The Clippers' tactics are still simple and rough, and they continue to let Li Ze receive the ball.
Green patted the ball angrily. Although he was aware of the Clippers' offensive routine, he just couldn't prevent it.
Curry should double-team immediately, but there is a problem with his thigh, and Green dare not blame him.
In the last more than a minute, both sides started to run, and the offensive rhythm accelerated. It was originally the rhythm of the Warriors, but two reverse running cuts were made, and Iguodala and Barnes failed to finish.
After Harris hit the iron in the middle distance, Li Ze's drifting backward jumper in the right block also followed. Harrison Barnes, who shrank to the basket, struggled to protect the backcourt rebound, and found Clay who was fast down with a pass.
There was not much time left in the first quarter. Clay rushed with the ball at this time, holding the ball in his right hand against Tucker's defense and going straight to the basket.
Unable to take advantage of the trend to complete the layup, Clay was oppressed by Tucker and could only slow down. He immediately turned his back to the right block, and finally broke through to the right near the bottom line and had no choice but to stop the ball.
The position was too deep, Tucker began to interfere, and Clay immediately threw the ball to Curry on the right wing outside the three-point line.
The pass was too strong and the intention was particularly obvious. Li Ze rushed in front of Curry, jumped high and blocked the ball.
Sensing that Curry behind him had already stuck up, Li Ze took the ball forward after landing, turned around deftly with Curry, threw away the defense, grabbed the ball and rushed.
At the end of the first quarter, the offensive and defensive positions were changed. The boos in the Oracle Arena could not stop Li Ze from counterattacking. Green, who had just passed halftime, could only grit his teeth and speed up his defense.
Curry also chased after Li Ze. Li Ze, who was close to the basket, took off with both feet.
"Boom! Squeak!"
The ferocious dunk caused the basket to explode. Under the impact of Li Ze, Green completely lost his center of gravity after hitting his arm, and fell headlong to the floor after landing.
Green, who fell hard, heard the referee's whistle and was so angry that he slammed the floor twice.
The teammate who was driven back pulled up and saw Li Ze smiling and shaking his head and walking towards the free throw line. Green, who was above him, wanted to go forward to argue, but was immediately stopped by Iguodala.
Of course, the Warriors coaching staff knew that Green’s malicious foul had accumulated 3 points. These games have repeatedly emphasized not to be impulsive. Iguodala reminded loudly:
"The first quarter is over soon, don't do any more stupid things!"
Ingalls, who was leaning on his knees, started to fight again at this time:
"Show off your last performance and play like a true All-Star!"
This sentence stimulated Green again. Many football critics said that he hugged his thighs. Although this is true, he still lost face when he was said in person:
"Shet! Show respect"
As soon as Green finished speaking, the line referee at the bottom line immediately blew his whistle continuously, and immediately stepped forward, lying between the two of them, focusing on the battle. Currently, the whistle is relatively strict.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines was afraid that his defensive core would be sent off accidentally, so he quickly reminded his players to calm down.
In contrast, everyone on the Clippers is very relaxed, and the job of the role players on the court is to cast the ball and defend with all their strength.
Ingles even waved to the fans in the front row in a mood. Some irritable fans did a lot of output tonight.
Li Ze made another penalty and the score came to 31:28. The Clippers completed the overtake at the end of the first quarter.
At the last moment, Curry missed a long three-pointer, and the Warriors fans on the scene were depressed for a while.
"The first quarter of the game was very exciting. The Warriors blossomed more, and the Clippers relied on Kayce's performance to complete the overtake."
“单节10中7，三分线外3中1，罚球4中4，Kayce首节就砍下了19分3篮板2助攻1抢断的数据！”
The commentator Mike Breen was also taken aback when he saw the technical statistics, and the number of Li Ze's shots increased again.
Mark Jackson was a little worried about the outside line of the Warriors. Although the commentary should be neutral, he himself was somewhat biased towards the Warriors:
"Steve should let Curry rest for a few minutes. I don't want to see the fourth quarter of the game again, and the Warriors' shooting percentage suddenly drops."
Jeff Van Gundy was more concerned about the Warriors' performance from beyond the arc tonight:
"11 of 4 in a single quarter. The Warriors' outside three-pointers are not ideal. I think they should hit the ball more to the basket."
Steve Kerr picked up Bogut again in the second quarter, while Green, Klay, Harrison Barnes continued to play, and Livingston replaced Curry.
For the Clippers, head coach De Nagro took Jokic early, plus Evan Turner, Reggie Bullock, Crawford, and Tucker, and became a big four again. Small lineup.
The Warriors took the lead in attacking, Clay first ran without the ball, received a pass from a high position in the paint to support Bogut, and scored two points from mid-range.
In the Oracle Arena, the live DJ once again mobilized the audience's emotions and continued to cheer for the Warriors. The Clippers only played for 2 minutes and 32 seconds with this lineup, but the Warriors overtook it by 3 points.
At 34:37, Clay shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line, and coach De Nagro immediately requested a timeout.
Li Ze stood up and bumped fists with his teammates who walked to the sidelines. The top of the arc was a long-distance three-pointer, and he made all the throws. This is the Warriors' offense.
After all, Crawford is still old, and the defensive end has been targeted badly. The Warriors' breakthroughs and points were played from him twice.
"The game is handed over to me, remember to cheer for me!"
Back on the bench, hearing Li Ze's teasing voice, Crawford smiled and bumped his fists. Although it was the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the veterans were not nervous. They had experienced too many intense and intense games in the past few years.
Of course, part of the reason is that Curry has a baby face. Compared with the Heat during the Big Three period, everyone feels that the jump shot team is not terrible.
After seeing more of Li Ze's performance, Curry became mediocre.
The Clippers regained their main lineup, Tucker replaced Reggie Bullock, and Steve Kerr knew that Li Ze would definitely play, and he did not hesitate to replace Curry.
Bogut stayed on the field, and Harrison Barnes, who performed poorly in the first quarter, sat on the bench.
After Li Ze came on the field, the Clippers' first offense simply played a low-post tactic.
After halftime, Li Ze immediately gave the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc, and Ingles on the left flank immediately came to the top of the arc to catch the ball.
At the same time, Tucker in the right bottom corner quickly slid to the bottom line from right to left, came to the position below the basket, and made a cross screen with Li Ze.
Curry was a little embarrassed at this time, he didn't dare to switch to Li Ze's side immediately.
Tucker's meaty stature made the quality of the cover not bad. Iguodala was delayed, Curry went around the cover, and continued to chase and defend Tucker who bounced to the left flank.
Li Ze easily received a pass from the right wing Ingles in the low post on the right.
Iguodala came to the defense behind Li Ze, and before he could gain a firm foothold, he was hit by Li Ze, who put the ball with his left hand and hit his back, and his chest felt tight.
With his right foot as the axis, Li Ze pulled the ball backwards with his left hand, his shoulders shaking in confusion.
Iguodala was completely confused and failed to make any defensive reaction. Li Ze quickly turned forward, slapped twice, stepped up and down easily past the defense, and succeeded in picking the basket with his left hand.
Seeing Li Ze's clean low-post footsteps, Oracle Arena burst into cheers. There were also many Chinese fans present tonight. The beautiful individual singles made the fans unable to hold back.
36:37, the Clippers continued to bite the score!
Steve Kerr already felt bad, and the Clippers finally resorted to their trump card, preparing to find Curry's misplacement.
Attacking left and right, with the same tactic, Li Ze fought twice in a row!
Iguodala watched as he drifted toward the baseline on the left, and Li Ze, who made a jumper with a large fallback, had nothing to do, and his block was simply a display.
The ball fell into the basket, and Steve Kerr called a timeout immediately.
"Oh! Shhh"
The Oracle Arena became extremely noisy, and Li Ze's fans, who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, kept booing and cheering. In the past few minutes, Li Ze's low-post attack was very fierce.
At 40:37, the Clippers overtook the score by three points again!
On the Warriors bench, Steve Kerr looked at the depressed players and encouraged him loudly:
"We're doing a good job offensively, keep going, try our best to grab offensive rebounds, don't care about the score in front of us, be patient, and find our own offensive rhythm."
Curry sat in his seat and gasped for breath. He couldn't attack from a low position like Li Ze. Every time he attacked, he would look for misplacement in order to be safe.
A lot of running off the ball, coupled with frequent pick-and-rolls are consuming his physical energy, and the Clippers are always deliberately looking for his misplacement in these rounds, which makes Curry very uncomfortable.
Bogut played for more than three minutes and was replaced again. The pass-and-cut tactic was not played, Harrison Barnes re-entered the field, and the five small lineups returned.
Seeing that Jokic's pick-and-roll position is getting higher and higher, and Curry accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand and scored two points, Mark Jackson suddenly said:
"The Clippers forced the Warriors to give up a three-pointer. Obviously, in this quarter, they changed their defensive strategy."
Jeff Van Gundy also felt the game was starting to favor the Clippers:
"In such an important game, every time Kayce scores steadily, it will put a lot of pressure on the Warriors."
"This is a problem of scoring stability. Under pressure, the Warriors had to give up some strong three-pointers."
Tucker crosses the baseline every time, trying to switch Curry to Li Ze's side, while Iguodala desperately chases and defends Curry as much as possible.
This time Li Ze did not choose to ask for the ball in the low post, but played out and Ingles on the right wing completed the hand-off.
Clay did not choose to follow up at this time, but cooperated with Iguodala to double-team Li Ze.
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, moved towards the top of the arc. While pulling the defense, he finally ran to the bottom corner on the right, and immediately jumped up and threw the ball.
There was no one in front of him, and under the wide open space, Ingles caught the ball and threw it!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Steve Kerr couldn't accept being shot into a three-pointer from the bottom corner. He stood on the sidelines and loudly reminded his players to keep their defensive focus.
In the subsequent offensive round, Curry handed over the ball after halftime, and then began to run actively, but he soon found it difficult for him to catch the ball, and Li Ze kept chasing him.
The coaching staff of the Warriors naturally noticed this situation, but there was no good way for a while, and finally they could only comfort themselves silently:
"Defending Steph off the ball also requires a lot of physical energy, which is a good thing."
He didn't receive the ball for several consecutive rounds. This time, Curry simply attacked with the ball after halftime. The top of the arc and Green's high pick-and-roll, his left hand circled the ball behind his back, and then he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Li Ze was delayed by Green's dragging and dragging, and failed to complete the chase in the first place. Curry suddenly changed direction when facing Jokic who had switched defenses, and almost hit the white fat man's arms. He held the ball in his left hand and pressed his shoulder. Accelerate the breakthrough.
The difference in stature caused Curry to slow down, passing Jokic's defense, completely unaware that Li Ze was chasing after him.
Curry took advantage of the left hand to complete the throw, and the ball had just come out of his hands. Li Ze, who had been waiting in the air for a long time, sent a volleyball cap to his head and face!
"Snapped!"
After the ball rebounded vigorously, it just fell into Jokic's arms. After landing, Li Ze took the ball and faced the delayed Green in front of him. He circled the ball with his left hand and continued to accelerate with his right hand.
Amid the exclamation of the fans at the scene, the two entangled and rushed across the half.
Before they had time to complete the defensive positioning, everyone in the Warriors who returned to defense saw Li Ze, who was accelerating his breakthrough, suddenly blast the ball vigorously on the spot when he dribbled past the three-point line, and then returned to the top of the arc and outside the three-point line.
The sudden stop made Green, who was sliding fast, completely lose his defensive position, and quickly jumped up to defend, but it did not cause too much interference to Li Ze's shot.
"Shua!" Converted a three-pointer into the net!
Jokic, who didn't participate in the fast break at all, had already raised his hands when Li Ze made an emergency stop. Curry, who got up from the floor, saw the white fat man pretending to be X to celebrate, and his mood was not beautiful.
"You know, Kayce always hits shots like that, it's so easy for him!"
Jokic was very depressed by the pick-and-roll, and felt that the opponent was in a bad mood, so he teased Curry beside him by the way.
The Serbian-style English sounded awkward, but Curry generally understood it. He ignored the second-round pick, and Curry quickly returned to the half court to catch the ball.
At 57:53, the first half was coming to an end, and the Clippers widened the point difference again.
Clay scored from mid-range for several consecutive rounds before, but at the last moment, Curry, who lost face, stopped passing the ball and pressed time to continue the high pick-and-roll.
At the top of the arc, Green screened and went down, taking away Li Ze's defense. Jokic was still defending the shot, but this time Curry accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand and immediately pulled back with a cross step, swinging half of his body. Without any hesitation, he directly pulled out from outside the three-point line!
The ball fell into the basket, and the Oracle Arena, which had been silent for a whole section, burst into loud cheers again.
At the end of the half, at 57:56, the Clippers led by 1 point.
Curry, who threw a three-pointer, didn't celebrate too much, and ran directly to the player channel. He was not satisfied with his half-court performance.
"Curry's state came a bit late, but fortunately, the Warriors were only 1 point behind at halftime."
"13 of 5, 7 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 18 points in the half. I look forward to Curry's complete explosion in the second half."
Commentator Mike Breen looked at the technical statistics and summed up Curry's performance in a brisk tone.
Mark Jackson was a little disappointed. In his opinion, the Warriors were too passive in the second quarter and completely lost their offensive rhythm:
“快船队做好了充分的准备，Kayce半场17中12，三分线外5中2，已经拿到了32分6篮板5助攻1抢断1盖帽的数据。”
"What's more commendable is that under his leadership, the Clippers only had 4 turnovers in the half."
Jeff Van Gundy has entered Li Zechuan mode at this time:
"If Kayce scores 50+ tonight, I won't be surprised. The ultimate personal ability, the Warriors can't limit his scoring."
"."
The anxious game has attracted the attention of a large number of fans. Compared with last year, the ratings of this year's Western Conference Finals have increased significantly.
On social media, America's fans are obsessed with Li Ze's stats again. Except for some 2K gamers who continue to yell at the planning, everyone is blowing their minds.
"50+ is too easy, I hope the Warriors can hold on"
In the Clippers locker room, head coach De Nagro did not dare to be careless. The role players played normally tonight. The current game is completely in the rhythm of the Clippers:
"Nicolas, in the second half, we have more chances to finish at the basket and try to get to the free throw line. We need to slow down the pace."
Jokic nodded immediately, expressing that he understands that he doesn't like to run wildly with the Warriors either, and attacking positions is what he is best at right now.
The assistant coach also pushed out the tactical board. In the first half, the Warriors played a tactic of cutting to the basket without the ball many times, which has attracted the attention of the coaching staff.
Finally, head coach De Nagro asked Li Ze in a low voice:
"Kayce, how are you feeling? We need you to keep scoring in the second half!"
Li Ze, who replenished his water, replied confidently:
"Even if we enter overtime, it will not affect my scoring efficiency. We must win the game tonight!"
The atmosphere group all cheered. With such a boss around, the game was much easier.
Bravery can also be regarded as the Warriors' signature offense, perhaps because midfielder Steve Kerr's chicken soup was in place. After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors completely let go of their hands and feet and entered a state of blind chicken throwing.
The Clippers have a stable +2 for three consecutive rounds. The Warriors only need to complete a strong three-pointer and make another three-pointer to easily bite the score.
Jokic was blown up again, and Green, who was misfired from the outside in the first half, also exploded at this time, and the pick-and-roll was just thrown!
Curry finished throwing, Clay threw again, Iguodala became a point forward, and Harrison Barnes desperately protected the rebound.
Halfway through the third quarter, Iguodala made 2 of 1 free throws and Li Ze protected the rebound. The score came to 71:76, and the Warriors reversed the game.
In Oracle Arena, the atmosphere became hot again. Every time Curry touched the ball, Warriors fans cheered loudly!
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
At this time, Li Ze had completely slowed down the pace of the game. The Warriors ran wildly, and the Clippers pressed for 24 seconds to suppress the Warriors by reducing the number of rounds.
Although they were behind, everyone on the Clippers didn't panic at all. Everyone knew that Jin Thigh would still score.
It is still the "V"-shaped offense that the Clippers are best at. Harris raises the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and quickly bounces out after a false screen.
Harrison Barnes didn't dare to be careless. Tonight Harris has scored 15 points without saying a word, and the three-pointer that was emptied was extremely high.
Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, continued to move laterally, and Jokic immediately bounced to the top of the arc after the pick-and-roll.
At this time, the Warriors' defense has become impatient. Green desperately delays and cooperates with Iguodala to double-team Li Ze.
Without waiting for the double-team to form, Li Ze immediately gave the ball to Jokic, then quickly ran to the left flank, and gave Ingles an off-ball screen for Ingles who started from the left corner.
Clay switched to Li Ze's side, and Iguodala chased Ingles, and the hand-to-hand pass was squeezed, forcing Ingles to the logo position.
Li Ze in the left corner quickly slid to the bottom line, and once again completed a cross-screen with Tucker in the right corner in the three-second zone.
Curry was already impatient with such tactics, so he simply switched defenses this time.
Ingles paid attention to the situation on the bottom line, and once again picked and rolled Jokic in a high position, holding the ball in his right hand and breaking through on the right side, the fat man immediately went down and took away Green's defense.
Ingles sent a half-high pass from the right flank. Only then did Iguodala catch Curry behind Li Ze, and then decisively rushed to Li Ze.
Curry also noticed the big brother's defensive movements, and naturally tried his best to defend and block off the line, but after receiving the ball, Li Ze turned around and broke through with Curry's defensive tank.
Rolled to the lower right of the basket, Iguodala had no time to catch up, Li Ze jumped up immediately after the jump, and swung the ball into the basket through Curry!
"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
The Oracle Arena was instantly quiet. The scene was too brutal, and Curry was completely crushed like a paper man.
After completing the dunk, Li Ze hung the frame with one arm, and then landed firmly. Curry stood aside helplessly, spit out his braces, took a deep breath, and calmed down his depressed mood.
On the Clippers bench, seeing the boss calmly retreating, the atmosphere team yelled, it was too fierce!
Tucker, who returned to the half court, clapped his hands excitedly, reminding his teammates to continue to defend, and everyone in the Clippers was also excited.
The Warriors' three-pointers continued, and Iguodala bounced to the left flank, received a pass from Green, faced the defense, and also threw a three-pointer
73:79, the point difference came to 6 points.
The Warriors' offensive rhythm is very fast, while the lagging Clippers are still unhurried. Under the leadership of Li Ze, they played tactics step by step.
Li Ze is like a ruthless machine, constantly dismembering the Warriors' defense, Green delays too much, and Jokic, who goes down from the top of the arc, receives Li Ze's ground pass and easily scores two points at the basket.
Li Ze, who understands his own advantages, did not throw a wild three-pointer, but still steadily looked for opportunities for transition or low positions.
The cheers at Oracle Arena gradually diminished as the game time passed. The Clippers' calm offense and constant +2 made everyone feel oppressive.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines kept reminding his players loudly that he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when the third quarter ended.
85:89, the Warriors still lead by 4 points.
On the bench, Curry kept panting, and playing the third quarter was also a heavy load for him.
Noticing that Steve Kerr had called Livingston, Curry gasped and said:
"You don't need to replace me, my physical fitness is fine!"
"Don't forget that we are still leading by 4 points, believe in each other, all you need to do is to recover as much as possible."
Steve Kerr briefly comforted Curry, then turned his head and explained to Livingston the precautions on the court.
Clay was 7 of 4 in the third quarter, 4 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 13 points. He also took a 2-minute break in the middle and continued to appear in the fourth quarter.
At this time, head coach De Nagro sat back on the bench uncharacteristically, showing a confident look.
In the last quarter of the game, the Clippers took the lead in attacking. Jeff Van Gundy saw that Li Ze was still dribbling through halftime, and couldn't help saying:
"In a single quarter, he made 8 of 5 and made 4 of 4 free throws. Kayce scored another 14 points, but it is not an easy task to tie the point difference. The Warriors have found their touch on the outside."
As soon as the words fell, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand and came to the left flank outside the three-point line, suddenly circled the ball behind his back, lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
Iguodala, who had been prepared for a long time, subconsciously slid to the right and back. Li Ze, who came to the three-point line, suddenly dribbled the ball under his crotch, then quickly closed the ball, ignored the block, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"Your reaction speed has dropped a lot. In the next round, I will still hit a three-pointer here."
When Iguodala saw that Li Ze turned his head and backed up after installing X, he was immediately pissed off, and then his scalp tingled, wouldn't he go back in?
88:89, the point difference was reduced to 1 point!
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
The fans at the scene were a little panicked, and they could only follow the DJ and cheer for the home team loudly. Many people only remembered that Li Ze's three-point shooting ability is also very outrageous
At this time, Li Ze was no longer stingy with physical fitness. With a thought, the super badge began to respond, and he entered the "overclocking mode" instantly.
Iguodala dribbles across half court under the entanglement of Evan Turner, and then passes the ball to Green at the top of the key.
Tucker's defense was very close, and Green pretended to hand in hand with Clay on the right wing, and suddenly accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
The sudden acceleration caused Green to get stuck in half of his body, crushing Tucker all the way, breaking through to the basket, and putting the basket with his right hand. As soon as the ball was released, the fans' exclamations rang in his ears.
Li Ze, who was chasing to the inside, leaped high, took off his hat directly, grabbed the ball, and then rushed with the ball.
Clay immediately stepped forward to block, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, continued to accelerate along the left sideline, carrying the defense and crossing the center line.
Oracle Arena was full of boos, and Clay could only keep sliding. When approaching the three-point line, Li Ze, who was walking, quickly in and out with his left hand. After shaking his body to the right, he suddenly took a step horizontally.
A large step back made Clay lose his defensive position in an instant. Li Ze did not hesitate to switch to a three-pointer and force a jumper from the left flank one step away from the three-point line!
"Kayce-Li! Another three!"
"Oh my god!"
Suddenly two three-pointers made commentator Mike Breen yell God.
91:89, the Clippers lead by two points!
Steve Kerr on the sidelines was a little confused. What kind of shot is this?Subconsciously touched his forehead, hesitated for a moment and still did not ask for a timeout.
Clay waved his hand angrily. Li Ze raised his right hand and raised three fingers. When he saw Iguodala looking straight at him, he immediately smiled.
Green kept clapping his hands while serving from the baseline and shouted loudly:
"Hey! The game has just begun!"
Livingston took the ball and signaled his teammates to stabilize. After halftime, facing Reggie Bullock's defense, he rolled his back to the left block.
Clay in the right corner ran diagonally without the ball, came near the free throw line, received the pass, immediately feinted, then took a step with his right hand, turned around and shot a jumper!
Li Ze successfully predicted Clay's offensive choice. Under the interference, the ball finally hit the front of the basket, and Evan Turner retracted and retracted the rebound.
The Clippers speeded up again and quickly launched a transition attack. Clay, who completed the fadeaway jumper, failed to adjust his body center of gravity, and Li Ze had already rushed past him.
Evan Turner passed the lead, and Li Ze continued to accelerate after catching the ball with his left hand. The left wing came outside the three-point line, adjusted his pace and began to slow down.
Li Ze suddenly faltered with the ball on the three-point line, and Clay, who was chasing the defense, made a pounce, but found out that it was Li Ze's fake move.
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!
"Oh!!"
At 94:89, in less than 2 minutes, the Clippers led by 5 points. In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans all exclaimed, and Steve Kerr hurriedly requested a timeout.
"Unbelievable performance, it reminds me of the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and the Mavericks!"
"Kayce has shown his killer qualities, it seems that he is going to reap the game!"
The commentator Mike Breen blew a lot. Although the Warriors' physical fitness declined, Li Ze's three-pointer was still too outrageous.
Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson couldn't blow it anymore, and the Warriors struggled to keep their lead. In less than 2 minutes, Li Ze relied on his personal ability to complete the overtake.
Curry on the bench couldn't sit still anymore, threw away the towel, and prepared to play. Steve Kerr no longer considered physical issues, let go.
After the timeout, both sides regained their main lineups, and as a result, they both started the blacksmithing mode.
The Warriors double-teamed Li Ze frantically, and Li Ze also frantically chased Curry.
Double screens and baseline slips were all useless, and even the pull-and-drag screens couldn't allow Curry to easily catch the ball and complete the offense. Most of the rounds, he was chased to the end by Li Ze.
The game went on for more than three minutes and neither side scored a point.
The decline in physical fitness and the heavy pressure also made the role players of the Warriors invisible. The fans on the scene were silent at this time. Except for the exclamation, there was only the yelling and cursing of the irritable old man.
A rare opportunity to make a big difference, Curry hit the iron again with Jokic's strong three-pointer after the pick-and-roll.
The time of the game continued to pass, and in the Oracle Arena, many fans had stood up, praying that the home team could score as soon as possible.
It was the Clippers' transition attack that broke the deadlock first, and their physical fitness declined, and Iguodala's pursuit and defense speed became slower and slower.
With the ball in his right hand, Li Ze continued to accelerate along the right sideline. He noticed that the Warriors had basically completed their defense. When they were close to the three-point line, they suddenly stepped back and pulled back.
Iguodala couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and couldn't make a jump to block the shot. He watched Li Zeqiang shoot a three-point jumper!
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!
At 97:89, the point difference came to 8 points. The Clippers bench celebrated wildly. Coach De Nagro also stood up again and smiled slightly at the Warriors.
Li Ze patted his chest, raised his right hand again, raised three fingers, and continued to retreat calmly.
Curry couldn't stand it anymore, his physical fitness dropped drastically, and he was frantically chased and defended by Li Ze.
With 5 minutes and 15 seconds left in the game, Clay broke the deadlock for the Warriors. At this time, the Warriors fans in the Oracle Arena were completely out of battery.
At this time, the scores of the two sides began to rise slowly. The Warriors were suppressed by the Clippers for 24 seconds and failed to fight back effectively.
Li Ze, under the crazy double-team, was still very calm. Facing the double-team attack of Green and Iguodala, he continued to accelerate with the ball in his right hand. After pulling the defense, he hit the ground and passed the ball while walking.
The ball just passed by Green, and Jokic, who went down, dunked with both hands!
The opponent's physical fitness is declining, but Li Ze's showmanship is increasing. Jokic retreats shaking his head, and Green is blown up again.
Curry misfired, and the Warriors' score continued to rise with difficulty relying on Clay's strong shots and several free throws, but Li Ze handled the ball like a machine, but kept the point difference at 8 points.
Harrison Barnes scored 2 points with free throws in the last round. This time the Clippers attacked. After the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Li Ze accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
Facing the double-team defense, Li Ze didn't hit the ball immediately. Green was overjoyed and wanted to continue to defend this round with more effort, but he didn't expect Li Ze to suddenly throw the ball to the upper right of the basket with one hand!
Harris sneaked the bottom line, caught the ball in the air, and succeeded in dunking with both hands!
"shush"
Seeing Harris roar loudly after completing the lob, the Warriors fans at the scene could only boo helplessly.
Steve Kerr on the sidelines rubbed his eyebrows, and Harrison Barnes' defensive attention began to decline.
The piecemeal scoring could not narrow the point difference, and the referee did not blow the whistle frequently, which made the time pass quickly.
After Li Ze kept pressing the time and made several 24-second catch-and-shoot shots, with 1 minute and 01 seconds left in the game, Curry watched Li Ze make a strong three-pointer from the left flank and then scored. He was completely desperate for a while.
Steve Kerr didn't ask for a timeout either. The game was over and time was running out.
The final buzz sounded, the single quarter was 25:13, and the score was fixed at 110:102. The Clippers successfully won the battle of Tianwangshan.
In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans seemed unable to believe that the team only scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, and the noise and noise gradually sounded.
Curry sat down on the floor, gasping for breath, and almost vomited blood. Seeing everyone in the Clippers celebrating happily, he simply lay flat completely. He had tried his best.
Clay put his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky. They lost the match point in the Western Conference semifinals. They came back against the wind. Can the Western Conference Finals be played again?
After Li Ze finished the handshake with the Warriors players, he gave his teammates a high-five to celebrate. Seeing that Clay was still looking up at the sky, he immediately teased:
"I came to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, so I can just go home and have a look. I have already prepared tickets for the finals for you!"
"3:2, not 4:2, I will win, and I will give you a few tickets to the finals later!"
Clay punched Li Ze angrily, and the two whispered, and finally Li Ze found that the Warriors seemed to be missing one person:
"Where did the Stephens go?"
Clay inspected the circle, finally shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly:
"Maybe I'm in a bad mood, so I went back to the locker room early!"
The sports media at the scene couldn't hold back at this time, and ran to Li Ze's side, handed the microphone, and took pictures. Some people even shouted excitedly:
"Kayce, you made new history tonight! God, unbelievable!"
"We need an interview, Kayce accept my interview!"
"."
Although the last quarter of the game was not very good, the commentator Mike Breen didn't care about these details at this time:
"9 of 6 in a single quarter, Kayce scored 6 three-pointers in the fourth quarter!"
“全场34中23，三分线外12中8，罚球10中10，砍下64分12篮板8助攻2抢断2盖帽3失误！”
"This broke the single-game playoff scoring record set by Michael Jordan and Kayce himself in 1986. Incredible performance!"
Mark Jackson noticed that Li Ze's time came to 46 minutes, and he was speechless for a while, and the Warriors were overwhelmed:
"Congratulations to the Clippers for getting the match point. Increasing the rotation is the right choice. The Warriors still have a chance."
Jeff Van Gundy no longer cared about the performance of the Warriors at this time, and entered the Li Zechuan mode again:
"Maybe we should interview Michael, his records are being broken one by one, Kayce opened a new era!"
"."
At the press conference after the game, various sports reporters failed to see Curry, until the Warriors team reporter broke the news that Curry was in the hospital!
After the game, Curry, who was lying on the floor, did not get up. The team doctor noticed something was wrong and hurried Curry back to the locker room.
In the end, Curry, who was completely exhausted, had to go to the hospital for an infusion. When Ayesha took her daughter to see Curry, the situation has improved a lot:
"Stop fighting, you can't play 43 minutes every game!"
Curry teased his precious daughter, looked at the nervous Ayesha, smiled, and finally responded simply:
"I want to win, I want to play in the finals, the game the day after tomorrow, if I can, I even want to play the whole game!"
"."
Draymond Green is not as careless as Clay. He has long noticed something wrong with his thigh and came to the hospital to visit Curry immediately:
"We're going to reverse the series again, get some rest, Steph!"
Curry nodded, but thought of Li Ze's physical condition, but in the end he didn't respond:
"Physical gap? What a talent to envy."
Li Ze, who returned to the hotel, was not as relaxed as everyone imagined. In order to pretend to be X, he kept his face paralyzed most of the time. In fact, the continuous response of the super badge almost made his physical fitness bottom out.
With another overtime, Li Ze felt that he would be overdrawn.
Lying on the big bed, scrolling through Twitter, and replying to the news from the superficial brothers, Li Ze's thoughts flew to his own attributes:
"Sure enough, the attribute of over a hundred three-pointers is still needed, and the efficiency of +2 is limited"
On America's social media, the excited fans all liked and shared the data poster released by the NBA for the first time:
"64 points in a single game in the playoffs, the only one in history! # Witness the great # Young King (crown.jpg)"
In the TNT studio, host Ernie Johnson was still commenting on the game:
"Win the battle of Tianwangshan, the Clippers took the initiative again, Chuck, do you still think the Warriors will win the series?"
"."
Charles Barkley felt that he was poisonous, and the Warriors were about to collapse. He held back for a long time, and finally changed the subject:
"I also scored 56 points, Kayce is only 8 points more than me!"
Kenny Smith took over the topic with a smile at this time:
"Chuck, by the end of this year's playoffs, we will know how many 50+ times Kayce will have. I'm even looking forward to 60+!"
"In terms of scoring ability, no one can match Kayce!"
O'Neill was dumbfounded tonight, but he didn't tout Li Ze's scoring ability:
"Believe me, Kayce will succeed in any era. I am willing to share the title of "Superman" with him. Such physical ability is too terrifying."
The host Ernie Johnson saw the three expressed their opinions one after another, and asked again:
"Guys, which team do you think will win the Western Conference Finals?"
"I don't know, the Warriors are strong, but Kayce's performance is really unpredictable!"
