From South China Tiger to NBA King

After this timeout, Cole did not go to Curry, and Stevens did not go to Jianghu. Jianghu got a rare long rest.

The Warriors made adjustments to their defensive layout. He replaced Rooney and directly sent in a smaller lineup.

After Green's pick-and-roll, it was not the center who was misplaced, but Iguodala or Green.

Of course Irving also wants to hit Green out of position, but Green's defensive dirtiness and toughness are not comparable to Rooney's.

In the first round after Irving returned from the timeout, he received a black elbow from Green when he broke through.
Green's black elbows and dirty moves were not just aimed at Irving, Rozier and Jaylen Brown also suffered some hidden losses.

Green's actions were very hidden. The referee only saw part of it, but the attentive audience could see a large part of it and booed Green crazily.

The referee saw Green's actions and didn't say anything. In his opinion, the Warriors are currently lagging behind in the series and should enjoy some preferential treatment in penalties.

If the Celtics really have the strength to win the championship, then even if they favor the Warriors, they can still win the final victory.

After Green pulled and switched to guard Irving, Irving was obviously suppressed a lot.

Then on the Warriors' offensive end, Durant seized the opportunity and started to go crazy. He beat Irving in the low post for two consecutive rounds.

Irving's height and weight are his disadvantages. Although he admires Kobe very much, he does not have Kobe's "little Malone" physique. He is more afraid of forwards like Durant who are good at post-ups. When he meets such a player, he will His disadvantages on the defensive end were naturally amplified.

The Warriors began to take the initiative on the court again.

Fans and the media can also see that Green's brutality ruined the Celtics' rhythm.

Stevens replaced Jianghu after a dead ball. At this time, the score between the two sides came to the Warriors 55 to 49 Celtics.

Upon seeing this, Cole also arranged Curry to the sidelines, ready to deal with the firepower of Jianghu.

After Jianghu came on the court, he did not immediately take over the ball, but instead attracted Green's defensive focus to himself.

Others are afraid of Green, and they have no sense of Green's defense. No matter how dirty tricks Green uses, Jianghu can save the day.

Jiang Hu walked towards Green, and the camera filmed Jiang Hu and Green to see what exciting offensive and defensive performances the two would have.

"Trash, don't you know how to play ball? You are dedicated to making trouble."

After Jiang Hu came on the field, he directly and unabashedly mocked Green, and the trash talk he said was also very heartbreaking.

"Can't help it? Do you want to hit me?"

A disdainful smile appeared on Green's lips, hoping to stimulate Jianghu and make him lose control on the court.

"Of course, but not now!"

"After the game is over, I will set up an arena and fight without rules. Do you dare to come??"

"Humph"

Seeing Jiang Hu's muscles and body, and thinking of all the weird things he had done while defending Jiang Hu during this period, Green instinctively gave in. He knew very well that he couldn't beat this guy who knew how to "golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt", so he Pretending to be casual, he distanced himself from Li Kai.

"They only bully weak losers!!"

Jiang Hu pointed his middle finger and cursed directly at Green's back.

The conversation between Jiang Hu and Green happened to be on the sidelines. Yao Ming on the sidelines also heard it. He couldn't help but give Jiang Hu a thumbs up. Even though Xiao Hua next to him looked obviously unhappy, he didn't bother to respond.

"Bloody, keep it up!!"

Yao Ming feels that the young people playing basketball nowadays are too wild. No matter who they are, they are tough and don't give in to anyone at all. This is a good thing.

He actually wanted to do this when he was a player, but he really didn't dare because the public opinion trend at that time was that China needed to be tolerant. Whether it was country-to-country diplomacy or interpersonal character, it wanted to be respectful to foreigners.

Jiang Hu gave Yao Ming a thumbs up and then looked at Green. He didn't expect Green to be so cowardly. He had seen through it. When he encountered a really tough opponent, this guy would definitely run first out of respect. When he encountered those who were weak, he would Fists and kicks.

No wonder he and Durant ended up quarreling when they could play together. It must be that he also discovered that Durant was a weakling who only dared to push but didn't dare to take action.

In the Celtics' offense, Irving held the ball on the upper line. Facing Curry's defense, Jianghu put up a screen to block Curry. Irving dribbled laterally to take away Green, and then gave the ball to Jianghu.

After Jianghu received the ball, he drove directly to Curry's left side.

His speed is quite fast, and his starting speed is almost unmatched in the entire league.

"boom!"

Curry did not lose his defensive position, but he was suppressed by Jiang Hu. Jiang Hu burst into the paint area and attracted a double attack from Iguodala and Green.

Irving in the bottom corner waved to Jianghu, Jianghu passed the ball over, Irving received the ball, and Thompson immediately nervously flew over from a distance.

Irving saw Thompson's anxiety and feinted a shot, knocking Thompson away. Then he moved sideways and dribbled the ball for a jumper.

This ball handles the swing and release rhythm very well.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc.

"Shh!"

An arrow through the heart! !

Warriors 55-52 Celtics.

Jiang Hu and Owen excitedly high-fived each other.

The fans at the North Shore Garden Arena cheered very loudly. Every goal seemed to bring the Celtics one step closer to the championship. Moreover, after Jianghu returned, the Celtics' offense seemed too smooth and comfortable.

The Warriors did not indulge in the emotions of defensive failure. For them, every second of this game is very precious. This game determines whether their season ends in tragedy or they retain hope, so they dare not slack off for a moment. .

Green received Iguodala's fast serve and sprinted forward quickly. Curry, Thompson, and Durant flew together on the three wings.

Green first gave the ball to Curry at high speed. After receiving the ball, Curry changed direction and rushed in facing Irving.

Jianghu pursued Curry without hesitation. Curry felt the defensive pressure from Jianghu. At the same time, Thompson appeared in the bottom corner.

Without even looking, Curry passed the ball directly to Thompson in the corner. The tacit understanding between the Splash Brothers allowed Thompson to catch the ball easily. Thompson's receiving position was already at a negative angle, but he still took the shot without hesitation. .

The basketball draws a beautiful arc.

"Shh!"

Thread the needle into the net.Warriors 58 to 52 Celtics.

As soon as Irving scored, Thompson immediately responded to Irving's three-pointer, and the cheers at the North Shore Garden Arena seemed to be suppressed.

In the Celtics' offense, Irving dribbled to the frontcourt and continued the pick-and-roll with Jianghu.

After the pick-and-roll, Jianghu followed suit. Irving hit the ball to Jianghu. Jianghu successfully attracted a lot of defensive attention. Iguodala, Green, and Curry all focused on Jianghu. Jianghu passed the ball decisively. , this time it was not passed to the outside, but passed inside to Horford in the three-second zone.

Horford easily scored the layup.

Warriors 58-54 Celtics
..............................

After Jiang Hu appeared in the second quarter, he was more of a containment point. When Irving felt good, he did not attack as crazy as in the first quarter. After all, this game is definitely not simple. If he can put more If his physical strength is left in the second half, it should have a greater effect.

With Jiang Hu playing, the pressure on Irving and Jaylen Brown has been reduced a lot.

Curry saw that Jiang Hu took fewer shots, and the number of his shots also dropped. He knew that Jiang Hu wanted to save his strength in the final quarter. As the star of the Warriors, he must be able to perform at that moment to match Jiang Hu's intensity.

So Irving and Durant competed against each other. Both of them are masters of one-on-one, and they have a lot of offensive confidence.

Durant continued to hit some difficult goals, and then Irving began to respond in various ways. Irving had some streetball style of play, with all kinds of fancy dribbling and passing moves at his fingertips. The fans were also very interested. Love seeing this style.

The fans were in high spirits and exclaimed that they were enjoying themselves.

At halftime, the score between the two teams was Warriors 69-64 Celtics, with the Warriors leading by 5 points on the road.

In the second quarter of the game, Irving scored 17 points in a single quarter, and Durant scored 15 points. The 711 combination, which originally joined forces with the Nets in the future, had a finals game today.

After the second half of the game started, the other Celtics outside players also felt less comfortable.

Jianghu made two consecutive breakthroughs in two rounds, and none of his teammates made open shots. On the Warriors' side, Green and Iguodala, who were deliberately given up on defense by the Celtics, both hit three-pointers one after another. .

As Thompson and Curry hit three-pointers one after another, the Celtics fell behind to 15 points at most.

At the critical moment, you still have to rely on Jianghu.

Jianghu had to step up again to take over the Celtics' offense. He first intercepted Green's pass to Curry, and then caused an offensive foul on Durant.

In both rounds, Jianghu used three-pointers from outside as a finishing method. Unfortunately, they failed to score two consecutive goals.

If he couldn't make outside shots, he simply stopped shooting. He began to get to the basket frequently, constantly throwing himself into the air, and using his body to cause fouls for his opponents.

The Warriors players were also quite ruthless. They would rather throw Jianghu down than let him succeed easily. Fortunately, Jianghu had the "injury immunity" buff, so they dared to withstand the Warriors' tough fouls and get fouled again and again.

Throughout the third quarter, Jianghu stood on the free throw line a total of 7 times and made 14 free throws. This kind of fouls was comparable to the "Western Poison" James Harden and "Eastern Evil" Anthony Davis in the foul world.

Jianghu's madness creates physical contact, followed by an escalation of friction between the players of the two teams.

Both teams were dissatisfied with the penalty. The Warriors were dissatisfied because even though they frequently smashed Jianghu from the air to the ground, they still felt that their actions were just normal defensive actions and not fouls.

The Celtics were dissatisfied that Jiang Hu was already lying on the ground rolling in pain (pretend), but the referee did not call a flagrant foul, but instead marked all fouls as common fouls.

The fans at the scene couldn't help shouting "black whistle", and Xiao Hua's originally proud face instantly turned into a donkey face.

In fact, he also wanted a fair game between the two teams. However, in the past few games, the Warriors lost too much by big scores. For the suspense of the game and the interests of the NBA, he had to play with the Celtics. People favor the Warriors at home, trying to prolong this series in their own way.

After the referee let it go, not only the Warriors players made big moves, but the Celtics also began to increase their moves.

Morris, who came on as a substitute for the Celtics, was not a good person. After taking an elbow from Green, he directly backhanded him and punched Green, resulting in his expulsion.

Even Horford, who has always been considered an honest man, couldn't help but have a face-to-face exchange with Green.

If Cole and Stevens hadn't called a timeout at the end of the quarter, the field would have almost become a full-on martial arts show, and Smart had already made plans to punch at any time.

After three quarters, the two teams were tied at 95-90, with the Warriors still leading by 5 points.

Zhang Weiping said: "Today's game is completely opposite to the previous games. The Warriors are now suppressing the Celtics. Their adjustments seem to have achieved good results."

Yu Jia said: "The Warriors were not in a hurry tonight and did not let the Celtics make transitions. They almost allowed the Celtics to attack the position with every ball. Although Jianghu's performance was still very good, it was definitely not Jianghu's highest efficiency. style of play.”

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, the biggest difference between the Warriors and the previous games is their defensive willingness and defensive resilience."

"They also tried their best on the defensive end to disrupt Jiang Hu's finish. They would rather send Jiang Hu to the free throw line than let him take a shot. This kind of defensive priority reminds me of other teams' defense of Jordan."

Yu Jia said: "Yes, the Warriors' emphasis on Jianghu has reached an extreme level, but this extreme is obviously good for their situation."

Zhang Weiping: "I think the way the game turned out has a lot to do with the referee's standards. The referee made the game more intense, which actually gave the Warriors, who were disadvantaged in size, some advantages."

"If the game is still of this standard in the fourth quarter, I suggest that the first element of Jianghu is to pay attention to your body. We don't necessarily have to achieve the final result in this game!!"

Zhang Weiping said it very tactfully, because in front of hundreds of millions of viewers across the country, he couldn't be too straightforward.

The line in his heart was actually: "Xiao Hua, you bitch, you are so shameless, can you blow such a whistle? I really want to kill you!!"

Break between festivals.

Celtic bench.

Jiang Hu was constantly panting. Although he was immune to injuries so he didn't have to worry about injuries, his frequent breakthroughs in the paint still caused his energy to drain faster than in previous games.

Therefore, he also tried his best to seize the time and have a good rest.

Because the Warriors tonight are different from the previous two games. They just play position, play rhythm, and catch mismatches round by round. Almost every attack is reasonable, which makes the Celtics defense very painful.

The Celtics' overall talent is weaker than that of the Warriors, as well as in terms of coordination. This also leads to the Warriors being able to suppress the Celtics and not allowing the Celtics to get the score back.

"Tonight's game is too difficult. Xiao Hua, a bastard, is going too far."

"Jianghu failed to explode. Irving played well in the first half, but also failed to play his due role in the second half."

"Let's see if Jianghu can break out again in the fourth quarter."

The fans were discussing the situation on the field with great interest.

The game also went very quickly, and soon it came to the last 5 minutes of the final quarter. (End of chapter)
