The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 267 All members blossom

Although it was expected that this game would be difficult to play, Curry did not expect it to be so difficult to play!
As soon as Curry passed the half court, Bledsoe would stick to him, whether he had the ball or not.

This is what Li Pu specifically told Bledsoe before the game.

Although in terms of age, Bledsoe is older than Li Pu, but Bledsoe is convinced by Li Pu's words and dare not not listen.

At this time, although Curry has gradually entered his peak period, his body is still relatively thin, so his confrontation has always been a big problem.

On the other hand, Bledsoe, who is facing him, is like a small steel cannon, completely unafraid of confrontation.

And the speed is so fast, no matter how Curry gets rid of it, Bledsoe can catch up in an instant.

At this time, Curry held the ball, looked at other teammates on the field, and found that the rest of the team was also suffocated by the Kings defense, and there was no chance at all. This made Curry really feel the terrible defense of the Kings. .

They also played against each other in the regular season, but in the playoffs, their defense has become stronger!

The Kings start with five players, and everyone's defensive level is excellent, tough, and not afraid of physical confrontation. Compared with a jump-shooting team like the Warriors, it seems that the newcomer Kings in the playoffs are playing more in line with the intensity of the playoffs.

In addition to excellent one-on-one defense, there is a defensive core like Li Pu in the Kings. In addition to being able to single-handedly defend the inside core of other teams, he can also help defend the whole team, using his height, wingspan, and excellent mobility. The ability to cover almost all areas within the three-point line under his own defense.

While speaking, David Lee's hook was slapped out by Li Pu again.

Since Giannis is also a spider-man attribute, although he is thin, he can entangle David tightly, making David need to make more and bigger movements than usual when attacking the basket.

In this way, Li Pu was given more time to help defend, which led to David Lee encountering Li Pu's second block in less than half a quarter of the game.

Fortunately, the ball flew out and landed in Curry's hands.

After Curry received the ball, he made a fake move to deceive Bledsoe, then took a step sideways, made a three-pointer, and made a hit!
Thanks to Curry's three-pointer from the outside tonight, the Warriors were not completely opened by the Kings.

However, the Warriors managed to score a goal. Looking back, Butler pushed Thompson for a layup.

These two are both first-round picks in 11. Although Thompson's talent is higher, but at present, the statistics of the two seem to be similar, both averaging about 18 points per game, and both are the team's second scoring point. .

However, judging from this game, it is clear that Butler is the one who played better.

With this goal scored, the score of the two teams has reached 31:20, and the Kings continue to maintain an 11-point lead.

After that, Thompson missed a three-pointer, and the first quarter ended.

For the playoffs, the Kings chose to shorten the rotation from the beginning of this game.

There are only eight people in rotation, and in addition to the starting five, only Thomas Jr., Thornton and Jason Thompson played.

On the other hand, the Warriors are not soft at all when changing players.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Jackson actually replaced Curry and David Lee. Those who didn't know thought they were ahead!

At this time, the Warriors' lineup on the court is Blake, Jordan Crawford, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green and Marreese Speights.

It can be seen that the depth of the Warriors' lineup is indeed better than that of the Kings, but when you are on this occasion, people are desperate, and you are still so unhurried, don't you deserve to be beaten?
Sure enough, in just 2 minutes, the Kings widened the point difference to 15 points.

Seeing this, Jackson quickly brought Curry back.

With Curry scoring a layup with a high rebound, he finally helped the Warriors stabilize the situation.

When Thomas Jr. defended Curry, his height was too disadvantageous.

In this case, Coach Brown also immediately chose to substitute, and he was more ruthless than Jackson, directly taking both Bledsoe and Lip.

Li Pu returned to the court and used a hook inside to score again for the Kings.

The inside line of the Warriors, no matter who they send to the field, can't match Li Pu.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack. Facing Bledsoe's entanglement, Curry managed to get rid of it with the help of a pick-and-roll. He chose to layup again, but was blocked by Li Pu's nail plate cap.

With Li Pu in the King's penalty area, it is difficult for the Warriors to score inside.

After the king defended the ball, Li Pu handed the ball to Bledsoe, and then ran to the frontcourt.

Chasing Dream Green and Speights are not as tall as Li Pu, and they can't even catch up with Li Pu in speed.

It's outrageous!
In this case, although the Warriors retreated quickly and blocked Bledsoe in time.

But Bledsoe made a pass back and returned the ball to Li Pu. Li Pu easily dunked the ball and scored again!

Then, Curry missed a three-pointer after catching the ball. In turn, the Kings Li Pu hit a three-pointer. With Li Pu coming back and scoring 7 points in a row, the point difference was further expanded to 20 points.

This is not over yet, in the following time, the Kings continued to expand their lead, scoring 36 points in the second quarter, leading the Warriors by 67 points at halftime 41:26.

Who would have imagined that the Warriors, who were more predicted before the game, would be defeated by the Kings in half the game?
After entering the second half, the Warriors' offense finally recovered. Except for Curry, everyone else on the team also began to score.

However, although they can score, so can the Kings!
The Kings perimeter tonight gave Li Pu a lot of help.

Whenever Li Pu is flanked and the ball is distributed, no matter who is on the team, he can put the ball into the basket.

Thompson hit a three-pointer here, but looking back, Middleton also hit a three-pointer and returned the color.

In this way, the Warriors score and the Kings also score, and it is difficult for the Warriors to narrow the difference.

This led to the fact that although the Warriors scored 32 points in the third quarter, the Kings scored an exaggerated 38 points. At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 105:73, and the point difference further expanded to 32 points.

In this case, the fourth quarter has almost no meaning to compare.

So in the fourth quarter, both sides put on pure substitute lineups, and the game was announced to end early.

Even in the second half of the fourth quarter, the Kings even replaced Thomas Jr. and Jason Thompson, and directly replaced rookies like Seth Curry and Covington.

But even so, they are still winning.

The final score was fixed at 138:98. The Kings beat the Warriors by 40 points. Of course, it can be said that they "lost" by 18 points.

It was rare for Li Pu to clock in three quarters tonight. He scored 30 points and 35 rebounds in only 10 minutes of the game. His efficiency was astonishing.

In addition to him, the team has 6 players who scored in double figures.

People have finally seen how terrible it is for all the members of the Kings to blossom?
