The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 301 Substitute Lineup
On November 11th, the cheers at Oracle Arena in Oakland were thunderous and deafening.

Every Golden State fan has a big smile on his face.

No way, happiness came too suddenly!

When they stopped the first round for two consecutive years and dreamed of rushing to the second round of the Western Conference.

Last season, the Warriors were only the sixth in the Western Conference, but this season they are actually ranked second in the league, and judging from the impressions of the previous games, this new Warriors team is really strong!
Offensive mercury floods the ground, defense is impenetrable, really feels like a strong team!

As the two teams with the best records since the start of the league this season, they have played against each other in the playoffs before. Tonight's game will undoubtedly attract the attention of many basketball fans.

"Come on, SAC!"

"Come on, Prince!"

Like the previous playoffs, the Warriors' home court also had a lot of Li Pu's fans, some were local Chinese in San Francisco, and some were driving from Sacramento.

Looking around, they actually accounted for one-tenth of the fans in the audience!

I really don't know if this is still the home of the Warriors?

You know, not all superstars have such a huge number of fans in away games. It can be seen how influential Li Pu is today?
Among the Chinese and even Asians, his status is frighteningly high!
"As long as we beat you tonight, we will be No. [-] in the Western Conference!"

"Are you dreaming? You won't stand a chance!"

Seeing the elementary school student use his baby face to say harsh words to himself, Li Pu couldn't be afraid at all!
The Warriors fielded their regular starting lineup for the season tonight: Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green and dead man Bogut.

To be honest, after Cole's overturning operation, not only the offensive and defensive balance of the starting lineup has become much more balanced, even the offensive and defensive balance on the bench has become more balanced.

After Li Pu gave the ball to Giannis, Giannis took the ball to the frontcourt.

The Kings are the same as the Warriors. Power forwards have to hold the ball. However, compared to Green's arc-top online dealing, Giannis is an offensive threat!
I saw Giannis holding the ball, and Bledsoe stepped forward to play him a pick-and-roll, which seemed to be completely reversed.

But the effect is really good.

After the pick-and-roll, Giannis broke through quickly and faced Curry.

Poor Curry, how can I prevent Giannis from hanging up?
Pushed into the penalty area by Giannis, he turned around and layup, attracting Bogut's help defense.

Giannis took the opportunity to pass the ball to Li Pu behind Bogut, and Li Pu dunked easily!
Although the Warriors' defense is good, it is still difficult to defend against the Kings' inside line. After all, they are completely crushed regardless of their height or ability.

However, although the Warriors couldn't defend against the King's attack, neither could the King's attack!
After Curry and Green's pick-and-roll, Giannis did not complete the defense switch or flank attack in time, giving Curry room to shoot.

Curry directly chose to shoot one step away from the three-point line, and the three-pointer went into the net!

This scene directly blew up the audience!

Who would have thought that a three-pointer by Curry now would be even more effective than a dunk?
After Cole came to the Warriors, although he took away Curry's possession of the ball, he gave Curry unlimited shooting power. He can shoot whenever, wherever, and however he wants!
This kind of unorthodox shooting is almost every coach's unbearable nightmare, but Curry can make it!
It was the Kings' turn to attack again.

Lip stood near the top of the arc and handed over to Bledsoe. After holding the ball, Bledsoe attracted the Warriors to defend and then passed the ball back to Lip.

At this time, after Li Pushun came down, facing Green who came to help defend, he directly threw the ball high.

I saw Giannis behind Green immediately took off and dunked the ball directly into the basket in the air!
"Nice lob! Giannis jumps so high!"

Today, the cooperation between Li Pu and Giannis has become more and more tacit.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack again. This time after the Warriors passed consecutive cuts, Thompson faced Butler's defense and hit a mid-range jumper.

In the next few rounds, it was almost like this.

The Kings scored inside and the Warriors scored outside.

It stands to reason that the inside shooting rate should naturally be higher than the outside line, but the Warriors are too accurate. They rely on outside shots, and they have been leading alternately with the Kings, not giving in to each other.

I have to say that the emergence of the Warriors team has indeed subverted the world view of basketball. Isn't the closer the basketball is to the basket, the higher the shooting rate?
Warriors will tell you, no!
Before he finished speaking, he saw Curry leaning over and throwing a three-pointer against Butler.

Such a fairy goal makes people really speechless, can this be scored?

With Curry's three-pointer, the Warriors expanded the score to 5 points.

Prior to this, Kings fans did not put the Warriors in their eyes.

It's just a defeated player. It's just luck that we didn't lose at the start of the game. It's different when we meet us!

However, after the actual fight, it was discovered that the opponent didn't seem to be weak?

The Warriors are not weak?
At this time, the Kings players on the court felt the strength of the Warriors. How strong is it?

No matter how they defend, the opponent will always find a way to put the ball into the basket. It's an evil goal. How can it be so accurate?

Seeing this situation, Li Pu knew it was time to act himself!
Unlike the old king, this king's attack is not limited to Princeton!

Behind the so-called egalitarianism, if the team really needs to score the most and the tactics can't run, Li Pu will stand up and take over the game.

Such a superstar is something that the old king did not have!
After Li Pu asked for the ball from the low post, he resolutely chose to turn around and hook in the face of the Warriors' double-team. While putting the ball into the basket, he also caused a foul by Bogut.

This is a "2+1"!
After that, Li Pu made another mid-range shot, which finally evened the score!
Of course, this kind of situation won't last for a long time. It's only the first quarter at this time, and it's impossible for Li Pu to keep exerting his strength like this until the end of the game.

Soon the two sides entered the rotation lineup.

Tonight, Li Pu didn't leave the game with more than two minutes left in the first quarter like in the previous games when he beat his opponent. Instead, he stayed on the court and prepared to play the whole game.

Except for Li Pu and Middleton, the other three players were replaced.

It wasn't Jason Thompson who replaced Giannis, but Covington.

Let Covington play the fourth position and continue to enhance the team's mobile defensive ability.

On the other hand, the Warriors have a larger rotation than the Kings. They left Curry on the court and replaced the other four as substitutes, namely: Livingston, Iguodala, Speights and Ezeli!

On the bench lineup, the Warriors are equally strong.
