The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 303 Unstoppable
At 36:16, the Kings beat the Warriors by 20 points in the third quarter!
In this move, the Kings not only tied the score, but even overtook the Warriors by 9 points!
The reason why the Kings were able to overtake the score in this quarter was mainly because of their defense.

The Kings used Li Pu's excellent defensive ability, as well as the excellent one-on-one defense and switch defense ability of the rest of the team, to give the Warriors the greatest defensive pressure on the outside. After all, the Warriors are now a team that has just changed tactics and has many shortcomings. That's why the Warriors' offense stagnated.

After limiting the Warriors' offense, the Kings can counterattack and play a simple offense, so that everything goes smoothly.

On the contrary, the Warriors will be impatient because the offense is not going well, and they will make a lot of forced shots and passes. .

It can be said that although the Warriors' technical and tactical capabilities have reached the level of a championship team, their mentality and experience still need to be honed. This is also true for the Kings, even less than the Warriors.

After all, this is a lineup that was only formed last year and is still young!
But the Kings have one thing that the Warriors don't have, that is, the core player Li Pu has more experience in the playoffs than Curry, which allows him to make the most correct choice in the most difficult environment.

Green broke through with the ball and passed it back to Curry on the outside. After receiving the ball, Curry feinted and made a back pass to Thompson not far away.

However, the two did not communicate well. At this time, Thompson was preparing to cut inside, causing the ball to fly directly off the court and fell into the hands of Seth Curry on the bench.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing Seth on the bench holding the ball in a daze, the audience burst into laughter.

Such a low-level mistake has appeared more than once for the Warriors.

In turn, the Kings are playing steadily.

After Butler came to the frontcourt, he firmly handed the ball to Li Pu inside.

Although Butler's technology is not gorgeous, it is very practical, and he can choose the most correct method at any time.

For example, in this ball, the opponent's position is relatively loose, which is conducive to Li Pu's one-on-one duel inside!

Sure enough, Li Pu, who got the ball, turned around and hooked before the opponent's help defense arrived, and easily scored!

The point difference is further expanding!
In this way, by the end of the third quarter, the Warriors had reached the most dangerous moment.

Although they are at their own home court, there are a lot of voices cheering for the king and Li Pu off the court. On the other hand, the team's mentality is out of balance, which makes their morale a little low.

In this way, the game entered the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Curry sat off the court as usual, with Thompson and Green leading the team.

Because the Warriors' David Lee was injured and unable to play, Speights was not capable enough, so the Warriors had shortcomings in the bench lineup, which could only extend Green's playing time.

However, the performance of the two was not as good as expected. Thompson was not allowed to make three-pointers tonight, and Green's offensive ability was limited. The team's offensive banner fell to "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa and Livingston.

Although Barbosa is not tall, he is much taller than Thomas Jr., coupled with his extremely fast speed, it is not difficult to break through Thomas Jr.!
On the other side, Livingston is a tall point guard with a height of 201cm. Although his long-range shooting ability is not good, but with his excellent passing vision and low turnaround jumper, he can score in front of Thornton.

Plus, the two are so fun to play together!
The short Barbosa plays more like a shooting guard, and the taller Livingston plays more like a point guard. If the two are used alone, their advantages and disadvantages are obvious, but together, they can complement each other. .

Therefore, relying on the performance of this pair of backcourt double guns, the Warriors were on par with the Kings at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

But that alone is not enough to get the Warriors out of trouble, after all, they are the one behind!
Offensive alone is not enough, they have to be able to defend against the king!
With the growth of Covington and the addition of Jokic in the Kings this season, coupled with Thomas Jr. and Thornton, who performed well last season, the strength of the team's bench has become very terrifying, not worse than the starters of some weak teams !
In this case, even if the Warriors work hard in the backcourt, at most they can maintain the score and cannot close the score.

In this way, until Curry came back, the point difference still hovered around 10 points.

Curry, who returned, immediately showed the strength of his team leader.

First, he assisted Barnes to hit a three-pointer, and then he made a steal and made a layup, reducing the score to 5 points again.

At the critical moment, Coach Brown quickly called a timeout, and after the timeout ended, he took Li Pu back.

With Li Pu hitting the hook, the point difference stabilized!

Today's coach Brown, as long as he encounters a problem that cannot be solved, he will go to Li Pu!
As if with Li Pu, there are no problems at all!
Facing Giannis' defense from the outside, Curry missed a three-pointer!
The rebound was pocketed by Li Pu.

With Li Pu's return, the Kings' defense became indestructible again. No matter inside or outside, the Warriors couldn't find a good way to break through.

After Curry missed a shot, Bledsoe took the ball to the frontcourt, and after a pick-and-roll with Li Pu, he split the ball. Li Pu turned around and threw it and made a hit!

People over 220cm tall are here to play throwing, can you show some face?How to prevent this?
With this attack and one defense, the point difference returned to double digits. At this time, there was only one minute left in the game, and the Warriors' general situation was over.

In the end, the game time came to an end in Bledsoe's dribble.

At 107:95, the Kings defeated the Warriors in an away game, extending their winning streak to six games, and at the same time gave the Warriors their first defeat of the season.

In this game, Curry scored a game-high 28 points and 10 assists. His performance is not bad!

In addition, Green, Thompson, Barbosa and Barnes also scored in double figures.

But it is a pity that the team only scored 95 points, which is far lower than the usual scoring efficiency.

This shows that they did not perform well in the face of the Kings' defense.

On the other hand, for the Kings, although Li Pu, the highest scorer, "only" scored 22 points and 20 rebounds, except for him, 6 players scored in double figures and 10 players scored in double figures.

It seems to play more team than the Warriors!Everyone even thinks that the Kings won the game before they made any effort.

After this game, the Kings won 7 consecutive victories and continued to rank first in the league.

The fans exclaimed, who can stop the Kings from winning?
