The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 327 The method of cracking
Thompson tossed and turned all the way out of the penalty area, and Green and Bogut closed the door for him again.

After Butler was blocked, he could only watch Thompson catch the ball and complete a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

With this three-pointer, the Warriors overtook the score.

"FXXK!"

Seeing this scene, Butler couldn't help but curse out loud.

The players of the Kings were playing very hard at this time, and they couldn't help being irritable if they didn't want to!
"Calm down, as long as we hold our ground, we will still have the advantage!"

Seeing that his teammates were impatient and even made a mistake in the attack, Li Pu reminded them.

The Warriors' elevator door tactic itself is quite annoying, after all, it contains a kind of unfairness and inequality.

Although you can't see it on weekdays, at this critical moment, every time you use it successfully, it will drive you crazy.

Li Pu's reminder obviously didn't work very well. Looking back, the Kings made another mistake and were hit by the Warriors' counterattack.

Coach Brown then requested a timeout.

Just one tactic can change the situation immediately, this is the role of the coach!

At this time, the pressure was on Coach Brown. He also felt that the Warriors' tactics were very tricky at this time, after all, he had no experience in dealing with them.

At this moment, Li Puxian said: "This tactic is difficult to defend, I think it can only rely on me or Giannis' defense!"

"Then what if the opponent's big man takes the opportunity to go down?"

"Me and the other of Giannis go to help defend!"

In a few words, Li Pu gave an actionable method.

After hearing this, Coach Brown just nodded and said, "Just do as you say!"

Anyway, there is no better way now, let's just be a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
At this moment, Brown felt the joy of Tyronn Lue!
After the timeout, the Kings still have the ball.

Relying on his height, Li Pu made a mid-range hit to help the team stop the bleeding.

But offense is one aspect, and the next thing that will really test them is defense!
Curry started from the bottom line along the middle again, obviously planning to use the elevator door tactic!
Li Pu was silently preparing in the crowd at this time, and when Bogut and Green closed the door, he immediately ran from the other side of Bogut to the outside.

When Curry received the ball and was about to shoot, Li Pu swung his long arms and rushed over.

"boom!"

Li Pu once again completed the blocking of Curry!

This is the second time in Li Pu's career that he blocked Curry's three-pointer!

After the block was completed, the Warriors players were obviously stunned. Li Pu took the opportunity to accept the basketball and quickly advanced.
Although Curry retreated immediately, it is almost impossible to expect him to defend against Li Pu's fast break!

In the end, it ended with a dunk by Li Pu, and the point difference between the two teams returned to 1 point.

The successful defense of the Kings this time has undoubtedly declared that they have officially cracked the elevator door tactic, and the Warriors will no longer use the elevator door tactic.

Sure enough, in the next round, the Warriors changed their tactics and returned to their regular Curry and Green pick-and-roll again!

In this way, it also announced that the Warriors had given up their original tactics, and the two sides fell into anxiety again.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 86:83, and the Kings led by 3 points.

At the last moment of this quarter, the Kings defended the Warriors for two consecutive rounds and scored one of the goals.

But even so, the Kings still lead the point difference to three points.

After the game entered the fourth quarter, the defense of both sides increased to another level.

However, due to the huge physical exertion of both sides, the hit rate was not even as good as in the third quarter.

This is not only on the bench, but even when the starters come back!
Time is being consumed bit by bit, and the point difference between the two teams has been hovering between 1 point and 3 points.

Such a situation is very unfavorable to the Warriors!
After all, the Warriors are the one behind!
Curry gritted his braces, dribbled the ball, and observed the situation on the court.

Right now the team is only 3 points away, and a three-pointer can be done. The key is that the Kings defend the three-pointer very tightly, and they don't give themselves a chance to make a three-pointer.

And if I force myself to make a shot, I'm afraid there won't be enough time to grab the rebound when the time comes!
Tangled, very tangled!

At this time, Curry hesitated, which attack method should he choose?

At this moment, he saw Green winking at him while moving towards the top of the arc. He immediately understood, handed the ball to Green, and then ran towards the weak side corner.

Seeing this, Bledsoe quickly followed.

After Green held the ball, he didn't stay long, passed the ball to Barnes on the strong side, and then ran to the weak side himself, and came to the weak side with Bogut.

At the same time, Curry began to move, and then, Curry was seen running between the two, and the two closed the door immediately!

Who said that elevator tactics can only be played with the ball?

You can still play without the ball!
After Bledsoe was blocked, Curry became unguarded again, so he came to the weak side at 45 degrees, Barnes passed the ball, and Curry immediately chose a three-pointer after receiving the ball!

But at this moment, Curry found that Li Pu had appeared in front of him at some point.

"you……"

Seeing that Li Pu's big hand was getting closer and closer to him, Curry quickly adjusted the arc to avoid Li Pu's block.

It's just such a reluctant shot, even Curry can't guarantee the hit rate!
Sure enough, the basketball bounced out of the basket, but didn't go in!
Since the Warriors have all been transferred inside, Thompson can only rely on Thompson to grab rebounds at the basket. How can he grab Butler?

So, the rebound was protected by Butler.

When Butler just landed, Thompson immediately stepped forward to foul and sent Butler to the free throw line.

With Butler making two free throws, the Kings finally secured the victory.

With the final score of 106:101, the Kings narrowly won by 5 points and won the first victory of the series at home.

In this game, only Curry scored 20 points in the Warriors, but no five players in the team scored in double figures. Although there was no offensive that exploded, the team's offensive was still fully displayed.

Of course, the same is true for the king who is the winner!

A total of 7 of them scored in double figures, and only Li Pu scored 20+.

The two sides played very fiercely from defense to offense. It seems that this round of the series should be a tit-for-tat game.

Only two days after defeating the Warriors, the two teams ushered in the second game in Saskatchewan.

However, this time, the Kings did not give the Warriors a chance and directly beat the Warriors 117:100.

In this game, the Warriors made only 28 of 10 three-pointers. It can be said that the Kings completely restricted the Warriors' three-pointers, even if the Warriors used the elevator door tactics.

For a while, the Warriors fell into a desperate situation. If they return to the home court and lose again, I am afraid that their round of the series will stop here.
