Chapter 384 Great War!

Steve Kerr did not call a timeout, indicating that Curry would stick to the pick-and-roll strategy. Pick-and-roll and pass-and-cut tactics are tactics with a high turnover rate. To reduce turnovers, reducing passing is the key, but mistakes like being intercepted are not normal. , so Cole chose to believe in the players.

Curry became cautious. The point difference has reached 12 points. The Warriors can no longer make mistakes. The Warriors are certainly a team with a very strong offensive explosive power. Any explosion by himself and Thompson can erase the gap of more than ten or twenty points in a short time. , but their opponent is Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin's terrifying scoring ability is not inferior to that of him and Thompson, and what is even more frightening is that he and Thompson rely on the timing of the explosion, but Zhang Xin is different. He is like It is a scoring machine that can break out anytime and anywhere, depending on whether the team needs it or not. This is the experience accumulated over the past three years.

If the point difference cannot be closed now, as time goes by, they may not have a chance to break out in the end. Curry's face began to become stern, without the casualness and fatigue at the beginning, the slack and burnout were swept away, and the basketball in his hand The sound of hitting the ground became louder and faster, like the drums on the battlefield. This also inspired the teammates, and the expressions of Iguodala, Thompson and others gradually became dignified.

Brogdon sniffled and felt that the air had changed. He looked around inexplicably, and saw the solemn expressions of the soldiers of the Warriors, and his heart skipped a beat: Is the Warriors serious now?
Once the Warriors got serious, their aura was completely different, and even the strength of kicking the ground appeared different. The overall speed of the Warriors increased, and the off-ball screens became more efficient. As soon as the rhythm accelerated, the experience of the young Suns showed inadequacy. Well, Devin Booker was blocked by Green on the bottom line, opened the distance from Thompson, and was about to take a big stride to catch up, but was blocked by Barnes again, and was completely blocked at once. Hilde, who arrived at Barnes, did not go to Thompson in time. The moment the rabbit rose and fell, Curry gave the ball to Thompson in the bottom corner, and Thompson hit a three-pointer with a knife.

Looking back, Hilder dribbled the ball across the half court. Under Curry's follow-up defense, Hilder crossed the half court with the help of the width of the court. Hilder was trying to hoist the ball into Zhang Xin in the low post. He defended around the front to prevent Zhang Xin from catching the ball easily. Hilder hesitated a bit. Curry saw the flaw, cut off Hilder's basketball with a slap, and directly grabbed the conversion layup and succeeded. The point difference was narrowed to 7 points .

Steve Kerr breathed a sigh of relief, showing a reserved smile, turned around and sat down in the chair, crossed his hands and propped his chin with his thumbs, quietly watching the development of the situation.

But Earl Watson couldn't sit still, he got up and walked around twice anxiously, his expression was a little restless, but he didn't call a timeout easily, after all, Zhang Xin was still on the court, he had to look at Zhang Xin even if he was in a hurry At least Zhang Xin has not signaled him to suspend the decision, presumably Zhang Xin will handle it himself.

Zhang Xin was indeed not in a hurry, the warrior at the beginning was not a real warrior at all, it was just a napping tiger, this is a normal warrior, but Zhang Xin was not in a hurry either, the warrior exerting strength at this time is good for the sun, The Warriors will eventually break out, and it is still the first quarter. Whether the breakout is equalizing or overtaking the Suns at this time, at least there is still a lot of time to catch up. If it breaks out in the third or fourth quarter, it will be bad. The Suns may The game ended without even having time to catch up.

This is just to test the effect of the Suns' defense during this period of time. The defense just now is the effect of the Warriors' sudden increase in intensity. He believes that when young people adapt to the intensity, they will do better.

Zhang Xin loudly imparted experience to Bro Gordon and Hield: "Don't just focus on your own defenders, you must also pay attention to the opponent's off-ball screens. You must grasp the movements of your defenders and understand what they are going to do. It is a pick-and-roll. You still have to catch the ball and learn to judge, so that you can react in time when changes occur!"

Bro Gordon and Hilde responded loudly: "Boss, I understand!"

Zhang Xin nodded, holding the ball for half court, the Warriors' defensive strategy changed, and he had to respond accordingly. He wanted to force the Warriors to pinch him from the outside. He beckoned Hield to pick and roll, but Hield was useless. The pick-and-roll method, but the method of forcing the Warriors to switch defenses, blocked Iguodala firmly, and Zhang Xin bypassed Hield sideways. Curry knew that Zhang Xin could not directly attack him. Although Curry practiced the skills of switching defenses with Zhang Xin countless times, it was difficult to really defend Zhang Xin. He couldn't let Zhang Xin easily single him, and rushed directly to force Zhang Xin to make a mistake.

Seeing Curry rushing up, Zhang Xin dribbled the ball behind Curry and Hield. Green was shocked and rushed up to change defense. Zhang Xin passed the ball to Tucker from the bottom corner of Tucker. Three-point shot, hit!
Earl Watson quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he can score, the Warriors will have no way to close the score. Just like the Warriors are vigilant against Zhang Xin, Earl Watson's vigilance towards the Warriors is the deepest , The impressive lineup of the Warriors who have won three consecutive championships is very oppressive for that team.

The Warriors and the Suns continued their confrontational posture. When the Warriors score a goal, the Suns will return one. If the Suns counterattack, the Warriors will definitely recover with a firm attack. You will fight yours, and I will fight mine. , the Warriors insisted on playing fast, and the Suns desperately pressed the rhythm to prevent the Warriors from easily bringing up the speed. In the second quarter, Earl Watson replaced Hilde and Rajon Rondo to control the rhythm. Under Rondo's control, it is difficult for the Warriors to bring up the interpretation, but the offense and defense of both sides are also very tense, and the audience is holding their breath and their hearts are jumping out of their hearts.

One side has to play fast, and the other side has to play slowly. The fast and slow rhythm makes the audience very uncomfortable. The more fans who understand the game, the more uncomfortable it is, such as Su Qun.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the intermission, Su Qun let out a heavy breath: "It's too uncomfortable to watch. The rhythm is fast and slow, and I can't get my head around it, but it's uncomfortable. It's really hard to watch." Refreshing, very refreshing!"

Wang Meng also nodded fiercely: "It turns out that Mr. Su also feels the same way. I feel so depressed watching this game. This kind of game is really exciting. This may be the most exciting game of this season. When you meet your opponent, you are like your best friend. It's you who throws a stalk, and the other can be picked up without even thinking about it. The same is true for the game. The best game is when the chess is evenly matched. With Zhang Xin, the sun is already qualified to wrestle with the warriors. The level of the first two quarters can already be described as a great battle!"
