Chapter 685: The Warriors Will Win!

"Dwyane, it seems that the guys in Oakland are still very strong." James stared at the screen and said disapprovingly to Wade on the side. On the screen, a stadium dominated by black and white was filled with people.

, from a long shot, you can vaguely see several players walking towards the court.

"Of course, LeBron, I think it's not easy for the Spurs now." Wade also stared at the screen and said.

The Spurs are indeed not feeling relaxed now. They were dragged into the tiebreaker by the Warriors. Although they have the home court advantage, the state and fighting spirit displayed by the Warriors in Game 6 still forced them to deal with it carefully.

"We must do a better job of defending Yang and not let him attack at will like in the last game. This plays a very important role in whether we can win the final victory..." The camera switched and the screen cut out

A shot was taken of Duncan being interviewed before the game.[

The reason why Duncan emphasized this is because Yang Shuai scored an exaggerated 52 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in Game 6.

He scored 15 points in the first quarter, 8 points in the second quarter, and 17 points in the third quarter. After three quarters, Yang Shuai had already raised his score to 40 points. Entering the fourth quarter, Yang Shuai's offensive firepower was not there.

Weakened, the team scored 12 points in a single quarter to firmly secure the victory and also increased its score to 52.

This is the second time in his career that Yang Shuai has scored 50 points in a single game in the playoffs. The first time was in the second game of last season's Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. The difference was that the Warriors lost that game, and this one

In the game, Yang Shuai used his own scoring to help the team win.

Since Iverson left for Turkey this season, Yang Shuai has become the only active player to score 50 points more than twice in the playoffs, and his 52 points is also the highest score in a single game by an active player in the playoffs.

.

As Duncan mentioned in the interview, for the Spurs, how to restrict Yang Shuai from playing as hotly as he did on the field is a key factor in their victory.

"Beep!" Amidst the shouts of Spurs fans, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals officially began.

At the beginning of the game, Yang Shuai quickly realized the Spurs' determination to defend him. Popovich was obviously determined to prevent Yang Shuai from scoring, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to leave the rest of the Warriors players open in some rounds.

With his body struggling with Jefferson, Yang Shuai tried his best to raise his hand to catch Hinrich's pass, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the basket.

"Porphyry!" Yang Shuai had just started and was forced to stop. In front of him, Duncan and McDyess appeared at the same time, causing him to instantly fall into the trap of the three of them.

The defense of the three was very tight. Even with Yang Shuai's passing skills, he could not easily throw the ball to Jamison outside the three-point line on the right.

When Yang Shuai passed the ball to Hinrich and then to Jamison, the Spurs' defense already had time to buffer, and Jamison, who was disturbed, shot out of the basket.

At the other end, the Spurs' offense was handed over to Duncan. Ginobili ran and pulled the ball past Evans' defense and rushed to the basket. Then he passed the ball back to Duncan. Duncan caught the ball and went up.

The basket was successful.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and the Warriors paused.

"The Warriors encountered some problems. They were severely guarded by the Spurs. Young and his teammates failed to show the same touch as in the last game..."

The Warriors did encounter a problem, and it was a big problem. Halfway through the first quarter, they only scored 8 points. Yang Shuai was severely guarded and had to face more than two defenders almost every time he held the ball.

The player's offense was greatly affected. In the first half of the offense, he only scored 2 points in four shots.

The Spurs' defense indeed showed a completely different intensity from the previous games. While double-teaming Yang Shuai, they also did a very good job in defensive rotation of the rest of the Warriors' players, especially the Warriors' perimeter defense. In a few minutes,

The Warriors failed to hit a three-pointer.

Among the 8 points scored by the Warriors, Evans scored 4 points. He became the most normal player for the Warriors, scoring 4 points in three shots.

While defending the Warriors' offense, the Spurs' offense was going very well. In half a quarter, the Spurs had already scored 18 points. After only playing half of the first quarter and falling behind by 10 points, Nelson naturally had to make necessary adjustments.

Channing Frye replaced Jamison, and Nelson also made appropriate adjustments to the lineup when making tactical arrangements.[

Back on the court, Hinrich handed the ball to Yang Shuai again. As soon as Yang Shuai caught the ball, two defensive players appeared beside him. Without dribbling, Yang Shuai quickly passed the ball to Evans.

After receiving the ball, Evans rushed to the basket and got a chance to foul. He made two free throws and finally raised the Warriors' score to 10.

To increase Evans' offensive opportunities, this is the tactical adjustment that Nelson made, using Yang Shuai to attract defensive attention and allowing Evans to participate more in the offense.

Evans' condition is indeed quite normal. After Nelson's adjustments, the Warriors' offense also improved, but they still failed to prevent the Spurs' offense.

At 19:31, after the first quarter, the Warriors trailed by 12 points. Seeing this score, Warriors fans became suspicious. Facing a team like the Spurs, a 12-point hole was not easy to fill.

After only two minutes of rest in the second quarter, Yang Shuai came on the court again, and he also consciously increased his shots. He knew very well that if he could not attack effectively in the Spurs' double-team, it would be impossible for his teammates to chase points alone.

Don't talk about winning.

At this time, Yang Shuai couldn't help but secretly regret in his heart. If he could completely pass the two-person double team in the space limit training at this time, maybe it would be easier to attack.

It is not easy to keep the shooting percentage above 50% when faced with double teams by two very good defensive players. Yang Shuai's ability at this time is still a little short of being able to pass the first level of extreme training.

More importantly, Yang Shuai's own touch was not very good today. This is why Yang Shuai consciously increased his shots. He must find his touch as soon as possible.

The second quarter has passed halfway in the blink of an eye. The ratio between the players of both sides is still 12 points. The Warriors' offense in this quarter has improved compared to the first quarter. They have already scored 13 points in half a quarter, but the Spurs' offense is still

Strong, this also makes the Warriors close to the point difference.

Yang Shuai stopped in front of Parker, but his opponent had no intention of attacking with the ball at this time. Instead, his eyes were focused on Ginobili and Jefferson who were preparing to run. The baseline suddenly reversed.

Running, Jefferson rushed out of the three-pointer, and the ball in Parker's hand also came forward at this time.

"Bang!" Hinrich's defense was timely, and due to interference from his defense, Jefferson's shot came out of the basket.

"Tyson, be careful!" Chandler grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Yang Shuai shouted at this time. Unfortunately, Yang Shuai's shouting failed to remind Chandler and Ginobili to run away in time.

Go to the basket and quickly cut the ball out of Chandler's hand.

What happened next made Yang Shuai frown slightly. Ginobili jumped directly after picking up the ball, causing Chandler to foul.

Ginobili made two free throws to widen the difference between the two teams to 14 points. At the other end, Hinrich did not find a good opportunity to hand the ball to Yang Shuai, and the ball fell directly into the running back.

In the hands of Evans.

The ball turned into a sudden stop, and Evans slipped out of Ginobili's defense and made a mid-range jumper.

"Bang!" Evans' rhythm was very good, but the ball fell into Duncan's hands after hitting the inside of the basket. The cheers on the scene became louder at this time. Affected by the momentum of the home court, the Spurs

Players also seem to be getting more excited.

Outside the right three-point line, Ginobili received the ball and hit a three-pointer in a not-so-good shooting opportunity.

"Spurs! Spurs!" The shouts of the Spurs at home almost shook the entire arena. Parker's throw made the difference between the two teams reach 20 at 2 minutes and 04 seconds before the end of the second quarter.

The Warriors launched another attack. Yang Shuai ran and received the pass in the middle distance on the right side, then feinted a shot, and then suddenly broke through and rushed to the basket.

Leaning on Jefferson, Yang Shuai changed hands in the air to avoid Duncan's defense. However, the ball hit the backboard, spun around in the basket and fell out of the basket. After landing, Yang Shuai quickly jumped up and shot out of the basket.

The ball was gently pushed into the basket.

With only 25 seconds left in the second quarter, Yang Shuai caught the ball from the left mid-range and turned around to shoot a jump shot. The ball hit the inside of the basket and fell into the basket.

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half, and Yang Shuai took the lead to walk towards the player tunnel. Although he scored 4 points in a row at the end of the second quarter, Yang Shuai did not feel at all relaxed. 44:63, after halftime

, the Warriors trailed the Spurs by 19 points.[

Entering the locker room, none of the Warriors players spoke, and the locker room fell into silence for a moment.

"Look up!" Old Nelson's roar made all the Warriors players quickly raise their heads and glanced at all the players. Old Nelson continued to roar: "The game is over? Your summer has begun? I listen.

It was the half-time whistle, not the full-time whistle!"

"What's wrong with being 19 points behind? Do you know what the biggest comeback in NBA is? 36 points! Even now in the playoffs, there are still many great comebacks. Yang, do you remember how many points the Celtics reversed against the Lakers in the 2008 Finals?

"

"22!" Yang Shuai replied quickly. He remembered that game very clearly.

Staring directly at Yang Shuai, Nelson continued to ask: "Did you give up in that game?"

"No!"

"What now?" Old Nelson raised his voice.

"No!" Yang Shuai also shouted, "I didn't give up, none of us gave up, we still have two quarters. They can win by 19 points in the half, and we can too!"

"Yes, we still have two quarters! Show your passion and strength, and don't let the Miami people watching the game laugh at the Warriors for being afraid of meeting their Big Three in the finals!"

"The warriors will win!" Old Nelson's words made Yang Shuai clenched his fists and shouted!

"The brave will win!"

"The brave will win!"

"The brave will win!"

In the visiting team's locker room, shouts rang out again and again. Amidst such roars, the fighting spirit of the Warriors players became even higher!
