I’m Really Playing Basketball

At the end of the half, the Warriors led the Bucks by 11 points at halftime. Many people thought of that magical G5. As bystanders, they could all think of the Warriors' sad game. The Warriors How could I not think of it?

After all, if it weren't for that G5 game, the Warriors would have been crowned the championship at 4-1 or at most 4-2.

Therefore, during the intermission after halftime, Warriors head coach Cole was vigilant in this regard.

Moreover, the Bucks have always been relatively strong in the third quarter of this finals, so even though the Warriors led by 11 points in the first half, Cole still requires the players to be vigilant enough.

At the same time, in the locker room, Cole also asked the team's offense in the second half to go to Luo Ge, Wade and Chen Xiao.

This once again emphasizes the team's tactical discipline.

After all, most of the players on the team are accomplished stars or even superstars.

It's definitely not possible to criticize directly, so Cole's use of such a roundabout way to re-emphasize the team's tactics can be regarded as a reminder.

In the first half, the team followed the Bucks and played in a mess, which was simply eye-catching.

Because at the end of the first half, Maizi said that the first half of this game was very similar to G5, and he doubted whether the first half of this game was a conspiracy.

This caused the entire TNT studio to discuss this issue during the intermission at halftime.

O'Neal and Barkley and other members of these heavenly groups some believe it, but naturally some don't believe it. In short, they are divided into two groups and they are quarreling.

Naturally, such a quarrel is unlikely to produce any results. In the end, everything depends on how the two teams play in the second half.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors took the lead in attacking. Because the Warriors emphasized tactical discipline during the halftime break, the team's first attack in the second half was handed over to Luo Ge.

Luo Ge was singled out against Curry in the first half. Because Curry was facing a foul threat and did not dare to get too close, he deliberately pulled out to shoot a three-pointer. His height and wingspan were not as good as Luo's, and he did not get too close. This is basically Luo Ge was allowed to shoot open shots from outside the three-point line, so Luo Ge shot three-pointers very well throughout the first half.

So in the Warriors' first attack of the second half, Luo Ge repeated his old tricks.

But this time, Luo Ge missed the three-pointer.

Three-pointers are indeed not that stable. Even if the defense you face is not that big, maybe the last one scored, but this one will not.

After Luo Ge's shot, in the next round, Curry's three-point shot failed.

But soon, in the second round of the Warriors' offense, the Warriors continued to attack Luo Ge. Instead of shooting another three-pointer, Luo Ge suppressed Curry in the mid-range and hit a fadeaway jumper.

Immediately afterwards, on the Bucks' side, Curry used Green's screen to break through, and assisted Antetokounmpo to cut to the basket for a layup.

The Bucks' offense this time made full use of the containment power of Curry and Durant. Curry muddied the waters, while Durant pulled Chen Xiao away.

The thick eyebrows were bypassed by Antetokounmpo.

The thick eyebrows did not follow Antetokounmpo's air cut this time.

After the start of the second half, the two teams once again fell into anxiety.

Although both teams started to play more disciplined in the second half than in the first half, especially the Bucks, the mental outlook in the second half was indeed different.

But after more than three minutes of play in the second half, the score difference between the two teams was still 11 points. In these three minutes, the two teams played a lonely game.

In this case, it is difficult for you to support that Ray Allen will have a conspiracy in the second half, and the Bucks' performance in the first half is an argument that Ray Allen was intentional.

"Maybe I really thought too much. Facing the absolute strength of the Warriors, the miracle of G5 cannot be replicated, it can only be a miracle..."

This is what the vicious tongue Maizi said with 8 minutes and 49 seconds left in the third quarter.

But at 8 minutes and 42 seconds, Curry and Durant picked and rolled on the court. Curry passed to Durant, and Durant hit Ron Howard from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

51 to 59!

Durant's three-pointer was the Warriors' first three-pointer of the second half.

Because the Warriors' defensive strategy in this finals is to strangle others, when defending Dooku's pick-and-roll, the Warriors also use single defense.

In fact, in this finals, the Bucks did not often use Dooku pick-and-roll.

Ray Allen has also been criticized by many experts and Bucks fans because of his infrequent use of Dooku pick-and-rolls.

This time Dooku's pick-and-roll seemed to kick off the Bucks' counterattack.

The Warriors attacked, and Dream Green double-checked Wade, who was singled out by Curry. Wade passed the ball to the open Thick Eyebrow. Thick Eyebrow received Wade's pass. Instead of shooting immediately, he chose to break through with the ball.

Dream Green, who was finally recovered, blocked the shot and missed a layup.

Nongmei himself regretted it.

This choice is indeed too hesitant.

But considering the feel of thick eyebrows in this game.

It's still understandable.

If it weren't for his poor touch with thick eyebrows in this game, Dream Green would not have suddenly flanked Wade in the third quarter to single out Curry.

It can only be said that Thick Eyebrow's shooting touch before this game gave Green the courage to gamble.

After the thick eyebrow strike, the Bucks continued to play Dooku's pick-and-roll. This time Durant blocked Curry very solidly. The quality of Durant's screen was not very high, and it was far from the dream-chasing Green. , but it doesn’t mean it can’t stop people every time.

After blocking someone for Curry this time, Curry was behind Durant, more than one step outside the three-point line, and shot the ball directly and quickly. Chen Xiao did not block it, and the basketball hit the net with a bang!

54 to 59!

The 11-point difference was only because the Warriors missed a shot. The Bucks made two consecutive three-pointers, and they were only 5 points away!

You have to admit on the spot the Bucks' ability to chase points. Curry's ability to chase points is indeed strong.

The Warriors paused. During the timeout, Cole rearranged his defensive tactics and sent out the special tactics he had used against Dooku in the pick-and-roll, flanking!

Yes, since 2-on-2 can't prevent Dooku's pick-and-roll, then 3-on-2.

To be honest, Cole was unwilling to use it in this game because Iguodala had a good touch in this game. He scored 10 points in the second quarter.

Against Dooku's pick-and-roll 3 and 2 defense, Chen Xiao must add two outsiders. In this game, Durant was defended by Chen Xiao himself.

In the previous two games, Durant was defended by Clay or Big Eyebrow, with 42 in one game and 46 in the other. It was impossible to guard him.

Historically, thick eyebrows were used to guard against Durant, and his hands were much shorter than Durant's. One-on-one was basically Durant's cash machine.

Clay, on the other hand, is not tall enough and has insufficient athletic ability. At the same time, Clay is actually not that good at making small defensive moves. Clay likes to defend from the front, but defending Durant cannot give him a front-on frame, so that Durant can easily If you have a front-facing frame, you can only watch him cast.

In this case, when Chen Xiao needs to guard Durant, the other two players must be outsiders.

You can't show off even with thick eyebrows.

When the thick eyebrows need to flank Dooku again, they take the team's other remaining defensive player to guard the opponent's three players: Antetokounmpo, Iguodala and Dream Green.

How to prevent this?

If there are fewer people to defend against more people, of course they have to shrink and shoot, and these three people are not very good at shooting.

But in the second quarter of this game, Iguodala hit two three-pointers and scored 10 points in a single quarter.

This is the hidden danger of attacking Dooku from a flank.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Immediately after the Bucks' offensive round, after Iguodala hit an open three-pointer, the Warriors quickly made adjustments and gave up the team Dooku's pick-and-roll attack.

You know, when Iguodala can hit a three-pointer, Antetokounmpo and Dream Green attack Nongmei and Clay, and Nongmei and Clay are unstoppable.

At that time, if you are not careful, the defensive system will collapse.

Durant and Curry continue to leave it to Chen Xiao and Ron Howard to defend alone.

However, it is obvious that in the third quarter, after the Bucks double-teamed Wade more, Chen Xiao also added more offensive presence.

Then after the entire third quarter, the Warriors lost 25 to 33, losing by 8 points in a single quarter.

Throughout the third quarter, Curry made 5 of 6 and 4 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 14 points in a single quarter.

Durant, on the other hand, made 3 of 6 in a single quarter, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 10 points.

The rest were Antetokounmpo with 2 of 4 and 4 points, Green with 1 of 4 and 2 points, and Iguodala with 1 of 1 and scored the 3 points that changed the Warriors' defensive strategy.

On the Warriors side, Luo hit 2 of 7 and scored 6 points. As the main attacker, Luo hit 0 of 3 three-pointers in the third quarter. In the first half, Luo hit 3 of 4 three-pointers. Luo Ge's three-point touch is not good.

Wade was 1 of 2, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 3 points.

As long as Wade hits Curry and Green, he will double attack.

Then, the thick eyebrows who were left out were very cooperative and scored 0-for-3. In the end, Wade was so timid that he no longer dared to play Curry alone.

By the way, Clay was actually 0-for-2 in the third quarter, but it was Clay's shooting. When Luo Ge singled out Wade, the Bucks players did not dare to let Clay go.

To be honest, if Chen Xiao hadn't taken on the team's main offense on defense in the third quarter, scoring 4 of 8 in a single quarter and scoring 10 points, the Warriors might have collapsed like they did in G5 in the third quarter.

This is not a joke

Dooku's pick-and-roll game in the third quarter can be described as crazy.

Dooku is indeed invincible in the pick-and-roll without being flanked.

The most important thing is that in the third quarter, the Warriors' offensive rhythm was disrupted.

However, although the Bucks' outburst in the third quarter caused a crisis for the Warriors.

But at the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still led by 3 points, 80 to 77.

As long as the Warriors can stabilize their emotions, they still have an advantage.

Fortunately, the Warriors are a veteran team. If the Warriors were a young team led by thick eyebrows, they might not be able to hold on in the third quarter against the aggressive Bucks.

"Whether this game is the Warriors or the Bucks, at this point in the game, it is difficult for the two teams to rely on role players such as Antetokounmpo, Dream Green, and Big Eyebrow. Now the star players of the two teams need to play the game. Take it all over!”

The vicious-tongued Maizi was excited when he saw all five star players, Chen Xiao, Wade and Luo Ge, as well as Curry and Durant, staying on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The Warriors fans on the sidelines were not excited at this time.

After all, they actually didn't expect this game to develop like this.

"It seems that before the game, the whole world was overwhelmingly optimistic that the Warriors would win, which is not a good thing. Such a public opinion environment made some Warriors players unprepared."

To be honest, the offense of the Bucks' forward players is indeed a bit unstable, but the defense of Antetokounmpo, Iguodala and Dream Green is no problem. As long as you are not well prepared, your The offense cannot be easy.

Even if you are well prepared, your offense will not be very effective.

In this finals, the Warriors' offense bypassed the Bucks' forward line and tried their best to defeat Curry.

In this finals, the Warriors' offense consisted of Wade and Luo Ge playing against Curry, while Chen Xiao took on the team's most important task of suppressing the Bucks' forwards and interior lines, and attacking the opponent's defensive strengths.

In this case, Maizi was right.

The Warriors can only attack these three people now. At such a critical moment, it is unrealistic to let others attack the Bucks' forward line that is so strong in defense.

Similarly, on the Bucks' side, the two strong points of the Suns that can attack are Curry and Durant, and other people's offense is also not trustworthy enough.

Except maybe Iguodala in this game.

Therefore, the final quarter of the game really depends on these five people.

In the fourth quarter, the Bucks attacked first. As soon as they came up, Iguodala received an assist from Curry and hit a long two-pointer.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors still flanked Dooku's pick-and-roll, but Iguodala was really amazing in this game, which was too heart-warming.

All of these shots that can change the opponent's tactics were hit.

The three-pointer in the third quarter and the two-pointer at the beginning of the fourth quarter were extremely critical.

79 to 80!

The difference between the two sides was only one point.

At this time, the Warriors fans at the scene were definitely with their hearts in their throats.

But then, Luo Ge and Clay picked and rolled, pulling Curry in front of Clay in front of him, and then made a very iconic turnaround jumper.

79 to 82!

The score continues to be tense.

And the two teams were so anxious, even until the last moment!

With 9 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game, the two teams tied for the first time after the opening, 84 to 84.

And when there were 1 minute and 58 seconds left in the game, the two teams were tied for the second time in this game, 102 to 102!

To be honest, many people were really surprised that the game turned out like this.

For example, after the half-time game, CCTV had already prepared to celebrate Chen Xiao's second coronation of the dynasty, as well as the on-site CCTV commentators Zhang Director and Xiao Su.

At this time, the voices of Director Zhang and Xiao Su were trembling.

"In Chen Xiao's career, we have never encountered such a big crisis in the finals!"

Teacher Zhang is right, this game is really the reappearance of G5.

Durant and Curry scored 23 of the Bucks' 25 points in the fourth quarter of this game.

Of course, on the other side, Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard also scored all 22 of the Warriors' 22 points.

If you don't look at the results and don't pay attention to the outcome, the offense of these five people in the fourth quarter of this game really stunned the whole world.

So much so that the Warriors requested a timeout and the game entered a timeout.

The poison-tongued Maizi was so shocked that he couldn't speak. In the end, he only said: "It's too strong!"

Yes, these five people are really strong!

"Except for each other, no team in NBA history can beat them!"

"They are the two strongest teams in NBA history!"

"They are the two strongest combinations in NBA history!"

Such two teams, such two combinations, encountered each other in the same era.

This is their mutual tragedy, but also their mutual luck.

At least for Jordan, he couldn't even ask for such an opponent.

For NBA viewers, it is absolutely lucky for these two teams, these two combinations, to come together like this.

After all, when the Warriors fans at the scene were so nervous that they were suffocating.

David Stern on the sidelines was smiling broadly.

The ratings for this game will definitely explode!
