NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

During the intermission, Coach Terry remembered the secret weapon that he had kept in the warehouse for a long time.

Unlike the Warriors, the Trail Blazers clocked in three quarters during the regular season due to their dominance. In the playoffs, he became even more dominant, sweeping his opponents 4-0 in two consecutive rounds, so much so that he almost forgot the infinite defensive lineup he had carefully built.

Competing for mobility, right?

Let's see if your five small lineup is stronger, or my infinite switch defense is better.

Back at halftime, the entire Warriors team suddenly discovered that their opponents had also changed.

"Hmm... that number 5 again? And that number 3!"

When the figures of Harrell and Beverly came into view, Cole couldn't help frowning.

He still remembers that the first time he confidently set up a five-small lineup to hope for construction, the opponent's coach Terry Stotts sent these two guys to disrupt his plan.

Fortunately, Beverly said that he has already made a name for himself with the Trail Blazers, but Harrell, a rookie, really surprised him with his defensive ability.

In Cole's view, Harrell's on-court style is a bit similar to Green's. Both are short insiders, have the same wild style of play, and the same irritable personality.

But he still firmly believes that Harrell is far inferior to Green, which can be seen from the tactical status of the two on the field.

The point is that in order to defeat the Trail Blazers, he has been working on this set of five small lineups for a long time, and according to his observation, Harrell didn't play much during the regular season, and he could only play in garbage time in the playoffs.

This means that Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts did not have too much to polish the defensive lineup.

Secondly, he always felt that the reason why the Trail Blazers narrowly won that time was mainly because Wang Zelin was so strong and hit the lore, which made the Blazers win that game a bit more luck.

Therefore, whether it is Cole or the Warriors players, they have always been worried about that loss.

In order to win tonight, the Warriors boldly used a seven-man rotation. Except for Iguodala and Barbosa, the rest of the players were basically abandoned.

I have to say that Cole is indeed an extremely courageous head coach. After acknowledging Green's potential, All-Star forward David Lee said trade is trade.

It's the same tonight. After deciding to play the five juniors, the big center BoGt, who played well in the first two rounds of the series, also said that he didn't need it. He sat on the bench throughout the night and served as one of the cheerleaders.

In the playoffs, most coaches actually prefer to use a less-man rotation plan. Although the players will play very hard in this way, in this way, the team can maintain the best combat effectiveness on the field in this game, and the chances of winning will be greater.

In the second half, the three core players of the Splash Brothers and Green continued to stay on the court, and the other two positions were replaced by Iguodala and Barbosa. The Warriors chose to implement the five small lineups to the end.

They have only one goal tonight, and that is to win desperately!

Easy side to fight again, the Trail Blazers' small lineup quickly paid off.

Beverly was like a mad dog, biting Curry the whole time and never leaving.

And after Harrell, who is faster, smaller and more agile, replaced Aldridge, the number of fast break rounds of the Warriors dropped visible to the naked eye.

But as the game progressed, Harrell's flaws were exposed.

First of all, his personality is too irritable, and he belongs to the kind that is easy to catch.

The second is that the Trail Blazers have too many potential insiders, making his playing time inevitably limited.

Leaving Wang Zelin and Aldridge aside, it takes a lot of resources to train Jokic alone, and Harrell is the last one in the list. How much can fall into his mouth?

Harrell, who lacks training, still lacks a bit of experience when facing a top team like the Warriors.

The regular season is the regular season, and the playoffs are the playoffs. The two must not be compared.

In addition, the previous two games against the Warriors could only get a few minutes of garbage time. Harrell was eager to show himself after being replaced early tonight. Several misplaced singles against Curry not only failed to do a good job of restricting, but also lost money for nothing. foul.

When he arrived in the penalty area, Green's big mouth burst out a few words of ridicule from time to time, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, which completely exploded his whole mentality.

In the third quarter alone, he sent 3 turnovers and 4 fouls, which was unexpected by Coach Terry. But he knows that he can't blame Harrell too much. He is just a rookie player, and the Blazers are the defending champion team, so they are destined not to give rookies too much training time.

However, Coach Terry slowly let go of the worry in front of him. Fortunately, he was also prepared for the regular season, otherwise the Warriors might really be able to win to the end with this lineup!

Although the Blazers also started to respond with a small lineup in the second half, but because they fell behind too much before, and Harrell, who was temporarily fighting the fire, exposed his own inexperience in the competition, he failed to recognize the scale of whistleblowing in the away game. He received his 6th foul in 2 minutes and returned to the bench.

Therefore, it was finally defeated by the Warriors 125:118 at Oracle Arena!

The Splash Brothers are fully blooming tonight, and a deadly three-pointer is chilling.

Curry played 45 minutes, made 11 of 19 shots, 7 of 11 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, 33 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.

Among the 5 rebounds, 2 are offensive rebounds!

This shows how strong Curry's desire to survive tonight is.

Desperate Soup also shined tonight, and even gave people a breathtaking feeling, even higher than Curry.

Played for 42 minutes, made 10 of 15 shots, 66.7% shooting from the field, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 30 points with incredible efficiency!

Tonight, the Splash Brothers made a total of 12 three-pointers. This cannot be said to be a splash, it should be a tsunami...

Green, the last of the Warriors' three major cores, although the data is not good, only 6 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block and 1 steal were recorded, but anyone who watched the whole game can't help admiring him...

Even though this guy has all kinds of black spots, the tenacious figure he quickly got up after being knocked down by Wang Zelin again and again in order to grab rebounds tonight is enough to move countless spectators.

Green played for 46 minutes tonight. It can be said that he was in a desperate fight with Wang Zelin, the number one player in active service, for the entire game. To be able to grab more than double-digit rebounds is completely a desperate style of play.

There are also Livingston, Iguodala, Barnes, and Barbosa who all played more than 35 minutes tonight. In order to defend the home court and avoid falling behind 0 to 3, they also went all out.

The Warriors, relying on their united will and desperate efforts, succeeded in dragging the Blazers off the throne of supremacy.

They let the invincible Portland Trail Blazers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ after entering the playoffs this season taste the taste of the playoffs for the first time.

After more than half a season, Cole's painstakingly polished version 2.0 of Death Five finally worked.

"Let's congratulate the Golden State Warriors. They created a great miracle tonight and made the Portland Trail Blazers' dominance less solid!"

"The Warriors evened the series 1-2, and they are still at Oracle Arena two days later! If they can pull another round, they will have the opportunity to snipe the Trail Blazers' dynasty dream and create their own era!"

"This is the NBA, this is where miracles are born! The Warriors used a tough performance to prove to the world that the real battle of this series has just begun..."

When the game ended, watching the 1-2 score on the screen, all the home fans let out heart-piercing roars, and the TV commentators who were in charge of broadcasting the game couldn't hide their excitement. come out.
