NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

Curry looked at the scoreboard and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and after receiving Green's serve from the baseline, he passed the ball back to Green and motioned for him to advance with the ball himself. Curry then turned and ran to the front court.

The Warriors have been proficient in this system of attacking with Green holding the ball, which can maximize the liberation of Curry and Thompson's offense, but only if these two people maintain a good shooting touch and Green can't be unproductive on the offensive end that day.

However, today's Warriors use this set of tactics, and it seems that the threat is not as great as before, after all, only Curry's hand is okay today, and Thompson's offense is a disaster.

Using this system, the Warriors did pull a lot of open shots for Thompson, but Thompson only hit two of them, which obviously did not meet the current tactical needs of the Warriors.

The Spurs are still unhurried offense, and the rhythm of each offensive round will be particularly slow, and the five players on the court are constantly transferring the ball, trying to fill all the 24 seconds of offensive time each time, which is quite like the Spurs team basketball back then.

Although the shooting percentage of the Spurs' bench is also not high, it is enough to drag the Warriors' five-man lineup.

After Thompson's successive misses, the Warriors finally made adjustments, replacing Thompson and Green and others, and sending Kuminga, Payton Jr., and Looney to assist Curry in taking over the Warriors' next offense.

Curry also lived up to expectations, hitting three three-pointers in three consecutive rounds, making the score instantly closer.

After the Spurs' McDermott responded with a three-pointer from Curry, the referees blew the whistle for the end of the second quarter.

At 58:52, the Spurs had only six points left in the first quarter.

But the Warriors also paid a big price - star Curry played two consecutive quarters. He will have to spend a lot of time resting in the rest of the game, at least for the first half of the third quarter, and he should not play again.

After halftime, the Spurs sent their previous starting five against the Warriors.

After thinking about it, Cole still sent Looney, who had been playing for a long time, to partner with Green, who was previously substituted, to form the Warriors' interior line, although he was difficult to form an effective defense against Wembanyama on the court, but as one of the few tall men in the Warriors, one is better than nothing.

Poole plays with the ball, and while he played a lot of time in both the first and second quarters, he doesn't play a few offenses, and most of the time, he's there to help his teammates open up space.

As a result, his physical exertion is not significant, and he has become the only firepower that the Warriors can rely on on the offensive end at the moment.

Poole knew that Looney had used a lot of energy in the previous game, so he did not choose to call him to block and pick, but played his own single-handedness, and after a three-point step from the side, the Warriors chased the score to 58:55, and the two sides were only three points apart.

Chang Tiancheng continued to choose to give the ball to Wembanyama on the offensive end, and Wembanyama basically gave what he wanted, whether he was facing Green or Rooney, and the already accurate mid-distance was matched with Chang Tiancheng's point guard God skill clamping, almost without a false serve, 60:55.

Poole turned his head to return another three-pointer, but this time his body was covered by Keldon, and he had no choice but to pass the ball to Thompson, who didn't feel good today.

Thompson, as a long-established three-point shooter, naturally has his own pride, looking at Chang Tiancheng, who changed the defense in front of him and was a cut short of himself, he couldn't find a reason not to shoot, so he continued to shoot three-pointers, but in exchange for iron.

Wembanyama took the rebound and then gave it to Chang Tiancheng, who was about to go down. After Chang Tiancheng received the ball, facing the empty basket, he wanted to choose to end the attack with a dunk, but after thinking about it, he replaced it with an ordinary layup.

After all, this is in line with the character of his first recovery from a major injury.

Green advanced with the ball and gave the ball to Poole on the wing as soon as he reached the top of the arc, at which point he had no choice but to rely on Poole to complete the offensive strategy.

After receiving the ball, Poole did not stop the ball in the face of Chang Tiancheng's defense, broke directly to the Spurs' interior, and passed the ball to Looney after attracting Drummond's supplementary defense.

After Looney received the ball, he was about to get up and dunk, but found that the big hand before was covered again. He suddenly became afraid to make a move, and under hesitation, he was blown by the referee for three seconds.

Seeing this, Green said angrily: "Why didn't you make a move just now?!Are you afraid of him?!Are you afraid of a rookie?!"

Looney couldn't respond to Green, he could only shake his head, return to his basket and stand in a defensive position, ready to deal with the Spurs' next round of offense.

But the Spurs did not give Looney a chance to make amends, and in the next round, Chang Tiancheng did not give the ball to the inside, but faced Poole's defense and scored a step-back three-pointer.

The Warriors hesitated Green's impatience, had a passing error, and after being stealed by Keldon, they completed a glide split dunk, and at 67-55, the Spurs once again took a 12-point lead.

Curry couldn't stand it anymore and ripped off the towel he was draping over his head and asked Kerr to appear.

Kerr looked at Curry's resolute eyes, nodded, and then went to the sideline to give Green a look.

Green understood, took the initiative to hug Sochan, and exchanged a foul for a dead-ball round, allowing the Warriors to make a substitution.

Curry replaced Thompson and came back after a break of less than half a quarter.

But this time, after Curry came on the court, he was not as brave as he was in the second quarter. Although he found an opportunity to hit two three-pointers, he never found a chance to break through to the inside shot due to the Spurs' presence with Wembanyama. As a result, his scoring tools are also greatly limited.

Even Curry couldn't find a way to deal with Wembanyama's defense, and the rest of the Warriors were even more uncomfortable.

As a result, the situation on the court became a little weird: the other four members of the Warriors except for Looney all stood on the outside and shot three-pointers, but they didn't get much.

And this kind of outside shot gives the Spurs a lot of opportunities to protect rebounds, so that they can take advantage of the situation to launch a fast attack.

After a back and forth, by the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams had become 80:63.

In the fourth quarter, both sides sent bench lineups to calmly finish the rest of the game.
