In pre-game training, Wang Lang saw the Celtics' starting lineup.

Center Salinger, power forward Amir Johnson, small forward Crowder, scoring guard Bradley, point guard Thomas Jr.

On the Warriors' side, it's the same as before, center Wang Lang, power forward Green, small forward Barnes, scoring guard Thompson, and point guard Curry.

Enthusiastic Celtic fans have already begun to cheer.

Especially when the name of Thomas Jr. was read, the fans were even more boiling.

When Wang Lang saw this situation, he thought of Thomas Jr. having no ball to play later, and his heart turned a thousand times.

At the beginning of the game, the midfielders of both sides jumped the ball, Wang Lang and Sallinger stood opposite, and the referee threw the ball into the air.

Wang Lang jumped high, and in front of Sallinger, who was not as tall as himself, with the help of full-level bounce, easily touched the ball and dialed the ball to Curry.

Curry catches the ball, and the Warriors attack.

Curry also dribbled to the frontcourt.

In the face of Thomas Jr. who defended, Curry didn't need to block at all, and he could pass the opponent by dribbling directly behind his back.

But Thomas Jr. was also very vigilant and used his speed to block the breakthrough route.

Curry didn't hesitate, stepped back and dribbled, shot extremely fast, and shot three-pointers.

The ball was scored and the Warriors opened the game 3-0 to take the lead.

Curry also made a head-shaking motion and was in excellent shape.

Wang Lang was equally happy when he found out that the Celtics didn't contain Curry in the first place.

This option also gives Curry a lot of scoring opportunities.

The Celtics attacked, and Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball to the perimeter.

Salin blocked and demolished, and Wang Lang also came to the outside to make up for the defense.

Thomas Jr. took the opportunity to accelerate and hit the basket directly.

Wang Lang hurriedly made up for the past.

Even if he was at full speed, he only defended sideways and did not block the opponent.

But Wang Lang's defensive range is not small, and he can completely prevent Thomas Jr. from making a layup.

But at this moment, Thomas Jr. suddenly stopped his jump shot, and his body was still leaning back.

This kind of difficult shot made Wang Lang too late to catch up, so he could only stay where he was and reach out to interfere.

The ball went in, and the Warriors were 3-2 with a one-point lead.

Celtics fans rejoiced and kept chanting Thomas Jr.'s name.

Wang Lang also admired the other party's feel a little.

He knew that Thomas Jr. would play better in this game.

The Warriors attacked, and Wang Lang came to the front court with the ball.

Curry asks for the ball directly from the outside.

Wang Lang also passed it to the other party.

Thomas Jr. singled out Curry, but still didn't want to wrap up.

Curry also made dribble feints on the outside, alternating his hands on dribbles.

Thomas Jr. opted for close defense, was close, and reached for the ball.

But it didn't do anything for Curry, who broke through and passed Thomas Jr. to the mid-range.

Amir Johnson immediately let go of Green, defended it, and prevented Curry from shooting.

Curry didn't look at the pass, and threw it directly into the air.

Wang Lang understood, ran to the basket as soon as possible, jumped high, received the ball with both hands, and dunked sideways.

Salinger also jumped to defend, but was a step slower and couldn't block Wang Lang's dunk and became a background board.

The Warriors are 5-2 with a three-point lead.

Wang Lang also scored for the first time in this game, scoring 2 points in the air.

He happily landed on the ground, waving his fists in celebration.

Curry also high-fived Wang Lang.

In the next round, the two sides continued to play wonderfully.

On the Warriors' side, Wang Lang and Curry scored continuously at the beginning.

Curry singled Thomas Jr. again and again, either from the outside three-pointers or to break through to the inside to make layups and passes.

Wang Lang also did a good job of blocking and dismantling Curry, so that Curry got countless good opportunities.

Curry added 16 points as a result, making two three-pointers and three layups and two mid-range.

Wang Lang also cooperated in the open under the basket, scoring 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Combined with his previous scores, he scored 12 points in the first quarter.

On the Celtics side, although Thomas Jr. does not defend, he is in a hot state, breaking through emergency stop-and-go shots and outside three-point shots again and again, scoring 15 points, which is on par with Curry.

It also caused Wang Lang to commit a foul and played 2 plus 1.

On the other hand, Amir Johnson also got a mid-range opportunity, throwing three mid-range shots and scoring six points.

By the end of the first quarter, the Warriors were 31-23 with an eight-point lead.

In the live broadcast room, A Smith was quickly analyzing: "In the first quarter, the two sides basically had no defense, and it was completely an offensive situation, but the Celtics' offense was worse, although Thomas Jr. played like a superstar, but it still made the team fall behind the Warriors."

O'Neal rubbed his hands: "It's very simple, the Warriors have Curry on the outside and Wang Lang on the inside, and the Celtics didn't wrap Curry, giving Curry a lot of opportunities to shoot, Curry scored 19 points in the first quarter, and his performance exploded."

And Wang Lang also scored 12 points in the first quarter, all of which were dunks on the inside, which is enough to see that the Celtics' interior defense is insufficient and cannot stop Wang Lang's offense.

"So, even Thomas Jr. is very good, and if the Celtics continue to play like this, they are going to lose, so they will definitely start to wrap Curry in the second quarter.

Olajuwon nodded: "That's right, but I think it's more important to wrap Wang Lang, he is a super center who can score 60 points in a game, and he also has a strong shooting ability on the outside, once they wrap Curry, it will give Wang Lang more opportunities."

A Smith asked rhetorically: "But Curry has already scored explosively, and if he doesn't wrap up, Curry will also score 60 points, it makes no difference."

O'Neill clapped his hands: "Well said, that's the problem, they have to choose one of two bottles of poison, which one will be fatal, but there is a difference in time." At

the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Lang sat on the sidelines and watched the game.

He also saw the enthusiastic Celtic fans still cheering on the home team.

And the bench lineups for both sides also came in.

The Warriors' bench lineup is clearly not comfortable on the road.

Celtic were a different story, with their bench doing better.

Olynyk, in particular, scored inside and outside as soon as he came up, scoring 10 points alone.

Combined with Jerebko's two three-pointers, the Celtics overwhelmed the Warriors' bench on the outside offense.

The Warriors, on the other hand, had a poor hand, with only Livingston scoring eight points and the others struggling to score, adding up to four points.

With eight minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors were 43-39 and had only four points to go.

Seeing that Celtic is about to catch up with the score, there is even a posture to overtake.

Wang Lang also saw this situation.

He was substituted at this point.

He was joined by Green, Iguodala, Thompson, and Curry.

Kerr switched to the best defensive lineup early to extend the Warriors' lead and limit Thomas Jr.'s outside offense.
