NBA super small ball center

The Warriors scored so easily and smoothly that it also made the Trail Blazers' perimeter defense seem useless.

As a result, Lillard also became more under pressure on offense, and in order to maintain offensive firepower, he had to go all out to avoid being hit by the Warriors with an inconsistent shot.

Plumlee came over to block Lillard, leaving Wang Lang to follow.

This pick-and-roll blocked Curry's defensive position, allowing Lida to get a breakthrough opportunity and accelerate directly to the basket.

Wang Lang immediately changed to Plumlee and followed Lillard to defend sideways.

This stopped Lillard from moving forward, leaving Lillard unable to continue the offense and had to choose to pass the ball to McCollum on the outside.

The moment McCollum received the ball, he was defended by Thompson's closeness.

This defensive confrontation is very strong, making McCollum's dribbling not very convenient, and it is difficult to break through the defense.

McCollum had to dribble in quick succession and wait for Aminu to come over and block the pick-and-roll.

The pick-and-roll worked, blocking Thompson's defensive position and slowing Thompson's tempo.

McCollum immediately seized the opportunity and shot from beyond the three-point line.

The goal was scored, the Warriors were 7-6, and the score was back to a one-point difference.

The Trail Blazers have also shown good offensive ability from the outside, but they rely heavily on touch.

In the live broadcast room, Reggie Miller and Olajuwon are also discussing the current situation.

Reggie Miller was the first to speak: "The Trail Blazers' three-point shooting percentage is still good, but their defense can't prevent the Warriors' offense at all, if it continues to be consumed like this, once the Trail Blazers' hand drops, they will lose."

Olajuwon nodded: "That's right, and the Warriors always find scoring opportunities because of the strong individual ability of Wang Lang and Curry." Even if they don't feel as good on the outside, they can score a lot on the inside. And the Trail Blazers' interior defense is obviously problematic.

Reggie Miller went on to analyze: "If the Trail Blazers want to win, then they have to find a way to strengthen their defense, whether it's outside defense or interior defense. It must be more effective, not easily broken through, and not give the opponent so much space to shoot from the outside.

Olajuwon shook his head: "This is simply not possible with the current roster and strength of the Trail Blazers, they don't have this ability to maintain a strong defense, and it is too physically exhausting for them."

Reggie Miller smiled: "Lillard and McCollum are two players who have good outside offense, but their outside defense is nowhere near enough, and Plumlee's interior defense is not that good. For

the next round, the Warriors and Trail Blazers executed their own tactics.

The Trail Blazers launched offenses from the outside again and again, either Lillard shot or McCollum shot, and these two players took the vast majority of the shots, but they were still efficient, hitting many shots.

The two combined to score 18 points, and the physical exertion of the offense was not small.

On the Warriors' side, Wang Lang ran to the inside to receive the ball again and again, and in the face of Plumlee's interior defense, he scored easily with hook shots and pull-up dunks.

Curry also had the upper hand in the face of Lillard's heads-up, breaking up Lillard's defense.

Wang Lang and Curry played well, and the two combined to score 20 points.

Wang Lang scored 10 points himself, and so did Curry.

Wang Lang also added 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and with the previous rebounds and assists, he got 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the first quarter, and had 14 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by three points at 27-24.

This also made the good feel of the first quarter of the Trail Blazers not have any advantage, and it was difficult to find an opportunity to overtake the score.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Lang sat on the sidelines to rest, and maintained his strength with Curry and Thompson to prepare for the second half of the second quarter.

The Warriors also fielded a lineup of Bogut, Speights, Iguodala, Barbosa, and Livingston.

The Trail Blazers' bench lineup is a bit weaker, with no good offensive and defensive ability, but because they play at home, they have a better hand than the Warriors.

In this situation, the state of the two sides is completely different.

The Warriors' bench players have suffered from playing away from home, and their feel and play have been affected.

Moreover, the Trail Blazers obviously took some foul defensive moves, which were also ignored by the referees, especially Livingston was pushed and pulled by opponents many times when he was in the mid-range singles.

With six minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors were 38-39 and were outnumbered by one point.

Wang Lang sat on the sidelines and saw such a situation, he couldn't help frowning, and it was a little difficult to accept the strategy of the Trail Blazers.

But he also knows that this is the treatment of the league, the "special care" for the Warriors.

The two sides also switched to the main lineup at this time.

Wang Lang came to the court, the Warriors attacked, and Wang Lang dribbled to the frontcourt.

Curry and Thompson made a very simple pick-and-roll.

Curry played well in the first quarter, and the Trail Blazers no longer defended Curry alone at this time, but chose to wrap up.

Aminu let go of Barnes and wrapped Curry back and forth with Lillard.

And Thompson is still defended by McCollum.

Wang Lang saw the opportunity and passed directly to Thompson.

Thompson catches the ball and shoots, ignoring McCollum's perimeter defense.

This kind of strong shooting doesn't seem to have a high shooting percentage and is difficult to score, but McCollum's outside defense doesn't have a strong confrontation, and his height is not dominant, so he didn't defend it, allowing Thompson to shoot and score and hit three-point shots.

The Warriors outscored by two points at 41-39, and as soon as the second quarter came up, the main lineup regained the lead.

It also left the Trail Blazers' defenders speechless.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Lillard dribbled to the perimeter, and in the face of Curry's close defense, Lillard did not choose to break through or step back to shoot, but passed the ball to Plumlee.

Plumlee received the ball from inside the three-point line, held the ball high above his head, and watched left and right under Wang Lang's defense, looking for opportunities.

In this position, Plumlee does not pose any offensive threat to Wang Lang because he has no mid-range shooting ability.

Soon, McCollum came around and used Plumlee to block and break free from Thompson's close defense to get a mid-range shot.

Plumlee also made a quick pass to McCollum.

This situation has long been predicted, and at the moment when the opponent shot, he jumped high and pounced to block.

His right hand touched McCollum's shot and sent it straight out and into bounds.

The Trail Blazers took a throw-in and had only eight seconds left on their offensive time.

Wang Lang was very happy and high-fived Curry and Green in celebration, while Plumlee was blue and helpless.

Plumlee served again and quickly handed the ball to Lillard, who chose to make a strong shot because he had little time left to attack, and in the face of Curry's defense, the shot hit again and popped up on the left side of the basket.
