Nba: The Opening Sign To The Finals Tiebreaker

Chapter 275 The most difficult moment for the Clippers

"It's the best playoff matchup I've seen so far this season.

"The Warriors and Clippers gave us a great offensive matchup in the first quarter."

"Especially the Warriors, they played the team's strength to the extreme, while the Clippers played a little passively.

"Without Zhou Yuan's firepower output in the second half, the Warriors may have led even more."

Soon, the intermission ended and the second quarter began.

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Warriors continued their strategy. The former No. 1 point guard in the league seemed a bit useless under such a defense.

Now the entire Clippers team is stagnant on the offensive end, and they can only watch Zhou Yuan dribble the ball from the backcourt, and then watch him use his personal ability to forcefully complete the score.

In contrast to the Warriors, almost every player on the court can participate in the offense.

With Green as the central axis as support, the Splash Brothers and "Reaper" Durant as the offensive end points, plus McGee at the basket ready to eat cakes at any time, such an offensive lineup has almost no weaknesses.

"This means that Zhou Yuan's physical fitness is good enough. If other players played like this, they would have been exhausted and paralyzed.

"Letting Zhou Yuan play singles can indeed temporarily solve the team's scoring problem at 5-20, but playing like this all the time won't work."

"Other Clippers players must also act to share some pressure for Zhou Yuan."

"You must know that this is the first game of the series, if Zhou Yuan has to play in this way throughout the series, the result can be imagined.

"No matter how good the physical fitness is, I am afraid that he will collapse on the court from exhaustion."

In the commentary seat, Charles Barkley couldn't stand it anymore.

"Doug Rivers, as the former championship coach, should show his talents at this time, but now he seems to be helpless.

"It makes me have to doubt his coaching ability."

Shaquille O'Neal is also very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Clippers. With their strength, it shouldn't be like this.

But the fact is that after the connection between Paul and Zhou Yuan was cut off, Rivers has never been able to find a solution to the problem.

As the game progressed, Zhou Yuan suffered more and more defensive pressure.

Every time after a breakthrough from the outside, Green and McGee will always wait for him at the basket.

McGee is better, just using his body to fight hard, but Green is different. We all know that this guy is a bit dirty on the court, and he has a lot of small moves, especially when facing players who are better than himself.

Every time Zhou Yuan ends up in the penalty area, Green does something on him, either slaps his arm or rips his jersey.

Moreover, these small actions of Green are very subtle, and it is difficult for even the referee to find out.

A few minutes later, the first half was over.

68:60

The Golden State Warriors in the away game extended their lead to 8 points.

Throughout the first half of the game, Zhou Yuan scored 45 points, 16 rebounds, and 6 blocks alone, all supporting the game with his own strength.

The other players together only scored 15 points, which shows how weak the overall offense of the Clippers is tonight.

"It was too difficult, Zhou Yuan played too hard in the whole first half."

"He's almost on his own against the entire Warriors, and he's a stronger Warriors than last season."

"Although Zhou Yuan played a very good performance personally, he still couldn't help the team recover the score, and was even pulled away a little bit.

"The most deadly thing is that the three core scoring points of the Warriors all performed efficiently tonight. The difficulty for the team to complete the reversal under such circumstances can be imagined.

During the intermission, players from both sides returned to the locker room.

The visiting team's locker room.

"The Clippers are nothing more than that. If they won the highest record in history and didn't even make it to the finals, they will definitely be ridiculed endlessly. Just thinking about it makes me feel that this is (babj) very ridiculous things."

Green is completely relaxed now, and he even thinks that the Clippers will be eliminated by them.

"Shut up, the game is not over yet, we may not be able to win, let alone this is only the first game of the series."

"Until the final victory is achieved, I will not allow any of you to have the thought of underestimating the enemy."

"Our opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers, they have the best players in the world."

Warriors head coach Stephen Kerr gave a serious reminder.

On the other side, the locker room of the home team.

The atmosphere seemed a little heavy, and the players looked a little lost. This was the biggest dilemma they encountered this season.

Whether it is the regular season or the playoffs they have played before, there has never been a game that will make them feel such a huge pressure.

"Coach, it's not okay to play like this [we have to find other ways."

Chris Paul turned to look at Rivers and said.

Rivers didn't know the seriousness of the matter, but he couldn't find any good solution now.

The key now is that Paul has been taking care of this point by the opponent, and the team's offense is difficult to operate.

"I have a method that might disrupt their defense."

At this time, Zhou Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"What method? Tell me!"

Everyone immediately looked at Zhou Yuan, they now regarded Zhou Yuan as the team's only hope.

"Tack them the way they do best."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was taken aback.

What is the Warriors best at? Of course, outside shooting, they have a bunch of good shooters.

"Boss, what time is this? You are still joking. Although we have a few good shots, compared with the Warriors, we are still far behind."

"Playing in their way, are you sure you won't lose worse?"

Harrell questioned immediately, and the others looked at him questioningly.

"Then have you ever heard the saying that whoever controls the rebound controls the game!"

Hearing what Zhou Yuan said, coach Rivers immediately understood what he meant.

"It's a pretty crazy idea, but I thought I'd give it a go!"

Fifteen minutes of intermission passed quickly, and the second half of the game began!

The Warriors started the second half unchanged, but the Clippers did.

They replaced Harrell with Paul Pierce, because Harrell has no outside shooting ability, and the other players remained the same.

"At the beginning of the second half, the Clippers gave up Harrell and let Paul Pierce start."

"This lineup is the starting lineup they used at the beginning of the season. I don't know what Rivers wants to do?".
