Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

There was an anxious atmosphere in the Warriors locker room.

From Cole to Curry, from Green to Thompson, everyone's brows are frowning.

Throughout the first half, the Warriors felt like they were swimming underwater.

The few times I wanted to poke my head out to take a breath, I would always be smothered by Thunder.

Throughout the season, the Warriors have always been the one to bore their opponents, and they were really not used to being bored by the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.

Curry's performance in the first half was quite bad. He didn't hit a three-pointer and had only 4 assists. He only scored 7 points by relying on free throws and breakthroughs.

Curry can't make three-pointers and can't make assists, so the Warriors' offense can't work effectively.

They can only rely on tenacious counterattacks in the frontcourt and piecemeal personal offenses to bite the score.

This way of playing is not advocated by Cole. If the series continues like this, it will definitely be bad luck.

But Cole couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

How the Thunder's Big Three defend and respond is a big problem.

The distribution of ball rights among the three is even and reasonable, and all three are in good condition.

In the locker room, Kerr paced back and forth, repeatedly emphasizing "run" and "defense."

Running the ball is the Warriors' top priority.

On the defensive end, the strength of the Warriors needs to be further improved.

The playoffs are essentially players and teams challenging and squeezing their limits.

It's just that Cole didn't expect that this limit came a little earlier and sooner.

...

The Thunder's locker room is relatively relaxed, but Donovan is not at ease with the team.

The Thunder played quite well in the first half, but they still couldn't widen the point difference.

5 points, no insurance advantage at all.

The Warriors made a lot of mistakes in the first half, and Li Liang made four steals alone.

But the Thunder actually made more mistakes, passing the ball out of bounds, and being counter-robbed in the backcourt, which caused the Thunder to lose several points.

"Focus, defend, we withstand the Warriors' counterattack, use our defense, absolutely, absolutely cannot let their offense feel, absolutely!"

Donovan repeatedly emphasized the team's defense.

Obviously, in the second half, the intensity of the competition between the two sides will be raised to a new level.

This is the first game of the Western Conference finals, and the subsequent confrontation can be imagined.

But Li Liang wasn't worried, he was much clearer than Donovan.

Judging from his experience and the probability of entering the system, the Warriors are not as strong as the Thunder, and there is a high probability of losing the series 2:4.

Of course, Li Liang didn't want the series to go to Game 6.

It is Li Liang's consistent style to solve it as soon as possible.

Being evenly matched is not what Li Liang pursues, but a one-hit kill is his attitude.

...

Fifteen minutes later, the energy center became lively again.

This time, there are no fans running to drink water, go to the toilet or buy toys in the middle of the game.

The game is the focus of tonight.

In many games during the regular season, many fans come not so much to watch the games, but to entertain and play, and the games themselves are not the focus.

The playoffs are different, every fan will be very involved.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors took the lead in attacking.

As a result, the high position Green's pass should be passed, but was intercepted by Li Liang!

Li Liang's fifth steal of the game!

After getting the ball, Li Liang made a quick break to kill the basket, but Green could only foul and send Li Liang to the free throw line.

Li Liang's steal tonight was like a miracle, he completely saw through the number of passes the Warriors made.

Green was a bit afraid to pass the ball after being robbed by Li Liang.

Standing on the free throw line, Li Liang made two free throws and gave his opponent a head start.

Immediately, Thompson broke through with the ball in the high post, only made one throw and scored two points.

The Thunder would rather make a two-point breakthrough instead of letting Thompson make a three-pointer.

Robertson is very tight, and it is sideways, leaving Thompson with room to break through.

If you stick sideways, Thompson can't shoot, because the shot will be directly squeezed from the side.

It's just that for this ball, Adams' defense was a little slower.

Then, Li Liang covered Durant in a high position, and Durant cut in the middle.

Li Liang is on the right side, attracting all the Warriors' defensive attention.

Durant gave the ball to the left corner, and Robertson made a decisive three-pointer and hit it!

At 65:57, the point difference was widened to 8 points.

The Warriors' defensive strength has indeed come up.

Li Liang just came out to cover, and was almost pushed down by Green, with a lot of movements in his hands.

Barnes, who was defending Durant, also kept interfering, making Durant's pass stumbling.

But Robertson still caught the ball and hit the three-pointer, which was his first three-pointer in the field.

A reminder to the Warriors that if he is released, the consequences may be serious.

The offensive problems that the Warriors needed to solve in the first half were still at a loss in the second half.

Green's high pass was almost blocked by Robertson, but the referee called it a hand-holding foul.

In this case, how much Cole hopes to have an indiscriminate and powerful singles player in the team.

Just like Jordan when he was in the Bulls and Duncan in the Spurs.

When the tactic doesn't work, just pull it in four directions and give the ball to the superstar, who is responsible for getting the ball in.

Curry is a superstar, but limited by his size, he cannot attack indiscriminately.

The Thunder used Westbrook and Robertson to pester Curry in turn, putting huge defensive pressure on Curry.

This pressure has not stopped since the first quarter.

If the Warriors don't have a second point that can "kill people", the Thunder will continue to defend like this.

Thompson has this potential, but Thompson's ball handling is a problem, and he relies a lot on touch.

So far, Thompson's outside touch can only be said to be average.

However, after serving from the sideline, Curry still found an opportunity.

Westbrook gambled steals while defending, trying to intercept Green's pass to Curry, but failed.

There was no one in front of Curry, and there was a big vacancy at 45 degrees on the right, and he made a direct shot!

Westbrook's defense is still a little frizzy.

Then, Westbrook quickly went down with the ball, hit the basket in the middle, made an emergency stop and missed a throw.

Curry took the backcourt rebound, and the two began to entangle from the backcourt. Westbrook kept reaching out to attack Curry's ball.

Curry used a back cross dribble to get away from Westbrook, but in the end Westbrook poked the ball out of bounds.

It's still the Warriors' possession.

It was another sideline serve, this time Green found a chance in the middle, and after receiving the ball, he hit a jumper against Adams.

Subsequently, Durant made a strong three-pointer from the outside and missed.

But Li Liang grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around and cut into the middle, and a master stopped and made a jumper.

The confrontation between the two sides intensified.

The Warriors want to play fast, want to continue to increase their offensive speed, and want to play the Thunder.

After Li Liang scored a goal, Thompson quickly served the ball in the backcourt, and Thompson rushed with the ball.

As a result, the layup was slapped by a big hat from Robertson who followed behind!

Very nice cap.

And it was from this block that the Warriors' offense began to go wrong.

Westbrook first made a clever pass to Li Liang who was under the basket, and Li Liang made an easy layup.

The Warriors called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Iguoda made the field.

The Warriors still have to play air cuts, or go inside, using passes, screens and running positions to penetrate the Thunder's position.

But the Thunder's position was well protected by Durant, Robertson and Li Liang.

The pass went wrong again and was intercepted by Durant.

The Thunder's offensive choice is very simple. Li Liang supports the ball in the high position, attracts the defensive attention, and gives it to Durant in the low post on the right.

Durant played singles with the ball, facing Green, and hit a mid-range jumper with a retreat.

Green has nothing to do.

When Durant has plenty of energy and little organizational pressure, the offensive end is really a death sickle.

Then, the Warriors passed the ball around from the outside, and there was really no place for an air cut.

It was still Thompson, rushing to the basket with the ball, circling left and right, and only made one of the emergency stop jumpers in the middle.

But immediately, Li Liang received the ball in the left corner and made a direct three-pointer against Thompson.

Thunder's firepower is truly unparalleled.

The point difference began to be stretched to more than 10 points.

Green wanted to return a three-pointer at the top of the high arc, but it was a pity that he bounced out of the basket.

The Warriors' offense came to a standstill, and the Thunder began to widen the point difference.

The one who got the rebound gave the ball to Westbrook, and then pushed all the way to the basket in the middle.

No one could resist his quick play. He received a return pass from Westbrook in the middle, and then he dunked with both hands!

Li Liang and Westbrook made a fast break with two tanks, and the energy center smelled like diesel.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Warriors began to feel a little overwhelmed.

Curry, Thompson, and Green all had blank faces.

what to do? Feeling overwhelmed?

Twenty shots?

Although the regular season is only two games away, everyone has a historical record of 70 wins.

But when it comes to the playoffs, it's really not the same level, it feels like it's a level behind.

It's all because of Bruce Lee's B, Cole thought, why not think about it, get him over in the summer?

If you can't beat it, just join, join Li Liang.
