The Basketball Court Swordsman

Mitchell Thompson, the No. 1 pick in the 1978 NBA Draft, is often regarded by the media as just a supporting role. After all, the 78th draft is really talented. For example, with the sixth pick in the first round, the guy named Larry Bird is a talent...

But now, no one would consider Mitchell Thompson’s second son as a supporting role. Although Klay Thompson's role in the Warriors is indeed positioned as the second master, everyone knows that Klay Thompson has the ability to change the game alone.

Once this guy turns on the "killing **** mode", the Warriors may even solve the game in just one.

And now, Steve Kerr undoubtedly hopes that this will happen soon.

After the start of the second quarter, Henson regrouped his starting lineup. The previous 12 minutes of the game has proved that Henson's formation is very correct. He effectively contained the Warriors, so there is no reason to break this balance while leading.

The Warriors are also quite confident over there, Cole did not change according to Henson's changes. But he believes that in the second quarter, the Warriors will make the Pacers look good.

Klay Thompson shook his arms before going on the court. Cole's tactics were already very clear just now. He will be the center of the Warriors' offense in the second quarter. The entire Warriors, including Curry and Durant, two super scorers, will serve him alone.

Thompson's gaze fell on Paul George. Although he did not have a hideous expression, it did not mean that Thompson was not ashamed of the first quarter.

In most people's minds, Klay Thompson is a gentle and elegant white shooter. And he has a really good temper on the court, which deepens this impression.

However, first, Thompson is black and has nothing to do with the term "white shooter". Second, Thompson is far less gentle than he saw in his performance.

Like most NBA players, Thompson likes clubbing and playing with women. As far as the number of Thompson girlfriends known by the media is concerned, they are enough to make up a football team, let alone those unknown to the media.

After the 2015 championship parade, Thompson was caught in bed by his model girlfriend. During the offseason every year, except when in China, it is almost impossible for you to track Thompson. You can only find him in the nightclub.

This shows that Thompson is not a "good boy".

In terms of basketball, Thompson chose No. 11 because he thought it was a shame that he was selected with the 11th overall pick.

"I was one of the best players in that class. The guys in front of me were not as good as me. I wouldn't say which pick I should be selected, I can only say that I shouldn't be ranked in Kelly Irving. after that."

When this sentence was released alone, people would never think that Klay Thompson, a "good man", said it. However, this is the real Klay Thompson. He is by no means a good gentleman, so for the goals that George scored in the first quarter, Thompson is very eager to double back!

The baseline ball was sent and Curry started to advance with the ball. Thompson stared at the number 13 in front of him and took a deep breath.

Revenge begins!

On the first offense in the second quarter, Chris Paul had an intensity against Curry. The few red scratches on Curry's arm have already demonstrated how "thinking" Paul took care of him today.

Curry moved to the flank with the ball, while Greene came up. Everyone thought that Green was going to cooperate with Curry.

The fact is that Thompson suddenly moved around the screen without warning. Green's real screen target was not Curry, but the number 11 who wrote the shame on the jersey and remembered him for life!

Thompson's sudden start and Green's solid cover caused George to lose his target for a while. Klay drove straight in and drove the layup before Antetokounmpo and Lopez returned to the basket.

Thompson landed lightly and pointed to Curry to show his gratitude. An understatement of the layup allowed Thompson to accumulate some touch.

After 24 seconds, Klay Thompson made a comeback. This time, Curry was still in possession of the ball for the second half. But just after the midfield line, Curry threw the ball to Clay.

George clings to Thompson. He knows that Thompson's speed is average, so he is not afraid to press tight.

Moreover, now that the Warriors players are not fully seated, Thompson will definitely pass the ball!

But this time, George was wrong again. It's not that George's thinking is wrong, but Thompson's choice of shots is totally unreasonable.

After receiving the ball, Thompson immediately retreated a small step, and after only a short distance from George, he shot directly!

George didn't expect Thompson to shoot directly without getting rid of the defense, so the interference was also slow. But this half shot is more than enough for top shooters!

The moment Thompson took the shot, he felt very comfortable. In the past few days, his shooting on the training field has always felt good. Fortunately, this fiery touch followed him to the arena.

Steve Cole was right, Thompson is fully equipped to turn on the "killing **** mode" today.

"Swipe!" This three-pointer made Thompson feel extremely refreshed.

It was as if he was beaten in a corner by others for 12 minutes, and now he finally gave a powerful counterattack.

"It's almost an affair. Thompson's withdrawal only bought him a small space. But, for the Warriors players, even a gap is enough."

Mike Brin smiled, but he didn't think Thompson could score a goal like this throughout the quarter. There is also Henson who has this idea.

After scoring two goals in a row, Thompson has cast confidence. For the Warriors' third offense, Curry still held the ball and Thompson ran to the right corner without the ball.

Paul George gritted his teeth to keep up. He knows how important this game is to the team. He doesn't want to be the culprit for losing the game. Most importantly, he didn't want to disappoint Henson!

"George deserves to be one of the best defensive wing players in the league. This time, he didn't even leave a gap for Thompson. Coach Henson's lineup is still very strong defensively."

As soon as Mike Brin finished speaking, Curry passed the ball to Thompson.

Thompson took the ball and dribbled it to the right corner. Of course, this time he is back to the basket. When he turns around to take aim again, George will certainly not give him shooting space.

However, the confident Thompson was able to avoid even aiming and took off directly while turning around. After taking a glance at the basket in the air, he shot directly against George's interference!

In the eyes of any fan and coach, this is not a reasonable shooting option. But today's Thompson does not need to be reasonable!

"Swipe!" Before George could turn around, he heard a chilling sound coming from behind him.

This kind of ball actually scored! ?

"This..." Not to mention George, even Mike Brin, who has experienced countless classic moments, did not react for a while. ,

Henson's eyes widened, and sure enough, his "wild hunt" was not so easy to be killed.

After seeing Clay's goal, Steve Kerr waved to Curry and sat back on the bench with peace of mind.

He believes that Henson Joe is holding a chicken in his hand-it's over!

Sure enough, Klay Thompson had a historic performance in the second quarter. His three-pointers, mid-range shots and off-ball cuts pierced the Pacers' hearts again and again.

Kerr just waved his hand to allow the Warriors to speed up the attack. So a lot of the ball is a long backcourt pass by the Warriors, and Thompson can basically score a goal as long as he receives it.

Whether it's an assault layup, a sudden stop jumper, or a three-pointer against the defense, Thompson can do it.

"Klay made a sudden stop outside the three-point line and George had stretched his arms. But... still made it! 18 points! 18 points in a single quarter!"

"Klay bypassed the screen and Antetokounmpo came to make up the defense. Clay halted the shot under the interference of Antetokounmpo. No, no, it's impossible, 20 points!"

"Curry made a long pass from the backcourt to start a fast break, and Klay Thompson faced George for a layup. He had already played with absolute confidence! What!? He actually made it when he lost his center of gravity! And, more penalty! If an additional penalty hits, Klay Thompson will perform a miracle of 23 points in a single quarter!"

In the end, as Mike Brin said. Klay Thompson's single quarter scoring stopped at the number 23. Throughout the second quarter, Thompson went crazy.

Henson changed many strategies to target him, but none of them worked.

He took 10 shots in a single quarter and hit 7 goals, including 4 of 7 3-pointers. Klay Thompson helped the Warriors play a 42-23 match.

After the half-time, the Warriors have gone from trailing 5 points to leading 14 points!

After halftime by double digits, Oracle Arena was boiling.

"Clay, what do you think of your performance in the second quarter!?"

"Coach, why are you sure that Thompson will explode in the second quarter?"

Countless reporters surrounded the Warriors, no one cared where the Pacers' players and coaches went.

Of course, even so, Green will not let go of this opportunity to humiliate Henson, "I said, he will just hide behind and point. Now, the Pacers are in trouble, where is he!?"

The "he" in Green's mouth was walking in the player tunnel at this time, clenching his fists. Thompson's superb performance is indeed something he did not expect. In front of a player's superb performance, any tactics are futile!

For a moment, maybe a second or two, Henson really wanted to give up. The Warriors are too strong, too strong for no reason.

But when he thinks of Sager, when he thinks of the guy who is always optimistic, when he thinks of the word "two weeks", Henson instantly cheered up!

Yeah, it's only halftime. Even if God wears Thompson's No. 11 today, Henson will drag it down!

Therefore, after the Chinese coach walked into the locker room, he did not give the players breathing time as usual, but yelled.

"Remember what I said to you yesterday!? No matter what happens, you have to persevere for me! Even if you are 30 points behind, you can't give up! We want to play this game as the finals, as the tiebreaker Come and fight! As long as you don't give up, I promise that no matter what the situation, I will definitely come up with a way to come back! Now it is up to you to fulfill your promise. And I will not disappoint your trust!"

These words of Henson are for the players as well as for himself. It's only 14 points. Compared with "two weeks", 14 points are difficult to count as a feather.

This guy, he just doesn't accept his fate.
