The Warriors can beat the Rockets because of the absolute strength of Curry, but the Spurs do not.

Duncan is old, Parker and Ginobili have never been superstars, and their singles can't kill the Warriors.

In turn, the Spurs also adopted a defensive strategy against role players, but the effect was quite different.

On the court, the Warriors attacked, Curry and Green picked and rolled, Duncan mentioned the position of the free throw line, and Gary Neal struggled to squeeze the screen.

For any other point guard in the league, Duncan's defensive position is already quite high, but he is facing Curry now.

Curry used Green's cover to pull up and shoot. Duncan stepped forward and stretched out his long arms, but it was too late to interfere.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, 6:2.

"Good shot, Curry's three-pointer, the Spurs' defense against Curry is a bit loose, this defense against Curry is not good, Duncan has to mention it again, this kind of three-pointer with a screen is what Curry is best at .” Yu Jia said.

The Spurs attack, Parker and Duncan pick and roll, the Warriors switch defenses, Duncan rolls down, Parker chooses to single out Green, breaks through to the inside to throw a shot, and misses the basket under Green's interference.

Chandler deftly pinned Splitter, protected the backboard, and passed to Curry immediately.

However, the Spurs retreated quickly and did not give the Warriors a chance to push back.

The Warriors attacked, Green dealt cards at the top of the arc, and others ran without the ball, but the Spurs' defense was very disciplined, and their defense against running without the ball was in place.

The tactics were not played out, and the Warriors' offensive time was running out. Before the 24 seconds expired, Green made a hasty shot and hit the iron with a three-pointer.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu shook his head lightly. The Spurs and Warriors did the same. They played too many passes and cuts, and they were very aware of the weaknesses of passing and cutting.

The veterans of the Spurs are not as strong as they were back then, but they have a lot of experience. What they are most afraid of is the opponent's running tactics. If they want to break their defense, they can only rely on a strong attack.

On the court, the Spurs attacked, Duncan held the ball at the top of the arc to support, and Gary Neal cooperated hand-in-hand with him.

The only time the Warriors did not choose to switch defenses after the opening, Green delayed for a while, and immediately returned to his position, Curry struggled to squeeze the screen, but Duncan's screen was too solid, keeping Curry firmly behind, Gary Neal grasped A short open opportunity, a three-pointer, 6:5.

"Good shot! Gary Neal gained a foothold in the league by relying on this three-pointer. Duncan's screen was also very solid, which gave Gary Neal a small open opportunity." Yu Jia praised.

"The Warriors switched defenses in the previous two defensive rounds, but they didn't switch defenses this time. Zhang Yu's protection of Curry is in place." Yang Yi said.

Looking back, the Warriors attacked, Zhang Yu made a gesture on the sidelines, and the Warriors players on the court immediately changed their positions.

Klay and Curry take their defenders, Butler and Chandler run the pick-and-roll, the Spurs don't switch, Splitter hunkers down, Wilson Chandler squeezes through the screen.

Butler didn't have the ability to shoot a three-pointer with the ball. He used the cover to break through to the inside and challenged Splitter's defense. The European step missed a layup.

"Unfortunately, Splitter's foul control has always been poor. Butler should look for a physical confrontation with this ball, which may cause damage. If he dodges like this, Splitter can take advantage of his height and arm length. "Yang Yi said. …

Butler, who missed the opportunity, had no time to regret it, and took the time to retreat, but Wilson Chandler had already taken the lead.

Duncan, who grabbed the rebound, flicked the ball forward. Wilson Chandler caught the ball and took advantage of the trend. He dunked successfully with both hands, 7:5.

"The Spurs succeeded in the fast break! The rhythm of the two teams after the opening was very intense, and they played back and forth, making it dizzying." Yu Jia said.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu calmly watched the Spurs succeed in the fast break, turned around with a smile and said to Cole:
"Steve, it seems that we can't underestimate the Spurs too much. Their scoring methods are too rich, and they still need to work hard to win the game."

Cole smiled:
"The Spurs can't resist for too long. In the playoffs over the past few years, except for Tony often playing more than 40 minutes, Greg has been strictly restricting Tim and Manu's (this chapter is not over!)
Chapter 59 That's a homonym
Playing time, if they still have a time limit today, the Spurs can't fight us for a whole game. Even if Greg wants to work hard, I doubt whether Tim and Manu still have the physical fitness. "

As the person who knows the Spurs best on the Warriors, he spent a lot of energy on tactical arrangements.

Most of the Warriors' tactics in this round of the series are determined based on his suggestions. He is fully confident that the Spurs will not be the Warriors' opponents. Even if the two teams are playing evenly now, the Warriors seem to have no advantage at all.

Subsequently, the Spurs and the Warriors launched a confrontation on the court. The Spurs couldn't defend against Curry and Butler's attack, and the Warriors didn't have much to do with the Spurs' various scoring methods.

The Warriors' unlimited defenses effectively limit the Spurs' dynamic offense, but gdpk doesn't just shoot simple shots. When it comes time to attack, they are also unambiguous.

Duncan's unpretentious 45-degree mid-range hits, Parker's quick throws after an extremely fast charge, and Ginobili's coquettish snake-like breakthroughs are all important reliance on the offensive end of the Spurs.

And the Warriors have to change defenses infinitely, but also shrink the frame. Parker and Ginobili's breakthroughs are very sharp, and the breakthroughs are accurate, supplemented by Gary Neal, Matt Bonner, Wilson Chandler, etc. A high-quality shooter, the Spurs' offensive efficiency in the first half was very high.

The Warriors rely on Curry and Butler to score in singles. Clay's sharper off-ball offense is also an important weapon for the Warriors, but he needs to mark Parker and spend a lot of energy on the defensive end. The offensive efficiency inevitably drops a lot. .

Clay's current offense is still lacking, and he is not a stamina monster. Curry and Butler have taken up more than half of the ball. Waiting for the next season will be the time for him to shine.

After the first half, the Warriors and the Spurs scored 64:67, and the Spurs still had a 3-point lead.

The lagging behind in the first half also cooled the hot atmosphere in the Oracle Center a lot. The Spurs are old and getting stronger, which makes these loyal Warriors fans feel a little uneasy. Is playoff experience really that important?But the Warriors also have a lot of experience, why can't they beat the Spurs in the first half...

However, when these fans were uneasy, they did not notice that the veterans of the Spurs were already sweating and out of breath after the fierce fighting in the first half, especially the gdp combination. …

This world is fair, if you want to get something, you must give something.

The reason why the Spurs were able to lead the Warriors in the first half was because of the strong attack of the GDP combination regardless of physical strength. Otherwise, with the Warriors' strong front line and inside defense, they would definitely not be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Spurs.

And this made Duncan, Parker and Ginobili exhausted a lot of physical strength. Duncan and Parker had to face the Warriors' strict defense against scoring. Zhang Yu sent Thomas Jr., Danny Green, Tony Allen, Leonard in the transition period. The three-back lineup formed with Whiteside, and Tony Allen was sent to guard Ginobili, which made the Argentine demon knife very uncomfortable, and it was very difficult to score every time.

On the other hand, the Warriors players were all in high spirits, as if the first half was just a warm-up, and everyone was still physically fit, looking forward to the second half of the game wholeheartedly, not paying attention to the slight disadvantages in the first half.

……

During the intermission, in the TV5 studio, Yu Jia and Yang Yi analyzed the first half of the game and made a look forward to the second half of the game. Yu Jia looked at the statistics and said:
"The Warriors and the Spurs were evenly matched in the first half. The Warriors scored mainly on Curry, Butler, and Clay. The others didn't score much. The Spurs' scores were scattered, but it can be seen intuitively. The core of the Spurs' offense is Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, and the gdp combination takes up most of the Spurs' points and assists..."

Holding a ballpoint pen in his right hand, Yang Yi gestured in the air:

"This is very interesting, because the Warriors and the Spurs have the same defensive strategy, both of which are to block and enlarge, that is, to lock up the opponent's role players, let the opponent's star attack, and kill me if you have the ability. From the first half From the looks of it, the defensive strategies of both sides have failed.”

"Will the Warriors and Spurs change their defense in the second half?" Yu Jia asked.

Yang Yi shook his head without hesitation:
"No, Zhang Yu and (this chapter is not over!)
Chapter 59 That's a homonym
***Vich is a very determined person. They will not change tactics easily, especially when there is no obvious disadvantage. Therefore, in the second half, the two sides will continue to test the attacking ability of the opponent's star. Which side's star can maintain the upper hand? The offensive efficiency of the half court, which side can have the advantage. "

"Then who do you think will win the second half, the Warriors or the Spurs?" Yu Jia asked.

In fact, he has his own views on this, but as the host, he must let the commentators express their own opinions, instead of overwhelming the guests.

"Warrior." Yang Yi said without hesitation.

"Oh why?"

"Because the Warriors have Curry!" Yang Yi said categorically, "I said before the start of the game that no one in the Spurs can defend Curry. The first half proved this. Curry scored 15 points in the half. It's also 30, if the Spurs continue to defend Curry like this in the second half, they can't win."

"But Parker and Ginobili's performance in the first half was not bad, and Duncan also scored a lot. Can they not match Curry's score?" Yang Yi shook his head with a smile:

"In the past, these three were all well-known figures, but people have to accept their old age. They can score in the first half, but it doesn't mean they can play like this in the second half. We just saw it from the broadcast footage. Parker Sweat dripped down his face like a river, that was tiring! The Warriors are already good at playing in the third quarter, and the "Crazy Bravery" is not called for nothing."…

"And what level of character is Curry now? That's the number one point guard, No.1 in the league! There are more GDP champions than Curry, but in terms of offense alone, the current GDP plus one can't compare to Curry, otherwise Can the Warriors win the championship?"

Yu Jiaqi said:

"Didn't you admire Paul the most before? Even though his performance was mediocre in the past few years, you firmly believed that Paul was the number one point guard in the league. Why did you change your tune now?"

"Is there?" Yang Yi's complexion changed slightly, and then he smiled, "That's old history. Curry only sent Paul home in the last round of the series. The strength is clear at a glance, and Curry has only debuted for a few years. , scoring champion, mvp, and championship. Paul is far behind him. In the position of point guard, if Curry ranks second, who dares to be the first? And Curry is not only the first point guard, but also No.1 in the league, the gold content of mvp fmvp in a single season is too high, and Paul is far behind Curry."

Yu Jia was amazed and joked:

"Hehe, it shouldn't be, you just said a few days ago that Paul is the god of point guards!"

Yang Yi's complexion changed again, but a smile appeared on his face immediately, and said:

"That's a homophonic stalk, called for fun. In fact, everyone knows that Curry is the number one point guard. If you really want to say the god of point guards, it has to be Curry. From the perspective of history, it is "Magic" "Master" Johnson, Paul is still far away... I was joking too. Speaking of which, I prepared a batch of Curry's T-shirts, which really printed "No. No.1, friends who are interested can check mine, if you are like me, have confidence in the Warriors, and you can also pre-order the Warriors championship T-shirt... Ahem, let’s get back to business, let’s talk about the game..."

……

The intermission time passed quickly, and the players of the two teams returned to the field for the second half of the game.

Although he rested for 15 minutes, the faces of the Spurs veterans still had a faint look of exhaustion, especially Duncan.

The older you get, the longer it takes to recover.

The young warriors rested for 15 minutes, but they were all refreshed and returned to a lively state.

Zhang Yu watched the players go to the field and nodded with satisfaction, while Vicky had his arms crossed and his expression was very serious.

On the field, the Spurs attacked, Parker and Duncan picked and rolled, the Warriors switched defenses, Parker passed the ball to Duncan who was running down.

Duncan misplaced his back and hit Clay, turned around with a small hook with his right hand, and missed the basket under Clay's interference.

The rebound was grabbed by Chandler, and the Warriors immediately pushed back.

Green advanced with the ball in the middle, Curry and Butler flew together on both wings, Green passed the ball to Curry, Curry made a gesture to shoot, after attracting the defense, he hit the ball to Butler, Butler flew into the air, one-handed The split was successful, 66:67.

Round transition, Parker and Duncan pick and roll, use Duncan's screen to break through to the inside, pass Green, and encounter (this chapter is not over!)

Chandler's help defense, the ball to Splitter under the basket.

Split received the ball and was about to layup, but Green came out of the diagonal stab and directly slapped Split's layup.

"Green's block! After being passed by Parker, he turned directly to find Splitter. He was very decisive. As long as Green took a step slower, Splitter's layup would definitely not miss!" Yu Jia said.

Yang Yi took over the conversation:

"The Warriors counterattacked, Curry passed Butler, Butler crossed Clay, and Clay chased for a three-pointer! The Warriors overtook!"
