warrior godfather

Basketball fans all over the world are amazed at Curry's strength, no matter whether he supports the Warriors or the Heat.

In the third quarter, after the Warriors' Death Five came on the court, whether with the ball or without the ball, Curry used all means, with only one purpose, and that was to send the ball into the basket.

He seamlessly switches between various modes, like a misty wind, unpredictable, and the Heat's defense is all ineffective against him. Wade is clumsy like a puppet, being led by the nose by Curry, looking at a loss.

Ten years ago, he had the confidence to match up with any superstar on the perimeter, but now, his knees are no longer strong enough to support him to do so.

However, besides him, who else can chase Curry?

When Spoelstra gave up the flanking attack on Curry, Wade became the only candidate. Even if he couldn't guard Curry, he had to be on the front line.

Curry gave Wade the greatest respect, that is to go all out
Wade was miserable, but he could only grit his teeth to support it.

With his experience and tenacity, he still managed to interfere with Curry's shots a few times. With Chalmers, Curry really became like no one in the land.

However, the Heat were not completely defeated anyway. The 11-point difference did not sentence the Heat to death. They still had a chance in the fourth quarter.

When the Heat players left the court, Ray Allen was treated like a hero. His three three-pointers hung the Heat's life.

But if the Heat want to win, they still have to rely on the Big Three. James, Wade, and Bosh all looked very dignified, and the pressure all came to their shoulders.

On the contrary, Spoelstra seemed a lot more relaxed. He has used all available methods, and if he makes adjustments, he will continue to pinch Curry and bet that other Warriors players will not make it.

At this moment, he suddenly thanked Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's tactics are simple and clear, so simple that any fan who knows a little bit of basketball can see it.

The Warriors' offense relies on two advantages-Curry and space.

If you want to limit Curry, the Warriors' space can play a role, and if you want to limit the Warriors' shooters, Curry can kill the Quartet.

It's impossible for the Heat to guard Curry without allowing the Warriors' shooters to get open.

So no matter how Spoelstra chooses, the fans will not blame him too much, because he has repeatedly crossed the two aspects of flanking Curry and defending Curry alone.

The Warriors' attack today is unsolvable. Both bottles of poison are highly poisonous. No matter which bottle is chosen, the final result is likely to be death.

However, the Heat are not dead yet, and Spoelstra must continue to make choices, although this will make him extremely painful.

In the face of Super God Curry, Spoelstra chose to drink poison to quench his thirst.

Even if you lose in the end, you have to lose with dignity.

……

Compared with the twists and turns in the third quarter, the game in the fourth quarter was much flatter.

Although at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Heat fans rekindled their hopes, but this hope was quickly shattered with the debut of the Warriors' death five.

After the start of the fourth quarter, people were surprised to find that the Heat's main lineup did not rest. The Big Three remained on the court, but Chalmers was replaced by Mike Miller.

Yang Yi quickly reacted and said with emotion:
"The Heat are desperately trying to recover the point difference while Curry is away, and the main players are not resting."

Zhang Weiping said:
"It's time to fight hard. If the Heat lose this game, the last two games will be played at the Warriors' home court, and the home court advantage is all in the hands of the Warriors. It will be difficult to fight. The Heat must fight. "

The Heat's desperate move had immediate results.

The Heat players also know that their time is precious, and the point difference must be wiped out as soon as possible. Curry may return to the court at any time. After all, they can kill the main force, and so can the Warriors.

With the determination and momentum to win, the Heat launched a wave of offensive against the bench lineup led by Butler and Kerai.

The Warriors tried their best to resist, but the strength gap between the two sides was too large, and Butler's dream of traveling off the peak was shattered. He couldn't defend James, and couldn't open the offense.

In just 2 minutes,
The Big Three of the Heat played in turns, closing the point difference to only 5 points.

When Zhang Yu saw it, he could only call a timeout and switch back to the death five, but replaced Butler and Kelai who had not rested in the second half, and replaced them with Danny Green and Parsons.

After Curry turned on the big core mode of holding the ball, the Warriors' need for Butler's ability to hold the ball is not so urgent. Today's Curry only needs the shooter to help him open up space, and he can solve all problems by himself.

After Curry returned to the court, the Heat's offensive was immediately resolved.

Leonard and Green's defense is strong enough, and Danny Green and Parsons are not mediocre. This shrunk version of the dead five is not much worse than the original dead five's defense.

On the offensive end, Curry alone can make up for the lack of Kelai and Butler.

Coincidentally, maybe Spoelstra had already made a plan, maybe he saw Danny Green and Parsons on the field, and he had a temporary idea. The Heat's defense changed again and began to pinch Curry.

But Curry is already familiar with the flanking attack, and Danny Green and Parsons are also well integrated into the offensive system of the Death Five. They don’t need to do anything, they just need to wait in the bottom corner and receive the pass from their teammates , Just shoot a three-pointer.

And Danny Green's three-point shooting percentage is even higher than that of Clay. Parsons' shooting percentage is not as good as Danny Green's, but it is also 41%, which is higher than Butler.

In fact, in Zhang Yu's previous life, Parsons averaged 39 minutes per game in this season's playoffs, shooting 45.2% from the field and 40% from the three-point range.[email protected]His outstanding performance in the playoffs is an important reason why the Mavericks offered him a big contract.

Although Parsons' role in the Warriors is not that important, he still averaged 18.6 minutes per game during the playoffs. He is a very important rotation player for the Warriors, scoring 8.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

Parsons and Danny Green are enough to replace [-]% of the role of Claire and Butler on the offensive end, and this is enough.

Under the gravitational effect of Ku, the rest of the Warriors got a lot of vacancies, among which Danny Green and Parsons had the most vacant opportunities.

The Heat players deliberately let the two go, and strictly guarded the more famous Green and Leonard.

But in fact, their shooting is better than Green and Leonard, and they are also big-hearted players. They appeared in the fourth quarter of the finals, and they were relentless. They had a high degree of confidence in open three-pointers, which severely punished the Heat. empty.

After Danny Green and Parsons made three-pointers in turn, the point difference narrowed by the Heat was opened again.

The Heat did not give up, but their efforts to chase points had little effect.

The main players have to pay the price. Not everyone has the physical strength of James and can play the whole game. The main players of the Heat soon feel tired, and Wade is especially overwhelmed. Spoelstra had to take him off the court to rest.

Even James himself began to feel tired. He needs to put in all his strength on both ends of the offense and defense, and his physical energy is too exhausted.

"James is tired..." Yang Yi said this more than once.

In fact, Curry is also tired, scoring 48 points, which also requires physical energy, especially in Curry's shots, there are a lot of ultra-long three-pointers, and he often needs to run without the ball to find opportunities to score.

If Curry is allowed to continue to swing, his offensive efficiency will also decline.

But the heat's pincers helped Curry. Under the tight pincers, he only needs to make no mistakes in the ball and let his teammates deal with four-on-three. He doesn't need to let go like the first three quarters, and his physical consumption is greatly reduced. .

This is equivalent to the Warriors using a new force to fight against the exhausted division that the Heat have been fighting fiercely. They can always maintain an efficient offense, and the point difference is getting bigger and bigger until it returns to double digits.

At this time, Kelai and Butler also rested long enough, and Zhang Yu replaced them on the court. Danny Green and Parsons scored 7 points and 8 points respectively, successfully completing their tasks. At that time, it was highly praised by Zhang Yu.

At the same time, Zhang Yu replaced Leonard with Chandler, and no longer used Chandler.
The five dead, returned to the normal lineup.

At this time, there are still 3 minutes and 12 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter. The Warriors lead the Heat by 12 points.

Zhang Yu's substitution extinguished the Heat's last hope of a comeback. Chandler, who barely played in the second half, was full of energy.

The Heat still did not give up their efforts. This is the finals, the battle of Tianwangshan, and no one will choose to give up until the last moment.

But the Warriors firmly controlled the situation of the game. In every offensive round, Curry now spends a lot of time at the top of the arc before launching an attack.

He didn't call the pick-and-roll anymore, and directly singled out Wade. First, he made a mid-range step-back shot, and then broke through the railing for a layup, completely killing the game.

These 4 points are also all the points Curry scored in the fourth quarter. His scoring in this game was fixed at 52 points, which did not break James' record of 56 points.

But Curry sent 4 assists in the fourth quarter, and there were many points after attracting pincers, which were not included in the technical statistics, but created open shooting opportunities for his teammates.

The Heat's catching up at the last moment was more like a dying struggle unwilling to fail. After wasting a few opportunities, James and Ray Allen each made a three-pointer to narrow the point difference, but time was running out used.

In the end, the Heat stopped making unnecessary fouls. The Warriors defeated the Heat and took a 3:2 lead, taking the lead in winning the match point!

This turbulent battle of Tianwang Mountain came to an end.

After the game, James did not stay to shake hands with the Warriors players. He left the court and walked to the player tunnel.

He played very well in this game. He played 44 minutes, made 21 of 10 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 10 of 7 free throws, scored 29 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In addition to making outstanding contributions, the efficiency is not low.

Wade and Bosh's performance was not bad either. They scored 21 points and 17 points respectively. In the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, they showed the strength of giants.

However, someone in the Warriors team was cheating. Curry scored 52 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal in a super double-double, and hit 10 three-pointers, breaking the record for three-pointers in a single game in the Finals.

If it weren't for the Heat's attack on Curry in the fourth quarter, it is very possible for him to hit 60. In that case, the Heat will not only lose, but also become the worst background board in NBA history.

Spoelstra's defensive strategy of repeated horizontal jumps seemed to prevent anything, but it saved a bit of face for the Heat.

After all, the other players of the Warriors are also in very good condition in this game. Kerai scored 15 points, Butler scored 17 points, Leonard scored 13 points, Green scored 11 points. , Parsons, who scored 7 points, also made his own contribution.

While the superstar shines, it has also achieved multiple blooms. This is inseparable from the strength of the Warriors players, but it is also inseparable from Spoelzla's tactics of repeated horizontal jumps.

In the post-match interview, some reporters questioned Spoelstra's frequently changing defensive strategy. Spoelstra said:
"I'm just trying to figure out how to win. We haven't had a big problem with our offense, but we haven't stopped the Warriors' offense, so I have to try differently. Unfortunately, my efforts failed. The five small lineups of the Warriors are too open, and I don’t have enough defensive resources, so I have to give up. I made many choices, but I failed in the end... But we still have a chance, this is not the end, we will not take it lightly give up……"

Spoelstra's response obviously did not satisfy the reporters, nor did it satisfy the Heat fans.

Yes, there is no problem with the performance of the Big Three. The important signing Ray Allen also performed at a super level, and other role players have also made their own contributions. We must find someone to take the blame!

After all, the Heat are a super team that has formed the Big Three. Could it be that their hard power is not as good as the Warriors?
This is absolutely impossible!

Therefore, Spoelstra became the best candidate to take the blame, and the reporters also wanted to pin the blame on him.

But Spoelstra is not stupid. His tactics in the fourth quarter are to let people see that the Heat really can't defend the Warriors. This is not a problem with his tactics, but a problem with the Heat's configuration.

Of course, Spoelstra still puts victory first, but he did not expect that Danny Green and Parsons, two second-round picks, played their best in the crucial fourth quarter of the finals. Huge effect.

He had to admire Zhang Yu's vision of seeing people and his decisiveness in employing people. He also had to admit that compared with Zhang Yu, he still had a big gap.

The Heat's game, from superstars to role players to the head coach, was an all-round failure.
