Chapter 431 "Tough guy" also shed tears
Chapter 431 "Tough guy" also sheds tears (chapter with ten thousand words)
In G3 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors returned to their home court completely let go of their hands and feet. The most notable change is the quality of the screen.
In the away game, the referee whistled for illegal screens occasionally. After returning to the home court, these problems did not exist.
In such a critical game, Steve Kerr naturally had to go all out. In the first quarter of the game, Curry, Durant, and Clay took turns to breathe a sigh of relief.
In the rotation stage of the second quarter, the three continued to play, and Green was still on the court. David West came up to help veteran Iguodala for 2 minutes.
The Clippers only replaced Jokic and Tucker in the main lineup, and Plumlee and Gordon had a normal rotation.
In order to create shooting opportunities for Curry, single screens can't work, and G3 added more double screens.
During the rotation phase, the main attacker became Curry, and the Warriors took the lead in attacking.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
The shouts of the Warriors fans became louder and louder. Curry still handed over the ball after halftime. Green, who was at the top of the arc, received the pass and immediately observed the situation on the field.
Durant made crazy shots in the first quarter. At this time, Paul George's defensive aggressiveness was full, and he kept half-circling forward, giving physical confrontation.
There was no opportunity to attack in the left block zone, and Green, who was holding the top of the ball arc in his left hand, immediately changed direction and switched to his right hand to protect the ball behind his back.
After Curry cuts in from the middle, David West, who is near the baseline on the left, screens first, and then comes to a position close to the right flank, and Clay, who is on the line, makes another cross screen.
After the cross screen of the two shooters, Clay ran to the right corner, and Curry continued to bounce out and move to the right flank.
Eric Gordon switched defenses in front of Curry, and quickly adjusted his defensive focus before approaching the three-point line. Curry, who came to the right wing, received a pass from Green at the top of the arc at this time, without any shaking, after receiving the ball Pull it up and throw it away!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
It was rare to hit a three-pointer in a sports game at the beginning of the game. Curry spat out his braces excitedly and accelerated all the way along the sideline to complete the retreat.
Gordon, who switched defenses in front of Curry, was a little speechless. It was obvious that Curry bullied him for not being tall enough, so he shot confidently in front of him
After the Warriors studied the Clippers' lineup, they finally found some weaknesses. Both sides tried to minimize the playing time of rotation players, which is also for this reason.
Seeing that the Warriors retreated quickly, Li Ze no longer pursued speed. He was ready for Stephen Curry to explode.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Warriors fans stood up and loudly helped the home team defend and cheer.
Green, who was standing in front of Harris, saw Li Ze waving his hand, and immediately switched defenses with teammate David West. Tonight, he wanted to show his tough attitude!
When the Clippers play the pick-and-roll, they usually clear one side. Plumlee quickly lifts up, and Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, suddenly dribbles behind his back twice in a row after the opponent stands still.
The body swayed, and after adjusting his footsteps, he briefly threw off Clay's defense, and accelerated to pass the ball on the left side of Plumlee with his left hand.
Green, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately switched up and tried to delay. After the pick-and-roll, Plumlee also rolled down immediately.
When he got to the defensive position, he switched positions with David West immediately, and Clay defended in front of Harris again.
Obviously the Warriors have made sufficient preparations and will no longer expose their weaknesses to Li Ze.
Green on the left flank realized that he was going to defend Li Ze one-on-one. After lowering his center of gravity, he quickly clapped his hands and put a buff on himself.
Strictly speaking, this is not a big fight. Green has excellent defensive ability, and the fans at the scene also shouted. In everyone's opinion, this can be regarded as a grudge.
Li Ze, who is holding the ball in his left hand, didn't shake too much when facing Green who was on defense. He slightly raised his body's center of gravity and then suddenly accelerated, crossing back close to the three-point line.
Green, who had just slid back to the right, hurriedly adjusted his defensive focus, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, paused slightly, leaned his body to the left, and dribbled the ball twice very quickly on the spot.
Under the shaking from left to right, Green, who was focused on defense, was a little dazed. When he was slightly dazed, the ball returned to Li Ze, his body swayed to the right, and his body changed direction significantly.
Green's defense failed to respond in time, and Li Ze instantly passed the ball with his left hand.
The fans at the scene exclaimed, and the fans in the back row only felt that Li Ze had dribbled the ball twice, and then Green was stuck in place like a wooden stake.
Cursing secretly, Green hurriedly slid to the right and rear, quickly chasing and defending into the paint area.
Seeing Li Ze expose the ball, Green pulled his arm subconsciously.
Li Ze took advantage of the opportunity to lean on his body, then directly joined the ball, quickly lifted it up, and completed the throw while walking!
"Squeak! Swish!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in, and there were boos everywhere. Green even had a question mark on his face, and immediately complained loudly to the linesman:
"Hey!! It's him hanging on my arm, I didn't take the initiative to foul at all!"
Turning his head and seeing Li Ze standing on the free throw line waiting for the free throw, Green was furious again.
Before the game, the coaching staff repeatedly urged not to fall into a foul crisis prematurely. As a result, the second quarter just started, and Green received his third foul.
The referee really didn't want to blow it, but this action was too obvious. After a brief explanation, he immediately signaled the players on both sides to stand up. Li Ze was about to make a free throw.
Paul George saw that Green was still complaining endlessly, leaning on his knees next to the paint area and mockingly said:
"If you don't foul, you won't make free throws. Will you get DPOY this season?"
After the rhetorical question, Paul George immediately shook his head, expressing his skepticism.
There was a lot of noise at the scene, but Green still heard what Paul George said, and immediately responded loudly:
"Best defensive second team? Look at how many points you let Kevin score in this live game?"
No matter how strong the smell of gunpowder between the two is, there will be no direct confrontation. In the Clippers' tactical system, Paul George rarely plays pick-and-rolls. Therefore, both sides have a good time.
The fans at the scene couldn't hear what the two were saying, but watched the two sides look excited and booed accordingly.
After Li Zejia made the free throw, he immediately clapped his hands to signal everyone to retreat quickly. Playing at the opponent's home court, too many mistakes cannot be tolerated.
At 31:31, the two sides drew again.
Stephen Curry began to run tirelessly, and the Warriors coaching staff are not fools. Curry has excellent scoring explosiveness, so he naturally has to use it.
Li Ze couldn't squeeze through the screen at first, and everyone in the Clippers was forced to switch defenses. Gordon watched helplessly as Curry threw a three-pointer after double-screening on the right wing, which broke the defense for a while.
"A blind chicken can also be thrown in?"
After only two rounds, Li Ze already understood the strategy of the Warriors and tried his best to start the game. Dulan finished with Curry and continued.
Coach De Nagro couldn't help complaining to the lineman about the Warriors' cover, but he was destined not to get a response. This is the home field advantage, and the league also hopes that the game between the two sides can reach the end.
Curry's three-pointer completely boiled the Oracle Arena, and at the same time gave the Warriors a strong shot.
Green, who returned to defense, was still screaming, beating his chest frantically, and at the same time raised his hands to signal the fans on the scene to continue to get restless.
Curry scored, Green played X, and the Warriors seemed to find their familiar offensive rhythm.
Li Ze deliberately slowed down, making the opponent uncomfortable is his principle.
After coming to the right wing, he immediately threw the ball to Paul George who bounced from the right corner, and then took advantage of the opportunity to make a down screen and quickly ran to the right corner.
Clay naturally chased and defended all the way, and Li Ze, who came to the bottom corner on the right, did not stop, but started to shoot diagonally outward again.
With the cover of Plumlee in the paint, Li Ze quickly ran to the left flank outside the three-point line.
The rest of the Clippers followed suit. Harris, who was in the right corner, cut in from left to right along the baseline without the ball. Gordon, who was originally on the left wing, quickly ran to the left corner.
Green hurriedly signaled David West to switch defenses. When Li Ze received a pass from Paul George at the top of the arc on the left wing, the Warriors, who had successfully communicated defensively, switched Green to Li Ze.
David West was well protected for two consecutive rounds. After receiving the pass, Li Ze immediately swayed left and right, released the ball with his right hand, and accelerated his breakthrough with cross steps.
Green, who had just gained a firm footing, quickly slid back and forth to the left, and when he broke through to the left elbow of the free throw line, Li Ze suddenly pulled back sharply.
Green had no time to adjust his defensive focus. After the emergency stop, Li Ze did not slow down. After switching to his left hand, he continued to hold the ball and accelerate the breakthrough.
After the sudden stop and quick start, Green stayed on the spot, completely lost his defensive position, fouled three times on his back, and did not dare to pull.
Li Ze easily broke through to the basket, jumped with both feet, quickly vacated, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and made a powerful tomahawk dunk!
"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
"Shhh!!"
Easy scoring, Li Ze was not interested in celebrating. He shook his head at the Warriors and quickly retreated with small steps.
"Shet!"
Green found that there seemed to be no difference between himself and David West. They were both passed by in one step. After cursing secretly, he hurriedly clapped his hands passionately and continued to encourage himself.
The two teams quickly became one who fights you and one who fights me. With the blessing of double screens, Curry got a lot of shooting opportunities. Coupled with the hot hand tonight, Curry helped the Warriors score consecutive points for a while. .
Even with the main lineup brought back by both sides, Curry did not stop his scoring.
With 6 minutes and 02 seconds left in the second quarter, Jokic returned to the court after a timeout.
Faced with a high pick-and-roll in the first round after his debut, Li Ze struggled to squeeze past Green's screen and chased Curry behind him. Jokic, who retreated to defend, did not change his defensive principles and watched Curry forcefully shoot a three-pointer at the top of the arc!
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!
After holding back two games and finally opening the offense, Curry roared loudly after scoring a goal, and vented his depression with continuous punches.
When Durant also needed the ball, the Warriors coaching staff chose to let the two play one by one. This change avoided the link where everyone lined up to try their hand.
Hitting three three-pointers in a row, Curry is in a very hot state. The Oracle Arena is completely boiling at this time. This is the Curry everyone is familiar with!
In away games, Li Ze is always expressionless. Even if Curry makes crazy shots, he just silently increases his possession of the ball.
The Warriors threw a three-pointer, and Li Ze continued to rush to the basket step by step. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate.
After the return of the main lineup, the Warriors naturally adjusted their defensive strategy. When Li Ze held the ball on the left flank outside the three-point line, Green moved back and forth near the basket.
In response to Li Ze's breakthrough, the Warriors used Green's defensive ability to protect the basket off the line.
Seeing Li Zebi's tactical gesture, Jokic immediately moved to the three-point line, stood still and performed a pick-and-roll on the left flank.
Iguodala, who is in charge of man-marking Li Ze, has a big head. If it is really better than the quality of the screen, the Clippers are much better. The white fat man is very suitable for pick-and-rolls.
Struggling to squeeze through the screen, Iguodala finally bumped into Jokic. Seeing that Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, continued to accelerate, he could only loudly remind his teammates to switch defenses.
Green had already gathered all his strength, and when he saw Li Ze rushing into the three-point line, he immediately slid quickly, resisting with his body on his side, trying to slow down Li Ze.
The two came to the left block position. Li Ze, who was walking, suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back. .
The silky dribbling action caused cheers in the Oracle Arena. Green, who lost his defensive position, tried to block Li Ze at the bottom line, but found that he could not catch up at all.
The huge stride made Li Ze come to the bottom right of the basket in the blink of an eye, twisting his body and taking advantage of the opportunity to complete the reverse dunk!
"Shhh!!"
The wonderful dunk made the boos of Oracle Arena even louder. Curry's three-pointer was beautiful, but most fans still liked dunks.
After the booing, there were faint cheers, and the Clippers fans present couldn't hold back!
Steve Kerr on the sidelines saw that the Warriors' inside line was pierced again, and there was no good way for a while.
As long as it is a player who has played against Li Ze, he will eventually become Li Zechui, and everyone has to save face. It's not that we are not good enough, but the opponent is really not human.
"Keep defending! I'll do my job!"
Li Ze broke through for several rounds in a row, Green hurriedly clapped his hands passionately, thumped his chest twice, and continued to cheer himself up.
Iguodala on the side shook his head in his heart, just complaining in the locker room by himself, there is no need to make irresponsible remarks to the media.
The Clippers did not play many pick-and-rolls in the first two games. Obviously, Li Ze came here tonight for Green.
The scores of the two sides rose alternately. Steve Kerr saw that even if Li Ze was double-teamed successfully, as long as Jokic at the free throw line received the ball, the tactics could continue.
After receiving the pass, Jokic put the ball with his right hand at the free throw line and immediately sent a hand-off pass to Paul George on the left wing.
After a feint, he successfully received the ball, and Paul George, who was holding the ball in his left hand, took advantage of the opportunity and went straight to the basket at the top of the arc, continuing to break through the Warriors' inside line.
Facing Durant, who was helping to defend and shrink, Paul George twisted his body and threw the ball to Harris in the right corner after jumping.
With no defense, Harris hit a wide open three-pointer steadily.
With Curry's mid-range throw at the end of the half, the Oracle Arena was completely boiling.
Curry, who scored crazy points, pumped his fist again excitedly, and ran to the player channel bouncing up and down.
At 57:62, after halftime, with the excellent performance of Curry and Durant, the Warriors entered the second half with a 5-point lead.
5 points is not a small difference between the two teams, and it will take at least two rounds to catch up!
Mark Jackson returned to his smiling face. Although the commentary should be neutral, as the former head coach of the Warriors, he still hopes that the team's results can go further:
"Perfect play, Stephen Curry finally responded!"
“13中8，三分线外10中6，罚球1中1，23分3篮板1助攻1失误，系列赛进行到现在，这是库里表现最好的一场比赛！”
Jeff Van Gundy looked at the technical statistics and also lamented the star's ability:
“15中7，三分线外2中1，罚球1中1，16分6篮板2助攻1失误，杜兰特也表现得十分高效。”
"The two contributed 39 points together, scoring more than half of the team's points!"
The commentator Mike Breen only felt that the Warriors had completely become a singles team, but leading at halftime, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with such a tactic:
"What I care more about is that both Green and Durant have received three fouls. Maybe the Clippers' strategy has also succeeded."
In Oracle Arena, Warriors fans don't remember that the team's interior almost encountered a foul crisis. After all, the referee seldom whistled in the second half of the second quarter.
In the Clippers locker room, Paul George couldn't help complaining about the referee's whistle-blowing scale tonight:
"If I remember correctly, Green received his third foul very early and was not replaced. We kept breaking through the inside, and as a result, the fourth foul was not called."
For the referee's whistleblowing, Li Ze has already known it in his heart. Obviously, the league hopes to see both sides protect the home court, and then there will be a battle in Tianwangshan.
Regarding the adjustment of the Warriors in the second half, Li Ze could roughly guess it. Seeing Jokic drinking heavily with a water bottle, he immediately reminded:
"Nicolas, if Curry's touch drops, the opponent will continue to attack the basket and control the number of fouls!"
Jokic has already experienced the high-quality coverage of the Warriors tonight, and he knows that sometimes the team's perimeter cannot protect him.
"No problem, I like to play 2s together!"
"The opponent took another 15 shots from the three-point line in the half, maybe this is a good thing for us!"
Li Ze nodded in satisfaction. What he had to do at this time was to stabilize the rhythm. With 57 points in the half game, the Clippers had no problem with their offense.
Before the coaching staff returned to the locker room, Li Ze exhorted again loudly:
"We did a good job rebounding, continue to maintain this focus, and don't worry about missing long rebounds!"
The Warriors threw too many three-pointers, and it was inevitable that some long rebounds would be picked up by the opponent. The coaching staff was in charge of the chicken soup. Li Ze remembered to remind his teammates to pay attention to the details at this time.
The Clippers are all tools, and their style of play is becoming more and more simple and rough. The Warriors can't stand it, so they double-team Li Ze, and then play more and less on the other side.
If no one is double-teaming, then Li Ze will be singles on the flanks. Steve Kerr feels a little helpless looking at the technical statistics at halftime.
15 of 11, 4 of 2 from outside the three-point line, Li Ze scored 28 points in the half, no mid-range, and most of them were concentrated near the paint.
The two-point shooting rate exceeds 8%, but if the three-pointer is missed, the Warriors will already be behind.
It is rare for big players to hit such a shooting percentage at the basket. This outrageous performance has seen the Warriors coaching staff sweating.
Green in the locker room was still giving a passionate speech, and Li Ze selectively forgot the fact that he exploded in the half game.
"5 points difference, without two rounds, the opponent can't catch us at all, hey! Do a good job of defense, with Kevin and Stephen on the offensive end, we will win tonight!"
While clapping his hands, Green encouraged his teammates with the spirit victory method. As long as everyone doesn't care about Li Ze's stats, they won't feel the oppression brought by the monster.
Curry, who was fully output in the half, sat in his seat and kept panting. Except for facing Jokic in a few rounds, the Clippers' defense brought him great trouble.
However, Curry fully agrees with what Green said, and it is the first time in the series that he has taken the initiative to speak out:
"We will win tonight's game, the series has just begun, I'm ready!"
Durant also felt that everyone played very well in the halftime game, and he was very satisfied with the adjustment of the coaching staff. The two took turns to let go, and the game should be played like this!
Steve Kerr entered the locker room and found that the players were in high spirits. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. This game really cannot be lost again:
"Excellent halftime game, remember, what we need is stable scoring. If the outside touch is not there, we can also stand on the free throw line!"
"Always remember, this is our home field!"
Without talking about chicken soup, Steve Kerr kept reminding his players what to pay attention to in the second half. What he worried most about was the sudden power outage of the team's offense.
After the start of the second half of the game, the Warriors fans in the Oracle Arena went completely berserk. The victory is in sight, and the shouting is over!
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
A baseline kick was made, and amid the cheers of the fans, Curry quickly dribbled across the half court and continued to cross the ball. Green received the ball at the top of the arc and immediately gave the ball to Clay on the right wing.
After receiving the ball, Clay immediately broke through with the ball in his right hand, and Tucker's defense pushed him into the right block. Clay immediately protected the ball with his back, hit twice, quickly turned up the line, and made a strong mid-range shot. !
At 57:64, the point difference came to 7 points, and the Warriors fans on the scene screamed excitedly, only thinking that the game has been stabilized!
The Clippers sent the baseline ball, but Li Ze did not speed up the offensive rhythm, and still dribbled steadily across the half.
Coming to the right flank beyond the three-point line, I noticed that the Warriors did not seem to adopt double-team defense. Before approaching the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly pushed the ball to change direction.
Iguodala, who had already been prepared for defense, slid to the right at the first moment. In the next second, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his left hand and immediately completed the change of direction under his crotch. pressure breakthrough.
Iguodala was half-blocked by Li Ze, and then he was pushed to the right block by the tank breakthrough.
Li Ze, who was firmly stuck in his position, immediately turned around as soon as he approached the paint area, dodged Iguodala's defense, came to the bottom right of the basket, and grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand to pick the basket!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily.
Li Ze's breakthrough speed was too fast, and Green, who was near the bottom line on the left, didn't even have time to respond in defense, and the Clippers' offense was over.
Iguodala did not show frustration at this time, but patted his chest, saying that the ball was his problem.
The movement range is huge, and Li Ze can quickly break through to the basket after being stuck in the position. The coaching staff of the Warriors has not been able to figure out how to defend Li Ze.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
Warriors fans don't care about Li Ze's offense anymore, as long as the team can respond, the victory still belongs to them!
Trying to help the team cheer, everyone in the Warriors was also brave. After the opening rounds, the starting players all scored.
At 65:70, the Clippers were still chasing after them.
After the high pick-and-roll, Curry tried a three-pointer for the first time in the third quarter. Green's screen quality was average. It seemed that Li Ze interfered from the side, and the trajectory of the ball was already crooked after the shot.
"state!"
The long basketball rebounded, and Tucker, who shrank to within the three-point line, grabbed the rebound in front of Clay and successfully received the rebound.
A pass to Jokic on the free throw line, the latter received the pass and vigorously threw the ball to Li Ze, who accelerated across the half court on the left flank.
The Warriors' on-the-spot delay didn't help, and Li Ze rushed through half court after passing the ball twice.
Green, who paid special attention to retreating, immediately stuck to Li Ze's right side, and even pulling secretly did not slow down Li Ze.
Just approaching the three-point line, he felt Green who was constantly sticking to the defense at his side. Li Ze, who was walking, suddenly stopped suddenly, blasted the ball vigorously with his left hand, and then retreated.
Green, who was accelerating, was staggered by Li Ze's sudden stop, and his sudden retreat made him completely lose his defensive position.
The left flank is still a big step away from the three-point line. Without any interference, Li Ze converted a three-pointer and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
At 68:70, the point difference was only two points in an instant.
The Warriors fans at the scene saw Li Ze raise his left hand to his ear, and began to make a listening gesture, and immediately booed again.
Steve Kerr hurriedly asked for a timeout, and he had to interrupt the Clippers' conversion attack.
In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans became nervous. Many fans stood up. They really didn't want to see the home team lose again.
The Clippers fans at the scene cheered for a while. Although they bought tickets for the big back row, everyone screamed again:
"Clippers in Four!"
The Warriors fans, who were a bit defensive, were already upset at this time, coupled with the booing of the Clippers fans around them, after the two sides quarreled, they immediately punched each other.
"Kayce will destroy you! The Warriors will never win a championship!"
The Clippers fan wearing Li Ze's jersey is a 1-meter-tall white man.
At this time, the Warriors fans on the scene were so stimulated that they rushed up screaming. The timeout here has not yet ended, and the melee has already begun in the auditorium in the back row.
All of a sudden there were yelling, cheering, and cheering. Obviously, there were fun fans who came to watch the game. At this time, they all went crazy
"I really like this game atmosphere! But Clippers fans should be careful, this is the home of the Warriors!"
Jeff Van Gundy cheerfully watched the fans fight passionately. Mark Jackson was not in such a good mood as his old partner, and said with some concern:
"The Warriors must seize the offensive opportunity in the next round, otherwise, the Clippers will definitely tie the game!"
The conflict between the fans on the scene was finally stopped by the security personnel, and everyone in the Warriors team was in no mood to pay attention to the fans. The mental victory method was no longer working at this time, and the sense of oppression brought by Li Ze began to come to mind.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
At the critical moment, the Warriors' tactic was to give the ball to Durant again. The cross-screening in the three-second zone finally allowed Durant to receive the pass in the left block position.
After completing the screen, Green immediately ran to the right side near the baseline, ready to fight for rebounds, and the rest of the Warriors pulled away one by one, and the stars played singles!
Paul George stuck to Durant's side as soon as he switched defenses, and kept giving physical confrontation to prevent Durant from releasing the ball easily.
The giant loop-style three-threat did not cause a foul. Facing Paul George's close defense, Durant finally put the ball with his right hand. Jump shot!
"state!"
The ball knocked out of the basket, and Jokic at the basket took advantage of his height and grabbed the rebound. Green behind him immediately stepped forward to press, preventing the Clippers from completing a pass.
The Warriors retreated quickly. After Li Ze received the pass, Iguodala immediately stepped forward to delay.
Li Ze, who released the ball with his right hand, took advantage of the opportunity to circle the ball behind his back, dodged the defense and then accelerated with his left hand.
Green, who was behind him, desperately chased Li Ze at this time, and the two planned to complete the double-team ahead of time, so that Li Ze could quickly throw the ball.
Iguodala made a small move to pull secretly, but found that Li Ze was advancing faster and faster.
Li Ze, who came to the left flank, showed no signs of slowing down. When he crushed and broke through and drove Iguodala to the left block position, he blew the ball vigorously with his left hand on the spot, and then suddenly retreated after an emergency stop.
Li Ze raised the ball and swayed it, and Iguodala was immediately swayed away, and Green behind him slowed down, preparing to block the shot.
When Li Ze faltered again, Green, who had chased behind him, immediately jumped up to block the shot, but unexpectedly, Li Ze still made a fake move.
It was too late to control the movement when it was falling, and Green could only watch helplessly as Li Ze hung on his arm, twisting his body and forcing a jump shot!
Iguodala in front of him took off again to block the block, but it didn't work.
"Squeak! Swish"
The referee blew the whistle and the ball went into the net. Exclamations and boos rang out in the Oracle Arena at the same time. The Warriors fans completely broke their defense at this moment. Is this going to overtake the score?
After completing the goal, Li Ze looked calm, tidied up his jersey, gave his teammates high-fives, and walked slowly to the free throw line.
Green felt that he was neglected again, and his anger surged up for a while, but he had no choice but to complain to the referee incompetently and furiously:
"Hey! The foul shouldn't be on my head!"
"."
Steve Kerr saw that Green received his fourth foul of the game and did not make a substitution at the critical moment. After Li Ze made the penalty, he immediately reminded his players loudly:
"Hold on! Break through to the inside to complete the offense!"
At 71:70, the Warriors fans at the scene saw that the Clippers had completed the overtake, and the noise was everywhere, and they couldn't stand it anymore!
Fortunately, with Durant in the Warriors, the referee decisively blew the whistle to kill the basket at the critical moment.
Coach De Nagro is naturally dissatisfied with the call. Paul George also received his third personal foul. If he calls again, he will have to leave the game early:
"Obvious offensive foul, my players have established defensive positions!"
The noise at the scene made the head coach De Nagro drag his neck and complain to the linesman, but at this time of the game, naturally there will be no change of judgment.
The subsequent game made the Warriors fans on the scene exclaim constantly. It was no different from last year. The team's offense began to lose power again.
Steve Kerr was hopping on the sidelines, constantly reminding his players to drive to the basket.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still bit the score by relying on free throws.
85:83, the Clippers stabilized +2, and finally overtook the score.
During the break during the festival, the noise in the Oracle Arena became louder and louder, and it was obvious that the Clippers were starting to gain momentum!
Durant, who played the full third quarter, sat on the bench and gasped for breath. Unlike Paul George, in the Warriors' five-minor system, he needed to help protect the frame, and he had to keep scoring points for the team on the offensive end.
6 of 2 in a single quarter, 3 of 3 free throws, and 7 points. The Clippers defended the ball and caused great trouble to Durant.
"Hold on, Kevin! We're only 12 minutes away from victory!"
Curry was 4 for 1 in the third quarter and was invisible again. Steve Kerr hurried to hug his thigh at this time.
Durant, who was gasping for breath, nodded, and no one else made a sound. The game had come to an end.
Jeff Van Gundy noticed that on the side of the Clippers bench, Li Ze was moving his body, looking relaxed, and there seemed to be no sign of fatigue
I muttered in my heart that I was not human, and finally said with a smile:
"This is the ability of the strongest scorer in history. No matter what kind of defense he faces, he can score stably!"
“8中6，三分线外2中1，罚球3中3，Kayce单节高效砍下16分！”
"."
Mark Jackson doesn't want to talk anymore, this is simply repeating last year's story, the Warriors still failed to withstand the stability +2
The commentator Mike Breen took over the conversation at this time, and said cheerfully:
"The game may be played until the last moment. With Durant joining, the Warriors have made up for the biggest shortcoming."
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Clippers took the initiative to rotate again. Plumlee and Gordon continued to appear, replacing Jokic and Paul George.
Not every player can withstand the strongest tactics. Paul George only rested for less than 3 minutes in the third quarter, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
For the Warriors, Curry went off to rest first, Livingston came off the bench, and Durant had to stand up if he couldn't stand it!
Both sides are a super scorer with 4 defensive players. At the critical moment of the game, Steve Kerr is no longer playing tricks
The mental victory method could not restore Green's physical fitness. After a total of less than 5 minutes of rest, coupled with frequent defenses against Li Ze, the big-mouthed Green was out of battery at this time.
Trash talk?Li Ze has already scored 44 points on the Warriors, and there is still one quarter left in the game.
Looking at Li Ze who was serving from the baseline and dribbling the ball across half court with no expression, Green broke the defense!
Painful memories from last year began to explode in my mind, and praying for Durant to join the team seemed to be of little use.
Crossing the ball after halftime, Harris came to the top of the arc to open up the offensive space, and immediately moved to the right flank after receiving a pass from Li Ze.
Iguodala, who was desperately stuck and kept going around the front to defend, was finally stuck behind by Li Ze.
Harris sent a half-high pass, Li Ze immediately turned to the baseline when he caught the ball, ignoring Iguodala, who jumped up to block the block, and shot a jumper with a big step back!
"Shua!" The two-pointer went into the net!
"Shh!"
Warriors fans can't stop booing, it's too steady.
A few small fans in the front row had already stood up, shouting continuously, trying to interfere with Li Ze's attack, but they still scored.
Blocking, catching the ball, shaking, and completing the shot, for several consecutive rounds, the Clippers tossed and turned and only played Li Ze's low-post tactics.
Green, who broke the defense, assisted in the defense in advance, but Harris easily broke through and assisted Plumlee to eat cakes under the basket.
The Warriors' offense had come to a complete standstill. Fortunately, Durant, who took a breath, regained his sight at this time, used a cross screen, got rid of Li Ze's pursuit, and scored two consecutive points in the face of Harris.
At 91:89, as the game time elapsed, the Clippers still steadily suppressed the Warriors, and the fans at the scene broke their defenses.
The main lineup returned, and Curry watched Li Ze attract double-teams in the low post on the left, and Jokic, who assisted the basket and scored another 2 points, was a little anxious for a while.
It's just that at the last moment, the ball was in Durant's hands, and Curry's smashed score failed to help the team tie the point difference.
Whenever the Clippers hit the iron, the Warriors fans on the scene would cheer loudly, and the next round the home team would follow suit, and there would be a lot of noise.
The Warriors fans at the scene were repeatedly pulled emotionally, but they couldn't get up in this breath, and the 2-point difference lasted until the last minute of the game.
With 1 minute and 01 seconds left in the game, Steve Kerr requested a timeout again.
At 107:105, Yuji must score for this offense, otherwise they will give the initiative to the Clippers.
"Hold on, we still have the initiative, Kevin, you complete this attack!"
Steve Kerr didn't say much, and after specifying Durant, he immediately took out the tactical board and drew a catch tactic.
The noise at the scene made Durant unable to concentrate. His physical fitness had already reached its limit. At this time, facing the request of the coaching staff, he could only nod mechanically.
Curry and Clay didn't speak. The moment Durant joined the team, they lost the right to shoot the key ball.
The atmosphere group did not dare to speak loudly, only Steve Kerr shouted from the entire bench.
As soon as the timeout came, Steve Kerr kept reminding the players who were about to play that everyone could see that the Warriors were very nervous.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
The fans at the scene shouted loudly, trying to increase the strength of the home team players. The frontcourt sideline kick was taken, and Curry was still the first to receive the ball, and then Green came to the top of the arc to respond.
Durant, who was in decline, was defended by Paul George to the left wing outside the three-point line before receiving the pass.
After getting the ball, the Warriors immediately opened up the offensive space.
Although Paul George was very close, Durant did not immediately choose to break through with the ball. After the three threats, the offense stagnated.
Then Durant made continuous tentative steps, half of the attack time was consumed.
The Warriors fans could only shout loudly. At the last moment, Durant chose to put the ball with his right hand to kill the basket. He stopped at the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line. He just got the ball, but was cut off by Paul George.
Durant reacted quickly and quickly regained control of the ball. The Warriors fans all exclaimed. Seeing that the attack time was running out, Durant, who was forced to stop the ball, threw the ball to Curry beyond the top of the arc.
The bomb was dismantled at the last moment, and Curry didn't have any time to hesitate. After receiving the pass, he immediately released the ball with his right hand, holding the ball against Li Ze's right hand to accelerate the breakthrough.
Li Ze just used his body to firmly cover Curry, and the two entangled to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line. Curry didn't get any chance, and the oppressive defense on his side made Curry slip directly on the floor under tension. .
At the moment of the mistake, all the Warriors fans yelled, the offensive time was up, and the referee immediately blew his whistle!
Coach De Nagro heard the whistle and almost rushed directly into the field:
"It's definitely his own slip and fall! Hey! It's not a foul at all!"
Li Ze also spread his hands, and immediately rushed to the referee, explaining continuously:
"Sir, you should watch the replay! I swear, I didn't make any extra moves at all!"
The Warriors fans at the scene didn't care about the shouts of the Clippers players, everyone was cheering loudly, celebrating wildly that this was a narrow escape!
The three referees pretended to look back at the video, but after more than a minute, the Warriors breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, it was announced that the original verdict was upheld. The Oracle Arena was completely blown up, and they will have a chance to tie the score!
Under heavy pressure, Curry made two free throws, 107:107, with 37 seconds left in the game, the two sides tied again.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The fans at the scene shouted vigorously, and the head coach De Nagro did not call a timeout. The Clippers served from the backcourt, and Li Ze dribbled through the half with 8 seconds.
Within 30 seconds of the time, all the fans stood up and came to the left flank beyond the three-point line. Li Ze held the ball in his left hand and began to control the time.
There was no trace of nervousness on his face, but Iguodala, who was in charge of defending Li Ze, paced back and forth uneasily.
The initiative is indeed on the Warriors. Even if Li Ze completes this attack, they can still get about 13 seconds of attack time.
Seeing that the attack time was less than 10 seconds left, it was the Warriors who were the first to fail.
Green wanted his teammates to double-team, but he was afraid that the Clippers would score easily. With 7 seconds left in the offensive clock, Li Ze, who was on the left flank outside the three-point line, suddenly started.
With a low center of gravity, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand and accelerated his breakthrough. Iguodala desperately slid back to the right.
After an emergency stop, he switched to his right hand and pretended to break through to the line. Taking advantage of Iguodala's slide to the left, Li Ze immediately turned around towards the baseline with his left foot as the axis.
Completely throwing off the defense and taking advantage of the ball, Green predicted Li Ze's offensive choice, and immediately rushed up when Iguodala's defense lost his position.
Noticing the defense in front of him, Li Ze, who was still in the air, paused slightly, maintaining a sharp backward posture, and waited until Green began to slide, and then calmly threw the ball to the basket!
The ball flew past his fingertips, and after landing, Green felt his heart go cold. Watching the ball fall into the basket, all the Warriors fans in the Oracle Arena screamed:
"what!!"
109:107, Li Ze's fatal blow allowed the Clippers to complete the overtake!
With the last 14 seconds left in the game, Steve Kerr hurriedly requested a timeout.
Li Ze, who hit the key ball, was expressionless, but Paul George screamed excitedly, rushed up to hug Li Ze and walked to the bench together.
"God! Suffocating offense and defense, Draymond Green almost became a hero!"
Jeff Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief, and Mark Jackson also felt that the game was about to suffocate:
"There is no doubt that the Warriors will give Durant the last attack. This game will completely determine the trend of the series!"
The biggest effect of the timeout is to let Durant breathe a sigh of relief. In the Oracle Arena, seeing the Warriors returning to the field, the fans were too nervous to speak out.
The Clippers led by 2:0, and led by two points at the last moment. Everyone just needs to defend 3 and play 2.
All the pressure came to the Warriors. Li Ze, who appeared on the stage, stood beside Curry and joked at the last moment:
"Kevin is going to carry out the final attack again? I think you made the wrong choice!"
The noise at the scene made Curry understand what Li Ze said, but at this moment he was too nervous to respond, and according to the tactical requirements, he pretended to catch the ball and drag the defense.
Draymond Green was so nervous that he almost violated the 5-second serve, the tactics failed to be completed, and Durant was forced to receive the ball away from the three-point line.
The shot clock began to tick, and three seconds flew by. With the last 10 seconds left in the game, Durant began to dribble under the crotch outside the three-point line.
It seemed that it was unreliable to make a three-pointer. At the last moment, Durant held the ball in his right hand and changed direction, facing Paul George and going straight to the basket.
The 45-degree cut from the left made the nervous Warriors fans scream.
Durant, who broke through to the left block position, suddenly turned around, and Paul George was stuck behind him with a huge stride. He was close to the basket in the paint area, facing Jokic, who had already helped defend to the basket, with one hand with his right hand. Pick a basket!
Durant, who completed the difficult shot, finally fell to the floor.
The ball flew to the basket, bumped a bit and finally knocked out of the basket. The Warriors fans on the scene yelled, with the last 4 seconds left.
Jokic just took advantage of the trend to receive the rebound, but he didn't expect Green, who followed back to the basket, to cut the ball away. The fat white man who reacted faster hurriedly raised his hands high, not giving the opponent a chance to force himself under the basket.
With a blank mind, Green subconsciously threw the ball beyond the three-point line. The ball was very fast. Curry jumped up to catch the ball outside the three-point line.
The Warriors fans just wanted to cheer, but found that Li Ze jumped high and sent a block from the side
"OH——! Blocked by Kayce!!"
"It's over!!!"
The commentator Mike Brin saw that Li Ze completed the block and the trajectory of the ball changed, so he immediately yelled.
The ball touched Li Ze's fingertips, and finally failed to fly above the basket and began to fall.
"buzz"
The final buzz sounded, the score remained unchanged, 109:107, the Clippers won G3, and the series came to 3:0.
After completing the block, Li Ze immediately made a good night gesture, ran past Curry, and finally rushed to the Clippers bench.
The atmosphere team yelled and rushed to Li Ze's side, and the golden thighs attacked and defended, ending the game!
"Wow!"
Everyone in the Clippers hugged Li Ze and yelled. In the Oracle Arena, it seemed that only the excited shouts of the Clippers were left.
Stephen Curry seemed unacceptable to such a result, still standing outside the three-point line, looking straight at the basket.
Durant, who failed to send the ball to the basket on the last attack, just lay on the floor all the time. He played 44 minutes tonight, tired and paralyzed
As for Draymond Green, who almost became a hero, he opened his mouth wide at this time, silently watching the Clippers players celebrate wildly.
The Warriors' bench was surprisingly quiet, and everyone still couldn't accept such a result. Steve Kerr even sat on the bench, feeling frustrated.
"Shhh!!"
Voices reappear in Oracle Arena, Warriors fans boo again, and the nightmare returns.
Without a handshake, the frustrated Warriors simply turned their heads and walked towards the player tunnel.
On the other side, everyone in the Clippers made good night gestures one after another, and ran to the locker room bouncing up and down.
Green, who walked into the player tunnel, seemed to have completely recovered at this time, realizing that the big score was already 3:0.
Unable to hold back the annoyance in his heart anymore, he leaned against the wall and wept in a low voice. After being a licking dog for a season, this is the end?
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved Green burst into tears, and the staff of the Warriors hurried forward to comfort him.
On the other side, Li Ze, who was walking towards the player tunnel, had already hugged Steve Ballmer with a big laugh. The old man waved his fist and shouted excitedly:
"Clippers in four!"
Thank you for your subscription support~
The Lakers have a chance to counterattack this season~
(End of this chapter)
In G3 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors returned to their home court completely let go of their hands and feet. The most notable change is the quality of the screen.
In the away game, the referee whistled for illegal screens occasionally. After returning to the home court, these problems did not exist.
In such a critical game, Steve Kerr naturally had to go all out. In the first quarter of the game, Curry, Durant, and Clay took turns to breathe a sigh of relief.
In the rotation stage of the second quarter, the three continued to play, and Green was still on the court. David West came up to help veteran Iguodala for 2 minutes.
The Clippers only replaced Jokic and Tucker in the main lineup, and Plumlee and Gordon had a normal rotation.
In order to create shooting opportunities for Curry, single screens can't work, and G3 added more double screens.
During the rotation phase, the main attacker became Curry, and the Warriors took the lead in attacking.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
The shouts of the Warriors fans became louder and louder. Curry still handed over the ball after halftime. Green, who was at the top of the arc, received the pass and immediately observed the situation on the field.
Durant made crazy shots in the first quarter. At this time, Paul George's defensive aggressiveness was full, and he kept half-circling forward, giving physical confrontation.
There was no opportunity to attack in the left block zone, and Green, who was holding the top of the ball arc in his left hand, immediately changed direction and switched to his right hand to protect the ball behind his back.
After Curry cuts in from the middle, David West, who is near the baseline on the left, screens first, and then comes to a position close to the right flank, and Clay, who is on the line, makes another cross screen.
After the cross screen of the two shooters, Clay ran to the right corner, and Curry continued to bounce out and move to the right flank.
Eric Gordon switched defenses in front of Curry, and quickly adjusted his defensive focus before approaching the three-point line. Curry, who came to the right wing, received a pass from Green at the top of the arc at this time, without any shaking, after receiving the ball Pull it up and throw it away!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
It was rare to hit a three-pointer in a sports game at the beginning of the game. Curry spat out his braces excitedly and accelerated all the way along the sideline to complete the retreat.
Gordon, who switched defenses in front of Curry, was a little speechless. It was obvious that Curry bullied him for not being tall enough, so he shot confidently in front of him
After the Warriors studied the Clippers' lineup, they finally found some weaknesses. Both sides tried to minimize the playing time of rotation players, which is also for this reason.
Seeing that the Warriors retreated quickly, Li Ze no longer pursued speed. He was ready for Stephen Curry to explode.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Warriors fans stood up and loudly helped the home team defend and cheer.
Green, who was standing in front of Harris, saw Li Ze waving his hand, and immediately switched defenses with teammate David West. Tonight, he wanted to show his tough attitude!
When the Clippers play the pick-and-roll, they usually clear one side. Plumlee quickly lifts up, and Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, suddenly dribbles behind his back twice in a row after the opponent stands still.
The body swayed, and after adjusting his footsteps, he briefly threw off Clay's defense, and accelerated to pass the ball on the left side of Plumlee with his left hand.
Green, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately switched up and tried to delay. After the pick-and-roll, Plumlee also rolled down immediately.
When he got to the defensive position, he switched positions with David West immediately, and Clay defended in front of Harris again.
Obviously the Warriors have made sufficient preparations and will no longer expose their weaknesses to Li Ze.
Green on the left flank realized that he was going to defend Li Ze one-on-one. After lowering his center of gravity, he quickly clapped his hands and put a buff on himself.
Strictly speaking, this is not a big fight. Green has excellent defensive ability, and the fans at the scene also shouted. In everyone's opinion, this can be regarded as a grudge.
Li Ze, who is holding the ball in his left hand, didn't shake too much when facing Green who was on defense. He slightly raised his body's center of gravity and then suddenly accelerated, crossing back close to the three-point line.
Green, who had just slid back to the right, hurriedly adjusted his defensive focus, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, paused slightly, leaned his body to the left, and dribbled the ball twice very quickly on the spot.
Under the shaking from left to right, Green, who was focused on defense, was a little dazed. When he was slightly dazed, the ball returned to Li Ze, his body swayed to the right, and his body changed direction significantly.
Green's defense failed to respond in time, and Li Ze instantly passed the ball with his left hand.
The fans at the scene exclaimed, and the fans in the back row only felt that Li Ze had dribbled the ball twice, and then Green was stuck in place like a wooden stake.
Cursing secretly, Green hurriedly slid to the right and rear, quickly chasing and defending into the paint area.
Seeing Li Ze expose the ball, Green pulled his arm subconsciously.
Li Ze took advantage of the opportunity to lean on his body, then directly joined the ball, quickly lifted it up, and completed the throw while walking!
"Squeak! Swish!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in, and there were boos everywhere. Green even had a question mark on his face, and immediately complained loudly to the linesman:
"Hey!! It's him hanging on my arm, I didn't take the initiative to foul at all!"
Turning his head and seeing Li Ze standing on the free throw line waiting for the free throw, Green was furious again.
Before the game, the coaching staff repeatedly urged not to fall into a foul crisis prematurely. As a result, the second quarter just started, and Green received his third foul.
The referee really didn't want to blow it, but this action was too obvious. After a brief explanation, he immediately signaled the players on both sides to stand up. Li Ze was about to make a free throw.
Paul George saw that Green was still complaining endlessly, leaning on his knees next to the paint area and mockingly said:
"If you don't foul, you won't make free throws. Will you get DPOY this season?"
After the rhetorical question, Paul George immediately shook his head, expressing his skepticism.
There was a lot of noise at the scene, but Green still heard what Paul George said, and immediately responded loudly:
"Best defensive second team? Look at how many points you let Kevin score in this live game?"
No matter how strong the smell of gunpowder between the two is, there will be no direct confrontation. In the Clippers' tactical system, Paul George rarely plays pick-and-rolls. Therefore, both sides have a good time.
The fans at the scene couldn't hear what the two were saying, but watched the two sides look excited and booed accordingly.
After Li Zejia made the free throw, he immediately clapped his hands to signal everyone to retreat quickly. Playing at the opponent's home court, too many mistakes cannot be tolerated.
At 31:31, the two sides drew again.
Stephen Curry began to run tirelessly, and the Warriors coaching staff are not fools. Curry has excellent scoring explosiveness, so he naturally has to use it.
Li Ze couldn't squeeze through the screen at first, and everyone in the Clippers was forced to switch defenses. Gordon watched helplessly as Curry threw a three-pointer after double-screening on the right wing, which broke the defense for a while.
"A blind chicken can also be thrown in?"
After only two rounds, Li Ze already understood the strategy of the Warriors and tried his best to start the game. Dulan finished with Curry and continued.
Coach De Nagro couldn't help complaining to the lineman about the Warriors' cover, but he was destined not to get a response. This is the home field advantage, and the league also hopes that the game between the two sides can reach the end.
Curry's three-pointer completely boiled the Oracle Arena, and at the same time gave the Warriors a strong shot.
Green, who returned to defense, was still screaming, beating his chest frantically, and at the same time raised his hands to signal the fans on the scene to continue to get restless.
Curry scored, Green played X, and the Warriors seemed to find their familiar offensive rhythm.
Li Ze deliberately slowed down, making the opponent uncomfortable is his principle.
After coming to the right wing, he immediately threw the ball to Paul George who bounced from the right corner, and then took advantage of the opportunity to make a down screen and quickly ran to the right corner.
Clay naturally chased and defended all the way, and Li Ze, who came to the bottom corner on the right, did not stop, but started to shoot diagonally outward again.
With the cover of Plumlee in the paint, Li Ze quickly ran to the left flank outside the three-point line.
The rest of the Clippers followed suit. Harris, who was in the right corner, cut in from left to right along the baseline without the ball. Gordon, who was originally on the left wing, quickly ran to the left corner.
Green hurriedly signaled David West to switch defenses. When Li Ze received a pass from Paul George at the top of the arc on the left wing, the Warriors, who had successfully communicated defensively, switched Green to Li Ze.
David West was well protected for two consecutive rounds. After receiving the pass, Li Ze immediately swayed left and right, released the ball with his right hand, and accelerated his breakthrough with cross steps.
Green, who had just gained a firm footing, quickly slid back and forth to the left, and when he broke through to the left elbow of the free throw line, Li Ze suddenly pulled back sharply.
Green had no time to adjust his defensive focus. After the emergency stop, Li Ze did not slow down. After switching to his left hand, he continued to hold the ball and accelerate the breakthrough.
After the sudden stop and quick start, Green stayed on the spot, completely lost his defensive position, fouled three times on his back, and did not dare to pull.
Li Ze easily broke through to the basket, jumped with both feet, quickly vacated, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and made a powerful tomahawk dunk!
"Boom!" The breakthrough dunk was successful!
"Shhh!!"
Easy scoring, Li Ze was not interested in celebrating. He shook his head at the Warriors and quickly retreated with small steps.
"Shet!"
Green found that there seemed to be no difference between himself and David West. They were both passed by in one step. After cursing secretly, he hurriedly clapped his hands passionately and continued to encourage himself.
The two teams quickly became one who fights you and one who fights me. With the blessing of double screens, Curry got a lot of shooting opportunities. Coupled with the hot hand tonight, Curry helped the Warriors score consecutive points for a while. .
Even with the main lineup brought back by both sides, Curry did not stop his scoring.
With 6 minutes and 02 seconds left in the second quarter, Jokic returned to the court after a timeout.
Faced with a high pick-and-roll in the first round after his debut, Li Ze struggled to squeeze past Green's screen and chased Curry behind him. Jokic, who retreated to defend, did not change his defensive principles and watched Curry forcefully shoot a three-pointer at the top of the arc!
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!
After holding back two games and finally opening the offense, Curry roared loudly after scoring a goal, and vented his depression with continuous punches.
When Durant also needed the ball, the Warriors coaching staff chose to let the two play one by one. This change avoided the link where everyone lined up to try their hand.
Hitting three three-pointers in a row, Curry is in a very hot state. The Oracle Arena is completely boiling at this time. This is the Curry everyone is familiar with!
In away games, Li Ze is always expressionless. Even if Curry makes crazy shots, he just silently increases his possession of the ball.
The Warriors threw a three-pointer, and Li Ze continued to rush to the basket step by step. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate.
After the return of the main lineup, the Warriors naturally adjusted their defensive strategy. When Li Ze held the ball on the left flank outside the three-point line, Green moved back and forth near the basket.
In response to Li Ze's breakthrough, the Warriors used Green's defensive ability to protect the basket off the line.
Seeing Li Zebi's tactical gesture, Jokic immediately moved to the three-point line, stood still and performed a pick-and-roll on the left flank.
Iguodala, who is in charge of man-marking Li Ze, has a big head. If it is really better than the quality of the screen, the Clippers are much better. The white fat man is very suitable for pick-and-rolls.
Struggling to squeeze through the screen, Iguodala finally bumped into Jokic. Seeing that Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, continued to accelerate, he could only loudly remind his teammates to switch defenses.
Green had already gathered all his strength, and when he saw Li Ze rushing into the three-point line, he immediately slid quickly, resisting with his body on his side, trying to slow down Li Ze.
The two came to the left block position. Li Ze, who was walking, suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back. .
The silky dribbling action caused cheers in the Oracle Arena. Green, who lost his defensive position, tried to block Li Ze at the bottom line, but found that he could not catch up at all.
The huge stride made Li Ze come to the bottom right of the basket in the blink of an eye, twisting his body and taking advantage of the opportunity to complete the reverse dunk!
"Shhh!!"
The wonderful dunk made the boos of Oracle Arena even louder. Curry's three-pointer was beautiful, but most fans still liked dunks.
After the booing, there were faint cheers, and the Clippers fans present couldn't hold back!
Steve Kerr on the sidelines saw that the Warriors' inside line was pierced again, and there was no good way for a while.
As long as it is a player who has played against Li Ze, he will eventually become Li Zechui, and everyone has to save face. It's not that we are not good enough, but the opponent is really not human.
"Keep defending! I'll do my job!"
Li Ze broke through for several rounds in a row, Green hurriedly clapped his hands passionately, thumped his chest twice, and continued to cheer himself up.
Iguodala on the side shook his head in his heart, just complaining in the locker room by himself, there is no need to make irresponsible remarks to the media.
The Clippers did not play many pick-and-rolls in the first two games. Obviously, Li Ze came here tonight for Green.
The scores of the two sides rose alternately. Steve Kerr saw that even if Li Ze was double-teamed successfully, as long as Jokic at the free throw line received the ball, the tactics could continue.
After receiving the pass, Jokic put the ball with his right hand at the free throw line and immediately sent a hand-off pass to Paul George on the left wing.
After a feint, he successfully received the ball, and Paul George, who was holding the ball in his left hand, took advantage of the opportunity and went straight to the basket at the top of the arc, continuing to break through the Warriors' inside line.
Facing Durant, who was helping to defend and shrink, Paul George twisted his body and threw the ball to Harris in the right corner after jumping.
With no defense, Harris hit a wide open three-pointer steadily.
With Curry's mid-range throw at the end of the half, the Oracle Arena was completely boiling.
Curry, who scored crazy points, pumped his fist again excitedly, and ran to the player channel bouncing up and down.
At 57:62, after halftime, with the excellent performance of Curry and Durant, the Warriors entered the second half with a 5-point lead.
5 points is not a small difference between the two teams, and it will take at least two rounds to catch up!
Mark Jackson returned to his smiling face. Although the commentary should be neutral, as the former head coach of the Warriors, he still hopes that the team's results can go further:
"Perfect play, Stephen Curry finally responded!"
“13中8，三分线外10中6，罚球1中1，23分3篮板1助攻1失误，系列赛进行到现在，这是库里表现最好的一场比赛！”
Jeff Van Gundy looked at the technical statistics and also lamented the star's ability:
“15中7，三分线外2中1，罚球1中1，16分6篮板2助攻1失误，杜兰特也表现得十分高效。”
"The two contributed 39 points together, scoring more than half of the team's points!"
The commentator Mike Breen only felt that the Warriors had completely become a singles team, but leading at halftime, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with such a tactic:
"What I care more about is that both Green and Durant have received three fouls. Maybe the Clippers' strategy has also succeeded."
In Oracle Arena, Warriors fans don't remember that the team's interior almost encountered a foul crisis. After all, the referee seldom whistled in the second half of the second quarter.
In the Clippers locker room, Paul George couldn't help complaining about the referee's whistle-blowing scale tonight:
"If I remember correctly, Green received his third foul very early and was not replaced. We kept breaking through the inside, and as a result, the fourth foul was not called."
For the referee's whistleblowing, Li Ze has already known it in his heart. Obviously, the league hopes to see both sides protect the home court, and then there will be a battle in Tianwangshan.
Regarding the adjustment of the Warriors in the second half, Li Ze could roughly guess it. Seeing Jokic drinking heavily with a water bottle, he immediately reminded:
"Nicolas, if Curry's touch drops, the opponent will continue to attack the basket and control the number of fouls!"
Jokic has already experienced the high-quality coverage of the Warriors tonight, and he knows that sometimes the team's perimeter cannot protect him.
"No problem, I like to play 2s together!"
"The opponent took another 15 shots from the three-point line in the half, maybe this is a good thing for us!"
Li Ze nodded in satisfaction. What he had to do at this time was to stabilize the rhythm. With 57 points in the half game, the Clippers had no problem with their offense.
Before the coaching staff returned to the locker room, Li Ze exhorted again loudly:
"We did a good job rebounding, continue to maintain this focus, and don't worry about missing long rebounds!"
The Warriors threw too many three-pointers, and it was inevitable that some long rebounds would be picked up by the opponent. The coaching staff was in charge of the chicken soup. Li Ze remembered to remind his teammates to pay attention to the details at this time.
The Clippers are all tools, and their style of play is becoming more and more simple and rough. The Warriors can't stand it, so they double-team Li Ze, and then play more and less on the other side.
If no one is double-teaming, then Li Ze will be singles on the flanks. Steve Kerr feels a little helpless looking at the technical statistics at halftime.
15 of 11, 4 of 2 from outside the three-point line, Li Ze scored 28 points in the half, no mid-range, and most of them were concentrated near the paint.
The two-point shooting rate exceeds 8%, but if the three-pointer is missed, the Warriors will already be behind.
It is rare for big players to hit such a shooting percentage at the basket. This outrageous performance has seen the Warriors coaching staff sweating.
Green in the locker room was still giving a passionate speech, and Li Ze selectively forgot the fact that he exploded in the half game.
"5 points difference, without two rounds, the opponent can't catch us at all, hey! Do a good job of defense, with Kevin and Stephen on the offensive end, we will win tonight!"
While clapping his hands, Green encouraged his teammates with the spirit victory method. As long as everyone doesn't care about Li Ze's stats, they won't feel the oppression brought by the monster.
Curry, who was fully output in the half, sat in his seat and kept panting. Except for facing Jokic in a few rounds, the Clippers' defense brought him great trouble.
However, Curry fully agrees with what Green said, and it is the first time in the series that he has taken the initiative to speak out:
"We will win tonight's game, the series has just begun, I'm ready!"
Durant also felt that everyone played very well in the halftime game, and he was very satisfied with the adjustment of the coaching staff. The two took turns to let go, and the game should be played like this!
Steve Kerr entered the locker room and found that the players were in high spirits. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. This game really cannot be lost again:
"Excellent halftime game, remember, what we need is stable scoring. If the outside touch is not there, we can also stand on the free throw line!"
"Always remember, this is our home field!"
Without talking about chicken soup, Steve Kerr kept reminding his players what to pay attention to in the second half. What he worried most about was the sudden power outage of the team's offense.
After the start of the second half of the game, the Warriors fans in the Oracle Arena went completely berserk. The victory is in sight, and the shouting is over!
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
A baseline kick was made, and amid the cheers of the fans, Curry quickly dribbled across the half court and continued to cross the ball. Green received the ball at the top of the arc and immediately gave the ball to Clay on the right wing.
After receiving the ball, Clay immediately broke through with the ball in his right hand, and Tucker's defense pushed him into the right block. Clay immediately protected the ball with his back, hit twice, quickly turned up the line, and made a strong mid-range shot. !
At 57:64, the point difference came to 7 points, and the Warriors fans on the scene screamed excitedly, only thinking that the game has been stabilized!
The Clippers sent the baseline ball, but Li Ze did not speed up the offensive rhythm, and still dribbled steadily across the half.
Coming to the right flank beyond the three-point line, I noticed that the Warriors did not seem to adopt double-team defense. Before approaching the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly pushed the ball to change direction.
Iguodala, who had already been prepared for defense, slid to the right at the first moment. In the next second, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his left hand and immediately completed the change of direction under his crotch. pressure breakthrough.
Iguodala was half-blocked by Li Ze, and then he was pushed to the right block by the tank breakthrough.
Li Ze, who was firmly stuck in his position, immediately turned around as soon as he approached the paint area, dodged Iguodala's defense, came to the bottom right of the basket, and grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand to pick the basket!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily.
Li Ze's breakthrough speed was too fast, and Green, who was near the bottom line on the left, didn't even have time to respond in defense, and the Clippers' offense was over.
Iguodala did not show frustration at this time, but patted his chest, saying that the ball was his problem.
The movement range is huge, and Li Ze can quickly break through to the basket after being stuck in the position. The coaching staff of the Warriors has not been able to figure out how to defend Li Ze.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
Warriors fans don't care about Li Ze's offense anymore, as long as the team can respond, the victory still belongs to them!
Trying to help the team cheer, everyone in the Warriors was also brave. After the opening rounds, the starting players all scored.
At 65:70, the Clippers were still chasing after them.
After the high pick-and-roll, Curry tried a three-pointer for the first time in the third quarter. Green's screen quality was average. It seemed that Li Ze interfered from the side, and the trajectory of the ball was already crooked after the shot.
"state!"
The long basketball rebounded, and Tucker, who shrank to within the three-point line, grabbed the rebound in front of Clay and successfully received the rebound.
A pass to Jokic on the free throw line, the latter received the pass and vigorously threw the ball to Li Ze, who accelerated across the half court on the left flank.
The Warriors' on-the-spot delay didn't help, and Li Ze rushed through half court after passing the ball twice.
Green, who paid special attention to retreating, immediately stuck to Li Ze's right side, and even pulling secretly did not slow down Li Ze.
Just approaching the three-point line, he felt Green who was constantly sticking to the defense at his side. Li Ze, who was walking, suddenly stopped suddenly, blasted the ball vigorously with his left hand, and then retreated.
Green, who was accelerating, was staggered by Li Ze's sudden stop, and his sudden retreat made him completely lose his defensive position.
The left flank is still a big step away from the three-point line. Without any interference, Li Ze converted a three-pointer and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
At 68:70, the point difference was only two points in an instant.
The Warriors fans at the scene saw Li Ze raise his left hand to his ear, and began to make a listening gesture, and immediately booed again.
Steve Kerr hurriedly asked for a timeout, and he had to interrupt the Clippers' conversion attack.
In the Oracle Arena, the Warriors fans became nervous. Many fans stood up. They really didn't want to see the home team lose again.
The Clippers fans at the scene cheered for a while. Although they bought tickets for the big back row, everyone screamed again:
"Clippers in Four!"
The Warriors fans, who were a bit defensive, were already upset at this time, coupled with the booing of the Clippers fans around them, after the two sides quarreled, they immediately punched each other.
"Kayce will destroy you! The Warriors will never win a championship!"
The Clippers fan wearing Li Ze's jersey is a 1-meter-tall white man.
At this time, the Warriors fans on the scene were so stimulated that they rushed up screaming. The timeout here has not yet ended, and the melee has already begun in the auditorium in the back row.
All of a sudden there were yelling, cheering, and cheering. Obviously, there were fun fans who came to watch the game. At this time, they all went crazy
"I really like this game atmosphere! But Clippers fans should be careful, this is the home of the Warriors!"
Jeff Van Gundy cheerfully watched the fans fight passionately. Mark Jackson was not in such a good mood as his old partner, and said with some concern:
"The Warriors must seize the offensive opportunity in the next round, otherwise, the Clippers will definitely tie the game!"
The conflict between the fans on the scene was finally stopped by the security personnel, and everyone in the Warriors team was in no mood to pay attention to the fans. The mental victory method was no longer working at this time, and the sense of oppression brought by Li Ze began to come to mind.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
At the critical moment, the Warriors' tactic was to give the ball to Durant again. The cross-screening in the three-second zone finally allowed Durant to receive the pass in the left block position.
After completing the screen, Green immediately ran to the right side near the baseline, ready to fight for rebounds, and the rest of the Warriors pulled away one by one, and the stars played singles!
Paul George stuck to Durant's side as soon as he switched defenses, and kept giving physical confrontation to prevent Durant from releasing the ball easily.
The giant loop-style three-threat did not cause a foul. Facing Paul George's close defense, Durant finally put the ball with his right hand. Jump shot!
"state!"
The ball knocked out of the basket, and Jokic at the basket took advantage of his height and grabbed the rebound. Green behind him immediately stepped forward to press, preventing the Clippers from completing a pass.
The Warriors retreated quickly. After Li Ze received the pass, Iguodala immediately stepped forward to delay.
Li Ze, who released the ball with his right hand, took advantage of the opportunity to circle the ball behind his back, dodged the defense and then accelerated with his left hand.
Green, who was behind him, desperately chased Li Ze at this time, and the two planned to complete the double-team ahead of time, so that Li Ze could quickly throw the ball.
Iguodala made a small move to pull secretly, but found that Li Ze was advancing faster and faster.
Li Ze, who came to the left flank, showed no signs of slowing down. When he crushed and broke through and drove Iguodala to the left block position, he blew the ball vigorously with his left hand on the spot, and then suddenly retreated after an emergency stop.
Li Ze raised the ball and swayed it, and Iguodala was immediately swayed away, and Green behind him slowed down, preparing to block the shot.
When Li Ze faltered again, Green, who had chased behind him, immediately jumped up to block the shot, but unexpectedly, Li Ze still made a fake move.
It was too late to control the movement when it was falling, and Green could only watch helplessly as Li Ze hung on his arm, twisting his body and forcing a jump shot!
Iguodala in front of him took off again to block the block, but it didn't work.
"Squeak! Swish"
The referee blew the whistle and the ball went into the net. Exclamations and boos rang out in the Oracle Arena at the same time. The Warriors fans completely broke their defense at this moment. Is this going to overtake the score?
After completing the goal, Li Ze looked calm, tidied up his jersey, gave his teammates high-fives, and walked slowly to the free throw line.
Green felt that he was neglected again, and his anger surged up for a while, but he had no choice but to complain to the referee incompetently and furiously:
"Hey! The foul shouldn't be on my head!"
"."
Steve Kerr saw that Green received his fourth foul of the game and did not make a substitution at the critical moment. After Li Ze made the penalty, he immediately reminded his players loudly:
"Hold on! Break through to the inside to complete the offense!"
At 71:70, the Warriors fans at the scene saw that the Clippers had completed the overtake, and the noise was everywhere, and they couldn't stand it anymore!
Fortunately, with Durant in the Warriors, the referee decisively blew the whistle to kill the basket at the critical moment.
Coach De Nagro is naturally dissatisfied with the call. Paul George also received his third personal foul. If he calls again, he will have to leave the game early:
"Obvious offensive foul, my players have established defensive positions!"
The noise at the scene made the head coach De Nagro drag his neck and complain to the linesman, but at this time of the game, naturally there will be no change of judgment.
The subsequent game made the Warriors fans on the scene exclaim constantly. It was no different from last year. The team's offense began to lose power again.
Steve Kerr was hopping on the sidelines, constantly reminding his players to drive to the basket.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still bit the score by relying on free throws.
85:83, the Clippers stabilized +2, and finally overtook the score.
During the break during the festival, the noise in the Oracle Arena became louder and louder, and it was obvious that the Clippers were starting to gain momentum!
Durant, who played the full third quarter, sat on the bench and gasped for breath. Unlike Paul George, in the Warriors' five-minor system, he needed to help protect the frame, and he had to keep scoring points for the team on the offensive end.
6 of 2 in a single quarter, 3 of 3 free throws, and 7 points. The Clippers defended the ball and caused great trouble to Durant.
"Hold on, Kevin! We're only 12 minutes away from victory!"
Curry was 4 for 1 in the third quarter and was invisible again. Steve Kerr hurried to hug his thigh at this time.
Durant, who was gasping for breath, nodded, and no one else made a sound. The game had come to an end.
Jeff Van Gundy noticed that on the side of the Clippers bench, Li Ze was moving his body, looking relaxed, and there seemed to be no sign of fatigue
I muttered in my heart that I was not human, and finally said with a smile:
"This is the ability of the strongest scorer in history. No matter what kind of defense he faces, he can score stably!"
“8中6，三分线外2中1，罚球3中3，Kayce单节高效砍下16分！”
"."
Mark Jackson doesn't want to talk anymore, this is simply repeating last year's story, the Warriors still failed to withstand the stability +2
The commentator Mike Breen took over the conversation at this time, and said cheerfully:
"The game may be played until the last moment. With Durant joining, the Warriors have made up for the biggest shortcoming."
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Clippers took the initiative to rotate again. Plumlee and Gordon continued to appear, replacing Jokic and Paul George.
Not every player can withstand the strongest tactics. Paul George only rested for less than 3 minutes in the third quarter, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
For the Warriors, Curry went off to rest first, Livingston came off the bench, and Durant had to stand up if he couldn't stand it!
Both sides are a super scorer with 4 defensive players. At the critical moment of the game, Steve Kerr is no longer playing tricks
The mental victory method could not restore Green's physical fitness. After a total of less than 5 minutes of rest, coupled with frequent defenses against Li Ze, the big-mouthed Green was out of battery at this time.
Trash talk?Li Ze has already scored 44 points on the Warriors, and there is still one quarter left in the game.
Looking at Li Ze who was serving from the baseline and dribbling the ball across half court with no expression, Green broke the defense!
Painful memories from last year began to explode in my mind, and praying for Durant to join the team seemed to be of little use.
Crossing the ball after halftime, Harris came to the top of the arc to open up the offensive space, and immediately moved to the right flank after receiving a pass from Li Ze.
Iguodala, who was desperately stuck and kept going around the front to defend, was finally stuck behind by Li Ze.
Harris sent a half-high pass, Li Ze immediately turned to the baseline when he caught the ball, ignoring Iguodala, who jumped up to block the block, and shot a jumper with a big step back!
"Shua!" The two-pointer went into the net!
"Shh!"
Warriors fans can't stop booing, it's too steady.
A few small fans in the front row had already stood up, shouting continuously, trying to interfere with Li Ze's attack, but they still scored.
Blocking, catching the ball, shaking, and completing the shot, for several consecutive rounds, the Clippers tossed and turned and only played Li Ze's low-post tactics.
Green, who broke the defense, assisted in the defense in advance, but Harris easily broke through and assisted Plumlee to eat cakes under the basket.
The Warriors' offense had come to a complete standstill. Fortunately, Durant, who took a breath, regained his sight at this time, used a cross screen, got rid of Li Ze's pursuit, and scored two consecutive points in the face of Harris.
At 91:89, as the game time elapsed, the Clippers still steadily suppressed the Warriors, and the fans at the scene broke their defenses.
The main lineup returned, and Curry watched Li Ze attract double-teams in the low post on the left, and Jokic, who assisted the basket and scored another 2 points, was a little anxious for a while.
It's just that at the last moment, the ball was in Durant's hands, and Curry's smashed score failed to help the team tie the point difference.
Whenever the Clippers hit the iron, the Warriors fans on the scene would cheer loudly, and the next round the home team would follow suit, and there would be a lot of noise.
The Warriors fans at the scene were repeatedly pulled emotionally, but they couldn't get up in this breath, and the 2-point difference lasted until the last minute of the game.
With 1 minute and 01 seconds left in the game, Steve Kerr requested a timeout again.
At 107:105, Yuji must score for this offense, otherwise they will give the initiative to the Clippers.
"Hold on, we still have the initiative, Kevin, you complete this attack!"
Steve Kerr didn't say much, and after specifying Durant, he immediately took out the tactical board and drew a catch tactic.
The noise at the scene made Durant unable to concentrate. His physical fitness had already reached its limit. At this time, facing the request of the coaching staff, he could only nod mechanically.
Curry and Clay didn't speak. The moment Durant joined the team, they lost the right to shoot the key ball.
The atmosphere group did not dare to speak loudly, only Steve Kerr shouted from the entire bench.
As soon as the timeout came, Steve Kerr kept reminding the players who were about to play that everyone could see that the Warriors were very nervous.
"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!"
The fans at the scene shouted loudly, trying to increase the strength of the home team players. The frontcourt sideline kick was taken, and Curry was still the first to receive the ball, and then Green came to the top of the arc to respond.
Durant, who was in decline, was defended by Paul George to the left wing outside the three-point line before receiving the pass.
After getting the ball, the Warriors immediately opened up the offensive space.
Although Paul George was very close, Durant did not immediately choose to break through with the ball. After the three threats, the offense stagnated.
Then Durant made continuous tentative steps, half of the attack time was consumed.
The Warriors fans could only shout loudly. At the last moment, Durant chose to put the ball with his right hand to kill the basket. He stopped at the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line. He just got the ball, but was cut off by Paul George.
Durant reacted quickly and quickly regained control of the ball. The Warriors fans all exclaimed. Seeing that the attack time was running out, Durant, who was forced to stop the ball, threw the ball to Curry beyond the top of the arc.
The bomb was dismantled at the last moment, and Curry didn't have any time to hesitate. After receiving the pass, he immediately released the ball with his right hand, holding the ball against Li Ze's right hand to accelerate the breakthrough.
Li Ze just used his body to firmly cover Curry, and the two entangled to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line. Curry didn't get any chance, and the oppressive defense on his side made Curry slip directly on the floor under tension. .
At the moment of the mistake, all the Warriors fans yelled, the offensive time was up, and the referee immediately blew his whistle!
Coach De Nagro heard the whistle and almost rushed directly into the field:
"It's definitely his own slip and fall! Hey! It's not a foul at all!"
Li Ze also spread his hands, and immediately rushed to the referee, explaining continuously:
"Sir, you should watch the replay! I swear, I didn't make any extra moves at all!"
The Warriors fans at the scene didn't care about the shouts of the Clippers players, everyone was cheering loudly, celebrating wildly that this was a narrow escape!
The three referees pretended to look back at the video, but after more than a minute, the Warriors breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, it was announced that the original verdict was upheld. The Oracle Arena was completely blown up, and they will have a chance to tie the score!
Under heavy pressure, Curry made two free throws, 107:107, with 37 seconds left in the game, the two sides tied again.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The fans at the scene shouted vigorously, and the head coach De Nagro did not call a timeout. The Clippers served from the backcourt, and Li Ze dribbled through the half with 8 seconds.
Within 30 seconds of the time, all the fans stood up and came to the left flank beyond the three-point line. Li Ze held the ball in his left hand and began to control the time.
There was no trace of nervousness on his face, but Iguodala, who was in charge of defending Li Ze, paced back and forth uneasily.
The initiative is indeed on the Warriors. Even if Li Ze completes this attack, they can still get about 13 seconds of attack time.
Seeing that the attack time was less than 10 seconds left, it was the Warriors who were the first to fail.
Green wanted his teammates to double-team, but he was afraid that the Clippers would score easily. With 7 seconds left in the offensive clock, Li Ze, who was on the left flank outside the three-point line, suddenly started.
With a low center of gravity, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand and accelerated his breakthrough. Iguodala desperately slid back to the right.
After an emergency stop, he switched to his right hand and pretended to break through to the line. Taking advantage of Iguodala's slide to the left, Li Ze immediately turned around towards the baseline with his left foot as the axis.
Completely throwing off the defense and taking advantage of the ball, Green predicted Li Ze's offensive choice, and immediately rushed up when Iguodala's defense lost his position.
Noticing the defense in front of him, Li Ze, who was still in the air, paused slightly, maintaining a sharp backward posture, and waited until Green began to slide, and then calmly threw the ball to the basket!
The ball flew past his fingertips, and after landing, Green felt his heart go cold. Watching the ball fall into the basket, all the Warriors fans in the Oracle Arena screamed:
"what!!"
109:107, Li Ze's fatal blow allowed the Clippers to complete the overtake!
With the last 14 seconds left in the game, Steve Kerr hurriedly requested a timeout.
Li Ze, who hit the key ball, was expressionless, but Paul George screamed excitedly, rushed up to hug Li Ze and walked to the bench together.
"God! Suffocating offense and defense, Draymond Green almost became a hero!"
Jeff Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief, and Mark Jackson also felt that the game was about to suffocate:
"There is no doubt that the Warriors will give Durant the last attack. This game will completely determine the trend of the series!"
The biggest effect of the timeout is to let Durant breathe a sigh of relief. In the Oracle Arena, seeing the Warriors returning to the field, the fans were too nervous to speak out.
The Clippers led by 2:0, and led by two points at the last moment. Everyone just needs to defend 3 and play 2.
All the pressure came to the Warriors. Li Ze, who appeared on the stage, stood beside Curry and joked at the last moment:
"Kevin is going to carry out the final attack again? I think you made the wrong choice!"
The noise at the scene made Curry understand what Li Ze said, but at this moment he was too nervous to respond, and according to the tactical requirements, he pretended to catch the ball and drag the defense.
Draymond Green was so nervous that he almost violated the 5-second serve, the tactics failed to be completed, and Durant was forced to receive the ball away from the three-point line.
The shot clock began to tick, and three seconds flew by. With the last 10 seconds left in the game, Durant began to dribble under the crotch outside the three-point line.
It seemed that it was unreliable to make a three-pointer. At the last moment, Durant held the ball in his right hand and changed direction, facing Paul George and going straight to the basket.
The 45-degree cut from the left made the nervous Warriors fans scream.
Durant, who broke through to the left block position, suddenly turned around, and Paul George was stuck behind him with a huge stride. He was close to the basket in the paint area, facing Jokic, who had already helped defend to the basket, with one hand with his right hand. Pick a basket!
Durant, who completed the difficult shot, finally fell to the floor.
The ball flew to the basket, bumped a bit and finally knocked out of the basket. The Warriors fans on the scene yelled, with the last 4 seconds left.
Jokic just took advantage of the trend to receive the rebound, but he didn't expect Green, who followed back to the basket, to cut the ball away. The fat white man who reacted faster hurriedly raised his hands high, not giving the opponent a chance to force himself under the basket.
With a blank mind, Green subconsciously threw the ball beyond the three-point line. The ball was very fast. Curry jumped up to catch the ball outside the three-point line.
The Warriors fans just wanted to cheer, but found that Li Ze jumped high and sent a block from the side
"OH——! Blocked by Kayce!!"
"It's over!!!"
The commentator Mike Brin saw that Li Ze completed the block and the trajectory of the ball changed, so he immediately yelled.
The ball touched Li Ze's fingertips, and finally failed to fly above the basket and began to fall.
"buzz"
The final buzz sounded, the score remained unchanged, 109:107, the Clippers won G3, and the series came to 3:0.
After completing the block, Li Ze immediately made a good night gesture, ran past Curry, and finally rushed to the Clippers bench.
The atmosphere team yelled and rushed to Li Ze's side, and the golden thighs attacked and defended, ending the game!
"Wow!"
Everyone in the Clippers hugged Li Ze and yelled. In the Oracle Arena, it seemed that only the excited shouts of the Clippers were left.
Stephen Curry seemed unacceptable to such a result, still standing outside the three-point line, looking straight at the basket.
Durant, who failed to send the ball to the basket on the last attack, just lay on the floor all the time. He played 44 minutes tonight, tired and paralyzed
As for Draymond Green, who almost became a hero, he opened his mouth wide at this time, silently watching the Clippers players celebrate wildly.
The Warriors' bench was surprisingly quiet, and everyone still couldn't accept such a result. Steve Kerr even sat on the bench, feeling frustrated.
"Shhh!!"
Voices reappear in Oracle Arena, Warriors fans boo again, and the nightmare returns.
Without a handshake, the frustrated Warriors simply turned their heads and walked towards the player tunnel.
On the other side, everyone in the Clippers made good night gestures one after another, and ran to the locker room bouncing up and down.
Green, who walked into the player tunnel, seemed to have completely recovered at this time, realizing that the big score was already 3:0.
Unable to hold back the annoyance in his heart anymore, he leaned against the wall and wept in a low voice. After being a licking dog for a season, this is the end?
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved Green burst into tears, and the staff of the Warriors hurried forward to comfort him.
On the other side, Li Ze, who was walking towards the player tunnel, had already hugged Steve Ballmer with a big laugh. The old man waved his fist and shouted excitedly:
"Clippers in four!"
