32, the Raptors won the match point again

On June 8, the 2018-19 NBA Finals reached Game 4, and the Golden State Warriors continued to face the Toronto Raptors at home.

Starting lineups of both sides:

Warriors: Iguodala, Drummond Green, Cousins, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry.

Raptors: Leonard, Siakam, Gasol Jr., Danny Green, Lowry.

In this game, Klay Thompson and Looney returned to the front line without recovering from injury, and the Warriors' combat power and fighting spirit have been greatly improved.

Clay took a break and the strained thigh was basically fine, while Looney returned with an injury, which was very energetic.

At the beginning, Curry made a three-pointer, and Tang Shen made a jump shot, and the Warriors took the lead. In the inside, Zhu Meng Green, Cousins ​​and Looney also scored in the basket one after another. On the other hand, the Raptors, the role players collectively remained silent and could only rely on Xiaoka to attack and score points.

In the later part of this quarter, the Warriors continued to attack fiercely, and Looney scored a tip-in, which once made the difference to double digits. In the dilemma, Xiao Ka's turnover jump shot and three-pointer to stop the bleeding.

After the single quarter, the Raptors temporarily lag behind 17-23.

The Raptors used Ibaka to get a miracle effect in the second quarter. In more than three minutes, Ibaka scored three times in the basket. One of the defenders changed direction and singles Cousins ​​made a backward jump shot, which was even more amazing.

Livingston and Tom God's scores quickly helped the Warriors stabilize the situation. In the middle of this quarter, with Zhu Meng Green making a layup, the difference reached 8 points. But after that, the supporting roles of the Raptors suddenly woke up, Siakam, Ibaka, and Gasol Jr. took turns to exert force. As Lowry made a foul and made 2 of 2 free throws, the Raptors fell behind 42-46 after the half.

After the change of sides, Xiao Ka scored two superstar three-pointers as soon as he got up, helping the Raptors overtake.

On the Warriors' side, Curry couldn't find the feeling for a long time, and the burden of offense was still on the shoulders of God Tang.

In the first half of the third quarter, Tang Shen made three-pointers to extend the Warriors' life. In the later part of this quarter, Gasol Jr., Ibaka's three-pointer also made the goal, and the Raptors took the opportunity to climax. During this period, Ibaka's role was particularly obvious. He played with Van Vritte in succession and scored with a cake.

Leonard continued to maintain his firepower, free throws and jump shots scored 6 points in a row.

After the third quarter, the Raptors overtook 79-67.

An accident occurred on the court in the final quarter. Van Vreet was accidentally injured by Livingston in an elbow, bleeding from the corner of his eye, and a tooth fell. He was forced to return to the locker room for treatment.

The Raptors were not affected, Ibaka's hook and dunk made, Ka and Danny Green also made three-pointers, and the Raptors maintained the 2-digit advantage.

At the end of this quarter, Curry turned on the extreme operation mode and scored 8 points in a row. However, Lowry made a layup steadily, and the difference was still double-digit, and the suspense was basically killed.

In the end, after the game, the Raptors defeated the Warriors 105-92 again, leading 3-1 in total, and won the championship point.

On the Raptors, Xiao Ka continued his high-energy performance. He made 11 of 22 shots, scored 36 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and sent 4 steals.

In addition to Kat, Ibaka became the winning surprise. He made 9 of 12 shots, scored 20 points and 4 rebounds. Other players, Lowry scored 10 points, 7 assists and 3 interruptions, Siakam scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, Gasol scored 9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Danny Green scored 3 points, 3 rebounds and 3 interruptions. VanVleet scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. In the last quarter, he suffered an elbow hit, bleeding from the corners of his eyes, and a tooth was knocked out.

On the Warriors' side, Klay Thompson made a comeback, making 11 of 18 shots, scoring 28 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Curry made 9 of 22 shots, scoring 27 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Looney 10 points, 6 rebounds, Drummond Green 10 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists, Cousins ​​6 points and 4 rebounds, Iguodala made 1 of 6 shots, scoring 3 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Livingston 6 points and 3 rebounds.

The Raptors' three-point shooting percentage is 31.3%, the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage is 29.6%. The two teams are not much different, and there is no difference in rebounds, but the two teams have a lot of mistakes. The Warriors make 17 mistakes, the Raptors only have 9 steals, the Warriors steal 6 times, and the Raptors as many as 12 times, which makes the Raptors have 8 more mobile phones!

It's obvious that the Raptors did a good job on the defensive end, especially with their very tight defense against Curry, which made it difficult for the Warriors to play.

The Raptors have a good defense, one of the reasons is that they do have many defensive players, especially the forward defense, and the second is that the Warriors' lineup is abnormal and the space on the field is too poor.

Warriors starters Riglin, Cousins ​​and Iguodala can basically be regarded as having no three-point ability. The Raptors often emptied these three players, and they focused most of their energy on the Splash Brothers, especially Curry, which made Curry and Clay very uncomfortable.

Conversely, Gasol Jr., Lowry, and Danny Greene all have three-pointers, and Siakam's three-pointer is more reliable than Drummond Greene, which is a serious test for the Warriors' defense.

In addition, the Warriors' substitute players performed poorly, which was much worse than the Raptors. Ibaka scored higher points per person than the Warriors' substitute!

Of course, Curry's poor feel in this game is also a problem. He has a lot of shots, but his shooting percentage is not ideal, which is also a problem.
