The 76ers have achieved certain results, and the Warriors, who are famous for their unsolvable attacks, defended 18 points in a single quarter.

If the next four quarters of the game keep this pace, the Warriors may not score more than 80 points in a game.

This is unimaginable for a team that averages nearly 120 points per game.

And this is the defense of the 76ers.

The evolution of Curry turned the Warriors into an invincible team.

All teams facing them have to do two multiple-choice questions: put Curry or the rest of the Warriors.

Because the concept of defensive Curry is that it is impossible for a person to do it.

In last year's finals, the 76ers also used double-team tactics to effectively limit Curry, and then defeated several other points of the Warriors.

So, Curry received the highest level of defensive treatment.

As the main counterattack, Wei Xia found ways to consume his physical strength;

When Curry calls cover, no matter who is inside, he will come out to delay obstacles and perform local pinch attacks; or based on Curry's movement, decide whether to attack or switch defenses.

In order to implement the second strategy, the 76ers gave Farid, who had been moved from the starting lineup by the coaching staff because of a poor three-pointer feel, got a lot of time.

But this is still not enough.

Farid's power alone cannot take care of Curry all over the field. Another hidden danger exposed by the 76ers is that they really don't have many sports insiders that can seamlessly connect to the defense s

Cousins ​​himself is a helping defence pit, Odom's defense cannot be expected, and Hollins lost his athletic ability when he was young. After all, it is true that there is only Farid.

In order to completely block Curry, the 76ers' wing also made such a special arrangement: when Curry attacks the basket or transfers the weak side, if Wei Xia does not keep up, then Hayward and Rondo will urgently fill up the position within their ability and will never give Curry any gap.

Has the 76ers treated which opponent this way?

Or, in the long history of the 76ers, has there been such a Curry rule that is comparable to Jordan's law?

The answer is unprecedented. Curry led the three-point thoughts beyond the times. He made people realize that if the three-point shots are accurate, smoothly played, and easy rotation and counterattack, it will only take a few minutes to make a close match.

However, Curry averaged 5 three-pointers per game with an exaggerated shooting percentage this season.

Moreover, regardless of Curry's shooting difficulty, distance, and defensive strength, they are different from those seniors who are famous for their unballed running and receiving and shooting.

This is a newer idea.

What if the three-pointer could be like a mid-range emergency stop jump shot?

Wei Xia thought about what Kobe said to him at the beginning of the season, and he thought Curry's shooting would lead the basketball in the new era.

He is right.

But Wei Xia will not be discouraged because his opponent's playing style is ahead of him. He has been observing Curry for a long time.

In addition to himself, Wei Xia believes that there are no players in the league without weaknesses.

He used to have many weaknesses, and now he has been corrected by himself. Perhaps, his only weakness is his age.

In the second quarter, the 76ers coaching staff decisively adjusted their defensive strategy.

It clarified the rhythm of the Warriors' leadership defense (as long as he holds the ball for halftime) to control the Warriors. When encountering screens or pick-and-rolls, no matter whether there is a ball or not, they must switch unlimited defenses. There is no difference between the inside and outside. This style of playing is provided by the Spurs not long ago. They are the initiators of one of the Warriors' current six defeats.

The Spurs have the best defense in the league. They not only restricted Curry in that game, but also let the rest of the Warriors go. The 76ers first took the full limit of Curry as their core guiding ideology tonight, and then considered others.

Wei Xia and Curry's playing time are consistent. As long as he is present, he will definitely face Curry.

As for the others, they strengthened the protection of the wings in the second quarter. The rest of the Warriors did not seize the open space in the first quarter, so there were not many opportunities in the second quarter.

Defensive strength, defensive strength, or defensive strength.

During the whole quarter, the 76ers were on the defensive intensity.

They let the Warriors discover in advance that their offense may not be as rude as the regular season in the playoffs.

Steve Cole is very confident in the Warriors' tactical system. Even if the players don't enter, his tactics have no intention of stopping.

The Warriors missed countless three-pointers, but the 76ers' offense was more reasonable.

Wei Xia and Cousins ​​are still the main attackers, and they like to use their physical advantages to fight the Warriors' penalty area.

Marc Gasol's threat in the penalty area is even bigger than his brother, especially on the defensive end.

The 76ers' two major offensive cores, Wei Xia and Cousins' offensive focus are on the inside, and they also drive the performance of the outside, making 3 of 6 three-pointers in a single quarter.

The Warriors' touch was so poor that they couldn't believe it.

He made 0 of 9 points in a single quarter. The more he made the shot, the more he was unwilling to make the shot, the more he wanted to make the shot. He had the style of a deformed team that he didn't even want to make the center in order to increase his speed.

76 people surprisingly established an advantage.

43 to 35

The 76ers entered the second quarter with a clear advantage.

"I've been commenting on the Warriors' game for almost 20 years, and I've never seen them score only 35 points in the first half."

Warriors' home announcer He Weici said in disbelief.

The Warriors have a long history and are not without a first-half score lower than this in history, but since the 1980s, they have been playing offensive-oriented basketball.

Although this style of play is difficult to become a champion, at least the scene is good.

35 points in the halftime, this is something that has never happened in most fans' memories.

In order to relieve Curry's pressure, in the second half, the Warriors kept covering Curry, while the 76ers changed defenses like crazy.

Cousins, a guy who never knows how to defend the defender, stayed at a high position to switch to Curry for a long time in the second half.

Suns fans will not be unfamiliar with this.

Ten years ago, Duncan often entertained Nash like this.

Cousins' defense is naturally very different from Duncan.

In the past, Cousins ​​didn't have much patience for switching defenses because the opponent's small defenders often teased his defense.

Wei Xia is Curry's main counterattack, Curry is silent tonight, and he is the first to be the leader.

The frequent cover of the Warriors has made single defense meaningless. How to do a good job in assisting defense and rotating the defensive end is the key to victory or defeat.

Wei Xia replaced the inside, guarded Jingquan in the penalty area and took time to take care of Curry in his busy schedule.

He gave Curry two big hats that discouraged the Warriors.

First, Curry took the cover and made a fake shot to get rid of it. Wei Xia made a accurate judgment. While chasing the cover, his teammates also arrived. Picking up the ball on the floor made a smooth counterattack.

The second block is not so much that Wei Xia is very good at defending, but rather that the 76ers cooperate with thoughtfulness.

Curry received the ball and forced it out to replace the defense, then shook Cousins ​​away, Rondo made up for the position, Wei Xia followed up on the weak side, and nailed the board to drop Curry's layup.

This is equivalent to three people defending one.

Curry completely stopped the engine, and the Warriors could only let others play, but the outside feel is a problem for the whole team. If you rely solely on breaking through to the basket to score points, although Wei Xia is not a center, his ability to protect the basket can be completely compete with the center.

Wall and Green frequently call pick-and-roll and attack continuously.

Thompson moved sideways, and after 76ers switched defenses for three rounds, the transfers were chaotic, while four of the Warriors' starting five were excellent passers and could find open teammates.

Even though Curry was invisible most of the time, the Warriors were forced to be unacceptable by the 76ers' amazing defensive strength and lagged behind most of the time, but they also overtook three times. However, the 76ers rely on their inside advantage, Wei Xia's personal ability, frontcourt rebounds, and inside scoring, withstood the counterattack of the league's No. 1 team and still sit gracefully on their throne.

At the last moment of the game, both sides truly demonstrated their tactical qualities.

Weisha Hayward suddenly hit Thompson, causing him to drop the ball, and Rondo made a weak side to copy the ball, perfectly collaborative defense.

Later, the Warriors used double cover to move Curry in the pick-and-roll position, Wall hit a three-pointer, and the Warriors still had a chance.

As a result, in the first 20 seconds of the final game, the 76ers did not call a timeout. Wei Xia played a tactic and had the leisure to run for 15 seconds. Suddenly, using Cousins' body as a support to break through, catch the ball and make a three-pointer, and the ball entered, locking in the victory.

For the 76ers, the Warriors are like a more advanced self.

Both teams are teams with complicated passes, but the 76ers are both the first in the league in terms of back-on attacks (14% of the offense) and fixed-point shooting (21%). The Warriors are the first in the league in three-pointers.

The Warriors are faster, and the 76ers are more stable.

Tonight, the 76ers used a tough defense but dull offense style to go against the trend, neither accelerating nor three-pointers. They proved that they are still one of the best teams in the league.

The Warriors should also know that it is difficult to win the championship just by relying on their current style of play, and they must polish themselves a little more solidly.

Wei Xia is undoubtedly the best in the game. She has 44 minutes of playing time, 36 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, and Curry, who faces him, has a 32% shooting percentage, and 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the game.

You know, as the first person in MVP simulation prediction, he averaged 2576 per game, and his hit rate was even higher than that of Smash Parker tonight.

Many people just watched the game and couldn't understand how good Wei Xia's defense was.

Only by deeply understanding how great Curry's offense is this season can we know how great Wei Xia's single defense is.

Curry told reporters: "Many people say we have booked the championship this year, but in fact, wish is still the mountain that we need to look up to. We are ready to climb this mountain, but it will take time."
