Chapter 924 This is the rules of the game
Offense is the Warriors' biggest problem.
The 76ers' defense is determined to lock the Warriors' outside line. Wei Xia is always rushing to Curry's butt. Thompson is disturbed by Oubre's harassment. Rondo and Wo are half-hearted.
Rondo has mastered the way to empty Wall.
Wall didn't have to die with him on the outside, and he would break into the inside at full speed whenever he had the chance.
If there is only the threat of breakthrough, the regular season will be enough, and the playoffs will be another world. Any obvious loophole will be exploited. Wall's shooting is too obvious. When he breaks through, the 76ers concentrated on using confrontation to destroy his feel of finding the basket.
Wall also dared not force his attack, the Warriors must score.
His ball was distributed to the outside line, and at that moment, Curry happened to use Thompson's no-ball cover to catch Wei Xia.
Oubre is a rookie. Can he realize that he will switch to Curry in an instant?
Other rookies may not have this awareness, but Oubrey has it. He has been reminded countless times that he will change his defense without thinking about his own people whenever he encounters cover and pick-and-rolls against Curry.
Curry went through great difficulty to get over Wei Xia, but he had to face Oubrey, who was more than two meters tall and had an arm span of 218 cm.
In terms of physical condition alone, Oubre is a better defender than Weisha.
His size is enough to cause interference.
Curry forced his move under severe interference - bang!
At this time, Gasol bravely grabbed the offensive rebound, and his second attack was interfered by Cousins. He then kicked the ball twice in a row. Although he occupied a good position, Cousins did not want him to dominate the penalty area with such a posture.
He slapped the ball off Gasol's hands twice.
The second time, the ball was slapped on the back of Gasol's hand and flew out of bounds.
Gasol worked as hard as his teammates, but the ball rights belonged to the 76ers.
"Is this team really the Golden State Warriors?"
"That team that won 74?"
"That team that tore the Thunder in the division final?"
"Why don't I know them anymore?"
Mark Jackson's soul four-game questioned, but the Warriors' offense still did not improve.
Half of the second quarter have passed, with the 41-30, and the 76ers leading the Warriors by 11 points.
They played the Warriors' favorite fast pace, and the lineup was filled with the pick-and-roll disaster, but their assisted defense and rotation were rare in the world.
If the referee supports them to put pressure on it, it is indeed difficult to export opportunities through passing.
The Warriors tried to create three-point chances with a sudden score. Thompson had a free spot, and Curry encountered the highest level of assisting defense, but they all got a glimmer of hope.
Just didn't enter.
The Warriors can create 74 wins, with strength and victory. During the regular season, they scored hero goals in countless critical moments if they had a helping god.
The feel of those moments did not appear in the finals.
The 76ers' defense seems to be able to really kill the Warriors' offense.
Their defense is not bad. Curry faces Rondo on the defensive end, and uses extreme shorting.
Wall vs. Weisha, Iguodala vs. Oubre, Green vs. Farid, Gasol vs. Cousins.
The short-lifting strategy against Rondo gives the Warriors the advantage of local more defense less. With this advantage, they continuously defended the 76ers tactical launch and ball-holding breakthrough.
Oubrey is on the head.
He actually wanted to attack with the ball, and Green brutally knocked him out of the field.
Such a cruel behavior naturally exchanged him for a foul and booing the audience.
Not only did Green not panic, he enjoyed the away booing.
"It's 11 points behind but it can celebrate like 11 points ahead, just because you fouled a rough foul on the rookie." Wei Xia helped Oubre up and said sarcastically, "You really opened my eyes."
Green was mocked by Wei Xia for a long time. Every time, he could only exaggerate and shout "Chinese" if he was apart from being incompetent and furious.
If Wei Xia is willing to be serious, just Chinese people can play racist cards to kill him.
But Wei Xia is not James after all. If they are forced into a desperate situation by the Warriors in the future, he may use any means. Who can tell this kind of thing?
"Stop talking nonsense!" Green yelled.
The 76ers sent out the ball to Wei Xia.
"Boss, I'm not doing anything!" shouted Oubre.
"That's good," Wei Xia happened to meet Green to guard herself, "very good."
Green shouted vulgarly: "You know I will be guarding you! You can't beat me at all!"
Green could not have known how strong Wei Xia's offense was. He shouted loudly at this moment, not only to boost his courage, but also to boost morale.
If he defends Wei Xia, the Warriors will naturally be in a great way.
What if he fails?
This kind of emotional streaming player always makes similar mistakes. They see some high returns and high risks, and they only see rewards but no risks.
They don't know if this risk is borne by themselves.
Wei Xia slapped the ball with his right hand, and the smile on his face gradually solidified. Suddenly, his right hand launched a quick start-up breakthrough, as Green's center of gravity moved with him.
Green felt the impetus under Wei Xia's low center of gravity.
It was too late. The moment he discovered the problem, Wei Xia stopped suddenly and turned around like a dance, fixing his body in place.
Green's defense was completely freed, and turning back after learning in the game against Pearl Monroe has become Wei Xia's routine method. He uses it very frequently and uses his 195 cm figure to do that movement, stretching like a baby's skin, which is so smooth that it is indescribable.
Fouls are the Warriors' final technique left.
Gasol chose the replacement position to be accurate, but after Wei Xia jumped into the air, he had some air operations and was about to take action, Green attacked his lower body from behind, thus destroying the balance of his whole body.
"Beep!!!"
Before Wei Xia reversed the Yin and Yang, the remaining feel of the palm of his hand was sent out to the basketball. Then his body fell to the ground, and Cousins rushed to Green to punch.
Although Farid looked like a beast, he had a delicate and soft heart. He quickly stepped forward to stop Cousins: "Now is not the time, DeMarcus!"
"That's right!"
Wei Xia's words are the key to stopping riots.
"Boge, he is a mad dog. With his IQ, he can only come up with this method to stop me. Don't learn from him." Wei Xia's words eliminated Cousins' anger and added a blow to Green.
The Frugal Center shouted in unison with Wei Xia MVP.
Wei Xia's fall was fine, but he scared his family.
Judging from the on-site scene, it was too terrifying. Fortunately, he had learned to lose balance over the years and spread his limbs and land smoothly like a cat.
Although human body softness is not comparable to that of felines, Wei Xia is rarely injured due to breaking down.
The second quarter has passed, and the 76ers have an absolute advantage from scoring to the scene.
This has exceeded the expectations of the outside world.
"The Warriors tonight reminded me of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals," Van Gundy said. "That was the only playoff game they lost in the Western Conference. They were in a very similar state to that night."
"The question is, they are not 3-0 lead now, so what qualifications are there to relax?"
"Maybe they are not relaxing, but they are unable to find a solution to the problem."
Wei Xia's 21 is far more psychologically hitting the Warriors than the score.
He was squirting trash talk, especially Green.
Green made a non-basketball move but did not stop him from scoring. He cheered up and stopped Cousins from expanding the conflict, and made a penalty.
44 to 30
The 14-point gap is still a long time to play. The Warriors seem to be trapped in a maze, struggling to find a way out but always spinning around.
Curry's bad temper subconscious appeared.
Wei Xia and the Warriors invaded his body repeatedly in the next offensive round.
"He fouled!" Curry shouted.
The referee ignored it.
"Damn it!" Curry angrily shot back at Wei Xia.
Of course, the referee didn't swear, but Wei Xia's physical confrontation was far stronger than Curry. While he hit back, he also exposed his weaknesses to the attackable range.
Wei Xia didn't wave his elbow in front of him, and he hit Curry with all his strength, causing him to go from standing still to slip forward and painfully.
Because the Warriors' offense was so bad that Thompson needed to hold the ball, the referee's focus was also there. Wei Xia even the referee in this round had to play a defensive foul collision, which did not attract attention.
The easiest part of Curry's subconscious mind that he will choose to give up on himself or confront him head-on after discovering that the rules he knows are no longer universal.
He played in the finals today, and he could not give up on himself, so head-on battles were the only choice.
The cruelty of reality lies in how could he be Wei Xia’s opponent head-on?
When Thompson's strong attack was rejected by Cousins' ruthlessly, the Warriors applied for the second timeout in the quarter.
With 3 minutes and 40 seconds left before the end of the first half, the Warriors have fallen into extreme passiveness.
They set up a 41 system that was exactly the same as the 76ers, but were roughly destroyed by the 76ers.
Confrontation, intensity, roughness, barbarity... All the original basketball elements can be seen in this 76ers.
Just like Curry complained off the court: "They are not playing basketball at all!"
"Stephen, I understand your anger, but if the referee is indifferent to it, then this is the game tonight." Cole knew that Curry's mood had recessed and they had no chance to turn the tables, "You have to adapt!"
