On the day of the finals game 5, 76 people went from Philadelphia to Golden State, entered the hotel, arranged training, prepared for the battle, and went to the Oracle Arena.

The hostility of this city can be discovered through many aspects, and Wei Xia saw the hatred of foreigners on the faces of many people.

They hope that the 76ers will explode on the spot so that the Warriors, who have been away from the championship for 41 years, will win the cup again.

They want to see Stephen Curry crowned.

I want the Warriors to become the strongest team in history because of their 74 wins in the regular season - they only need to win the championship after completing this indicator.

"Those cliches you've heard countless times, I don't want to say them anymore, I just want to reiterate one thing-"

In the player channel, 76ers surrounded Wei Xia and listened to his lecture.

"What we are chasing is not the footprint of the Bulls, nor the footprint of the Lakers. We have been leaving our own footprints along the way. We don't want to be anyone." Wei Xia said, "This game is not the ending battle, but I know that to defeat the Warriors, we must win again at their home court. I want to use every point in my body to compete for the chance of winning that exists or does not exist, but I also need the support of each of you!"

"Let's embrace the dawn, brothers, either the four are empty or win everything!"

Wei Xia's words aroused the excitement of his teammates in the player channel. This is an advantage of good eloquence, but Wei Xia did not play on the spot.

He prepared this passage for several days and demonstrated it against the wall countless times before the actual combat before he could respond with such a loud voice.

They rushed into the stadium, and what came to them was the booing of away fans.

These sounds are no longer important.

They warmed up intently and waited for the game to begin.

After completing all the procedures, all the starters of both sides appeared.

Compared with the first four games, there is no change. Both sides started the first game and now they are still starters. Both think that their lineup is the best solution.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and Cousins ​​racquetted the ball to Holiday.

The Warriors are on high alert. According to previous practice, Holiday should play at full speed.

But this time, he slowly passed the half-time like a serious point guard, and then passed the ball to Cousins ​​in the high position.

The 76ers system does not have the relevant tactics of high-level support in the inside. In order to help Cousins ​​support, they temporarily added many tactics to the high-level support link.

Because it was a sudden move and had no special training, it was very unfamiliar when fighting, and it was all up to the players' tacit understanding.

No one expected that the Warriors would have such a great defensive intensity at the opening.

They chased Wei Xia like an army that surrounded and suppressed bandits.

When Wei Xia was trying to take the ball with Cousins' cover, Gasol suddenly hit his front, and his rough body confrontation accompanied by the contact of his whole body, knocking him to the ground.

"Beep!"

Gasol is too aggressive, and even Butchet, who advocates confrontation, blew up a foul.

“wowow!!!”

Jeff Van Gundy could see it all at once: "Tonight's Warriors are different from the past few games."

"Yes, they did not seem to want to use too extreme means to win."

Mark Jackson transformed into a psychologist and analyzed the Warriors' psychology: "They think they are invincible and can win the championship as long as they perform normally. The 76ers corrected their wrong ideas."

Mike Bryn stopped Jackson from continuing Yang Yi's behavior: "More likely, they changed their playing style because of the referee tonight."

Which reason is not important to the 76ers.

The Warriors took the lead in getting the game into a high-intensity confrontation mode that the 76ers did not expect.

Wei Xia slowed down, Hayward ran out of tactics, passed the ball in place, made a three-pointer, and made a blacksmith.

The long rebound fell to Green's hand and he immediately launched a quick counterattack.

The speed was very fast, but Farid also caught up with him at about the same pace, and the two stalemates into the penalty area.

Green failed to hit a layup in the confrontation, and the ball was taken away by 76ers.

The exaggerated confrontation has made many people change their vision of the Warriors.

They successfully used confrontation to prevent the 76ers from running out of the tactics.

Butchet advocated the law enforcement style of physical contact and began to make the Warriors profitable.

If his teammates couldn't run out of the opportunity, it wouldn't be that much of a point in dealing Cousins ​​at a high position, and he had to dribble and hit the basket.

The best offensive opportunity has disappeared, and his strong hit is not hit.

The rebounding point is another competition.

Wei Xia's reaction was unexpected.

From Cousins's ball, he seemed to see the future. He moved in advance and was on guard against him. Wall had no sense of this and lost the opportunity to grab rebounds early.

Four or five people ran towards the rebounding point, but the ball had been taken first by Wei Xia.

Gasol's malicious moves showed his intention. He didn't care about fouls. The Warriors were determined to do something that the team hadn't done for a long time - limit Wei Xia's scoring!

Even Jordan had his worst career finals performance in the 1996 Finals by the Supersonics in the restricted-level defense.

Butchet's law enforcement style gave the Warriors a chance to completely block Wei Xia with the style of the 1990s.

Just like what the 76ers did to Curry before.

Wei Xia himself was surprised that the retribution came so quickly in this life.

"It's really frustrating for you to do this," Weisha told Wall.

Wall replied lightly: "What we want is to make you depressed."

"I hope you don't get me wrong. The reason why I'm frustrated is that you actually think that doing this will prevent me."

Do you really think everyone is Curry? Wei Xia still said this.

It’s not that Curry is not outstanding enough, but that high-pressure defense works for Curry because of the particularity of his playing style. This is the fate of all players who do not have static talent or dynamic talent and have high advantages.

They practiced their skills and changed their destiny, but everyone was equal in the face of talent.

Wei Xia took the ball and drove it from the outside, but suddenly stopped and got up. The space was too wide, and the Warriors did not dare to double-team.

So Weisha shot in Wall's face.

"Swish!"

2 to 0

He broke the dilemma of neither side scoring since the start.

The 76ers came back to bring the Warriors a high-intensity defense.

The Warriors were prepared for this situation and were mature in correspondence. Curry pulled away, Thompson stood in the bottom corner, Grinned, and Gasol made a pass to the ground.

Green received the ball and scored a back basket with one hand.

2 to 2

Cousins ​​wanted to pass the exact same ball, and he instructed Farid to cut in like Green.

He was naughty. Although he was fighting against Gasol, he also knew clearly that Green could successfully counterattack because Curry and Thompson opened up the space, and Farid had nothing. If he hit the earth in such a small place, he would have to be cut off.

He passed the air contact.

Farid's position and space were awkward, and he could only get the free-received ball into his hands, and the subsequent attack could not be continued.

He wanted to fight high, but he was originally a dwarf in the inside line. How high can he be? In the end, he still had to use his explosive power to attack.

The physical confrontation given by Green is definitely a foul in other games, but this is not counted.

No one was called a foul, and this level of confrontation would never whistle.

Grab the rebounds into a ball.

Cousins ​​ran to the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound, and made a second attack.

In two consecutive rounds, the 76ers fought for offensive rebounds to make a second offensive.

The Warriors gave Wei Xia too much strength on the outside, which led to no one helping the inside to protect the rebounds, and the rebound position was not done well.

This is the price they have to pay from the beginning.

There are only so many resources on the court. If you want to focus on doing something, there will be a lack of staff in other places.

For the Warriors, losing a few offensive rebounds is far less important than defending Wei Xia.

Back at the defensive end, Wei Xia chased Curry and ran.

As long as Curry stops, he will be close to him.

Close-fitting defense, not giving you a chance to catch the ball, and at the same time, there are too many small movements that can be done in close-fitting state.

It’s like a couple who gets into bed and gets close to that point, and they don’t do whatever they want.

If the other party loves you, it doesn’t matter how close you are. If the other party is full of malicious intentions, it will be terrible.

The Warriors' strategic intentions can be seen at a glance that they want to cause trouble for Wei Xia.

This idea is the same as Wei Xia's demand to make Curry not die well on the court.

It depends on who is more ruthless and can't stand the blow.
