Chapter 437
"It's too exaggerated to play basketball like Xiang Chu. Curry is the role model for us ordinary people and supports Curry."
"A naive, a muscular man of 1.9 meters is an ordinary person. God-like shooting is a talent that ordinary people cannot reach, otherwise, can you become a scientist with the same compulsory education? If you can, I can practice and bounce more than 1 meter to make a dunk."
"It's unreasonable. You will know what real modern basketball is when the Warriors put down their burdens and create a small lineup. Then you can see what Xiang Chu will do."
"Ignorance, what modern basketball, are you talking about? Then why is the Nuggets the defending champion? What can win is the direction of modern basketball development."
When the online fans fought, the Eastern Conference Finals also began.
In fact, there are more fans who support the Nuggets. Xiang Chu did not pay attention and could not stop Olivia's report.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, after resisting the second quarter, the Hawks were defeated by the Cavaliers with strong defense and personal ability of the stars.
James scored 30 again, while JR-Smith made 8 three-pointers on the Cavaliers' bench and became the surprise.
The problem exposed by the Eagle was caught by the Knights, which is that it is not strong enough in attacking skills.
The Wizards have been killed by the stars in the past two games, let alone the Cavaliers with stronger stars.
The Eagles are too average in all aspects, which is an advantage but also a barrier to getting higher fronts.
I used to think that it would be troublesome if the Cavaliers lacked Love, but after passing the Bulls and winning the Hawks away, the outside world already believed that the Cavaliers without Love were also the strongest in the East.
The Cavaliers with Love are stronger, but the Cavaliers are James's team. James has the guarantee. If Love is replaced by Tristan Thompson, the team will have fewer routines, but not much weaker.
James is very popular but his opponent is too weak, so the Western Conference Finals are more popular.
In the second battle, both sides will not test anything again, at least the Warriors will put aside their ideological burden and fight desperately.
Xiang Chu's advantage in the inside was overwhelming. He played 21 at the beginning of the game, and Bogut didn't even react.
His opening shot is not like a veteran, he is simply putting pressure on people.
Only when his point exploded would the Nuggets play easily on the outside.
In fact, the tactics of both sides at the beginning did not change. The Warriors also went out to cover and gave Curry and Thompson a chance to take action, while Barnes was squatting on the bottom line.
The Nuggets' defensive focus must be Curry and Thompson. It would be fine if Green asked him to shoot a few goals.
Green's best is defense and organization. Unless he feels so terrible, he will definitely be put on a point.
Of course, if Bogut goes out as a cover, he will be ignored.
Bogut's speed was not fast enough, and Xiang Chu could be limited in time when he was two steps away from him.
The first goal is that the Warriors have not completely finished the position, and their defense against Xiang Chu is also very clear.
After that, it would not be so easy for Xiang Chu to play 21. Xiang Chu has rarely played the opponent's center this season, so his strength must be stronger, and other teams' attention to him has increased several times.
For example, several strong teams in the Western Conference have practiced how to defend the inside many times.
Be honest in making a meat shield, not thinking about scoring or starting, this is a defensive skill and there is nothing to do.
In other words, Xiang Chu and others sacrificed their other abilities to defend themselves. If the team's other attacks are not strong enough, it will be a death to use, and the weak team really can't learn it.
Both sides have good ability to seize opportunities, and the scores have also risen alternately.
After half a quarter, the Warriors took the lead in seeking change, and Cole could not watch the game develop towards the previous trajectory.
Xiang Chu is really too stable and has good physical strength. The two sides are in a stalemate until the end, it is very likely that the Warriors will lose again.
It is very risky to be the first to seek change, but the Warriors are the challengers, and they must have this courage.
The lineup was adjusted, and the Warriors were replaced with a smaller lineup, allowing Iguodala to cooperate with Green to defend Xiang Chu.
This lineup is definitely worse in defense inside, but the advantage is that it can shoot three-pointers on the offensive end. Whether Xiang Chu follows or not, they can be more flexible on the offensive end.
A small lineup is just betting on offense. When facing the Nuggets, it is actually betting on three points.
Although the Warriors are not the one who takes the most three-pointers, their shooting percentage is definitely the highest. The three-point shooting percentage of the outside three points is above 40%. I would like to ask if you are afraid.
Let's put it this way, the Nuggets are also a strong three-point team, but they can find several of them with Barnes' shooting percentage, such as Knight, Middleton, Dunleavy, Curry and Thompson, who are numerous and accurate, which are the only ones in the league.
As soon as the Warriors changed their formation, Curry scored a three-pointer.
The Nuggets' defense has not been fully expanded at this time. They are Xiang Chu who is protecting the inside and focusing on the outside. To be honest, the shooting percentage of Iguodala and Green in their small lineup is not that good, so the Nuggets can relax a little.
But both of them passed well enough, and the Nuggets still didn't expect the Warriors to be so determined.
Or, they didn't expect Curry to be so accurate.
After the Warriors' ball reaches Green or Iguodala's hands, the Nuggets' defense will pass. It is this moment of connection that the two of them return the ball to Curry's unballed position, and the other person will give him an unballed cover.
Curry shoots whenever he catches the ball, and shoots whenever he takes it.
Curry scored a three-pointer in the first half of the quarter, which is at normal level.
But as soon as the small lineup came out, they poured the ball from the outside, and Curry scored three in one minute.
And thanks to Curry's sudden outbreak, the Warriors also gained a lead.
George Carl felt the timeout and re-arranged his defensive tactics. Anyway, no matter whether the opponent has the ball or does not have the ball cover, he would switch defenses if he blocked the person and swiped Curry as soon as possible.
Xiang Chu also came out to guard it, and when necessary, he also beat Curry or Thompson, and they both recognized him.
Chu discussed with George Carl before this game, and the two of them confirmed the tactics as soon as they exchanged their eyes.
Although Xiang Chufang was not as good as the three-second zone when he went out to block the shot, his defensive ability did not need to be questioned. He could use his height and arm length to put pressure on both steps away from the opponent.
For top pitchers like Curry and Thompson, he can step forward to save, but Xiang Chu is not slow.
He said that he didn't care about being beaten, and there was no threat of two points but not three points. He just beat him back.
Moreover, the opponent must be very decisive when shooting such a shooting rate. Sometimes, if you decide to shoot three points, you will never break through. At this time, both sides have to take a gamble.
The Nuggets' defense is not bad, but they are not top-notch. If you change the defensive tactics, you will definitely not be perfect.
So they allowed loopholes. Anyway, Curry and Thompson cannot have problems, and there is nothing wrong with others.
When he came on the court again, the Warriors felt that the Nuggets' defense was completely different, and Curry no longer had the space to shoot before.
