Chapter 219 Provocation
Author: Different Sparks
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 33 to 31, with the Timberwolves leading the Warriors by 2 points.
At the end of the half, the score between the two sides was 60 to 61, and the Warriors went into the halftime break with a one-point lead.
The tense situation of the game also made everyone watching this game excited. It can be said that the two teams really turned this regular season into a playoff-level game.
Soon after the intermission, Dazhuang replaced LaVine with Middleton.
To be honest, LaVine's performance in this game was not good. Although there was no buff blessing, the purpose of putting him on the court was to let him play to his strengths, but there was no requirement to be strong on either the defensive end or the offensive end.
Type it out.
Soon the third quarter of the game between the two sides began at the referee's whistle.
After the game started, both sides maintained the same feel as in the first two quarters.
Curry was one step outside the three-point line and used David Lee's pick-and-roll to directly shoot a three-pointer. Even though Lin Shuhao was already on guard, the basketball still fell into the basket accurately.
Looking back at the Timberwolves' offense, after Shuhao Lin handed the ball to Oden, he slipped to the baseline and then ran back, using Himes to block the defender Curry, and then attracted the Warriors' defensive attention after receiving the ball.
Then the ball was handed to Middleton on the weak side. Facing Iguodala who came over to defend, Middleton also hit a three-pointer.
The two sides went head-to-head with each other. Barkley and Smith on the commentary stage exclaimed again and again.
"A game that can definitely be called a classic. This game can definitely become a classic. Both teams showed a strong desire to win. I believe that all fans watching this game today will agree with this."
The moment he saw Middleton score a three-pointer, Barkley stood up from his seat and raised his hands.
He was not cheering for the Timberwolves, but he was purely excited because of the intensity of this game.
Although Smith on the side did not behave like Barkley, it could be seen from the flush on his face that this guy was also very excited at the moment.
It can be said that almost every fan watching this game felt their hormones soaring because of the confrontation between the two sides.
As the game time went by, the third quarter also came to an end.
But at this moment, something shocking happened on the field.
In the Warriors' offensive possession, Curry dribbled the ball just past the center circle this time. Shuhao Lin was blocked by David Lee who was walking back after serving the ball. Curry immediately noticed this situation and immediately took action.
He made an emergency stop and then directly collected the ball and shot a super long three-pointer.
The basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and then fell into the basket accurately.
A super long three-pointer made all the Warriors fans in the stands stand up and chant Curry's name.
Curry, who saw the basketball falling into the basket, made a surprising celebration at this time. He raised his right hand high and then swung it down hard towards the direction of the Timberwolves bench.
At this time, Da Zhuang was standing on the sidelines. This action was like a slap in the face. At least that was how the Warriors fans at the scene interpreted it. Of course, it was also interpreted this way in the minds of many people, especially the reporters at the scene.
Da Zhuang narrowed his eyes when he saw this action.
But the Timberwolves players on the court refused to agree. Middleton ran directly towards Curry, and then reached out to grab the opponent. Fortunately, the referee was nearby and separated the two of them.
Conflict is about to break out!
Suddenly the scene became chaotic, and the referees finally separated the two teams.
At this time, Da Zhuang couldn't care about it anymore, because the system actually gave a response at this time.
"Triggering a temporary event, the host was provoked. As the Chosen Son of the system, how can we tolerate such a thing happening? All five previously refreshed buffs are cancelled."
Then I discovered that a gray buff appeared there in the buff column of the system, and the previous two red and three white buffs were all gone.
Counterattack: The next attack of the host's team will hit a 100% long-range three-pointer. Please use the same method to respond to the opponent's provocation after scoring the goal. If the provocation completes the buff, it will be activated successfully.
Designate two players to increase their three-point shooting percentage by 30%, speed by 30%, and defensive ability by 50% during the next game.
Each successful defense can increase the hit rate of all players by 3%.
Each steal completed can increase the passing success rate of all players by 10%.
Each three-pointer made can increase the post player's blocking ability by 3%.
Is it that I can’t tolerate this fucking system, or you can’t tolerate it?
After some discussion, the referee on the court gave Curry a technical foul, and the Warriors fans in the stands also booed the referee when they saw this situation.
After Lin Shuhao made the free throw, Dazhuang also called a timeout.
Dazhuang also directly arranged the ultra-long three-point tactic that will be waited for later. When Middleton heard that Dazhuang arranged for him to execute it, he looked at Chen Dazhuang with bright eyes.
"Boss, if we get in later, should we do it in their way?"
"No, you are responsible for scoring goals, I will do this."
"Well, boss, that's a shame."
On the Timberwolves bench, which was originally tense, the tension disappeared a lot because of Middleton's words. This should be something Da Zhuang did not expect.
Soon the timeout ended, both sides returned to the court, and the game started again.
The Timberwolves had the ball right to attack, but the actions of the Timberwolves at this time made Curry and others feel a little uneasy. Lin Shuhao had just passed the midline, and Middleton moved directly and quickly towards Lin Shuhao.
As the two passed each other alternately, the basketball came into Middleton's hands.
The next scene shocked everyone at the scene. Middleton, who got the ball directly, did not hesitate at all. He jumped directly on the spot and shot. Curry, who was originally moving with Lin Shuhao, frowned and then turned towards his teammates.
He signaled to grab a rebound, but when the Warriors players tried to get stuck in the paint, the basketball fell into the basket very accurately.
This wasn't what shocked everyone. What was shocking was that when Middleton scored, Chen Dazhuang, who was standing on the sidelines, walked towards the direction of Curry on the court and did the same action as Curry just now.
Not only Curry saw this scene, but everyone present saw it.
