Chapter 165 Warriors of Bull Slaughter(2/2)
After everything was ready, the referee threw the ball high into the air.
Randolph jumped up hard, hit the basketball first, and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first opportunity to attack.
After receiving the ball, Curry quickly dribbled forward and came to the frontcourt to organize the attack.
Kidd was well aware of Curry's shooting ability and quickly stepped forward to defend closely, not giving the elementary school student a chance to easily shoot.
Sun Yi quickly ran to the free throw line and set up a ball-free screen.
When Sun Yi and Curry attracted the defensive attention, Ellis quickly moved out of the way.
Curry had quick eyes and quick hands and passed the ball.
After receiving the pass, Xiao Gongju jumped up and shot.
The Mavericks rotated defense very quickly, and Marion quickly rushed over to interfere.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Under the basket, Haywood got stuck in position, grabbed the defensive rebound, and immediately found Kidd and passed it over.
Kidd received the pass, dribbled the ball forward in a leisurely manner, and at the same time directed his teammates' movements with gestures.
Nowitzki came to the mid-range area on the right, leaning on Sun Yi and reaching for the ball.
Having played against the Warriors several times in the regular season, Nowitzki has been able to overcome his psychological shadow when facing Sun Yi's defense.
Seeing this, Kidd immediately lobbed the ball over.
Nowitzki received the pass, lowered his shoulders and hit his back, then suddenly turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.
Sun Yi reacted immediately and quickly rushed to interfere, but Nowitzki's shooting point was too high and he was unable to block the shot.
A swish sound!
Hollow into the net!
0:2!
The audience burst into applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.
The ball transitions and the Warriors attack.
Curry dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, waved to the inside, and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.
Randolph quickly ran out and set up a pick-and-roll.
The elementary school student used the screen to get rid of Kidd's defense, quickly broke into the three-point line, and then accelerated past Haywood, who was changing defense, and rushed into the penalty area.
Nowitzki was taken outside the three-point line by Sun Yi and was unable to rush back to the penalty area to defend immediately.
Facing the unguarded basket, Curry easily scored a layup.
2:2!
It was the Mavericks' turn to attack, and Kidd came to the top of the arc to direct his teammates' movements and prepare to deal the cards.
Haywood came up and gave Marion an off-ball screen.
Marion bypassed the screen and ran towards the three-point line, received a prejudgmental pass from Kidd, and hit a three-pointer with his hands.
2:5!
Randolph picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline, served the ball, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
Curry received the pass and immediately started to advance towards the frontcourt as quickly as possible, starting a run-and-gun tactic.
The Mavericks studied the Warriors' tactics and immediately rushed back to defend.
Sun Yi, who was on a fast break, suddenly accelerated, got rid of Nowitzki who was chasing behind him, and quickly rushed towards the basket.
When Nowitzki saw Sun Yi's retreating figure, he muttered in a low voice: "This kid is so dishonest. He actually has reservations. This is another improvement!"
On the other side, Curry saw Sun Yi running out of opportunity, hit the ground and passed the ball.
Sun Yi, who was walking, received the pass, rushed to the basket and made a layup.
4:5!
"At the beginning, both sides got into the state quickly and played back and forth. Only this kind of game is worth watching." Barkley commented.
In the next few rounds, both sides increased their defensive intensity, causing the shooting percentage to drop.
On the Warriors bench, Nelson frowned when he saw the situation on the court. He was not very satisfied with the team's offense and sent Reggie Williams to increase the outside firepower.
After substitution adjustments, the Warriors attack.
Curry dribbled to outside the three-point line, passed the ball to Sun Yi, and then quickly ran without the ball.
Outside the three-point line on the right, Sun Yi received the pass, made a triple threat action, and took a probing step.
Nowitzki did not act rashly, observing Sun Yi's movements before making his next plan.
Seeing this, Sun Yi quickly retracted his probing foot and raised his hand as if to shoot. Seeing that Nowitzki still refused to falter, he pretended to throw the ball out.
Nowitzki didn't expect Sun Yi to be so decisive and failed to rush to interfere immediately.
Bang!
It's a pity that the ball failed to hit!
Under the basket, Haywood grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Kidd to dribble forward.
Kidd received the pass, took a dribble, saw his teammates running out of opportunities, and passed the ball to the frontcourt.
Stevenson, who was on the fast break, received the pass, quickly rushed towards the basket, flew for a layup and scored the ball.
Looking back, the Warriors attack.
Curry used Sun Yi's screen to get rid of Kidd's defense and directly shot a three-pointer.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
Immediately afterwards, the Mavericks made a passing error. Sun Yi suddenly came out to complete the steal and then quickly passed the ball out.
Curry, who was on a fast break, received the pass and quickly came to the three-point line. Without any hesitation, he jumped up and shot, and once again hit a chasing three-pointer.
After the Warriors scored this goal, they evened the point difference.
Chapter completed!
