Chapter 176 Stop in the Western Conference Semifinals(2/2)
Curry thought that he was destined to lose if he continued to play like this. He thought that he might as well shoot wildly to see if he could get back the point difference, and then he boldly tried.
He dribbled the ball to a position half a meter away from the three-point line and directly took off to shoot.
Elementary school students believe that the Suns players can't defend in this position and their shooting percentage will be higher than if they stand against the defender outside the three-point line.
In fact, the final result was exactly what Curry expected, with his super-long three-pointer hitting the frame accurately.
This ultra-long three-pointer did not attract the attention of the Suns players, and they still implemented the offensive and defensive tactics they had formulated before.
Unexpectedly, the baby-face hit a super long three-pointer again, which immediately attracted the attention of the Suns.
But Curry has awakened, and the Suns can't find a way to stop Curry from scoring.
The next game time is Curry's performance time.
The primary school student bypassed Sun Yi's off-ball screen half a meter outside the three-point line, immediately jumped up and shot, and hit another long three-pointer.
Immediately after the Suns failed to attack, the Warriors launched a defensive counterattack. Curry came outside the three-point line and faced Nash's defense and rushed in to chase a three-pointer.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Suns head coach Gentry immediately requested a timeout, hoping to interrupt Curry's fiery touch.
It's a pity that his wishful thinking failed, and Curry still killed everyone.
Under the leadership of Curry, the Warriors instantly completed a 20-point reversal and took the lead.
Afterwards, the Warriors linked up internally and externally, with Curry containing the Suns' offense from the outside, while Sun Yi and others frantically attacked the Suns' basket.
In this way, the Warriors maintained their slim lead until the end.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Suns 128-124 and tied the total score at 2-2.
In this game, Curry scored a career high and won the honor of the best player of the game.
In the 42 minutes he played, he made 9 of 15 three-pointers and scored 37 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.
Sun Yi acted as a support and scored a triple-double of 17 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
For the Suns, the most outstanding player is Nash.
In the 40 minutes he played, he scored a double-double of 20 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal.
After defeating the Suns at home, all the Warriors players flew to Phoenix with high spirits to prepare for the upcoming battle at Tianwang Mountain.
…
On May 11, Game 5 of the series between the Warriors and Suns was held at America West Arena.
In this game, no Warriors player stepped forward to continue to act as the savior, and the outcome is predictable.
The Suns avoided long nights and tried their best to not give the Warriors any chance. They were indeed frightened by the previous game.
In the end, the Warriors lost to the Suns 101-110, trailing 2-3 with a total score.
Stoudemire won the Player of the Game honor in this game.
In 38 minutes on the court, he scored a double-double of 22 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.
For the Warriors, the best player is Ellis.
In the 40 minutes he played, he scored 29 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
Immediately afterwards, Game 6 of the series between the Warriors and the Suns was held at Oracle Arena.
Originally, most fans predicted before the game that the Warriors would counterattack with all their strength and drag the series into a tiebreaker.
But the Suns didn't give the Warriors any chance. They suppressed the Warriors throughout the whole process and guarded Sun Yi, Curry and others to prevent them from breaking out again and causing accidents.
Under the absolute strength of the Suns, the Warriors players could not make any splash and could only accept the fate of being eliminated.
In fact, it is unexpected that the Warriors can reach the second round of the playoffs. For them, this season is a successful ending.
In the end, the Suns defeated the Warriors 114-106, eliminated the Warriors with a total score of 4-2, and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
At this point, the Warriors have ended their journey this season and officially entered the offseason.
…
After the Warriors were eliminated, several other series were decided one after another.
During the series between the Lakers and Jazz.
Under the leadership of Kobe Bryant, the Lakers won consecutive games and swept the Jazz with a total score of 4-0, becoming the first to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
The outcome of the series between the Magic and the Hawks has already been determined.
The Magic swept the Hawks 4-0 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time.
Although the Magic easily swept their opponents to advance in both rounds of the series, there were conflicts within the team.
Howard felt that he was not reused in the previous two rounds of the series, so that he failed to produce good data, and had a conflict with head coach Van Gundy.
Van Gundy put the team's interests first and the core of the team had to make certain sacrifices as an excuse to prevaricate Howard.
But Howard became smarter and refused to follow this trick, and the conflict could not be resolved.
As the conflict deepens, it may break out in the next Eastern Conference finals.
The Cavaliers-Celtics series is much different than the Warriors-Suns series.
The Cavaliers won the third game of the series, taking a 2-1 lead with a total score and seeing hope of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.
But in the next series, the Cavaliers lost three games in a row and were eliminated by the Celtics with a total score of 4 to 2.
After this series, James understood something.
If you want to win the championship, you can't do it alone, you must have strong helpers around you.
After understanding this truth, his decision became firmer.
