You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 641
The Warriors, led by Curry and Wall, began to play their most typical offensive rounds.

Curry pulls to the sideline, and his three-point threat can provide Wall with the greatest breakthrough space.

The position under the basket is as empty as the road in the morning, not formed in the small ball era.In fact, when the Mavericks broke the curse that the shooting team could not win the championship in 2011, the Big Three of the Heat rebuilt an enhanced version of the one-star four-shooting structure. The three-pointer has become a weapon that changes the times, but it has not yet reached the point of full-blown explosion.

Everything needs to accumulate, and all the sudden outbreaks often come from the leads that have been buried for many years being snapped.

Any team with two shooters who can stand on the left and right sidelines can turn the opponent's penalty area into an early morning street.

If the inside line of the squat-type basket protection cannot be moved to a high position to delay the breakthrough momentum of the ball holder, its effect will undoubtedly be compromised.

Cousins ​​is an extreme. His defensive end is like JR Smith's offense. You never know whether he will give you a defense in the next second or a defense in hell.

Wall broke through and created a shot for Klay Thompson on the left sideline, and the ball was released.

Hayward, who was supposed to be facing Thompson, was attracted, gave the opponent an open space, scored a three-pointer and made a hit.

Cousins ​​played back in the low post, and he faced Andre Drummond. He hadn't learned other skills yet, but Cousins' flop just now got the essence.

With a mighty appearance that is not inferior to any super center, he even lay down immediately after Cousins ​​raised his elbow.

He didn't need a reminder at all.

"This kind of self-taught rookie is a real talent, right?" Curry asked.

Wei Xia asked with a smile: "Are you trying to say that DeMarcus is not a talent?"

They didn't talk for long, Cousins ​​contributed a big cap on the defensive end as a response to Curry, and then once again staged the center dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, making a change of direction and then taking a step-back jumper.

Times are constantly changing.

Witnessed Russell from 1962-1969, and Wei Xia who witnessed all the great centers from 1990 to 2010. It is impossible to imagine a seven-footer who can control the ball as freely as Cousins.

Times have indeed changed.

The non-hands-on rule indulges the ball holder, and the three-second defense and three-second defense respectively compress the role and value of the long man on both ends of the offense and defense. They must find their own way out.

Cousins ​​finished the offense like a guard and a small forward, and his jumper hit the rim a few times and went in.

After finishing the work, he looked at the female referee at the boundary: "Dedicated to you."

"No way?" Curry looked at Wei Xia in surprise, "You won't really convince DeMarcus that the lady likes him, will you?"

"No way?" Wei Xia imitated Curry's tone and asked back, "You don't really think that the referee and DeMarcus are different from each other, do you?"

Curry has been entangled by Weixia until half a minute before he was replaced, before he hit a Curry-style goal that fans are familiar with.

With a pick-and-roll on the outside, the 76ers decisively let the inside line go forward and delay.

Curry couldn’t break through, because Hollins, who was delayed in coming up, had fast footsteps and a bad shot—focus on it; Cousins ​​at the basket looked like he couldn’t use his brain, the defense was a threat, and he was clumsy.

Wei Xia didn't catch up for a while, and Hollins thought that Curry would break through, so he didn't keep up with him.

Suddenly, Curry got an open space, instantly put his hands together, raised the knife and dropped it, and shot a three-pointer from beyond the top of the arc-swoosh!

The Warriors at this time have already allowed people to see their future.

Two guards with very different styles, one needs to increase lethality, and the other needs to improve shooting.

Any one, as long as he fills in his shortcomings, he can grow into a different level of star.

In the first quarter, 29 to 28, the 76ers led by 1 point.

The offenses of both sides come and go, and the defensive end is in a state where no one can guard the other.

This is also the most common scene in the future.

Because of the general trend, all the league's revisions according to the rules are to encourage the offensive side to display their talents, suppress the defenders, make the game more smooth, and attract laymen to watch.But the end of this road is undoubtedly black. If any style is over-excited, it will attract the disgust of fans.

Just like the 1994 and 2005 Finals, like the era when small ball prevailed and the super giants at the Presidential Hill level withered.

In the second quarter, the Warriors did not let Curry or Wall stay on the court.

The Warriors located in Silicon Valley know better than anyone how to protect their assets. It is almost impossible for the Warriors to let him play for more than 40 minutes like Wei Xia's team.

No matter how good the physical strength is, if the playing time exceeds 36 minutes, the probability of injury will increase. The Warriors are still the most favorite running team in the league. The wear and tear on the lower limbs is very serious, and their playing time should be strictly controlled.

Therefore, fans can see the second quarter, the 76ers are led by Cousins, and the Warriors are almost the entire second team.

The biggest card in their lineup is David Lee.

Lee himself is also a tool-like figure in the Warriors. The ball is in the hands of the guard. He is a robot responsible for finishing, and occasionally gets the ball and hits a few low backs.In general, the Warriors don't like the inefficient, slow-paced and extremely risky offense of post-up.

Interestingly, two short backcourts were replaced and two other short backcourts played.

Backing up Curry and Wall at guards are starting killers Jarrett Jack and Charles Jenkins PG.

In addition to the two of them, there is another newcomer worthy of attention is Drummond Green, the second-round pick in the same class as Drummond.

He's a short wing with a lot of energy, and like Drummond, he is playing his first NBA game in his career.

Although it was only the first scene, he was a newcomer who left a lot of impressions on people.

The 76ers' second team is also interesting. In addition to Cousins, there is also Steve Nash, the team's oldest player.He was one of the best point guards in the league from 2004 to 2011.You know, there are only eight guards who have won two MVPs in history.It is definitely an unexpected decision and choice for Nash to join the 76ers in his later years.

He said he was in it for the money, but if he plays well in Los Angeles, he can undoubtedly get more commercial contracts.

When Nash first came, the Philadelphia media had two concerns about him. One was, "Nash needs to hold the ball, and Kobe won't give him the ball, so they will have conflicts?", and the other was, "Will Wish ruin Steve's MVP season, will it affect their relationship?".

The second point is certain that it will not happen. The competition between Wei Xia and Nash ended on the court and did not continue off the court.

If the first point, it will not happen.

Wei Xia's offensive end is in line with Kobe, but not in line with Kobe in the scoring champion period.He doesn't yearn for one person to do everything, and he doesn't like to beat the other four people by himself.

He likes to move quickly to catch the ball, get out of the gap with one or two moves, and shoot quickly.

Simple, yet precise.

In fact, Wei Xia has never partnered with a point guard above a level in his NBA career.

Any player who has won the scoring championship for several years and remains effective will only play better if he is paired with a pure point guard.

Point guards act in different styles, and what Nash did in the Suns from 2004 to 12 was less like Big O's merciless acrimony, Frazier's navigator, and Stockton's restrained and serious driving of each component, but more of a magician.

Both can get drunk from pregame warmups, make teammates dance halls, and organize benches like a rock band.

The acting talent and talent of Nash reminded Wei Xia repeatedly of the magician and the late "Pistol" Pete Maravich-especially Maravich, who are more similar in size and style of play.

In the first second of playing, Nash let the fans in the Bay Area see the immortal demeanor.

He relied on rhythm to break through Jack. Although he had no athletic ability to speak of, he mobilized Lee's defense in front of him, and sent a cannonball with one hand from the back that was so concealed that Cousins ​​​​almost didn't catch it.

Cousins ​​caught the smooth shot and let it explode inside the rim.

The goal was so wonderful that even the Warriors fans cheered again and again.

This is Nash.Like a magician, like a DJ in a nightclub, he can change the atmosphere of the entire team.It's a terrible contagion.

What Garnett did to the Celtics, what Duncan did to the Spurs for the past 15 years, but Nash is almost unique in this: The people who thrive by playing around him don't just get a few shots.

They're like going to the show and discovering the best part of themselves.A good partner, a good supporter, and a good musician will germinate the desire to be a good lover, a good joker, and a good singer from the heart. Nash is such a guy.

In him, you can see the epitome of everything good about point guards.

There is only one problem.

"He's almost 40 years old, right? He's still so good at playing!" Chuck Hayes, another veteran player in the 76ers lineup, said unwillingly, "God is really unfair."

That's right, Nash's age is one of the unstable factors for the 76ers.

Judging from the performance of Nash playing together in the second quarter, he still has the data of averaging 30 points and 10-7 assists in 8 minutes.

However, Nash, who partnered with Lu Wei, formed a double-short starter similar to the Warriors, and his defense was much worse than the opponent.

The 76ers, who can make achievements on the offensive end in almost every round, cannot prevent any attack from the opponent on the defensive end.

In less than half a quarter, 43 to 38, the Warriors went ahead by 5 points, and Doug Collins pressed the pause button on the game.
