You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 905 Iron and Blood
"Wish, how do you evaluate the first half of the game?"

The reporter's microphone was raised in front of Wei Xia.

In the past half, the two sides played back and forth. The Warriors almost took away the game at the end of the second quarter, but when the 76ers let Rondo play, Wei Xia began to take over the offense.

51 is better than 44
There is still a 7-point gap between the two sides, but a 1 should have been added to the front of this number.

It was Wei Xia who stopped it.

半场25分7篮板3助攻，尤其是第二节单节15分，韦夏就是76人没有在上半场被打花的唯一原因。

"We made some mistakes. The Warriors are the best team I've ever seen. In front of them, we can't make too many mistakes." Wei Xia emphasized, "Especially our defense, just look at their shooting percentage. We don't do enough."

The reporter followed up and asked: "That is to say, you will increase your defensive strength in the second half?"

Wei Xia corrected him: "It is greatly improved."

Fighting against the Warriors is a proven path that will never work.

The 76ers have no intention of going down this road again.

The ups and downs of the first half reminded them that the Warriors must not be allowed to attack freely. They have too many offensive points, and the explosive power of scoring after the start is too fierce. Chasing three-pointers is really a terrible weapon. If you don't pay attention to the game, you may be taken away.

Control the pace of the game, the intensity, kill Curry, this is what they have to do.

As far as the first half goes, they didn't get any done.

"Come on, everyone, I believe you all know that the good show is about to begin!" Wright said loudly, "Don't be fooled by your opponent, stick to our established goals, and use defense to decide the outcome of the game!"

At the beginning of the second half, Wei Xia asked Curry to beat his misplacement.

The Warriors didn't pay much attention to the matchup at this point. In their view, whoever defends Wei Xia will be blown up. Even if Curry defends alone, they have no intention of flanking.

Obviously this group still doesn't know much about his scoring ability.

Wei Xia deliberately looked for Curry's physical confrontation. Others thought he wanted to make a foul, but in fact he just wanted to make Curry's offense and defense uncomfortable.

Curry was pushed away by his body, and the team's top strength statistics were helpless in the face of the huge gap in size.

Wei Xia turned around and shot a jumper.

46 is better than 51
"You let Stephen guard me alone, you are too bad a bodyguard." Wei Xia's trash talk pointed directly at Green, but he never looked at him when he spoke, "I strongly suggest that you trade him."

With the back of Wei Xia going away, Green gritted his teeth and roared: "That bastard Chinese guy!"

A crazy scene appeared.

The lineup of the 76ers is Rondo, Wecha, Robertson, Faried and Cousins.

Except for the obvious decrease in lateral movement speed after Rondo's injury, and Cousins' inability to defend against pick-and-rolls, the other three are elites who can defend against multiple positions.

They maximize the attributes of physical confrontation, athletic ability and switching opponents.

The pressure on Curry is unimaginable to his teammates.

Although he can let the screen get rid of Weixia's entanglement, Faried and Robertson's defense are also difficult for him.

But the first Warriors player who couldn't stand it was not Curry, who had suffered for a long time, but Drummond.

He was stuck to his lower limbs by Farid like a plaster, and he couldn't break free no matter how he moved.

The impatient Drummond actually pushed the man down.

A strong confrontational game does not mean that there are no rules, and a referee who likes off-ball contact does not mean that the players' hands can move unscrupulously.

Drummond couldn't figure it out, and he was called for a foul, wasting the Warriors' offensive opportunities in vain.

Green was even more angry, expressing strong dissatisfaction with Drummond's low-level mistakes: "This is why you are fucking better than Mark, but you are on the bench!"

Wei Xia was very surprised after reading it. If he remembered correctly, Green and Drummond were in the same class. They joined the Warriors at the same time, but their starting points were different.

Drummond is a lottery pick, and Tim Kawakami, the braggart guy, called him "the future escort for Stephen and John".

Green is the least favored by the NBA. He is a short insider, versatile, and a college student who can do everything. In the NBA, he is also synonymous with not doing anything well.

Students at the same level who have no competitive relationship tend to have the best relationship, provided that there is no competitive relationship.

Green and Drummond belong to a competitive relationship, especially the former came from behind and was reused by Cole, but Drummond was sent to the bench after Gasol joined the team. The treatment of the two is even more obvious.

At this time, Green sprayed on his peers, showing the Warriors' anxiety.

Over the past year, they have encountered very few tests.

In the Western Civil War, only the Thunder brought a little pressure. They suddenly encountered the unruly 76ers who gave up playing tactics and were purely reckless. Their state was ups and downs.

The 76ers began to rush in the direction of confrontation.

Defensive confrontation, offensive selective confrontation.

What if it was Curry?

Offense, defense, on the ball, off the ball, whatever it is, as long as this guy is on the court, he can't make him feel good for a second.

On the basis of letting Curry spend seconds like days, put the greatest pressure on Thompson.

The only exception is Wall.

The 76ers let go of his shots as much as possible. If he wants to play singles, he can only rely on help defense.

It would be nice for outside matchups to respond to his breakthroughs.

But breaking through is not a panacea, because speed also requires confrontation.

The 76ers' offense is as follows: Rondo calls the pick-and-roll, carries Wall forward, and when it's over, the ball passes to Hayward.

Hayward hit Thompson with his back, his strength, and subsequent choices made people feel that he was actually just trying to find a reasonable excuse for hitting Thompson.

Because he passes the ball very quickly.

Their offense seemed to be staggering and disorderly, and there was no way out. They went back and forth, and the ball was returned to Wei Xia.

Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand, but did not attack, and passed it to Cousins.

With 7 seconds left in the attack time, Cousins ​​roared, turned and faced the basket to dominate Drummond's low defense, and even dunked on his head to score points.

48 is better than 51
Reckless, rough, with no way of seeing the road.

The 76ers' offense is close to the original basketball. They don't even bother to call the pick-and-roll tactics. They try to make contact with the opponent one by one, pass if they can't play, and let others continue to play.

Obviously they can handle the ball simply, but they have to complicate it.

It seems that there are easier ways to score, but he has to choose the harder one.

These seemingly utterly wrong styles of play all have a basis.

While they complicate the problem, the opponent's defense must also become complicated;

They worked harder to get those two or three points, and their opponents also had to put in equal effort.

They firmly believe that to bring the game to that intensity, the Warriors are not their opponents.

Drummond seemed like an outsider on the floor, his game out of place.

Although the body can be used as a cover, it is not tight enough every time.

The Warriors' offense once again had problems with him.

His pick-and-roll made Wall's breakthrough into a tight siege.

The invincible John Wall passed the ball in a panic, and Wei Xia saw through the route two seconds earlier.

If you give your opponent two seconds to get ready to tackle your pass, you're basically gone.

The 76ers made another steal, and what happened to the Warriors reminded the fans of Oracle Arena of the 76ers at the end of the second quarter.

The offensive shortage caused by consecutive turnovers and consecutive failures is more suffocating than consecutive failures to make shots.

The anxious Warriors have more redundant actions.

Their style of play no longer has the elements of basketball aesthetics. The 76ers used brutal collisions to force the Warriors to get rid of their extravagant style of play and be as down-to-earth as a blue-collar worker.

That's a good thing, but they haven't learned how to maintain touch at the same intensity.

In other words, no one in the star-studded Warriors team can play a normal touch at this intensity.

Curry was blocked by Weixia's off-ball defense and couldn't see his teammate holding the ball. He just wanted to call a cover, but he was knocked down by the latter's ignorant confrontation.

The unanimous MVP yelled: "Kamang! Isn't this blowing?"

How did Curry know that this is not the only off-ball foul that has not been called?
Green pushed Faried down and was ignored;

Oubre elbowed Thompson and was ignored; Thompson elbowed back and was also ignored;
The Warriors' admirable passing and cutting, exquisite ball movement, ultimately reduced to mediocre singles.

The person in charge of singles is Wall.

His speed is slowed down by confrontation, and when he falls into a confrontational environment, he is no longer the all-powerful Flash.

Cousins ​​throws his hands up to upset his balance, and one of three referees who have ignored a dozen fouls finally blows his whistle.

Before Wall was happy, he "Wardfak" discovered that the referee was not calling Cousins' violation of the cylinder foul, but the double foul of fucking Green and Faried.

"The Warriors don't seem to have found a better way to crack the high-intensity, high-intensity confrontation of the 76ers."

"Yes, they look confused."

In the end, the Warriors' offense was handed over to Wall to try a three-pointer.

His three-pointers have improved a lot compared to the past, but if even Curry can't maintain his touch, how can he forcefully make them under the pressure of countless pressures and the pain of sore hands and feet?

"boom!"

The iron and blood of ancient basketball is reappearing in the 2016 finals. Everyone knows that the Warriors will not do well if they continue to play like this.
