The way of the center

Chapter 806 Curry's step-back jumper
When the first quarter ended, Steve Kerr immediately realized that the Warriors now have exactly the same disadvantages as before when they lost to the Trail Blazers.

Inside, the Warriors' inside players have no way to stop An Jie.They couldn't do it even if it was just a little obstruction.

Drummond Green?Green is indeed an excellent all-round defender, but when he faces the world's top and purest center, Green's disadvantages will be infinitely magnified.

Too short height and too violent temper often make Green fail when defending Anjie.

In the past two years, the Warriors were not afraid of the Blazers, mainly because the Blazers had nothing but the inside.But now, the situation is completely different.When the opponent's perimeter defense and offensive capabilities have been greatly improved, the advantages Anjie brings to the Trail Blazers are limitless.

It is almost impossible to strangle An Jie with defense.Even if Draymond Green faced Anjie himself, he couldn't complete the defensive task.Cole's only way now is to use the characteristics of a small lineup-fast pace and three-pointers to drag the Blazers and Angie down.

Thinking about it, Cole walked towards Stephen Curry. "In the second quarter, let's fight against the Trail Blazers!" Steve Kerr waved his hand, if we want to fight, let's fight harder!

"Remember how we beat the Thunder? Collaboration! I want you to work closely together on offense! Ann, George, Morris, as long as you three are fully open offensively, other people's opportunities will follow! More pick-and-rolls, more passes! Let the Warriors see that they are not the only ones who have a lot of stars in this league!" Just as Ricard put down the tactical board, the buzzer sounded stand up.

The stands immediately became noisy and the fans were once again excited.The game they longed for is about to start again!
"Kill them, okay!?" Before An Jie went on stage, he suddenly felt someone tug on him.The No. 00 center turned his head and saw that it was Ricard.

After An Jie heard Ricard's words, he just nodded with a smile and stepped onto the field again.

Rickard stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, An Jie, hold on!
As soon as the second quarter started, Curry, who received the backcourt serve, rushed all the way into the offense.Anjie immediately realized that things were not that simple, and the Warriors raised the whole rhythm very quickly.

Not only was he fast, Curry just passed the basketball as soon as he stepped on the three-point line.The basketball moves fast, seemingly ready to tear apart the Blazers' defense.

Drummond Green received the ball from beyond the three-point line, and I have to admit that this guy's strategic significance is indeed huge.

Green can also score by pulling outside the three-point line, and it will also attract a defensive gate of the opponent.

Seeing Morris completely leave the basket, Green transferred the ball again.This time, the opportunity fell into the hands of Durant!

How strong Morris' defensive ability is, Durant knows very well in his heart.After all, this guy has been playing side by side with Morris in the Thunder, even longer than Anjie.

Guys as strong as Durant don't dare to directly attack the penalty area defended by Anjie and Morris.But if they are forced to transfer alone, Durant won't be flinching!

Seeing that An Jie wanted to defend the basket, Pachulia reached out behind his back and grabbed An Jie's jersey.

An Jie was caught so abruptly that he couldn't react.But this stubborn guy won't give up defense just yet. An Jie slapped Pachulia's arm off, and Yi rushed to the basket as quickly as possible.

Due to Pachulia's entanglement, Anjie has missed the best time to run.Now, he must do everything possible to prevent the Warriors from scoring.

Durant jumped high and stretched his long arms.An Jie jumped from the side at the same time, and immediately had physical contact with Durant in the air.

"This is the first duel between Kevin and An in this game! Let's see who will be the final winner of the two good brothers who were close to each other back then!"

Durant's body began to lose balance in the air, and the guy could barely make a shot.But he was stunned to rely on his long enough wingspan and enough soft touch to gently lift the basketball to the backboard.

The orange basketball and the backboard made a muffled sound after hitting the backboard, and then refracted into the net and successfully scored!

"It was a close shot! Kevin almost failed. The security of this ball was very timely and very tight. If Kevin lacked some luck, the result would be completely different now!" Durant's goal made the Warriors' coach and The fans breathed a sigh of relief, but Anjie's tight defense gave Ricard a little more confidence.

The Warriors' tactics are very subtle, and they can often find a lot of gaps and take advantage of them.For example, with the ball just now, if Green hadn't been able to pull out Morris to take away, Durant might not even have a chance to try his luck.

After scoring a thrilling goal, the battle between the two sides in the second quarter was officially on track.

Durant's goal greatly boosted the morale of the Warriors players, and Anjie's excellent defense also made the Blazers' morale high.

When two strong teams happen to both play very well, the excitement of this game must be self-evident.

Curry's three-pointer, Anjie's inside offense, George and Durant's battle of wits, Klay Thompson's composure
The Warriors and Trail Blazers brought the fans dazzling shots, and it also made Van Gundy unknowingly realize that the game had reached the fourth quarter!
"Too fast! I'm not talking about Curry's speed, but the time of this game! I feel like I've only watched the ball for a few minutes, and the game is already over! Neither the Trail Blazers nor the Warriors have substantial If they want to decide the outcome, they must act as soon as possible!" The wonderful process has created the anxious score of the two teams.

119 to 118, the Trail Blazers still hold a one-point lead thanks to Anjie's strong play at the basket just now. In 60 seconds, keep a one-point advantage.This is the final test for the Trail Blazers in this game!

The strength of the two sides is infinitely close, which also makes winning and losing often only a line between.Curry's possession of the ball is not as quick as before, and now, the No. 30 must be quieter than the defender.

Curry's control of the ball came unhurriedly, and the rest of the Warriors never stopped running.

Even if the game has reached the last minute, no one in the Warriors is lazy because of fatigue.

On the field, it seems that everyone in the Warriors will be the executor of this attack.Even Drummond Green was closely watched by An Jie, for fear that he would get any good opportunities.

The active running of the Warriors players made everyone think that Curry was going to pass the ball.However, when Curry controlled the ball to the three-point line fan, he suddenly changed direction to the left!
Napier didn't expect Curry to make such a sudden attack. Just when he was about to turn around and chase back, Napier saw Curry's cold face, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised.

"Damn it!" Napier yelled in his heart, and within a second, Curry, who was about to make a breakthrough, took a coherent and quick step back and got out of Napier's defensive range!
Napier didn't hesitate, and immediately rushed towards Curry with all his strength.It was quite possibly the most important defense of the game, and Napier didn't want to screw him up.

In addition to Napier, Iguodala, who has been ambushing around Curry, also stretched out his big hand to block Curry's sight.It is impossible for Rickard to only use Napier to defend Curry at this critical moment, he has long been prepared.

"Although Curry's retreat looks very beautiful, I have to say that this is not a good opportunity!" Seeing that Napier and Iguodala both sealed up, Jeff Van Gundy, a conservative The guy's first reaction was that Curry should turn his shot into a pass!

However, Curry himself is a marvel from beyond the arc.Even if it's an extremely difficult step-back jumper, even if there are two interferences in front of him.But this young guard No. 30, stunned to withstand all the unfavorable factors, and then made a quick shot to score the ball!

"Stephen Curry! A three-pointer! God, this is an incredible goal!" Reggie Miller suddenly stood up, also a legendary NBA shooter, but Miller himself had to admit that Curry's The three-pointer completely subverted people's cognition in the past.

Only 26 seconds left in the game!The Golden State Warriors lead by two points!Two points difference, this is the deadliest for the Blazers!Because Anjie, who has the greatest lore grasp in the Trail Blazers, is not a person who is good at ending games outside the three-point line.

"Timeout, timeout!" Ricard immediately called the last timeout in his hand. What does the last timeout mean?Means this is almost the last chance for the Trail Blazers!
There is no doubt that in the last 26 seconds, the Trail Blazers need to shoot a three-pointer to directly end everything.The Warriors, known for their shooting and holding a timeout, will hardly give the Blazers any chance of overtime if they play two points first and then use foul tactics.

On the bench, the players all nervously faced each other.Only An Jie, his expression remained calm.

"What should I do?" An Jie looked at Ricard and asked calmly.

Ricard looked at the long bench, Meyers Leonard, Aminu, Iguodala, Harkless, Turner, Courtney Lee, George and Napier.This group of people is the names of all the people who can shoot three-pointers in the Trail Blazers.

However, if the condition of "being able to shoot three-pointers at critical moments" is added, there will not be much left of the above names.

Courtney Lee, Iguodala and George, these three are Ricard's best choices!

Everyone's eyes fell on Ricard, and Ricard's mind frantically flashed countless tactical coordination.

"Calm down George, this is not the first time, this time is the same as before!" Ricard comforted himself in his heart, after that, he put down the small bench in his hand and sat in front of the players.

"Man, the Warriors' perimeter defense is very tight. It's not easy to beat them from the perimeter, so we need a crazy plan!" Ricard looked at the crowd and found that the players responded to him with confident expressions .

Fantastic, exactly what Ricard needed to see.He uncapped the marker pen, ready to make a big fuss on the tactical board.

"First of all, Ann. You will play a crucial role in the execution of this tactic!" Ricard's crazy plan has officially started!
