Chapter 292 The Desperate Rival

Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and sighed: "That's the only way! Unexpectedly, Li Du is more difficult to deal with than Kobe!"

The so-called second-step plan of the Suns was the most helpless choice they made when they really couldn't stop Li Du, let alone affect Li Du's offensive efficiency.

They decided to double-team Li Du, three if not two, so that Li Du could only pass the ball to others.At least the rest of the Warriors are much weaker than Li Du in terms of active offensive ability, and their shooting percentage is also much lower. It would be better for the rest of the Warriors to get wide open shots than to allow Li Du to freely choose whether to shoot or assist his teammates. Li Du and the Warriors are difficult for all teams to parry.

In the past, the Suns only made this kind of decision when facing Kobe and James. Double-teaming Kobe was very successful. That year, the Suns blocked the Lakers from the first round of the playoffs, and the effect of double-teaming James was not bad, but this First, it means that the Warriors will have one or even two players vacant, which is tantamount to admitting that the Suns' defense is completely helpless against Li Du, and no one is willing to admit it unless it is a last resort.

When the Suns made this decision, it also meant that they had already admitted in their hearts that Li Du's abilities were comparable to superstars such as Kobe and James. After watching this game, other teams in the NBA will also understand this point. Since then, the NBA has had one more person with the strength of a superstar!

After the timeout ended, the Suns still used Hill and Nash to organize their offense. They really had no choice but to choose between Hill and Stoudemire for their scoring points. As for Nash and Lopez, in Under the defense of Li Du and Yao Ming, there was no chance at all.

And when the Warriors were attacking, as soon as Li Du got the ball, the Suns would double-team, or even triple-team!The result of this is that Curry's offensive touch is completely opened up!
The Suns were surprised to find that they had voted for Curry, at least not weaker than Li Du outside the three-point line!In the last 2 minutes of the first half, Curry scored 3 three-pointers alone, and also made a layup, scoring 11 points. The Warriors led the Suns by 7 points!
At the end of the first half, looking at Li Du and Curry walking shoulder to shoulder and walking into the player tunnel, Nash sighed and felt a sense of powerlessness.

In this game, it cannot be said that they did not work hard. Even Li Du once praised that the two veterans, Nash and Hill, fought against the Warriors at the expense of their physical strength, regardless of the excessive physical exertion and the risk of injury. , Facing the Warriors, their hard work can only cause a little trouble. Once Li Du goes all out, all the strategies of the Suns lose their effect.

"This is a desperately strong opponent!" Nash sighed in his heart, and slowly walked into the player tunnel.

In the second half, the Suns insisted on double-teaming Li Du, while the Warriors were even more straightforward. They replaced Crawford in advance. In this way, in addition to Li Du, the Warriors had three outsiders!Curry's shooting ability has been recognized by everyone. Crawford is also a well-known scorer in the NBA. Garabel's active offensive ability is not strong, but his shooting percentage is not bad when he releases a wide open space. !

It only took the Warriors three quarters to widen the point difference to 20 points!The fourth quarter was completely reduced to garbage time.

In the end, the Warriors easily won the Suns 112-93 at home, leading 1-0.

Although they only won one game, according to the 7-4-[-] format of the series, the battle line is still very long, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Suns have nothing to do with the Warriors. If they can't think of limiting Li Du, The way to limit the Warriors' three-pointers, then the outcome of the Western Conference Finals has now been decided!

At the press conference, D'Antoni vowed to the reporters that the Suns didn't do a good enough defense today, and the Suns will definitely find a way to defend the Warriors in the next game and regain the victory.But the reporters don't care what he does, anyone will shout slogans, D'Antoni is just making superficial articles.

On the contrary, Nash was very honest when facing the reporter's question. He admitted that he could not break through Li Du's restrictions at all, and said something like this: "The Warriors with Li Du are a formidable opponent that makes people feel hopeless! "

despair!When this word came out of Nash's mouth, people immediately thought that when Li Du just entered the league, when he first met the Suns, Li Du once said that he wanted to make his opponents feel the taste of despair!At that time, Li Du was only restricting Nash on the defensive end. Unexpectedly, after four seasons, Li Du really made his opponents despair!
Li Du himself was still modest when facing the interview. He praised the Suns as a very strong team, Nash was a great team leader, and the Warriors' victory was not due to him alone, but to all The result of people's joint efforts.

This official answer did not satisfy the reporters, so Li Du focused on praising Curry, admiring that Curry is a future superstar, Curry has unlimited potential, and he will be a player who can change the way NBA games are played!
In this game, Curry made 9 of 7 three-pointers and scored a career-high 37 points. This kind of performance in the rookie season is very rare in the history of the NBA for so many years. Curry's boast is not nonsense.

After the game, many media commentators and stars mentioned that Li Du and Curry's three-pointers can change the game because they have the ability to shoot three-pointers with the ball!Among the previous stars, many people can also do this, but they are all unconventional shooting choices, and the shooting rate is not high, while Li Du and Curry completely regard the three-pointer after dribbling the opponent as a regular shooting choice , and the hit rate is very high!In this way, they make it impossible for the opponent to defend, and can only use man-to-man defense, and the distance between the defenders is widened, making it easier for the rest of the Warriors to cut and run.This is where Li Du and Curry are scary!

After dealing with the reporters, Li Du went back to the locker room and saw Yao Ming on the phone. After hanging up the phone, Yao Ming happily said to Li Du: "Xiao Du, the domestic fans are almost crazy, everyone is looking forward to us. Let's win the championship together! Your popularity in China is very high now, almost on an equal footing with Kobe!"

Li Du's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Brother Yao, you mean that my dream can start to come true?"

Yao Ming patted Li Du on the shoulder and said, "There's no rush for now, it's best to start after winning the championship. This will have the best effect!"

　I almost overslept at night, but fortunately I was able to catch up, and it was also served at the second watch.

　　Thanks again for your support~
