The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 466 Fighting

After the big victory over the Celtics, James began to pretend after the game, "We can go to another level. As far as tonight is concerned, we still have many things we can do better."

Tyronn Lue put on the appearance of a famous coach, pretending to be modest, "You can't think about the finals yet. You know, the Eastern Conference finals are not over yet. As I said before, against the Celtics , you need to prepare the game before the game like a brand new team, I don't know what kind of new tactics they will run. At the same time, the Celtics defense has been greatly improved, they did not give us Leaving too many weaknesses."

“To me, the Celtics offense is more difficult to defend than the Warriors right now. They’re more versatile, everybody’s cutting and moving, everybody’s attacking the paint, everybody’s running the offense. Very good, but there is always a clear play, and Stevens sets up his team's offense with everyone moving fast and cutting, and all players are very dangerous."

However, the Celtics did show calm.

"I think the missed shots in two consecutive games on the offensive end hurt our defensive mentality." Stevens said that their missed shots controlled their play on the court.

Stevens also said that he told the Celtics players after the game that this loss must be let go, and they must focus on next Monday's game.At the same time, he also continued to say that fortunately, the point difference will not decide this series.

Bradley was more emotional when facing the interview, "The Cavaliers are as stable as a machine."

"'Shocked' is not the word I want to say, I want to say embarrassment, very embarrassed because we were beaten by them twice at home."

"In the next game we will prove ourselves with actions like men."

On May 5, the Spurs went to Golden State.

One win and one loss, they already know their opponents very clearly. Even in the away game, they can't lose again. In the confrontation between strong teams, winning can control the situation.

The Spurs' starting lineup was once again adjusted to one big and four small. If they didn't play with double insiders, it would be easy for the Warriors to take advantage of them on the offensive end. Popovich also chose to be cautious in the away game.

Although the Warriors' infinite inside cuts are very fucked, they will definitely make a fuss on the outside if they want to open up the situation.

Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard, Danny Green, the strongest blockers in the league, Cook, Leigh Thompson, Durant, the strongest outside firepower in the league, the battle of contradictions depends on who can have the last laugh.

Of course, both teams have other guarantees, and the lame will definitely not be able to make it to the present.

Throughout the playoffs, they have only suffered defeats at the hands of each other.

Back at home, the Warriors definitely want to establish an advantage in one fell swoop, but the Spurs started more fiercely.

Popovich wanted Aldridge to play more confidently, but the team's transformation into a major and a junior has already started from Zhang Xiaotian, and Zhang Xiaotian directly opened up.

After a few days of rest and adjustments in the practice room, Zhang Xiaotian was not afraid of physical problems at all.

Zhang Xiaotian attacked fiercely, and there was a three-point chance from the outside. In fact, Mills was a good match for Zhang Xiaotian as the starter, and Aldridge was much more relaxed waiting for the cake.

If his mind is not so firm, there is no need to attack the tough ones. It is good to do the third point quietly.

When he doesn't want to take on so many responsibilities, Aldridge will work harder.

The Warriors don't have a strong inside line, and Aldridge's efforts to defend the inside line are effective.

The Warriors also played smartly. The Spurs didn't go to the double inside line. They dangled a shot from the outside at the beginning, stuffed the ball into the inside line and stole a few.

However, the Spurs have never been afraid of "smart" play. They focused on the defensive end and relied on Zhang Xiaotian's strength on the offensive end to take the lead after half a quarter.

The key is that, playing against the Warriors, the Spurs' rotation will not hold back.

Ginobili played very well in this round. He can't play for a long time now, but after a flash of inspiration, he can give his opponent a headache. Even if he is old, the demon sword is still a demon sword.

The Warriors also saw that something was wrong. Since the second quarter, their strengths have strengthened their offense.

The Warriors have three ball-holding points, which correspond to different tactics. When Curry and Durant hold the ball, their personal offense is the priority, and when Draymond Green is holding the ball, the organization is the priority.

Now Draymond Green is holding the ball, and Curry, Klay Thompson and Durant are all in attack mode.

In this case, it depends on Draymond Green's touch.

It just so happens that Draymond Green feels better than most of the time, so their tactic is fully played.

The Spurs had problems again in the second quarter. All the advantages accumulated in the first quarter disappeared. At the last moment, David West, an insider who rarely shoots three-pointers, hit a three-pointer, allowing the Warriors to take the lead and enter the midfield rest.

There is no doubt that the Spurs' situation is still on offense, but it is much better than playing.

Zhang Xiaotian's strong performance prevented the team from being fooled by three-pointers.

It's just that it's really difficult to fight the Warriors outside.

Fortunately, the substitute lineup performed better than the opponent, and the outcome still depends on who can seize the opportunity better in the second half.

Because of offensive problems, the Warriors didn't give Iguodala too much time, but now they can only improve because of defense.

Now the Warriors are Iguodala and Durant taking turns. Zhang Xiaotian's pass is too dangerous, and the Warriors would rather let Leonard play with the ball.

The opponent is also puzzled in this regard. Zhang Xiaotian's passing vision is not as wide as that of James, but the passes converted into goals have surpassed James in the playoffs.

It's like feeling hot when receiving a pass from Zhang Xiaotian. No one knows that this kind of thinking is the truth.

In the third quarter, Durant and Curry stepped up their personal offense.

Playing singles after the pick-and-roll or playing directly with the ball, although many people will not believe it, their efficiency in singles is actually better than teamwork.

This is the strong MVP level, don't mention that basketball is for five people, they have the strength to break everything.

The Spurs are under a lot of pressure at this time. If the score is further stretched, Zhang Xiaotian is not sure that he will lead the team to chase back.

In defense, they tried to stand in front of Durant with Zhang Xiaotian or Leonard.

Even if it can't be completely restricted, it should consume as much opponent as possible.

Fortunately, Aldridge's touch has improved, and the Spurs are stepping up on the offensive end.

The Warriors still couldn't defend against Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, but Durant was terribly efficient at this time, and his long arms were too foul.

Popovich also put away the regular season set, and Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard almost played on top of it.

In the third game of the Western Conference Finals, it was time to desperately.
