The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 221
During pre-match training, Pritchard made detailed arrangements for the Warriors. After all, the opponent was the unpredictable old Nelson, who could not be ignored. Make people hard to guard against.

In two positions, the Blazers are clearly dominant, Adelaide at the power forward position, and Xue Ding at the No. 2 position.

In terms of lineup, the Warriors' lineup is very strange. There are 7 guards, accounting for the first half of the team, which is simply overcrowded.

The starting double gun Curry, Ellis, bring a Murray, three guards, plus a scoring forward, if Toffer is a historical center, it will be a bit like a big and a small.

For Curry's defense, Pritchard's tactical arrangement is that Roy uses his rich experience to limit him. Ellis is fast, small, and the outside line is not very accurate. The small man rushes inside and faces Alder And Chandler, that's asking for trouble.

And Maggette, averaging 15 points per game, has excellent athletic ability, is good at shooting, and ranks first in the league in three-point shooting. Although his shots are not as abnormal as Curry, he will definitely not disappoint when he gets a chance.

So the heavy responsibility of defending Maggette was handed over to Xue Ding. The fiercest man should be the most accurate opponent.

But as far as the current effect is concerned, it is completely off track.

库里7投6中，三分球4投4中，已经拿下了14分。

Pritchard called a timeout to ease the opponent's momentum.

Roy goes off, Fernandez goes on, speed to speed.

The score was 12:20, with 3 minutes left, and the Blazers trailed by 8 points.

Xue Ding held the ball for half the court, watching Adelaide completely rely on Maggette, and he was a lot higher, and directly lobbed it to Adelaide.

Alder caught the ball and turned around for a jumper. Maggette tried his best to interfere, but it still played a role and hit the iron.

Ellis received the rebound and rushed to the front court quickly. Fernandez returned to the defense in time and did not give a fast break opportunity.

The backcourt personnel slapped horses and killed them, and instantly switched to positional warfare.

In the crowd, Curry continued to run without the ball in a figure-eight shape. His teammates picked and rolled in time, gathered and ran back, and quickly ran out of the open space.

Ellis hesitated for a moment, but passed the ball immediately, and Curry raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

Xue Ding felt a fighting spirit burning in him.

It's like seeing someone else playing something, it's very easy, and in terms of physical condition, this person is not as good as you at all, he is a man, and I will have the mood to try it too.

Xue Ding is like this now. Looking at Curry's relaxed and elegant three-pointer, Xue Ding, who has tried Curry's legendary scene, feels very itchy in his hands.

Xue Ding held the ball and quickly pushed it to the frontcourt. Curry continued to defend with harassment.

"Precise Shooting"

Xue Ding pulled up directly, and Curry also gave up blocking. His height and jumping were not at the same level.

A graceful arc, the familiar sound of "shua" entering the net.

Pritchard stood up and sat down again. Although Xue Ding didn't follow the tactics, it was the last word to score, so let's take a look first.

The score was 15:23, still 8 points behind.

Morrie dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Curry made a high position diagonally to the left for about three seconds, and a reverse run ran to the baseline on the right. All the people who were chasing along the way were blocked by teammates along the way, and the catcher went up and down. , Hit a three-pointer again.

The home fans cheered wildly, and the score continued to expand, reaching double digits, 15:26.
There were 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the first quarter. When Curry performed superbly, Pritchard replaced the main force and let the substitute come on.

Seeing this, Nelson also made the same substitution.

The two sides came off the bench and tied 2-2, ending the first quarter.

In the first quarter, Xue Dingjue was very aggrieved, and he didn't feel like he was playing at all. All the focus of both sides was attracted by Curry's outstanding performance. As the strongest point, there was no match at all.

As far as defense is concerned, the opponent has no defense at all, and it is enough to play the offense to the extreme, and in fact it did.

Offense is the best defense, which is one of Nelson's fundamental concepts.

"I'll guard Curry"

Xue Ding took the initiative to invite Ying, and the head coach agreed without hesitation, and Batum also showed a relaxed expression, as if relieved.

At the start of the second quarter, Xue Ding went straight to the field without further rest.

The main players of both sides continued to play.

Curry dribbled the ball to half court, Ellis crossed from 45 on the left to the low corner on the right, Morrie quickly ran from the high position on the right to the low corner on the left, and made a pick-and-roll with Maggette who came up.

Adelaide was delayed, Maggette received the ball from a high position and made a large two-pointer.

When Xue Ding defended him before, he never had a chance to show it.

Now it's finally time to wait.

Sensing the change in the Warriors' offensive strategy, Xue Ding signaled to his teammates to keep the original strategy.

When you are behind, you must score and you cannot respond, which is a dangerous thing.

The fans at home have added too much momentum, which can easily affect their mood.

After receiving the ball, Xue Ding advanced at a high speed. The Warriors had already made a return visit, but the people on his side hadn't followed.

Xue Ding accelerated one step at a time, and a small change came in between Curry and Morrie. Curry bent over and took out the ball, but it was too late, and the insider Tove made up. Xue Ding stopped suddenly and accelerated, and easily challenged Basket hit.

Scoring is the best response.

In the next draw, Morrie dribbled the ball across the court, Curry continued to run without the ball, and Xue Ding followed closely behind.

If there is anyone who knows Curry best in this round, it must be Xue Ding. Although it cannot be said that Curry's route is 100% predicted, but only [-]% is not a problem, plus height, arm length, The advantage of bouncing, two steps and the like can cause interference.

Curry obviously felt that he had the opportunity to run out of open space, and he had to play a lot. The most depressing thing was that Xue Ding wanted to know the routes and skills of some of his reverse runs and turn-back runs.

But Curry is still constantly changing the speed and route between them, trying his best to create opportunities for himself.

There are still 7 seconds left, and Curry has not yet run out of position, which affects the execution of tactics. Maggette quickly came out to catch the ball, turned around and made a jumper, but this time Adelaide followed and rushed over with his long arms outstretched. , almost covered.

Three non-stick, Chandler accepted the rebound.

Xue Ding pushed forward with the ball, and both sides retreated quickly. Adelaide raised the high position, and Maggette followed up, holding it firmly behind to prevent Adelaide from turning around.

Fernandez and Batum moved Murray and Ellis into the corners, respectively.

Xue Ding raised his hands, lobbed the ball to Ade, quickly made a left-handed feint, threw away Curry, and went straight in from the right.
