Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 77 77 [Rampage and runaway]

Then, when the Spurs' No. 35 penalty was successfully hit, the atmosphere on the court instantly became subtle.

Especially for the fanatical home fans, they never thought that the Spurs could play such a sharp and decisive offense in this situation.

"The Spurs No. 35 was too decisive. Obviously, the Warriors thought he would give the ball to Kawhi Leonard, but he chose to shoot instead. I have to admit, this is a bold but rewarding choice."

"For Kevin Durant, he was indeed set by China Jiang in the round just now. Not only did he score 4 points for China Jiang, but he also paid for a foul. He fouled and suddenly became the trouble with the most fouls in the game."

"It's true. If Popovich makes a fuss around this, it's not good news for the Warriors. Kevin is their offensive killer. If he has to suffer from the number of fouls If it is troublesome, it will be a huge blow to the Warriors' offense."

In this way, the atmosphere of the Oracle Arena has indeed become subtle.

Steve Kerr hesitated a little bit. Looking at the overall situation, he didn't want to request a timeout, because a timeout can indeed ease the opponent's offensive rhythm, but in turn may interrupt his own offensive rhythm.

So, after hesitating for a while, he turned around and sat on the bench.

But in fact, what happened was that immediately after the Warriors' offense, Klay Thompson made a mistake and was intercepted by Danny Green. Jiang Hao made another very decisive shot after holding the ball to the frontcourt. three-pointer.

Swish!
When this three-pointer was hit again, everyone knew that the situation on the field had changed dramatically.

Steve Kerr couldn't sit still anymore, and he immediately asked the referee for a timeout.

With a lead of 15 points, everyone thought that the Warriors were stable in this game, but they didn't expect that in less than 2 minutes after the start of the second quarter, the Spurs No. 35 instantly played a 7:0 offensive climax, quickly closing the gap. Narrowed down to 8 points.

Frankly speaking, the 8-point difference is no longer such an unattainable advantage when there are more than half of the game left.

"fuck! This is fucking crazy"

In the TNT live broadcast room, Sir Charles breathed out his mouth. He looked very excited and couldn't control his emotions and speech at all.

Barkley felt ridiculous at the moment, because just 2 minutes ago he had vowed that when the Warriors took a 15-point lead in the first quarter, the game seemed to be basically no suspense.

But what about now?
In just 2 minutes, the situation on the field changed drastically, and the suspense of the game returned.

"The defending champions seem to be still immersed in the joy of winning the championship last season. They seem to have never formalized their opponents from the beginning to the end. They have never officially recognized the threat of the Spurs No. 35. Steve Kerr's stubbornness will serve his players well. They fought for the benefits of early vacation”

Obviously, in Sir Charles' view, the drastic change in the game situation on the court is entirely the result of the Warriors' carelessness.

"Charles, please keep calm, maybe Steve Kerr did ask for a timeout immediately after China Jiang hit the first three-pointer, but this is not the first reason why they lost the advantage in an instant, everyone just saw it, China How unreasonable the two three-pointers Jiang hit just now seem to have surpassed those classic three-pointers by Stephen Curry."

"So, guys, I mean, it's like Salt Lake City played against Michael in the 90s. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how good you do on the defensive end, it won't help." O'Neal rarely analyzed seriously.

"I agree with Shaq's point of view, and I need to add that maybe China Jiang can't be compared with Michael, or even those real super giants, but it must be admitted that since this playoffs, he has entered a special mode , that is an unreasonable and unreasonable offensive rhythm.”

Kenny Smith took over the babble, what he meant was that, just like playing against the Rockets in the first game of the first round of the playoffs, Jiang Hao will indeed suddenly enter an unbelievable state, and the first game of this game That's how it looked in the second quarter.

"Why not? Boys, it's the truth"

Greg Popovich was indeed very excited at the moment, because Jiang Hao's two unreasonable three-pointers hit his heart directly, so he yelled crazily at all the Spurs players.

Just 2 minutes ago, he was still thinking that if he wanted to reverse the 15-point difference, then at this time, he needed a player similar to the Lakers No. 24 to stand up.

He originally pinned his hopes on Kawhi Leonard, because in his opinion, Kawhi has a chance to become a player like Kobe.

However, in just 2 minutes, Jiang Hao told him with a crazy performance that the real Kobe of the Spurs is him, and he has the ability to score consecutively at critical moments.

"It's not just Jiang. When any of you get a chance to make a move, then make a decisive move without hesitation."

Before going on the court, Popovich reiterated his tactical instructions again.

Kevin Durant's face was gloomy, and anyone familiar with him knew that "Reaper" might be coming.

That's right, Mr. Du couldn't be indifferent, after all, the 7-point lead that the team lost in an instant started from him.

He didn't want to guess whether the Spurs No. 35's three-pointer was stupid. At this moment, he just wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.

So he started.

After the game restarted, Durant hit a very difficult fadeaway jumper against Leonard.

Immediately afterwards, he blocked Aldridge on the defensive end, turned to a quick counterattack, broke through and dunked for a layup.

After a wave of 4:0, the Oracle Arena roared again.

Many people feel that the runaway KD is worthy of being the most powerful attacker in the post-Kobe era, and also worthy of being the most threatening superstar in this luxurious battleship today.

Especially when the point difference returned to 10+, the power of "Reaper" was further released.

Swish!
However, the Silver Gray Legion, which has seen the hope of reversal, cannot be frightened by Durant's rampage.

Kawhi Leonard, the former FMVP winner known as the "robot", also lost his temper.

When he forced a three-pointer against Durant, everyone immediately smelled a smell of gunpowder.

After all, today's Leonard is no longer the guy who can only impress people on the defensive end in 14. Maybe he is still not as good as Durant on the offensive end, but it is not much worse.

Especially for the home fans, until now, they can't forget the scene that happened in the first game of the Western Conference Finals last season.

The picture of Leonard's lone hero singled out the four giants they are proud of and led the Spurs to a 20+ lead is still vivid.

From this perspective, what they fear most is not No. 35 of the Spurs, but Leonard.

But that doesn't mean the Spurs' No. 35 threat no longer exists.

Because immediately on the defensive end, he helped LaMarcus Aldridge complete his revenge.

A merciless super hot pot almost stunned Drummond Green. Of course, the hot-tempered Drummond Green couldn't swallow it. He immediately turned around and made a retaliatory move towards Jiang Hao.

Green always likes to be on top, and it seems that the scene of being reversed by LeBron James in the 15-16 season did not stimulate him much.

After the referee blew his whistle, Green slapped a technical foul on his back, and the ball belonged to the Spurs.

The Spurs' No. 35 counterattack is still sharp. After helping Aldridge to complete his revenge just now, he helped Leonard complete the cross-season revenge in the next wave of offense.

After a devastating dunk, Zaza Pachulia collapsed under the basket like a lamb.

7 points!
The 12-point difference returned to 7 points in an instant.

The entire home fans felt extremely humiliated at the moment. The powerful army they were proud of seemed to be completely ravaged by their opponents, and it was still the kind of crushing ravages.

Steve Kerr's face turned pale, not only because of the brutal beating of the team during this period, but also because of the fear he felt after thinking about the result of this game.

That's right, the feeling of dread.

With the experience of the player era and the intuition as a head coach, Cole has predicted that this game will become extremely difficult in the future, because they have lost the best time to kill the game.

Especially for this game, his confidence in Cole is being shaken.

Because the terrible truth is that until now he still can't find a way to deal with No. 35 of the Spurs.

He studied under Popovich and stayed in the San Antonio Spurs. He wanted to emulate his mentor, but looking around, there was no player like Bruce Bowen in the team lineup. Draymond Green was not the kind of player who could compete with Bruce. Compared with players like Bowen, his defensive toughness is more often reflected on the bright side.

And just when Cole was at a loss, Leonard attacked again on the court. His three-pointer from the left corner directly narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points.

And this moment officially means that the two sides have returned to the same starting line in this game, because in the NBA, an unspoken rule is that as long as it is not the last moment of the game, a 5-point difference has the same effect as no point difference.

beep!
Steve Kerr didn't want to call a timeout, but he had to.

The atmosphere in the Oracle Arena became extremely dull, especially for the diehard fans of the Warriors, what happened just now was very unacceptable to them.

Because they have been emphasizing that when the Big Four of the Golden State Warriors regain their peak form, no team in the entire league can wrestle with them.

　Happy National Day!
