Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 87

A few minutes later, as the players on both sides returned to the court, everyone felt the violent storm that was about to hit.

Because of the three or four quarters of the game that is about to start, the result is likely to determine who the championship of this season will be.

Why do you say that?

First of all, the Eastern Conference finals have come to an end. Not surprisingly, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James once again had the last laugh.

But a consensus is that almost everyone believes that no matter whether it is the Golden State Warriors or the San Antonio Spurs who successfully break through in the West, they will crush the Cavaliers to win the championship. On the one hand, the Cavaliers are really weak this year; very strong.

Secondly, if the Warriors win this game, it will leave a glimmer of hope for them to reverse the comeback, but if they lose the game again, the total score will be 0:3.

In the history of the NBA, no team has ever been able to stage a comeback after falling behind 0:3 in the playoffs.

Therefore, the result of this game is of great significance.

When the third quarter started, the head coaches of both sides chose to show their swords very directly.

Warriors, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Zaza Pachulia.

For the Spurs, Jiang Hao, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Paul Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge.

Although it looks like the starting lineup is exactly the same as the opening lineup, everyone knows that the two head coaches have chosen to face each other head-on. They have come up with the strongest starting lineups in their respective hands.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs were the first to attack. Jiang Hao was pressed by Klay Thompson when he just passed the midfield with the ball.

Jiang Hao was very decisive. He knew that Klay Thompson's defense was not just symbolic, so he handed it over to Leonard immediately.

It has to be admitted that the Warriors raised their defensive intensity to the top in the third quarter. Even Leonard was a little helpless after getting the ball. Durant, who was in charge of defending him, almost Covered all possible angles of his shot.

After Leonard observed Jiang Hao's position at the moment, he knew very well that the ball had to be opened from his point of view, because Jiang Hao and the others seemed to have no chance to catch the ball at all.

The frontal attack angle was basically completely covered, and Leonard immediately chose to attack from the side, that is, he took the initiative to lean on Durant with the ball sideways. In terms of physical fitness, he is not inferior to Durant, and in terms of height, he is also inferior. Not much, so he thinks this is the best way.

People have been discussing how "League No. 1" LeBron James' physical fitness is, but in fact, among the top five small forwards in the league, the physical fitness is second only to LeBron James. Germany.

After Fanhua leaned sideways to Durant, Durant instantly felt that he had hit a wall, and it was a moving wall, pushing him back step by step.

Draymond Green on the inside saw that Durant was about to be pushed to the basket by Leonard, and then quickly rushed over to interfere.

Leonard threw the ball to Aldridge in this gap, but unfortunately, Aldridge failed to make a shot.

The moment Aldridge shot, Zaza Pachulia stood directly under the basket. From God's perspective, Pachulia should be the guy who is the easiest to get the rebound.

The Warriors players actually think this way. For example, when Draymond Green saw that Aldridge's shot was obviously going to hit the basket, he didn't even rush to grab the rebound immediately because he felt that there was a par. Churiya will suffice.

But what surprised many people is that Pachulia did not grab the rebound in the end, and it was not Aldridge who grabbed the rebound, but Jiang Hao, who was still on the outside before.

That's right, it's Jiang Hao.

Frankly speaking, very few people noticed what happened just now, but what is presented to everyone now is that after Jiang Hao grabbed the rebound, he quickly assisted Leonard who leaped to the basket to complete the tomahawk dunk .

People exclaimed in amazement at the wonderful connection between the bayonet and the robot, but they also eagerly wanted to know how the bayonet grabbed that rebound just now through the playback on the large video screen.

The on-site director didn't make everyone wait too long, and soon the big screen gave a replay.

In the return shot, people can clearly see that the moment Leonard handed the ball to Aldridge, in fact, Jiang Hao, who was at the top of the arc, had already moved, but, He didn't swagger from the front of Draymond Green to the basket, but circled to the right and rushed from the baseline to the basket.

This?
People were a little moved, and everyone had to give a thumbs up for Bayonet's concentration. Obviously, Bayonet's rebounding action just now was not because he didn't believe in his teammate Aldridge's shooting, but he was just making full preparations.

God likes people who are prepared, so he tricked Draymond Green, grabbed the rebound before Zaza Pachulia, and finally assisted Leonard to complete the dunk.

The Warriors' offense, the Spurs also gave the highest intensity treatment on the defensive end, but Stephen Curry's dribbling skills are so good, even Jiang Hao, who showed his full strength, did not restrict him on the defensive end, and was forced by him. Hit a three-pointer.

Jiang Hao's expression was a little annoyed. He was blaming himself for taking too much defensive steps just now, and he couldn't keep up with Curry when he made a shooting action.

Danny Green may be that kind of "big heart player". In the regular season, even in the previous playoffs, his three-pointers were always unreliable, but in this extremely important game tonight, he The three-pointer became a very powerful scoring point for the Spurs. He hit 4 three-pointers in the first two quarters.

And now, after Stephen Curry just hit a three-pointer, he immediately helped the Spurs get back on the offensive end.

But this time, as an assist, veteran Pau Gasol basically used experience to show everyone why he was trusted by Popovich.

After witnessing the high-intensity defense Jiang Hao and Leonard faced when handling the ball in the last round, Pau Gasol chose to pull to the high position in this offensive round, after Jiang Hao reached the top of the arc with the ball He immediately chose to ask Jiang Hao for the ball.

This made the Warriors' defense a last resort and quickly extended outward, because they knew that Pau Gasol was capable of three-pointers.

However, the Warriors players were still a little slow to react. They did prevent Paul Gasol's shot, but they did not prevent Gasol's pass.

In particular, they ignore that Pau Gasol actually has a very good high-level support ability.

Gasol is using this trick now. After he got the ball, by virtue of his height advantage, he instantly caught the positions of the players on both sides. Then Danny Green, who is in the open position in the left corner Naturally, it did not escape his eyes.

In this case, of course he passed the ball to Danny Green without hesitation.

And Danny Green did not disappoint him, and made a steady shot.

But frankly speaking, at the moment when Danny Green took the ball, the Spurs fans felt a little nervous in their hearts, because how unreliable Danny Green was before this game, everyone's heart was full of emotions. Tested.

"This is the value of Pau Gasol, and this is Steve Kerr's helplessness. Perhaps the biggest difference between Zaza Pachulia and Andrew Bogut is this. I'm sure that if this series takes Zaza If Pachulia is replaced by Andre Bogut, the Spurs will never win the first two games so easily."

Charles Barkley mentioned the Warriors' former center Andrew Bogut, who was the original version of the Warriors' five dead players.

Compared with Zaza Pachulia, who can only stay at the basket, Andrew Bogut is actually the same as Pau Gasol. It is one of the key points that are so pleasing to the eye in the 14-15 season.

As a superstar, it is impossible for Kevin Durant to remain silent in such a critical game. After witnessing Danny Green's three-pointer, he turned around, faced Danny Green, defended, and hit a goal Take the three-pointer.

His shooting is so skillful. It can be seen that when he decides to go it alone, only Leonard in the Spurs can slightly restrict him. Other players, even Danny who is very good at defense Green couldn't do anything about him either.

However, at this time, some fans felt that Popovich could let the "essence of human creep" Kyle Anderson come up to try. His unique playing rhythm made Durant very uncomfortable in the second quarter of the game.

Judging from the first few rounds of the third quarter of the game between the players of both sides, it is obvious that everyone is in good condition. If you hit one, I immediately retaliate with one. people's expectations.

Unsurprisingly, this may be the rhythm of the game for the rest of the game. It is very likely that no one will know who the final winner will be until the moment the referee blows the end of the game.

.........

When Jiang Hao scored 25 points in this game tonight, the time of this game has come to the 8th minute and 21st second of the fourth quarter. He only scored the 25th point of the game, and at this time, he seemed to be very physically exhausted, and his right leg even had cramps a minute ago.

94: 95!

But at this time, the score of the two teams on the field was still very tight, just like what people predicted, no one knew who the final winner was until the last moment!
