Chapter 133 The Spurs Fight the Warriors (—)
The only problem for the Warriors this season is the center. Although there is Cousins, it is a pity that the Achilles tendon is injured, and the comeback is scheduled for January next year.The original McGee and Zaza went to Los Angeles and Detroit halfway, and the already weak center seemed even more stretched.

So the Warriors could only develop internally, so the three Warriors centers Bell, Jones, and Looney, who were jokingly called by fans, took turns to play, and Cole started the road to a center.

The starting center for today's game is Looney. His characteristic is that he is a jack-of-all-trades. He is 6-foot-10 and weighs 230 pounds. He is highly mobile and has a certain ability to cut air. Moreover, the starting center of the Warriors is just a decoration. Minutes is enough, and the fight is still based on death 5th, Durant topped the 5th position.

The game started quickly, Adelaide faced Rooney and steadily fought for the ball, DeRozan passed it to Murray and started the first attack.

Ade came out to pick and roll and received a pass from Murray, but it was a pity that the first shot was angry.

Looney took the rebound and gave it to Curry, and Murray had already posted it at this time. After all, Curry's three-point range is the whole game, and Murray's task today is very heavy.

After halftime, Curry dribbled the ball continuously, made a fake shot, and fired Murray, and then shot again, Alder took off the rebound.

It seems that both sides did not feel very good at the beginning.

Xiao Hang received the ball outside the left three-point line, and Durant had already defended it.

Durant developed his defensive ability in the Warriors... With a real height of at least 6 feet 10 and a pair of long arms, he averaged 1.9 blocks per game in the first half of last season, and 1.75 blocks at the end of the season. Qualified frame protectors will have explosive defense capabilities.

But the top defense is a little bit worse, after all, the long bamboo pole figure is there.

Xiao Hang naturally watched Durant's video, and now he is hesitating whether to jump or shoot, the chances of being blocked seem to be quite high.

Xiao Hang started it, took a tentative step with a heavy heart, shoulders swayed, took Durant's right hand, and accelerated half a body.

Take a big step forward with your right foot and turn around!
Turn backwards and jump really high!

The ball softly left Xiao Hang's fingers, "Shua—" the first ball of both sides was scored by Xiao Hang singles Durant.

He deserves to be the one who can score 49 points against James. Although it was just an ordinary round, Durant has basically recognized Xiao Hang. After all, Durant did not complete this feat in his first year as a rookie.

Curry dribbled the ball across half court and gave it directly to Durant. Durant was not as hot as Xiao Hang just thought. After a crotch dribble, he accelerated and caught a jumper.

Emmmmm, although Xiao Hang has kept up, Durant's take-off height is really fucking high. His own height plus long arms plus take-off height is half an inch higher than the release point of Xiao Hang's shot just now. How can he cover it? ?Durant hit back easily.

It seems that the small forwards of the two teams are in really good shape now.

The Spurs continued to learn and picked up the Rockets' routine of defending the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

The Warriors are people who have experienced it and are very familiar with it. This set of defense is the best three-pointer.

Curry faced Murray, a point guard whose defensive ability was a level worse than Paul's, and tried a few times.

Strong dribbling to open up space, quick shots, 3 for 1, it seems that the state is not particularly good.

And Thompson does not have the ability to make strong shots, he is running to create space, but today the Spurs are determined not to give such a chance, at least not in the first quarter when they are full of energy.

Thompson can only rely on a few lobs, made three shots and hit 2 goals, which is not bad.

And Durant didn't have a singles, and Curry was still in charge, and Durant also mainly played air cuts.

Many people say that the Warriors are an air-cut team wearing a three-point coat, but it is not the case. Three-pointers and air cuts serve each other.

When the opponent's air defense is dead, the space can be opened by three points, and the air cut can be made.

When the opponent is dead-defying a three-pointer, he can make a three-pointer by reducing the space through an air cut.

These two complement each other. They are actually very similar to the magic ball theory. It’s just that Cole has a developmental attitude towards CIC. He can shoot and score. CIC's efficiency is too low to waste mobile phone opportunities.

However, some of the Warriors really dare not let go of three-pointers, and the advantage of unlimited defenses is that they can not only control the three-point line but also control air cuts. The only thing that can be broken is the misplaced singles after the defense, but the Rockets continued. Set an example for other teams. After the Warriors produced singles due to dislocation, Durant has the highest singles efficiency, but the more Durant plays singles, the worse Curry plays. Curry is not in the rhythm, so This game will basically be taken away by the opponent. In the Western Conference Finals last year, the Rockets won the Warriors in the three games. After Durant played consecutive singles, Curry's efficiency will become very low. It is so low that it depends on the data. No one will believe that this is the ultra-poor data played by Curry.

The Spurs are now, Murray is 6-foot-5, DeRozan is 6-foot-7, Xiao Hang is 6-foot-8, Gay is 6-foot-8, the starting four and the Warriors' starting four are similar in size, unlimited defenses, and will not be changed because of the change The quality of defensive strength changes due to human beings. Of course, this is Popovich’s new research. Today I just use the Warriors to practice. After all, if the Warriors have achieved good results, the effect will be leveraged against other teams. .

The Spurs and Warriors quickly entered the first official timeout under the leadership of the [-]rd position on both sides. They played smoothly, and the coaches of both sides were unwilling to call first.

Here in the Spurs, Alder was replaced by Poeltl. He is younger, faster, and has better defense. Although Alder can score a little bit, but the physical consumption of infinite switching defenses is still a bit cumbersome. Yes, the others are still the original starters.

The warriors sacrificed their five dead children here.

Point guard Curry, shooting guard Thompson, small forward Iguodala, power forward Green, center Durant.

Popovich has already guessed here that the death five small meeting is here. After all, the offense is not going very well. In the first 5 minutes, the two sides drew 11 to 1. No matter how the Warriors score, the Spurs can keep up. On the defensive end , Gay faced Iguodala, Poeltl faced Green, and Xiao Hang continued to face Durant.

Of course, in addition to learning from the Rockets on the defensive end, the Spurs learned from another old rival of the Warriors, the Cavaliers, on the offensive end.

The Cavaliers playing the Warriors will forcibly displace Curry through pick-and-rolls. The game will often see James break through Curry, which is terrible.

The Spurs here are DeRozan and Curry, Xiao Hang also scored points to defend Durant, and Thompson DeRozan just needs to follow.

The timeout ended soon, and the battle between the Spurs and the Warriors officially began after this official timeout!
Neither the Spurs home fans nor the fans in the Goosexun live broadcast room expected that the first round after returning from the timeout would directly play the intensity of the playoffs.

Many fans in the live broadcast room of Goose News are lamenting that the Matthew effect in the West is too obvious, and it is really getting stronger and stronger. Unless the East passes another draft and has another player like James, otherwise the situation where the West is strong and the East is weak Can't change it.

The Spurs home audience are thinking, the regular season has just started, so how strong is it, is it really possible?There are still more than 60 games to play!
Popovich and Cole have their own ideas. After all, the Americans have always had a fine tradition of showing off their muscles in the air. The two strong teams play high-intensity games not only to win, but also to show off to other teams. By the way, check the opponent's bottom, after all, you can't cheat the opponent's A by playing 3, at least you should play Q or even K.
