The older superstars of the NBA
Chapter 961 Opening Battle 2
Andrew Wiggins' harsh words against LeBron James were so exciting that even he couldn't help but cheer for himself.
His verbal attack also allowed LeBron, who had always been calm before, to finally break his defense.
When the ball passed half court, LeBron took the initiative to ask Stephen Curry for the ball. Curry didn't intend to pass the ball, but seeing LeBron's unhappy look, Curry still gave the ball to LeBron.
After getting the ball, LeBron held the ball and hit Wiggins alone. The two faced each other. LeBron shook one after another and then suddenly pulled away and shot a three-pointer.
Wiggins tried his best to interfere, but still couldn't block LeBron's shot.
However, the three-pointer thrown by LeBron failed to score, and the basketball hit the rim and bounced out.
boom.
The rebound fell.
JaVale McGee and Andre Drummond under the basket jumped up at the same time to fight for the rebound. Bang, someone slapped them in the chaos and the basketball fell out.
This time it was Adrian Ennis who went up to pick up the basketball first.
After getting the ball, he threw a long pass to Zach LaVine on the outside. LaVine rushed towards the half court with Curry chasing after him.
LaVine rushed all the way to the basket, and when he jumped to take a shot, Curry interfered. He interfered and smashed the ball onto the backboard.
The bounced rebound fell into the hands of Zhao Feiyang, who followed up. Zhao Feiyang resisted the interference of Klay Thompson and easily put the ball into the basket with a two-handed back dunk.
boom.
The ball went in.
There was a round of applause.
The Golden State Warriors are on offense again.
This time Curry continued to hold the ball, and after halftime he organized the attack at the top of the arc. After seeing that everyone else was not in a good position, Curry suddenly raised the basketball and threw the ball himself at the top of the arc.
Swish.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Curry's three-pointer helped the Warriors score 3 points.
The Knicks continued to serve.
After halftime, LaVine made gestures with Adrian inside. Adrian suddenly raised a high screen, and LaVine took advantage of the situation to dribble the ball into the basket.
Drummond also helped him block McGee behind him at this time, and LaVine only encountered Draymond Green's replacement at the basket.
boom.
LaVine's layup failed and the basketball hit the rim.
Drummond and Drummond under the basket jumped up to grab the rebound at the same time, and this time McGee got the ball. But just when he was about to throw a long pass to Curry outside the three-point line, Zhao Feiyang suddenly came out from halfway and intercepted the pass with a slap.
Snapped.
Zhao Feiyang, who stole the ball, accelerated his sprint. Faced with Curry's interference, he quickly dribbled away from the opponent with his behind his back.
When he rushed to the basket, he threw a ground-breaking pass to LaVine who was following behind him. At the same time, he also helped LaVine block Klay Thompson who was chasing after him.
LaVine caught the ball and took off.
Just as he was about to put the ball into the basket, no one expected that this time he would encounter a block from behind, having never had any problems with the ball in the past.
LeBron didn't know when he appeared. He jumped up behind LaVine like a ghost. When LaVine was completely unprepared, he aimed for a dunk with a big block.
Snapped.
The basketball was slapped onto the backboard by LeBron.
The whole audience exclaimed.
Although many people have seen LeBron's chasing shot, it is obviously difficult for fans to accept this scene happening in the Warriors.
In the past, the Warriors could not find such a powerful forward player, and the situation of chasing blocks in this situation did not exist at all! Now, LeBron is here, and everything seems to be changing quietly.
The rebound was taken away by the Warriors.
This time Curry gave the ball to LeBron, and LeBron carried the ball across half court himself. When he reached the three-point line, he accelerated and ran towards the basket.
Wiggins, who was trying to interfere with him, couldn't stop LeBron at all, and could only watch in a hurry as LeBron dunked the ball in.
boom.
LeBron helped the Warriors score 2 points.
The game continued, and during the rest of the first quarter, the battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, with basically no time to breathe.
LeBron's value as a superstar is also reflected through some of his fast break performances, especially when he accelerates with the ball. If he rushes through half the court and dominates, it will be difficult for the Knicks to withstand it.
However, his touch was not very good in the first quarter.
Maybe Wiggins' taunting played a role, or maybe the boos from the fans affected his mentality. All in all, LeBron's performance in this quarter was quite satisfactory.
Moreover, the Warriors also exposed a very important issue, that is, how to distribute the ball.
There is no doubt that both Curry and LeBron need enough ball rights.
It's not just about tactical status, it's also about their own star value. If someone needs to make a sacrifice for the ball, then who should make the sacrifice?
Such a question has no answer for the current Warriors. Therefore, in terms of tacit understanding, the Warriors' performance is obviously not as good as the Knicks.
Looking back at the Knicks, the team's cooperation has become more and more tacit. Sometimes they can understand each other with just a look, without any unnecessary movements.
call out.
The first quarter of the game is officially over.
The score between the two sides was 30 to 34, with the Knicks leading the Warriors by 4 points.
Soon came the second quarter.
Both sides began to replace the substitute lineup.
However, what surprised the Knicks was that the Warriors actually replaced LeBron. Not only that, the lineup arrangement made by coach Steve Kerr is also completely built around LeBron.
From point guard to inside, LeBron is basically the main player.
This forced the Knicks to make adjustments, and both LaVine and Derrick Rose were sent to the court to continue the campaign.
The two sides soon started fighting.
Without Curry and Thompson, LeBron almost had all the Warriors' ball rights in his own hands.
He began to increase his singles shots, and also began to look for opportunities to throw three-pointers, and even rushed to the basket to find opportunities to post up.
In short, LeBron tried many methods, and these methods were very effective. With no one restricting him, LeBron fully supported the Warriors in the second quarter.
Compared with the Warriors, the Knicks' lineup seems a little chaotic.
The distribution of ball rights between Rose and LaVine must be paid attention to, and the tacit understanding between Dwight Howard and Tristan Thompson in the paint is not enough.
The most surprising thing is that whether it is Howard or Tristan, these two people seem to have some thoughts of lying flat during the game. When they are supposed to defend, they show no desire to defend at all, and just stand there and wait. The opponent takes action.
Such a style of play naturally caused the Knicks to gradually fall behind.
By the end of the first half, the Warriors not only recovered from their previous deficit, but also overtook the Knicks to open the point difference to 7 points.
