NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

"The young Los Angeles Clippers have become a strong rival for the Golden State Warriors on their road to defending their title!"

"Listen to the thunderous roar from the scene!"

"This is the highest level of treatment Warriors fans can give to the Clippers!"

Auckland, USA

Oracle Arena!

Smith, who was on the TNT commentary stand on the sidelines, raised his voice while speaking!

If the volume wasn't turned up, the noise inside the Oracle Arena would have drowned out their voices!

"Before today, the defending champion Golden State Warriors were already trailing the Los Angeles Clippers 0:2 in the series."

"Whether they can win their first game of the series today may determine the direction of this round of the series."

"It is worth mentioning that Kevin Durant, who has missed four consecutive games, will make his comeback in this game!"

Smith said a lot in the commentary booth, and it was still the same old stuff.

"The counterattack has officially begun!"

Durant, who was interviewed by the media before the game, seemed unusually excited: "The team lost the first two games because I didn't return!"

"Of course, the Los Angeles Clippers are really strong, but they are no match for us!"

Durant's return has indeed inspired the entire Warriors team.

But for the Los Angeles Clippers, they don't really care.

there is always a solution to a problem!

Compared to his return, the atmosphere at the Warriors' home court before the game actually deeply shocked Ye Huan.

The entire Oracle Arena is a golden ocean as far as the eye can see.

It has to be said that the atmosphere of Oracle Arena is far from comparable to that of the current Chase Center.

Soon the pre-match warm-up for both sides ended quickly.

"The Golden State Warriors chose to change their lineup in this game!"

After seeing the Warriors' starting lineup, Smith in the commentary booth said: "Durant, who has returned from injury, replaced Dekumar Cousins, who performed poorly in the first two games!"

"Cousins' performance in the first two games was absolutely disastrous!"

O'Neal on the side took over the conversation and said: "Coach Kerr directly put out a five-small lineup at the beginning of the game. It seems that they have a strong desire to win the game today!"

Brother, if you don’t want to win the game anymore, it will be 3:0!

What on earth are you talking about?

Looking at O'Neal who was talking for a while, Smith laughed in his heart.

Even though the Warriors directly put out the death lineup in the opening stage, Rivers did not change the formation on the Clippers side.

The starting lineup still continues the lineup of Beverley + Anthony + Jeff Green + Lopez and Ye Huan.

The centers of both sides stood on the midline, and the referee threw the ball high!

Amid the cheers of Warriors fans, Draymond Green defeated Lopez and was the first to pass the ball to Curry.

The Golden State Warriors got the offensive ball on the first attack of the game!

Curry dribbled across half court and found Durant, who had just returned from injury, outside the left three-point line.

"Oh!"

Durant received the ball and faced Jeff Green's defense, and made a mid-range jump shot after a series of drastic changes!

"Shh!"

Even though Jeff Green tried very hard to defend, Durant's pull-up shot was too high for him to catch up with, and he could only watch the basketball fall into the net!

2: 0!

The Golden State Warriors, playing at home, were the first to score!

"Wonderful move, Kevin Durant scored the Warriors' first goal of the game!"

"We can feel that Durant, who has returned from injury, is in very good condition!"

"This is what the entire Warrior Nation wants to see!"

Offensive and defensive transition, Clippers attack!

Lopez passed the ball to Ye Huan from the baseline.

As soon as Ye Huan got the ball, the Warriors fans at the scene burst into an uproar.

the reason is simple!

At the beginning of the game, Andre Iguodala was already in the opponent's half, defending Ye Huan in advance!

From the beginning of the game, the Golden State Warriors used the common tactics in the final decisive moments - full-court press!

After dribbling the ball across half court, Ye Huan just landed outside the three-point line, and Klay Thompson on his other side was gradually approaching him!

"The Golden State Warriors changed their strategy on defense!"

"In addition to forcing Ye Huan at the start of the game, they also double-teamed him when he crossed half court with the ball!"

"And it's the Finals level of intensity with Thompson and Iguodala!"

Looking at the history of the NBA, perhaps only LeBron James has received such treatment.

Fortunately, facing the high-pressure defense of the two players, Ye Huan dribbled the ball, forcibly tore through the defense line, and made a layup.

Although he scored two points, Ye Huan felt a little pressure.

This is a pressure that I have never experienced before.

He could feel that the Golden State Warriors treated Game 3 at home as Game of the Finals.

The strength on the defensive end is really extraordinary!

Offensive and defensive conversion

Warriors Offensive Round

Durant continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc and faced Jeff Green's defense. Green and Curry both stepped forward to screen and roll.

After the pick-and-roll, the Clippers completed the switch, and the defender standing in front of Durant was Beverly.

Even though Beverly's biting defense made Durant very uncomfortable.

But there is a clear gap in their dynamic talents.

Continuous mid-range stick pull-up after hip-diving!

Hit again!

Looking back, as soon as Beverly received the ball from the baseline, Curry quickly got close to him and gave him a full physical confrontation.

The changes the Warriors made on both offense and defense today were completely different from the first two games of the series.

For example, in this game just now, Stephen Curry was guarding Beverley the entire time???

Is this really not a joke?

On the offensive end, the Warriors' outside Tsunami brothers were looking for the weakest link in the Clippers' defense.

In other words, today's Warriors tactics:

On the defensive end, strengthen your defense and double-team Ye Huan!

On the offensive end, there are Curry, Thompson and Durant on the outside. No matter who gets the ball and plays one-on-one, they will play against Lopez!

But Ye Huan was facing more than just a triple team!

After his teammates failed to open up the situation, even Draymond Green went online, ready to double-team Ye Huan at any time!

"The Golden State Warriors double-teamed Ye Huan. Why does this defensive arrangement feel so familiar to me?"

After watching the first quarter, Smith on the sidelines suddenly had an idea:

"I see, the Warriors used the Jordan Rule against the Clippers!"

"No, no, no, it shouldn't be called Jordan's Law now, but Ye Huan's Law!"

They targeted Ye Huan madly, and when they couldn't defend themselves, they targeted Ye Huan's teammates madly.

Look at the Clippers' starting lineup.

Apart from Ye Huan, only Anthony has some ability to attack independently.

But Anthony had to face Durant and Green in turn on defense, so it was difficult for him to make any progress on offense.

"Ye Huan's Rule" seems to be the best solution to defeat the Clippers with the current lineup!
