Legend of Tomorrow

In the first quarter, the two sides competed in shooting. Guo Xu was responsible for organizing the ball. Roy, Thompson, and Ibaka moved to catch the ball.

For the Warriors, Luol Deng is responsible for organizing the ball. Curry, Redick, and Landry move to catch the ball and take shots. Their style of play completely imitates the Suns.

Thompson was the best player on both teams, making 5 of 7 shots and 4 of 6 three-pointers, scoring 14 points.

During the break, the TNT commentator joked about Redick's wingspan.

Barkley said: It is not a good idea to let Redick, who is 193cm tall and has a wingspan of 191cm, to guard Thompson. Thompson is seriously underestimated. He fell out of the lottery and was picked up by the Suns in the 2011 draft due to a marijuana incident. If he takes more shots, he can easily Cut down 20+.”

Smith said: I think Thompson will take more shots today. The Suns need him to take on more offensive responsibilities in the future. Guo Xu took very few shots today and helped create opportunities for his teammates.

Guo Xu played the entire quarter and made 1 of 2 shots during the counterattack. He passed Curry for a layup and scored 2 points and 5 assists.

The Warriors players took relatively average shots. Lopez, who scored the most points, scored 7 points. He scored a 2+1 on an air cut and allowed Gortat to commit two fouls.

Gortat is not a strong defensive player. His mobility prevents pick-and-rolls, and he suffers against heavy insiders. After Gasol left, the Suns were left with only two second-rate centers and rookie Ezeli, and their defense did drop a bit.

Everyone can see that the Warriors have become stronger. Their offense is smooth and even the Suns are not easy to defend. However, relying on excellent offense, the Suns still led 34 to 31.

The substitute battle in the second quarter was inextricable. The Warriors' five players, Farmar, Stevenson, Garcia, Scola, and Monroe, had a clear division of labor and were good at offense and defense.

Scola is the most important signing for the Warriors. He has a very stable mid-range shot and is suitable for pick-and-roll offense. He complements Monroe inside and outside. Both insiders also have the ability to support the pass and can find running teammates.

The Suns were the same as the previous two games, mainly relying on Thomas Jr. and Whiteside to play pick-and-rolls, defenders breaking through, cutting inside, and others pulling away to wait for opportunities to catch and shoot.

During halftime, Barkley commented on Warriors coach Mark Jackson, saying that he is a fan of D'Antoni. He must have written down all the Suns' tactics in his notebook when he was a commentator, and he imitates them well now.

In the second half, the two teams continued to work hard, relying on screens to create running opportunities to catch the ball and shoot. Except for the core, there were few singles.

Curry started to play in the third quarter,

If Guo Xu is slow to pursue the defense and does not stay close to him, it will be difficult to interfere with his shot. Curry hit three 3-pointers and scored 11 points and 1 assist in a single quarter.

Guo Xu also took more shots, hitting two three-pointers. He challenged Curry twice on the weak side and in the counterattack, and made two free throws due to a misplaced breakthrough. He scored 12 points and 3 assists and performed better.

The two sides could not open up the score, and the stalemate lasted until the last three minutes of the quarter, when the battle was tied at 111.

Both teams have blacksmiths. Roy and Luol Deng, two old Luo family members, are lost on the offensive end. They take fewer shots and spend more on passing and defense.

Butler, Richardson and others also couldn't find a shooting target to match up with the Warriors' substitute blue-collar swingman. Landry was guarded by Ibaka and only scored 4 points. In the final quarter, he was guarding the water dispenser on the sidelines. At the critical moment, the Warriors entered the interior twin towers.

D'Antoni called a timeout to adjust the lineup and sent Guo Xu and Kidd to partner on the outside. Thompson was at the small forward, and Ibaka and Gortat were on the inside.

When the score was deadlocked in the final quarter, D'Antoni never considered using Whiteside, the physically best inside man. He could fly and block shots, but his playing style was rough. He often faltered on the defensive end and was prone to mistakes on the offensive end.

With the ball in the sun, Kidd explained what having an old man in a family is like having a treasure. Although his physical fitness is not comparable to that of his peak years, his understanding of tactics is far better than that of young players, and he will not make mistakes at critical moments.

The Warriors double-teamed Guo Xu outside the three-point line and did not give him a chance to directly challenge Curry. Guo Xu only had to pass the ball to Kidd and then run. The Warriors' defensive end immediately became difficult to handle.

Kidd's outside containment ability is stronger than Payton, who took a salary cut to join the Suns and win the championship. He can shoot three-pointers. And his playing style is almost exactly the same as Payton. This kind of heavy point guard is suitable to partner with Guo Xu.

Guo Xu and Ibaka ran without the ball in the middle. Curry was slow to pursue the defense. Kidd passed the ball to Guo Xu at the perfect time. He caught the ball at 45 degrees and made an emergency stop jump shot with a time difference and scored on the board. 113 to 111.

He took a step inside the three-point line, and after being screened in the middle, it was difficult for Monroe to pounce too far outside, and Ibaka might make an air cut.

The Warriors' offense was also a cover and run tactic. The Suns switched defenses directly. Gortat stood outside to interfere with Redick's shooting. The latter passed the ball to Monroe, who was cutting in the air. The intention was too obvious. Kidd switched defenses and got around to get the ball. It just broke off.

An opportunity immediately appeared on the court. Kidd passed the ball to Guo Xu for a solo fast break.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball toward Curry and scored from the three-point line. He dribbled the ball under his crotch, collected the ball behind his back and changed direction. He succeeded in passing by and made a throw from the right. 115 to 111.

Curry relied on a screen run to receive a pass from Luol Deng and wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but was double-teamed by Thompson and Guo Xu. Curry took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball, and Luol Deng hit an open three-pointer in the middle. He made 0 of 4 shots from outside today, and the Suns dared to let him go.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed the ball to Kidd and then ran.

He caught up with Curry in the middle by covering the ball, and then he walked the baseline and ran to the right. Kidd passed the ball to Thompson at 70 degrees, who then transferred it to Guo Xu.

On the right, Guo Xu, Thompson and Gortat formed a triangle near the penalty area. This positioning will leave anyone open.

Although Curry worked hard to chase him out, Guo Xu got the opportunity to duel. He feinted and brought it to 45 degrees. He took a step back and made a fake move to the bottom line to pass Curry. He made an emergency stop jump shot from the bottom line. . 117 to 111.

Guo Xu hit three two-pointers in a row, completely disrupting the Warriors' offensive and defensive rhythm.

The Warriors attacked, and Luol Deng was left open on the outside again.

There is a substitute who can replace Roy when he feels bad. If Luol Deng goes off the court, the strength of other small forwards will be much worse, and both offense and defense will be affected.

Luol Deng didn't force a three-pointer, and he didn't make a mid-range shot when he got inside the three-point line. In recent years, he has not had the offensive right to hold the ball in the Warriors, and his mid-range shooting ability has deteriorated a bit. Last season, the queen shot 35.5% from two-point range and 12.5% ​​from mid-range.

He lobbed the ball to Monroe for a single. The latter was stronger than Ibaka. He drove to the basket and attracted Gortat to retreat and double-team. Then he separated. Lopez made a mid-range shot from the open right baseline. 117 to 113.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu ran to the left and received a pass from Kidd. This time he took the ball and passed Monroe in a different direction, and easily picked the basket with his left hand and scored. Curry was blocked for half a second and there was nothing he could do. As soon as Guo Xu accelerated, he couldn't catch up.

119 to 113, Guo Xu scored 8 points in a row.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: It seems that Guo Xu was holding back in the first three quarters, helping his teammates to perform. At the end of the game, he went up on his own before the score was even opened. Curry couldn't defend one-on-one.

Yu Jia said: The Warriors made a mistake in their substitutions. If Monroe and Lopez are played together, the pick-and-roll defense will be worse. I think it is better to try Luol Deng as a guest power forward to play small ball tactics. He can match up. Ibaka interferes with shots and has great mobility.

Unfortunately, Warriors coach Jackson didn't think so and continued to use the Twin Towers.

Curry was entangled by Guo Xu, Luol Deng passed the ball to the inside, Monroe singled out Ibaka and turned and shot missed. The rebound was grabbed by Gortat. Kidd was experienced in receiving the pass and slowed down the rhythm. , it’s time to kill time with positional warfare.

With 24 seconds almost gone, Guo Xu caught the ball on the left and attracted a double team to score the ball. Kidd hit a three-pointer with a jumper in the middle.

122 to 113, the Suns secured the victory...
