The Way of the Center - Chapter 830

When the first quarter ended, Steve Kerr immediately realized that the Warriors now have the same disadvantages as they did when they lost to the Trail Blazers.

Inside, the Warriors’ inside players simply can’t stop Anjie. They can’t do it even if it’s only a slight obstruction.

Drummond Green? Green is indeed an excellent all-around defender, but when he faces the world’s top and purest center forward, Green’s disadvantages will also be infinitely magnified.

Too short height and too violent temper often make Green fail when defending An Jie.

In the previous two years, the Warriors were not afraid of the Trail Blazers, mainly because the Trail Blazers had nothing but the inside. But now, the situation is completely different. With the opponent’s perimeter defense and offensive capabilities greatly improved, the advantages that Anjie brings to the Trail Blazers are limitless.

It is almost impossible to strangle An Jie defensively. Even if Drummond Green personally confronts Angel, he can’t complete the defensive task. Kerr’s only way now is to use the fast-paced and three-pointers characteristic of a small lineup to drag the Trail Blazers and Anjie down.

Thinking about it, Cole walked towards Stephen Curry. “In the second quarter, let’s fight the Blazers!” Steve Kerr waved his hand. If you want to fight, let us fight harder!

“Remember how we defeated the Thunder? Cooperation! I want you to work closely together on the offensive end! Ann, George, and Morris, as long as the three of you are fully open on the offensive end, opportunities for others will follow! More pick-and-rolls, more passes! Let the Warriors guys see that in this league, it’s not just them who have a bunch of stars!” As soon as Ricard put down the tactical board, the buzzer sounded at the scene. stand up.

The stands immediately became noisy, and the fans became excited again. The game they longed for is about to start again!

“Break them down, okay!?” Before An Jie went on the court, he suddenly felt that someone was pulling himself. The No. 00 center turned his head and saw Ricard.

After Anjie heard Ricard’s words, he just smiled and nodded before stepping into the court again.

Ricard stood on the sidelines with his arms around his chest, Anjie, do not stand it!

As soon as the second quarter started, Curry, who received the backcourt serve, rushed all the way into the offense. An Jie immediately realized that things are not that simple, and the Warriors will raise the rhythm very quickly.

It’s not just about pushing fast, Curry passed the basketball as soon as he stepped on the three-point line. The basketball moves quickly, seemingly ready to gradually tear apart the Blazers’ defense.

Drummond Green received the ball from the three-point line, and I have to admit that this guy’s strategic significance is indeed huge.

Green can also score from outside the three-point line, and will also attract a defensive gate from the opposing team.

Seeing Morris completely left the basket, Green transferred the ball again. This time, the opportunity fell to Durant’s hands!

Durant knows how strong Morris’s defensive ability is. After all, this guy has been playing alongside Morris in the Thunder, even longer than Anjie.

A guy as strong as Durant didn’t dare to directly attack the penalty area defended by Anjie and Morris. But if they were forced to adjust alone, Durant would not cringe!

Seeing Anjie wanted to make up for the basket, Pachulia reached out to grab Anjie’s jersey directly from behind.

An Jie was caught so suddenly that he couldn’t react. But this stubborn guy wouldn’t give up defense. An Jie slapped Pachulia’s arm, and Yi rushed to the basket as quickly as possible.

Due to Pachulia’s entanglement, Anjie has missed the best time to run. He must now do everything possible to prevent the Warriors from scoring.

Durant leaped high and straightened his long arms. An Jie jumped from the side at the same time, and immediately had physical contact with Durant in the air.

“This is the first duel between Kevin and Ann in this game! Let us see, who will be the final winner of the two good brothers who were intimate back then!”

Durant’s body began to lose balance in the air, and this guy was almost unable to make a shot. But he was stunned, relying on his long enough arm span and enough soft hand to lift the basketball to the backboard gently.

After the orange basketball collided with the backboard, there was a muffled noise, which was refracted into the net and successfully scored!

“It’s close! Kevin almost failed. The goal was secured very timely and tightly. If Kevin lacks some luck, the result will be very different now!” Durant’s goal made the Warriors coach and The fans breathed a sigh of relief, but Anjie’s tight defense gave Ricard a little more confidence.

The Warriors’ tactics are very sophisticated, they can often find a lot of gaps and use them. For example, for the ball just now, if Green could not pull out Morris away, Durant might not even have a chance to try his luck.

After scoring a thrilling goal, the two sides’ battle in the second quarter was officially on track.

Durant’s goal greatly boosted the morale of the Warriors, and Anjie’s brilliant defense also made the Trailblazers morale high.

When the two powerful teams happened to play very well, the excitement of this game must be self-evident.

Curry’s three-pointers, Anjie’s inside offense, George and Durant’s wits and courage, Klay Thompson’s composure…

The Warriors and Trail Blazers gave the fans that dazzling and wonderful shots, and it was also unknowingly that Van Gundy realized that the game had reached the fourth quarter!

“It’s too fast! I’m not talking about Curry’s speed, but the time of this game! I feel like I have just watched the ball within a few minutes, and the game is about to end! The Trail Blazers and Warriors have no substance. To take the lead, if they want to tell the victory or defeat, they must do it as soon as possible!” The wonderful process has created the current anxious score between the two teams.

119 to 118, the Trail Blazers still held a one-point lead with An Jie’s strong play just now at the basket. 60 seconds to keep one point advantage. This is the final test for the Trail Blazers in this game!

The strength of the two sides is infinitely close, which also makes winning and losing often only between the first line. Curry didn’t control the ball as quickly as before. Now, the No. 30 must be more calm than the defender.

Curry’s control of the ball came in unhurriedly, and the rest of the Warriors never stopped running.

Even if the game has reached the last minute, no one in the Warriors is lazy because of exhaustion.

On the field, it seems that everyone in the Warriors will be the executor of this attack. Even Drummond Green was watched hard by Anjie, for fear that he would get a good opportunity.

The active movement of the Warriors players made everyone think that Curry was going to pass the ball. However, when Curry controlled the ball to the three-point line fan, he suddenly changed direction to the left!

Napier didn’t expect that Curry would suddenly come such a hand. Just when he was about to turn back and chase him back, Napier saw Curry’s cold face, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly cocked.

“Damn it!” Napier yelled badly. After a second, Curry, who was breaking through, used a coherent and fast retreat step to get out of Napier’s defensive range!

Napier didn’t hesitate, and immediately rushed towards Curry. This is probably the most important defense of the game, and Napier doesn’t want to screw him up.

In addition to Napier, Iguodala, who had been ambushing around Curry, also stretched out his big hand to block Curry’s vision. It is impossible for Ricard to use Napier to defend Curry at this critical moment. He was prepared.

“Although Curry’s retreat looks very beautiful, I have to say that this is not a good opportunity!” Seeing Napier and Iguodala both sealed up, Jeff Van Gundy is a conservative. The guy’s first reaction was that Curry should turn into a pass!

However, Curry itself is a miracle outside the three-point line. Even if this is a difficult step backward jumper, even if there are two interferences in front of him. But this young No. 30 guard was stunned to take all the unfavorable factors, and then quickly shot and scored the ball!

“Stephen Curry! A three-pointer! God, this is an incredible goal!” Reggie Miller suddenly stood up, also an NBA legend shooter, but Miller himself had to admit that Curry’s The three-pointer completely subverted people’s perception in the past.

Only 26 seconds left in the game! The Golden State Warriors lead by two points! Two points difference, this is the most deadly for the Blazers! Because the Trail Blazers have the best chance to kill Anjie, he is not a person who is good at finishing games outside the three-point line.

“Pause, pause!” Ricard immediately called the last timeout he held. What does the last timeout mean? Means this is almost the last chance for the Trail Blazers!

There is no doubt that in the last 26 seconds, the Trail Blazers need to shoot a three-pointer to directly end everything. If you play two points and then use foul tactics, the Warriors, known for their shooting and holding a timeout, will hardly give the Trail Blazers any chance to play overtime.

On the bench, the players are nervous. Only An Jie, his expression remained calm.

“What to do?” Anjie looked at Ricard and asked calmly.

Ricard looked at the long bench, Meyers Leonard, Aminu, Iguodala, Harkris, Turner, Courtney Lee, George and Napier. This group of people are the names of all the people who can shoot three-pointers in the Trail Blazers~www.mtlnovel.com~ However, if you add a “three-pointer at a critical moment” condition, those names above will be left. Not much.

Courtney Lee, Iguodala and George, these three are Ricard’s best choice!

Everyone’s eyes fell on Ricard, and Ricard’s mind flashed with countless tactical cooperation.

“It’s not the first time to calm George. This time it’s no different from before!” Ricard comforted himself in his heart. After that, he put down the small bench in his hand and sat in front of the players.

“Man, the Warriors have a very tight perimeter defense. It is not easy to defeat them from the perimeter, so we need a crazy plan!” Ricard looked at everyone and found that the players responded with confident expressions. .

Great, just what Ricard needs to see. He removed the cap of the marker pen, ready to make a fuss on the tactical board.

“First of all, Ann. You will play a vital role in the execution of this tactic!” Ricard’s crazy plan has officially begun!
