One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-One. The Strongest Langbi Grassland Library!
After 1 minute and 21 seconds into the second quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout!
The Warriors scored 9 to 4!
With Paul George's long two-pointer and Gasol's close-range bottom-line lob, the Grizzlies scored 2 of 2 with a 100% hit rate and scored 4 points.
But the Warriors also scored 100%. Curry scored three three-pointers in a row. He scored 9 to 4 by himself!
Including the three-pointer of 2 of 3 in the first quarter, Curry scored 5 of 6 three-pointers!
Tony Allen was even suspicious of his life!
Why did the Warriors start with only 7 wins and 5 losses, and once had 4 wins and 4 losses, but they are still very optimistic?
There are two reasons. Harden is a stable scoring point and the Warriors lineup is also very strong.
The second reason is Curry!
Compared with last season, Curry is more ruthless this year. He can always score two or three three-pointers in a row like this, making the opponent confused!
Maybe Curry only makes two or three three-pointers in a game occasionally, but when he makes two or three three-pointers in a row, no one dares to let him go even if he runs and shoots three-pointers and misses none!
After Curry came on the court in the second quarter, he was troubled by his teammates, so he just did it himself, and then he played a wave of 9 to 4...
40 to 38, the Warriors took only 1 minute and 21 seconds to overtake the score!
Coach Hollins called a timeout, not only because the score was overtaken, but more because he didn't know how to defend Curry.
Curry's lineup must be single-handed, so Tony Allen went to defend Curry, but facing Tony Allen's defense, Curry made 3 of 3 three-pointers.
Just now, Tony Allen had a foul on Curry's last three-pointer, but the referee didn't blow it, maybe the referee was also shocked.
Unlike Sun Ce, who often has a size advantage and his opponents are helpless against him, Curry has almost no size advantage. He is shorter than Tony Allen, has shorter arms than Tony Allen, and is far inferior to Tony Allen in confrontation.
In this situation, he can still score, which has brought a strong psychological blow to the entire Grizzlies team!
That's Tony Allen!
Call a timeout,
interrupt the opponent's touch, and then continue to play defense? Coach Hollins and his coaching staff doubt whether this idea will make Curry continue to soar.
This is a big man who can make 10+ three-pointers in a single game!
And the opponent has already started!
Even if we ignore Tony Allen's face problem and double-team him, the opponent Bazemore can cut in, Draymond Green has a certain three-point ability in passing the ball, David Lee has a mid-range shot, and Thabeet is the tallest player in the league today. Standing in the three-second zone is a containment force.
Even if the opponent's defense is not good, the opponent is indeed not good. Draymond Green is too slow to play as a small forward. Paul George scored easily and passed an assist to Gasol.
But Curry made a three-pointer!
At this time, Sun Ce couldn't help it.
He wanted to win! He wanted to beat Curry and Harden!
Isn't the purpose of playing a game to win?
Even if there is no star experience card for a three-point master, playing too hard in the second half with the star experience card will not be so good, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is to win!
As for whether the star experience card will be wasted... these rewards and the improvement of strength are all for winning.
Coach Hollins was hesitating and thinking, and suddenly, his hands were empty... Turning around, he saw that his players and assistants had surrounded Sun Ce... Coach Hollins felt tears flying...
...
Seeing the opposite team of Curry, Bazemore, Harris Barnes, Draymond Green, and David Lee on the court, Sun Ce felt that the other side seemed to have opened up!
In fact, it's not that he has opened up. Mark Jackson knows how to play a better offense. It's just that he wants to integrate the abilities of all the players in the team into the team and wants to pursue perfection. When this mentality is very firm, it looks so rigid, and often disagrees with the players.
He doesn't have the determination of Steve Kerr to make a decisive move. Mark Jackson doesn't dare to put a player who averaged 20+10 last season on the bench or even occasionally not give him a chance to play, like Steve Kerr did.
But Curry shoots so well, and the opportunity to play pass-cut cooperation has come, so Mark Jackson must do this.
Sun Ce looked at Curry, who was shaking his shoulders and playing with Draymond Green. His arrogant look... S+ level three-pointers are really amazing!
At the end of the first quarter, Sun Ce still felt that the 5-2 three-point advantage was obvious.
Good guy, the opponent caught up in a few moves. Now he, Sun, and Klay, have the same number of three-point hits as Curry!
After the timeout, Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Larry Sanders came on the court.
The game continued, and the Grizzlies chose to serve from the midline.
Sun Ce received the serve and restrained the urge to shoot a three-pointer. Harris Barnes has an excellent physique and good mobility, good defensive awareness, is willing to do dirty work, has a calm and low-key personality, and has the attributes of a good guy. It is more difficult to shoot a three-pointer against him than to shoot a three-pointer against Iguodala.
However, it is much easier to break through. Sun Ce made a crossover step and changed direction. Amid the exclamations of the Warriors fans at the scene, he passed Harris Barnes and attracted Draymond Green's defense.
Sun Ce made a ground pass. David Lee under the basket saw a red-haired monster receiving the ball and flying towards him. He didn't have time to hide. Yi Jianlian smashed the ball into the basket through David Lee!
40 square meters!
When Sun Ce comes up, the first thing he must strive for is to win.
Sun Ce feels that David Lee is indeed falling behind in this era. He feels that David Lee is very similar to Jahlil Okafor, the No. 3 overall pick in 2015, in his impression. He has extremely excellent skills and excellent positioning. He has rebounding ability, but his movement speed is not enough. Even if he can continuously score in the low post and hit mid-range shots, in today's era, his role is getting smaller and smaller.
It's certainly useful, but not as effective as past players who were strong in the low post.
Of course, the most important thing is that they can't move well and defend well.
In transition, the Warriors attack.
After Sun Ce retreated from defense, he stayed at the top arc and waited for Curry to advance.
Tony Allen and Paul George went to fight with Bazemore and Harris-Barnes, and Yi Jianlian and Larry Sanders defended David Lee and Draymond Green.
Curry advanced to the frontcourt and saw Sun Ce guarding him. He didn't hit him hard. He wanted to beat Sun Ce alone... it was difficult!
But why didn't the Grizzlies let Sun Ce guard Curry in the first quarter? There's a reason for this. Draymond Green stretched to the sideline and Curry lobbed the ball to David Lee for a single!
Without Randolph, the Grizzlies are faster than David Lee. Without David Lee, Gasol is stronger than David Lee, but David Lee can play mid-range singles... At this moment, David -Lee’s role is revealed!
