Chapter 939
The 76ers don't want to stay in the Warriors' rhythm for too long.
They are good at playing positional warfare, because as long as they fall into the half-court offense, they have many options.
Usually the most stable choice is to let Wei Xia play singles. Although his shoulder is fine now, the tingling under his feet gradually increases as the game progresses.
The Warriors are very high-profile on the offensive end, and when they come back to defend, they also put on a full posture.
Wei Xia ran to a high position to get the ball. After the timeout just now, the Warriors made personnel adjustments.
They suddenly put up the death five, Gasol Jr. took a rest, Green played center, Iguodala came up and dropped the fourth position, and at the same time the defensive end faced Weixia.
The Warriors' five juniors started in the finals of last season and became famous in the regular season of this season. Because of their exaggerated victory value with this lineup, they were dubbed the word death.
The opening of the finals was only 3 minutes, and the five dead players showed that they wanted to take advantage of the opening attack to defeat the 76ers in one wave.
Since they play the five minors, the 76ers will naturally play inside.
Cousins received the ball in the low post, and the weakness of the five minors is that Green's size is not suitable for fighting against big centers.But the Warriors are not helpless against the big man's offense. Five flexible players are on the court at the same time, which is convenient for flanking and defensive rotation.
Seeing that Cousins was going to play Green in the low post at this time, Iguodala let go of Weixia and went to the inside to attack.
They even released Wei Xia, which shows the madness.
However, there is a consideration for releasing Wei Xia. The world does not know that Wei Xia's dislocated shoulder was a "misdiagnosis". The Warriors thought he played with an injury.Can Wei Xia, who can only use one hand, shoot?He didn't make a few shots before, which gave the Warriors a lot of confidence.
At this level of the game, it seems crazy for the Warriors to short Wei Xia, but in fact they care about everything.
Cousins passed the ball, and Wei Xia had to make it.
Only in this way can Cousins' defensive pressure be relieved.
Wei Xia received the ball, lowered his center of gravity, and shot.
The impact of the leg injury is not so great.
The game played by possessing Kobe was like a mock exam.
It just so happened that the content of the mock exam was similar to that of the final exam.
Wei Xia has experience, and what he needs to pass at this time is a psychological barrier. He gritted his teeth and threw the ball, and successfully distracted with a swish.
It seems that even the pain in the legs has receded a little.
Wei Xia continued to pester Curry.
With his current injury, chasing an offensive player like Curry who can move in a wide range is not the best choice.
But he has no choice. If he doesn't come to guard Curry, it means that his injury is very serious, so the Warriors will be even more confident.
Luckily, Curry isn't healthy either.
The ankle injury also affected his performance.
The two sides started a 20-second hand-to-hand fight. The Warriors couldn't find a chance to score, just like the 76ers looked for Wei Xia when they couldn't score. The Warriors' offense killed them and they also like to find Curry.
"Invite parents to come to town" seems to be an instinct written in human genes.
Curry dragged his injured ankle, and his brisk rhythm changes couldn't shake Wei Xia away. In the end, it was Green's pick-and-roll that helped him create opportunities.
Green's pick-and-roll looks crisp and clean, but in fact, during Curry's movement, he obviously moved his body.
This kind of behavior is called moving pick and roll on the basketball court.
That's the dark secret behind Curry's invincibility, with the Warriors able to win 74 games.
The league indulged most of their moving pick-and-rolls.
The illegal nature of the moving pick-and-roll is not only that the position of the wall can be adjusted at any time, but also that because the wall is moving, when the defender collides with the wall, it often hits a painful spot.
Wei Xia was like a player in 2K who got a perfect pick-and-roll and was tripped by the wall-at the same time, Curry was fouled severely by Cousins like Curry went inside.
Cousins would rather let Curry go to free throws than let him score easily.
"Do you have to do this?" Curry grumbled.
Cousins didn't answer with a stern face, but ran to Wei Xia to help him up.
"Control the number of your fouls." Wei Xia reminded, "You can't have foul problems tonight anyway."
Cousins nodded vigorously: "I know."
The ankle affects Curry's free throw feel. He made more than 91% of his free throws this season, and his first free throw was short.
He stumbled into the second free throw.
13 is better than 6
Just as Holiday dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Wei Xia opened his hand to ask for the ball.
The more the foot injury destroys the fighting spirit, the more he has to do things with the ball.
If he is always concerned about the situation at his feet, it is impossible to play at his level.
He has to forget about it.
ball!
"I will never be soft just because you only have one hand!" Iguodala stated, and then made a serious defensive posture.
Wei Xia smiled, holding the ball with his right hand—the right hand that the opponent thought was dislocated—even though the opponent thought his right shoulder was dislocated, but seeing him take a step to the right with the ball in his right hand, the defense still encountered devastating turmoil.
The fear of Wei Xia has formed muscle memory.
Iguodala retreated subconsciously, and Wei Xia immediately handed the ball to his left hand and took the road.
He shook Iguodala away, dribbled the ball and accelerated to the basket, but unfortunately, when he shot, he didn't give his feet any strength, and the layup was soft and lacked strength. He just spun around the basket to no avail.
Fortunately, Cousins rushed down the offensive rebound bravely-the Warriors are obsessed with the fifth, so they must bear the consequences of losing consecutive defensive rebounds.
Cousins grabbed the offensive rebound and couldn't attack immediately because Green was behind him.
He didn't force it, and handed the ball to Wei Xia at close range.
Wei Xia touched the ball with one hand and didn't let it stay on his body. Van Gundy suspected that he had an eye on the back of his head, as if he was paying attention to the situation of the audience. Thompson, who was about to pinch him in advance, lost Hayward, and Wei Xia's one-point pass made his choice a complete mistake.
The ball came to the left corner, and Hayward held the ball and aimed at the basket.
"Shuh!!!"
9 is better than 13
"Before the Warriors had time to catch their breath, the 76ers caught up!"
"Fuguo Center is like a tsunami scene! The audience is already crazy!"
The cooperation of the Big Three of the 76ers is inspiring, and the Warriors' response to this is very simple.
With continuous high screens, Curry is a huge threat just by running without the ball.
He took away too much manpower from the 76ers.
There can only be five players in a basketball game. If more than two people's resources are used to keep an eye on one person, the opponent will form a four-on-three situation.
The so-called library has gravity, that's what it is.
Even if he doesn't have the ball, as long as he runs around the perimeter, the 76ers will not dare to be careless.
What he involves is the opponent's entire defense, and the one who benefits from this is often Klay Thompson.
High on the right wing, Thompson catches and shoots.
15 is better than 9
No matter how impenetrable the 76ers' defense is, as long as the Warriors can persist in inheriting the Spurs' signature passing and cutting, and grasp the open shooting opportunities created by tactics, all problems can be solved.
The 76ers' offense has its own recklessness.
Rondo is not there, Holiday is the main controller, he is not so careful.
Cousins ran to the high post to get the ball, and he was facing a positional battle without any gaps.
Hayward was seen dead, Weixia was running, Faried had no offensive threat, and Holiday's offensive threat was not as good as him.
"time!"
"time!"
Wei Xia almost ran out of the opportunity, and Iguodala's fierce physical confrontation knocked him to the ground.
Cousins can only shoot!
Wei Xia, who was sitting on the ground, saw that the arc was wrong at a glance. His pupils saw the essence through the arc of the ball-he would not score, and-he completely forgot about his foot injury, and bounced off the ground with all his strength as if nothing happened.
"boom!"
A scene that frightened the Warriors happened.
"Wish is flying!"
Wesha jumped into the air to catch the offensive rebound, and Iguodala knocked him off balance from the side.
The whistle blew, and it was a rare foul for the Warriors.
Wei Xia, who had turned the world upside down, didn't look at the basket at all, but just grabbed the ball with one hand and hooked it upwards. He didn't intend to score.
Maybe it's luck, maybe it's the touch, maybe it's the audience at the Fuguo Center who changed the trajectory of the ball with their thoughts.
The basketball rubs against the backboard, creating a rebound just enough for it to slam into the rim.
"Shh!"
"And one!"
"Holy Wish!!!"
"What a crazy tip!" Mike Breen yelled in disbelief. "Did he really dislocate his shoulder?"
Nearly [-] spectators chanted Magic Move.
"The dislocation of the shoulder is like this. If it hadn't been dislocated, wouldn't it be heaven?" Joe Bryant is a master of the past and the present. He always said that contemporary players would not be able to play in the NBA in his day.
But seeing Wei Xia's performance today, his cognition was shaken.
No player he knew could do that with a dislocation.
No, even if it is not dislocated, it is almost impossible to score.
"He didn't dislocate at all!" Kobe said forcefully, "I can do it instead!"
When Wei Xia's body fell, he took advantage of the opportunity and performed a round of rolling on the floor to relieve the momentum.
Opening his eyes, the four teammates on the field came to support him one after another.
It doesn't matter whether Wei Xia is dislocated or not. Judging from his state, they can all see that he played with an injury.
Even if he is injured, he does not intend to give up the game.
Even with his injuries, he still performed so well.
The encouragement this brings to teammates is far greater than the chicken soup of the coaching staff.
I don't know the reason, but after the fall, the pain in my left leg subsided a lot.
Wei Xia thought it was an illusion, but he stomped a few times on purpose, and it didn't look like an illusion.
The referee throws the ball over.
He catches and throws.
Swish!
12 is better than 15
Seeing to be behind by double digits before, after a timeout, the peak turned around, and the 76ers suddenly caught up to 3 points.
Wei Xia was about to pursue the victory with his teammates, but the Warriors stopped the game.
Steve Kerr saw that Wei Xia's state was abnormal.
He must be injured, maybe a timeout can break his fiery state.
As long as the possibility exists, he must call this timeout.
