Chapter 934 Stephen is too hard(1/2)
Chapter 934: Tiffany is too "hard"
No one wants to fight against the unanimous MVP in the playoffs unless he comes to you with a big knife and wants to tear you into pieces.
In the first quarter, Stephen Curry proved himself that he would never be banned by Weisha like Steve Nash 10 years ago.
Ten years ago, Nash led a remnant army to achieve the third record in the Western Conference and completed the MVP Lianzhuang almost without dispute, but was defended by the fledgling Wei Xia in the first round, which made the subsequent award ceremony very embarrassing.
People can't help but ask, is a superstar who was defended by a rookie in the playoffs really more qualified to be elected as MVP than Kobe and James 1?
What Curry has to deal with is an opponent who is 50 times stronger than Nash has encountered.
Wei Xia defended with all his strength, but Curry was unreasonable. In the physical contact of his hands and feet, under the physical confrontation that surpassed the regular basketball game, under the pressure of attracting world attention, he led the Warriors to start with 26 points and 21 points in a single quarter.
The Warriors entered the second quarter with a 5-point advantage.
Wei Xia, who played the whole first quarter, needed to make a roundabout way like game 4, and he had no time to rest.
"Felix, I need you to win a few minutes of breathing for DeMarcus." Wright said the inter-holiday break.
Cousins played the whole first quarter like Wei Xia, and his performance was underestimated, with 6 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in a single quarter.
He liberated Wei Xia on the offensive end, but he did not have as strong endurance as the latter. He was so tired that he was out of breath for the full quarter that he had to rest.
Wei Xia nodded and said, "Don't worry, boge."
Cousins covered his wet towel over his head and nodded vigorously, and he believed in Wei Xia.
The player who replaced Cousins was Hollins. Compared to Farid's center-to-center-enhancing athletic ability, Wright recognized the arrangement of one more space to give Wei Xia a greater space to hold the ball.
The changes on the Warriors' side were more stable, and Wall, Thompson, Iguodala, Spets and Drummond led the start of the second quarter.
Apart from Spets, there is no obvious defensive gap.
Spetts can also shoot openly, providing room for Wall's breakthrough.
Curry, who performed with a highlight in the first quarter, can rest well. The Warriors have a good foundation. When Curry and Gasol rest, there are three All-Star players on the books.
The game restarts, and Wei Xia comes to defend Wall.
Considering the opponent's speed, Wei Xia's defense is to enlarge half a meter to lure the opponent into shooting.
If Wall is determined to break through, the half-meter of space can also make Wei Xia react.
Wall was not anxious and called for a pick-and-roll, and Spetts came to get the guy.
Wei Xia squeezed through hard, and Hollins immediately dropped Spets and attacked Wall with Wei Xia.
Wall had seen this situation before the attack, and was able to pass the ball easily and successfully delivered it to Sbets.
Sbets made a fixed-point mid-range shot and made a steady shot.
28 to 21
"This is the value of a veteran. Although the Warriors already have two young inside hope stars, Drummond Green and Andre Drummond, they still need veterans."
"The stability of the veteran can bring better protection."
Wei Xia took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Holiday gave it directly.
After halftime, he came to Iguodala and smiled and said, "I want to shoot three points, please be more careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, his left hand, in line with his footsteps, the classic Jordan-style indecisiveness shaking off Iguodala's center of gravity.
Moreover, he seemed to know in advance where Iguodala would lose the center of gravity. The moment of stopping the ball was accurate and timely. His singles were too straightforward. The Warriors didn't even have the chance to double-team. The three-pointer was lifted from their chest to their heads, jumping and taking action.
"Swish!!!"
Wei Xia shook her head disappointed: "I've told you in advance, it's really sad for your defense, Andre."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Iguodala replied unhappily.
Wei Xia, his teammates, and fans who supported the 76ers in front of the TV were happy that they had recovered 3 points. Wall scored like a speed of light, and Thompson responded with a three-pointer.
31 to 24
Robertson raised his hand and said he was wrong, but he didn't follow anyone.
Wei Xia pressed down with his right hand to calm his teammates and not care about the gains and losses of one or two rounds.
"It doesn't matter if he gets the opportunity. What's important is how much confrontation can you give him before he gets the opportunity." Wei Xia educated Robertson on the spot, "this is the key."
Robertson serves, "I get it."
Wei Xia took over the point guard work for two consecutive rounds, and his offensive intentions were obvious.
The Warriors refused to let his life be too comfortable. When his defense was forced out of the three-point line on the left by Iguodala, Drummond suddenly rushed over and attacked.
Rude confrontation and tricks of taking advantage of the situation were ignored by the referee, which was the norm for the game under Nick Buchet's law enforcement.
The 76ers once made a profit, but now the Warriors have fully understood how to play this game.
Everything that Curry had to do was return to Wei Xia in full.
This is fair, especially now, Cousins has come out and Wei Xia has once again shouldered the two important tasks of offense and organization.
The pincer attack came quickly and started hard. After Hollins was released, his approach was not to stand on the outside and wait for a three-pointer opportunity, but to raise his hand and cut inward to believe Wei Xia's pass.
Wei Xia was only one step away from being forced out of bounds. He suddenly grabbed the ball with one hand and made a pass to Drummond's ribs to divert his attention. He then received a hanging pass that was thrown over his head, breaking the Warriors' attack.
Hollins trusted Wei Xia fully in exchange for an open scoring opportunity at the basket and scored smoothly.
26 to 31
"Don't blame me for saying this, but your defense is really wrong." Wei Xia shrugged, there were obvious scratches on his hands, "There is a reason for the substitute."
Wei Xia's trash words hit Drummond's soft heart.
His face had changed.
Iguodala comforted, "Don't mind."
"He's saying the truth," Drummond said tremblingly, "Isn't it?"
Iguodala was speechless. He didn't want to understand Drummond's princess heart, but now their inside line still had to rely on him to support the scene.
Drummond was just hurt by Wei Xia, and Iguodala took the initiative to let someone pass the ball to him.
The others pulled it apart, but unfortunately his singles ability was quite like a rough brother, with stiff steps and ordinary skills. Although his attack was fierce, he was not smart enough.
He couldn't even beat Hollins, and turned around and hit the iron with his hook.
Fortunately, it was very close to the basket, so I grabbed rebounds on the spot, took off continuously, and grabbed two offensive rebounds and was about to push Hollins' defense away for a second attack.
Hollins was so mean and rude, and hit Drummond onto the free throw line.
The constant pain caused Drummond to miss the free throw. In order to prevent the 76ers from counterattacking, the Warriors fouled Wei Xia in the frontcourt.
"Thank you for me and we almost choked to death by your offensive, and now we finally found a way out." Wei Xia took the initiative to tell the opponent's purpose, "If he dares to catch the ball, we dare to foul."
Iguodala must speak for his teammates: "He is a real warrior!"
"That's a must. If he dares to continue to get the ball!" Wei Xia ran to the frontcourt to find Green's trouble.
His approach is unacceptable.
If you are in the second position, you don’t match the outside line well, and have a clear goal to find an inside line to lean on the key position and ask for the ball, just because the person may be less than two meters tall?
"I will ruin you!"
"I can't find it!"
The moment Wei Xia received the ball from a low post, he smashed the ball hard on the floor, and his body drove a strong force toward Green.
If this impact force is changed to an inside player who is weak in defense and likes to perform, he may keep up with fake falls and cause Wei Xia to make an offensive foul.
In a rage, Green only thought about how to "destroy" Wei Xia's attack. The weak manifestation of surrenderism such as fake falls is not within his options.
Wei Xia's power was beyond Green's imagination, and his body was pushed a half-body position away.
Giving someone like Wei Xia a half-body shooting space, is there any defense saved?
Wei Xia's turnaround shooting action is synchronized with Green's foul that he lost his mind.
"Beep!!!!!!"
Green thinks no one can keep shooting at the thug with that kind of thug.
Wish OK!
Green thinks no one can feel the touch after being fouled like this.
Wish there!
Green didn't believe that he used all his strength to foul, wish could still throw the ball into it.
"Swish!!!"
“and one!”
The referee made the offense, Wei Xia walked past Green like nothing happened, "You guys are so interesting. One of the two inside players will not be free throws and the other will not be fouled. No wonder Stephen was elected MVP with a unanimous vote. Today I was convinced."
Green's anger was rushing into the sky.
The referee reminded Wei Xia to stop talking trash, "You've said too much."
