Skipping the pre-game topics, the team's game finally began.
Warriors:
Curry, Thompson, Barnes, David Lee, BoGt.
Among them, Curry's three-point ability value of 97 and Thompson's 94 blinded Wang Zelin.
They are indeed the "Splash Brothers", the top three-point shooting combination in history, it is really not just talk.
The most important thing is that "Splash Brothers" is still the original version, and version updates are waiting for them.
…
Wang Zelin felt extremely weird about the No. 12 player in front of him.
Once upon a time, he cursed this guy more than once on the Internet, and even wanted to beat him up in person.
But when he actually confronted him, he found that this feeling not only did not diminish, but actually became stronger.
Ahem, hitting someone is just talk. We are civilized people, how could we do such a thing.
At least not on the surface.
On the other hand, BoGt opposite, stared at Wang Zelin with a cold face, muttering secretly in his heart.
"What's so good about this Chinese boy?"
"Why did he win Ajiali's favor as soon as he arrived?"
"If I kill this kid soon, will Ajiali..."
Obviously, BoGt has coveted Ajiali, the daughter of the team's majority shareholder, for a long time, but it's a pity that the latter has never given him a good look.
The coquettish operation just now made BoGt blinded by envy, jealousy and hatred.
Wang Zelin won the jump ball without any suspense. BoGt, who was born in the top pick, is not known for his physical fitness, but relies more on his high emotional intelligence and superb skills.
The Trail Blazers attacked, and Wang Zelin assisted Batum in the high post for a layup.
This goal fully demonstrated Wang Zelin's intimidation, showing a wave of "King has gravity" in front of Curry.
Warriors offense.
Curry held the ball at the top of the arc and began to direct his teammates to run, and Lillard defended him.
However, the Warriors did not give the Trail Blazers a chance to defend one on one alone, and everyone used their best pick-and-roll and screen.
Although Cole has not yet joined the Warriors, Mark Jackson is not mediocre. He knows Curry's manual very well.
It's a pity that due to the limitations of the times and personal vision, he still maintains the view that the inside is supreme and that the No. 1 position should be responsible for organizing teammates, etc., and he has never been able to release all of Curry's firepower.
Just like now.
David Lee came up for a pick-and-roll, and Curry rushed in. When everyone's attention was on the baby face, the Warriors' No. 11 player weaved back and forth in the crowd and ran out of space at a 45-degree angle on the left.
Curry quickly gave the ball away. After receiving the ball, Warriors player No. 11 sent the ball out in a very formal shooting posture.
"Whoosh!"
Matthews was unable to defend in time, was a beat late, and watched helplessly as his opponent hit a three-pointer.
Looking back, the Trail Blazers also played pick-and-roll.
Lillard signaled his teammates to pull away and let Wang Zelin step forward to pick and roll. The latter went down and dunked on BoGt's head.
"Whoosh!"
It rained three points again for the Warriors, and this time it was Curry who rained.
Before the Blazers players could recover, they directly hit a chasing three-pointer in the frontcourt.
"That kid is too daring to gamble."
Curry's three-point shot was so crisp that Matthews was caught off guard.
In his habitual thinking, the offensive round should be launched when his teammates are in position. This is not a critical period where he must rely on touch to chase points.
In fact, there are many people who think like Matthews. In today's league, even in front of the net, it will be correct for decades.
Unfortunately, starting from today, many of the NBA's past inertial thinking will be broken.
For example: It’s hard to win with a three-pointer!
"This is not an excuse. Pay more attention to that kid's three points and don't miss him so easily."
The Warriors' first two offenses fell into Wang Zelin's eyes, and he couldn't help but twitch.
Two three-pointers are worth three two-pointers. No wonder D'Antoni fell into a madness and played the magic ball later.
Even he was a little emotional at this moment.
It’s just that your way of basketball does not belong to me. The basket is my home court!
Wang Zelin's eyes burst out with a strong fighting spirit: I want to see it!
Is it your three-point shooting that's better, or is it that I'm better at attacking the basket?
Positioned in the frontcourt, Wang Zelin reached out for the ball.
Lillard, who was aroused by the "Splash Brothers"'s three-pointers each, was about to shoot one when he saw Wang Zelin's actions and gave up his thoughts.
"Rookie, you..."
FAK!!!
BoG was having a friendly interaction when Wang Zelin suddenly pushed past the defender and charged in like a wild bull.
Seeing that the situation was not right, David Li could slow down his pace and watch Wang Zelin soar into the air...
"Oh Shet!"
"Andrew is as soft as a noodle in front of Trail Blazers No. 36, shit!!!"
"..."
This is BoGt's first season with the Warriors. Warriors fans had high hopes for him. He did not perform as he should have as a three-team center and shot-blocking leader in the league. Instead, he was criticized by many because he frequently missed time due to injuries.
People despise it.
"You brat, you don't have martial ethics!"
On the way back to defense, BoGt ran over and roared angrily.
"Hahaha, the stadium is like a battlefield. How will you fight with the enemy on the battlefield? Idiot!"
Wang Zelin laughed proudly.
"..."
BoGte opened his mouth, but found that Wang Zelin suddenly accelerated and threw him on the back of the head.
At this time, Curry passed halftime and BoGt started running.
Wang Zelin never left his side and walked closely.
The Warriors' three-point shooting percentage this season is 39.8%, which is the highest overall three-point shooting percentage among the 30 teams in the league.
What is this concept?
Even in the seasons after Durant joined, Curry, Durant, and Thompson, three of the top five shooters in the league, never achieved such a shooting percentage.
Therefore, the Warriors still chose to play three-pointers.
This time it was small forward Barnes who took the three-point shot. Although his shooting percentage was not as good as Curry's 45% and Thompson's 39.7%, he still had a three-point shooting percentage of 35.4, ranking fourth on the team.
"Whoosh!"
Barnes hit an open three-pointer.
9:6.
They both had a 100% shooting percentage, but their side was actually 3 points behind... Who can I ask to explain?
Coach Terry frowned, but soon relaxed.
Compared with his opponent's three-pointer behavior, he is more convinced that his positional warfare and defensive tactics can go further.
…
Lillard advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Batum, and Barnes defended him.
It is worth mentioning that Barnes has these two nicknames, one is "Big Butt" and the other is "Little Pippen."
This shows Barnes' playing style.
It was not easy for Batum to get past Barnes 1-on-1, so he very wisely waved in the direction of Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin came to the three-point line and made a high-quality pick-and-roll, and Batum took the screen and broke through much more easily.
At the other end, David Lee, who was closest, made timely defense and formed a pincer attack with Barnes behind him.
Batum turned into a sandwich biscuit, and the word "Fake" was about to come out in his heart.
"ball!"
There was a sound nearby. Batum found that Wang Zelin was sprinting with all his strength, running towards the paint area, and quickly threw the hot ball towards the basket...
"Assist received!"
According to Batum's understanding of Wang Zelin's physical fitness, no one can stop Wang Zelin's invincible chariot as he rushes forward.
Besides, there is no one under the basket at this time... Oh, no, it seems that the number one pick, Lang BoGte, is standing.
But it shouldn’t be a big problem!
Neither Batum nor Wang Zelin regarded BOG as a human being.
The difference between the two is that Batum treats each other as a dish, while Wang Zelin takes it literally.
When Wang Zelin broke into the penalty area, everyone knew something was wrong and ran towards the penalty area from the other side.
Finally caught up.
Coming to the penalty area, BoG wanted to show off his heroic figure as a regular season shot-blocker in the 2010~2011 season, but suddenly found that the opponent's jumping height seemed a bit outrageous...
"boom!"
BoGt jumped up and slapped Wang Zelin on the chest. The latter caught the basketball and pushed it into the basket like a normal person.
After landing, Wang Zelin said nothing and just shook his head at BoGt who fell on the ground.
You~can't do it!
I'm crazy...
Scholars can endure it, but others cannot.
When BoGt stood up and prepared to argue, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Beep!"
"Player No. 12 commits a defensive foul. No. 36 will add a free throw!"
At this moment, Bogut's expression looked like he was constipated. He stood on both sides with a sullen expression and watched Wang Zelin score 2-1.
Only one point left.
For the Warriors, Curry chose a three-pointer again, but this time he defended Batum in time, disrupting Curry's shooting rhythm. The basketball bounced directly onto the basket and was ruled out of bounds.
Looking back, Aldridge received the ball from Matthews, took his first shot from the mid-range and successfully hit it.
10:9.
The Trail Blazers overtook them.
Coach Terry opened Gatorade and took a sip, feeling happier and happier.
I knew the Warriors' offense wouldn't last long.
…
As soon as he turned around, Curry repeated his old trick, chasing after the body and shooting a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
Return to blacksmithing.
Wang Zelin picked up the rebound and prepared to pass a long pass, but was intercepted by Klay Thompson in midfield.
"Beep!"
The Warriors called a timeout.
"Stephen, don't forget your identity. You are a point guard, and your first task is to organize your teammates."
The continuous blacksmithing made Mark Jackson intolerable.
"I got it coach."
Curry lowered his head, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.
I didn’t see you say that when I made the investment, why am I so embarrassed now...
After returning from the timeout, the Warriors, under the leadership of Curry, began to play in a structured manner and did not act like they did before.
Mark Jackson nodded with satisfaction.
He seems to have forgotten that the final analysis of a basketball game is about who scores more points.
The Warriors took the lead before relying on a surprise. If they really want to compare with the Trail Blazers' tactics of hard bridge and hard horse, the Warriors are no match for them.
After one quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Warriors by 7 points, 33:25.
Under repeated requests from the head coach, Curry's performance lost its previous aura.
In other words, the fight is not as rough as before...
After the first quarter, Wang Zelin scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and limited the opposing center BoGt to 0 points on 3 shots and only 1 rebound.
