Every mistake may be fatal for the Warriors, but it is obviously impossible to avoid all mistakes.

But you can do your best to avoid mistakes, so Steve Kerr called a timeout.

This does not mean that his decision not to call a timeout after Paul George scored a three-pointer was wrong. His decision at the time was also correct to avoid disrupting the outstanding performance of Harden and Curry who had just connected to help Curry score 5 points in a row.

It shows that there is nothing wrong with this decision.

It's just that the Grizzlies' ability to seize opportunities when their Warriors make mistakes is stronger than their Warriors' ability to seize opportunities when their opponents make mistakes. Harden just didn't notice the defensive player on the other side of the baseline shrinking.

If it were the same situation, it would be difficult for Paul George or Sun Ce to break into the paint and help defend as strong as Draymond Green, and it would be difficult to seize such an opportunity.

But this is the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have been in good shape from the beginning of this season and have maintained it until now. The Warriors cannot take any chances if they want to win.

Thinking of the offensive mistakes at the critical moment in the last game and the missed tip-in by Sun Ce on the defensive end at the critical moment, Steve Kerr felt it was such a pity. What a great opportunity he had in the last game, but if the same routine was used against Gray

The Bears use it. With the Grizzlies' lineup, it is entirely possible that they are ready to deal with it.

No, using regular lineup rotation, with both sides performing equally well, the Warriors did not fall behind.

Tonight, the Warriors don't dare to lose and can't lose! So if something goes wrong, they have to adjust immediately.

…

Just as Steve Kerr thought, the Grizzlies were actually prepared to fight the Warriors to the end, but the Warriors were not. The Warriors really relied on the last game.

The way the game was played affected the Grizzlies' preparations because they had one more preparation target.

But even if it is predicted that the Warriors may not continue the style of play from the last game, the Grizzlies must also be prepared, because it is just a possibility. Who can really say it in the game?

Moreover, the Warriors' positional battle offense was very good tonight. Harden had 7 points and 3 assists, Curry had 5 points and 1 assist, and the Waves combined to score 12 points and 4 assists to help the Warriors score 19 points in the first half.

Thanks to Klay Thompson and Paul George's three-pointers each, the Grizzlies took the lead before entering the official timeout.

In this half of the game, Sun Ce focused on defense. Paul George and Aldridge played well. Sun Ce named Curry twice. Most of the time, the offense relied on Paul George and Aldridge.

With.

However, even if the defense is not good, it does not mean that Sun Ce has not played a role. It can only be said that their Grizzlies lineup went all out and failed to defend well. If Sun Ce does not work hard and the whole team does not work hard to defend, it means that

Maybe the other party will take off again.

The resilience shown by the Warriors in this series is outstanding.

It's just that Sun Ce and others are very confident, and they all feel that they must be better.

…

After the official timeout, the Warriors sent out a five-small lineup of Curry, Barbosa, Iguodala, Speights, and Draymond Green. Harden rested first.

The Grizzlies sent a combination of Livingston, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Larry Sanders and Randolph, and Sun Ce rested first.

This game is likely to become a tug-of-war. Although the Warriors' head coach Steve Kerr knows that this is a game that must be won, he cannot act in a hurry. Seeing that the opponent has replaced Sun Ce to rest, he also

There was no rush to call a timeout and replace Harden.

This is different from the second fight!

The Grizzlies have some regrets. The tactic of luring the opponent to replace Harden failed. The original plan was to lure the opponent to replace Harden in advance, so that they could better consume the opponent's main force.

But the other party was not fooled!

In this case, let's continue to use Klay Thompson to consume Curry, and hope that this lineup can keep the score tight.

But unexpectedly, Paul George was in great shape tonight!

Paul George, who had a poor shooting performance in the last game, felt hot tonight and hit another three-pointer in the second half of the first quarter! Not only that, Randolph also continued his excellent singles performance in the previous game, with every

Livingston was able to perform well in the first 10 minutes of the game, and the Grizzlies expanded their lead in the second half of the first quarter!

The Grizzlies use this lineup to be fast and try their best to suppress the Warriors' rhythm. At the same time, they use the singles abilities of Livingston, Paul George, and Randolph, as well as Klay Thompson's catch-and-shoot three-pointers, to pull the ball away.

Lee Sanders' pie-eating ability led to a 14-10 run. At 10 minutes and 44 seconds of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by 16 points, 35-29!

The Grizzlies didn't even expect this high score, it could be 40+ in a single quarter!

But just when the Grizzlies were gaining momentum, Iguodala stepped forward and hit a mid-range pull-up jumper. Then he stole Livingston's pass from the high post to Larry Sanders, who was cutting through.

, passed to Curry during the counterattack, Curry scored the fourth goal of this quarter and the second three-pointer, helping the Warriors return a wave of 5-0!

As the Grizzlies' Paul George's three-pointer at the buzzer timed out, his hasty shot did not touch the frame. 35 to 34, the Grizzlies led by 1 point entering the intermission.

What a sudden change! Sun Ce saw Klay Thompson score 12 points in a single quarter, Randolph scored 4 points, Klay Thompson scored 6 points, plus Aldridge’s 8 points before, these four people scored 12 points in a single quarter.

After scoring 30 points together, everyone thought they were going to defeat the opponent in the first quarter, but Iguodala stepped up and scored a goal, a steal and an assist. The Warriors got the situation back again!

If it hadn't happened to be a break between sessions, they might have been hit by a wave of counterattacks from the opponent!

Iguodala lifted the coffin board!

This reminded Sun Ce of Game 6 of the first-round series between the Warriors and the Thunder. Seeing that the Warriors were about to be eliminated, Iguodala stepped up and scored 30 points to help the Warriors win the sixth game on the road.

game, and then the Warriors returned to their home court and continued their efforts, winning another game and winning the Game 7 game.

Although the situation is different, for him and Sun, the situation is similar. If the Warriors win this game, it is really possible to play better in the next game, just like in the first round.

After losing three consecutive games to the Thunder in the first round, the Warriors won Game 6. In Game 7, their confidence suddenly returned and they played even better.

As for his grandson, the most he can do is lose one game, otherwise, there will be no chance to upgrade the "Splash Power" to the full level this season!

Also, the longer the series with a team like the Warriors stretches out, the more disadvantageous it becomes! The Grizzlies experienced this last season, this team is too slow.

Taking advantage of the break between sections, Sun Ce, Paul George and Randolph communicated with each other about the advantageous points inside and outside, and then prepared to play.

…

The combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Carter, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian was replaced.

For the Warriors, the lineup of Harden, Brandon Rush, Iguodala, Gerald Wallace, and Sullinger took the field.

A rush of offense is what the Grizzlies must do.

But this time it was the Warriors' turn to change the rhythm first. It can be seen that when Iguodala lifted the coffin board, the confidence of the Warriors players soared! They played more freely, and even the coaching staff made adjustments.

More organized.

The Warriors did not blindly compete with the Grizzlies. Instead, they used the same strategy as the Grizzlies in the second half of the first quarter, using a small lineup to suppress the rhythm. Moreover, the Warriors did not suffer from height.

Both DeWallace and Sullinger can guard Yi Jianlian.

It doesn't matter to Sun Ce if he falls into a positional battle. With Thabeet out, he can easily play in the low post, and he can play with ease in the high post without Draymond Green to defend him.

The two key goals came at 4 minutes and 11 seconds of the second quarter. After a pick-and-roll, Sun Ce faced Brandon Rush and hit a three-pointer. Then Klay Thompson received the ball and ignored Harden and hit a three-pointer directly to defeat the Warriors.

The team's ferocious attack.

The Warriors' ferocious offense was produced by Harden, who returned from half a quarter of rest, with the assistance of Iguodala!

In a little more than 4 minutes, Harden helped the Warriors score 14 points, 8 of which were scored by Harden alone. Harden also had a three-pointer that was passed back to Iguodala.

If the Grizzlies hadn't successfully connected with the Splash Brothers, the Warriors would have opened up the score!

Fortunately, the Splash Brothers connected successfully, giving Sun Ce the opportunity to help Carter and Yi Jianlian to score and kill the score. By the official timeout of the second quarter, the Warriors led the Grizzlies by 1 point, 49 to 48!

Use an idiom to describe Sun Ce's views on the Warriors' half of the game, that is - getting better!

On the Warriors' side, after Iguodala hit his best, everything seemed to have improved. The score was 20 to 12 in the half quarter, which really caught the Grizzlies off guard.

After the official timeout came back, Klay Thompson played for one and a half quarters and went to rest. The lineup of Sun Ce, Carter, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Aldridge came on.

On the Warriors' side, the five-small lineup of Curry, Harden, Iguodala, Speights, and Draymond Green took the field. This lineup is basically the Warriors' most aggressive offensive lineup.

Moreover, the Warriors continued their previous state!

Fortunately, the Grizzlies also continued their good performance before the official timeout in the second quarter. Sun Ce, Carter, and Yi Jianlian had the highest offensive stability on the Grizzlies side.

Lin Jie did not continue to play. Aldridge also had singles opportunities, but more of a fast-paced offense in which Aldridge followed up to maintain the threat.
