1019 The wind is tight
Both teams put defense first, but both the Warriors and the Grizzlies have highlights in offense.
Guy's three-pointer gave the Grizzlies a chance to make a comeback, so they were only behind the Warriors - points, and this opportunity quickly appeared. The Warriors attacked again, Chamberlain was blown up and walked against the rules, and the Grizzlies got the ball.
In this way, the Grizzlies can solve all problems with just one three-pointer.
The Warriors don't believe that the Grizzlies will shoot three-pointers with such a good counterattack opportunity, but the defense line is still biased towards the inside. Conley controls the ball and cruissing on the three-point line, Guy and Mayo both turn to the inside, Gasol Jr. and Randolph keep running, creating opportunities for the two.
In this way, the Warriors naturally believe that the opponent wants to run and find an opportunity to break through the inside line. Conley gave them a wake-up call. He ran outside the three-point line for a while, suddenly stood up and took a three-pointer.
The basketball drew a wonderful curve in the air, and under the nervous gaze of the fans, it plunged into the basket ring again
The sound of fans gasping in the Oracle Arena suddenly sounded, as if the staff turned on the blower, and it was whistling.
The Warriors didn't understand one thing. The Grizzlies are a youth army. Once this kind of team goes crazy, there is nothing they dare not do.
The Spurs underestimated this, so the Grizzlies made a black seven.
Three three-pointers scored nine points in a row, and the score between the two sides was tied at 15-15. Now it was Old Nelson's turn to feel a vague pain, so he called a timeout.
Curry made an emergency attack, and the Warriors had to open the outside.
After playing, Curry wanted to find a feeling on the outside, but the overall feel of the Warriors was not very good. Seeing that Curry had the desire to attack, they simply gave him enough opportunities. In the next three minutes, Curry gave him four mobile phone calls.
Mengku is also a talented person. He made four three-pointers from the outside, but he failed to hit.
Despite his poor condition, Curry still had an eye-catching performance. With 6 minutes and 15 seconds left in the quarter, he stole Conley's pass, then led the fast break, rushed to the Grizzlies' penalty area at lightning, and scored a throw in front of Mayo and caused the opponent to foul. This was also a disguised three-pointer: 2fI
Immediately afterwards, Curry, who came on the bench, made another steal, and the opponent had to make a foul. Curry scored 6 points in a row, giving the Warriors a big face.
Curry's outstanding performance made EpNR ace commentator Jeff Van Gundy praise: "This kid is so great, Reggie, he is much better than you when you were just starting out. Do you have such a breakthrough like this? Look, after he stole the steal just now, it seemed like he turned into a spirit fox, such a cute spirit fox, but it was so terrible when he took action. It was so great."
Reggie Miller laughed and said, "To be honest, when I first entered the league, my breakthrough was indeed just right..."
"It was also very normal later." Van Gundy interrupted him and said seriously.
Miller shrugged and said, "Maybe, that's because I'm too lazy to score with breakthroughs. Jump shots are always the easiest and easiest way to score. Can I make mid-range shots and still have to break through? Moreover, three-point long shots seem to be a better way to score, right?"
Indeed, three-pointers are a better way to score, saving effort and scoring more points, but you have to be able to make a shot.
The Warriors' three-point line was delayed, and Chamberlain scored a close-range score at the basket, but two rounds later, the Grizzlies Guy broke through the basket and made a backhand layup to get two points in response.
The scores of the two teams have been entangled. After the Grizzlies' three-point offensive, the Warriors couldn't get back the counterattack advantage.
The Grizzlies were full of energy and the youth army was in a hurry, so they could only be described as being offensively tide. However, the young man was a little unrecognizable. After that, Mayo actually broke through the basket continuously, and Chamberlain waited for him and gave him two consecutive hats. This way, the Grizzlies' attack trend was slightly curbed.
In the second quarter, under Chamberlain, the Warriors' attack wave finally opened.
After returning to the court, Chamberlain asked for the ball from the inside, Curry passed the ball to him. Chamberlain immediately turned around and waved his arms and dunked.
Gasol Jr. was knocked back by Chamberlain. Seeing that the latter was about to dunk, he gritted his teeth and pulled it up. Chamberlain failed to dunk successfully, but made a throw-in from the basket and scored points in the first place.
Then, the Grizzlies missed a long shot, Chamberlain took the rebound, and the Warriors joined forces to counterattack. Finally, their three-point line opened, Curry rose from the ground and made a long shot, making a three-pointer.
In this way, Chamberlain succeeded in attacking in the inside and Curry set up a turret outside the three-point line, so the Warriors began to take the initiative on the field.
The Grizzlies refused to retreat. Randolph made a layup with Jamison, Tony Helun cut the ball to the basket without the ball, and dunked it with a catch.
The scores of both sides have been bitten very tightly, and at this time the home advantage is revealed. The crazy shouts of fans gave the Warriors unlimited motivation, the attacks are getting stronger and stronger, and the defense is getting more and more airtight.
In the middle of the game, Old Nelson called a timeout and replaced Chamberlain.
With 6 minutes and 43 seconds left in the quarter, West launched a fast break. The Warriors played one-on-three in the frontcourt. He missed a layup, but immediately grabbed the offensive rebound and directly made up the ball in the air with one hand.
The Grizzlies took advantage of Chamberlain's absence to attack the inside, and Randolph's strong inside attack ability was demonstrated. He first hit a hook shot, then beat Ibaka and turned around and made a jump shot.
On the Warriors' side, West also began to show his strength. With 2 minutes and 3 seconds left in the quarter, he started to accelerate before he even passed the midfield and quickly broke through to the basket. Conley had only time to pull him, but failed to stop him, and the latter ended with a dunk.
Three seconds later, West changed backwards from outside the three-point line and quickly cut into the basket again, dunked with both hands, and after two consecutive "three-pointers", the Warriors surpassed 4342. Curry made two three-pointers in this quarter, and he scored the last three-pointer in the quarter, and the Warriors ended the first half 46-44.
The second half started, and Chamberlain was on the court again, and Hollins couldn't help but shake his head.
When Chamberlain was not present, it was the best opportunity for the Grizzlies to counterattack. Unfortunately, West and Curry performed too bravely, which made them miss this opportunity. Now that they want to fight back, it will be even more difficult.
Sure enough, as soon as Chamberlain came on the court, he saw Randolph breaking through the basket and immediately followed him quietly, jumping up and giving him a big hat.
With 9 minutes left in the game, Mayo made a breakthrough and Chamberlain blocked again
Chamberlain's excellence is not only reflected in the defensive end, but also in the offensive end. After playing, he first beat Haddadi and made a layup with a hook. Since then, he used his hook to trick Haddadi away and scored again with a jump shot.
Gasol Jr. couldn't sit still off the court, but his physical strength was not enough to control him to continue playing. In the first half, he had been defending Chamberlain. Being able to defend Chamberlain for two quarters was considered to be very physically capable.
Afterwards, Chamberlain broke through to the basket after covering the high position, and then West passed the ball and hit it again. Chamberlain, who felt that he wanted to get the ball outside the three-point line, jumped up and swung his hand, and actually shot the first three-pointer after the second half.
In this way, the Warriors scored a 0-shot and achieved an advantage with 594B.
Hollins had no choice but to ask for a timeout change.
This is how it is in the playoffs. Under this defensive intensity, it is a showdown between superstars. Ordinary players just come to accompany the prince to study.
The Grizzlies replaced the main force again, but unfortunately the initiative has fallen into the hands of the Warriors, and they can't take it back.
After all, the youth army was resilient. Randolph led the team to launch a counterattack. He took a shot from the basket and caused Chamberlain to make two free throws. Then Mayo made a three-pointer, and the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to 6 points in a row.
Old Nelson replaced Iverson to control the ball, and the answer that was famous for his strong and domineering ball style has now become the most stable outside line for the Warriors. After he came on the court, he dragged the Warriors' rhythm down and passed the ball to Chamberlain, who then broke through the basket and made a layup.
With 40 seconds left in the quarter, Conley missed a jump shot, Chamberlain took the rebound and passed it to Iverson. The Warriors suddenly launched a fast break. The Grizzlies caught off guard and were actually made into a three-on-one. Iverson passed the ball, Carter, who stopped passing the ball after receiving the ball, ended with a one-handed dunk.
The Grizzlies missed the last strike, and the Warriors made another fast break, and finally Chamberlain rushed to the basket in the middle and ended the attack with a exquisite basket pick.
In this way, after the third quarter, the Warriors once again surpassed the lead to double digits with 80.
Old Nelson originally predicted that the young Grizzlies would collapse in the fourth quarter, which is also a common situation for the youth army, and they can't hold back at critical moments.
However, the Grizzlies' performance made the fans of the court admire him. Under the joint leadership of the young Conley and the prodigal Randolph, they played very well and were not panicked.
The Warriors missed 6 consecutive shots in the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies managed to fight back slowly. After playing a 6l offensive, they bit the score and the hope of counterattack.
At B minutes and 05 seconds, Chamberlain stood up and took over the game. He made a jump shot on his bottom foot. Gasol was attracted by the fake moves and then Chamberlain quickly broke through and rushed down, slipped into the baseline and made a layup.
But then, Guy, who performed poorly throughout the game, made a breakthrough layup and hit Chamberlain's attack. West passed the ball to George, Guy knocked him out and stole the ball. The Grizzlies once again made a fast break counterattack, and got two more points.
Chamberlain wanted the ball to be overturned like an angry dragon at the basket. Gasol Jr. had no choice but to foul. Chamberlain made two free throws. Two seconds later, Gay wanted to fight back. He broke through and layup. Chamberlain attacked from the front and gave him a big hat in front.
The Warriors returned. After Chamberlain received West's pass, he shook Gasol away with fake moves, then used brute force to snatch Randolph, and then made a jump shot at the basket.
As time passed, the Grizzlies finally became a little nervous. They strengthened their defense amid Hollins' roar, and the Warriors took the lead and were happy to play defensive battles. After the two teams missed the shots one after another, Chamberlain cut the basket and staged an aerial relay show.
After that, the Grizzlies were completely in chaos. Mayo stubbornly rushed to the frontcourt and fought for a three-pointer. As a result, the ball popped out and was grabbed by Chamberlain. The Warriors were full of confidence. Chamberlain attacked the basket and caused Gasol Jr. to foul again. This was the latter's sixth foul, which directly sent him off the court.
Without Gasol Jr., the Grizzlies' inside line was suddenly blank
Chamberlain first made two free throws, then scored in the open space, and one man scored 4 points in a row.
The Grizzlies only made a shot by Randolph when there were 2 minutes and 33 seconds left in the game.
The Warriors attacked slowly, Chamberlain attracted the defensive double-team and passed the ball to the outside. When Carter received the ball, he made a super long-range three-pointer and hit.
When the Grizzlies saw that there was not much time, Guy also made a three-pointer. West kept guarding him. Although Guy got rid of Jamison's defense, he was blocked by West at the moment of jumping. The Mad Dog blocked the big man with a small one and threw the ball off.
It was another defensive counterattack, and Chamberlain followed and rushed to the frontcourt to play a 2I ball. This completely destroyed the Grizzlies' resilience. Less than a minute before the end of the game, they were still 14 points behind. Hollins had no choice but to remove the main force, and the game ended.
In the second game, the Warriors won again, 10,494, winning 10 points.
