Chapter 247 The third battle of the brave horse (11)
Although the defense of these five players on the Warriors' court is not as good as that of the starters, it is not much worse.
Azubuike and Lopez were both there, Curry was resurrected with full health and unlimited vitality, Belinelli and Radmanovic didn't play much in the front, and the five of them were very active on the court.
In addition, the Spurs' substitute lineup is not very strong in scoring ability, so they only scored 2 points in these two minutes.
Of course, the more important thing is that morale is different.
The Warriors knew that Curry was fine, so they deliberately swung the Spurs.
The Spurs bench was in a state of confusion.
The comparison between the two can be imagined.
The score was overtaken in two minutes, and Popovich had to call a timeout.
The situation on the field changes too quickly!
Popovich doesn't know what's going on with Curry, and he wants to take a look before talking about it.
The Spurs have mostly veterans and played a lot of time in the third quarter.
If the main force can fight for a while, then fight for a while!
Curry scored one, could it be luck?
After entering the second one, has it really recovered?
Entering the third place, no, Curry seems to be really fine!
Fortunately, the players on the court paid attention to Curry's three-pointer.
What? Curry hit a two plus one!
It’s not that he wasn’t injured, but that he went down to increase his blood, right?
Even more vigorous than before!
There is no doubt that Curry is resurrected with full blood!
Popovich's alertness is still very high, and he will never hesitate to pause at this time.
Looking at Curry walking quickly back to the bench, Popovich looked livid and depressed.
You kid looks pretty good at pretending!
You actually gave me this trick!
Something is wrong!
I just watched Curry fall very hard!
My foot is also sprained, and it shows clearly on the replay!
Why did it get better so quickly?
It shouldn’t be!
Even if Deng Fang could cure it, it shouldn’t be so fast!
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be possible to recover blood infinitely?
How to play then?
Isn’t this cheating?
Cheating!
Does the referee care?
This is cheating!
Cheating!
In the clear world, is there any more royal law?!
However, there is nothing Popovich can do about it.
Who knows how serious Curry's injury is?
Who knows if Deng Fang cured it?
What if the scene where Curry was injured just now was an act?
Who can say for sure?
Besides, even if Deng Fang really cured me, what can you do?
You can sue him if he hurts you, but you can't allow him to treat his teammates, right?
The game still has to go on.
After the timeout, the Spurs' starting lineup came up: Hill, Ginobili, Jefferson, Duncan and McDyess.
These five people only rested for three or four minutes, much less than usual!
But there's nothing Popovich can do. This is a life-or-death moment for the series. If he doesn't play now, when will he play?!
The five people looked serious and kept repeating Popovich's words in their minds:
Curry is fine!
Don't underestimate him!
Be sure to guard Curry!
Give him a physical fight!
confrontation!
confrontation!
No matter what tricks you use, you have to guard against Curry!
Since you lose, you can’t lose!
But what these people didn't expect was that the Warriors didn't play Curry!
The Iron Locked Bronze Man Formation appears again!
Livingston, DeAndre Jordan, Azubuike, Laga Bell and Prince!
Seeing the Warriors' lineup, Popovich was so angry that his teeth itched:
Is Curry any better?
Why not?
It was a good fight just now!
Am I wrong?
Popovich had questions, and the five players on the Spurs court were also a little confused.
We agreed to guard Curry, but why didn't Curry play?
But the game must go on.
You can’t call another timeout, right?
Just because Curry didn't play?
If Curry is up, it's okay to call another one. But if someone else isn't up, why don't you still call a timeout?
The timeout in the second half is very valuable!
When the game started, it was very difficult for the Spurs to score.
The Tongren Iron Cable Formation is not something you just blew up!
Putting five good defensive players together will make your opponent desperate!
No matter who has the ball, the opponent is always taller than you!
No matter how you fight, others can defend you!
One failed to score, two failed to score, and the third still failed to score...
When you fail to score continuously, you will slowly lose confidence!
No one’s faith comes without reason!
No matter how good a player is, he will doubt himself if he doesn't score in a row!
Fortunately, it is not easy for the Warriors to score.
But Popovich is still anxious.
The Spurs are the main force here!
Curry hasn't come up yet!
But you can’t replace the main force again, right?
Soon, 6 minutes passed in the fourth quarter and the score became 95:99!
The Spurs are still 4 points behind!
Popovich had to call another timeout.
It’s time for Duncan and Ginobili to take a break!
The biggest problem for veterans is physical fitness!
After the timeout, the Spurs played Parker, Hill, Jefferson, Bonner and Blair.
Hill and Jefferson are still young and can play for a while.
Popovich’s task for these five people is to survive for 3 minutes!
As long as Duncan and Ginobili come back, there will be a fight.
Popovich had a good idea, but Deng Fang would not give him this opportunity!
This is the opportunity the Warriors have been waiting for!
The five players on the Warriors side are Curry, Belinelli, Prince, Radmanovic, and Lopez!
Another pure offensive lineup!
The shooting ability is stronger than the previous lineup!
The defense is not bad either!
There is a huge difference in strength between these two lineups!
The Spurs lineup has quite a problem on the offensive end. Blair has no shooting ability at all. Jefferson is not accurate in three-pointers this season. Parker is even more annoyed. There is no one five meters in front of him and he will never shoot a three-pointer!
Only Hill is reliable with three-pointers, but he also needs to keep an eye on Curry, which has a heavy defensive task.
In fact, the biggest problem with the Spurs' lineup is on the defensive end.
Blair has no shot-blocking ability and no defensive awareness. Bonner's defensive ability is even worse, and his ability to switch to the outside is almost zero!
Parker's defense has never been great.
Such a combination is used to defend against the Warriors' strongest offensive lineup, and the results can be imagined!
After Curry was strangled, Belinelli, Lopez and others kept firing from the outside.
What about switching defenses?
Then Curry can keep challenging Bonner or Blair.
The two of them were teased by Curry!
Curry made a three-pointer, then a layup, another three-pointer, and then a layup!
The Spurs can't defend and attack!
In less than three minutes, the Warriors scored 15:3!
For the Spurs, only Parker scored two points from the field goal.
The other point was obtained by Blair hitting the basket and making a foul free throw!
The score became 98:114!
The Spurs are 16 points behind!
Popovich called a timeout with a livid face.
Less than three minutes left in the fourth quarter!
It's already very difficult to get it back.
But no matter how difficult it is, you can’t just admit defeat, right?
If we lose most of them, we will fall behind 0:3. In that case, there will be no hope for this series!
After the timeout, the Spurs' strongest five took the field again: Parker, Hill, Ginobili, Jefferson, and Duncan.
Except for Parker, whose defense was poor, the other four defensive players were pretty good.
The Spurs are going to make a last ditch effort.
The Warriors are starting: Curry, Azubuike, Laga Bell, Prince and Lopez!
In order to prevent Curry from being injured, Deng Fang told Curry not to break through!
If the Spurs don't double attack, they'll just shoot three-pointers from the outside!
If Curry really wants to take action, Duncan can't guard him!
If the Spurs double team, pass the ball!
Don't hesitate for the four of Laga Bell, don't worry about the Spurs' defense, just catch the ball and shoot!
The more determined you are, the higher your hit rate!
