Seeing that the score difference widened to 15 points, Mike Brown quickly called a timeout.
The Warriors' offensive firepower is too fierce!
In the first quarter, the two teams fought hand-to-hand for most of the quarter, but didn't score much. Mike Brown was also used to that rhythm.
Who would have thought that the Warriors would start the day-to-day mode as soon as the second quarter started!
The pace changes so quickly!
James only rested for 3 minutes!
After the timeout, James appeared again, and Gibson, Anthony Parker and Jamison also came up.
Xiao Mo is going to go down to rest, but Big Z can't fight anymore.
Hixon's physical strength was not a problem, but Mike Brown still took him down.
He has no ability to attack independently and can't shoot. If he stays on the court, the penalty area will be blocked!
Mike Brown replaced O'Neal.
O'Neal only played for a while in the first quarter and then went off.
After resting for a game, O'Neal's physical fitness has almost recovered.
Lopez has played more than three minutes in the second quarter, and his physical fitness is not much better than O'Neal.
At this time, O'Neal should be fine playing singles in the penalty area.
In the first quarter, O'Neal failed to win in isolation, mainly because Lopez was in good physical condition and the Warriors' starting lineup also cooperated tacitly.
Now that Lopez's physical condition is not that good, and the Warriors are on the bench, O'Neal should have a place to play.
Mike Brown still has a glimmer of hope for O'Neal.
The former Shark was a powerful inside offensive weapon!
If they can open up inside, it will be much easier for the Cavaliers.
It's still tiring to rely on James alone to support the offense.
The Cavaliers boss spent so much money on O'Neal, as the head coach, you can't just abandon him, right?
Belinelli and Radmanovic on the Warriors court are not very good defensively, and Curry is not much better than these two.
With these three people on the court, even if they flank O'Neal, the effect won't be very good.
Mike Brown saw the weaknesses of the Warriors' lineup and made targeted arrangements.
Mike Brown's idea is good, but Deng Fang is not stupid.
The Warriors also came up with new players.
Radmanovic and Azubuike left the game, and Prince and DeAndre Jordan came up.
The Warriors launched the Twin Towers!
The twin towers and two shooters move without the ball, and Prince provides support from the top of the arc!
Do you dare to go to O'Neal?
Then I will grab this spot and beat it to death!
Let me see how you O'Neal defends!
Let’s see if he can catch Curry and Belinelli!
The Warriors lineup has worked together many times and is very familiar with each other.
Jordan and Lopez screened Curry and then walked to the basket!
Lopez also occasionally stretched outside the three-point line.
Whether he is shooting by himself or creating a wall for Curry and Curry, Lopez is a great threat from beyond the three-point line.
The Cavaliers' defense was suddenly in a mess.
O'Neal couldn't catch up, and the Cavaliers didn't dare to let go of Curry and Belinelli, so they could only make up for it by switching defenses.
But no matter how fast the defense change is, it can't beat the speed of passing the ball!
The Warriors continued to have openings on the outside, and Curry and Belinelli shot like crazy!
In 4 minutes, Curry and the two made 6 three-pointers!
Just over 7 minutes into the second quarter, Curry scored 15 points!
15 points in a single quarter!
No, 15 points in half a quarter!
Day-to-day mode is turned on again.
As soon as Curry's shot opened, the Warriors' offense came to life.
As long as Curry finds his touch, opponents will desperately attack Curry.
At this time, the defense line completely collapsed.
This is what the sound of the wind is like.
It's just that they can't guard against the Warriors' offense. The Cavaliers are also having a hard time on the offensive end.
The Cavaliers originally wanted O'Neal to play Lopez alone, but Deng Fang asked Jordan to come up and defend O'Neal!
Jordan's strength and jumping are better than Lopez, so it would be better to let him guard O'Neal!
The Warriors don’t even have to defend!
Even if O'Neal tried his best, he only committed two fouls on Jordan.
Two fouls don't matter.
Jordan was originally the team's second center, so four fouls in the half was not a big deal.
Besides, O'Neal's free throws are not that good!
Made two free throws out of four!
This is O'Neal's normal level!
There is nothing James can do with O'Neal on the court, and he doesn't have much room to break through.
Beating Prince from behind?
It's also difficult to deal with, Prince's defense is very good.
Fortunately, James felt good in the second quarter and hit two three-pointers.
But this doesn’t quench your thirst!
There are more than three minutes left in the second quarter, and the score difference has reached 20 points!
Mike Brown had to call another timeout.
After the timeout, Varejao came on and O'Neal was replaced again.
Facts have proved that against the Warriors, O'Neal's role on the court was negative!
Can't defend, can't attack!
Mike Brown's last illusions about O'Neal were shattered.
The Cavaliers made substitutions, and the Warriors also changed players.
Belinelli and Lopez took a break, and Azubuike and Laga Bell returned.
The Warriors once again started a pick-and-roll.
It's just that it was DeAndre Jordan who blocked the ball.
Jordan's offensive method is very simple, he can only go down.
However, Jordan's impact on the basket is stronger, and the Cavaliers are also difficult to defend.
Fortunately, Varejao's defensive skills are still good, and the Cavaliers' defense has improved a lot since he came on.
True and false, false and true, Varejao stunned Jordan for a moment.
You thought I was going to attack from a flank, but in fact I was just pretending to step forward!
You think I'm shrinking back, but actually I'm taking a step back and rushing forward!
It is difficult to deal with people who play based on their IQ.
The pick-and-roll between Curry and DeAndre Jordan was not very effective.
After trying two or three times without success, Curry signaled Jordan not to come up again.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t play pick-and-roll!
I'm done with it!
Defending Curry is Anthony Parker, and his defense is good.
But Curry doesn't care.
Kobe is not afraid of one-on-one defense, let alone Anthony Parker.
Signaling Azubuike and the other three to open up space, Curry started the one-on-one mode.
Anthony Parker stared at Curry closely, not daring to relax at all.
Curry took two steps back, and Anthony Parker also took two steps forward.
Curry bent down and took a few steps forward, and Anthony Parker immediately stepped back.
Curry pulled the ball back, raised his hand and shot!
Anthony Parker suddenly jumped up and reached out to block Curry's shot.
The basketball missed Anthony Parker's hand and flew out.
Anthony Parker's defense is very good!
But Curry shoots faster!
UI!
I'm just faster than you!
What can you do?
Of course, Curry's breakthrough threat is too great is also a reason.
Of course Anthony Parker doesn't want to give Curry a chance to shoot, but if Curry rushes forward, he doesn't dare to retreat!
Curry is moving forward, Anthony Parker is moving backward.
It is always more difficult for someone who is retreating to stop and then rush forward.
In addition, Curry was prepared, so Anthony Parker failed to block Curry's shot.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
