At 5 minutes and 18 seconds of the second quarter, Curry used his off-ball movement to once again find an open opportunity - the shot... didn't go in!
Another chance came a minute later, but still failed...
I don't know if it was an infection, but James' hot touch gradually disappeared, and he missed two three-pointers in a row.
It is rare for Curry to fail to make any shot, and it is also a small probability event for James to fail to make any shot!
This world is ultimately determined by high-probability events.
James' three-point touch disappeared, and he began to make more breakthroughs and draw fouls.
Do the Warriors have help on defense?
Then pass the ball suddenly and shoot for your teammates.
Although the shooting ability of these players on the Cavaliers' field is average, they are still better than their own forced shooting.
Curry still didn't kick the ball, except for free throws, he could only rely on his teammates to score.
Fortunately, it is not easy for the Cavaliers to score.
The 20-point difference remained unchanged.
Although the touch was not good, Curry was not soft-hearted when the opportunity arose and still took action decisively.
Finally, at 6 minutes and 25 seconds of the second quarter, Curry once again found an open opportunity.
Curry didn't hesitate, just caught the ball and shot.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
Curry finally made a three-pointer!
1 of 10 three-pointers!
10 shots were taken and only one was scored!
It stands to reason that the three-point shooting rate of 1 out of 10 shots is already pitifully low and is not a cause for concern at all.
However, Mike Brown was very alert. Seeing Curry hit a three-pointer, he decisively called a timeout.
This is not a good sign!
Curry hit a three-pointer!
Not even one!
This probably means Curry has found his touch!
As long as Curry finds his touch, it will be troublesome.
Of course, what's even more troublesome is that James' touch is gone.
When you can only break through and draw fouls, it becomes easier for your opponent to defend you.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers changed players.
Mo, Gibson, Anthony Parker and Jamison appear again.
James is still on the court!
I have to say, James' physical strength is really good!
Continuous fighting, still vigorous and vigorous.
The Cavaliers changed players, and the Warriors also changed their starting lineup.
Curry, Belinelli, Laga Bell, Prince, Lopez, the starting five appeared again.
Curry rested for a long time in the first quarter and had no problem playing the full second quarter.
Lagabel and others also had enough rest.
Azubuike's three-point shot was not very good, so Deng Fang asked Belinelli to continue.
The Cavaliers are playing a purely offensive lineup, with one star shooting everywhere and a lot of space.
What Mike Brown wants to solve is the offensive end.
James no longer has the magical touch. If he doesn't send in shooters, the Cavaliers' offense will be annoyed.
This lineup is now very suitable for James' breakthrough.
It was Prince who was guarding James, and he took half a step back.
James' three-point threat is no longer that great, so we have to focus on preventing his breakthrough.
Lopez is wandering near the penalty area, ready to defend and block shots at any time.
If James breaks into the paint, Lopez will come to help defend.
James passed the ball and Prince came over to cover.
James retreated beyond the three-point line, and the people nearby came to switch defense.
The Warriors' defensive strategy was the same as the last game.
As long as James can't make a three-pointer, it'll be easy!
Lopez's shot blocking is very good, and it is difficult for James to break into the paint and score.
What are you most afraid of?
The boss holding the ball can't make a shot or break through!
The reason why four-shot is called four-shot is that it has a very single function and is only suitable for catching and shooting.
Once there are no open shooting opportunities, four shots will be useless!
The Cavaliers' offense suddenly became difficult.
The Cavaliers' offense is not going well, but the Warriors have found the feeling!
The first one to bear the brunt is Curry!
After hitting a three-pointer, Curry finally found the long-lost feeling.
Curry who finds his feeling is unstoppable!
Facing Anthony Parker's defense, Curry didn't hesitate at all, he just feinted and shot!
Whether we get in or not is another matter. If I want to make a move, you can't prevent me!
Anthony Parker rested for a long time and just came up in the second quarter.
Curry had a bad touch when Anthony Parker was on the court in the first quarter and repeatedly missed shots.
So Curry added a breakthrough.
So Anthony Parker gradually began to take a step back to defend Curry.
During the first part of the second quarter, Anthony Parker was sitting and watching the game. Curry still had no touch. The only way to score was to break through and draw fouls.
So even if Curry hit a three-pointer, Anthony Parker still didn't take it seriously and still took a step back to defend.
Although Mike Brown reminded Anthony Parker for a long time and repeatedly told Anthony Parker not to give Curry a chance to shoot, he still didn't listen.
This is a human instinctive reaction.
Why should I stick to the defense if you can't make a shot?
What's the point of investing one?
Why is it so close to a 1-of-10 three-pointer?
In fact, Anthony Parker's reaction is quite normal.
It's a pity that he met Curry!
Curry has unparalleled confidence in his shooting!
It doesn’t matter if I shoot 1 out of 10, I will shoot if I get a chance!
I’ll definitely get in next one!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
Anthony Parker turned around and watched the basketball fall into the net bag, and suddenly felt a chill on his back!
broken!
Ku Ritian is back!
I made a fatal mistake!
He actually gave Curry a chance to shoot a three-pointer!
Anthony Parker was very upset.
But there was nothing we could do, the ball had already been scored, and there was no point in regretting it.
The game continues.
Curry, who has found his touch, is unstoppable!
Just after dribbling past half court, Curry pointed with his left hand to the left side of Anthony Parker.
What, Curry wants to use a screen?
Anthony Parker glanced aside subconsciously.
There is no one around!
Anthony Parker knew something was wrong immediately!
When I looked back, Curry had already taken action!
A real logoshot!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
Another three-pointer!
Counting the three-pointer before the timeout, Curry scored three in a row!
After Curry made this shot, the fans who were the slowest to react at Oracle Arena also knew what happened!
Ku Ritian is back!
The horn of counterattack has sounded!
The sky that has been gloomy for a long time is about to light up!
The enthusiasm of more than 10,000 fans in Oracle Arena was suddenly aroused. They cheered for the Warriors and shouted "Curry, MVP!"
The game continues.
James also knew that the situation was not good. He gathered his teammates together and told everyone not to panic and not to be scared by Curry.
Defend well and shoot decisively!
We are in the lead!
When it was the Cavaliers' turn to attack, James increased his aggressiveness on the offensive end and broke through more resolutely.
I just want to play the position, I just want to score by free throws!
However, several players on the Warriors court were not stupid, and they shrank even more.
Especially Prince, who took two steps back to defend James!
Prince is already faster than James and has an advantage in height and wingspan. If he takes two steps back, it will be even harder for James to break through.
If James can't break in, the Cavaliers' offense won't be able to open up.
