Mo and Gibson are both short in height and cannot compete or bounce well. Jamison is a pure offensive player and is also very weak on the defensive end.
If West is taken down, only James and Anthony Parker will be able to wipe their butts on the defensive end.
The most obvious manifestation is that the Cavaliers' defensive intensity has dropped a lot.
There is a huge difference between three people wiping the butts of two people and two people wiping the butts of three people!
Gibson cannot guard Curry alone, so the Cavaliers can only let Anthony Parker guard Curry.
James should stay near the penalty area to help defend.
Curry and Lopez were in a pick-and-roll, and Anthony Parker and Jamison could only flank Curry.
Lopez went down, James helped defend, and Lopez immediately passed the ball to the outside shooter after receiving the ball.
Azubuike, Laga Bell and Prince easily got open shooting opportunities.
When West was on the court before, the Cavaliers had three players who defended very hard, but now there are only two, and both of them have their own tasks.
James will help defend Lopez in the penalty area, and Anthony Parker will keep an eye on Curry from beyond the three-point line.
Let Mo, Gibson and Jamison attack the Warriors from the outside, and you can imagine the intensity.
These three people have never been ruthless, and their attacks are not ruthless enough.
In the first quarter, driven by West and James, these guys were able to follow suit.
Now the Warriors are more desperate than the Cavaliers and are more ruthless. These people are suddenly intimidated!
Let’s have a good time playing ball!
It would be bad if someone gets hurt!
Can't you be nice and peaceful?
Although the environment can also change people and make them do things they are not good at, it is difficult to do so for a long time.
Nature is the most important!
It's useless to just rely on the coach to give you chicken soup and the boss to yell from the side.
The Cavaliers' defensive intensity has dropped a lot, and the Warriors don't have to worry about the Cavaliers defending too hard on the outside.
Without the mental pressure, the Warriors' outside shooting percentage skyrocketed!
The first three three-pointers were missed, and the next five were scored in a row!
Fortunately, the Cavaliers' offense is also a little better.
With Gibson on the court, the Warriors didn't dare to attack James so fiercely.
When it comes to solo defense, James still has a lot of tricks to break through.
Apart from anything else, it's okay to break through and draw fouls.
The Cavaliers can also keep scoring by relying on free throws.
However, this scoring efficiency is too low, at least compared to the Warriors.
In 5 minutes, the Warriors hit another wave of 17:8!
The score became 81:89!
The Warriors are only 8 points behind!
A single-digit point difference is no longer a problem!
At least that's the case for the Warriors.
Especially when there is more than one quarter left in the game!
The Cavaliers called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers changed their defense. They no longer flanked Curry. As long as the Warriors picked and rolled, the Cavaliers would switch defense.
If O'Neal can't defend Curry alone, Jamison shouldn't be that bad, right?
After all, Jamison is still a No. 3 player!
Mike Brown didn't want to do it, but he had no choice.
The Warriors' outside shooting is so accurate that the Cavaliers no longer dare to let go of the Warriors' outside shooters!
This is the fear of being cast!
Want to use box-1 tactics for Curry?
Then you have to ask the Warriors’ perimeter shooters first if they agree!
Obviously, Mike Brown still underestimated Curry's strength!
Curry and Lopez set a pick-and-roll, and Jamison switched to Curry.
Looking at Jamison in front of him, Curry's eyes sparkled!
When will such a good thing happen again?
This is the finals!
You can actually let me single out an inside player who doesn't defend well?
Comrade Mike Brown, you are such a good person!
Curry will not miss this opportunity. Fainting in front of Jamison, he raises his hand and shoots!
Jamison is 2.03 meters tall and is a pure offensive player. He has never been very good on the defensive end.
It's a bit difficult for ordinary guards to defend, let alone Curry!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
A three pointer!
Curry was rude and took another three-pointer in the next round!
Another hollow hit the net!
This opportunity is simply too good to be true!
It’s almost the same as training!
After scoring three three-pointers in a row, Jamison was very close.
Curry was not polite and rushed over easily!
No need to even feint!
Since the Warriors shoot very accurately from outside, James doesn't dare to stray too far from his defender.
The Cavaliers penalty area was empty, Curry drove straight in, and when he got to the basket, he dunked!
No, it’s Miankou!
Although the dunk is not that cool, it is still a dunk after all!
The Warriors bench suddenly jumped up!
Oh my god!
Curry dunked!
This is the finals!
The little prince dunked!
After dunking, Curry was also very excited. He bumped shoulders with Azubuike and scampered back to the backcourt!
As long as Curry's three-pointer opens, the Warriors' offense will be alive!
In the next round, Curry still broke into the penalty area, but James came back to help defend.
Curry made a behind-the-back pass and threw the ball directly to Laga Bell outside the three-point line.
There was no one around Lagabel, so he raised his hand and threw without hesitation!
This rhythm is the most comfortable for pitchers!
The basketball hits the net!
Led by Curry, the Warriors were firing on all cylinders, and the Cavaliers simply couldn't defend them!
Fortunately, James can also score by relying on free throws.
With four shooters outside, James still has enough room to break through.
In a short time, Prince received 4 fouls!
Fortunately, Lagabel and Azubuike did not commit many fouls.
The Warriors' most fouled players are bench players.
The Warriors fought very hard in the second quarter, with several substitute players almost committing four fouls!
Just one section!
But there is also an advantage to this, that is, the starters are not in foul trouble.
The Warriors started using Laga Bell to guard James.
Although James can also score by relying on breakthroughs and free throws, it is obvious that the Warriors score faster.
Soon, the third quarter ended and the score became 97:97!
The two teams drew and returned to the same starting line!
In one quarter, the 30-point difference was wiped out!
The Warriors scored 49 points in a single quarter!
The best player for the Warriors in this quarter is Curry!
Curry made 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 26 points!
In addition, Curry also sent 6 assists!
Most of the Warriors' scoring is related to Curry!
The Warriors scored 49 points in a single quarter. In comparison, the Cavaliers only scored 19 points in a single quarter.
12 of these points were scored by James through free throws!
In fact, 19 points in a single quarter is not too few, after all, this is the finals.
But the Warriors' 49 points were really terrifying!
After the third quarter of the game, James looked unhappy and looked at the referee with eyes on fire!
What do you do?
Have you forgotten your mission?
How did you blow the whistle?
Do you still want to continue doing this?
Why are you becoming more and more cowardly?
See clearly, this is our home court!
After struggling for a long time, no one from the Warriors team has been sent off yet!
