The Warriors got a small lineup, and the Cavaliers also got a starting lineup, with Mo Mo, Jamison and others appearing again.
At 39:39, the two teams once again stood on the same starting line.
Deng Fang took on the Warriors' best three-point shooter, for no other reason than to give Curry more room to break through!
As long as you dare to continue to let me play singles, then I will keep pushing in!
Let’s see if your three-point shot is more accurate or my breakthrough is more reliable!
When the Warriors used this strategy in the middle of the first quarter, James felt hot and hit several three-pointers.
Is your touch still that good in this section?
After a tight defense at the end of the first quarter, James' shooting dropped significantly.
No matter whether your opening shot is accurate or not, a person's shooting percentage will always return to his average!
Azubuike still took two steps back to defend, completely ignoring James' shot.
James didn't hesitate, glanced at the basket, raised his hand and shot!
James forgot one thing, that is, a person's luck will not always be good!
The three-pointer in the first quarter was so hot that James really thought he was Curry!
Basketball doesn't lie!
With a bang, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced very far!
Not even touching the frame!
Azubuike picked up the rebound and threw it directly to Curry who stole it!
When Curry saw James take action, he ran towards the frontcourt without thinking.
James was self-aware and returned to the backcourt immediately after taking the shot.
Curry received Azubuike's pass and was already near the midline, with only James in front of him!
Curry bent down and accelerated, rushing straight towards the basket.
In terms of physical fitness, Curry is definitely much better than James.
James didn't rest at all. Including the timeout, Curry took a rest for six or seven minutes.
I have to say that James' physical fitness is indeed quite good.
Even if Curry accelerated with all his strength, James still closely followed Curry's footsteps.
In the first quarter, Curry continuously broke through to the inside and scored many points. James did not dare to relax at all.
A one-on-one fast break must go to the basket!
Even if the shot fails, a foul will be committed!
Curry’s best three-point shot?
No, Curry didn't make a single shot in the first quarter!
Although he only took one shot, and Curry rushed towards the basket afterwards, no matter what, Curry's three-point shot did not go away!
In this case, everyone will prioritize defensive breakthroughs!
Prioritize defending the basket!
As long as you have played professional basketball for a few years, no matter which coach you are, this concept will be instilled in you!
Can't remember?
Say it eight times a day!
If you can’t remember anything else, you must remember this!
For many players, it is already an instinctive reaction to retreat to the basket first during fast breaks and prioritize defense against breakthroughs.
James is no exception!
What's more, it's a Curry who didn't score a three-pointer!
James ran forward very fast!
Unexpectedly, Curry suddenly stopped two steps before reaching the three-point line!
James suddenly felt bad!
However, because he rushed forward too hard, without any preparation, James was already two meters away from Curry!
No matter how fast James reacts, it's too late!
Curry did not hesitate, collected the ball, glanced at the basket, raised his hand and shot!
You haven’t made a three-pointer so far in the game?
Only took one three-pointer in the first quarter?
Worried that you won’t make a shot?
nonexistent!
I am the king of three points!
I am the best three-point shooter in the world!
As long as there is no one in front of you, you can vote at any time!
As long as I take the shot, the basketball will go in!
Curry has unparalleled confidence in his shooting!
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
A three-pointer with two steps outside the three-point line!
Fast break one-on-one three-pointer!
This depends on how confident you are in your three-point shooting!
How much freedom does the head coach have to give Curry to shoot?
42:39!
The Warriors lead by 3 points!
This is the Warriors' first lead of the game!
Watching the basketball flying in front of his eyes fall into the net bag, James shook his head helplessly.
There is no way, no one can prevent this!
We fight with swords, while others use sniper rifles!
How can we fight this!
Although this was Curry's first three-pointer of the game, James already had a premonition.
Things are not going well!
Curry is about to open!
Curry's touch is back!
The game is almost over!
The game continues.
The Cavaliers attack, the Warriors' defensive strategy remains unchanged, and Azubuike still takes two steps back to defend.
After he missed the three-pointer just now and watched Curry make a super long three-pointer in front of him, James began to hesitate.
Are you still shooting three-pointers?
Is my three-point touch still there?
Am I as accurate as Curry?
One-on-one fast break three-point shot?
Is that what people do?
Is there anyone who is more confident in his three-point shot than his layup?
How can it be!
How nice to push inward!
Is competing with Curry a three-pointer to seek death?
Otherwise, just push inward...
But what the hell is Azubuike doing if he keeps hiding in there?
Prince and Curry also retreated, always ready to help defend.
How unexpected is this!
Otherwise, let’s just shoot a three-pointer...
James began to hesitate.
No matter who it is, as long as the shot is not decisive, the shooting percentage will not be very high!
James is no exception.
After trying twice, he couldn't get in. Seeing that the time was about to come again, James had no choice but to collect the ball and shoot a three-pointer!
Who would have thought that this time Azubuike would pounce on him!
As soon as James collected the ball, Azubuike took a step forward.
As soon as James picked up the basketball, Azubuike took off!
Obviously, Azubuike was prepared in advance!
I will defend the second three-pointer!
I'm going to give you a kick in the ass!
In the first quarter, Azubuike stayed inside and couldn't come out. James didn't even care about shooting three-pointers!
It doesn't matter if James feels hot, he just has a determined attitude!
So James didn't expect that Azubuike would pounce!
Aren't you guys not guarding against my three-pointers?
In the first quarter, I didn't guard against it. In the second quarter, the first ball was two meters away from me, and I didn't even stretch my hand!
Can’t we have some integrity as a human being?
James didn't expect Azubuike to pounce at all. He picked up the ball and shot it.
But Azubuike is prepared and very fast!
If you are prepared, with James' physical fitness, his shot will not be easily blocked.
But James was not prepared!
If you are calculating mentally but not deliberately, and the prepared ones deal with the unprepared ones, it will not be difficult for a 1.8-meter guard to beat a 2.2-meter center forward!
A tall center like O'Neal or Yao Ming was overshadowed more than once by a 1.7-meter-tall little potato!
If it is under the basket, whether it is a layup or a dunk, the basketball in the offensive player's hand is about the same height as the basket.
Theoretically, as long as you can dunk, and the palm you extend when you jump up is higher than the basket, you can block everyone's layup or dunk!
