The Warriors lineup has been practiced for a long time, and it was finally released today.
The lineup before was for defense, now it is for offense.
No matter which lineup, Tucker, Hayward and Prince are all there, which shows the importance of these two people.
Without Tucker and Hayward, it would be difficult to put together this lineup.
The biggest advantage of this lineup is that Azubuike, Hayward, and Prince can all defend from one to four.
Tucker can even defend from one to five!
On the defensive end, there are almost unlimited defense changes. On the offensive end, everyone has a three-pointer. Coupled with Curry, a super blaster, this lineup is perfect.
The Spurs are also very uncomfortable with it.
The defense of the previous lineup was even better than this lineup, but the offensive end was much weaker, so it wasn't too difficult for the Spurs to defend.
You defend well, but my defense is not bad either!
But now the Warriors' offense is so much better!
Before, Kirilenko's three-pointer was unreliable, but now Kirilenko is no longer on the court!
The Spurs dare not miss any point!
Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Jefferson followed Curry closely.
It's impossible to let Parker guard Curry. He is too short and suffers a lot on the defensive end.
Tucker came up to block Jefferson, and Blair switched to Curry.
Tucker had a three-pointer, but Jefferson didn't dare to double-team Curry.
Curry took two steps to the side and pulled Blair outside the three-point line.
Blair lowered his center of gravity, stretched out his right hand, and kept moving his feet, trying to follow Curry's footsteps.
Curry dribbled the ball left and right, suddenly changed direction, pulled the ball to the right, and then rushed forward.
Blair immediately took two steps back.
Unexpectedly, Curry pulled the ball back again!
Collect the ball, raise your hand and shoot!
Blair is a short fourth position, and his defense has never been good. Such a player is a waste in front of Curry!
Blair thinks very highly of himself. The offensive end is okay, but he has not made much progress on the defensive end in recent years.
It was precisely for this reason that Blair was later given up by the Spurs.
When Blair saw Curry collecting the ball, he knew something was wrong and immediately pounced on him.
But it's too late!
If he were a player with good defensive awareness, it would be okay, but he might interfere with Curry's shooting.
But not Blair.
Blair is a relatively short player, and coupled with his poor defensive awareness, it is basically impossible to interfere with Curry's shooting!
As soon as Blair jumped up, Curry took action.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net!
At the same time, Blair also pounced.
Curry just took action and before he hit the ground, Blair hit him!
Curry was not prepared at all and was knocked away by Blair!
With a plop, Curry fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle also sounded.
"Three points are valid. Blair fouled and received an additional penalty!"
The score on the big screen became 109:111, with the Warriors leading by two points.
Curry on the ground on the other side looked very painful, covering his right foot and kept shouting!
The fans at the Oracle Arena immediately gave up, and the entire audience shouted "Blair out, Blair is rubbish."
The Warriors team doctor quickly ran up to examine Curry.
Blair looked innocent.
"I just jumped a little too fiercely. It's not my fault that Curry got hurt!"
"It's none of my business if you stumble on your own feet!"
Seeing Curry fall to the ground, Tucker rushed up immediately and wanted to argue with Blair.
The referee quickly stepped forward and separated everyone.
Deng Fang also immediately called a timeout.
What is supposed to come will come, and there is no way to hide it.
Although the Spurs are without Bowen, there is always no shortage of villains.
After checking for a long time, the team doctor had someone push the wheelchair up, helped Curry up, and pushed him towards the locker room.
When he came to Deng Fang's side, the team doctor said: "Curry sprained his foot when he landed and looked very painful. To be on the safe side, he needs an MRI."
"Okay, I understand." Deng Fang replied: "Ask someone to put Curry in the locker room, and I will come right away."
Having experienced similar incidents many times, the team doctor already knew exactly what to do.
After a brief arrangement, Deng Fang hurried back to the dressing room.
Curry is waiting for Deng Fang in the locker room.
Deng Fang took a look and saw that Curry's expression was a little painful. His right ankle was swollen, like a steamed bun.
Deng Fang didn't waste any time. He drove away the idle people, closed the locker room door, took out the black pills, and began to "exercise power" to treat Curry's illness.
In one minute, Curry's feet returned to their original shape!
Curry had already experienced the magic of Deng Fang's treatment several times, so he was not surprised.
The two of them said nothing and quickly ran back to the arena.
Seeing Curry back, Oracle Arena suddenly burst into cheers: "Curry is back! Curry is fine!"
Deng Fang glanced at the big screen and saw that the timeout had long passed and the game had restarted.
Deng and Fang spent more than 3 minutes going back and forth, and there were only 35 seconds left in the game!
The score on the big screen was 113:111, and the Warriors were two points behind.
Deng Fang quickly called a timeout!
Seeing Deng Fang's return, Ron Adams quickly reported: "After the timeout, we had to take a free throw, but Curry was injured and left the game. The Spurs designated Jordan to take a free throw, but Jordan missed the free throw. After the game started, Parker hit two consecutive shots.
We made a shot and overtook the score. Lowry on our side tried twice, but failed."
Deng Fang nodded and said he understood.
Lowry was replaced by Adams before Deng Fang left.
Without Curry, Lowry would have to control the ball.
Livingston doesn't have three points, which is a flaw.
The effect of letting Livingston play alone at critical moments is not very good.
As long as Livingston is taken on at the last moment, the opponent will definitely let Jefferson or Ginobili guard Livingston.
Livingston's advantage is his height and wingspan. If he is not guarded by a small point guard, his shooting rate in low post singles is not high.
The defensive intensity is very high at the last moment, and the referee usually does not blow the whistle.
Deng Fang called the team members and quickly arranged them.
Soon, the timeout ended and the game continued.
Deng Fang picked up the same lineup just now: Curry, Azubuike, Hayward, Prince and Tucker.
First is the Warriors' offense.
The Spurs players were not too surprised by Curry's return, and they did not panic.
Popovich's discipline is still very strong, and the Spurs players are also well prepared.
The Warriors staged several homecoming scenes last season, and every team in the league is used to it.
It is for this reason that the Spurs accelerated their offensive pace just now.
Before Curry comes back, quickly take control of the game in your own hands!
Now Curry is back, but the Spurs are also leading by two points, and there are only 35 seconds left in the game. This situation is still very beneficial to the Spurs.
