Ariza is not as strong as Tucker, but he is worse than Tucker in terms of flexibility and experience!
After all, he has played in the NBA for so many years and won a championship with the Lakers!
When he was with the Lakers, Ariza was a defensive leader and a qualified 3D player.
If it's hard to deal with other teams, it's no problem to deal with this Heat.
Because the Heat use one-star shooting, except for the big center Bosh, who is a real inside player, everyone else is an outside player.
With Yao Ming standing in the penalty area, Ariza has no worries and dares to defend.
When the game resumed, the Warriors' defensive intensity remained unchanged, but the referee's whistle changed somewhat.
There is no way, the Warriors have already suffered a lot, and this is at Oracle Arena!
On the Warriors' side, Lopez Jr. has been called for a first-level flagrant foul, and Tucker has been ejected!
While Curry was jumped several times, the Heat were only called for a few common fouls!
The fans at Oracle Arena had long since given up, and the audience kept chanting, "The referees are trash, LeBron gets out!"
Even for the sake of their own life safety, the referee does not dare to favor the Heat!
That's almost enough. The tasks assigned by the alliance have been exceeded. Next, we must enforce the law fairly!
Facts have proved that as long as the referee enforces the law fairly, the Heat have no chance!
The five players on the Warriors court are all capable of both offense and defense. Even Curry's defense is above average among point guards!
Many people think Curry's defense is not good. That's because the Warriors have always been in the spotlight, and the rest of the Warriors defend very well!
Singles Clay?
Sorry, even if you are a center, it is not easy to reach the basket easily!
Prince, Ariza, Tucker, Kirilenko and others all play very good defense and are all famous defensive warriors in the league!
As for Yao Ming, before he lost weight, he still had a weakness, which was his slow speed. After losing weight, Yao Ming paired with the Warriors' fierce defensive front group, the Warriors' defensive system is simply perfect!
He is not slow and has an absolute height advantage. Although he does not have a weight advantage, several forward defenders rarely lose their position. Yao Ming only needs to wait inside to block shots!
If the referee is not biased, the Warriors' defense will be a nightmare for the opponent!
Under the Warriors' defensive intensity, it was very difficult for the Heat to score.
On the other side, the Heat couldn't guard against the Warriors' offense!
James also wanted to hurt Curry, but the referee didn't give him a chance this time!
Curry was running without the ball, and James pulled him with his hand. It was a foul!
Curry shot, James stepped on the ball, a first-level flagrant foul!
In just three minutes, James accumulated 2 fouls!
Including the previous 3 times, James has already committed 5 fouls!
If you strike again, you will be punished!
Moreover, a flagrant foul directly caused the Warriors to throw two free throws, and the point difference quickly expanded to more than 30 points!
With more than a minute left in the third quarter, the game basically lost its suspense.
Although James didn't want to give up, Spoelstra replaced him.
Forget it, this game is hopeless.
Even the referee didn't help!
If he gets another flagrant foul, whether he can play in the next game is a question.
If James can't play, there will be no suspense in the series.
As long as the green hills remain, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood!
When you should give up, you have to give up.
The third quarter ended quickly, and the score became 88:119, with the Warriors leading by 31 points.
In the fourth quarter, both teams came on the bench and the game was played very quickly.
In the end, the score was fixed at 107:143, and the Warriors won by 36 points!
The series score became 2:0, and the Warriors had a huge advantage.
At the end of the game, Curry played for 24 minutes and two quarters, scoring 31 points, 15 assists, and 11 rebounds, another triple-double.
The Heat's top scorer was James. He played 35 minutes, made 1 of 8 three-pointers, scored 19 points, 3 assists, 12 rebounds, and 4 turnovers.
Whether it's in terms of data or efficiency, Curry completely beats James!
…
At the post-game press conference, James' hurdles once again became the most attractive topic:
"Did you step over Curry on purpose?"
"No!" James replied: "I don't step over others on purpose. I'm not that kind of person."
"But in fact you stepped over Curry, and it seemed completely unnecessary!"
"That was an accident!" James replied: "I just wanted to pick up the ball and accidentally stepped over Curry."
"Can't you see a big living person on the ground?"
"I saw it, but I was in a hurry to pick up the ball, so I didn't avoid it!"
"But the referee has already blown the whistle. Why are you so anxious about picking up the ball?"
"I want to give the ball to the referee, what's wrong with that?"
"Do you have to pick up the ball?"
"Why can't I pick it up?" James replied domineeringly: "The only thing to blame is Curry lying on the ground, blocking my way!"
"But Curry was brought down by you!"
"That's because I was shaken up and I had no choice but to commit the foul."
Clear mind and touching logic!
The reporter couldn't ask any more questions.
"Did Tucker do that on purpose?"
"He must have done it on purpose!"
"Was Tucker's ejection correct?"
"Correct!" James replied: "Not only must he be expelled, the league should also conduct a special investigation and he should not be allowed to participate in the next game!"
"Why?"
"Because his actions are very bad!"
"You step over Curry, and his teammates are so angry that they can't even stand up for him?"
"It's not okay to hit people!"
"Then you should step over Curry?"
"These are two different things!"
"But Tucker was angered just because you stepped over Curry!"
"That's his problem. He made a mistake and it has nothing to do with me!"
Well, as expected of an emperor, he really knows how to excuse himself!
"What was the referee's decision in this game?"
"It's terrible!" James replied: "The referee was too biased in favor of the Warriors. I was almost ejected. The Warriors' home court advantage is too obvious!"
"But every foul you made really hit someone!"
"With my defensive ability, I shouldn't have committed so many fouls!" James replied: "That's because the referee deliberately targeted me!"
"You almost beat Curry to death, but you can't even call you two fouls?"
"I said, hurting Curry was an accident, I didn't mean it!" James replied.
"Even if it was not intentional, it is undoubtedly a foul!"
"Next question!" the emperor replied domineeringly.
