Looking back, Iverson felt helpless as he watched the basketball fall into the net.
What hand speed is this?
Are there any other three-pointers like this?
I said it was a triple threat, just threaten it, but you really voted?!
Of course, there is nothing you can do about it. If someone invests in it, you can only admit it!
However, this also inspired Iverson's fighting spirit!
You make a shot in front of me, and when I turn around I will put the ball in the basket in front of you!
The game continues.
As long as the Grizzlies have Randolph or Rudy Gay playing in isolation, the Warriors will double team them.
The double team was very decisive!
The two finally had to pass the ball back to Iverson again.
In desperation, the Grizzlies had no choice but to continue to let Iverson play in isolation.
This is also the result Deng Fang wanted.
I have to say that Iverson is in really good shape today.
Although he is no longer young and his speed is slower than at his peak, Iverson still has his skills, experience and feel.
Curry's explosive power is indeed a weakness, and he can only take a selective step back defensively.
Curry only needs to take a step back, and Iverson will feint a mid-range shot.
As long as Curry moves a little closer, Iverson will change direction and break through the basket.
Although Curry tried his best to prevent Iverson's breakthrough, Iverson still made two breakthroughs.
There is no way, Iverson's dribbling is too skillful, and his fake moves are too realistic.
The most important thing is that Iverson's mid-range shot was very accurate today.
When you hit three or four mid-range shots in a row, once you pull the ball back, your opponent will definitely step up to defend.
This is instinct!
There is no way!
And as long as your opponent steps forward to defend, your breakthrough will be much easier.
In just five minutes, Iverson scored 13 consecutive points!
That included a free throw.
However, although Iverson was smooth on the offensive end, he was not having an easy time on the defensive end.
Because Curry's three-pointer is so accurate!
After two consecutive triple threats, Curry hit two three-pointers face to face, Iverson had no choice but to get closer and jump higher.
However, once the defender reaches this point, it will be in trouble.
If you jump when someone touches the basket with your hands, how can you defend yourself?
But if you don't make a jump, you'll make a shot, and if you make a shot, you still score, how can you still play?
After scoring two three-pointers, Curry passed Iverson three times in a row and broke through.
As soon as the Grizzlies help defend, Curry distributes the ball to an open teammate.
Although Radmanovic, Anthony Morrow and Belinelli can't do anything else, they are good at shooting three-pointers!
As for Jordan under the basket, eating cakes is even better!
The game went very quickly. At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two teams became 37:26!
Compared with before, the score difference has not changed much.
Curry played the entire first quarter.
Calculating this way, neither Curry nor Iverson suffered a loss.
Iverson is much older, but Curry came on the court early and played five or six minutes, so the two should be about the same physical strength.
Judging from the results, the two are equally matched.
During this period of confrontation, Iverson scored more points and Curry's connection was better.
Of course, this is also caused by the different defensive strategies of the two.
Curry just defended and shot. After Curry made two three-pointers, Iverson didn't dare to let him shoot, so Curry started to break through and distribute the ball.
This also fully reflects the technical characteristics of the two people.
Iverson's breakthrough is amazing!
Curry's shooting is so threatening!
Even A Smith and Reggie Miller in the commentary box kept exclaiming: Iverson's sword is immortal! Curry is young and promising!
The duel between the two is really exciting.
Soon, the second quarter of the game began.
The Grizzlies replaced Conley and the White Bears Gasol, while the Warriors replaced Livingston, Lopez and others.
The Grizzlies' lineup focuses on the pick-and-roll of Conley and Gasol.
However, at this time, Gasol's offensive methods are relatively simple, and he can only rely on cutting inside to score.
In this case, the Warriors are better defensive.
Lopez was huddled inside and couldn't come out, and Livingston chased Conley alone.
Conley still has a certain three-point threat.
But it's only a threat, not fatal.
Rather than letting Gasol get the ball inside, it would be better to let Conley shoot three-pointers from the outside.
Another reason why Deng Fang dared to make such an arrangement is that Livingston is taller and has longer arms, and his defense is much better than Curry. Letting him chase Conley will have a great impact on Conley.
Even if he can't catch up, it doesn't matter if Conley shoots an open three-pointer.
Anyway, this way the game becomes a game where both teams play from the outside, and the tempo becomes faster.
This result is exactly what the Warriors want.
Under Deng Fang's defensive strategy, the game continued to develop in the direction of the Warriors.
Conley didn't feel good today, and he tried several open three-pointers but failed to score.
It was very difficult for the Grizzlies to score, while the Warriors played smoothly.
There is no way, this is the rhythm of the Warriors' game.
Five minutes later, the Grizzlies called timeout again.
The score has been extended to 48:31!
The Grizzlies had no choice but to trade for Iverson again.
Obviously, Iverson is better.
The Warriors also replaced Curry, DeAndre Jordan and others.
This time the Grizzlies no longer just handed the ball to the Black Bears inside, they started a pick-and-roll.
When the ball started to move, Iverson and Randolph started a pick-and-roll.
Curry's pursuit defense is not as good as Livingston's. As long as he is blocked by the Black Bear and the Warriors change defense, Randolph can do whatever he wants in the paint.
However, Deng Fang was already prepared for this.
It's still the old method, Jordan is unable to come out from the inside, and Curry chases and defends alone.
But Azubuike and others began to help defend.
As long as Iverson plays the pick-and-roll, Azubuike will come over to help defend.
Just give Iverson a certain amount of interference.
As for him passing the ball to others to shoot three-pointers, that's fine!
Rudy Gay, Sam Young and Carroll's three-pointers are inherently unreliable. Azubuike and the others are not completely switching defenses. As long as they can interfere with it and prevent Rudy Gay and the others from breaking through, it will be fine.
.
Again, proper assisting defense will give you a COSSCO shot!
If you can invest, you are considered great!
I have to say that the entire Grizzlies team's three-point shooting was not very good today.
I took seven or eight outside shots and only made one.
Randolph also couldn't get the ball inside.
It would be difficult for Iverson to play alone.
After all, there is assisted defense.
In desperation, the Grizzlies once again returned to Iverson's singles mode.
The Grizzlies' score finally started to get longer.
On the other hand, it's much easier for the Warriors.
Curry also cooperated with DeAndre Jordan in the pick-and-roll.
Jordan is not as versatile as Lopez, he can only cover and cut inside.
However, because of his better physical fitness, Jordan poses a greater threat to take advantage of the situation.
Especially against Randolph the black bear.
Randolph is not a fast-moving big man.
The Grizzlies also want to imitate the Warriors' defensive strategy, and the Black Bears can't get out.
But this is not a good choice.
Because it is quite difficult for Iverson to chase Curry.
Originally, Iverson was older and slower, making it difficult to catch up. In addition, Iverson was short in height, so even if he caught up with Curry, it would be difficult to interfere with Curry.
More importantly, Curry's shooting speed is extremely fast. As long as he is given a moment of space, the basketball will be thrown out!
