Two days later, Game 4 between the Warriors and Clippers officially began.
This is a game without any suspense, because never has anyone been able to come back from a 0:3 deficit!
No matter how tough Rivers talks, there is no possibility of a comeback in the series.
For Rivers, the only idea is to limit Curry and let Paul play one game.
As long as you serve the team boss well, your position will be fine. Rivers, as a man of genius, knows this best.
So in this game, Rivers gave Paul a lot of shots, replaced DeAndre Jordan, and at the same time flanked Curry throughout the game!
Deng Fang had already prepared, so he did not shout any slogans related to Curry before the game.
Deng Fang still understood this principle.
If Paul gets worried, it is possible that Curry will be reimbursed for the season.
Although Deng Fang can take action, it will only cost his ability points!
Of course, it's okay to keep a low profile, but it's impossible to let Paul go!
Aren’t you double-teaming Curry? I’m also double-teaming Paul!
Double-team Paul and find an unreliable three-pointer on the outside of the Clippers to let go, and that's it!
Anyway, our three-point shooting is relatively accurate, and none of our outside lines are weak!
Curry doesn't have to score, but Paul can't even think about scoring!
Let’s see which one is more threatening, Curry or Paul!
See who gets the most assists when double-teamed!
In order to create opportunities for Curry, Deng Fang rarely even used Iguodala!
Barnes, Hayward, and Clay, there is no problem with three-pointers from these three people!
Does Barnes feel bad?
Then let Middleton, Azubuike or Tucker come up!
We dare not say anything else, but there are so many 3D players!
Although there is no suspense anymore, the game is still very fierce.
The tactics of the two teams are basically the same. They double-team their star players and leave the perimeter open, but the results are completely different.
Why?
Because Curry is a greater threat than Paul!
Paul's three-pointer is not bad, but Curry is more accurate!
And it’s not exactly accurate!
More importantly, Curry's shooting speed is much faster than Paul's, and he is also much taller than Paul!
Just these three advantages make Curry's threat much greater!
Imagine there are two people, one is holding a pistol and the other is holding a machete. Although both men are very threatening when they take action, it is obvious that the one holding the pistol is more terrifying!
They are faster than you, have a farther range than you, and it is more difficult to defend if they shoot without preparation. No matter who you are, they will be the first to dodge and grab the gun!
Curry poses a greater threat. The opponent's double-team position is further outside and the double-team is more decisive. Then the Warriors will have a greater opening on the outside, and the possibility of assists after Curry passes the ball is greater!
The game was very intense, but also very fast, with both teams throwing outside shots one after another!
Although they throw a lot, the Warriors have more open spaces, are more accurate on the outside, and score much more efficiently!
After halftime, the score between the two teams became 78:61, with the Warriors leading by 17 points!
Curry played for a quarter and a half, taking only 5 shots and scoring 10 points, 12 assists, and 7 rebounds!
Paul on the opposite side played 20 minutes, took 9 shots, and scored 6 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds!
There is no way, the defensive ability of the Warriors' players is much better than that of the Clippers, and Paul faces greater defensive pressure.
Of course, the Clippers' Curry double-teamed very resolutely and made great moves, which allowed Curry to get several free throws and gave Curry a better chance to get assists!
Curry didn't take a break in the third quarter and led the team to continue fighting.
Paul gritted his teeth and threw two fairy balls, but he was quickly strangled by the Warriors.
The Clippers slowly hesitated: It's impossible to defend like this! Curry's assists are too easy!
When the Warriors take shots from the outside, almost no one is within three meters. How can this be done!
Although there is no suspense in the series, we are all NBA players, so we still have to be embarrassed, right?!
How could anyone let someone take such action?
How can one be scared to death by Curry?
If this spreads out, people will laugh to death!
As soon as the Clippers players hesitated, Curry's opportunity came!
You know, this is the third quarter, Warriors time! Curry time!
Curry seized the opportunity and took 6 three-pointers in just three minutes, hitting 5 of them, directly stopping the Clippers!
Curry's scoring power is so explosive that Paul cannot compare to it!
Curry broke out, the Clippers' offense was sluggish, and the point difference between the two teams instantly widened to more than 30 points!
After the timeout, the Clippers replaced two players and lasted another two minutes, and the point difference widened by another 5 points!
In desperation, Rivers had to surrender.
When the fourth quarter started, the score difference had reached 40 points!
Behind by a big score, more than half of the audience at Staples Arena left, and the remaining people shouted: "Curry MVP" from time to time!
There is no other way. When your opponent is so powerful that you cannot defeat him, you can only worship him!
Another away game was conquered by Curry!
Facing the cheers, Curry kept standing up to pay tribute.
Deng Fang also looked at the opposite side with a smile.
Rivers gritted his teeth bitterly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Paul's face on the sidelines was gloomy, and he got up and left the arena after a while.
Like James, Paul also returned to the locker room early!
They are indeed good brothers, even their reactions to losing are the same...
The game played very quickly, and in the end, the score was fixed at 144:103. The Warriors won by 41 points, swept the Clippers 4:0, and took the lead in advancing to the Western Conference semifinals!
All four games were big wins, or wild wins. The Clippers had no temper and no ability to fight back!
Rivers’ old face was so beaten that it was almost gone...
At the end of the game, Curry played for 30 minutes and scored 30 points, 21 assists, 11 rebounds, and 4 steals thanks to his explosion in the third quarter!
Getting 20+ assists in the playoffs, how terrifying!
With a triple-double of 30+20+10, Curry’s statistics are extremely eye-catching!
Obviously, the Clippers' double-teaming strategy failed!
As long as you give Curry a chance, Curry will get the points he wants!
Paul played 32 minutes and scored 17 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals.
Although it looks good, compared with Curry's data, Paul's data looks very shabby!
No matter how strong your teammates are, the comparison of this data can explain a lot of problems!
In front of Curry, Paul is just a younger brother!
The train runs fast because of the headband. No matter how strong the Warriors lineup is, Curry takes it with him!
The Warriors without Curry are nothing but a piece of sand; the Warriors with Curry are an invincible battleship!
In fact, the difference between the two can also be seen from Paul's attitude.
As long as he meets Curry, Paul will be full of energy and play very hard!
As a saying goes, your opponent's attitude towards you can best prove your strength!
The more your opponent values you, the more powerful you are!
Paul saw Curry as if he were an enemy, and he even wanted to kill Curry!
This fully demonstrates how strong Curry is and how much of a threat he poses to Paul!
