Fifteen minutes later, the second half of the game finally arrived, and countless fans in the Oracle Arena were looking forward to the Warriors and Curry completing the reversal in the third quarter.
However, what broke the hearts of fans throughout the Oracle Arena was that as soon as the third quarter started, the rhythm was completely out of control of the Warriors.
In the third quarter, the Warriors attacked first. At this time, the two sides were still fighting against each other with all their main players.
In the frontcourt, after Curry attracted double-teams, he passed the ball to Thompson in the high post. But Button's follow-up speed was extremely fast, leaving Thompson's open opportunity fleeting.
The next moment, Thompson, who is not good at breakthroughs, took a few dribbles and was easily taken away by Button.
Thompson couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Amidst the cheers of the home fans, he actually forgot that the team was lagging behind at this time and wanted to show off a breakthrough.
The result was not as expected, he failed to show off and was fucked instead!
However, this cannot be blamed on Taro Thompson. In fact, the Warriors have contributed too many games in three quarters this season, so the world is named "Yong San Crazy"!
In addition, the Warriors' head coach Steve Kerr and the star Curry both have a natural waver soul. Naturally, other players also have a bit of the waver atmosphere, making the whole team From top to bottom, the team has developed the habit of "going with the wind and making waves, and going against the wind and making waves even more".
This aspect is exactly the same as the Warriors team in the original time and space.
It's a pity that what they encountered today was not an ordinary opponent, but the Trail Blazers were no worse than them.
After Patton took out the basketball, he directly controlled the ball and advanced. Everyone knows that Trail Blazers No. 5 is an extremely athletic dunker. No, he also appeared in this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest!
I saw Barton riding a thousand horses, dribbling faster than anyone else in the field. As soon as his feet stepped into the free throw line, he was already gliding.
After stretching his body to the extreme in the air, the No. 5 guard exerted force on his arms and performed a standard tomahawk chop, causing Oracle Arena to fall into silence.
Looking back, Curry attracted double-teams and then passed the ball to find Barnes, who then passed to Thomson, got an open opportunity, and answered all.
However, Button's dunk completely sounded the clarion call for the Pioneer team's attack!
Wang Zelin started to demand attacks as soon as he entered the basket. The Warriors' Feltus Ezeli has a good defensive attitude and an abnormal wingspan. He averages 1.1 blocks in 16.7 minutes of playing time per game.
But if you want to help yourself, you are really thinking too much!
Because not to mention Wang Zelin's wingspan will always have an advantage, his physical strength alone is the "nemesis" of big bosses like Ezeli.
In fact, Ezeli has the standard center figure of this era, and he can fit inside the target space. His body can completely stick to it and is not easily pushed away.
However, his opponent tonight, Wang Zelin, is a powerful super monster even if you look at history. In addition, combined with Chamberlain's running and jumping ability, the current Wang Zelin can be regarded as an enhanced version of the Magic version of O'Neal.
The tonnage difference of tens of pounds means that in today's era, Wang Zelin cannot find a worthy opponent in a one-on-one matchup.
Ezeli swore that he really tried his best, but he had no way to use his shot-blocking ability, which he relied on for survival, because as long as the Blazers No. 36 in front of him bumped his shoulder or big butt, he would be easily bounced. open.
In this case, how can he defend well?
Now that space insiders are in charge, Wang Zelin can kill more easily and happily than O'Neal did in the late 1990s and early 1990s.
The big shark said that he was in tears. If labor and management lived in this era, it would not be easy to catch up with Jordan!
Emmm, Wang Zelin can help him fulfill this wish.
There was no way, the center was completely unable to stop this point, making it impossible for the Warriors to overtake the score.
No, let alone go-ahead, it's not easy for them to even hold on to the point difference without being widened.
What's even worse is that halfway through the third quarter, the Trail Blazers' perimeter group suddenly took shots.
Originally, after Cole saw that single defense could not restrain Wang Zelin, he decided to let Green or Barnes shrink the basket and flank Wang Zelin as soon as they had the opportunity, as he did in the first quarter. He had already left other Blazers players with open opportunities.
Maybe there is a trace of fantasy in his heart, imagining that Lillard and the others will have a mediocre touch like the first quarter and fail to seize open opportunities.
Unexpectedly, after half the game, Lillard, Barton, and Batum all recovered their touch. Every time Wang Zelin was double-teamed, they grasped the ball without exception.
In fact, this is normal.
No matter how you say it, Lillard is still an All-Star, and his self-adjustment ability is much stronger than that of ordinary players. He will never be able to keep open opportunities.
As for the double-ba combination, as the second and third starters of the defending champion team, how can they be ordinary people who can't make open shots and can't attack the basket?
The feeling thing sounds mysterious, but it is basically cultivated. As long as there are more opportunities, you should be able to get in.
When the Trail Blazers' perimeter trio took shots, the Warriors' pre-game defensive strategy completely collapsed.
Their original defensive strategy was to limit Wang Zelin's offense through quick double-teaming and wireless bypassing. As long as Wang Zelin couldn't hit this point, the Trail Blazers' other points would not be that strong, no matter how strong they were, and they would not be enough to kill the Warriors. .
The result is good now. Not only are the inside lines unstoppable, but so are the outside lines.
Seeing the score difference getting bigger and bigger, Cole launched the Death Five in advance, preparing to increase the rhythm and accelerate the attack.
Because he knows very well that the offensive stability of the outside is far inferior to that of the inside, especially when the opponent has a monster like Wang Zelin under the basket. If they continue to indulge in this game rhythm, as for the Warriors, there is no doubt that It's chronic suicide.
Simply, it is better to increase the rhythm of the game, which can increase the number of offensive rounds for the team in disguise.
If the Splash Brothers can shoot away, maybe the Warriors can rely on a wave of three-pointers to quickly tie the score, or even go ahead.
The Warriors actually want to increase the pace of the game?
After noticing the change in Warriors head coach Cole's strategy, Coach Terry didn't take it to heart.
The battle over rhythm has always been one of the most mysterious topics on the basketball court.
Even if there are two teams that play at a fast pace at the same time, they still have a rhythm battle. It depends on how to change the rhythm to what their team needs and is most comfortable with.
In this game now, even an ordinary fan can see the pace gap between the two sides at a glance.
The Warriors wanted to dribble quickly across half court and then attack, beating the Trail Blazers on a shaky footing. But the Blazers don't have old arms or legs. The core of the team is mostly young people, so there is no need to worry about their legs and feet not being able to keep up.
Secondly, the Trail Blazers have excellent defensive discipline, and there is no chaos at all.
As a result, it will be more difficult for the Warriors to find defensive loopholes. They are destined to become more and more chaotic in their pursuit of speed.
With one minute left in the third quarter, Wang Zelin successfully scored 2+1 under the basket, and his personal score reached his 30th point.
The score difference has been widened to 18 points. For the Trail Blazers, who currently have the strongest defensive efficiency and the lowest average points conceded per game, it can actually be said that they have clocked out early for the season!
