call out.
The referee whistle sounded.
Golden State Warriors substitution.
Dennis Grant, who was replaced, looked unhappy and didn't even shake hands with Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang also knew this guy's urinary nature and didn't even extend his hand in response.
As soon as he came on the court, the fans in the Oracle Arena began to applaud.
The outstanding performance in the last game also made the fans look forward to the next game.
call out.
The Warriors attack.
Zhao Feiyang advanced with the ball, and just after halftime, Isaiah Thomas came to him to mark him.
After experiencing the previous performance of crushing Dennis Grant, Isaiah Thomas was full of confidence at this time. Even though he knew that the man in front of him had played in the finals, he did not regard Zhao Feiyang as a threat to him.
Isaiah Thomas is full of offensive power, constantly reaching out to interfere with Zhao Feiyang's dribbling, trying to steal the ball by taking advantage of his short stature and low center of gravity.
Zhao Feiyang was not in a hurry. He first distanced himself for a while, then pretended to break through in singles, but in fact, he suddenly shot the ball together.
Isaiah Thomas didn't expect it. By the time he pounced, Zhao Feiyang's ball had already been thrown out.
Uh-huh.
A crisp three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
The whole crowd cheered.
"Maurice, give me the ball."
Isaiah Thomas stood under the basket and shouted to his teammates. He seemed to attach great importance to Zhao Feiyang's goal, and his face showed a strong desire to fight.
Snapped.
The basketball falls into the hands of Isaiah Thomas.
When he got the ball, he quickly advanced. Zhao Feiyang knew his intention and followed him closely.
But he still underestimated the ability of Isaiah Thomas. Although this short player who is less than 1.75 meters has a height disadvantage, he already knows how to turn his disadvantage into an advantage.
If you are taller, your center of gravity will naturally be lower.
Isaiah Thomas and Zhao Feiyang reached the basket one after another. The moment Zhao Feiyang jumped to block him, Isaiah Thomas took advantage of his lower center of gravity and pushed Zhao Feiyang before taking the opportunity to pick up the basket.
The simple action is indeed effective. Zhao Feiyang stretched out his hand and just missed Isaiah Thomas, but he still watched Isaiah Thomas score a layup.
Such a goal also made Zhao Feiyang excited.
It's fun to run into a challenging opponent.
Snapped.
When he got the ball again, he accelerated towards the half court. He did not sprint with speed like Isaiah Thomas, but deliberately slowed down and waited for the opportunity.
Just after halftime, Isaiah Thomas stepped in and stretched out his hand to interfere. Zhao Feiyang was waiting for this opportunity. As soon as Isaiah Thomas stretched out his hand, Zhao Feiyang directly shook him away with a cross step.
Isaiah Thomas obviously didn't expect Zhao Feiyang's dribbling to be so good, and he immediately responded to defend.
Zhao Feiyang had no intention of understanding it all at once, so he deliberately slowed down and waited for Isaiah Thomas to come up.
However, the next second, Zhao Feiyang performed a "Buddha" movement. Isaiah Thomas was completely unexpected. He thought that Zhao Feiyang was really going to raise the basketball and pounced on Zhao Feiyang with all his strength.
The whole audience exclaimed.
All fans saw Zhao Feiyang flying Isaiah Thomas.
Uh-huh.
A three-pointer was thrown.
Zhao Feiyang helped the Warriors score 3 points again.
Isaiah Thomas still refused to admit defeat. Two minutes later, the Suns attacked again. Isaiah Thomas continued to exploit every opportunity as before, using his physical advantage to break through to the basket.
This time, he avoided the big man inside who came up to defend, but just as he tried to end the attack with a backhand layup, Zhao Feiyang pounced from the wing and slapped the basketball away from his hand.
The basketball fell out of bounds.
Although the ball is still in the hands of the Suns, everyone can see that in these duels, Isaiah Thomas is clearly at a disadvantage.
It was also from this ball that Isaiah Thomas' fiery state was no longer replaced by various missed shots and mistakes.
Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek saw this and had no choice but to replace Isaiah Thomas.
Beep.
The first half is over.
Zhao Feiyang went up and played for about 7 minutes, scoring 16 points personally and giving 2 assists to his teammates.
Originally, the Warriors were overtaken by the Suns, but Zhao Feiyang's wave of operations after his appearance also successfully allowed the Warriors to regain the lead.
After the second half started, Zhao Feiyang continued to play the No. 1 position.
Head coach Steve Kerr saw that Zhao Feiyang was in great form, so he specially arranged a new lineup and created a temporary team with him as the core of the offense.
The center is played by substitute insider David Lee. Although he is a substitute, his data is higher than that of starting insider Andrew Bogut.
Andre Iguodala will serve as the striker, replacing Draymond Green.
This move is not only because Andre Iguodala and Zhao Feiyang cooperate more tacitly, but also because Draymond Green will deliberately not cooperate with Zhao Feiyang on the court.
This kind of conflict that shouldn't occur directly caused head coach Steve Kerr to move the newly promoted Draymond Green to the bench again.
The other striker is played by Harrison Barnes.
He is already a starting member of the team, his strength is not an issue, and his cooperation with Zhao Feiyang is pretty good. In short, there is interaction.
Of course, the No. 2 position was not given to anyone else, and was still held by Klay Thompson.
After such a new lineup arrangement was released, no one expected that in the third quarter, the Warriors would transform from a team full of mistakes into a team with very efficient cooperation.
On the field.
After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors gradually dominated the offense.
In order to extend his playing time, Zhao Feiyang specially used the Ray Allen experience card and the Allen Iverson experience card separately.
In order to get used to the new lineup, he first used the Ray Allen experience card.
After the ball passed halftime, Zhao Feiyang changed his previous playing style and deliberately attracted double-teams from the opponent.
As soon as the Suns' defensive players came up, Zhao Feiyang immediately gave the ball to Klay Thompson on the wing.
Klay Thompson looked for an opportunity, but failed to find a suitable shooting position, so he moved the ball out again.
Harrison Barnes, who was on the other side, received the basketball and broke through to the basket. Just when he was about to lay up, he was blocked by the opponent's big man.
He immediately chose to pass the ball.
The basketball was given to Andre Iguodala, who was standing on the opposite side and was now rushing towards the basket.
Andre Iguodala caught the ball on the run.
Then, in front of the astonished eyes of the fans in the audience, he jumped up high, rode on the Suns' defensive player, and smashed the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk.
The whole audience exclaimed.
The Warriors' bench all stood up.
Head coach Steve Kerr showed a rare expression of shock.
"Holy shit!"
"Did it explode like this?"
Zhao Feiyang was also stunned by Andre Iguodala's dunk.
