Chapter 731: Smart smile

The Bulls had a game that was dragged to death by a 5-point disadvantage.
5 points is the most uncomfortable gap for the lagging side.
The gap is smaller, you can chase it back in one round, full of energy.
The gap is bigger. Anyway, we can't get back in one or two rounds. We calm down and play slowly.
Five points is uncomfortable, the players are uncomfortable, and the fans look uncomfortable.
After Cole's suspension ended, the Warriors' attack came back to Thompson.
Get rid of JR Smith's defense, receive Green's pass from a high position, and hit a mid-range jumper.
In this attack, Curry ran several laps around the half, holding the ball, passing the ball, and giving Thompson a pick-and-roll screen.
There are always two defensive players around Curry, which gives Thompson an offensive shot.
According to Cole's idea, if the Pacers continue to insist on such a defense against Curry, then simply let Thompson kill the Pacers.
But the Pacers immediately gave a response. After Danny Granger received the pass from Li Liang, the ball broke through in the middle, and he made a jump shot from the free throw line.
The Pacers' offensive routine is very simple, with Li Liang as the core. Li Liang attracts the defense as much as possible, and then other players take the ball and attack on their own when they have the chance.
Without too many routines, holding the ball, breaking through, passing, holding the ball to break through again, and making an emergency stop constitute the main landscape of the Pacers' offense.
The disadvantage is that the routine is really monotonous, and I feel that the whole team is not too smart.
The advantage is that even if you are not very smart, you can still score goals, and it saves energy, so you can invest more in defense.
The Warriors are also not very smart. Green grabbed the ball and rushed out of the way. As a result, he encountered the problem that he had encountered before-he was too short. After he rushed in, he was thrown indiscriminately.
This time he threw it to Barnes on the left corner. As a result, Barnes almost missed the ball and stabilized. There was no chance for Turan. Then he threw the pot to Curry.
The tight defense of Hill in the library, repeated dodges, fake moves, and missed a three-pointer...
In the regular season, Curry's three-point percentage was comparable to Li Liang's.
In the playoffs, the finals, the gap between the two appeared.
Not because Curry is not good at shooting, but because there is a natural gap in physical fitness. Curry has too many shots to get rid of.
This ball was replaced by Li Liang, and he threw it directly when he got it. The fake actions of dodge and get rid of were all things that affected the feel of the hand.
The Pacers' counterattack came quickly. Li Liang held the ball in the middle and the Warriors shrank the defense.
This time Li Liang quickly scored the ball to Danny Granger, who was going down the corner. Granger threw a three-point corner of the right corner and threw it again.
Danny Granger scored 5 points in a row!
This three-pointer made a one-pointer, and the point difference opened to 8 points.
Li Liang also knows that Granger feels good, so he feeds the ball continuously.
After scoring, the two gave a high-five. In the Clippers, Granger did not get much chance to play in the finals. Returning to the Pacers this year is really the second spring.
Warriors fans need to worry.
Then, the Warriors' offense still missed.
After Li Liang held the ball from a high position, he passed it to McGee, and McGee even turned the ball to catch a shot!
Jabal McGee hooked, scored and scored two points!
With 10 points, the difference is again 10 points.
Sure enough, as Li Liang thought, this is a key node. The Warriors Curry still did not find an offensive feeling, and the Pacers became more and more relaxed, looking for opportunities, and once again opened the difference.
At 40:30, Oracle Arena was silent again.
"The Warriors need to find their sense of the game. Now the situation and rhythm of the game are all under the control of the Pacers. Curry must stand up."
Jeff Van Gundy felt something was wrong with the Warriors. Thompson did score and would score, but he only scored, and couldn’t revive the team like Curry.
The problem is that Curry just couldn't stand up, and the Pacers didn't relax his defense.
Taking advantage of your illness, Curry missed a three-point shot from outside, Li Liang got a backboard and counter-attacked the basket to cause Iguodala's foul. All two free throws were made and the difference spread to 12 points. Too.
Fans on the spot are wondering, have you been watching fake warriors all season?
Destroy the dead, three points like rain, three sections open, are they all false?
Also, why are the Pacers so strong? Can they rub the warrior against the ground?
Of course, the game is far from over.
But it must be admitted that the Pacers are very good at the Warriors, that is, they have identified the two most important points of the Warriors-Curry and Green.
These two are the warriors. The reason why they are the souls of the current warriors. The two of them do not play. With the thickness and depth of the warriors, they are still a strong team, but not a strong team that can withstand the decay of the game.
On the contrary, the Pacers play very normal, as long as Li Liang is normal, this team is normal.
This may be one of the advantages of a single-core team, a normal family is fine.
After the point difference opened to 12 points, the Warriors stepped up their defense and Thompson hit another mid-range jumper.
Then under the basket, McGee took Li Liang's pass for a layup and was blocked by Azeri. After a counterattack, Thompson made a long pass across more than half, Iguodala jumped high, and the air relay dunked his hands!
This ball makes people feel as if they are back to the 76ers, the connection between big AI and small AI, but that was a long time ago.
After chasing 4 points in a row, the point difference was reduced to 8 points, and Bird called a timeout to adjust it.
Less than three minutes left until the end of the second quarter.
After Li Liang received the ball, the outside three-pointer attempted a three-point attempt and missed a shot. It can be said that the scene was greatly relieved. Li Liang could hear the fans' gasping voices. ?
Then, the Pacers fouled Curry on defense.
Hill's main defense, Smith rushed to help defense, too strong, almost overwhelmed Curry.
The TV station gave Curry's shot tonight-no three-pointers have been scored, and the feel is quite poor.
Cole wanted to use Thompson's idea of ​​liberating Curry, probably because he was going bankrupt, Bird didn't eat this set.
Curry hit the free throw line and scored 2 points on both free throws, scoring 6 points.
Then, after JR Smith dribbled to the right, the mid-range back jumper missed the shot.
Curry seized the opportunity and got a rebound in the backcourt halfway through, using the double screen of Azeri and Green, dribbling all the way from the left to 45 degrees on the right, and finally found a perfect mobile phone meeting. Hit the shot!
Curry's first three-pointer tonight!
Finally caught another three points!
Good times are not long, Li Liang's goods are here again.
Holding the ball from the same high position, the same two-person cover, he dribble from the right to the left, and it is a fake move pretending to shoot, and then flashed into the inside, stopped the jumper and hit a two-pointer.
Li Liang's three-point threat is so great that as soon as the defender sees that he may have to shoot a three-pointer, his body's center of gravity moves, and if he wants to go up, he will be cheated.
Li Liang knew in his heart that his three-pointer was not so hot tonight, and the Warriors were so tightly guarded, they had to take it easy and play smarter.
The point difference returned to an annoying 5 points.
The first half is about to end.
Iguodala succeeded in fouling offense and made two free throws to reach a 4-point difference.
At this time, Bird made a substitution and replaced Granger with West to enhance the inside.
And Granger's playing time is really a bit long.
West came into play immediately.
Li Liang got the backcourt rebound and advanced to the frontcourt, West cut in the middle, Li Liang straight to West, West picked up the ball and took Green from the back, after a continuous turn, a left board hit a throw Hit.
Green's series is a life of bullying.
But Curry immediately demonstrated his value in the Warriors' offense.
The high-level continuous dribble escaped, and one person attracted Hill and Li Liang's defense.
As a result, the Pacers had a void inside, Curry scored the ball to Green, Green gave Iguodala, and Iguodala passed to Barnes on the other side.
The Pacers players will insert their wings several times to pass the ball, and the ball will not fly fast.
In the end, Barnes's big empty space in the basket, his hands dunked!
Only when Curry starts to hit a three-pointer can the Warriors' smooth offense really work.
It's a pity ~EbookFREE.me~ The first half of the game is about to end, giving Curry no chance to play like this.
When Li Liang took the ball for half of the last ten seconds, almost all Warriors players gathered towards his defense—......
On the one hand, because I was really afraid that Li Liang would make another super three-pointer at the end, I started to defend before halftime.
On the other hand, because Li Liang had a gravitational wooden fish on his body.
Of course, Li Liang's performance went on like this, and it was only a matter of time before the wooden fish was digested by him-when he was bald.
Li Liang saw this opportunity. [One shot into the soul] shot, a long-range ground pass was given to West who cut into the basket, and West caught the ball and made a layup easily!
The score in the first half was fixed at 6 points for the Pacers.
With a smart smile, Li Liang left the court and returned to the locker room.
In the first half, he contributed 8 assists, playing the Warriors' defense between the palms.
