Chapter 440 The Clippers Always Stand Up
The strength of both sides is very high. After all, this is the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and no one can afford to lose.
If you win the game, you get the match point.
As the uncrowned champions, the Warriors are bound to win this home court!
Zhou Yang didn't relax, because the Clippers' scoring explosiveness is also top-notch. As long as one is not careful, Thompson may make a big one.
The Warriors attacked, and Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, looked left and right, and made a pass.
Because Curry felt average just now, Paul's attention was on his passing route, but Curry suddenly stepped back and made a three-pointer!
This is the small ball era, three-pointers can be shot all the time, and this is the Splash Brothers, the top shooter in the league!
Swish!
Paul looked at the basketball helplessly, and got into the basket with precision!
The Warriors overtake!
However, the Clippers are also ruthless.
Thompson was temporarily locked up by Zhou Yang, and Foye broke out again.
Under the cover of his teammates, he went to the sideline, received a pass from Paul, and responded with a three-pointer!
Old fans know that, especially in the playoffs, if you want to go far, the depth of the team's bench must be thick.
Because after playing a few games in the series, both sides are already familiar with the team's core players and main lineup.
Now that both sides have no secrets, a dark horse in the team can have an unexpected effect.
The teams that go far often have a player who is unknown in the regular season, come out and take the game away.
Foye's outburst today gave the Clippers hope again.
The Clippers are a very dynamic team.
We all know that Paul and Griffin are the core tactical stars of the team, but as long as other players feel good, Paul and Griffin will put down their bodies, cover their teammates, and give up their phones to their teammates.
This is the reason why the Clippers can rise rapidly this season.
Thompson is playing well, so play around him.
If he doesn't feel good, try another starting point.
There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that every team has a boss.
At the critical moment of the game, the ball must be in the hands of the boss.
Even if the boss makes a mistake and misses the shot, he still has to fight for the boss. This is the arena.
Such a rule has suppressed the upper limit of many teams.
Because superstars are a minority after all, the bosses of most teams cannot perform stably.
They held the ball firmly in their hands and lost a lot of good opportunities.
Paul is just the opposite. As a traditional point guard, what he thinks in his head is to connect the teams. Whoever feels good will give the ball to him!
Of course, this characteristic of Paul will also cause dissatisfaction among fans, that is, he cannot stand up and score at critical moments.
So basketball is complicated.
After Foye scored, Curry's competitive spirit was stimulated again.
Zhou Yang commanded his teammates to help Curry cover and create mobile opportunities for him.
Swish!
Curry hit another three-pointer.
Looking back, Foye also entered the state, received a pass from Griffin in the bottom corner, and hit a three-pointer!
上半场还剩2分11秒，两队比分来到52:51，勇士领先1分。
The head coaches of both sides have a tacit understanding and did not call a timeout. It depends on who can continue the touch.
The Warriors attacked and Curry advanced with the ball again.
Just now Curry hit three consecutive three-pointers, so the Clippers were in a hurry and even double-teamed Curry.
In the last season, Curry occasionally faced double-teams and was a little panicked.
But after dozens of games of training, Curry's ability to play the ball has improved a lot.
Just when Paul and Foye double-teamed, he immediately passed the ball to Turkoglu.
Turkoglu made a three-pointer!
This was Turkoglu's first shot in the second quarter, so the Clippers didn't expect it.
Swish!
The Clippers players seem to have forgotten that this is the omnipotent agent of the Magic back then!
The three-pointer made immediately caused thunderous applause and cheers in the Oracle Arena.
Both Zhou Yang and Curry ran to Turkoglu and bumped their chests to celebrate with him, and the Warriors' morale was greatly boosted.
The significance of this three-pointer is very important, not only an increase of 3 points, but also a lot of offensive points for the Warriors.
The Clippers' defense was a gamble. They put a lot of defensive resources on Zhou Yang and Curry.
And Turkoglu's feel warmed up, which made the Clippers lose sight of one another.
Old Nelson was also very aware of the importance of Turkoglu's throw at this point. He waved his fist excitedly and roared twice.
In the next few rounds, the Clippers completely collapsed.
Foye shot again, but unfortunately, under the help of Tony Allen, it missed.
Looking back, Zhou Yang suddenly ran back, received a pass from Turkoglu, and made another two-pointer.
As a result, at the end of the first half, the score of the two teams came to 64:55, and the Warriors led by 9 points.
After halftime, Paul didn't go to the player tunnel immediately, he just stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After Griffin saw it, he came over and took his arm, and the two walked towards the player channel.
Perhaps Paul has felt that the Warriors are really too strong.
In the live broadcast room of Huaxia Sports Channel, director Zhang smiled and began to taunt Yang Yi, a fan of Sao Paulo.
"Yang Yi, tell me, why did the Clippers fall behind in the first half?"
Yang Yi's expression was ugly, and he was no longer as relaxed as before.
He coughed and said slowly: "Even if the Warriors win today, the Clippers will win the series, that's for sure!"
Director Zhang shook his head with a smile: "Your mouth is really hard, I saw a joke on the Internet yesterday, it's quite interesting."
Yang Yi asked curiously: "What joke, Director Zhang will tell you."
Director Zhang held back his laughter, and said slowly, "Thanos snapped his fingers, and the whole world was destroyed, only your mouth moved..."
Yang Yi's face flushed immediately, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Yu Jia couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed wildly, and the laughter became louder and louder.
He and Yang Yi had a good relationship in private, and while laughing, he explained: "I'm sorry, Teacher Yang Yi, I'm a professional, and I can usually hold back, but I really couldn't hold back today."
Yang Yi waited for a long time before saying, "The Clippers do have great potential. Let's wait and see in the second half. If Thompson and Foye are overwhelmed, the Warriors will have a hard time."
Director Zhang stopped joking, and said seriously: "If the Clippers want to win, they can only rely on a certain player's extraordinary performance, but as long as the Warriors perform normally, they can basically win."
Yu Jia approved Director Zhang's answer very much, and nodded repeatedly to express his agreement.
The second half of the game began.
The Clippers really worked hard. As soon as Thompson came up, he threw a three-pointer, and it was thrown more than 1 meter away from the three-point line.
Swish!
hit.
The Clippers players see a little hope.
