Chapter 303

On the right side of the Warriors was Jefferson. Facing Curry who was running over, he consciously made a catch-up screen, and once again helped Curry block the closely chasing Mills.

Curry gained room to look for opportunities. He glanced at Leonard, who was standing sideways to delay, and knew that Mills would most likely choose to squeeze past Jefferson and go around to chase and defend.

Therefore, Curry did not intend to continue to rush to the inside line, but after a sudden stop, he immediately accelerated and ran back.

David Lee, who held the ball in a high position, sent the basketball to the right three-point line in time!
Reaching out to catch the ball, Curry pulled up his body and shot directly.

The basketball arced through the air, and finally fell into the net under everyone's gaze.

"Unbelievable three-pointer, Curry played very smart this round,"

Barkley shook his head with an unbelievable look, "But what surprised me even more is that Curry made the catch and shoot to the extreme, and his shooting speed was ridiculously fast."

"I feel that Curry doesn't seem to be aiming at the basket, he just relies on his own feeling."

Smith was also surprised by this.

"The Spurs called a timeout. So far, both sides have played back and forth. I don't know what adjustments Coach Popovich will make."

"I didn't think to call a timeout so soon because you guys played fine."

Sitting on a small bench, Popovich held a tactical drawing board, and his expression was unexpectedly less serious.

"The reason why I still called it was because of Curry's three-pointer just now."

Looking at the players, Popovich briefly explained, "Did you see the shaking of his head after he shot a three-pointer? There is no doubt that this is his performance of excitement and confidence."

Popovich's eyes sharpened, and he picked up a pen and wrote quickly: "Curry is indeed very accurate in three-pointers, but fortunately, so far his style of play is still mainly pick-and-roll and singles, so we. "

The electronic beep sounds, the timeout ends and the game restarts.

In the surprised eyes of many people, the Spurs put Mills, who had a good start, back to the bench, and Danny Green replaced him.

In the Spurs' offensive round, Yang Ke, who returned to the point guard position, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt unhurriedly.

Stopping a step outside the three-point line, looking at Thompson who was standing in front of him with a serious expression, Yang Ke didn't make any moves, just slapped the basketball in a consistent rhythm.

But in other positions, Green, who has just been replaced, has begun to run actively. With the help of Splitter and Leonard's true and false screens, Curry, who is closely chasing him, is in a hurry.

Finally, on a pullback screen, Curry lost his defensive position.

Just as Green withdrew to the three-point line, Yang Ke's pass followed him to the same destination.

After receiving this fairly comfortable pass, facing the fleeting space, Green did not hesitate to shoot a jumper close to the three-point line.

The basketball lived up to expectations and got into the net.

“14 Danny Green. for three～～～”

The on-site DJ roared, and the long sound deliberately dragged out, followed by the home fans, was quite impressive.

"Green's off-the-ball running position is very spiritual, should Thompson be used to mark it? Or."

After watching this round, Pete Myers got up from the bench and walked to Mark Jackson on the sidelines, wanting to mention his thoughts.

"Curry's footwork is very flexible. The reason why he can't catch up with Green is not his own reasons, but the Spurs' overall discipline and excellent tactical quality."

Mark Jackson frowned. He saw the whole game more thoroughly, and this also made him feel a helpless sense of frustration.

Mark Jackson did think of tentative targeting, but when he thought of the difference in execution between the two sides, he knew it would definitely be useless.

Of course, Mark Jackson does not think that the coaching staff he formed is not as good as the Spurs coaching staff. He thinks more that his side did not have too much design and systematic training for this lineup.

You know, they and the Warriors uniform team had already decided to tear down and rebuild the team in the middle of the season. The player lineup was traded and tossed for most of the day. Who knew that they made it to the playoffs at the last moment.

What should I say?Then it can only be said that Curry and Thompson they value are too good!

The change in the lineup has also adjusted the Spurs' defensive strategy against Curry.

Curry faced Green instead, and he was relieved that he didn't press from the front like Mills did.

He raised his hand to call out David Lee for cover. Facing the pick-and-roll this round, Dior just stretched out his hand and pretended to block it, and did not come out to delay.

This allowed Curry to continue to break through the inside, but seeing that Mitch Moore failed to open up the space under the basket, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to rush towards the basket.

An emergency stop near the horns on the right, Curry jumped up slightly, and he was very confident in throwing the ball at this point.

However, Green, who was closely chasing, appeared in the most appropriate position at the right time. Although the jumping posture was a bit awkward, just when Curry was about to make a shot, he pulled the ball from behind him gently.

After landing, Green easily held the bounced basketball in his hands.

At the same time, Yang Ke and Leonard have rushed to the frontcourt non-stop, and then Green directly threw the ball to Yang Ke.

At this time, Thompson was the only one who kept up with the rhythm and chased back. Facing Yang Ke and Leonard, who thought the ball was hot and kept passing back and forth, there was nothing they could do.

In the end, Thompson could only watch Yang Ke make a layup!

With deafening cheers from the fans, Curry, who turned around to receive the serve, glanced up at the large display screen above his head that was returning to defense.

If he remembers correctly, this is the first time he has been blocked in the past year, or he was blocked from behind. Curry doesn't understand how Green did it.

Reorganizing the offense, Curry, who came to the frontcourt with the ball again, looked at Danny Green who was in front of him, and temporarily changed his offensive strategy for this round.

After throwing the ball to David Lee who pulled down the high post, Curry unexpectedly ran to the right corner and set up outside the three-point line.

And with the tactical gesture raised by Curry, other Warriors players except David Lee began to move their positions silently.

Is this a double cross screen?

Yang Ke, who followed Thompson from the bottom line, had a guess in his mind after seeing Curry make the same move from the other side.

Sure enough, the next moment, the two suddenly accelerated, and after covering each other with their bodies, they crossed each other.

Fortunately, the team had practiced this event before, so Yang Ke and Green, who were chasing and defending, did not make any mistakes and followed closely behind them.

This is not over yet, Jefferson and Mitch Moore standing near the free throw line on the left and right sides continued to cover the two.
