Chapter 977 (1/2)
There are three minutes left in the first quarter. For the warriors, three minutes is more than enough to catch seven points.
After the three-point ball is popular in the league, those who used to feel that the huge difference is not worth mentioning at all.
A few years ago, when the Lakers and Celtics played the finals, the score of the whole game was always more than 80 to more than 70. But now? You rarely see a game where both sides didn't score 100 points.
Defense is strong, scoring is not easy, is the portrayal of the game at that time.
In that rhythm, once a party falls behind by seven or eight points, it will appear very passive.
But now, because the three-point goal has been fully developed, even if a party lags by more than ten points in the game, sometimes it is not a matter at all.
After all, more than ten points is something that can be recovered by a few three-point goals.
Therefore, the 7-point gap is not worth mentioning for the warriors. What's more, it's still the case that their lineup strength is dominant on the field.
After the suspension ended and the players from both sides came back, the two teams had staff rotation.
Warrior side, just replaced Kuri with Barbosa, replaced green with Spitz. Livingston, Thompson and Barnes continue to play for the time being. The remaining two main players will come back for them after a minute or two rest.
Take turns, that's Cole's seven man rotation.
On the grizzly side, there are more people in rotation than warriors.
Delavidova replaced Conley, igordala replaced Tony Allen, Carter replaced link, and Gasol replaced Harris. In the first five tigers, there's only one left, Jimmy Butler.
Cole is full of confidence. In his opinion, the Grizzlies' second team's most dangerous point is Gasol.
But Gasol no matter how good, he can only in the three seconds zone two minutes to dig in. Such an attack cannot contain the warriors!
Three points is more than two points, which is something even primary school students can count.
As for the outside line of the Grizzlies... Delavidova, igordala and Butler's three points are not very reliable.
There is only one old man left, but Cole doesn't think a 40 year old man can play a big role in the game.
Cole thinks he's going to take this line-up!
The game started again, and everyone thought the warriors were the best. So the live camera also gave link a close-up.
But link in the camera is not anxious. He easily pillows his head on his hands with an expression of ”waiting for a good show.”.
If it was someone else, Mike brin would have joked that this guy was overconfident.
But link makes that look... Mike brin thinks warriors should be careful.
The warriors scored on their first attack after pausing back, and things seemed to go very well.
Thompson was dislocated in front of and behind delavidova's face, made a tentative forward stab, and then quickly withdrew from the jump shot.
Delavidova was shaken. He thought Thompson was going to break through, so he stepped back two steps. But as soon as he pulled back, Thompson went straight out of the three-point line and made a decisive jump shot.
In this way, the closure of the Australians was half a beat slower. And this half shot is more than enough for Thompson.
Three point hollow net, this game from the beginning to now, the warriors have not been so comfortable goal.
Cole waved his fist excitedly. He thought he was right. Rotation time, warriors can change everything!
Oracle stadium came to the fans shouting, after a three-point ball, the difference moment is only 4 points.
Now, warriors fans are eager not just to level the score, but to surpass directly.
They believe that as long as we can stabilize the Grizzlies' strong attack in the first quarter, the rhythm will gradually return to the warriors' rhythm.
Old Carter looked at the score on the big screen with a serious expression.
He said, he'll keep the difference for link!
After the Grizzlies attack, the warriors put their defensive focus on Gasol and butler.
Carter clearly saw that Thompson was absent-minded in defending himself. The guy is always thinking about how to defend, but not how to defend the player in front of him.
Pau Gasol mentioned catching the ball from high and back to frame. Spetz and the rest of the warriors got nervous. No one noticed that Carter had slipped to the right side of the three-point line under igordala's no ball cover.
Gasol pours in, trying to force Spitz.
Spitz can't withstand the impact of Gasol, not everyone is like Drummond green, can be small and broad.
In an instant, the warriors' line of defense would shrink. Gasol saw the timing, pushed with one hand and sent the ball to Carter, who was ambushed outside the three-point line.
Thompson came forward to block, but it can be seen that his blocking is not very positive. To Carter this season field average 5.8 points old man, Thompson is not able to lift the strength.He thought that just scaring Carter would be enough to make the old guy lose his sight.
However, in the face of Thompson, who raised his hand and rushed towards him, Carter did not even blink.
He was staring at the basket, at the orange hoop and the slightly swaying net.
In his 17 years of career, he was known as one of the four quarterbacks, but he never played in the finals...
Carter was not willing, he didn't want his career to end like this.
