Durant gasped for air, and he gasped just at the start of the second quarter.

Because at this time, he felt the huge pressure brought by the Grizzlies. This feeling of oppression made his breathing out of rhythm.

Nikolai. Jokic, that fat white guy is really better than he thought. At the very least, it's much better than last season's Western Conference Finals.

The kind of defense just now is not something that all centers can do.

It's true that Jokic's rim protection rate isn't the best among centers, but he has his own strengths.

Overall, Jokic's defense is not bad, and it can even be said that he is a defender above the standard.

But just being curbed by a white and fat second-round show, Durant was not reconciled.

Not just Durant, but the rest of the Warriors won't accept such an outcome.

Especially Draymond. Green.

At this year's Olympics, he was just educated by Jokic. At this time in the NBA, Green doesn't want a repeat of the tragedy.

So this time offensively, Green directly held the ball and singled Jokic from outside the three-point line.

But Jokic was on guard, and he let Green go two steps just to prevent him from breaking through.

Moreover, Green is not a great singlesman. If the Warriors' offense is reduced to relying on Green to play alone, then Link raises his hands in favor.

In the end, Green's punch was pulled down by Jokic, who took two steps back. Although Green is full of power and impact. But after being close to Jokic, the height disadvantage was still shown.

What's more, once Jokic faces Green, he is full of energy. The failure of the Olympics on Green's head, Jokic can still be relieved.

After Green failed to rush the frame, he wanted to use his hard work to immediately win the offensive rebound.

Unexpectedly, Jokic couldn't jump up with his wide back.

Jokic's defensive rebounding is also one of his best points, and he may not be as high as a Coke can, but he can use his position and timing to get the rebound.

Green failed in the scramble, and the Warriors quickly stepped back to prevent the Grizzlies from hitting a chance to counterattack.

This time, Green and Clark switched positions and stayed in front of Jokic.

Seeing this, Jokic simply stopped outside the three-point line. He shook his head, Green's defense, is when Gasol doesn't exist. He defends himself, so who will defend Gasol?

Soon, Gasol sank into the low post and leaned on Clark to raise his hand for the ball.

Clark was about to cry, and although he finally changed people, he didn't seem to be able to handle it either......

What is the difference between Gasol and Jokic? It's all exploded!

"The Grizzlies' twin towers are fantastic! Both centers have good three-point ability, which makes the Grizzlies misplaced no matter how they play. ”

Hubi. Brown was overjoyed, and Link simply turned on the "smoke in the bottom corner" mode. He didn't even need to make a move until he forced the Warriors to change their strategy.

This time, Clay. Thompson went up to wrap Gasol, and he couldn't let Clark be eaten raw by the opposing center, which was no different from giving away points.

Although it is a two-point knife to cut the meat, it hurts to cut too much.

The Warriors' defense is good, in fact, not only because of their individual defense, but also because their help defense is very good.

Thompson, Green, Barnes, and now Durant, have always been very good defensive wings.

Once they help defend, the opposing center will be in a tough battle.

This is also the reason why many big centers can't handle the Warriors.

Clay didn't hesitate because Dinwiddie was so inconspicuous. What's more, when the two sides played the Western Conference Finals last season, he also saw how iron-clad Dinwiddie's three-point shot was.

And once the impression of "three-point iron" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is difficult to change it.

Like Rondo and James, although their three-point shooting percentage statistics are much better, they still can't get rid of the hat of "three-point iron".

And most of their three-point shooting percentage is open shots, and they are extremely inconsistent. So even if the three-point shooting percentage increases, it doesn't fully show that their three-point shooting has really improved.

That's what Klay thinks of Dinwiddie, and that second-round pick guard has nothing to fear!

Gasol saw that Thompson was caught up, and he passed the ball to Dinwiddie with precision with one hand.

Gasol's playmaking ability is excellent, which is another thing that sets the Grizzlies' twin towers apart from other teams.

Jokic and Gasol, they can both pass! Therefore, there is no situation where the ball does not move.

The ball was passed steadily to Dinwiddie, and Clay felt like he was halfway there! As long as Gasol is prevented from continuing to play in the low post, the Grizzlies' strategy is messed up.

As for Dinwiddie, he would definitely not dare to vote! Even if he votes, he can't vote!

"Huh?"

Thompson had just thought so in his heart, and Dinwiddie made a decisive three-point shot!

"I'm not a top shooter, but I don't give up when I need to, Link!"

Link remembered what Dinwiddie had said to himself yesterday, and he did what he said.

"Brush!"

The Nets were rolled up by the basketball and the three-point hollow went into the net! He replaced Wade to score this kind of goal!

Clay. Thompson paid the price for his stereotype.

Dinwiddie's three-point shooting percentage has not just gotten pretty, it's really improved! It's not going to work with him the same way we did last season.

Thinking that the Grizzlies players will not improve, it is too underestimated!

"Dinwiddie hit a three-pointer and the Warriors' defense was cut to pieces by the Grizzlies! So far in the second quarter, the Grizzlies have scored 7 points in a row! Now, the Warriors are only 4 points ahead and their lead is shaky! ”

Amid the cheers of the fans, Link gave Dinwiddie a thumbs up.

He had known Dinwiddie could score because Dinwiddie beat him from beyond the three-point line yesterday afternoon......

"No, we have to raise the height!" Next to Cole, his assistant coach Mike Brown. Brown couldn't sit still.

If you continue to fight like this, sooner or later you will be played to death by the grizzly bear.

Now the situation of the Warriors is that they can't defend the inside line, and they don't dare to let go of the outside line, and they are completely strangled to death by the grizzly bear!

Moreover, this is still when Link did not make a move. Once Link starts to take over the offense like he did in the first quarter, the Warriors are even more unguardable!

Cole stood on the sidelines with a frown, knowing he needed to add height to salvage his slump.

But with Vallejo or McGee on the court, the Warriors' offensive threat will be greatly reduced, and the defense may not improve much!

The Warriors' offensive system does not have the living space of these big men.

The space and dislocation they relied on, neither Vallejo nor McGee could provide. And technical centers like Jokic and Gasol are really not afraid to confront the No. 5 position.

Kerr hesitated, he didn't know whether to compromise for defense, but simply found a way to fight the Grizzlies!

"Damn it!" The anxious Kerr couldn't help but curse that this season's Grizzlies are indeed much more difficult to deal with than last season's Western Conference Finals.

He never expected that in the era of small ball, he would be cornered by the Twin Towers lineup.

It was then that the Warriors finally scored on the court.

However, the process of scoring goals was full of twists and turns, and in short, the attack was not smooth.

Curry chose to play with Green this time, and Jokic, as always, delayed first and then chased back.

Delaying the ball handler, chasing back the card, protecting the basket, and then rebounding, Jokic kept repeating that series on the defensive end today. His excellent positional sense makes it impossible for Curry to pass the ball at all.

He knew Green was free, but the passing route was blocked by Jokic!

In the end, Curry could only wait for Jokic to chase back Green, and then suddenly shoot on Conley's head.

The ball went in, but if it was done all the time, the Warriors would have problems sooner or later.

The Warriors pulled the deficit back to six, but they didn't feel safe at all.

For them, it was as if they were just catching their breath.

Sure enough, for the rest of the second quarter, the Grizzlies' offense played smoothly.

Jokic and Gasol had to eat and drink inside, and Dinwiddie hit multiple three-pointers.

While Klay was fully focused on defending Dinwiddie's three-pointers, he could occasionally cut inside or break through with the ball to catch Klay off guard.

You know, Dinwiddie was never a pure shooter. His position at the time of the draft was an all-round two-way guard!

Green then simply bet on Jokic and Gasol's three-pointers, he wantonly made up for the interior line, and ignored the two big guys outside the three-point line, just betting that they couldn't shoot.

The result was equally tragic, with Gasol and Jokic shooting the Warriors with consistent three-point output.

The Grizzlies slowly leveled the score and then gradually overtook it.

If it weren't for the Warriors' reliance on Durant and Curry to put in a lot of difficult goals, the Warriors might have been wiped out at halftime!

At halftime, the Warriors went from leading by 11 points to trailing the Grizzlies by 10 points! Jokic, Dinwiddie and Gasol became the main scoring points of the Grizzlies in the second quarter of the game!

Link scored only four points in the second quarter and basically only played a deterrent role on the offensive end. Because the work of scoring goals is enough for those three people.

"The Grizzlies' change of lineup worked wonders, and now, the pressure is on the Warriors' side! If they continue to let it go in the second half, the point difference will only get bigger and bigger! ”

Hubi. Brown waved his arms briskly, and the Grizzlies' second-quarter display was impeccable! Jokic and Gasol's twin-tower lineup also broke the shackles of the times.

What a small-ball era, the Grizzlies are uncompromising! Since the Warriors like small lineups, let them eat the loss of a lineup that is too short.

The Grizzlies players walked into the locker room, and both Link and Joggle praised the others' performances.

But the game wasn't over yet, and Link had to execute the most crucial part next.

According to Jogel's prediction, in the second half, Kerr will definitely let Durant and Green defend Jokic and Gasol.

Needless to say, Green's low post defense has been excellent.

And Durant, although not as strong as Green, does not lose the height of the center, allowing him to effectively interfere with the shots of the center players.

Not to mention completely killing Gasol and Jokic, but as long as they can stop their singles from doing whatever they want, with the Warriors' offense, they can quickly recover.

But if Kerr does that, the Warriors will face a serious problem — Link will have no one to match.

Whether it's Clark or Klay, they can't defend Link as well as Durant.

If Link can seize the opportunity to open it completely, the Warriors will be completely defeated today!

However, Joggle is the most confident in this link.

Is there anything more reliable than letting Link go on offense?

At this time, Link is receiving Judy's muscle-relaxing massage.

Beat the warrior to the pain, he hasn't forgotten his goal for today.
