――――――――――――――――――

On the Clippers' offense, Paul used Jeff Green's blocking to prepare shots, but the Warriors' defense was also quite in place, and Draymond Green successfully used excellent movement to make up for the defense after the switch.

This is the Warriors' defensive system, and Green's presence has directly improved their ability to help defend by a notch.

Paul saw that there was no chance to shoot, so he directly crossed the step and broke inside.

Although Green is excellent in helping defense, he is still not as fast as Paul, and after Paul bursts out, he can only shrink inside, but his defensive strategy is that obvious defensive shooting, because there is Bogut behind him, and the defensive combination of the two is already a defensive system.

The rest of the Clippers didn't stand at this time, and at a 45-degree angle on the right wing, Brewer made a block for Tang Shuai at the three-point line, and Tang Shuai successfully bypassed.

The Warriors' change of defense was very decisive, and Barnes, who changed the defense, pounced directly.

But just as he made this move, Jeff Green, who had finished blocking Paul for Paul, made a second block for Tang Shuai, which was equivalent to Tang Shuai bypassing a double pick-and-roll, and the opportunity successfully appeared when Green blocked Barnes.

That's when it happened. Paul, who had already broken through to the inside line, only glanced at Tang Shuai and shook his hand. The ball went directly into Tang Shuai's hands in the next second.

Tang Shuai just stopped, and after receiving the ball, it was directly a Maddie dry pull.

Picturesque shooting unguarded. The basketball slashed through the air in a perfect arc and fell straight towards the basket.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai's mid-range hit steadily.

Maybe this game really has a different meaning, after scoring, Tang Shuai raised his hand above his head and clenched it tightly into a fist.

The cheers of the fans at the scene became louder and louder.

Looking back at the Warriors' offense, Curry used his three-point advantage to successfully shake off Paul, went straight inside, and after seeing Jordan Jr. come out to make up for the defense, he made a delicate crotch pass to Barnes on the diagonal side. Barnes got the ball and got ready, but Brewer was quick and slapped the ball away.

And after the ball was slapped off by Brewer, it actually hit Barnes's leg and bounced off the sideline.

The Warriors are out of bounds!

Clippers ball possession!

The Warriors' first two rounds of offense were all in vain!

After the mistake, Barnes looked extremely annoyed and shook his head vigorously.

Perhaps it was the succession of tough battles that made the winning team really feel tired, or maybe it was the Clippers who showed unprecedented hard work, and the defending champions were a little stunned from the start, even Curry, who failed to score points on two attempts from beyond the three-point line.

The Warriors' sluggish form. It also brought out the bravery of the Clippers, and in the first few minutes of the opening game, the Clippers showed the fans too many different things.

"Smack!"

Paul stole Thompson's pass and rushed forward. After glancing back at the players of the Warriors team who gave up chasing defense, they slowly slowed down and waited for Tang Shuai, who was following up, to come. Throw the ball straight into the air.

Tang Shuai's catch of the ball is directly a small windmill slam dunk.

Eric's dunk pack is no problem with this kind of small dunk when he is in the open space.

"Bang!"

Tang Shuai pressed the ball into the basket with both hands, and the cheers on the scene exploded instantly.

The Warriors were forced to call a timeout. As the Warriors left the court, Kerr reached out and scratched his head to look at the players. Apparently the team's sluggish form was completely unexpected.

On the Clippers' side, the players were greeted with a round of applause and cheers from the crowd when they left the game.

"Okay, keep maintaining this intensity, we want to win this battle of honor!" Cassel also seemed excited, and he probably didn't even expect to be able to play the Warriors like this at home, and when Griffin was out.

The Clippers were also excited, and it was clear that after playing the Warriors like this, their confidence was at its highest in an instant.

However, Billups looked at the Warriors' halfcourt with concern in his eyes at this time.

After the pause, the Warriors' offense improved slightly, but they still failed to limit the Clippers' play well in defense, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of both the game and the score.

"These lads were really great tonight!" Kassel looked at the hard work of the players and said with a smile to Billups.

"Sam, are the players a little too exhausted?" Billups said worriedly.

"It's okay, our main players are still young, and we have a lot of physical exertion, and the Warriors are not small." Kassel is optimistic.

Billups stopped talking, but finally nodded and said nothing.

Cassel's judgment was right, although the Clippers' efforts on both offensive and defensive ends made their physical exertion huge, but the Warriors, who were behind, also spared no effort to chase points, and only consumed a lot more physical strength than the Clippers players.

With only about six minutes to play in the first quarter, both sides invariably replaced their main players one after another, which was two to three minutes earlier than their normal rotation, which shows the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides in this quarter of the game.

The Clippers took a 23-9 lead over the defending champions.

"Well done!" Kassel shook hands with the players who came off the field one by one.

Although the team members were out of breath, their faces were full of excitement.

Tang Shuai also had a smile on his face at this time, such an opening was obviously the best for the team.

"Your towel and drink." The team's staff quickly handed him a towel to wipe his sweat.

"Thank you." Tang Shuai took the towel and quickly wiped his sweat and put on his training clothes. Then I picked up the drink and took two sips.

At this time, both sides were all bench lineups on the court, and the Warriors were in charge of Livingston. The Clippers are playing with Ismael Smith.

After the Warriors' bench lineup came up, they didn't play like the main team. After a few simple pick-and-rolls, he directly let Livingston go to the low post to play back.

Most of the players with excellent back playing skills are very famous, but Livingston, although he was expected to be high when he first debuted, and was even called the "successor of the magic" for a time, but a devastating injury made him disqualified from becoming a superstar, and he was the least famous in comparison. But it can't hide his 6 to no friend's back hits.

Thanks to his height, his back play can be said to be nine out of ten, and even in the eyes of most people, his back play is more stable than Curry's three-point shot.

At this moment, after leaning against Smith in the low post, Livingston slammed in, Smith wanted to withdraw and then pounce, but just as he took it back, Livingston turned quickly, and the whole torso was extremely straight. The standard hand shape is like a textbook.

With the perfect time difference, Smith couldn't even defend at all, and Livingston sent the ball into the basket safely.

Tang Shuai couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up when he watched from the sidelines, so he hit his back. It's not as ethereal as Pierce, but it's really too standard, and the timing difference is flawless.

The Clippers' bench group is also very hard. The strength is not bad, but there is still some gap with the Warriors' benches. Josh Smith tried to score after receiving the ball in the low post, but was quickly disrupted by Andre Iguodala, who was helping to defend him. The Warriors' swift defensive counterattack, and Livingston again, scored two more points for the Warriors with a straight layup.

"Pass the ball, pass the ball!" Seeing that something was wrong with the momentum, Cassel yelled at the players.

Billups' fears began to become reality.

The Warriors' bench showed strong competitiveness after coming up, while the Clippers' bench group played a little messily and committed a lot of fouls.

The main players of the Clippers are very hard defensively, and they are basically old fritters, and they are very good at defensive scale, but the benches are not so experienced, and the most experienced Josh Smith is even more temperamental, and the result can be imagined.

Somewhat similar to the Clippers in the opening game, the Warriors played a tough style of play, especially Livingston's continuous use of back to score points for the team, and the difference between the two teams was narrowed little by little, and because of the huge physical exertion, worried that the players would cause injuries too early, Cassel seemed a little helpless at this time.

Livingston relied on playing Booker, and when he turned around, he used his experience to successfully cheat Booker's foul.

He walked to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws, and the second free throw bounced out of the frame, but was grabbed by Speights and scored a basket directly, which is equivalent to scoring 3 points directly in this offensive round.

At this time, the score was 36-31, and the Clippers' lead was chased by only five points in just a few minutes.

The Warriors have had a lot of comebacks this season, especially in recent games, when the main players have struggled in the first quarter, but the bench has always been able to fill in the holes they have dug.

After the timeout, the Clippers and Warriors once again brought their main players on the court.

The competition between the two sides is getting more and more intense, often the Clippers side finally score a goal, the Warriors side score points with a quick attack, and when the Warriors score a three-pointer, the Clippers side also immediately responds to one.

At this time, the coolest thing is the fans, no matter who wins or loses in the end of the game, it is the high level of competition shown by both sides, which has feasted their eyes.

56-56, after a fierce battle at halftime, the two sides were tied, and once again stood on the same running line.

When the players left the field, Tang Shuai couldn't help but look up at the scoreboard above his head, and like Billups in front, he couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his eyes.

The top scorer for the Warriors in the first half was Livingston, the bench guard contributed 13 points and 3 assists on 6-of-8 two-point shooting, and it was his excellent play that allowed the Warriors to avoid a big deficit, but the Warriors' backcourt play was average. Curry, in particular, shot just 2-of-9 in the first half. With just six points, it didn't match his previous performance at all.

One thing is undeniable. Curry rarely played a whole sluggish game, and he was able to hold him down in the first half, and he was likely to explode in the second half, and at that time, whether the Clippers could defend it or not is another matter.

At half-time, Cassel cheered on the players with a passionate speech, and as a former assistant coach to Reeves, he was also quite good at this. With his encouragement, although the players were physically exhausted, their morale suddenly became full again.

Coming back in the second half, players from both sides returned to the field.

"For the sake of honor." Before going on the court, Cassel clenched his fist and stretched it out in front of his chest.

"For the sake of honor!" The team members folded their hands on top of each other until the end shouted in unison.

"Toot!"

The whistle blew on the sidelines, and the second half of the game between the two sides officially began.

The Warriors had the ball on the jump, so the Clippers came back in the second half to attack first.

It was still Paul who held the ball, beckoning Jordan Jr. to block and then follow with a mid-range shot.

Paul and Jordan Jr.'s tactics are quite skillful. Jordan Jr.'s pick-and-roll quality is one thing, but Paul's consistency in mid-range output is what kills.

After the basketball shot, it fell straight towards the basket, and the hollow sound of "swish" went into the net.

The fans at the scene instantly let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

"Chris~~Paul!!" The DJ shouted Paul's name loudly.

The Clippers scored their first goal of the second half.

Cassel nodded in satisfaction on the sidelines, and the Clippers showed a very good mental outlook.

The Clippers had some wins on the offensive end. The defensive end came back with a mad dog-like press.

Everything seemed to be the same as in the first quarter, but Billups suddenly took a step forward and suddenly said, "Here's the trouble." ”

The Warriors made a tactical change.

The Warriors' style of play wasn't unprecedented. Curry's style of play, while very different, is not entirely independent. If there is a team in history that is similar to the current Warriors team, it is undoubtedly the Suns in the 04~05 season. Except for the defensive Suns, who are weaker than the current Warriors, the others are not lost at all.

At that time, the core of the team was the supergiant Nash, who won the MVP for a second time.

In that Suns team, Nash is the same as Curry today, and he is also a one-man offensive system that leads a team, in general games, Nash and Curry lead the team to attack in their own way, and similarly, when the team's offense stagnates, they will immediately use super individual ability to solve the battle.

In the '05 playoffs, Nash scored 48 points on 20-of-28 shooting against the Mavericks when his teammates were all dumb, and now that the Warriors' general tactical coordination has made it difficult to score, Curry is ready to do the same.

The Warriors made a tactical adjustment, and the main aspect of this adjustment was to allow Curry to go into solo mode.

The Warriors' offense is a system, but when this system doesn't work, the whole team immediately enters support mode, just like when playing Dota or LOL, all teammates support the core, making him superb.

Curry advanced to the front court with the ball, and Green and Barnes made blocks directly on the left and right positions at the same time.

Curry made a left turn feint, suddenly dribbled backwards, and then got to Green's covering position.

Although Green's body is not wide, the quality of the blocking and dismantling is not bad at all compared to Jordan Jr., and Paul and Jeff Green are directly blocked to death at this time.

Paul reacted quickly and was about to squeeze through.

But even if it is squeezed, it will take 1 to 2 seconds, which is this little bit of time, giving Curry a hint of shooting space.

Curry was one step away from the three-point line, did not hesitate at all, and retracted his foot with the dribble forward, followed by a three-point shot.

Curry's shot is not high, but it is fast, like a sniper rifle.

After the basketball flew out of his hand, there was a high-speed backspin that flew directly to the basket.

"Huh!"

A crisp sound, three-pointer, in!

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, the way he shot was completely Curry style, and the three-point line was no longer a three-point line for him. It's more like the free-throw line.

The Clippers attacked, and Don Shuai and Paul crossed blocks. Two people switched defenders.

Tang Shuai fell to the low post, and Paul quickly put the ball in. He leaned on Curry and singled with his back.

The Warriors' co-defense quickly came up, and compared to other teams, the Warriors are undoubtedly one of the best in terms of co-defense rotation.

Tang Shuai observed this, and directly chose to turn around and lean back, push Curry away, followed by a quick turn, and then a quick back.

He has been observing Livingston's back play style off the court before, and he is more accurate in some details of his back play.

After turning, the back-leaning hit steadily. The Clippers took the lead again.

Looking back, the Clippers are still holding on.

This time, Curry didn't directly hold the ball, and after giving the ball to Green at the top of the arc, he ran directly around the three-point line on the sideline, and the other three people did three consecutive off-ball blocks, and when they ran from the left three-point line to the 45-degree angle of the right wing, there was finally a chance to shoot around Bogut's blocking wall.

Green was ready to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and without the slightest hesitation, he threw the ball directly to Curry.

Curry jumped almost against Bogut's body. Then threw the three-pointer out.

This shot was much more difficult than the previous one, but Curry was really steady, and his quick shot still maintained his familiar shooting posture.

The basketball flew out of his hand and spun at high speed towards the basket.

"Huh!"

Three points back!

The fans at the scene were in an uproar. The Clippers have done a pretty good job defensively, but Curry came back in the second half to get his touch back, and once he found it. The game changed completely.

The Clippers' offense, Brewer took advantage of Green's block to cut to the basket. Paul hit a ground-and-second pass into place, and Brewer's layup was interfered with by Bogut and deflected off the basket. But Jordan Jr. used his positivity to score directly from the basket.

The Clippers tied the score again.

There is no problem with scoring.

The Warriors' offense is still the same tactic, Curry is still going around in circles, and the Clippers have obviously strengthened their defensive intensity at this time, and the players are very fierce.

Curry ran out without getting an open space, and even had a hard time catching the ball, and was almost broken when he received the ball at the end.

“defense！ defense！ The fans cheered for the home team, and the fans standing in the front row stood up from their seats, waving their fists and shouting loudly.

Curry held the ball, Paul stuck to it, Green and Thompson tried to pull it out to do a pick-and-roll, but they didn't succeed a few times, and brought over the defender, almost forming a direct package.

“6！” Warriors assistant coach Wharton on the sidelines loudly reminded Curry of offensive time.

Curry shook his hand and motioned directly to his teammates to pull away.

After that gesture, Green and Thompson ran straight away, taking the Clippers' defenders with them.

The originally crowded top of the arc suddenly turned into a heads-up court between Paul and Curry.

Curry's fast dribbling, Paul's stubborn sticking, there is no shortage of small movements in his hands, and the defensive intensity is quite large.

Curry suddenly made an emergency stop and directly chose to make an emergency stop without completely getting rid of it.

Paul jumped up almost at the same time and reached out to interfere with Curry's vision.

The ball was defended quite well, and Curry could barely see the frame, but he still took a shot with his senses.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed into the rebound, and it could be seen that the angle of the ball was still a little off under the interference.

However, after the ball hit the rebound, it bounced and smashed to the front of the basket, and then bounced in the direction of the rebound, and finally grazed the basket.

Three-pointer, back in!

3 consecutive three-pointers!

After scoring, Curry looked very excited, stretched out his index finger and kept jumping in place, and the exaggerated expression on his face was very intriguing.

Curry's offense boosted the morale of the entire Warriors, and the rotation speed on the defensive end was more rapid, and after successfully blocking the Clippers' offense, Curry connected Paul and Green in the fast break, and sent the ball to the basket with a small ring layup.

And that's not even counting the fact that when the Clippers scored a difficult goal, Curry came back and scored on a breakaway throw after a pick-and-roll.

The Clippers were simply stopped.

As soon as he came back in the second half, Curry showed his super individual scoring ability, shooting 5 of 5, including 3 3-pointers, scoring 13 points in a row, and was stunned to stretch the difference to 5 points.

Cassel shook his head helplessly, the Clippers' performance was as perfect as the first quarter, the difference was Curry.

"The bag must keep up and reduce Stephen's chances of catching the ball as much as possible." Cassel's emphasis on Curry's defense was the most during the timeout.

After the timeout, according to Kassel's tactical deployment, the Clippers shifted the defensive focus to Curry.

But in this way, Curry is preventing, but the other points are opening up.

The reason why Curry is so difficult to defend is not only because he has super scoring ability, if you really want to say, in terms of scoring ability, Durant is better than him, and the reason why he is the only one is because in addition to scoring, his passing is also top-notch.

Wrapping Curry did make him reduce or even no chance to shoot, but he could often pass the ball out in a moment before the package was formed, and the receiver casually poured the ball twice, which was an offensive opportunity, and the result was suspended back, and the difference between the two sides was further widened instead of narrowing.

81-71, by the time the two sides entered the second half of the rotation, the Warriors had stretched the margin to double digits under Curry's leadership.

The Clippers looked at the scoreboard breathlessly, they didn't work hard in this battle of honor, but sometimes hard work doesn't necessarily win the game.

Tang Shuai turned his head at this time and noticed that Billups was pulling Kassel and talking about something. (To be continued.) )
