Chapter 283: Big score 41, this is it? New Science MVP?

"Squeak squeak--!"

The referee's whistle sounded, causing Green to turn his head and look at the other party in an extremely irritable manner.

"Why did I foul just now?"

Seeing the referee's bad expression, the other Warriors players quickly pulled the furious Green away.

Since the league introduced the zero-tolerance policy, the referee has become the only authority. Players can communicate with the referee, but they must not question it, especially because the referee is punished to attack the referee, otherwise they must be prepared to be blown off the court.

The Warriors already had a Bogut expelled from the game. If you get another Green, you won't have to play this game.

In fact, even now, the possibility of the Warriors winning this game is slim.

A large number of fouls in the first quarter led to the score being widened. Curry was targeted by a single after pick-and-roll in the second quarter, and his physical fitness was consumed a lot. As a result, the Rockets already had a 20-point lead over half of the third quarter.

Whether it is Thompson facing Leonard or Cousins ​​facing Whiteside, the offensive efficiency is greatly reduced without Curry's three-pointer support. It is also a blessing that Iguodala, who came on as a substitute, felt good in this game.

, three three-pointers were scored, otherwise the difference would become larger.

The team is in a backward stage, which inevitably makes Grimm feel restless and impatient. The defensive movements begin to grow bigger, and various small movements are emerging one after another.

The foul just now was a malicious foul that Green failed to get stuck in Whiteside when he was grabbing the rebound and was taken offensive rebound by the opponent, which made him angry and embarrassed.

Including this foul, Green had already committed 4 fouls on his back, and the fourth quarter had not yet begun. With such a battle situation, the Warriors have been unable to make it happen.

Cole also understood this truth. This is not a game that determines the outcome. The entire series will have 7 games. Even if you lose one game at the opponent's home court, it is not the end of the world.

Therefore, after the third quarter, seeing that the team had no hope of turning around, Cole chose to replace all the main lineups, preserve his strength, and prepare for the next game.

When Curry sat off the court, sweat wet his clothes all over his body, and his towel was draped over his head, and he kept breathing.

Before this game, he had never thought that his opponent could still play like this? Curry once doubted his life when he was on the court. Why are everyone targeting him? Even a soy sauce player like Middleton faced him when he faced him.

They will hold the ball and play singles without hesitation.

After three quarters of the game, Curry felt that he was more tired than playing a whole game and two overtime games. After all, he almost stopped on the defensive end and kept defending, and he defended so much.

The effort has not yet been able to limit the opponent's scoring, and the frustration of the failure in defense is also affecting Curry's mentality.

As the new NBA MVP, Curry was very energetic before the game. Although the selection result was a bit of a secret operation in the league, he didn't want Wang Chao to easily win the regular season MVP of the sixth consecutive season. The meaning of completely monopolizing this era is in it. But in the final analysis, Curry still has it because of the fact that he has

Only by competing with Wang Chao for this MVP can you finally get the chance to be selected.

In the past five years, even if the league has such an idea, it has not been able to find any player that can be compared with Wang Chao, even James during the Heat.

This regular season MVP gave Curry a lot of confidence, but this confidence was shattered in this game.

112:94.

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets won the first victory in the series with 18 points.

The MVP of Xinke has been unlimitedly targeted in this game. The physical energy consumed on the defensive end is too high, making it difficult to achieve the offensive end. He made only 5 of 21 shots in the game, especially 2 of 12 shots in three-pointers, with only 15 points and 5 points.

6 assists made a record.

Another of the Splash Brothers, Klay Thompson, performed slightly better than Curry, but under the full control of Leonard, it was not much better.

6 of 16 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, scoring 20 points.

Cousins ​​is the most scorer of the Warriors. Even though he was uncomfortable being defended by Whiteside, Cousins ​​is an All-Star center after all, with outstanding offensive ability, making 9 of 22 shots, 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

However, the three most powerful individuals in the Warriors team only performed like this, so losing is naturally a matter of course.

Losing the game is actually nothing. There is no team in this league that has never lost the game, but what makes the Warriors feel is that even after the game is over, they still haven't figured out how to deal with the Rockets' unlimited pick-and-roll military training Curry

method.

If it is Butler, who has a low shooting percentage from outside the three-point line, or Middleton, who has a slightly lack of personal ability, the Warriors can take the risk of going around the pick-and-roll to avoid Curry being singled out and staring at him.

But if Wang Chao only uses this move, the Warriors will not be allowed to leave Wang Chao behind the pick-and-roll to take the opportunity to take the open position in the three-point line.

This is almost a dead end without solution. Unless Curry can qualitatively improve his defensive ability, effectively reduce the opponent's offensive efficiency, and retain sufficient physical strength on the offensive end, there will be no solution.

There is no way, who made you Curry the core of the team? It doesn’t matter if you were singled out on the defensive end, but it wouldn’t work without you on the offensive end?

Two days later, until the second game of the Western Conference Finals began, the Warriors could not come up with a solution.

The result was that in the second game, Curry continued to be singled out and frequently trained military training.

It's not too easy for Wang Chao to play Curry with a single ball, and he doesn't even need other offensive skills. Curry has no choice but to shoot from the outside.

Although Curry, who is 1.91 meters tall, has the nickname of "Golden State Lavender" and has an "amazing" jumping ability, even if he tried his best to jump, he could not reach Wang Chao's shooting.

But Wang Chao did not use too much pull. For him, no matter who defends against the Warriors, scoring is easy and simple. The main purpose of changing pick-and-roll to Curry is to consume his physical strength on the defensive end

, let it do nothing on the offensive end.

Under this goal, shooting from the outside is actually a relief for Curry, because he only needs to follow Wang Chao to jump in defense, just symbolically defending and not being too tired.

Therefore, Wang Chao made a few shots and shots, and in most cases he would choose the ball-holding breakthrough that consumes the most energy.

Wang Chao is not afraid of being tired. Wang Chao, whose physical strength and ability value has already reached 99, plus the physical strength and physical strength of the upgraded version of the long-distance runner, is a strong man who can easily beat the whole game, but a slim dog like Curry

It's completely different.

Even if there is Bogut inside, Green and others can help him with defense and repair, Wang Chao's super strong power often squeezes him to the point of staggering.

The Warriors have tried to rescue Curry.

When the Rockets try to make a pick-and-roll misalignment, Green will cooperate with Curry to double-team Wang Chao directly, trying to force Wang Chao to make a pass mistake, but the tactics fail.

Facing the double-teaming of the two, Wang Chao passed the ball out calmly.

It is not that easy to double-team Wang Chao. At least it must be James and Green's defensive players of the level of Green. The combination of Green + Curry is not enough to block Wang Chao's passing route.

.

In this game, Bogut was no longer called to leave the court for a malicious foul. The rim protection at the basket was of great help to improve the Warriors' overall defense, but Curry was once again over-consuming on the offensive end and could not show his response.

Some strength led to the Warriors losing again.

107:99, the big score was 2:0.

Curry continued his poor performance in this game, scoring only 17 points from 6 of 20 shots.

After two games, the entire league was disappointed with the Warriors and Curry, the new MVP.

"I originally thought that the Warriors, who were only one win behind the Rockets during the regular season, might become a long-lost rival to the Warriors in the playoffs. I didn't expect that the strength gap between the two teams was so big."

"With the same lineup structure, the same running and bombing tactics and small ball lineup, the Rockets not only have more accurate outside lines than the Warriors, but also have their defensive and athletic abilities and athletic abilities. After two games, both three-point shooting percentage and fast attack

In terms of scoring rate, even secondary offense, the Rockets have the advantage, and this is not a close matchup."

"The most disappointing thing is undoubtedly the star of the Warriors, the new MVP Stephen Curry. People have high expectations for him this season. After all, he has broken Wang Chao's five-year monopoly on the regular season MVP, which is new

The only star of tomorrow in the NBA League who has the opportunity to challenge Wang Chao."

"But what's the result? In the Rockets' infinite pick-and-roll misalignment, Curry was so exhausted by Wang Chao on the defensive end, and he did nothing on the offensive end that he was best at. I'm afraid Wang Chao would be disappointed when he faced him.

, That's it? Is it worthy of snatching away my MVP?"

"The Warriors have no way to solve the tactics formulated by the Rockets against them, and it will be difficult to achieve even if they return to the home court. This is the gap in strength between the core players of the two teams and cannot be smeared. Besides, the Rockets are in other positions.

Compared to the Warriors, players are only strong but not weak, so how could they lose?”

On May 23, the Warriors, who returned to their home court, finally started a game. To be precise, Klay Thompson was silent for two games, and finally a game of Buddha's light shines on the sky.

.

Thompson's touch was extremely hot in this game. Even under the defense of Leonard, his shooting percentage was still amazing. He made 12 of 19 shots, 7 of 9 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws.

With 40 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and Cousins' 24 points and 10 rebounds, he finally won a game with a difficulty of 115:109.

Curry still had a 16-pointer in this game, with 6 of 15 shots, but fortunately, with Thompson's performance, he finally won a win, and the score reached 1:2, leaving a trace of hope.

But this hope is also a fleeting dream of Nan Ke.

Because two days later, in the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals on May 25, the Rockets were all in full swing. While the 6 players scored in double digits, Wang Chao, Leonard and Butler scored more than 20 points per game, and the Rockets used four

The season scored a very high score of 128 points.

On the other hand, Curry's condition finally recovered slightly, with 8 of 18 shots scoring 23 points and 4 assists, but in the last game, Thompson, who was shining with light in the game, entered the final reading period, and only 15 points were scored for 6 of 13 shots.

The team only scored 106 points in total.

When the game reached the fourth quarter, all the fans at the Warriors' home court held their heads and looked desperate.

Losing this game, a 3:1 score will mean that the Warriors have almost no chance of a comeback, especially in the fifth series, the Rockets' home court Houston, and take the lead to win?

I originally thought that the match between the Rockets and the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals would be a fierce battle. I didn't expect the situation to be so one-sided. The Warriors were completely beaten by the Rockets with their hair and were beaten to the point of a fierce K.

No power to fight back.

"This Rockets is really too strong. The most terrifying thing is that they are not just Wang Chao, but other players are also very strong. Leonard, who was selected for the Best Second Team and the Defensive Team, defeated Thompson in the entire series.

The suppression was almost impossible to raise his head, and the third-tier player Butler's performance in the series was not inferior to Leonard. Both of them averaged around 20 points in the series, ensuring the Rockets' offensive firepower."

After the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, the whole league believed that the Warriors had no hope. Now the only one who can prevent the Rockets from winning three consecutive championships to create a dynasty is the Cleveland Cavaliers.
