Chapter 1035 [Joining the finals, the goal is too stupid]

The Spurs returned to home court and won 113-100 in the third game, leading 2-1 in the total score.

Coach ** Coach Vic made adjustments to the Warriors' style of play, allowing players to strictly prevent three-point shooting and defenders from breaking through, and put in mid-range shots. They would rather be shot dead by their opponents from mid-range than allow the Warriors to shoot outside the three-point line.

The Warriors players are all in their years of playing, and their overall running distance is one-quarter more than the Spurs, but their shooting choices are a bit simple and inexperienced.

Under the leadership of the GDP combination, the Spurs players have better tactical qualities and cooperation awareness. They shoot 12% more open shots in this game than the Warriors, which is the key to winning.

Curry was completely lost, making 7 of 18 shots, 0 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 16 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and his shooting percentage was only 38.9%. Tony Parker made 11 of 17 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 28 points and 7 assists, and his shooting percentage was 64.7%.

The fourth game continued to be played at the Spurs at home.

Curry was in a slump in two consecutive games, making 5 of 15 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 11 points and 10 assists. Parker made 7 of 13 shots, made 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 18 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists.

Parker's data is better than Curry, which is an unexpected surprise, but the Spurs lost, 111 to 114, with a total score of 2 to 2.

Parker is not alone in defending Curry. The key is to keep double-teaming on the three-point line on the Spurs, letting players such as Iguodala, Green, and Carol take action.

Curry attracted double teams and quickly transferred the ball, and his teammates shot.

Carroll played for 24 minutes, made 6 of 9 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 16 points. He used to be a blue-collar boy who was mainly defensive, and the Warriors made a very wide formation, and Carroll also began to play on the offensive end.

Redick made 25 minutes out, made 6 of 9 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points and 5 rebounds. He and Curry formed a weakened version of the "Splash Brothers" combination.

In parallel worlds, there are always people who criticize Curry and say he is "system Redick". In fact, it is really like Redick who runs around without a ball to cover, which is enough for the opponent's coach to have a headache.

The Warriors scored 6 players in double digits, while the Spurs scored 5 players in double digits, all playing team basketball, and the stars did not make random moves. The Spurs lost in the overly persistent double-teamed Curry.

Although Curry's breakthrough ability is not as strong as Guo Xu, he imitates Guo Xu's playing style vividly. The Spurs were eliminated by Guo Xu too many times, including **Vicci, and when he saw Curry playing this way, he couldn't help but double-team, fearing that something would happen if he didn't double-team.

The fifth game started at the Warriors' home court, and both sides fought for an overtime, and the Warriors laughed to the end, 115 to 111.

The Spurs scored the most points is substitute Boris Dior. He played for 36 minutes, made 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 7 of 10 free throws, and scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Dior's high-level support is very magical, he is a flexibly fat man, but his super-level performance cannot help the team win. He can play 36 minutes mainly because of the Spurs' lineup, and veteran Duncan has no physical strength until the end.

The Warriors players showed their physical advantages. The young Curry played for 48 minutes, made 18 of 35 shots, 6 of 14 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 44 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. The shortcoming was that there were 6 turnovers.

Livingston also performed well, playing for 29 minutes on the bench, making 6 of 8 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

When the Spurs made a mid-range shot, the Warriors allowed Livingston and Middleton to play more, making it difficult for their opponents to block. They were tall and long, and they could easily lead to misalignment. When the Spurs doubled against Curry, they also got several open positions.

Guo Xu was a commentator in Oakland again in this game. He enjoyed a wonderful game. He praised Curry for a few words when he had the chance. In this game, Curry really looked like his successor. He made a firm move and went in the face. He scored a three-pointer two meters outside the three-point line in the middle.

This game also laid a fatal hidden danger for the Spurs, and the veterans have too much playing time.

In the sixth game, Duncan made 6 of 14 shots, 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 19 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. He, a 38-year-old veteran, is braver than the younger Lopez, but his shooting percentage of 42.9% is a bit miserable.

Lopez made 8 of 16 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and his performance was not worse than Duncan. He hardly entered the penalty area in the whole game, occasionally cut one, mainly receiving the ball from outside, and hitting a good shooting percentage.

The Spurs also missed the outside line, making only 3 of 18 three-pointers. The number one three-pointer, Danny Green, became Iron Lin, with 1 of 7 shots.

No matter how the Spurs cover, the Warriors are very active in switching defenses. They first defend three-pointers and then control the penalty area to ensure that a player defends near the penalty area and let Split out.

The Spurs replaced Split to allow Matt Bonner, who could shoot three-pointers, to play, and their defense was much worse. The athletic ability and height and wingspan of both were not at the same level.

Warriors' veteran inside player Scola is experienced. He can fight Duncan alone near the penalty area and catch mid-range shots on the offensive end. He played for 17 minutes on the bench, made 5 of 6 shots, made 2 of 2 free throws, scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Duncan has a height advantage against Scola, but his inaccurate distance in this game is directly related to the decline in physical strength.

The Spurs management has done a lot of regrets. When they traded Scola to the Rockets, they would definitely rank in the top three. Scola's real shooting percentage in the playoffs was only 50.5%, but he was more reliable than Monroe at critical moments.

Monroe needs to hit the basket to perform. Scola received the ball accurately and can help his teammates create opportunities. He is more suitable for the Warriors' offensive system.

Monroe previously refused the Warriors' early contract renewal. The Warriors offered him an annual salary of tens of millions. He felt it was too little and wanted to try the free market in the summer. Judging from his playoff performance, it is impossible to get a maximum salary contract.

Monroe is a player with no characteristics. He can do everything in every way. He can occasionally play an open position in the mid-range shot, but he can't practice his tricks. He plays average low-post strength and has no dominance. Monroe is not bad as a role player, and if a team gives him a big contract, he will definitely regret it.

The Warriors defeated the Spurs 108-92 in the final game and advanced to the finals 4-2.

In the Eastern Conference Finals one day later, the Nets eliminated the Cavaliers 4-2 and entered the finals.

James averaged 35 points per game in the series, and it was not easy for him to lead the team to win two games. Isaiah Thomas is the second hero of the team. He averaged 19 points and 6 assists per game in the series, and performed well, and his breakthrough Nets were not easy to defend.

The hero of the Nets is the newcomer Nowitzki, who beat Boozer at the No. 4 position. When he first joined, many people said that he wanted to compete for the championship, but it turned out that he was the Nets' "thigh". He averaged 22.3 points per game in the playoffs, shot 49.4%, shot 44.3%, and free throws of 92.9%.

Nowitzki is still able to make fouls alone this season, averaging 5.6 free throws per game. He has star teammates as partners in the Nets, and he is much more comfortable than when he was in the Mavericks. It is difficult for his opponent to double-team him, and others cannot let go.

How many years has Nowitzki been cheated by the Mavericks? Apart from Jason Trier, there are no reliable teammates on the outside. Ariza and Kidd joined later. Danpier, who can be released at will, has been cheated by Nowitzki for 6 years and doesn't want to trade other teams.
