Chapter 955: Obsession beyond everything

The Warriors tried their best to maintain their lead, and the 76ers who entered the offensive rhythm chased the points in an orderly manner.

They played two timeouts from the Warriors, and took one quarter to fall from 16 points behind to 1 point behind.

Every second puts Jinzhou people in an atmosphere that is so nervous that they can't breathe.

69 to 68

After three quarters, the scores of both sides combined were less than 140 points.

This is really not like a basketball game in 2016, nor is it like a game that a team like the Warriors that averaged 120 points per game in the regular season should play.

But this is the norm in the finals.

No matter what style of basketball you play to the finals, as the intensity increases, the difficulty of offense will increase.

"What the score reflects is the Warriors' dilemma."

Jeff Van Gundy was criticized for his lack of adaptability when coaching. Now he sat in the commentary seat and analyzed the on-site tactics. He always said: "They are not suitable for games of this intensity. Even if they have extraordinary talents, it will be difficult to adapt to the intensity given by the 76ers."

The holidays were rested, and both sides made a little adjustment and prepared to make the last quarter of tonight.

One point difference, anything can happen in a 12-minute game.

The Warriors may lose, and the greatness of 74 wins becomes a footnote to the opponent;

Of course, they also have the opportunity to defeat the 76ers and bring the series back to home court. Taking advantage of the past and present, no team has ever won the away game of the Finals to reverse the 76ers and win the second championship in team history in 41 years.

After playing until now, the Warriors have all their trump cards.

Curry's ankle prevents them from taking out the strongest form, and they are afraid of the 76ers' 41 system and the impact on offensive rebounds. They rarely use the terrifying five-squad lineup in the finals for a long time.

At this time, the Warriors are nowhere to be lost.

They must give themselves an explanation and also an explanation to the fans.

If neither party has a secret, betting on all of them is a way to get the lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors sent Curry, Wall, Thompson, Iguodala, and Green.

This is the five small lineup that they once fought invincible in the world.

In the first two games of the finals, the 76ers' amazing rebounding impact and shocking unlimited defense switching completely exposed the shortcomings of the five small lineups.

Thanks to its unique lineup, the Warriors can defeat 76 people even if they play in the 41 system.

Therefore, they threw away their trump card.

Facing the life and death section, they let go of all their fears and worries and decided to be their true self and fight to the death with the 76ers.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the 76ers overtook the score if they had the chance.

However, Cousins' hook feels a little harder.

The ball rolled aside from his eyes, Curry grabbed the defensive rebound and maintained an even speed. Wei Xia controlled him ahead and did not push him at the pace he was used to. However, he seemed to have made some determination, driving the injured ankle to run at full speed.

He broke through Wei Xia's defense.

Wei Xia didn't expect that he still had this speed now.

Hayward was about to double-team, but Curry stopped carrying the car. This was his signature move. He shook the person aside and gently lifted the ball with his right hand to score.

71 to 68

"This is a good start for the Warriors!"

Indeed, nothing is more exciting than Curry who makes up his mind.

When Curry made a short throw, Wei Xia broke through with the ball, Cousins ​​covered the high post, and Hayward appeared outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

He is ready to catch the ball and shoot, and he is confident that the ball will come.

Wei Xia's ball was passed from the basket to his hands, and all he had to do was throw it out.

71 to 71

"Since the beginning, the 76ers have stood in the same position as the Warriors for the first time!"

The Warriors' counterattack was faster than they thought. Wall returned to the game in the third quarter because of himself lost himself in the fourth quarter. As long as he had the ball in his hand, he would be the point guard with the strongest presence on the court.

Curry, Thompson opens up space for him, and Green and Iguodala both have three-pointers.

When the four people are pulled apart, it is Wall's breakthrough and achievements.

He slashed into the basket like lightning and scored.

73 to 71

Holiday hoped to score quickly like Wall to stop the bleeding, and he overestimated himself.

His breakthrough was far less powerful than Wall. He thought about Wall one-on-one. Although he had the chance, he was not clean. He entered the basket and was affected by Green's assisted defense, and he made a mistake in dropping the ball.

76ers fans will not be unfamiliar with this scene.

Every time the Warriors starts, they are accompanied by mistakes from Holiday or other ball holders.

What's scary is that the ball is in Green's hands, and the other four Warriors have already made fast attacks.

Green grabbed the ball and threw it forward. After Iguodala, who was running in the front, took the ball and drove away the wolf and swallowed the tiger. In the end, he actually had a one-handed buckle from Farid's defense.

"Beep!"

The referee blew a whistle and signaled that Farid was fouled.

A standard and    one.

"Does the Warriors want to take the initiative again?" said Mike Bryn.

Mark Jackson first concluded: "If the Warriors establish a big score lead again, then I believe they will win, because the Sixers don't have the second third quarter to regroup!"

With boos all over the field, Iguodala ignored these fans who had cheered for him.

Swish

He was punished, 76 to 71.

The situation was still evenly divided just now, and in a flash of magical skills, the Warriors led by 5 points.

Their offense is the strongest in the league. Even if the game is so intense, even if Curry can only exert less than half of his offensive firepower compared to usual, they are still the best teams to attack.

This team, which may have the strongest offensive ability in history, is also very good at using smooth offense to drive active defense.

The Little Ball Five has no loophole except Curry.

In addition to insufficient ability to protect the basket and easy protection of defensive rebounds, the offensive and defensive pressure given to the opponent by the small ball lineup is top-notch.

They can switch defenses like the 76ers.

The opponent will immediately hit the inside line. Small body size means strong mobility. The leaked spaces can be compensated by rotating.

The Warriors took the full horsepower, and the 76ers' offensive time was buzzer-beating, but Hayward still made the ball thrown by the ball.

I entered the last time, but this time it wasn't.

Hayward's shooting hand was a little heavier, and suddenly he was carrying the defensive pressure that only Wei Xia could feel. His hand felt like a child's mood, which was unpredictable.

The long rebound popped up and was criticized repeatedly, so that the Warriors themselves were worried about the rebounding problem. When all five of them shrank back and grabbed the rebounds at the basket, the 76ers' rebounding tactics were unsustainable.

What they should consider now is how to retreat and avoid being beaten and counterattacked.

Wall was fouled by Wei Xia in the moment he took the defensive rebound.

Wei Xia knew that once Wall ran, it would be difficult for them to stop even if five of them went to block him.

After Wei Xia made a tactical foul, she retreated to the backcourt with her teammates.

They began to make stricter defenses, and Wei Xia's defense against Curry has reached its peak.

15 seconds later, Curry failed to deceive Wei Xia, and the two collided at the bottom corner.

Wei Xia's left foot hit Curry's butt, which aggravated Wei Xia's pain, but Curry didn't have much problem.

Under the unrestless defensive intensity, Thompson received the ball from the bottom corner and made a strong shot without touching the ball, which was obviously covered.

Green fought for the offensive rebound to prepare for a second attack, but was rejected by Cousins.

Wei Xia, who was lying on the ground before, had already appeared at the landing point of the ball. He picked up the basketball and launched a counterattack on the spot.

Curry fell behind him.

His speed was too fast, as if he had no foot injury.

The Warriors committed a tactical foul on Wei Xia, and the scene that happened immediately made people tremble.

It was obviously a physical confrontation for a foul. Wei Xia's ball fell, and the referee on the sideline actually held the whistle tightly and refused to blow.

Even Wall, who took the initiative to foul Wei Xia, was stunned for a second before he reacted and grabbed the ball.

Wall didn't care about the referee's unstable phishing standards as July day, and he had to catch up.

But it's too late!

Wall rushed to the frontcourt like a storm and passed directly to Curry on the weak side.
