Chapter 391: The Rhythm of Double MVP
Fortunately, Lin Sen's shouting still had some effect. At this time, Lin Sen's defensive leadership brought back the Pacers' defense, which was almost lost at a critical moment.
In the last few rounds, both sides hit a few goals with each other, and the Pacers still ended the third quarter with 5 points leading by 84:79, and the score was still ahead, but they were not too happy on the Pacers' bench. The impact of Eric Gordon's injury on the Pacers' offensive end has begun to slowly show up in the last few minutes of the third quarter. If Lin Sen hadn't been roaring on the defensive end, he would have been overtaken.
"Hey! Guys, listen, I know Eric won't return to the game, but now it's the last game, you need to stay calm, without Eric, Lin can still hold the ball and create opportunities. We are still ahead of this game. Believe me, in half an hour, we will hold the championship trophy together!" No matter how many times it comes, the first thing you have to do is pour a meal of chicken soup first.
McMillan could clearly feel that the players from home are in a normal state now! Or rather than just being in a state, without Gordon's ability to hold the ball around the pick-and-roll on the outside, there was a lot of missing things on this Pacers tactical board at once.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors were eager to recover their behind scores, and now they once again set up their own five-square lineup. How can this lineup be said? They have strong offensive ability, and when the Pacers are now struggling, it is a good opportunity for the Warriors to chase points.
Curry just scored two three-pointers at the end of the third quarter. This time it was Durant's turn. George's defense still had no change. It did not affect his mentality because of Gordon's injury. The defense was still very serious, but this time Durant's self-confidence increased and he still completed the breakthrough very decisively when he was disturbed.
A mid-range throw! Durant's goal is very difficult and he scored beautifully. George is chasing and Lin Sen is making up, but none of this affects this goal that is a great scorer in NBA history.
The score difference was narrowed to the gap of one ball at the beginning, which made it difficult for Pacers players to feel that they are still ahead of the opponent and already feel that they are going to be chased for the difference in their identities.
The offensive end was a little anxious. Hill's pass was discovered by Curry, and he accelerated and attacked directly with the ball. He suddenly stopped at the three-point line, throwing all the players who were chasing him away. He hit a three-pointer to tie the score!
"This is the ability of MVP. This year, Stephen and Kevin have won the regular season MVP in the past three years! If they hadn't entered the same team, they were both sacrificing for data, I believe that they would still be popular candidates for MVP this year!"
"Whether it was Stephen or Kevin, they played very clearly in these two rounds, and that was the effect of personal ability!"
It's just one man and one goal. The Pacers' 5-point lead that they still maintained in the third quarter is gone. It can be said that the Pacers are even at their disadvantage now.
More importantly, it can be seen from Hill's pass that this one should have been the biggest surprise tonight, but after a long surprise, it is easy for the opponent to discover the weakness of this surprise. The surprise is not only joy, but also surprise! This is because he caught the opponent off guard. At this time, Hill is only 188cm, and his speed is not fast! Thompson himself defends himself, and players like Thompson don't restrain Eric Gordon very much, but the one who restrains the most is a player like Hill. Without Gordon attracting firepower, Hill's role is difficult to play.
This gives the Warriors the opportunity to play in double MVP! Talking is just the first step, and the next thing to do is to overtake and open the score!
The pick-and-roll was the first step in their tactics in the fourth quarter. Curry easily hit the middle distance with the help of Durant's pick-and-roll. After dribbling behind the ball and opened up the space with George, he did not choose to take action, but instead passed the ball to Durant's hand who cut the ball away.
The latter was not afraid of Lin Sen's assisting defense when receiving the ball. He took action very comfortably at this position. He took a step back and avoided Lin Sen's block, and then threw it again as if it was started.
As the four-time scoring champion, Durant has always had many scoring methods. When facing the best defensive player like Lin Sen, he can also score in a very reasonable way based on the opponent's defensive position.
The Warriors' double MVP rhythm became more and more. All their tactics started from Kudu pick-and-roll, and then ended. In the middle, Green, a guy who had not been accurate for a long time, made a hit with a blacksmith, and every other attack was basically done.
What is mvp? mvp is the kind that can play well and can drive players. Whether it is just scoring or other methods, this is the value of mvp. Nowadays, Warriors, Curry and Durant are all playing such effects.
2 points, 4 points, 7 points. It is hard to say where the Pacers defend is problematic when you watch the game, but the reality is that the Pacers can't defend, just like borrowing money to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall! There will always be loopholes in the end.
Lin Sen simply stopped receiving the ball from the inside line because Hill couldn't pass it in at all. Lin Sen finally completed a single after receiving the ball outside the three-point line. A jump shot similar to the Golden Rooster at the middle distance made Durant have no choice? Why not enter the inside line? Because just behind Durant, Green's assisted defense also came, and the Pacers' entire team did not run out of the open position because of the assisted defense on the opposite side. Lin Sen's attack was purely forced.
It can be said that Lin Sen is now in the rhythm of the MVP-level superstars, and he is the only problem. George is not bad at defending, but on the offensive end tonight, he seemed to have forgotten the right to fire in his hands.
2 points, 4 points, 7 points. It is hard to say where the Pacers defend is problematic when you watch the game, but the reality is that the Pacers can't defend, just like borrowing money to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall! There will always be loopholes in the end.
