Chapter 396: Curry's Redemption
Strike! If the Warriors have so many who can compete with Linson in terms of scoring, I'm afraid there are only two people, Durant and McGee Durant are tall and long arms, and the bounce is the bounce speed and bounce of the outside player level. Durant is really not weak as a small forward in terms of scoring.
However, obviously, Lin Sen is still stronger in this regard! He took the ball to his side first, and the last minute of the game was left. The Pacers had one point ahead. Both sides had their own advantages. It can be said that everyone has the possibility of victory.
The Warriors still wanted to use the same trick again, and the whole game was pressing tightly, but this time, the Pacers did not give a chance. Hill was in possession of the ball, and the other four quickly landed on the opposite position. Once the Warriors double-teamed, if it was passed, it was very likely that it would be a four-on-three in the frontcourt. For professional players, four-on-four will make them feel infinite space, let alone four-on-three in the scene.
After halftime, Hill transferred the ball to George on the weak side. The three shooters on the strong side began to help George open up space. Iguodala was defending face tonight. This guy has played a lot of time tonight. He has been 32 minutes, but his enthusiasm on the defensive end is still unabated. George did not make any breakthroughs in two consecutive moves, and he took a step back and wanted to take advantage of his height advantage.
After being disturbed, the key was missed, and there was another bloody storm at the basket. Green and Durant had all squeezed to the basket, but this time, Lin Sen was very decisive in determining the direction where the frontcourt rebound would fly out.
Long rebound! On the right side of the penalty area, Lin Sen jumped in advance and grabbed the basketball four feet away from the basket when he was flying. He didn't wait until he landed before taking action. When he got the rebound, Lin Sen directly completed this mid-range shot in the air using air operations.
The difficulty of this ball was too high. Lin Sen's repair defense was disturbed by Green, and his body was not in a balanced state, but Lin Sen still barely threw the ball into the basket with his soft touch.
Unfortunately, the basketball turned around several laps on the basket, but finally slipped out. All the players who stood up on the bench to celebrate were sitting down. This time, Lin Sen, who was far away from the basket, could no longer get the frontcourt rebound.
Back to this side, the Warriors' offense was very straightforward. Curry held the ball and pushed the ball to no one. They lost the championship last year. At the most critical moment, it was his back pass that put the team in a very bad situation. This year, he had to stand up by himself at the last moment.
After the pick-and-roll, he faced CJ Myers. Tonight, CJ Myers' condition was too average. He didn't even stop this MVP for a few seconds. Curry changed his direction to the left and then went to the right to completely distance the distance.
At this moment, Curry was already away from CJ Myers. Lin Sen's defense came quickly, very quickly. He knew that when he had enough time, the best offensive method they chose was the outside line, and the best player to take action was Curry. Who made the Pacers' outside line defense so weak?
Curry's attack point was adjusted very high in order to avoid Lin Sen's attack, and the arc was also very high. This was a magical way to attack.
"This shot is too difficult. Compared to a very long three-pointer, such a three-pointer is obviously more difficult! If this goal is not..." Before Barkley finished speaking, the basketball fell into the basket! He scored, and this goal actually made it?
Barkley's face was full of these words. He really couldn't believe that after Lin Sen blocked Thompson's goal at the beginning, Curry was still so decisively taking Lin Sen's save defense. More importantly, it was incredible that such a difficult ball was even scored.
And Bill Walton had already yelled out the thoughts in Barkley: "Three-pointer, a very difficult three-pointer, Stephen lets us see why he was named the first three-pointer in history when his career just reached its peak. This three-pointer is so exciting and incredible!"
113:109, in the last 18 seconds, the Warriors led by two points, and the Pacers quickly called for a timeout. In any case, the attack in the next round cannot be missed.
The Warriors players came up excitedly to celebrate with Curry. Poor Curry's small body was knocked to the point of being knocked down by the Warriors' big men, but his face was full of excitement, excited for his redemption last season!
Moreover, Curry broke the prejudice of many people. Everyone believed that in the life-and-death battle in the playoffs, Durant was more reliable than himself, and the small forward was more reliable than the defender. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that just last year, the Cavaliers' most critical goal was hit by Irving, and this year, he became the role Irving played last year.
Curry and Durant's performance is really similar this year. Although Durant has won more attack power due to George, the data is not much different from Curry. Although Curry faces easier defense, the key Tianwangshan's performance is very average and he has not even scored 20 points. This is a player like him. If he occasionally plays a game, it will have a great impact on the average number of small samples of the finals.
But if this three-pointer can become the three-pointer that will determine the outcome of the game, then it can be imagined that Curry will have a considerable impression point advantage in MVP voting in the finals.
Warriors fans are already crazy, they are ready to welcome their second championship in three years, and if they hadn't lost the best last season, they'd become a team with three consecutive championships and a new dynasty team.
But it doesn't matter. If they win the championship this year, as long as their main players do not suffer much injuries in the next few years, they will always be the biggest favorite of the championship, which is almost no doubt. And the top priority now is that they have to do a good job in the next round of defense, which is the key. Not to mention leading by 4 points now, even if they lead by 5 points, leading by 6 points is not safe.
