Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight: mutual self-isolation
"117:105, the Pacers won their first victory in the second finals, and Lin dominated the fourth quarter offense. He was the strongest inside, the strongest center, and even the strongest player this season."
Lin Sen can only play his normal performance now, facing a team with weak inside line, such as the Warriors, with such low-level heights as the Warriors, and it is a common operation for him to play such data.
The key point of winning in this game today is that the Pacers' outside shooter exploded. Bogdanovic scored 22 points from 6 of 9 shots from 3-pointers, Garlinari scored 21 points from 4 of 7 shots from 3-pointers, and the three scored 20 points. Even though Oladipo's performance was average and Gordon basically had a negative impact on the whole game, they still won.
The first point of the Warriors' strategy in this game is to limit Lin Sen, but when facing such an inside player, the Warriors have tried every possible way they can think of, but it did not play any role.
But they did a good job in the second point. Everyone believes that the Pacers, besides Lin Sen, are the most important thing to do is their double guards. Indeed, there is no problem with Oladipo's performance this year and Gordon's identity as the "third giant" in the Pacers' championship team last year.
Iguodala and Thompson did a good job in defense. They almost frozen the Pacers' double defenders in this game on the outside. Apart from counterattacks, Oladipo rarely made any decent attacks in the game. But he never expected that the two European shooters on the Pacers' outside burst out.
"That's the truth. As a team with strong three-pointers, we were killed by the opponent in the way we were best at, especially Lin's three-pointer, which was a goal that killed the game." Kerr was quite helpless in the interview after the game. For the opponent's performance on this day, it was obviously unexpected that the Pacers even hit 2 more three-pointers than the Warriors.
"Of course, what we want to limit most is Lin, but unfortunately we didn't do this. He did whatever he wanted in our penalty area tonight."
Kerr said it was very simple. Lin Sen was not restricted from the penalty area, and the outside line did not restrict the opponent's shooter. In this case, the Warriors only lost more than ten points. I have to say that the Warriors' offense is very good.
Not only Cole, who lost the game, even McMillan, who won the game, was not very satisfied with the Pacers' defense tonight. He scored 48 points in the second quarter, which made McMillan always proud of his team's defense. But this time, this forty-eight points was considered a shame for the Pacers. Although they finally won the game, their defense was not a problem in this quarter, but the opponent still scored 48 points. This shows how powerful the offense the Warriors showed in this quarter.
The next game should still be held in Indiana. During these days, no one thought about doing anything else. Training. For them now, what they need to do is training.
The Pacers trained defense, and the Warriors began to strengthen their three-pointers. For them, the last game actually made the opponent's three-pointers a little more than they scored.
The reporter wanted to interview the two teams, but they didn't ask anything, or they simply didn't even see the faces on the other side. There were some media interview days, but now there were no such things.
And the second game is coming soon, and the Warriors' only idea is to bring back a victory in Indiana to Oakland.
This time, the Warriors changed their thinking on the defensive end from the beginning. In the last game, it was obvious that they doubled Lin Sen to get back with their heavy price, because Lin Sen's pass made their group of three-pointers have already scored their best form. More importantly, they have already doubled Lin Sen, but Lin Sen still played abnormal data. It seems that there is no big difference between them or not defending seriously.
At the beginning of the game, Lin Sen had a feeling that this game was particularly relaxed. Basically, no one could easily compete with himself. At this time, McGee still chose McGee to defend alone. McGee's defensive height is at the same level and his physical fitness is also online. Let him face Lin Sen, which can still play a role in a few minutes when his mind is clear.
At this time, McGee received a dead order and tried hard to hold Lin Sen at the beginning. Because of the Warriors' defensive tactics, Lin Sen wanted to open the gap from McGee at the beginning, and there was nothing wrong with this. Lin Sen was against McGee and was still single-defense. Any coach would want to open the gap from here. There was no problem with this idea.
However, Lin Sen was given a big hat by McGee in the first round of the offense. His playing style was still similar to before. Lin Sen still found a way to catch the ball in the inside and use his height to hit the opponent with a sky hook. However, in everyone's opinion, the sky hook was given a super hat by the opponent, and he didn't even react.
The Warriors' counterattack is a well-known word for fast. Curry's counterattack came too quickly, and he chose the three-point line to solve this fast attack with a quick three-pointer. Since Durant came, he has fewer Cavaliers in such operation, and there are not so many unreasonable three-pointers. Curry did not have the outrageous performance in 2016, but at this time, when you need him to show such abilities, he will take it out without hesitation.
From the beginning, everyone could clearly feel the heat of this Warriors' form and the confidence to win the game.
The slogans in the Bankers’ Life Arena are very obvious. Even in the face of this warrior, they still did not give up the idea of fo-fo that they proposed at the beginning and shouted the slogan they had always been on the court. Even now they still want to sweep the game continuously, but in fact, it is a little difficult.
