Chapter 600: Immune Chicken Soup
"I didn't expect that now you already have such insights. When should the first female head coach appear in the NBA?" Mark Jackson, as the former head coach, did not see what the coaching teams of the two teams wanted to do at the first time, and at this time he could see this.
Linson got out again at this time, but the Warriors also let their Durant and Thompson return to the field. Just now, these two people took on most of the firepower of the Warriors. Among the 37 points just now, Curry and Durant teamed up to score 28 points.
"Lin, Kevin and Clay are all out. Their crazy offense should be stopped!" O'Neal felt too crazy. As a fat man, he doesn't like to see such a game scene. This will make him feel that his whole body is affected by this game scene, which makes him have the urge to continue playing.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the two teams did not stop their pace. Oladipo was the first to attack in the first round. Without Thompson and Iguodala, the one who defended Oladipo now uses Nick Young. In this situation, it is impossible for Curry or Cook to defend Oladipo. Such a defense may be directly attacked by Oladipo into the penalty area at the first time.
However, Nick Young was able to keep up with Lin Sen's rhythm in physical strength when defending Oladipo. However, in the past, in the Wizards and the Lakers, he had already understood one thing, that is, Nick Young's experience and defensive habits on the defensive end were of no use when facing Oladipo.
Oladipo used several changes to directly get rid of the taller Nick Young and completed the attack with a jump shot from the middle distance.
Both sides scored 40 points in a single quarter. Looking at their offensive efficiency, even 50 points in a single quarter is not a dream. Curry's three-pointer is still the Warriors' favorite scoring method at this time, especially when Durant and Thompson both got out of the court, everyone knew that the core offensive player of this team on the court was Curry.
Oladipo was staring very hard, but he couldn't resist the two consecutive pick-and-rolls that made him unable to keep up. Curry would take action directly as soon as he found an opportunity, without hesitation. However, he had no action in the second quarter, and he had a hot touch in the first move.
The Warriors' first overtake was over, and this time, they scored 40 points in the second quarter, which was too high. The Warriors' team was not very strong, but after Curry's attack, the Warriors who overtaked were very excited. In the last few minutes of the second quarter, they gave the Pacers 7:2, and ended the first half at 79:73.
"I didn't expect that the Warriors would actually overtake at this time. They didn't want to end their season here and they had to defend their home court at the Oracle Arena anyway."
"When Lin was not on the court, the Warriors' offense was so comfortable. Such an offensive rhythm would be what the Warriors wanted. In each round, they only need about 10 seconds to complete an attack, and it would be an attack with a success rate of more than 50%.
Everyone was excited when watching such an offensive battle. Warriors fans didn't even want to leave their seats during the halftime break. Not to mention anything else, such an offense has not been seen in their home team for a long time. They felt that everything was back, and the Warriors team was back, and the confidence that they were lost by the Pacers after losing three consecutive games also came back.
The Pacers were not a little uncomfortable because they were chased back by the opponent at the last moment. Lin Sen only played for about 4 minutes in the entire second quarter, which was completely different from the Warriors who only let Durant play for a few minutes or Curry play for a few minutes.
Lin Sen is the only core of the Pacers. He is not present, and the Pacers' offensive tactics are half reduced. Even if the Warriors do not have Durant, the basic framework of the 73-win Warriors in 2016 is still there, and Barnes can just replace them with Nick Young. Such a Warriors are also the top offense in the league.
Even if Curry is not there and Durant is present, there is no difference. As the strongest indiscriminate singles player in the league, Durant only needs a pick-and-roll player and a cake-eating player, so that he can play a good attack effect. Many people can understand by looking at the Thunder directly. If he loses him, adds George and Anthony, this will not save the offensive ability of the Thunder.
The Warriors can maintain a lot of offensive modes, but there is only one Pacers, that is, let Lin Sen lead the team. Although Oladipo plays well, he still has no way to compare with players like Curry, Durant, and Lin Sen who have completely own systems. Perhaps in 1v1, he can suppress Curry, but in the entire court, Curry is obviously more able to drive the rhythm.
"It's okay, Victor, you're still young and improving. Besides, you will become a new champion in half an hour." Lin Sen patted Oladipo's shoulder and comforted him. This last period was also a trial for Oladipo. His first breakthrough was very good, and he got the only score in the next two minutes, but he had no way to drive his teammates to be as effective as the Warriors.
Oladipo looked at Lin Sen, who was relaxed and curled his lips. You had been resting below for so long, and then the team fell behind because of your rest, so naturally you didn't have much pressure. If you lose this game, you have to take the blame again.
At such a critical moment of halftime break, head coach McMillan did not make any tactical adjustments at all. All he needed to do was to increase Lin Sen's playing time in the second half.
"Lin, are you ready to finish the game in the second half? The idea of winning the championship at home is really beautiful. Winning the championship with the cheers of home fans is naturally the best scene. However, we have done this once last year. Let's celebrate this year in a different way."
McMillan was quite serious about giving this chicken soup, but it didn't seem to have any good effect on Lin Sen, the master of chicken soup. Lin Sen waved his hand and maintained his competitive state by the way, and then said: "Boss, you don't need to motivate me anymore, go and see Victor! I think he needs your help more, you are the rest of me to play."
