Chapter 574 Parker is in a hurry
Curry advanced to the frontcourt and faced Parker. This time he didn't call a screen, but took advantage of his height and directly stepped back for a three-pointer!
Parker's single defense is really mediocre. He can't defend Curry, so he can only fight hard.
As a result, before Curry could make a shot, he knocked Curry to the ground.
The referee immediately whistled and pointed at Parker.
Parker smiled and helped Curry up. He didn't make any excuses. The foul was too obvious.
Curry also patted Parker on the back, very friendly.
Three free throws!
Curry walked to the free throw line, there was no suspense, and he made three free throws!
17: 13!
The Warriors continue to lead.
In the next few rounds, the Spurs played very smoothly and the score kept rising, while the Warriors' offense stumbled.
The main reason is that Curry is not so stable anymore.
More than 9 minutes into the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 24:21, and the Spurs led by 3 points.
Then the old Nelson called a timeout, and the two sides were about to replace the substitute lineup.
The Warriors are already behind, and Zhou Yang is about to make an early appearance.
The Spurs Manu Ginobili is about to debut, if he is beaten, the Warriors will be in a tough fight in the second quarter.
The timeout ended, and Zhou Yang and Ginobili appeared on the stage at the same time.
The two are also old friends, and they often chatted together during international competitions.
But this is a game, and both of them have to give their best.
Warriors attack.
Facing Leonard's single defense, Zhou Yang broke in again.
Ginobili came over to help defend, and slapped it down, trying to cut the ball.
But the basketball seemed to be welded to Zhou Yang's hands and remained motionless.
Zhou Yang went to the basket, attracted the defense, and then passed to Turiaf on the right side of the basket.
The pass was so good that the Spurs players were fooled.
Turiaf easily ate the pie and scored two points.
The Spurs attack.
Ginobili broke through with the ball, faced the Warriors inside, made a serpentine breakthrough, and also scored two points.
Zhou Yang was held back tightly by Leonard, unable to help defend.
Leonard's static strength is really strong, Zhou Yang really can't get rid of that thick body easily.
Although Ginobili is getting older and his head is bald, he is still at his peak, and it is no problem to fight for two to three 10 minutes every game.
And the tactical changes he brought to the Warriors' bench are not available to other Spurs players.
At 26:23, the Spurs still led by 3 points.
In the next few rounds, Zhou Yang and Ginobili became the offensive engines of both sides.
After the first quarter, the two teams scored 33:31, with the Spurs leading by 2 points.
This is the biggest challenge the Warriors have encountered since this year's playoffs.
Warriors fans are nervous.
The Spurs seem to have come prepared and played sternly, but the Warriors are not playing so comfortably.
Before the start of the second quarter, Old Nelson decided to let the Splash Brothers rest below and replace them with a full bench.
Although he also knows that the pure substitute lineup may not be able to beat Ginobili, but the physical strength of the Splash Brothers also needs to be restored.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Ginobili showed his power.
The Warriors' substitutes worked hard, but they were still too young in front of the old Manu Yaodao.
The difference is slowly widening.
Ginobili's touch is hot today. Not only is he invincible through breakthroughs, but he is also very accurate in three-pointers.
He scored a three-pointer in the left and right corners, directly widening the point difference to 10 points.
The Warriors' home fans quit and shouted, let the head coach replace the Splash Brothers!
But the old Nelson sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not intend to change players.
He knew that Zhou Yang had the ability to control the point difference within 10 points in the first half.
After more than 5 minutes in the second quarter, the score of the two teams came to 46:34, and the Warriors fell behind by 12 points.
Old Nelson called a timeout.
He didn't say much, but he called the Splash Brothers to him and patted the two of them on the shoulders.
The silence speaks.
Zhou Yang and Curry will understand.
The Spurs have the strength to compete for the championship, and the first game is very important.
Today, no matter what, we must win the game.
If you want to win the game, you must narrow the point difference to single digits in the first half!
Zhou Yang and Curry knew the importance of the second half of the second quarter.
After the timeout, the game continues.
The Spurs replaced the main lineup again, and Manu Ginobili came off to rest.
As soon as Zhou Yang came up, he played a pick-and-roll with Curry.
Fans who are familiar with the Warriors know that the Warriors will not easily use the splash pick-and-roll trick.
As long as it is used, it is about to start bombing indiscriminately.
Sure enough, Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Zhou Yang immediately stepped forward to cover.
The moment the two crossed and separated, Curry immediately passed the ball to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang pretended to break through to attract the defense, but he made a pass from behind, whoosh!
The ball was passed to Curry,
There was a gap in front of Curry, which was really not used to Curry.
No way, Zhou Yang's pass was too subtle.
Swish!
Curry shot a three-pointer, piercing the heart with an arrow!
After scoring the goal, Curry ran to Zhou Yang excitedly, and the two hit their chests and yelled.
At 46:37, the point difference returned to single digits.
The Spurs players were a little nervous.
Parker pushed forward with the ball again, using the cover to attack the restricted area.
Just when Parker wanted to make a small throw, Zhou Yang came out again, pop!
Fanned the ball directly.
It's normal to block shots, but Zhou Yang's block is not a block at all, but a catch.
After the ball was slapped down, the force was not strong, and it fell right in front of Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang immediately dribbled forward and launched a counterattack.
Barbosa and Curry rushed in on both sides to respond, and the Spurs' defense appeared chaotic.
The main reason is that the Spurs didn't expect Parker to be intercepted.
Parker is fast, has a low chassis, and has good movement and control skills. Basically, he will not be intercepted.
But Zhou Yang still caught the ball by surprise, and launched a counterattack before the Spurs players could react.
Leonard pounced on Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang didn't take credit, and passed a cross to Curry.
Curry made another three-pointer!
It's a pity that it didn't hit this time, boom!
Out of the basket.
It's a pity that the Spurs' defensive players have not yet reached the three-point line.
A body suddenly hit the penalty area, soared into the air, grabbed the ball, and slammed it hard into the basket!
boom!
Succeeded in deduction!
It turned out to be Zhou Yang.
When Leonard made a shot from Curry, he subconsciously thought that Curry would definitely hit, so he didn't move his feet.
And Zhou Yang accelerated, almost chasing the basketball and killing it to the basket.
This is experience and basketball awareness. Zhou Yang is two grades better than Leonard.
The 13-year-old Leonard is still a little tender.
This supplementary deduction detonated the atmosphere of Oracle Arena, and the fans cheered loudly.
This is the Warriors, this is the Splash Brothers!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Popovich quickly called a timeout.
The morale of the Warriors is high, and the Spurs players are a little confused and need a timeout to slow down.
Zhou Yang and his teammates clapped hands one by one and shouted loudly: "We must catch up! Trust us!"
