"The Warriors kicked our ass!

I have to take the main responsibility for this."

Coach Stotts took the blame,

"Zhou performed very well today and scored a big triple-double. Although his performance beyond the three-point line was not satisfactory, to be honest, his performance was still at the MVP level!"

"We had some problems with our defense tonight, but the bigger problem is our offense. I believe we will solve this problem in the next game."

…

"The Warriors' defense is really interesting."

The next day, after studying the game video in the video room, Zhou Si and coach Stotts communicated.

There used to be an old-fashioned defense in the NBA called box and one.

One defender plays man-to-man defense, usually guarding the opponent's offensive core, while the other four play zone defense.

The Warriors' strategy in the last game was just the opposite: three players defended man-to-man, and the remaining two players defended in the zone.

Love is guarding the paint area and Green is roaming on the strong side. As soon as Zhou Si or Lillard gets the ball, they can quickly double-team!

The Warriors' defense really played a big role in Zhou Si and Lillard's low offensive efficiency.

Cole doesn’t just show off either.

Of course, this defense also has loopholes, that is, Millsap will be left open most of the time.

In the last game, Millsap only scored 10 points on 5 of 13 shots, which was not very efficient. This is why Green dared to say harsh words after the game and let others beat them to death.

Now the Blazers have two ideas, one is for Zhou Si and Lillard to continue to work hard, and the other is to assist teammates and help them open up first.

This move by the Warriors really posed a small problem for the Trail Blazers.

…

That night, Cavaliers fans who had been happy the night before became depressed.

Because this night, J.R. Smith transformed into the opponent's "Best Sixth Man" and helped the Cavaliers lose the game.

It’s hard for Cavaliers fans to accept that it’s the same guy who scored 7 points on 2-of-12 shooting tonight and 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting the night before!

Big score 1:1!

The Eastern and Western Conference finals look very intense.

At this time, Barkley's remarks aroused widespread discussion among fans.

"This has nothing to do with the greatness of the Trail Blazers, or the greatness of the Warriors or LeBron.

But I've never seen the NBA as bad as this. We have a bunch of college players who don't know how to play.

This disappoints me because I want to see more competitive basketball.

This is truly the worst of times."

Buckley then added:

"We conducted a survey among our colleagues...

How many NBA teams are worth buying season tickets for?"

"The six teams from the West plus the Cavaliers and Bulls from the East...

This is not a good thing for the league."

"There is no chance of a close match now...

To be honest, this summer will determine the life or death of the NBA.

Any team can afford to pay any player a high salary.

If these players (top players) stick together, the league will have only five or even fewer good teams, and the other teams will be terrible, and the league will become a shoddy product.

The worst possible times are yet to come!”

Netizens praised Barkley's remarks one after another.

Ten years ago, almost every team had a star player, and the dual-core players were all highly equipped. Now it feels like it is difficult for even the Big Three to win the championship!

Zhou Si also silently liked this.

Super teams are great, but the NBA is really exciting when a hundred flowers bloom.

Xiko Dongai, North Carolina Nanmai, Sharks, Wolf King, Driver, Dayao, GDP, Nash, Kings Five, Pistons Five...

What an enviable era!

Then, the official website of FIBA ​​announced the full schedule of the Rio Olympics men's basketball competition. The Chinese team will welcome the United States team in the first game on August 7, Beijing time!

Zhou Si is not in the mood to care much about this now, because their G3 game against the Warriors continues after a three-day break.

This time the Blazers are very determined and must win all two home games of the Warriors!

On May 22, Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals will continue at Oracle Arena in Oakland!

Oracle Arena and Rose Garden Arena were completely surrounded by fans!

Fanatic Bay Area people believe that the Warriors, who have gained home court advantage, have found the key to victory. As long as they use their home court advantage to win the next two games, advance to the finals, and win the championship, it will definitely be their Warriors.

!

Just like the previous game, Curry once again performed a logo shot during the warm-up, still 5-for-5!

As the playoffs progress, Curry's condition is getting better and better!

"Oh, he is indeed a historical three-point shooter. Curry's touch is really unique!"

Director Zhang praised.

"What do you think of today's game?"

Ke Fan asked.

The audience in front of the TV also pricked up their ears.

Although Director Zhang likes to talk without thinking, his analysis is still very professional in many cases.

"The Blazers will definitely make adjustments in today's game, and the Warriors will definitely have ways to deal with it.

The two teams broke through the siege and reached the top of the Western Conference. In fact, the difference in status and strength is only a millimeter. The key is to look at the on-the-spot performance.

I think the trend of this game is still the same as the previous two games. The two sides will be in a stalemate most of the time, and then a team that plays well has a high chance of winning the game."

"Director Zhang is right, just like Zhou Si's explosion in the first quarter of the first game and Curry's 16 points in the third quarter of the last game."

Ke Fan added.

"Yes, and the performance of the substitutes is also crucial, such as Jokic in the first game and McCollum in the second game."

Director Zhang commented confidently.

At this time, both starters took the field, just as they did on the field, with no adjustments.

McGee easily beat Green and gave the Blazers the opportunity to attack first!

"Defense—!"

"Defense—!"

As soon as the game started, fans in the Bay Area cheered in unison to cheer for the team!

Their Oracle Arena is also home to the Devils!

Amid the fanatic cheers of the fans, Millsap missed an open shot from mid-range after Zhou Si's sudden score!

The Warriors still adopted the same defensive method as in the previous game, three-to-two.

The Trail Blazers also gave their own countermeasures, starting with Millsap who was released by the Warriors, but it didn't seem to be very effective.

The rebound was confiscated by Big Mouth Green, and he quickly counterattacked in the middle!

After halftime, Green passed the ball to Curry at the top of the left arc.

Curry made continuous changes of direction and brought him to the three-second zone. Then he made an emergency stop and took off on one foot from mid-range to hit Courtney Lee's shot!

Just like what the Warriors players said, they must have practiced extra hard on this difficult shot, because the Trail Blazers' tough defense will not give them a good offensive opportunity!

There were bursts of cheers at the scene, this is their MVP!

The Trail Blazers attack, Lillard also points to Millsap when faced with double-teams!

"boom!"

Still no shots from mid-range!

Green collected the rebound and counterattacked quickly, and Thompson hit a three-pointer despite Lillard's pursuit!

0:5!

As soon as the Warriors opened the game, the Splash Brothers looked like they were going to do it.

In this game, the Warriors obviously want to take it away in one wave!
Chapter completed!
