The Warriors are definitely not a weak team. Although people say they cannot win the championship by relying on shooting, they can definitely become a strong team that is highly entertaining to watch.

Lillard performed well in this game, but you can't expect Lillard to cause biting defensive interference for Curry throughout the game.

With Curry's unreasonable long-range three-pointer, the small momentum that the Trail Blazers had finally built up was extinguished again.

At the Oracle Center, as Curry scored a three-pointer, the audience cheered once again.

This unreasonable three-point shot is Curry's biggest weapon.

Not only in terms of scoring, but also in terms of the impact on the opponent's morale.

Lillard was obviously beaten mentally by Curry's frontal "**". He turned around and took advantage of the cover provided by Zhang Feng to shoot a three-pointer from the outside. The bullet came out of the frame. Instead, it was the Warriors' quick

During the attack and counterattack, Curry did not choose to break through for a layup, but made a three-point shot during the counterattack, killing without blood.

Six points in a row made all the Blazers' previous offensive efforts in vain.

29 to 20, the score had just been forced from 8 points to 3 points, but Curry's two three-pointers directly expanded the score further.

When there was not much left in the first quarter, Stotts did not call a timeout. He just shouted to the players on the court to pay attention to Curry's defense.

Fortunately, Lillard later faced Bogut in the pick-and-roll with Yang Feng, and succeeded in a small hit and a big breakthrough, causing Bogut to foul.

While he succeeded in two free throws to close the score, he also sent Bogut off the court to rest.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides went back and forth. The final score was 33 to 25, and the gap between the two sides still remained at 8 points.

The Warriors relied on Curry's performance to directly stabilize the situation without allowing the Trail Blazers to complete their momentum.

In the second quarter of the game, Lillard and Curry, the two leading scorers, had to go down and rest for a while.

As for the Trail Blazers, they originally planned to use Ade's inside advantage to regain a certain number of points.

But things went counterproductive.

Even though Aldridge went down early to rest for a while, he still couldn't find his game form after playing again.

In order to give Aldridge the best offensive space, Zhang Feng was not replaced, but served as an outside fort on the court to open up space for Aldridge inside.

However, facing the opponent's backup power forward, Draymond Green, Aldridge suffered another huge offensive test.

Faced with Green's defense, Aldridge had an advantage in height and weight, but he had no way to back up and get inside.

Green's strength played a huge defensive role, making Aldridge extremely uncomfortable.

There are also harassment of the ball in Ade's hands, various small moves in defense, and even a certain degree of trash talk during the game.

Under Green's defense, Aldridge had a post-up shot that was stolen by Green and counted as a turnover. He missed two turn-over jump shots, which brought the Blazers' offensive scoring to a standstill.

Instead, the Warriors relied on counterattacks to score consecutive points.

The score was instantly stretched to 10 points. However, Ade's state was still unable to contribute points to the team for recovery.

As Adelaide made his fourth shot in the second quarter, Stotts had no choice but to get Lillard ready to play.

Although Aldridge will not be replaced immediately, the team's main attack point still needs to be changed. Looking at the 14-point difference, Stotts does not want his opponent to take away the suspense of the game in half the game.

With the substitution adjustment, the Trail Blazers changed into the starting lineup ahead of schedule. Stotts needed to catch up with the points. With Ade in poor condition and Lopez himself having no offensive threat, he could only rely on the performance of outside players.

If the outside lines can be opened, then the Trail Blazers, who are lame on one leg, can still compete with their opponents on the road. But if the outside lines cannot be opened, then the Trail Blazers, who are lame on two legs, may have to surrender in advance.

.

Fortunately, Matthews played very well today. Two guards, Matthews and Lillard, worked together to use long shots from the outside and breakthroughs from the inside to stop the team's decline and not further expand the score.

However, the Trail Blazers seemed to have stabilized the situation, and the little points they recovered were all based on the fact that the Warriors only had one core player as an outside scorer.

The Warriors coach has enough offensive substitute players on hand to provide Klay Thompson and Curry with enough rest time in turn.

After the two took turns leading the team for most of the second quarter, in the last 5 minutes, the Splash Brothers appeared on the court at the same time, with better physical fitness, to expand the team's score advantage.

After Curry dribbled the ball as a point guard through the half, he handed the ball to David Lee, who was supporting him in the high post. Then he and Bogut completed an off-ball screen during the pass.

Curry went straight to the basket, and David Lee's lob was just right. Lillard was blocked by Bogut, and Lopez's pursuit was slow, allowing Curry to successfully counterattack and get a layup.

Curry's performance is not over yet.

In the next offensive round after the Trail Blazers Matthews made a mid-range shot, Iguodala dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.

Curry, who was positioned in advance, ran without the ball from the right side of the court. With the help of two consecutive screens from center Bogut and David Lee, he reached the 45-degree three-point line on the left along the baseline from right to left.

.

Iguodala's pass was timed just right. Curry caught the ball while running and shot a three-pointer directly.

Lillard's follow-up defense was blocked by two consecutive screens. Although he passed them and was not completely blocked, the follow-up defense was still slow and failed to form a direct defensive threat.

Hollow into the net!

The Warriors fans at the scene were once again excited by Curry's three-pointer.

Even if I can get in, how are you going to defend yourself?

Stotts immediately called a timeout, hoping to interrupt Curry's momentum.

However, after returning from the timeout, not only Curry showed off his strength, but Klay Thompson, who had been silent during this period, also found his shooting feeling.

Three-pointers, mid-range shots, and breakthroughs, the Splash Brothers showed extremely excellent offensive skills in the second half of the second quarter.

Completely crushing the Blazers' defense.

Although Matthews and Lillard also had good offensive shooting percentages, the Trail Blazers still lost in the outside battle due to Aldridge's 0-for-6 shooting and 0 points in the second quarter.

The Splash Brothers scored 22 points together in the second quarter, leading the Warriors to a 34-21 score in the quarter, directly extending the total lead to 21 points.
Chapter completed!
