Trailing by 5 points, with 1 minute and 49 seconds left in the game, the Trail Blazers were at an absolute disadvantage on the road.

Stotts did not call a timeout immediately. At this time, he chose to believe that his players could complete the offense. He wanted to save precious timeout opportunities to deal with possible foul tactics.

Lillard dribbled the ball past half court. As the core of the team's backcourt, it was of course time for Lillard to stand up and prove himself.

Zhang Feng proposed to complete the pick-and-roll strategy with Lillard.

This pick-and-roll tactic is the Warriors' favorite in games, but now, facing Zhang Feng and Lillard's pick-and-roll, the Warriors' defense has no good way to break it.

David Lee is not slow to grab the ball, but when faced with Lillard's unreasonable fadeaway shot after completing the pick-and-roll, the defensive threat created by David Lee, who is not that tall, is extremely limited.

Lillard hit a fadeaway jumper and hit the net directly, reducing the team's score difference to 3 points.

With a 3-point difference, a ball possession, and 1 minute and 33 seconds left in the game, the Warriors were also under tremendous offensive pressure in this offensive round.

Similar to the Blazers' previous offense, at the last moment of the game, even if it is difficult to take a shot, the right to take the shot must generally be given to the core players of the team.

In the final stage, Curry's pick-and-roll partner was still his favorite "human shield" Bogut.

Bogut's wide body can give Curry better shooting space.

However, Zhang Feng's attack was much faster than Bogut's.

Lillard was blocked tightly by Bogut, but Zhang Feng quickly stepped forward and interfered with Curry's shot.

Although Curry's shooting skills are fast enough, facing Zhang Feng's height and arm length, there is definitely no way to rely on his shooting speed to make up for the blocking range caused by this height difference.

But when it comes to playing small against big players, Curry has equally rich experience.

Instead of shooting, he dribbled directly inside and used his speed to pass the opponent's high center.

Zhang Feng rushed forward so fiercely that even if the turn was completed, he would definitely be completely behind Curry in terms of rhythm.

For the inside defense, Zhang Feng can only keep chasing, but if he wants to stop Curry, he still has to rely on other supplementary defenses.

Fortunately, Aldridge, who was sleepwalking on the offensive end throughout the game, did a pretty good job defensively at the last moment.

An excellent sideways defense not only interfered with Curry's attack at the basket, Aldridge also used his position selection to interfere with a certain route of Curry's pass to David Lee.

With Aldridge's assisting defense in the front and Zhang Feng's pursuit in the back, Curry felt the offensive pressure at this time, but the 24-second countdown time did not allow him to carry out any more complex offensive tactics.

Hit the ball directly, jump to the outside, and hit the board shot while floating in the air.

The defenses of Zhang Feng and Aldridge both missed. The ball was released very quickly and hit the backboard. Unfortunately, the difficulty of this ball was too high. In the rush, Curry's wrist exerted a little force.

A little bit bigger.

The ball eventually bounced out of the frame.

Aldridge took off the ball twice and picked off the rebound.

Opportunity for pioneers.

The game time is still 1 minute and 10 seconds. For the Trail Blazers, they can have at least two offensive rounds to recover the score.

At the critical moment of the game, Lillard still chose to cooperate with Zhang Feng in the pick-and-roll.

At this time, David Lee switched positions again to face Zhang Feng. The moment the Trail Blazers completed the pick-and-roll, David Lee used his fast movement to directly attack and block Lillard.

Behind David Lee, there was Bogut in the paint, so David Lee didn't hesitate to rush up. Lillard wanted to rush in and hit the paint. Bogut's defensive threat in the three-second zone was still

Huge.

It's just that Lillard didn't choose to hit the ball himself, but lobbed the ball to Zhang Feng on the other side. Zhang Feng played Curry, the tallest versus the shortest.

Although it is sometimes not that easy to play big against small in the NBA. When receiving the ball in the high post, if a big player wants to advance to the inside, he must not only take into account the help of other players of the opponent, but also take into account the next player behind him.

Start to steal.

Therefore, although Curry is destined to be unable to withstand Zhang Feng's next possible push, Curry only needs to do his best to be ready to tackle and steal.

If Zhang Feng really entered the three-second zone, other teammates would help defend him.

However, just when Curry was eager to try and steal the ball tentatively, Zhang Feng had no intention of hitting the inside.

Only one step of dribbling, collecting the ball and directly shooting a long-distance jumper with a slight fadeaway.

It's very similar to Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independence", a hollow hit, and a wonderful mid-range shot in front of Curry.

The score difference was only 1 point. Zhang Feng's mid-range shot made the game more tense, intense and exciting.

At Oracle Arena, although the fans stood up and cheered for the home team under the leadership of the on-site DJ, some vibrato could be heard in the cheers at this time. In the final decisive moment, even though the Warriors were still one point ahead,

However, the fans saw that the team's huge lead was wiped out by 20 points, and they were very worried about seeing the powerful Trail Blazers complete a comeback at home.

In 56 seconds, the Golden State Warriors can completely plan the attack time and have as many as one attack.

Mark Jackson first called a timeout and laid out an offensive strategy for the Warriors.

Try to consume 24 seconds, and then Curry and Clay will choose their own attack method in the final stage.

Of course, if possible, you should still look for opportunities to conduct pick-and-rolls. Whether it is looking for Bogut's pick-and-roll to shoot from the outside, or looking for David Lee, and then use both sides to attack according to the situation. All scheduling must be controlled by Curry with the ball in his hand.

Or Clay's.

There was no glitch in the sideline ball served, and the ball was delivered steadily to Curry's hands.

Curry dribbled the ball near the midline, consuming his own attack time. When the 24-second timer was about 15 seconds away, Curry began to dribble tentatively, trying to open a pick-and-roll with his teammates outside the three-point line.

Chance.

Examining the Blazers' defense, Curry still signaled Bogut to come over for a pick-and-roll. At the last moment, Curry, as the team leader, still chose to decide the outcome of this offensive round by himself.

The Blazers also cooperated and did not directly double-team. If Curry wants to take difficult shots, let him take them. At the last moment, the Blazers' defensive focus is to prevent other Warriors players from taking easy shots.

If Curry wants to take a hero shot, it depends on whether the defensive pressure exerted by the Trail Blazers is strong enough.

Zhang Feng's forward attack was fast and fierce, putting pressure on Curry.

But this time Curry deliberately retreated even more after the pick-and-roll, barely creating a space for a three-point shot, and quickly shot a three-pointer. Zhang Feng's block was not touched, and the ball was still a pass.

Flying to the basket in a smooth arc.

"Bang!"

It was still a little short. In order to avoid Kai Zhang Feng's block, Curry retreated a little further this time. As a result, the shot was not powerful enough and the ball hit the front of the basket directly and bounced out of the frame.

Aldridge once again picked up a backcourt rebound, and the Blazers' opportunity to take the lead was right in front of them.
Chapter completed!
