The Golden State Warriors are no vegetarians.
In the next offense, Shen Huan clearly pushed Klay Thompson to the baseline, but he still made a beautiful cross pass, and it was in Curry's hands in a few seconds.
Curry held his breath, and when Kobe jumped up to block the ball, he accurately hit the three-pointer.
At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded.
Kobe's thugs fouled and were subject to additional penalties.
3+1.
Curry also made the free throw steadily.
As a result, the score that was finally leading turned into lagging behind again.
This time when Shen Huan caught the ball at the baseline, no one came close to defend him.
The nearest Tremond Green is near the midline.
The remaining four people stood firmly in their positions, waiting for the Lakers' attack.
Among all offensive modes, positional attack is recognized as the most difficult.
If the speed cannot be increased, positional fighting will easily consume the energy of both sides.
That's how the top five Pistons defeated their opponents and won the championship.
When Curry scored, the other four players rushed to their own backcourt, not even giving the Lakers a chance to make a fast break.
After all, in previous games, Shen Huan's lightning speed has become an important means of scoring for him.
But Shen Huan wasn't afraid either.
He advanced quickly and passed Tremond Green with a forced line change.
When Harrison Barnes rushed over quickly from behind, he took another step back, turned and cut again, and passed him again in one fell swoop.
However, Tremond Green once again stood in front of Shen Huan.
Shen Huan raised his hand and threw it directly to Kobe without even looking at it.
The Black Mamba gets the ball and rushes in without hesitation.
Curry still couldn't defend Kobe. He only blocked it slightly and was wiped out by Kobe.
But Kobe couldn't break through the defense of Klay Thompson and Andrew Bogut.
So he could only pass the ball.
When Iverson got the ball, he encountered Tremond Green sticking to him from behind, trying to grab the ball with his hands and claws.
Iverson definitely couldn't show weakness. He leaned back, leaning against Tremond Green, and threw the ball directly to the basket.
"Peng!"
Andrew Bogut, who rushed out from the ground, blocked the shot and knocked the basketball down.
Unexpectedly, the ball bounced right into the hands of Shen Huan, who had already rushed into the penalty area.
Curry, who ran to grab the ball, spread his arms and stopped Shen Huan's progress without hesitation.
It can be seen from here that the Golden State Warriors are not only sharp in offense, but also layered in defense. No one is outside the system.
Even the number one star Curry still tried his best.
It is difficult for a team like this not to achieve good results.
When Curry intercepted Shen Huan, Andrew Bogut was already in position, staring at Shen Huan with his eyes, determined not to let him rush in and score.
But what no one expected was that instead of rushing in, Shen Huan took two steps back.
Directly exited the three-point line.
He is...
Curry's eyes flashed and he rushed towards Shen Huan like flying, trying to stop Shen Huan's shot.
But it was too late.
Shen Huan used a standard shooting posture and threw the ball.
"Uh-huh!"
Hollow basket in!
Shen Huan scored his second three-pointer! !
The score instantly became 8:7!
The fans present clapped their hands again and cheered for Shen Huan.
It was said before that Shen Huan couldn't shoot three-pointers, but in this game he shot two three-pointers in a row, and he hit every target!
This made everyone immediately understand that it wasn't that Shen Huan couldn't shoot three-pointers at all, but that others didn't think it was necessary before.
Now that he has unlocked the three-point skill, he directly made two.
O'Neill was speechless at this time.
Barkley naturally shouted: "How's it going? Shaq, do you think Shen Huan's response is sharp enough? Is his three-pointer as good as Curry's?"
"It's only been two minutes, why are you panicking?" O'Neal naturally refused to give in.
"Then we'll wait and see!" Barkley smiled.
The next game was very lively with both sides going back and forth.
Shen Huan made three more three-pointers in a row, making 5 of 7 shots in the first quarter, with a shooting percentage of 71.4%, which is astonishing.
But the Golden State Warriors did not show weakness. Curry also made 4 of 8 shots and scored 12 points!
But in this round, Kobe and Iverson both played at full capacity, and their muscles and muscles were open. Kobe and Iverson were like ducks in water in cooperation with Shen Huan. The three formed another triangle offense and joined forces. Scored 43 points, taking all the Lakers' points.
The Golden State Warriors also used full firepower and scored 40 points, only 3 points behind the Lakers.
This also set the smallest point difference for the Lakers in this playoffs.
Before, they usually led by more than 10 points in the first quarter.
However, this kind of game is interesting to play.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers replaced Iverson and Roy Hibbert and replaced them with Lou Williams and Clarkson. In addition to Shen Huan, they actually kept Kobe.
This means that the Black Mamba is going to fight hard.
The Golden State Warriors showed no sign of weakness.
No, it should be said that they and the Lakers thought together.
The starting five actually only played Andrew Bogut, and replaced him with Iguodala, the hero of last year's championship.
To some extent, in addition to rebounding, their overall offensive ability is stronger.
Now in the first five minutes of the second quarter, the two sides became more and more entangled, and the point difference remained between 3-5 points.
Shen Huan also burst out his true strength at this time.
People once again saw Shen Huan's mad dog spirit in the first playoff game.
Whether on the offensive or defensive end, Shen Huan is everywhere.
Especially on the offensive end, Shen Huan went directly into the penalty area again and again, hitting the Golden State Warriors' defense.
No matter which defensive player he was, he was unable to stop Shen Huan's powerful impact. After only a few times, he was already out of breath and exhausted.
In the last three minutes of the second quarter, the Warriors' main players had to leave the court to rest. They brought up the two centers and focused on high-level defense.
However, at this time, Shen Huan stopped moving forward.
With Kobe and Iverson both taking a break, Shen Huan was the only main player left on the court.
He just took the ball from Lou Williams and made shot after shot from outside the three-point line.
In three minutes, the boy frantically shot eight three-pointers, and he actually made five.
Including the first quarter, he made 10 three-pointers in two quarters.
Shen Huan thus broke the record of nine three-pointers in the first half set by Deron Williams three years ago.
It is only three short of the record of 12 three-pointers in a single game held by Kobe and Marshall.
According to Shen Huan's status today, this record has basically been broken.
At this time, the total score of the game also became 78:62.
In just three minutes, Shen Huan brought the score to 16 points in one breath, which made a group of Warriors players clenched their fists.
But they no longer have the energy to fight on the field.
Both Curry and Thompson played for about 20 minutes without stopping. Even though they were only in their twenties and at the peak of their physical strength, they could not withstand such a high-intensity game.
To say that the competition is tiring is one aspect, but the key is that Shen Huan is too beastly.
Relying on his strong body, he kept breaking through, picking and rolling, and dunking from outsiders.
Every Warriors player has been tortured by him.
Fighting against each other consumes more energy. This is how these main forces are exhausted and have to take a temporary rest.
I originally thought that by adding a 15-minute break at halftime, they could recover.
But now the 16-point gap made their spirits suddenly tense.
This battle is not easy to fight!
