747: G6 Bliss Soup, Wayne's Eyes (9.5K(2/5)
On the other side, Wayne accepted an interview with Director Zhang.
Wayne also emphasized again that he hoped to end the game today no matter what and not give the Warriors a chance to breathe.
No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will work hard to overcome them.
Then, Director Zhang and Yu Jia went to interview Curry again.
Director Zhang first told the fans in Chinese the questions he was about to ask, but he hadn't started translating yet. During the process of speaking in Chinese, Curry listened and nodded seriously.
It's like he understands.
Director Zhang was shocked. Did the primary school students’ Chinese proficiency improve so much when they were around Wayne?
After finishing speaking, Director Zhang couldn't help but ask in English: "Can you understand what we just said?"
Curry broke through his defense instantly and couldn't pretend anymore, so he laughed sheepishly.
It can be seen that Curry is still very relaxed today.
This is what Wayne wants. Sometimes it's not good to be under too much pressure.
The game is about to begin, and the starting lineups of the two teams are once again facing each other. The Trail Blazers still use Tucker as the starting four and Wayne as the fifth and main defense.
Green looked at the Blazers lineup that made him miserable, and said in his heart: "Mom, I don't want to play with the five of them anymore!"
As soon as the game started today, Curry couldn't wait to show off his big American butt.
In the first attack of the first round, Wayne provided a screen for Curry, and Curry took the opportunity to break through.
Green immediately switched defense and chased after him.
Facing Green's pursuit, Curry did not continue to accelerate. Instead, he suddenly stopped in the mid-range position and raised his butt to nudge Green.
Green didn't dare to hit him too hard. If he knocked Curry down, he would definitely be called for a foul.
So he was pushed away by Curry, and then Curry easily succeeded in a mid-range jumper, giving the Blazers the lead.
Wayne looked at it and called him "good guy, it's different with a small butt pad, it will cause a rear-end collision!"
If this ball were placed on the Sheep Whistle Man, wouldn't it be another two free throws?
Curry finally experienced the pleasure of playing with his body today!
Although the Trail Blazers played perfectly at the beginning, the Warriors were not to be outdone.
Soon, they began to fight back.
First, Paul succeeded in a throw with Wayne's help, and then Iguodala hit a three-pointer from the corner.
The Warriors are also in very good condition today. After all, it is a life and death battle, and all the Warriors are competing with the mentality of fighting to the death.
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers only led the Warriors by 3 points.
The outstanding performance of Paul and Brother No. 1 prevented the Trail Blazers from widening the point difference.
In the second quarter, the Warriors' defense became increasingly rough. Whenever Wayne made a layup, at least one person would definitely pick on him.
Iguodala couldn't wait to double-team Wayne with Green without the ball, making it impossible for Wayne to catch the ball.
In the last three minutes before halftime, the Trail Blazers were originally in the lead.
But at the last moment, Thompson seized the opportunity and made two three-pointers, leading the team to overtake the score.
After halftime, the Warriors entered the second half with a 2-point advantage.
Although lagging behind, the Trail Blazers are not worried.
It's just 2 points behind, it doesn't matter.
In the first half, Carlisle deliberately controlled Wayne's playing time in order to prevent Wayne from being dragged down in the second half.
It was not an unacceptable result to only allow the Warriors to lead by 2 points despite intentionally protecting Wayne.
No one paid attention to Thompson who scored two three-pointers in the last minute of the second quarter.
No one could have imagined that these two three-pointers would be the beginning of a sudden change in the third quarter...
Thompson sat in the locker room and felt that he was in excellent condition.
In the first half, he scored 16 points on 6 of 15 shots, which was the same as Curry.
He knew the importance of this game, so he worked very hard.
Although the Trail Blazers are his old club, although Curry and Wayne are both his good friends.
But at this moment, he is wearing a Warriors jersey, and he must lead the team through difficulties.
After Cole finished talking about tactics, Thompson approached Paul and made a request that Paul had never heard of in the year he had been a teammate.
"Brother Pao, in the third quarter... I want to shoot a few more shots."
Paul looked at Thompson with some surprise.
It's not that this request is unreasonable, but because Thompson has never been the type to say such a thing.
Thompson, Curry, and Wayne have won more than one championship together, so he also knows very well how powerful those two guys are.
It is impossible to defeat the Trail Blazers if we continue to waste it like this.
Don't imagine a showdown with the Trail Blazers at critical moments. Whether it's Curry or Wayne, their offensive power at critical moments is outrageous.
If you want to win G6, the best way is to establish an advantage in advance!
Thompson is feeling hot now, and he has a hunch that he can perform in the third quarter.
Seeing that Tom was so determined, Paul nodded slightly: "I will pass the ball to you!"
The Soup and Egg combination will establish their advantage in the third quarter.
In this war, they have no way out!
The third quarter of the game started quickly, and fans from both sides were very nervous at this time.
Like the last game that was thrown into garbage time early, the fans of the losing team were actually more heartbroken than worried.
But today's situation is very worrying.
After Clay came on the stage, he jumped up and down twice with a serious expression.
The Warriors took the lead in attacking, and Paul, just as he had just discussed with Thompson, waited for Thompson to get into position so that he could help him with the ball.
When Wayne saw Thompson being so active, he naturally noticed something was wrong, so he kept observing him.
Sure enough, after bypassing a series of screens, Thompson reached outside the three-point line and received a pass from Paul.
Wayne rushed forward immediately, raising his arms to block Thompson.
After these few games, this is not the first time that Wayne has helped defend Thompson.
But this time, Thompson's eyes remained firm when facing the menacing Wayne.
He raised the basketball as if there was no one in front of him, and threw the ball steadily, with a very decisive shot.
Wayne jumped up quickly, but it was too late and the basketball slipped from Wayne's fingertips.
However, although the block was not directly completed, it was considered a serious interference.
Wayne immediately turned around and ran back, preparing to grab the board.
As a result, the basketball went directly into the net. Thompson still made a three-pointer under Wayne's tight blocking!
"Klay Thompson hit a three-pointer. His three-pointer helped the Warriors widen the point difference to 5 points! This shot was very decisive, and Wayne's defense was very timely.
But for a top shooter like Thompson, it doesn’t mean that you can definitely stop him if you don’t make mistakes on the defensive end.”
Wayne shook his head. Tom is indeed the number one 3D player in the league.
But it's normal for a shooter like this to take one or two shots. He can't keep scoring like this.
Soon, however, Thompson hit his second consecutive three-pointer.
This time, Paul used a beautiful breakthrough to attract Wayne's defense. After getting rid of Wayne, Paul broke through and found Thompson again.
After receiving the ball, Thompson feinted a shot and missed Jebo.
Then he took a lateral step and shot a three-pointer.
Amid the expectations of all Warriors fans at the scene, Thompson hit another three-pointer!
At this time, Wayne began to feel that something was wrong.
Counting the two goals at the end of the second quarter, Thompson has already scored four three-pointers in a row!
Four three-pointers in a row may not sound like much, but this is 12 points in a row.
"Keep an eye on him, keep an eye on him!" Wayne immediately told Butler not to give Thompson any space.
Wayne is aware of Thompson's explosive scoring power. If he goes crazy at this time, I'm afraid Jokic will be killed.
"Defend! Defend! Defend!"
Thompson's consecutive goals made the cheers of the fans at the scene become more powerful.
After a while, the Blazers were already 8 points behind.
