Curry was intercepted as soon as he came up. Such an opening undoubtedly poured cold water on the enthusiastic Warriors fans on the scene.

Since the playoffs this season, Curry has averaged 3.9 turnovers per game, ranking third in the league, second only to Harden's 4.5 and James's 4.1.

But considering that Curry is a point guard and passes a lot, it is reasonable that he has a high turnover number.

Most of Curry's mistakes are pass mistakes, and there are few cases where someone can break the ball from his hands.

But today, Tony Allen gave Curry a warning as soon as he came up. When the Grizzlies' mobility increased, their speed of defense was quite terrible. Any idea of ​​breaking through easily is a daydream.

Link's strong windmill dunk made the Oracle Arena quieter. But the fire in the Warriors players' minds would not be extinguished so easily. They quickly organized a second offense, eager to tie the score.

The Warriors' offensive operation is still very smooth, and their smooth passes and running positions are pleasing to the eye.

But Steve Cole on the sidelines will definitely not enjoy the team's offense at this time, because he could see that the team is just "looking" to operate smoothly now.

No matter how the Warriors run and conduct, they cannot tear the Grizzlies' defense.

Change defense, assist in defense, blocking individual soldiers... The Grizzlies have done perfectly in every link on the defensive end today. There is a defensive player standing in front of the Warriors players at all times.

Especially Link, Butler and Tony Allen, their presence makes the Grizzlies' defense imperfect.

"It seems that the Grizzlies' five-limit configuration is also quite perfect." Cole shook his head and said helplessly to his assistant coach Luke Walton.

Like the Warriors, they both have perfect small lineups. Cole can guarantee that this small lineup of the Grizzlies has been prepared for a long time!

Maybe the closed training they conducted a few days ago is for this...

The Warriors never had a chance to pass, and in the end, Klay Thompson could only fire from a long range against Butler's defense in the right corner.

All the Warriors fans in the stands raised their hands, but unfortunately, the basketball finally hit the side of the basket.

Draymond Green, who was behind Harrisca, raised his arm, pushed Harris away, and then grabbed the offensive rebound.

But his rough moves were a bit too far in the playoffs. The referee finally called Green a foul for rebounding. Not only did the ball rights still belong to the Grizzlies, Green applied for a foul early.

It can be said that the gain is not worth the loss.

"Perfect defense! The Grizzlies' defense in these two rounds is simply textbook level! If the coaches of other teams want to know how to curb the five small lineups, they should study and study the Grizzlies' game video." Mike Brynn said and applauded. The Grizzlies' five small lineup was perfectly integrated.

The players have a very tacit understanding of every change of defense and every assisted defense, and they will hardly make mistakes.

"Of course," Mike Brynn continued to add after applauding, "Not everyone can learn the defense of the Grizzlies. First of all, your team must have three players selected for the best defensive team at the same time..."

The best defensive team players who have no presence this year finally show their value.

After defending this goal, the Grizzlies' five-squad lineup fell into the positional battle for the first time today.

It is obvious that the Warriors' defense is somewhat shrinking. After all, the Grizzlies' five-squad lineup is not like the Warriors, and all five of the three-pointers are as accurate as those of the Warriors.

On the Grizzlies, Jimmy Butler and Tony Allen's shooting range are a shortcoming. Therefore, the two Warriors players who defend Butler and Tony Allen always intend to shrink inward and are ready to defend against those who break in at any time.

At this time, the Warriors players were Livingston and Harrison Barnes.

The Warriors are also ready, and their defense is not easy to mess with.

Link took advantage of Conley's pass and made a fake move to break left, then quickly pounced on Green's right.

Green was about to move the blockade, but encountered Tobias Harris' tough pick-and-roll.

After many starts this season, Harris has become accustomed to the role of the No. 4 position. It is not that difficult to transition from the No. 4 position to the No. 5 position.

His cover is very timely, and the most important thing is that he is tough enough to block people.

Seeing that Green was blocked, Klay Thompson immediately changed to chase Link.

Thompson is also considered a player with excellent defense, but he does not think that Thompson can be selected for the best defensive team.

The reason is very simple, Thompson's defense is a bit too academic.

His biggest advantage on the defensive end is that he is not easy to lose his position, is not easy to foul, and always stands in front of the defender. It looks similar to Conley.

The disadvantage is that he is aggressive and lacks athleticism, which is also the biggest difference between him and Conley on the defensive end.

Thompson's defense can effectively curb most ordinary players, but this kind of defense that only seeks not to make mistakes is often ineffective when facing superstars. It is precisely because of this that Thompson often becomes the background board of superstars.

A player at the truly best defensive lineup level is usually able to curb the opponent's number one scorer.

Facing Link, Thompson's weaknesses in this aspect are infinitely magnified!

Before Thompson could change over and block Link, Link had already broken through the defense at a much faster speed.

Thompson's ability is seriously insufficient in terms of defense switching and assisting defense!

Link easily broke through Green and Thompson's defense line and went straight to Huanglong!

Livingston and Barnes immediately shrank into the three-second zone, and they were the second line of defense for the Warriors to protect the basket.

But Link was not afraid of those two guys. The serious big frame protector may not be able to defend Link, let alone the two outside players who made up their positions.

The Warriors' move is useful for ordinary people, but the same thing is true, this kind of defense is ineffective against superstars!

After entering the penalty area, Link jumped high and spread his legs in the air, as if he was walking in the air.

Livingston and Barnes both jumped up, but in the air, Link flexibly used the pull-rod movement to avoid the arms of the two guys.

He slid gracefully into the penalty area and then gently picked it before sinking.

"brush".

When basketball is in the net, Link is like a gentle assassin. He seems to be lukewarm, but he can always kill him with one blow!

"Horrifying air stagnation ability! Have you seen him avoid blocking in the air? The Warriors' contraction tactics are not effective at all for Link! They don't have a real frame protector, that's that simple! Although the Grizzlies don't have a frame protector, neither Curry nor Thompson can break through the first line of defense as easily as Link."

4-0, Link completely shattered the beautiful fantasies of Warriors fans with two consecutive goals.

Want to win two games in Oracle Arena? This is not the final say of the Warriors players. I have to ask whether Link agrees!

In the subsequent games, both sides still played fiercely. The Warriors started scoring goals, but their efficiency was much lower than the previous game.

On the Grizzlies' offense was not stopped due to the opponent's contraction. Link scored consecutive goals, which made the fans in the stands crazy.

Every time, when the Warriors were about to tie the score, Link always stood up and widened the gap again.

There is no doubt that Link has become a big trouble for Warriors fans.

The first quarter ended in the ninth minute. Link broke through and passed the ball to Jimmy Butler. He was released and he used two points from a long distance to widen the gap to 7 points!

Steve Cole immediately suspended the game, and today's situation was much more difficult than he expected. He didn't want to enter the second quarter with a double-digit score difference. He knew very well that if he was suppressed by the Grizzlies, it would be very difficult to reverse.

Cole put all his hopes on the second team, because the Warriors only rotated seven people, so strictly speaking, there was no second team at all.

In the next few minutes, he was equivalent to playing with the starting lineup and the Grizzlies' second lineup!

Cole believes that substitute time is the best opportunity for the Warriors to reverse the situation.

Link walked down the court panting and looked at the big screen on the scene.

At this moment, Carter walked to Link.

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word. But this was enough to allow Link to sit on the bench with peace of mind and rest assured.
Chapter completed!
