Section 64 Stephen Curry vs Tatum(2/2)

…………

…………

Once again, it was the Warriors' turn to attack. After turning the ball for 18 seconds, they could not find a suitable opening.

31:28

Stephen Curry showed off his ability as an MVP. Facing Tatum's switch, he opened the gap with a very simple behind-the-back dribble + step back, and successfully brought his second quarter score to 8

"Leave this ball to me"

Facing Stephen Curry's aggressiveness, Tatum once again took over the ball. After all, the team's offense has only opened three players so far.

If you still count on Brogdon to help you share the scoring pressure, then failure is not far away.

Take a step outside the three-point line and face Iguodala's intense pressure with the ball.

While watching the shot clock, Tatum carefully protected the ball and raised his hand to summon Sabonis to cover him.

Although David West is really not suitable for the switching defense system, the Golden State Warriors still chose to switch defenses.

Tatum successfully moved David West in front of him, raised his shoulders slightly, and took advantage of his explosive power to rush towards the right side.

Perhaps it was the previous "tip" from his shoulder that prevented David West from judging the opponent's intentions. When he decided to pull his center of gravity to the right to block the opponent's breakthrough route,

Tatum makes next move

When he saw that the route was blocked, Tatum directly connected with a crotch dribble and quickly pulled the ball back to the left side of his body. Facing David West, whose center of gravity was still on the right side and walking to the left,

Tatum would not let go of such a big gap, and immediately connected with a mid-range pull-up jumper, adding two more points to his scoring account.

31:30

"At the 7th point of the second quarter, Tatum also reached his fourth 10-point score so far." Like Durant and Stephen Curry who scored in double figures, the 76ers also reached double-digit scores.

"It was a mistake. Green didn't expect that there would be no response player at 45 degrees."

Facing Iguodala's defense, crotch dribbling + cross-stepping became Tatum's answer. Facing Iguodala, who had no flaws, Tatum quickly put the ball in his hands at the three-point line.

snatched out

Even if Iguodala quickly regained his focus, he was unable to interfere with the three-pointer. Now he could only believe that the opponent had no touch, but he quickly rejected such an idea because the opponent's opponent

Tatum has scored 7 consecutive points. If he continues to be so fanciful, that would be his stupidity.

Obviously, Iguodala is not stupid, so this three-pointer naturally fell into the net.

"Tatum scored in double figures in a single quarter and usually kept quiet to open up space. In this quarter, Tatum fully demonstrated his star quality."

hit out of bounds

VanVleet hit Green's pass to Curry out of the sideline

Kevin Durant replaces David West

The slow pace of the second unit could not match Curry's sudden burst, causing Kerr to pause to end the rotation and replace him with Durant, who had already rested for a few minutes.

Unlike Steve Kerr who arranged the lineup into Kevin Durant's version of the death five,

Monty Williams did not replace Embiid and Young, who had already scored in double figures or were close to scoring in double figures.

Instead, he chose to believe in these players on the field.

Iguodala stood on the sideline, waiting to serve.

As the referee handed the ball to Iguodala, the nine players on the court began to move.

At the same moment, Brogdon, who was located 45 degrees to the right, saw Thompson start quickly and followed him while maintaining the same pace.

But just after chasing a few steps and reaching the elbow area, Brogdon was hung up on the first screen wall;

"Substitution" Seeing this critical moment, Brogdon did not hide it and quickly reminded his teammates to make a substitution.

The moment the change was completed, the second covering wall followed.

"Oops, this is the cover provided by Curry." Under the huge impact, Brogdon decisively shouted to the back what the problem was.

Even if he "cheated" and called for a fill-in, it was still slow. The moment Sabonis pounced, Curry had already thrown a three-pointer that was wide open for him.

"Bang, Bang..."
