169. Strange Expansion
Delfino obviously couldn't keep up with Sun Ce's speed, so he could only choose to give Sun Ce physical contact before he entered the three-point line, limiting Sun Ce's full speed.
When Sun Ce accelerated to get beyond the three-point line, Delfino immediately pressed up. Sun Ce waved to find Curry. Curry saw that Sun Ce was just waving, and did not make the pick-and-roll gesture in the Warriors' tactical gestures, so he quickly moved over.
Curry didn't block people, but ran from behind Sun Ce. Sun Ce seized the opportunity to grab the ball and flicked it to the right. Curry ran over to catch the ball, and Sun Ce threw the ball back left One step, blocked the chasing Jennings!
Delfino was still preparing to pick and roll around Curry to defend Sun Ce, and received the ball on the right side of the top arc for a three-point shot...
In!
Simple and rough cooperation, Curry's catch-and-shoot after the pick-and-roll was a beep!
5 to 2, the Warriors have a 3-point lead.
When the Bucks attacked, the young players on the Warriors side were surprised that Jennings didn't mess around because Curry made a three-pointer, and continued to play pick-and-rolls with Bogut.
Unexpectedly, the core scorer of the Bucks this season is actually Bogut!
Bogut turned around and made a throw after receiving the ball inside!
This feel... really exceeded expectations!
The Bucks' first two offenses were actually hit by Bogut.
When it came time for the Warriors to attack, Morrow was guarded to death. Reid did a good job of his defensive tasks, chasing and defending Morrow very tightly. Their head coach was the previous team that had swept the defending champion Heat on defense Scott Skiles of the team, although the opponent is only the Warriors, is still fully prepared and knows Morrow's characteristics. So far this season, Morrow has averaged 8.7 points per game in the first quarter, so he defends very tightly.
This time, neither Sun Ce nor Curry got a chance to make a call. Hunter on the inside received the ball and held it high and missed!
It was the Bucks' offense again, watching Jennings play a few rounds without any intention of making a shot, and playing around Bogut's advantage, Sun Ce restrained his impatience, and said to Reid who was defending himself: "Michael, I thought I could play against you, but it seems that you really can't do it, you can't touch the ball after so long..."
Just when Sun Ce was thinking about it, the cooperation of Jennings and Bogut attracted Randolph, Hunter, and Curry's three defenses and two defenses, and Ilyasova got a chance at the bottom line!
Bogut received a pass from Jennings after the pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to Ilyasova from the free throw line. Ilyasova retreated to the bottom corner, received the ball and made a three-pointer!
7 to 5, the Bucks lead by two points!
The opening trend was completely out of Sun Ce's expectations!
In the next few minutes, Jennings didn't take a single shot. Until the official suspension of the first quarter, Jennings didn't choose to take a shot!
12 to 10, the Bucks relied on their solid offensive and defensive performance to limit the Warriors' offense. When the official timeout came, the Bucks maintained a weak lead of two points.
Jennings had 0 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. He played very steadily without impatience.
He suffered from Sun Ce and Curry in the summer league. The two kept irritating him in that game and made him play very poorly in the first quarter. This time he stabilized his mentality.
The two teams began to make substitutions, Sun Ce was replaced, Curry returned to the point guard position, and the lineup of Raja Bell, Reggie Williams, Randolph, and Turiaf played.
Reggie Williams nodded to Sun Ce before going up, knowing what he was going to do.
Sun Ce sat on the bench and watched Jennings continue to play steadily after returning to the court. It felt very strange, very strange.
What about the promised burst of 55 points in a single game? We played more than half of the first quarter,
Not once?
Sun Ce currently has 1 rebound and 2 assists, and also scored 4 points. The opponent did not score a point.
This is really weird.
"Could it be because of my influence that brought about the butterfly effect, and Jennings didn't score this time? But it's not right, what do these two temporary incidents mean?" Sun Ce felt his head explode!
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. It would be better if Jennings didn't score too many points. The next two events will be completed directly, and you only need to focus on winning.
After Reggie Williams went up, the Warriors' singles became more reliable. Without Ellis, Reggie Williams was the strongest singles of the Warriors.
Curry's singles are also okay, ranking fourth in the Warriors behind Ellis, Reggie Williams, and Maggette, just because his goal of training since the summer is to become a player like Ray- Catch-and-shooters like Allen or Peja work hard, so offense without the ball is better than singles with the ball. Relatively speaking, the improvement of offense with the ball is not as obvious as offense without the ball.
The game was going in an unexpected direction. Jennings didn't take too many shots in the second half of the first quarter. In this half, he took 3 shots, but they were all shots by himself under unavoidable circumstances. He missed all 3 shots. .
After the first quarter, the Warriors trailed by 3 points 23 to 26.
Bogut was the highest scorer on the field. He scored 11 points in the first quarter, followed by Curry, who made 3 of 7 shots, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 10 points.
Jennings ended the first quarter with 0 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists.
...
Playing so hard in the first quarter and falling behind, Reggie Williams was unwilling to do this, but he had to do it after the start of the second quarter.
Reed was replaced in the second half of the first quarter, and Reggie Williams couldn't complete what Sun Ce planned, so he chose to try his own ability in the second half of the first quarter.
As a result... it's really not the opposite opponent!
The efficiency of singles has improved, and without Sun Ce, the team's offensive efficiency has plummeted, and the second half of the quarter has scored one point less than the first half.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bucks took the lead, and Reggie Williams came to Reed who was defending himself, and muttered according to Sun Ce's teaching: "No, Reed, I want to challenge you, but you actually played with nothing. Ball? You are the star of the national team!"
Challenge? here we go again……
Reid played 6 and a half minutes in the first quarter. Sun Ce, Curry, and Morrow all faced each other, and all three of them told him that they wanted to challenge him.
This time he reappeared, and Reggie Williams said the same thing.
Reid thought that the four players facing him who were going to challenge him were all in the first and second grades, and he felt an impulse in his heart.
In the past six seasons, he averaged more than 20 points per game, and the two peak seasons averaged more than 25 points per game. He was once compared with Kobe, Wade, McGrady, Carter, and Iverson. In the two seasons of 2005-2006 and 2006-2007, Kobe, Wade, Carter, and Reed were all scorers with an average of 25 points per game. McGrady was not bad, and Yao Ming, who once averaged 25 points per game at that time, could still have Averaging 20 performances per game...
This kind of performance is great enough, and it is Reid's proudest moment.
Now someone comes to challenge, Reid seems to have found a sense of identity!
