Chapter 865 New version of "Hampton Five Elementary School"

"It's really interesting to cut the game into individual singles!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"If you want to beat the Golden State Warriors, you can't let them play their best passes and 3 points. If you want to beat the Toronto Raptors, you need to limit the response. Of course, it is not easy." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Last season's Oklahoma City almost pulled down the 73-win Golden State Warriors!" Mike Breen said.

"Well, they just used unlimited defenses, but they were still a little bit short, because the bench was too short, and they had physical problems in the back!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"The Toronto Raptors have no physical problems?" Mike Breen asked.

"Should be fine. It's been years, and I haven't seen Ying's physical limit in any game. Also, their bench depth is much better than Oklahoma's last season. Don't forget, the bench Xi Ke is sitting with Kyle Lowry and Yonas Valanciunas!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

While the two were talking, the Raptors gained a 5-point lead by playing Zaza Pachulia.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr requested a timeout!

The fans at the scene cheered, and everyone was excited about the excellent performance of the home team.

"It seems that after the timeout, the 'Hampton Five' should debut!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"Well, Zaza not only dragged down the team's offense on the field, but the defensive foot movement problem was targeted by the opponent. It is indeed time to end the game. Put Andre on the field to match up and relieve Kevin's defensive pressure." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Interesting, I don't know if the new version of the 'Hampton Five' with Kevin Durant replacing Harrison Barnes has a chance to deflate Toronto!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

Iguodala dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to Green at the top of the arc.

Curry and Klay ran without the ball on the wings and used screens to seek open opportunities.However, the Raptors posted very fiercely and did not give an easy catch and call.

"Toronto's lineup is indeed very suitable for defending against the Golden State Warriors! Devin replaced Serge with Jonas in the starting lineup, and it really worked." Mike Breen said.

"Well, Toronto's intention is obvious. It is to force you to single out. You will never be given 3 points. If you break through, you will help defend on the inside and rotate on the outside. Let go of Andre and Draymond appropriately. Don't give Klay, Steph and Kevin open up," Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Curry didn't find an open opportunity and forcibly borrowed Green's cover to break through Ibaka, but was interfered by Ying Xiong who was helping to defend when he went to the basket for a layup-missed!
Durant grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up!

The point difference was narrowed to 3 points!
"Kevin's height is more than enough for a small lineup center!" Mike Brin said with a smile.

"The biggest advantage of replacing Harrison with Kevin is of course the offense, but the improvement on the defensive end is also obvious. Kevin has a height of 6 feet 11, coupled with that terrifying long arm, he must be better than Harry on the inside and on the rebound. Sen is more dominant!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"That's right, Jeff, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot that Kevin is now the highest on the field!" Mike Breen said in surprise.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong.

Facing Iguodala's defense, Ying Xiong signaled his teammates to pull away.

The rest of the Raptors pulled apart, allowing Yingxiong to go one-on-one with Iguodala on the weak side.

"Why isn't it called a cover?" Mike Breen asked suspiciously.

"The opponent must switch defenses. In fact, it doesn't matter if it's called a screen or not. Whether it's Draymond, Kevin or Clay, they can't lose to Andre in single defense. Calling a pick-and-roll is a waste of offensive time." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Many fans at the scene have already started cheering, and they are naturally looking forward to seeing the core of the team play singles, especially on a stage as big as the finals.

Although Iguodala is only 198cm tall, he is physically fit and has a long wingspan. He is a well-known defensive player in the league.He keeps his center of gravity low, but if you look closely, you will find that he has not completely given up defending Yingxiong's attack, he just artificially created an illusion.

Ying Xiong came over slowly, dribbling the ball on the spot, nothing could be seen in his eyes or face.Not only Iguodala, almost no defensive champion in the league can find the slightest message in his demeanor and eyes.

There were 14 seconds left in the attack time, just when everyone thought that Ying Xiong would push the time down to about 10 seconds before attacking, he started!

Ying Xiong made two Crossovers in a row, changed direction and went to the left!Iguodala did not completely lose his position. He was originally the main defense against breakthroughs, so he was well prepared.

Ke Yingxiong is not only about speed, he speeds up to the bottom line when he finds that he is not getting rid of the opponent.

But Iguodala was very alert and blocked the breakthrough line of the bottom line in advance. If Ying Xiong wanted to forcibly walk the bottom line at this time, it would easily cause an offensive foul.

Of course, Ying Xiong would not force himself to go to the bottom line. After an emergency stop, he pulled the ball with his left hand and turned around, leaning on the opponent to go up the line.The other party was relentless, and the physical confrontation between the two was fierce.

When Ying Xiong held the ball near the free throw line, he stopped suddenly to collect the ball, and then took off and pulled it out!At this time, he did not completely shake off Iguodala!

Iguodala predicted Yingxiong's attack, of course he didn't take off to block the shot, because he knew how high and fast the opponent's shot was.He saw the angle and used the defensive trick of cutting the ball!

"Pa——" the sound said everything. Iguodala didn't hit the ball, but hit Yingxiong's arm.

But at almost the same time, Ying Xiong, who was in the air, used his excellent ability to stay in the air, hugged the ball from his waist with one hand in his right hand, and then made a mid-range shot with one hand-a steady hit!
Before Yingxiong missed the ball, the referee's whistle sounded—obviously, this was a foul.

"Jeff, my God, what the hell is going on?" Mike Breen said in disbelief.

Jeff Van Gundy was also surprised. He didn't expect Yingxiong to use such an unexpected offensive method, which was beyond the capabilities of regular players.

——Of course, Ying Xiong is not a regular player!

Iguodala glanced at Ying Xiong in disbelief, and seeing Ying Xiong looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help asking: "You guessed that I would cut the ball?"

Ying Xiong didn't answer directly. When he passed by him, he said softly: "We are old opponents!" After speaking, he walked to the free throw line, leaving Iguodala alone in place.

Of course, Iguodala didn't think that Ying Xiong was a stroke of genius. It must be because the opponent knew he was going to cut the ball and lured him to foul.He was very depressed and heavy, because apart from Ying Xiong, few people could hit such a jump shot!

This man is too difficult to deal with!
