Chapter 346: Western Decisive Battle with Warriors! Durant disappears. (page 12)

The game started quickly, the referee blew the whistle, and Nance grabbed the first right of attack.

Su Tian got the ball and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Facing Curry's defense, Su Tian did not start playing alone directly, but first tried to coordinate tactics with his teammates.

So Su Tian first called Nance to step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and used the pick-and-roll to break through inside.

After attracting Green's defense, he passed a ground-breaking pass to George outside the three-point line.

George caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

The three-pointer was hit steadily.

3-0

After George made the shot, he held up three fingers in celebration while jogging back to defend.

"Beautiful, Paul!"

"You pass beautifully too, Su!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, each returning to their defensive positions.

The ball possession changed and it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball directly to Green.

Green stood at the top of the arc with the ball, watching his teammates' movements while waiting for opportunities to pass the ball.

After a series of tactical moves, Green passed the ball to Clay who was running.

Clay caught the ball and was about to take a three-pointer, but Butler arrived in time, so Clay accelerated his shot and took a three-pointer against Butler.

Bang——shua——

The basketball hits the rim and bounces into the net.

3-3

"It seems that even if the Warriors don't have Durant, they still can't be underestimated." Barkley said.

"Of course, the Warriors still defeated the Nuggets and advanced to the Western Conference Finals despite Durant's absence. There is no doubt about the team's competitiveness," Kenny Smith said.

Su Tian knew how terrifying the Warriors were, so he was not surprised by the Warriors' performance.

"Focus! Guys! Don't take it lightly!"

In the next few rounds, Su Tian kept holding the ball to organize the team's offense, giving the main offensive role to George and Butler.

Until the end of the first quarter, the score difference between the two teams did not change much. 30-27, the Lakers temporarily led by 3 points.

In the second quarter, George and Butler took a break, and Su Tian came on to start the main attack.

From the second quarter, Su Tian began to exert his strength gradually, and the point difference between the two teams began to gradually widen.

Halfway through the second quarter, Su Tian came off the court to rest, and Butler and George came on again.

At this time the score difference has reached 8 points.

At the end of the second quarter, the score difference had not changed much, with a 9-point difference.

In the Lakers locker room during halftime.

Walton looked at everyone's status and said: "The impact of Durant's absence on the Warriors is not small. The first half of the test was almost done. From the second half, we will go out with all our strength and try to take it away directly!"

In the first half, in order to maintain stability, Walton mainly arranged the team's tactics to avoid rash attacks.

Now that the test is almost done, Wharton is ready to fight hand-to-hand with the Warriors with real swords and guns.

Soon, the halftime break ended and players from both sides took the field.

In the third quarter, the Lakers sent out the starting lineup. The Warriors were supposed to have a five-small lineup, but Durant was absent, so they had no choice but to use the starting lineup.

The first possession of the third quarter was given to the Warriors. Curry quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the ball to Iguodala, who stepped forward to respond.

Curry led Su Tian to start running without the ball, trying to get rid of Su Tian while disrupting the Lakers' defensive formation.

Iguodala, who got the ball at this time, burst out and tried to break through Ingram. Ingram's body was not as good as Iguodala's, but his speed was not bad, and he followed Iguodala all the way to the basket.

After arriving at the basket, Iguodala overcame Ingram's defense and took three steps to collect the ball.

Nance on the side saw this and wanted to step forward to help defend against the double team. As soon as Iguodala noticed Nance's movement, he passed the ball directly to the bottom corner.

When Iguodala passed the ball, there was no one in that position, but just after Iguodala took the shot, Rooney turned around and set a screen for Clay.

Clay took the opportunity to run out and directly received Iguodala's pass.

Clay and the basketball reached the bottom corner at the same time, and the cooperation between the two was just right.

At this time, Su Tian had no time to think about it and ran to help defend, but Clay's shot was faster.

Swah——

Klay hit a three-pointer.

"The cooperation of this Warriors team is really smooth. I will accept this goal." Su Tian said secretly in his heart.

"But the Warriors won't get a second chance. I won't fall in the same place twice."

The ball possession changed and it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

Su Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball, first called Nance to step forward to pick and roll, and then Su Tian used the pick and roll to directly shoot a three-pointer.

Curry is right next to Su Tian, ​​but unfortunately there is a big gap in height and wingspan with Su Tian, ​​and there is no effective defense at all.

Swah——

Su Tian's three-pointer was also a solid hit.

The Warriors attacked again. This time Green received the ball and passed it to Curry again. Curry caught the ball and rushed to the basket, but was interfered by Su Tian when he took the shot.

Su Tian turned around to collect the rebound and directly started fast break mode.

The Warriors were also very fast. When Su Tian came to the frontcourt, Curry and Green also returned to their defensive positions, but Su Tian still resisted Curry's defense and shot directly for a layup.

Bang——shua——

After Su Tian made a layup, he raised his right hand to show off his biceps and patted it with the other hand.

"Stephen, you can't stop me."

Curry did not speak, but continued to follow the team to attack.

Curry himself also knows that this is a critical moment for the team. Three consecutive championships are right in front of him. Curry does not want to lose it just like this.

However, Curry did not publicly support Durant because of his own personality problems, so the relationship between Durant and Curry is not as good as before.

"I will lead the team to win! I can do it!" Curry encouraged himself in his heart.

In the next few rounds, Su Tian took charge of the team's main attacker's position, constantly using his personal ability to score.

As for the Warriors, Curry has been trying to drive his teammates through his own efforts.

If Curry was facing someone else, it might actually be useful, but unfortunately, Curry is facing Su Tian now.

Under Su Tian's defense, even Curry, the unanimous MVP, had limited performance on the court.

At the end of the third quarter, the score difference had reached 15 points.

"Kenny, have we all underestimated Su's defense?" Barkley sighed as he looked at the statistics in his hand.

Kenny Smith heard Barkley's sigh and picked up the data sheet.

Statistics show that Curry's personal performance in the third quarter was only about 25% from three-pointers, and his overall field goal percentage was only %. At the same time, he was intercepted twice by Su Tian.

"This, this is indeed quite obvious. This performance is far lower than Curry's normal performance, not to mention this is still the third quarter." Smith said.

"Usually when dealing with other teams, let alone restricting Curry, it's already good if Curry can't explode in the third quarter."
