Chapter 419 Rare Species
Today is like a super-large flash stage, bringing together superstars from various fields.
Big Bird came too.
He is leaving with the team today.
Sitting in the middle of a large crowd of Warriors fans right now.
How good of a ticket will the Warriors give him?
Think more.
But it doesn't matter, because in a sea of white, the strange creature of the big bird is also an interesting picture.
Barkley returned to the commentary booth after the interview.
Then it was unanimously mocked by Kenny Smith and O'Neill.
Barkley felt that it was nothing, but was a little complacent.
And took out the things Xu Xuan gave him just now.
A pair of signature sneakers, plus a signed jersey, and a signed basketball.
They are all signed by their own hands.
"Laughing at me? You don't!" Barkley proudly showed off what he had just gained.
Now it's the turn of Kenny Smith and O'Neill to get stuck.
"By the way, I saw Ewing just now." Barkley said suddenly.
"And then?" Kenny Smith put away his envy and asked curiously.
"Well, if someone hadn't pulled me, I would have beaten him to death." Barkley said seriously, and made a fist gesture.
"Ha ha ha ha."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became better, and both inside and outside the commentary booth were full of joy.
"But, really, Charles, I'm pretty sick of whoever wins these two teams," Kenny Smith said.
Indeed, whether it is the Pacers or the Warriors, there are too many reasons to win the championship.
On the court, with the end of the opening ceremony, the big screen gave the starting list of the two teams tonight.
Indiana Pacers: Xu Xuan, CJ Miles, Paul George, PJ Tucker, McGee.
Golden State Warriors: Curry, Clay, Barnes, Green, Bogut.
In the first game, both sides are regular starters.
"Sports Channel TV"
"ESPN Television"
"TNT TV station"
"French TV One"
"German TV"
"Belgium"
"Spain"
"."
With the commentary in different languages, on the court, Xu Xuan and his teammates walked towards the middle circle together.
McGee patted his cheek with his hand, trying to wake himself up.
"The finals, G1, officially begins!"
McGee successfully jumped to the first attack for the Pacers. Xu Xuan quickly divided the offensive sector after dribbling the ball. Xu Xuan almost made a dribble error. Pepper in hand.
In the first attack, Xu Xuan did not fight by himself.
Pickle holds the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and asks for an inside pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, he breaks through and makes an emergency stop!
It was Green who defended Pickle.
The Warriors' defensive matchup is very targeted today, with Clay defending Xu Xuan and Green defending Paojiao.
bang-
Under Green's interference, the ball was empty.
But rebounding --
"Xu Xuan grabbed the rebound, made a tip-up, and scored the first point in the finals!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.
After 15 years, the Pacers once again scored in the finals!
And here, Curry also completed the Warriors' first attack.
Swish-!
The exaggerated arc and soft touch seem to remind the people of Indian City that 73 wins in the regular season cannot be achieved casually!
2 is better than 2!
"Two three-pointers at the beginning, and the first attack was actually 2 points, which surprised me a bit." O'Neill complained.
Buckley gave him a blank look.
This is the normal way of shooting. Those who keep throwing three-pointers and three-pointers as soon as they meet will only appear in novels. In games like this, it is not about what is a good shot, but what is sure, just use whatever!
In the first quarter, Xu Xuan scored 7 points in a row.
7 points, three layups and one free throw.
8 to 3, the Pacers lead by 5 points.
Cole called a timeout.
The timeout was not because Xu Xuan played too smoothly, but because the Warriors didn't find any rhythm.
In these more than 3 minutes, the Warriors only scored one sports game, and only one free throw was made.
"The Warriors started to get sick again. Just like the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors still had such a bad start." Kenny Smith said.
When they played against the Thunder before, the Warriors started every game behind, and then came back to life and death, which made everyone watching the game frightened.
But this time, facing the Pacers, will it be so easy to come back?
After the timeout, the game continued. As soon as Curry came up, he used a very personal three-pointer to tie the score to 8-6.
Well, what to say, what to say, before the words left the mouth, Curry's three-pointer came.
The point difference ranged from 5 points to 2 points, and it was just a three-pointer.
The key word for the Pacers in this series: consumption.
It is useless to consume other people, it is necessary to consume Curry and Clay.
How did the Pacers win the Eastern Conference Finals?
Didn't he win in the end by exhausting the old man?
Playing Curry now, the same.
Curry's physical fitness is not as good as the old man.
Not to mention that he was injured before, when he played against the Blazers, he played with injuries.
For this ball, Xu Xuan decisively switched to Curry.
Seeing this good friend who was still affectionate at dinner yesterday, now with a murderous look on his face, Curry couldn't help complaining in his heart.
This is too unfeeling.
But the complaints belong to the complaints, and Curry doesn't want Xu Xuan to release the water. On the contrary, if Xu Xuan really releases the water, then this friend will have nothing to do.
crossover——!
Xu Xuan's iconic move.
Curry hesitated, but followed.
Xu Xuan had already started to step on his feet and was about to make a layup. Curry shook his head and rushed forward without hesitation.
Boom-!
Oracle Arena, two people fell to the ground almost at the same time.
The fans watching this scene worried.
Is the first confrontation between Big Curry and Little Curry so bloody?
However, both Curry and Xu Xuan had no expression on their faces. They patted their buttocks and stood up. Xu Xuan walked to the free throw line with blazing eyes, as if he was not affected at all.
He made two free throws and added two points for the Pacers.
10 to 6, so far Xu Xuan has not shot a three-pointer.
The first quarter of this finals had a high technical and tactical content, far exceeding the previous playoffs.
Coach Tyronn Lue, who was also watching the game at home, seemed to understand something. The authorities were fascinated by the bystanders. Coach Lu knew that if the Cavaliers want to wash away their shame next season, they must make a fuss about outside shooting.
Seeing that the two teams hardly took three-pointers, but if you look carefully, limited by the strong outside shooting ability of both sides, both teams must expand their defenses, which invisibly gives outside players a chance to attack.
This is pinning.
Containment from three points!
After the first quarter, the two sides battled 26 to 22, and the Pacers led by 4 points and entered the second quarter.
The scores are not high, 26 points are just a regular level, and 22 points are a bit less.
Cole frowned, a little worried about the substitute players who were about to play in the second quarter.
That hanger Xu Xuan didn't rest anymore.
Always, time and time again.
Cole now has a little understanding of Coach Lu's state of mind at that time. This damn main force has been bullying your substitute on the top all the time. What do you think you can do?
Coach Lu was very young at the time, and he had just reached the end with LeBron and Xu Xuan, but in the end you saw it too, the death was ugly.
Cole doesn't want to be like Coach Lu, and he can't be like Coach Lu.
Curry is not LeBron. Let Curry play 45 minutes every game, isn't it killing him?
The first quarter was full, and Curry was panting when he left the court.
In other words, this is the most serious guard in the league.
People like Xu Xuan and Westbrook are so rare.
rare species.
The role of guard was not very good when he was in the league before. Even if he was good, he was famous for his assists and passes.
It is because of the limitation of this position.
What is there to say?
Basketball is essentially a game for big men.
You're a guard with small arms and legs, surrounded by a group of big men who are as fierce as wolves, which is difficult in itself.
People score points when they turn around. You have worked hard and put in twice as much energy as others, so you may be hated in the end.
This is not an exaggeration, it is the truth.
In the era of hand-to-hand combat, what do you want as a small guard?
So now many people say that people like Curry, Irving, and Walker may not be able to get along in the 90s, but Xu Xuan and Westbrook may be like fish in water.
These words are not without reason.
In the era when three-pointers were not the mainstream, defenders had to make great efforts to come back if they wanted to score!
Cough cough, some strayed.
But the truth is this, Cole dare not use Curry like LeBron and Xu Xuan.
Curry can't do it, even if he can, don't even think about seeing him in the next game.
Therefore, for the Warriors, the second quarter is too important.
Withstand the pressure brought by Xu Xuan, then the Warriors will play well in the second half. If they can't stand it, then it can only depend on God's will.
"Andre, don't be burdened. He is exhausted all the time, and Stephen and Clay are resting on our side. If you last for a second, they will rest for an extra second, and our chances of winning will increase by one second." Points." It's rare that Cole said a lot today, all of which were directed at Iguodala.
"Sean, you too, hold back the opponent. Of course, it would be even better if you can blow up the opponent." Cole waved his hand and said encouragingly.
Livingston: "."
Is this human talk?
Beat Xu Xuan?
Are you kidding me?
What both Curry and Clay can't do, I just use my head to blow up the opponent.
However, if it was changed before I was injured, maybe it would be returned.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors scored a layup by the last FMVP Iguodala, 26 to 24.
This difference is not too big.
Moreover, Brother Yi is really stable.
Cole just pressed the first brother on the bench for a whole quarter, and he didn't even play the small ball tactics they were proud of.
The first brother came up and made a direct contribution. After a layup, he received another steal. In the empty rear, he jumped and dunked directly!
26 is better than 26!
Evened!
The first brother came up and scored 4 points in a row!
"How many times have I said that Andre should go into business, and he might become the boss in a few years, why should he rob money from a group of young players?" Barkley complained: "If you don't do good business, come on. Playing ball really blinded his talent."
Kenny Smith gave him a blank look.
Isn't it just that this side scored 4 points in a row, so how could there be such a big resentment.
That's enough.
There is nothing on Xu Xuan's side.
Brother Yi's strength is within his expectations. Generally speaking, the Warriors win 70% of games by starting and 30% by coming off the bench.
Even, sometimes, substitutes can account for 40%, or even 50%!
On the side of the Pacers, Xu Xuan, who had been prepared for a long time, was not succeeded by the first brother this time, so he changed his direction and turned his back directly.
Back to back single brother!
"This extraordinary self-confidence! Brother Yi is not so easy to hit back."
Xu Xuan didn't hesitate anymore, he turned his back and shot, it was enough that the first brother couldn't cover him.
Swish-!
A picturesque landscape!
28:26.
"Hey, at critical moments, Xu Xuan never disappoints!" Barkley said.
Here the Warriors were not relentless, and Livingston returned a mid-range single.
Livingston, the famous mid-range shot singles king in the NBA.
28:28.
"Don't tell me, the Warriors' substitutes played really well. After coming up, Iguodala and Livingston didn't have a ball. This performance is much better than that of the starters."
"for example?"
"For example, Green, in the first quarter, the Pacers placed all of Green's three-pointers open. I counted and made four shots, but none of them made it," Barkley spread his hands.
Green: "."
have been offended.
But this is also true, not just Green, Curry and Clay didn't feel very good in the first quarter, otherwise they wouldn't be 4 points behind.
With 8 minutes left in the second quarter, the first brother couldn't stand it anymore.
Xu Xuan's side didn't get weaker and weaker as he imagined, but became stronger and stronger.
The skin is going to be bald, but Xu Xuan is still as strong as ever!
Is it that hard?
Brother Yi and Livingston looked at each other, feeling a little tricky.
Cole gave them a look, which means, do you want to change?
Brother Yi shook his head.
Substitution?
who?
Curry?
Clay?
They played through the first quarter and are still breathing.
The Warriors still made a substitution, and Cole replaced Green to defend Xu Xuan.
In this way, the first brother can spare more energy to attack.
In the first half, the two teams played very anxiously.
Green's coming up really helped, and this guy also made Xu Xuan refresh his understanding of the word "dirty".
There is no Green who can pinch, drag, trip, iron elbow, crotch kick, and trash talk.
In the end, Xu Xuan was a little surprised. This guy would go too far if he didn't want to be an acrobat.
Almighty King!
Xu Xuan was so annoyed by him that he treated him in his own way.
There is no way, to deal with Dirty than he can only be dirtier than him.
In the second half of the game, Curry and Clay gradually found their touch on the Warriors side.
In the third quarter, Clay hit two consecutive three-pointers, and Curry also hit one three-pointer, but after Xu Xuan played for half the game in a row, he was in a brave state in the third quarter, not only hitting three three-pointers in a row Even with the opponent, he also caused a series of defensive fouls on the outside line, hit 9 free throws in a single quarter, and opened the score in one fell swoop.
