Chapter 105 I Heard You Are a Runner and Bomber?
Although Zhou Yang took advantage this time, the overall strength of the Spurs is still superior. In addition, Zhou Yang committed two fouls and was a little timid when assisting in defense.
Even though Zhou Yang was so careful, he was called a blocking foul by the referee when he helped defend Duncan.
Zhou Yangsan committed a crime!
When the referee whistled and pointed at Zhou Yang, the Spurs cheered at home.
The fans here know that Zhou Yang is the core player of the Warriors. If he can't play, the Warriors will lose half.
Zhou Yang's mind went blank, and he stared at the referee. This was the first time he was called for 3 fouls in halftime, and he was very unwilling!
The teammates saw that Zhou Yang was not moving, so they rushed over and pushed him to the sidelines while persuading him.
Old Nelson knew that Zhou Yang was not feeling well, so he also sat beside him, comforting him.
"It's okay, there is still a chance in the second half, let Stephen stand for a while, no problem!"
Zhou Yang didn't say a word, trembling with anger again.
Curry is back on the stage, and he will be alone, taking on the heavy responsibility of the Warriors' offense!
After seeing Zhou Yang off the field, the Spurs immediately started to speed up.
Parker and Ginobili were full of energy and played faster and faster.
Although the Warriors are also a running and bombing team, they have been playing very fast, but because they are under the strict defense of the Spurs, they consume a lot of energy, so they can't keep up with the Spurs' rhythm.
The point difference was widened again.
Although Curry tried his best, the Spurs obviously played more smoothly.
在第二节还剩1分14秒的时候，比分来到55:33，马刺领先了22分。
Warriors attack.
Because Zhou Yang was not on the court, Curry was double-teamed.
Curry has a high golf quotient, and his strength has increased a lot, so he didn't panic so much when facing double-teams.
He began to pass the ball to his teammates according to their running positions.
Unfortunately, Maggette received a pass from Curry and made an open mid-range shot, which missed.
Zhou Yang watched from the sidelines and sighed. Curry's passing awareness has improved a lot.
As a result, looking back, the Spurs relied on Parker's small throw and scored 2 points.
The Warriors attacked, Curry was really anxious, he made a gesture with Jackson, and then passed the ball to Jackson.
Just when the Spurs thought Jackson was going to shoot, Curry suddenly got rid of the defender and ran to the bottom corner.
Jackson immediately passed the ball, Curry caught the ball, and before George Hill pounced, he made a quick shot!
Swish!
Three point hit!
This ball temporarily eased the Warriors' offensive drought.
However, at the end of the first half, Manu Ginobili's one-stop fast break scored 2 points again.
The timer light is on!
At halftime, the score came to 59:35, and the Warriors trailed by 24 points!
If facing other teams, there is still a possibility of catching up with the 24-point gap, but this is the Spurs!
Therefore, whether it is the media, fans, or even the Warriors players, they all feel that this game is lost and it is impossible to make a comeback.
Barkley sighed, and said: "I see the shadow of the Suns in the Warriors, maybe they can't get over the hurdle of the Spurs!"
Smith also felt strange: "The Spurs are indeed the nemesis of the running and bombing team. The Warriors have defeated strong opponents before. The Lakers, Cavaliers, and Magic were all taken down, but today, they were beaten so badly by the Spurs!"
"Yeah, if it's evenly matched and loses in the end, there's nothing to say, but it's a bit embarrassing to be led by 24 points at halftime."
"A reporter said before: Zhou Yang can't win without Curry. Did you see it today? Without Zhou Yang, the Warriors are even worse. Curry's single-core team is not as good as Zhou Yang."
"Actually, this is normal. Last year, the Warriors were still competing for the No. [-] pick. The overall strength is too poor. As long as the Splash Brothers lack one, it will be difficult to win."
"I don't know why, but the Warriors are very popular, but their record is average."
"It's mainly the Splash Brothers' style of play, which attracts fans too much. Zhou Yang's violence, and the two's three-pointers, are too popular among young fans."
"It's not just the fans. I think the three-point ratio of other teams in the league has also increased a lot. This has something to do with the Splash Brothers."
"But the three-pointers of other teams are different from the Warriors."
"What's the difference?"
"The Warriors' three-pointers are not only long shots, but also actively create three-point opportunities. Most of them are three-pointers with the ball. This is incredible."
"What you said makes sense. The Splash Brothers' style of play would have been scolded by the coach in the past, haha!"
"Indeed, even this year, there are many celebrities and senior basketball commentators who belittle the Splash Brothers, saying that they will definitely not win the championship, and they will just play in the regular season."
"Well...it's really hard to say. For example, in today's game, the Spurs took the Warriors. If the Warriors want to win the championship, they probably have to wait for Duncan to retire."
"If you say that, even if the Warriors win the championship in a few years, the gold content is not enough!"
……
The discussion between Barkley and Smith is still very objective, basically representing public opinion on the Warriors, and there are various analysis.
In the Warriors locker room, the players were aggrieved and cursed loudly.
"What the hell! The Spurs are so fucking dirty, is this a game?"
"That's right, I really hate the Spurs. Look, our players are all injured, how can we play like this!"
"Stephen is the worst. Look at his arm, there are at least a dozen bloodstains on it."
……
Zhou Yang sat next to him and didn't say anything. He knew it was a good thing for his teammates to vent. It showed that his teammates were very competitive.
Curry didn't say anything, at least with a smile on his side.
When his teammates had vented enough, Zhou Yang clapped his hands and said, "Brothers, let's treat this game as a playoff, and we must make a comeback in the second half!"
Jackson gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Second brother Yang, it's really difficult for me to destroy the prestige of our own people. The Spurs are not playing, they are fighting!"
Zhou Yang suddenly asked back: "If there is a real fight, are you afraid?"
Jackson's veins popped immediately, and he shouted, "Afraid? I've never been afraid of anyone in my life!"
Other players also expressed that they are absolutely not afraid of fighting!
Curry thought that Zhou Yang was going to incite a fight, but he didn't quite agree, and looked at Zhou Yang with a frown.
Zhou Yang stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling everyone not to get excited.
"Brothers, I don't want everyone to fight, but to adapt to the style of play. We will do what the Spurs do!"
The other teammates looked at each other in blank dismay, and Andris said helplessly: "It's the home court, and there is a home whistle. If we make big moves, can we do it?"
Zhou Yang explained: "Whether it works or not, we have to give it a try. Can't we just sit here and wait to die?"
