Chapter 919 Resurrection of the King
The 76ers faced the risk of being blown up by the Warriors many times, but they gritted their teeth time and time again to sustain the situation.
They seem to have other cognitions about themselves deep in their hearts, for example, they can't be blown up, they can't lose too embarrassingly, they can't make their opponents feel that they can win easily, and they can't have garbage time.
They played for this. Even though the Warriors led by 1 points in the last minute of the fourth quarter, Wei Xia still had to choose a single from the outside, ignoring Iguodala's unilateral pressure on him, and forced a three-pointer.
His ball arc is very high, and it seems that he is going to the hollow.
Iguodala looked back at the ball in the air, knowing that some guys just couldn't stop them.
"Shh!"
Wei Xia scored his 47th point tonight. This is his second 40+ game in this round of the series.
Unlike the previous 40+ game, the 76ers are about to lose.
In the last 4 seconds of Game 50, the Warriors shot and hit the iron amidst the boos of the audience.
The 76ers had another chance to attack.
With half a minute left, 101 to 110.
From the eyes of the 76ers players, the Warriors can see that their opponents have not given up hope.
Another evidence that the 76ers are thinking about creating miracles is that Jay Wright requested a timeout and arranged Wechat to catch the ball and quickly shoot three-pointers to grab points.
With the Warriors' free throw stability and the current point difference, it doesn't make much sense to stick to the game.
The 76ers seem to want to give themselves an explanation.
They prepared seriously, not only for themselves, but also for the fans at the scene.
They will never be thrown into garbage time by their opponents at home.
Even if only for a second.
This kind of so-called arrogance and self-esteem has not always been there, but when they face such a strong enemy, they insist on showing a pair of perseverance that would rather die than surrender. This not only makes their opponents angry, but also makes the fans excited.
The 76ers' tactic of quickly serving the three-pointer failed because Wei Xia was strongly interfered.
He missed a three-pointer and Cousins made a tactical foul on the spot.
He hit hard, and the foul was no different from hitting someone.
Green, who was fouled, was furious: "You fucking lose!"
The subtext is, since you are sure to lose, why do you still fight like this?
Cousins said proudly: "You don't even have a ring, it's hard for me to explain to you!"
Obviously he can explain things clearly, but he wants to add fuel to the fire to make his opponent angry. Cousins has been infected by Wei Xia and has become a special individual.
He is emotionally unstable, but he is also good at making the opponent's emotions fluctuate.
He has changed from a time bomb planted in the heart of the 76ers to a double-edged sword that can hurt the enemy and himself.
Green frantically came to the frontcourt to make free throws, and only made one of the two free throws.
With 27 seconds left, the 76ers, who have no timeouts, need to dribble from the backcourt to the field.
Seeing that the 76ers still don't give up, the Warriors must of course stick to it.
Holiday dribbled forward like a march, reached the frontcourt as quickly as possible, and passed the ball to Wei Xia.
Wei Xia threw the ball as soon as he got it, even if Iguodala had enough time to take off.
He expected that the opponent would get up to block the shot, so he intentionally increased the arc of his shot. Following the miss in the last shot, Wei Xia shot for the third time in a row, and there were still 16 seconds before the end of the game—swish!
Wei Xia scored the first 50 points in this finals.
104 is better than 111
With a gap of 7 points, the Warriors were fouled again.
Based on the current time, even if the Warriors miss two free throws, the 76ers still need to make three goals including two three-pointers, and the Warriors can no longer score in order to reverse.
It can only be said that the hope is slim, and the opportunity is not without.
The person who was fouled this time was Curry. His free throw percentage was as high as [-]%. It is too unrealistic to expect him to miss all free throws.
Curry made both free throws, completely ending the suspense of the game.
But he didn't expect the 76ers to rush to attack.
They are really racing against time, and the Warriors are really defending. Even if the confrontation at this time will not have much impact on the result, they are still facing each other.
The ball was given to Wei Xia again.
He was three meters from the three-point line, about ten meters from the basket.
He must vote!
I saw him lower his center of gravity, and then use the single-action shooting method that Stephen Curry is very familiar with, and shoot a super long three-pointer with a distance of ten meters.
"Wish scored again! Scored my 53rd point in the finals!"
Wei Xia's performance is a reflection of the 76ers team.
The fierceness of their resistance and the fierceness of their resistance to the warriors have surpassed the normal victory and defeat.
This approach seems to tell everyone that even if they lose, they must fight to the end.
Persistence only goes so far.
Next, the 76ers made another foul.
The offense fell on Thompson. Although he made one of two free throws, time was running out.
The 76ers made another midcourt three-pointer, missed it, and the game ended.
115 is better than 107
The Warriors won the game by 8 points.
Objectively speaking, there was not much suspense in this game from the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Warriors were very steady. They didn't give a chance, they played steadily, and they made all the goals that should be scored. Even though the 76ers' counterattack momentum was strong, Weixia's last three-pointers were more difficult than one, and they still couldn't reverse the result.
The Warriors got what they wanted, winning 76-2 at home to the 2ers.
They not only tied the score, but also brought the battle of Tianwangshan back to the home court, and regained the home court advantage.
此役，韦夏打满全场，得到53分14篮板6助攻4抢断3封盖和6失误。
The ratio of assists to turnovers of 1 to 1 shows that the Warriors' double-teaming of him has had an effect.
If Wei Xia's role is an attacker, then double-teaming him is not necessarily effective.
He belongs to Kobe's kind of player whose willingness to attack increases the more difficult it is.
But since the start of the finals, the 76ers let Rondo substitute and Holiday started. This change has added a defensive swingman to the 76ers' starting lineup, and the defensive intensity has increased by several levels.
Although there are advantages, the disadvantages are also obvious.
Holiday has proved that he can't support the organizational tasks of a championship-level team. Before Rondo came to the 76ers, they fought and lost repeatedly. Although Cousins and Hayward were developing factors, after Rondo joined the team, the 76ers directly turned into a big devil.
In terms of organizational ability alone, Rondo is not inferior to any master point guard in history.
The offensive ability he lacked, as well as the freezing point of outside shooting, were made up by the 76ers' lineup, but when he met the Warriors, a team that couldn't give him obvious shortcomings, Wright made a choice.
Let Rondo, who has been the starter for two years, be replaced by Holiday. Although it has a miraculous effect, after four games, the Warriors have already come to an aftertaste.
In the four games where Rondo was not in the starting lineup, Wei Xia averaged nearly 9 assists per game, nearly 2 more than the regular season.
It's obvious who will carry the organizational responsibilities after Rondo leaves the starting lineup.
The Warriors already know that Wei Xia cannot maintain coordination between his personal offense and the organization of the team's offense. This is one of his shortcomings that is not considered a shortcoming.
After all, no one will think that Kobe is not good because he can't attack God and drive his teammates with the pass;
The same principle applies to Jordan;
Wei Xia's style is similar to these two;
There are only superstars in history who can attack and organize well at the same time, such as James, Bird, and Jerry West.
The Warriors saw the crux of the 76ers, and concentrated their strength on Wei Xia during the game.
Wei Xia felt the same treatment as Curry, which is the reason for his 6 turnovers tonight.
From the overall point of view, Weixia was not as comfortable as the first three games, which is also the main reason why the 76ers lost to the Warriors.
"I think Wish has shown all his energy." Wright was dissatisfied with the performance of the role players. "He played the whole game, scored half of the team's points, grabbed the most rebounds, contributed the most steals and blocked shots. When the core players make so many contributions, others should also stand up and take their part."
Wright used this to beat the role players in the team.
Wei Xia took the responsibility: "I made too many mistakes, but too few assists, and I didn't connect the team's offense."
"We don't care what others think, 2 to 2, this is the result, watch carefully, we want to win more!" Green laughed triumphantly, "We are resurrected, this is the performance we should have!"
Curry said modestly: "We should take a good look at our defense. It's too shameful for Wish to score 53 points!"
A question from a reporter made the atmosphere tense: "Games [-] and [-] will be officiated by Nick Butchert. Will this affect your preparations?"
"If we want to become champions, we should be able to adapt to all styles of games." Curry is confident, "Only in this way can we become a real world champion!"
Reporters can forget that they accused the 76ers of rough behavior in front of the media a few days ago;
It can also be forced to let his brain delete Steve Kerr accusing Bouchert of favoring the 76ers.
They still have to ask: "How exactly?"
Curry smiled, reflecting his strong self-confidence: "We know that the 76ers will play tough at that time, and my answer is simple-just be tougher than them."
There is a big difference between losing and winning. It determines who laughs at the media and who suffers at the reporters.
Tonight, the 76ers are the bitter face.
They don't have any excuses, they can only face it.
The next series will be more difficult. How to solve the shortcomings of the lineup, and how to challenge the Warriors in the fifth and sixth games, they need to think seriously.
They must throw away all fluke psychology, and they cannot think that the Warriors will collapse like Game1 and Game3.
The Warriors team, convinced that they are invincible and short of being crowned with a trophy, has been resurrected!
