One Thousand One Hundred and Two: The Difficulty of 3 Times and 2 Times Is Discounted in Half.
Zach Randolph is holding the ball in the low post, and Durant is guarding him.
When Randolph was just about to play, everyone was dismissive, thinking that the Grizzlies had no choice but to replace him with an old "black bear".
But now, no one can laugh.
Randolph pushed back hard, and Durant couldn't help but take a big step back.
The old Zach is more powerful than he thought. Although not as thick as Gasol and Jokic, it is equally difficult to resist.
At a similar position, Randolph suddenly turned his back and wanted to walk towards the basket.
Durant, who had faster feet, naturally didn't give him a chance. He blocked his position and prevented Zach from breaking through comfortably.
But during the march, Randolph turned around again with Durant as his axis! Moreover, after turning around, he reached for a layup very smoothly, without giving Durant a chance to block the shot.
Randolph, who is nearly 40 years old, flexibly turned twice in a row in the low post and successfully scored the ball! At this time, the difference between the two sides became 12 points!
"Beautiful, Zach scored 6 points in a row after coming on the court! I bet Kevin never expected that he would suffer from Zach Randolph!"
Mark Jackson yelled, this was the third goal in a row that Randolph scored!
In today's era of fast pace and three-pointers, few teams will give the fourth and fifth positions the opportunity to post up.
Randolph suddenly performed like this today, but everyone was shocked.
It turns out that his low post skills are still so superb, still so good, and he can still score!
Fortunately, the electronic buzzer at the end of the third quarter saved the Warriors, and the "big black bear"'s rampage in the Warriors' interior was temporarily suspended.
When Randolph walked off the court, he didn't forget to wink at Link.
Serious yet a little bit ridiculous, this is indeed Zach Randolph.
However, a 12-point difference is not so easy to tie and overtake. In the fourth quarter, there will inevitably be a fierce battle.
But now, Link is more confident about the fierce battle ahead.
"Zach,
Nice job, kept suppressing their inside line until Cole had to replace Pachulia! Link, in the fourth quarter you and Zachary worked together to completely open up the offense! But on the defensive end, I still need you to face Durant. Lock him up and don't give him any chance! "
Joger is also full of passion now. For a head coach, there is nothing more exciting than that his strategy works.
Although Randolph's height and defensive ability do not allow him to fully exert the effect of the starting twin towers like a true center.
But he has proven that, at least on the offensive end, he can blast the Warriors' low post!
As long as they can penetrate the Warriors' low post, the momentum will come to the Grizzlies' side.
What's more, they have Link next!
Link is also ready for a big fight. 12 points seems to be quite a lot.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not like there has never been a bigger reversal than this.
As soon as the buzzer sounded to start the fourth quarter, the Warriors fans at the scene burst into their loudest cheers to cheer for their team.
Durant stared directly at Link, who reappeared. He was not just satisfied with a 12-point lead.
Randolph's 6 points just now were just an accident. Durant did not believe that the outcome of this game would be changed because of an insignificant Randolph.
However, the Grizzlies came up with the first attack, and the ball was hit into Randolph's hands.
It can be seen that the Grizzlies just want to use Randolph to eat Durant!
"Fuck, stop looking down on people!" Durant held Randolph's waist. He would not be defeated by an old man.
Due to the space opened by Jokic, Randolph and Durant have a lot of room for movement in the low post, which allows Randolph's movement to not be restricted.
Randolph leaned on Durant and jumped to the basket. Durant raised his arms high, not giving Randolph any room to take action.
But Randolph didn't want to attack the frame, but immediately collected the ball and passed it to the side.
At the moment of passing the ball, a gust of wind blew past Randolph. The next second, Link hung the basketball on the rim.
Randolph assisted Link who cut in and dunked!
"Livingston was completely unable to guard against Link's off-ball movement. His defensive range was not wide enough! Zach's support in the low post was very beautiful, and Link scored easily."
After the goal, Link bumped fists with Randolph. Now, the point difference is only 10 points!
"Hey, thanks Zach!"
"You're welcome, let's tie the score in one go!"
Durant gritted his teeth unwillingly, and Link dunked as soon as he came up, which was a slap in his face.
Soon, Durant launched a counterattack, hoping to kill Randolph.
But after he passed half the game, he realized that it was Link who came to defend him personally!
Randolph went to stare at Livingston. Although it was also a misplacement, Livingston's offensive power was naturally not comparable to Durant's.
Durant felt a little uncomfortable. He was dunked on the top of his head by Link but could not respond in time. Naturally, he was very depressed.
But for the sake of the team's victory, he could only curb his desire to play alone.
The Warriors continued to use their superb conduction to find opportunities outside the three-point line, but in the fourth quarter, their conduction became more difficult to create gaps.
The presence of Randolph and Jokic also makes it more difficult for the Warriors to score.
In the end, it was Livingston who got the chance from outside the three-pointer. It is still somewhat difficult for Randolph to catch up with Livingston.
However, Livingston is precisely the Warriors guard who is least able to shoot three-pointers! This is why Joger dared to use Randolph to defend him.
Was Livingston running out of space? It doesn't matter, let him vote!
Livingston was hesitant when he found himself free. So far in his career, his total three-point attempts have been less than 70...
Last season, he took bold shots with the Warriors. He only took 12 shots and only hit two of them.
Livingston gritted his teeth and chose to break into the mid-range.
The cunning Randolph immediately pounced on him and completed the interference the moment Livingston took the mid-range shot.
The basketball hits the frame and the Grizzlies have the ball!
"Zach's experience is really rich, and Livingston can't get any good results from him!"
While Mark Jackson was speaking, Cole also frowned and looked at Pachulia.
He knew what the grizzly bears were up to, but the more this happened, the less he could follow their wishes.
Cole decided not to make substitutions and continued to fight the Grizzlies with a small lineup!
This time, Randolph and Link cover.
Durant took the initiative to switch to Link, and he was happy to accept Link's challenge.
But after Durant changed positions, Link suddenly gave up the breakthrough and stood still outside the three-point line.
"What's wrong? Don't you dare to come!?"
Link looked at Durant with a "you idiot" expression.
"Do I need to come?" After saying that, Link gently pushed the ball inside.
Randolph has already taken his position, and behind him is Shaun Livingston!
Link and Randolph played pick-and-rolls not to break through, but to create mismatches!
"Fuck!" Durant was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he couldn't leave Link alone. On the other hand, he really wanted to help defend Randolph.
Just when he was still hesitating, Randolph easily turned around and made a hook shot, and scored.
Livingston is 2.01 meters tall, which is considered tall in the first position. But it was still a bit difficult to get to the fourth position by mistake.
"It's Zach again, another goal! Link and Zach's connection is very exquisite. Now the point difference is back to single digits. What should the Golden State Warriors do?"
Although Randolph is not taller than 2.10 meters, he once again allowed the Grizzlies to achieve the same effect as when the Twin Towers were on the court.
Cole still didn't make a change, he wanted to see another ball. If the score continues to get closer, something must be done.
In the subsequent offense, Green broke through Jokic from beyond the three-point line.
But Randolph made it to the basket immediately, slowing down Green's advancement.
Taking advantage of Green's delay, Link rushed over and reached out to slap him, and there was a chaser!
After completing the connection on the offensive end, Link and Randolph cooperated on the defensive end.
Seeing that Green was exposed, the entire Warriors team retreated nervously and quickly. But Link calmly stabilized the rhythm, causing the Warriors to run in vain.
Link will not follow the Warriors. From now on, the game will gradually enter the rhythm that the Grizzlies adapt to.
Halftime passed slowly and leisurely, and Link continued to ask Randolph to cover.
This time, Durant didn't dare to switch defense again. Let Livingston deal with Randolph alone in the low post, which is no different from directly giving up points.
But Durant didn't change defense, and Livingston couldn't bypass Randolph and return to Link immediately.
So this time, Link was not polite to Durant. Since he was given a chance, of course he would be beaten!
Link used the cover to break through quickly, rushed directly to the inside, and completed the split with great force.
The point difference was only 6 points, and the Warriors' defense was cut into pieces!
The cooperation of Link and Randolph instantly reduced the difficulty of the Grizzlies' offense.
Now, Cole couldn't wait any longer.
He called a timeout, and whether they wanted to or not, the Warriors had to change their lineup again...
