Chapter 596 Three-Point Battle!

The entire Warriors team has been shooting crazy three-pointers!

For this 73-win team that relies on shooting to win, this is not surprising. On the contrary, some netizens have always believed that the Warriors should break the single-game three-point record because they are the strongest three-pointers in history. team!

They didn't do this for the entire regular season. Maybe it was because they were too strong and the game lost suspense in the third quarter. And these young guys started to waste shots once they felt that the game was boring, so they were delayed. There was no record broken, and today, in the finals, the Knicks gave them the close match they wanted, which also allowed the Warriors to show their strongest three-point strength!

Coach Cole's heart was surging and he was very excited: "The whole world should have seen it, this is the strongest team in the new era!"

In this era, what kind of team is the strongest? That is the team with the strongest three-point shooting ability!

"In the future, if an outside player does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers, he will probably not be called a superstar!" Cole is excited that he has created a trend in the league. In the past, there may have been superstars like Wade who did not shoot three-pointers. , but in the future, as long as you want to be considered a superstar, you must practice shooting three-pointers.

In fact, LeBron James is also paying attention to this game, and he is also uneasy in his heart: "The Warriors are too strong. Even if we meet today, we will definitely lose, unless we can make 20 shots in a single game." More than three-pointers."

As the top team in the league, the Cavaliers are also very capable of three-pointers. Although James is not a three-pointer in everyone's impression, once he finds his form during the game, his three-pointers are still very accurate. With the addition of J.R. Smith, A three-point maniac, it is not a problem to make seven or eight shots in a game. Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are both good three-pointers, so it is possible for the Cavaliers to break the record.

Speights' three-pointer completely confused the Knicks. From position one to position five, everyone on the Warriors can shoot three-pointers, and they can all make them.

In fact, tonight was also the Knicks' best three-point shooting game, but it was not reflected under the light of the Warriors.

In the third quarter, Anthony and Porzingis also hit a three-pointer each, and the Knicks' number of three-pointers in a single game has reached 18.

The Warriors and Knicks may both hit more than 23 three-pointers in tonight's game. If the record is broken at the same time, then this game will be a true three-point battle.

Even so far, this is already the best three-point battle in NBA history. Thinking of the wayward competition between the two best three-point shooters in the world before the game started, everyone felt that this three-point battle was destined before the game started.

Slowly, towards the end of the third quarter, in the last two minutes, the crazy Warriors finally didn't hit another three-pointer. Similarly, the Knicks also scored 18 goals without any change.

However, there were only 2 seconds left in the last attack, and the Warriors still had the ball. In just two seconds, everyone knew that the Warriors would shoot a three-pointer.

"Is the Warriors' record-tying goal coming?" Many people were thinking this way.

If the Warriors make another three-pointer, they will tie the Rockets that year. Stephen Curry must be the first choice for shooting, and he will definitely try his best to score this goal.

At the end of the first two quarters, Curry and Xie Chen each hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer, which was tied one to one. This time, it was Curry's turn again. Why didn't Curry try to continue to lead Xie Chen? Where is the ball?

Xie Chen knew what Curry was thinking. When the Warriors were not serving, he pestered Curry and said to him: "I know you want to make this shot, but to tell you frankly, you don't have this chance. "

"Then try blocking me." Stephen Curry smiled, not taking Xie Chen's words seriously at all.

This kind of long-distance buzzer beater usually does not allow defensive players to guard too closely. Once a foul is called, it will be too much of a loss. Curry is confident that Xie Chen does not dare to make physical contact with him when he is defending.

Xie Chen originally wanted to intercept the Warriors' pass. As long as Curry ran forward and caught the ball, Xie Chen would definitely be able to intercept it. However, Curry chose a safer way to receive the ball. In this case, he was far away from the basket. It was relatively far away. Curry was not confident enough to shoot from such a far position in the backcourt, so he dribbled past Xie Chen with an ultra-low center of gravity. He thought that as long as he made a sudden move and got rid of Xie Chen, he could shoot directly. basket.

Curry only had one second to escape, and he did a very good job, but...

Snapped!

Curry passed by, but the ball was left by Xie Chen!

"What?" Curry was about to shoot, but found that the ball was not in his hands at all.

He turned around in great surprise. His dribbling with such a low center of gravity was actually interrupted? Sorry, what Paul likes most about his stealing ability is this low center of gravity dribbling.

After stealing the ball, there was only one second left. Xie Chen didn't even have a chance to aim at the basket. He hurriedly threw it out as if he had a bomb in his hand. He just threw it casually and hit it accurately!

Another three-pointer at the buzzer! If the buzzer-beating three-pointer is also considered a test event, Xie Chen currently leads Curry 2:1!

The audience at the scene was very excited: "This ball is so amazing. I didn't even see clearly how the ball was broken or how Xie shot it. It actually went in. The Knicks also made 19 three-pointers." The ball is divided! I wonder if the three-pointers between the two teams in the fourth quarter will be so crazy?"

Regardless of what happens in the fourth quarter, this game is destined to become the most exciting three-point showdown in NBA history.

It’s even going viral on the Internet that the NBA Finals is staging one of the most exciting three-point battles in history, attracting the attention of many viewers who don’t watch basketball. This is the year of the Olympics, and anything related to sports , everyone wants to participate.

In the Warriors dugout, the expressions of the players all looked quite happy. In their opinion, since they had shown their strongest strength, there should be no suspense in the game. And they did dominate the game.

Green smiled from ear to ear: "The Knicks guys were all stunned by us, hahaha. No matter who we were on the court, each of the five people on the court could throw a three-pointer. They couldn't even get a three-pointer." There's nothing we can do, there's no solution to this, right, coach?"

Cole also smiled happily. Although Green was a little overly optimistic, he was right. If the team only had Stephen Curry as a three-point shooter, the opponent might be very defensive. Now five people can shoot. If you dare to shoot, who can defend it?

The Warriors are shooting so wildly from the outside, and the Knicks' defense on the outside will definitely increase. Once this happens, the Warriors can take the opportunity to play inside, and the Knicks still can't defend it.

"The initiative is already in our hands. It shouldn't be a big problem to win this game." Coach Cole secretly said in his heart. As long as they still maintain the threat from the outside in the fourth quarter and combine their outside attacks, the Knicks will definitely Unable to resist.

The game started quickly in the fourth quarter. The Knicks looked obviously worried, while the Warriors were very relaxed. Now the Warriors don't even think about who can win the game, but think about the Warriors' 23rd three-pointer. Who will hit the ball?

At this time, the main players of both sides are still resting off the court, and the best three-pointers are not there. Among the substitute players, Speights, Barbosa, and Iguodala all have opportunities.

It would be fine if it was really these guys who made the shot. No one expected that the 23rd three-pointer was made by someone who had never made a single three-pointer in the game and was the only one in the team whose three-point ability was lower than League average perimeter player, Livingston!

"Oh my God, Livingston actually hit a three-pointer!"

"Wow!" The entire Warriors dugout was excited!

Stephen Curry and Draymond Green jumped up in shock, Bogut kept waving towels, and everyone else danced excitedly, celebrating as if it were a home game.

Livingston hit a three-pointer, which completely brought the excitement of the Warriors team to the highest level! Everyone was overjoyed, and Coach Kerr was smiling from ear to ear. This improved the morale of the Warriors and was a huge blow to the Knicks.

You know, Livingston, as a defender, has not made as many three-pointers in his entire 12-year career as Kurisiechen made in one game!

Last season, Livingston took nearly 400 shots, and in a three-point team like the Warriors, he only took 2 three-pointers and his shooting percentage was 0.

After Livingston scored this goal, he was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable, and then, perhaps because he heard his teammates howling like wolves, he actually imitated Jordan's shrugging action.

Everyone in the Knicks dugout was holding their breath.

Porzingis was indignant: "You can hear the cheers over there from so far away. Whose home field is this? Why didn't anyone suppress their damn laughter?"

Xie Chen stood up without saying a word and said expressionlessly: "I can't stand it anymore, let me play!"

Fisher looked at Xie Chen and understood Xie Chen's mood at the moment. After nodding, he looked at Ci Shiping: "You can also play with Xie."

Ci Shiping was stunned, he actually had a role in playing? Ci Shiping immediately understood what Fisher was going to do, and the two were considered brothers. Fisher obviously couldn't stand the Warriors being so arrogant, so he asked Ci Shiping to come on the court to dispel the Warriors' arrogance.

Seeing Xie Chen suddenly stand up in the Warriors dugout, Green quickly stood up too: "It seems that our friends over there can't help but play early, and we don't want to rest. The excitement tonight makes me It’s okay to play two more quarters!”

Cole also nodded: "Okay, then you guys should go on the field early and solve this game as soon as possible. Remember, the most important thing is to win."

Now the Knicks are 12 points behind. The point difference is not out of reach, nor is it the most important. The most important thing is morale. The Knicks have lost too many to the Warriors.

Even Livingston, who had not been able to throw a three-pointer in several years, made a three-pointer. This greatly improved the morale of the Warriors. With the whole team performing so unbelievably, they won. The confidence is basically impossible to be shaken.

"Morale... If you want to win this game, you must first destroy their morale." Xie Chen entered an unprecedented serious state.

This game is the most difficult game Xie Chen has encountered this season.

Xie Chen and Ci Shiping played on the Knicks side, and Curry and Green also played on the Warriors side. Xie Chen wanted to beat the Warriors bench, but Curry would not let him.

Xie Chen******** wanted to end the Warriors' crazy wave of emotions, so the first ball was very fierce.

After Westbrook made a quick breakthrough, he rushed to the basket regardless of where the defender was. Now that Speights was still on the court, Xie Chen's facial expression looked quite scary, as if he was about to kill someone. During this time, the Warriors were laughing. With such unscrupulousness, no one thought how bad Xie Chen would be in a bad mood at home. In addition, Speights repeatedly verbally assaulted Xie Chen on the bus. If Xie Chen rushed up and performed a dunk on Speights. , Speights will definitely not be surprised.

Therefore, Speights was so frightened that he did not dare to jump, did not block Xie Chen, and allowed Xie Chen to dunk. Anyway, there are only two options for rushing over now, either to be ridden and dunked, or to drag Xie Chen down and commit a foul himself so that Xie Chen can shoot the free throw. Speights doesn't think he can block the slam dunk king's dunk.

Xie Chen held back his energy and flew into the air. He wanted to dunk angrily from the front, but suddenly found that Speights didn't even jump. He immediately turned slightly sideways in the air and dunked with both hands behind his back!

Since Speights didn't dare to guard, Xie Chen took the opportunity to perform a fancy dunk!

Xie Chen's dunk was thought to change the mood of the scene, but he was wrong.

The fans at home didn't react enthusiastically to Xie Chen's dunk with both hands, and were even a little deserted!

"How could this happen?" Xie Chen was stunned after dunking the ball. He thought he was at the Warriors' home court. Why did the Knicks fans react so weakly to this dunk? Is the team lagging too far behind, or are they already used to Xie Chen's dunks?

In fact, even the audience themselves didn't understand why they didn't scream and cheer after Xie Chen's dunk.

A young white man asked his companion: "That ball was dunked beautifully just now."

The companion replied: "Yes, it is wonderful."

The white youth asked: "Then why didn't you cheer?"

My companion also shook his head: "Yes, I should be very excited."

Even LeBron James, who was not present at the scene, could see the lackluster response. James exclaimed: "Dunnk with both hands behind the back! Even the dunk with two hands behind the back with a defensive player under the basket failed to ignite the excitement of the home fans. Emotion! Now, except for three-pointers, fans have no feeling for any form of scoring! Oh my God, the NBA game has evolved to this point!"
