Chapter 221 Ready to Play
US time, on June 6, the fourth game between the Raptors and the Warriors will continue at the Oracle Arena.
This game is a life and death battle between the Raptors and the Warriors.
The Warriors, who have lost three games in a row, have already stood on the edge of the cliff with both feet.
Although the Warriors this season eliminated the Houston Rockets, the most popular seeded team to win the championship, the fact is so cruel.
They are already 0 to 3 behind the Raptors!
From the very beginning of the game, the game was full of suspense.
Whether the Toronto Raptors won the NBA championship this season in one go, or the Warriors made a strong comeback and kept the suspense of the game, has become a topic of discussion among all NBA media and fans.
Now no one doubts the strength of the Raptors.
They use practical actions to tell people that the Raptors are the best team in the NBA!
Oakland fans still gave the Warriors the warmest applause.
Fans still believe that the Warriors are the most amazing team in the world, they can perform miracles and win back the championship trophy that the Raptors ate into their mouths!
In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors' three major scorers were fully fired.
Curry and Thompson successively hit exciting three-pointers from a distance of one meter from the three-point line.
Durant succeeded in two consecutive singles OG Anunobi.
Due to the last game, the final result of Xiaoka's brain physical examination has not yet been determined.
According to the NBA's concussion protocol, the league has the right to forcibly disqualify Leonard from his fourth game.
Leonard can continue to play the game until the final result comes out.
So, Nass took Leonard's substitute, the heavy engineer OG, to the starting lineup.
I have to say that the Raptors' luck in the past two years has been overwhelming.
Not only did the rookies Ge Feng and Siakam who joined the Raptors last year perform well, even this summer, the underrated rookie, heavy engineer OG Anunobi, has gradually developed three-point capabilities.
After Anunoby expanded his threat range, his shooting percentages skyrocketed.
Moreover, Anunobi's large weight is also a type of player that Durant is very afraid of.
Anunobi started the game without any fear at all.
The five-year-old and three-thick man quickly returned the blow, smashing Durant's thin and small body and paying back.
After Leonard's diagnosis, the Raptors can still play well against the Warriors.
The score has not been opened.
According to Xia Shilan's order, Ge Feng didn't take this match too seriously.
The game without Leonard is really difficult to play. Even if Ge Feng takes the posture of the previous game, it is impossible to beat the Golden State Warriors.
Moreover, after a day's rest, the complications after the overdraft were gradually exposed.
Ge Feng was not in good form in this game. He played for only 20 minutes before being replaced by Nas.
VanVleet and Danny Green get plenty of acting opportunities.
Van Jordan, as always, continued the touch of Jordan in the finals, and Curry, who recorded an unreasonable three-pointer, was miserable.
Danny Green has excellent defense and even better three-pointers.
When Lowry played with Danny Green, the Raptors even had a tendency to chase points.
It's a pity that, following the customary rhythm of the third quarter, Curry, Thompson, and Durant hit three-pointers in succession, ending the game.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, Nas had given up the game, replaced all the main players, and let the substitutes who had few opportunities to play go up to play.
Cole also replaced the main force one after another, and the Warriors finally held a city at their doorstep.
In terms of statistics, Durant played extremely efficiently in this game, with an efficiency value of +26 ranking first among all players.
The quasi-triple-double data of 46 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in a single game once again refreshed fans' perception of Durant's ability.
For the rest of the players, Curry hit 7 three-pointers in a single game and scored 30 points and 6 assists.
Thompson regained his touch in desperation, made 12 of 8 shots, scored 34 points and 8 rebounds, successfully helped the Warriors escape, and kept the suspense.
For the Raptors, OG, who started the game, scored a mini triple-double of 11 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. It is worth mentioning that OG's shooting percentage reached a terrifying 60%.
This is the report card that OG produced when facing Durant. Raptors fans are very satisfied with OG's performance.
Ge Feng only played 20 minutes and scored 8 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound. Ge Feng's downturn was also one of the key factors for the Raptors' loss.
But the fans will not blame Ge Feng, Ge Feng's performance in the last game is obvious to all.
At this moment, the fans are very united to send blessings to Ge Feng, hoping that Ge Feng can recover to his best condition before the start of the next game.
Both Ge Feng and Leonard were absent, and Lowry became the only core of the team.
In this game, Lowry proved to the fans the true value of his second-in-command to the Raptors.
+22 efficiency value, 33 points and 10 assists, as well as 3 steals and 1 key block against Thompson, all tell Lowry's desire for a championship.
Van Vleet is still the same Van Jordan who waved the towel and jumped in place, plus a little bit of Curry attributes.
Van Vleet played 28 minutes and scored 24 points and 7 assists.
Even Danny Green, who was squeezed out of the starting lineup by Ge Feng in the second half of the regular season, completed 2 personal steals against Thompson in this game, and made 6 of 3 three-pointers, helping his scoring almost break through double digits.
At this point, the Raptors and the Warriors interacted after the game, and took the opportunity to return to their hometown-Toronto.
The next game between the Raptors and the Warriors will continue to be held at the Canada Center Arena.
All Raptors players are ready to win their first O'Brien trophy in team history in their hometown!
According to the competition system of the NBA Finals, after the first four games are played, the two sides will hold a game every other day after that.
This means that for the rest of the game day, the two teams will have to live on the plane non-stop.
At the same time, there is another thing that makes the Raptors very anxious.
At the same time, all the media are speculating whether Leonard can return to the court in the fifth game.
In the fourth game without Leonard, Durant was completely on the offensive end and dominated the game.
Only Xiaoka can make Durant's firepower less fierce.
At the same time, Kaka is also the most indispensable core of the Raptors' offense and defense.
Leonard's concussion test report has not yet come out.
If the test report fails to produce results before Nas submits the list of activated players, Leonard will continue to be enforced by the league on the non-playing list.
Ge Feng was also very worried about this matter.
After four or five days of rest, Ge Feng's body is fine, and he is confident that he will be back to his best competitive state before the next game.
But if the team doesn't have a small card, Ge Feng knows that they can't win the Warriors.
A little later on the rest day, Leonard's concussion test report finally came out.
The report sheet pointed out that Leonard's various data did not show concussion.
Leonard is available for Game [-] against the Golden State Warriors.
At this moment, the whole of Canada is boiling...
