In the low post, Horford turned and hooked the shot in.
2 to 2.
The notorious "Golden State Lambier" can't completely hide Murphy's weaknesses on defense.
In terms of defense alone, Kwame Brown clearly would be a better match against Horford in this finals.
However, after analyzing with several assistant coaches, Warriors head coach Mike Malone still opted for Murphy to pair with Qin Yue in the paint.
At the high post, using Murphy's pick-and-roll, the Golden State Humanoid Tank instantly drew Duncan's double-team.
And while Horford was preparing to resume defending Qin Yue, Murphy quietly distanced himself from Qin Yue.
Qin Yue didn't waste Murphy's instinctive movement.
Keeping eye contact with Duncan, Qin Yue threw an awe-inspiring no-look pass to the ready Murphy.
Swish—!
In the next second, Murphy made a three-pointer, 2 to 5.
