On the Lakers bench, Jackson felt that his brain cells were dying quickly.
How dare you fight such a weird lineup?!
He admired Old Nelson very much in his heart. Only a "mad scientist" would dare to do such a crazy thing!
After putting away his admiration, Phil Jackson began to think about how to deal with the Warriors, but the more he thought about it, the more headache he got.
The Warriors' blind play caught the Lakers off guard, and their plan was completely disrupted.
Now asking him to temporarily find a way to deal with the Warriors is really difficult.
This weird lineup is so unexplainable!
Not only was the offensive firepower extremely fierce, but the defense also had no flaws.
Seeing that the timeout time was running out, Phil Jackson could only solve the offensive problem first.
So, Zen Master called the players together to quickly devise tactics.
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
The Lakers tried their best to implement the tactics arranged by the head coach, trying to find the Warriors' defensive weak points for misplaced singles.
The effect was immediate. Kobe beat Curry very easily, scoring consecutive points to stabilize the situation on the court.
Seeing this situation, Nelson took action and made the players quickly switch defenses without any effort to hide Curry as much as possible.
As a result, the Lakers' plan went bankrupt again, and the offensive end was paralyzed.
In order to break the deadlock, the Lakers were forced to start the star singles mode, but the success rate was not high.
After all, apart from Curry, Sun Yi and others are among the best defensive players, and their individual defense capabilities are second to none.
Nelson, who was sitting on the bench, saw that the situation on the court was gradually becoming clearer. He wanted to add fuel to the fire and replaced Curry with Teacher Tony to make up for the deficiencies on the defensive end.
But when he recalled Sun Yi's words, he gave up the idea.
During the next game, Nelson said it was so sweet, and he understood that Curry was indispensable in the top five.
When the Warriors attacked, Sun Yi and Curry played a pick-and-roll, forcing the inside to attract the defense and distribute the ball to the outside.
Outside the three-point line on the left, the unguarded primary school student received the pass and easily sent the ball into the net like a shooting drill.
Immediately afterwards, Kobe struck again in singles, and the Warriors launched a counterattack.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Seeing that the Lakers had settled down on defense, he was ready to organize some coordination.
Sun Yi understood the situation and quickly ran over to set up a pick-and-roll.
The elementary school student bypassed the screen to get rid of the defense, broke through from the right toward the basket, attracted the defense, and passed the ball to the center.
At the same time, Sun Yi, who had blocked the opponent, quickly rushed into the penalty area, received Curry's pass and completed a one-handed dunk.
The Lakers are really defenseless!
The cooperation between these two guys is incredible!
Sun Ku's pick-and-roll is much better than Ku-chai's pick-and-roll in the original time and space.
At this stage, Sun Yi is comparable to an enhanced version of James. The Lakers don't have two or three defenders inside, so they really can't stop him from scoring.
There is a sharpshooter Curry on the outside, who can rain three-pointers whenever he gets a chance.
In addition to these two guys, the Warriors also have a group of shooters on the outside. Once the three-point shot goes smoothly, the game will be completely ruined.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Lakers need to score points in order to narrow the point difference.
However, the Warriors' unlimited defense can interfere with every shot of the Lakers, and the shooting percentage can be imagined.
In this way, the Warriors relied on five deaths to quickly widen the point difference and establish the victory in one fell swoop.
After three quarters, the score on the big screen was 68-94, with the Warriors leading by 26 points entering the fourth quarter.
【In view of the general environment,
The game has basically entered garbage time, and the Lakers' chances of completing a shocking comeback in the fourth quarter are slim.
After the game started in the fourth quarter, Kobe was replaced after waiting for the main team to play for a few minutes.
It is really difficult for the Lakers to break through the Warriors' iron-barreled defense and recover a score difference of more than 20 points.
As the Lakers strategically gave up, the Warriors maintained their lead until the end.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 116-94, leading the total score 2-0.
In terms of statistics, Kobe scored a game-high 35 points, plus 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Although this data looks very impressive, it cannot allow the Lakers to win. To win, Kobe needs to do more and score more points.
For the Warriors, the best performer is Sun Yi.
In 38 minutes on the court, he scored a triple-double of 30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Curry's performance was also very important. He made 7 of 12 three-pointers and scored 25 points and 9 assists, a near-double-double.
It can be said that the Warriors' twin stars dealt a huge blow to the Lakers and played a crucial role in this series.
…
During the locker room interview after the game, the media reporters ignored the nagging feeling of losing and started to add insult to injury.
"Kobe, do you think you can win this series?"
"Although the total score is 0-2, which is very disadvantageous for us, I think we can win and I believe in my teammates." Kobe replied forcefully.
In fact, he knows very well that if the Warriors' strange lineup is not solved, the Lakers will have no chance of winning.
"Then do you have a plan to deal with the Warriors?"
"I think the coaching staff should be able to solve it. Phil will not let me down." Kobe said hard.
Although he said no mercy, Naochi knew in his heart that even if the problem was solved, if he did not perform well, it would still be difficult for the Lakers to win.
The Warriors are too strong this season and have basically no weaknesses. It is not easy to defeat them.
Kobe now just wants to win a victory in the remaining games so as not to be swept out.
On the other side of the Warriors locker room, Sun Yi was also being interviewed by media reporters.
"Sun, the situation is very favorable to the Warriors now. Do you think you can advance to the next round?"
The media reporters wanted Sun Yi to make the same bold statement in the first round again, but their calculations were wrong.
Sun Yi responded unconventionally: "Although both teams are from Los Angeles, their strengths are very different. I believe Kobe will not be willing to admit defeat. I know very well who he is and he will definitely bring us success."
If you come here to hinder me, it won’t be easy to advance.”
"I heard that tonight's new tactics are due to you, is that true?"
"I just made some suggestions to the coaching staff. It's all their credit for being able to play." Sun Yi replied modestly.
Afterwards, Sun Yi answered a few irrelevant questions before being let go by the reporters.
After the interview, Sun Yi went to the shower room to take a shower.
While taking a shower, Sun Yi was unknowingly thinking about how to play the next game.
"Don't give Nagging a chance, win the game in one go, or you'll have long nights and dreams!"
Sun Yi decided to cheat in the next game and not give Kobe any hope of winning.
This is the rhythm to sweep the Lakers!
"Isn't it a bit cruel, but I like it."
After taking a quick shower, Sun Yi was in a happy mood and walked towards the dressing room while humming a ditty...
