"..."
After the game, after taking a shower, doing interviews, and packing supper, Su Bei returned home and scanned the system information to improve as a habit, with no sadness or joy on his face.
Cold data is not as cute as a hot midnight snack right now.
After all, you can eat late night snacks, but you can only look at the data.
A restless night!
Time flies, and November 7th is here in a blink of an eye.
The Lakers took a private jet to start their road trip.
The first stop came to Golden State to challenge the rising Warriors.
In the 11/12 season, the Warriors hired Mark Jackson, who had little coaching experience but dared to say he was in his own right, as head coach and began to create a "defensive" culture that the Warriors had never paid attention to.
In the middle of the 11/12 season, the Warriors made a deal that affected the championship situation. They traded their star player Ellis to the Bucks and obtained the No. 1 pick in 2005, center Bogut, known as White Duncan.
He moved out of the shooting guard position, and then moved Thompson into the position, allowing the Warriors to bid farewell to the era of double leakage in the backcourt.
Curry...no, it was David Lee who joined in 2010 and officially became the boss of the Warriors.
The question is that in the 11/12 season, Curry suffered a season-ending injury. The Warriors have already questioned Curry's health and are considering giving up on him.
Finally, with the support of two big guys, Nelson and West, starting from the 2012/13 season, the Warriors took a risk and used a historic 4-year cheap contract worth $44 million to keep future MVP Curry.
The Warriors.
This contract will take effect in the summer of 2013 and expire in the summer of 2017, allowing the Warriors to benefit from the salary space in order to compete for the championship in the future.
For example: Durant's operation of joining if he can't beat him is based on the premise that Curry becomes the number one player in the league but earns an annual salary of 12 million.
I'm going too far, but 2012 was a great year for the Warriors.
In the draft, Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green were also picked, and in the free market, two tough players, Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry, were brought in, who came out of the wave of injuries.
The Warriors are thriving and competitive with elite talent.
During the warm-up, Kobe and David Lee chatted about how many cents they had.
Curry also came over to join in the fun and added an extra dollar.
Paul also chatted with David Lee and Bogut about their debut together in 2005.
Su Bei didn't join in the fun. He was a first-round pick, but he was only a second-round pick and a role player. Don't join in the fun. It's better to quietly shoot the ball to warm up.
At this time, the lineup of the opponent tonight was also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Warriors' top five, Bogut, David Lee, Harrison Barnes, Thompson, Curry.
Lakers five players, Jordan Hill, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe, Paul.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Barkley and Kenny Smith providing commentary.
"Don't blame me for being too honest. This Warriors team now has a great future and has the hard power to compete for tickets to the playoffs.
But compared with the strength of the Lakers, it is still one dimension behind.
The Warriors should win this game instead of losing less!"
"Indeed!" Kenny Smith nodded.
“In terms of coaching position, the Warriors have Mark Jackson who has just finished his rookie coaching career.
This person has been in the Pacers and Knicks, two defensive players, and should be able to inject defensive genes into this Warriors team!
Don't even think about defense. He will only learn to leave the damn basketball to the stars. He does not have his own tactical system, and the advantage lies with the Lakers.
As for the lineup, the Warriors are pretty good on the inside, and the outside is mainly composed of newcomers. However, the Lakers' strongest point is their offensive firepower on the outside. What can the Warriors do to top it?
If I had to guess a winning percentage, I hope it would be 28, with the Lakers at 8 and the Warriors at 2..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Bogut defeated Gasol and won the first possession of the ball for the Warriors.
Barnes quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and Su Bei followed up slowly.
Thompson also speeded up and was guarded by Kobe.
"Curry takes the ball to the top of the arc and Paul defends it. Next, let's see how the Warriors play?
Oh, both Bogut and David Lee were pulled into the corner, and Thompson and Barnes were running non-stop on both sides, a bit like the Spurs.
Curry broke through with the ball, turned over David Lee's card, played a pick-and-roll, shook off Paul's press, broke through, and faced Gasol's switch, and shot a two-point emergency stop jumper.
…”
In the 12/13 season, the Warriors need to focus on defense. The main offensive tactic is a very simple pick-and-roll tactic, but simplicity is simplicity, and the Lakers are not easy to defend.
Gasol was called out by Curry. It was impossible to successfully switch defense. He could only listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
"pretty!!
Curry shoots great!!
This is the guy who makes his living in the league. His injury status was not affected last season. On the contrary, after renewing his contract with the Warriors, Curry became more courageous as he played, and his offensive firepower exploded.
This season, he averaged 24 points per game and was the Warriors’ leading scorer..."
Without Ellis to pressure Curry to take action, under Mark Jackson's offensive system that relies on stars, Curry has become the most beautiful gun in the Warriors' lineup.
2 to 0!!
Off the court, Mike Brown was very calm.
When it comes to attacking, the Lakers never care about how many points their opponents score, because they don't score as many points as the Lakers. He still has this little bit of confidence.
On the defense of Jiangsu North, Barnes slipped away and failed to help defend Curry in time. Returning to the offensive round, he immediately ambush in the right three-point corner.
Barnes is on guard.
Paul, who brought the ball to the frontcourt, did not pass the ball to Kobe, who was being closely pressed by Thompson. Instead, he passed the ball to Gasol, who was pulled up to the high post, and then cut inside to the basket.
"Gasol received the basketball, but couldn't stop Curry from chasing him. Paul cut to the basket, but failed to find a chance to hit the Warriors' backdoor. He immediately slipped to the baseline and ran to the bottom corner of the right three-point line.
Su Bei moved from the right corner to the 70-degree three-point line on the right side. After receiving Gasol's pass, he immediately raised the ball and made a three-point jump shot. Barnes chased after him and pressed forward.
.
Oh...no, Barnes was played. Su Bei faked a shot and broke through inside. Gasol turned around and used his body to block David Lee. Su Bei's breakthrough was like passing through the streets in the early morning. It was over.
, I also pulled it up and ejaculated..."
Bang, swish——!
Su Bei used a mediocre layup to hit the board and send the damn basketball into the basket.
2 to 2!!
“Very nice triangle offense coordination!!
The offensive triangle formed by Gasol, Paul and Su Bei makes the offense increasingly difficult to defend.
The defensive system the Warriors have just established cannot withstand it at all..."
Off the court, Mark Jackson's face was equally calm.
After all, the Warriors have always been an offensive team, and it will take at least three years to develop their defensive genes.
It’s only the second year now and the lineup has just been built.
Not urgent!
On the court, the Warriors were attacking. Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and was defended by Paul. However, he did not rush to attack and looked for opportunities to deal cards.
In the low post on the left, Bogut sank to the basket, stuck Jordan Hill, and was asking for the ball.
At the same time, Thompson cut to the basket from the right side, slipped Kobe to run without the ball, and with the help of David Lee's screen, he got away from Kobe and quickly ran to the 70-degree three-point line on the left side.
Seeing this, Curry immediately pushed with both hands and passed the damn basketball.
"Catch the ball a little, take another step to the side, shake for a moment, Kobe rushes over with all his strength, adjusts his center of gravity, and then raises his hand and shoots a three-point jumper..."
Kobe thought about the matchup with Hamilton...no, Reggie Miller.
For such an off-ball offense, Kobe was running very aggressively, but it was still of no use. He could only bet that Thompson's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
Wrong guess, Thompson's three-point pistol has bullets in it.
"Three points already!!
Thompson didn't waste the opportunity, connected with Curry, and blasted the damn basketball into the basket.
Thompson demonstrated his shooting talent to the fullest.
Of course, I have to mention that there is something special about Mark Jackson’s coaching!
This copying job is very skillful. The offensive round just now is simply a replica of the pass and shot of Mark Jack and Sonrej Miller..."
As a man who competes with Stockton for the historical assists title, Mark Jackson cannot be too easy to train Curry as a dealer.
As an off-ball offensive shooter, Thompson shot 41% from three-point range in his rookie season.
Although this season has dropped to 40.5%, that is because the number of shots taken is too much. He averaged 6.4 shots per game and was able to score 2.6. Rounding off, he averaged 3 three-pointers per game. Playing the role of Reggie Miller, it is very reasonable!
5 to 2!!
"The Warriors' new perimeter shooters are hot at the beginning. Next, let's see how the Lakers respond.
Paul dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed the basketball to Kobe to challenge Thompson, hoping to regain the lost points.
Let’s take a look at Thompson’s defense!
OMG!
With a feint of a step, and then a breakthrough with the ball, Thompson was passed by Kobe like he was passing through the streets in the early morning, and he was completely unable to parry.
Kobe went in, and Bogut, who was staying in the penalty area, came to help the defense, and then, nothing happened..."
Kobe feinted the ball in the paint for a layup, easily reached the basket, and then made a one-handed dunk, slamming the basketball into the basket.
Bang-dang——!
"pretty!!
Kobe Bryant easily penetrated the Warriors' defense all by himself!!
The Warriors still have to pay more tuition on defense!
Of course, it's not their fault, their opponent is a man named Kobe Bryant.
There is no shame in being blown away by Kobe Bryant on the entire defense, and the Warriors also made money..."
No matter how beautiful Kobe's dribbling and dunking were, they were only two points.
But Thompson scored 3 points.
5 to 4!!
The leader is still the Warriors.
Defensively, Su Bei continues to play the game. After all, Barnes is just a rookie and has already performed well without making mistakes. There is no need for him to be the main offensive player.
