Chapter 658: This is strength, not a difference in dimensional strength.
"Regardless of tactics, physical fitness, or experience, the Warriors are still too weak!
Any tactics the Warriors can think of, the Lakers have already prepared!
Let’s see next, whether the Warriors will continue to score three-pointers or change their approach..."
Curry controlled the ball to the frontcourt, but Paul was pressing hard again. He couldn't break through, couldn't break through at all.
A strong three-point shot, but without the feel and space, Curry chose to hand over the ball and switch to playing without the ball.
This is his advantage!
"Li Wei received the ball and provided a screen for Curry who was cutting to the basket, and Paul caught up closely.
Thompson also found David Lee as a screen, and Kobe was blocked.
After receiving the pass from David Lee, Thompson made a steady move, raised the ball from the free throw line, raised his hand and made a two-point jump shot..."
Kobe can be said to be inactive, but as a shooter without the ball, he has no martial ethics at all.
They were hiding from each other and never thought about attacking head-on. The two-on-one cooperation allowed Kobe's active defense to prevent anyone from getting lonely.
Bang-dang——!
"Missed!
The opportunity came up, and Thompson took action, but it also didn't work.
The entire Warriors team is still too young. Among the five top players, only Bogut has played in the playoffs.
Four of them are all doing it for the first time, so they will be nervous and at a loss. This is normal.
But unfortunately, in the first round, if the Warriors want to win, they have to work hard and fight to the end. It’s too difficult..."
Especially for shooters, the impact is not a big one.
Curry and Thompson continued to attack and strike.
This time, the Lakers strengthened their awareness of rebound protection. Even Su Bei rushed into the penalty area and tried to grab rebounds.
David Lee stepped aside to provide support, relying solely on Bogut and unable to grab rebounds at all.
During the transition between offense and defense, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, saw Kobe grabbing his body, and immediately passed the ball over.
After Kobe received the triple threat, he broke through with the ball and made a sudden stop. Thompson quickly jumped up to block the shot. Then, Kobe touched him emotionally.
Beep——!
"Too bullying!
Kobe played the role of Thompson and easily got the opportunity to get to the free throw line and make free throws.
This is called experience!”
Swish——!
Swish——!
Kobe showed no mercy and made both free throws.
9 to 14!!
The score difference became 5 points.
Hong Kong, the Warriors still have a chance to get back.
But Curry, who was playing in the playoffs for the first time, didn't dare to play or shoot when faced with Paul's pressing pressure.
Control the ball to the frontcourt, distribute the ball to David Lee who is supporting him in the high post, and then cut into the basket without the ball.
"Curry went in, took advantage of the cover, and jumped out again!
After receiving a pass from David Lee, he raised the ball from outside the three-point line and took a three-point shot... No, when he saw Paul save it, he immediately collected the ball, dribbled the ball in and broke through. Jiangsu North came to help defend, and Curry immediately scored.
The ball went out, to Bogut in the low post on the left, and then ran away..."
Bang——!
Bogut hit Jordan Hill in the low post on the left. When he saw Su Bei coming to defend him again, he immediately turned around and shot a jumper...
Jordan Hill was disadvantaged by his height and couldn't reach him, so he could only block the shot with all his strength, and then heard the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
"Another double strike missed!
Bogut just made his comeback not long ago and is still looking for form.
Anyway, after his comeback, he lost his mid-range shooting ability..."
At his peak, this person could score 16 points and 10 rebounds, but now he only has 6 points and 7.7 rebounds left, and he only knows how to eat pie!
This is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing is that he has not realized that he can only eat cake.
It's like thinking that you can fight for 30 seconds, but you didn't expect that you would lose it in 5 seconds.
Even though he lost it, he thought it was just an accident!
It will be longer next time.
Off the court, Mark Jackson looked ugly.
At this time, the Warriors missed three-pointers and two points.
How to fight this?
On the court, the Lakers attack.
Paul did not continue to play Kobe's cards. Thompson knew that he could not guard Kobe and was trying his best to defend Kobe and prevent him from receiving the ball.
"The lob was given to Gasol in the high post. Paul chose the outside line and continued to shift positions with Su Bei, bringing Curry's defense in front of Su Bei.
Outside the 75-degree three-point line on the right side, Su Bei caught the ball and lifted it. When he saw Curry rushing over, he clicked, collected the ball and passed it to Gasol, and then cut into the basket.
Gasol acted like he was kicking against a wall, quickly passing the ball to Su Bei, regaining the basketball, and driving into the penalty area. Su Bei showed off a small throw from horseback riding and archery..."
As the defensive core of the Warriors, Bogut actively swept in to block shots, but the injury took away his athletic ability, leaving only his height of 2.13 meters.
Facing this kind of mounted shooting in Northern Jiangsu, it is impossible to cover it, it is impossible to cover it at all.
Swish——!
"Fine!
Su Bei continued to add to the Lakers' offensive firepower.
Hong Kong, the Lakers' offense almost never missed a shot.
The Warriors' defensive awareness has been greatly improved this season, but it's a pity that none of this group of players can play defensively..."
With this defensive ability, how can you still try to defend Der?
Off the court, Mark Jackson shook his head, feeling that this Warriors lineup is not good!
There is nothing wrong with attacking in the regular season, but the defense is really bad!
When it comes to a tough battle, no one can stand up.
9 to 16!!
In the back-and-forth situation just now, the score difference widened to 7 points in just a few plays.
This is strength, not a dimensional difference in strength.
The Warriors can make the playoffs not because they are really strong, but because there are 8 spots in the playoffs.
In other words, the Lakers only took the test for 100 points because the test paper only had 100 points.
The Warriors only passed with 60 points.
During the transition between offense and defense, Curry still couldn't break out in the face of pressing pressure and had no space to shoot.
But Mark Jackson, who doesn’t know what a shooter like Curry really needs like Coach Kerr does?
Without unlimited cover, Curry simply can't get rid of Paul's defense.
"Curry asked for a tactic and played a pick-and-roll tactic with David Lee.
Here we go, David Lee catches the ball and uses a misplaced jumper to test Paul's 183. Will he hit it..."
Faced with this test of naming names, Paul has already prepared for it!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He did not flinch, and almost flew towards David Lee, trying to interfere with David Lee's defense as much as possible.
Bang-dang——!
"Still missed!
David Lee's jump shot was also sent, and Paul withstood the test of David Lee's mid-range shot.
The Warriors' offense was completely misfired.
At this time, the Warriors are in a critical situation, and there is a risk of being defeated in the first quarter..."
The Lakers got the ball and fought back.
Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and instead of continuing to play a steady ball, he dribbled the ball continuously from the top of the arc, suddenly raised the ball, raised his hand and attempted a three-point pull-up jumper...
Curry was caught off guard. Although he made a move to block the shot, it was just an afterthought. Paul had actually shot.
"Will there be one?
After the Lakers' offense fully opened up, Paul started to make waves..."
Bang-dang——!
Basketball, the iron misses.
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with what Lu Xun said. If you try it, you will really die.
"The Warriors dodged a bullet.
If Paul hits a three-pointer, the point difference will be double digits.
However, Paul does not choose to play steady ball, which means he does not regard the Warriors as a living team..."
Moreover, the Warriors really don't look like they will survive.
Next, the Warriors' offense still failed to open up the situation.
Bang-dang——!
David Lee continues to test Paul's 183-day loss.
The opportunity must have come out, but it's a pity that the shot will be shot, and it will only linger outside. What's going on?
…
Bang-dang——!
The first batch of fruit trays didn't work, so the Warriors replaced them with a new batch.
However, Carl Landry, who came on as a substitute, also failed to hit his mid-range shot.
They also used mid-range shots to test Paul, and he actually had the same character as David Lee, making only 1 of 4 shots.
Curry made 2 of 5 shots, which was just a decent start.
Thompson made 1 of 3 shots, Bogut made 1 of 2 shots...
After the first quarter, the Warriors failed to shoot themselves, with a score of 23 to 36. They were defeated by the Lakers in the first quarter and fell behind by 13 points.
Su Bei made 4 of 7 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist in a single quarter. His performance was quite acceptable.
After all, the opponent was either Curry or a rookie named Barnes. It cannot be said to be similar to the question of giving points, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
Kobe made 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points, 2 assists, and 1 rebound, which was also quite acceptable.
Thompson is just a second-year rookie, not a top 3D star, so what can he do to top him?
