No matter what Zen Master thinks, the fact is that when Curry surges, the Lakers look dangerous.
Let Curry open up and the game is over.
This is a fact recognized by almost all head coaches in later generations.
This is also the reason why Tyronn Luening in later generations would let Durant go to the basket for a dunk, but would not let Curry shoot a three-pointer!
Durant can be released, but Curry must die!
After all, the Zen master is also an old martial artist, and he has already seen some clues.
After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Bynum and replaced him with Odom.
There is no way, two long men on the court have too much impact on the defense.
The Lakers' lineup is actually composed of one senior and four juniors.
I'm forced, I have no choice, I can't prevent it!
However, Deng Fang had already reached this point and replaced Curry with Livingston and DeAndre Jordan.
The Tongren Iron Cable Formation is online again!
The shortest one on the Warriors court is about two meters, and everyone has speed and height!
This lineup is a little worse on the offensive end, but the defensive end is definitely the top in the league!
Deng Fang spent a lot of time on this lineup.
Of course, the rewards are also good.
Under the high-intensity defense of the Warriors lineup, the Lakers' offense becomes increasingly difficult.
Jordan defended Gasol better than Lopez, and the Warriors' double attack was more rapid.
After all, there is no defensive weakness, and everyone can switch to the basket and outside.
Even Jordan is fast enough to delay and then return to the penalty area.
Gasol couldn't play in the paint at all, so he could only rely on Kobe to single out Laga Bell to stay alive.
Fortunately, Kobe felt good today. After hitting several mid-range shots in a row, the score between the two teams was narrowed.
At the end of the first quarter, the score became 39:33!
The Lakers recovered 4 points.
In the second quarter, the Lakers went on the bench, with Bynum at center, Odom at power forward, and Shannon Brown, Jordan Farmar and Vujacic at the back.
There was no way, Kobe, Fisher and others played the entire first quarter and had to take a break.
The main player of this Lakers lineup is Bynum.
But Bynum's presence on the court means that the Lakers' center cannot switch to guard the perimeter.
Deng Fang had already reached this point, and he replaced Curry in advance.
The Warriors are led by Curry, and the other four are Lopez, Radmanovic, Anthony Morrow and Belinelli.
The Lakers' starting lineup is very capable of scoring, but their bench is average.
Shannon Brown has good physical fitness, but he relies more on breakthroughs and counterattacks, and his shooting is average.
Jordan Farmar shoots well, but his physical fitness is average and it is difficult to tear apart the Warriors' defense.
Vujacic’s previous three-pointers were quite accurate.
As a shooter, most teams dare not let him go easily.
But Vujacic's three-point shooting percentage this season is less than 30%.
This hit rate is far from passing.
Of course, at the beginning of the season, many people didn't know this.
But Deng Fang knew it!
Deng Fangke is a loyal NBA fan and is very familiar with the important players of the major teams over the years.
Prevent him from shooting!
There is no need to guard Vujacic this season!
As for Odom, he is not as good as Vujacic!
Vujacic was very accurate in the past, and he was also good in the following seasons. Only this season his three-point shooting rate is very low.
Odom is just the opposite. His rookie season and 2005-06 season were good, and the 10-11 season was also pretty good. His three-point shooting percentage in other seasons was less than 30%.
Of course, a low shooting percentage during the season does not mean that he will miss a shot in today's game.
But that is a small probability event!
If you are afraid of small-probability events, then there is no need to go out!
What if I get hit by a car one day?
By the way, not even at home, there might be an earthquake or a plane crash...
In short, Shannon Brown, Vujacic and Odom can all be ignored from beyond the three-point line.
Even if it's defense, it only needs to be interfered with.
What do the players who defend them focus on?
Help defend against flanking attacks!
It's a bit difficult for Lopez to defend Bynum alone, but it doesn't matter, the Warriors have a double attack to help defend.
Your passing by Bynum isn't very good anyway!
Even if it comes out, the Lakers can't make a shot from the outside!
As long as you dribble the ball, we will double attack!
The Warriors' double attack was very resolute, and Bynum was unable to catch the ball inside to complete the offense.
Not only that, because of his limited passing ability, Bynum also made several mistakes!
The Lakers can only score by relying on mid-range shots from Farmar and Bynum's pick-and-roll.
Occasionally, Bynum passes a good ball, and Vujacic can also steal a three-pointer.
But this kind of scoring can only be regarded as piecemeal, and scoring is very slow.
The Lakers struggled to score.
The Warriors are different.
The Lakers' starting defense is very good, but the bench is average.
Especially against the combination of Curry and Lopez.
It can be said that the combination of Curry and Lopez is for traditional centers like Bynum.
Curry kept picking and rolling with Lopez, and Bynum couldn't get out at all.
He didn't want to come out either.
Of course, there is no use coming out.
Previously, Fisher defended Curry. Due to his rich experience and tough style, he still had some interference with Curry.
The current Jordan Farmar is just a little bit worse.
Lopez blocked him with one block.
There is often no one in front of Curry.
So what are you waiting for?
Just vote!
A three pointer!
Two three points!
Three three points!
…
In two minutes, Curry made five three-pointers and scored three!
Coupled with the fact that Belinelli made two three-pointers without the ball, the score suddenly became 54:41!
The Warriors' lead reached double digits.
Jackson Jackson had to call another timeout.
"Whoever can score can score next, but we can't let Curry score again!" The Zen master said to the generals on the bench with a gloomy face.
I have to say that the Zen master still has two brushes.
It took him more than one quarter to figure out that the leader of the Warriors was Curry.
I would rather let others stab me to death under the basket than let Curry go from beyond the three-point line!
After the timeout, Jackson replaced Kobe.
This was Kobe's initiative.
With Kobe's competitive spirit, he couldn't stand a rookie scoring so much in front of him!
In just over one quarter, Curry scored 26 points!
This is the time to explode!
We are the defending champions!
I am the first person in the league!
I don't even look down on James, let alone a skinny rookie!
If you want to act wild in front of me, you are still young!
As soon as Kobe came back, the Lakers' offense became much smoother.
In fact, it wasn't that smooth, but Kobe went crazy.
Seeing Kobe's return, Deng Fang also replaced Laga Bell.
If you come, I will come!
We are enemies!
However, once Kobe gets aggressive, even Laga Bell will have a hard time guarding him.
Three threats, direct mid-range shot!
Dribbling and sudden stop for a mid-range shot!
The three threats broke through to the basket and scored!
Break through and draw a foul!
Even if the rest of the Warriors paid attention to helping defend, Kobe kept scoring.
There is no way, Kobe feels very good today.
For a superstar, if he has a good touch, there is no way to guard against him!
