Of course, if the opponent uses box-1 tactics and doesn't give Curry any chance to make a shot, then Curry can't do anything.
However, facing this warrior, the opponent would not dare to do this.
Because Deng Fang put a bunch of shooters outside for Curry!
If you dare to flank, your teammates will punish you severely with precise shooting!
Seeing that Curry's touch was back, Deng Fang finally felt relieved.
This game is no problem.
The Lakers originally thought that without Lopez, the Warriors would be empty inside, and they would use the twin towers to punish the Warriors.
What I didn't expect was that Jordan's interior defense was better than Lopez's.
On the other hand, the positioning of the Splash Brothers in the simplified version of the Warriors can give the Twin Towers a headache.
Curry and Belinelli kept weaving through the crowd, making Bynum and Gasol miserable.
Jordan's tall body blocked Fisher, and Curry immediately ran to the three-point line. I asked you, can Bynum come out to defend?
Curry will vote if he doesn’t get out!
come out?
I will vote if I come out!
It takes a lot of energy to rush in and you can easily get injured. It's much easier to shoot just by feinting to collect the ball!
You can’t keep up with me anyway!
It is true that the small man cannot compete with the big man when it comes to the inside, but conversely, the big man cannot keep up with the small man when it comes to the outside.
Especially at that time in 2009.
Later, due to the existence of Curry, the Warriors' world-famous "Death Five" appeared, and every team in the league eliminated the slow-moving inside players.
In 2009, dark and tough centers were the mainstream.
As long as you have a tall body, thick skin and thick flesh, and are tough enough on the defensive end, you can get a good salary in the league.
Under the same conditions, the annual salary of a center is always higher than that of other positions.
This is also one of the reasons why Oden was able to overtake Durant and become the No. 1 pick.
As for the shortcomings of being slow, being unable to switch to the perimeter, and not being able to shoot, it was not a problem in 2009!
Anyway, it’s impossible to shoot casually from outside!
You may not win even if you vote!
If you delay for a moment, I will return to my seat. So what if I give you a second of free time?
This idea was indeed correct before, but it changed after Curry appeared!
Do you dare to give me a second of free time?
Too polite!
I only need 0.3 seconds!
Do you think I dare not vote?
Hahaha, so funny!
Do you think I can't kill you by shooting?
Hahaha, why did you die before I finished laughing?
The game only lasted 3 minutes, and Curry made 3 three-pointers!
Belinelli on the other side also made two three-pointers!
The score difference between the two teams widened instantly.
After another two minutes of play, the Lakers still couldn't prevent Curry and Belinelli's off-ball movement.
In desperation, Jackson had to call a timeout and replaced Bynum.
The Lakers' defense has improved a lot since replacing Shannon Brown.
However, the Lakers' interior defense also dropped a lot as a result.
DeAndre Jordan and others passed the ball to Curry. Belinelli kept cutting in after covering the screen. Prince passed the ball to Curry and the two who ran away, and then threw the ball to DeAndre Jordan under the basket.
DeAndre Jordan kept wreaking havoc in the Lakers penalty area.
Gasol's defense is still good, but it is still difficult to face a bouncing man like Jordan.
What's more, the Warriors' perimeter draws a lot of Gasol's attention.
There is another reason why the Lakers did not do well defensively today, and that is Artest's absence.
Artest is the Lakers' best defender on the outside. With his strength, it's no problem to switch inside defense.
With Artest here, even if the Lakers have holes on the defensive end, there will always be someone who can make up for it.
However, Artest is absent today due to injury, which has a great impact on the Lakers' defense.
Of course, even if Artest is here, with Curry's touch, it will be difficult for the Lakers to guard him.
The Warriors' offense is very smooth and they also do well on the defensive end.
Before the game, Deng Fang had clearly assigned tasks to everyone.
If Bynum were to single out Jordan, double team him.
His passing isn't great anyway.
If Gasol plays Jordan alone, then let him do whatever he wants.
Jordan only needs to do one thing well, that is, don't jump!
Straighten your arms, no matter how you fake, I just won't jump!
If you can throw the ball in through me, then I'll admit it!
With Jordan's height and wingspan, as long as he doesn't get knocked away, it's not easy for Gasol to score the ball easily.
As for Kobe, just like the last game, he still defended against sudden shots.
Laga Bell is not here, and it is Azubuike who is guarding Kobe.
Azubuike is not as experienced as Lagabel, but physically he is definitely much better than Lagabel.
7 years younger!
If the pick-and-roll puts Curry or Belinelli in front of him, others will come over to help defend.
The Lakers' perimeter isn't that good anyway.
Even Fisher, who is the most reliable from outside, this year's three-point shooting percentage is just over 30%.
This is the same as Lopez, who has the lowest three-point shooting percentage of the Warriors!
There are only three players on the Warriors who can't shoot three-pointers: DeAndre Jordan, Turiaf and Livingston.
Among all those who can shoot three-pointers, Lopez has the lowest three-point shooting percentage, just over 30%.
As for Kobe, he is not as good as Lopez!
Some people may ask: Why do we always talk about three-pointers? Are three-pointers so important?
Yes, quite important!
If your team doesn't have three-pointers, or its three-pointers are inaccurate, then your opponent will dare to double-team your scorer.
You can’t make the shot anyway!
No matter outside or inside, no matter how powerful the scorer is, he still needs a certain amount of operating space!
You can get it one on one, but what about one on two?
There are very few people who can put the ball into the basket easily in a one-on-one situation.
Even if Kobe often shoots the ball against two defenders, it's usually because the opponent didn't double-team in time, there were loopholes, or the two players passed him one after another.
If you really want the opponent to double-team you with two people as soon as you get the ball, and they are very decisive and prepared, then you have only one choice, and that is to pass the ball!
We are all human beings. You have two hands and others have four. If you dare to dribble when two people double-team you, just wait for it to be cut off!
Who can enter the NBA without two skills?
No matter how poor a player's physical condition is, he is still several times better than ordinary people!
So three points are very important.
Because it creates space for your team.
Only with space can your tactics be developed.
Otherwise, there is only one way, rely on Super Star to duel.
Even if you want your super giant to duel, you still have to look at his touch!
Because your team has no space, it is difficult for the super giants to break into the paint, so they can only force shots.
In short, because the Lakers' perimeter was inaccurate and the Warriors' double attack was very decisive, Kobe's game was very uncomfortable.
You can shoot if you want, three points is fine, two points will give you some interference.
There's no way to break in!
The bad news for the Lakers is that Kobe was not feeling well today.
What makes the Zen master even more depressed is that although Kobe repeatedly failed to make a shot, he still had sex with him!
