Chapter 235 The Second Battle of the Brave Horse (2)
The Spurs also made detailed arrangements before the game.
But no matter how good the layout is, it can't do anything in the face of absolute strength.
Test Curry's strength, switch defense and let him shoot?
It turns out that Curry's shooting is amazing, and switching defenses is absolutely not possible.
Double-team Curry and prevent him from shooting?
But Curry's vision for passing the ball is very good, and he constantly finds open teammates.
The Warriors' perimeter players are not for nothing!
You can't lose the inside line, so you stay in the penalty area?
In that case, the Warriors will throw you into doubting your life!
Doesn't defending the perimeter give the Warriors a three-point chance?
You are out and there is no one in the penalty area. Do you really think that Curry, Azubuike, Lopez and others can't break through and can't score points at the basket?
You can't defend yourself even if you fight hard.
Not enough offensive firepower.
With such a comparison of strengths, the results can be imagined.
The starters played a lot of time in the third quarter, and both teams came on the bench in the fourth quarter.
Livingston, DeAndre Jordan and others couldn't hold it in for a long time, and they were full of firepower as soon as they started.
Leading by a big score, with the home crowd cheering, this is a good time to earn performance!
The game lasted 5 minutes, and the score difference had reached 30 points.
Bobo called a pause helplessly.
There is no need to start the game, it is better to conserve your energy and prepare for the next battle.
Due to age issues, the Spurs are at a disadvantage physically.
There is a tacit understanding. After the timeout, both teams played at the end of the bench.
The game also entered garbage time.
In the end, when the referee blew the final whistle, the score was fixed at 131:102.
Warriors win by 29 points!
Curry's first playoff win!
Deng Fang’s first playoff victory in his coaching career!
Oracle Arena was also very happy and lively.
Curry made 9 three-pointers in this game, scored 42 points, 7 assists, and 9 rebounds!
He even ranks first in the team in rebounds!
This defender is a bit unprofessional...
…
During the post-match interview time, the reporters waited for a long time, and finally Deng Fang came:
"You said before the game that you could win this game by at least 20 points. Why are you so confident?"
"Strength!" Deng Fang answered simply: "Our strength is far higher than that of the Spurs. 20 points is a conservative estimate. I am very low-key!"
Well, you are very low-key!
We are all fools!
"Where did you win this game?"
"Curry!" Deng Fang answered simply: "The Spurs can't solve Curry's problem. This is the biggest reason why they lost."
"Duncan and Lopez have similar statistics. Who is the better player?"
"Duncan's defense is better, Lopez's offense is stronger, and it is more in line with the trend of modern offense!" Deng Fang replied: "If I were to choose, I would definitely choose Lopez, he is more suitable for Curry."
"Does that mean Duncan is not as good as Lopez?"
"That's true for warriors!"
"James said you can't even pass the Spurs level. What do you think of this?"
"That's because James is afraid of being beaten by the Spurs!" Deng Fang replied: "James will leave the Cavaliers this summer, but he will never come to the West. Why? Because he is afraid of being beaten! But please remember,
We are not the Cavaliers, and Curry is not James!"
Yes, the reporters are very satisfied. Only answers like this are strong enough and worthy of writing.
"How is Curry's performance?"
"Okay, normal operation."
"Many people say you chose the Spurs on purpose, is that true?"
"Yes!" Deng Fang answered simply.
Wow, there is such an answer!
If the Spurs heard this... no, the Spurs would definitely hear it, how sad they would be!
"Why did you choose the Spurs? The Spurs have been the strongest team in the Western Conference for so many years!"
"Precisely because the Spurs are so powerful, defeating them will give you a greater sense of accomplishment!" Deng Fang replied with a slight smile: "I don't want people to say that our road to the championship is too easy!"
The reporters were speechless after hearing Deng Fang's words.
Yes, you said it yourself that the Spurs are great. Did Deng Fang make a mistake in choosing the Spurs?
Deng Fang shrugged with disdain.
Baby, fight with me?
Is it so easy to trick me?
"But I think the Thunder are more difficult to deal with. Do you think so too?" There are always reporters who are unwilling to give in and want to continue to use Deng Fang's words.
"Yes, I think so too." Deng Fang chuckled and asked: "If we were playing against the Thunder, you would ask the same question, right?"
The reporter who asked the question laughed awkwardly and did not answer.
Deng Fang continued: "We have the first record in the league. It is our right to choose which team to fight as our opponent! If you don't accept it, go and get the first record!"
"Actually, no matter which team you choose as your opponent, there will be people who will question it. In that case, why not choose an opponent that you think is easy to beat?" Deng Fang shrugged and explained: "If you don't leave Tongtian Avenue, you have to do it.
Let’s walk on the single-plank bridge. If we do this, you’ll say I’m stupid, right?”
The reporters nodded, Deng Fang was right.
…
Because Deng Fang fulfilled his wild words before the game, the system gave Deng Fang 8 ability points!
Everything in the first round of the playoffs will be doubled!
The Warriors defeated the Spurs, and the Lakers, second in the Western Conference, also won.
But unlike the Warriors' victory, it was very difficult for the Lakers to win.
The two teams fought fiercely for four quarters, and in the end the Lakers won the game 87:79.
87 points overall!
The Warriors scored 108 points in three quarters!
But the Zen master is not stupid. It is not possible to run up and fight with Lei Lei. That is the stupidest way!
Durant, Westbrook, Jeff Green, Harden, Ibaka, the oldest is only 24 years old!
Everyone can run and jump and has outstanding physical talents!
Most of the Lakers are veterans: Kobe, Fisher, Gasol, Artest!
The oldest Fisher is 36 years old!
Let Fisher guard Westbrook?
After several full-court turns and runs, Fisher would be unable to keep up!
When people age, their legs age first, and when people age, their muscles and bones do not rely on their strength. The old saying is true.
In addition to their age, there is another reason, and that is the Lakers' advantage in the paint.
Kobe is great, but in terms of scoring ability alone, Durant is no longer inferior to Kobe!
This is a polite statement. In fact, Durant has more scoring methods than Kobe and it is easier.
There's nothing I can do about it, my height and wingspan are just there!
He is also 10 years younger!
Westbrook and Harden are also much better than Fisher and Shannon Brown.
The Lakers' interior twin towers of Gasol and Bynum are much better than the Thunder.
The Lakers guarded Westbrook with Kobe Bryant, and the Lakers guarded Durant with Artest.
These two big locks can very well defend against the Thunder's two arrow figures.
Gasol and Bynum guarded the inside and did not give the Thunder a chance to break through.
On the offensive end, the Lakers kept giving the ball to the Twin Towers and focused on the Thunder's inside play.
Just like the Spurs, it doesn't matter if you can't score!
It’s fine if I don’t score, but you can’t play fast break!
Under this offensive and defensive concept, the two teams fought hand-to-hand throughout the game.
The Thunder only scored 13 points in the first quarter!
That's the Thunder with Durant, Westbrook, and Harden!
This shows how fiercely the two teams fought!
This kind of rhythm is good for the Lakers.
In the end, the Lakers also won.
This game also allowed more people to see the horror of the young Thunder.
Their opponents are the defending champions!
Even the Lakers, who have a strong lineup and rich experience, can compete with the Thunder to this point, which shows how difficult the Thunder are.
Because of this, everyone began to praise Deng Fang's choice.
Even if you win against Thunder, you still have to shed a layer of skin!
