Chapter 300 The Second Battle of the Western Finals (4)
Because Curry's shooting threat was too great, Kobe did not dare to go around Lopez.
However, the quality of Lopez's cover is still quite high, and it also takes time to squeeze through.
If Lopez goes outside the three-point line, the Lakers will probably let him shoot.
Although Lopez's three-point shooting percentage is 35%, which is above the average, it is still the lowest among the Warriors.
Rather than letting Curry shoot three-pointers, the Lakers will definitely choose to focus on Lopez.
But seeing the Lakers using this lineup, Lopez stopped going beyond the three-point line.
If you use a small lineup and play one big and four small, then I won’t go to the basket!
Gasol comes out to defend Curry, and Lopez is a giant when he comes to the basket, no one can defend him!
The only way to prevent Lopez from getting to the basket is to switch defenses or delay the attack.
The Lakers chose to switch defense.
There is no way, Curry is not Nash, so there is no room for him to take action!
Against the Suns, Nash and Stoudemire also often played pick-and-rolls.
Different from Curry, although Nash is also very accurate in three-pointers, his shooting speed is not as fast as Curry. In addition, Nash is a traditional point guard and always puts passing first.
Therefore, after the pick-and-roll, Nash always walks inside, attracting the center to come up, and then passes the ball to Stoudemire or an open teammate down the line.
This is indeed more reasonable, but the Lakers' defense is also relatively easier.
Anyway, you rarely shoot pull-up three-pointers. At most, you shoot from mid-range, so I'll wait for you!
When you get to the inside, help defend and make up for the position!
But Curry and Nash are completely different!
If Gasol dares to come out, Curry will shoot if he raises his hand!
Giving me some space is an insult!
If you insult me, I will shoot you to death!
What? You came out?
I want to cum even after I come out!
If a big man doesn't stay inside, what will he do outside?
Aren't you insulting me by letting a big man hang out in front of me?!
If you insult me, I will shoot you to death!
Curry's shooting speed is much faster than Nash, and his shooting rate when driving to the basket is also higher.
Coupled with his youth and speed, Curry is more of a threat than Nash!
The Lakers chose to switch defense mainly because they felt that Gasol was fast enough. Another point was that Gasol's physical fitness was also good enough at the beginning of the game.
But no matter how fast the insider is, he is still an insider!
Hayes of the Rockets is not as tall as Kobe, but he plays center and his speed is not much faster than Gasol!
The first round of the game was the Warriors' pick-and-roll. Lopez blocked Kobe and then took Kobe down the inside. Gasol came up to guard Curry.
Gasol is not slow and changes defense very resolutely, but he still underestimated the speed of Curry's shot!
Lopez just blocked Kobe, and before he could turn around, Curry raised his hand and shot!
Gasol grabbed the ball quickly and stood not far in front of Curry with his arms raised high.
The basketball flew past Gasol's fingertips and went straight to the basket!
Gasol realized it was a step too late and had no choice but to look back at the basket.
The basketball hits the net!
Gasol was very speechless.
When the pick-and-roll happens, don't you have to dribble the ball and take two steps to the side?
I've already come up, and I'm still stretching out my arms, so I have to show some respect, right?
Ignore my existence!
There is no way to vote directly!
You don’t play your cards according to the routine at all!
No matter what Gasol thought, Curry was already celebrating.
Shake your shoulders to cheer yourself up!
It was the Lakers' turn to attack. Kobe and Gasol were in a pick-and-roll. Taking advantage of Lopez's inability to catch up, Kobe made a solid mid-range shot.
The Warriors were on the second pick-and-roll, and Gasol was on guard. Unexpectedly, Curry took a step back. When Gasol was attacking, Curry took two steps to the left and shot directly!
No matter how fast a big man is, he is still a big man!
No matter how tall the wooden pile is, it is still a wooden pile!
It's easy for Curry to fight the small one without the big one!
It is easier said than done to defeat the small and the big.
If you are not proficient in movement control technology, you will not be able to do it, and if your projection is inaccurate, you will not be able to do it!
It's ridiculous if the dribbling is inconsistent, and a prayer turns into a walk.
If the projection is inaccurate, your worshipers will not pay attention to it at all, which is even more ridiculous!
When most defenders mostly choose to break through and score the ball, Curry's feinting from outside the three-point line and shooting directly seems very unusual!
This was never allowed before!
If you dare to do this, the coach will replace you directly!
You are the point guard!
Point guard!
Point guard!
The point guard's responsibility is to pass the ball!
Pass the ball!
Pass the ball!
How can anyone be so wasteful?!
But they have all forgotten that the essence of basketball is to put the ball into the basket!
Whoever can put the basketball into the basket more efficiently will win the game!
No matter how good your defense is, you can't defend the opponent from a point, but if you can't put the ball into the basket, then you can't win the ball!
What is the purpose of passing the ball?
Find the open space and find teammates with better shooting opportunities!
But no matter how good the opportunity is, what should he do if he can't make the shot?
When a person's wave shot is more accurate than his teammates' open shots, why not let him wave the ball?
And the so-called waste investment is just what you think it is!
If you can't do it, you are a waste of money. Why should you say that others are also waste of money?
Curry's long-range three-pointers shot against people are 38%, which is more accurate than Lopez's open three-pointers. Why not let Curry take the shot?
In training, Curry's three-point shooting percentage was higher than Jordan's free throw shooting percentage. Can you say that he was deceived?
If you don’t use your ultimate move, wouldn’t you be a fool?
Curry's touch was obviously very good in this game, and his second three-pointer hit the net again!
Curry was born for big scenes. The more important the scene, the more exciting it will be!
Likewise, Kobe responded with a mid-range shot!
The Warriors' third pick-and-roll, Gasol stretched out his arm to avoid getting in front of Curry!
Even if you beat me to death, I won't let you vote!
The big man extended his defense to two steps beyond the three-point line and still stayed close to the defense. It's really hard work for Gasol!
But when a center defends like this, a defender trying to get past him is like walking on the street!
Curry bent over and lowered his head, speeding up and passing Gasol!
The one guarding Lopez under the basket has been replaced by Artest, and the two are wrestling and getting stuck!
Lopez wanted to lean on Artest for the ball, but Artest pressed his back against Lopez to prevent him from coming forward!
I have to say that Artest's power is indeed terrifying, he can even resist a big center twice.
Curry reached the penalty area in three or two steps and flew for a layup.
It was too late for Artest to jump up.
Kobe on the side reacted very quickly. He let go of Laga Bell and rushed over. He jumped up and made a big block.
Unexpectedly, Curry pulled the lever and switched the ball to his left hand, easily hitting the board!
Kobe's right hand just hit Curry's head!
Curry pulled the lever and put the basketball down from his head, then changed his hands on his chest, thus avoiding Kobe's block, but his head couldn't avoid it!
Kobe didn't come for Curry's head, but he had already charged, and he was very ruthless, with no intention of holding back.
In this case, stop?
dream!
We are enemies now!
The stadium is the battlefield!
It would be nice if I didn’t risk my life with you!
This kind of blocking will most likely be a foul!
If you are going to commit a crime, do it harshly!
I'll beat you so much that you won't dare to rush in next time!
