Chapter 303 The Second Battle of the Western Finals (7)
Of course, Kobe's offensive strength is still quite strong.
Even against different defenders, Kobe was still able to score.
However, scoring and scoring are also different.
Your shots are all difficult to shoot backwards, so your hit rate is definitely not high!
Most of the Warriors' shots are open shots, and the shooting percentage is of course much higher!
Everyone worked hard on the offensive end and the pace was fast.
After a while, the first quarter was over, and the score became 47:26!
The Warriors lead by 21 points!
Scored 47 points in the first quarter, what a terrifying firepower!
This is often a half-time score for many teams in the East!
Kobe felt good, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, making 3 of 5 three-pointers and hitting 3 three-pointers!
Curry only had three shots in the opening minute, and was flanked by the Lakers.
Even so, Curry scored 10 points and sent 6 assists in a single quarter!
The second quarter of the game started quickly.
Kobe Bryant, Gasol and Fisher played the entire quarter, and it was time to take a break.
The Lakers will play Jordan Farmar, Shannon Brown, Artest, Odom and Bynum.
This is a rarely used lineup.
There was no other way. We fell behind too much in the first quarter. In order to chase points, Zen Master disrupted the pre-game plan. Regular rotation was impossible.
The Warriors also have a full bench lineup: Livingston, Belinelli, Anthony Morrow, Radmanovic and DeAndre Jordan.
In terms of personal strength alone, the lineups of the two teams are about the same.
However, the Warriors' bench has played together for a season and has a good understanding of each other.
And the Warriors' lineup is also more reasonable.
The three outside shooters Belinelli, Anthony Morrow and Radmanovic were responsible for opening up space outside, while Livingston and DeAndre Jordan played pick-and-rolls at the free throw line. The Lakers were very difficult to defend.
There are shooters on the outside, and the Lakers don't dare to help defend.
Jordan has excellent athletic ability and very strong alley-oop ability.
Livingston's mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll is very reliable, and his shooting percentage is very high as long as there is an opening.
In order to limit the Warriors' pick-and-roll, the Lakers could only use Artest to defend Livingston.
But even Artest was very annoyed when facing DeAndre Jordan after switching defenses.
On the other hand, the Lakers' offensive lineup is very simple.
Without Kobe Bryant and Gasol, the Lakers would have to hand the ball to Bynum in the paint.
Facing other insiders, Bynum can still dominate in the penalty area with his physical advantage, but not against DeAndre Jordan.
Jordan is not disadvantaged by his height, and his weight is only a little less than Bynum. The two are about the same age, and Bynum's rough inside singles skills, the Warriors are not disadvantaged at all by this point.
In five attempts, Bynum only made one hook shot.
Such efficiency is definitely not possible.
Bynum couldn't score, and Jordan Farmar couldn't score under Livingston's defense. The Lakers had to rely on Artest's strong play to survive.
After 4 minutes of the second quarter, the point difference was widened by another 5 points!
The Warriors lead by 26 points!
The Zen master had no choice but to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the Lakers returned to the starting lineup.
The difference is that Vujacic replaced Odom.
Odom's three-point shooting is so bad that the Warriors barely care about him outside the three-point line!
The Warriors also returned to the starting lineup.
The Lakers continued to flank Curry, but the Warriors still let Artest go.
In order to chase points, the Lakers made more and more moves.
Of course, the Warriors were not to be outdone, especially Laga Bell, who became more and more ruthless against Kobe.
Who is afraid of whom?
We are injured, including Deng Fang, what about you?
Even if Deng Fang treats you, it will still cost a lot of money!
We are free!
What's more, it's not certain whether Deng Fang will treat you or not!
The competition became more and more intense, and people kept falling to the ground.
The greater the intensity, the lower the shooting percentage.
It also became difficult for both teams to score.
However, as the Lakers double-teamed Curry, the Warriors still had many open shooting opportunities.
On the contrary, many of Kobe's shots were difficult fadeaways. With Prince's help in defense, Kobe didn't have many free throw opportunities.
The point difference is still slowly widening.
The Zen master was also helpless. Each of his subordinates had their own problems, and he had no choice.
What can be attacked cannot be defended, and what can be defended cannot be attacked!
If you want to defend, you won’t be able to attack; if you want to attack, you won’t be able to defend!
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
Soon, the first half of the game was over, and the score became 78:50!
The Warriors led by 28 points.
The Lakers scored 50 points at halftime, which was a lot, but they allowed the Warriors to score 78 points!
I can't help it!
Should we double-team Curry?
want!
necessary!
But double-teaming Curry will reveal openings.
No matter how you defend, you still can't pass the ball as fast as you do!
There is no way around it.
What's more, in order to attack, the Lakers also brought in defensive colanders Vujacic and Jordan Farmar.
What can be defended cannot be attacked, and what can be attacked cannot be defended. This is the Lakers' biggest worry.
Although they scored 78 points at halftime, the Warriors still scored 10 points less than the previous game.
The score at halftime of the last game was 88:59!
Today's halftime score is 78:50!
After the beating in the last game, the Lakers still showed some improvement on the defensive end.
However, the Lakers also paid a price for their defense, and they also scored 9 points less.
Kobe's performance was still outstanding, scoring another 14 points in the second quarter.
As long as there are no double teams, it is impossible to completely restrict Kobe with a little help defense.
But Deng Fang didn't care either.
It is impossible to completely guard against superstars!
Just try to limit Kobe as much as possible. As long as his shooting percentage is average, that's enough!
The game of basketball is about who can score more points!
As long as my scoring efficiency is high!
Kobe played well and Curry was equally impressive.
Although he was constantly double-teamed, Curry still got 4 shooting opportunities in the second quarter.
When the Warriors have an open shooting opportunity from outside, the Lakers have to pounce, right?
You rush over, and they pass the ball. There is another open space. You have to cover it, right?
Those who flank Curry can't guard him all the time!
If you still stare at someone who doesn't have the ball in his hand, how much hatred would you have to bear!
The Warriors pass three passes and two down, and the open space will always fall into Curry's hands.
There is no way around it!
You can't just let other Warriors players take random shots just to prevent Curry from taking a shot!
These teammates of Curry were all carefully selected by Deng Fang, and they are all capable of both offense and defense!
Laga Bell, Azubuike and Prince's three-pointers are much more reliable than Artest and Odom!
Open three-pointers were too easy for Curry. In 4 attempts, Curry hit 3!
Curry scored 9 points and 5 assists in a single quarter!
11 assists in the half!
Although he didn't score as many points as Kobe, his 11 assists were equally impressive.
It was under Curry's leadership that the Warriors scored 78 points in halftime!
