Chapter 311 The Third Battle of the Western Finals (6)
After coming off the bench and playing 2 minutes, the Lakers evened the point difference.
This is the result of the extraordinary performance of the Warriors' bench.
There is no way, the defense of Belinelli, Anthony Morrow and Radmanovic is really not good.
These three have always been shooters who open up space, and their athletic abilities are average.
Deng Fang immediately called a timeout.
The Twin Towers are not scary, the scary thing is that no one can guard Kobe.
Deng Fang replaced Azubuike and Laga Bell.
Lagabell was specifically against Kobe, while Azubuike was against Artest.
This way the defensive end won't suffer too much.
The game continues.
After replacing two strong defensive players, the Warriors also changed their defensive methods and began to attack frantically.
We have no other advantage except that we are physically fit!
Fisher, Kobe and Artest have been on the court since the first quarter. Even men as big as Gasol and Bynum can't be fast.
Of course, a flanking attack also requires a strategy, and Azubuike was the one to attack from the flank every time.
Because he was guarding Artest.
Azubuike is young and strong, fast enough, and defensive enough. He is the most suitable to attack from a double flank.
And the only player in the Lakers lineup who is unreliable on the outside is Artest.
This starting lineup of the Lakers has worked together for many years and has a good understanding of each other.
Whoever Radmanovic guards, the Lakers will put the ball in the hands of whomever.
The only defensive weakness among the five Warriors on the court is Radmanovic.
In this case, of course the Lakers must take advantage of it.
Regardless of whether it is impossible for Radmanovic to defend Gasol or Bynum alone, the Warriors can only attack from a double attack.
As soon as the Warriors double-attacked, the Lakers' inside line passed the ball out.
Artest also got a lot of open shots.
The bad news for the Warriors is that Artest felt good today.
He shot 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, and Artest scored 3 in total!
This kind of shooting rate is like eating dumplings during the New Year for Artest!
The Lakers also went ahead by 5 points.
Soon, the first quarter was over, and the score became 34:39!
During the substitute period, the Lakers opened up both the inside and outside lines.
But Deng Fang was not in a hurry.
No matter how good your lineup is, you still need to rest, right?
If you have the ability, you can keep Kobe and others from resting!
In that case, I think you are awesome!
Of course, even if you really don't let Kobe rest, I'm not afraid!
Kobe is not terrible like that!
Kobe is also a human being, and playing a whole quarter with such intensity is also tiring!
A tired star is worse than a useful role player!
As expected, when the game started in the second quarter, Kobe chose to rest.
Also resting are Fisher and Artest.
The Lakers are coming up with Jordan Farmar, Vujacic, Odom, Gasol and Bynum.
The effect of Twin Towers is good, so keep using it.
Of course, the more important thing is that Kobe is not on the court.
It is unrealistic to let Farmar take charge of the overall situation and direct the attack.
Just hand the ball to the inside, grind down the position, hold on for a while, and wait until Kobe comes back.
To put it bluntly, it is to give Kobe a little more time to recover his physical fitness.
The Zen master thought well, but he forgot that the warrior had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
You went up to the Twin Towers just now, but I didn’t go up to the Twin Towers to confront you. Do you think I won’t go up now?
Do you think I'm stupid?
I let Curry and Lopez rest down there for so long, and this is the time they were waiting for!
The Warriors replaced Curry, Belinelli, Prince, DeAndre Jordan and Gasol.
Belinelli only played 2 minutes in the first quarter before being replaced by Deng Fang.
There is nothing wrong with his physical fitness.
This is what Deng Fang was looking for.
You use Twin Towers, so do I!
I have the simplified version of Splash Brothers, do you have it?
no?
Then just wait to be shot to death!
Not surprisingly, once the Warriors lineup came on board, the Lakers' defense immediately collapsed.
You know, even the Lakers starting lineup with Kobe, Fisher and Artest on the court couldn't guard against this lineup of the Warriors!
As long as the Lakers dare to go to the Twin Towers, the Warriors' lineup can kill the Lakers!
What's more, now they are replaced by Farmar, Vujacic and Odom!
The Lakers' twin towers immediately lost their advantage in the paint.
Bynum couldn't score against DeAndre Jordan, and it wasn't very efficient for Lopez to post up Lopez.
Although the offensive end is not very efficient, the Lakers can barely maintain it.
The defensive end is completely useless.
Curry and Belinelli kept running back and forth, and Lopez and Jordan kept covering the two.
You want a post-up shot in the paint, we're going to move and play!
The Lakers simply couldn't guard against the Warriors' off-ball tactics.
Bynum and Gasol had been playing for more than 5 minutes, and they were already a little tired. Now they had to chase the small guard again, and both of them were in agony.
The inside can't catch up, and the Lakers' outside is even less capable.
Farmar and Vujacic have defensive holes and are not at the same level as Kobe and Fisher.
You know, with the cover of Jordan and Lopez, neither Kobe nor Fisher can catch up with Curry and Belinelli!
Curry and Belinelli continued to get open opportunities outside the three-point line, and the shots they made were so exciting!
In just 3 minutes, Curry had 4 three-point opportunities, and Belinelli also had 3!
After scoring 4 out of 7 shots, the Warriors immediately overtook the score!
The Zen master had no choice but to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the Lakers changed back to their starting lineup.
The Lakers' small lineup was effective against the Warriors' twin-tower off-ball tactics.
Everyone can switch defenses, and everyone is very fast.
Curry and Belinelli's outside opportunities suddenly ran out.
But the Warriors' lineup is not limited to perimeter players.
The Lakers pursued the defense very tightly, switching defenses every time, and the Warriors began to pass the ball inside!
Whether it's Lopez or Jordan, or whether they face Fisher, Vujacic or Kobe in the penalty area, both of them have an absolute advantage!
Every time Jordan and Lopez pass the screen, they move inside.
Prince didn't think anything and just threw the ball into the sky!
We won’t grind with you underground, just play it directly!
If they want to stop Jordan and Lopez's alley-oops, the Lakers have no choice but to foul!
Fortunately, Jordan's free throw shooting is average.
The Warriors' scoring momentum also slowed down.
However, the Lakers also paid the price with fouls.
Before the second quarter was over, Fisher and Vujacic both committed 4 fouls!
Fortunately, against the Warriors' twin-tower lineup, the Lakers still have no problem on the offensive end.
Four of the five players on the Lakers court can shoot three-pointers, and Odom also has the ability to hold the ball.
The Warriors' twin towers are a bit difficult to defend.
The second quarter lasted another five minutes, and Deng Fang called a timeout.
The score became 54:52, and the Warriors led by 2 points.
After the timeout, the Warriors returned to their starting lineup.
Azubuike and Laga Bell replaced Belinelli and DeAndre Jordan.
