Chapter 325 The Fourth Battle of the Western Finals (5)
The Lakers need to play inside, the Warriors need to play fast!
As long as Bynum gets the ball inside, the Warriors will resolutely attack!
If the outside line is missed during a flanking attack, what should I do?
Don't be afraid, the Lakers have Odom on the court!
And a Shannon Brown!
Odom's three-pointers are not even 30%, and Shannon Brown is only a little better than Odom!
Toliver doesn't care about Odom beyond the three-point line!
No matter how much Bynum had the physical advantage, he didn't dare to dribble easily when being flanked by Tolliver and Radmanovic.
What's more, there is Anthony Moreau watching eagerly!
Just force you to give the ball to Odom and Shannon Brown!
These two can shoot three-pointers at will!
There is no way to get inside!
Odom and Shannon Brown shot two three-pointers, but missed one!
The Lakers had no choice but to give the ball to Bynum and force the ball inside.
Bynum is not a technical insider to begin with, his passing is mediocre, and he often makes mistakes when being flanked.
The Warriors took the opportunity to counterattack several times.
The Lakers' offense couldn't score, and the defense was even more annoyed.
Belinelli, Anthony Morrow, Tolliver and Radmanovic are all very accurate outsiders. The Lakers must stick to the defense and not dare to give these four players a chance to shoot.
This way, there will be a lot of room in the library!
What's more, Farmar is defending Curry!
Curry made two three-pointers in one minute!
One of them is a pull-up three-pointer in a fast break!
Curry's touch has been hot recently, and he will take action decisively if there is any space!
Knowing that Curry has good touch, Farmar had no choice but to stick to the defense.
But when Farmar got closer, Curry broke through to the inside and scored.
Anyway, Bynum is guarding Radmanovic near the three-point line!
He can't come back!
At Bynum's speed, even if Curry made two baskets, Bynum couldn't come back even once!
In just over three minutes, the Warriors went 12-0!
The Lakers didn't score a point!
Curry scored 10 points alone!
Two three-pointers, two layups.
The score became 28:18, and the Warriors led by 10 points!
The Lakers had no choice but to call a timeout.
After the timeout, Kobe, Artest, and Gasol returned.
The three of them, along with Farmar and Odom, formed a rare lineup.
There is no way, Fisher has to rest, and Vujacic has to play a lot of time.
The Warriors also replaced Azubuike, Laga Bell and Prince. The three of them, Curry and Radmanovic also formed a rare lineup.
If Lopez doesn't fight, that's all.
For the sake of space, Deng Fang was more willing to let Jordan rest for a while.
Comparing the lineups of the two teams, the Warriors have better court space and faster speed.
However, the Lakers have an advantage inside, and the Warriors' interior defense is not a small problem.
For this reason, the Warriors had no choice but to double-team Gasol.
Fortunately, with Odom on the court, the Warriors don't have to worry much when they double attack.
But soon the Lakers handed the ball over to Kobe.
If Gasol plays in isolation, the Warriors will attack from a double flank. How about Kobe Bryant's breakthrough?
Radmanovic's shot-blocking ability is almost zero!
Although the Warriors still left Odom open, the pick-and-roll between Kobe Bryant and Gasol made the Warriors very uncomfortable.
It won't be useful when it's moving and attacking from a flank.
The Lakers' scoring is much better, and the Warriors' scoring is not bad either.
Although Radmanovic cannot defend on the court, he can open up space for Curry!
On the offensive end, Radmanovic still plays a big role.
The Warriors' tactic is Curry's isolation!
We have four outside shooters and you dare not let any of them go, so let Curry play alone!
Jackson also expected this, so he asked Kobe to guard Curry.
Curry feels very good, and Kobe is very close to him.
Curry made a feint, Kobe shifted his center of gravity slightly forward, and Curry rushed over.
Since they all go to the outside to defend three-pointers, the Lakers are very empty inside.
Curry easily hit an empty basket.
The second time, Curry bowed to Buddha, and Kobe moved forward again.
There is no way, Curry's touch is hot, we must not let Curry shoot.
This is the death order given by the Zen Master before the game!
I would rather let Curry make a layup than let him shoot a three-pointer!
If Farmar can't defend himself, why can't I defend him?
Kobe defended with anger.
Of course, Curry's fake moves are also very realistic, and it's hard not to believe them.
Although Kobe chased him from behind, Curry avoided Kobe's block with a lever!
Two points again!
Curry prayed to Buddha for the third time, and Kobe jumped again!
Curry still chose to break through!
Kobe was also helpless.
Defense is always passive!
When the best defensive player meets the best offensive player, the defensive side will definitely suffer!
Why did Kobe jump?
The first is that Curry's three-point threat is too great and must be defended.
If it were any other player, Kobe might not be able to jump!
But the person in front of Kobe is Curry!
Curry feels hot!
How dare you not jump when Curry is posing for a shot at this time?
Wouldn't that be a fool!
Secondly, Kobe always wanted to block Curry!
Your greatest skill is the three-pointer. No matter how you fake it, you will still have to shoot the three-pointer in the end!
I have decided that you must vote!
One will not vote, two will not vote, three will not vote?
impossible!
As long as you shoot, I can cover you!
As long as I cover you, you will hesitate next time!
That way your hit rate will go down!
Then I can concentrate on preventing you from breaking through!
Attack and defense are psychological warfare and a game!
Let’s see who is more ruthless and dares to bet!
Besides, if I let you go for a layup, aren't you afraid of me blocking the shot?
With your speed and bounce, you can catch me even if you chase me from behind!
Of course, there is another reason, and that is that Kobe has some physical problems.
Kobe played the entire first quarter!
That was a whole section of wrestling with Laga Belle!
There is also the help of Prince and Azubuike!
After a three-minute break in the second quarter, Kobe came up again.
Not only does he have to shoulder a large part of the task on the offensive end, but Kobe also needs to defend Curry!
You must know that defense is a more physically demanding job!
If the opponent is a player with weaknesses and offensive skills, it's okay.
If your shooting is not good, I will prevent you from breaking through!
Your breakthrough threat is not great, so I will prevent you from shooting!
But when your opponent has no weaknesses, can make sudden shots, and is very accurate in three-pointers, you will have a headache.
After all, defense is passive!
With the same movement of collecting the ball, how do you know whether the opponent is shooting or feinting?
Do you dare not to jump?
As long as your offensive skills are good enough, one-on-one defense is impossible!
But the Lakers didn't dare to let others help defend, so Kobe could only defend alone.
Defense alone must be focused, and it is impossible to cover everything.
If your opponent is so easy to guard against, is he still a superstar?
How can it be!
So when Curry raises his hand, Kobe has to jump!
Even if you don’t jump, your center of gravity must move forward and be ready to jump at any time!
Curry successfully reached the basket for the third time!
This time Kobe caught up and slapped Curry hard from behind.
If you commit a foul, you must commit it severely!
For such an obvious foul, the referee still has to blow the whistle.
As a referee, it is not good to be blind all the time!
