On April 27, 2013, the third game between the Warriors and the Lakers officially started.
Although the first two games were disastrous losses, Lakers fans still have a glimmer of hope.
The playoffs really start with an away victory. The two games the Warriors have won so far have been at home, which is nothing.
After returning to the home court, will the Lakers' four kings catch up and give the Warriors a head-on blow?
Probably!
Young people play with passion, while veterans rely on experience.
When the momentum subsides, it's time for experience to come into play.
Lakers fans thought well, but the result disappointed them.
The Warriors didn't give the Lakers any chance at all. They came up with a sap and stopped the Lakers directly at 15:0!
The Splash Brothers had three three-pointers, Hayward had one three-pointer, and even Yao Ming threw in a three-pointer!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that arrows rained down like rain!
In fact, the Lakers didn't have no chance. The Warriors frantically attacked the Lakers. Kobe, Artest and others were all open on the outside. They made several shots in a row, but they didn't score!
There is no way, this is the gap in shooting talent!
This is also why the Warriors dare to double-team!
I just force you to shoot, I just speed up the pace of the game, let's see what you do!
My shooting is more accurate than yours, and I'm younger than you. Let's compete in shooting and speed. Let's see what you do!
There is nothing the Lakers can do.
People are huddling inside to flank the inside players, and the ball comes out into a wide open space. You can't help but shoot, right?
How can we play like that!
You have to take action even if you can’t make a shot!
We are all NBA players. If you can't make a shot, it doesn't matter. If you are intimidated and don't dare to make a shot, it's a shame!
The Warriors had already planned to do this.
There is a huge gap in strength between the Lakers and the Warriors, and Deng Fang doesn't want to waste time on the Lakers, let alone an accident.
Once the pace slows down for positional combat, which involves hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, there is a risk of injury.
How great it would be if everyone started running and shooting outside!
For Deng Fang, although injuries to Warriors players can be cured, it will also cost them ability points.
And the ability value is not infinite, because the opponent players have to be treated when they are injured.
Within a few days of the playoffs, Deng Fang treated Kobe, Gallinari, and Westbrook, spending 120 on their ability points alone!
Fortunately, this is the first round. If it reaches the second round, the cost will be doubled!
Although there are a lot of ability points left from last season, plus the ability points accumulated from winning games in the regular season, Deng Fang has enough ability points, but the province still needs to save.
Who knows what will happen next?
Even if a Warriors player is not injured, what will happen if the opponent is injured?
The best way to avoid injuries is for everyone not to fight hard or fight hand-to-hand!
Competing with shooting and fast breaks, no one is easily injured, how great is this!
It is for this reason that Deng Fang deployed such a defensive strategy.
I'm just a double-team, guarding the restricted area, let's see what you do!
The five of us are shrinking near the penalty area, you still want to score the ball?
Isn’t that just a dream?
The Warriors defend like this, and the Lakers can only shoot from the outside.
As long as the Lakers can't make a shot, the Warriors will grab the rebound and play a fast break!
It's no problem for the Lakers to retreat in one round, and they can keep up in two rounds. What about three rounds? What about four consecutive rounds of fast breaks?
The Warriors' fast breaks are different from other teams. Many of them are rush three-pointers!
This offensive method is very dangerous. Once the shot fails, the Lakers will turn to fast break.
But this is exactly the result the Warriors want!
It doesn't matter even if the Lakers are given a chance to make a fast break!
If you score, I will quickly serve the baseline ball, or fast break!
All in all, it’s just one word – fast!
The Lakers couldn't keep up with the Warriors' rhythm. The Warriors stopped the Lakers with several consecutive three-pointers!
After the timeout, the Lakers still wanted to grind down their position and slow down the pace, but they couldn't.
The Warriors are not afraid of being slow, but they don't want to be slow. The Lakers want to be slow, but they can't be fast!
The game between the Lakers and the Warriors is like a young man competing against an old man.
The old man has great martial arts skills, but he is getting older. He pointed at the young man and said: "If you have the ability, let's fight slowly. No one can run away!"
The young man snorted disdainfully: "Tch, I'm not afraid of you if I beat you slowly, I'm just too lazy to grind with you!"
"Then don't run away! Stop, let's hit you one by one!" the old man said panting.
The young man unexpectedly punched the old man, and then ran away in a hurry: "Who has time to play with an old guy like you? If you have the ability, just catch up with me!"
The old man stood there angrily and said, "I won't run away, let's see what you do!"
The young man suddenly ran past the old man, punched him in the face, and ran away again: "Hahaha, you don't have to run, just wait and get beaten!"
Seeing the young man walking around, the old man felt hurt and angry, so he had to run with the young man: "You... you... you don't have martial ethics!"
…
The Warriors picked up the pace quickly, and the Lakers followed the Warriors' lead.
As can be imagined, the point difference between the two teams widened further and further.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by 23 points!
In the second quarter, the Lakers replaced Nash, Howard, Artest and Gasol, leaving only Kobe Bryant with four substitutes.
There is no way, the pace of the game is too fast, let alone others.
Kobe was also tired and out of breath, but he couldn't do it without him, so he gritted his teeth and persisted.
Fortunately, the Warriors' substitutes didn't feel good, and the two teams started a fierce battle, and the point difference did not widen much.
At halftime, the Warriors led by 26 points.
In the third quarter, the Warriors returned from the starting lineup. After resting for nearly an hour, Curry and others once again increased their intensity and ran all over the court!
The Lakers serve in the backcourt and the Warriors press hard!
The whole place presses!
How can a game between NBA teams be full-court press during regular time?!
Are you going to let people live?
Aren't you tired?
The Lakers players are very depressed, but the Warriors don't care about that.
If you want to play slower, then we will force you to speed up the pace!
The Lakers are indeed experienced and successfully used the Warriors' pressing to hit several fast breaks, but the Warriors also accelerated the pace of the game!
It doesn’t matter how many you fight, as long as you fight fast!
It’s okay to make some mistakes in tactics, as long as the strategic direction is correct!
The game was played very quickly, and the Splash Brothers were so happy!
He is fast and runs the whole court, either dunking or throwing three-pointers. This kind of rhythm is most suitable for the Splash Brothers!
Even Curry dunked twice!
The little prince Miankou is not a wasted reputation!
The Lakers and the Warriors ran for more than half a quarter, and soon they couldn't stand it anymore.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors took the opportunity to hit a 13:2 spurt, successfully opening the point difference to 37 points!
The game has completely lost its suspense!
In the fourth quarter, both teams came on the bench and the game was played very quickly.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle, the score was fixed at 145:101. The Warriors won by 44 points, and the series score became 3:0. The Warriors are expected to advance!
