Deng Fang's arrangement was not purely out of grudge.
The main purpose of the Kings is to let Evans get good data.
Then all the Kings' tactics will definitely serve it.
Once the Kings are allowed to play smoothly, not only will Evans get good data, but the victory will probably be taken away by the opponent.
Again, if your opponent feels comfortable fighting you, you should try your best not to let him fight like this!
As long as the opponent is uncomfortable, their tactics will not be successful.
Even if he scores a few goals, they are not tactical goals, but inefficient singles.
Then it was a success!
Like the Clippers, the Kings players are obviously very angry.
Two days ago, Deng Fang's arrogance spread throughout the entire alliance.
A sure win against the Kings, a big win!
Evans is a scumbag!
What are these words!
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
We will fight to the death to kill you!
Even if no one scores, Evans must score!
Anyone can score, just don’t let Curry score!
The atmosphere was very solemn.
The referee blew the whistle, and Lopez and Hawes jumped the ball in the middle circle.
The Kings got the ball first and started attacking.
The ball handler for the Kings is Tyreke Evans.
Defending him was Azubuike.
In fact, Lagabel has more defensive experience.
But what Deng Fang requires is to lead and defend Evans from the backcourt. This task is very tiring and Lagaber's energy may not be able to bear it.
Another reason is that guarding a rookie from the backcourt is something an experienced veteran can't afford to do.
Azubuike has strong defense, is young, and has good experience. He is the most suitable for this kind of job.
Evans glanced at Azubuike who was following him closely and frowned.
What is this for?
As for that?
Are you staring at me from the backcourt?
Do we have any grudge?
Azubuike looked innocent.
There is no way, the head coach asked him to do this.
Although I also feel that a rookie does not need to be so defensive.
But the head coach has spoken loudly, and the tasks have been assigned, so he can only do this!
Azubuike stared closely at Evans, who carefully dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
After looking at the Warriors' formation, Evans frowned again.
What's wrong?
The other members of the Warriors are staring closely at themselves, one step away from the person they want to defend!
What does it mean?
Are you all looking at me?
Although Evans is a rookie, he doesn't know everything.
The warrior's posture gives people a headache just by looking at it!
It seems that I am going to shed my skin today.
Look at Azubuike in front of you, one step away from you!
What is this for?
Let yourself shoot three-pointers?
Just forget it, I don’t have the confidence!
Evans has never been very good at shooting from distance.
Taking two steps forward, Evans wanted to break through.
Azubuike put his arms around Evans and wouldn't leave even an inch.
Lagaabel and Prince had already taken two more steps inside.
Obviously, we have begun to assist in defense.
It's a bit difficult to break through in this posture.
With the Kings' configuration, there is no one who can move without the ball, except for Evans who breaks through and distributes the ball, which means he plays pick-and-roll.
Jason Thompson does have a physical advantage against Prince, but his handwork is very rough and he has no post-up skills, so this matchup is useless.
As for Hawes playing Lopez alone, there is no need to think about it.
Evans signaled Hawes to come out for the pick-and-roll.
Hawes immediately ran out and blocked Azubuike.
Lopez immediately stepped forward and switched defense in front of Evans.
Azubuike was well prepared. He squeezed past Hawes and caught up from behind.
With one person at the front and one at the back, Evans couldn't take action.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t score points, but having an assist is also good!
Evans immediately passed the ball to Hawes, who was open.
But Lagabell had already pounced on him, and Hawes also had no chance to take action.
Although Hawes is much taller than Lagabell, it is still difficult for him to shoot against someone.
Even a small potato can miss Yao Ming's dunk. Lagabell, a defensive warrior nearly two meters tall, stretched out his hand to cover the ball in front of him. Anyone who wants to shoot has to weigh it.
But Hawes is not stupid. Lagabell is not guarding him. Now that he has replaced him, there must be space outside!
Hawes glanced left and right and found that Nocioni's place was empty.
Hawes immediately passed the ball over.
However, Hawes's vision of the court is average, and his passing ability is not very good. Scanning left and right will delay him for a second.
Nocioni caught the ball and was about to shoot, but Curry had already made up for it.
Nocioni had to pass the ball to Udrih.
After three passes, Udrih was left empty-handed.
Lagabel is running here, trying to make up defense.
But he is still several steps away from Udrih.
Udrih can take open shots.
But Udrih’s three-pointer is not very reliable!
Udrih raised his hand and made a shooting gesture. Seeing Lagabell rushing towards him, he immediately dribbled the ball and took two steps in, making a sudden stop for a jumper.
Who would have thought that Lagabelle was just a feint shot, she had already prepared it, and her counterattack was a big hit!
The basketball was blown directly into the audience.
Laga Bell has rich experience and is very familiar with the people in the alliance. How could he be fooled like a young man?
If it were a three-pointer that was accurate, Lagabell might still be able to swoop in and interfere.
For a player like Udri who has no three-point ability, Lagabel is just trying to scare him.
The only three-point threat on the Kings is Nocioni.
Deng Fang has already told you this many times!
There were only two seconds left in the Kings' attack time. There was no other way. Tyreke Evans took the ball and dribbled it, but did not move away from Azubuike. He had to shoot a three-pointer against Azubuike's defense.
It is difficult to hit a three-pointer without anyone guarding Evans, and it is even more ridiculous if someone is guarding him!
The basketball passed by the basket and fell directly off the court!
The timer lights up red.
24 seconds violation!
Kings head coach Westphal frowned.
The attack is completely unstructured!
But this cannot be blamed on the players.
The purpose of the entire team is to train Evans and make his statistics look good.
It’s amazing how high the tactical literacy of the team members can be under such circumstances!
It's the Warriors' turn to attack.
Curry still runs without the ball first.
Obviously, the Kings have made targeted arrangements.
Everyone is staring at Curry!
It seems that the two teams are at loggerheads!
However, it’s okay to focus on Curry. After covering Curry, Lopez immediately cut inside. There was no one guarding the basket and he scored easily.
Looking back, the Kings still attack with the ball.
Azubuike still guards from the backcourt.
The strategy is the same as before.
You can shoot three-pointers.
Don't even think about taking an easy shot from mid-range.
There is no way to break through!
Pass the ball and someone will immediately cover it up.
This time it was Udrih who caught the basketball in the open space.
But Udrih learned his lesson, and this time he stood two steps inside the three-point line.
Udri received the ball without hesitation and shot directly.
Lagabel was a step too late to defend.
The basketball hit the net.
I have to say that Udrih's mid-range shot is really accurate.
