On March 6, the Warriors challenged the Lakers away from home. Historically, this was the sixth game they lost this season.
Historically, the specific scores in the four quarters of this game are 21-22, 28-38, 24-24 and 22-28 (the Warriors are in front).
For the Warriors, Curry made 1 of 10 three-pointers and scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Thompson had 15 points and 4 rebounds.
Seven Lakers players scored in double figures. Clarkson scored 4 three-pointers and scored a team-high 25 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. Russell had 21 points, 5 assists and 4 steals. Buss and Nick Young each contributed 13
Randall and Kobe each scored 12 points, Huertas scored 10 points and 9 assists.
The Warriors made only 4 of 30 three-pointers in the entire game and made 20 turnovers!
Historically, the Warriors started this game with no injured players, and the Lakers, as the tenth-ranked team in the Western Conference, are not very competitive. The Warriors' loss is indeed a big upset.
Deng Fang knew this fact, but he had no good solution - Curry really felt bad at Staples Arena, and this was not something he could solve.
But Deng Fang still wanted to win, and in the end he made a bold decision to rest Curry!
Since Curry doesn't feel good, it's better not to let Curry play and leave the opportunity to others!
Even without Curry, this Warriors team is stronger than the Lakers. There is no doubt about this.
In addition, Deng Fang also made some targeted arrangements, which was to short Kobe.
This is Kobe's last season. This season, his three-point shooting is as stretched as ever. Historically, Kobe's three-point shooting in this game was 0 for 5, and his touch was also very bad.
Since it is the last season and since it is a tour, Kobe will definitely be on the team. Anyway, his three-pointers are not accurate, so let him go.
In addition, the Warriors sent people to focus on Clarkson and Russell, determined not to let them throw three-pointers!
The Warriors' defensive strategy is very simple, which is to leave Kobe open outside the three-point line while locking the basket and the three-point line to give the Lakers a chance to make a mid-range shot.
When hot, chicken blood is also essential.
If you do these things, the Warriors will most likely win.
The reason why the Warriors have such an outstanding record is not only Curry's outstanding condition and the Warriors' excellent offense, but also their defense that has always been ranked among the best in the league.
The offense may occasionally be out of shape, and the shooting may not feel good, but as long as the defense is online, it will be difficult for the opponent to win.
Not to mention a weak team like the Lakers.
Of course, if Kobe shows off his power and throws ten three-pointers in a game, then there is nothing anyone can do.
But that is a small probability event, the possibility is very small.
The facts are exactly as Deng Fang expected. Under the Warriors' targeted defensive strategy, the Lakers' offense was very frustrating. They had no chance of three-pointers, were repeatedly intercepted or blocked at the basket, and could only rely on occasional mid-range shots to score.
The Warriors' absence of Curry will definitely have an impact on the offensive end, but precisely because of Curry's absence, Clay and others are more determined to take action.
Curry has the Staples curse, but the rest of the Warriors don't!
Although the Warriors can no longer attack as smoothly as before, relying on airtight defense and counterattack fast breaks, the Warriors have always maintained their lead.
In the end, the Warriors easily won 101:90, defeated the Lakers in an away game, and won 61 consecutive victories!
