He didn't expect No. 29 of the Lakers to play so fiercely at the beginning of the third quarter. Cole was a little surprised, but this did not affect the overall situation. Because in his opinion, such a style of play was too energy-consuming.
It was already proven in the half. At the end of the game, the Lakers No. 29 couldn't even care about defense, and their offensive shooting percentage also plummeted.
Just relying on these few breaths of relief during the intermission, how long can you last?
Cole didn't pay much attention. After the timeout, he just replaced Livingston and continued to play.
Iguodala did not play for the Warriors in this game. He had some knee discomfort before the game. For the sake of the subsequent playoffs, Cole decisively asked him to choose "injury rest". He also did this
It's very good. It's not like many coaches nowadays, they just like to dominate the main force and consume players excessively for the sake of regular season results.
But after Bogut went down, the Warriors' defense at position 5 was gone, and Tang Qian felt his vision suddenly broadened. In the next game, instead of restraining himself, he continued to face the basket vigorously.
Fighting, this posture made David Li, who was temporarily on top, almost cry.
Before, Bogut took most of the confrontation, and he thought it was nothing. Now that it was Bogut, he suddenly felt that his body was about to fall apart in pain. After all, this is a 291-pound body. When it explodes, who is he?
A person with 245 pounds can easily bear it. Even if Bogut weighs 265 pounds, he has graduated with 6 offenses, right?
This guy really...has something wrong with his brain! You deserve to be beaten to death like this!!!
David Lee thought so, but things gradually began to go completely opposite to what he thought.
The Lakers are still doing it on the 29th! Not only have they maintained the intensity of fighting against the basket on the offensive end, but they have not fallen behind at all on the defensive end??? For example, if Curry and Green hit a screen, the Lakers make hasty substitutions.
When Curry sees the opportunity, he moves forward, then dribbles with a low hand, like a steel needle, taking advantage of the gap and quickly cutting in. This is a standard round of using speed to hit mismatches. Curry is also a master of the game, even the most successful one.
One of the strongest, of course, this is mainly because his three-point shooting is too strong, so your defensive pace must be closer than defending others. As mentioned before, whether it is a wild field or a professional field, the closer you are, the easier it is to be penetrated.
Therefore, there is also a saying of "tighten the sudden and release the investment".
This is Curry's advantage.
His shooting, whether it is three-pointers or mid-range, is terrifying. Looking at the data, it doesn't feel real.
This makes defensive players extremely "allergic" to his shooting movements.
After the screen, Curry decelerated in the mid-range as if he was about to take a shooting stance. This attracted Covington, and he unnaturally took a big step forward to prevent his opponent from taking off and shooting.
If Curry was just a very good shooter last year, then starting this season, people's evaluation of him has become a top marksman. On the base of 8+ three-pointers, this No. 30 can actually maintain more than
44% three-point shooting rate! This situation is unique in history!
40% is a threshold for three-pointers. Regardless of whether you are taking open shots or not, every additional 1% is the difference between quantitative change and qualitative change. He can actually achieve more than 44% with such a large number of shots.
Three points, who is not afraid?
And his mid-range and long-range 2-pointers from 10-23 feet have an astonishing average of 45.45% this season!
In this case, it is impossible for you not to be deceived by his feints. Moreover, if you are at their level and you really don't come up, then I'm sorry, but I will throw it away. I will vote for you without any negotiation.
When Curry saw that Covington was too close to him, he immediately changed from shooting to dribbling. This technical action is not the kind of technique we usually use on the wild court where we catch the ball without dribbling. He is dribbling.
During the ball process, he uses a leading posture that is very similar to shooting to trick the opponent. In this technique, No. 24 of the former Lakers was the best, the king of combination of sudden shots.
Curry's skills are not at the level of Kobe, but his shooting ability is so strong that it makes his breakthrough easier. Curry passed Covington and just threw the basket.
Take the shot. This is also a classic move for outside players to enter the paint and play. Tony Parker of the Spurs is a master of it.
"Stephen easily passed his opponent. He threw the basket. Compared with last season, this season he has become a well-deserved superstar player in the league. He should get the highest honor of the regular season this season!"
Bob Gerrard, the Warriors' on-site commentator, said: "Dongfang Fang is also very good, but he is still not as good as Stephen from the Bay Area."
What is "poisonous milk"? This is the explanation. After finishing speaking, Curry's ball was rushed out to the right by a big hand and was slapped away with great force.
This guy? Why can he react so quickly? Doesn't his physical fitness have any impact?
What’s surprising is yet to come. The stamina card used to be a seemingly useless card, but when your hard ability improves, you will find that it is still a powerful auxiliary card. Why do you say that?
?Keep reading below to find out.
Tang Qian caused a defensive foul on David Lee. He made a free throw at the free throw line and hit the first free throw. He also hit the second free throw!
And there is no hesitation or rest between each ball. After receiving the ball, he raises his hand and shoots.
Yi Jianlian looked a little confused on the sidelines, because he obviously spent a lot of money, why didn't he take a few breaths at the free throw line? Professional players all know that the free throw line is the best buffer time.
Curry also felt that Tang Qian was going crazy, and the energy he exerted during the halftime break would soon bottom out.
At that time, he had no physical strength and was just a toothless tiger, he just looked good.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
Zhang Weiping frowned and said, "You should take a few breaths at this time. Tang Qian is still too impatient."
Meteor Rain also said: "Yes, the Lakers are back-to-back in this game. The further back they go, the worse their physical reserves are. Look at the other Lakers players, they are already looking exhausted."
Yes, in this game, the Lakers simply have neither the right time nor the right location, nor the harmony. There is a big gap in strength in the away game + back-to-back +. In this way, not to mention winning, it is all about losing less.
It's pretty good. But, if someone wants to surprise you, someone will say the opposite! Do you think you are sure to win? Then I will turn the world upside down for you!
The Warriors’ on-site commentary started with a slightly teasing voice:
"Dongfang Fang of the Lakers is still attacking hard in front of the basket. He is really dedicated and he really wants to win~haha~"
"This is meaningless resistance. He just doesn't want to do this."
After a while:
"Dongfang Fang's physical fitness is quite good tonight. He can play like this back to back, which really surprises me."
"Working so hard for a regular season, Dongfang Fang is also very eager to win this year's MVP. Unfortunately, he is destined to miss this season. This season belongs to our Bay Area."
Towards the end of the third quarter, the two men couldn't hold it any longer and said:
"Is No. 29 of the Lakers playing in a high explosive state? Or is his spirit transcending the body? How can he still maintain such offensive intensity? Does he really not intend to slow down?"
"This is just holding on for dear life. I guess he has reached the final edge and will completely collapse later."
After four minutes of play in the fourth quarter, the Warriors’ on-site commentator finally couldn’t help it, stared and said:
"He, he is still fighting like this??? Oh my God, David Lee of our Warriors was punished by him, okay? Isn't he tired??? How many more kills does he have to do before he is satisfied?
???Do we have any backup big men on our team who can hit him???"
"Festus came in and committed his third foul. This is really...a bit..." He originally wanted to say that the referee's whistle was too considerate of Tang Qian in this game, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.
Because everyone who watched this game knows that although No. 29 of the Lakers took a lot of free throws tonight, they basically deserved it. Not only did the referee not take care of him, but because this was the Warriors.
At home, a few defensive fouls were called. But even so, he still made 20 free throws.
The most shocking thing is that this guy obviously has no intention of stopping.
He will continue to do it!!! Continue to attack from the basket!!! Continue to cause damage!!!
Although the score difference was not overtaken, there were only 5 points left. During this period, the opponent's momentum was too strong, and the Warriors were inevitably affected. The most frightening thing was that Cole also discovered that he was attacking in this way.
At the same time, he is also taking into account high-quality defense on the defensive end??? No matter how you look at it, it is a bit unbelievable.
If you want to say that his physical fitness is particularly good, that would make sense, but obviously the Lakers' No. 29 is not.
Cole has already seen this in the video, and it is definitely not fake.
So... is it that his physical condition is particularly good tonight? His physical strength is explosive? Or is it that his spirit surpasses his body?
It's possible. But even so, the continuous output of offense and defense is still a bit scary.
In today's league, there is no insider of this caliber.
It's as if tonight, Lakers No. 29's physical strength has bottomed out.
No matter what, you can't empty it out or use it up.
As Tang Qian successfully hit another three-pointer, Cole finally couldn't help but call a timeout, because the score was so close that only a 2-pointer was left. Inside the team, except for Green, who didn't do much frontal defense, the rest of the team couldn't help but call a timeout.
Everyone commits at least 3 to 4 fouls.
If this continues, the Warriors will really have no one available inside.
In that case, it would not be an easy victory as promised.
Do you still need to attack this team that is clearly seen through by you and restrained by your own system?
This was something Cole didn't expect at first. His original plan was to enter garbage time in the first half and make good use of the time in the second half to practice the lineup and test his tactical ideas. But all of this was blocked by the Lakers.
No. 29 was messed up. If Kerr doesn't take it seriously, the Warriors may really be "careless and lose Jingzhou" and lose inexplicably.
Losing the game without taking it seriously is unacceptable.
You can win, but you can't lose.
It’s so frustrating to lose because it’s clear that I still have a lot of skills that I haven’t used yet. What else is this if it’s not an injustice?
Cole paused this time, finally took out the tactical board, and began to slide the tactical pen on the tactical board.
PS: Don’t worry, there is still one more chapter!!! Keep going!!!!!!!
Xiao Zi wants to keep fighting!!! Keep the beast’s blood boiling!!!
