Chapter 1117 This is the end of the first game? Tonight the 4D broke out~~
Livingston entered the second one and no one paid attention to it, because the biggest card on the Warriors' bench is naturally the former 76ers boss, Andre Iguodala. He mainly defends the opponent during his substitute time.
A stable sixth man is a normal thing in the league. Looking at the first few rounds, Livingston also performed very ordinary. In the first round, he averaged only 4.3 points per game. He seemed to be completely harmless to humans and animals.
, but if you look carefully at this series, you will see that in the first and second games, he scored 2 to 3 points and only took 1 or 2 shots. But suddenly when the third game was tight, he directly scored ten points.
Then in the fourth game when the team played smoothly, he began to lie dormant again, not even taking a shot. Such games were everywhere throughout Livingston's playoff journey with the Warriors, such as the first round match against the Warriors.
The Pelicans were also in this pattern. In the first two games they won by big scores, he basically didn't take many shots and scored very little. But in the third game where he played extremely anxiously, how did he do it? 12 points in the game, etc.
Wait, this is not just 12 points. He scored 9 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. His shooting percentage was 80% in the single quarter! 71.4% in the game! But when you look at his average data in this round, it is extremely unspectacular.
, averaging 3 to 4 points per game. In the first few games, he only took one shot and scored 0 to 2 points. But if you look at the last two key games, one was 6 points and the other was 10 points, with a shooting rate of 75% respectively.
And 66%. But if you look at his series data, he only averaged 3 points per game. Is it okay for me to go to the water dispenser?
In the original Western Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets, his average in the series was 7+ points per game. In fact.
18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists in a game, 75% shooting rate, 8 points in a game, 100% shooting rate, you can find that as long as he finds that his touch is not good, he will not shoot more than 3 to 4 times in that game.
, and he will definitely not obey the discipline and arrangements in the next game if he performs well in this game, and starts to ask for this and that. He will absolutely obey Cole's arrangements. Even if he played extremely well in the last game, he will fail in the next game.
If I let him not shoot a single ball and let him have no playing time, he would have no problem.
For this kind of player, if you look at the average data per game, you can't tell anything at all.
I just think, oh, he is very ordinary.
But if you watch the series, you will know, oh, he is a surprise player. The Warriors can suddenly jump out and give you a very efficient and high-percentage surprise player. His existence is definitely Cole's ball control.
A highlight of the team, from this point of view, this so-called 16 million three-year contract really won over Livingston's hearts and made him consider the Warriors as his second place.
Hometown.
Why can't this kind of role player, this kind of functional player, be played in the hands of others? Because they look down on Livingston and think that he has been seriously injured and is considered useless, and it is impossible to rise again.
Even if his minimum salary contract gives him face, what kind of contract do he want? Secondly, many head coaches of many teams have not figured out how to use him and have not designed it in detail, so he feels that he is a dispensable person. As a result, he ended up with the Warriors
, everyone discovered, oh, he is so good at certain times.
Cole's specialized tactical design and arrangements gave him a second spring, and he will naturally try his best to reciprocate, which is complementary to each other.
For example, one thing Cole said to him is that if your hand is good and you encounter someone shorter than you, you should resolutely shoot singles from the wing, mid-low post, and don't think too much or hesitate. That's what Livingston is like now.
Damn it, he was originally in the No. 1 position, and his height is very mismatched, so it was easy to hit Farmar, who was only a little over 1.8 meters tall.
There is no problem with Farmar's defensive attitude, but he just can't defend the opponent, because Livingston's behind-the-back shooting is simply textbook level now. Don't get me wrong, his ability in this area is certainly not at the level of Djoko.
A simple analogy is that one is a reasonable use type, and the other is Oops, I'm going to get the ball, which means I'm going to blow you up.
Or to quote another joke, Livingston’s back shot is called, huh? You’re so short, come on, come on, I’m going to bully you and hit you on the head. What about Choco’s back shot? Then
Yes, huh? Who are you? Hmm. It doesn't matter who you are, come on, come on, I'm just going to shoot your big head off, it's weird if you can't guard me. I can bully anyone with my back shooting.
This is probably the difference.
It's a pity that Farmar is too short. Livingston is accurate every time he hits. You can find that in any game where he scores more points, he must have a high shooting rate. And it's scary, 60% to 70% in the whole game.
going up.
And it's not just this season, he will be at this level for many seasons to come.
Brush ~ again, scored again? Are you kidding? Is he so accurate? Didn't he only average 3 to 4 points per game in the first two rounds? Are you kidding me? Tang Qian actually didn't pay much attention to it.
Livingston, in his original time and space, his focus was more on the Lakers. The finals was to see how the famous "Splash Brothers" defeated LeBron James.
Livingston averaged 4 to 5 points per game. He was really inconspicuous and could easily be forgotten.
Even if you watch the video, you only focus on the key points. It is impossible to focus on such a player. It would take too much energy and time, and the gain outweighs the loss. Tang Qian does not have so much free time. After all, basketball players still train on the court.
Mainly, this aspect of video is just an auxiliary. Many players who don’t watch video very much can still become superstars or even super giants? Therefore, players’ greatest energy and time should still be put into on-court training.
Video recording is useful, but it absolutely cannot replace training. It can only serve as the finishing touch or icing on the cake.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"During this period of regular substitute time, the Warriors still maintained a very stable score. What do you think, Yang Yi, the score difference between the Lakers and the Warriors is getting wider and wider."
"I think this is only temporary. A player always feels good occasionally. There is no big problem with D'Antoni's tactical response. It is right to focus on Iguodala during the substitute period. Now the Lakers mainly focus on
Just do your own offense." Yangyi often gets "slapped in the face", and this time too. Of course he is not the only one. Not many people are optimistic about Livingston now. He only came to the Warriors this year.
In the first year, this "characteristic" of his was not discovered by many people.
Just as he was talking, brush~, another one came in from Livingston's side!
At this moment, Yang Zhi was a little embarrassed. He was about to say, the Lakers made a mistake. Iguodala intercepted Farmar's pass. Livingston's ball was quick and subconscious. He got the ball.
He faced the defender in front of him. Ariza didn't expect that this tall point guard who was seriously injured and was not wanted by anyone for his previous minimum salary would actually play so tough this season.
Beep~Although he didn't let Livingston make the shot, he committed a defensive foul and the latter had to go to the free throw line to make 2 free throws.
Swish ~ 2 free throws, clean and tidy, the Warriors retreated.
If he doesn't score again, D'Antoni will call timeout again. At this time, Nick Young shoots a three-pointer angrily. The former is also shocked when he sees it, but not long after, the Warriors lose a mid-range shot.
Go in. Bosh of the Lakers broke through to the basket and caused a defensive foul by David Lee of the Warriors. He made 1 of 2 free throws. The Warriors got the rebound and continued to advance.
Iguodala took the ball, broke through, and the Lakers shrank. This lineup's ability to protect the basket is relatively weak, and the basic shrinking effect will be more obvious. Iguodala passed the ball out, and the Warriors missed a three-pointer from the outside.
.But they got this offensive rebound again, a 2-pass pass, and the basketball was in the hands of Brazilian Leandro Barbosa. Barbosa's three-point shooting was still very strong in his peak period.
It has reached more than 44%. But by this season, he has reached the end of his career and feels a bit like the sunset. In the original time and space, his three-pointers this season were less than 34%. In this time and space, it looks about the same, bang,
It's obviously a good chance, but it's just a blacksmith.
Yi Jianlian of the Lakers took advantage of Sacre's position to get the defensive rebound, and then he gave it to Farmar, and the Lakers attacked.
It's Nick Young again. He got rid of the trouble he had in the last game against the Clippers. He's in very good shape tonight.
Pull-up, three-pointer, and a little bit backward, hit.
After scoring the goal, he made an "O.K. mirror" gesture, telling you guys from Golden State to take a good look at how accurate he is.
The Warriors missed again on the offensive end, and the Lakers' opportunity came. Bosh broke through the basket, but was blocked from the side by Iguodala who moved from the left. To be honest, this ball was a bit suspicious of a hitter, but
This is the home court of the Warriors. There is no problem with this kind of home whistle. The Lakers did not fight for offensive rebounds and the Warriors did not play fast because Cole made a gesture on the sidelines, which immediately made the players on the court understand.
.
The Warriors slowed down their pace and shifted into position.
One of the biggest differences between the Warriors and the Lakers now is that although they both focus on speed, the former can slow down and maintain vitality and aggression, but the latter cannot. Slowing down means abandoning your martial arts skills and reducing your firepower.
This will continue in the future. If D'Antoni only knows how to play fast and not slow, then it will probably be difficult for him to lead the team to win the NBA championship. Because after a stalemate, positional warfare is king, and he cannot fight.
Position, it is difficult to stand out at critical moments. Cole is different from him in this regard. First of all, he has arranged a lot of tactics to deal with position mode in the main lineup. What makes D'Antoni different from him even more is that his substitute lineup
Among them, there are also people who can attack from position efficiently.
In this way, the gap becomes larger.
For example, the Warriors are missing several three-pointers from outside. What should they do? They turn into a position, and after everyone is in position, the tactics are stretched to one side, and then...the ball is transferred to the Warriors' No. 34.
It was still one-on-one, and Farmar tried his best to defend the ball, but a "swipe" sound made his face look a little dumbfounded and shocked.
Go in again? Are you kidding me?
Did he miss a shot in this quarter? Is he too stable? Is this a player who has been seriously injured? Is this a player who only most teams were willing to pay a minimum salary after last season? He played in the first two rounds
The average score is less than 5 points? Are you kidding me?
This performance is much better than that of an ordinary substitute, okay? Just play with me.
Indeed, because of Livingston's stability in this quarter, no, it should be excellent performance, only halfway through the second quarter, D'Antoni couldn't sit still, so he had to replace Tang Qian and continue. Because he could see that,
It's not that the Lakers didn't play well in this period, it's just that No. 34 played too well. If he doesn't change to the main force, the second quarter of this game will probably be wasted.
No joke, when Tang Qian and others took the field again, the score difference was already more than 10 points behind.
Not to mention anything else, Livingston actually made a personal attack wave of 5 out of 5 shots and 4 out of 4 free throws in this period, scoring 14 points in a single quarter. This is really staggering to see. Even in the second quarter
He once made 5 of 5 shots in one round, but that didn't happen to the Lakers themselves, and the impact and feeling were far from as strong. And this data is not just now, he also did it in the Western Conference Finals in the original time and space.
I've been there before, it's really a super surprise.
Because of this, after the Warriors' main players came off the court, instead of narrowing the score, the Lakers were pulled further and further away.
If it weren't for Nick Young's three-pointers, it would probably have entered 20 points of "garbage time" right now.
After Tang Qian came on the court, he also started his personal offense. He faced the basket for 2 singles in a row. Bogut was the second defense of the original time and space, but it was not that Tang Qian could not play alone. He made 1 of 2 shots and made 2 free throws.
Got 4 points. But it was not easy to play like this, because the scoring was too slow. The Warriors first had a strong defensive integrity, not to mention the ability to switch offense and defense in the middle of the defensive counterattack. The Lakers worked hard and Tang Qian
When one of them gets in, the other party attacks easily. If you fight like this, it won't be long before the stalemate becomes impossible.
If you often watch the live broadcast of games, you will definitely be familiar with this sentence.
You can't tell the score in a few short rounds, but you will know it as time goes by. After Tang Qian came back, he played continuously in the interior, and his hit rate was pretty good. After all, his opponent was the second defensive interior of the original time and space, and he could score in isolation.
This hit rate is actually very good. However, the score difference has not changed at all. Because the opponent is also scoring goals, Iguodala scored 2 goals, and they are also missing from the outside. Tang Qian is alone in this period.
He is scoring under the offensive pressure of the whole team, but the breakthrough play is very energy-consuming. No one can maintain the breakthrough play for the whole game, not even Jordan, Kobe, or Iverson. Naturally, Tang Qian is the same. So he needs to take a breather.
It was a slow time, but while he was catching his breath, the Warriors were still scoring slowly.
This is very embarrassing.
The Lakers are without Nick Young in this period, and their outside shooting percentage is not good. The Warriors' defense is truly the best in the league, and they handle the substitute time so well. Iguodala plays a defensive role in this lineup.
The role of Arrow, he forced the Lakers' Jimmy Butler to make 2 of 7 shots so far, and these two goals were not scored under Iguodala's defense. Butler was in Iguodala's defense in this game.
Under La's defense, he is currently 0-for-5 from the field. This is the real matchup data between the two.
Butler was also depressed.
Why are the opponents upgrading one by one? Barnes is very fierce. Now he is better. Iguodala is replaced by a more defensive Iguodala to defend himself. Iguodala, don't look at it since last year's first defense.
He has not entered the defense since then, but this is just "pretending to be dead". Fans who have followed the NBA for a long time will definitely know that Iguodala in the playoffs and the regular season are two different people, and he is missing in the regular season.
It doesn't matter at all, he is indispensable in the playoffs. Many Warriors fans even jokingly said that Iguodala only needs to play a dozen games in the playoffs. On this point, he will be at odds with the Warriors in the playoffs.
The teams and fans who have passed it must be fresh in their memories. Now that we have reached the Western Conference Finals, what reason does Iguodala have to "play dead"? Of course not, the defense can work harder.
This guy used to defend James alone in the Space-Time Finals, and he won this year's FMVP. If you underestimate his defense, he will make you feel happy from beginning to end. Now, our little brother Butler feels like this. It's really
It’s so cool, it’s so cool to hit the iron.
Including the physical strength that he is proud of, he has no advantage against Iguodala now.
Iguodala weighed almost 200 pounds when he was a rookie, and now he has reached over 220 pounds. Otherwise, you would think that without any meat or tonnage, his body would be so toned, and his arms would be so thick and scary. He is a warrior.
The team's real one-on-one defense in the playoffs. When James came, he pressed forward without hesitation. Therefore, Jimmy Butler, who has only begun to develop his own offensive ability in his first year, is really far behind him. People's original time and space
This season's FMVP is not guaranteed.
Tang Qian guessed the huge gap in strength from the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be so much different.
Now it seems that the gap is not only the depth of the lineup, chemical reaction, system, but also changes in on-the-spot changes, defense, handling of details, etc. If you look at the game up to now, they don’t have the main force and the strongest scoring method.
How to play, the Lakers have been done like this. Cole did not miss the bench time, using Livingston to make the Lakers miscalculate as a whole and almost collapse. There is nothing D'Antoni can do about this now.
On the Lakers bench, there is no No. 1 player who can match Livingston's height. You can only extend the main player's playing time, but Livingston is just a substitute. When Livingston goes down, the main "Splash Brothers"
"Come up, how can you fight and defend? Do you think you won't get tired? That way the Warriors will still have the upper hand.
No one on the Lakers can break this step, and the substitutes will definitely be overrun. In the original time and space, the entire league did not have much to do with Livingston. He is tall and tall at the No. 1 position, and he is so hard-working and uncomplaining.
There is no way to deal with it. Let the main force deal with it. The gain outweighs the loss. If you suffer a big loss, come on as a substitute. Who can match him? At this time, you need the help of the defensive system. Unfortunately... The Lakers are probably at the bottom of the entire league in this aspect.
.
Their defense is supported by this group of people's single defense.
Therefore, when the opponent's attack points exceed their number of single defense opponents, disadvantages immediately appear.
Cole just sat there with a smile on his face, as if everything was as expected.
No one knows how scary this man is now, not even Tang Qian. Because this season is not Cole's peak, but just the beginning of his peak. He is the latest dynasty coach in this era. Dynasty
Coach, if you count carefully in history, how many are there? Even if he is not the strongest head coach in three consecutive dynasties, how do you know whether he will also enter this realm in the future. In that case, it would be terrible.
.
There was a problem at one point, and it was a replacement point, but it caused a flash flood-like collapse.
The entire Lakers team was caught off guard.
Sure enough, in the second half, the Lakers didn't resist for long before they collapsed and were defeated by their opponents.
The ability to flow is also one of the most prominent labels of this Warriors team. They often beat their opponents by a big margin. After three quarters, your team will be defeated in just a few minutes. Therefore, playing against the Warriors requires a little secret, but now Tang Qian
I don’t know yet. Because he is also a little dazed now. The score that was still barely stalemate was suddenly thrown away by a huge amount. The consecutive three-pointers after the opponent’s defensive counterattack really hit the Los Angeles Lakers hard.
The team's morale makes you watch the score difference suddenly change from ten points to more than 20 points, and then close to 30 points.
There is nothing we can do. We lost this game. The Lakers' preparation was easily shattered by their opponents in this game.
Although they "only lost" by 15 points in the end, it was because all the main players of the Warriors were off the court. Otherwise, the biggest score difference once reached 29 points. It was even worse than the regular season. The Warriors made adjustments in the playoffs.
You have to be better at playing against this kind of team with no defensive system, rhythm, seizing opportunities, and the connection between players is a bit stronger than in the regular season.
In addition, there is a bench surprise, Livingston and Iguodala echo each other on the bench.
Against this team, the Lakers have all-round disadvantages.
If you want to defeat, the key is to work hard on the defensive end. In offensive competition, others can maintain their own scoring firepower while suppressing your scoring. In this way, comparing scores is an act of seeking death. Any team in the original time and space and the Warriors
Playing head-to-head basketball is a dead end, no matter who you are. How did the Rockets almost defeat the Warriors in the future? Is it because of the offense? Look at the score, look at the game, it is because of the defense after Paul joined the team.
Ah, a top-three defense in the league.
You can't beat them offensively. Their scoring is too even. The strongest shooter in history and one of the top ten shooters in history are in the same team at the same time. This is really no joke. Even now, there is no
Any team can compete with them. The original time and space will introduce "Du Difu" in the future because it is used to attack tough situations at critical moments, not to compete with fast offensive firepower. For offensive firepower, they started from the first game of this season.
It has reached a terrifying level.
And unlike the Lakers, they have super firepower that also takes into account defense.
This... is basically a double-punch rhythm that leaves you overwhelmed.
If you can't be like the Rockets in 2018, where the entire team is integrated on offense and defense, you will have to kneel down when you fight them.
Of course, relying on the referee to control the field, there may be a chance.
But this depends on the mood of our president, it is not up to you.
At the end of the game, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 115-100. Their scoring was extremely even. Six people scored in double figures, including three who scored 18 points. They were Curry, Thompson, and Livingston. Curry.
He only scored 27 points in the game. This is because, it’s not that he was in poor condition, his shooting percentage was very good tonight, but... the game was already wasted and over before it was his turn to exert his strength. So he
You can only clock in and get off work.
The highest scorer on the Lakers side was Nick Young. Because the game entered "garbage time" in the middle of the third quarter, D'Antoni withdrew all his main players, and Nick Young fired at will. He was bound to lose anyway, and he had no burden.
Scored a game-high 30 points.
However, it has no value, because it is just a number that is useless in "garbage time".
It just makes the Lakers lose less and more enjoyable.
That's all.
Tang Qian scored 23 points, 19 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 assist in this game, which is another "big double-double" close to 20+20. Compared with the game against the Clippers, the data has fully recovered.
Yes, but...that's the same sentence. If the game is lost, this kind of data is just good-looking. What Tang Qian hates most is bullshit like "The Lakers lost, but Tang Qian didn't lose." That's it.
Let me ask, am I not from the Lakers? If the Lakers lose, why don’t I count as a loser?
The first game of the Western Conference Finals has come to an end before it reaches its climax.
