Because no matter what they do, Dongfang No. 29 is still scoring points and scoring baskets with high efficiency and high shooting percentage. This looks like a fake, completely untrue. The two of them obviously defended seriously, and even
The defensive state was a little bit off, but as a result, the opponent seemed to have nothing to do, and kept scoring as they pleased. Suddenly, the situation was not good, and Cole himself felt a little dazed.
Because, he found that he still underestimated the number 29.
He originally thought that the defensive method of assisting defense would be enough to suppress him, but the result was completely different from what he expected.
Is this guy in such good shape tonight? Drummond and Andrew can't hold him down? This situation is extremely rare after playing so many games this season. Assistant coach Walton next to him opened his mouth
Said: "Steve, the team is not playing very well this period. Do you want to make a substitution? Change the formation?"
Change of formation? Substitution? Well, no, wait a little longer, maybe it’s just a temporary outburst of state, and it’ll be over.
As a result, the Warriors were beaten in the face, and the accumulated score difference in the first quarter was completely swallowed up. The Warriors also underestimated their opponents in this period, playing a bit simple, and Thompson really didn't feel good tonight, so he gave
The Lakers had many opportunities. The Lakers' shooting percentage in this quarter was still strong, nearly half higher than that of the Warriors. From this point of view, tying the score was not a particularly shocking thing. Cole called
Timeout, the Lakers' inside shooting percentage is too high, and there are also a lot of kills, so they must make adjustments now.
The defensive end still needs to strengthen control, and it must not be eaten alive like just now.
Cole himself felt that the scene just now was a bit incredible, as if Bogut had changed from one original chicken to two. And the person eating chicken was none other than No. 29 of the Lakers. He really made it happen.
Cole felt that it was a bit unexpected.
However, he was not an ordinary coach. He quickly returned to normal. He first cheered and told the whole team that the tie was just a return to the starting line, so there was no need to worry. Furthermore, he said it straightforwardly.
, no matter how strong one person in the Lakers is, he is just like that. Our Golden State Warriors are a whole, an offensive and defensive system, and one person cannot win the ball.
Then, Curry was replaced and Livingston was replaced. Although there was less than 30 seconds left in the second quarter, Cole still made this substitution arrangement. His purpose was also very simple, he replaced Curry.
The purpose of going up is to grab points, at least to ensure that we return to the locker room with a lead before the end of the first half. This is a matter of psychological advantage.
"That's the tactical arrangement, Stephen, is there any problem?" Cole asked before taking the field.
Curry spit out his braces and said with confidence: "Of course there is no problem, sir, I am this year's MVP."
"This is a trivial matter."
"Very well, just keep this momentum, Stephen, go ahead."
"Okay, sir, I will do it." Curry straightened his belt and led the team onto the field.
In the last 27 seconds of the first half, the two sides re-entered the game and the Warriors had the ball.
The Warriors have slowed down their pace and seem to be trying to improve their success rate. Should they still choose the outside or change their style of play and go inside?
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The Warriors came back from a timeout and made substitutions. Curry was replaced again. Is this a pulling point or an ending point?" Yu Jia said: "Curry is controlling the top arc. He is consuming time. Well, should he do it by himself or by himself?"
...The Warriors' Thompson and Bogut came over to double screen? The Lakers' defender was too slow to lift the ball and it was too confusing. Curry got an opportunity. He dribbled the ball on the right side and then shot a three-pointer directly?
The goal...went in. The Warriors' Stephen Curry made a 3-pointer at the last moment of the first half, helping the Warriors regain the lead."
This was also Curry's 6th point in the first half.
After the goal, the Lakers didn't have much time. A three-pointer from the backcourt was shot, and bang~, the ball crashed. The halftime score was 50-53. The Warriors led by 3 points and entered the intermission.
However, this goal did not attract enough attention from the Lakers. Most people, including D'Antoni, were still thankful for catching up in the second quarter. And in a crisis, it is at this time that it is easiest to attack and let the
No one can guard against it.
D'Antoni wanted Tang Qian to come down and rest, but Tang Qian refused because he had a bad feeling. Curry's three-pointer just now seemed to be saying something to him. So just in case, he had to play.
Only then can you feel at ease. Tang Qian's feeling was right. Curry rested for a long time in the first half and didn't take too many shots. The storm came in the second half.
Splash Brothers, if one is opened, it will be fatal.
Once two are opened, the game is basically out of play.
Thompson's performance in the first half was as bad as the third game of the original Western Conference Finals. He took 15 shots in the first half and only hit 4, with a shooting percentage of 26.7%. What about three-pointers? 1 of 7, 14.3%. Shooter
No matter how strong you are, there will be times like this, which is why many head coaches and celebrities are not optimistic about shooters. At critical moments, if the touch is not there, then it will not work.
And the probability of it appearing at this time is much higher than the probability of other types of occurrence.
For example, as of 2018, Thompson has had 167 games with a shooting percentage below 40% in 7 seasons. If he plays long enough and is the main force during the decline period, he is likely to exceed 500 games in his career. This is
Or is it when he has Curry and other outside star players around him to attract defensive pressure? Otherwise, it will be even more unwatchable. What about the playoffs? Even more so, out of 102 playoff games, more than 42 games were below 40%.
A low shooting rate of almost 40%. This was also achieved when his scoring environment was very good. Otherwise, if Curry and others were removed and replaced in the confrontational environment of the early 21st century, he estimated that the season would be
The shooting percentage in the post-game was disastrous.
In this aspect, Curry is much more stable than him, so as soon as the Warriors attacked in the second half, Curry missed a mid-range shot. The Warriors widened the score difference to more than 5 points. As for the Lakers, Yi Key
Lian made a mid-range shot, which was one of the few shots he scored tonight. 52-55 points, still a 3-point difference.
Then the Lakers fell into a downturn, and the Warriors started an offensive wave. The person who started this wave was the Warriors' No. 30, this year's new regular season MVP, Stephen Curry. He assisted, stole, and shot a small shot during the defensive counterattack.
The score difference widened to 10 points. But the Lakers did not recover at all.
52-62, in just a few minutes, it went from being evenly matched to being trailing by double digits.
Tang Qian had no choice but to stand up and kill the basket again.
The Lakers also need him to score.
The next section can be regarded as the climax of the game, and many people watched it with great enthusiasm.
It doesn't matter whether you are a Lakers fan or a Warriors fan, because Tang Qian and Curry started to compete with each other. No matter when this kind of drama happens, it is very attractive and eye-catching. Otherwise, you think
Why does the NBA create so many "feuds"? Isn't it just to create a topic for the stars to fight against each other?
Tang Qian and Curry are not in the same position, but it will not affect the level of this exciting competition.
Compared with the amiable people, you hit me and I will hit you. This kind of grudge or battle of spirits is more irritating in this era and makes people's blood boil. Facing Jeremy Lin, Curry is simply arrogant. Jeremy Lin's
From his point of view, defense is just that. He is not Kobe, he is a shooter, so there is no need to open one-on-one unless necessary. As the strongest shooter in history, calling a pick-and-roll can easily solve the problem.
, he will not rely on his personal ability to fight hard.
Of course, the result of a head-on fight will never be very good. His one-on-one singles ability is actually not particularly strong, so this can be regarded as a style of play that exploits strengths and avoids weaknesses. Because Tang Qian plays inside, he also
Basically, there are very few people who can use screens and pick-and-rolls. When it comes to screens and pick-and-rolls, he goes out to do it for others. He rarely does it.
Curry shot after a screen, brush~, and hit the ball accurately. Tang Qian also responded on the offensive end. Pressing on the double defense of Green and Bogut, he continued to attack fiercely, killing people at the basket. And Tang Qian had just scored.
Not to be outdone, Curry directly started to make waves with the ball. When Curry makes waves, there is a certain chance that he will kill his own team, but there is also a high chance that he will directly beat the opponent.
After making a high pick-and-roll, Curry raised his hand and shot. The long 2-pointer appeared and fell into the Lakers basket.
Turning around, Tang Qian also wanted the ball, and he hit it hard, and succeeded again. This made Green so angry that he wanted to jump. After being stimulated to defend for the first time, he was beaten like this. There was still a situation of assisting defense... The most important thing is
The thing is, in the eyes of others, he is no longer there. He is fighting against No. 30 of his team.
This is so damn hurtful.
But it was useless to feel hurt, because now Tang Qian really didn't have time to pay attention to them.
Curry is also a guy who dares to be aggressive and dare to make waves. He is not the kind of reasonable ball or reasonable emperor. You should know this by watching Curry play. Although he is a pitcher, he just likes to make waves! Look at this ball
, it’s so wild. He raised it up right in front of Jeremy Lin. That’s right, it was in front of him. It wasn’t called a pick-and-roll, it was just a shot. This shot is unscientific and unreasonable no matter how you look at it, Jeremy Lin.
He wasn't even expected to shoot, but the basketball just got into the Lakers' net. There was a burst of white flowers.
After scoring the goal, Curry waved his hand, showing off his cuteness. Jeremy Lin thought this was the Curry from the 10-11 season in his memory. The Curry now is not the same one back then.
He did.
He is on his way to becoming the best three-point shooter in history.
Of course, you can also say that he is heading towards becoming the most prolific three-point shooter in history.
All of this is okay.
Tang Qian was also on fire. He caused a foul on Bogut under the basket and made 2 of 2 free throws, which also helped the Lakers continue to score.
And this is undoubtedly a declaration of war on Curry. Don't try to kill us easily and take away the victory.
What did this little kid Curry do? He walked to about half a meter from the three-point line, just pulled it up and threw it away! Wow, is there something wrong with this? Do you think you, Kobe, are so far away?
Just throw it away? You can't blame Jeremy Lin. Under normal circumstances, who would defend so far away? They all wait until the opponent is almost near the three-point line. This is also the league before Curry played "Curry has gravity"
Most defensive methods. If you really want to shoot, then just shoot. Anyway, the hit rate is very low and cannot be high.
Brush~Hit~The sound of the hit was like a cannonball, exploding in Jeremy Lin's ears.
Tang Qian was also a little shocked. Watching it in front of the TV and watching it live were completely different. This kind of projection really made people's eyes go straight. But fortunately, he also immediately hit a 2+1, under the basket.
His brutality is no worse than Curry's on the outside.
He thought that if he fought hard to hit the ball, Curry would definitely lose, but he forgot that this person was an exception when he went crazy.
He is really a master who can compete with the inside and hit the target.
Do you think you are joking? This is not Curry's ultimate state. He will maintain a state called "Curry Hao" for the entire season in the future, and then... you can see clearly. It's really not a fool. He is 190
+CM, a pure shooter with a thin body, actually shot the highest true shooting percentage in a single season! Well, why is it surprising that he is No. 1 in the league? He is No. 1 in history! Yes, No. 1 in history! It surpassed the original reason
The absolute field controlled by inside players! Even if it is only this season, it is amazing enough. He is an outside player. He is a pitcher. The true shooting percentage ranks first in history? More than Jordan? More than O'Neal? This is really... people feel
Not a human, but a superman.
Of course, this true shooting percentage calculation method is very advantageous for accurate outside three-pointers, because a ball is not multiplied by 1 but multiplied by 1.5. In addition, free throws are also something that defenders are good at but not good at inside, so Curry accounts for this.
It's a big advantage. But, again, if you can be the first in history in any data! That's not a mere mortal.
This means that among all NBA stars, your statistics are the strongest.
Big centers like Chamberlain are really bad because they don't have three-point weighting and free throws, but they suffer greatly in terms of true shooting percentage. Including Chicago No. 23, who can show off in any data field, he is a hot man, he is also in this aspect
A rare failure. Qiao Shen's career average true shooting percentage ranks 81st in history, 56.9%. This is what he achieved when he was young and achieved an invincible breakthrough. It is only 1.9% higher than Kobe's. What about Curry? His career exceeds 62%.
And the most frightening thing is that after he got the title of first in the history of true shooting percentage, 2 years later, he refreshed it again... I really don't know what to say.
Even though he has a lot of advantages in this artificial database, he is the only three-point shooter who can achieve this level.
Ray Allen can't do it, Thompson can't do it, and Miller can't do it either.
Regardless of whether he occupies the advantage of the era's cheap rules or something, he is the real benchmark and even the absolute king in the history of three-pointers. In this aspect, no one can compare with him. Naturally, he has not reached that level this season.
"Ku Hao" has reached the level of abnormality, and tonight he is obviously in a better state.
Let’s talk about something that Tang Qian may not even remember. In the third game of the Western Conference Finals, Curry scored 40 points, and his true shooting percentage reached 85.5%. You can experience it for yourself. If historical inertia adds up, Curry will
Tonight, it is estimated that he will not be easily cold-handed. Maybe using a super defensive master to guard him can reduce the impact, but the Lakers currently do not have such a person. Moreover, Curry is not the kind who insists on one-on-one.
Yes. If you're good at one-on-one defense, just play pick-and-roll screens. I'm a shooter anyway, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Who says that you can explode, but others can’t? This is coming.
Not long after, after Curry missed a shot, the Lakers scored. They thought they could finally catch up with the score difference, but then in the next round, the "wanderer" took another shot. Another shot from beyond the three-point line.
There was a three-pointer from a distance of more than half a meter. This kind of ball... it went in with a "swipe" sound. Jeremy Lin was completely stunned and disoriented tonight.
He really didn't expect that defending someone would have to start from such a distance.
But starting too far away doesn’t give the opponent too much room to accelerate and break through. Relying on the breakthrough ability brought about by shooting, Curry’s bonus in this area is probably the first in history. It’s all because of fear of his outside firepower.
I had to defend very tightly to avoid being stunned by this "little wave force" who would come up with a wave of consecutive three-point precision-guided attacks from time to time.
Especially in the stalemate stage, it hurts your sister's morale.
When Jeremy Lin saw Curry score again, he didn't know what Cole was thinking. He was simply crazier and bolder than Nelson. How could he allow a shooter to be so "chaotic"? What kind of mentality is this?
Ah, I don’t know what kind of mentality Cole has. Anyway, Jeremy Lin’s mentality is starting to collapse a bit. If he is played by Curry like this again, he will probably doubt his life after tonight.
Just one round later, Jeremy Lin made a mistake in passing the ball. Curry was chasing a three-pointer. Fortunately, he was punished for stepping on the line and only counted a 2-pointer. Otherwise, Curry would have scored another three-pointer.
After scoring a goal, he patted his chest against the Lakers, which meant, "How about it, are you awesome? Ha? Are you awesome?"
Tang Qian's low-post attack caused a defensive foul and he made 1 of 2 free throws. The situation was a bit bad.
Because this kind of rhythm is not the rhythm of winning. Without the pressure of the defensive system, Curry's off-ball and shooting are maximized. At the same time, he is indeed in great condition tonight. When the two are combined, this is what happens.
The current situation is exciting, but at the same time, terrifyingly accurate. "Magic" Johnson was watching the game from the sidelines, and with his experience on the court, he saw a lot of problems. And the most critical point is...
…The fight was too loose on the scene.
And the looser it is, the smaller the bonus for Curry is for Tang Qian. How can I put it? In this case, Curry can shoot a more exaggerated shooting percentage than the latter, because the three-pointer bonus is
The success is indeed not small. But when the defensive intensity is extremely strong, Curry's side will weaken, but Tang Qian's side will still be strong. That's why the current situation is actually a disadvantage for Tang Qian. But this is also
It’s not that the Lakers don’t want to defend seriously, it’s just that under the current rules, the Warriors basically play in a systematic way. If they don’t fight you one-on-one, it’s impossible to defend such a team without the ball without a system.
If you can stand it, it is impossible to increase the defensive intensity and power. Just like if a single person wants to defend the master without the ball in a 5-on-5 situation, it will be useless even if Jordan and Kobe are here. People rely on the system to operate, and you must also rely on it.
The system fights back.
And this Golden State Warriors team is obviously such a team that relies on the system to operate.
As for the Lakers... "Magic" frowned.
"The Lakers defended well in this round, leaving the Warriors with only 4 seconds left. They must seize the opportunity this time and launch a defensive counterattack. Otherwise, they will enter the fourth quarter with a 2-digit deficit.
, the pressure on the team was too much. The Warriors made this shot, which was very good and could be defended. Jeremy was very smart about this shot, knowing that there was no time and directly pushed Curry farther with his body.
This place should be safe. Curry's three-pointer was very accurate tonight and it was impossible to score." Lakers on-site commentator Bill McDonald said: "Curry has no time to attack, so he can only force it from a long distance.
Take a shot, prepare to grab the rebound... Uh, in, in, Stephen Curry of the Warriors made this super long-distance three-pointer. This is unscientific, this is unscientific." The commentary tone of this ball
The change is Curry's performance on the court. After the ball was made, facing Curry who was shaking his head, Jeremy Lin completely lost his mentality, and he would only get worse as he played in the future.
When Cole saw this, the controller's smile appeared again on his lips.
You have unscientific people. We do too. Sorry Los Angeles, victory is ours.
PS: Sorry, I’ve been really worried about work lately and can’t calm down when I go home at night, so I’ve put it off until now~
Although it is a big chapter, I still feel sorry for everyone. Xiao Zi is really sorry. Alas, saying annoying things to everyone affects everyone's mood. Xiao Zi will work hard to type. See you all in the evening~
