The Warriors played so exquisitely that many people were amazed, but the Lakers also made adjustments. After the timeout, they strictly implemented Larry Brown's tactical strategy. After missing a shot on the offensive end, they immediately retreated on defense.
, ignoring offensive rebounds at all, which reduced the Warriors' chances of trying to quickly find mismatch transitions. Then on the defensive end, Rondo stared at Curry, and Butler stared at Klay Thompson. After the pick-and-roll, a large number of defensive changes and supplements were used.
Defensive strategies to deal with.
It is best to force them into the inside to take shots, which in turn can interrupt the previous outside touch.
Moreover, the Lakers' defensive system is very good, and because of Tang Qian's existence, they can try to force their opponents inside, block one side, and let their opponents take shots as close to Lakers No. 29. Isn't this very similar?
A defensive model of the Spurs? Well, don’t mention it, it is indeed the case, except that the Spurs’ final defensive barrier is Tim Duncan. But this defensive model was not created by Popovich. It was originally
It was Larry Brown's masterpiece, but Larry Brown didn't stay with the Spurs for a long time, so he didn't gain much fame. Popovich just carried it forward and turned it into a defensive magic weapon for the entire Spurs team for 20 years.
one.
The Lakers' defense is working during this period. Faster positioning, faster rotations, and clearer pick-and-roll defense have all curbed the Warriors' scoring status to a certain extent. The Lakers are slowly shrinking.
The score is poor.
When Cole saw this, he made a change. Don't you want to rush to the outside first after being picked and rolled? Very good, then I will let you jump and make your own cocoon. How to do it? After Green screened and rolled to the outside, he passed the ball from the outside.
Out, Green made a three-point shot.
This set actually makes it impossible for many people to defend, especially when Curry and Thompson are feeling good, they really have to take action when there is a small opening. So after weighing the balance, they can only bet on Green.
Bet that Green will miss the shot. How can I say this? It is easy to say in other seasons, but this season, it is completely looking for shots. Why? In the Warriors' 73-win season, do you know what Green's three-point shooting percentage is? He
His career is only in the early 30s, which is actually okay. After all, he doesn't have many opportunities to attack tough shots, but he definitely can't be said to be very accurate. In the 73-win season, Green's sudden evolution also made the Warriors become unstoppable.
The key factor. If nothing else, Green's three-point shooting percentage this season is close to 38.8% and close to 39%. Just ask if you are afraid. This is already a top three-point shooting percentage close to 40%. Compared with his usual,
I don’t know how high it is. So if you want to let go of Green this season, you have to look for shots.
Green, whose three-point shooting percentage has reached the peak of his career, really dares to shoot you to death.
In particular, they played Green's ball-holding tactic in the top arc. As long as Green's three-pointer is on the line, it is extremely difficult to break down.
So... Green shot a three-pointer, brushed it, and scored again, breaking the Lakers' momentum of narrowing the score difference in one breath.
This is equivalent to breaking a part of Larry Brown's arrangement. Larry Brown looked a little gloomy when he saw this, but he did not choose to call a timeout because with the current lineup, it is impossible to cover everything. Because there is one point
Defensive rotation is a problem. A problem that is not visible at ordinary times will be highlighted when facing a super strong team. However, this point is one of the star players in the team, and the scoring firepower is an important point, so...
…
We can only bet that Green misses the shot. After all, compared to Curry, Green is much less of a threat.
The game has entered a stage that is not very good for the Lakers. It is not a good thing if it continues like this, so someone must step up and score. Withstand this wave. Tang Qian has been slow for a long time and wants the ball again. Now the Lakers are very
Success rate is needed. The Lakers' No. 29 is the greatest success rate guarantee for the entire Lakers team. When stable scoring is urgently needed, this season, Tang Qian has gradually become the Lakers' number one scoring point.
Green still wanted to repeat his old trick, pretending to defend and let Tang Qian pass the ball, but Tang Qian ignored the ball and hit it hard against Bogut. Bogut was really speechless. He is also one of the best insiders in the league.
He is an excellent defender. Even if he has no defensive ability this season, he is definitely not bad. After all, there are only two defensive positions in the center, and the competition is obviously greater than the other positions. But he really takes this
No. 29 had nothing to do. He had nothing to do in this game from beginning to end. What was even most annoying was... sometimes he knew exactly how the opponent was going to fight, but he still couldn't do anything.
Just like this ball, he had already judged it, but what? The opponent made a "tank breakthrough" and pushed him away.
It's just as hateful as the Cavaliers' No. 23.
No, it is more irritating and frustrating.
The Warriors used a large number of pick-and-rolls or illegal screens to make the Lakers' defense very unstable. It seemed that they would hit the "wall" wherever they were not careful. This feeling is extremely uncomfortable, but it is the Golden State Warriors' best performance this season.
One of the magic weapons for housekeeping.
Larry Brown was slightly shocked by the power of this tactic. He admitted that he still underestimated this "second-year rookie coach" and the evolution of tactics in the new era. Some things exceeded his expectations. The Lakers originally
For the first time in the season, the defensive system had a tendency to be broken. Larry Brown started to get serious, not just for this game, but also for several subsequent games with the Warriors and even the playoffs. This ball
The team is much stronger than he imagined, and it can be regarded as one of the strongest teams he has ever seen. The Lakers' team tacit understanding has not yet reached the level of the Pistons in 2004, and the more they deal with this kind of incompetence,
A team with a strong football team needs more tacit understanding and chemical reaction between the teams, or... make a surprise move?
But now, what to do?
Larry Brown became unusually quiet and stared at the scene motionlessly, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
The Warriors missed the ball and the rebound was protected by the Lakers. The Lakers gave it to Tang Qian and continued to play inside.
Tang Qian faced the basket and attacked, Green helped defend, but he was still hit by him, and he also hit a powerful dunk.
Green fouled, went to the free throw line, made extra free throws, missed, and the Warriors attacked.
The Warriors used another moving pick-and-roll, which made Rondo so angry that he almost exploded. He was knocked sideways and could only watch Curry take a step forward, shoot, and swipe~. Fortunately, it was just a long 2-pointer, otherwise it would have been more.
Depressed to death.
During this period, the Warriors used their unique skills. It has become very difficult to completely prevent them, at least it is impossible now. Tang Qian knows what to do. Now he needs to attack, stabilize the situation, and wait for the Warriors' shooter.
The team feels better. Other than that, there is no other way. The Warriors take advantage of the more mature and tacit understanding of the team. The more they play without the ball and the more they play on screens, the more the entire team needs to defend and contain them.
.The test is not just one person.
But the Lakers' team chemistry and team maturity are obviously not as good as the Warriors. This is usually not obvious, but now it seems that it has suddenly become a fatal gap. Other teams cannot grasp it, but the Warriors can.
Someone needs to hold on, otherwise the game will be over quickly.
Tang Qian started to play low singles continuously, and Bogut even tried to go around, but No. 29 is not Yao Ming. His athletic ability is the strongest among the big guys in the entire NBA history. If you want to use around to guard, then really
It's just to give points. Tang Qian directly asked Rondo to pass the ball deep, and he dunked the ball. Green gave up taking off the ball because it was impossible to defend it.
The Warriors set a double screen on the wing, and Curry stepped out, preparing for a three-pointer. This attracted two players from the Lakers to immediately rush over to kill. But don’t forget, Stephen Curry, in addition to being a super scorer, he is also a 1
Player at the No. 1 position. As the No. 1 position, have you forgotten about passing and distributing the ball? He is not that kind of pseudo-point guard. Curry's personal passing, organizing and assisting ability is not to say the best in the league, but it is enough to be called it.
Excellent. So he saw the opportunity and passed the ball back inside. Green cut from the wing and flew towards the Lakers' basket with the ball.
He has to pull up this ball and dunk it. The sprint space and take-off time are sufficient, enough for a big dunk.
Green's desire to perform has never been weak, so he will not miss this opportunity.
But he was only halfway through the flight when he was blocked by a huge figure. It was Tang Qian. After physical contact, he formed a palm with his five fingers and slapped Green's ball away. When the Lakers attacked, Tang Qian hit his back, then quickly turned inside.
Passed by Bogut, then held the ball with one hand and violently attacked the basket. Bang~
The Warriors' cut in the offensive round caused a foul on the Lakers, and they made 2 of 2 free throws.
Tang Qian broke through in the low post and attacked hard at the basket, causing Bogut to foul. He also made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.
After playing this back and forth for several times, Cole felt a little surprised, because the Warriors were indeed maintaining offensive efficiency, and there was no big problem in doing so. But, why did the score difference not widen?
?Isn’t this strange?
Logically speaking, it should have entered "garbage time" long ago.
Kerr saw No. 29 of the Lakers standing on the free throw line again, and he suddenly realized that it was No. 29 who was causing trouble.
Interesting, let’s see how long you can hold on.
The Warriors still used the same set of cutting and running + a lot of mobile screens. The Lakers missed a 3-pointer. The opportunity came out, but unfortunately, it was not made at all. This is also one of the problems of the Lakers, they lack three-pointers.
Regarding the stability of the ball, the most accurate player in the main lineup is Chris Bosh at the 4th position. Secondly, the main rhythm is also lost. Without a slow rhythm, the Lakers' three-point problem will become more and more obvious. The original defense
OK, this is not a problem, but now the defense is a bit ineffective.
Rondo knew very well that he had to bite at this time, so he gave a lot of balls to No. 29 inside, letting Tang Qian solve the problem by himself. There was no way, mainly because the Warriors not only had an unparalleled offense, but also led the league.
Their defense is also one of the strongest in the league. Therefore, Rondo is unable to directly assist on many goals. It is indeed difficult for a team that integrates offense and defense.
Generally speaking, everyone who knows football can now see that the Lakers were suppressed by their opponents and were at a disadvantage.
Because the outside line was inaccurate, the defense against Tang Qian became more and more strict, and the help defense became more and more intense. Under such circumstances, even if Tang Qian was fierce, it was impossible to keep all the balls in. After finally
After a foul was committed, the Lakers called a timeout. As soon as they came up, Larry Brown said: "Substitution will be made later. Enter Nick. Jimmy, please come down and rest first."
Nick Young replaces Butler? Why???
Can anyone tell us the reason? Nick Young himself finds it a bit incredible.
Larry Brown looked at Nick Young who was still a little confused and opened his mouth: "If you don't play well, you won't end up in the game. Do you understand?"
"Uh, I know, I understand." Nick Yang nodded when he heard this, but he still didn't know why.
Larry Brown took out the tactical board and said: "Don't look at me, look at the tactical board. The Warriors played very well during this period, and their screen really made me feel uncomfortable, but there was nothing the referee could do if he didn't blow the whistle.
Appealing is also something that happens after the fact. Now we have to do this..." Larry Brown said while drawing the tactics: "Do you understand?"
This, this is? To attack? To attack???
No, isn't it? Isn't this old stubborn the one who advocates defense and winning the most? Did he take the wrong medicine?
Larry Brown seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking: "The defense can't win now, and it can't be won without attacking. Let's talk about it after this period."
Let’s talk after this period again? But, can we survive this period? They are all professional players, and they know very well how terrible the team in front of them is. It is estimated that there are really not many teams that can stop them in the regular season this season. The Lakers.
Team, okay?
"The main offense is inside, and the others are waiting for the ball. Whoever is there to help defend will shoot a three-pointer."
So Nick Young was replaced to increase the power of three-pointers? Nick Young's three-pointers this season have reached over 40%, and he is indeed the one with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the current Lakers team. If you want to
There is nothing wrong with strengthening the three-pointer.
"In addition to being hot, you are all ready to shoot three-pointers. You are also Rajon. Didn't you say you have a secret weapon to show everyone? Now, I think it is time. This season, the Warriors are our formidable enemy.
." Rondo was stunned, he looked at Larry Brown and said: "Sir, are you really sure you want it now?" It seems that Rondo only told Larry Brown about this so-called "secret weapon".
"Right now, we don't need to keep it secret when dealing with other teams." Larry Brown seemed to have high hopes for this Lakers team: "We don't have many opponents this season, and this one is just one."
This was said in a domineering manner, as if there were only a few teams in the league that he liked.
If you give him the right lineup and cards, he really has this ability.
"Okay~" Rondo smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try. I've been impatient for a long time. Mr. Brown."
When he came on the court, Nick Young couldn't help but ask: "Rajan, what's the secret weapon? Do you still have a secret weapon? So tight?"
"We'll find out later." Rondo said: "I trained hard for a whole offseason just to smear the faces of some outsiders." Having said that, Nick Young became even more curious: "That's it.
Can't you tell me first?"
"No." Rondo refused without giving Nick Young any room for negotiation.

"Now the Lakers are in crisis. They have relied too much on Tang Qian." Meteor Rain said.
"The more the outside line cannot be opened, the more pressure it will put on the inside line, and the opponent can also shrink the defense." Zhang Weiping said: "Since there is no way to stop them at this time, we need to keep up with the offensive end. Tang Qian alone is one
Man, this is so tiring."
Tang Qian went back to the free throw line and made 1 of 2 free throws, but this was the first free throw missed, so the Warriors took a baseline kick.
The Warriors were still doing the same thing. After an impact, Curry took away too much of the Lakers' attention. The ball was given to Green. Bosh couldn't defend it, and Green hit the net with a three-pointer.
"Very good, a beautiful three-pointer. I can already see the goddess of victory waving to us in this game~"
"If the Lakers can't keep up with this, they will be taken away by us."
"Like taking away the last 15 games?"
"Yeah, it's like taking away the previous 15 games."
Tang Qian was holding the ball. As soon as he was about to take action, he found that there were at least two people around him preparing to help defend. It seemed that the perimeter was not accurate, which made the Warriors worry about shrinking the defensive circle smaller and smaller. Tang Qian distributed the ball very quickly.
, it depends on whether the outside line can go in, Nick Young catches the ball, three-pointer, brush~, hit!!!
"Yes! I really never miss~haha~" Nick Young is still such a gift, but his three-pointer is life-saving, allowing the Lakers' outside firepower to re-assert themselves. It's not that we can't make shots. The Warriors can't make them either.
It's better to stop suppressing Tang Qian so much, right?
The Warriors played the "ATO.Rop tactic", the full name is "After.Time.Out.Rpo". This tactic is a tearing tactic mixed with a large number of pick-and-rolls and screens. Mainly after the shooter escapes,
In the process of air cutting, it turns into a covering wall. When you are prepared, the effect may not be good. After all, the size and volume are there, but a sudden attack can have an unexpected effect. For example, Curry raised the bottom line
, the elbow area suddenly turned into a screen wall, and both Lakers players were restrained by him. Then the screen wall on the other side turned into Bogut's hand, brushing and hitting the ball into the net.
"Hot, you are going to lose." Curry directly demonstrated to Tang Qian, because in his opinion, the others did not have this qualification.
This time the Lakers attacked, Tang Qian held the ball in the low post, but found that the opponent adopted zone marking and fixed-point single defense on the outside. In other words, the low post inside still contracted the defense, but one person was assigned to guard the Lakers' Nick.
Yang Cole's reaction was really fast, basically not giving the Lakers a second chance. Pass the ball to Bosh. Green's counterattack speed is too fast, which can easily lead to a dead ball situation that wastes time. Bosh
Nowadays, if you want to beat Green in a one-on-one game, it is very difficult to score. Green has been a defensive presence in the original space-time league in the past few seasons. With the current Bosh, the success rate in singles is not too high.
Ariza also has Thompson to take care of him at any time. It seems that the defense is perfect, but there are still loopholes.
It's just this loophole. In Cole's opinion, it shouldn't be a problem.
That is the Lakers' No. 1 position, Rajon Rondo. Rondo has basically been released. If he doesn't enter the three-point line, there won't be much defensive attention focused on him.
This is like a comic book called Slam Dunk. The Lakers are a bit like Xiangbei. The most accurate points on the outside are taken care of one-on-one, and the low area of the inside is defended. Only the No. 1 position on the outside has the least defensive pressure, or even no defense at all.
There is no one 2 meters in front of me. How similar is this to Shohoku Miyagi in the comics? There is no basket.
I just want to let you go.
If you let go, you can strengthen the defense in other places, right?
Angry? Depressed? Who told you not to be accurate? Who can you blame? James has been targeted for his inconsistent mid-range shooting, let alone Rondo.
When Steve Kerr saw the ball reaching Rondo's hands at the top of the arc, he smiled in a low voice and said: "Mr. Larry Brown, I won this game." After saying that, he suddenly froze for a moment,
Because the point on the court where the shot was least likely to be taken, actually, he shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc? Is this a gamble on anger and luck?
It’s not just Tianchao Sports. The American media and netizens who watched the live broadcast on the Internet also cried out in sorrow:
Langshen, no, just be your "Miyagi" and don't learn to do what other people's "Mitsui" should do!
It's over! Rondo actually made a shot, and it was a three-pointer. It seems that the Lakers are really in trouble.
The Warriors are too strong and deserve to be a team that has not lost this season. Can't the Lakers even cause them trouble?
The Bay Area championship this year!!!
The Warriors' on-site commentator even started celebrating in advance: "Rondo made a three-pointer, are the Lakers ready to give up on themselves? What a pity, they are the opponent we have the most trouble with this season. I originally thought
I thought I would last until at least the fourth quarter."
"Okay, after all, I've persisted for so long, I still have to give them a thumbs up, right?"
"Rondo made a three-point shot, oh~ what a wonderful arc, I seemed to have heard the iron... hmm? Go in? Go in?"
Warriors on-field commentator Bob Gerrard almost had his tongue tied.
Rondo clapped his palms with a "self-surprised" expression that made people want to punch him.
This should be luck.
Not only everyone in the audience thought so, but Kerr also thought so. After the Warriors missed a shot, the defensive end continued the same style of play, with zone defense inside and one man on the outside targeting Nick Yang. Tang Qian saw the opportunity and returned.
The pass was passed to Rondo at the top of the arc. In front of Rondo, he was still within 2 meters and unmarked. Even Green said loudly: "Let him shoot! He wouldn't dare to shoot it anyway!"
This is because Rondo wants to take a shot, because Rondo's three-point shot is basically nothing.
At least that's how it used to be.
The result...swipe~entered again~
This, this is embarrassing.
Even the Lakers team was a little excited and said: "I wonder, are you lucky or have you really practiced three-pointers?"
"This is your secret weapon?"
"I can no longer call you center Long from now on. I should call you guard Long."
Rondo also pretended to lower his head and look at the sky at 45 degrees and said: "I am actually a natural shooter, but I didn't work hard before. Now everyone is forcing me, I can only do it with difficulty."
Although he looks like he needs to be beaten, it has to be said that Rondo's activation from beyond the three-point line allowed the Lakers to regain their energy, and also disrupted the Warriors' plan and attempt to end the game early.
Tang Qian himself was a little surprised, but if he had lived for one more year in his previous life, he would definitely know that starting from this season, Rondo's three-pointers have officially been improved and officially become an item in his arsenal. This season's three-pointers have been hit
The shooting rate has reached a career high, 36.5%. With such a shooting rate, if you let him 2 meters away, he will naturally be shot. What about next season? The original time and space has even reached a 37.6% three-point shooting rate. It even reached 17
In the -18 season, Rondo's three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs exceeded 40%! He became one of the biggest contributors to the Pelicans' breakthrough to the first round that year.
His shots of about 2+ are not high enough, but at least they are much better than the previous average of a few tenths per game. If you let him go for an open three-pointer, he really dares to shoot and go in now.
Rondo can hit three-pointers? What else is impossible in this world and in this future?
This game must be won!!!
