Both sides entered the state from the beginning and played very excitingly. The quality of the offensive and defensive rounds was very high. Even if they didn't get involved, it was still dazzling to watch. The people ESPN invited for this game were Van Gundy Jr. and Chriss.
Weber. Weber is a typical "Tang Hei" and has been like this since he joined the league. He also echoed and praised some of ESPN's bullshit soft articles. For example, in the early days, Hei Tang Qian was a blue-collar worker with a low upper limit. Now Hei Tang Qian is
Playing purely with the body, without any skills, will become useless after a short time. The body functions of yellow people cannot hold up.
Don't think that these soft articles are just random writing, then they are not ESPN. They use examples and data to make you feel, well, this seems to be the case. But at least Van Gundy is not a "Tang Hei", because
Because he had coached Yao Ming, he actually had a "natural" fondness for Tang Qian.
"Look at this shot, it's the subtlety of the Lakers' defense. First there were two exchanges in the middle, and then No. 29 was the key. He first stayed in the penalty area for 2.9 seconds, and then came out and went in again.
The set is really good, allowing him to stay in the penalty area for a long time, but this requires the inside player to have good time and distance judgment, and the mobility must not be bad. If I were coaching the Rockets, Yao could do this.
, we will definitely go further. Then look at this, No. 29 first went up to make up for the middle, and then came down immediately. Seeing that Ariza and Butler's substitutions were not completely in place, he immediately went to the left side again.
Don’t underestimate this step, it’s just the details that make it difficult for Curry to pass the ball directly, creating a sense of fear. At the same time, it’s not over yet. When he finally returned to the basket, he pushed the Warriors’ Green and let the Warriors pass the ball.
Green was destroyed the first time he came in to provide support, and finally completed the defensive interference, causing Bogut to miss. It seemed to be just a simple defense, but in fact he did a lot of things in the process. Such a player is simply perfect.
When it comes to defending the inside, I think except for Kevin Garnett back then, very few players can do it to this level. And don't forget, his rim protection is much better than Garnett's." Jeff.
Van Gundy was getting more and more excited as he talked. He wished he was coaching Tang Qian and the Los Angeles Lakers.
"So that's it. Mr. Van Gundy's analysis is very detailed. He deserves to be an NBA head coach." Rachel Knicks said: "So Chris, what do you think?" Weber held a different view.
Said: "I think the Warriors' offense was very beautiful. Although they didn't score at the end, basketball is not just about scoring goals. As long as they hold on after one miss, the Lakers' defense will definitely be torn apart.
Defense is always passive." Webber is a supporter of the Kings' Princeton style of play. He likes the gorgeous offense, so even if Tang Qian's factor is eliminated, he still prefers the Warriors to the Lakers.
The Lakers' defensive-oriented, slow-paced style of play made him feel awkward and not smooth at all.
What he wants is quicksilver, not toughness. Well, he himself has never been a tough player.
Many people were watching this game. Whether they were ordinary fans or people in the industry, they were all shocked by the super high offensive and defensive quality of these two teams. After all, everyone knows that when the game first started, they were just testing.
, the real release of strength is still to come. The two teams are so strong just for testing. Are there really many teams in the league that can compete with them?
Except for a few teams with strong self-esteem, the other 20 or so teams are all a little "shattered" and "trembling" by the Lakers and Warriors. Including the San Antonio Spurs, there is no game today, and their head coach
Popovich was also watching this game. For him, the biggest opponents in the Western Conference are the Warriors and Lakers. But he ignored the Thunder a little. The original Spurs died with only 55 wins this season.
On the Thunder.
Having said that, the two sides entered into a stalemate at the beginning of this game. Cole chose to take the initiative to change. The Lakers' defensive energy is indeed very strong. They are the league's top defensive team. It is not an exaggeration. Ordinary methods are not easy to deal with. Although
, and he didn’t think that the Warriors team he was in charge of would lose to the Lakers. They had only lost 3 times since the start of the season. This kind of great achievement has already surpassed Chicago’s 72-win Bulls in the same period. So he is confident, Kerr
There definitely is.
Cole replaced Barnes and replaced him with Livingston. Although Livingston is a defender, there is no problem with his height. He is as high as 201cm, which is enough to compare with Barnes. After all, the latter is only 203cm. And you
If you look carefully, you will find that Livingston is taller than Barnes. Because Livingston's height is actually 201cm naked, and with shoes, it is normal to reach 203~204cm. But Livingston
There are no three-pointers, and the substitution should be able to alleviate the defensive pressure of the Lakers a little... Many people think so. But Cole's ball let Livingston come up to let him attack.
Focus on the No. 1 position.
Curry + Thompson restrained him and asked him to play the Lakers' No. 1 position, Rajon Rondo, in isolation.
This change of move made many people confused, but Cole had absolute confidence to do it. Everyone underestimated this once-injured "coquettish year". He is now the strongest back player in the league.
Physical efficiency, third in the league!!! Including all insiders, this... is too scary. But if you look at his mid-range shooting percentage this season and the proportion of mid-range shots, he is a solid mid-range maniac.
Ah. More than 50% of his mid-range shots are taken, and no one else has this ratio. The most important thing is that his mid-range shooting rate exceeds 52% this season!!! It is a lot higher than last season!
Damn, are you mistaken! This guy has quietly become a master of mid-range back-up play.
Coupled with his calm mind, his ability to stay calm when the wind is blowing, and when the wind is blowing, he is determined to charge forward for Cole's wisdom. It is simply a super perfect championship puzzle. However, Rondo's defensive skills have returned to their peak this season, and Livingston
It shouldn't be that easy to play. That's what the Lakers thought, including Rondo himself, who thought the Warriors were "nervous."
Let a substitute player beat you alone? There is something wrong with your brain???
But after Livingston caught the ball, he made a back movement, rocked from side to side and pushed his back, and instantly leaned back.
Rondo was at the top, but he was not slow to adjust. After all, Livingston's tonnage was not large, and the purpose of backing up was not to go deep. So Rondo relied on his defensive skills and quickly pounced on him. But he found
, I can't actually reach the ball. Yes, Rondo's wingspan has reached an astonishing 213CM, which is extremely amazing and makes up for the height problem. But Livingston's wingspan is also a monster in the 1st position.
Level. Up to 211cm. In this case, the 2cm difference cannot offset the difference in height of nearly 20cm. Livingston easily leaned back into the net and helped the Warriors to score and break the game.
The Lakers didn't care. It was just a ball. How could they not score? The next ball, the Lakers hit a corner, but unfortunately the Warriors saw through it. Green was close to Butler, and Butler was hit by the shot.
There was a lot of interference, and the shot crashed out of the basket. The Warriors got the backcourt rebound and advanced quickly.
"Hurry up and get back on defense! Keep an eye on Curry and Thompson!!!"
The "Splash Brothers" of the Warriors have always been the focus of fast breaks. Otherwise, the two of them would hit three-pointers after catching the ball. This is unbearable. People use quick push to kill the basket, but they directly hit the basket.
Throwing long shots. This is also a major feature of the Warriors' quick push. If anyone else does this, they will definitely be scolded by the head coach. It's such a waste. But they are the "Splash Brothers", and the head coach is Cole.
, nothing is a problem.
How many teams have been completely destroyed by these two defensive counterattack three-pointers this season? Countless. That’s why the Lakers are so anxious to guard them. And this made Cole laugh off the court and said
:Great, that's it, now it's up to you, Sean, to show them your more refined scoring ability this season.
I underestimated you, but you will have to pay a heavy price.
The Warriors' strong-side arrow attracted, but Green dribbled the ball directly to... the weak-side wing? Where is...
Back up, move your feet, lean forward, retreat directly + shoot backwards.
Brush~Hit~
Rondo simply felt that he had been insulted. He was beaten so much by a player who had been "crippled" in the past, and his face was completely shattered. However, he had to admit that this guy made it difficult for him to defend, extremely uncomfortable.
Not to mention that my skills are very refined, they just rely on their height to beat you hard. No matter what steps, what defensive awareness, what reactions, it’s all useless. I just post up to you, play singles, fall back, and score. This set
It's the same as Tang Qian's inside attack by relying on his body. Moreover, the technique of leaning back is originally used to ignore the defense and forcefully attack. If you can't block the ball, it will have little impact on the mentality of the offensive players.
, the shot will be smoother and easier.
It’s even the same as normal training, just fight as you should, and be 100% normal.
After Livingston's back-up was further advanced this season than last year, Cole directly told him that those shorter than him should hit directly and sit directly. Before your hit rate drops and before the opponent changes their strategy, you have unlimited right to fire.
If these words were said in other teams, it would definitely arouse relative dissatisfaction among the core players, but here is the Warriors, and the core "Splash Brothers" are the kind of people with very little individualism, so for Cole's
It was decided that they were very supportive.
Seeing that everyone in the team supports him, Livingston has a stronger sense of belonging to the team. At the same time, he practices this "three-axe" day and night. As long as the team needs it, he can immediately go up and show off his power. The original time and space relies on Livingston
, how many deadlocks have the Warriors broken and how many times have they disrupted their opponents' defensive arrangements? Countless. In addition to the ultra-high shooting percentages in various single games in the playoffs, they can even hit 100% in several games in the finals.
Come out...the straight-arm fadeaway jumper has also become a signature label of Livingston.
He is definitely a part of the Warriors' X-factor.
I really can’t believe that no team wanted this kind of player at that time, so Kerr of the Warriors got him.
In this game, Cole used him to attack the Lakers' defense from the beginning, making the seemingly indestructible Lakers No. 1 Rondo less impregnable. This is the head coach's ability to adapt to situations.
What can I say about Cole? Sometimes he is a god, and sometimes he is a ghost. Sometimes he is frighteningly stubborn and stubborn, and sometimes he uses strange moves to catch his opponent off guard.
Rondo still doesn't believe it. His defensive skills have recovered very well this season, which is close to the peak of the Green Army in previous years. In addition, he is only 29 years old, which is the golden age. How could he not be able to defend a substitute player.
Rondo is also the master of arrogance. He began to increase his defensive efforts, just to prevent his opponent from taking a look. But Livingston saw Rondo's plan and saw the anger in the latter's eyes. He was very smart.
He retreated and then instantly twisted forward, colliding directly with Rondo, who was charging at him angrily. Then, relying on his height advantage, he threw the ball.
After hitting the board, the basketball rolled a few times and fell into the net bag.
Beep beep~ Rondo was also charged a personal defensive foul.
This is Livingston, the Warriors' wonder player. He can play a few games without taking many shots, or he can score more than ten or twenty points in a game. Whether it is the regular season, the playoffs or the finals, he is always so hardworking and uncomplaining.
He is definitely an inspirational example of how to play again after a serious injury in the NBA.
Coupled with his lack of enthusiasm, many teams in the league are now poaching him, but if he says that the Warriors have opened the contract, he will not leave. This makes many team managements feel regretful. The Warriors don't know
Unconsciously, a team culture and a sense of team belonging have been formed, which none of the previous Warriors coaches have achieved. Building a perfect and harmonious team is actually sometimes a manifestation of a head coach's work ability. This
One point, Cole admits that he is learning from Popovich and the Spurs, because he believes that this system is very motivating for non-star players. Look at why the Spurs are so good at cultivating role players, that is the problem
Kerr was coached by the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson + Popovich. In addition, he really learned from each other's strengths and complemented each other's weaknesses. The combination was good, and the current Warriors team was created.
The Lakers called a timeout.
Larry Brown felt the extraordinary power of this young rookie head coach. This was a kind of genius impact. It seemed that this person was born to be an NBA head coach. This talent is really amazing. But after coaching for so many years, I also
We are not freeloaders. Young people, let’s fight to see who is more powerful.
On my side, I still have a trump card that I haven't come up with yet. Don't worry, don't worry.
Larry Brown replaced Rondo and replaced him with the veteran Pierce. Although Pierce is older, Livingston is not a good physical player. The back-up technique is not easy to use against Pierce, who is about the same height. After all,
Pierce is also an expert in this kind of routine, and he has a bigger heart and is tougher.
The Lakers use Butler to control the ball, which is equivalent to reducing the tactical operation and making the game simpler.
After replacing Pierce, the effect was indeed different. Pierce first used his tonnage and experience to beat Livingston in the low post, and then successfully defended him once on the defensive end. Livingston hit the iron, and Pierce defended successfully. Kerr smiled when he saw this.
He smiled and said, old man, you react very quickly, but the older generation is used to surpass.
Don't think this can stop us.
Cole made a tactical gesture, which was to change the offensive style.
