Chapter 1281 The fourth episode of Hu Yong's fierce battle season
At this moment, there is still a team from a city in California that is seriously preparing for the game. They are the Golden State Warriors, currently the number one team in the league. The Golden State Warriors have 55 wins and 5 losses this season. This record is already incredible. That year
The 72-win Bulls are not as strong now. Everyone is beginning to think that this season's Warriors really have a chance to reach the height of 72 wins. At least, 70 wins are also to be won. Curry is practicing a lot.
When it comes to three-point shooting, the accuracy and concentration are obviously higher than usual.
The Warriors played the Lakers this season, with 1 win and 2 losses. This made Curry very unhappy. He was already going to win this game with all his strength. Cole did not interrupt his star's desire to win, because the Lakers
This team is actually the team that he values the most this season. It even surpasses the San Antonio Spurs, which is currently ranked second in the league. Why he said this, Cole actually can't say clearly, because logically speaking, the Spurs
The biggest enemy is the second-ranked team, but he just feels that the Lakers are more threatening.
It’s hard to say specifically, it’s just a feeling.
So before the game started, he made special preparations before the game. It seemed that everyone was aroused by his words. Our Golden State Warriors are the team of kings this season. How could we be beaten by a ball?
What if the team loses three times during the season? This is absolutely intolerable. Therefore, we must win.
On March 6th, US time, the Lakers and Warriors will face off for the fourth time in the regular season at Staples Center in Los Angeles. So far, the Warriors have lost 5 times in the regular season and the Lakers have lost 12. How can I say this record?
The Lakers are not good, but the Warriors are too strong. They are unique in history. They are too domineering.
This season, the Lakers' battle with the Warriors has been almost fierce and exciting. Coupled with the grievances and grievances in the previous playoffs, both sides are now very unhappy. The fans and on-site commentators also booed loudly.
The voice shouted that the Warriors must lose.
"Hmph, the Lakers' home court is really noisy," Green said with some displeasure.
"Who makes them still lead in the regular season?" Although Curry didn't have much expression, the more he looked like this, the more scary it became, which made people feel a little hairy for no reason. "When we win this game, they will
We can't be so noisy." Curry shot a long three-pointer and said, "We must win this game."
Lakers warm up halftime.
"Tang, look at their expressions, they look like I'm the best, it's really annoying!" Nick Yang seemed to have made eye contact with Green across from him, and his voice was very emotional. "It's okay, wait a minute.
Just defeat them." Tang Qian threw a small hook from the low position: "Look at how proud they are as losers."
The league also attaches great importance to this game. There is a lot of pre-game publicity and a lot of momentum, which looks very enjoyable. The sophistication of the promotional video is obviously much better than the previous one. This is what Tang Qian and Curry want.
, both of them are very obsessed with defeating their opponents tonight.
T.N.T was responsible for broadcasting this game. They had not caught up before, but they were finally able to make a good grasp of it this time.
I don’t know what they were thinking, but they actually let O’Neal and Barkley serve as guest commentators instead of the original fixed pairing of the two. Sure enough, the two had a fight from the beginning. Barkley and O’Neal were really angry.
There have been fights and conflicts, and the private relationship is indeed normal. Being together is entirely due to work. Otherwise, do you think that what Barkley revealed in the 2018 interview was false?
He made it very clear, if it weren't for the money, I wouldn't work with this idiot.
Of course it may be a joke, but it will definitely make people unhappy if they are always told "You haven't won a championship".
"Okay~okay~ We are just talking about the advantages of each team now. I think the Lakers' advantage is also very obvious. The Warriors are very strong, but they are not invincible. It is a pity that Shaq has only defeated the Warriors twice this season.
Yes, the Los Angeles Lakers are one of them. Now it is very likely that it will become three times."
"You underestimate the Warriors too much. Charles. The Warriors have shown absolute strength this season. You have to know that even Jordan will take a nap sometimes. The Warriors lost to the Lakers twice before, that is,
Just accidentally."
"If you lose, you lose. There are so many excuses. The result will be known tonight. Whether it is 2-2 or 1-3, everyone will know at a glance."
The domestic Penguin live broadcast has already been filled with barrage before it even starts:
Dunk over the Warriors! The Warriors are scum!!!!!!!! Lakers championship!!!!!!!!!! Emperor Tang Weiwu!!!!!!!!
Only the sun can darken Ku Ritian!!!!!! He can shoot more accurately than Hou Yi!!!!!!!!!! Let’s shoot the Lakers!!!!!!!!!
Staples Center.
The two sides have arranged the starting lineup: the Warriors are still the classic one big and four small, because Green's height is really not "big". Bogut + Green + Barnes + Thompson + Curry. The Lakers are Tang Qian + Lan
Del + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. The referee threw the ball and the game started. The Lakers got the ball first. The Warriors were not surprised. They quickly completed their position and waited for the Lakers to attack. Last time the Warriors
The team made several big mistakes, which caused the team to be suppressed from the beginning. This time, Cole will never make it easily again. After all, he is also a man with super coaching qualifications and can be regarded as an absolute genius in the coaching world.
The Lakers were also prepared for a fierce battle. The Lakers did not score the first goal, and the Warriors' defense was still very strong. Both offensive and defensive efficiency were among the top three in the league. This kind of team is the offensive and defensive integration created by Cole.
He built the team based on this idea. So the defense, so to speak, has never been bad for the Warriors. It hasn't been so far this season.
After the Lakers' small coordination was blocked, the Warriors pushed quickly, but unfortunately the effect was not particularly good, because the Lakers also reacted quickly and positioned themselves in time. It seemed that they also put a lot of effort into targeting the Warriors.
The Warriors paused for a moment and gave the ball to Bogut in the low post. Of course, Bogut couldn't hit it. He didn't intend to actually play it himself. He just attracted the Lakers' No. 29 defensive position. Then
, and quickly passed it to Green who came down from the center. Green came in and made a layup. No, it was a pass, a jump pass. Green is only so tall, so his body inertia is not big, and his passing skills have skyrocketed this season.
, this tactic is one of the Warriors' tactics that is difficult to defend.
Green can conduct the whole team and has a good vision. Do you guard it or not? If you guard it, the ball will be passed. If you don't guard it, the ball will definitely be shot. Do the Warriors want to get the first blood? No,
Although Green's defender Randall was covered without the ball, the Lakers quickly switched defenses and allowed Ariza to switch over. Ariza saw that Tang Qian had formed an effective defense, and immediately changed his pace and went to
To the other side. This is the side where Green passed the ball. Green's play style is very clear. It is a typical inside break in basketball, allowing Barnes to come over and hit the ball.
Tang Qian hasn't turned around yet. The chance of scoring this goal is high? Big? Who said that?
Just as Barnes was about to take action, he felt that his path was being delayed. Although he could still forcefully take action, he had lost the best time to take the initiative. Barnes took off to attack the basket, and the ball...
A big block. Ariza bought Tang Qian time to react, so he turned around and it was a big block.
But the ball was taken by Klay Thompson of the Warriors. He wanted to hit it but before he could take any concrete action, someone stuck it in front of him. It’s not that Thompson couldn’t hit with the ball, but it was still too reluctant to hit Butler.
The firepower with the ball is limited. Thompson thought about it and passed the ball. Anyway, it is not a few years later, and the second attack still takes 24 seconds. The time is very sufficient.
The Warriors went to the corner to double-cut each other, but they did not get a chance and were still pestered by the defender. Curry also reacted quickly and simply used the trick to let the two double-cut players stay in the corner.
, at least it can open up some space under the basket in the low post. Then Curry asked for a pick-and-roll and went straight down.
Is this an offense? No, this is attraction. Curry attracted the defense and then read the defense. The Lakers were slightly attracted, and he found an opportunity to pass the ball. Randall did not keep up with Green who suddenly cut inside. Green
Jump shot from the edge of the penalty area. Brush~hit.
"Oh my~ I'm sorry about the heat~" Randall took the initiative to take responsibility. He was a little careless on this shot. The Warriors' ability cannot be underestimated.
"It's okay, just defend well." The Lakers opened the wing screen, Rondo passed the ball, and Randall took the ball. The ball collided with Bogut, and Bogut blocked him with his body.
This blocked his view of the shot. Green's ball came over at some point. This is Green's ability. He is very fast and accurate in assisting defense. This ability cannot be directly reflected in the data, but everyone who has watched his ball knows it.
You know, he is the most indispensable part of the Warriors' defense.
He connects the entire structure of this Warriors team, not Bogut or anyone else.
Is this ball going to be lost? It seems so. Randall was caught in a low double-team. Just when Randall was a little helpless, a voice suddenly shouted: "Throw it~" This was shouted in Chinese, but
Now everyone in the Lakers team knows the meaning of this Chinese character. During training, they must have practiced it many times. Randall just throws the ball when he takes it. Because he only needs to throw a general direction and is not a shot, he can still throw it reluctantly.
Out.

"This ball was missed~ This Randall was too far behind." Zhang Weiping complained.
"Randall had no choice but to direct the ball... Oh, it was caught by Tang Qian. The ball was in a very bad position, but Tang Qian still relied on his long arms... dunk, dunk!!!!
!!!The alley-oop dunk was successful!!!!!!! So beautiful!!!!!!”
"Thankfully it was Tang Qian, otherwise Randall would have made a mistake again." Zhang Weiping added.
At the scene, Tang Qian said: "Good pass."
This made Randall just nodded with a blushing face and quickly returned to defense.
This place shows the Warriors' understanding of pick-and-rolls and screens. They are the first in the 21st century to skillfully apply pick-and-roll screens to the entire team. And their research on this aspect is astonishing. They are still the first in the league to use pick-and-roll screens.
Before they started to focus on this aspect, the Warriors were already far ahead. For example, in this ball, Bogut suddenly changed positions during the pick-and-roll, made a false block, and then directly passed down.
Tang Qian Randall wanted to give chase, but found that his focus was suddenly wrong and he was off track.
Watched Bogut score this goal.
"You..." Randall was about to get angry, but Bogut didn't care at all. Instead, he joked: "A rookie, you don't even know how to play in the NBA? Let's study for a few more years." Randall was very popular, but
Tang Qian saw the situation clearly from the low position just now. It was Bogut who pushed slightly when he was blocking the pass. No, the push was not appropriate. He pushed Randall slightly and then started to move. That's why this happened
It feels like it's obviously not very fast, but Randall didn't follow up. A false block and a pass? This is really possible. Bogut's pick-and-roll master is really not for nothing.
4-2, the Warriors took the lead. It seems that the Warriors have done a lot of detail in this game in advance. It is not the same as the previous games, just playing some large-scale tactical ball. This change is very successful, allowing the Lakers to
The defense was not very comfortable from the beginning. In the first five minutes, the Warriors pressed the Lakers and scored 18 points, which was very high in recent Lakers games. Larry Brown called a timeout and did the same.
Some targeted arrangements were made, but the effect was still not good enough. Because the opponent made a few quick shots after switching defenses at this time, the Warriors' score increased to 24 points. Larry Brown frowned, and he found that he still underestimated his opponent.
, this young head coach is not simple. His targeting effect is very good.
It gave the Lakers a head-on blow from the beginning, catching the Lakers a little off guard.
To overcome this, it actually requires awareness, normal training, and motivation. As long as you pay attention, you will not be easily pushed away. After all, if the movement is too large, the Warriors will be punished for a foul. Therefore, Tang Qian made the next round
He set an example. It seems that the Warriors are trying to break the Lakers' intense pressure, but it is not impossible to deal with it. Tang Qian is now playing a very classic defense. And he has changed a whole world by himself.
The team’s defensive system.
Ordinary fans will certainly not be able to tell the difference, but insiders can. For example, Barkley said loudly:
Dongfang Tang did a terrible thing! He changed the team's defensive system alone!!! Oh my God!!!
O'Neal said bitterly:
Anyone can force a change, it just depends on whether it collapses or not.
Indeed, what Tang Qian is doing now is a bit of a tightrope walk. He starts to exert his super defensive ability alone. What is super defensive ability? For example, Garnett, everyone says he has his own defensive system, what do you mean? Look.
Looking at the data, it seems that he is okay in terms of blocks, steals, rebounds, etc., but he can't be said to be particularly top-notch. Well, I'm getting to the point. That's because as long as he is on the court, the team's defense can change in many ways and deal with various attacks.
Mode. What Tang Qian is doing now is what Garnett did in the Timberwolves and Green Army, which is to surround the area below the high post with single-player combinations.
It sounds a bit awkward, but it's actually not difficult to understand. The Warriors suddenly blocked the ball and made a small push, which seemed like they could drive straight in. Then, those who went down would find that there was suddenly a wall in front of them.
The wall was still a high wall with claws and teeth. Tang Qian blocked it, forcing Green who came in to slow down, and then gave Ariza time to pursue the defense and complete the matchup again. Green was not so easy to mess with, and he immediately passed the ball.
When the ball goes out and you want to let the other side take a shot, you will find that the other Curry has just entered and was blocked by someone.
Curry passed the ball out, and Bogut passed the ball in the middle and was about to dunk!
As a result, he received a huge blow.
In this round, Tang Qian perfectly helped the team seal off the Warriors and let the Lakers get the ball. This kind of defense made Green a little dazed, Curry a little too, and Bogut even more. Because this was clearly done on his own.
, filling the defensive gap of the entire team. Although it is impossible to do it every time, it is also very distressing. Green even shouted in his heart:
I know how to do this!!!!!!! I have also practiced it!!!!!!!!!
But his rim protection is not as good as that of Tang Qian, so it is more of a entanglement rather than a real single-point strong seal. There is a difference. Tang Qian, who can see below, Larry Brown nodded slightly and said: Offline and
The single man on the flank forced the cover. This guy seemed to have hidden a lot during this time.
He is truly the ultimate gem for a defensive team.
With Tang Qian as an example, Larry Brown quickly adjusted his defense, piling more players toward the free throw line and corner areas, and then asked Tang Qian to stand alone under the basket and prepare to take action at the right time. Just like Garnett back then.
The Lakers' defense gradually regained its strength, and the Warriors' shooting percentage began to drop.
When the main time of the first quarter ended, the Warriors only scored 27 points, and only scored 3 points in a few minutes. Although there was still more than 2 minutes of bench time, this period was obviously contained. The Lakers
, it’s really good enough.
Cole was thinking off the court, and his desire to win in this game was even more ignited.
The Warriors won this game too easily, so it's time for a strong team to play against each other.
The Lakers are his first choice.
He ordered a few people, gave some instructions, and started the game again.
PS: A big chapter is here~ A battle between strong teams, are you looking forward to it? If you are looking forward to it, please give me more support~~~ It’s been very hard recently~ Wuwuwu~
