Chapter 1408 The strongest outside lineup in history?
Basically, when fighting the Warriors before, the process was like this. Assist in defense and focus on suppressing Curry, and let the others decide the winner. This move is very expensive, not worth playing in the regular season, and the scale cannot keep up. But now
The playoffs are delicious medicine. Larry Brown of the Lakers has already felt the difference. The Warriors are now... not afraid that Curry will be surrounded by key players.
Didn’t you see that Curry was just taking a walk when he came up tonight? He was just saying, come on, double-team me, help defend me, and continue the same as last year~ Look, I’m not scared yet~
Normally, in such a situation, Curry would have to get rid of it and run wildly in order to get open opportunities. Otherwise, no one can hold the ball well. Tang Shen is practicing this now and has improved, but it is still not stable enough.
.That’s why there was the previous situation of frantically surrounding Curry and preferring to let the other Warriors attack. This can be regarded as a trade-off. Rather than letting Curry open up and revitalize the entire team, it is better to let the rest of the team attack.
If you perform well, if you lose, then forget it.
Especially the Lakers. They have strong defensive capabilities and many single defense points. In addition, they have sufficient personnel and frequent substitutions, so they will not take too much into account of physical problems. They can be considered a good player by killing the Warriors. The standard of the playoffs.
Next time, it was even more like this, taking a big advantage. The 4-0 sweep was proof that even if Tang Shen's "Buddha came", it didn't help the Warriors win a game.
Because except for Curry, the others are not very useful under high-intensity defense.
"Curry has gravity" on the offensive end and "Green Effect" on the defensive end. These are the two magic weapons of the Warriors. Losing one is equivalent to breaking a leg. You can only move forward with a limp. Curry also suffers from physical problems.
The problem with conditions is that they are not very good at breaking this kind of joint strangulation, and their shooting percentage dropped significantly under high-intensity defense. Last year was the best example, whether it was the original time and space or the current time and space. Therefore, the Warriors only competed with the team this season.
Durant, hit it off immediately.
The purpose is to completely solve this hidden danger on the offensive end.
And now it seems that it will have a much bigger chain reaction than simply adding Durant. What do you mean? That is to say, now, look at Curry, he is basically resting in place, running slowly, and occasionally
He ran a few highly threatening air-cutting runs, but this also attracted at least one and a half defenders from the Lakers. An original defender, someone who is always ready to cover and switch defenses. Why? Don’t forget the Warriors
Well, they are playing a no-ball system. In this case, how can one person guard against it? The Warriors' pick-and-roll quality has always been very good. If you block it, you have to make up for it or make substitutions. Otherwise, you dare to give Curry room to shoot.
Even a tiny bit?
So the effect is that Curry alone can involve at least one and a half Lakers defenders. This is the Lakers. If it were any other team, they would have to die. Two are few. And Curry
Here, the "Ku has gravity" was easily completed, and then all that was left was for Durant to attack with the ball, and then use Tang Shen to pull away in the same way. Green also did the same. This was not even the fifth grade, and it was already overwhelming.
Already.
Curry attracts one side, Tang Shen ambushes on the flank or in the bottom corner, and also tears one side. Green tops the arc and Durant shoots with the ball. The person guarding Durant is Ariza. Ariza's defense is very good, but he has to defend alone.
Durant, then you are really overthinking. If nothing else, Durant's scoring ability is definitely at a historical level. This black mark is meaningless. He is just not in good physical condition, so it is difficult for him to shoulder the high-striking ability.
Score. However, that is under normal defensive conditions.
What are normal defensive conditions? In a game, there are a lot of assist defenses and flanking defenses. That is the "normal defensive conditions". For scorers of their level, this is it. The whole process is single.
Defending is a desperate act, almost to the point of "defending alone is like being open". It's really either that Ariza is not strong, or that Durant's scoring ability is too strong.
Now that the Warriors' Splash Brothers are helping him open up space, tell me, isn't his defensive pressure suddenly reduced?
Why does Yuanshikong say that Durant has proved that he can actually go better by following the path of James?
The data efficiency is better, consecutive championships are easy, and even the dynasty is just around the corner. As long as there are enough outside stars to help attract defensive pressure, he can easily perform like "Death God". Now, the Lakers feel
When I feel this pressure, I want to go over and help Ariza, but... who can get away?
Curry or Ariza, who do you dare to leave easily? If you take a small step away, their open space ability is enough to give you a three-pointer. Green has not been bad in three-pointers this season, and there are still three-pointers in the regular season.
More than 30%, more than 40% in the playoffs, we can't just let him go like in the later seasons of the original time and space. Letting him go now would be courting death.
The most important thing is that this allows the Warriors to conduct multi-line operations on the field.
The multi-line operation mentioned here is that when Durant is holding the ball, Curry is also not idle, doing off-ball containment and off-ball attraction, and even running tactics to prevent the Lakers from dividing their forces. The same goes for Cole.
In response to last year's failure, he worked hard this year, and the 73-win defeat was a bit difficult for him to accept.
This season, if you have all the cards in your hand, you must kill the Lakers.
Look at the pick-and-roll between Curry and McGee without the ball. Curry is running around here, and Durant comfortably raises his hand to cum in the face, swipe~, and scores again. Let me tell you, this is because the Lakers have a giant inside.
Ba, it’s because of Tang Qianqian, the best insider in the world. Otherwise, with this style of play just now, the opponent can at least make one more deformation choice. For example, after letting McGee cover, he directly chooses to cut inside without the ball, so
Once Curry attracts people, it will be easy to miss him.
This was a relatively common tactic in the Warriors' first few games. It was not effective just against the Lakers, so it was used less often. Otherwise, it would be easier to disrupt the defensive formation. Plus Durant is here.
Later, the Warriors' defense on the line became even more powerful. Durant is still a star after all, and his defensive ability is still good. He can't get defensive formations because his defense is not consistent and good enough. It's not that he can't defend in a short period of time.
.
Generally speaking, the basic abilities of stars are higher than those of ordinary players. Unless they are full-time defensive warriors, in comparison, the defensive abilities of other stars are much higher. After Durant came to the Warriors, because
The defensive pressure has suddenly been reduced too much, so defense, which was difficult to balance in the Thunder, can now be invested in more without being too tired.
After he came to the Warriors this year, his blocks immediately hit a career high, currently exceeding 2+ times, and his original average finally stabilized at 1.6 times per game. As an outside line, he is quite strong. He also plays less time and is more physically fit.
abundant.
Isn't this it? The Warriors suddenly attacked on the line, and Butler was in trouble. He didn't handle the ball in time and made a mistake. Then you saw four black figures, directly impacting the Lakers' half. The last emergency stop was three seconds.
Analyze and solve problems.
There was another ball. Durant and Tang Shen did a x-screen pick-and-roll between them. As soon as the two separated, Tang Shen got a chance. Although it was only a little bit, it was enough for Thompson to take action. Fortunately, it was only half a shot.
It was a basket, not a three-pointer. If it hadn't been for the Lakers, this ball would probably have been a wide open shot, but even so, it still missed a shot.
Strong, really strong. Even though they only added one player, they completely changed the Warriors team.
Once their final shortcomings are filled, their combat effectiveness will increase dramatically.
Even Tang Qian didn't expect to be as strong as this! It seems that their previous games were mainly about running in, just playing casually. When the Lakers compared with them, they seemed a lot monotonous. They were originally very good.
The combination of inside and outside, Tang Qian + Butler's inside and outside combination, is now a bit disconnected because of Butler's offensive attack. Don't forget that the Warriors' defense is still among the top three in the league.
This was also achieved when the inside line was not strong enough. Needless to say, the outside defense was strong.
It is still a team that integrates offense and defense. With the introduction of Durant, the Warriors still have not forgotten defense.
Cole really has a way of building a stable team system, and it's not just a cover-up.
We did not rely on superstar ball just because of the introduction of Durant. The passing and defense are still there, and the losses in the regular season are kept to a minimum as usual. The sense of participation among the role players is also very high, and they will not appear disengaged and weaken their enthusiasm.
The Lakers' offense was not particularly smooth in the first quarter, and their defense did not adapt well, so they lagged far behind in the first quarter. Fortunately, fortunately, the Lakers' bench was strong, and the Warriors' bench was not weak, ranking among the top in the league, but they were still tough.
However, this year's Lakers bench has some internal defense, and several defensive levels or quasi-defense formations on the outside, as well as support and singles. This wave made the Warriors' bench a little difficult to withstand. The score difference has caught up a little.
Fortunately, Livingston hit two back-up shots in a row, otherwise, the Warriors would have led by less than 7 points in this quarter.
The first quarter was 20-27. To be honest, the rhythm was not particularly fast. It may be because both sides were still testing each other and joining hands. How can I say the fight was going well? Some of them did not let go. This is also in line with the first order between strong teams.
The conversation was quite cautious. But even so, the head coaches of both sides still saw something about each other.
Then I silently calculate in my mind the next moves and contingency plans.
The Lakers took advantage of the substitute time, but because Cole brought Curry in advance and asked him to lead the bench, the situation was quickly stabilized. After all, Curry was "watching the show" and "tactical attraction" in the past.
", so the physical exertion is not great. There is no problem in letting him come up early to lead the substitutes.
After this period, the main players of both sides began to return one after another. In the mixed lineup stage, the Warriors took advantage again. Nothing else, because the Warriors... have so many stars. Splash Brothers, sorry, it should be Tsunami Brothers now, okay
Two of them can be used at any time, and one of them can take a rest. This way, the combat effectiveness can be maintained at the end, which is really a "rogue" thing.
Without Durant, the Splash Brothers are still the Splash Brothers. This makes people speechless, okay?
The Lakers wanted to improve their defensive intensity, but because it was the regular season, the effect was not good. The result of forcing too much improvement was that they received several whistles from the referee. The regular season is not the playoffs, and the regular season has a regular season style of play.
.No one can violate this unspoken rule. Unless the referee intends to increase the scale of confrontation today, it will be fine.
But after entering the Adam Silver era, this is no longer the case.
Offense, offense, offense are the highest regular season instructions of the new president. Confrontation and other things, I will cut back a little bit in the playoffs. Who of you wants to go against me in the regular season? Don’t you want to do it?
I don’t know if Curry is addicted to passing the ball. He didn’t take many shots in the first half, but he had more than 7 assists. You have to know that he only averaged a few assists per game in his career? It’s all over, okay. But you
Do you want to let him go? Do you want to ignore him? They will immediately give you a three-pointer to "satisfy your greed".
The Lakers had no choice but to start playing more tactical ball, because simple play could not beat the Warriors' perimeter defense.
After the second half of the second quarter, Larry Brown couldn't sit still anymore and directly asked the Lakers to change their offensive mode, giving more balls and playing in the low post. In other words, Tang Qian was asked to RBI more. The Warriors were strong, but,
It's not that there are some weaknesses. The weakness is that their inside line still hasn't improved much. It's even a bit worse than Bogut before.
Of course, this decline and the overall improvement on the outside are not enough to shake anything.
There are only a few super insiders in the league now, so it's not a big deal.
Tang Qian didn't expect that he would be the main offensive player so soon, because in the current Lakers team, he always let his teammates "finished playing", "played enough" and "can't play anymore" before he started.
Take action. In the previous games, his "opportunity to show his face" was only around the fourth quarter, and he was even "lucky". It was spent in three quarters, and there were too many "opportunities to show his face" at the end of the play.
Tonight, unexpectedly, I got into trouble, soon, too soon.
The Lakers have not systematically studied and targeted this lineup, so there was a situation that was difficult to deal with quickly like when the Rockets played the opening game. However, this situation is not only theirs, but also other teams in the league.
This is basically the case. Universe Yong has just been formed this season, who has played before?
Besides, there are four All-Star teams that are all at the top of their game. This place is fashionable and has never been seen before.
Note that this refers to the peak. Those veterans in their thirties should not come here to make up the numbers. What we are talking about is the real galactic battleship, the real "f4". So, just go head-on.
Your Kunyu Yong's outside line is indeed at a historical level, even the best in history, but what about the inside line of our Lakers team? Let me say it now, I am the best inside line in the world, and I can knock down your basket.
, do you dare to say no? Since you don’t dare, since you can’t do it, then let’s see whether your outside line is stronger or our inside line is stronger.
You have been clocking in this season, so you have to do some activities, right?
