Don't tell me, the Lakers are unsure, but what about the Warriors? The Warriors are boasting a lot, but there is also an internal problem that they have been unable to solve. This is also the purpose of Cole and the coaching staff's impromptu meeting before the game.
.Looking at the highlights of the characters being played in the video, Cole said: "Okay, now let's talk about our opinions, how to solve this problem, this point?"
The Warriors' coaching staff made a lot of suggestions, but in the end Kerr didn't nod.
That is to say, there is no expression of satisfaction.
Ron Adams, an assistant coach who graduated from Fresno Pacific University, said: Let him shoot the ball, mainly to defend the Lakers' No. 29 inside and low post kills. This is said in vain, it is too traditional, no one can think of this method.
?But, there is a problem. Cole wants to ask him, tell me how to prevent him from catching the ball in the low post and killing inside? Didn't you see the video highlights that are being played now? Who can stop him from asking for the ball in the low post?
Low post position? The 308-pound Cousins is no match for him. Bogut is gone from our team this year, and the rest of the team will be even more difficult to support.
The Warriors' current interior combination is Green + McGee or Green + Pachulia. How can I say this combination? In the era of space interiors, it is still possible. Both of them also weigh 270+ pounds. In the era of space interiors, they both weigh 270+ pounds.
, which can be considered a good confrontation. Coupled with McGee's athletic ability, defensive blocks are still possible. But if you expect these two people to guard the Lakers' No. 29 low post to get the ball stuck in the low post, that is a dream. Although the Warriors
These two people are larger than the Thunder's inside combination, but they are still dwarfed by the opponent's nearly invincible tonnage. Besides, it is impossible for the Warriors to replace the two-tower inside combination like the Thunder. In that case, Green will not be able to play.
, the damage to the Warriors is too great.
Everyone knows now that the core of the Warriors' defense is Green. Without him, the impact will be huge.
Therefore, unless there are extreme circumstances, the Warriors can only have one real long man on the court.
This is the so-called one-man lineup. Green can defend the inside, but despite his height, he still can't defeat the real heavy center. In other words, the inside can bully and bully in space. So you can't stop the opponent from cutting inside.
If you want the ball, why ask your opponent to shoot from outside the penalty area? Isn't that nonsense? This Oriental center is the modern version of O'Neal.
How did you spend defending O'Neal back then? That was all teams hoarding muscle sticks. Now is the era of space inside. Where the hell are you going to find so many muscle sticks? So Cole rolled his eyes at this assistant coach.
As for the rest of the people, they were all very similar. Their suggestions could only be said to be quite satisfactory, but they had no effect at all.
Cut off his passing route? Don’t I know? Doesn’t the whole league know? First of all, the Lakers’ No. 1 position is Rondo. He has been the assist leader for many years. Do you still have doubts about his ability to pass the ball? Do you think
Is the opponent's No. 1 position a soy sauce? Also, except for the No. 1 position, the No. 29 himself is also very mobile inside. He has many tricks in positioning. If there is any gap, he will be caught, and then he will get the ball.
Especially this year, Cole has noticed that No. 29 has begun to deal with double teams more easily. Not only is his ability to play the ball outstanding, which is far superior to ordinary insiders, but his personal offensive ability has also made a big leap this year.
Many people may not have noticed this, but Cole discovered that his one-on-two ability has become much better than last year. This cannot be seen by just looking at the data. You have to watch a lot of games to find out.
.
Last year, No. 29 played more one-on-two by passing the ball, and his play became more reasonable. This year, he will use more strong play to balance the proportion of offensive passes in his one-on-two process. It seems that this is not as reasonable as before.
But as a strong head coach, Cole would not see it that way. Instead, he felt that compared to the former, it is now more elusive and difficult to predict.
In the past, you could bet more on his one-on-two ball route, but if you do so this year, the effect will undoubtedly be greatly weakened.
Therefore, it is not easy to cut off his internal and external passes.
Walton Jr. made a suggestion that seemed pretty good, which was to block a certain aspect of a super player in a targeted manner. This approach was a bit interesting. How should I put it? As long as it is properly guarded, a piece of it would be weakened. I think
To completely lock down a super player requires a huge amount of energy. The Warriors cannot afford to defend the top three players in the league.
Because their dpoy-level players cannot stop No. 29 at all.
Walton Jr. has no chance to coach the Lakers at this time and space, so he still shrinks to the Warriors as his chief assistant coach. Cole thought about it and thought it made sense, and finally decided to defend the Lakers' No. 29
Basket impact strategy. Because it is difficult for big men to hit the ball when facing the basket, inertia is inevitable. The impact is great, but it is also difficult to contain. In comparison, it is difficult to pinch with the back.
Oh, because the opponent's back-up shot was too sharp, and it might have been a stupid move that made the Lakers' perimeter players reactive.
So let’s stick to this, at least now it seems to make some sense.
Cole nodded to Little Wharton, expressing his slight approval.
At 7:30 in the evening, the game started at Oracle Arena. As soon as the two sides met, they were all sarcastic and sarcastic. After all, they had old and new grudges, and there was no need to hide them. In the next few years, it is very likely that they will still be in love and kill each other.
". In addition, Durant completely abandoned his "Du Shubao" persona and started to be "Big Mouth Du". The two sides even started talking trash all over the place before the official start.
Seeing this scene, t.n.t knew that today's ratings were stable, and O'Neal and Reggie Miller were tonight's hosts.
"60 wins, Shaq, what do you think? Invincible record." Reggie Miller sighed as he opened his mouth.
"It's okay. I think I can do better in this era. Today's insiders are too crispy. As crispy as BBQ grilled chicken." What O'Neal actually means is that the insiders in this era are too weak.
, I was born at the wrong time, and he is so lucky. This is the same as when he underestimated Howard. Of course, Howard failed to slap him in the face in the end, so O'Neal won.
At this time, O'Neal suddenly said wildly: "If I were at my peak in this era, I could average 50 points per game!"
As soon as these words came out, even Reggie Miller was a little stunned. Didn't he just mention how awesome the Lakers and No. 29 are? As for that, he didn't know that O'Neal just didn't want to be the number one center in the new century.
The reputation is impressive. So last year, after Tang Qian won his first championship as a team leader, he started to say that if Tang Qian wanted to compare with him, he would need at least two rings.
Now comes another sentence of "I can average 50 points per game"? Have you eaten too much? Shaq?
Reggie Miller also suddenly became interested and said: "Then what results can you achieve with the Lakers in this era?"
O'Neal actually didn't shy away from it at all and spoke directly: "At least I can get 74 wins in the season. The remaining 8 games are because I have to rest. You know my big toe is very delicate. I must also treat it well.
." This is an American joke, but it still makes many Tang Qian fans explode, angrily complaining about O'Neal's shamelessness. The best season in his career was 67 wins! That team included the famous coach "Zen Master" from President Hill.
", there is Kobe who is already in the first defense + second team, and there is Glenn Rice who has scored 20+ points for many years before coming to the Lakers, and his strongest point is close to 27 points. And one thing to note, Glenn Rice is
He was a rare three-point shooter in that era. He took almost 4 shots in his career and hit 40% of his field goals! He was already an incredible marksman in that era. In addition, there were Fisher + Horry on the bench.
Mr. Big Substitute Key. I haven’t seen him lead the team to 70 wins in the regular season. Besides, without Kobe, without the hairy referees in the Finals that year and Wade’s super talent, it would be difficult for him to win a championship in his career. For
When it comes to picking teammates, he himself is the number one tough guy, okay?
Tang Qian didn't care what O'Neal would say. Anyway, he could see that this fat guy didn't like him.
Therefore, if you treat me this way, I will never treat you the same way I treat celebrities.
Anyway, you have also fought against the famous Lakers player, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, so just treat him like a tit for tat.
Tang Qian would fight back if he heard these remarks after the game. He had countless slaps in O'Neal's face along the way. Some people even claimed in the future that Tang Qian's growth history was a history of slaps in the face of the big sharks. The O'Neal Gang
The Lakers set too many flags on the 29th. For Tang Qianqian to achieve this achievement, he really has to "thank you" O'Pang for his encouragement, right?
At the beginning of the game, both sides announced their starting lineups. The Warriors’ starting lineup tonight was Curry + Durant + Thompson + Green + Zaza Pachulia. Tonight was a little different from the last game. They used Pachulia.
Chulia replaced McGee in the starting lineup. Maybe he felt that McGee's starting adjustment in the last game was not effective. Besides, the Warriors are not the kind of team that relies on the inside. They can respond flexibly to the inside adjustment. This situation is not uncommon.
.The Lakers are basically unchanged, still Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo.
The Lakers' strategy from the beginning was to defend well. They are a defensive team, so there is no problem in doing so.
The Warriors also wanted a success rate, so they started to run tactics. Unfortunately, after a few rounds, the results were not satisfactory. The Lakers' tactical defensive ability is really outstanding. Even the Warriors can't easily play anything.
The complex tactics came out. Since this was the case, we immediately started to make adjustments.
The Warriors started to play pass-cutting, which is also Cole's specialty, but the two teams have been playing for such a long time, and they have played against each other continuously in the playoffs in recent years, so they have in-depth research and analysis on each other.
. However, compared with last season and the first match this season, it has improved a lot. 2 of 4 shots were made. The Lakers defended 2 and lost 2. The Lakers themselves also fell behind the previous few.
The multi-point flowering strategy that continues in the field wants to rely on the overall suppression of the four-star warriors.
But after playing for a few minutes, the head coaches of both sides felt something was wrong. Playing like this made the opponent's rhythm uncomfortable, and he was also uncomfortable. Soon the two sides made slight adjustments again. The Lakers added outside breakthroughs + pick-and-roll screens, and the Warriors
The team has increased a certain proportion of wing singles. It seems as if the rhythm of both sides has suddenly changed, but the score difference has not changed at all, it is very stalemate. You know, as the head coach of the team, what you have to do is to help the ball
The team widened the score difference.
Basketball is essentially a scoring game.
The Warriors used a top-curve pick-and-roll. Curry's shot was very treacherous. He did not go to the side where he should break through the pick-and-roll. Instead, he chose a non-pick-and-roll point to break through. Rondo also reacted quickly and adjusted quickly, relying on his footsteps and super long length.
The arm wants to delay the former and buy time for himself to adjust. Curry's ball is an "in.and.out". Curry is getting better and better with this move now, in order to strengthen his ability to combine sudden shots.
, Curry has also put in a lot of effort to reduce targeting.
It's normal. They are all stars at this level. If they don't find ways to improve and perfect themselves, they will basically not be able to reach this height.
This ball was passed half way by Rondo, and then Curry threw it and hit it.
The Lakers also quickly made a low screen + double cut on the wing. Tang Qian successfully screened and Butler broke in, causing a foul on Pachulia, the Warriors inside player. Pachulia's coordination and golf savvy are important
He is taller than McGee, but his ability to block shots and protect the basket cannot be compared with McGee. He averaged 0.3 blocks per game in his career. For those who don't know, I thought he was a defender.
Butler made 2 of 2 free throws. The Warriors still had Curry holding the ball. After coming over, it was an "in.and.out". Again? This time Rondo was prepared. He was determined to guard Curry.
This breakthrough ball. But who knew that Curry would just throw the ball to his head.
"In.and.out" fake action + sudden three-point shooting, this is a new skill package he has developed this year. It suddenly appeared, and Rondo was not prepared. The basketball, with a "swipe", entered the net. Curry scored.
5 points. He was indeed very strong tonight. To be honest, when Durant didn't come here a few years ago, Curry suffered a big loss at the hands of the Lakers. Basically, he would suffer when he encountered the Lakers.
The opponent's routine of continuously defending the No. 1 position made him complain every time.
There are only a handful of good games.
Last year's Western Conference Finals was proof that Curry, who had already averaged 33+ points per game in the regular season, suddenly dropped numbers like crazy in the Western Conference Finals. If he hadn't also had a blast, it would have been hard to average 23+ points per game. So it's important to
When it comes to hating the Lakers' No. 1 position, Curry should be one of the first. He is eager to find an opportunity to shoot down the Lakers' No. 1 position.
The Lakers made a sudden score. After using the pick-and-roll, Rondo directly broke through and scored the ball. Randall on the inside caught the ball. Randall is still a very aggressive player, but it is a pity that his offensive method is a bit monotonous.
, so this ball was seen through by the Warriors' defensive core "Chasing Green". Green suddenly penetrated and then blocked Randall's shot behind the head.
When the Warriors attack, Curry has to play tricks. Curry is just like that. If he is a little better, he will be "showy". Of course, many people also like this about him. It is more interesting when stars with a strong desire to perform are close together.
There are only a handful of people like Duncan in the NBA, and with Duncan's career achievements so high, and the competition among his fan base, he probably won't even make it into the top 20 in history.
Curry is also in a continuous scoring state. In addition, Durant came over and made a false block on this ball, attracting Rondo's attention. Curry boldly chose to attack and defend with Rondo on this ball. This is for Curry
, is not a good thing. Curry's confrontational nature is not that good. Rondo wanted to seize the opportunity to defend one, but found that Curry suddenly stopped. Is this... a three-pointer?
Speaking of Curry, you can't help but associate it with the three-pointer. Especially after last season's "Curry State" in the regular season, it is difficult for you to turn a blind eye to him outside the three-point line. Then,
But it can really kill people. In addition, Curry has just scored consecutively, Rondo is also a little mentally sensitive. Curry actually made a behind-the-back dribble to force the ball? What is the meaning of this?
With such a tough attack, it will be difficult for him to get past Rondo, which the Lakers players also firmly believe.
Rondo's defense has declined a bit compared to last year, but the defensive level is still there. The opponent is Curry, who has average physical fitness. Everyone thinks this ball should be OK. But, Curry's ball is not an ordinary one. He
This ball is dribbled behind the back to... wear the crotch!
Yes, you read that right, Curry's goal is to directly penetrate the crotch. He wants to return all the humiliation he received from the Lakers last year. As an opponent, how much praise did Rondo receive in last year's playoffs?
, I will spit out as much as I can this season.
Even doubled!
Curry has a baby face, but he has a big temperament. There is nothing wrong with him, but it makes people think that he is "beyond his appearance."
Rondo was also stunned. How did he know that Curry had such great "attack power" tonight? Is he going to take action on himself?
Curry was in good condition. He thought that since he felt good tonight, he would hit his opponent in one breath. Unfortunately, his extraordinary performance was very eye-catching, but the moment he took action, he was hit by an airplane hat and flew away.
After covering the ball, Curry was almost knocked down by the huge inertia of No. 29.
"Do you really think that the Lakers' penalty area is Rucker Park?" Tang Qian said in an emotionless voice after landing: "No sideshows are welcome here, understand?" If Curry got the ball, then that's it.
Now Curry talks trash, plays off his personality, and brags. But now that he has been blocked, he is the winner and loser, and it is useless no matter how good he was in the past.
On the contrary, it fulfilled the latter's magnificent hat.
"Dongfang is hot for you..." Curry is really depressed. If this ball can go in, he can completely show off his momentum tonight and forcefully suppress his opponents. It's a pity that this damn No. 29 got in the way.
Destroyed.
The Lakers attack, and Tang Qian wants to instigate his teammates for this ball, but there is a problem. The hard abilities of these Lakers players are not as good as those of the four-star Warriors opposite. Needless to say, this is a sure thing. Then
Curry + Durant are two super scorers, and there is also "Buddha" Thompson who averages 22+ points per game, which is really disappointing. The Lakers' defensive energy is very strong, but they can't compare points alone.
It's still much weaker. Except for Tang Qian, Butler only averages about 20 points per game, and the rest, not to mention, Randall only scores 13+ points, and the remaining two all score in single digits, so
The gap is really big when we fight hard to score points. If we continue to fight like this, the problems of stability and hard power will quickly emerge.
The comparison between these players and the Warriors' starting lineup is incredible.
Tang Qian saw that the Lakers were a little bit unable to open up, so he decisively decided that he should do it himself. This is also an established pattern of the Lakers in the past two seasons. If you play well, I won't steal it for you, but you can play well.
No, it can't be done, then I'll be here. No one can complain at this time.
It's coming. It's Dongfang Tang. Be prepared to guard against him.
Let him taste the feeling of being held down tonight.
Come on!
ps: It’s a big chapter~ I’ll try to pay off the debt tomorrow~~~ Good night everyone~
