After seeing this gesture, the Warriors suddenly changed their defensive methods and quickly squeezed in the low post!
The target of the squeeze is one, No. 29 of the Lakers, Tang Qian. With him as the center, the space squeeze begins!
After the Lakers' ball went in, Tang Qian was double-teamed, but he still chose to attack forcefully on the next ball, using his body to open the way. Then, he scored the goal amidst cheers. This is really... amazing.
But it just started tonight, don't worry, tyrant, you still have to play. Cole watched from the side and did not become frustrated because the ball was not guarded.
When the Warriors attacked, Curry stepped out and hit a mid-range shot. The Warriors played relatively more reasonably than the Rockets, and Cole didn't have to make a three-pointer. For him, a 2-pointer is also
That’s right. The Lakers are not a fast-paced team anyway, and the investment and benefits of 2-pointers are not low. So he said before the game that as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will take action. There is no need to worry about it.
Is it a three-pointer or a 2-pointer?
If it's 2 points long, shoot if you have the chance.
Yes, this adaptability is very good, and the Warriors also have this condition. Their Tsunami brothers are not the kind of people who forcefully practice three-pointers. They are all born with a soft touch as shooters. Therefore, there will be no three-pointers.
Yes, but the mid-range situation is a mess. So this is not because Cole is too messy. It is because the Warriors have this strength.
There are conditions to do so.
The Lakers still have to give to No. 29, or in other words, No. 29 is still asking for the ball. This time the Warriors double-team and shrink even more intensely, and here, Cole made a different arrangement than others. That is
, don’t think about blocking the opponent’s shot, just find the right opportunity and cut the ball!
This is an arrangement that is somewhat different from normal defensive common sense, but Cole insists on doing it because he believes that the opponent has the power to break the game with one person as a nuclear weapon. He is currently the heaviest one in the league, and his tonnage is obviously
It's still a weight that he can control, and it doesn't affect his athletic ability much. This is completely modern Godzilla level. So, you are like the Trail Blazers, choosing crazy double-teaming, but the effect is still not good, because you can't top it at all.
If you can't stop him, then don't talk about the follow-up. The key to a successful double-team is to be able to withstand the first blow. Otherwise, the opponent will directly break the double-team, so what else is there to talk about assisting in defense?
Encirclement? Besides, Rondo of the Lakers is not a vegetarian. He has been the assist king for many years and is still the first in the assists list this season. With him here, he can provide shells to No. 29 with a little chance. So let’s give it a try.
Unstoppable double-team defense is even more futile.
What about the Rockets? Their style of play is too extreme.
Not counting their offensive mode, just talking about the defense of the Lakers No. 29, Cole thinks it is unwise. However, it is also D'Antoni's style, and it has indeed forced the Lakers into adversity many times.
It was done well. It was much better than the Trail Blazers. But in the end, they were not strong enough or... were not lucky enough, so they still lost.
A 4-0 sweep, no matter how bizarre the process was, what can be remembered in the end is the defeat. That's all.
No one cares about the details, just like no one cared about the Warriors' record of 73 wins last year. Everything needs victory as a footnote. So this time, Cole's plan is...
Conduct high-intensity joint double-teaming on Lakers No. 29, and then use cutting balls to interfere and hinder.
Many people in the Warriors are experts at cutting the ball. Look at this ball. Iguodala has quick eyes and quick hands. He is worthy of being called the man who even cried when he was cut. This unique skill is really awesome. After stealing the ball,
The Warriors immediately pushed quickly, and then a wave of fast breaks went directly in.
The Lakers still gave it to Tang Qian, but this time he was fouled by Tang Qian and made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.
Just like that, the second quarter is over. When you look at the score, it has expanded to 16 points.
The Lakers' scoring was normal. They scored 49 points in the half. What about the other side? They scored a total of 65 points in the half. This also means that the Lakers' defense was basically useless for them in the first half.
What effect did it have? After returning from the second half, the Lakers still played No. 29, but the efficiency was still not high. The Warriors took the opportunity to expand the score to 20 points.
At this time, Green even deliberately said: Don't you claim to be invincible inside? Why are you so weak today?
Forgot to take your aphrodisiac?
Green has always spoken without any limits. He is not the kind of elegant trash-talker like Bird Jordan. He is the type of trash-talker like Payton and Garnett. What he said is really a bit unpleasant. It is easy to make people angry.
It sounds exciting!
Of course, Tang Qian can't give up so easily, right? Green is just a ball. Why don't you try to guard me alone? If I don't hit you until you call me daddy, I won't be named Tang! But Green learned his lesson this time.
Instead of going head-to-head with Tang Qian, he came up to harass and take advantage of opportunities to cut the ball. His cutting skills are also the best in the league. He and Iguodala took turns taking care of him, which put Tang Qian's offense into a trap.
During a relatively low ebb period, it does not mean that it has been completely prevented, but the efficiency has dropped significantly, but it has become a fact.
But Tang Qian didn't want to bow his head and admit defeat. He also knew that this series was the key, so he did not hesitate to activate the "God descends to earth" mode. In this "God descends to earth" mode, Tang Qian's many abilities were enhanced.
Maximum value... He can actually keep killing and scoring in such a tight defense! Many people on the Internet are stunned. How many years has it been since such a powerful scoring five position has appeared?
In addition, his furious state was also activated, and the killing was astonishing!
Cole was slightly frightened as he watched. He really didn’t expect that a center could be so violent. Can he continue to play? It’s really surprising! You may be in this era, no, even in history, you are also
The strongest one is No. 5. But this... is not enough.
Cole licked his lips with his tongue and said: A person can't win if he doesn't trust his teammates at all.
Even Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, can't do it. The same goes for you. Even if you are as good as Jordan, or even better, it won't work. It's still possible to play against a weak team, but there is no chance against a strong team. What's more, our universe
Yong.
Tang Qian's explosive kill inside, his violent posture is exactly like that of a humanoid tyrannosaurus. If you don't pay attention, he will rush away from the circle, then raise his hand to dunk and score! This is the first time I have seen such a terrifying person! In space
In the inside era, he was "god down to earth" + "wrathful", which is equivalent to being invincible. Really, three Warriors players came to double-team hard, and they were all beaten by him frequently.
With this gesture, even O'Neal's son Sharif, who was watching the game, asked on the sidelines: "Dad, were you so fierce and invincible back then? It's too strong! The sensory stimulation is too strong! It makes me so happy to watch it!"
As O'Neal watched, he mentally cursed Lakers No. 29 as a pervert and replied pretentiously: "Of course, I was even better than him back then."
It's hard to say whether O'Neal's words are true, but Tang Qian's score tonight will definitely be high.
Tang Qian actually made a violent turn after receiving the ball, pushed away the defender, forced his way out of the gap, then strode forward, and finally dunked with one hand, hitting Jin hard.
Zaza Pachulia, the basketball player of the State Warriors, wanted to be "professional" with the ball, but as a result... he was dunked directly and fell to the ground miserably.
But the Warriors don't care about this kind of thing at all and just continue to play good offense.
Look at the Warriors, after a screened pass, Curry attracted the defense, faked a move to shake someone, and then made a step forward, directly hitting the net with a long 2-pointer! Sure enough, the Warriors' strategy tonight is,
Shoot when you have the chance. Whether it's a 2-pointer or a 3-pointer, shoot wherever there is an opportunity.
Tsunami Brothers' shooting range is endless, covering one meter beyond the three-point line.
Moreover, the mid-range shooters are all good players. This is what completely separates them from the Houston Rockets.
To put it bluntly, for the Rockets, James Harden's mid-range shooting has plummeted since he was transformed into a magic ball, especially the long two-pointer. His career field goal percentage is only 37%! And starting from this season, the number of shots has also decreased crazily.
There are only 5% left. Don’t think that this is the limit. There will be even less in the future, around 1%. If you don’t invest in mid-range investments for a long time, you will develop habits, so when you have the opportunity, you will subconsciously
I don’t even know how to vote.
The Rockets' only stable mid-range shooter is Paul, but the Warriors have at least three.
Curry's mid-range shooting percentage in his career has exceeded 45%, and his mid-range shooting percentage has exceeded 46%. Thompson is also 43%, and one is close to 45%. Not to mention Durant, the mid-range is terrifyingly stable. Especially the long 2
Points, that is, mid- and long-range baskets, do you know how many points are there in a career in the playoffs? Close to 50%!!!
Therefore, the three of them are not afraid of the mid-range at all. They have real shooting skills.
The Lakers still have Tang Qian, who wants the ball hard in the low post, and Rondo is also very good at passing the ball. After so long, he and Tang Qian have developed a tacit understanding, so he can pass it in at every opportunity. Warriors
And instead of using a double-team without the ball, he adopted a double-team with the ball tactic, so... Tang Qian still has a chance to catch the ball and attack. No matter how small it is, there is always one.
Cole had his own considerations in doing this. In fact, for the opponent, if there is no human shield, the effect of double-teaming without the ball will be the same. The opponent's movement is still smooth and without any restrictions. After Bogut left, the short-term
There are fewer players with strong confrontation, so the effect of this will not be too obvious. If you look at the Trail Blazers, you will know that there is no human shield to support the opponent, so the opponent can use brute force to break through without the ball.
In terms of strength and physical confrontation, No. 29 is the bug of this era.
This so-called highly confrontational player refers specifically to the inside line, or even to the human shield, because no matter how tough the general outside line or space inside line is, it is just like this. For the 325+ pound Big Mac, it is
Pediatrics. Is Green's confrontational enough? His playing style is tough enough, right? But look at the effect of him blocking No. 29 hard.
It's basically the same as a scarecrow.
Besides, doing so will also cause huge damage to the team's own defensive system, so Cole did not choose to double-team without the ball but with the ball. What he wanted was the same as the Rockets and Trail Blazers.
It's different. He doesn't need to defend the Lakers' No. 29, he just needs to reduce his offensive success rate. Because... the Lakers' defense can't defend the Golden State Warriors this season either.
This also means that there is no way to deal with the Warriors in the same way as the Rockets.
If you want to eat into the score difference, that's an impossible task.
Because the opponent keeps scoring, right?
The Warriors used a low double screen for this ball. After coming out, Pachulia passed a hand-to-hand pass to Green who cut in reverse. The Warriors passed the ball hand-to-hand.
We can see this kind of tactical coordination and operation many times. Green's sudden cut in caught the Lakers players, whose defensive attention was focused on the periphery, off guard.
The pass-and-cut system is also one of the core standards for the Golden State Warriors' team building.
Green raised his hand and made an underhand layup, flying towards the Lakers' basket.
But the ball did not go in, because the Lakers came back from defense on the 29th, jumped up from a long way away, and flew straight to the right side of the penalty area. Then, under the gaze of nearly 20,000 spectators at the Staples Center,
One slap blocked the Warriors' ball.
Then the Lakers attacked, and Tang Qian directly participated in the defensive counterattack, catching the ball and driving in while facing the basket, causing a defensive foul on Thompson of the Warriors. However, Tang Qian failed to score the two goals on the free throw line. As soon as the Warriors passed by, you
I saw them feeding the ball to Klay Thompson, who just lost the defensive round. What is this called? This is called trust, this is called unity.
Thompson is also very powerful. He chases after him and catches the ball with a large three-pointer. This ball...
Brush, hit~ Thompson also made a three-pointer.
This made Tang Qian's offensive and defensive efforts just now a bubble, meaningless at all.
In this offensive round of the Lakers, Tang Qian was cut off the ball again and made a direct mistake. Then the Warriors hit quickly and pushed quickly. Then they turned around and shot another three-pointer. This time it was Curry, and he hit again.
In fact, the Lakers' momentum tonight has never been restored since the beginning. The opponent's confidence in their team's offense has been deeply rooted in their bones, so the more they play, the better. Even Green teased the Lakers'
Get defensive.
What are you all doing? Did you forget to install the defense button?
It sounds really irritating. Tang Qian was once again stuck in a deep position, hit the ball as soon as he caught the ball, faked a trick, and then scored with a straight-arm hook shot.
The Warriors played an inside V-shaped breakthrough tactic because Curry's three-pointer threat was too big, so when Curry stopped the ball a little bit, Rondo jumped up. This was also a reasonable use by Curry.
His three-point shooting ability. If he wasn't so accurate, no, he was so accurate, would other teams be so close to him in the playoffs? Obviously not.
If you give it a little bit, they will just raise their hands and throw a three-pointer.
Curry really has this ability. He is the number one marksman in history. He cannot be blocked.
It's not just a waste of fame, okay?
Cole watched from the sidelines, admiring the Lakers No. 29's amazing offensive destructive power, while muttering to himself on the sidelines:
Tyrant of the East, you really fought it all alone. Unfortunately, basketball is for five people.
You want to defeat our Universe Yong like this, are you thinking too much?
We want the first one.
You really are a Saiyan...you can't win.
