I hope the Warriors don't make too many plays tonight. This is what Larry Brown is thinking about right now.
The Warriors can sometimes hit four or five times or more in a game, but now the Lakers can only pray that they can do less tonight, so the Lakers have greater hope of persevering.
The whistle in this game was on the side of the Lakers, which is a relatively good thing. Because generally speaking, the Lakers are the victims of "Silver's best tiebreaker clause" rather than the winners. This
I really have to say that without the whistle, it would be difficult for the Lakers to sustain themselves.
After all, this team is too strong, with a neat lineup and no contradictions. They are united this season and have perfect hardware and software. If the Lakers want to win, they can only delay first.
Only then can you have time to think of a solution.
But at the beginning of the third quarter, Universe Yong, who had a tidy lineup, began to show off his power again.
This wave must be resisted.
otherwise……
Larry Brown sat off the field, his emotions inside were far more turbulent than he appeared on the surface.
The Warriors immediately came up with a Dooku pick-and-roll. This was completely impossible to defend. Both of them are super good at breaking up and both are still at their peak. Who do you think you are going to guard? It is easy to misplace when defending the pick-and-roll. Durant
With Curry, one is "big against small" and the other is "small against big." They are both top players. Fortunately, the Lakers' defensive system is perfect, so this ball Ariza and Rondo are connected for once, and they directly and perfectly sideways to each other.
Moving, they both completed the follow-up defense. The two Warriors were not allowed to complete the misplaced attack. But the problem is... this move of the Warriors is abnormal. You defended the first one? Then what? So what?
?Their follow-up attack firepower has not changed at all, right?
If you are one-on-one, the other person will not be afraid at all.
A super scorer is still afraid of one-on-one? I'm afraid he has lost his mind. No top scorer is afraid of good or bad. If you are afraid of this, why do you call him a super scorer? Even Curry, in this Warriors system,
If you are one-on-one, he can still kill you. Interestingly, even after the establishment of the Universe, Curry was actually the one who was double-teamed the most, not Durant. The first one was someone like Durant.
The effect of trapping is far not as good as Curry's. The second is that if Curry surrenders, it will simply be a missile. You can't see the end in one fell swoop.
So double-teaming Curry is the root cause of Curry's decline in the playoffs. If it's one-on-one... it's courting death.
Even the Lakers only used two defensive players last year, abolished organization and offense, and cooperated with the team's overall defensive system to suppress it with all their strength. Even so, Curry still broke out for one and a half games. Therefore, it is super
A scorer is a super scorer, not a cabbage. Don't think that one-on-one can easily solve the problem.
Even if there is no one-on-one situation like open space, then one-on-one is still confident. Otherwise, what do you think is the state of a super scorer? And the most outrageous thing is... the Warriors have too much tacit understanding and teamwork this season, and they have
They also obeyed Cole's various operations, so you will see that it was obviously a Dooku pick-and-roll, and the Lakers' defensive focus moved to it. As a result, they...the ball was...it was handed to them and it had wandered away long ago.
Klay Thompson on the other side.
A super shooter who does not occupy the world at all, super 3D, and also has the ability to attack with the ball. This person is called Klay Thompson in modern times. He is really the best of the best. Even the Lakers are jealous when they look at it.
A person can be put into any team to be the perfect championship support... So Thompson took the opportunity to take a shot, hit a three-pointer.
After Dooku picks and rolls, there is also Thompson. After these two super scorers attract the defensive attention, how much more does he have left?
In addition, Thompson's running without the ball is also top-notch in history. The gap between him and Curry lies in the three-pointers with the ball, not in the three-pointers without the ball.
Tang Qian turned around and provided support from the midfield with one hand. After half-covering, he forced his huge body to complete the handoff. This allowed Butler to rush in and finish with a direct dunk. Before that, he also let the top arc pass
Rondo went to the sideline to ask for the ball, preparing to receive the ball and break through, allowing Ariza to cut back without the ball, clear the air and attract tactics. Only after this whole set can he be called a true inside passing master. He is called an inside pivot player. Not
People like Brother Big Eyebrow and Cousins only have good assist statistics.
Cole was surprised to see this ability. He even felt that besides not being able to shoot, this guy was an excellent inside model in all aspects. O'Neal... was definitely not as good as him. In this aspect, he could
O'Neal simply can't instigate a team by himself. O'Neal is more about the end point, whether it's the Magic or the Lakers.
This guy's ability is more similar to Duncan, Olajuwon, and Bill Walton.
If I didn't want to disrupt the team's established structure, I would really want to grab him in the free market.
But now that we have Durant and Curry, Green is also very good inside, and his passing support is strong. In addition, the three-pointer can also open up the space. In fact, there is no need to pursue too much. In this way, it is very good.
Come on. You are very strong, but it’s a pity that you were born in the wrong era. Because if you were in an era when superstars were not popular in their peak grouping and team formation, you would definitely become the overlord. Even with the lineup configuration of the Lakers, a dynasty is possible.
.It’s a pity that modern basketball still needs more superstars to succeed.
The era of a single giant winning the championship is completely gone.
Anyway, that's what Cole thinks. He even thinks that as long as the Warriors are not injured, they can rule the league for at least five years or even longer. However, the facts of the original time and space prove that the establishment and overthrow of a dynasty
, it may all happen overnight. Plans can never keep up with changes.
Tang Qian was controlling the court, but the opponent's attack wave also started. In turn, Durant and Curry acted as bait, and then a perfect high-low shift. Curry and Durant completely contained the Lakers' attack.
On defense, Green also pulled out from the outside. Durant rushed in and made a direct pass to Thompson in the corner. Thompson made a three-pointer. Randall of the Lakers rushed over, but he was not stupid. It was just a fake.
After shaking off the action, he dribbles one step and hits a mid-range shot. Having said that, for these three people, the shooting touch is innate, so whether it is a three-pointer or a long two-pointer, for them, it is all
Yes, it's possible, there's no pressure.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a 3-pointer.
Although the Warriors have so many top shooters, if you look at it, they have never ranked first in three-pointers per game.
Cole's refinement of attack is not about moving the magic ball. This is also what makes him unique.
Tang Qian went straight in, scored with a dunk, and it was one-on-one. For him, the Warriors were just giving away food.
No matter who it is! If he catches the ball in the low post, it's the same, no difference.
Pachulia also wanted to scold her in her heart. Are she here to defend or to be a sandbag? What is the point of guarding him on the defensive end? Is it possible that she has no sense of existence? But since it is called an attack
Bo, it wouldn't stop like this, because when they turned around, they directly scored a beautiful continuous pass. They passed the ball five times in total. Watching the replay, you will feel that this offense was an artistic act.
First, Curry passed the pick-and-roll to Durant, and he pulled to the side. Durant broke through again, attracting the defense to Thompson in the corner. Thompson had already made two shots. The Lakers naturally paid attention, and someone came over immediately.
The defense was switched. But Thompson did not shoot after attracting people over this time, and gave it to Green at the top of the arc. Green's three-pointer? No, it was a fake move. After attracting the Lakers defender, he gave it to Library who came over from the side.
Here, Curry cut in and passed it to Green behind him again. Green took a three-pointer and hit it.
Throughout the whole process, the Lakers were running, running, running, constantly covering up and switching defenses. This was them. The other teams had already become a mess. But even so, they did not turn the ball around.
Defend. There is no way. In order to contain the opponent's offensive shock wave, Larry Brown can only take the lead in changing into an unlimited defensive lineup. There is no other way. This can at least improve the defensive rotation speed and defensive rotation efficiency of the lineup.
The Warriors must withstand the wave of attacks.
There is no other way.
This did have some effect. The Warriors missed 2 goals, but they were not fools and immediately made targeted changes. It's not that they replaced anything, Cole did not replace the "Death Five"
"The lineup, but directly used a very helpless but speechless countermeasure. What is it? It is very simple, that is, Durant and Curry take turns holding the ball and playing alone.
There is absolutely no way to do this. Curry holds the ball and looks for pick-and-rolls and just shoots, which is unreasonable.
Durant is similar. He holds the ball on the wing and can't stop him one-on-one.
This feels too depressing. The opponent's current offensive methods and methods of breaking the game are numerous, and even if they are really ineffective, they can also use brute force, just like now. The Lakers have never encountered such a situation. Let alone the Lakers
Larry Brown has been coaching all his life and has never encountered a team like this. Two super scorers fit together perfectly when they were at their peak in their twenties. This is simply...cheating.
ah!!!
How many of those duo groups back then had reached this level???
That's Kobe and O'Neal.
The rest of Jordan + Pippen, and various older groups have lost their peak offensive firepower, so this is too scary.
No wonder the o.k group back then was what the saying goes. Ao Pang Lu plays Kobe Lu, and the others just play soy sauce and score a few points. It’s really not fun to have two super scorers in a team. If they are at their peak, others can’t do it.
.Think about it, if these two people had still been quarreling, disagreeing, and having conflicts to win three consecutive championships, it shows how powerful the combination of super scorers is.
To be honest, if the Warriors didn't have so many injuries in 2019, no, as long as Durant was not injured, in fact, the Raptors wouldn't have had to play at all. Durant's comeback was not smooth.
He played so efficiently that the Raptors couldn't hold their heads up. If he had been there and not injured, the Raptors would have had no chance of winning. It would have been very possible for them to be swept.
It's a pity that there is no if.
After Tang Qian finally attracted the defense, he passed the ball and hit a 3-pointer from the outside. The opponent immediately responded with the same method. Curry came over and unreasonably made a 3-pointer.
Tang Qian tried his best, and Larry Brown also arranged a lot of penetration into the paint and the basket at the whistle tonight. Even so, he still fell behind his opponent at the end of the third quarter.
A total of 9 points. As for the Warriors, in fact, they haven't played too seriously yet, at least, they haven't tried their best. You can tell.
Maybe for them, this kind of competition is already a sure thing, and no one has the idea to put in so much effort.
Is it better to give last year’s defending champion some face? Isn’t it?
Winning 2 games is enough. Give them some face in the away game. Anyway, the trend is always on your side, right?
Fortunately, fortunately, there are always extraordinary things happening in wonderful places in history. This is what Tang Qian said, why he is so grateful to Nick Yang. It is not exaggerated to say that Yang Shaoxia saved his career.
At least it saved his season. It also saved the Lakers' season.
Nick Yang, Young Shaoxia, he didn't know if he was suddenly opened up to Ren Du's second line, but he even grabbed and shot. In the last minute, he scored 9 points! 2 three-pointers, one
2+1, a steal, and a successful defense! This allowed the Lakers to narrow the score difference to 3 points at the end of the third quarter!
If Curry hadn't thrown one in at the end, this would probably have been tied!
Nick Young is like this, a nervous knife. In this game, he lost his nerve.
Anyway, because of his short-term performance, the Lakers and Warriors entered the fourth quarter with only a 3-point difference.
It's the last section, I just need to support it a little longer, and it'll be fine.
Tang Qian looked at the score and said silently in his heart.
