It is indeed not sustainable. Because the problem couldn't be simpler. Gasol will be 37 in one month and a few days. Deron will be 33 in one month and one month. One of them is
He has never been good at physical fitness. One is that he has been seriously injured and overhauled, and his physical fitness has declined significantly. So Cole did not panic. Instead, he asked the team to continue to speed up and accelerate the opponent's physical consumption. As expected, it soon became clear because
The decline in physical fitness began to cause leaks and inability to keep up with others on the defensive end. How could the Warriors let go of this opportunity? They started a wave and shot 11-2 in an instant. The score difference was overtaken by the Warriors again.
The Lakers immediately made substitutions and wanted to persist until the second half, but the continuous scoring of Durant and Livingston made the Lakers a little passive during this period. In addition, the Lakers did not feel good during the three-point period, and the opponent quickly turned the score over.
The messenger was dragged out.
How can this be done?
Can not be done.
Tang Qian quickly led the team to attack. He played consecutive post-up singles and accurately shot the ball, finally revitalizing the perimeter. The Lakers actually evened the score before the end of the first half. This was a very rare game.
High-scoring defensive battle. What does it mean? It means that even though the score on both sides is over 60 points, both sides actually have a long period of fighting. If you watch the entire first half, you will know that the score is high.
That's because the scoring pattern is all in waves.
A few minutes of continuous scoring, followed by a period of no scoring or sporadic scoring. Such a strange combination makes this ball look like it has a lot of iron, but when you look at the score, eh, it's still fine.
The reason is very high. After the intermission, both sides returned to their main lineups in the second half. This time the Warriors took the initiative to change their formations. They put out a "death five" lineup from the beginning, clearly planning to fight in advance.
The Lakers decided the winner. The Lakers also saw tricks and immediately put on a super infinite defense lineup to face the match, leaving no chance at all.
After Tang Qian scored a goal with his back, Durant also changed direction and made an emergency shot.
The Warriors passed and cut in and hit a three-pointer. The Lakers also used Tang Qian's support in the middle and low-post screen, allowing Butler to go out and find the opportunity, and then...swipe~ responded with a three-pointer. Tang Qian only needs to be on the court now.
A player like this can make the entire team run smoothly and naturally. Duncan of the Spurs is a typical example of this kind of player. Once he comes on the court, even if he doesn't score a point, he still brings strong offensive help to the team.
Sense of position, anticipation, sense of space, and screen quality are all top-notch. Don't look at the Lakers shooting all over the place. In fact, many of their shots are non-interference shots. Because of the screen quality of No. 29,
It's really too high. He alone has strengthened the energy of the entire system.
This kind of "one star" is really easy to use. Who knows who uses it?
At this point, although the Warriors also have a stable system and tacit cooperation, no one can compare with Tang Qian, a big center, in pick-and-rolls and screens. Even Green, his screen quality is very high and he is very hard, but he
The tonnage and area are there, and it is impossible to surpass a true seven-foot center. In fact, the reason why the Warriors played so smoothly in the past few seasons was that except for moving pick-and-rolls, they were the first to eat welfare and crabs.
The second thing is... the role of "Australian King" Bogut is indispensable. I believe all old fans will understand this. The best pick-and-roll player in the Warriors is not Green, but Bogut, the former No. 1 pick.
With him, there are such good screening opportunities. Now, the Warriors cannot get such good pick-and-roll quality.
The Lakers are just the opposite. They have such quality of coverage, and No. 29 is really excellent in this aspect.
Look at this ball, a low-post screen suddenly appeared, causing Thompson, who was concentrating on chasing, to be hit and grinning. Tang Qian's physical confrontation performance was so good that the opponent was knocked away by the counterattack, but he didn't move at all.
.It was as if there were roots under his feet. Yes. There was not much difference between Thompson's body hitting and hitting a solid wall.
This guy is really too hard. Is he still made of flesh and blood?
It's a pity that the ball was not thrown in and the outside shot was missed. But in terms of creating offensive opportunities for the entire team, the ball just now was absolutely successful. This is also what Larry Brown likes Tang Qian very much. He
From this point of view, Tang Qian is the same as Tim Duncan of the Spurs. Now it seems that he is even better. This... is the real cornerstone of the team and the treasure of the team. Such an insider is still available now
How many are there? In this era where people are eating cakes and having inner skin and outer heart, this kind of ability is simply unique.
With him here, one person can greatly increase the offensive threat of the entire Lakers team.
The Warriors want to shrink the line again and double-team the Lakers' No. 1 position. Unfortunately, Rondo is not Beverley. He is the multiple-time NBA assists champion. As soon as he entered the league, he played beside the Big Three.
So he has seen the cruelty of the playoffs and finals a long time ago. What does this mean? He doesn't care at all.
The Warriors also paid the price because this double team had no effect. Rondo shot the ball very quickly, and the Lakers passed the ball continuously, easily tearing apart the Golden State Warriors' defensive front. Even if Green used himself
The top assist defense ability in history prevented the Lakers from a certain goal, but one goal was okay, but if there were more, how could he prevent them all?
The Warriors made some miscalculations here, but they adjusted quickly and began to cut inside the Lakers' interior and the basket. As long as the Lakers' No. 29 is not inside, it is an opportunity. The Warriors also made good use of this.
.Green cut in immediately after a false block, and when he got the ball, he directly hit the board for a layup.
Because Tang Qian was pulled away by the opponent's five corners, he could only be temporarily powerless and beyond his reach.
It was another stalemate for a period of time. In fact, being able to be in such a stalemate with the Warriors was very difficult and surprised the outside world, because after the Lakers were beaten by the Warriors for 60 points, everyone felt that the offensive power of both sides was
It’s not on the same level. No matter how good the defense is, it’s useless because defense can’t score. Besides, do you think the Golden State Warriors are a weak defensive team? Their defense is also very strong, okay?
So when the Lakers and Warriors were locked in a scoring stalemate, most outsiders found it a bit unbelievable. No kidding, what is the Warriors' offensive capabilities this season? They don't have all the firepower in the playoffs yet.
Kai is a team that averages close to 120 points per game! 120 points! Brother, this is still the playoffs. Even though we have entered the all-out offensive era, that is... too exaggerated.
Is there any team in the entire league that can compete with them in this aspect? No. Didn’t the Lakers previously only rely on defensive suppression to gain local advantages? But now they have transformed into a super team that can compete with the Warriors.
Attacking a strong team? This seems a bit unreal no matter how you look at it.
Regardless of whether you think it's true or not, the Lakers' star-studded team is competing against the Warriors.
A team like the Cavaliers with a super bad defense or a historically bad defensive team can compete with the Warriors, let alone the Los Angeles Lakers who have gathered so many strong defensive players? The Cavaliers cannot compare with this innate condition. Although
The Cavaliers have many superstars, but Tang Qian of the Lakers can't match the Cavaliers' ability to tear the Warriors inside. The star of the Warriors' defense against the Cavaliers is No. 23 LeBron James. In fact, most of them are singles.
Defense-oriented, Iguodala contributed a lot. Although it also allowed opponents to get a lot of data, but that was about 110 to 120 points. If replaced by the previous score of more than 90 points to 100 points, the average game
The data is not that exaggerated. And if you are defending No. 29 of the Lakers, let me ask you, can you defend alone? Absolutely not! If you really dare to do this, blessed by Tang Qian, who has descended from the gods, really dare
I'll score you 80~90 or even 100 points in one breath. So the Warriors have no choice. Defending No. 29 must involve the defensive attention of at least two of them.
In this case, Tang Qian actually has an absolute positional advantage over the Warriors.
Who said their five-small lineup was like a sinkhole under the inside basket?
But why are the playoffs called playoffs? This is one point. The performance of superstars is particularly important. On this point, the Lakers are indeed not in the same position as the Golden State Warriors. The opponent has too many people. And comprehensive
After playing fast, the Lakers' defense will definitely not be as impregnable as it was during the positional war. With a fast pace, a certain degree of defense must be sacrificed. This is an irreversible thing. So the Warriors... stars
Erupted!
Curry, who had been silent for so many games, finally had a solo show.
This also provided a certain degree of redemption for his poor performance in the first half.
You can’t say that Curry has played particularly poorly in this series so far. He averaged 25 to 26 points per game, which is okay. But if you want to say that he is particularly good, you can’t say that. At least in this time and space, he has played a good role.
A "Super Kuhao" player who averaged 33+ points per game. He is a bit more aggressive than before. He averaged 25-26 points per game, which is indeed relatively mediocre.
But if you often watch Warriors games, you must know that Curry cannot be in this state for the entire series. At least in a series, he will break out in 1 or 2 games. Even if he is the best player in history.
A super scorer who is the most effective in double-teaming and surrounding defense, but...that doesn't mean that he will be completely locked up? Then aren't you overthinking it? Everyone says that Curry doesn't play well.
He plays average. This "average" standard is measured by the standard of "Ku Hao" and a super scorer. In fact, if you treat him as an ordinary superstar, then you will find that the data is actually very good.
Therefore, Curry broke out, which is one of the things most uncontrollable by the head coach.
If the opponent's superstar explodes in one breath, how can you defend? The plan will definitely be disrupted. Now, Library is playing such a role. Three-pointers are like missiles, shooting continuously.
one two three.
Swish, swish, swish, three consecutive shots, three of four from three-point range, just like Sun Monkey making a fuss at Nantianmen, immediately widening the score difference. Then he made a sudden steal and charged again, causing Ariza to lose control during the pursuit.
A 2+1. Extra free throw hit. It is equivalent to scoring 12 points in less than 2 minutes in one breath! Who can stand this? The Warriors have such capital and ability. They are not only
It is the team system that can burst out in a wave. Each of their three Tsunami brothers actually has such an ability! This is something that other teams cannot have!
The Lakers immediately wanted to go to the line to double-team Curry, but Curry... actually shot again! Still facing the double-team on the line, he shot a super long-range three-pointer with a retreat!!!!!!!!!!
!HIT!!!!!!!!!
Your sister!!!!!!!Is this done every day????????
But after all, Curry is a super scorer, a two-consecutive MVP, and the best shooter in history. If he is really explosive, then there is still such a level! Otherwise, he cannot afford these titles! Cole is here.
He nodded with satisfaction, yes, your Lakers team has indeed changed a lot, and it was unexpected, but the playoffs... it is still a stage for superstars after all. So, in the end, we just have to eat the personal hard work of the stars.
Strength. Unfortunately, in this regard, in addition to envy and jealousy, you can only be envious and jealous.
In a short period of time, one person scored 15 points in a row! He only missed one shot! This ability is really enough!
However, during this period of the Lakers' offense, there was something wrong with their own offense. It was not the right time to be cold-handed, so the Warriors extended the score to 20 points in one breath! Hey, it's so fast, it's so awesome,
This is called the power of Universe Yong, isn't it? If you make a slight mistake or fail to keep up, you may be taken away by your opponent in a wave.
Curry's 15-point streak is too important. If the Warriors win, then it will be him who stood up at a critical moment and helped the team take away the game.
At this time, the Warriors' firepower did not decline, and the rest of their perimeter players were still scoring. The Lakers immediately felt huge pressure. After all, they had no way out. If they lose this game, they can go home and go fishing.
.
The more this happens, the greater the pressure on role players. The Lakers don't have as many super shooters as the Warriors, and their ability to withstand pressure is still a bit worse. What should we do? The Lakers immediately called a timeout.
Then Larry Brown walked up to Tang Qian and said directly: "Tang, you have to work harder later. We need you."
What do you mean? What is the need? Just...
PS: I'm sorry yesterday. I don't know why Xiao Zi suddenly caught a bad cold. I got an injection today and she's feeling better. I really can't hold on. I'll give Xiao Zi a day's rest and I'll catch up immediately tomorrow~~~ Xiao Zi never owes anything
