Chapter 1763 The opening suppresses the feng shui in turn
Lakers vs. Warriors, Oracle Arena.
This year is also the last year for the Warriors in Oracle. Next year they will move to the Chase Center in San Francisco, so this year they also want to leave a perfect ending for the fans in Oakland. That is to lead the team to win this year's Chase Center.
Larry O'Brien Trophy. Therefore, as soon as they enter the playoffs this year, you will find that the Warriors' state is completely different from the regular season.
The combat effectiveness was really revealed at once.
Before, they were playing casually in the regular season, and everything was for now.
It can be seen from the ball throw that the Warriors' morale is very high today. Tang Qian almost didn't fight for the ball. After the basketball was swatted in front of Tang Qian, it was taken by a Warriors player. This shows that Tang Qian almost didn't fight for the ball.
Diving for the ball is no longer as easy as before. You can also find the position of your teammates during the fight for the ball. The Warriors came first.
The Lakers' starting lineup is Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Kuzma + Thomas + Rondo, while the Warriors' four-star + McGee.

"What do you think the Warriors' offense will be like when Coach Zhang starts it? Oh, it's a goal? It's a three-pointer. Curry's touch was there from the beginning tonight." Meteor Rain said to Wei.
Don Bryant said: "When you play against the Warriors, you must defend their three-pointers, otherwise it will be difficult to beat them. You must not let their three-pointers go wide. This is a top priority.
Heavy. Oops, look at this ball. This pass is so casual. The Warriors are still Curry. Another three-pointer? Another goal! Curry made two three-pointers at the beginning. This is me.
As I just said, you must defend the Warriors' three-pointers well, otherwise it will be a very serious situation if they let them miss. The Lakers can't be too careless at the start."
That being said, the Lakers themselves were stopped at the start because Curry on the opposite side, who didn't know if he was on drugs, actually scored 8 points in a row right from the start, including 2 three-pointers.
Is this guy really just recovering from an injury? Why does it feel like he’s gone to enlightenment?
So fierce?
It can be seen from the start of the Lakers' game. They are not as focused and serious as their opponents, and they are not as ferocious. This year is the first playoff game between the Lakers and the Universe after completely changing their team style, so those previous games
That method may not be useful now. For example, after this timeout, Larry Brown wanted to continue the method of defending Curry. Two years ago, the Lakers completely defended Curry, allowing him to have an extremely high shooting percentage.
In the slump, 73 wins eventually became a joke. They relied on Rondo and Beverley to continuously defend and force the entire court.
Curry suffered a lot of abuse back then, but now...
After all, things are different.
The Lakers did go to the whole court to bite Curry like crazy, but they didn't see it for nothing, and Cole is not a fool. After so long, he has already studied other countermeasures. You have to hold down Curry to catch the ball and dribble in the backcourt.
The ball, right? Sure, we Curry can just be a decoy, and the rest can go up and dribble. He asked everyone on the Warriors to practice this, just to prevent the Lakers from doing this, so
Now facing each other, the Warriors were unhurried and easily dribbled the ball through half the court. Then, seeing that the backcourt could not suppress the Warriors' passing, the Lakers wanted to play in the frontcourt.
Complete the pass and catch attack on Stephen Curry, which is also a move he used before. Even if Durant comes, this move is still effective in suppressing Curry. Unfortunately, Beverley still defends
Very tough, but on Rondo's side... the defense has declined significantly compared to before.
This means that Curry can still score goals and score points, but cannot be blocked.
In 2016, Rondo was on the first defense, and in 2017, Rondo was still on the second defense. What now? After returning from injury, it is obvious that he can no longer maintain the first and second defenses. He is an ordinary defensive elite level, but he has not reached the defensive level.
And this defense is very good for ordinary players and even ordinary stars, and the effect is good. Unfortunately, you are facing the peak Curry. In this way, one will wax and wane, and it will enter Curry's performance time.
.Curry succeeded in consecutive singles. The Lakers' previous method of suppressing him was no longer effective. Even in Beverley, the Warriors were good. Curry used pick-and-rolls and off-ball screens to run wildly.
In the past, the Lakers could have a very complete defensive system to delay rotation, but this system has long lost its previous prestige. At least Thomas is someone who does not need to count on defense, and Kuzma only has enthusiasm.
However, the defensive ability has never been said to be very good. Yi Jianlian also has an average defensive level. His efforts may be limited, which is a league average level, neither good nor bad. Can such a defensive lineup be compared with the defensive lineups of last year and the year before that?
?
No way.
It used to be called a super unlimited defense lineup, but now it has long since collapsed.
And I have said it many times, one person is absolutely not enough to defend a master without the ball, no matter who you are. When someone does not have the ball, the whole team is cooperating, and you alone cannot stop it without the cooperation of the whole team.
Can he survive? Beverley tried his best, you can see it, but it's still not enough, it's still far behind. The rest of the Lakers can no longer give Beverley enough off-ball defensive support.
So this trick was completely torn apart by Curry at the very beginning. The Warriors’ elementary school students told the Lakers with practical actions that this trick is of no use to me now. If you continue like this, I will blow you up.
Look. The situation has been completely reversed. In the past, Curry was exhausted, but now because of the poor effect, it is the Lakers' No. 1 position. The consumption is not proportional to the income. This really cannot continue.
Larry Brown could only call a timeout and choose to make adjustments.
If this continues, it will be detrimental to the Lakers.
Curry held his head high and high-fived his teammates one by one. This feeling of elation made Curry and the entire Warriors team feel comfortable, and the team's desire to win became even more vigorous and intense. The Lakers' situation
Duan played very passively. He was hit hard on the head by his opponent at the beginning and almost lost his mind. They re-signed Bogut this year, one year earlier than the original time and space, in order to completely liberate the Warriors.
Cole knows that as long as the Warriors' shooting line is open, they will be unstoppable. Neither can the Lakers.
The Lakers' previous method was to suppress their own team's scoring and rhythm, and then use positional warfare to wear out the Warriors as much as possible, but now, this season, they can no longer do that. Therefore, Cole believes that this year, the Warriors will break through Los Angeles.
The best opportunity for the Lakers. Cole began to make constant adjustments. He used the original pick-and-roll screen team of Bogut + Green. After playing for a while, various mobile screens emerged in an endless stream. He really found the pick-and-roll of 2016.
The feeling of invincibility. Although Bogut's athletic ability and personal offensive and defensive abilities are not as good as 2 years ago, his pick-and-roll and screen awareness and abilities in this area have still not diminished at all. Take a look at Original Time and Space 2019
As you will know from the 2018 Basketball World Cup, Bogut is still the best in the world. Australia relied on his skills to get to the back.
What drives Larry Brown the most is that he no longer has enough lineup and cards to contain the Warriors' style of play.
We can only forcefully replace Beverley + Covington and cooperate with Tang Qian to barely support it, but the effect is still not good. As long as there is a loophole in this era, it will be fatal. It can open up the space.
There are too many people, especially the Golden State Warriors, who are simply a model for the league in this regard. Then the Warriors replaced Curry and replaced Iguodala in the second half of the first quarter. This was to let...
…Iguodala playing the one position???
What operation is this???
You don't understand, right? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. This is Cole's adjustment, and it is also a set of measures specially thought up for the Lakers' lineup. Although Iguodala plays the 1 position, although the offensive threat seems to be gone, Not as good as Curry, but Iguodala is tall and strong. In addition, Iguodala is also very good at passing the ball. As a non-ball handler and non-stick person, his average per game is worse than that of the Warriors. In recent years, the assist numbers have been 3 to 4, which is very good. In addition, the Warriors' passing pivot point is not Curry, so this change does not pose a big problem to the Warriors.
Instead, use Iguodala to attack the Lakers' No. 1 position!!!
Beverley didn't have any advantage against the more muscular Iguodala, especially when he was in the low post. Even if he tried his best, the effect would be ineffective. Forget it, they actually replaced Levine.
Stone, and then use Livingston to continue playing in the back. It is equivalent to using Livingston + Iguodala to play in the back to occupy the Lakers' No. 1 position. Whoever's turn it is will go. Livingston is still very strong this season.
Yes, there has been no decline, with a shooting percentage of nearly 54% in the playoffs. This year in the original space and time, he hit more than 10 consecutive goals in the finals. In the past 20 years, he is the third person to do so. Tell me a horror story.
Listen, many people may have forgotten that this year's Livingston is super strong. Do you know what his shooting percentage is? It's not high, just 86.7%. What? You think I made a mistake? No, it's impossible.
, is so high, he ranks first in the entire Warriors' field goal percentage. Although he doesn't shoot much, he is also an outside shooter, and a very important point is that he is not a pie-eating insider like Jordan Capela.
The Warriors' role is more of a post-up player.
Yes, for a post-up player, his shooting percentage is almost 90%. Even if he only averages 7-8 points per game, this contribution is really terrible. If you think about it, after all, he only has 10 points per game.
He played so little time. 16 minutes, this data, plus about 3 rebounds and 2 assists, what else do you want? This kind of player can play super bench, and the price is only a few million, it is simply a huge bargain.
Treasure.
Livingston and Iguodala combined to attack the low No. 1 spot, which put the Lakers into a sluggish start.
41-25 in a single quarter, already 16 points behind.
In this wave of blows, the Warriors hit them hard enough, just like the Lakers hit them with the first blow in previous years.
Feng shui is about to take a turn.
