But unlike the last game, everyone, including Tang Qian, underestimated the power of this Universe team and their strong revenge mentality against the Lakers. Losing for so many years in a row, and all with a better lineup, is really disappointing.
It's unbearable. These stars all have self-esteem. What do you think they are doing when they gather together? Have beer and skewers and eat barbecue?
They came here just for the championship and to prove themselves. But being beaten down all the time, this...cannot prove themselves.
And this year, we have also told you that if it doesn’t happen this year, you won’t have to pay the terrible luxury tax. Because no one will be a runner-up. No, you haven’t even entered the finals yet. You have been taken advantage of for so many years.
.The situation with the New York Knicks is really rare. You can only find one owner out of 10,000 sports clubs. Obviously, the big boss of the Warriors, known as "Kneeling Lacob", is not so stupid.
.
Of course, if he wins the championship this year, it will be different. He doesn't lack the money either.
Therefore, the pressure is on the players. If they can win, they can get a future, a big contract, a championship, and even the founding of a new dynasty. Endorsement contracts, praise and praise will all follow. If you can't do it, then.
At once……
So Cole took full advantage of this. During the halftime break, in the visiting team's locker room, he erased all the tactics, precautions, and key points on the whiteboard. Then he turned around and said to all the Warriors players:
Do you really want to win? Don’t forget that your team lineup and player strength are overall better than the Los Angeles Lakers. Of course, the opportunity is in your own hands. To be honest, I am just a master.
Coach, whether you played well or not, my record is still good anyway. I still get the contract. There are many outstanding coaches in NBA history who have not won the championship. So, it doesn’t matter to me.
The ring is your ring. You don’t want it, so what do I want?
From now on, don’t use any tactics. If you want to win, just win according to your body’s will. If you want to lose, it’s up to you. Don’t delay my wife and I going to a Michelin restaurant for dinner in the evening.
After saying that, Cole sat aside and went directly to play with his mobile phone. Then the assistant coach came out to talk. It seemed that Cole really didn't plan to do anything next. But little Walton knew that this was another plan of Cole's because
He saw the flash of Cole's expression when he turned his back.
This guy...the Zen master is really good at his tricks.
Don't tell me, this suddenly made the Warriors players, especially the stars, feel a huge sense of shame. And the key is that they felt that what Cole said was right. The Warriors were disbanded and he was still the head coach.
He still gets the contract he deserves, and it won't have any impact at all. Because until now, apart from the big-name coaches who bought the rings, how many people can still get the rings? Just Jackson, Auerbach and Lay
Li, by the way, there is also the old thief Bobo, so nearly half of the rings are gone. How many people are there? There is also the older John Kudar, who also has four or five championships. Plus some 2 consecutive
For coaches who have won championships, really, if you break it down, the probability of the coach winning the championship is far smaller and more difficult than that of the players.
That's why Cole said that if he can't get the ring, it won't affect anything. Of course, this is what he said himself. Whether he thinks so or not, let's just say two things. Little Walton still knows a little bit about Cole.
Coaching ambitions. After being treated like this, the Warriors seemed much more serious than the Lakers when they came back on the court. No matter whether you are a basketball player or not, the atmosphere is good, but it is basically a fierce game. If you play happy basketball, who will be happy?
He will die quickly.
Unless you are overwhelmed by strength, otherwise, it is better to be more serious.
Seriousness sometimes means seriousness and concentration.
So as soon as they came up, the Warriors gave the Los Angeles Lakers a three-game combo. Curry made a steal and then shot a three-pointer. He missed but caused a foul on Westbrook. He made 3 of 3 free throws from the free throw line. Thompson back
Ingram, who was still skinny after being beaten, got a steal from Iguodala, and then was violated on the way down. He made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. The Lakers only got 1 point through Tang Qian's free throw.
The 6-pointer went out.
108-101, only leading by 7 points.
This is the Warriors, and they should not be underestimated. Tang Qian immediately reminded the team to take it seriously, but without the support of the assist card, the Lakers' outside shooting rate began to decline. Nonsense, it was so high before, it is already 100%, can
It’s not going down. If it’s not going down, then it’s really screwed up. Moreover, the Warriors’ defensive intensity has gone up. They are indeed the team with the strongest small ball defense in the original time and space. They have been in the top three for many years. Stability is not guaranteed.
In terms of performance, no one can compare with them. Now they have a five-small lineup, and their mobility and defense delay speed have reached the extreme. In addition, their concentration has also increased, and their state seems to have been stimulated to a certain extent.
That's why the Lakers only missed two or three balls, and the score was within 5 points in the blink of an eye!
Immediately, Larry Brown called a timeout! This is the Cosmos team, we can't take it lightly! What kind of ghosts are they fighting! He couldn't hold back his anger, and he roared all over the head. I really don't know this little body.
How come you have so much stamina and energy to get started? It seems that those who can be NBA coaches are not ordinary people.
After shouting, seeing that the whole team looked much more serious, Larry Brown immediately took out his tactical plan and said: "Reduce the number of independent offensive shots during this period on the outside, and give the ball to the inside first. Don't make blind shots by yourself. If there is an opportunity, the outside will be empty."
Then take action. The tactics will be called No. 77 later. Do you understand?” This can’t be blamed on them. It felt so good in the first half. Of course, there were still a few mistakes at the beginning of the second half, but
, just these few moves have allowed the Warriors to catch up. On the Warriors side, Cole adopted the same approach as in the locker room before, saying nothing and doing nothing. It seemed like he was letting things go.
The main thing is to let Little Wharton speak on his behalf from the front.
It seems that he has his hands folded and doesn't care about anything, but what Walton is saying now is not what Cole and him have discussed and what he wants to say? I really think Cole doesn't care about this game. He is
He cares more than anyone else. How can he really be a hands-off shopkeeper at a critical moment? Little Wharton kept saying from the front: "Well done to everyone! That's it! We do who we are! We play ourselves!"
!!That’s it! That’s enough!!! We can beat any team!”
Live broadcast across the country. Kenny Smith here also said that the Lakers were a bit careless during this period. It was okay for a while to shoot long shots against the Warriors, but if you keep doing this, you will still suffer. Because the stability of your touch will
Not as good as the opponent. In the last game, the Tyrant had a rebounding explosion, and in the first half of this game, I felt invincible. This is actually not a normal situation.
Kenny Smith was right, and Barkley nodded in agreement. Then they all thought that the Warriors deserved to be the Warriors, and they were indeed not that easy to defeat. 70 points in a single quarter! This average team would have collapsed long ago.
OK! How can we still fight back? This is hard power, it’s just that hard.
But if the death five is small, Tang Qian can give full play to it. The problem of asking for the ball inside is not a big problem for him. Heavy positioning + power to move the position is enough to solve it. If the opponent double-teams, he can also
You can get the ball by turning around and cutting in, or by coming out to cover and then moving in without the ball. The latter is something that even the top O'Fatty can't do. Because the top O'Fatty has no problem with the front, but behind, he
He doesn't have that much physical energy to do it. In fact, if you watch the Lakers' Olympic game, you will know that he is actually not very active in playing screens and pick-and-rolls. With this kind of physical exertion, he feels that he is not as good as himself.
He's going to play in the low post.
O'Neal's laziness is generally recognized, and he himself has publicly talked about this problem, so he is also a typical lazy player.
And why is this? Isn't it because he is not physically fit enough and is afraid that this will affect his offensive performance? Otherwise, do you think he doesn't know that doing this will be more beneficial to revitalizing the team's offensive operation? Tang Qian does not have this problem at all.
So it's really not easy to restrain him. Besides, Westbrook's guard of the Lakers is also good at passing the ball. Westbrook can't control the court, but his passing skills are still okay. So Tang Qian started his brutal performance.
.
Although the crazy three-point frenzy from the outside has passed, their confidence in shooting has also come out. If Tang Qian really gives them an outside shot, it is an opportunity, and they will not be too hesitant to take action. The first half of the game
Feeding, that's not a lie. Now even Westbrook feels that he feels very good about his three-pointer tonight. In this way, the Warriors' defense will be more difficult, and they basically cannot guard against the Lakers.
Although their outside line is also strong and they don't want to lose this game, the stability of No. 29 is too high. With the small ball lineup, you can work hard in addition to passing, receiving and stealing. Real defensive blocking and
Interference is a fantasy.
Iguodala had already grabbed No. 29 before he saw the goal, but he still relied on his large tonnage and strong core stability to forcefully score the goal! He got a 2+1 opportunity! This force,
Iguodala was a little at a loss. It really brought him back to his rookie days, the fear of being dominated by that big shark.
These so-called strong players in small ball are not the same enemy at all.
Without the combination of a tank and strong defense, it would be difficult to just restrict him.
So we can only think of ways to attack. The Warriors have not played well during this period. The performance of the players, no, the stars, is wonderful. Durant even scored 11 points in a row.
However, this still didn't help them overcome the score difference. Because No. 29 was too stable.
Seeing this, Little Wharton asked if he wanted to change people, including a meat shield and a big inside line.
As a result, Cole shook his head, as if he had some plan, and said: Wait a moment, there is no rush.
