The Western Conference Finals have begun, the Staples Center is at home, and the Lakers have the home court advantage.
Since the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers have played many games at home, including six consecutive Staples games. I wonder if you are afraid! Therefore, the morale at home has also reached an unprecedented peak!
Nowadays, countless signs have the same concept, that is, 4 consecutive victories! You can do it, Tyrant Tang!!!
Tang Qian also raised his hands to accept everyone's shouts. He is the king here and has such qualifications.
During the live announcement, Tang Qian was also the last player to appear. When Bill MacDonald shouted loudly:
From the far east, the King of Los Angeles, No. 29, Tyrant~~Tang~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!
After Kobe said this, the title of the King of Los Angeles was firmly established here, and Magic also added fuel to the fire, suddenly making Tang Qian's fame reach its peak in Los Angeles. To be honest, the Lakers have this advantage, famous players
The seniors are very supportive and considerate of the juniors, without any intention of giving lessons. From West to Magic to Kobe, these lifelong Lakers players are almost all like this. Don't ask, just ask because purple and gold flows in the blood.
s color.
It's easy to say, but hard to do.
Just look at O'Neal and you will know that there is no such thing at all. Being petty is as big as a pinhole.
Either you suppress him and stop him from talking nonsense, or you listen to him keep beeping and dissing you. O'Neal does this kind of thing often. From Howard to Embiid, everyone has been dissed by him.
Including the former future star of the Lakers, Bynum.
But O'Neal is not the soul of the Lakers, so we can't talk about it. As long as people like West, Magic, and Kobe agree.
Tang Qian doesn't talk nonsense. If you give me the best treatment and you give me face, then I have no reason to leave. He can't do that kind of thing of staying together at the top to keep warm. He would rather not have a champion in the future.
, and will not do so.
Staples gave the opponent a lot of noise, but you can see that the opponent was almost expressionless. The state of mind of this team has reached an extreme, and they will not be easily affected by a little noise.
It's affected. The opponent's lineup came out, and it was naturally the five-star lineup as expected, Curry + Thompson + Durant + Green + Cousins! The five-star lineup, peak firepower! From the inside to the outside, it is omnipotent and omnipotent.
No! The strongest starting lineup in history is already a certainty. Because no historical team can achieve this level. Even the famous F4, its reputation is actually greater than its strength. At least two of them are elderly.
The veterans are no longer as brave as they used to be. But these five of them are a solid group of people, at the top of their game, and none of them is missing an arm or a leg.
However, there is no chance of fighting for the ball. Cousins will definitely not be able to compete with No. 29.
So... give up directly tactically, switch to defense and retreat quickly to prevent the opponent from launching a blitz with Westbrook and stealing points in the beginning. This team has obviously done everything it should do. The Lakers did not have good opportunities in the past, and then threatened
If you don’t ask for a pick-and-roll, do it yourself! What’s interesting is that Westbrook never seems to be in good shape when playing against Curry. This is really not a joke. When two people play the same position, Westbrook is obviously better physically than Curry.
More, but even if the opponent is short of major generals, he has never performed particularly well. They are all in the No. 1 position, and they should have a lot of matchup data. Even in the space age, he has the most direct contact with opponents, unless
Substitutions were made from the beginning. But obviously, the Warriors had no intention of doing so.
Because they all felt that Curry defended Westbrook very well and there was no need to do so.
Westbrook is also a tough guy, so he took action when he saw the opportunity. Based on the physical fitness of the two people, the Lakers also chose to open up offensive space for Ravel Westbrook. With such a well-prepared offense,
Westbrook was playing alone against Curry, but the defense didn't come over much. He was probably going to be awesome, right? It's a pity that Westbrook didn't score the ball.
Forget about one missed shot, Westbrook, as the main offensive point in this quarter, actually made 2 of 8 shots in a single quarter! Everyone's eyes would pop out when they saw this!!! It's not anything else, mainly because they can't believe it! This is
Westbrook! Known as the No. 1 position in NBA history, he may be one of the most physically fit players. Perhaps, there is no such thing. Such a physical monster can't beat Stephen Curry in singles? Defense
If you can't guard the end, the Lakers are mentally prepared to admit it. Curry is a super master without the ball. If you can't guard it, that's normal. Westbrook's defensive characteristics are not originally assist defense and tactical defense.
He can still defend alone, but Stephen Curry is not the type to open up singles.
However, Westbrook didn't play well on the offensive end, which was a bit unexpected.
Because there is a big gap between Curry's physical fitness and him, relying on Westbrook's impact should not be like this. And everyone has just seen clearly that Westbrook has not attracted much attention from the Golden State Warriors.
, there are very few assisting defenses. This kind of offensive space and offensive opportunities should be very comfortable. It is also the offensive method that Westbrook prefers.
Therefore, everyone is full of confidence in him.
But they don't know that tonight Curry has already taken the initiative to guard against that super little steel cannon.
This seemed a bit silly and a bit out of his mind, but under Curry's strong insistence, Cole still did it. Unexpectedly, the effect was really good. Curry was really good at defending Westbrook.
, confrontation timing, and harassment were all done almost perfectly, as if he knew the opponent's offensive patterns and offensive routines by heart. This made the whole Golden State Warriors team's morale soar, and they were crazy about Curry's wonderful performance.
Call!!!
If you think it's just an accident, then I'm sorry, Westbrook continues to play like this, keep playing! And he also fell into Curry's trash talk provocation and started to take it! Isn't this the ball? In the past, the Lakers have
He hasn't finished his positioning yet. He grabbed the ball and made a top shot! I'm going to say no, Venus Westbrook, your offensive strength is not here!
Don't come here blindly!!!
But Westbrook, this guy, likes to challenge others and shoot three-pointers! Curry is also eager for Westbrook to do this. He immediately continued to spray, and Westbrook took action, which was a little out of control! Lakers Larry
Brown had no choice but to make a substitution. He replaced Beverley in an attempt to suppress Curry! Unfortunately, Curry is no longer the same guy as before, and the team now has so many
At the offensive point, he only needs to run around, and there are plenty of opportunities. Beverley can no longer directly start to defend with the ball and put pressure on him like he did a few years ago. Instead, he was brushed by others and shot 2
A three-pointer goes in!
No, I can't stop it. Curry had a big explosion tonight, and Beverley couldn't hold it back anymore.
And Beverley is already the Lakers' best defensive No. 1 position.
No kidding, when Westbrook plays Curry, his shooting percentage has never been above 40% in his career, it is more than 30%. Curry is very experienced in playing Westbrook, and his shooting percentage is almost 50%. This is attack
There is a huge gap in efficiency, and he averages more matchup points per game than Westbrook. Therefore, Westbrook's offensive and defensive firepower is completely crushed by his opponents. The crushing is inexplicable, but he just can't play well! No
Some idea!
Facing Beverley, Curry is the king of violent hits. His career statistics have exploded frequently. His shooting percentage is higher than that of Westbrook. In the playoffs, it is extremely close to 50%! What is even more exaggerated is the three-pointer.
The shooting percentage is actually... close to 50%!!! Damn it, what happened? Are all the Lakers guys beaten by Curry? With these five-star lineups, Curry's space is simply infinite.
If you defend alone, you can't stop his off-ball movement at all. He is too coquettish! In the past, the Warriors only had Curry as a stable offensive point with the ball. At that time, Thompson lacked the ability to hold the ball. Only then can he be
Beverly took advantage.
But now, there is nothing left. Curry can run around at will in this infinite offensive space. With the free movement rules, Beverley does not dare to reach out more when he does not have the ball. In this way, Curry
He continued to explode and scored consecutively! The Lakers almost collapsed at the No. 1 position! Still not good? Then let’s get a player with a little more experience. Wade, you are a veteran of the old world. This general manager
That’s it.
The Peak Flash is actually still very strong, but now... his legs and feet are also slow, and it is even harder to catch up without the ball.
Curry is the new generation king of the Western Conference Finals. Yuan Shikong has even produced violent statistics this year, averaging 36+8+7 per game. I wonder if you are afraid! Such a Curry is simply unstoppable, as if
It’s like having the aura of the King of the Western Conference. It’s too scary.
Wade was also stunned. No, why is this guy so strong? His mentality and state are at their peak tonight. Even if you give him physical confrontation and make small moves, he will say nothing.
The whole person maintained an absolutely calm and ruthless mode. In the first half, the Lakers were extremely unfavorable in defending the opponent's No. 1 position, so they were suppressed. The opponent led the Los Angeles Lakers by 11 points 69-58.
So many.
Back in the locker room, the Lakers made detailed adjustments. If they couldn't stop them at the first point, they would adopt a defensive approach. However, this was only treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Because this team had too many people who could shoot the basket, so they simply couldn't.
The Lakers were almost crippled. No, they couldn't fight like this! Seeing that the score difference was about to be greatly widened, the Lakers immediately used Tang Qian to force a pick-and-roll attack and hit a few balls. The opponent immediately came to assist.
Defense, but at this time, the ball was intercepted by the opponent.
External transfer failed!
Internal and external transmission also failed!
Because Westbrook is not on the court now, the Lakers' passing ability has naturally declined, and the Warriors are the team with the highest steal ability in the league. If you do this, aren't you giving your opponents a chance? In the past, the opponent would just convert a three-pointer.
The ball directly widened the score difference! It went straight to 20 points! The Lakers took a timeout! The game was stopped!
There was no way, the Lakers were paying a heavy price for being careless at the beginning or choosing the wrong main attack point.
This kind of top team is also playing against old rivals. Any mistake will be infinitely amplified by the opponent. Curry's attack tonight is not important, it is mainly defense. He has allowed Westbrook of the Lakers to score directly so far.
2 goals in sports games, this is simply beyond the psychological bottom line of the Lakers. Westbrook has already made 16 shots, and only scored 2? Is it too exaggerated?
No, not an exaggeration!
In the original time and space, Westbrook has faced Curry since the 17-18 season, and his shooting percentage has been getting lower every time.
As of 2020, in the last five games, Westbrook had a shooting percentage of less than 20% under Curry's defense in three games, and one of them only had a shooting percentage of 10%. Therefore, Curry is
It’s not false that Westbrook is getting better and better at defending Westbrook. The Lakers’ initial tactical setup also had problems. Westbrook should not be allowed to hold the ball and play hard. Westbrook should be allowed to play misplaced pick-and-roll singles. But, by the way
Come back, who would have thought so much in the face of such a huge physical advantage?
Who would have thought that Westbrook would hit Curry so hard??? When did Curry's defense become so good?
It was really one wrong step and one wrong step after another.
Now the Lakers must fill in the holes in front of them. This is all to pay for the mistakes in the past and pay tuition.
However, the Lakers certainly would not give up easily. Tang Qian led the team to launch a counterattack, going straight and letting go of their opponent's No. 4 position, Draymond Green! How similar is this scene to last season? The last one
We relied on this to win the season and recover from many disadvantages. So it didn’t look good tonight. Something went wrong in the past, and now we have to do something to get it back.
But, but, no one thought that this would have an effect, and it seemed to be successful.
Green's three-point shooting this year is indeed the same as last year, as bad as ever.
It can even be said to be even worse. In the regular season, it is only 28%. So far in the playoffs, it has almost fallen below 2%. Therefore, by doing this, the Lakers seem to have immediately gained a huge defensive advantage? They can easily turn defeat into victory just like last year.
???
No, that's not the case.
Because Cole had already calculated this move.
He will not continue to overturn because of this mistake. He did not wait for this season in vain. He studied it for the entire season and immediately came up with countermeasures.
That is……
PS: We agreed to give Tang Qian’s playoff statistics. Let’s take a look at the first season first. Everyone can take a closer look. Xiao Zi calculated all the statistics manually. Give Xiao Zi a thumbs up~~~woo woo
