Kobe dominated Harden, and Feng dominated Howard.——Lakers Nation.
Kobe Bryant has not scored 40+ points in five consecutive games. Is his fatigue showing? - ESPN.
Is Nash the most important core of this Lakers team? The data shows the Lakers' takeoff! - ESPN.
Next team! Golden State Warriors! — Laker Nation.
We will try our best to cause trouble for the Lakers! - Warriors head coach Mark Jackson.
This kind of remarks makes Curry, the core of the team, unhappy, because what he wants is not to cause trouble but to win. He wants to stop the Lakers' astonishing 31-game winning streak! In this way,
It's time to put their team logo and profile picture on the sports pages.
Can we beat the Lakers? That's for sure! I've always had confidence! - Stephen Curry.
On April 11, on the eve of the game, Curry had a heated argument with head coach Mark Jackson.
"Stephen, why are you talking like that? You are irritating your opponents! Do you understand when they look at each other in anger?" Mark Jackson asked loudly. He really has not been optimistic about Curry from the beginning to the future. This season
In the preseason, it was publicly stated that if Curry performed like this again, he would be benched. In the future, James Harden was also selected in the MVP battle. Later, there were also remarks that Curry hurt the game.
All this shows that Mark Jackson is a stubborn fool.
Even though they have MVP-level players in their hands, they still feel that the Warriors have a poor lineup and cannot be considered a strong team.
Curry was fine before, but as his abilities increased, Curry became increasingly dissatisfied with some of Mark Jackson's practices.
What does it mean to keep such a low profile in front of opponents? Are our Warriors really inferior to our opponents? Is Stephen Curry really that bad???
"Mr. Jackson, I don't think there is any problem with my remarks." Curry said without bowing his head: "We are also a playoff team, and we are also contenders for the championship now. Why should we do this to others?
Are the Lakers so cautious and humble? I think you are only increasing the arrogance of your opponents and hurting the Warriors themselves."
Curry has become more and more "undisciplined" recently, which makes Mark Jackson dislike him more and more. Besides, he has never been optimistic about Curry before. In his eyes, he is a perimeter player who only knows how to shoot three-pointers.
, it is simply impossible to become the main core of a strong team. After all, when has the NBA's pitching team won a championship? No one has done it in so many years, Curry? He is not tall, heavy, not heavy in software and hardware.
A very ordinary person? Can he break the rules?
impossible!
Mark Jackson never felt that he had a championship card in his hand from the beginning to the end, so his anger ended here.
Championship, maybe he vaguely fantasized about it when he was daydreaming and drunk.
This is the biggest ideological conflict between him and Curry! He thinks the Warriors are a playoff team, nothing more. What about the latter? He thinks this is just the beginning! The Warriors' goal is no worse than the Lakers!
The same is the Larry O’Brien Trophy!!!
"What did you say?" Mark Jackson said angrily: "I am doing this for the sake of the team, do you understand???"
"Me too." Curry said forcefully. He felt more and more that he was not in tune with the head coach in front of him. Maybe that...
In the end, the two broke up on bad terms, but as long as Mark Jackson is the head coach of the Warriors, they will not be able to unleash the kind of team destructive power that they will have in later generations. Because Mark Jackson, whether it is his mentality, style of play or use of players,
Later, Cole proved that he was a "stinky dog." So from the beginning of this game, the Warriors were at a disadvantage.
Mark Jackson's tactical arrangements have remained unchanged for thousands of years. They are all outdated and mechanized things. They have been the same for three years. His opponents have begun to slowly study and understand them, and he has no intention of changing. However,
, the Warriors were still very restrained against the Lakers. The Warriors players, led by Curry, fired a lot from outside, and the Lakers' twin towers were unable to do anything. Nonsense, if Tang Qian and Gasol continue to fight, will they be able to reach three?
Defending outside the three-point line? Occasionally one or two cover-ups are okay, but if you want to do this for the whole game, you will be beaten by the Warriors. What if you don’t go out? You will still have a headache even if you don’t go out, because they are really too accurate.
The touch came, and he shot three-pointers randomly. The Lakers were overwhelmed, and their defense almost collapsed.
The defense of this Lakers team is completely based on the inside, relying on the super suppression ability of the inside to cover up the deficiencies in the outside and overall defense. What about the outside? Except for Kobe, everyone else's defense is below the standard.
To a certain extent, the team's morale and momentum have improved a lot recently due to the super winning streak, but rotation and tactical understanding cannot be improved at the same time.
This is the real world, not a game. Therefore, once a team can completely avoid the Lakers' inside line, the Lakers will become more and more difficult to defend and become more and more dilapidated. Again, outside players are basically the same.
It's impossible to take care of multiple players. Moreover, the Warriors' strong shooting ability is obviously much stronger than at the beginning of the season.
The two most prominent ones are Curry and Klay Thompson. If you give them a little space, they will shoot three-pointers. Such players who are so confident and persistent in three-pointers have never appeared in the NBA before.
Even the group of players who are known as super shooters are far from their three-point ability.
The title of "Splash Brothers" will slowly begin from the end of this season.
Their tacit understanding and running-in are gradually becoming perfect. As long as a suitable leader appears, the outside nuclear explosion will shock the entire league and the entire basketball world. It is no exaggeration to say that the combination of the two of them will be a pair.
A combination that breaks the fixed view of history. It is also the so-called basketball conclusion that "a shooting team cannot win the championship".
A few years later, this may seem like a fallacy, but at that time, in the 2013-2014 season, this was still an iron rule that most people agreed with. Even many insiders believed it.
"This team is a bit exaggerated. Their firepower is so fierce? Is this an extraordinary performance? Otherwise, overall, it is really not something that ordinary teams can bear." Steve Nash said while drinking water below. He today
Wan was really hurt. Curry beat him up in all kinds of ways, and there was nothing he could do about it.
It's not that Nash doesn't work hard on defense, it's really that Curry is too strong now.
Although he is not a perverted one-on-one monster like Kobe, he is not something that ordinary people can defend. Otherwise, do you really think that Curry's every ball is a screen and a pick-and-roll shot? If so, you should go for it.
Take a look at the Warriors' future game videos, and at least take a look at Curry's scoring highlights. This guy's one-on-one ability is actually equally good.
Just talking about frontal shooting, he can defeat 90% of the defenders in the league.
You don't have a perimeter to defend, and you still want to defend the best three-point shooter in history? Isn't this a joke?
Do you think every team has Kobe and James?
The 40-year-old Nash defended Curry head-on and was shot. This is completely normal.
Because let alone Curry, perimeter players who can defeat Nash's defense can be seen almost everywhere in the league.
In just 2 quarters, Curry has already scored 30 points. It seems that if Nash continues to defend, he is very likely to score 50 points in one breath tonight!
"Their style of play is a bit unconventional, and the proportion of interior offense is really low." Gasol also said: "But their interior defense is also average. I can seize the opportunity to try more." This season, because Green has not yet
Being valued by Mark Jackson, the Warriors' inside combination is David Lee + Harrison Barnes. And because Mark Jackson does not have Cole's set of hard skills in defensive integration, the Warriors have been poor defensively all year round.
There is no orderliness or integrity at all.
Naturally, a team like this won't make it far in the playoffs.
What about Cole? It not only improves the team's offensive power, but also has a very important point, defense! Defense! The Warriors with Cole are the top two teams in the league in both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency!!! This is
This point has only appeared four times in 40 years, and he has experienced it personally three times. Because the strongest team, that is, the team that ranked first in offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency, was the 72-win Bulls in the 1995-96 season. This is
It is also the only "double first" team in 40 years.
The power of dominance is astounding in ancient times and today.
Mark Jackson???Sorry, under his leadership, the Warriors' offense is okay, but their defense? Basically, there has never been a shadow of the Warriors in the top ten in the league. Counting from the back, it is quite possible to be in the top ten.
This is the gap between the head coach and the team.
No defense? Do you want to win to the end? What is that if not a dream?
D'Antoni arranged for Kobe to mark Curry at the beginning of the third quarter, and it worked as expected, but... the defender Klay Thompson broke out again!!! The Splash Brothers are difficult to defend, and that's reflected here. You defend one,
There is another outbreak. No matter how strong Kobe is, there is only one person. There is no way for one person to take care of two people.
So by the end of the third quarter, the two teams were still 5 points apart, and the Lakers were almost overtaken by their opponents several times. Good thing, it was only the third quarter, and the scores of both sides were actually over 90 points!!
!This kind of destructive ability is simply a bit scary.
Naturally, the Warriors performed a little extraordinarily well, but even so, the Lakers still felt the pressure.
Will the team's 31-game winning streak fall to the Warriors??? to a team with 48 wins???
In the last quarter, D'Antoni figured it out and simply took Gasol, speeding up the entire game, with one senior and four juniors to attack the Warriors.
Except for Tang Qian, it's Kobe + Nash + Nick Young + Meeks.
This lineup is indeed poor in defensive ability on the outside, but you can't resist their strong firepower. Under the leadership of Nash, the whole court ran wildly and bombed the whole court. The team's scores simply increased. The Warriors did not admit defeat. In the "splash"
Under the leadership of "Brothers", they responded in the fourth quarter with wild shots from outside. In the eyes of Lakers commentator Bill McDonald, this was like a "Western Blockbuster", with both sides constantly pulling the trigger. Staples
The gunfire from the center of Sri Lanka never stopped from the beginning of the game.
However, the scene is really exciting and beautiful. Especially in the 13-14 season, when the entire league has not yet fully adopted small ball.
It's refreshing.
But in the last half of the quarter, a turning point appeared. The Warriors' defense was not strong and their isolation ability was insufficient. They were stepped on by the Lakers. Tang Qian had several key rebounds and Kobe's consecutive key singles, defeating the Warriors in one wave.
Towards the end, the principle of switching from complex to simple tactics became more evident. Mark Jackson of the Warriors was still engaging in some "3A coordination tactics", while the Lakers just handed the ball to Kobe and then opened the court.
Compared with the Warriors, playing this way can reduce mistakes to a minimum.
This is also the essence of the "Zen Master" triangle offense. At the last moment, the basketball is in the hands of the best player, allowing him to have the most comfortable one-on-one opportunity. This is for the crazy one-on-one Kobe Bryant, this season, one-on-one,
That's the vacancy.
Whether at his peak or at his super-peak this season, his singles field goal percentage exceeded his overall season field goal percentage! In this regard, since statistics began to be collected in the 21st century, he is the first and only one.
one!
So competing against Kobe Bryant in singles this season is an act of suicide.
The Warriors' tactics were too complicated, but the Lakers were just the opposite. As expected, in addition to being unable to defend Kobe, the overall key mistakes were also factors in the Warriors' final failure. This is inevitable. Multiple data show that in the final period,
Because the opponent's defensive concentration will be greatly improved, too many tactics combined with too many passes can easily cause mistakes. This is human nature, and not everyone's ability to withstand pressure is as strong as that of a superstar.
of.
In fact, even superstars sometimes cannot handle the pressure? Not to mention other roles and ordinary players.
You can’t make every player on the court a star, right? Except for the All-Star team, it’s difficult for ordinary teams to achieve this. So the “Zen Master version” of the triangle offense is the last moment, and everything returns to zero and becomes the most primitive one.
A one-on-one singles strategy.
At first, many people thought this was stupid and had no technical content. But with time and retirement, it has now become one of the basketball truths of American basketball. Including the American Dream Team, this practice has been continued.
At the last moment, try to ensure a one-on-one relationship.
In one fell swoop, the style of European teams running tactical balls at the end was broken.
Because if you think about it carefully, this is the ultimate tactic that is most in line with human nature and people's hearts.
What's more, you have super one-on-one champions like Jordan and Kobe in your lineup. You are "maximizing your advantage" by playing like this.
What's wrong with that? Basketball is a competitive sport, and what ultimately matters is winning or losing, or the winner-takes-all jungle theory.
Why should the Warriors bring in Durant in the future? Isn't it the critical moment, when tactical balls and coordination balls are difficult to play, and do they need a "tactical point" that can be fatal without relying on tactics?
I am tactics. This is the super role of Bulls Jordan and Lakers Kobe.
At the last moment, the Warriors collapsed. They were unable to pose a threat to the Lakers and Kobe to this extent. In addition, their touch dropped and they were at a disadvantage in rebounding, so losing became inevitable. Curry made the last desperate shot.
After the three-pointer. The Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 145-130. 145 points, which is also the highest score for the Lakers in a single season. The whole team scored, eight players were in double figures, and Kobe scored 47 points.
, Tang Qian had 19 points, Nash had 18 points, Nick Young had 15 points, Meeks had 14 points, and Gasol had 15 points. This game once again proved that the Lakers' style of play has completely changed! They are no longer
The positional mode that was used in the previous 60 games has accelerated completely and entered the super small ball game.
Nash scored 17 assists, which is also his personal high this season.
32 consecutive wins!!! The Lakers seem unstoppable!!!
