Chapter 760: A Man Who Loves Basketball
After the Warriors came up with a complicated positioning cover, the Zen master's face was very ugly.
The Warriors' positional cover was clearly a long run-in, a weapon they never came up with. And now, in the regular season, they have taken out this secret weapon that should have been played in the playoffs, what does that mean?
Is there anything else the Warriors haven't pulled out of their pants pockets, and the Warriors aren't afraid of their secret weapon being exposed early, and they have the determination to beat the Lakers in the playoffs?
"Today's Southern California derby was such a surprise to us." "I never thought the Golden State Warriors would be able to reinvent the Southern California derby and they play each other four times a season in the regular season, and they can continue to evolve something new for us in so many games," Barkley said. ”
Timothy Glenn didn't want to expose the tactics of positioning and covering today, but Chen Mo didn't care.
"As a strong team, a super team that wants to dominate for several years, we have to have the confidence to play with our opponents and win." Chen Mo has always believed that the strongest fortress is always defeated from within. To prevent their fortress from crumbling from within, a good vibe is one thing, and the heart of a fearless champion is the most important.
Timothy Glenn has great trust in Chen Mo, Chen Mo easily convinces him, and they take out the positioning cover in this game.
Paul's three-pointer didn't make the Warriors hesitate, and they continued to execute their tactics with determination.
On the offensive end, he was constantly positioning and covering, forcing Howard to defend.
On the defensive end, they don't switch defenses, don't pinch shots, and give the Lakers a chance to attack one-on-one, or jump shots directly after covering.
This offensive pattern is a very uncomfortable pattern for the Lakers, but they still have to play like this.
"L.A. people are very uncomfortable." Barkley said.
"The Oaklanders shrunk and then kept sending Dwyanne to the free-throw line and letting Kobe Bryant go single." "What a shrewd strategy, it's time for Phil [Jackson] to solve the problem," Smith said. ”
Zen Master is not a particularly good coach who directs on the spot, he likes to let the players solve problems on their own. So, many people say that he is a superstar nanny.
But superstar nannies are sometimes also an ability, and James's career has never worked with a super-famous coach, which is very telling. In the world, it is difficult to find a "superstar nanny" as good as a Zen master. ”
Today, the Los Angeles Lakers are indeed out of luck. They were blown up by the Warriors' positional cover.
The interspersed runs of Chen Mo, Curry, and Thompson have added a lot of running defense to the Lakers.
"They turned basketball into a long-distance race." Howard sat on the sidelines panting, he was agitated.
Bryant's face was gloomy, sweat dripping down his chin and onto the floor. He didn't wipe it, let the sweat run, not knowing what he was thinking.
Paul looked up at the ceiling of the arena, and the gloom in his heart can be imagined.
Chen Mo and Curry scored 33 and 31 points, respectively, today, and they wrapped towels around their heads. Chen Mo's elbow was on his knee, and his palm dragged his chin. Curry tucked his braces into his leggings and sat in his chair and nibbled on his fingers.
The audience in the back couldn't tell which of the two of them was who was from the back.
This is where the expected Southern California derby comes to an end.
Oracle Arena fans enjoyed a night like this, and even though most of the final quarter was garbage time, they were still happy.
They are one step closer to another miraculous record this season, which the team most expected to add one to the Warriors' losses failed to do.
Spinach has adjusted the odds for the Warriors to break the 72-win regular-season record to 1.05 to 1, and they believe that the Warriors have a more than 99% chance of breaking the 72-win regular-season record.
In probability, something with a probability of more than 99% occurring is called a positive event.
Bryant scored 36 points, but to no avail.
The game went into garbage time seven minutes early, and Howard was as tired as a dog today, but he only had 12 points and nine rebounds, and he was completely hard eaten by the Warriors' attrition strategy.
"Shaq can score 50 points in a game like this." Kobe Bryant only said this one sentence in an interview, and he couldn't help it.
Some people say that the contradictions of the Lakers have erupted, and the contradictions between Kobe Bryant and Howard have become completely irreconcilable.
"I don't know who can score 50 points against a Golden State Warrior like that." "The league's most offensive shooting guard can't do it anyway," Howard said. ”
"What they're trying to convey is a meaning." It was Paul who stepped up and slumped out, saying: "With Oakland's all-time best forward defense, no single forward can score 50 points against them. I mean any, I think, including Michael Jordan. ”
"So, Bryant said Shaq could." Paul said: "I think so, nobody can do it except as a super centre-forward. It's not a question of ability, it's a question of position and height. ”
The Zen master turned the press conference into a tactical analysis session, and he said he would find a way to solve the problem of defending the Warriors' positioning. When leaving, the Zen master sighed in his heart: "The people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!" ”
Barnes decided to treat his teammates to dinner after the game, and he wanted to thank his teammates. It's another great opportunity to build relationships and maintain the atmosphere.
The Warriors had an easy schedule for the rest of the game, with another back-to-back home game, and they only had two games over the next six days.
One against the Kings, the other against the Trail Blazers. These will be their last two games in March.
"Let's go fishing tomorrow!" Curry suggested.
Before Chen Mo could refuse, Jackson had already slapped Curry's head with a palm.
"It's unlucky, you know?" "Until the end of the season, fishing is banned, it's conventional," Jackson said. ”
Curry shrank his head as he thought about what fishing meant. Then he changed his tune: "Then let's take an afternoon to play golf?" I feel like we should relax. ”
"That's fine." Chen Mo nodded in agreement.
Spring is the time to add some outdoor activities.
None of them drank alcohol in the evening, and the supper ended quickly.
"I'm feeling great right now." Barnes said to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo smiled: "It's the same here as the campus, the only difference is that you have a salary here." ”
"But a lot of things go bad when they come into money." Barnes said, "My dad said that. ”
"But basketball is different, and most of the people who can enter the NBA to play love basketball." Chen Mo said with a smile: "And a person who loves basketball is generally not too bad. ”
"You have to know that a person with a dark mentality can't stand out in a five-person team sport." Chen Mo said.
