Po Povic was watching the game live, and he watched every Southern California derby. And he didn't watch the live broadcast of the game with an entertainment mentality, he watched it with a state of work.

Turn off the volume on the TV and watch the game entirely through your own understanding.

When he saw Barnes start, and the game started with Barnes and Kobe Bryant, he wasn't in a good mood.

The Warriors' forward pack is terrible enough, and with one Barnes, the consequences are unimaginable.

Leonard's growth this year, as he shares the pressure on Duncan on the defensive end, is key to Po Povich's belief that his team is good enough to play against the Warriors. However, if the Warriors forward line can calmly put out a strong defensive chain, this is very bad news for the Spurs.

It's hard enough, and it's even harder with another Barnes.

"The strongest forward defensive group in history. Popovich has long had such a definition in mind.

After removing the strong firepower output of Chen Mo and Curry, this forward defensive group is enough to cause a headache. What's more, they have a perfect backcourt combination.

Po Povich exploded into a swear word, which was an unacceptable result for them.

At the same time, Bryant showed extremely powerful attacking ability. Bryant completed his education with Barnes in constant one-on-one sessions.

"Hey, man, the Black Mamba isn't an experience pack. Bryant said to Barnes.

Barnes scored four points tonight and he made two mid-range shots in front of Kobe. But Bryant scored 12 points and his strangulation of Barnes was a success. However, compared to the last time he was pressed to the ground and rubbed, this time Barnes at least had a little ability to resist.

"I don't think you should be rambling with a rookie for a long time. "Howard is a little upset because they're falling behind!

Howard didn't squirt out a little more nasty words, and he held back.

Kobe Bryant also held back, and for the sake of team harmony, he swallowed all the saliva into his stomach.

Paul gave Howard an assist, and the Warriors' strategy of not wrapping and switching defenses tonight has greatly hindered the Lakers' tactical operation. They don't have a strong three-point shooter, and they can't give their opponents a precise shot from beyond the three-point line. That's why Kobe Bryant will choose so many singles at the beginning.

Bryant wanted to educate Barnes, and the Warriors' tactics prompted him to do so. After all, Bryant's single to Barnes is the Lakers' biggest one-on-one matchup.

The Warriors' lead had nothing to do with Bryant's several single-handedness to Barnes, Chen Mo and Curry threw in three three-pointers at the beginning, and the others also had good mid-range shots. So, it's very normal for the Warriors to take an 18-14 lead.

It's just that Howard wasn't too happy with not having a single ball on the offensive end after the start of the game.

This time Howard singled Biedlings, which was not particularly easy, and at the end his hook shot had a few struggling bumps in the basket.

Howard smiled, but Bryant's face didn't change in the slightest.

"If it was Shaq, that guy would have been bounced off like a leaf. "Hell knows why he's missing that lazy fat guy at this time.

But he is not the only one who has this kind of thought, and the Zen master also thinks this way. Howard's dominance isn't enough for the Lakers to complete the complete destruction of the Warriors' interior, and if they can destroy the Warriors' interior, their chances of winning against the Warriors in the playoffs are almost 50%.

"If you have a center like Shaq, maybe the Angelenos will be very active right now. Barkley had that idea too.

The Warriors made substitutions during the ad pause, bringing on Kirilenko and Thompson for Biedrins and Barnes.

"Your defense against Kobe Bryant was a success. Chen Mo said to Barnes encouragingly: "You see, now we are leading, and that guy's excessive ball possession has put the team in a difficult situation. ”

Barnes knew it wasn't like that, but he was always happy to hear the encouragement.

"The temptation has come to an end. Chen Mo shouted, "Next, it's time for us to put an end to their idea of winning with a high one." ”

In the first Southern California derby, the Warriors were choked by Howard, and they once seemed very passive. They've made adjustments since then, and now they're trying their best weapon against a tall center.

"The Golden State Warriors have almost removed all of their interior lines!" Barkley exclaimed.

"Are they going to drop their grip on Dwyan?" Smith said.

"I think that's where they started with Dwyan. Barkley disagrees with Smith.

As the game continued, the Warriors slowed down even more than they had started with.

Howard grinned, and he felt like his status on the team had risen again. Because height is an important weapon to restrain the Warriors, the stronger the Warriors, the more the team must rely on his height.

Just now he completed another secondary offense, and Kobe Bryant's rebound after hitting the iron with a jumper made Howard very comfortable.

After Chen Mo dribbled the ball past half court, he directly handed the ball to Kirilenko, and then Chen Mo, Curry, and Thompson began to run without the ball. Millsap matched their running path and began to cover.

When the Warriors continued to use positional cover and off-ball running to pull away the Lakers' defensive system, Chen Mo ran to the right side of the waist, and Millsap answered him.

Chen Mo's side was completely vacant, and Kirilenko's pass was given to Chen Mo. Chen Mo pulled it up and shot directly.

"Positional cover!" Barkley shouted: "The Aucklanders are very good at positional cover, but they rarely use positional cover specifically in a game. I've always thought that they were worried about the lack of quality of cover, and now it seems that other opponents are not worth it for them to come up with this more cumbersome positional attack. ”

Smith immediately answered: "But when facing the Los Angeles Lakers, such cumbersome positioning cover is quite useful. ”

"We prepared a big meal, we hope you will enjoy it. Chen Mo said to Howard.

Paul frowned, this was the time when he needed to step up and do something. After Kobe Bryant and Howard took turns attacking, it was time for him to show his grandeur.

The Warriors replaced Biedrins and didn't hesitate to pinch Howard on the defensive end, which gave Paul the opportunity to shoot straight after the pick-and-roll.

At the Lakers, Paul became the team's leader in three-point shooting. And Paul also read the Warriors' strategy of changing small lineups, and they are attritioning Howard in constant cover.

Paul responded with the three-pointer, telling the Warriors that they don't want to continue to wear down Howard on both ends of the floor.
