Chapter 261: Strange Center

Everyone really dragged the game back to Los Angeles, but everyone knew they were about to face a tough battle like never before.

The Warriors won't take it as lightly as they did before. The Lakers will be facing the Warriors in full form. I have to admit that it would be a very scary team.

They are not going to repeat last year's tragedy and give the Lakers the possibility of a Black Eight miracle.

The sixth game began. Tonight's fan base is the most of any Lakers fan base in the entire season.

For tonight's game, the Lakers are also very well prepared. Not only prepared a variety of activities for everyone's entertainment, but also prepared special T-shirts, so that the whole stadium became a purple and gold wave. Because the Lakers' yellow jersey will be somewhat similar to the Warriors just by looking at the color. So this one piece of clothing is specially made. He used a lot of yellow to make the colors look more vibrant, and at the same time added purple to make the jersey look more maverick and clearly recognizable.

And the special offer is that if the Lakers' score breaks 100 points tonight, every spectator present can get a small gift. And if the Lakers win this game, Game 7 will have a big screen at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. This kind of treatment can only be found in the finals. The Lakers made an exception to get it to the first round, which is enough to see how seriously the Lakers attach this game.

The way these youngsters and the Warriors are playing is enough to make people proud. Especially in four games, they allowed Curry to three-point zero. This is simply an incredible record. Because Curry has scored three points per game for three years in a row. For Curry, who is shooting more than 40 percent from three-point range, compared to some players. His three points are even more accurate than others' two.

Zhao Wei: They also felt the great changes in the team and even the whole city. Many people may not know them when they met before, but now they are the focus of attention wherever they go. People adore them and encourage them.

The moment everyone entered the stadium, they were startled by the shouts of the mountain and the tsunami. This is the first time I have heard such a loud shout. Probably the loudest sound they've heard before was the tsunami boo they heard on the Warriors' home court last time. Now in comparison, the gap is too big. Before the game started, everyone was already feeling enthusiastic and couldn't wait to go on the field and struggle.

The Warriors team is not far away, and Zhao Wei can feel a completely different momentum from them before.

Similarly, on the Lakers' side, Luke Wharton also had a solemn face.

"I know you've played really well in the previous games. It wasn't easy for us to get to this point. I'm so proud of what you've achieved. However, we won't rest on our laurels. We look forward to going further. But we also have to realize that our opponent today is still the same team, but it can also be said that it is no longer that team. If you are playing against the Warriors with all their strength today, then you are only playing the Warriors with half the strength before. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Porzingis laughed.

Luke Wharton looked at him solemnly, nodded, and said lightly: "No matter what happens on the field, remember to be yourself." ”

At the start of the game, the starting lineups of both sides remained unchanged.

On the Lakers' side, LaVine, Zhao Wei, Ingram, Randle, and Porzingis.

On the Warriors' side, Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Pachulia are still on the Warriors' side.

From the moment he jumped the ball, Zhao Wei felt the tension of the game. Because the guy who jumped the ball on the Warriors' side was replaced by Durant. Although Porzingis still got the ball, the Warriors have shown their attitude.

As soon as Zhao Wei received the ball, Durant's defense immediately pressed up.

"Boy, don't try to score in front of me." Durant said coldly.

Zhao Wei was just about to speak, and his body suddenly froze. Durant's eyes changed. The wolf-like green light stared at Zhao Wei a little numb.

In this moment. Zhao Wei suddenly felt empty in his hands. It's not good to be surprised.

Durant slapped the ball accurately when Zhao Wei was stunned. Durant got the ball and didn't go to Curry or Green first as usual.

He directly took the ball himself and launched a fast attack. The two long legs swung up, and Zhao Wei couldn't catch up for a while. The one-arm dunk got the Warriors off to a flying start.

It wasn't just Zhao Wei who was encountered. The defense of the entire Warriors team has been raised to a very terrifying level. The Lakers players have a very hard time dribbling.

LaVine, Porzingis and others have been blocked one after another, and the most worrying is Ingram. The Warriors stepped up their physical confrontations, and Ingram's worst was physical confrontations. Ingram was defended by the opposing side like a boat in a storm in the sea.

Ingram broke through once, faced with Thompson and Pachuria's blocks, and with a body hit, Ingram flew straight out and fell to the ground.

The Warriors' offensive touch is actually not too good, it can only be said to be average, but the Lakers' offense is completely defended by the opponent.

A full half of the time passed. The Lakers scored a measly five. And the Warriors have scored 15 points. These five points were still scored by Zhao Wei desperately.

Luke Wharton asked for a timeout.

"Take my word for it, right?" Luke Wharton said.

"Coach, what are we going to do?" Porzingis asked feebly.

"Be yourself. You are no worse than anyone else. You're younger than them and you're able to fight where you're now, you've won. So, you have nothing to lose. Let go and fight. At this time, an arm hooked Zhao Wei's shoulder.

"Kobe." As soon as Zhao Wei turned around, he happened to see Kobe Bryant with a stubble beard.

"Why are you so surprised? Rest assured, I have no requirements for you in this game. Just follow your heart and fight it. Don't rebound. ”

At the beginning of the game, Zhao Wei was very distrustful of Kobe's tactics. But now they have no choice but to gamble. Rebounding is their pulse. Green and Pachuria's lack of height gives the Lakers a rebounding advantage on the inside. The reason why he was able to grab two games before was also because of the advantage of rebounds. All five of the Lakers were able to grab rebounds. Ravan is short, but his bounce is good. It's very tough to rush for rebounds.

At the beginning, Zhao Wei did not control the ball. The Lakers' ball-handling guy was replaced by LaVine. And Zhao Wei did not fall outside the three-point line and so on.

Just when people were wondering what Zhao Wei was going to do. Zhao Wei actually went to the inside line. And it was only at this time that people found out that the Lakers had already made a substitution. They swapped Randall out. Replaced by Nick Young.

Zhao Wei went to the inside line, and the person who was in place with him became Pachuria.

Countless media shocked that Zhao Wei would be the biggest substitution in the history of the league. He played point guard before the substitution. And after the substitution, he played as a center forward.

In basketball, center and point guard are the two most different positions.

"No, no, he's not the biggest transposition. There have been examples of this before, and that is Johnson. Now the president of the Lakers. When Magic Johnson was a rookie, the Lakers were injured in the Finals. Johnson was called upon to play as the starting centre-forward. In that game, he blew up the opponent's center. More than 40 points. And it has more than a dozen rebounds in efficient statistics. ”

Now the president of the Lakers is Johnson, and Zhao Wei is regarded as the Lakers player who is most similar to Johnson. Now Zhao Wei is the center of the team in his rookie season. People can't help but start to think.

"Magician, you can't do this?" Bryant asked suspiciously.

"Let's see." Magic Johnson smiled nonchalantly.

"Damn, see. You don't know everything. Losing this game is not just about going home. Losing in such a way is a fatal blow to Zhao Wei. "Kobe Bryant was in a hurry.

"What's the hurry? What's the hurry. If you're not in a hurry, you might be able to win two more championships. Now it can only be tied with me. Magic Johnson taught. If you want to say that the entire Lakers can teach Kobe Bryant a lesson, I'm afraid only Magic Johnson dares.

In his 13-year NBA career, he won five championships and three Finals MVPs. The glorious glory doomed Magic Johnson to be the representative of the Lakers.

Some people may say that the first person on the Lakers team is Kobe Bryant. In fact, the representative is not the same as the first person. It's like the best guy on the team isn't the captain.

Kobe Bryant is better suited for the killer, while Magic Johnson is better suited for the leader. They have now discovered a combination of a killer and a leader. So they cherish it.

Pachuria's height is not high, and standing with Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei does not seem to suffer too much. But after the real confrontation, Zhao Wei found that he was not strong enough.

The Warriors spotted that too, and their Pachulia finally became the dominant point at this point. So they finally passed to the inside. Let Pachulia single Zhao Wei.

Pachulia plays a defender, which is simply the biggest misalignment. Pachulia was also confident, and after two consecutive strokes, he found that Zhao Wei couldn't bear him at all. Pachulia gathered his strength, intending to completely destroy Zhao Wei next time, and then slammed his hands on the top of his head.

"Welcome to the NBA."

However, Pachuria's strength was exerted, but he felt empty behind him. It was impossible for Pachulia to regain his strength.

Bang! Pachulia sat on the ground. Zhao Wei took advantage of Pachuria's strength to suddenly withdraw.

Zhao Wei picked up the ball that Pachulia fell to the ground and quickly launched a fast attack.

Randle's departure, Nick Young's arrival. Let the Lakers' fast-break speed go even further. Four-line fast attack.

Nick Young and LaVine occupy both sides. And in the middle are Porzingis and Ingram. It seems that Porzingis's height of 2.20 meters is a super big man. The Lakers are a big and four small lineup. But Porzingis is fast. He wasn't in the least satisfied with the speed of the big forward.

Let the Lakers play five small speeds.

There are too many options for the fourth-line fast attack Zhao Wei. Of course, giving Porzingis at the front is the safest way to score. Porzingis' catch was a slam dunk after all.

But Zhao Wei looked at Porzingis, and after his hand was passed, the ball hit the ground with a long pass. The ball has a very strong outside spin.

The moment he hit the ground, he sped up and dodged Green's steal. Quickly ran towards Nick Young.

Nick Young receives the ball in the bottom left corner and comes with a three-point raise. This is Nick Young, even if there is no one in front of me. I went in and it was a layup with no one. But the ball comes over and it's a three, so I'll shoot a three.

The ball went into the basket with pinpoint accuracy. And this is only the beginning of a counterattack. Cole and the Warriors are known for their death five. But Cole was a bit of a sticker. He's going to use the Death Five Little at that time. He only used it at that time. Luke Wharton, who has been an assistant coach for two years, knows this very well. So Luke Wharton took a bet under the guidance of Johnson and Kobe. In the first quarter, he was just halfway through the quarter, and he replaced himself with the death five. Even more surprising was the fact that he placed his point guard in the center position.

On the offensive end, the Lakers pulled very open. Completely gave up their advantage on the inside. No one grabbed the rebound, and all five were outside the three-point line. Pachulia didn't come out, and it wasn't when he didn't come out. If you don't come out, you can shoot three points if you don't have any free spots on the outside. Pounce out, and the one who faces Pachulia will resolutely break through. Because none of these five pachulias could keep up.

The Lakers finished shooting on the offensive end, and all four of them ran back. Only Zhao Wei went to grab rebounds with the Warriors alone. Zhao Wei grabbed it when he could, and gave up the frontcourt rebound if he couldn't.

All four men defended themselves, making it difficult for the Warriors to play their favorite counter-attacking offense.

It wasn't until near the end of the first quarter, with less than three minutes left, that Kerr reacted. And during this period, defensive constraints allowed the Warriors to completely lose their lead. The Lakers and Warriors are back on the same page.

The battle between Zhao Wei and Pachulia on the inside became the biggest highlight of the section. In the eyes of many people, the reason why the Lakers arranged to speed up the speed was to completely abandon the interior line. But after playing for so long, they were surprised to find that the Lakers' interior line did not fall into the imagination at all.

Zhao Wei did not fall into disadvantage at all when he was competing for rebounds with Pachuria. On the offensive end, Zhao Wei's speed and reaction speed are completely incomparable to Pachuria. People were surprised to find that Zhao Wei was an all-rounder. He's very solid on the rim, not at all like what an outside player should have.

Zhao Wei catches the ball and hits Pachulia with his back.

Suddenly, Pachulia turned around, and Pachulia was left behind. Pachulia desperately caught up, but Zhao Wei made a shooting feint, and Pachulia flew. Zhao Wei turned around and came back, and the small hook hit the shot steadily. (To be continued.) )!
