Barkley commented: "The Warriors reverted to the pure small-ball tactics of the past after the trade, running and shooting in 7 seconds like the Suns, grabbing rebounds and going down quickly, and would rather play alone than let the Lakers stand in position." However, as long as Bynum and Gasol are not on the court together, the speed of the Lakers will not be slow, and the Warriors are very inefficient in playing like this, and the first pass must be grasped well. Jackson had been off for nearly two months, and he was too reluctant to take on organizational tasks as soon as he came up, he didn't score a point, and now he has two mistakes. ”

"Wharton has been in a lot of form since signing a big contract, but he doesn't suffer from height on the defensive end," Smith said. Jackson pulling in front of Wharton was not a good choice. ”

"I think the Warriors can play a little bit more at small forward, and that's where the Lakers' weakness is other than point guard," Barkley said. They traded with the Bobcats to send Radmanovic away, but didn't get anyone back who could help the team. When he was in the NCAA, many people said that Morrison was the big bird Bird Bird II, and now it seems that he is too far from Bird. The Lakers also rarely let him play. Chinese player Sun Yue also only showed his face in garbage time, and they took up two spots. ”

At this time, Nelson Sr. regretted a little that he had Jackson on the bench, and it was better to play the starting line instead of Margeti, who could find a feeling in the first quarter, and now if he was replaced soon, it would hurt the captain's self-esteem.

"Stephen, you stay on the court and go on, unless it's open, don't shoot from the perimeter, get covered and cut to the basket, shoot close to the basket. Zach and Zhou played, you played in the high post to block and cooperate, and Sean (Marion) pulled to the perimeter, evacuated the inside, and made room. Anthony (Moreau) went on and looked for a three-point opportunity in the bottom corner. ”

Replacing Ellis with Morrow is to add a three-point firepower point, and if they can't open a three-point today, they are likely to lose. The outside shot was opened, and the Lakers did not dare to compress the defense.

"You have to be quick to defend and keep up, their fast attack is too easy, don't let the opponent easily catch the ball and break through." Jackson made a few strokes on the tactical board and said that he would switch positions in defensive positional warfare. The Lakers rely on their stars on offense, and if others defend well, they can win.

After the timeout, the Lakers also replaced Kobe Bryant, Ariza, and Famar on the outside. This is their strongest defensive lineup. Zhou Xuan thinks that Famal is a weakness, he is 185CM tall, weighs 78 kg, is shorter and thinner than Zhou Xuan, and his explosive power is also average. It's no wonder the Lakers have been using Fisher as a starter.

Zhou Xuan took the ball to the frontcourt, and Randolph immediately pulled it out to block and block Famar firmly. Zhou Xuan broke through on the left side, Gasol switched defenses in front of him, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Randolph, and Odom switched positions in front of him, at this time Marion was already empty. But Randolph's passing awareness was not good enough, and he didn't turn his head to look in the direction of Marion on the side, and chose to single Odom, dribbling to the inside, and retreating to shoot wide.

Gasol grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Lakers attacked.

Ellis suddenly turned the man who defended Kobe Bryant on the perimeter to Jackson. Kobe Bryant thought that Jackson had just returned and was not in good shape, so he chose to play singles. Suddenly started outside the three-point line, a change of direction passed Jackson, a pull-up jumper, Jackson did not cover the side, and the ball went in. 36 to 44.

Lakers fans are starting to cheer for the home team, and despite the opponent's roster upgrade, the Lakers still have the upper hand and their run-in is better. The Lakers reached the Finals last season, and this time their goal is to win the championship, how can they fall at the feet of the Warriors?

The old Nelson on the sidelines was confident, he believed that the Warriors could win and the Lakers had weaknesses. As long as the offense is turned on, the Warriors will be a few rounds short of catching up.

Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Marion, who missed the jump shot, and in the full six minutes, the Warriors only scored 4 points, and the hand felt cold.

Lakers offense, Jordan? After Famar passed the ball, he said provocatively to Zhou Xuan: "Don't think about scoring easily, I will definitely defend you." ”

Farmar isn't a trash-talker, the provocation is to cheer himself up, he's younger than Fisher and moves a little faster, and Jackson should let him play a little longer.

Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Come on, strive to stay after a ten-day short contract." ”

One sentence disgusted Famar, Famal is indeed famous, but Zhou Xuan doesn't know him, right? Of course, Zhou Xuan was very familiar with Famar, and he just wanted to make his opponent lose his cool.

Born in a wealthy family in California, Farmar was a national super point guard in high school, was selected for the McDonald's National Championship, led UCLA to the NCAA Finals in his sophomore year, and entered the NBA at the age of 19. When he came to the Lakers, he could only be Fisher's backup. From glamorous to marginal, not being taken seriously, Famar's psychological gap is very large. Zhou Xuan's words made him really want not to pass it to Kobe Bryant and score in front of Zhou Xuan to prove himself. But then you will fall into a trap.

Bryant received the ball and hung it to Gasol, and Randolph defended it. When Bynum is off, Marion will feel much less pressure, and he doesn't have to follow Gasol anymore, and Odom will at least not be eaten by the low post.

Gasol dribbled to the middle, stepped back and distanced himself from Randolph before making a jumper. 36 to 46.

The Lakers are really addicted. It all feels so bad, isn't this forcing me to fight myself? Zhou Xuan dribbled over half the court and thought. He can't always rely on his teammates, now the team needs someone to step up and score, Morrow can't attack with the ball, Jackson doesn't find his touch, Marion is not efficient, and it doesn't work against the Lakers' two interior low-post back-to-back plays, and he is averaging only 12 points per game with the Heat this season. The only people who could attack were him and Randolph. He had to stand up!

Eighty percent of the guards who changed defenses after covering were Gasol, and Zhou Xuan thought of two possibilities, one was that he singled Gasol, and Famar would definitely be blocked. The second is to pass Randolph, and the people on the side will definitely have to make up for it when the time comes. On the right, Odom and Marion are difficult to defend. If it was Ariza, Randolph should be better to fight. Ariza is good at defending breakaways and is a good outside blue-collar worker, but he is very thin and it will definitely be difficult to defend against Randolph.

Zhou Xuan beckoned, and Randolph came out to block the demolition. He didn't make a feint and accelerated directly to break through to the left.

Gasol retreated along the three-second line, preventing a breakthrough but not a shot. Zhou Xuan immediately pulled the outside line, which happened to be an open space of 45 degrees, and it was not far from Morrow at the bottom corner, Marion at a 60-degree angle, and Randolph. Both Bryant and Ariza can step forward to defend him, but they both have to let go of their defenders.

As soon as Randolph cut inside, Gasol didn't dare to stand too far outside, Zhou Xuan's mid-range shot could shoot in all positions, and the 45 degrees on both sides were very accurate, as long as it was an empty position, the shooting rate was more than 80%. He didn't expect Gasol to save, and Randolph took a shot as soon as he got to the basket.

Ariza let go of Marion to block from the side, Zhou Xuan calculated the distance and ignored him, and when Ariza jumped up, the ball had already been shot and hollowed into the net. 38 to 46.

Barkley laughed: "The Warriors offense has finally opened up. I have to say that the current Zhou Xuan is more like a leader than Jackson and Randolph, he is the core of the Warriors, controlling the rhythm of the whole team, and he can shoot and score himself. ”

"If you want to win, it's more important to defend the Lakers' offense," Smith said. ”

Barkley nodded: "It's true that now the Warriors can't let Jackson defend, he hasn't played for a while, his movements look a little stiff, the defense is not as tight as it used to be, and adjustments must be made on the court." ”

At this time, Zhou Xuan shouted at Jackson. "Stephen, Kobe Bryant leave it to me, you defend Ariza, I won't let him break through."

Good boy, I taught me all the defensive methods, and now I am bold enough to take the initiative to call Kobe. Jackson didn't say anything and went straight to Ariza. During training, he saw Zhou Xuan's ability to break through, and he got better and better. Kobe Bryant's shooting hand today is average, more about breaking through the ball and making fouls, so it is indeed suitable for him to defend.

The defense of Famar was handed over to Moreau. Still mixed defense, Zhou Xuan followed Kobe, and Farmar passed the ball over.

"I'm sorry for stealing your star game MVP, but you really can't pass me." Zhou Xuan said beside Kobe.

This provocation is the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Kobe Bryant already felt that his MVP was robbed, even though he took more than 5 times as many shots in the All-Star Game as Zhou Xuan. He likes to perform and wants to be a star among stars, Zhou Xuan said what he hates to hear the most at the moment.

What Zhou Xuan really calculated was not provocation, but transposition. Everyone saw that he was going to change Kobe Bryant, and if he met Zhou Xuan, Kobe would pass the ball or rely on the block, as if he was afraid of him. If you don't pass, the defensive pressure under the basket will be much less. The Warriors' interior defense is more flawed.

Zhou Xuan's words successfully aroused Kobe's competitive spirit. He chose to attack with the ball, Zuo Huang failed to pass Zhou Xuan again, and after the most Lu made a quick stop jump shot on the periphery, he bounced out of the frame. Randolph grabs the rebound.

Kobe Bryant's bad hand has been around since the last game, and he was depressed.

The warriors fell into positional warfare, and at this time, Zhou Xuan thought that chaotic battles should be eliminated, mistakes should be reduced, and the success rate of the battle should be reduced. He dribbled the ball through the half, and the main defender was still Famar. Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled with Randolph again, taking the side of Ariza on the right side.

The same style of play, this time Ariza let go of Marion to defend Zhou Xuan and let Famar interfere with Marion.

Zhou Xuan did not pass, but led to the middle, further attracting Ariza's defense, and Gasol and Randolph went to the left. Running position, pulling out the space, these two moves made Ariza and Marion completely out of place.

Famar was thinking about whether to wrap up Zhou Xuan beside him or switch to Marion. The "hacker" suddenly cut into the air and ran to a low position. Zhou Xuan hit the ground and passed the ball to him.

Ariza had to turn around if he wanted to defend against Marion, and after a half-beat slowdown, Marion accelerated from behind him to the basket and hit a throw before Gasol came back to make up for it. 40 to 46.

Marion opens up, heralding the start of the Warriors' counterattack.
