Chapter 129: It's Not Fair!
It's hard to get what Scott is asking for, but after all, he's the manager, and as a player under him, you can't resist in the slightest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At least until you're not a superstar, it's best not to resist, or the consequences will be unpredictable. When you meet an enlightened manager, he may not take your rebellion seriously. But if you come across someone with a small belly, then you will be guilty.
Whether they can do it or not, the Lakers players are all promised. Anyway, if you can't do it, you won't be deducted from your salary, what are you afraid of?
The so-called wine today is drunk today, and tomorrow is sad and tomorrow is worried.
It's still the Lakers' offensive round, and the Lakers don't care how to limit the opponent on the defensive end when they turn around later. Their first task is to attack first!
It is Clarkson who is currently holding the ball.
As far as the current Warriors lineup is concerned, although Curry is a sword-like presence on the offensive end, he is the weakest link on the defensive end. Naturally, this became a breakthrough for the Lakers.
However, it is a pity that although Clarkson was placed in the No. 1 position by Scott, he is not a pure playmaker. Passing vision and playmaking skills are not up to the standard of the starting number one. Let him be the starting point of the attack, obviously difficult for him.
Being able to be named to the All-Rookie Team in his rookie season for a while, Clarkson still has the ability. With the ball and breaking through, Curry couldn't defend him.
In fact, the breakthrough ability of many outside players in the NBA is high to a certain level, and the gap between them is not as big as people think. And the difference between those role players and star players is how to handle the ball after breaking through defenders and getting inside.
The role player can break through smoothly, but after the breakthrough, he doesn't have enough vision to find the position of his teammates, so he can only fight to the end and go straight to the basket. But he doesn't have excellent finishing skills, and he is easy to be defended by the opponent's interior players.
And star players are different. After they break through, they not only have the vision to spot the movement of their teammates, but also have the passing skills to pass the ball to their teammates. And even if they don't pass the ball, their layup finishing ability is trustworthy, and they can generally hit the basket with more than 50% certainty.
Clarkson is currently only a sophomore, and with his talent and potential, he is still quite a short distance away from a star player at this stage.
So, after breaking through Curry, he didn't see his teammates in his narrow field of vision. If he had changed to another team, he wouldn't have been like that. But the Warriors are different, not to mention sharp on offense, but also strong on the defensive end. The only Warriors who can match this is probably the San Antonio Spurs.
Whether offensively or defensively, the Spurs are chillingly calm. So far, they have only lost one game. The win rate is so high, but it doesn't attract much attention. In addition to the insulating nature between them and the media, it is because the Warriors have stolen the limelight.
At present, these two teams, one has not tasted defeat and the other has only lost one game, occupying the first and second places in the Western Division respectively, and their position is as stable as Mount Tai. The Thunder, Lakers, Clippers and other teams behind are a little difficult to match.
The reason why they are so good and look like they are a notch above other teams is because of their dominance on both ends of the floor.
Just like the Lakers' offense, Clarkson broke through the weakest point of the Warriors' lineup, but the help and supplemental defense of others soon came over.
And Clarkson didn't have too good passing vision to get the ball out. In a hurry, I was forced to walk as an example!
Neither Clarkson himself nor Lakers head coach Scott paid much attention to this mistake. They may think that mistakes in the attack are inevitable.
However, the Lakers are weak in offense and defense, and have played 13 games so far, averaging 105.8 points per game, ranking fifth in the league. And the average points conceded per game is also very high, with 104.5 points!
Basically, they play against their opponents in every game, and then rely on their superior attack power to defeat their opponents.
In fact, looking at the data of their 13 games, when they win, they generally win by a big score; When you lose, you usually lose the game by a big score. This is a very typical manifestation of not having a sufficiently stable and strong defense.
Now that the Lakers are facing the Warriors of a team with stronger offensive firepower, with their defense, there is definitely not much way to limit the opponent's scoring, and if they want to fight for some chances to win, they can only rely on the full play of the offense, or even extraordinary play!
However, now that the Warriors are in perfect offensive form, the Lakers are starting to make mistakes. There is no doubt that the Lakers are sliding into the abyss of defeat......
If they don't realise this early and change it, they will definitely lose in the end.
Sure enough, after making a mistake on the offensive end, the Lakers turned back to defend, but it was also a failure.
During the timeout just now, Scott focused on defensive issues. Therefore, after the timeout, the Lakers had to defend for the first time, and the Lakers naturally came up with 12 points.
The Warriors are still playing the same old offensive game -- Curry and Draymond Green block and pick-and-roll.
In the face of the Warriors' blocking, the Lakers did not wrap up Curry, who was holding the ball, but actively switched defenses.
Curry's confidence may have risen because he hit both of his previous two three-pointers. Facing Randle's defense, he opted to step back and shoot a three-point jumper from beyond the three-point line after a couple of cross-step swings.
Although Randall was shaken a little unstable, because of his very positive mentality, he actually pounced in time!
Randle's defense made a difference. Curry's three-pointer missed.
The sound of "bang" and the sound of the basketball smashing on the basket made the Lakers rejoice. Finally put the Warriors' offense down!
It can be said that the Lakers' defense has been 90% successful here. The last 10 percent is to control the backcourt rebounds well.
However, the so-called 100 miles are half 90, and the last 10 percent is the most important. The Lakers' defensive rebound was not well protected, was snatched away by Andrew Bogut, and directly made a basket!
Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!
The Lakers' defense this time only reduced the Warriors' shooting percentage, but in the end, the Warriors still scored.
This is very damaging to the morale of the Lakers. Even Scott began to growl-
"Protect the backcourt rebound!!"
Of course, the object of his roar was "Gao Yuanyuan" Hibbert. It is precisely because he did not get stuck in the position and did not stand up to people when he was protecting defensive rebounds, that Bogut had a chance.
No matter how angry Byron Scott is at the loss of this backcourt rebound. After Bogut made a basket, the on-court ratio has been completely rewritten to 7:13, and no matter how much he roars, it will not help.
The Lakers attacked, and with a 6-point deficit, they unconsciously had some pressure on the offense.
Clarkson hesitated a bit, and he didn't go to the frizzy breakthrough Curry again.
It's not because he suffered a loss after breaking through Curry last time. It's because Scott just yelled at Hibbert, and Clarkson knows that the head coach is angry.
And when the team is behind by a lot of points, and the head coach has a fire in his heart, Clarkson naturally does not dare to touch this mold. He threw the ball to Yi Feng like a pot.
Yi Feng Neng became the target of Clarkson's "dumping" because he was very close to Clarkson.
He looked at Curry, who was defending Clarkson, and Thompson, who was defending him, and had an idea in his heart.
"Jordan!"
Yi Feng stopped Clarkson. After passing the ball, Clarkson wanted to open up space for Yi Feng to single, and he was about to take Curry away.
Clarkson turned around and saw that it was Yi Feng calling him, and that he had made a specific gesture in his hand-
Clarkson understood that Yi Feng was asking him to help cover up.
After Clarkson's cover, a situation was formed where Yi Feng misplaced Curry.
Curry's defensive ability is much worse than Thompson's, and facing Curry's defense is naturally much easier than facing Thompson's defense.
The reason why Yi Feng wanted Clarkson's cover was precisely because of such attention.
One step inside the three-point line, Yi Feng vs Curry.
The top two super scorers on the scoring list have finally met at this moment!
Both of them are also thin types, and Yi Feng looks thinner than Curry because of his taller height, and he is very weak.
The duo who competed for supremacy on the scoring list is such a guy who falls apart as soon as he hits, which makes many muscle-sticks in the league unconvinced.
Curry is better at three-point shooting, hitting more than five three-pointers per game. Although his shooting rate from the basket is as high as 60 percent, because he doesn't shoot much under the basket, people are more impressed with his unreasonable three-point from beyond the three-point line.
For Yifeng, people's impression is not fixed. Yi Feng has a lot of scoring methods, and he is all-round in offense and defense.
The three-point shooting is accurate, although it is not as shocking as the "Splash Brothers", but the three-point shooting rate of 45.3% is really impossible to ignore.
The breakthrough is also quite inexplicable. Thanks to his explosiveness, Yi Feng has a super fast first step, and most defenders in the league will be passed by one step. And he is not the kind of stunned young man who only relies on physical fitness to eat, his breakthrough skills are becoming more and more mature, and he is becoming more and more handy with feints.
After the breakthrough, the mid-range shot, or the layup under the basket, Yi Feng can make the defender helpless.
The mid-range pull-up jump shot, or the backward jump shot, has a very impressive shooting rate, which can basically reach more than 50%. And his finishing ability in terms of layups is surprisingly strong, with a shooting rate of nearly 60% under the basket, which is even comparable to Curry!
You know, Yi Feng has more times under the basket than Curry. This also means that Yi Feng's basket shooting rate is higher!
However, even if the two can distinguish between the two, the so-called gap is calculated in millimeters. The offensive skills of the two have almost reached the limit of human beings. Curry, through hard work, may be able to maintain this state for a few years; Yi Feng, on the other hand, has the possibility to go one step further and polish his offensive skills better!
This means that he can transcend the limits of humanity!
Of course, human limits are not so easy to surpass.
The most typical is the extreme sport of 100-meter running, which can best measure the limits of human beings in an era.
Before no athlete can run 10 seconds, many experts believe that this is the limit of human beings; However, the next 9.9 seconds, 9 seconds 8, 9 seconds 7, 9 seconds 6, and even to Bolt's 9.58 seconds! The so-called limits of humanity have been broken again and again by the strong!
And these powerhouses, before they grew into the strongest in the field, were all geniuses who were once praised.
Yi Feng may have some hope and moved closer to them. Because he is still very young, less than 20 years old, he has already reached such heights, who can imagine what he will be like in the future? Who would dare to say what he would achieve in the future?
However, no matter what will become of the two after tomorrow, at least the peak duel between them at this moment has attracted too much attention.
Not to mention that the fans in the Oracle Arena have been holding their breath and watching the duel between the two intently, not to mention how many fans in front of the TV and computer dare not blink their eyes, for fear of missing the wonderful shots-
Let's just say that the commentary trio on the sidelines commentary seat are also excited.
Especially Maddie, the whole person was so excited.
"Yi and Stephen are up against each other!"
"It's a duel between two of the sharpest spears! Who will pierce whom? ”
Chris Webber is not far behind, "Although Stephen is on the scoring list, he is a little far from the first place Yi. But I don't think that's a reflection of the real strength of the two. How big the gap is between them, just look at the alignment of the two, you can see! ”
Mark Jackson is the calmest one, "Here, I have to remind you that although it looks like the Chinese kid is even thinner than Stephen, his defensive ability is not visible by his size. ”
"Just like Andrei Kirilenko, who just announced his retirement in the summer, such a thin body, but with so much defensive energy! Two NBA All-Defensive First Team, one-time NBA All-Defensive First Team, and one-time block king! This Russian known as 'AK47' has brought people what a huge shock! ”
"Maybe the Chinese kid is not as good as Andrei Kirilenko now, and maybe not as good as in the future. But in terms of his current defensive ability, he is already much better than Stephen. Instead of a duel with the sharpest spear, you'll see a duel like this: Stephen is holding a spear, and the Chinese kid is holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand! ”
Chris Webb immediately shouted, "Oh! No! It's not fair at all! How can this be? Stephen without a shield is obviously going to be stabbed in the heart, isn't he? ”
Mark Jackson shook his head, "Silly boy, there's no fairness in this world. (To be continued.) )
