Chapter 132: Is It Really Suitable?
For Yi Feng, who wants to win tonight's game, the extraordinary performance of the substitute lineup is indeed a surprise. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The depth of the Warriors' roster is extremely amazing, like Andre Iguodala, the MVP of last season's Finals, who was actually not the Warriors' starter!
Any so-called super sixth man, in front of Iguodala, is really not "super".
And the Warriors are not without a chance to meet a player who won the best sixth man award, Leandro Barbossa, born in 1982, although he is now old, but the Brazilian Lightning, who was once active in the Phoenix Suns, came to the Warriors, but after coming to the Warriors, it seems to have a second spring, performing very well, and is the Warriors' super bench bandit.
And there is also the once famous genius high school student in the United States, Sean Livingston, who has a promising future but is ruined by injury. After experiencing one of the most horrific injuries in NBA history, he rediscovered himself with the Warriors.
The Warriors have such a depth of roster that is unique in the league.
Other strong teams in the league, when they played against the Warriors, may be able to hold on to the main lineup of the Warriors, but in the competition of the bench lineup, they were completely defeated by the Warriors. This led to the team's final loss.
It can be said that if the main lineup can't fill the hole dug by the substitute lineup, it will definitely lose in the end.
And if the Lakers want to get out of Oracle Arena tonight, the bench lineup must not be blown up too badly, otherwise it will be difficult for the Lakers to find a chance in the face of the Warriors' more powerful main lineup.
Fortunately, in the first half of the bench period, the Lakers' bench group performed well, and even excellent performance is not enough to describe their performance.
Seeing them perform like this, the Warriors' home fans were certainly not happy. The depression in their hearts can be seen through the expression on Chris Webb's face.
In stark contrast to Weber, it was Maddie who sat next to him. Maddie couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the play of the Lakers' bench group allowed him to see the dawn of the Lakers' victory. And the victory of the Lakers means that the debut of his commentary career ended perfectly!
However, the game is not over after all, and although Maddie has excitement on her face, it is not too obvious.
After the main players of both sides returned to the court, the Warriors attacked first.
The Lakers are down by three points at 45-48, and at this point the opponent still has the offensive possession, and if the defense fails this time, then they will face a five- or even six-point difference.
And for the Warriors, this offense is also an opportunity to pull the score apart and prove the team's dominance in the league once and for all.
Curry is also back on the court, and he's been a bit of a goofy during this time, but fortunately he didn't touch the ball much and didn't make any mistakes, otherwise it would have been a different story.
Steve Cole still puts him on the court in recognition of his ability to mentally adjust. No matter how great the psychological trauma, time is the best elixir, it can erase all wounds.
The blood cap in the first section of Yi Feng has been a long time now. Kerr thinks Curry should have adjusted. And even if he still hasn't adjusted, Curry's appearance on the court alive is a huge deterrent.
The Warriors' offense this time adopted the so-called "elevator" tactic.
First, after Bogut served out of bounds, he stood at either end of the free-throw line with Draymond Green.
Although Curry was not in great shape at the moment, he still smoothly handed the ball to Draymond Green, and then he went to the bottom corner to pretend to block for Klay Thompson.
Since it was a feint, Thompson naturally did not run over, but stopped in the three-second zone and waited for the opportunity.
At this time, Curry suddenly ran out of the three-point line to catch the ball.
Except for the beginning of the first quarter, Curry was in a brave state, and the rest of the time seemed to be sleepwalking on the court, and did not contribute. But out of fear of his three-point shot, not only Clarkson, who defended him, was extremely nervous, but even the attention of the rest of the Lakers players was almost focused on Curry, who received the ball outside the three-point line.
At this time, Thompson, who stopped in the three-second zone, waited for an opportunity to move, and went straight through the two big direct gaps of Draymond Green and Bogut from the three-second zone.
Yi Feng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly wanted to chase after him, and then Green and Bogut, the two big men on the inside, went to the middle together, as if the elevator door automatically closed, and turned Yi Feng away.
At this time, Curry, who was about to shoot outside the three-point line, turned the ball and turned it into the hands of Klay Thompson, who ran through the "elevator" door and ran out of the three-point line at the top of the arc.
Thompson picked up the ball and turned, and with no one around, he did enough aiming before jumping out of the box.
It's like he practices on weekdays, no one interferes, and the ball is naturally a steady hit.
At 45:51, the Warriors' lead extended to six points.
In fact, this so-called "elevator" tactic is a tactic that will only be used when the pitchers on these sides are extremely confident.
Because the two people used as the elevator door are both big insiders; And where they cover the pitcher, it's near the free-throw line. If the pitcher can't hit, then it's equivalent to giving up the fight for rebounds in the front court. Because both interior players were pulled out to the outside due to tactical needs.
And it just so happens that the Warriors have two super pitchers like the "Splash Brothers", and they will give you an "elevator" tactic from time to time, which is sour......
Lakers offense.
Bryant became more aggressive on the offensive end.
If the protagonist in the first quarter was Yi Feng, then now Kobe Bryant wants to be the protagonist in the second quarter. It's not that he wants to grab Yi Feng's role, in such an important game, he also wants to contribute his own strength, and he takes the initiative to hold the ball, which also liberates Yi Feng from the extremely physically demanding ball-holding attack, and turns into the off-ball offensive mode, which saves more physical strength while also being able to better play the advantages of his accurate hitting rate.
Defending Kobe Bryant is Harrison Barnes, who has good physical fitness and is better than young; If Kobe Bryant beats him, he can only rely on experience.
In the horn position, Bryant singled Barnes with his back.
After a few hits, the Warriors didn't find him trapped. Maybe it's because he thinks he's getting older, and his offensive efficiency has dropped dramatically.
However, this also fueled Bryant's competitive spirit.
Bryant's shoulders shook suddenly, making it impossible for Barnes to judge the direction in which he turned and cut.
After the shake, Bryant turned around and put his left hand behind him at the same time, stabbing Barnes behind him. It wasn't a foul, but it was a good way to stop Barnes from pursuing.
That's what experience looks like.
Draymond Green was quick to make up for it, and he was on guard immediately after Bryant turned and broke through Barnes.
Bryant's face did not change, noticing Draymond Green's reinforcement, but more noticing that Randle, who Green let go, was in the open position.
And it's an empty space under the basket!
Of course, this vacancy did not appear for long, and as long as Kobe Bryant hesitated slightly, Bogut could fill it.
However, with Bryant's so rich experience, how could he hesitate. Seeing an opportunity, he immediately threw the ball over!
Draymond Green thought he was a throw and immediately jumped to block.
But when he jumped, he realized that he was far from reaching the ball.
Can you throw so high?
He had some doubts.
But when the sound of "clang" sounded behind him, he realized that this was not a throw, but a pass!
Kobe Bryant then turned around and broke through, and the empty pass helped Randle!
Seeing Kobe Bryant, a veteran, have such a wonderful performance, the entire Oracle Arena, even if almost all of them are Warriors fans, are not stingy with applause at this moment.
This is their greatest tribute to Kobe.
And the trio on the commentary seat were naturally excited.
Whether it's for Chris Webb, or Maddie, Kobe Bryant can be said to be their contemporaries. Both of them have retired, but Kobe Bryant is still fighting in the NBA. And it can also perform again and again!
Webb said excitedly: "I didn't expect Kobe, a relic of the old era, to bloom so brightly in the new century!" ”
Maddie lamented, "yes, my glory days can only be found in yellowed memories, or rummaging through the NBA team's reference room. However, Kobe Bryant is like an evergreen, able to bring beauty to people all the time. ”
Mark Jackson: "......"
"What I didn't expect is that you guys are quite affectionate......"
This time the empty connection, although Kobe's breakthrough pass is the first achievement, but it is also inseparable from Randle's brilliant basket follow-up. If Draymond Green had let him go and he had stayed where he was, there wouldn't have been such a wonderful fit.
Bryant and Randle combined for two points, and at 47:51, the Lakers' trail was narrowing.
Offense and defense are transposed, and the Warriors are attacking.
Curry advanced with the ball, and after coming to the frontcourt, he blocked Draymond Green high up, and although no one was going to cover him, he still passed the ball to Green.
Green was facing Clarkson, who was more than a lap younger than him, and it was a very good mismatch opportunity.
Don't look at Draymond Green's usual big grin, one mouth has sprayed a lot of people. But in fact, his mind is also very delicate, and he has some grudges.
Before the game, he and the Lakers players started a scolding battle, although they did not fall behind in words, but Randle compared his rookie season performance with Yi Feng, which undoubtedly greatly lost his face.
What's even more hateful is that Green hasn't regained face on the court yet, so he let Randle dunk comfortably! And it's also an empty connection!
So Green was even more unhappy, and this unhappy mood was completely reflected in his face, and his originally dark face became even darker.
Now I have the ball in my hand, and I'm waiting for the misalignment! Even if he holds the ball and singles with his immature singles skills, the whole team - including the head coach and the "Splash Brothers" will not say anything!
And the ball was passed to him by Curry.
Finally, I waited for the opportunity to vent my bad anger! Draymond Green almost shuddered!
It's exciting!
Without saying anything, he turned his back and arched in front of Clarkson.
The two are not in the same order of magnitude at all, and Clarkson's shameless style of play naturally takes advantage.
Draymond Green pushed his back very fast, and he estimated that in two seconds, he would be able to push directly to the basket and turn around and dunk!
He was so excited that he didn't pay attention to the bag that the Lakers gave him. Although his teammate Barnes noticed and loudly reminded him, Green, who was immersed in happiness, was a little slower to react.
By the time he realized something was wrong, Bryant had already taken his ball away.
After Kobe Bryant cut off Green's ball, he didn't break fast at the first time. He, with old arms and legs, may not be able to outrun the young man even if he runs desperately.
This kind of opportunity to play a fast attack is left to the young people.
It's not that Kobe Bryant is stingy with physical strength, but he knows that at this time, there will always be someone who will rush out as soon as possible.
This person is Yi Feng, he has an extremely keen sense of smell and excellent sense of fast attack. When he noticed that Kobe Bryant had successfully broken the ball, he was like a cheetah, and rushed to the Warriors' half court with a "whoosh".
Kobe Bryant made a long pass, easily and happily got another assist - Yi Feng took three steps directly after receiving the ball, and the gliding tomahawk split was successful!
At 49:51, the Warriors' lead is only two points left!!
During this period of chasing points, the biggest credit is of course Kobe Bryant, two passes and one defense, and he has the feeling of dreaming back to the top.
During this time, he was completely the protagonist on the field, and his every move touched the hearts of tens of thousands of fans in the Oracle Arena - paying tribute to the veteran Kobe Bryant, for his wonderful performance, even as a hostile camp, they had to say the word "service" and send the most sincere applause; However, it is precisely as an opposing camp that Kobe's wonderful performance means that the team they support does not perform well, is it really appropriate to give applause at this time?
However, whether it is suitable or not, Kobe's wonderful performance continues.
The Warriors attacked again, this time Curry and Draymond Green blocked again, Curry did not take the lead of the team at this time, and bravely stepped up when the team was facing difficulties. Instead, he passed the ball out again.
Draymond Green, even if he is not in a thousand ways, is also trying to get revenge on the Lakers with the ball. But at least at this time he dared to make a move, and he dared to bear this pressure.
It's no wonder that some people think that Draymond Green is more of a leader than Curry.
The Lakers still didn't wrap Curry, but instead wrapped up Green, who wanted to eat Clarkson again.
The sudden tightening of the defense made Draymond Green a little uncomfortable, although in the fourth position, his dribbling ability is top-notch, but compared to the two people who contain him, Clarkson and Kobe, his dribbling level is not enough.
Under the wrap-up between the two, Green was stumbling left and right, and if it weren't for his quick eyes and quick hands and timely hugging the basketball, he might have received a turnover.
However, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.
Although Draymond Green held the ball with both hands in time, how could Kobe, who has a lot of experience in the game, let go of such a good opportunity!
He thrust his hands into Green's arms, and after touching the ball, he pulled him into his arms. Although in terms of strength, he can't compare to Green in the fourth position, but he still holds on tightly and doesn't let go.
Beep beep -
After a while, the referee blew the whistle directly and ruled that it was a scrum!
This also means that the Warriors may lose this ball in this offense, which means another successful defense for the Lakers!
It's Kobe Bryant again!
Tens of thousands of fans inside Oracle Arena want to shout......
But is it really appropriate? (To be continued.) )
