"In this game, the Lakers have been driven to the cliff, and if they don't make any changes, they will fall to the Western Conference finals and lose the qualification to continue competing this season." "This season, the Golden State Warriors have let everyone know that they are not a pseudo-strong team like the Hawks on the other side, and they will be revealed as soon as they get to the playoffs," Meteor Shower said. They have proved one thing with amazing strength that this season, they are true league seeds and not foils. The people who underestimated them all over the world are now being punished horribly and cruelly. "The meteor shower now seems to have become a bit more literary, much better than the dry at the beginning, the business level is not much higher, but at least it has maintained progress." The Lakers are two teams in the regular season and playoffs at all. Zhang Weiping also spoke: "We can see that the Lakers attacked mercury in the regular season, and the league's highest scoring average per game is much higher than that of the Warriors, so their problems on the defensive end have also been covered up." And when it comes to the playoffs? Except for the first round against the Houston Rockets, the rest of the time can be described as worrying, and there are ups and downs in every game, whether it is winning or losing. How do you actually say this, let's put it this way, the Lakers' defense has always been like this, and even if there is a gap between the playoffs and the regular season, it is not that big, so what is the real problem with them? It's the offense, it's their offensive end that's having problems, and the offensive magic weapon of the regular season is nowhere to be seen, so the problems on the defensive end are exposed. ”

"It's a miracle that it has been able to hold on until now. I was too optimistic about it, and when I faced the real strong teams in the league, I realized how fragile this team was, and it was not as strong as I imagined. If this team is in the East, there may be a possibility of reaching the Finals, but in the West, it is really difficult. This is not something that Tang Qian can solve alone. ”

"Tang Qian really tried his best, but the Lakers are not as good as the Warriors as a whole. If they want to turn the tables and win, they need to do too many aspects, first of all, they need to stand up on the outside, which is the basic condition, otherwise, Tang Qian alone will not be able to become Jordan. ”

See Lian Weiping. Tang Dynasty. Bryant said so, and many Lakers fans also felt that there was not much hope, and the entire Lakers team's special area, forum, and post bar were all lifeless. The opposite Warriors area, forum, and post bar are, and there are posts attacking the Lakers and mocking the Lakers everywhere. Look at one of the most typical examples, the NBA Tieba, which is a magical place where the team has the upper hand and which star leads the team to win, you can capture the Tieba. When Kobe Bryant was awesome, this post bar was basically Comy, and later James rose, and it was basically Jammy, and later, it was occupied by the Warriors. It is known as the place where the saliva sticks the most. When the fight is intense, you can see any post.

Oracle Stadium.

Tang Qian, who was back on the court, pulled Jimmy over. Butler said, "Jimmy, I'll give you the ball later, you must make a decisive shot and try to grab three points, you know?" We need three-pointers now! I'll try my best to rebound, don't be afraid of not making it! "Because the third quarter is the usual starting re-entry, the current Lakers lineup is Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Ariza + Butler + Jeremy Lin. And the most stable offensive point in this is actually Butler, Tang Qian doesn't know what his future will be, but for now, he is the most suitable outside player for the Lakers team at the moment.

Grievances or something, now all have to be put aside, and the first thing a professional player does on the field is to win.

Otherwise, you don't even have basic professionalism.

Although Butler has done a lot of "moth" things before, he is obviously much more honest after being rectified later, Tang Qian is not a person who cares about holding on to the former suspicions, not to mention how well they get along in the back, at least they don't stumble on each other. That's enough. Think about what Rodman said back then, he only fought with Jordan Pippen on the court, and when he got off the court, he went back to his own house to find his own mother, in fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the NBA. Who says you have to be a really good friend to play good basketball? The contradictions between the combinations are constantly rubbing, and they have also played the achievements of the triple true dynasty? So at this time, everything has to be for the team, for the whole, for the sake of victory.

Because they're not wild players, they're professionals.

Butler was also stunned when he saw Tang Qian like this, after all, since the last incident, he and Tang Qian have always been a little "respectful of each other" and "too polite on the surface". Apart from training and competitions, there is little personal contact. Tang Qian talked to him like this for the first time in a long time.

"Me? Am I the main target? What about you? Butler asked, he wasn't sure what Tang Qian meant.

"yes, I'm stuck too tightly right now, someone has to step up on the outside, otherwise I won't be able to score on the attack."

"Why don't you find the rest?" Butler continued, "I don't have a good relationship with you. ”

"I like your honesty." Tang Qian did not shy away from answering directly: "Then I will tell the truth, because you are now in this team, you have the strongest personal strength, and Chris is not here, so you need to stand up." How? Cowardly? "You're just scared." Butler snorted in his nose and said in his heart: I'm only afraid that you will beat me, and I am not afraid of the rest!

"That's okay, let's do it, whether you can win this game or not, you are the key, if you can't complete the task and can't open the outside situation, we are ready to start the summer vacation and choose a fishing location." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he patted his body and said, "Remember, believe in yourself, you can do it." I think you actually have a lot of hidden energy in addition to ambition. ”

"Burst out, Y?"

If only Nick. When Yang and Jeremy Lin heard it, they would definitely say in their hearts: Why is this set so familiar?

Did he tell us the same thing at the time?

Isn't it? Be. Tang Qian just wants to use this seemingly "metaphysical" thing to help them build self-confidence.

Otherwise, it's not cost-effective to just use the ability card like this. It's best to bring something extra.

For example, Nick in last year's finals. Young, such as Jeremy Lin at the beginning of this year's regular season, actually gave them extra self-confidence with his ability cards. This is also considered to be the maximum use. There is nothing wrong with saying that it is a "mysterious eastern power". At the same time, Tang Qian activated this silver assist card, which was also his only remaining ability card. This thing is getting harder and harder to get, it's really a deep routine of "different space". Out of the "novice village", there will be no big benefits as before.

The game restarted, the Warriors served, they played a pass after blocking and dismantling, Curry rushed in and passed to Iguodala on the outside, Iguodala shot in the middle, brushed ~ hit. As soon as the score difference came up, the Warriors extended it to 16 points. At 38-54, the Lakers fell behind more and more. The five-small lineup is really powerful, the space containment is too strong, and without the support of a perfect defensive system, Tang Qian can only be pulled away frequently, and there is no way to stay on the inside line for a long time.

Unless you don't care about other people's three-point shots.

But can you put the Warriors? I can't put it in. People can shoot 3-pointers with 5 points. It's really deadly.

D'Antoni shook his head a little secretly when he saw this, not knowing what else to do.

This Warriors team, especially this "five-small lineup", made him feel that his small-ball system has a lot of flaws, many things, and they need to be upgraded. Otherwise, if you use the original set, you will be beaten at all. He really thought of a way to the future of the original space, but now, he didn't think of it, and the Lakers didn't have the conditions to implement it.

Tang Qian asked for the ball, and he was really surrounded by the Warriors, because the Lakers' outside played too poorly tonight, and their morale was also very low, which led to the Golden State Warriors being able to rest assured and boldly encircle him. The encirclement is still very smooth, and I don't worry about being attacked from the outside. Anyway, with their "five small" mobility, the general contraction can be pounced out in time, at least the interference can be played, so as not to let the opponent shoot an empty basket without interference.

Besides, the Lakers didn't have an outside open at all tonight, so there's no need to worry.

"Surround him and see what tricks he can play!" Big Mouth Green is directing the Warriors' defense, don't look at his big mouth, but the defensive IQ and defensive command ability are really strong, otherwise who do you think the Warriors' defensive core is? Even Iguodala is used as a defensive striker, not a defensive core. The defensive core of this Golden State Warriors team is not Iguodala, not Thompson, not Bogut, and it is even more unlikely to be Curry and the like, or Drummond. Green.

It doesn't matter if you don't like his style of play, or look down on him, he is such a person, and his ability will not be erased by the words of the outside world.

"Hot, admit defeat, you are very strong alone, but there is no way to survive tonight! Doomed to be my men! ”

When Tang Qian heard this, he deliberately broke through the posture and attracted the Warriors' defense a little deeper before saying, "You come here alone, I beat your big-mouthed mother so much that she doesn't know you." What else would you do besides encirclement and suppression? In the Middle Ages, people like you don't deserve a duel! Because you don't have what it takes to be a knight! "You don't talk nonsense! I'll just ask you, what if you can't score a point, what if you can't score a goal? After Green finished speaking, Tang Qian came out of the ball and said, "Then why don't you let my teammates score?" Do you have too much trash talk in your head, and people are about to play stupid? ”

The ball was passed in a timely manner, and after entering the realm of 7 assist crystal bricks, Tang Qian's pass has reached the first-class level of the league's interior line, and he has attracted too much defensive attention tonight, and this ball is suddenly passed out, which is also a good opportunity. Thompson was careless with this ball, and before he had time to run out, he saw the Lakers' Jimmy. Butler hit a three-pointer shot.

Butler actually tonight, no, the whole series wasn't feeling good, defending his man and Nick. Young, basically, is either Thompson or Iguodala. The individual defense ability of these two people is stronger than the other, and the other is more stable than the other, and he is now in the first year of transformation from the outside blue-collar team, and the high-intensity and high-energy defense in the playoffs makes him very unaccustomed. Playing the Rockets, Harden's defense is needless to say, especially at the moment, the "nightclub mode" is even more weak, and it is not unusual to be beaten by Butler. In the last round, it was a similar story, with either J.J. Redick or Jamal Crawford. One of these two has a defensive attitude and experience, but he is too short, only in his early 190+CM. One of them, notoriously defenseless, only has the "word" of offense in his eyes. So it also made Butler play well. Only in this series, he played badly, the intensity of defense has come up, whether it is a single defense or as a whole, the Warriors are the strongest choice in this league. Except for the Lakers' interior defense that can overpower them, what about the rest? Who dares to say first?

He is the No. 1 defensive efficiency this season, so it's normal for Butler to be deflated.

At least until this ball, it was like this.

If you can't prevent that slip, Butler's shooting percentage in this series can't be watched.

Brush ~ hit is hit rate ~ but it looks more like luck and lost so much, the reason why you always have to "conserve character". It didn't get much of a concern from the Warriors. The Warriors didn't shoot it either, and the chances were okay, but they couldn't hit 100% of the time on the spot. Empty seats are impossible. After Curry threw the ball, he said to the Lakers: "Count you lucky." You won't be so lucky in the next ball. ”

Is it? The next ball Tang dived his back to attract, and after entering a deeper position, 3 people came to help defend, he immediately played the ball, and the basketball went to the bottom right corner, where Jimmy was standing. Butler. Thompson reacted quickly enough this time, and with a twist, he sped towards the bottom corner, and then perfectly sealed his face at the moment when Butler made a move, which was definitely a brilliant distraction. Under normal circumstances, this kind of interference intensity is enough, and Thompson does not have the kind of extraordinary blocking ability and elasticity to block a player of the same height in this way. Frontal blocking and shooting is actually the most difficult one, and those who play basketball know that this kind of ball is far more difficult to cover than going to the basket and impacting the basket.

Not to mention the NBA. Butler is short-handed, but not so sarcastic.

Oracle Field Commentator Bob. Gerrard said: "Clay is a very timely defense, his defensive fundamentals are really good, if the physical fitness can be more vigorous, he should be able to compete for the defensive lineup." Of course, it is enough now, and with our Warriors' 'five-small lineup', mobility and its ability to complement defense will be improved again. So it's not so easy for the Lakers to shoot us with an outside basket. ”

"Of course, everyone knows this, how many long shots did they score tonight? Empty seats can't get in, let alone this kind of effective interference. Just defend the defensive rebound and hit another one to extinguish their hopes once again. Another live commentator, Jim. Barnett said.

Well, Thompson himself thinks that the interference of this ball is enough, there is no need to overemphasize the block, the true meaning of defense is not to block, let the opponent shoot and not score, then it will be fine. Thinking of this, Thompson didn't turn back to the inside, but was ready to start directly from the bottom line and rush to the frontcourt.

The Warriors' backcourt rebounding has always been Kerr's top priority, they can do without low-post rebounds in the frontcourt, but they can't do without low-post rebounds in the backcourt. Especially against the Lakers, basically take a large number of squatting under the basket, relying on the method of "more people and more strength" to squeeze out Tang Qian's action space, and then rely on the characteristics of the "five small lineup" after getting the ball, force the start, and still play a defensive counterattack. This is also where the "five small lineups" are difficult to contain, they can still launch high-speed offensive and defensive transitions again after protecting the backcourt rebounds, and the probability of launching is not low, which is difficult for other teams to do.

Only 5 people can quickly switch offense and defense, so they have the confidence and strength.

"Little Quickling" has really been developed to the limit by them.

Tang Qian is very strong, but in the face of the Warriors' vigorous contraction of the basket, he also feels a headache, after all, other teams are so shrinking, basically the team has no chance to play fast, and he can also rush back in time and settle down to guard the basket. But on the Warriors' side, the situation has changed, and they can still play fast after shrinking, which is a bit of a "cheating" feeling. It's no wonder they're a fast-paced team with a small ball, but they're excellent in defense and rebounding, and the mystery lies in these details. Kerr has found a solution to fill all the problems of this system, no wonder the Warriors are so strong as soon as they come out.

The whole alliance is invincible.

It's not covered.

Coupled with the lack of defensive system support on the Lakers' side, they are all reluctant to go back, and they are all in a state where they have not yet had time to adjust, so it is easy to be used by the Warriors, seize the opportunity, and play the ball into the basket.

But this time, it's a pity that Tang Qian didn't even plan to run back at all, and 1~2 seconds after Butler shot, the sound of "brushing" through the radio near the basket and rebound suddenly spread throughout the entire Oracle Arena. Without further ado, this voice has only one meaning on the basketball court, and that is, goals. That's right, Jimmy. Butler scored another three points.

At 44-54, the margin narrowed to exactly 10 points.

The Warriors passed and cut together, the baseline went around, Curry went around in a big circle, disrupted the Lakers' defense, attracted the pass, and the basketball went to Thompson. Butler changed direction and lunged towards Thompson, but he passed the ball again, and the basketball passed to Barnes in the bottom corner. Because the defensive formation has long been disrupted by the Warriors, only Tang Qian has a chance to save this ball, Barnes took a look, and shot three points in the bottom corner, but it was precisely because of this aim that Tang Qian rushed out of the interior and wanted to slap him off. Barnes was also surprised by the speed and height of the No. 29's save, and accelerated his shot, and the basketball popped up the frame, which was a long rebound, and Green got it. Green's shot went straight to the Lakers' basket.

"Oops, this ball has picked up a bargain for the Warriors, and the defense just now has been in vain."

Zhang Weiping of the Celestial Empire Sports Station said about this, it can be seen that he also regrets this round, after all, the Lakers spent a lot of effort, Tang Qian pounced, and finally stopped one, but this result is still the same. It's a bit demoralizing and hard to accept. And at this time, there is a person who decisively let go of his defender and helps to chase the defense, and he is Jimmy. Butler. Butler's ball appeared very suddenly, and although Green wanted to stabilize it, after a physical confrontation, the basketball still came out of the basket.

The rebounding ball was actually "stolen" by Curry, a little man, who happened to hit the rebound path of the ball while moving, which was equivalent to good luck and won a frontcourt rebound for the Warriors. He shot directly under the basket quickly, and wanted to end this chaotic round, but the basketball was only halfway through when he was pressed on the rebound with a palm.

It turned out that Tang Qian came back and gave Curry a pegboard hat.

"Well done." Tang Qian patted Jimmy. Butler's ass rushed to the front.

What he said was not a lie, but the truth, if it weren't for Butler's successful delay in one of his defenses, Green's ball would have gone in, and he wouldn't have been able to wait for Tang to come back and nail the board to block the "schoolboy" Curry's quick shot under the basket.

Butler was encouraged and his confidence improved significantly, and with two three-pointers in the last few rounds and a successful defense, it can be said that the presence of the court has suddenly come up. As soon as the sense of presence came up, Butler himself felt that his attention was much more concentrated. This sense of presence and deliberately finding a sense of existence are two different things, one is to do a good job, and naturally there is a sense of existence, which is from the attention of the outside world, and the other is that? It's all my own work, and the meaning is completely different.

It's also a natural effect, and both successful defense and successful offense can bring about this.

Who knew that after coming, Butler had just received the ball when he noticed that the defender had changed.

From Clay. Thompson became Andre who was more defensively aggressive. Iguodala, whose single defense has reached its strongest peak in this year's playoffs, is not fake as the "FMVP that comes out". James only shot less than 4 percent under a large number of his single defenses, and it is conceivable that Jimmy is still the first year of transformation. Butler up. Butler was also defended by Iguodala in this series, because in addition to the "five-small lineup", Iguodala is normally a substitute for the No. 2 and No. 3 positions.

It's normal for Butler to be targeted by him, and the muscular man gave him a terrifying sense of defensive oppression in the series. This feeling of oppression was not seen in the regular season against the latter. Also, it's normal, since Kerr took over the Golden State Warriors, Iguodala has been in a state of "dozing off" in the regular season, and of course there is no big feeling when he meets him.

As for the playoffs, they are two very different people.

Regarding Iguodala's "only a dozen games a year", it started with Kerr coaching the Warriors.

Right here at Jimmy. When Butler seemed to be about to hesitate, a loud roar came from the low post:

"What are you waiting for? What are you thinking? Shoot straight! What the hell is !! ”

"Hit him!!"
