Chapter 1121 The Black Line in Bogut's Heart with a Capital Bold (It's a New January~Ask for Tickets~)
No one expected that the Lakers would suddenly tie the score in the second quarter and turn it over. This period of time is obviously recognized as the weakest time of the season for the Lakers. Who knows, but it has become, chasing time. This may really be a little confusing for an ordinary head coach, but Kerr is Kerr after all, and he is a person with the potential to be a dynasty coach, so he calmly called a timeout after seeing the Lakers hit another mid-range 2-point shot.
He began to replace Curry, and then took Livingston, Livingston obviously hadn't recovered from Tang Qian's super hot pot just now, so Kerr replaced him to calm his mind. And Bogut was also replaced by him, although Festus's defense is okay at the bench level, but the eastern center is in good offensive shape tonight, and then forcibly let Festus defend, it is simply to let him find abuse. Therefore, it is better to replace it with Bogut.
As a result, the Warriors' lineup changes were a bit different, and Thompson also went off the break, and it looked like Kerr was ready to end the Warriors' first half with this lineup.
"How? I'm overtaking. Tang Qian said: "Can't sit still? ”
"It's only 2 points, and I'll let you be suppressed in minutes." Curry is the new MVP, and his aura and confidence are of course completely different from before. In the face of this kind of "trash talk", he did not hesitate to go back. The "greeting each other" between these two people has also become the focus of many videographers and reporters. After all, these two people are the first MVP and the second MVP this year, and it is normal to get a lot of attention.
The Warriors also played very clearly in this section, Curry made a shot to break the game, and the rest of them ran without the ball, and then waited for the opportunity to shoot.
Curry and Bogut are a good pair of pick-and-roll partners right now, and Bogut is also a very important position for this Warriors team before it was upgraded to the "Cosmic Warriors". He is different from Howard, his desire and willingness to block and pick is very high, especially after leaving the Bucks, which makes his whole person see a lot clearly, and the Warriors are more of a system point than a terminal point.
With him, the offense of this Warriors team will indeed be much smoother.
His pick-and-roll screen skills are very strong, and his ability to do so has improved by leaps and bounds since he came to the Warriors and was trained by Kerr, and he and Green, plus Livingston, are all good players, and you can even understand them as the strongest in the use of screen rules at the moment. At least in the 14-15 season, when the tide of pick-and-roll covers across the league, especially when the tide of mobile screens had not yet risen, the crowd of the Warriors piled up a whole bunch of pick-and-roll masters. Of course, they weren't counted before, at least not so famous, and Kerr found out that several of them had the most outstanding talent in this area, and immediately used it in large quantities this season to maximize the space for his own shooter system designed by the Warriors.
There are no teams and players in the league who use mobile pick-and-roll on such a large scale, and in fact, until next season, the league is still transitioning and learning, so there is basically no other way to do this than complain. The league has been tightening the penalty for a while, but ironically...... In the end, the alliance had to abandon this decision. It even began to acquiesce to the emergence of this mobile pick-and-roll on a large scale. Why? Because it is very slap in the face that in the end, the whole league began to play like this, you can't just "give the green light" to the rest of the Warriors, right, so in the 17~18 season, this kind of illegal cover, in fact, has become common in an NBA game. It's a pity that now, not yet.
Now, it is still an "exclusive patent project" for the Golden State Warriors.
You could also say that the Golden State Warriors are the initiators of the new era of "mobile pick-and-roll gradually legalization".
Curry used the pick-and-roll to score a three-pointer and a long-term two-point as soon as he came up, so the score that had just been tied was swallowed up by the opponent in an instant. After Curry scored 5 points in a row, he also began to fight back Tang Qian: "See? With my brother here, you can't win. But Tang Qian did not retreat, since the Warriors are still using Bogut in a single defense, then he insists on attacking the ball and asking for the ball to play alone. Because now, let alone a mere Bogut, even if any defensive god in history comes, Tang Qian will not be afraid at all. Single defense, even if you Bill. What about Russell, in his current state, he is still killed.
Tang Qian received the ball, the Lakers pulled away, and he directly singled, one eat and one accurate. Bogut had to wonder if his defensive skills had degraded to his high school years tonight. Because, he can't guard against the No. 29 of the Lakers team in front of him at all. You read that right, it's just not at all. He was beaten by Tang Qian 4 and scored 3, and the hit rate was quite scary. Come on, he is the second defense center of the original time and space, if there is no Tang Qian, his defense this year is very good. Absolute defensive candidates. So in the last game, in fact, Tang Qian was not so comfortable. If you increase your shots, it's not impossible to score 20 points, but the efficiency and shooting percentage are bound to not look too good. This is tantamount to weakening the Lakers, who are already at a disadvantage.
But this scene is obviously different, the oriental center in front of him is as if he has exploded, and he can see that the look is the kind of absolute confidence and absolute conceit. It's like he's not a dish tonight at all. This gaze, which he has only seen often during his rookie time, has completely exploded under Kerr this season, and in terms of defense, the league is recognized as excellent. So he also felt that he was not selected for this year's defensive team, which was very unfair and depressed, and he always wanted to prove himself with his strength. Jordan Jr. Forget it, that kind of constipation-like independent offensive ability is not worth his shot at all, and it is far less than the proof that the Lakers' No. 29 is going to come in the game. You look at the last round of the game between the Clippers and the Lakers, even if the Clippers lost, everyone felt that Jordan Jr., who averaged 11 points per game in the Purple and Gold 29 series, had good defensive ability.
Even many people think that Little Jordan is Tang Qian's nemesis, which is funny, basically only looking at the data and not watching the game, and it is also a pseudo fan and pseudo data emperor who only looks at offensive data. However, it is still the same thing, there are always a few knowledgeable people in this world, so as long as you can make the Lakers' No. 29 score decline, not to mention an average of 11 points per game, just an average of 15~16 points per game, that is enough. It can definitely get a lot of praise from the media.
In the last game, Tang Qian scored 23 points, which made Bogut unhappy, because his goal is to be "Jordan Jr. second" and suppress the Lakers' No. 29 points per game below the regular season average points per game. This score, although it is also much lower than Tang Qian's average score per game in the regular season, is still 20+, and this level will not make everyone feel that they are particularly well defended.
At most, if you say it's acceptable, you'll bring it over.
It's not what he wants, so he's trying to defend this game, at least he feels more committed and serious than he was in the last game. But...... God played a big joke on him, he obviously worked harder and more committed tonight, but instead he got less benefit on the defensive end than in the last game.
It could even be said that there is basically no defensive benefit left. This situation made Bogut feel very annoyed.
Could it be that he broke out tonight? Damn~Why did you choose today~ Why didn't you break out on the offensive end with the Clippers in the last round? You're deliberately tricking me, right? Bastard~~~
Tang Qian didn't take these complaints of Bogut to heart at all, and it didn't matter if he heard it or didn't hear it.
Anyway, in his eyes now, anyone who comes to defend him alone has one meaning: a dead end.
Nothing else.
The second half of the second quarter was basically spent like this, with the Warriors' Curry leading the offense, the rest of the people assisting, the Lakers' Tang Qian leading the offense, and the rest cooperating with the scoring offense. For a while, it turned out to be mixed together, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and no one could help anyone. By the end of the first half, the score was 49-51, and the Warriors went into the locker room with a two-point lead. You know, this is still the relationship between the Warriors who finally grabbed a long 2-point shot, but were lucky to hit, otherwise, it would be a tie between the two sides now.
It seems that the score is 2 points ahead, but compared to the maximum lead of 15 points in the first quarter, it is now equivalent to a big loss in the second quarter. It was also eaten away by the Lakers. Curry didn't look very happy when he returned to the locker room, which made him laugh hard. Because in this round of his series, he is determined to completely suppress the Lakers' No. 29, and it is best to beat the opponent every game, just like the first game, and it is best to defeat the opponent by a big score.
Kerr was calm, he still joked, and then said his opinion: steady, don't rush, the Lakers' current performance is only temporary. They don't last. That No. 29, he can't last long. When their form comes down, that's when we crush our opponents in waves. In the war of separation, there is no need to be anxious, just be patient.
Cole is really calm, and when the team is not good and behind, he can also face it with a smile, and according to Wharton Jr.'s memories and dictation, Cole's occasional anger is mostly fake. His fundamental purpose is to influence the referee's decision and motivate the players on the field to play harder. That's Wharton Jr.'s exact words, and there's a famous picture to prove it. Kerr was furious during the game and rushed through the Warriors' bench while Wharton Jr. and another Warriors player tried to persuade him to hold him, but guess what...... Cole suddenly smiled ghostly, and then turned into an angry face for a second, until he was pulled back by Wharton Jr. But unfortunately, this shot was captured by some dedicated videographer on the field, so ...... Wharton Jr. probably saw it afterwards and checked it with Cole, so he said it a few years later.
You said that he smashed the tactical board or not, uh, it's hard to say. After all, the image above is so classic that it's hard to guess if Cole is really angry. Or is it just a "great performance" that tries to influence the game and the players on the field?
Curry is very convinced of Kerr, just for him to let the Warriors and himself soar, from a first-round tour team to one of the strongest championship contenders this year, Curry basically obeyed him without the slightest complaint. Besides, he thought about Cole's words, and felt that they did make sense, and they were not just said to comfort people. Don't look at Tang Qian's average of exactly 28 points per game in the regular season, but Kerr told him that this is not the real individual scoring ability of No. 29, this is the result of the benefit of D'Antoni's system. In addition, the Lakers' No. 29 offensive style and offensive mode are relatively monotonous, which is good for the regular season confrontation is not so strong, and when it comes to the playoffs against which he is more and more escalated, his scoring ability will be further curbed. For example, in the last game, although Tang Qian scored 23 points, he failed to score in the few rounds that required him to score. This is due to the fact that his scoring method is too little, too monotonous, and too easy to consume physical energy, and at the same time, the Warriors' Kerr sees this problem, once this kind of juncture, he immediately makes tactical gestures on the sidelines, making the team shrink, making Tang Qian's basket breakthrough more difficult to break through again and again.
Therefore, Tang Qian's playoff score is indeed much lower than that of the regular season so far.
Cole's judgment is also reasonable and convincing.
At the end of the halftime break, after resuming the game, both sides resumed their starting lineups, and what makes people speechless is that the Lakers still seem to be the same as in the first half, as long as Bogut chooses to defend alone, then Tang Qian is bound to play alone. And the hit rate, directly like a helicopter, rushed into the sky. Bogut was about to have a black line in his heart, he made adjustments at halftime, and he was in good shape at the beginning of the second half, and even had a small explosion on the defensive end, but the result was ......
But he still watched the Lakers' No. 29 continue to shoot, continue to play singles, and continue to score goals under his own defense.
This chic heroic posture, this faint smile, this confident eyes, Nima...... Do you think you're acting in an idol drama?
However, I have to say that the current Bogut feels like a villain in an idol drama. And it's still the kind of least existential.,It's a low-level villain who is created to force the idol male protagonist to protect the flowers.。 This feels so bad.
Obviously, he has improved his defensive state, why does this Oriental have no impact at all?
Are you paper? Are you a straw? Are you a stinky pumpkin? So deterrent?
Seeing that Tang Qian was still scoring, Bogut shouted in his heart while the scale of his movements became bigger and bigger, he was actually quite dark, I believe everyone has a bottom in their hearts after watching the Warriors' games this year. Normally, these actions can also play a certain role in scaring people and deterring people, but tonight, they have completely lost their usefulness. Seriously, Bogut was about to push, pinch, scratch, and scratch in the end, but he still couldn't stop the Dongfang 29 in front of him. He really had to cool down in his heart.
Even if the second No. 29 no longer scores and hits a lot of iron, then with the performance of these times, it is enough to blow up his defense. Unfortunately...... He couldn't get into the opponent's defense yet. This will not play the role of redeeming the coin. Besides, Bogut is very bad in the middle distance, and he is only in the early 3 percent of his career, and he is only 2 into 5 this season! That's right, you read that right, it's 2 into 5, what is this concept? He's a center, so basically this kind of shot is open and opportunity ball, and this kind of shooting percentage is still shooting in this kind of shooting without defensive pressure...... It's also simple.
Long distance, you ask, is 2 points long? Well, I can't bear to tell you that all the long 2 points he shot throughout the 14-15 season were all ironed. That's right, yes, it's all iron, and not a single one of them can get in. And this situation is not the only time in Bogut's career, in fact, when he was with the Milwaukee Bucks, our "Australian center king" once staged this kind of masterpiece. 16~23 feet long 2-point area, season shooting, all iron.
The abbreviation is, all-iron.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for him to pull out and project to score and attack Tang Qian like other interior lines with projection ability. If the Warriors really dared to do this, Tang Qian would have to laugh to death.
Bogut shot on the inside? There is no way to live, not to mention the current Tang Qian, even he is ordinary, which is enough to make Bogut feel that the Lakers' inside basket is like an iron wall King Kong. Look at the ball, Bogut turns around and hooks his hand, huh? There is no confrontation? This shot is very stable, and it should be able to break the "personal scoring drought" during this time. Well, but, this is just Bogut's personal thoughts, in fact, the subsequent result is......
His ball was deliberately let go by Tang Qian, the purpose of which was to hit the morale of the Warriors team and improve the momentum of the Lakers team. I saw that the Lakers No. 29 adjusted his pace, calmly bounced up, and then straightened his right arm, and his five fingers were just right and impartial, just covering the orange ball that was struggling to fly upward. At the moment of contact, his big palm contracted slightly, and with a force, Bogut's small hook became the Lakers' No. 29 bag.
He was in front of Bogut, so lightly, and directly reached out and took off the ball.
This also has a more pleasant and domineering name, saying: Grab the hat is also.
The black line in Bogut's heart was capitalized and bolded several times in an instant.
Oriental hot, I, my day your uncle!!!!!!!!!!
