Chapter 490: Chen Yu, who can't defend, and the Warriors collapse
In today's game, Chen Yu is leading the entire Lakers team to start harvesting opponents.
The warriors had planned a lot of ways to deal with Chen Yu, but they didn't expect these methods to become very unsightly in the face of Chen Yu's outburst.
By the end of the first quarter, on the Warriors' bench, there were Thompson, Curry, and Green covering their heads with towels, and it was obvious that they were in a very bad mood and didn't know what to say.
There were already fans in the Warriors' audience who had left the stadium early.
It stands to reason that when a team reaches the playoffs, not only the fans have requirements for the team, but in fact, the team also has requirements for the fans, and I still hope that the fans will not do anything excessive, and the entry and exit should be orderly, but after all, it is not a law, so it can't be too restrictive.
So, when the Warriors fans left the court early, it was enough to prove how many people were disappointed by this team's performance today.
Not to mention, before the game started, the Warriors were so ambitious from the players to the fans, and they were so armed with guns and sticks when they spoke.
Chen Yu was also on the bench, he scored 19 points in a single quarter, and 19 points in so many packs and defenses, he was also a little tired.
However, D'Antoni and they had already discussed that they would let Chen Yu play at the beginning of the second quarter of the game!
According to the previous arrangement, at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Lakers generally let the bench play the game, wait until the second quarter of the game for a period of time to see how the effect is, and then decide when Chen Yu will play.
But today, he just plans to hit the Warriors by surprise!
This is Chen Yu's established strategy anyway: don't look at the Lakers now, it seems to be aggressive, but the home court of the Warriors is the home of the Warriors after all, and their home atmosphere is also understood.
Therefore, Chen Yu finally chose to play directly in the second quarter!
Chen Yu's direct appearance did disrupt the Warriors' plans.
In the playoffs, everyone generally doesn't dare to rotate ten or even twelve people like the regular season, and most teams are eight or nine people in rotation, so Green and Iguodala on the Warriors' side are still on the court: when the two are on the court at the same time, in fact, the Warriors' offense will decline, but they can make the Lakers' benches not break through at all on the defensive end!
It's a pity that they are now meeting Chen Yu, and Chen Yu is also staying on the court!
Both Iguodala and Green were a little worried.
But it will be outside, and everything can only be done by itself.
Soon, the first shot was the Warriors' offense, and they passed halftime.
The Lakers' current interior defenders are Gasol and Thackeray, the small forward is Hill, and the split is Henry.
Chen Yu kept shouting about defense, which made the Lakers players cheer up, and everyone defended very seriously.
Sometimes, this kind of thing is very wonderful, and it can even subtly change a team, for example, now, the Lakers are being changed by the situation, and everyone is defending harder than the other in the shouts of Chen Yu.
Iguodala missed the shot, and the ball came to the Lakers' side.
Chen Yu dribbled the ball past half court, and the Warriors were already worried.
Now the point guard of the Warriors is Steve Blake, he was traded from the Lakers to the Warriors in February, Chen Yu saw that Iguodala and Green were coming up, and Blake's defense was just a transition, so Chen Yu suddenly changed hands under his crotch and changed direction, and then jumped directly!
Blake was also very helpless in the face of this old teammate, he knew Chen Yu's ability, he could only jump high to defend, but he had lost the opportunity, and there was no advantage in physical fitness at all.
Thereupon......
"Huh!"
Chen Yu's jump shot hit directly!
37-20!
The point difference is getting bigger and bigger.
However, the Warriors' offense was still constipated, and their jumper was deflected wide again, this time by Chen Yu who grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a fast break.
Iguodala gritted his teeth and came up to defend, but Chen Yu changed direction in the middle of the high-speed, directly past Iguodala, and then directly into the interior, attracting a group of people from the Warriors to come up to defend, Chen Yu passed the ball to Gasol, and Gasol easily scored two points.
Although Chen Yu's presence has degraded some of Gasol's skills, and he has become more and more blue-collar as a dominant figure back then, Gasol also knows that scoring points by Chen Yu's side will be very simple.
39-20!
The Warriors are even more anxious, this time, Iguodala is going to force the inside line to score, but Chen Yu is in front of him, and Chen Yu has already stood firm. Iguodala was afraid of an offensive foul and hesitated for a jumper, so the basketball became Chen Yu's rebounding ball again.
Chen Yu advanced to the front again!
This time, Iguodala and Green frantically came up to block, and the two directly sandwiched Chen Yu outside the three-point line, and they would rather Chen Yu pass the ball than let him score again.
Chen Yu is a few very simple moves, a few changes of direction, Green tried to take advantage of Iguodala also to help defend the opportunity to steal, but Chen Yu's ball control skills still let him miss the shot in a thousand shots.
Despite Iguodala's correction, Chen Yu still seized the opportunity at this moment, and immediately made a three-point jumper.
Iguodala came up to defend and almost covered Chen Yu's basketball, but Chen Yu dodged his block with a back, and then the basketball hit again!
The Warriors' home fans found themselves so sad that they even felt numb.
The score has become 42-20, and the difference has widened to 20 points.
The Warriors had to call a timeout urgently.
After this timeout, the main force of the Warriors has all returned, and their purpose is to do everything in their power to stop Chen Yu.
But they still didn't score their first goal and obviously the scoring drought will continue for a while.
Compared with their scoring drought, although they had to defend Chen Yu to the death, Chen Yu played very patiently, and the Lakers used three people to constantly come over to cover, but Chen Yu still found a shooting opportunity outside the three-point line.
And then the shot went in again!
45-20!
The spectators at Oracle Arena booed, but the boos were a little weak, and they didn't know it was aimed at the Lakers...... Or for the Warriors!
At this time, the two sides are already 25 points apart! The Warriors' players were lifeless and almost desperate.
