Chapter 31: Countermeasures

As a superstar, Kobe Bryant receives a lot of attention even if he can't play.

The live camera will always focus on him, and from time to time he will give him close-ups.

And Chu Xuan, who was sitting next to him, of course, also benefited from this, and was constantly able to show his face in front of fans all over the world, which was an opportunity to increase his fame.

However, at this time, Chu Xuan did not have the leisure to show his cold and fascinating qualities to fans all over the world, and the live game made him unable to be distracted to do other things.

"Stephen Curry was feeling good today, he always gets the shots, which doesn't bode well."

Although Chu Xuan was calm on the surface, he was already slightly worried, and he thought about countermeasures.

Although Curry is not as perverted as he was in the next few years, his cutting ability should not be underestimated. When he smokes the wind, it is absolutely unstoppable, and then there is only regret.

Therefore, Chu Xuan resolutely didn't want Curry's performance to be too good. Before he has the slightest signs of an outbreak, it must be stifled as early as possible.

While thinking about it, Curry hit another three-pointer to score his 11th point of the game. You know, now that the game has just begun, Curry has scored frequently, and the intention is already extremely obvious.

Obviously, Curry is going to take the Lakers to announce his return today.

However, with the Lakers with Chu Xuan, can Curry's purpose succeed?

The sharp shot, when the basketball went into the frame, even the net did not move, which made the witnesses feel incredible.

Chu Xuan felt that Curry was definitely going to break out, after all, he had been bad for too long this season, and there was no reason to be silent any longer.

"Phil, we can't let this guy stay outside the three-point line anymore, he's too much of a threat."

When Phil Webb heard this, he immediately nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"So what to do? You know, Stephen has the ability to attack independently. You can't expect to limit him completely. Especially when he wants to score. ”

Seriously, as Phil Webber said, Curry is a master dribbling shooter, and you can't treat him like a spot shooter.

"Defend him, try to let him break through to the inside, our big man will take care of him." Chu Xuan stared intently at the field and said without thinking.

While speaking, it was the Lakers' turn to attack on the court, Nash gave the ball to Gasol, and Gasol scored the ball hard. After the goal, Gasol looked at the bench seemingly casually.

The audience immediately remembered warm applause, and soon after the game began, Gasol proved that he was the most trustworthy person in Staples with a strong performance.

"Paul did a great job, and he had to fight like that. Man, keep it up. Chu Xuan grinned excitedly, from the current point of view, Gasol has completed the pre-game coaching staff arrangement, which is a manifestation of the excellent execution of the All-Star players.

Phil Webb saw the situation on the field and nodded slightly. And his gaze at Chu Xuan was also full of meaning. Because, before the game, Chu Xuan insisted on focusing on Gasol at the coaching staff meeting.

At the time, his opinion was really not very acceptable. But looking at it now, Chu Xuan's choice can only be described as wise.

This made him wonder why Chu Xuan, a young man, was always able to find the right direction.

Is this an innate ability?

Phil Webb thought, sighing, and at the same time with a hint of envy.

With this in mind, Phil Webb couldn't help but consider Chu Xuan's suggestion.

After thinking about it in my heart, I soon made a decision.

When he took a timeout, Phil Webb rearranged and changed his defensive strategy.

"If he's going to score, I'd like to see him at the free-throw line. Besides, you can't give him a comfortable shot, especially from beyond the three-point line. Of course, when necessary, you can choose to clip him. ”

For Curry, Phil Webber arranged it very clearly, in short, he just couldn't let him score comfortably.

This arrangement is very satisfactory to Chu Xuan, in his opinion, the defense library has to be so guarded. As long as it can make him feel uncomfortable on the field, it will always affect his state to some extent.

"Hassan, you're going to grab the rebound, it's your chance to be famous. Against a team like the Warriors who are good at projection, we can only have a chance to win if we grab rebounds. ”

When Whiteside came off the court, Chu Xuan instructed him at the first time to prevent him from relaxing on the field.

In the period that has passed, the Lakers have been very aggressive in their fight for rebounding. But Whiteside, as a starter, did not appear in particularly eye-catching shots.

"I know, Chu, I'll be able to handle it. Rebounding is what I do best. 'Whiteside is full of confidence and is not at all pressured by the fact that he is not in good form for the time being.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan nodded with a smile and sat back to the side.

For Chu Xuan, in this game, he only cared about two things.

The first is the Lakers' protection of rebounding. In the face of an offensive team like the Warriors, when the Lakers can't reach the firepower output, rebounding is the most important aspect to start with.

The second is the performance of the Splash Brothers in terms of scoring. The two of them have been key to the Warriors' victory. In Chu Xuan's view, defending Curry is, in a sense, more important than defending Thompson.

******

After the Lakers made adjustments, Curry couldn't get a shot easily. In addition, Curry is a player with an extremely selfless style of play, so in the subsequent games, he did not shoot much. In this way, it made him a much less threat in attack.

Although the Warriors have maintained good offensive efficiency with the performance of other players since then, the Lakers' performance on the offensive end is also remarkable, and they are not lagging behind at all.

In this game, the Lakers insisted that all offense be launched from the inside, thus relying on Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill.

And the progress of the game is also quite gratifying and exciting. Gasol used his excellent inside skills to turn over the river and sea in the paint area, and frequently scored points. Jordan Hill, who was on the bench, looked resolute in his mid-range shots. And he has a good hand, so his contribution to the Lakers is obvious to all.

On the other hand, on the inside of the Warriors, Bogut and David Lee seemed to be struggling, so they were completely blown up by the Lakers' interior line. In this case, the Lakers maintained the lead by virtue of the inside.

When the team is in a bad position, the star players should always step up.

As the Lakers became more and more dominant inside, the Warriors gradually fell into disadvantage. The star Curry is naturally extremely eager to stand up, but under the nonsense of the Lakers' group of animals, he always seems to be difficult to get out of the cycle of striking iron and unable to help the Warriors.

When Curry's gun is dumb, the Warriors still have Thompson, who can be called a marksman, to use. However, judging from this first half, his hand has not been good.

The Splash Brothers are both dumbfounded, and the warriors are in danger.

In such a situation, the Lakers are getting braver and braver.

At halftime, the Lakers took a 64-40 lead, and the game seemed to have a bit of a tempo.
