Chapter 340: Defeat the Warrior with the Warrior's Method
The Staples Center is like a sea of white. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The home fans wearing white T-shirts broke out into the most primitive atmosphere of watching the game, shouting excitedly, cheering excitedly after the goal, and scolding under the failure of the defense...... Everything is adding a new color to this fierce offensive battle.
The heat emanating from it was steaming up, and the ocean of people seemed to be boiling.
Under the infection of this atmosphere, the bodies of the players on the field seem to be hot, and the state is getting better and better, making the game more intense.
There was a sound of sneakers rubbing against the ground, followed by the sound of a few basketballs hitting the ground, followed by the sound of a basketball brushing the net.
Suddenly, the heat broke out again.
"Kobe, in the face of Klay's defense, he made a jump shot outside the three-point line!"
Chu Xuan waved his fist excitedly, this was already Kobe's third three-pointer in this section of the game. Looking at the 10-point lead, Chu Xuan was extremely satisfied. Obviously, his decision in the locker room paid off a lot, and the Lakers are playing against the Warriors the way they play.
Bryant scored just nine points in the first half, and now just halfway through the third quarter, his personal score has reached 20 points. His sudden outburst on the scoring end caught the Warriors a little off guard.
"Fack, poor rotation, weak defense, damn tricks."
Cole thundered on the sidelines, cursing and swearing.
The referee received the gesture from the Warriors' assistant coach and immediately blew the whistle, and the game went into a timeout.
Chu Xuan ignored Cole's crazy reaction, because in the future, there was definitely something that would give Cole more of a headache.
"Zach, we'll fight like this later......"
Chu Xuan beckoned to Laven, and then raised his ear to him.
Subsequently, Chu Xuan gave some simple instructions to everyone, pointing out some of their shortcomings in the game and the areas that needed to be adjusted.
……
Warriors bench.
Cole stood on the sidelines, his face quite ugly. Looking at the Warriors players walking towards the arena, Kerr looked at Chu Xuan, who was sitting on the sidelines chatting with Phil Webb, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart: Damn guy, if you play this kind of trick, I will definitely make you look good......
Cole was angry because he didn't expect Chu Xuan to be cunning enough to use the Warriors' style of play to fight, and the Warriors were playing badly in the face of a pirated Warriors team. This made Cole feel sarcastic, and when the old face couldn't hang up, he naturally couldn't help but burst into a rage.
Although the Lakers will definitely let the players practice the playing style of each opponent in their daily training, the tactics of other teams are not the Lakers' best and most proficient style of play after all. Therefore, Kerr feels that with the same tactical play, the Warriors will definitely be better than the Lakers. However, the result really made him feel aggrieved.
After much deliberation, Kerr finally made a defensive adjustment, and he wanted to guard against this pirated Warriors.
This is what makes Cole difficult to accept in his heart, because he has a feeling that he is studying the defensive warriors, which makes him feel that Chu Xuan's trickery is terrible again, and he scolds Chu Xuan's insidious cunning again in his heart.
However, Chu Xuan, who was sitting on the sidelines and was complacent, of course didn't care about Kerr's reaction, he was seriously watching the Warriors' defensive runs, eagerly comprehending and learning Kerr's defensive tricks.
And beside Chu Xuan, assistant teachers such as Nash, Webb, and Peyton also wrote and drew in their notebooks, and the scene made people feel extremely weird.
"Are these guys studying tactics on the spot?" Barkley was a little puzzled, he knew what was going on on the pitch, and this speculation was the most likely outcome. "I really sympathize with Steve, I think he might as well do the commentary with us, which will make him easier and happier, and not spend all day on his brain cells."
Reggie Miller smiled and nodded in agreement: "yes, I didn't advise him to coach in the first place. I didn't expect him to actually go. Charles, you know what? Actually, I'm more worried about whether Steve will go bald when he retires from coaching. ”
Miller's words are indeed bad enough, and if Cole is here, he will definitely have to fight with him. At this point, Kerr was gone, and Barkley and Miller were laughing happily.
……
Under LaVine's defense, Curry made a series of disguises, then made a trademark step-back step and hit a step from beyond the three-point line.
"Shet!"
Raven, who jumped high, fell from the sky and couldn't help but let out a low curse.
His defense was already very good, but Curry still took a very limited opportunity to shoot the ball, and then the ball was very unreasonable.
When he never entered the NBA, LaVine was familiar with Curry's metamorphosis, which made him obsessed with three-point shooting. Speaking of which, this is also the reason why LaVine has a good long-range shooting ability.
When defending Curry himself as a defender, LaVine really felt the pressure, and he felt that Curry had entered a higher level of three-point prowess, and everyone else could only look up to him in this regard.
However, LaVine's fighting spirit has already been trained by Kobe Bryant, and Curry's performance will only make him more excited and motivated.
"Come again!" LaVine clenched his fists and got back into the game.
LaVine can't stop Curry, and the Warriors have a hard time finding someone to guard LaVine.
Especially under Chu Xuan's special arrangement, LaVine ran directly out of the open position with the help of the elevator-style meat shield cover of Noll and Whiteside, and the three-point jump shot was also colored.
Immediately after, LaVine was still defending Curry, while Kobe Bryant was opposite Thompson.
Bryant's defensive experience made it very difficult for Thompson to play and find good offensive timing. And Antetokounmpo's defense completely severed the connection between the Warriors' players...... So the game evolved into a solo performance in which Curry wanted to turn the tide.
Letting Curry attack, this is Kerr's solution to the pirate of the Warriors, because strong individual ability can often make bad things easy, which is the tactical concept that Kerr learned from Jordan when he was playing for the Bulls.
Curry does have this terrible ability to finish games, but in the face of the powerful champion Lakers and the most talented coach Chu Xuan, it is very difficult for Kerr to get his wish.
After about a few rounds, Chu Xuan understood Cole's intentions, and he felt that he had learned a good solution to the game today.
Immediately, Chu Xuan made tactical adjustments, and the Lakers' tactics became blocking and dismantling, Noll mentioned high blocking, Antetokounmpo cut inside, and LaVine cut back and scored on a jumper...... Under Kobe's organization, the Lakers' tactics became very fluid, and the offensive efficiency began to increase.
Curry did find an offensive feel that ignored the defense, and the Lakers took turns making substitutions to defend him, but neither worked well.
Curry is constantly scoring, but in the face of the Lakers' full bloom, Curry's offense pales in comparison, and he has a feeling of powerlessness...... However, the rest of the Warriors have been lost on the offensive end and can't help Curry.
When he saw the Lakers lead the Warriors 43-24 in the first quarter, Curry felt his heart bleed, and for the first time, he had a desire to find help. He clearly understands that with the current Warriors' roster, it will be difficult for them to shake the Lakers' position in the West. Of course, if the Warriors are in full bloom from the outside, they have a chance of winning. However, in terms of absolute strength, the Warriors are indeed no match for the Lakers, because the Lakers' interior twin towers are the biggest advantage.
With a 22-point lead, the Lakers entered the final quarter.
Chu Xuan arranged for the main team to rest, and then sent a Chinese-style lineup composed of Jeremy Lin, Maddie, Zhang Yang, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhelin to compete with the Warriors.
Such a lineup close to the Chinese team will naturally not be the opponent of the Warriors. About 4 minutes later, Chu Xuan sent LaVine and Whiteside to replace Wang Zhelin and Zhang Yang.
After LaVine came on the court, he still felt hot, and he scored 11 points in a row, completely taking the game into garbage time.
The Lakers defeated the Warriors 137-109.
Curry was 13-of-26, including 8-of-13 three-pointers and 9-of-9 free throws, contributing 43 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Thompson had 17 points and Barnes had 15 points.
And the Lakers, LaVine scored 34 points, and Kobe Bryant had 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
Six Lakers players scored in double figures, and all 12 players on the court scored. (To be continued.) )
