621. Kobe Bryant Breakout!
Liu Ren remembered that year's All-Star Weekend, which was his first time participating in the All-Star Game, and Curry passed him an identical ball, and he also passed Curry a lot of balls.
It's time for the Lakers to attack again, Liu Ren takes the ball, and the two people on the inside of the Warriors are already messy, do you want to wrap up?
Green and Gasol both have mid-to-long-range shots, Gasol is okay, he has always had mid-to-long-range shots, and now the shooting range has expanded beyond the three-point line is not particularly surprising, the key is Green, Green has been improving his shooting for two years, and this year it has reached a very good level, the 36 percent shooting rate is quite good, and Green is really fast compared to ordinary power forwards, and although the impact is not as good as Randle, it is still very strong on the inside, Jason Thompson looked at Liu Ren's pass to Gasol just now, and began to worry that letting go of Green would encounter the same embarrassment as Randle.
However, you still have to wrap it!
As a result, Green began to show the skills that made Steve Kerr, who was watching the live broadcast at home, heartbroken, Green scored consecutive points with mid-range shots, and his passing ability was shown if someone made up for it, unlike Randle, who was used to creating opportunities with offensive ability, Green was better at finding gaps for his teammates to run out of on their own.
And the Warriors' offense is mainly in the middle and long distance scoring, no matter how accurate there is no time to score, the Lakers chose to let go of the Warriors' weakest shooting Randle, if it really doesn't work, let go of Randle to make up for others, and the Warriors are slowly hit by the Lakers with a wave of 10-4 scoring shockwaves.
Wharton stood up and scratched his head at this time, the Lakers were tortured to death by the Lakers in the playoffs last year, last year Barnes was let go, and this year Basne was approved, they let go of Randle, and Gasol squatted under the basket, just Randle impacted.
Wharton immediately called a timeout and they needed to adjust their lineup.
On the Lakers' side, when the Warriors called a timeout, D'Antoni used Korver to replace Kobe, the advantage of playing without the ball is high efficiency, but running is also individual work, so Kobe rested when he was a little tired and let Korver top first.
The Warriors replaced Jason Thompson and replaced McAdoo, although McAdoo's skills are not good, but he is still a good substitute, with good physical fitness, not worse than Randle, but his skills are really average, but his defensive awareness is very good.
Timeout back, Warriors possession of the ball.
The Warriors replaced Randle to preside over the ball, playing a combination of inside and outside, Randle went to the outside to hold the ball, Green had to defend it, Randle rushed up to the inside Lakers probably only Whiteside alone could defend it, and it was necessary to start defending from Randle's breakthrough, at this time, Curry, who had been mainly organized, cut into the basket and caused Gasol to foul.
Curry went to the free-throw line and made both free throws.
After the Warriors came back from a timeout, they became Randle's main control, and the efficiency suddenly increased, and the two sides entered a battle of offense.
With Green receiving a pass from Liu Ren and then giving Korver a three-point shot, the first quarter ended with a 27-27 tie!
The scoring efficiency was very high, and this was achieved in the first four minutes without much scoring between the two sides.
The two sides were evenly matched in the first quarter, and D'Antoni chose to speed up the pace in the second quarter.
From the perspective of being a coach, Wharton is indeed more talented than Steve Kerr, although Steve Kerr is also a talented coach, but Wharton is more talented, and it is also the first time to be a head coach, Wharton is better than Steve Kerr last year, even if it is with the tactics left by Steve Kerr, but there are more changes than Steve Kerr, and the Warriors are obviously more varied after Wharton came.
In the second quarter, the two sides began to change their rotation lineups, with the Lakers led by Kobe, who left the game early in the first quarter, led by Antetokounmpo and Whiteside, and the Warriors led by Klay Thompson.
The first moment the Lakers advanced over, they were annoyed by the Warriors' second team's desperate defense, and the Lakers almost made a mistake on the first attack, and finally Antetokounmpo passed the ball to Kobe, who fired from outside the three-point line, which was Kobe's second three-point shot of the game!
The Lakers missed the first attack, the Warriors came over and wanted to attack, and the Lakers' defense was also extremely good.
The Lakers' defense and the Warriors' style are completely different, although the Lakers also pay attention to the package and rotation, but pay more attention to cutting off the passing route and the oppression of the ball holder, sticking to the defense at every turn, very aggressive, even if the Warriors don't make mistakes, they will be uncomfortable to pass, uncomfortable to break, and uncomfortable for a quarter of an hour.
This is all revenge for the Warriors' oppressive defense! The so-called tooth for tooth and eye for eye......
The Warriors are more uncomfortable with this aggressive defense than the Lakers.
Klay Thompson passed the ball to Joey Clark, Joey Clark was a 2012 draft pick that the Warriors poached from the Nuggets, and he had no playing time before, but when he came to a team like the Warriors, he quickly found his own characteristics, that is, empty cuts and three-pointers, like D'Antoni, Popovich, Steve Kerr, Wharton and other systems are definitely a bonus to role players, Joey Clarke's three-point shooting this year is quite accurate.
However, Joey Clarke looked like a mediocre hand today and missed the shot.
Whiteside dominated the rebounding end and grabbed defensive rebounds.
Turning around, Kobe Bryant caught the ball and scored a three-point shot, and entered the regular Kobe Bryant time!
Klay Thompson, the current outside lineman on the Warriors' side, is heavily guarded by Antetokounmpo, Joey Clarke has an inaccurate hand, and now the Warriors' lineup only has Barnes who has the ability to attack with the ball.
In the first quarter, Barnes met a faster than himself, Liu Ren, who was more powerful than himself, Curry didn't give him the ball, he played very depressed, and now he met the aging Kobe, just like seeing a relative, he sat directly in the low post to ask for the ball.
Barnes has a height advantage over Kobe Bryant, as well as a physical advantage over the current Kobe, and Joey Clarke hurriedly passes the ball.
But Barnes just got the ball, Kobe Bryant immediately turned on the mode of educating young people, it seems to be a normal paste, but it is a little tight, and then the leg exerts force, and the knee is directly against the joint behind Barnes's knee, Basne's leg instantly weakened, and he stumbled on the dribble.
Then Kobe Bryant slammed against Barnes and pounced forward, fiercely stealing from behind, and attacking directly from the momentum.
Kobe Bryant ran and led the Warriors to a three-point stop outside the three-point line!
"Huh"
Kobe Bryant made his third consecutive three-pointer of the game!
Kobe Bryant, who has been playing without the ball for a while now, is in excellent shape now, and he is going all out against the Warriors, a team that is now the number one team in the league!
