567. Time Bomb for Warriors

After the opening, the Warriors took advantage of the mobility of the small lineup, as well as the flexibility of the small lineup on the defensive end, to surprise the Lakers, and D'Antoni wanted to take a closer look at how the Warriors would play, and did not make any changes, or ...... For a while, I can't think of a way to deal with it!

14-6, the Warriors opened the game with a 14-6 lead over the Lakers by 8 points. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Liu Ren has 4 points, or Kobe Bryant got it one-on-one singles.

Half of Yang Yi's face was swollen in an instant, and he was also helpless! He's really desperate!

Just now I said that the Warriors' lineup has no effect on the Lakers at all, but who knew that this time it was the Warriors' turn to give him big-eared melon seeds, played a pretty beautiful start, and beat the Lakers by surprise with this never-before-seen lineup.

"Ahaha, I really didn't expect it," Yang Yi smiled dryly to hide his embarrassment, "I originally guessed that the Warriors' lineup might play a good effect, but the overall strength of the Lakers is too strong, so I think the Warriors may be under pressure and unable to show their true strength, now it seems that the Warriors have indeed withstood the pressure and played their advantages, D'Antoni is not a master of on-the-spot command, I think the Warriors have a good chance of winning this game......"

Grass on the wall! Yang Yi decisively changed his tune......

Kobe Bryant scored 4 points in two of the 3 shots at the beginning, and Kobe Bryant, who is fully healthy this year and doesn't have to worry about knee, ankle, and shoulder problems, is no worse than last year in terms of condition, and even because he doesn't have to worry too much, he is more powerful than last year when he is one-on-one singles, and he is quite strong when he is physically sufficient.

After seeing that Bryant showed his excellent form, D'Antoni replaced him with McCollum.

The current lineup of the Lakers on the court is Clarkson, McCollum, Liu Ren, Green, and Gasol.

The Warriors didn't make a rotation and continued to play with a five-man lineup.

Lakers offense.

After Liu Ren arrived at the frontcourt, he was surprised to find that Gasol actually ran outside the three-point line in the bottom corner and squatted.

Gasol thought to himself, can't he hide if he can't be provoked......

Liu Ren thought of the new skill that Gasol had developed during training, and immediately had a plan, and then ran to the low position.

Clarkson's pass came immediately, and Liu Ren singled Thompson in the low post!

Jason Thompson on the inside didn't chase Gasol, but squatted on the inside, ready to block Liu Ren's strong inside shots.

Liu Ren's strong inside play barely entered the Warriors' defensive focus, the key is that the power is indeed too strong, almost any outside line can be forced in, most of the inside line can't be blocked, if you don't send someone to help defend, maybe you will be forcibly deducted.

However, after Liu Ren received the ball and attracted the attention of the two, he quickly threw it into the corner, and Gasol received the ball and adjusted it to shoot three points!

Yes, standing shots, Gasol's shots are actually just a cushion most of the time, and they basically don't jump.

"Huh"

Gasol hits a three-point shot!

Gasol unlocks a new scoring stance - the three-point shot!

Originally, Gasol's mid-range shooting was good, and he had been practicing three points last season, but he was just average, and the occasional shooting was okay, but he never gave up on this, in order to keep himself competitive after his age, he has been practicing three points hard, and finally has a certain accuracy at the beginning of the new season! This big vacancy decisive hit.

The offensive end found a way, but the Lakers still couldn't stop the Warriors on the defensive end, and Thompson got another open opportunity and hit another three-point shot.

At 17-9, the Warriors continued to maintain an eight-point advantage.

It's the Lakers offense again, and this time the profits are still sitting in the low post.

The two Thompsons made eye contact and decided that Jason Thompson was blocking Liu Ren on the inside, and Klay Thompson was going to defend Gasol's three-pointer.

I have to say that some talented players are still very flexible when they become big fat men, and in the one-acre three-point area of the interior line, Jason Thompson can really block the opponent by squatting on the edge of the reasonable collision zone.

It's really difficult to deal with this kind of fat man to crash into, just like Dior, fat, heavy and flexible, he really wants the center to defend the opponent, and the opponent really doesn't have much way.

If Liu Ren wants to withdraw a mid-range shot, the other Thompson is already ready to block it, and Randle, who is defending Green near the free throw line, is also ready to come over to help defend at any time.

Liu Ren fell to the low post, and the Warriors forced him to attack in the low post.

This defense is much stronger than last season!

D'Antoni looked at Wharton again, and Wharton continued to feign a cough and pretend not to notice D'Antoni's gaze at him.

However, D'Antoni immediately smiled, is Liu Ren really the rookie who plays in the back in addition to the two low-post plays of the inside strong dunk and the lame turn-and-play board throw?

So, in Jason Thompson's stunned eyes, Liu Ren blocked Jason Thompson's action with one hand that he wanted to pounce on, and turned around on the spot with his right hand to the arc of the reasonable collision area, and the ball fell into the basket lightly.

Little Sky Hook!

It's actually a small sky hook!

The fans were boiling in an instant!

This style of play is really not very ornamental, and it looks soft, so it is not welcomed by the players who are now physically strong, and it has slowly disappeared from the league.

Lakers fans who have had the most powerful Skyhook in history will never forget this offensive method, although fans of other teams think that Skyhook is powerful, but they don't like their own players to use this trick, and they really have no momentum.

But the effect is really good!

Don't be disturbed at all, as long as you hook it accurately, you can enter!

And Liu Ren and O'Neal learned that the small hook shot point is close to the basket, as long as no one is from the side or back bread clip, it is really difficult not to enter!

And the Warriors pass the ball as long as they wrap Liu Ren, which is simple and rude.

On the Lakers' side, under the instigation of Liu Ren, there is no problem on the offensive end, but there is still a little trouble on the defensive end, and the Warriors' five-small lineup is really a headache.

The two sides began to fight each other, and by the eighth minute of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Lakers by five points at 24-19, and both sides scored efficiently.

In the preseason, D'Antoni on the Lakers side of the rotation lineup went up and down five directly, and LaVine, Nick Young, Ci Shiping, Monroe, and Bi Yongbo played.

The Warriors sent Livingston, Iguodala, Barnes, McAdoo and Bogut on their side.

The Warriors' lineup is Barnes' leading scorer.

The weakest link in the Warriors' starting line is Barnes, who is actually better at playing with the ball, but the Warriors can't let him have too many opportunities with the ball, so they can only give him more playing time to practice without the ball.

However, after so many years, the results have been mediocre, especially this year, when Barnes is in the contract year, it seems that he has not much interest in staying with the Warriors, and his shooting has become casual.

It stands to reason that the Warriors' rotation lineup should not suffer a loss, but instead have a little advantage, but Barnes, who is very weird, began to shoot frantically and continuously hit the iron......

When Liu Ren saw Barnes, he instantly remembered that Barnes played very badly in the 2015-2016 season in that time and space in his previous life! The shooting rate reached a new career low, not to mention three-point shooting, and there were often cases where 1-of-8 or 1-of-9 shots in a single game still kept shooting.

At that time, some people analyzed that Barnes was about to expire as a rookie and wanted to brush up on the data to get a big contract, but he really couldn't shoot without the ball, and this kind of catching and shooting style of play regardless of whether there was a chance or not was too inefficient, resulting in a small increase in scoring, but the three-point shooting rate dropped from 40 percent in the 14-15 season to 32 percent.

Now Barnes actually shot 1 of 5 in the last four minutes of the first quarter, which made Liu Ren more sure of this, if you want to beat the Warriors, you have to start with Barnes!

Thinking of this, Liu Ren came to D'Antoni and Bickerstaff.

"Coach, I think there's a way to deal with the Warriors' five-man lineup."

"Huh?" D'Antoni was worried that he couldn't help it, and the old bird Bickerstaff had that non-caring expression, and D'Antoni was really embarrassed to beg people for a preseason game.

D'Antoni is still very interested in the little cleverness that Liu Ren pops up from time to time.

"Barnes!" Liu Ren pointed to Barnes, who continued to catch the ball on the field, "We definitely have an advantage in the bench, even if they put Bogut on the bench, we also have an advantage, mainly because of their starters, and I think there is a time bomb in their starters!" ”

"How?" Hearing this, Bickerstaff was very curious, and he didn't think of any particularly good solution, this Warriors team is really powerful, especially their starting lineup is almost invincible, and it feels stronger than last season's Trail Blazers starters, mainly on the defensive end than that Trail Blazers.

The Warriors' starters in the 15-16 season are really powerful, and Liu Ren also admitted that although Green has become Randle, Liu Ren remembers that the Warriors have almost no opponents in the regular season this season, and no one can think of a way to deal with them, otherwise they will not get more than 70 wins.

If there was a way to deal with their starters, it would have spread a long time ago, so when they did see the Warriors' new lineup and new style of play, D'Antoni and Bickerstaff were anxious, and they couldn't even find an entry point on how to deal with them.

In Bickerstaff's view, Barnes did have some problems today, but it was just a bad hand, the Warriors were originally the kind of team that shot when they had the opportunity, and it was normal to have a bad hand occasionally.

"Bernie, you may not have noticed, Barnes is a contract year this year......

……

……

Steve Cole's side also saw from the completely different performance of Barnes in the previous preseason games, Barnes was worried about his future, so he began to play blindly regardless of it.

But Barnes is an essential part of the Warriors, and without him, the Warriors don't have a qualified starter at the small forward position.

Iguodala?

Iguodala pretended to be dead in the regular season, and his height is only 1.98 meters, he is already a small lineup, and if he is put on the small forward, the rebounds will be completely gone, and if Iguodala does not lead the second lineup, Steve Kerr is not at ease at all.

After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers continued to rotate, changing the lineup of Antetokounmpo, McCollum, Korver, Antetokounmpo, and Black.

The Warriors replaced Barnes with Brandon Rush, a three-point and defensive swingman.

Steve Kerr began to be jealous again when he saw the wanton rotation on the Lakers' side, there were only so many people on his side who could fight, and the Lakers looked at him with a straight eye.

After Barnes went on a 1-of-5 shot, the Lakers quickly overtook the score, and by the middle of the second quarter, the Lakers had taken the lead to 46-41 and a five-point lead.

Because the Warriors were in the first quarter, they had been steadily suppressing the Lakers, which gave Yang Yi great confidence.

So Yang Yi began to wave again, and said sourly: "The Lakers can lead all thanks to the second team, they stepped on the shit luck to sign Monroe and Biyombo in the summer without spending any cost, originally their lineup was strong enough, this is simply a trick, look, the Warriors can chase the score back as soon as they start the game." ”

As Yang Yi wished, both the Lakers and the Warriors exchanged the main forces back in the second half of the second quarter.

The Warriors continued to die five small, with Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Jason Thompson, and Randle on the court.

There was a bit of a change on the Lakers' side, with Kobe Bryant continuing to rest, and Clarkson, Antetokounmpo, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside playing.

"The Lakers don't have a small lineup? I see that they are finished, although Bai Bian is so agile, he is such a big man after all......" Yang Yi became more and more energetic the more he said......
