Judging from the situation in the first quarter of the game, the tactics formulated by Wharton Jr. specifically for the Warriors worked out very well, and the Warriors only scored 20 points in the entire first quarter of the game!

Only 20 points in a single quarter is an extremely rare thing for the Warriors!

It's just that the most important reason why the Warriors scored less in the first quarter of the game was that the pace of the game was slow, their offensive rounds were few, and as for the offensive shooting percentage, the Warriors kept it at a good level. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the Warriors scored low, the Lakers' score was not necessarily high, and they only scored 23 points in the first quarter of the game!

This season, the Warriors team averaged 119 points per game, and after last season's run-in, the power of the Big Four is even more terrifying, and the offensive end is full of firepower, with an average of nearly 40 points per game!

And in today's game, they only scored 20 points in the first quarter of the game, and I have to say that the Lakers will play extremely well in Wharton's tactics!

On the other hand, the Lakers, due to the 31 games that Sun Dahei missed, currently rank second in the league in terms of points per game, with an average of only 115 points per game, about four points less than the Warriors.

It's just that this is the Lakers' average points per game statistics throughout the season, if you only count the games in which Sun Dahei appeared, the Lakers' average points per game are not inferior to the Warriors at all, and they can even break the average of 120 points per game!

In today's game, Sun Dahei also appeared, but the Lakers still only scored a measly 23 points in the first quarter, which is obviously not far from their usual average points per game......

It can be said that Wharton's tactic is a typical one thousand kills and eight hundred self-inflicted injuries......

In the case of limiting the Warriors' ability to score more points, it is difficult for the Lakers to score high points with such a slow offensive tempo......

……

This kind of super constipation battle, although there are many fans of the Lakers and Warriors, but after watching the first quarter of the game, many fans have switched to the stage......

Generally speaking, fans who like basketball like basketball like basketball kind of high-paced goals!

The reason why the early NBA was not so conspicuous in the North American sports leagues was that they played too ink, and there was no 24-second violation in the NBA at that time, which means that in an offensive round, as long as the offensive team can ensure that there are no mistakes, they can keep the ball on their side as long as they can until they find the best offensive opportunity......

In this case, a game of 30 or 40 points is simply not too much to happen......

Is this kind of basketball still interesting? It can be said that if you pull out a top point guard in the NBA at random, in that ancient wilderness era, as long as there is no joint defense, these top point guards can control the game from the beginning to the end of the game......

This is one of the reasons why the NBA was not very popular at that time, and later after the NBA introduced the 24-second offensive violation, the pace of the game really increased, the competitiveness was raised several notches, and basketball looked better and better......

It can be said that if there were no 24-second rule, the NBA league would still be a minor league with little reputation......

In the history of the rise of the NBA, the rule of 24 seconds has played a pivotal role!

……

The current game between the Lakers and the Warriors has the feeling of returning to ancient times......

The offensive tempo of the whole game was extremely slow, and the audience did not see any offensive rounds in the entire first quarter of the game that ended in less than ten seconds......

Such a game is not very hardcore fans, and naturally there is not much interest, otherwise the finals of the Spurs and Pistons would not have set a record for the lowest ratings......

Sun Dahei played eight minutes in the first quarter and only scored 10 points, which is almost the lowest game since Sun Dahei joined the Lakers.

However, Sun Dahei was extremely happy, and after only eight minutes of his appearance in the first quarter, the Lakers were still able to maintain the lead in the face of the Big Four, which is undoubtedly a very gratifying situation.

The Warriors can be said to be the Lakers' biggest opponent in this year's playoffs, and Sun Dahei was ready to fight for the whole game, and the Lakers couldn't afford to lose this game!

It's just that seeing that the situation on the field has stabilized, and Wharton Jr. has let himself rest, Sun Dahei nodded and agreed!

Sun Dahei on the Lakers' side only played eight minutes, and the Big Four on the Warriors' side didn't play very long......

Maintaining the top spot in the Western Conference is of course very important to the Warriors, but the Warriors' Big Four seem to have been cursed because of their too bugs......

As soon as the playoffs come to an end, the Warriors' main players are prone to injury, and Durant didn't return until the Western Conference Finals last season......

Therefore, at the moment, Kerr does not dare to let the main players work too hard, and the playoffs are less than two weeks away, in case one of the Big Four drops the chain at this critical moment, then Kerr will have to scold the fans to death......

If at the beginning of the season, the Warriors meet the Lakers led by Sun Dahei, then Kerr has the courage to play with the main lineup, even if he is injured, it is not a big deal, after all, there are still a few months before the playoffs......

And at this critical moment, Cole has to be careful.

With the balance of winning this game and keeping his players healthy, Kerr is now a big head!

In the end, Kerr decided to see how the game went, and this game was also crucial for the Warriors, but not as hungry for victory as the Lakers!

This season, the Warriors have beaten the Lakers twice, even if the Warriors lose this game, they have another game against the Lakers next, as long as the Warriors win that game, the Lakers and the Warriors will have exactly the same record at that time, and at the same time reach a 65-17 record!

It's just that because the Warriors have a record of three wins and one loss against the Lakers this season, with this winning advantage, they are still in the first place in the West!

Therefore, this game and the next game, the Warriors only need to win one game desperately to maintain their first place in the West, and in this regard, the pressure on Kerr is much less than that of Wharton Jr.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors trailed by three points, and if the Lakers can continue to expand this advantage in the next two quarters, then Cole will simply give up the fight and leave hope for the next game against the Lakers!
