Chapter 394: High Blocking
In the first offensive round, the Lakers easily relied on the connection of Sun Dahei and Chris Paul to successfully score a goal, and this offensive round only consumed a little more than five seconds!
……
It's the Warriors' turn to play the offensive round, and the current lineup of the Warriors on the floor: center Zhazapatchuria, power forward Egg Green, small forward Matt Barnes, scoring guard Klay Thompson, and point guard Curry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After losing Sun Dahei, Durant did not play in this game, and the Warriors could only use the usual old tactics and cut without the ball!
Curry controlled the ball, looking for opportunities, Chris Paul stared very closely, he played with Curry a lot, Curry was very experienced in defending Curry, and many hidden small moves all beckoned to Curry.
Curry was annoyed by St. Paul's kraft defense, but he was still patiently holding the ball and looking for offensive opportunities.
The situation on the court is a little unoptimistic for the Warriors, first of all, on the inside side, Zazapachulia wants to make a shot in front of Sun Dahei? That's just a fool's dream, I'm afraid that even if the ball finally reaches Zazapachuria's hands, he will definitely pass it, and he won't be interested in shooting at all.
And Egg Chasing Green was defended by Farid, Farid Half-Orc nickname is not blown out, his body is also extremely strong, 203 cm tall, weight 105 kg, and Egg Chasing Green's physique is basically the same, in terms of strength, against Egg Chase Green is not at all behind, after Egg Chasing Green got the ball on the outside, several attempts to top Farid were unsuccessful, and he could only continue to pass the basketball back to Curry at the top of the arc.
Sun Dahei saw that Chasing Egg Green had failed to hard-top Farid several times, and couldn't help but settle down, although the half-orc Farid was famous, but Dahei didn't know much about his real defensive strength, and now he saw that Farid could not struggle with Chasing Egg Green Hard Steel, and he was immediately relieved.
……
The Lakers' first offensive round caught the Warriors off guard, and in this second offensive round, the two sides began to compete in real hard power.
The Warriors' interior line has no advantage at all in the face of the Lakers' iron gate defense, Zaza needless to say, Sun Dahei can eat to death, Egg Chasing Green has three-point ability, and he can also play with his back, but Farid is not a vegetarian, and he will definitely not let Egg Chase Green play so easily!
Farid is still so young, and he also hopes to play well with the Lakers and sign a big contract extension in the future!
So Farid played extremely hard, trying his best to show his defensive strength on the field.
In the backcourt, Thaddeus Young is also a very strong defensive player, and it is easy to defend Matt Barnes in his twilight years, and in the Warriors' offensive round, he doesn't even have a chance to defend Matt Barnes to connect the ball.
Curry's defense of Paul, of course, he can choose to force a shot, in fact, Curry's shooting speed is extremely fast, and if he forcibly shoots three points, he will generally not be blocked, but it's hard to say what the shooting percentage is, anyway, he definitely doesn't have to run out of the vacancy to shoot three points.
The Warriors' offensive round just took fifteen seconds, and there were nine seconds left, and Curry was not in a hurry, and if he couldn't find a better offensive opportunity in the last two or three seconds, he could force his shot.
Soon, the Warriors' offensive opportunity appeared, Matt Barnes made a block for Klay Thompson who was running without the ball, the young Ingram did not follow, Thaddeus Young did not change the defense in time, Tang Shen took a step back, stood outside the three-point line, and shot directly!
"Huh!" With the ball in and a beautiful three-pointer, Klay Thompson opened up the game for the Warriors.
……
I can't say whose pot this ball is, anyway, it was one of Ingram or Thaddeus Young, and both of them shook their hands in annoyance and scolded "SHIT!" ”……
Especially Thaddeus Young, looking at Sun Dahei with some fear, even though he has now joined the Lakers and become Sun Dahei's teammate, but that shadow has taken root in his heart and lingers...... He had to bear half the blame for that defense just now, and if he could have switched in time, Klay Thompson wouldn't have hit an open three-pointer so easily.
He is really afraid that Sun Dahei will be angry and catch himself and scold, no matter what, now this Lakers team is completely based on Sun Dahei as the absolute core, and Dahei is absolutely qualified to reprimand players who perform badly on the court.
And Ingram looked at Sun Dahei with a guilty face, in the offseason, the two often trained together and had a good relationship, Ingram also knew that Sun Dahei was a very gentle person off the court, so he was just guilty and not afraid.
"Keep your eyes open and cheer up! Didn't wake up? Do you want to let the two of you take a break?! Chris Paul was directly furious, joining the Lakers was his last hope to win the championship, he didn't want to lose the chance to win the championship again because of the drag of his teammates, and when he saw Ingram and Thaddeus Young making mistakes, he immediately reprimanded him angrily.
With Chris Paul's qualifications, he is fully qualified to reprimand Ingram and Thaddeus Young, and the two did not dare to speak up......
"Alright, you two pay attention, Thaddeus Young, you can spare a little energy to help Ingram defend it!" Sun Dahei looked at Chris Paul with a smile, Chris Paul, who is usually approachable, is so angry on the court.
This is the first time that the Lakers' new lineup has teamed up, and a small mistake is inevitable, and Sun Dahei immediately made a slight adjustment to the defense on the court.
Sun Dahei is still very familiar with the tactics of the Warriors, knowing that Matt Barnes' offensive level is average, and when Durant is not on the court, he only needs to "take care" of the Splash Brothers and let their shooting rate drop, and the Lakers can play easier.
"Okay, Big Black Brother!" Ingram and Thaddeus Young said at the same time.
Thaddeus Young is really relieved, just now Chris reserved to reprimand himself, he doesn't have any fear in his heart, the real boss of this team is Sun Dahei, not Chris Paul! What he was really afraid of was Sun Dahei reprimanding himself......
However, Sun Dahei didn't say anything too heavy, just asked the two of them to pay attention......
……
Chris Paul and Sun Dahei looked at each other and smiled, one sang with a white face and the other with a black face, and the tacit understanding was incomparable......
……
In the first offensive round of the Warriors, although they hit a three-pointer, there was no wave in the hearts of the fans at home, and they were able to experience first-hand how terrible the Lakers' current lineup defense is!
It took the Warriors twenty seconds to capitalise on Ingram and Thaddeus Young's mistakes to get a shot, but what if they hadn't made a mistake? The Splash Brothers can only force their shots!
Of course, there is a chance of scoring a goal when you force a shot, especially the combination of shooters like the Splash Brothers, sometimes even if you defend in place, you can't stand the two of you feel good, Curry can take a direct three-point shot outside the three-point line, how do you defend it?
However, under normal circumstances, even if it is the Splash Brothers, the shooting rate of the forced shot is definitely not as good as the empty shot, and the Lakers' first defensive round, if it is not a mistake at the last moment, will definitely force the Splash Brothers to force the shot.
Wharton Jr. saw the Lakers' first defensive round off the court, nodded with satisfaction, and without any specific defensive tactics, the Lakers players on the court were able to force the Warriors to this point, which was enough to make people happy.
Bryant and O'Neal sat together, smiling and bowing their heads and whispering, looking very happy with the Lakers' performance so far.
……
Next is the Lakers' offensive round, and the Warriors have learned the lesson of being caught off guard by the Lakers in the first round, and have already actively returned to defense.
"Hahaha, Dahei, what you have is cool, try our special position to restrain you!" Chasing Egg Green saw Sun Dahei coming to the front, laughed, and said to Sun Dahei.
Specifically restraining your own position? Sun Dahei glanced at it, and saw Egg Chaser Green and Zazapachulia, the two of them blocked outside the reasonable collision area, standing there like wooden stakes......
This position is still very effective in restraining Sun Dahei last season, and many teams used this position tactic against Sun Dahei last season.
The benefits were obvious, as Egg Chaser Green and Zazapachulia were stuck outside the reasonable collision zone like a wall.
Of course, Sun Dahei can bypass the two and run into a reasonable collision area, but in this case, Sun Dahei will not be able to receive a pass from the outside! And if Sun Dahei catches the ball outside the reasonable collision zone, if he wants to attack the basket, he must use his body to squeeze away from Chase Green or Zazapachuria, the two are currently in a fixed position, and if Sun Dahei does this, the referee will definitely blow an offensive foul......
However, the disadvantage is also extremely obvious, that is, it will definitely miss the defense, for example, Farid is now in an unguarded situation......
Before, after some teams used this tactic against Sun Dahei, the reason why it did not become a common tactic to restrain Sun Dahei was that they did not dare to leak defense against the other four giants of the Warriors, these four people all have three-point strength, if they miss defense, if they shoot an empty three-pointer, it will be a great loss.
And now Farid, who is paired with Sun Dahei in the Lakers, obviously has no such offensive threat! Farid's defense is indeed outstanding, but his template is Ben Wallace, and the offense is basically on the same level as Big Ben.
First of all, Farid doesn't have three-point shooting ability, it's not at all......
Secondly, although Farid has some mid-range shooting ability, he can only be regarded as mid-to-low, and he can't get on the table at all, and when he was in the Nuggets, he often couldn't hit the empty shots, or even only hit the rebounds and couldn't touch the basket......
Similarly, Farid's back-to-back singles are not very reliable due to his height...... His real offensive method is the same as Sun Dahei's, relying on secondary attacks......
This is also the reason why the Warriors dare to let go of Farid a little, anyway, as far as Reed makes a move, he must be very close to the basket, and then Chase Green will have a chance to go up and make up for the defense......
If Farid is replaced by Gallinari, then the current court will definitely be completely different, and the Warriors will never dare to restrain Sun Dahei in this way.
……
Magic Johnson was also on the scene, seeing the current scene, what he was most worried about still happened, when he decided to introduce a power forward, Magic Johnson took the current situation into account, so he intended to introduce a big forward with three-point shooting ability......
However, he searched everywhere for a trade, but in the end he didn't find the player he wanted, and only got the half-orc Farid with excellent defense.
It is true that Magic Johnson also knows that the current situation does not mean that Sun Dahei has lost his role, Dahei can compete for offensive rebounds and then carry out a secondary attack!
However, just relying on the second attack, how many points can you get in a game? Originally, the Lakers' current lineup on the court has some shortcomings in offense, and if Sun Dahei can't score freely, the Lakers will play extremely difficult.
"Hehe, Green, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed this time, I'll surprise you later!" Sun Dahei smiled, not worried about the warrior's position at all.
What did you train for three months this offseason? Isn't it to solve the current dilemma?!
However, Sun Dahei is not in a hurry to show off the peerless skills he learned in the offseason, and now Chris Paul is slowly holding the ball on the outside, and it seems that he has the idea of playing one of his own.
The first game of the preseason is not very important, but for the newcomer Chris Paul, it is still very meaningful!
Sun Dahei, the big man, played the first ball, and Chris Paul, the second leader, decided to try it himself.
I saw Chris Paul beckoning to the orc Farid standing outside the paint area, who directly understood what Chris Paul meant, and rushed towards the outside quickly.
The fans at the scene were a little puzzled, just now Faried was in an unguarded state, why didn't a top point guard like Chris Paul pass the ball to the vacant Faried?! Instead called Farid out of the inner line? What the hell is this......
Even the celebrities sitting on the sidelines looked at each other, not knowing what Chris Paul was thinking.
In their impression, Chris Paul is a top point guard who is very calm on the court, and has such a good passing opportunity, with his level, it is absolutely impossible to miss it!
However, everyone's doubts were quickly dispelled, because the orc Farid was already in place.
Faried put his arms together on his chest and stood still on Chris Paul's route, this is to block Chris Paul?!
I saw that St. Paul quickly held the ball and moved sideways to the right side of his body, and Curry, who was following the defense, was blocked by the half-orc Farid to follow the defense route!
Taking advantage of this short moment, St. Paul took a step forward and threw a direct shot!
