I saw that in the offensive round of the Warriors, after Curry held the ball, before he passed the half, Chris Paul immediately stepped forward to press the defense......

The Lakers' tactics are clear, and while their offensive tempo is reduced, they must also pull the Warriors' offensive tempo into the water......

After all, St. Paul is the player who has been in the best defensive team, and despite his age, he can still do the simple thing of blocking Curry's advancement. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Warriors also know that if they play at a slow pace with the Lakers, it is tantamount to chronic suicide, and they also want to raise the speed, but they just can't......

Not only did Chris Paul press Curry all over the court, but the rest of the Lakers team members were all close defense, and sometimes, even at the cost of a foul, the Warriors were never allowed to raise their tempo......

The reason why Wharton Jr. is so desperate to lower the pace of the game is not without reason!

The first is the style of the Warriors, the reason why the Warriors average a lot of points per game is that they have a fast pace of offense, which also leads to more offensive rounds, and the second reason is that they shoot more three-pointers......

That's why the Warriors are averaging so many points per game! As for the offensive shooting percentage, in fact, the Warriors' shooting percentage can rank among the top five in the NBA league this season, but it is not as good as the Lakers.

The Lakers have the BUG of Sun Dahei, and the three-point shooting rate of the whole team may be a little pitted, but the two-point shooting rate is really scary, at least six or seven percentage points more than the Warriors!

Wharton Jr. also studied it carefully, with the current situation of the Warriors, the only weapon they can take the Lakers is three points!

If the Warriors and the Lakers play two points, then the Warriors will lose and forget their last name, of course Kerr will not make such a mistake, he also knows this truth!

As we all know, removing some unexpected factors such as 2+1 or 3+1, hitting a three-point in an offensive round is a 50% increase in offensive efficiency compared to hitting a two-point shot!

If the Warriors have a good three-point feel in this game, the more offensive rounds there are, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Lakers, after all, three-point shooting is not actually the Lakers' strong point......

The simplest arithmetic, take the theoretical value to calculate!

Based on 100 offensive rounds, the Warriors hit 3-pointers in 50 offensive rounds, so their score is 150.

According to the Lakers' two-point shooting rate, the two-point shooting rate of the entire Lakers team cannot reach 70% on average, so that the Lakers will get 140 points in these 100 offensive rounds, calculated according to the 70% shooting rate......

One hundred and fifty points and one hundred and forty points, of course, it is the Lakers who lose!

And if you follow Wharton Jr.'s tactics and reduce the offensive tempo, both sides will play 70 offensive rounds in a game.

The Warriors' three-point shooting rate is still 50%, and they can score 100 and 5 points in these 70 offensive rounds!

And the Lakers will score close to 100 points in these 70 offensive rounds, according to the 70% two-point shooting rate!

It seems that the Lakers still score less than the Warriors, and the final winner is still the Warriors!

But don't forget, the Lakers can't shoot a three-point shot in the whole game, with the existence of Sun Dahei, a perverted rebounding monster, the Lakers can try as many three-point shots as possible, even if the shot misses, Sun Dahei still has a great chance to make up for the second offense......

This means that the Lakers only need to hit more than five three-pointers to tie the Warriors' score, and when the number of three-pointers hits reaches about 10, the Lakers have basically established the victory!

Of course, this calculation is in the case of the Warriors' three-point courage and reaching a shooting rate of about 50 percent......

In fact, even a team like the Warriors has a difficult time shooting percentage of about 50% from three-point range!

Wharton Jr.'s tactic is based on the assumption that the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage remains high!

If the Warriors' three-point shooting rate is not high, or even as long as it is under 45, the Lakers can completely win the Warriors without blood, and it will not be troublesome at all......

……

Under the tactics of Wharton Jr., the Warriors' players are playing very uncomfortable, and the current rhythm is not the rhythm of the game they are good at at all......

Warriors fans who watched the game began to angrily scold Wharton Jr. for being shameless, and the two strongest attacking teams in the league at the end of the game actually played like this......

The scene on the court was very similar to the constipation battle series played by the Spurs and Pistons in the Finals......

The audience must like to watch that kind of hearty battle against the bombardment, otherwise the constipation battle of the Spurs and Pistons would not have set a new low in ratings, and few fans like that kind of suffocating defensive battle......

It's understandable that the Spurs and Pistons played that kind of constipated game, after all, that's how these two teams started, and that's their character......

The Warriors and Lakers, these two teams are definitely the most offensive teams this season, the difference is that one is good at fast breaking, and the other is good at positional shooting......

It stands to reason that when these two teams meet together, they should immediately collide with a spark of passion and immediately bang against each other, which is why fans are paying attention to this game......

But the situation on the court is not like this at all, and the defensive intensity of this game is not much worse than that of the Spurs and Pistons in the finals......

Don't forget, in addition to Chris Paul, there is also a Tony Allen in the Lakers backcourt, who has also entered the best defensive team!

St. Paul and Tony Allen, it is impossible to completely limit Curry and Townsend, but it is relatively easy to lower the offensive rhythm of the Warriors' backcourt!

Admittedly, these two are not young, and such a high-intensity defense is not a small physical drain for them, and it is impossible for them to be on the court to defend the Warriors' backcourt all the time......

But, let's not forget, which is the strongest defensive team in the regular season this season, the Lakers, and indisputably the Lakers!

In addition to these two veterans, the defense of people like Lance Stephenson and Josh Jackson is also the first-class level in the league, and even Ingram has improved significantly in terms of body and defensive awareness after the baptism of the regular season this season.

In this case, unless the Warriors completely give up on the shooting rate and start to really shoot and bird, they will inevitably have to slow down the offensive rhythm to ensure that they can hit every shot!
