The Lakers switched to joint defense, while the Warriors insisted on their own style of play, so the game slowly entered a stalemate, the Warriors were still able to shoot those shots that got a chance, and the Lakers, Shaquille O'Neal was a big killer, and the Warriors had no way to limit O'Neal's interior offense.

The game quickly ended in the second quarter, and the Warriors led by 13 points with more than 40 seconds left, but the more sophisticated Lakers took advantage of the remaining game time to have one more offensive opportunity than the Warriors, and finally Kobe Bryant threw in the final halftime whistle shot, and the Warriors' lead became 11 points.

At halftime, the Warriors led the Lakers by 11 points, a result that surprised everyone, and in Hubie Brown's view, it was a challenge from a young coach like Richard Cohan to an old dynasty coach like Phil Jackson.

Richard Cohan is 26 years old this year, and Phil Jackson is 56 years old, which is the oldest coach in the league, the difference between the two is 30 years, and the teams they coach are also different in terms of playing style because of this. The Warriors were bold and energetic, and we remember the quick offense in the first half. And the Lakers are playing more calmly, if you compare with the Warriors, they are a little dull, if they can't work hard in the second half, maybe the Warriors will really be able to upset this game. ”

Hubbie Brown thought that the game was a war between the young and the old, and Richard thought the same, and he was about to go to the locker room to use the theory of "young and old" to stimulate the fighting spirit of the players, but when he left the field, Richard was stopped by several reporters and asked a few unnutritious questions before Richard was able to get out and walk towards the players' tunnel.

Walking into the players' tunnel, Richard found that a person walked in with him, and when he glanced at it, it was actually Phil Jackson!

When he met the opponent's head coach in the players' tunnel, Richard immediately felt a little embarrassed, raised his head and grinned at Phil Jackson, which was regarded as a greeting.

And Phil Jackson also looked at Richard, for the Warriors who caused the Lakers a lot of annoyance today, until now Phil Jackson didn't pay attention to it, he didn't even pay attention to the kindness conveyed by Richard, and after a glance at Richard, he turned around and left.

Richard shrugged his shoulders, and he could only express his helplessness at Phil Jackson's contempt, who made himself an unknown? Richard then pushed the door open and walked into the home team's dressing room.

At halftime, Richard said a lot of words of encouragement, because it was the Warriors who were ahead, so the atmosphere in the home team's locker room was also very good.

It's been almost a month since he joined the team, and the Warriors have changed from a bad state and a weird atmosphere at the beginning to a harmonious family, of course, Richard knows that this harmony is only superficial, and there must be a small circle in private, but looking at all NBA teams, there are not many who can maintain superficial harmony, like the Warriors' opponent Lakers in this game, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have conflicts from time to time.

The atmosphere on the Warriors' side is relaxed, and the Lakers' side is not having a good time, the angry Phil Jackson scolded everyone, including Kobe and O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, who has exploded in various statistics this season, has begun his road to power, but O'Neal is seizing every opportunity and resting when he can, which makes Kobe very dissatisfied.

And in this game, Kobe Bryant believes that if O'Neal was not lazy and unwilling to play in the second quarter, it would not have fallen to such a point, so in Phil Jackson's foaming reprimand, Kobe's dissatisfaction with O'Neal was further deepened.

The second half of the game began in the anticipation of Warriors fans, as soon as the third quarter began, Richard chose to make substitutions, and the previous lineup played the second half of the first quarter and the whole quarter of the second quarter, playing long enough to need a break, so Larry Hughes they got the opportunity to play.

Bob Sula and Larry Hughes partner in the backcourt, and the small forward is veteran Steve Mills, power forward Kenny Thomas, and center Eric Dampier, this lineup can be regarded as a half-main and half-bench.

On the Lakers' side, because of Phil Jackson's anger, none of the main players got off the court, and it seemed that they wanted to get back to the court in the first half.

Richard also did not make substitutions, after all, the Warriors' lineup is also their semi-main lineup, not to mention that they are now leading by 11 points, and there is really no need to make passive substitutions because the Lakers do not change the bench.

But the game did not go as smoothly as Richard imagined, and the Lakers with a full of anger will go all out as soon as they get on the court.

In the first goal of the opening game, the big shark O'Neal was powerful, took the ball with his back, and faced Eric Dampier, who called himself the second center in the West, O'Neal squeezed back a little harder, pushed Eric Dampier away, and then turned around and dunked!

O'Neal almost used all his strength to dunk, the basket swayed, and O'Neal roared when he landed! It seems to be saying: The Lakers' counterattack is coming!

That's right! The Lakers' counterattack is coming!

The Warriors' offense, Larry Hughes shook off Kobe Bryant with the help of blocking and dismantling, and rushed into the interior, but he faced the full force shark......

With a loud "pop", Richard could only see an orange basketball flying out of the crowd, and then heard the on-site commentator shout: "Block, from Shaquille O'Neal." ”

Richard immediately wilted, he was a little strange about Larry Hughes's state, turned around and asked Frank Vogel: "Frank, is there something wrong with Larry Hughes?" ”

Frank Vogel shrugged: "I don't know, but his condition is indeed very poor, inexplicably poor." ”

Just when the two were confused, Del Nigro on the side interjected: "Maybe there is a problem with the mentality." ”

"Something wrong with your mentality?" Richard's eyes lit up suddenly, he just wanted to find Larry Hughes's problem, after all, only by finding the problem can it be solved.

"Well, as far as I know, Larry Hughes is a little dissatisfied with his current team and tactical position, and he played a little negative in the previous games, but in this game, he is not negative at all, but a little too positive." Del Nigro's explanation made Richard nod approvingly.

It's true that Larry Hughes did overdo it in this game, he had to play alone on every ball, and he wanted to express himself on every ball, maybe this is the problem that Larry Hughes has, right? So how can this problem be solved?

Richard looked at Del Nigro again, but Del Nigro smiled: "There is no need to pay attention to this situation, as soon as a few games pass, Larry Hughes will adjust it himself." ”

Richard nodded, he felt that what Del Nigro said was very reasonable, and at the same time he was also interested in Del Nigro, Richard had not paid much attention to Del Nigro before, because Del Nigro could not help him in coaching.

But now, Lee sees that Del Nigro is also helpful to the team, because Del Nigro can get into the players and understand the problems inside the players for Richard.
