Chapter 17: Facing Nash's Zijin

Winning two games in a row may not be informative enough. Because the Spurs team that won was old and did not have the main force, and the players did not pay much attention to the game.

In contrast, people may be more determined, and the next game between the Warriors and the Lakers is more referential in terms of fame and strength. The Lakers have made it clear that Kobe Bryant and Nash will selectively participate in the preseason, which is also to run in the team's lineup, after all, Nash has only recently joined, and it is still unknown whether he can have good chemistry with the Lakers.

Lin Fei may be the player that Kobe Bryant admires the most in the league today, and Kobe Bryant may also be one of the players that Lin Fei respects the most. But now, the main players of these two teams will not appear in the preseason, and the Lakers have the twin towers of Nash and the inside, presumably to make the two-time MVP winner better adapt to the current team's system.

When asked if Nash faced his former head coach D'Antoni, Nash's answer was interesting.

"I've enjoyed that time we've had, but now we're all in charge, we all want to win, I want a championship ring, and he's fighting for that, but after all, there's only one championship and I think we're all going to fight for it."

If Nash is in the Warriors, it can be said that he is like a fish in water, and such a Warriors team will definitely be even crazier than the Suns back then. However, this may also be the expectation, the Warriors are now spending a lot of money to keep Curry, and Curry is definitely playing a role as a substitute in the team, because there are Lin Fei and Keynes in the team, such a combination, except for injuries, there is almost no other reason to break up, of course, as long as it is a head coach, he may be reluctant to break up such a luxurious combination. But since a budget-conscious management team like the Warriors is willing to leave a substitute for tens of millions, it shows that this substitute is definitely strong. Undoubtedly, for such a preseason game, the biggest attraction may be how the Lakers led by Nash will compete against a team like the Warriors.

Because of the lessons learned from the Spurs, the media is generally bearish on the Lakers for the next two games. In addition, because it is a preseason game, Nash's playing time must be limited, so I feel that the Lakers' hope of victory is not very great.

Had to think about it a little. That is Nash's familiarity with D'Antoni, as a former ace player under D'Antoni, Nash can be said to know D'Antoni's tactics well. If the Warriors follow D'Antoni's line, it could be easy for Nash to crack D'Antoni's team.

But is that really the way the game is?

The game started with the Warriors taking the lead. Even in the face of superstar-level figures such as Nash and the Lakers' interior twin towers, this group of characters of the Warriors has never had any fears, and they are still the punches that the Warriors are good at.

The head coach of the Lakers at the moment is Brown. Such a head coach is a head coach who likes to emphasize defense, although many times, this coach is criticized for not being able to control the team's big names, whether it is James when he coached the Cavaliers, or Kobe Bryant when he coached the Lakers, he almost always allowed those superstar players to be free to dispatch and play. But this often leads to a defeat for the team. But at this moment, Brown has an ace like Nash under his hands, at least he is not worried on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, in the face of the Warriors' style of play, he can't find the slightest way to crack it.

The Warriors relied on their tireless running. The single quarter also led the Lakers by 10 points, of course, this score is a lot better than the Spurs, but don't forget, the Lakers sent all the main players except Kobe Bryant for such a preseason, and when they faced the Warriors, they had an absolute advantage on the inside, and they even gave the Warriors a 10-point lead in a single quarter. Perhaps the most likely reason is that the Lakers still can't adapt to the rhythm of the Warriors. It's no wonder that when the Warriors attacked, no team in the league could defend, even without Lin Fei, with the impact of the trident like Keynes, Jobs and Aix that the Warriors had, few people in the league could match. The frantic score of 42:32 between the two teams may also be telling. …,

Because Brown already knew about the Warriors, and D'Antoni at this time obviously had a certain understanding of the Lakers, so the two teams didn't seem to have anyone to compete seriously, so they all replaced their main players. You must know that in fact, the Lakers' bench lineup is also built with a lot of money, at least the book value is only that. But when people see the bench lineups of the two teams face off, they are directly dumbfounded, and it looks more like a battle between a professional team and an amateur team.

What remains the same on the Warriors' bench lineup on the court is their impact, making people wonder if this is the Warriors' bench lineup at all. On the other hand, the Lakers' heavily built bench lineup, under the impact of the Warriors, was directly hit by chaos.

In the second half, Brown had no choice but to replace his own bench lineup and replace his main lineup to support the scene. And there is no need for the Warriors to switch back to the main lineup.

At this moment, almost everyone is wondering, is this D'Antoni's Warriors? It's not like that! This is more like Nielsen's Warriors, when the emphasis is usually on the team's offense, the emphasis is on a balanced offense, and the team does not even separate the main lineup and the bench lineup in order to maintain continuous impact. And isn't that what D'Antoni is doing now?

That's right! That's it! This also shows that D'Antoni's mind is definitely not in vain.

Dean learned a truth from Nelson's balanced offense. That is, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Even if a team's offense needs a top superstar to control, but you must not pin all your hopes on him, if you can balance the hope and offensive opportunities, wouldn't it be a little bigger, especially when your strength exceeds your opponent, as long as you are any of your own attack points, you can win.

It has to be said that D'Antoni is comprehending Nelson's tactics according to his own thinking, and he is also comprehending the oriental culture that has been deeply rooted in Nelson's heart. Although there may be a big gap in this way, from the perspective of the basketball court, whether it is the East or Hope, whether it is in the past or now, there are some things that can be the same? For example, defense, shooting skills, etc.,

D'Antoni is a smart coach after all. But it may still be a big unknown whether he will be able to get some of Nelson's skills as a whole.
