Chapter 160: Gambling

The Warriors' goal came from Curry.

The first quarter lasted three minutes and forty-five seconds.

Curry relied on double cover from Bogut and Green on the outside.

Find an opportunity at the top of the arc and hold the ball and shoot straight three-pointers!

Clarkson has stubbornly pursued Curry, but Bogut and Green are like two dams.

Keeping Clarkson's energy in check.

Gives Curry plenty of room to shoot.

After the ball hit, the Warriors finally broke the scoring drought in the opening game.

"Curry hit a three-point shot! Ouch, the Warriors finally scored, this ball was not easy, and finally found the feeling of scoring goals. ”

With Curry hitting, Yang Yi and Ke Fan also seemed to be relieved.

I don't know if these two people bought a ball or something.

In the betting market, the odds for the Lakers to win are very high.

This also shows how optimistic people are about the warriors.

Curry's goal revived Oracle Arena, which had been dormant for a while.

The fans cheered wildly, bringing the decibels here to a peak.

On the sidelines, Byron Scott rarely put pressure on the referee:

"They move the pick-and-roll, move the pick-and-roll!"

The referee yelled at Scott: "It's not obvious, it's not going to blow!" ”

Scott replied: "yes, you haven't blown it for a season. ”

Scott usually sits and watches during games.

He didn't learn from Zen master Jackson sitting meditation pretend.

He's that style, he's calm most of the time.

Also, he didn't really have much motivation during the regular season.

But the playoffs were different, and Scott was passionate from the start.

He knew that he had to put some pressure on the referee.

The Warriors' mobile pick-and-roll has always been there.

This is a foul that can be blown or not blown.

It doesn't matter if the whistle is a little looser.

If the whistle is tighter, there will be a punishment.

The Lakers' offense is still slow and not in a hurry.

Bryant came out to catch the ball, then hit a pull-up jumper.

A very simple and smooth two-point ball, but it cooled down the Oracle.

If Bryant had a good enough touch, such a simple goal would have dealt a devastating blow to the opponent.

So, in the following round, Klay Thompson began to defend Kobe Bryant.

However, Kobe Bryant did not rush to attack on his own.

The team's main point of attack is still focused on Randolph's hands.

"On the Warriors' side, Klay hit a three-pointer! Beautiful, two threes in a row. Ah, on the Lakers' side, in comparison, they still chisel the inside line and give Randolph a low post to eat Green! The hook hand that turned around did not hit, but Wang Shuang ...... Rebounds, how did he get it? ”

Yang Yi saw that Randolph's hook was short.

But Wang Shuang came out from behind and dialed the ball.

Then he jumped twice in a row and controlled the ball.

A nice frontcourt rebound.

After getting the ball, Wang Shuang pretended to hand over the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant also cut to the basket.

But Wang Shuang didn't, but a one-handed toss.

Give it to Clarkson in the bottom corner.

Clarkson catches the ball and makes a three-point shot from the bottom corner.

Hit!

"Clarkson's three! Beautiful, Wang Shuang's pass is really unusual. Two goals in a row, Wang Shuang's unforeseen passing made the Warriors a little unguardable. ”

Ke Fan sighed at Wang Shuang's pass.

And Steve Cole on the sidelines also felt that something was wrong.

The Lakers played extremely steadily, and their tactics were clear and calm.

It seems that he definitely came prepared.

And Kerr's coaching staff, on the other hand, was not very well prepared.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that the players are generally tired.

Before the playoffs began, Kerr gave everyone a day off to let everyone have a good rest.

And Kerr has confidence in the team, not to mention lying down in the first round.

It should be solvable within at least five games.

As a result, the first quarter lasted only five minutes.

Cole was a little worried.

So he called a timeout.

The Warriors called a timeout, and the Lakers are currently leading the Warriors by five points at 11-6. The Warriors had only two players, Curry and Thompson, who each made a three-pointer. It can be seen that the Lakers were in good shape at the beginning. ”

"That's right, the Lakers are really in good shape, but the Warriors are obviously not open yet, haven't warmed up yet, and haven't run!"

In Yang Yi's view, the warriors are not in shape.

And the Lakers ...... The Lakers are just >>

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

It's just a flash in the face.

Anyway, there are too many NBA games, and there will indeed be such a situation.

The strong team is slow to get into the state, while the weak team can play well in the relaxed state at the beginning.

In the back, the strong team entered the game state, and the intensity and speed played.

The weak team will be crushed.

However, such a situation did not occur at least in the first quarter of the two sides.

After the timeout, the Lakers continued to maintain a very solid style of play.

Scott has two aspects that are very targeted.

The first is the scramble for rebounds in the front court.

Wang Shuang, Hibbert, Randolph.

All nested under the basket and scramble for rebounds in the frontcourt.

Because Scott knows.

It's useless to get them to defend with all their might.

The Warriors have the strongest counter-attack league.

These old ones, the tall ones, the slow ones.

Instead of running back to be played by Curry and Thompson, it was like a monkey.

It's better to make the Warriors unable to fight back quickly.

Sure enough, the Lakers' frontcourt rebounding scramble put the Warriors under tremendous pressure to make the basket.

Although Bogut is a pillar of optimism, he can't stand the Lakers' three-high basket and fight hard.

Especially Wang Shuang, he wandered in the three-second zone like a ghost.

He's got a great sense of rebounding and a lot of luck.

In the first quarter, he grabbed three frontcourt rebounds.

Every time he grabbed a rebound in the front court, Wang Shuang himself was not in a hurry to attack.

It's not just about throwing the ball back to the outside line.

Instead, take advantage of the chaos of the Warriors' defense and look for holes in their defense.

Then assist your teammates with precise passes.

His passing is very spiritual and effortless.

Three frontcourt rebounds with three assists.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Warriors by 7 points at 27:20.

The Warriors, who have always been firepowered, scored just 20 points in the first quarter.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Of course, Tencent can't say why.

As soon as the first quarter ended, Van Gundy, who was broadcast live, gave his opinion.

"The Lakers were very well prepared, very adequate. They used their tempo and frontcourt rebounds to slow down the Warriors' rapid offense, dragging them into the quagmire of positional warfare. In positional defense, the Lakers are very aggressive, their defensive strategy is actually very simple, firm one-on-one defense, reduce bag and clamp rotation, they bet, bet that the Warriors' outside state is not satisfactory. I think, from the first quarter, they were right. ”

Curry and Thompson are very dangerous shooters.

But both of them have a flaw in their attack, which is the need for plenty of space.

They have to run non-stop on the pitch and use the team's tactics to find open spaces.

As long as there is a glimmer of space, their three-point cannon will deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

And what the Lakers have to do is not give them that kind of space and always keep someone in front of them.

As for the passing, it was easy to score under the basket and the middle door was wide open...... Whatever.

Could it be that Bogut and Green's layups can kill people?

During the interval, Clarkson sat on the bench sweating profusely.

He played the entire first quarter and was chasing Curry the whole time.

Kobe Bryant defended Thompson, and the old man did his best.

So much so that Bryant only scored 2 points in the first quarter.

He hit that pull-up jumper.

The rest of the Lakers' scoring came from Randolph, Hibbert and Wang.

Wang Shuang scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter.

He's playing at Oracle Arena with ease.

Just like the night he first appeared.

That's where his real NBA career began.

So, how could he be nervous?

"Wang, Clarkson, you won't have much rest, second quarter, stay on the court."

Scott replaces Bryant and brings Tony Allen on the court.

Continue to maintain defensive pressure on the Warriors from the outside.

Inside, Randolph came down to rest.

Green came on and Hibbert remained on the court.

Don't talk about anything else, the basket is hard enough to grab the frontcourt rebounds.

Although he couldn't grab it, with him, Wang Shuang would be taken care of a lot less.

It would have been easier for him to grab the rebounds in the frontcourt.

As for the Warriors, Kerr still maintains the long rotation of the regular season.

Curry and the rest of the main team went down to rest.

The Warriors have that confidence, and their bench is deep enough.

And what about the Lakers? Although the lead is 7 points.

But Scott knew that 7 points was just a matter of a minute.
