Bryant scored just four points in the first half, and he only took three shots.

2-of-3 shooting, no free throws.

Under such circumstances, the Lakers were able to maintain their lead in the first half.

Then in the second half, when the Warriors were about to catch up on the points.

Bryant stepped up, and in about three minutes.

It's like going back to his prime.

Reopen the gap with his insoluble mid-range.

The Warriors' comeback was unusually short-lived.

"Kobe Bryant scored 9 points in a row! 4 of 5 shots, Kobe Bryant, dream back to the top! This old man threw in the first half, just to prepare for the second half. ”

Bryant was on fire and scored in a row.

The Lakers reopened the gap.

The Lakers' tactics are simple.

It is the blocking and dismantling cover cooperation between Kobe and Wang Shuang.

Kobe Bryant was not a pick-and-roll player in his prime.

For a super attacker like him.

Pick-and-roll is sometimes not just not helpful.

Instead, it would be a burden.

Because the dismantling will bring the bag clip.

If the ball is not good.

This pick-and-roll is equivalent to an ineffective offense.

For Kobe, even if he doesn't block and dismantle, there are people who will pack it.

It's nice to have the opportunity to be one-on-one.

This season is different, and Wang Shuang's blocking and dismantling has become Kobe's most commonly used tactical routine.

This is also the trend of the alliance.

The space available to perimeter players is getting more and more relaxed.

The benefits of the pick-and-roll are getting bigger and bigger.

In the years when Kobe Bryant was just entering the league.

The vast majority of teams start with a low-post ball.

Because the outside players were interfered with by Handcheck.

And not having that strong three-point ability, the pick-and-roll can't create much space.

Fans have been talking about what Utah twins are – Marlon Stockton's pick-and-roll.

That's mostly in the regular season.

When it comes to the playoffs, especially the Finals.

The two of them have little coordination with each other.

Malone is the most efficient tactic to attack the basket with the ball in the low post.

The Warriors, for their part, are watching the margin reopen.

Steve Kerr called a timeout.

If Curry is here, he'll trust the players to find their groove.

In Curry's absence, the Warriors have no backbone.

A wave of charged attacks didn't turn the tide.

Instead, it turned the Lakers back on.

This made Kerr and the Warriors players a little anxious.

Kerr called a timeout, and the Lakers withstood the Warriors' third-quarter comeback momentum. For the Warriors, the absence of Curry does have a big impact. ”

Ke Fan's voice revealed worry.

"Curry is probably not going to return for this game. As for whether the series will return, it depends on the direction of the series. If the Warriors can easily deal with the Lakers, I think Curry will have a good rest and prepare for the next round. If the Lakers are not easy to deal with, then Curry ......"

"As things stand, the Lakers are really hard to deal with."

The Lakers are really hard to deal with.

Cole realized this.

Actually, during the regular season.

Kerr felt that it was a little difficult to beat the Lakers.

Because the Lakers' style is different from other teams.

The Lakers are an "old team," not just old age.

And in terms of tactical style, the Lakers tend to be old-school.

The Warriors are really a little uncomfortable playing the Lakers.

I didn't think the Lakers would make the playoffs.

Who knows......

"We have to be more aggressive, we have to be quick, we need speed! There is also defense, backcourt rebounding must be protected, definitely! ”

Kerr repeatedly emphasized speed and defensive rebounding.

It's the lifeblood of the Warriors' offense, or any team's offense.

Missing those three-pointers who were on the counter.

The Warriors' offensive power will be greatly discounted.

There's no Curry anymore.

Positional warfare, will it fall into a quagmire war?

Cole also made personnel changes.

Replaced Bogut with Iguodala.

Played a small lineup.

&n-->>

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

bsp; In response, the Lakers also replaced Hibbert.

Replaced by Green, and Iguodala was on the same page.

When it comes to playing a small lineup, the Lakers are not afraid.

Without Curry, the Warriors' outside threat is much lower.

The Lakers began to shrink their defense, no longer expanding it as much.

At the same time, once Klay Thompson has the ball, he starts to wrap him.

Kobe Bryant is the main defense, and the others are responsible for the grab.

The upper robbery is not really a robbery, but a strong interference.

Once the interference takes effect, it makes Clay uncomfortable with the ball.

The disrupter immediately returns to the original counterpart.

Because the Lakers don't do rotation.

Therefore, it is all the principle of proximity.

Whoever gets close to the ball carrier will go up and interfere.

The so-called harassment war, leave immediately after harassment.

On the premise of not missing their own defenders.

Clayburn is not known for attacking with the ball.

His off-the-ball and catch-and-catch shots are the best.

The situation now is that as soon as he receives the ball, the Warriors' offense comes to a standstill.

His holding and play-out pauses caused the Warriors to not play a smooth offense.

The problem can only be solved by relying on the individual ability of the players.

Iguodala singles with the ball.

Barnes singles with the ball.

And Green with the ball and rushing inside......

The Warriors' deadliest thing is nothing but three-point shooting.

In fact, what is even more lethal is the easy-ball that they play through the combination of passing and cutting.

Three-point shots, under the basket, are the two most efficient scoring areas.

The Warriors are the best team to put this theory together.

But without Curry, more than half of it collapsed.

In the third quarter, the main team of the Lakers basically did not rest much.

played the third quarter and held the score difference firmly.

It remained above 5 points.

Wang Shuang sweated like pulp.

He scored just four points in the third quarter.

But grabbed 3 frontcourt rebounds.

and made 2 blocks under the basket.

He expends a lot of energy on the defensive end.

Fight Green, Barnes, and Speight.

His strong body found its place in the playoffs.

The Lakers' backcourt rebounds were firmly controlled by him and Randolph.

Conversely, the Warriors lost more than just points because of the loss of rebounds in the frontcourt.

There are also valuable opportunities to fight back.

"Clay holds the ball, packs...... Wrong pass! The Lakers' defensive pressing was very tight, which directly led to Klay's turnover. ”

Towards the end of the third quarter.

Klay Thompson remains on the court.

Kerr, who previously insisted on an 11-man rotation.

Now I don't dare to do that.

As a result, Thomps' breakthrough was a mistake.

A pass to Green in the middle is cut off.

It was none other than Wang Shuang who broke the ball!

He accurately predicted Thompson's passing route.

After the break, he passed the ball to the fast Green.

Green faces Iguodala's pursuit.

Powerful one-handed slash to get it!

Green's earth-shattering dunk.

It was a very successful end to the third quarter of the Lakers.

They finished 81-75, six points ahead of the Warriors.

They withstood the counterattack of the "brave three crazy".

Maintained the lead.

Wang doubles the third quarter.

During the interval, he sat on the bench with his butt on his shoulder.

Sweat soaked all his hair and stuck to the door of his head.

He gulped down the water to replenish the lost water.

Scott asked, "Is it all right, King?" ”

In the third quarter, Wang Shuang's performance was crucial.

He scored very little, but he gave the team a huge support in defense, rebounding, and playmaking.

Without him, the Lakers simply wouldn't be able to survive this section.

Wang Shuang nodded and said, "No problem, coach, didn't you often let me play the whole game before?" Tonight will definitely be fine. ”

Scott listened and nodded.

Sure enough, with this guy here, it's solid enough.
