Chapter 168: Hitter Player

Kerr wants the Warriors players to solve their problems on the court themselves.

Yong's side was clearly suppressed by the Lakers' morale.

The Lakers started with a lot of defensive intensity and a lot of movement.

And the referee is naturally taking care of the Lakers at Staples tonight.

Bryant and Clarkson made a couple of big defensive moves on the outside.

The referee didn't blow the whistle either, which was clearly in the home team's favor.

After 8:0, the Warriors stabilized their position and wanted to play a pass.

As a result, Thompson's layup under the empty cut basket was blocked by Hibbert!

After Thompson was covered, he shouted at the referee: "Hitter, he hit!" ”

The ball was indeed suspected of being a hitter, but the referee didn't blow it.

Kobe Bryant pushed the fast break and passed the ball to Wang Shuang.

Wang Shuang received the ball at 45 degrees, one step away from the three-point line.

Barnes stood in front of him.

Wang Shuang did not break through, but directly pulled up a three-point shot!

Hit a three-pointer!

The extra practice was not in vain, and Wang Shuang felt very good at the beginning.

"Cast beautifully, do beautifully!"

Jack Nicholson, wearing sunglasses on the sidelines, got up and shouted.

11:0 up.

Wang Shuang's shot was very bold.

But he himself thinks it's a good choice.

Because he knows that if he chooses to break through.

Nine times out of ten, the referee is looking for a whistle.

This is the usual trick of NBA referees.

There was a miscalculation in one of the rounds.

Then in the next round, you can find it back from your opponent.

For example, if you break through, the opponent will blow you and push people when he falls slightly.

Or someone comes to block and dismantle, and blows to move cover.

Or just take a walk.

Anyway, as long as the referee wants to blow you, he can always find flaws.

In this way, it can be considered smoothed back and forth.

In fact, it will be unfair to the rising side.

Because morale and the continuity of the offensive were interrupted.

It is beneficial for the backward and inferior side.

They can get a respite adjustment.

It's also a way for NBA referees to control the court.

In a business league, a good referee is not necessarily impartial.

It's about trying to balance and keep the game under control.

And Wang Shuang's strong three-point shot made the referee useless.

He could only turn around and blow Hibbert for a defensive foul on the Warriors' offense.

Then send Livingston to the free-throw line.

Hit both free throws.

The Warriors finally scored.

From free throws.

And the Lakers' offensive tide hasn't receded.

Wang Shuang high post and Kobe Bryant block and dismantle.

After receiving the ball, he made another three-point shot and went in!

Wang Shuang's feeling is here.

One step away from the three-point line.

Shoot slowly and unhurriedly.

The opponent wants to interfere, but he can't reach it.

At 14:2, he had a 12-point lead at the beginning.

The Lakers' defense slackened slightly.

It's not realistic to maintain high intensity all the time.

The Lakers, in particular, are an older team.

Once you take the lead at the beginning, you try to press your opponent as much as possible.

Warriors Thompson hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Follow Randolph to the basket to receive Kobe's pass and make a layup.

The Warriors cut to the basket and Livingston made a layup.

But Wang Shuang immediately hit a mid-range jumper on the right side.

He was in great offensive shape in the first quarter.

The scores of both sides alternated upwards.

At the end of the first quarter, Wang Shuang scored 14 points.

The Lakers led the Warriors by nine points at 33-24.

It is obviously unrealistic to want to kill the warrior in one go.

However, Kerr was too big in the first quarter.

There was no timely timeout, which made the Lakers offense play with a feeling.

Actually, call a timeout at 8:0.

The Warriors came back to their senses, and the first quarter was a reversal >>

Restraining the Lakers.

The two sides have competed in the first two games.

There is already a preliminary sense of familiarity.

That's how the series is.

Except for the one-sided 4:0 and 4:1.

On one side, the first four games are all about getting to know each other.

Both sides see the moves, and all kinds of tactics and rotations are played.

When it comes to fifth, sixth, or even grabbing seven.

Basically, the coach hasn't changed much.

It depends on the individual strength of the players, their on-the-spot performance, and their morale.

And, of course, luck.

In the third game, the two coaches were still fighting.

In the second quarter, when Wang Shuang rested.

Scott didn't use Nick Young or Green to replace Wang.

Instead, he chose the veteran Ci Shiping.

Tzu Shiping has not played a few games this season.

Injured for most of the regular season, lying on the injury list.

By the time he paid, Wang Shuang had already risen.

Plus there are Green, Nick Young and others in front.

Ci Shiping couldn't get a chance to play.

But tonight, Scott gave Tzu Shiping a chance.

Playing for nothing else, just to shock the Warriors' forwards.

Although the Warriors are the first in the league in offense, their defense is not to be underestimated.

Playing that is called a dirty.

Especially Draymond Green.

Always attach some unnecessary moves to the defense.

Like a leg raise or something.

The referee sometimes does not blow and indulges such malicious actions.

Of course, this has been the case for a long time in competitive competitions.

Earlier, in the 70s, even every team would have a "hitter player".

In addition to playing, these thugs are fighting on the field.

Protect your star from being hurt by the opposing player.

Now, there are far fewer such cases in the league.

Everyone is a decent person with an annual salary of millions or tens of millions.

Why fight and kill like this?

But in the playoffs, in order to win, win.

This will inevitably happen.

Green's defense will hurt the opponent in addition to that.

It will also create a deterrent that the opponent will not dare to invade the basket.

Wang Shuang is also a master in this area.

There was a lot of blood under his elbows.

But Scott didn't want to waste Wang Shuang.

In case Wang Shuang and Green exchanged each other.

It must be the Lakers who suffer.

So, Scott got the big guy Ci Shiping on the field.

Tzu Shiping's mission is clear.

When Green is there, give him some color.

Let him not be so arrogant in his defensive movements.

And Green's product is also a typical bully of the soft and afraid of the hard.

After Ci Shiping appeared on the stage and replaced him.

Green's originally fierce face looked much more well-behaved.

Green dealt cards at a high level, and he didn't dare to look at Ci Shiping more.

The ball went straight out.

And Ci Shiping's athletic ability is not good, but the experience is still there.

He just needs to defend well.

As for the offense, squatting in the bottom corner.

Then the ball was in control of the ball.

The second squad played for a short time.

It's only about 4 minutes.

The score came to 40:32.

The Lakers still have an eight-point lead.

Tzu also caused an offensive foul on Green in defense.

After he was knocked down, he immediately got up and said to Green, "Hit me? Why did you hit me? Do you want to be banged by me? Come and try, do you want to try? ”

Green hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to, the referees have blown fouls, calm down, brother, calm down." ”

Green calmed down at this point.

Ci Shiping glared at Green.

The game went into an official timeout, and the Lakers' main lineup reappeared.

The rhythm and situation of the game are slowly entering the control of the Lakers.
