Chapter 371: Coach D's Banner Forever Flying Over Staples!!
In this game against the Lakers, the Warriors' preparation cannot be said to be sloppy or not hard.
However, as the team recognized as the strongest in the West, in the absence of Coach D of the Lakers, coupled with the fact that they have advantages in all aspects, the Warriors are indeed not so well prepared.
Before the game, the young people in the team who jumped out of the team were shouting to the media one by one.
Curry, Klay, Dream Green, etc., these Warriors players are all shouting frantically outside.
It's clear that this is a sign that the Lakers are not so well prepared.
The Warriors have always had this problem, and they like to float.
This style of play is actually related to the style of Curry and Klay, the two core leaders on the outside of this team.
Although the boss of the Warriors is the United Arab Emirates, it is actually Curry and Klay who control the rhythm of the Warriors now.
Although Kerr has been restricting Curry and Klay, he has not allowed the two to let themselves go and not let the two of them attack like Seth Curry.
But Kerr still trusts Curry and Klay very much, knows that the two are the source of the team's rhythm, and trusts the two enough.
The reason why I control the two of them is because I know that the two of them are easy to float now, and they are prone to problems after they float.
Powerful because of the float.
Crashes can also be caused by floating.
He's not Coach D, and Curry and Klay aren't players from the bottom like Seth Curry, who can be held down.
It can only be said that Cole is well-intentioned.
It's just that this time, the Lakers still gave him a head start.
Seth Curry jumped up and switched the ball to a pass assist after Wade scored the first two points of the game.
Immediately afterwards, Clay, who was taken by Wade and fell down just now, wanted to find his way back in front of Wade.
After a simple one-stop with the help of Dream Chaser, Clay jumped up in the middle range on the right.
Dream chasing blocks and covers are very good, especially the mobile blocking, which is his unique skill, the referee generally does not blow, and now, although the referee will not open the black, but he will definitely stand on the side of the Warriors, and he will not blow this kind of mobile cover.
Therefore, Clay is extremely relieved about chasing dreams, even more assured than the quality of the cover of the United Arab Emirates, the United Arab Emirates is still too clean to play, although the covering ability is strong, but the quality of the cover is really not necessarily comparable to the chasing dream.
Only this time!
Clay, who was jumping in the air, was already about to make a move, but a figure suddenly flew out next to him!!
"Wade !!"
"Wade not only hung up the cover of chasing dreams, but also jumped up to interfere with Klay's shooting!!"
"Don't forget, Wade has always been one of the best defenders in the league to grab screens!!
"The key is not Wade's ability to grab covers, but that Wade still has such explosive power and bounce ability now!! Isn't his knee completely useless? Why!!! ”
At this time, looking at Wade, who had completely shrouded Clay in the air, at the scene, in front of the TV, and on the Internet, I don't know how many people were shocked!
And the broadcast camera on the scene is also very sensible, and the live broadcast party is even more sensible, directly dividing the screen into two, one side is the game picture, and the other side is Du Kang's picture!
Du Kang's face was always smiling.
And on the other side, Wade in the air, the Chinese knot hanging on his knees, is swaying!
Bang!
As soon as Klay's shot was shot, he was blocked by Wade's flying body!
Wade's defense is very visual.
Popovich, who was watching next to him, kept yelling excitedly.
He's excited!
The momentum shown by the Lakers at the beginning of this game, he is really excited!
This shows that the way Coach D cooperates with him to motivate the team has completely worked.
Judging from the opening game, the rhythm of the two teams is not on the same level at all!
The Warriors' players are not weak, and they are so pressed by the Lakers players on both offensive and defensive ends because the rhythm has not kept up and the intensity has not been able to pull up.
The Warriors need to adjust.
But, how could he and the Lakers possibly give the Warriors a respite!
Well, the Lakers players are excited, and naturally there are downsides.
For example, this time Wade's block on Klay, the basketball did not go directly out of the sideline, but was grabbed by Lefou, Antetokounmpo rushed too fiercely, and directly knocked Lefu down, and the game was just 2 minutes into the back of a foul, which should not be.
Lefou, who got the ball in that position, was not a threat.
The Warriors continued to attack, the Warriors served on the sideline, Lefu received the ball outside the three-point line, trying to trick Antetokounmpo into fouling, a feint, Antetokounmpo was not fooled, and the second time, Antetokounmpo was still not fooled.
Hey?!
In the end, Lefu really shot for the third time!
Antetokounmpo, who was afraid of being fouled, was not able to jump up and block, which was actually a good opportunity.
But two consecutive feints failed to make Love's offensive rhythm a bit problematic, and this three-point miss was missed.
Warriors, still no score!
At this point, the game had already been played for one and a half minutes.
However, fortunately, with Lefou's iron, the inside of the United Arab Emirates pressed Garnett to grab this frontcourt rebound.
After the UAE pressed the Cane feature to grab this frontcourt rebound, the basketball flew out to the hands of the dreamer.
Dream chasing catches the ball and kills it in again!
At this time, Garnett was stuck by the United Arab Emirates, Antetokounmpo was defending Lefu outside, and the old Pierce was left in front of him.
I took two steps to go to the basket with three steps to make a layup, and I was ready to chase the ball, but I found that I was up, but the ball was gone!!
"Steal, Paul Pierce completed the steal on Dream Green!!!"
After the steal, Pierce threw the ball behind him, and the man rushed straight to the frontcourt!
That's trust!
This is tacit understanding!
On the court, he can always feel the position and breath of KG!
Pierce, Seth Curry, Wade, Antetokounmpo all went to the frontcourt!
Just now, the Warriors used their youth and vitality to frantically grab the second offense, and the Lakers fans at the scene were terrified.
And this time, the Lakers counterattacked on the fourth line, and the Lakers fans who watched it were fascinated and fascinated!
In such a four-line counterattack, the Lakers' biggest threat is Wade and Antetokounmpo, who rush the fastest, and Seth Curry, who shoots the most accurately.
Therefore, the Warriors' defensive focus is actually on the trio.
But!
This time, Garnett's pass ......
Garnett, who was in the center circle of the backcourt, smashed the basketball in his hand to the front court!
"It's about passing the basket !!"
Seeing Garnett's pass, almost all Warriors players were returning to the basket to block the impact of Wade and Antetokounmpo!
When the three of them shrank to the basket......
Antetokounmpo and Wade, no one jumped!
The two of them actually chose to get stuck and didn't let them jump!
Lose your marbles?
Is this preparing to let the ball out of bounds?!
And then!
The Warriors' basket trio was shocked.
Chasing dreams, UAE, Clay looked at the speeding basketball in amazement, and smashed it on the rebound!
Then, the basketball bounced straight back!
Garnett has this hand, and they know it!
It's like everyone knows that Curry and Seth Curry have a shot in the middle circle.
However, every time such a scene appears, whether it is Seth Curry and Curry's mid-circle shots, or Garnett's accurate rebound passes, it will be extremely shocking.
"How do you defend a pass like this?"
Manu's eyes widened on the sidelines, while Duncan was silent.
That's the sound on the basketball court!
Moreover, this Shengdong, do you dare not be fooled?
Chasing dreams, if the UAE and Klay don't go back, or go back to two, Wade and Antetokounmpo will be able to catch the ball and dunk directly!
Unless Lefu can also run back.
Lefu works hard.
But he could only watch Pierce outside the three-point line at the top of the arc receive this rebounding pass from Garnett!
Lefou's hard to jump!
In the end, I could only watch Pierce adjust and shoot this almost empty three-pointer!
Pierce's shooting speed is not fast, but it is very stable!
Brush it up!
Hit!
5 to 0!
At this point, just 1 minute and 50 seconds have passed!
In less than two minutes, the Warriors didn't score a point, and the Lakers had already scored five points!
Who would have thought that this game between the Lakers and the Warriors would start like this?
In the next offense, Kerr on the sidelines didn't dare to play any more teams, and now he had to score first.
"Give the ball to Yi !!"
On the court, the UAE pulled out to receive the ball from beyond the three-point line.
Antetokounmpo defended again.
The UAE did not force the offense, but beckoned Curry to come over and block it.
"Appeared, the Warriors' one-pool block !!"
"The Warriors played less than two minutes in the game, and they were forced out by the Lakers to block and dismantle !!"
Chinese fans online were stunned.
A pick-and-roll is their name, and it's the Warriors' trick.
It can be seen from this nickname of the Japanese style that after this trick comes out, how cool it will be.
At all, there is no way to defend it!
Curry used Yi Jianlian's body to block the younger brother who was pursuing him and took Antetokounmpo away.
Almost at the same time, Yi Jianlian hit the basketball in his hand to Curry's hand.
Antetokounmpo is fast enough.
Antetokounmpo still chased Curry.
But!
Curry's small fight is too strong!
Former!
Former!
After!
Two fake bursts and one stepped back, directly distanced Antetokounmpo, and hit the Warriors' first two points of the game from mid-range.
5 to 2!
Curry's singles are wonderful.
However, Cole on the sidelines was very dissatisfied.
Warriors fans in front of the TV didn't see any look of joy or excitement.
They all sent a library to block and dismantle, and it was so difficult to attack?
It can only be said that Antetokounmpo is too fast!
It's really possible to defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position!
It's not a mismatch for anyone, even if it's for Curry, it's not a particularly big dislocation!
However, the appearance of a library block still made the Warriors breathe a sigh of relief.
The Warriors are still very passive, but the offensive stability of a library of blocking and dismantling is too strong, not only can they attack by themselves, but they can also drive their teammates, and the Warriors' offense finally bit the Lakers.
The first quarter lasted until 4 minutes remaining, and with 8 minutes left, the score was 16-14 and the Lakers were only 2 points ahead.
The Lakers started with such a strong game and such a huge consumption, just leading by 2 points, although Curry and the United Arab Emirates also consumed a lot, but if this situation continues, as long as the score is maintained to end the first quarter, the Warriors will slow down, and the players will slowly raise the rhythm and intensity, and the danger will be the Lakers.
At this moment, the acting head coach of the Lakers on the sidelines, Popovich, made a decisive substitution.
Seth Curry down, Pierce down, Ibanks down, McCarvey on.
The Lakers' on-court lineup became Garnett, Antetokounmpo, Ibanks, Wade and McCarvey.
Height, defense, athleticism, straight skyrocket!
Cole next to him was stunned.
Kerr is already a good manager, but certainly not as good as his calculating teachers.
Especially this kind of small adjustment and reading of the game.
Popovich also often makes mistakes, but, Popovich, is really daring to adjust!
Kerr is actually a very daring manager.
However, now that the two teams are biting so much, the moment when they are pulling their whole bodies together, can the new players really keep up with the rhythm of the game?
If you're not careful, it's a crash!
He can see that Popovich's purpose for replacing these people is to crush the Warriors' one-pool block, and others are not in good shape, and strangling one-pool can strangle the Warriors.
But, are you really sure they can do that and not dismantle the rest of the Warriors?
The rest of the Warriors are unwrapped, and the Warriors still can't defend!
Therefore, after the Lakers substitution, Klay received Yi Jianlian's ball, and decisively made a substitution to find McCarvey, wanting to take advantage of McCarvey's unstable foothold to do him!
Klay's shooting is accurate, but Klay also likes to break through with the ball.
So, Klay is very difficult to defend.
The defense is too dead, Klay can really burst to the basket and make a layup.
This time, McCarvey defended very hard.
Clay did break McCarvey.
But Clay, who came to the basket, suddenly found that he ...... Dead too!
Garnett, Antetokounmpo, Ibanks, Wade, TM are all back!
Followed by a McCarvey!
"Clay is surrounded !!"
Even a player with a big heart like Klay is blinded!
Get strong!
Pass!
There is no chance!
Bang!
The ball in Clay's hand was taken away by Wade!
The defense just now was a five-man contraction full-line defense.
After Wade broke the ball, everyone on the Lakers rushed out to the frontcourt.
Even Garnett, on the run!
"The NBA's all-offense and all-defense !!"
"Coach D's signature all-offense and all-defense, which was not realized in his four assistants, was actually realized in the hands of Popovich!!"
Coach D likes to go all-in, and he played this hand with a back five in his rookie season.
This hand, several of his assistant apprentices did not learn.
Popovich, actually learned!!
"Oh my God!!"
Looking at the Lakers players running on the court at this time, the Lakers fans on the sidelines felt incredible!
Looking at the Lakers who were pressing the Warriors at this time, Adam Xiaohua and those around him at the scene were also stunned at this time!
The Lakers, it seems, are so powerful!
Such a powerful Lakers, if they are put into the Finals, then Coach D will come back, Celtics and James, this is another nightmare?
Coach D says he won't be coming back, but!
Can you really believe Coach D's words?
It is the sorrow of the weak to leave their fate in the hands of others to decide.
Obviously, none of them are weakling!
The sound of the brush came!
The Lakers, who obviously had a fast-break dunk opportunity, didn't hit the basket and dunk quickly.
Ibanks received the ball outside the three-point line, and seeing Ibanks receive the ball, the rest of the Warriors decisively recycled the basket, not believing that Ibanks would shoot a fast-break three-pointer.
But!
Ibanx cast!
And it hits!
19 to 14!
Once again, the Lakers stretched the score to 5 points!
And, this time, the Warriors can't stand it anymore!
A library block was broken, and the Warriors could no longer stop the strength of the Lakers!
21 to 14!
23 to 14!
23 to 16!
25 to 16!
28 to 16!
30 to 16!
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the mighty Warriors by 14 points!
At the beginning of the second quarter, after the Warriors were beaten in the first quarter, although they relied on a strong bench lineup to recover a little in the second quarter, they still lost 26-32 in a single quarter.
At the end of the half, the Lakers actually led the Warriors by 20 points 62-42!
Looking at the score at the end of the first half, many people really felt that they had a problem with their eyes.
Is there something wrong with the eyes?
It's either your eyes or your head!
Attack and defend!
Strong oppression!
Popovich beats his little apprentice Cole, it's like beating a child!
Moreover, Popovich used the way, and still is!
D Coach Way!
At the end of the half, the big screen and TV on the scene were all aimed at Du Kang on the sidelines.
"Coach D's flag always flies over Staples!!"
"And the person holding the flag of Coach D is actually Popovich!!"
O'Neill is going crazy!
I don't know how many people are crazy at this time!
And in front of the TV, James' hands were even shaking!!
