Chapter 373: The Price of Growth!
Antetokounmpo's presence amplifies the power of Garnett's organizational abilities.
Without Antetokounmpo's on-the-go tandem for Garnett, the Warriors only need to defend once, and with the Warriors' defensive rotation, they can keep up with the Lakers.
Now add a ubiquitous Antetokounmpo, they can't pounce once, they have to pounce a second time!
This is a loophole everywhere.
At least in this game, Kerr really can't find a way to deal with it.
If you want to beat the Lakers, you need to limit the Lakers' offense, and if you don't limit Garnett, you can't limit the Lakers' offense, and if you don't limit Antetokounmpo, you can't limit Garnett.
This is very clear.
So, Antetokounmpo, there is absolutely a need for restrictions!
Antetokounmpo needs to be restricted, and Iguodala, who can play against Antetokounmpo, is replaced by a real interior center Pachuria, which is really a little incomprehensible.
Even Leonard, the Spurs player who has been following this game and is about to be sent to the Raptors, can't understand it.
Like, if the Warriors used Pachulia to defend themselves one day, he would also not understand.
Therefore, the commentary on the scene now, whether it is Mr. Zhang Li or O'Neill, no matter which TV station or country they are from, they are all shouting at this time that they can't understand what Cole is going to do.
Is this a readiness to give up?
Perhaps, at this time, only Popovich saw Cole's intentions.
Cole was his apprentice, and he knew too well what kind of means Cole had in his hands now.
"The Warriors are definitely going to use Pachuria's covering ability to hit Curry's threes!
Now that the Warriors are so far behind, this kid Steve must be betting on three points! ”
In front of the television, Budenholzer felt that Cole was uneasy to replace Pachuria.
And Popovich, who is stronger than Budenholzer, did not think in this direction.
It's not that Popovich is blind, it's that Cole, is his student, a disciple.
Like, the person next to you can see that a person has bad intentions, and if you are the father of this bad person, will you believe that your son, who has always been respectful to you, will suddenly stab you in the back?
Even, if someone dares to say that about your son, you will not hesitate to kick it over.
In the case of Du Kang, he absolutely did not believe that Nash would one day stab him in the back without hesitation.
Popovich is still immersed in the joy of old Nelson, the joy and joy of putting on the last lesson for his disciple.
So, as soon as Pachulia came on the court, Popovich stood on the sidelines and shouted.
"Giannis, don't follow the dream, beware of Pachuria's cover!"
Almost as soon as Popovich shouted, Antetokounmpo reacted.
Immediately put it completely on Dream Catcher Green, and turned to make up for Pachuria.
Sure enough, Curry's action of running towards Dream Chaser Green was a feint, and Pachulia was the real cover spot!
However, Antetokounmpo slowed down as Antetokounmpo ran towards Pachulia and Dream Green hung up on him.
In the end, no matter how fast Antetokounmpo reacted, he still couldn't make up for Curry, and could only watch Curry block Seth Curry's pursuit with the help of Pachuria, and received a pass from Yi Jianlian outside the three-point line and hit a three-point shot.
78 to 58!
Curry's three points once again chased the difference between the two sides to 20 points.
Not being able to block Curry's three-pointer made Antetokounmpo regret a little.
But Popovich on the sidelines was clapping.
Antetokounmpo's attitude and defensive attitude, there really wasn't any problem at all.
Whether you can prevent this depends mainly on strength and luck.
But attitude matters.
Whether it's Antetokounmpo or Seth Curry, who has a poor defense, they don't have any problems with their defensive attitude.
This is the Lakers created by Coach D!
This team, he used it really well!
This team, he feels like he built it himself!
"If only this team was really built by me!"
Popovich had such thoughts in his mind countless times.
But......
"Now, this team is my team, and I can make this perfect team achieve the ideals of all of us!"
Popovich, who is becoming more and more confident in the Lakers, packed up all his emotions and applauded the Lakers players on the court again.
"Relax, don't be nervous, KG, play slowly!"
With a 20-point lead, this great score is impossible to catch!
As long as nothing else, he will end this game with a 20-point lead over the Warriors!
Steve: There won't be any way around this game!
On the court, in fact, without Popovich's orders, Garnett also knows what to do.
It's really too early to press the tempo.
However, it is possible to slow down the pace of the game a little.
In the third quarter, it was clear that Curry and Yi were back in shape, and the rest of the Warriors were back in shape, and the pace was up, which was good for the Warriors.
Garnett gets the ball at the top of the arc.
At this time, Dream Chaser had been pasted on Garnett's face.
Garnett and Yao Ming are not the same.
Yao Ming is the real center of the organization, but instead of focusing on the organization, he is mainly the center, focusing on the attack, and the outside is driven by the attack.
If it was Yao Ming, in the face of a defense like Dream Chasing, Yao Ming would definitely attack directly on the outside.
But Garnett is different.
Garnett's individual offensive consistency is really not that strong, and his ability is not that strong.
He's more of a leader than his own personal offense.
His style of play is really to use the pass to drive the playmaker.
Therefore, Garnett's performance in this season's playoffs will shock so many experts.
In the history of the NBA, there has never been such a good offense driven by passing.
Including magicians.
Because I'm not very worried about Garnett's individual offense, Dream Chase is quite aggressive defensively.
Ordinary players have already been scrambling with a defense like chasing dreams at this time.
But this is Garnett!
Garnett is in no hurry!
15 seconds.
12 seconds.
10 seconds!
8 seconds!
Time is getting shorter and smaller, and even the Lakers fans on the scene are worried, shouting to remind Garnett to play early.
However, Garnett not only did not play the ball early, but also humiliated Dream Chaser's average height, and held the basketball in his hand high above his head with one hand!
I don't have any intention of playing right away!
At the same time, Garnett, who is holding the ball with one hand, is also directing the traffic of Lakers players with his other hand.
Seeing this scene, Dream Chaser, who was standing in front of Garnett, was directly speechless.
Garnett: This really treats himself as air!
Who can stand this!
"Dream !!"
And at this moment, the voice of Big Brother Yi Jianlian came to Dream Chasing Green's ears.
What?
Dream Catcher Green had no idea why the eldest brother suddenly reminded him and yelled at him.
He just subconsciously looked up.
Then, I saw a very incredible scene.
Can such a swing-arm pass deliver a pass with this speed and power?
How is this done?
Dream Green was really stunned!
And then!
Garnett slammed the basketball in his hand forward!
Seeing Garnett smash the ball like this, almost most people think that they are smashing rebounds, and that's what the Warriors players think.
Yi Jianlian is rapidly expanding, just now the Lakers' run, Seth Curry, Pierce, Wade, and all of them ran out, and they must be expanded.
And the inside line can't be completely ignored, Pachulia may not be able to stop Pachuria, so Dream Chasing needs to retreat.
As soon as he gave up Garnett's dream of chasing back, he saw Antetokounmpo run back and threw Pachulia away.
I have to say that Boss Yi's eyes are really vicious, knowing that it is impossible for Pachulia to defend Antetokounmpo.
I don't know if Cole is stupid, how can he use Pachulia to Antetokounmpo?
Isn't Iguodala okay?
Because of Lefou, Iguodala has been playing as a substitute in the team, but Iguodala's strength and character are still very recognized by other players of the Warriors.
Even they, the descendants of the Warriors, recognize Iguodala very much.
However, who makes Lefu even bigger?
And Lefou's personality is also very good, although everyone can't play together, however, they don't have any opinion on Lefou's start.
And Pachuria, the role player of this team, they don't have such a good impression.
And this time, Pachuria's reckless defense made Dream Green want to curse.
Whether Garnett's pass was inside or outside this time, no one knows.
Only after the basketball smashed the rebound, did you know!
Bang!
Garnett's pass smashed the rebound!
And almost at the same time, Antetokounmpo, who was stopped, had already jumped after getting rid of Pachuria!
"Oh my God!! It's too high! Antetokounmpo, jumped too high!! ”
"Only Antetokounmpo can receive a pass like this!!"
"Why is Garnett's pass so powerful? This also has a lot to do with Antetokounmpo! Ordinary people can't receive a pass like Garnett's at all, because of Antetokounmpo's excellent athleticism, Garnett can pass his ball more and more risky! The more adventurous, the harder it is to defend!! ”
At this time, Garnett's mentor on the sideline commentary seat, McHale, was already excited.
O'Neill beside him was already incoherent at this time, and in McHale's heart, his surging mood was no worse than that of O'Neill beside him.
The better Garnett plays, the more excited Garnett is, and the more excited he is!
At this time, Antetokounmpo, who was in the air, almost leaned back, and single-handedly blocked Garnett's rebounding rebounding pass!
Although this is not the first time he has received a pass like Garnett.
However, for Antetokounmpo, such a pass still made him feel incredible.
He had had incredible experiences in his dreams.
He once wondered why he hadn't thought about practicing such a hand in his dreams in the first place?
I regret it.
This hand is so handsome!
After that, Antetokounmpo came to his senses.
In his dream, he used Yao's body, even if he used Yao's body to practice this hand in the dream, in the real world, he couldn't use his own body.
This kind of passing is too delicate and requires extreme control of one's body!
If you don't practice hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of times without your own body, you can't practice this hand!
No matter how boring he is in his dreams, he will not practice a way of passing the ball so many times.
What a boring person to do such a thing!
Well, besides, even if you practice playing against those Smecta of the South Korean team, you may not be able to use it in the NBA, right?
So, Antetokounmpo later resigned himself to his fate.
With such a handsome pass, he is really powerless.
It's exclusive to Garnett.
Although I don't know how Garnett developed such a pass.
However, such an incredible, super handsome, super eye-catching, overloaded 13 pass is exclusive to Garnett!
But!
With a pass like Garnett!
He is not without benefits, his offense, his organization, all can be liberated!
You don't have to hold the ball, you can attack, you can organize!
Antetokounmpo with his body diagonally in the air is excited!
Lakers fans who exclaimed on the sidelines were also excited!
And Pachuria, under Antetokounmpo, at this time, is also excited!
Now, the whole world is captivated by Garnett's pass!
Now, the whole world is not paying attention to him!
Therefore, as long as he gently stretches his foot back, he can directly destroy this kid in the air!
This kick, Pachulia stretched so decisively and crisply!
And almost the moment Pachulia stretched his feet, Antetokounmpo, who flew diagonally in the air and threw the ball out, frowned.
Because there are too many games with the South Korean team, although they are all low-level games and the ability to improve the level of basketball is limited, but in such a game, the ability to play the black hand is top.
Such a game has also developed a habit on the court.
That is, all the time, they are cautious and there are people around them to do the trick.
At such an exciting time.
Maybe he is the only one in the world who will think about others to do the trick.
Perhaps, at this moment, everyone else, all thinking about how to celebrate with Garnett after hitting this incredible goal!
But!
Such caution proved useful!
Even if 100 times it is useless to be cautious 99 times, but as long as it is useful once, it is to save your career!
So!
"Boy, die!!"
Watching Antetokounmpo lose his balance and fall from the sky, Pachulia seems to see his lifetime contract and Bowen's future!
Perhaps, he can retire his jersey with the Warriors!
And then!
Pachuria's eyes were shrinking rapidly!
Antetokounmpo in the air, suddenly a panicked 'slip', not with his feet first, but with his ass!!
And, the buttocks, sat down directly on his knees!!
Fark !!
Take it back!!
Take it back!!
But!
It's too late!
Brush it up!
Basketball thrown by Antetokounmpo, hit!
Bang!
Antetokounmpo slammed to the ground, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking!
And Dream Chasing Green, who witnessed all this, was stupid!
Cole, who was on the sidelines, looked at Pachuria, who was rolling in pain on the court at this time, and Antetokounmpo, who looked confused after getting up, and they were also stupid!
Large-screen playback.
After Popovich finished reading it, the same people were stupid!
Is this true?
Popovich looked in shock at Cole next to him, one of his most favored disciples.
This knife is too hard!
Even after the game, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 126-106 at home, and Popovich did not recover from the knife.
Leonard......
Cole......
Why?
Even if I'm really sorry for Leonard.
Can I ever be sorry for you Cole?
The game is over.
The whole of Staples, Lakers fans around the world, cheered.
Perhaps at this time, only Popovich was bleeding from heartache.
"Coach, Bobota......"
Du Kang smiled.
"It's okay, it's the price of growth."
“……”
Foolish?
The price of growth?
Nash was directly stupid.
Popovich, this head is all white like this, and it is still growing?
Du Kang ignored Nash's thoughts at this time, and instead looked to the other side, laughing there.
Now, what are you going to do?
Now, the jokes, all of them, are messy.
After the first of the two Western Finals between the East and the West, it was like a nightmare for them!
At this time, the Lakers fans were still cheering, and the Lakers celebrities were hugging each other excitedly.
And Adam Xiaohua, and the friends around him, were sweating in their palms at this time.
The divisional finals in the east and west need their involvement, and then they will lose control of the finals!
After the first game of the Eastern Finals, James will not intervene, and he will inevitably be killed by Oden!
After the first game of the Western Conference finals, the Lakers did not intervene, and the Warriors were about to collapse!
Intervene in the Lakers, James will be eliminated by the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers will beat the Warriors in the finals, and it's over!
Intervene in James, the Warriors will be defeated by the Lakers, and James will beat the Lakers in the finals, a nightmare?!
At this time, it was not only Pachulia and Cole whose hearts were dripping blood in panic.
There are many, many of them......
