In the first quarter of the game, in order to stop Curry from going berserk on the court, the Lakers' defense could only be forced to expand more and more.

That's when Curry's increasingly thick arms with Grover's support come into play.

In fact, as an offensive guard, Curry has never been able to shoot more than just threes.

In this life, Curry, who has a high 99 foul ability, will only be more difficult to defend when he breaks through.

Because defenders have to be on the lookout at all times, they'll send Curry to the free-throw line the next second.

So far, Curry has averaged 7.1 free throws per game in his career, which is more than double the number of the same period in his history.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, many fans thought that Curry was unable to get free throws that matched his status because of his limited playing style.

But such a statement is obviously not objective enough.

Because if you watch all the games of Curry's career in their entirety, you will find that many times Curry's three-point strong shooting and breakthrough under the basket are suspected of fouls on the other side.

Admittedly, many of these fouls are the kind of fouls that can be judged or not.

But compared to the group of foul-makers of the same era......

Does Curry have a cylinder at all......

It has become a major unsolved mystery for Wang Shuo to pass through the former NBA.

Tonight, after engaging the Lakers' co-defense with a breakaway, Curry didn't take credit.

Instead, he frequently used passes to complete the connection with Leonard.

In the game, Ibaka, who was responsible for keeping an eye on Leonard, was messed up.

Because when defending, he has to expand with other teammates to stop Curry from going wild on the outside, so once Curry chooses to break into the Lakers' hinterland, he will often be in a one-defense situation.

Wang Shuo is well aware that as Curry gradually enters the peak of his career......

His teammates around him will all enjoy the gravitational bonus from Ku.

This season, Leonard has completed a total of 178 air cuts in the regular season, of which more than 70 percent of his air cuts are directly or indirectly related to Curry.

In fact, in terms of competition style alone, in Wang Shuo's eyes......

Curry and Leonard are a perfect pair in theory.

Because compared to Durant, who is overflowing with offensive firepower......

Leonard, who can also help Curry through hard solutions at critical moments, is one of the few forward gates in the NBA's second decade with a defensive system.

And in this life, under the careful cultivation of Wang Shuo, Leonard, who has both offense and defense, has also done a better job of off-ball offense than the same period in history.

In the Staples Center, "Uncle Ka", who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game at the moment, had already made up his mind in his heart, that is, no matter what happened in the future, he must also let Leonard hold Wang Shuo's thigh.

Before Wang Shuo crossed over, he always wanted to give Leonard the "Uncle Ka" who wanted to fight for more benefits off the court, but he was definitely not stupid.

Now, as the spokesperson of "AJ", Leonard not only has access to unimaginable business resources because of Wang Shuo's connections, but also in Charlotte, with Wang Shuo, the city's potential has been fully stimulated......

"Uncle Car" knows better than anyone that as long as Leonard can stay in Charlotte......

In that future, the No. 1 small forward in history will sooner or later be in Leonard's pocket.

TNT, in the first quarter of the game, O'Neal praised Leonard's performance tonight: "If Scottie, who is in the third year of his career, can be half as good as Cohuai, then I think Michael will wake up laughing in his dreams." ”

In this life, Leonard, the "card frame version of Jordan", is destined to write his No. 23 legend with Curry in Charlotte.

In the first quarter of the game, with Curry's 19 points in a single quarter and Leonard's 11 points, the Hornets led 38-30 on the road.

Tonight, Curry and Leonard stole all the show.

At this time, Wang Shuo also noticed the envy that the Hornets inadvertently showed when they substituted Butler.

In fact, Butler already knew his fate when the Hornets discussed an early contract extension with Leonard.

In Charlotte, he knew very well that he was destined to be just a passerby.

Therefore, before the start of the finals, Butler also found Wang Shuo in private, hoping that Wang Shuo could tell him openly and honestly about his position in the team in the future.

Wang Shuo did not hide this.

"Jimmy, you know, I've never liked to give empty promises to the young players on the team.

So I can tell you very clearly, even if you choose to stay in the future......

I can't give you more playing time and possession. ”

Hearing this, Butler, who was relieved, smiled: "Boss, thank you for not hiding it from me.

I love Charlotte and enjoy playing here.

But if I could, I'd like to try it too......

Can I do more on the pitch. ”

Life has dreams, each wonderful.

After Butler made his attitude clear to him, Wang Shuo knew that after this summer, the Hornets would need to seriously consider whether to keep Butler for another year and let him leave as a free agent after a year, or choose to trade Butler for draft picks next season.

Since the Hornets still have Middleton on the bench, Wang Shuo prefers to trade Butler for draft picks rather than trading Butler for players of equal strength, so as to continue to inject fresh blood into the Hornets after he retires from the background in the future.

In addition, after an early contract extension with Leonard, the Hornets must also get an early contract extension with Klay this summer.

Because Klay's next contract with Leonard will be counted towards the Hornets' total salary from the 15/16 season, if the Hornets reach a contract extension agreement with Klay, it also means that the Hornets will definitely not be able to complete a contract extension with Jefferson in the future.

However, in this regard, Wang Shuo was mentally prepared from the beginning.

Although there was a little cruelty to Jefferson......

But compared to leaving Jefferson, Wang Shuo's eyes have already looked to the long-term future.

Wang Shuo knew......

Jokic, who can use his four-year child labor benefits to help the Hornets survive the next championship cycle in the future, is the perfect candidate for the Hornets to play at center in the future.

Therefore, next season, after letting Jefferson take Jokic to first-year training, Wang Shuo knows that the Hornets can let Jefferson pursue the last big contract of his career.

"I'm cold-blooded."

At the end of the first quarter, looking at Butler and others who were preparing to play under the leadership of Paul, Wang Shuo thought silently in his heart.

No way.

Compared to when you were nomadic all over the United States......

Since Wang Shuo has to think more about the future of the Hornets at this moment, he needs to treat each player rationally more than emotionally.

Especially after the NBA recently limited the number of contract extensions under the new collective bargaining agreement.

In the NBA, history has proven countless times that if you want to keep a team competitive in the long term, you have to keep changing blood.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wang Shuo to destroy the infinite future of this wasp with his own hands for the so-called meritorious basketball.

As Bryant put it......

Friends come and go.

Only the flag of the championship flutters in the wind.

The camera returns to the court.

Staples Center, because losing this game will be 0-3 down to the Lakers, so in the second quarter, the Lakers players also showed a sworn attitude.

Ellis, who was put on the bench by Vogel, played extremely efficiently this time by staggering his off-peak trips.

In the first half of the second quarter, he shot 4-of-6 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 12 points for the Lakers alone.

However, Paul, who is also hungry for a career first championship, used his rhythm to neutralize Ellis's scoring in a sense amid the wails of the Lakers fans at the scene.

In the game, how to pull out how to have Paul almost single-handedly supported the Hornets' offense in the second quarter.

In this quarter, Paul shot 5-of-7, including 1-of-2 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, totaling 13 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and did not have a single turnover.

CCTV, because of the relationship between the United Arab Emirates, Director Zhang, who hopes that the Lakers can win the championship, said with a desperate face: "The Hornets have stars who can stand up in every quarter of the game.

It's so hard for the Lakers to win! ”

In this life, Paul, who had experienced more hardships earlier in his career, clearly recognized his position.

Of course, the reason why our cannon can be so self-aware at this moment is also related to Wang Shuo's existence.

But it's also absolutely amazing......

In the game, when Paul didn't care so much about his stats......

Instead, he played at the MVP level in tonight's second quarter.

This year, the NBA's judges have had a headache.

Because if the Hornets do win the championship......

Who will take the MVP trophy in the finals has indeed become a difficult matter to decide.

In the second quarter of the game, after returning to the court, Curry did not choose to do whatever he wanted in the game because of his hot hand, but frequently used his containment to help Paul create a good passing environment and provide excellent offensive space for the whole team.

In the NBA, especially for a team made up of multiple stars......

If no one is willing to sacrifice in the game, then no matter how many superstars there are in this team, they are destined to be 100% hard.

This Hornets, with Wang Shuo in charge, and Curry also leading by example, so they can show that desperate dominance in the team's playoff journey this year.

At halftime, 72-61.

In a game where the Lakers had to fight their backs, the Hornets went into the second half with an 11-point lead.

In the third quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant hit two fairy three-pointers for the Lakers in the opening game, which once ignited the entire arena.

But on the court, under the personal guard of the "old Mamba", the "Mamba" Curry unreasonably returned the color with two equally immortal three-point shots in the bottom corner and the top arc.

These two three-pointers, when they shot, Kobe Bryant had already sealed to the limit.

But Curry was unmoved and shot the ball into the basket hard.

And the worst part is......

At that moment when this group of former teammates of the Lakers was eager to eat Curry alive......

An inexplicable Buddha light......

All of a sudden, the entire Staples Center was illuminated!

As a player who is both loved and hated.

When Klay Thompson throws those unjustified three-pointers on the court, even as a fan of him, you'll want to go up and give him a kick.

Can......

When he was able to hit those super difficult catch-and-shoot jumpers in a row......

You will find that the original to watch the basketball game......

Knees can be so fragile.

As the son of former Lakers legend Michael Thompson......

On this night, Klay personally extinguished the Lakers' hopes of a comeback on this night.

In the third quarter, he shot 8-of-8 from the field with a total of 11 seconds of possession, including 5-of-5 three-pointers, and scored 21 points for the Hornets without free throws.

Finals single quarter "20+".

Why are you kneeling and watching the game, you ask?

That's because, of course......

Clay shot through the dome of the Staples Center.

"Wasps are really one person and one section!

This game, every time you focus your defensive resources on their best players, you'll find ......

They just have someone who can stand up! ”

In the third quarter of the game, on the sidelines, even Jordan began to feel a little sorry for the Lakers, and said to Wang Shuo: "How can the Lakers win such a game?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo pondered for a while and said, "Actually, it's not difficult......

As long as Kobe Bryant can score 20 points per quarter for the Lakers, they can beat us. ”

Jordan: "......"

Finals, 20 points per quarter?

At this moment, in Jordan's eyes, even if he can lend all his talent to Kobe, Kobe may not be able to do it.

"Is there any other way?" Jordan asked.

Wang Shuo said: "Or pray for the referee's help to ensure that you can get a free throw even if you can't score in every round." ”

Jordan: "......"

After a pause, Wang Shuo added: "Of course, there is one easiest way. ”

Jordan was curious: "What way?" ”

After spreading his hands helplessly, Wang Shuo said: "Please ask me to be the head coach of this Lakers team." ”

Jordan: "......"

Although at this moment, Wang Shuo admits that he has so many hundred million points of pretense.

But it's true......

If he coaches the Lakers, as long as the coach who coaches the Hornets is not himself, then in Wang Shuo's view, it is not impossible for the Lakers to defeat the Hornets.

After all, in terms of the number of stars in this Hornets......

Generally, the coach has to numb his scalp just to deal with the distribution of the ball among the players on the field.

"In the first two games of this Finals, the Lakers didn't take advantage of their roster advantage.

Although in the third game Frank made adjustments to this......

However, due to the fact that they did not prepare a corresponding plan before, the Lakers did not fully stimulate their full strength.

In addition, the use of Mark and Sergi is also up for debate.

If I were the head coach of the Lakers, I'd probably take these two apart.

Because both of them have strong defensive and rim protection capabilities, staggering their playing time can perfectly ensure that the Lakers have a rim barrier in each time period. After roughly sorting out several key points that the Lakers did not do well in this year's Finals, Wang Shuo said to Jordan.

Actually, if you really want to find a thorn......

In Wang Shuo's view, the offensive tactics used by Vogel in this round of the finals are also very problematic.

Of course, compared to Vogel in Wang Shuo's memory......

In this life, Vogel has clearly become much more enlightened.

Merely......

"Who made his opponent me?" In the final quarter of the game, as the Lakers took the initiative to withdraw all the main forces, Wang Shuo, who knew that the overall situation had been decided, turned his head and continued to say to Jordan.

Staples Center, in the end, the score of this finals G3 game was fixed at 133-117.

In the first three games of the Finals, the Hornets used their formidable offensive firepower to blast through the Lakers in three consecutive games.

TNT, O'Neal commented: "The Hornets have almost locked up this year's championship......

I think in the next game, which player in the Hornets team will be selected as the MVP of this year's Finals is the most concerned thing. ”
