Chapter 1351 The thickness of the Warriors' bench is the first in the league?Give me a break.

The Warriors didn't expect that Iguodala performed very well, but the bench time still didn't take the upper hand at all.Because there was actually a guy who was "playing dead" in the regular season on the opposite side.Cole didn't expect this.Pierce, this season's regular season performance is remarkable, not many bright spots, and even his presence in the regular season is not as good as Nick Young.But if you look at it in the playoffs, he is suddenly different from the regular season. The tactical position on the bench has overwhelmed Nick Young.The average data per game is also rising steadily.This is the so-called "an old family is like a treasure".

Signing them, to say the extreme, is for the playoffs.

They themselves are well aware of this.

So in the regular season, try to save your physical fitness and play, and then play in the playoffs.

He and Iguodala led the team against this wave of substitutes, which everyone did not expect.The same is true for Lakers fans.After all, Pierce's performance in the regular season is really not very impressive.In the first few rounds, because he played relatively easily, Pierce can only be said to have played steadily, and he has not yet reached the memorable level.Until this scene, he suddenly had a wave of presence.

Many new Lakers fans are still asking, who is the hot guy?not bad.Can fight Iguodala.

Then I was "ridiculed" by a group of old fans and popular science said: This man was one of the men we hated the most back then.One once claimed to be "I'm the best player in the world not Kobe".A guy who stopped the No. 24 three-peat dynasty.A guy who won Finals MVP in 08.You said he played well?
Iguodala was not at the same level as Pierce at his peak, okay?

This means that Pierce is old, otherwise, this duel will be blown up.

Cole made a special change after failing to overtake in the first substitute time.Nonsense, at this time, at the top of the Western Conference finals, the opponent is still known as the strongest defensive team in history.What kind of reversal effect can ordinary tactics have?Didn't you try everything just now?The effect is not good.Therefore, it takes a clever plan.

You have to be brave.

how to do itVery simple, he made a special layout.Green, who holds the ball in the top arc, is the main attacker.

This wave of changes is very bold. Although Green is also a star now, he is strong in defense and versatility, not offense.And Green this year is not last year.Cole used Green to hit like this last year, and Green hit the iron with a bang.Make this tactic impossible to play at all.But this year is different.Green is very accurate in three-pointers this year.The regular season is a career high of 38.8%.The playoffs also reached almost 37%.So this year, the Warriors' perimeter is exceptionally strong.Green's three-pointer is crucial.

If his three-pointers can be stabilized, the top arc support will become impossible to let go, so that the Warriors can easily tear apart the opponent's defense.But if Green can't make a three-pointer.Just can't do it.For example, last year, Green only made 26% of his three-pointers.Four or five more shots per game.That's definitely not enough lethality.It doesn't matter if you let it go.The Cavaliers did this in the original space-time finals, trying to let go of Green, and then gained a certain degree of defensive liberation.It's a pity that this season is different. Green's three-pointers are very accurate, so it's hard to ignore him.You go out to defend, the 4th position can't stop him at all.How tall is Green?It is definitely the speed and frequency of the guard, so this year's Warriors regular season will be so irresistible.

Invincible.

Now, Cole directly let Green attack, and Green also made up his mind, and made several three-pointers, which made the Lakers feel a little overwhelmed.Neither Yi Jianlian nor Randall could stop him.Moreover, the continuous scoring has greatly improved Green's competitive state, and the overall play has become more aggressive.Of course the Lakers can go to Covington, but now both sides are competing, and neither of them can easily go to the strongest lineup.As a result, the Lakers also made changes.Larry Brown goes up to the top with the extremely athletic Josh Smith.

Speed ​​and strength will not suffer.

Moreover, what Larry Brown wants is definitely not that simple.

Some people will ask, can someone like Smith take on this defensive task?It was indeed difficult for him who was used to waves before.But after Larry Brown's training this entire season.His defensive attitude and defensive ability have obviously recovered.Why do we say recovery instead of improvement?Because of this guy, the defense was already very strong.It's just that I gradually became loose and stayed in a bad team for a long time, so I gradually forgot how to defend.Do you think this is a joke? NO~ If I tell you that Josh Smith once won the NBA All-Defensive Team, would you believe it?But it's true.And that year, he was only 24 years old.

And in Yuanshikong, he is still very athletic at the age of 34-35, not to mention that he is only 30-31 now, which is the golden age of basketball players.So after such a long time, it's time for him to wake up.Among Larry Brown's substitute players this season, Covington has spent the most time, and then Josh Smith.This guy is obviously a defensive genius, but because he played on a bad team for so long, he forgot how to defend.What a waste of talent.

Fortunately, he is still young now, and his athletic ability is still online at this age, so he will not decline too much.In addition, he doesn't need to work hard on the offensive end, just defend with all his strength and do a good job in 3D.Is he suitable?very suitable.It doesn't matter if you have a hot head.Just bring out his best defensive side.Green has just performed a few times that he feels good about himself. The previous ball was even easily broken by Yi Jianlian because he cared too much about his three-pointer, and he hit a beautiful throw.So right now Green is going strong.

Many people thought it was a joke when they saw Larry Brown's transformation.

Is it?The old man spent so long training people, do you really think he was joking?It's really that the mud can't support the wall, the old man kicked him off a long time ago, okay?Stupid people of the world, let you see the results of this old man's training.

Don't dare to say anything else, the defense is stimulated, the old man is absolutely doing his part.

After the game, the entire Lakers team also talked about this issue. Josh is a defensive beast tonight.

This is a matter of unanimous agreement.

Green also wanted a fake three-pointer for this ball, and then took a big step to hit the inside for a small projectile.His state tonight was fed by the consecutive three-pointers just now.In addition, the head coach appointed him to be the main player, which also made Green feel confident.Hehehe, see?Brother Splash is in trouble now, we still have to rely on Brother!

Brother is also one of the giants of this team.

Come see me perform tonight!

Brother's touch is also very good.

Then get 30~40 points in one go.This guy Green is indeed scoring better in the playoffs than in the regular season.His highest career score actually came in the playoffs.And the first two are playoffs.He also scored 8 three-pointers in one breath in the playoffs.So, really don't underestimate him.When the Warriors performed poorly in the playoffs, they often stood up.

Green is one of them.

He saw that Josh Smith was so much taller than him, and he thought that he was going to be a kid and a big guy, just pass by in one go.Unexpectedly, the ball rushed in and just shot it, and it was a big hot pot.The ball was very clean and beautiful, and then the Lakers Beverly picked up a cheap one and ran directly to complete a one-man fast break.

Green was a little annoyed. He had a big mouth, and he sprayed at Josh Smith: "How dare you cover me? You little substitute!"

Before Josh Smith could speak, Tang Qian helped him and said, "Go back to Josh, he's just an ordinary blue-collar worker."

I'm... a blue collar? ? ?Can you stop farting! ! ! ! !My assists and organizational skills were eaten by you?My score in this game was eaten by you?Who do you look down on?Before Green could speak, Smith, who was supported by Tang Qian, also puffed up his chest, and said to Green: "You are the cover! Your scoring method is as clumsy as a clown!"

"Who are you! How dare you spray me back? Just wait! If I don't blow you up later, you will be a ghost!" Green's big mouth alliance is famous, and he usually won't stop talking.Everyone is used to this, and it's not normal if he doesn't speak.The Lakers missed the ball, which was a good opportunity. Tang Qian sent the ball out and missed the middle distance from the outside.

After the Warriors got the ball, they still mainly attacked Green, and it was up to Green to choose whether to pass or attack.

But before he touched the ball, he had already decided what to do with it.

He hit Josh Smith hard, which made Cole frown a little. Sure enough, the ball was interfered and destroyed at the moment of offense and defense.Looking at the slow motion, it should be considered a block.However, the ball was fouled.After Green heard the whistle, it was like an amnesty. Because he was blocked twice in a row after being defended twice, his momentum and face would be cut off.So this whistle, saved him.

Let him taunt Josh Smith instead, and look, little scumbag, thank you for sending me to the free throw line, I scored again.

Green was also competitive and made 2 of 2 free throws. When he made a hit and retreated to the defense, he was still chattering at Josh Smith. Smith was very angry because he was not a good tempered man, and he did a lot of messy things back then.So he was not convinced about Green.

You are the third man of the Warriors, do you really consider yourself a big star?
The Lakers attacked, missed the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll, and the rebound... Tang Qian got it again!Because the Warriors haven't played Bogut yet, they can only use Festus for the time being.Unknowingly, Tang Qian has become the one with the best physical fitness in the playoffs.It is a dream for ordinary players to compare their physical fitness and playing time with them.Therefore, he saw the ball on the right spot, succeeded in counter-blocking, and then saw the Warriors' defense and intended to shoot the ball immediately.

The basketball is outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Josh Smith catches and shoots.

Josh Smith's three-pointers in the regular season this season are average, but in the playoffs it is like a godsend.

Similar to the original time and space, it has reached 5%!In this year's playoffs, the Lakers' bench was full of sharp shots.One by one, they all played far beyond the usual performance.But there are also objective reasons.The Lakers' inside lethality this season is too strong, so whether it is a first pass or a second pass, it is easy to have a large open opportunity.In this way, it makes sense to shoot up.It's not some kind of crazy projection.

But even so, with 5% of the three points, the open space is really strong.

hit.

After Josh Smith scored a goal, he shook his fist at Green. This is the way these Lakers players express it now.Be hard enough.Can't lose morale.Fight back strongly.Green and Smith got angry, and this ball was a situation of opening singles.It seems that Green is determined to suppress the latter.Opening up the singles and playing them in is the best effect.

What about the Lakers?Also very cooperative, directly helping to pull apart, let the two go to the top arc for one-on-one.

One-on-one, Green really overestimated himself a bit. His shooting percentage and scoring have increased this season, and his scoring average has reached a career high.However, that was only 14 points per game.Definitely not breaking blue collar boundaries.Moreover, this is still a statistic under which the Splash Brothers have attracted too much defensive pressure.Just calling him himself is completely nonsense.

It's more than 10 points per game.

So this one-on-one, Green broke through with a three-threat, and then tried to squeeze the opponent away with his body, and then shot.As a result, Tang Qian hadn't had time to jump up to help defend and block the ball. A figure next to Green flew into the air, and the first was a "volleyball hat"!Hengkong hat flew the ball!The ball went straight out of the baseline.

I said ~ so vigorous? ? ?

Tang Qian himself was a little confused.

Is this still the Josh Smith in my impression? ? ?Can't make a mistake, right? ? ?lucky?In good shape?

After landing, Josh Smith yelled loudly, with a sense of the scene.Then he said to Green: "Are you blocking shots compared to me? You are ten blocks away! James is not as good as I block shots, you know? Little children's shoes!" This is bragging, right?Well, I guess many people think so.But if you're an older fan, you know it.This is really not Josh Smith simply pretending to be aggressive.The average number of blocks per game in this guy's career is close to 2 times!What concept?This is still him dawdling behind, without much defensive data.So it was pulled down a lot.

It was not a lie to claim to be the strongest shot-blocker on the outside back then.

In the first six years of his career, he averaged about 2.5 blocks per game.There are also 2.1 times of data in the sixth year.In the ninth year of his career, he averaged 1.8 blocks per game.Just ask.Has LeBron James ever blocked a single season in his career?Josh Smith averaged 1.4 blocks per game last season.In the first half of the season with the Pistons, he averaged 1.7 blocks per game.James?Have you ever blocked 1.2 shots per game?Josh Smith averaged 2.9 blocks per game at his peak, close to 3!Then there are 2.8 and 2.6 seasons.You need to know what it means for an outside player to average about 3 blocks per game.This is still a season's data, after seventy or eighty games, there is no moisture at all.He Josh Smith wants to say that I am much better at blocking shots than James, who dares to say "no"?So Green?And he is not a level shot blocker.

Besides, he is a player who has really won the defense. If his brain is not too hot, he probably has to defend all year round.

Why else would Larry Brown value him so much.So much effort has been spent on him this season?

Josh Smith also felt the harmonious atmosphere of the Lakers and the importance of the head coach. With the team's focus on defense, he finally began to concentrate on polishing or restoring defense.After a full season, he finally gradually found the defensive feeling of the year.Not to mention that it can be fully recovered, but it will be fast.After all, the current team's overall system is mainly defensive, and Larry Brown's responsibility for his team is also a shot blocker.Then add that he doesn't need to waste energy on the offensive end, so this game has the scene just now.

If the referee hadn't whistled for a foul, he would have blocked Green 3 times in a row!
And Josh Smith is not like this in the regular season, and he also blocks shots in the playoffs!

The highest average per game has also taken 2.9 times!Here is the proof!
In blocking shots from outside, he is actually superhuman!
As a perimeter player, he has been in the top three in blocked shots for three consecutive seasons and top two in blocked shots for two consecutive seasons.As far as the shot blocker is concerned, comparing James with him is tantamount to humiliating him.In terms of two people, they are not at the same level.That's why Larry Brown is so confident in beating the Warriors in the playoffs.Playing small ball defense, they are not opponents either.Big ball defense?Not to mention that.

The gap is even bigger.

After the first half, Cole also looked a little gloomy. He didn't expect to make so many tricks and still lag behind. This is definitely not good news for the Warriors.In the locker room, he had to come up with some tricks, otherwise he lost 2 goals in a row at home.The morale blow to the team and players is no small matter.

That would be a bad situation.

Cole didn't want that to happen.

Besides, he felt that he had underestimated the strength of the Lakers' bench, not just a little, but greatly underestimated.

I thought that the Warriors' bench was the number one in the league. Not to mention Iguodala, they also found Livingston.As a result, I turned around and saw that the Lakers were not bad.Covington, Beverly, Pierce, and now a Josh Smith suddenly appeared, plus there is also a big shooter Yi Jianlian... How dare you say that the Warriors have the thickest bench in the league?

Do you take the lead first?
With a somewhat heavy heart, Cole led the team into the player channel of Oracle Stadium.He really had to figure out a way during the intermission.Otherwise, it would be difficult to win this game.And the series will be hard to play.

PS: Yes, this chess piece was also arranged by Xiaozi before, how about it, you are afraid.The strongest outside shot blocker, how many people know his brilliance in the field of shot blocking?Alas, now, the Warriors are in blood mold~
