Chapter 1582 Really Strong

The Warriors are indeed the kings of the original time and space this season. If the referee hadn't controlled the field and abruptly added a play to the finals, it would have been a 16-0.Dominance is unquestionable.The Big Three of the Cavaliers were completely powerless in front of them.

Even if you take a closer look, this year's Yu Yuyong didn't feel like he played at his full strength in any team.

Except for a game against the Spurs, which only won by 2 points, the rest were all crushed by big scores, winning by more than ten points and 20 points.

So this year's Warriors, you can't see the end of their strength at all, as if playing any team is fun, go up and play casually, and then it's over.Yes, that's the feeling.They didn't do their best in the regular season, and they...nor did they in the playoffs.

It's just raised a level, and the tacit understanding and running-in are better.

Otherwise, how do you think the best playoff record in the history of the original time and space was achieved?

What's more, the core players of the Warriors were all beaten by the Lakers last year, including the newcomer Durant, the same is true, there is no difference.They all took a deep breath for the Los Angeles Lakers!So you can also call this Warriors team the "Lakers Avengers".Because they are all holding back, it's been a season, and they are here waiting to play the Lakers.

Even Curry, Durant, Thompson, and Green said that it doesn't matter who is in the finals, they only focus on the Lakers.

These words... Haha, just ask the opposite team if it is embarrassing?
The outside world predicted that the Cavaliers would be invincible all the way in the East. As a result, the two teams in the West did not pay attention to the so-called invincible Cavaliers in the East.The Lakers are similar. Their focus is on this Western Conference Finals.The Lakers Nation newspaper said:

Our task this time is to get through the Western Conference Finals, and if it passes, then we have successfully defended our title.

The Golden State Warriors are our number one enemy!

Well, look, are you also blatantly ignoring the Cleveland people on the opposite side?
As for the dissatisfaction of Cavaliers fans?If you are not satisfied, you are not satisfied, and who cares about you!

In the face of the Lake Yong battle, the Cavaliers have no room to comment.

Dissatisfied?hold back.

As soon as the Warriors came up, Curry directly screened and circled out, a long shot, swiped~, and hit.

The Lakers had no problem defending the ball, and Rondo followed immediately, reaching out to block the shot, but he didn't block it.

After Curry scored a goal, he spit out his braces and bit it. This is his typical action of pretending to be aggressive and focusing on destroying the enemy.You can see that his eyes are very fierce.

Damn Lakers, you swept us last year and made us a historical joke with 73 wins. You must take revenge this year!

The Lakers moved the ball from a wing, and attracted the ball down the middle. Rondo broke through and scored the ball. Ariza slipped from the baseline and shot the ball. The ball was directly chased by Draymond Green of the Warriors and slapped it away!Green's defensive mobility is so good, he is one of the defensive cores of the Warriors.Turning around, Curry made another three-pointer. I don't know if Curry misjudged the ball and actually shot an air ball.No one thought of this, but Thompson, who is also a marksman, sensed that something was wrong with the ball, and immediately rushed in and slapped it out.It was still given to Curry, and Curry was still in place, ready to make a shot.

"Go defend him! Don't let him go!" Larry Brown also shouted from the sidelines.

He is also very clear that this round of the series is actually the finals in the true sense.After winning the Warriors, any Eastern team on the opposite side is not worth mentioning.This situation is the same as when Jordan just retired at the beginning of the 21st century. As long as the breakthrough in the Western Conference is successful, the championship is basically a certainty.

It's the same now, whether it's the Warriors or the Lakers, they all regard this round of the Western Civil War as the top of the Forbidden City.

Zhan Badong?It would be good to let him dominate the East. Anyway, so many finals in his career in the Western Conference, it was only once that he played against the Thunder team that reached the finals for the first time. The rest of the time, even if he won the championship, it was not so easy.Even thrilling.

So let him go, he has the Eastern dominance, does he have the Western dominance, doesn't he?

Our Western Conference Finals is the peak matchup of the season.

Ariza of the Lakers threw this ball very quickly. With his height and long arms, it should be effective.But how did he know that this guy Curry, he was not afraid of Ariza's culling, he took a steady step back, and then retreated to a distance of about 30 feet.Raise your hand...and shoot! ! !
Ariza was dumbfounded by this ball!This, can you still play like this? ? ?This is a distance of 30 feet! ! !

Are you that sure? ? ? The distance of more than 9 meters! ! !

Then Curry told him, what is the number one marksman in history, brush~, it is accurate! ! !

"Did you see the Lakers! Don't try to stop me this year!!!" Curry yelled loudly after scoring a goal. Although it was a little funny to match his "baby face", he still had momentum.Indeed, the Lakers have no way to strangle him at any cost, as they did last season.First of all, it doesn't make sense to do this at all. They don't have Curry now, and there is Durant, Durant + Thompson, there is no shortage of scoring points.At the same time, to do this, the Lakers will have to pay the No. 1 position to basically lose the role of passing organization and connection, and the price is also not small.After all, Curry is also a super scorer. How can you stop him easily without any blood?
It was okay last season, but it won't work this season. In fact, the Lakers tried it in the regular season, and the effect was completely different from last season.After spending such a high price, the effect obtained is not at all as expected.And the Warriors are not stupid. One season has passed, and they have already made detailed targets. Even without Durant, it is not so easy to block and kill.

As a defending team, your every move will be infiltrated by the research of teams in the league that are aiming to win the championship. How about three consecutive championships, one championship is more difficult than one?In addition to your own factors, external factors will also be greatly affected.

Even to be honest, Cole is still hoping that the Lakers will go to defend Curry to death now, which will consume their overall energy at the No. 1 position, and the Lakers' inside line will also be greatly restrained.Because the inside...needs a defender to feed the ball.Alphabet Song's weird "unconventional" ball-handling inside line is simply rare in history.Traditional insiders are impossible.

So the Lakers abolished the rest of the energy at the 1st position just to defend Curry, so Cole is sure to sweep Los Angeles 4-0 under the firepower of the Warriors.

Absolutely no joke.

The Lakers cut in the middle, Tang Qian dunked and scored.

The Lakers also took advantage of the inside. They scored 19 points in the first quarter and only had 27 points in total. The proportion of inside points is still very high.More than 70%!But there is a problem, that is the outside line of the Warriors. They scored 34 points in the first quarter of this game!This is when the Lakers are already chasing and intercepting and defending seriously.For the Warriors this season, it doesn't matter what defense is. Their overall strength and overall focus and unity are super strong. Together, they are not afraid of defense at all.Any defense will do.

Besides, now is the era of offense, and you can't be too brutal in hand-to-hand combat. After all, that era is over.

The second quarter of the substitute stage reflects the luxury of the Warriors, four star players, 3 offensive arrows, and these three offensive arrows are the kind of people who don't need to kill the basket.Can rely on projection to solve most of the problems.This also reduced Tang Qian's defensive ability at the basket to a minimum.

Once they entered the bench time last year, the Warriors were a bit overwhelmed, and they couldn't take much advantage, and were completely suppressed by the Lakers' iron barrel defensive lineup.There is no one point that can stand up and break the game with the ball.Now, no problem.Because Durant is here.He might be one of the best no-spacing shooters in league history.

Yes, unlike Curry, he is a tough shooter of the Joko type. He doesn't need any space and can also complete relatively stable shots.Moreover, he is still "Du Qichi", with a height and long arms, there is no way for you to defend him head-on.

He wants to facial shoot you, when he is physically fit, it depends on his own mood and touch.

After all, he is still a historical-level scorer, and there is nothing wrong with that. In the past, the Thunder could rely on the battle of attrition, which consumed Durant's physical energy and made his efficiency decline in the fourth quarter.After all, Westbrook shoots very well, and his ability to open up space is not good, so Durant's offensive space is relatively narrow.Basically, being double-teamed and defending with high intensity is common.

Durant's own physical fitness is not particularly good. If he does this, he will naturally have a different shooting percentage in the playoffs and regular season.

But the Warriors are different. There are too many historical-level shooters here, and the overall system is well-established. Durant will hardly be double-teamed and defended too strongly.Because you dare to do this, the Splash Brothers will help him tell you the ball he throws, if you do this, you are looking for death.Therefore, in the face of the comfort of the offensive space and the reduction of defensive pressure, Durant's historical singles ability has been infinitely expanded, one-on-one, not daring to double-team, you can see if he is fierce or not.

If no one in Choco dared to double-team... not only the data would be against the sky, but the efficiency would also be against the sky.

Jordan is the king of the average double-teaming rate of the outside line, no one can match it, Kobe is the king of the average double-teaming rate of the modern outside line, if you dare to play one-on-one before his Achilles tendon rupture... you will Was beaten and called Dad.In fact, this kind of super scorer and super single player in history has never had such an opportunity, because for them, double-teaming is commonplace.Durant used to be the same way, but now suddenly... it seems that the air in front of him is fresh, isn't it?

There is only one person who defends himself alone, and that is really, looking up at the bright moon and looking down at his hometown.

If it's the same with the Thunder, why should I come to Oakland, right?
So cool.

Yes, Durant said that the efficiency of the playoffs has dropped significantly compared to the regular season, and that refers to the situation of accepting the "normal defensive treatment" of super scorers and super singles.And for people like them, single defense... has never been a normal defensive treatment.No matter how dirty you are with Durant, you can't hack his scoring ability. If you defend against a scorer of this level alone, what will happen?Jordan Kobe can't give you the answer, but Durant can give you now.

Just three words... Shuangwaiwai.

Yes, it's so cool, it's worth the points, it's like going up to the fifth floor in one breath, it's effortless at all.

It's just for singles, because the Splash Brothers pulled it out to open up space, and Durant basically played one-on-one.He really didn't have the slightest problem to fight Ariza, and he didn't have too many moves, just a three-threat, and then one point, he got up and shot directly.brush ~ hit ~
This is also one of Durant's ultimate moves, a super facial shot, which is unreasonable at all. Even if Ariza is a defensive champion with an extremely long wingspan, it is useless.Not long after, there was another ball. Durant took a face-to-face shot and didn't ask for any pick-and-roll. For him, one-on-one is actually almost a point.

You doubt Durant's scoring ability in singles, you are completely nervous.

As soon as the Lakers went over to help defend a little bit, Durant passed the ball out. Durant has become a passer since he trained with James during the summer vacation.The same is true for the Warriors, averaging 5+ assists per game, which is enough.Coupled with his height and long arms, he has a wide field of vision, and he only needs to smash the ball out.This ball is, Butler just came over a little bit, he threw it out, and then you saw the Warriors' No. 2 position, "Buddha" Thompson, just like a machine, just catch the ball and shoot it.

Tang Shen's ability to shoot the ball may be stronger than Curry. He is just not as good as Curry in sports. He is the best in history in catch and shoot, including catch and face shots. choice.You give him a little space, or you don't need a space if you feel it, you can raise your hand and hit it.

brush ~ hit again ~
Curry went down to rest, and Durant and Thompson were there. It can be seen that Cole still pays attention to this series. Last year's 73 wins were swept away, which made him a little "grudge".So it is usually the time for Durant to bring the substitute alone, but Klay Thompson also went up to assist.This is really to beat the Lakers, there is no room for it.

And after Durant came, one of the biggest benefits is that the Warriors' running tactics are more calm.If you look at this ball, it is a typical pass-and-cut attack. The basketball starts to cut in from the wing at the top of the arc, transfers the ball in a triangle, and finally Livingston scores the ball with a layup.The Lakers are very passive here, because the Warriors are different from other teams. If you defend their tactical offense too much, you will fall into... You see, here comes the Lakers. This ball restricts the opponent's tactical movement .

It can be considered that the delay was very successful. The opponent did not find a particularly good offensive opportunity to conduct the ball this time, wasting a lot of offensive time in vain.If this was the previous Warriors team, they would be a little panicked, because except for Curry, the rest of the players don't have much confidence in playing such hard-working games.Even Curry, under the intensity of confrontation and defense in the playoffs, his confidence is not as good as in the regular season. Everyone has seen this last year.The regular season is indeed Ku Ritian, and the playoffs have dropped a notch.

It's still very strong, but compared to his regular season "Ritian", it's much worse.

At that time, the Warriors were afraid of this kind of tactic, running to death, but there was no chance of the ball.

The Cavaliers did the same with the Warriors back then, and the effect is still there.But it’s not working now, look at this ball, the Lakers’ defense is already very good, and the tactical movement on the opposite side is also running to death, but this ball, you can’t see much on the faces of the Warriors players of haste and confusion.Because they... have Durant now.

Yes, if the tactics can't be played out, give it to Durant and let him solve the problem.

This trick really made up for the biggest shortcoming of the Warriors before.

Weaknesses of insufficient attack and insufficient strong cast.

Durant didn't talk nonsense. A fake shot made Ariza fly away. Either Ariza's defense was too unsteady, or facing a super shooter like Durant, he may still be the strongest striker in history!This is not to look down on McGrady, but compared with Durant, McGrady's movements naturally win, but the efficiency and shooting percentage are not at the same level.As for Jordan Kobe, they will still use some technical moves, such as leaning back, to solve the problem. Although there is no room for shooting, it is still not as good as Durant's "simple and rough" situation that only needs to be straight up and down. of.

This is not a technical problem, but a problem of height and hardware. Durant is so fucking tall, and his wingspan is also at a level against the sky. If you talk about it, what else do you want to do?His natural physical condition was born for dry pulling.

With the historical level of soft touch and dry pull, he can solve most of the problems on the field.

As long as he has enough physical strength, he is invincible and invincible.

Swipe ~ beep beep ~ a direct forward, not only caused Ariza's defensive foul, but also directly scored the ball.

AND.ONE also made a steady hit from the free throw line, 2+1.In one round, all three points are taken.

Durant is really suitable for this Warriors team. He also got the offensive space and offensive opportunities he dreamed of in the Warriors, so now, he is an invincible point.It doesn't matter who guards him.A physical monster like James, with full horsepower, can't stop Durant from scoring on the defensive end.Just look at Durant and James' matchup data in the playoffs. In terms of scoring, there has never been a difference.

Ariza was either bad at guarding him, or just...unable to guard him.

Leonard can't hold back his dry shooting, let alone Ariza?

So Ariza was exhausted, under great pressure, and highly concentrated, but it didn't work at all.

This is what makes people feel depressed and depressed.

Fortunately, the Lakers also had Gasol on the court, scoring a lot of shots, and bought a lot of time for Tang Qian to rest this time.The Warriors are either really or completely invincible.Although their defense is indeed excellent, among the top three in the league, this refers specifically to their perimeter defense and transition defense, and their interior defense, which is their shortcoming.It is precisely because of this shortcoming that his defensive efficiency is among the top three in the league, not the first in the league.This problem, even if Durant came over, has not been properly resolved.

But there is no completely perfect team, and Cole doesn't care about this, because the biggest effect of this team is offense, not defense.The top three in the league in defensive efficiency is enough.Just be able to suppress the opponent's outside line.

Besides, he is not Mike D'Antoni. He has found a fatal loophole for the Lakers through this period of games and this period of series.And he will not let this opportunity go easily.

Last year you dared to shave our bald heads, I have to return it this year!

My name is Cole, Kobe's Ke, Michael Jordan's Er.

PS: A big chapter is here. I don’t know if there will be a tiebreaker in the finals. If not, G6 will be the finale.

The Warriors dynasty, the 5-year finals, may also come to an end.
