Chapter 1770 The start is suppressed, Feng Shui turns
Lakers vs. Warriors, Oracle Stadium.

This year is also the last year for the Warriors in Oracle. Next year they will move to the Chase Center in San Francisco, so this year they also want to leave a perfect ending for the fans in Oakland.That is to lead the team to win this year's Larry O'Brien Cup.So as soon as you enter the playoffs this year, you will find that the state of the Warriors is completely different from the regular season.

The fighting power is really displayed at once.

Before they played casually in the regular season, everything was for the present.

From the toss, it can be seen that the Warriors' morale is high today. Tang Qian almost didn't fight for the ball. After Tang Qian slapped the ball in front of him, the Warriors got it.This shows that Tang Qian's scrimmage is not as easy as it used to be, and he can find his teammates' positions during the scramble.The Warriors came first.

The Lakers' starting lineup is Tang Qian + Yi Jianlian + Kuzma + Thomas Jr. + Rondo, while the Warriors are four-star + McGee.

Tianchao Sports Station.

"Director Zhang, what do you think the Warriors' offense will be like at the beginning? Oh, it's a goal? It's a three-pointer. Tonight's Curry feels like it from the beginning." Meteor Shower said Wei Bing Don Bryant said: "When you play the Warriors, you must defend their three-pointers well, otherwise it will be very difficult to play, and you must not let their three-pointers shoot away. This is a top priority. Heavy. Oh, look at this ball, this pass is too random, the Warriors are still Curry, and another three-pointer came over? Go in again! Curry made two three-pointers at the beginning, this is me As I said just now, we must defend the Warriors' three-pointers well, otherwise, if they let them shoot, it will be a very fast situation, and the Lakers can't start too carelessly."

That said, but the Lakers themselves were stopped at the beginning, because Curry on the opposite side, I don’t know if he was on drugs, and he scored 8 consecutive points in the opening game, including 2 three-pointers. This guy, is he really injured and just came back from injury?Why does it feel the same as going to the enlightenment?

so fierce?
The start of the Lakers can be seen, the focus and seriousness are not as good as their opponents, and the degree of ferocity is not as good. That set may not be useful now.For example, after this timeout, Larry Brown wanted to continue the earliest method of defending Curry. Two years ago, the Lakers completely defended Curry, which made his shooting rate extremely low. In the end, the 2 wins became a joke.Relying on Rondo and Beverly, they continued to defend and force the whole court.

This year Curry suffered a lot of ravages, but now...

Things are different after all.

It is true that the Lakers went to the audience to bite Curry crazily, but it was not for nothing, and Cole is not a fool. After so long, he has already studied the countermeasures.You have to hold down Curry to catch and dribble in the backcourt, right?That's fine, we Curry can just be a bait, and the rest of us can just go up and dribble.He asked everyone in the Warriors to practice this extra, just to prevent the Lakers from engaging in this wave, so now facing them again, the Warriors can be said to be unhurried and dribbled the ball with ease halftime.Then, seeing that the backcourt could not suppress the Warriors, the Lakers wanted to complete the pass and bite of Stephen Curry in the frontcourt, which was also a usual trick before.Even if Durant is here, this trick is still effective in suppressing Curry.It's a pity, Beverly is still very tough defensively, but Rondo's... defense has declined significantly compared to before.

This makes Curry still able to score goals, still able to score, and unable to block.

Rondo was the first defense in 2016, and Rondo was the second defense in 2017. Now?After returning to the team from injury, it is obvious that the first defense and the second defense cannot be maintained.It's an ordinary defensive elite level, but it can't reach the defensive level.And this defense is very good for ordinary players and even ordinary stars, and the effect is good.It's a pity that you are facing the peak Curry. In this way, one will ebb and flow, and one will enter Curry's performance time.Curry has succeeded in consecutive singles, and the previous Lakers' set is now used to suppress him, which is already ineffective.Even in Beverly, the Warriors are worth it. Curry used pick-and-rolls and off-ball screens to run wildly. The Lakers used to have a very complete defensive system to prevent rotation and delay, but this set has long since disappeared. prestige.At least Thomas Jr. is a person who can’t be counted on defense. Kuzma is only motivated, but his defensive ability has not been said to be very good. Yi Jianlian is also an ordinary defensive level. His hard work may be limited, which is an average level in the league. Good and bad.Can such a defensive lineup be compared with the defensive lineups of last year and the year before?
I can't.

It used to be called the super infinite switch defense lineup, but now it has already disintegrated.

And I've said it many times, defending an off-ball master alone is absolutely not enough, no matter who you are, it won't work.When people don't have the ball, the whole team is cooperating. Can you stop it without the cooperation of the whole team?Beverly also tried his best, you can see it, but it's still not enough, it's still a lot worse.The rest of the Lakers can no longer give Beverley enough off-ball defensive support.

So this trick was completely torn up by Curry at the beginning of the game. The elementary school students of the Warriors told the Lakers with practical actions that this trick is useless to me now.If you continue like this, I will blow you up and show you.The situation has been completely reversed. In the past, Curry was exhausted until he was exhausted. Now because of the poor effect, it is the No. 1 position on the Lakers side. The consumption is not directly proportional to the income. This is really impossible to continue.Larry Brown could only call a timeout and choose to make adjustments.

If this continues, it will be detrimental to the Lakers.

Curry held his head high and clapped his hands with his teammates one by one. The elated feeling made Curry and the entire Warriors team feel refreshed, and the team's desire to win became more vigorous and intense.The Lakers played very passively during this period. At the beginning of the game, they were hit hard on the head by their opponents, and they almost lost their minds.They re-signed Bogut this year, which is one year earlier than the original time and space, and it is also to completely liberate the Warriors' shooter line.Cole knew that as long as the Warriors' shooter line opened, it would be unstoppable.Neither can the Lakers.

The Lakers' previous method was to suppress their team's scoring and rhythm, and then use positional warfare to grind the Warriors to death as much as possible, but now, this season, they can no longer do it.Therefore, Cole believes that this year is the best chance for the Warriors to break through the Los Angeles Lakers.Cole began to make constant adjustments. He used the original pick-and-roll team of Bogut + Green for a while, and various mobile screens emerged one after another. He really found the feeling of being invincible in the pick-and-roll in 2016.Although Bogut's athletic ability and personal offensive and defensive ability are not as good as 2 years ago, his pick-and-roll and screen awareness, and his ability in this area, still have not diminished in the slightest.You can see this by looking at the 2019 Basketball World Cup in the original time and space. Bogut is still the top in the world in this regard.Australia relied on him to reach the back.

What makes Larry Brown most crazy is that he no longer has enough lineup and cards to suppress the Warriors' style of play.

It can only be supported by forcing Beverly + Covington to cooperate with Tang Qian, but the effect is still not good.As long as there is a loophole in this era, it is fatal.There are too many people who can open up space, especially the Golden State Warriors, which is simply a model for the league in this regard.Then the Warriors replaced Curry with Iguodala in the second half of the first quarter. This is to let... Iguodala play the [-]st position? ? ?

What is this operation? ? ?
Don't understand?It doesn't matter if you don't understand, this is Kerr's adjustment, and it is also a set of countermeasures specially thought up for the Lakers lineup.Although Iguodala's offensive threat seems to be down when he plays the 1st position, he is not as good as Curry, but Iguodala is tall and strong, and Iguodala's passing is also very good. Non-ball-handlers, people who don't stick to the ball, have averaged 3-4 assists per game in the Warriors over the years, which is very good.In addition, the Warriors' passing pivot point is not Curry, so this change is not a big problem for the Warriors.

Instead, Iguodala was used to storm the Lakers' No. 1 position! ! !
Beverly won't have any advantage against Iguodala, who is more physical, especially if he falls to the low position, even if he works hard, the effect will not be good.Forget it, they actually replaced Livingston, and then used Livingston to continue playing back.It is tantamount to using Livingston + Iguodala to play consecutive backs to eat the Lakers' No. 1 position.Whoever's turn gets on.Livingston is still very strong this season and has not declined. His shooting percentage in the playoffs is close to 54%. Yuan Shikong has hit more than 10 goals in a row in the finals this year.In nearly 20 years, he is the third person to do it.Let me tell you a horror story. Many people may have forgotten that this year's Livingston is super strong. Do you know how many hits it has?Not high, just 86.7%.What?You think I made a mistake, no, it's impossible, it's just that high, the Warriors' shooting percentage is No.1.Although he doesn't shoot much, he is also an outsider, and it is very important that he is not a cake-eating insider like Jordan Capela Jr., his role in the Warriors is more of a back-up single player.

Yes, a post-up single player with a hit rate of almost 9%, even if he averaged only 7-8 points per game, this contribution is really too scary.You have to think about it, after all, he only plays so much time in a game. 16 minutes, this data, plus about 3 rebounds and 2 assists, what else do you want?This kind of super bench can be played up, and the price is only a few million, which is simply a giant treasure.

The joint attack of Livingston and Iguodala hit the low No. 1 point, which made the Lakers fall into a downturn from the beginning.

41-25 in a single quarter, already 16 points behind.

In this wave of head-on blows, the Warriors played hard enough, just like the Lakers played them at the beginning a few years ago.

Feng Shui is going to take turns.
