Chapter 1946 Are you blinded by our five-star light?
The Warriors and Lakers have played so tightly almost every time, and the start is wonderful.A total of 10 people and 9 All-Stars are playing, can it not be good?Covington, fainted from crying in the toilet.He's not a star player now.He always felt that he was overwhelmed by the star power of these people on the field.Being in the Galaxy Battleship, but not a star, is such a mentality.

too difficult.

But tonight's situation is a bit different, because the Lakers lack a star and Butler has not recovered, so the situation is a bit unbearable for a while.The main reason is that the problem of defense suddenly magnified. Without Butler, the previous defensive rotation dropped a notch.Although now is the era of free movement, it is not easy to delay without the ball, but it is possible to follow with the body, and it is also possible to use the consciousness, but it is not possible to use hand movements to do some delays like before, including instantaneous hand obstruction. , Pulling the jersey, this is absolutely not allowed now.Including the person on the knee is gone.The defense has basically become, downright "clean".

That is to say, only if the opponent's RSBQ is not destroyed at all, that is, the balance of speed, rhythm, reaction rate, etc., especially the legal position, because the NBA is now a league that encourages offense, so offensive players often violate the legal position of defensive players. You will be fined, but in this era, especially when the free movement rule first came out, if you want to violate the legal position of the offensive player, it is basically a foul.So the current defense requires footsteps + rotation + assist defense and supplementary defense.

In a completely "clean" situation, even the best defensive players will find it difficult to defend their opponents.Especially for off-ball cutting and off-ball movement, these good players originally needed the entire team to defend, but now there are fewer delays and obstacles, and higher requirements are also put forward for the team's defense rotation.And this kind of requirement, the average player can't meet the standard at all, and the consideration of comprehensive defensive ability is too high.Even if your defensive attitude is very active and you cannot integrate into the entire team's off-ball defensive system, then you are still blinded.Besides, what team is the Warriors?They are the best team in history to play off the ball. There is no such team. Unless their own hands are not good, otherwise, their defensive requirements are almost abnormal.

It was difficult for the Lakers when Butler was still there, but now that Butler is gone, Kuzma is facing it, which is completely a defensive loophole.

This is not a problem with his attitude, but a lack of ability. Butler is a defensive elite for many years, and Kuzma is still a rookie in the second grade, and defense is not something he is good at.So in this era of overall defense, the emergence of his problem made the Lakers face the strongest team without the ball in history like Yu Yuyong, and suddenly played very passively in the first quarter.

And if there is a problem at one point, under the current rules, it is difficult for you to make a strong delay, so the burden of supplementary defense and rotation will increase.You can see that this ball is a typical one. The opponent made a V-shaped cut, and then the top pick-and-roll. Curry cut in with the ball. The Lakers Westbrook immediately switched defenses when he was blocked.Thompson's off-the-ball is undoubtedly top-notch. Compared with holding the ball, his off-the-ball ability is the real threat. Kuzma is too tender, and he didn't expect the opponent to suddenly switch from roaming to rapid cutting.Immediately, he lost his position. At this time, he can only continue to defend. There is no way that the Warriors are a five-star team. Everyone can shoot three-pointers. No matter whether there is a game or not on the day, we must practice the three-pointer.Practice for half an hour after the game is over.

So their three-pointers are in good shape this season, and the only bad one is Green.But Green feels okay tonight, which is bad, and there is no way to take advantage of any loopholes.Tang Qian can only be pulled out to defend honestly. Cousins' three-pointer is not fake. You can't let it go.The three-pointer is not his occasional operation, but a routine operation.After coming to the Warriors, Cole has strengthened his three-point shooting and the number of shots.The point is, his injury recovery is much better than that of the original time and space, and the degree of the injury is far lighter than that of the original time and space, so he has been with the team since the start of the training camp, and he has already integrated into it.

It is completely different from the impact of injuries in the original time and space, the kind of stop and go, lack of team response and tacit understanding.

And Tang Qian went out, so the defense would be difficult.Thompson can hit the basket directly with this ball.It is necessary to continue to make up the defense, but this time, Thompson immediately sent the ball out, and Durant raised his hand on the outside and hit a three-pointer.Swipe ~ precise network access.There are many similar situations, and the Lakers' defense tonight is obviously a little bit overwhelmed.In addition, Westbrook is not good at defending the off-ball system. Curry is sure to go it alone, but will Curry do this?Of course it is impossible. Curry is a former space-time quasi-super giant who is famous for playing off the ball. He has won two consecutive MVPs. He has never relied on singles and reckless play to play.Seeing Westbrook, he knew that his body was not at the same level as the opponent, so he quickly transferred.On the contrary, because of the Warriors' excellent supplementary defense, Westbrook often suffers when he plays Curry, especially when the Lakers lack precise marksmanship.It made him feel a little uncomfortable.As a strong team that has integrated offense and defense for many years, the Warriors have a lot of experience in dealing with Westbrook. Westbrook's hit rate against Curry in the original time and space is only more than 2%, which is enough to explain the problem.Two people are players in the same position, so the comparison of data is still of great reference significance.

Kuzma didn't make this three-pointer. His original three-pointer was not stable enough, only around 3%, and the Warriors' rotation speed was too fast, and he was interfered a lot.I haven't made a single shot tonight, so that the Warriors can target him appropriately. Anyway, the Warriors' defense is flexible enough, mainly because of Russell Westbrook who double-teamed and cut in.Westbrook's three-pointers are so-so. He is the kind of top shot or no top shot, and his hit rate is similar.So the bigger threat still comes from his impact hitting the basket.The average person really can't defend against him alone. His naked burst ability is estimated to be among the strongest players in NBA history. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to change direction.So defending him is to shrink and help defend.As soon as he shrinks, the situation is different immediately. Westbrook's shooting rate also drops sharply. After all, he is not the No. 23 of the Clippers. He can support several people by himself and still maintain his shooting rate.If there are too many people, he will die.This is also one of his biggest flaws in leading the team alone.

And Green, with his big mouth, kept talking to stimulate Westbrook, wanting to get Westbrook to the top, and the latter is really the one who is easily irritated, so in a fit of anger, he continued to kill solo.The cut into it was indeed unstoppable, but after entering it, it was messed up.Free movement rules, never for players with the ball.So after going in, there was a huff, and Westbrook hit the ball again, bang, hit the iron.

Westbrook broke through again on the next ball, and still passed the first floor, perfect straight breakthrough, perfect explosive power, perfect start, no pick-and-roll at all, just a one-step pass.Curry can't help it. Facing this kind of body monster, he can only lament that his body is too unpopular.However, defense is not my thing alone.Especially when dealing with someone like you who doesn't have a long shot, everyone knows that you will rush in. Westbrook is full of anger and the speed is very fast. When you pull it up, it's like Nezha stepped on a hot wheel and is about to fly a lot. He rushed to the basket, vented his anger, but suddenly, the car overturned.Then the whistle blew, and when you look again, the referee directly gave Westbrook an offensive foul.It turned out that Green had already stood there and waited. In the past, it was a direct foul that made Westbrook return without success again.

When the opponent came over, he took advantage of the Lakers' defensive loopholes to attack, opened the five corners, called out Tang Qian, and then passed directly to the cutting system. Finally, Curry slipped in and hit a throw.In the past, Westbrook actually pulled up against Curry and shot, and then hit the iron...

Playing with anger, if Westbrook doesn't shoot long-range shots, it is still very good, but when playing with anger, he has to shoot top three-pointers, and his shooting percentage is quite dismal.Not everyone can be Kobe.Even Kobe, who is old, has a limited hit rate for such shots.However, the league environment at his peak didn't have so many vacancies, and he needed such a strong shot, but in this era, he doesn't need it.You pass the ball, you run the ball, and the free movement rule is not just for the Lakers.The same is true when the Warriors defend.

There is nothing to do about Westbrook's upper fault, it is his obvious shortcoming after all.

It is also an obstacle that prevents him from going further in the No. 1 position.

And this offense-to-defense mode is also the strength of the Warriors. In the past, it was a rush shot while the opponent was not in position, and then the basketball entered the opponent's net bag very unscientifically and unreasonably.No way, Larry Brown quickly replaced Westbrook. Westbrook above needs to be put on the bench and pressed.On Rose, but Rose is now no match for Westbrook on both the offensive and defensive ends. The only thing he wins is the long shot he practiced hard last season, so the Los Angeles Lakers' defense fell again and was caught by the Warriors. Then they bombed indiscriminately.

At the end of the first quarter, the rotation was about to start, and they had already led the Lakers by 12 points.The rhythm of the Lakers was a little confused by the opponent's start.Originally, I wanted to go back to the bench time. After all, there is Tang Qian, a physical behemoth who doesn't need to end the game. This is also a magic weapon for the Lakers to fight against many strong teams in the past.But you have policies and others have countermeasures. After so many years, some strong teams have also found countermeasures.For example, a team like the Warriors, which has as many stars as dogs, directly arranges to keep more than three stars, leaving you with nothing to do.This is not the original single-core and traditional dual-core era. In that era, Tang Qian’s advantage may become an invincible attribute, because the opposing team has no way to draw so many stars to compete, and the physical fitness is not enough to force it. In a dilemma, there is no solution.But in the multi-giant era, the situation is different. Even if you take a few breaks, you can still keep a few on the court.In this way, at least in terms of scoring, they don't have to worry about it.And the rotation time can stabilize the score, that's enough.

When all the main players come up again, it will be the time to reap the final victory of the game.

In this period, it's not that Tang Qian didn't stand up and score, but the opponent just gave him a match. Compared with the previous lineup, the Lakers' bench lineup has weakened to a certain extent.The main reason is that many people are getting older, and the decline can be said to be visible to the naked eye.A few years ago, Gasol was still a star-level player, and it was still good when he declined last season, but after being injured this season, he further declined, his physical fitness became less and less useful, and he began to gradually lose his previous connection with Tang Qian. .Deron is also one year older, and his ability has further declined.Wade is okay, but he doesn't have a basket. Against this kind of top team, some of them can't open up space.Beverly does have a basket, but unfortunately, except for three-pointers, his other abilities are not good, and he is too short, and he is easily beaten by the Warriors' misplaced substitutions.It's not that Larry Brown didn't replace Beverly, but it doesn't have the same effect as before. Durant didn't say that you can hold it down every time. After adjusting your mentality and not competing with Beverly, you can directly shoot in the face , This kind of ball is useless even if Beverly puts all his energy into breastfeeding.Even Thompson can rely on back shots to create a height difference and make steady shots.

Livingston's defensive strength in the regular season can't see a decline, and his decline needs to be seen in the playoffs.

In addition, there are many stars in the family, and a few can be added to the substitute rotation lineup. The original bench advantage of the Lakers is now slowly disappearing.

This is the real NBA. People are constantly researching and improving. It really makes you do this all the time. People don't think about it at all?Do you think that people's tens of millions of beautiful knives are taken for nothing?Now that Butler is missing, the hard-working Kuzma needs to be replaced, and the substitute is even more lacking.Nick Young is also seriously aging, and Ross and Yi Jianlian are relatively stable.But this is obviously not enough.Because there are several stars on the opposite side who are playing in the rotation, this unreasonable "showing off their wealth" style of play makes the Lakers a little helpless.

They can't guard against Tang Qian scoring, but he is also scoring, so you can't guard against it, that's fine.Who is afraid of whom?This year's five-star Warriors are very confident.So under normal circumstances, the first rotation time, which should have narrowed the score difference, is now actually taken by the opponent by an extra point.A mistake by Nick Young led to 6 consecutive points scored by the opponent.One of the three-pointers was a 2+1.So when the main players slowly start to return, you will see that they are already 13 points behind.

49-36, it's only halfway through the second quarter.The Lakers were beaten by their opponents because of their poor performance tonight, and the overall state was suppressed.Tang Qian alone can still have an absolute advantage in the interior, but if he can't open the exterior, his offensive pressure inside will become greater and greater.After playing for a while, the Lakers may also feel a little pressure on the outside line, and they really want to shoot in to help Tang Qian make a clearance, but sometimes it backfires.

There is no way, 15 points, and another timeout is required.

When you go down, you can hear the live commentator at Oracle Stadium say loudly:
see it?This is the brilliance of the five-star connection in our Bay Area this year.Los Angeles people, are you blind?

I……

I can really say it.
