Chapter 681 Curry

The Lakers had won against the Warriors once before the start of the game, but at that time the Warriors' lineup was not complete, and the new players did not have a good understanding, so they were fatally hit by the former.But after more than ten games, the Warriors returned from injuries, and the tacit understanding between each other became stronger and stronger. It can be said that this team is a rare self-cultivated strong team since the millennium.

His team building model is similar to that of the Spurs. Before Durant arrived, the main core was basically cultivated by himself. This is very rare when the later generations become crazy.Although it is inevitable to embark on this trend in the end, it is also Durant's group, and has nothing to do with Curry and others.

Because that's the difference between outsiders and non-outsiders.

Curry is the same as Wade. He was already on this team and has been growing up with him.
The mainstream view of the American media is that James and Bosh are in a group and have nothing to do with Wade.

Although James has always emphasized that grouping has existed since ancient times, and even cited the examples of Boston, Lakers, Bulls, and Houston, this theory was ridiculed by Charles Barkley.The latter's one sentence hit James' "death spot".

The top five players in each position hugged each other in their 20s, which has never happened in history.

And James' words are obviously a bit thoughtless, because Boston's eight consecutive victories have always grown up in Boston. Similar to the Bulls Dynasty, the main core has not changed much.The Lakers also got Kareem Abdul-Jabbar first, and then used the draft to get the "Magician" after 5 seasons. Similar to the OK combination, the Lakers also got the pure rookie Kobe through the draft first, and then dug O'Neill.In other words, these teams at least have core players who were trained by themselves, and they were not at their peak from the beginning.After all, high-ranked rookies include the No. [-] pick, and there have never been a few people who have lost in the history of the NBA.

In addition, none of them have a peak fit, including the time of the Rockets. The average age is older than the Boston Big Three, so it is still the same sentence, it is not impossible to team up, veterans team up, the league will never attract people's verbal criticism , because he has been fighting all his life, fighting for the championship in his later years, it is natural and easy to understand.But grouping at the peak, this kind of influence is too bad. Use the words of Draymond Green in the championship parade after winning the championship in later generations: Hey, man, you have never joined a super team. You have created a precedent for forming a super team. ah.

Even the legendary coach Larry Brown said that the bad atmosphere of teamwork at the peak has affected college basketball.

Coupled with the criticism of countless celebrities and retired stars, you know what the situation is.

And Zhan Huang's move also dug a hole for his future, making it possible to form a more perverted super warrior.

So in the end whether this decision is a blessing or a curse, Zhan Huang probably doesn't like it in his heart.

But the choice has been made, and you have to pay the price for your choice.

For better or worse.

The Lakers still played a full-court strategy in this game, because Tang Qian insisted on fighting fast breaks and scoring with the Warriors, which is not the correct way.Coupled with the recent winning streak of the Lakers, D'Antoni can only choose to nod in agreement.

This game was broadcast live on TNT across the United States, so many people watched it. The Staples Center was full and the stars were still shining.

At present, the Lakers are 9 wins and 3 losses, and the Warriors are 8 wins and 4 losses, and the gap between the two is only half a game. If the Warriors win this game, they will replace the Lakers and become the new No.3 in the Western Conference. .The Western Division has always been fiercely fought, and any small win difference can determine the final ranking order.

The Lakers had a 3-game winning streak before this game, and the Warriors also had a 3-game winning streak.

Curry still remembers the "loss" of last season. He looked at the entire Lakers team with fire in his eyes.

Compared with last season, this season he has more accurate shots and a higher shooting percentage, and the improvement of the team's tacit understanding and the reinforcement of the lineup have also made Curry's ability more prominent.The number 30 of the Warriors is different from people like Kobe Bryant and James Jordan. In fact, his personal singles ability is not good. ESPN data shows that the data of one-on-one singles is only in the middle and upper reaches of the outside of the league.But once he is given the right team, the right system, and the right tactics, he will unleash the most destructive power in history.

Tang Qian actually caught Curry's eyes, but he didn't take it too seriously, because he had worked with Curry in the 15-16 season in the tower, and he didn't feel how domineering this little man was.At least, he didn't find that this guy has the ability to score 30+ points per game, and he is also known as the most efficient super scorer in history.

This is actually a big mistake.

In that lineup, Curry lacked the system bonus, the threat was greatly damaged, and the rules also greatly restricted him. Moreover, the team he was facing was still an impossible team in this world, so Tang Qian didn't feel his strength. fear.

Both starting lineups, Lakers PG Steve Blake SG Kobe Bryant SF Wesley Johnson PF Jordan Hill C Tang Qian.The Warriors' starting five: PG Curry, SG Thompson, SF Andre Iguodala, PF David Lee, C Andrew Bogut.

There is no difficulty in scrimmage. Although Bogut is 7 feet tall, he has mediocre athletic ability after all, and he is not Tang Qian's opponent at all.The Lakers attacked first, and still insisted on winning streak. Kobe started the game first, causing help defense and double-teaming, and then connected and passed the ball.

Facing the third-year Klay Thompson, Kobe was relentless. At the beginning of the game, he broke through for a layup and succeeded in pulling the bar. After his physical data recovered to the peak, Kobe broke through and Thompson couldn't defend at all.In fact, before Kobe was injured, he had never missed a single shot against an opponent. Last season, his opponents were blown out in all statistics, and he dominated both offense and defense. After 4 games, the opponent's highest shooting percentage was 44.4%, the lowest was 2% in 37.5 games, and only 41.7% in the remaining game. On average, Kobe's defense against Klay Thompson last season was extremely successful. All the offense and defense were blown up.

The same is true of Kobe in the original time and space, but after being injured, he was pulled away, and he was no longer strong in matchups.

Klay Thompson has grown for another year this season, but unfortunately his weight and tonnage have also increased a lot. Unfortunately, he faced the super-peak Kobe.The Lakers faced the Warriors in the second game of the season. Kobe scored 48 points, including 20 points in the fourth quarter, directly crushing the former and helping the Lakers secure the victory.

And in that game, Kobe hadn't fully adapted to his body, so everything was restrained. Now, basically, if you don't have the level of defense, then Kobe can easily blow you up.Klay Thompson's defense has always been more stable, more hardworking, and more active. Unfortunately, the upper limit of ability and talent is not high, so no matter how hard he works, he has not reached the minimum level of the defense.

Above average is Klay Thompson's defense, but sometimes he can defend against bursts, which is hard to say.

The Warriors attacked, and after passing the ball for a while, David Lee made a mid-range jumper.

2-2 draw.

On the offensive end of the Lakers, Kobe scored another goal. After turning around and passing Thompson, he stopped and jumped into the net.

4-2.

The Warriors' Bogut made an inside shot and was blocked by Tang Qian's cap. The Lakers attacked again. Kobe missed a mid-range shot. Tang Qian squeezed Bogut to get an offensive rebound. Dunk into the basket.By the way, it also caused the latter's defensive foul.

But the free throw didn't go to the basket as expected.

Seven or eight minutes later, the Lakers gradually opened up the score. After Kobe scored 8 points, he began to attract defensive passes. Jordan Hill got a lot of open space. He also seized this opportunity and scored consecutively. The Warriors were forced to call a timeout.

21-15, the Warriors' offense was not going well, because the Lakers played on the ball all the time, and unless there was a particularly good opportunity, they would not easily enter the sports game. This made the Bay Area people very uncomfortable and played without rhythm.

The offensive rhythm is a very particular thing in professional teams. If you lose your own offensive rhythm, it will definitely be greatly affected as a whole.

But Mark Jackson is not a famous coach, he is a head coach in the transitional period, and he can't bring the Warriors to a new peak.So after the timeout, the Warriors still didn't change much. The Lakers led by 10 points in the first quarter and entered the second quarter.
