87-89, the Warriors led by 2 points.

For the Lakers, Kobe went it alone. He would break through when he got the ball, but the Warriors were like many small iron nails that followed everywhere. No matter how Kobe walked, he was always pestered by people, and he was absolutely not allowed to shoot in a one-on-one situation.There is an obvious change, that is, the Warriors used Green to become the core of the defense. This seems ridiculous, because Green's stature is really too short, but soon, the Los Angeles Lakers discovered that something was wrong. .

The number 23 of the Warriors is not only good at defense, but he is also very good at "commanding people".

Compared with David Lee on the court before, it is completely two defensive qualities.

You mean attacking firepower?Green is indeed not as good as David Lee in the low post and mid-range, but does the Warriors have David Lee's scoring points?There is no shortage at all.Moreover, Green has 3 points, a master of defense, and can really defend from one to five. In addition, he can constantly adjust the team's temporary defensive formation and strategy according to the opponent's attack. This ability is Steve Kerr. What I want most.

Don’t think this is an exaggeration. This is the evaluation that Cole himself gave to Green later. He is the kind of rough guy who seems to be passionate on the surface, as if he can only yell. In fact, he is similar to Garnett, and he is very smart in his heart. , if you want to treat him as a fool, you will definitely fall hard.It is said that the offensive firepower of the Warriors in the future is ∞, but how many people know that the Warriors are the only four teams in the past 40 years that have both offensive and defensive efficiency in the league's top two in a single season?The significance of this data has been ignored by people.And the team's "integration of offense and defense" is Cole's pursuit and the real charm of the "Death Five".It is by no means a simple offensive explosion.If someone understands this way, then he must be a fake fan, neither studying statistics nor watching football seriously, just talking nonsense.

You must know that this is one of the only four teams in 40 years, and its strength is definitely not fake.It can be compared with the Bulls in the 4-95 season and the Magic in the 96-09 season.It is worth mentioning that among the 10 seats, the Warriors occupy 4 seats, namely the Warriors in the 2-14 season and the Warriors in the 15-16 season.Therefore, Cole used his experience in the Bulls Dynasty to refine the team law that he thought was the strongest, that is, "the team's offense and defense are integrated."

He monopolizes it twice by himself. In 2 years, throughout the ages, there has only been one person to this extent.

So, why is Cole a genius in the coaching world?Here it is.

His goal is to build the strongest team, break through the boundaries of the ancient sages, and then win the championship and get soft.

At this point, no matter whether it is data analysis or pure honor analysis, he is not black.

But it's too early to say he surpassed "Zen Master" Phil Jackson or the "72-win Chicago".Because of the Chicago Bulls in the 95-96 season, they were the only team in NBA history with the highest offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency within 40 years.In this regard, Kerr is not close. The Warriors he led are only second in the league in defense every time. They have not yet been able to challenge the status of the "double first" and "true offensive and defensive team" of the Chicago Bulls in the 95-96 season.

But Cole still has a chance to set a record. Besides, he has more goods twice in his career, which has established his status as a famous coach.

Can quickly integrate an ordinary playoff team into this after taking over, the more you look at the advanced data analysis, the more frightened you are.

This guy is likely to be the biggest contributor to the Warriors, the biggest boss.

For several consecutive rounds, Kobe's shooting began to decline significantly. He made 4 of 1 shots. If he hadn't forcibly thrown one in and scored a 2+1, then the Lakers' No. 24 team would have the lowest few shots since the peak. round.In the words of Warriors commentator Bob Gerrard: The iron gates of the Bay Area have finally succeeded in closing the siege, nailing the Mamba snake in the City of Angels!
Kobe was a little annoyed, but tonight, his anger was not completely released positively, because the next 2 balls were 2 for 0 shots, and 6 for 1 shots in a wave. Very rare.But if you watch this game carefully, you will find that Kobe's shooting percentage is justifiable, even taken for granted.

Why do you say that, because he has been playing one-on-three or even one-on-four for a long time. Under the command of Draymond Green, the Warriors closed in more smoothly and smoothly. Kobe is strong, and he also You can score some one-shot goals, but if you do this every time, no one will hit a higher percentage.

It doesn't matter whether it is the peak Jordan or the peak O'Neal, it is the same, and the ending cannot be changed.

After all, this is the NBA, and this is the highest hall of basketball. The people who can enter may be divided into grades, but without exception, they were once geniuses from the outside world.You're not defying defense, you're defying basketball.

One-on-one and one-on-two-on-three, the offensive pressure and difficulty of attack are completely different, which shows a geometric increase.

So even if Kobe enters "The.Zone", he can't break this game, because the Warriors' defense has begun to change compared to the first half.

Cole's "Kobe Rules" are also aimed at Kobe, one by one, clear and to the point.

Kobe fell into the defensive trap of the Warriors. If he continues to play like this, the Lakers will only lose more and more, and they will lose.

But after the score became 90-98, Kobe felt bad. After all, he was not the 25-year-old Kobe. Over the years, his growth, in addition to his skills, also has his heart and spirit.In the next round, Kobe began to use the breakthrough to distribute the ball, allowing teammates with open shots on the outside to make shots.

But things are still in Cole's calculations, because the "Kobe Law" is similar to the "Jordan Law", and they are both specially used to deal with one-man teams.At least attacking a one-man team.Right now, this Lakers team is like this. Except for Kobe, everyone else's ability to score independently is very poor. For example, Ryan Kelly missed the shot, and the Warriors immediately launched a defensive counterattack with the ball.This is also Cole's arrangement. No matter how the Lakers press the rhythm and play the position, he asks the Warriors to play fast and not fall into the rhythm of grinding the position like the opponent.

After Klay Thompson used the pick-and-roll, he made a three-pointer from the top arc, the basketball hit the net, and the Warriors scored a hundred points.

90-101, this time, the psychological pressure on the Lakers is heavy. Originally, this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals played well in the downwind.No way, Mike D'Antoni called a timeout.

Looking at the flustered faces of most of the Lakers players, D'Antoni did not insist on promoting "7 seconds or less", because he also discovered that the opposite team is simply a team born for "small balls".It is not much worse than the peak Suns that I have led, and, the difference is that they still seem to have a very strong defense.After the No. 23 came up, although the statistics were not outstanding, he was a perfect puzzle compared to David Lee, and he solved the biggest defensive weakness in the "small ball tactics" at once.

If I had such a person back then, alas, forget it, his offensive ability is not as good as Amare's, and if it is reversed, the offense will be weakened a lot.

For the first time, this is the first time that Mike D'Antoni has sincerely admired a head coach in sports warfare and small ball tactics.He had always thought that he was the strongest in this coaching style, but unexpectedly, such a young man suddenly appeared in front of him.

He's a bit comparing and a bit frustrated.

But fortunately, his mind is still clear, knowing that with this Lakers team, it is impossible to bombard the opponent, so...

Continuing to strengthen the whole battle is the possibility of winning.

After all, D'Antoni's job as the head coach for so many years was not in vain. He calmed down the depressed mood of the Lakers players, then walked to No. 29's side and said, "Hot, can you improve your rebounding a little bit? It's offensive, because you've done enough and good enough. But now, we need more offensive opportunities, you know?"

Tang Qian nodded, but as D'Antoni said, it's not that he didn't try his best. The low defensive rebounds fell within his range, and he basically never let his opponent get them.At present, the total number of rebounds has exceeded 15 times. No matter how you look at it, it is a very good personal rebound data.

"I know this is a bit embarrassing for you, but without stronger rebounding support, Kobe may not have much impact, but for other Lakers players, the impact cannot be underestimated." D'Antoni said: "This means that when they shoot, they have Have self-confidence."

"This means that they... still have the courage and courage to continue the next shot."

"Now it's not enough for Bryant to score points. You have to go up to help and provide more support with rebounds."

"I will try my best, sir." Tang Qian finally nodded and agreed, maybe because the previous wins were relatively smooth, so No. 29 is a bit used to winning with 80%~100% performance.However, he obviously forgot that the Lakers had an easy schedule before, and they hadn't encountered any real seeded teams along the way. The only few games happened to be the absence of the opponent's main force, so they easily harvested and won.

The problems of this Lakers team will become more and more serious in the future.

It’s not that 80%~100% is laziness. In fact, the intensity of the NBA’s schedule is the highest among the four major leagues in North America. Therefore, during such a long schedule, players must learn to properly conserve their physical reserves.Otherwise, if you fight too hard, fight too exaggeratedly, you will be easily injured, and even if you enter the playoffs, you will use up your strength and be vulnerable.There are many examples of this in NBA history.Furthermore, it is impossible for a person's competitive state to remain at the peak every day, and the curve always fluctuates. After all, reality is not a game, and it is not that you can "take it for granted" by setting some data and actions.And 100% exertion and hard work are already the normal limit, what else should I do?
What else is called play and hard work?If Tang Qian really "cut corners" and "grind foreign workers" D'Antoni would never speak with this attitude and tone.But now, in other places, D'Antoni can't think of a breakthrough point for the time being. Only the advantage of inside rebounds can continue to be used.

Otherwise, are you going to count on Ryan Kelly or Steve Black or Wesley Johnson?
Replacing Nick Young or Meeks seems to improve the offense slightly, but the defensive problems of these two are more serious. For the Lakers, changing offense for offense is tantamount to courting death.Because first of all, the team has fallen behind by double digits, and the confrontation cannot narrow the score difference.The second is the overall firepower of the Los Angeles Lakers, which is far inferior to the opponent.

Don't just stare at number 24, what about the rest?It's a lot worse than the Warriors.

So all in all, if you want to chase points now, you can only work hard on rebounds.

The Lakers' strongest rebounding point is undoubtedly No. 29, Tang Qian.

Rebounding in the same position, he is the best at compressing opponents.

Basically, the No. 5 position in the league played against him this season, and the rebounding data dropped a lot. The reason is not difficult to guess. They are both centers. Opponent's rebound.Looking at Bogut now, you will know that the Australian is currently playing in the second half of the fourth quarter, but he has no offensive rebounds. He can average 10+ rebounds per game this season, which is close to 3 offensive rebounds. man.No matter how bad it is, he is currently the top 15 strongman on the rebounding list.

Therefore, Tang Qian's rebounds for the 5th position, followed by the 4th position, are greatly reduced. This is also a process of ebb and flow.

But after all, this is not the use of the rebounding ability card, so even he cannot guarantee every low rebound, let alone the more difficult offensive rebound.It is true that Tang Qian is currently leading the league in rebounding statistics, but if he thinks that the rebounder is coming, it is also a dream, pure imagination and impression flow.

But now D'Antoni wants him to go up and "make some noise", so...

100% performance and competitive state is not good enough, you need to be higher to ensure greater offensive rebounds.

How to do?
Nothing to do.

It can only explode.

Tang Qian is already very strong. On the defensive end, he is by no means just talking, so as soon as he exploded, he immediately helped the Lakers win an offensive rebound.Passing the ball to Kobe, Kobe took the opportunity to lean back and make a shot, and finally managed to score one.

The value of this offensive rebound is absolutely worth 4 points, otherwise the Lakers would not only lose 2 points, but also get a chance to widen the score difference by the opponent.

The Warriors made a three-pointer from the outside, and finally missed the shot. This is not a game after all, and it is impossible to make all the shots.

The Lakers' basket instantly huddled together.

But for offensive rebounds, Bogut is still in his area of ​​responsibility just like before, but he has nothing to do.

It was snatched by No. 29 in front of him.

This guy, I can't believe he couldn't get a single offensive rebound tonight!
PS: Xiao Zi is a little uncomfortable, but at least I can rush out at noon tomorrow~ oh~
