NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 331 Much Weaker Than Warriors

(The third update, there will be two updates later)
The most terrible thing is that the Raptors spent so much effort to defend Wang Feng, causing Butler and other Lakers players to have good scoring opportunities, but the result was not much better.

At halftime, the scores of the two teams were 59:49, and the Lakers led by 10 points at home.

The game entered the second half. Under the leadership of Lowry and Siakam, the Raptors played a wave of 12:4 attacks, closing the point difference to within 5 points, but as the game entered the fourth quarter, especially at the end Within 2 minutes, Wang Feng began to exert his strength.

Facing Leonard's defense, Wang Feng hit jump shots again and again, as stable as a robot.

At 118:109, the Lakers won the first game of the finals, with a total score of 1:0.

In this game, Wang Feng scored a game-high 34 points, 16 points in the half, and only 2 points in the third quarter, but scored 16 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, including 2 points in the last 11 minutes. The rate is 44.8%.

With Leonard and the Raptors assisting in double-teaming anytime and anywhere, they can still contribute points stably and efficiently, which is enough to prove Wang Feng's ability.

湖人队除了王峰外，还有18投10中砍下25分5篮板5助攻的巴特勒，投篮命中率高达55.6%。

With Wang Feng being strictly guarded, Butler got a lot of chances to score and successfully grasped them all.

For the Raptors, Siakam made 17 of 14 shots and scored 32 points and 8 rebounds with a very high shooting percentage.

Full of impact, Siakam, who frequently ran off the ball and cut into the basket throughout the game, successfully tore the Lakers' weak inside defense to pieces. Ingram and Kuzma were not as powerful as Siakam, McGee was too slow to keep up with the opponent's agile pace.

Siakam played well, but Leonard did not perform very well on the offensive end because he focused most of his energy on defending Wang Feng. He made 17 of 8 shots and scored 23 points. Although his shooting percentage of 47% was slightly higher than that of Wang Feng It's higher, but considering that Leonard mostly uses pick-and-roll screens to attack on the offensive end, a higher shooting percentage doesn't mean anything.

Two days after the end of the first game, that is, on June 6, the second game of the series was still the G2 game at the Staples Center, home of the Lakers. The Raptors once again lost to the Lakers 2:107. 121:0 behind.

In this game, the Raptors lost more thoroughly than the first game.

In the G2 game, the Lakers made adjustments on the defensive end. Wang Feng did not continue to match up with Leonard, but went to mark Siakam.

Wang Feng, who starts as a power forward, should have faced Siakam himself, but because he is the Lakers' strongest perimeter defense player, he will face the Raptors' strongest Leonard in the G1 game Germany.

However, during the G1 game, Leonard did not directly confront Wang Feng. Instead, he used pick-and-roll screens and off-ball running to avoid encountering Wang Feng's defense on the offensive end.

That being the case, Wang Feng simply stopped defending Leonard. The task of marking Leonard was handed over to Butler, and Wang Feng was responsible for defending Siakam, who played well in the last game.

Although compared with outside defense, Wang Feng's inside defense is weaker, but after all, he also strengthened his inside defense ability to 90. Siakam is 2 meters tall and weighs 06. There is not much difference in size between Wang Feng and Wang Feng. Under the premise, Siakam is not as good as Wang Feng in terms of strength, speed, jumping and other physical qualities.

并非传统背筐进攻内线的西亚卡姆，面对王峰的防守，成功交出一份18投5中，12分8篮板5助攻5失误的答卷。

西亚卡姆糟糕的发挥让进攻端得以解放，全场20投8中，罚球16中14，砍下32分14篮板3助攻的伦纳德无力回天。

In this game, Wang Feng made 17 of 10 shots, 8 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 31 points and 10 rebounds. Raptors coach Nurse was shocked to find that Wang Feng had even begun to gradually adapt to their targeted defensive tactics. It is more efficient and stable than G1.

After the two finals, the big score was 2:0, and the process of the game was far less intense than expected.

Facts have proved that although the Raptors achieved 58 wins in the regular season this season, one more win than the Warriors, when it comes to real combat effectiveness, they are obviously far behind the Warriors.

If you have to say it, I am afraid that the Warriors without Durant can also have a little bit of a fight with the Raptors.

Indeed, in another space-time finals, the Warriors still won two games without Durant, and they fought inextricably with the Raptors. After the split, Thompson also tore his cruciate ligament in the G6 final.

Before Thompson was injured and retired, the Warriors were still in the lead after three quarters. However, as Thompson also left the game with a serious injury, the team's morale plummeted. They only scored 22 points in the last quarter. The Raptors scored 28 points and lost by 4 points. Lost the game and missed the chance to tie the score to 3:3.

If Thompson hadn't been injured and had made a few random shots in the fourth quarter, the result would have been completely different. If the Warriors could tie the total score to 3:3, the final tiebreaker might really kill the Raptors and leave the team with a crippled team. win!

It can only be said that luck is not on the Warriors' side.

The strength of the Lakers is obviously higher than that of the Warriors without Durant and the Raptors led by Leonard.

With everyone healthy, it's no surprise that the Raptors are no match.

On June 6th, in the third game of the finals, returning to Toronto's home court, the Raptors finally won a game with difficulty.

这场比赛伦纳德砍下30分7篮板6助攻，西亚卡姆状态回升，16投8中得到18分，洛瑞也在前两场比赛打了两场酱油之后，总算发挥出作用，16投8中贡献23分9助攻。

In addition, the Raptors also played well off the bench, with Van Jordan Van Fleet scoring 17 points, Danny Green 15 points, and Gasol 17 points.

The Raptors, with 6 players scoring in double figures, won a big victory 123:109.

The Raptors also changed their defensive strategy in this game, allowing Danny Green to defend Wang Feng, freeing Leonard to improve the overall defensive ability of the Raptors, and strengthening the defense against the other four positions of the Lakers.

This kind of tactical adjustment is very effective. Although Wang Feng slammed Green all the way and scored 31 points on 17 of 47 shots, the entire Lakers team except Wang Feng played abnormally.

巴特勒14投6中得到17分7篮板4助攻。

Rondo 11 points, Ingram 9 points, Kuzma 6 points.

Relying on the victory of this game, the Raptors struggled to pull the total score to 1:2.
