I really just want to be a role player

How to break 13 points behind?
In the second quarter, Warriors coach Mark Jackson performed routine operations.

The Splash Brothers continued to fight, and David Lee, too, was not allowed to rest.

Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry were rotated in.

While Curry was being fucked, he switched to an off-ball offense that was more threatening and less energy-consuming.

For the Lakers, Kobe and Gasol rested.

Mike Brown copied what James was best at and put together a one-star lineup.

Paul is that "one star", shooting up to Subei, Artest, Jamison and Yi Jianlian.

Everyone has shooting skills and plays around Paul's sudden scoring characteristics.

At the start of the second quarter, the Warriors had the offensive ball.

“Curry plays without the ball, and Su Bei, who is also a master without the ball, guards him.

Next, let’s see how the Warriors will play?
Jarrett Jack controlled the ball to the top arc. On the right side, Curry reversed and cut to the basket.

On the left, Thompson also cut to the basket, and Curry was about to collide... No, it was Su Bei and Artest who collided.

People can see ahead and turn, but with Subei and Artest following closely behind, it’s difficult to turn and they can’t see each other’s situation..."

When the distance was too close and they wanted to avoid it, both Curry and Thompson jumped out of the encirclement.

Even if Su Bei and Artest didn't collide with each other, after stopping and trying to catch up, they were already a second or two behind.

This time gap is enough for Curry to run to the left side of the 65-degree three-point line, receive the card from Jarrett Jack, immediately pull up the ball, and raise his hand to shoot a three-point jumper...

Su Bei hurried early and slowly, but still couldn't catch up. He could only bet on shooting in the library and then shooting. Don't shoot inside, just hang around outside.

Bang-dang-!
"still none!
Curry did not bring a shooting sight tonight, and the three-point shot still failed to open up the situation.

Subei's defense has been lost, but Curry's offense has also been lost..."

Sure enough, three-point shooting is still unreliable.

Off the court, Mark Jackson shook his head, but his face remained firm.

The Warriors have no choice. If they still want to recover the points, they can only shoot three-pointers.

As the team's leading scorer and star, Curry has to stand up and be tough on three-pointers.

During the transition between offense and defense, Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, waited for his teammates to open up, and then chose to go up himself.

"Paul broke through and Jack fought and retreated!

The Warriors' wings couldn't move. Curry was afraid of Su Bei's shooting skills, and Thompson was afraid that Artest would act recklessly.

One-on-one, Paul was about to break through, but it was impossible to reach the end. David Lee let Yi Jianlian go and rushed to help defend.

A beautiful pass, Paul casually sent the basketball into the sky, Yi Jianlian took off, got the basketball, and only the basket was left in front of him..."

Bang-dang-!
Two-handed slam dunk, alley-oop, the whole body, hanging from the southeast corner.

After scoring the goal, Yi Jianlian refused to celebrate and immediately turned back to defend.

It's not that he is too impatient, but that he wants to make progress too much.

23 to 38! !
The point difference became 15 points.

With such a backward situation, the Warriors have no choice.

When Jarrett Jack takes the ball to the frontcourt, Curry has already come full circle.

Su Bei's off-the-ball skills are equally excellent, and he has a firm grasp on Curry's tail.

"Using Landry's screen, Curry was on the right side, shook off Su Bei, and caught the basketball... No, Su Bei quickly bypassed Landry and jumped in front of Curry.

Curry raised the ball to shoot, but saw Su Bei rushing over quickly.

Su Bei was caught, Curry clicked, took a step to the side, and then sent a back pass.

A beautiful assist, Thompson took the ball and rushed into the penalty area, stopped for a two-point pull-up jumper, will there be..."

Bang-dang-!
Still sent it, the basketball hit the iron and missed.

You call this Splash Brothers?
These are simply the Iron Flower Brothers! !

Three-pointers and three-pointers continued to miss, and two-pointers and two-pointers also failed to hit. It was nothing.

In the transition between offense and defense, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Jarrett Jack chose to press.

The advantage was on my side of the lake. Paul handled the ball calmly, sent the damn basketball to the most reasonable place, and then just stood still.

"Beyond the 65-degree three-point line on the right side, Su Bei received Paul's call and held the ball as a triple threat to beat Curry.

The advantage lies with Su Bei, let's see how he operates?

Oops, he didn't take a step, he just raised the ball to shoot a three-pointer. Curry didn't dare to give Su Bei a chance to shoot, so he went over to interfere.

Bang-!
Su Bei pushed past Curry with his back, took advantage of his physical advantage to hit inside, turned around beautifully, passed Curry, and dribbled the ball toward the penalty area..."

David Lee came to help defend. Su Bei European stepped to the basket and shot a lob, avoiding David Lee's block. The basketball drew a high arc and then fell into the basket.

Swish-!
"Nice goal!

Su Bei played this ball too smartly and steadily.

While the Warriors are still using long-range shots to test the Lakers and test their own strength, the Lakers are already playing an efficient attack to the basket.

This is experience and a reflection of true strength..."

23 to 40! !
The point difference became 17 points.

Curry on the court looked at the scorer, put his hands on his waist, and shook his head.

Mark Jackson did not stand on the sidelines, choosing to sit quietly on the bench.

Even though the game lasted less than 15 minutes, he also knew that the Warriors dug too deep a hole in this game and there was no chance.

On the field, the game must be played out.

The three-pointer failed to open the game, so the Warriors had to score a solid two points.

After all, there are still many games left in the series.

Keep throwing away three-pointers, there is no future!

The first person to eat the fruit plate was confused and didn't know if he was going the right way.Teams that rely on three-point shooting to dominate the world have not yet appeared, so they will not be so paranoid in their actions.

Either kill the opponent with a three-point shot, or shoot yourself with a three-point shot. This two-choice option is not so clear.

When the Warriors attacked, Jarrett dealt from the top of the arc, while Curry and Thompson, two off-ball shooters, kept running.

David Lee and Landry cooperated as screens to create opportunities for the two major shooters.

"It was Curry who got the basketball again. This time, he quickly rotated the ball, passed the ball to the running Thompson, Artest completely lost track, and could only watch Thompson lay up easily... …”

Swish-!
Finally, finally, the Warriors scored in the second quarter.

This is an opportunity for the team to work together.

Moreover, with the connection between the two major shooters, the Lakers are really difficult to defend.

Next, Curry pretended to play for Thompson, playing Su Bei, and then quickly pulled out a three-point shot, but still missed.

However, David Lee grabbed the offensive rebound, made a second attack and put the basketball into the basket.

The Warriors' offense continued.

Immediately afterwards, Thompson used Landry's screen to get into a wide open space, received Jarrett Jack's pass, and made a solid three-pointer.

"Here we go, the Warriors are on offense!

Thompson rose to prominence, and Artest had the advantage in strength, but speed was not his specialty.

Although the Lakers relied on Su Bei to squeeze the gourd of Curry, they took advantage of Thompson..."

This is basketball, especially the basketball of the offensive team. It is impossible, absolutely impossible to completely lock down the opponent's offense.

Fortunately, the Lakers are not panicking!
Their advantage is too obvious. Moreover, the Lakers don't know how to defend, and neither can the Warriors.

"Paul broke through, made a sudden stop, withstood Jack's block, and tested the Warriors' defense with a mid-range shot with a sudden stop...

Can it withstand the test?
Swish-!
Jack couldn't stand it!

This is the difference between role players and superstars..."

……

"Hey, what kind of operation is Su Bei doing?
After catching the ball from the three threats, he ignored Curry's pressing and chose to pull out. He raised his hand and shot an unreasonable three-point pull-up jumper...

Bang-dang-!
Hard work!
Yi Jianlian took off the backboard and gave the basketball that Su Bei had lost back to Su Bei.

Again, against Curry's block, he forced a pull-up three-point shot, or blind Jiba took it unreasonably. Will there be a second shot..."

Curry, who is 1 meters tall, only has panic and disbelief in his eyes.

Then, we can only wait for Su Bei's touch to judge.

Swish-!
With the knife in his hand and down, Su Bei hit the net with a three-pointer.

No three-point shot cannot be scored. If not, then try the second time!
Curry's defense is too bad. He can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but he can't avoid the fifteenth grade of Jiangsu North.

This three-pointer was not very harmful to the Warriors who had found an offensive feeling, but it was extremely insulting.

The reason why Su Bei dared to play like this was probably because he didn't regard the Warriors as alive.

In this case, is it reasonable to play basketball in Hong Kong?
Done!

Bang-dang-!
Jarrett Jack wanted to come back and try a three-pointer to create a more blossoming situation.

It's just a pity that if you try it, you will die.

Against Paul's three-point shot, the shot missed.

……

Later, Carl Landry also wanted to step up and take a shot to support the offensive firepower. However, after running back and forth for several consecutive rounds, his hands were a little cold when he just touched the ball. After he and Jarrett Jack picked and rolled, he misplaced Paul's jump shot. Sent too.

There was a clang and the striker missed.

The Warriors' offense that was finally gaining momentum was stalled again.

Immediately after the offense returned to the starting point, Thompson opened the situation with a two-point shot.

So by continuing to hit his offensive point, will it be possible to reignite the Warriors' offense?

Bang-dang-!
The basket did not tolerate the Warriors and rejected Thompson's goal.

Finally, the Lakers chose all kinds of wild shots and the offense failed. Otherwise, the Warriors would have fallen behind by even more points.

Time passed like this for 6 minutes. Mike Brown took the lead in substitutions, bringing on Kobe, Gasol, and Blake, replacing Su Bei, Paul, and Yi Marianlian.

Just looking at the cards, it’s still a very playable lineup.

The Warriors also made substitution adjustments, such as Barnes and Bogut, replacing Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry.

Curry, Thompson, and David Lee continue to fight.

The question is to rotate seven people and control the main force.

Not to mention, the Warriors' substitution operation is still very effective.

Although Curry's condition was still so bad, he made 8 of 1 shots in the second quarter and 5 of 1 three-pointers. He scored 3 points but sent 5 assists.

Among them, Thompson rose to prominence. He provided 4 assists to Curry alone, made 8 of 6 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 13 points in a single quarter. There was a sunshine that no one else knew about.

After all, David Lee stayed on the court for a long time and scored 6 points on 3 of 6 shots.

Miraculously, except for Bogut who got 2 of 1 free throws, the rest of the Warriors didn't score.

The promised rotation lineup took action, but the result was that the core players scored.

After the second quarter, the Lakers beat the Warriors with a score of 26-23.

Su Bei made 4 of 2 shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 5 points. The offense was not bad. After all, he focused on defense, causing Curry to lose all offense. The only three-point goal was from the wrong forward. Got it.

Kobe shot 6-for-3 from the field, which was still an average performance.

But the Lakers are better because they have many players who can play. Paul, Gasol, Yi Jianlian and Artest all scored, which the Warriors can't compare to.

The only thing they can rely on is youth, and it's Shicao's prime time.

At the end of the first half, the score was 46 to 62. With a 16-point advantage, the Lakers entered the locker room to rest.
