At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 137 Traveling at the wrong peak?

"Bang!"

As the time approached 24 seconds, Du Zhe's shot was a little hasty.

Not surprisingly, he also hit a iron.

This allowed Kobe, who had just missed a shot, to regain some face.

The direct confrontation between the two in the first round ended with one iron each, and it was barely a tie.

"Du Zhe's goal was too difficult! His teammates gave him too little time! The pass was unreasonable, it was too late!"

"But there is nothing wrong with his shooting, and his shooting posture is very standard." Seeing that Du Zhe missed the first shot, Director Zhang took the initiative to explain for him.

This double-standard attitude made Director Yu a little speechless.

"Why do I suddenly feel that this old Zhang has not changed at all!"

The next two teams went back and forth. The Lakers had an absolute advantage in the paint. The double-high combination of Gasol and Bynum dominated the paint and got everything they wanted.

And in the case of a high degree of advantage, the Lakers also completely exploded the Warriors in terms of rebound protection.

Although Du Zhe can attack and defend, he is not omnipotent after all, and rebounding is not his forte.

And the Lakers Twin Towers, who have a height advantage, can be said to be a cool thing to grab rebounds in the paint.

Not only can they easily protect backcourt rebounds, but they can also grab a lot of offensive rebounds.

As for the Warriors, in addition to Du Zhe, another insider, Tolliver, is not a master of rebounding either.

Toliver is just a space-type insider, limited by his physical fitness, he doesn't have much advantage in rebounding inside.

With the absolute advantage on the rebound, Kobe can play very recklessly.

How about blacksmithing?Anyway, my teammates have a plan!

It can only be said that today's old Nelson's experiment was a bit too bold, and he did not expect the team's rebounds to be blown up so badly.

"Kang Dang!" Under the defense of Du Zhe, Kobe hit another iron.

But the Warriors have only Toliver and Maggette on the inside, and Bynum, who is like a steel tower, easily pocketed the rebounds without any effort.

Immediately afterwards, the second offense was easily completed, scoring two points for the Lakers.

Most of the first quarter has passed, and the Lakers' internal offense is very efficient, while the Warriors rely on their flexibility and speed to frequently fire from the outside.

The current score between the two teams is 17:12, with the Warriors temporarily trailing by 5 points.

Although the team has received many opportunities, except for Du Zhe, other players on the Warriors do not seem to be able to grasp them well.

"The Warriors started the game with, how should I put it, no basket!" As Maggette hit the ball again, Director Yu couldn't help it anymore.

"Indeed, the Warriors wanted to focus on the outside today, but they had no effect."

"Look at Tolliver, he can't make a shot, he can't grab a rebound, can he play a center? You don't have that strength, you know!" Director Zhang saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and couldn't help being anxious in his tone stand up.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Tolliver.

He was just an undrafted player, and he was discovered by the Warriors from the Development League this year. As a result, he became a starter in the Western Conference Finals after only playing a few regular season games in the league. The pressure is not small.

And in the first few games, he didn't get too many opportunities to play, and it's normal for him to not perform well.

Of course, Tolliver's downturn is just a microcosm of other Warriors players.

Perhaps it was because they rested for too long, or perhaps because they faced too much pressure from the powerful Lakers, the performance of several Warriors players was unsatisfactory.

Old Nelson couldn't help but called a timeout, temporarily gave up his experiment, readjusted the team's deployment, replaced Toliver, and let Turiaf play again.

This finally allowed the Warriors to regain a fulcrum in the interior and can protect the rebound a little bit.

But Turiaf's strength is limited after all, and he was just an unknown substitute in the Lakers back then. Although his appearance can slightly alleviate the team's dilemma, it is still difficult to achieve a reversal.

At the end of the first quarter, taking advantage of Du Zhe's break, Kobe made two of two shots, and the game finally started.

Although he hit two consecutive shots to help the team expand its lead, there was no excitement on Kobe's face.

Although he said that he was not afraid of Du Zhe, but from the point of view of actual actions, he was not like that at all.

The main players of both teams had taken a rest at the end of the first quarter, and only he remained on the court to deal with the Warriors' substitutes.

And only by doing this can his data look a little better.

Kobe, who had always been strong, could not accept his current situation. He never imagined that one day he would have to avoid the sharp edges of other players.

The Los Angeles fans at the scene also vaguely saw that something was wrong. Kobe really couldn't take advantage in Du Zhe's hands.

In terms of speed, Du Zhe is no slower than Kobe, and in terms of confrontation with Du Zhe, he is much better than him.

In terms of static data of the body, whether it is height, wingspan or weight, Du Zhe surrounds Kobe in all directions.

In terms of technology, although Kobe Bryant has superb offensive skills, Du Zhe's defensive ability cannot be overshadowed. He is definitely the top level among the top in the league.

In the several rounds of confrontation in the first quarter, it can be said that Kobe was completely controlled by Du Zhe.

But despite this, Los Angeles fans are still comforting themselves.

"Kobe just wasn't in the zone."

"Isn't it normal for the boss to hit a few irons?"

"Don't look at Kobe's strength now, you will be killed if you get accurate in a while!"

After the first quarter, although Kobe's performance was not satisfactory, the Lakers gained a 29-point lead in the first quarter at 22:7, so the fans at the scene would no longer worry about so many minutiae.

Du Zhe's performance in the first quarter can only be described as not losing.

He made 5 of 2 three-pointers and scored 6 points. Judging from the shooting percentage alone, this performance was qualified.

But now the fans have been spoiled by him. Even though Du Zhe's three-point shooting percentage in the first quarter remained at [-]%, the fans still felt that his performance was mediocre.

In the second quarter, Du Zhe appeared again after a 2-minute rest.

Old Nelson felt a little embarrassed, because if this pace continues, this may be Du Zhe's last rest today.

Since the start of the game, Du Zhe has carried the team forward with his own strength. It can be said that except for the last two games against the Suns, he has basically not had much rest time.

"Oh, we can see that the Warriors have replaced Du Zhe." Seeing Du Zhe playing again, Director Zhang also cheered up.

"The Lakers have also made a wave of personnel adjustments. Kobe is preparing to take a rest. He has been playing from the beginning of the game until now."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is avoiding Du Zhe.

Of course, after Du Zhe defeated Nowitzki and Stoudemire in succession, it didn't seem to be a shame to avoid him.
