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

Chapter 152 Jackson’s Plan
At the end of the first half, the Warriors temporarily led 67:61.

杜哲上半场12投5中，得到14分3板5助1断。

His shooting percentage seemed mediocre, and his performance of "only" 14 points in the half made Warriors fans who were accustomed to seeing big waves feel a little boring.

However, under the restraint of Du Zhe, the other players of the Warriors all played super-level and performed efficiently.

埃利斯15分、库里12分、马盖蒂8分、图里亚夫6分、托利弗6分……

Not only are the players on the field not scoring low, but their shooting percentages are close to or over 5%.

This also made everyone in the team admire Du Zheqin. By following Du Zheqin, not only can they lie down and win, but they can even swipe their stats.

After all, most of them don't have much ambition. What they think more about is racking up beautiful data and getting a big contract.

As for the championship, it is too far away for them.

But now, under the leadership of Du Zhe, they overcame powerful enemies all the way to the Western Conference finals, and even the mighty Lakers faintly showed defeat.

How could this not excite them?

What's more, in this year's playoffs, because of Du Zhe's strong containment ability, these players in the Warriors more or less played a few good games, which can be called a success for these bottom players. Worth a thousand gold.

After all, the performance in the playoffs is much more important than the regular season.

It is not uncommon for players to sign a big contract because they have played one or a few good games in the playoffs and skyrocketed.

For these role players in the team, it is definitely a good thing to be able to follow Du Zhe and occasionally brush up the statistics in the playoffs.

Compared with the highly motivated Warriors, the Lakers' bench was obviously dull.

Faced with the joint stranglehold of several masters, Du Zhe could still perform like this. This was something that no one in the team expected.

Did I make the wrong choice?
Lakers coach Phil Jackson is in deep self-doubt.

But then he thought of another possibility, that is, if he didn't target Du Zhe, this young man might explode with even more terrifying strength.

Gasol was silent on the sidelines, no longer as heroic as he had been a few days ago.

In the first half, he watched three teammates try their best, but Du Zhe still easily performed as an All-Star player, which made him feel horrified.

"Even if Jordan is at his peak, I'm afraid he can't do more than this." Gasol thought and turned his attention to Kobe beside him.

After all, Kobe can be regarded as the player he has come into contact with, the closest to Jordan.

Compared with the other players who were depressed, Kobe looked normal, and he was not overly depressed because of the team's backwardness.

"After all, he is the man who is the closest to God. This fighting spirit alone is enough to make others far behind!" Gasol couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel ashamed for being discouraged just now.

But little did he know that at this time, Kobe was already in despair and was completely in despair.

The reason why Kobe is so calm is that after several fights, he has a personal experience of Du Zhe's strength, and he doesn't expect to lock Du Zhe to death by mere double-teaming.

However, Gasol, who didn't know the inside story, seemed to have been given a booster, and he cheered up again in an instant.

It's only a 5-point gap. In the second half, if you play better in the second half, you can come back!
Looking at Kobe's calm face, Gasol felt confident.

But the progress of the game in the third quarter directly shattered Gasol's fantasy.

The Warriors, who have hardly been under any defensive pressure, will become more and more courageous, and they all feel hot.

And Du Zhe even used the stealer's glove to prostitute the passing skills of a Lakers guard for nothing.

He is already extremely powerful in his own right, and using equipment like the Stealer's Gloves is just the icing on the cake.

The passing ability of the Lakers guard whom he hired for nothing could only be considered average, but it was enough for Du Zhe.

Now as soon as Du Zhe gets the ball, the Lakers double-team him like crazy.

In this case, as long as he can pass the ball, other Warriors players can basically get easy shots.

As for passing vision, passing awareness and creativity, it doesn't matter at all.

He is now one force down ten times. Although he does not have Nash's superb offensive organization ability, he can still create more opportunities for his teammates with his powerful offensive firepower.

In the third quarter of the game, Du Zhe sent out 3 assists again. In addition, he also sent many passes that indirectly created scoring opportunities.

Looking only at the data, Du Zhe has become a master of organization.

After the third quarter, the Warriors led 99 to 89, directly extending the point difference to 10 points.

Instead of narrowing the point difference, the Lakers fell further and further behind.

But even so, Jackson did not change his tactics. He firmly believed that no matter how strong he was, he was just one person, and his flaws would definitely be exposed under his repeated attacks.

After a rough calculation, Jackson found that so far, Du Zhe had only rested for 1 minute in the first three quarters.

In addition, since Du Zhe is the backbone of the Warriors on both ends of the offense and defense, he basically has no chance to breathe on the court, and it can be said that his physical exertion is extremely huge.

And the facts are indeed the same. Although Du Zhe's strength has reached the peak of the alliance, he is not an iron man after all. After fighting against the three masters, he is inevitably a little tired.

The reason why "Zen Master" Jackson hasn't given up hope yet is because he wants to take advantage of Du Zhe's physical exhaustion to give him another try.

Sure enough, in the fourth quarter, Du Zhe, whose physical strength was about to bottom out, also faintly showed fatigue.

Of course, Kobe, who has been facing his defense, is in a worse situation than him.

I was already sweating profusely and my legs were weak. I was just holding on with my willpower.

However, Kobe has long become an outcast of the Lakers, and the team did not arrange many singles tactics for him in this game.

His role is to constantly pull Du Zhe's defense and consume Du Zhe's physical strength as much as possible.

Take Kobe, who swept the league and Megatron the world, as a sacrificial child to consume the opponent's physical strength.

If this scene appeared before the start of the Western Conference Finals, everyone would think that Jackson's brain was broken.

But now, everyone takes this for granted.

Not even Bryant himself raised any objections.

Trying his best, burning everything, trying to hold Du Zhe back as much as possible, that's all he can do.

Seeing Du Zhe sitting on the bench wheezing and sweating profusely, Jackson couldn't help showing complacency.

In his opinion, although Kobe is useless, Du Zhe is obviously not much better under the continuous consumption of the three masters.

With the Lakers' deep foundation, it is not a dream to recover this 10-point deficit!
