Chapter 650 Moved to Oakland

"Hey, Kenny, I said before the game that the Lakers can't sit back and relax even at home. It seems that I was right. The Warriors won the first game." Listening to the long beeping at the end of the game With a voice, Barkley proudly said to Smith.

"Did you say it?"

"Of course... Although this is not the original sentence, the meaning of what I said is obviously the same."

Barkley's words are still very accurate. For example, Lakers fans will hate Yang Shuai more and more. Barkley said after this round of matchups, but now it seems that there is such a trend after the first quarter.

The Warriors won the Lakers, and Yang Shuai was undoubtedly the biggest contributor. In the whole game, Yang Shuai contributed 37 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds in a triple-double, continuing his good performance in the regular season.

Kobe's score reached 41, but his assists and rebounds were only 3 and 5 respectively, far behind Yang Shuai.This time, Yang Shuai became the winner again.

The Lakers lost their first game again, which not only made the fans very dissatisfied, but also dissatisfied the local media in Los Angeles.

"The performance of the Lakers in this game is difficult to satisfy. The pride and complacency once again made them swallow the bitter pill, whether it was the three turnovers after opening the point difference to 10 points or the opponent's substitute in the last quarter. It is a low-level mistake to launch an attack wave.

Before the game, Lakers fans were excited that the Lakers had home court advantage in this round of matchup, but now it seems that the team does not cherish it. Losing the winning goal in the first game also lost the home court advantage and the opportunity.In the first round, they underestimated the Blazers and lost their first home game, but now they are not facing such a team that does not pose much threat. The Lakers' current opponent is the Warriors!This team is the biggest competitor of the Lakers in the West, and it is clear that the purple and gold have let the fans down again..."

The report of the "Los Angeles Times" expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Lakers losing their first home game. They lost their first home games in two consecutive rounds of the playoffs. In their view, this was because of a problem with the Lakers' mentality.

Not only the outside world, but even Kobe was very dissatisfied with his team's performance in this game. After the game, he pointed out that there were problems with the team's defense, especially in the last quarter, which allowed the Warriors to score 34 points. The most important reason why a team loses.

Contrary to the media in Los Angeles, the local media in Oakland sang praises for the Warriors' performance in this game, especially for the performance of the Lakers' substitute players in this game.

In fact, it's not just the local media in Oakland. In the reports of major sports media, they all expressed their appreciation for the contribution of the Warriors' substitute in this game.

In this game, the Lakers' bench players scored 20 points, while the Warriors' bench players scored 40 points, twice as many as their opponents.

The Warriors' performance and victory in the first game sounded the alarm for the Lakers. It is reported that after the first game, the Lakers coaching staff discussed the Warriors' defensive strategy overnight to prepare for the next game.

One day later, the second game between the Warriors and the Lakers started, and the venue was still Staples Arena.

Chandler got the first offensive right for the Warriors, and then Evans made a breakthrough layup and got 2 points.

Unlike the first game, no team played an offensive wave at the beginning of the game. The Lakers did a very good job of defending the Warriors. The Warriors did not score 9 points until halfway through the first quarter. Their own offense doesn't seem to be as sharp as at the beginning of the previous game, and they only have a 4-point advantage when the Warriors' offense is weak.

After the first quarter, the Warriors' offense improved slightly. Evans scored 6 points in a row and then assisted Hinrich to hit a three-pointer.

After the first quarter, the score of the two teams came to 24:25, and the Warriors were only 1 point behind.At the beginning, Yang Shuai didn't seem to have much desire to attack, and only scored 4 points and 3 assists in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers obviously made targeted arrangements for the Warriors' substitutes. Facing the weaker internal strength of the Warriors' substitutes, Odom also pulled to the outside to defend, leaving Bynum alone at the basket to defend. .

On the outside, use Barnes to defend Evans alone, not giving him too many opportunities to break through and score the ball.

This defensive arrangement is very effective and does not give the Warriors a group of shooters the opportunity to shoot openly. Although the Warriors can still score goals, they can no longer hit the same high shooting percentage as they did in the last game.

The offense is quite satisfactory, but the Warriors' defense has a big problem. The Lakers' offense is to let Bynum and Odom attack in the interior in turn. The combination of Jamison and Frye cannot effectively restrain the opponent. The rest of the players had to spend more energy to participate in the defense, so that the Lakers' outside players found opportunities to attack.

After two and a half minutes in the second quarter, Nelson had to send Chandler to replace Jamison in order to consolidate the inside defense and rebounds.

At 31:35, when Yang Shuai returned to the court, the point difference between the two teams had widened to 4 points.

Yang Shuai knew very well that he was on the field to put out fires, so he launched an attack as soon as he entered the field.Perhaps Yang Shuai failed to find an offensive state due to too few shots in the first quarter. He failed to make two consecutive shots after playing, and the point difference was widened to 7 points by the Lakers at this time.

Yang Shuai quickly adjusted his offensive method and chose to rush to the basket. This time the adjustment was very correct. He rushed to the basket and failed to score directly, but caused Gasol's foul and got a free throw opportunity.

After that, Yang Shuai also gradually recovered his offensive state. He scored 9 points and 2 assists in the second quarter to help the team overtake the score after the first half. At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 51:49.

After the opening of the third quarter, the Lakers fans broke into a cold sweat. In the second half, the Warriors suddenly broke out on the offensive end. Yang Shuai, Evans, and Jamison succeeded in attacking one after another. The Warriors played a wave of 11:4 The point difference was directly widened to 9 points.

The Lakers once again had an emergency timeout, and Jackson also replaced Bynum, who had performed poorly on the court during this time, with Odom.

Kobe Bryant took the initiative to take over the team's offensive task, scoring 4 points in a row to help the Lakers stabilize the situation. Odom, who came off the bench, restrained Jamison's offense well and also contributed to the offensive end.

The scores of the two teams began to close. After the third quarter, the score fell to 78:74, and the Warriors' lead was only 4 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the last game, the Warriors took the initiative, but in this game, the Lakers played the role of the Warriors.

After the start of the final quarter, Phil Jackson let Kobe, who took a 2-minute rest at the end of the third quarter, play directly. With Kobe present, the Warriors' defensive attention naturally fell on him more, and the defensive strength of the Warriors' substitute players also increased. It is indeed not as good as the starter, the Lakers played a wave of 12:6 and successfully overtook.

Yang Shuai played again, and Kobe still stayed on the court without rest. The Warriors' offense changed after Yang Shuai played, but the Lakers' offense was still stable. The Warriors still failed to overtake the score.

Six minutes before the end, Phil Jackson replaced Kobe for a rest. The Warriors ushered in an opportunity to overtake but failed to seize it. First, Hinrich made a pass error, and then Yang Shuai made a shot from outside the three-point line He also failed to make a hit. Instead, the Lakers seized the opportunity to fight back and widened the point difference to 6 points.

After the Warriors called a timeout, Yang Shuai quickly made a mid-range shot, and then assisted Chandler for a dunk, closing the point difference to 2 points again.

One minute before the end of the game, Yang Shuai held the ball from outside the three-point line and rushed to the basket with the help of Chandler's cover. The air pull bar flashed Bynum's block and made a layup, rewriting the score to 1:98, and the Warriors overtook 97. point.

At such a critical moment, the ball appeared in Kobe's hands as a matter of course, and the head of the Lakers was not relentless. He broke through with the ball and made an emergency stop in the middle distance. The jumper caused Evans' defensive foul and hit the shot at the same time, scoring 2+1 to tie the score Rewritten as 98:100.

At the other end, Yang Shuai was double-teamed after receiving the ball, and was destroyed when he passed the ball to Evans and almost made a mistake. Although the ball was still in the hands of the Warriors in the end, it consumed too much offensive time. In the hands of Yang Shuai, there is only the last 2 seconds of attack time.

Yang Shuai forced a three-pointer against the double defense outside the three-point line. This very difficult shot at the buzzer missed, and the Lakers also protected the rebound.

With 12 seconds left in the game, the Warriors could only use foul tactics, but Fisher's free throw widened the difference between the two teams to 4 points.

Yang Shuai's missed three-pointer announced the loss of the final suspense in the game. The final score was fixed at 101:104. Although Hinrich made a three-pointer at the buzzer at the last moment, the time for the game was over. , With a difference of 3 points, the Warriors lost to the Lakers in the away game, and the total score was tied at 1:1.

Such a result undoubtedly made the Lakers fans breathe a sigh of relief. Yang Shuai made a layup to turn the score overtime, but it made their hearts rise to their throats.

全场比赛结束杨帅最终拿到了28分9次助攻8个篮板的准三双数据，在得分上依然是科比更高，科比全场拿下36分4次助攻4个篮板。

Yang Shuai is the scoring leader in the regular season, but it seems that Kobe's offensive firepower in these two games seems to be stronger, which also makes the Lakers fans extremely proud. Of course, they can't be too happy when they think that they have lost a home game.

1:1 tie, after the two games, the duel between the Warriors and the Lakers will be moved to Oakland, and the Warriors will play against the Lakers at home in the third game.Being taken away by the Warriors at their home court, the Lakers naturally want to get it back at the Warriors' home court.
