genius point guard

Chapter 776 Qianlang died on the beach

The Southern California Derby was staged in the playoffs for the first time.

Last season, Paul missed the game-winning shot, and the Lakers fell in the last step outside the Western Conference Finals. How many people sighed.What they lamented was that the purple and gold guns failed to enter the Western Conference finals for the first time. At the same time, they lamented that the Southern California Derby failed to be staged in the playoffs.

This year, that regret was finally made up for.

After all, there are not as many people who want to watch the Warriors vs. Spurs as there are people who want to watch the Southern California Derby.

"Leaving aside this derby, the popularity of these two teams is enough to make people excited." The comment on this sentence on Shipu was very popular.

Popularity is something that matters to every team.

Some people compare spurs to wine, the longer the time, the more mellow it will be.

"The Spurs are necessities," someone said.

"Yes, but the most intense collision. It should be the playoff version of the Southern California Derby."

The NBA has done a lot of publicity for this round of the series. On the day the Lakers defeated the Spurs, huge advertisements appeared overwhelmingly.

The playoff version of the Southern California Derby was done a long time ago, and it was done last year, but it didn't work.

Barkley and Kenny Smith sat in front of the commentary table, and they came to explain the game.

"We should be happy." Barkley said: "This is Chris Paul's first Western Conference Finals."

The teams of these two teams are familiar with each other, they are friends with each other, and their understanding of each other is deep enough.

After the start of the game, there were not many temptations, and the two teams directly launched an offensive.Especially the Lakers, their offensive is very fierce.

Kobe started to explode, while Dwight Howard had his best game of the season tonight.

The Warriors trailed from the start, but not by much.

Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry either. After all, for the Lakers, Kobe's age couldn't allow him to maintain his high shooting percentage in such a high-intensity game.

However, it turned out that Chen Mo's prediction was finally wrong.

Kobe, even the 34-year-old Kobe cannot be predicted by conventional routines.

Bryant scored 51 points and he almost dominated Oracle Arena.

"We took the floor." Paul said to Chen Mo with a smile after the game.

Although Chen Mo was not very happy, he adjusted very quickly.Although it had been a long time since he had tasted such a loss, he adjusted very quickly.

Chen Mo smiled and said to Paul: "Seeing how happy you are, it seems that you have won the series."

"This is a good start." Paul laughed loudly: "The start of sweeping you."

"It's a very good dream." Chen Mo said with a smile, "It's a pity that it will be shattered the day after tomorrow."

"Dreams are still necessary!" Paul said, "What if they come true!"

Kobe is also very happy, after all, this is the first time they have won a game with the main players of both sides at their best, and he also scored 51 points, which the media called a miracle.

"We are playing more and more like a whole, we have a way to beat them, and we will win the final victory." Bryant said.

The Lakers are in a good mood, and the Warriors are not in a bad mood.It's just losing a home game, and it's not the end of the world.

"There was a problem with our rhythm." Chen Mo took the initiative to blame, "I didn't expect their high-intensity suppression to last until the end, which made us unable to pick up when we wanted to speed up later."

"We are a little careless." Chen Mo said: "We will make changes soon. We have been studied under the microscope by our opponents. We almost lost the first game against Oklahoma, but the following They barely had a chance in the game."

The Warriors' loss seems to be unacceptable to the fans, but some media have rendered this as the end of the world for the Warriors.

"The high center is the biggest killer for the Golden State Warriors."

"Whoever wins the center wins the world. The ancients never deceived me."

Those who resist the small ball raised their heads, and they frantically used today's convenient media to vent their thoughts.It seems that the Warriors have been eliminated by the Lakers.

"Actually, everything is still early." Chen Mo said.

This time, it is actually true that everything is still early.After all, only one series has passed with a maximum of seven games and a minimum of four games. Whether it is calculated by the maximum or the minimum, it is still very early.

This is much lower-key than what Chen Mo said, "The fourth quarter has just started, everything is still early."

That night, Timothy Glenn took Chen Mo and the coaching staff to a meeting.

"I don't believe they can play four games like this." Chen Mo said: "Actually, we only need to make fine adjustments."

Chen Mo's attitude was indeed the same as he was at the press conference, very calm.

But Timothy Glenn is a little anxious. Howard's threat to the Warriors is like a thorn in his heart, and he is very worried.

"I have said many times that Dwight is a high-level blue-collar worker." Chen Mo said: "The number one center is different from the number one center."

"Whether it's the No. [-] center like O'Neal or the No. [-] center like Dayao, they pose a great threat to us." Chen Mo said: "Only, Dwight will not pose a particularly great threat to us. He is too rough. Yes. His technical level and delicacy may be in the middle and lower grades in universities."

"Perhaps what we need to do is to resort to the slashing tactics at the right time." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Chen Mo wasn't worried about losing this game, at least not as worried as he was after the first game against the Thunder in the last round.

"This game is just a coincidence for the Los Angeles Lakers." Chen Mo held a pen in his hand, and the movements of turning the pen subconsciously were dazzling and beautiful. "Kobe can't continue to explode like that, and Dwight can't continue to output with such high efficiency."

"What we have to do is nothing more than two points." Chen Mo stopped the action of turning the pen, and he came to a conclusion: "Speed ​​up the rhythm of the opening, use the five small starters, and when Kobe played relatively smoothly, cut Huo! Disrupt their overall rhythm."

The Lakers' offensive position is very smooth, and now their tactics have deviated from the most primitive triangle offense.

In the most primitive triangle offense, the role of the point guard can be very small, and the 3D players are the best.

But now, the core of the Lakers' triangle offense is Paul.In many cases, it is necessary to use Paul's sudden points to drive the team's rhythm.

So, they put more emphasis on fluency.

Cutting Huo interrupted their rhythm, and the lethality was great.

Timothy Glenn really didn't see any worries on Chen Mo's face. From the scene of this game, the Warriors were very passive.

When Chen Mo left, he patted Timothy Glenn on the shoulder and told him, "Don't worry, if they continue to play like this in the next game, we will definitely win."

Chen Mo is very confident.

The Lakers really didn't think about changing their style of play, and this game attracted more fans.

Few people like to watch a one-sided carnage, but after the Lakers won the first game, this round of the series will look more intense.

Those commentators and fans who think that small balls are useless are watching this game, and they expect the Lakers to continue to win.

Chen Mo and Kobe had a simple exchange before the game. Chen Mo didn't seem to be in a hurry, but Kobe could feel that he was under pressure.The opponent of the Warriors is too strong, and it is also a difficult task for Kobe to win the entire series.

The Warriors changed the starting lineup of the last game, and they used a small lineup that was rare throughout the season.

"This is the starting lineup for the last three games against Oklahoma City," Barkley said. "They look like they're going to pick up speed."

"Yes, after the last game, Jack Chen said they were negligent." Smith said: "They were negligent in the start, which made it impossible to speed up later."

"Are they going to attack at high speed from the beginning tonight?" Barkley said.

Howard won the jump ball, and he faced Green, and the advantage of the jump ball was too great.The ball was given to Kobe, and Chen Mo ran straight towards Kobe.

Chen Mo wants to steal the ball!
When Kobe reacted a bit slower, Chen Mo strengthened Kobe, and then patted the ball.

Then, Chen Mo moved his body quickly and finally took control of the ball.

After getting the ball, Chen Mo ran straight towards the Lakers' basket.

Paul came to defend, and Chen Mo completed a high-speed change of direction while traveling at high speed, and then Chen Mo suddenly threw the ball behind him.

Paul looked in the direction where Chen Mo was throwing the ball, but the ball flew from behind Chen Mo's head and went directly over their heads.

Elbow pass!

Paul quickly looked back. Paul, who turned around after Chen Mo passed the ball, had already discovered the problem, while Howard, who was guarding the basket, hadn't moved yet.

"Be careful! Behind!" Paul shouted.

But it was too late, Millsap slipped behind Howard, and then he tapped the ball quickly in the air.The ball changed its direction and flew towards the hoop.

The Warriors' opening attack can be said to be extremely successful.

The Lakers handed over the ball to Kobe. In the last few consecutive games, Kobe has played very well.

After Kobe and Paul picked and rolled, Paul gave the ball directly to Kobe.

The Warriors chose to switch defenses.

In the last game, the Warriors have always adopted a strategy of not switching defenses against Kobe.

Chen Mo felt that if Kobe was allowed to score, after the fierce battle with the Spurs, how long could Kobe last in terms of efficiency and physical fitness.

This was the biggest mistake Chen Mo made in the last game, so Chen Mo went directly to Kobe in this game.Chen Mo's defense is not particularly famous, but this does not mean that his defense is not good.Moreover, he is very suitable for a team like Kobe.

Bowen used to be known as Kobe's terminator, but in fact his defensive effect on Kobe was very good.But let him face James, he will be humiliated by James Huang very miserably.

Chen Mo's defensive effect on Kobe is definitely sufficient.In this game, the Warriors need to implement two points.The first is speed, and the second is Kobe's defense.

Bryant hit the top twice, then turned around and shot a jumper.

The Warriors didn't pinch, but Chen Mo gently pushed Kobe's waist before Kobe turned around.

Now, Kobe needs to use more waist and abdomen strength to stabilize his body.Chen Mo's push made Kobe very uncomfortable, and the ball could only bounce out of the basket in the end.

"Cunning!" Kobe glared at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo responded to Kobe's death stare with a grimace.

Howard grabbed the rebound, but his subsequent hook shot still bounced out of the basket.

Curry got into the basket and received the rebound, and the Warriors directly set off a high-speed counterattack wave.

Curry threw the ball to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo didn't dribble, and directly passed the ball to Thompson who followed behind.

Thompson faked a shot, but passed the ball to Green.

Millsap has already driven into the basket, and Green sends the ball directly to Millsap.

Millsap handed the ball back to Chen Mo. Chen Mo met the ball, pushed it with one hand, and the ball went to the unguarded Curry in the bottom corner.

Curry raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

The Warriors' series of passes in the counterattack is pleasing to the eye.

"Golden State's fast break is the most complicated and beautiful fast break," Barkley said.

The Warriors' fast-playing storm continued from the beginning, and the Lakers still relied on Howard's height advantage, as well as the firepower contributed by Kobe and Paul to entangle the Warriors.

The first time the Warriors opened the score was in the 6th minute of the first quarter, and they began to score.

Biedrins, who replaced Green, slammed Howard directly under the basket.The two of them got entangled and finally fell down together.

Howard was on top of Biedrins, and Biedrins complained that Howard deliberately elbowed, but the referee didn't watch the replay, nor did he call Howard's technical foul.

Missing two free throws, Millsap took the rebound.

The Warriors sought stability, and Chen Mo started a back attack against Kobe.

Chen Mo beat Kobe on his back, this is definitely the scene everyone wants to see the most.

Chen Mo continuously used his footsteps to shake Kobe's center of gravity. Suddenly he turned to the left, and Kobe took a step back.However, Chen Mo's body spun like a top, and he turned around and shot a jumper.

Kobe couldn't keep up with his movement, so he could only watch Chen Mo hit a fadeaway jumper.

After Chen Mo scored a goal, he saluted Kobe.

"A tribute to the predecessors?" Barkley said.

Only Kobe was not very happy, because after that, Chen Mo said to him, "The back wave of the Pacific Ocean pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach."

"Get lost!" Kobe said to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo responded with a smile: "You are too rude, I will invite you to the Angel Bar for a drink the day after tomorrow."

Kobe gave Chen Mo another hard look, and then continued to tell Chen Mo to get out.

When Kobe talked trash, he won by quantity in most cases. His vocabulary was much scarcer than that of Chen Mo.The reason why Kobe was angry was that the Angel Bar was on the Pacific Ocean, and it was a very famous sea view bar.

What Chen Mo meant was that Kobe was going to be photographed dead at the Angel Bar on the shore of the Pacific Ocean.

Kobe gritted his back molars and responded directly to a jumper from beyond the three-point line.

"Come on!" Kobe shouted to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded, then ignored Kobe.Kobe wanted to increase his points, so Chen Mo didn't want to play with Kobe.Who knows if he will blow up and explode again today, Kobe scored 50+, and the Warriors are also uncomfortable.

Chen Mo passed the ball directly to Curry and played without the ball.
