Super Small Forward

After Kobe also ravaged Curry for two consecutive goals, the Warriors had to shift their defensive attention to Kobe and Antetokounmpo. Barnes and Curry switched to super small forwards.

.

When Liu Ren took the ball, Curry did not retreat, nor did he not retreat. Just as he was thinking about whether to stick or break through, Liu Ren directly crushed Curry...

The Lakers played against Curry, the Warriors' weakest defensive link, so Liu Ren took the ball and singled Curry.

When Liu Ren* made a three-pointer, dunked with a strong inside line, and had a crushing breakthrough, Curry ran away, hitting three-pointers and long shots in a row!

D'Antoni’s original purpose was to anger Curry, make Curry lose his mind and do it alone, and then use Liu Ren to post defense, allowing Curry to play a terrible game super small forward in the case of emotional breakdown.

But I didn't expect Curry to be terrible today! 4 of 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, all kinds of strong shots against Liu Ren forced the Lakers to double-team, but Curry was still not accurate under double double-teaming. When the Lakers' defensive attention was all on Curry At the time, Randall took the ball directly, used his physical advantage to brutally break through the inside line, attracting the defense and creating opportunities for his teammates. Curry attracted most of the outside defense. Barnes and Thompson had a large number of three. Divide the opportunity.

Although the Lakers' three major perimeters have repeatedly scored on Curry, the Warriors scored 41 points after the Lakers scored 32 points in the first quarter!

The Warriors scored 11 three-pointers in the first quarter!

You must know that before last season, most teams could not make 11 three-pointers after a game!

Wharton perfectly demonstrated his courage in this world-focused battle. When he said to attack, he attacked, even if his opponent caught their defensive hole, he was attacking.

By the second quarter, the Warriors began to defend themselves. Livingston, Thompson, Iguodala, McAdoo, and Bogut played.

Unlike Steve Kerr's coaching, Iguodala's coping ability is not very attractive to him when Wharton is here. Walton is more willing to use Iguodala's defensive and counterattack capabilities.

Maybe it’s because I felt like I played very well in the first quarter, and the result was still nine points behind, making the Lakers a little flustered. D'Antoni and Bickerstaff didn’t know why they didn’t make any special instructions, but used normal The play style sent Clarkson, Nick Young, Korver, Gasol, and Black to line up. The result was targeted by the defense strategy prepared by the Warriors. Not only did the Lakers not shrink the score in the second quarter, but instead half At the end of the game, the Warriors opened the score to 64 to 53, which was 11 points behind!

The 11-point difference became a seemingly close but very far distance.

The scene looks like the two sides are actually on the same level from the beginning, and there are contacts, but from the point of view, the Warriors have been leading the super small forward since they scored the first goal.

In the end, the Lakers played a very good offense, but failed to defend the Warriors. Instead, they were prevented by the Warriors' long-prepared strategy during the rotation!

The Lakers scored 112 points in this game, but the Warriors scored 127 points and finally defeated the Lakers by 15 points...

...

...

It’s strange that Walton felt weird from beginning to end of this game. It was not that the Lakers played abnormally, but that the Lakers played too normal today. This is the strangest thing about Walton.

Today the Warriors played extremely unrestrained, offensively attacking, and defensively defensive. Compared with the previous more than ten games, it looked extremely uncomfortable.

But the Lakers played too calmly. In the last quarter, the players saw that they were still ten points behind. They wanted to work hard, but D'Antoni was replaced by a cool player. This made Walton feel too strange. Up.

After the Spurs were eliminated in the playoffs last year, Walton's working relationship with the Spurs ended. He returned to Los Angeles to watch the Lakers playoffs. The Lakers made bold defensive tricks in the playoffs last year. Barnes, the third scorer, achieved unexpected results. Barnes directly dragged the Warriors down in the Western Conference Finals last year.

Originally today, Walton thought the Lakers would continue to use some tricks, such as letting go of Barnes again, trying to play Barnes again under pressure.

Wharton has established a very good relationship with Barnes, regardless of the hint that he can do it in his heart, he is the future of the Warriors, and instill confidence in Barnes.

Although Barnes does not have the talent of a superstar, he still has the talent of a top scorer. He has improved a lot after entering the fourth year of his career. After being recognized by the coach, his mentality will be much better. If the Lakers continue to let go He will completely fall into Walton's trap of super small forward.

But Wharton didn't realize that this trap was useless at all, and the game won.

The Lakers use the most normal style of play from start to finish, that is, the way they play against a normal team. I haven't thought about a change or something. Of course, the Warriors have studied the Lakers' conventional play style for a long time. , It is easy to find a way to target and easily win the first game of the season against the Lakers.

Wharton is very upset. There is no thrilling feeling of winning. He has already made a lot of preparations to deal with many possible changes in the Lakers. He wants to further prove his coaching ability. The result is so light. You won easily. It feels like when you go downstairs, you thought there was still a step, but you went straight to the next level. Although the goal was achieved, you just felt uncomfortable.

...

...

On the Warriors side, the players won, Curry scored 45 points, the Warriors won, and the coach felt unhappy.

On the Lakers' side, the players lost so badly and the fans felt that the loss was baffling, but the coach was fascinated.

The Lakers players may have won too much last year, and this year they feel very uncomfortable with losing.

Especially Liu Ren, he feels that D'Antoni clearly found a way to deal with the Warriors in the playoffs last year. Why didn't he try this game? And in the middle of the fourth quarter, when he couldn't help but want to take the ball alone, D'Antoni replaced him on the grounds that he was not calm. Liu Ren felt very good today. He scored 37 points in three quarters and he chose to go directly. Find D'Antoni for an explanation.

When Liu Ren caught fire and found D'Antoni, he found that D'Antoni and Bickerstaff seemed to be waiting for him.

"Bernie, I said the boss would come to me, I guessed it, you paid for the wine tonight." D'Antoni laughed.

"You know that the boss will be dissatisfied and still do this. You really have your super small forward." Bickerstaff smiled and shook his head. As the league's first high-paid assistant coach, he can still afford a little alcohol.

Liu Ren stunned for a moment and said, "Coach, do you know I will come to you?"

"Of course, you want to ask me why I didn't use the method of last season to defend against the Warriors?" D'Antoni asked rhetorically.

"Yes..." Liu Renza felt a little weaker.

"What do you think of Barnes' shooting performance today?" D'Antoni continued to ask.

"Very accurate..."

"Yes, very accurate, so we can target the Warriors' defense without experimenting, and we already know the answer. We don't have a better way for the time being, so I want to see if the Warriors can deal with the Warriors' full offensive. Nee carefully observes the flaws in the Warriors' full attack."

"Then why don't we fight it in the fourth quarter?"

"Well, boss, the game is over. Are you going to the press conference with me today?"

"Don't go." Liu Ren puffed.

D'Antoni smiled helplessly at Bickerstaff, and then took Antetokounmpo and Whiteside, the Lakers' second-best performer today, to the press conference.

As for Kobe, he seems to be deliberately reducing his role, choosing to give the opportunity to participate in the press conference to young players as much as possible.

...

After D'Antoni left, Liu Ren found it strange to see Kobe doing a physiotherapy massage comfortably without much influence.

This is Kobe, the super small forward! After losing a game against the worst enemy, there was no reaction at all. There was no Kobe among the players who were so angry just now.

"Zha Ke, why don't you seem to care about winning or losing the game, or you should retire." Liu Ren said uncomfortably.

Kobe was not angry, and responded: "NoNoNo, I have to win a lot of championships, and who said I don’t care about winning or losing, but if I lose, I lose. Can I come back again? It’s just a regular season. That’s all, our goal this year is no longer to break records, so I don’t want to do it a second time for the regular season victory."

"But in this case, we are likely to be thrown away by the Warriors, and we are not No. 1 in the West." Liu Ren was very concerned about this. He and Curry boasted that he would solve the Warriors in minutes, but But found that the firepower is indeed inferior to the Warriors, the Warriors have too much firepower.

"No. 1 in the regular season? This thing doesn't make much sense." Kobe pouted, and he found that even if Liu Ren had been playing for 4 years, he was still not that mature.

Kobe is also an Internet addiction uncle now. After two years of exposure to electronic technology, he has read a lot of things on the Internet that he hadn't seen when he could not go online or use electronic products.

For example, Liu Ren in Kobe's eyes is a species he newly understands called House Control. This kind of person will do a good job when he has the opportunity to do something, and will do everything, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to mature psychologically.

"Is it meaningless to be first in the regular season?" Liu Ren asked unconvincedly.

"Yes, but it doesn't make much sense. In fact, I won the championship before partnering with you. Only once was the first in the regular season. In many other times, it was not even the first in the Western Conference. Especially when I partnered with Shaq for three consecutive championships. At that time, it was only third in the Western Conference, but we were still invincible in the playoffs, and easily won three consecutive championships. At that time, I...Tell you, it is much more powerful than now..." Kobe began to recall the tragic years. ...

"Stop, stop, I understand, I know you want to say that the regular season record is not as meaningful as I thought, but today’s problem is not here, but we did not even resist today, we were defeated, whenever we want When he came, the coach emphasized playing in accordance with the tactics, why not fight it?" Liu Ren is still an angry super small forward.

Once again, Kobe thought that when he was young, he was just like Liu Ren, who was like Liu Ren. When he was thinking about it, Kobe looked at Liu Ren, thought about it, and said, "Maybe Mike has his ideas. Sometimes it’s just right for us to play well, follow the arrangements and trust the coach."

Kobe actually seems to have trust in D'Antoni? Liu Ren said he was hell, and even thrown aside his own **** thoughts.

It is necessary to know that the only coach Kobe trusted throughout his career is Zen Master. He may not listen to what other coaches say. He will fight himself when he goes up. Only Zen Master can trust him. Unexpectedly, D'Antoni also gave Kobe trust.

Liu Ren began to feel depressed again. He is now not entangled in losing the game without struggling, but entangled where D'Antoni is to give Kobe a sense of trust.

Liu Ren has a lot of contempt for Kobe, such as careful eyes, black belly, etc., but the respect for Kobe has not diminished. Kobe, a guy who has only served as a coach, trusts D'Antoni, and Liu Ren is very natural. The trust in D'Antoni, after all, D'Antoni just led the Lakers to the championship.

Liu Ren began to wonder what D'Antoni wanted to do today...

...

...

At the press conference after the game, Kobe and Liu Ren did not come today, and both of them played on the court. Liu Ren didn’t say anything. They often didn’t come. Everyone was used to it, but Kobe played the game but didn’t. Come to the press conference, which makes the media seem to smell some gossip.

Is Kobe not coming because of the loss, or because the Lakers have weakened his role on the court?

Resolutely, the reporter asked about this in the first question, or that the media's focus was on the Lakers, but the Warriors who clearly won were left out of the super small forward.

"Coach D'Antoni, why didn't Kobe come to the press conference?"

D'Antoni replied: "This is very simple. Kobe is not satisfied with his performance today~www.readwn.com~ Actually I am not satisfied. If he has better running ability, such as Barn of the Warriors With the running ability and open shooting ability like that, our offense will be greatly improved."

The media's eyes lit up, and the catchy title "D'Antoni attacked Kobe's running position" entered their brains.

D'Antoni's answer also gave the reporter the next question: "Do you think Barnes is excellent? If I remember correctly, Barnes was your breakthrough in defeating the Warriors in the playoffs last year."

"This, I always think Barnes is very good. You have seen it today. As long as he is given a chance, he can make it. As for last year's playoffs, I think it is a matter of employing people. Now they have a younger and more daring to employ people. Barnes’s coach is already a superstar, and Barnes has fully improved. I originally planned to use the same defense as last season’s playoffs against the Warriors, but the boss discussed with me before the game. After that, I watched Barnes's outstanding performance this year, so I had no choice but to give up last season's tactics." D'Antoni said nonsense seriously.

Walton was stunned. It was the first time he was a head coach this year, and it was only temporary. The previous games were also won easily, and it was the first time he encountered such a provocative opponent head coach.

Wharton refuted this, as if he was saying that he couldn't, how could a man not? Admit it, it was too arrogant again, which made Walton very embarrassed and could only keep silent.

Next, D'Antoni praised Barnes and Walton to death, as if there was no loss, and he was very happy to see the rise of a young small forward and the strong entry of the young coach.

Wharton also began to be as depressed as Liu Ren, what is D'Antoni doing! Read the latest chapters of "Super Little Forward Claw Machine Bookstore" for free for the first time.
