All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 828: Despair is coming! The last hope of the Lakers!
Obviously!
You ooh, what is it to punch you Feng Ge!
You are clearly using a sledgehammer to hammer your Feng's chest without a big stone, do you know?
The Staples Center.
Looking at Yao Ming, who was begging for the Lakers in the third quarter, Su Feng felt painful and happy at this moment.
The reason for his pain is because, this night, the scale of victory has gradually begun to lean towards the Warriors.
The reason for happiness is because, as a Yao Mi who had witnessed Yao Ming's injury in his previous life, at this moment, watching 33-year-old Yao who can still gallop in the NBA, Su Feng came from the heart Happy for him.
Of course, since the stadium is the battlefield...
It doesn't matter how good Su Feng's personal relationship with Yao Ming is.
At the moment.....
Killing each other is their only thought.
In the third quarter, the Warriors who attacked Yao Ming gave the Lakers a sense of oppression, and it was not just Yao Ming's individual singles.
If we say that in a basketball game, the performance of a team is rated in the form of scoring...
There is no doubt that both the Lakers and the Warriors can get 100 points.
But, under the reminder of Van Gundy Yulu, after finding the most accurate way to open this warrior...
Suppose the Lakers can score 100 points in two quarters and 90 points or close to 90 points in the other two quarters...
Under normal conditions, this warrior is the only one who can do it in the ages...
A team that can score 100 points in all four quarters.
Exaggeration?
It's quite exaggerated.
But at this moment, as the physical stamina of the Lakers players on the field began to decline, after Yao Ming used his inside attack to drive the Warriors' outside attack one step closer...
The Staples Center...
In this Western Conference G2 game, it's the Lakers fans' turn to turn on the autistic mode.
Playing this Warriors, no team can defend the zone, and no team dares to defend the zone.
However, the gap that accompanies the Lakers' defense is getting bigger and bigger...
For one night, even if Su Feng and Kobe joined forces to score 28 points in the third quarter, they couldn't stop them, and the point difference between the Lakers and the Warriors was further widened.
On the court, after three quarters, 98 to 88.
NBA conventions.
The visiting team warriors are ahead.
The home team Lakers are behind.
In the last quarter of the game, on the Warriors side, Yao Ming keeps going.
Although, because of the hand-to-hand combat in the third quarter, Xiao Yao, who was resisted by Xiaojia's life, lost a lot of physical energy...
But similar to the G1 winner Lakers, after Xiao Yao grabbed time for James, Curry and others to rest...
At this moment...
Just like then and then!
Beep——!
On the court, until the timer went to zero at the end of the quarter, the Lakers did not fill in the big hole they were blown out by the Warriors with mushroom eggs in the third quarter.
In the end, 128 is 118.
Warriors, while capturing Staples and tying the series with a 1-1 draw...
So successfully knocked out the Lakers' home court advantage in this round of Western Conference finals.
In the whole game, James and Yao Ming scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 29 points and 9 rebounds for the Warriors.
In addition, Klay, Ray Allen and Terry also scored 14 points, 11 points and 12 points respectively.
Stephen Curry, who hit a three-pointer at the backcourt buzzer for the Warriors in the first half of the game, continued his "excellent" performance at Staples. He made 2 of 9 shots in the game, including free throws, and got a total of 9 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists.
However...
After the game, when the Kuhei people frantically complained about Curry's "soft-footed shrimp", they didn't know that for the Lakers, Curry, who played poorly in the first two games, was in the true sense. "Ghost Story".
Because at the team level, after the first two games, this Lakers have already reached their limits.
And what about the Warriors?
Sorry.
This warrior is far from reaching their upper limit.
After the G2 game, looking at sitting side by side, Su Feng, who scored 39 points for the Lakers and Kobe, who scored 30 points for the Lakers this night...
For a while, even Billups, known as the "big heart", fell silent, wondering how to restore the team's morale.
From the results.
The Lakers lost only 10 points in this game.
But from the point of view of the process.
This is what the Lakers have experienced since their formation...
The most desperate game.
In the corner of the locker room, Wharton said after a long sigh, "It seems that only hope that Su Neng can turn on his'God of God' switch in all the next games."
And after hearing that, after patted Wharton on the shoulder, Lu Director said: "It's useless, Luke.
It is true that Sue has the ability to score five or sixty points in each game of this series.
But that can't change the results of this series at all. "
Looking at Director Lu’s meaningful eyes, a few seconds later...
Walton realized it.
Because in a basketball game, no matter how strong an individual’s expressiveness is, it will also be constrained by game time and physical fitness.
So even if Su Feng can turn on the switch of "the world under heaven"...
As long as the Warriors can continue to play efficient teamwork...
The Lakers also have a high probability of losing the scoring battle with the Warriors.
Basketball.
After all, it is a sport of five people.
Before moving to Oakland, the Lakers will spend a whole day thinking about their countermeasures. Then, they will fly to Oakland. After a day off on the 24th, they will meet the Warriors on the 25th. Decide the third battle.
After the G2 game, experts who are good at repeated horizontal jumps have been transferred to the "fifty years of brave honey camp."
What's interesting is that the wave of people who played the most fiercely against Guidance Lu before also carried out the most violent bombardment on Guidance Lu after the G2 war.
"There is an insurmountable gap between the Lakers and the Warriors. This year the Lakers are over!"
"It's not that I look down on the Lakers, but after losing their home court advantage, I doubt that they can survive five games in this round of Western Conference finals."
"The'God of Basketball' can't save the Lakers, because the Warriors' strength has far exceeded everyone's knowledge of the sport of basketball!"
The next day, on the morning of the 23rd, watching Su Feng, who has been sitting cross-legged in the center of the field since he came to the training hall with him...
Kobe, who has never seen Su Feng so few words, can't help it, "You are our leader!
Isn't it just a loss of a game? As for the autism until now? "
After hearing this, after looking up at Kobe like a neuropathy, Su Feng said with a dazed expression: "Who told you that I am autistic?"
Kobe sat next to Su Feng and said, "I know, for the sake of face, there are some things you can only tell me.
But Sue, when everyone comes, I still hope you can cheer up. "
After speaking, I saw Kobe leaned his shoulder towards Su Feng.
That appearance, that behavior, is almost like the male protagonist who lends his shoulders to the heroine to cry for a while in an idol drama.
It's a pity...
Su Feng not only didn't thank Kobe for his kindness, but gave Kobe a ferocious look.
Immediately afterwards, after a long sigh, Su Feng said in a melancholy tone: "Is it only me who thinks now...
Are we still holding the initiative in this round of the series? "
Kobe: "..."
Okay!
It seems that Su Feng does not seem to be autistic.
So, after a pause, Kobe said to Su Feng: "Since you think we still have the initiative, why are you sitting here and not talking?"
Su Feng was puzzled, and said: "Aren't I thinking about countermeasures?"
Kobe said "Oh", "Then have you come up with any countermeasures?"
Su Feng gave Kobe a weakly blank look, "I have an idea."
Kobe was overjoyed and said to Su Feng: "Let's talk about it!"
Su Feng groaned for two seconds, and said: "Soldiers will come to block, water will come to cover."
Kobe: "..."
No!
What kind of countermeasures are you girlie?
Looking at Su Feng, Kobe, who was out of anger, always felt that Su Feng had begun to "destroy himself".
However, as Su Feng uncovered Kobe's strength of this warrior little by little...
Kobe started to seriously think about every word Su Feng said.
In the G2 battle, after the Warriors split and reorganized their roster, the family is so strong that even Durant can’t wait to vote for the Warriors for free, not only in every quarter, but also a set. A luxurious lineup played.
Also, taking advantage of Xiaojia's importance to this team of Lakers, they have further expanded Xiao Yao's various advantages in the face of small overtime.
"It really hurts Mark.
If he can play at full strength, even if Yao can't be guarded, he won't be so embarrassed in the game. "Aside, while listening to Su Feng's analysis, Kobe expressed his opinions from time to time.
In the G2 game, Wharton once proposed to Lu Director to use Jordan and Whiteside to top the first half, and the Lakers to send Xiaojia to play in the second half.
But Director Lu rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.
Why?
Because Jordan and Whiteside are embarrassed by the task?
No.
Just because, in essence, this series of Lakers vs. Warriors is a more efficient offensive game than anyone else.
Sure.
The Lakers have been able to go all the way to the present, and the enthusiasm and vitality brought by Jordan and Whiteside on the bench are indispensable.
But once I lose Xiaojia...
Then when the Lakers dispatched Jordan and Whiteside to play, who should the Lakers stand in high positions and attack them?
On the offensive end, in the face of this full-quality series, the contributions of Jordan and Whiteside at this time are almost zero.
In this way, it will not only greatly increase the shooting load of Su Feng and Kobe on the court, but also make the Lakers' game more difficult.
In fact, to put it plainly...
It's because the Lakers' family is not as thick as the Warriors.
Different from Van Gundy who can use Curry, Yao Ming, James...and even Clay to take turns as the Warriors' offensive core.
Because Su Feng and Kobe play irreplaceable roles in the Lakers.
So Director Lu has always been very clear, only to make the Raul Meilien twins happy, the Lakers can have the last laugh in this round of the series.
So...
What if you use Jordan and Whiteside to top Yao Yao in the second half of the game?
Unfortunately, in the G2 battle, it is not that Director Lu has never made such an attempt.
Only after O'Neal retired.
No matter what "Warcraft", "Happy Beast", Howard you are...
In today's league, there is only Xiaojia who has the tonnage and strength to fight against Xiao Yao.
Therefore, the transformation that Van Gundy learned secretly from Lu's guidance is, in a sense, a trick.
Go on Yao Ming, and Jia has to get it.
Otherwise, the Lakers' inside lanes are destined to be chiseled by the little giant.
"Obviously, what kind of fairy teammates have you met in this life!" Looking at the ceiling of my lake training hall, Su Feng always felt that Xiao Yao was the destiny of this time and space.
Because if it weren't for the Warriors, the outside players would be tougher than one...
The Lakers have a big deal with Yao Ming.
But it's just the right head of this warrior...
Who dare to empty Curry, Clay, Terry, and Ray Allen, the four famous top pitchers in the three-point range?
"We have to give Mark enough physical strength to fight Yao.
In the G1 game, with the same playing time, although Yao was still very efficient at scoring...
However, compared to the 11-of-14 shooting in G2, when Mark is physically fit, he can still charge a certain cost of tolls when Yao singles him. "Looking at Kobe, Su Feng said firmly.
"What should we do?" Kobe asked.
"When Yao will go, we will let Mark go.
When will Yao play, when will we let Mark play! "After squinting his eyes, Su Feng said.
"But, didn't you just say that in our system, we can't use Mark like the Warriors use Yao?" Kobe asked.
Su Feng shook his head and said: "I said that before to tell you why we can't make changes like the Warriors."
Kobe seems to understand but unintelligible: "You mean, if we can figure out a way to not reduce the offensive efficiency when Mark is not on the court, then we can use Mark like the Warriors use Yao?"
Su Feng nodded, "And that way, I have found it now."
At this moment, looking at Su Feng who suddenly got up, Kobe understood everything in an instant.
"Do you know how crazy this is?" Kobe said to Su Feng, who felt his chest began to rise and fall.
"If you don't be crazy, you won't survive.
We can only defeat this crazy warrior if we are crazy. "Su Feng replied to Kobe with solemn expression.
But Kobe, who wanted to persuade Su Feng to persuade Su Feng, dismissed this idea after noticing the extremely determined look on Su Feng's face.
"We also need a player who can form a triangle with us when playing a triangle offense." Kobe reminded Su Feng.
"Sean.
He is fully qualified for this duty. "Su Feng said to Kobe.
"Do you know how I feel?" Bryant laughed.
"How does it feel?" Su Feng asked.
"I feel that, compared with the Warriors, if they are rich people who can buy what they want, then we seem to be poor people who have to plan for every piece of cheese." Kobe vomits road.
"It's a vivid metaphor, but there is also an old saying in my hometown called...
The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. "Turning his head to look at Kobe, Su Feng said jokingly.
……
Faced with the Warriors who moved out of their homes to hit people in the G2 battle, after thinking of various ways for the Lakers, those loyalists who still firmly support the Lakers turned on the autistic mode almost in an instant.
TNT TV station, Barkley said with a face of collapse: "We all know that the Lakers have to make changes to have a chance, but to be honest, I really don't know how they should change."
After the first two battles, the cards held by the Lakers and Warriors were already known.
And as Barkley said...
In the past two days, what has crushed the inner defense of the Lakers fans is that everyone doesn't know how the Lakers can regain the upper hand in this round of the series.
On the evening of the 25th, with the live broadcast on the TV, I cut into the Oracle Arena, watching Stephen Curry hit three-pointers in succession during the warm-up in the golden wave...
For a time, the supporters of the Lakers even noticed a little bit of trouble.
"I have no worries about Stephen's touch.
Basketball is like that, Stephen may miss some shots in some games.
But I believe he will definitely find his shooting feeling.
Because he is such an excellent player. "Before the game, in an interview with the host, I saw Van Gundy say so.
As the Lakers and Warriors moved to Oakland in the first matchup between the Lakers and the Warriors, in order to cheer the Warriors on, players from the San Francisco 49ers (NFL) also appeared on the sidelines tonight.
In 1975, under the leadership of legendary Warriors star Rick Barry, the Warriors who moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco and then from San Francisco to Oakland successfully won the NBA championship trophy for the 1974/1975 season.
However, what the supporters of the Warriors in the Bay Area did not expect is...
In the following quite a long period of time, the Warriors will gradually become a deceptive team.
Su Feng's previous life, it wasn't until 40 years later that the Golden State Warriors won the championship trophy after a 40-year absence.
In this life, even though Nash made a golden whirlwind in Oakland a few years ago...
But in the arena of the winners and losers of the NBA...
Before winning the championship, as Sloan said when he mocked himself some time ago...
The loser is destined to lower his head in front of the final winner.
So, when in Los Angeles, this Warriors proved their ability to overthrow the Lakers...
At this moment, they are the heroes of the Bay Area fans!
"This is outrageous, except for the enthusiastic home atmosphere I felt when I was explaining the dark battle...
This is definitely the most devil's home stadium I have ever stayed in my whole life! "On CCTV's live commentary, before cutting into the live broadcast, feeling the noise that had already exceeded 140 decibels, Su Junyang couldn't help but said to Yu Jia next to him.
There is no doubt.
For any visiting team.
Tonight, the Warriors’ home court is a **** on earth.
However, such a lively stadium...
Before the start of the game tonight, there was a sudden silence.
And the always astute live broadcast footage also aimed at Yao Ming who was sitting on the Warriors bench and the Lakers who was sitting on the bench...
Marc Gasol.
The former is looking up at the big screen at the scene, with doubts and puzzles in his eyes.
The latter silently unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup, pretending to take a sip innocently.
What is it that made Oakland Oracle Arena a library before it even opened?
What is it that made the on-site commentators in China and the United States shout crazy before the game?
In the center of the field, five starters lined up with the Lakers tonight.
At this moment, even Jeff Van Gundy, known as the "new mad scientist", couldn't help but start to pick up his skull.
Su Feng, Livingston, Green, Kobe, Rondo.
Although this is not Su Feng's first cameo center position in an NBA game.
But looking at the Lakers' starting lineup tonight...
The fans at the scene and in front of the TV still couldn't help asking:
This...
Is it the Lakers' change?
"Hey--! What the Lakers mean today is, as long as Yao Ming doesn't join, then I won't join Xiaojia?" CCTV, Su Jun Yang Jie, who learned Zhang's guiding tone, said.
"But under the circumstance of not requiring a small addition, Guidance Lu still surprised us tonight.
Because he actually pushed Su Feng directly to the fifth position! "Aside, Yu Jia exclaimed.
"Did they arrange this to allow Sue Neng to replace Mark as the starting point of the triangle offense when he is sitting off the court?" On the Warriors bench, the Warriors assistant coach looked at Van Gundy and asked.
Hearing this, Van Gundy shook his head.
Because the "bald handsome" who has been with the Lakers knows very well that the reason why this Lakers likes to use triangle offensive tactics in the game is only because the triangle offense is more suitable for them.
In the past games, singles were opened, Princeton...Basically, the tactics that you are famous in the NBA, this Lakers have used in the game.
So, if it's just for the triangle offense, then Xiaojia is far from the point where this Lakers can't do without him.
"As the level of the game increases, Mark's role on the court tends to become more and more irreplaceable." Looking back at his assistant, Van Gundy did not directly answer the question he just asked himself.
On the sidelines, after taking out the tactical board and fiddled with the magnet, Van Gundy pointed to the magnet symbolizing Xiao Jia and said: "As a player who plays with his brain, on the defensive end, Mark can not only defend himself. Most of the centers in this league.
Also, when the Lakers are defending against opponents from the outside, he is still a mobile fortress trusted by the Lakers outside players. "
"However, Mark's role on the defensive end is not irreplaceable.
Because DeAndre may sometimes do better than him when facing some more athletic opponents. "
After a pause, Van Gundy then fiddled with the magnet and said: "Look, now the Lakers are ready to attack, Mark is standing in this position..."
"In a modern basketball game, according to the offensive space theory proposed by John Davis, the key to whether your outside scorer can efficiently score on the court is whether you can provide a broad range of Attack space.
For NBA players, because the court is too small, the theory of inside emptying came into being. "
Looking at Van Gundy, after nodding, the Warriors assistant said: "Using the outside range of our center forward and the three-second defensive rule to pull the opponent's inside players out of the penalty area, our players can get more strategic depth. Space."
"That's it.
So currently on the market, big players with shooting ability are so expensive.
But different from other big men with shooting ability...
Because Mark is still an insider with high-level coping skills...
So, for this Laker, the more you play a strong team, the closer Mark's practical role on the court will be to Sue and Kobe.
Offensively, he is a key player in maintaining the balance between Suko.
On the field, as long as he can hold a high position, then the Lakers can switch as they wish, whether it is Princeton or the triangle offense.
Defensively, he is willing to do the dirty work, which is the guarantee for the Lakers perimeter players to take high-pressure defense against the opposing players.
In G2, we were able to suppress the Lakers in the second half.
It was because Yao perfectly suppressed Mark in the second half of the game. "After patted his assistant on the shoulder, Van Gundy said.
"However, tonight, Tyronn still has a change..." After a daze, the Warriors assistant coach has gradually realized why Van Gundy had just been picking his head.
Although in normal times when everyone is chatting, Van Gundy often uses Lu's guidance to start a fun...
But the Warriors' assistants are very clear in their hearts...
Taylon Lu is by no means as useless as some coaches and experts say.
On the contrary...
From the perspective of the Warriors’ think tank, Coach Lu has always been a coach who would never bet against you if he was not sure.
So...
Since Director Lu dared to adjust the starting lineup of the Lakers tonight, it means that, in his opinion, he believes that the starting lineup of the Lakers can compete with the Warriors.
"This is not the first time the Lakers have used five small lineups in a game.
But I always feel that tonight the Lakers' five small team will be completely different from before.
Interesting, Tyronn.
If Yao doesn’t come, Mark won’t...
Is this your response to us in this game? "On the sidelines, after looking at the Lakers bench, Van Gundy muttered to himself.
In the center of the field, at the moment when the starting five tigers of the two teams stepped onto the court one after another, they watched Su Feng walking towards the middle circle and preparing to jump the ball with Chandler to start the game...
Even if Kobe still doesn't want to admit it to this day, but in his heart, Kobe has already recognized that Su Feng is the **** of basketball in this era.
In the jump ball session, Chandler easily jumped off the opening first for the Warriors.
At the scene, in the cheers of nearly 20,000 Warriors fans...
After noticing that Kobe took a defensive approach in order to avoid grabbing his own hands, Curry dribbled directly into the right side of Kobe's deliberately emptying, and in a blink of an eye he entered the Lakers penalty area.
Although I don’t know why the Lakers will send such a set of five-minor starters tonight.
But it's an indisputable fact that the Lakers' inside height has dropped at this moment.
"In the first two games, in order to control our shots from the outside, the Lakers used a large number of these defenses in the game.
However, after the Lakers' inside height dropped, Tyron...
Where did you get your confidence and dare to make players defend like this? "On the Warriors bench, Van Gundy looked at his assistant with a puzzled look and asked.
Jeff.
Of course it’s because of the players guarding the inside line for the Lakers at the moment...
Is the "recognized" first center in NBA history!
Slap——!
Under the Lakers basket, in the attention of nearly 20,000 Warriors fans on the scene, Su Feng, who retreated to the penalty area, personally fanned Stephen Curry's basketball dream!
Kobe, who followed Curry all the way, grabbed the second spot.
The Lakers took advantage of the situation and pushed for conversion.
Danny Green quickly picked up Kobe's assist and made a layup.
2 to 0!
On the sidelines, on the Lakers bench, seeing this scene, Lu Gui could not help but be pulled back to the morning of the 23rd.
"You mean, it's up to you to be our center in the first two quarters?"
In the Lakers' training hall, at the moment Su Feng gave his suggestion, Director Lu immediately thought about the feasibility of this plan.
About five minutes later, I saw Director Lu touched his chin and said: "Indeed, it seems that only you as the center can we perfectly fill the vacancy where Mark is not present."
On the side, Wharton reminded: "But Tyron, in a basketball game, there is no rule that the opponent must use a center to match our Sue."
Guide Lu smiled and said: "Of course.
But Luke, have you ever thought that in this way, another of our players will be directly dislocated on the court? "
Wharton nodded and said: "But what about the defense?"
In Wharton's view, no matter how strong Su Feng is, he can't change the fact that he is only 201 cm after wearing shoes.
However, after shaking his head, Director Lu said firmly, "I believe in Su."
The camera returned to Oracle Arena. After Green took the first place for the Lakers, the Warriors had the ball.
James held the ball and raided the Lakers penalty area.
However, just as he made a layup, the ghostly Laker figure suddenly appeared in front of him!
ESPN Sports, ESPN's special guest tonight Daben laughed and said: "In terms of actual height, Su is even taller than me.
And since I can all play center, then Sue, why can't I play! "
The case is solved!
After so many years, people finally heard the fact that Daben had personally admitted that he was shorter than Su Feng.
In the Lakers restricted area, under the interference of Su Feng, the explosive package that James threw out of course deviated.
And then, Livingston, who was my Lake power forward tonight, also grabbed this backboard for the Lakers before Chandler!
On the court, it was the Lakers' turn to attack. The Warriors who learned the lessons just now retired quickly, and didn't give the Lakers a chance to convert directly.
However, after falling into position, the Warriors' defense still appeared flawed.
Because at the moment when Su Feng crossed the half-time...
The Warriors' players don't know who to play against him.
In terms of position, Su Feng is the starting center for the Lakers tonight.
But...
You can't really use Chandler to fight him on defense, right?
Wake up!
As far as Su Feng’s range is concerned, once Chandler is pulled near the LOGO area by him...
At that time, who else in the Warriors can protect the frame?
At the critical moment, James stepped forward and blocked Su Feng's receiving line in time, and made defensive instructions to Chandler with his eyes.
But, just as Director Lu said.
Whether the Warriors need Chandler to confront Su Feng...
Under the premise of Su Feng as the Lakers center, there must be a Lakers player on the field that will form a dislocation with the opponent's inside line!
On the left, Rondo, with quick eyes and hands, quickly transferred the ball to Livingston's hands.
Near the free throw line, after two consecutive sub-crotch dribbles, Livingston, who dreamed of returning to the era of "the chasing boy", had a long time to pass the addiction of breakthrough.
Bang, huh!
After breaking into the basket, Livingston single-handedly smashed the basketball into the Warriors hoop!
4 to 0.
At this moment, on the sidelines of the Lakers, Wharton couldn't help but remember the prediction made by Lue on the morning of the 23rd.
"Luke, do you remember what I said to you in G2?"
In the Lakers training hall, looking at Coach Lu, after nodding, Wharton said: "You said at the time that compared with this Warrior, we don’t have the ability to adjust the lineup unscrupulously like them. Ability."
After hearing this, after patting Wharton's shoulder with a smile on his face, Director Lu smiled and said, "That's right.
Therefore, we have to make a choice in the game. "
"It is true that no matter how much I trust Su, as the lineup height drops, our inside defense will not be able to effectively limit the Warriors' breakthroughs like the previous two games.
But as long as we can exert our mobility advantage on the offensive end..."
Wharton, who suddenly shines in front of him, added for Lu's guidance: "Then we can use scoring to make up for our defensive deficiencies!"
Director Lu nodded and said: "This is a trade-off we have to make.
Su is right, we have to have someone to deal with Yao.
And this person can only be Mark. "
"But anyway, because Sue, who is in the center position, will inevitably encounter more physical confrontations...
So, Tyronn, have you ever thought about it, if the Warriors use ‘air-conditioning tactics’ in the second half of the game, how should we respond by then? "Looking at Lu Director, Wharton raised the last doubt in his heart.
As we all know, since inside players can't avoid close hand-to-hand combat with opponents in basketball games, in the past five hours of death in the Lakers, Director Lu will strictly control the use of the lineup.
However, after the Warriors clearly split their luxurious lineup...
Be both a father and a mother.
Plus the intensity of this round of Western Conference finals cannot be the same as the Lakers' previous games...
So in Wharton's view...
Once entering the decisive moment, the Lakers can't guarantee Su Feng's physical fitness...
At that time, all the efforts the Lakers made in the first half of the room will be in vain.
"Don't worry. When I was a center, I would focus more on defense." In the Lakers' training hall, looking at Walton, Su Feng answered his mind for Lu's guidance Confuse.
"But in that case, what shall we do with our offense?" Wharton asked new questions.
After hearing this, Su Feng pointed to Livingston, who was training one-on-one with Kobe on the training ground.
"Don't we still have Sean'Sail Jordan'?" Su Feng smiled.
Wharton: "..."
Good fellow!
Is this the so-called "soldiers coming to cover, water coming to cover"?
"How do I feel, compared with the Warriors... We seem to be poor people who even buy a pair of leather shoes and think about whether they have to wait until the discount is on sale?" Wharton laughed at himself in the Lakers training hall.
Looking at Wharton, Su Feng was happy.
Because not long ago, Kobe had similar complaints.
The camera returned to the Oracle Arena again.
The Warriors' third offense after the opening tonight.
This time, James pushed into the basket and put the basketball firmly into the ring.
In order to control the number of outside shots made by the Warriors, like this kind of breakthrough, the Lakers inevitably have to give the Warriors.
Back, the Lakers attacked.
On the sidelines, Van Gundy's assistant suggested to him: "When the Lakers set up a small lineup, do we also change the small lineup?"
Van Gundy shook his head and said: "I am pretty sure that as long as we change the small lineup, the Lakers will immediately switch to DeAndre or Hassan."
After a pause, Van Gundy also signaled his assistant coach to be safe and restless, "Now, the Lakers are trying to crack our lineup.
Although, they can indeed use Su's dislocation advantage on the offensive end to give others a dislocation advantage.
But...
If we focus our attention on their role players, wouldn't it be the cart before the horse?
Furthermore, as long as the Lakers can't continue their offensive firepower on the court, I really can't think of any other way than to hold Sue and Kobe's thighs tightly. "
In the first two battles, Su Feng and Kobe's alternate singles were the Lakers' ultimate ultimate move.
But after the G2 war, Van Gundy believed that Director Lu would definitely cherish the physical stamina of Su Feng and Kobe.
Because in this round of the series, when entering the decisive moment, the Lakers not only have to ensure that Su Feng has sufficient physical fitness.
Moreover, they have to ensure that Kobe has a certain amount of physical fitness to support Su Feng.
Otherwise, facing the efficient offense played by the Warriors relying on the hard power of the overall lineup, the Lakers would simply not be able to take over.
And in simple terms...
If you say that the dark battle of that year, it was the Celtics and the Lakers who could not help each other.
In this new round of dark battle, no one can defend anyone, and can only be more stable than anyone's offense.
On the court, watching Livingston, who was forced to become the Lakers' vanguard tonight...
In front of the TV, God knows how nervous the Lakers are at this moment.
In the high position, Su Feng is responsible for the organization.
The side wing is for Kobe to open up the space.
There is no doubt.
Even Michael Jordan at the time had never experienced such a treatment.
On the Lakers bench, at the moment when Livingston was about to catch the ball and launch an offense, Director Lu turned his head and looked at Bogdanovic and said: "I will replace you in 6 minutes.
At that time, just as designed before the game, let's fire as much as you want, Bo Yang! "
At this moment, it is absolutely impossible for Van Gundy to think of...
Tonight, the Lakers’ starting point of attack will be played by "Sai Jordan" Livingston and "Sepipon" Bogdanovic.
On the Internet, whether it is Fenghei or Kehei, they all like black. These two people do not trust their teammates and prefer to come by themselves.
But, where do they know...
In this Lakers team, Su Feng and Kobe have never doubted the strength of their teammates.
On the field, after Kobe dropped the ball into Livingston's hands, without any hesitation, Livingston immediately picked up the basketball and launched an attack on the position guarded by Chandler.
As one of the fastest laterally moving centers among the NBA insiders, Chandler quickly posted it as soon as he noticed that Livingston was about to make an emergency stop.
However...
At the moment Chandler put it on, Livingston made a breakthrough along the inside with a flick of his wrist.
No!
Who said it to you, Livingston can only push and fall back.
Don’t you know that when he was running for the election, he was the recognized "successor to the magician"?
Although, the best physical fitness of the year is no longer there.
However, this does not mean that Livingston has slackened his skills training.
This ball is obviously not a shot.
but...
Worship Buddha!
The Warriors go to the basket, leave Chandler, Livingston will make another victory for the Lakers!
At this moment, while hammering his chest, Livingston also cast a grateful look at Su Feng and Kobe.
As for TNT TV station, Smith, who saw this scene, said with emotion: "Perhaps, the role player is destined to never reach the height of a super star in a lifetime!
But this does not mean that they cannot affect the progress of a game! "
There is no doubt about it.
In this round of Western Conference finals, the Lakers can only defeat the Warriors if they give full play to the characteristics of each role player.
"Seth, get ready, I will replace Kobe with you when there are 4 minutes left in this section."
"Chauncey, once Rajon has committed twice, you must replace him!"
On the Lakers bench, there is a lack of usual calmness, but at this moment, Lu's guidance has once again shown to the world that he far surpasses the extraordinary talents of other NBA coaches of his time in using role players.
The soldiers are here to cover the water and earth!
Before the final battle arrives.
Set up the stage for the super star.
Who said that small people can't make a big difference?
Oracle Arena, cutout steals from Lang's guidance!
Livingston, who ran forward at high speed, shook off James, who was the fastest retreat of the Warriors.
Catch the ball and run up.
Livingston, who knows that James and his idol Su Feng have the Hall of Fame badge badge, jumped up and leaped with all his strength. At the moment of jumping, he played a song "Miracle Reproduction" for himself!
It's like sunlight passing through the night!
The dawn quietly crossed the horizon!
Kang Dang——!
Oakland, Livingston stopped the Golden State Warriors!
On the Lakers bench, Thackeray, who missed my Lake’s playoff roster, waved his towel frantically, and turned his head to shout at the golden wave behind him:
"We are the Los Angeles Lakers!
We are the best team on the planet! "
On the sidelines, the scene of old Hornacek's heart attack also appeared.
Because I only saw the golden girl in the Lakers No. 23 jersey on the TV screen, isn't it Abby Hornacek who relied on Su Feng to get the VIP sideline ticket?
"How about it, the center, brother, is he more deterrent than Shak?" On the field, when he walked back to the bench with Kobe, Su Feng smiled.
Kobe shook his head and said: "Don't be kidding, just your defense tonight...Why should Shaq compare to you?"
On the live broadcast seat of TNT TV station, O'Neal suddenly sneezed.
"MD, it must be Charles again secretly speaking badly about me." After wiping his nose, O'Neill thought to himself in silence.
On the court, after a timeout, the game continues.
Van Gundy did not blindly adjust the Warriors' lineup.
In the first quarter of the game, after gradually stabilizing the position, the Warriors' powerful offensive firepower was quickly directly reflected in the score of the two teams.
Fortunately, in the second half of the first quarter, Seth Curry, who played as a substitute for Kobe, made two difficult three-pointers in a row under his brother's defense that caused Dale to defect to our Lake camp.
"Good job, Seth!" Dale Curry, wearing a Lakers jersey inside and a Warriors jersey outside, is definitely the happiest fan tonight.
Because whether it is the Warriors or the Lakers winning...
One of his two good sons will reach the finals.
Furthermore, the brave mistress at the scene did not dare to criticize him for his upright "defection" behavior.
Because a person is a father, what's wrong with cheering for his son?
You have the ability, you have to give birth to two sons who can meet in the NBA conference finals!
After the first quarter, at Oracle Arena, the score between the two teams was 36 to 37.
During the break, because of concerns that the Warriors will use air-conditioning tactics tonight, Wharton suggested to Director Lu: "Let's let Su take a rest."
However, Su Feng waved his hand to reject Wharton’s kindness, "Don’t worry, Luke.
In this round of the series, there is a high probability that the Warriors' home air conditioning will not be broken. "
Hearing that, Wharton was startled for a moment, then for a moment, and then quickly reacted.
Different from last season.
Because the winner between the Lakers and the Warriors this season is basically the championship of the 12/13 season...
So in this round of the Western Conference Finals internal friction has been very serious, in Su Feng’s view, unless the Warriors have been pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Lakers, otherwise, they would not choose this kind of killing one thousand enemies, self-defeating One thousand tactics.
Furthermore, even if the Warriors had adopted air conditioning tactics, Su Feng was right.
Because...
With one teammate after another who can share the scoring pressure for yourself, at this moment, you may not believe it...
Su Feng is the one who wants the Warriors to quickly turn off the air conditioner to play.
In the second quarter, with 10 minutes left, Lu director replaced Kobe, who was replaced in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter.
And when Curry, who was in line with Kobe's rotation time, silently swears in his heart that if his brother plays again, he must give his brother a cry...
Another advantage of the Lakers' five small lineups also quickly enabled Curry to open the autistic mode.
Because of the premise of Su Feng as the center, the Warriors on the field will inevitably be misaligned...
So even if Van Gundy hides Curry no matter how well...
It's impossible for elementary school students to always get help from their flanking teammates as they did in the previous two battles.
In the first quarter of the game, in the case of Livingston and Bogdanovic playing super-level successively, the Lakers were not in a hurry to beat Curry.
But at this moment, with "Sai Jordan" and "Sai Pippen" come to a rest...
I saw that Billups, who knew how to create the most comfortable offensive environment for his own scorer, took advantage of the opportunity of the Warriors' flanking defensive focus on Su Feng to directly summon Curry to Kobe.
Although, under Van Gundy's training in the past two years, Curry's defense has improved rapidly.
But in the face of Kobe, who is nicknamed "Los Angeles Malone", Cullina's slightly thin body, how can he stand Kobe's chisel?
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
On the court, watching Curry being beaten up in the corner by Kobe, James was desperately anxious.
But Su Feng, who always stood in the high position, made James dare not move a step.
At a critical juncture, when Kobe leaned on Curry and wiped into the Warriors' defense hinterland, Kirilenko took everything for Curry.
However, because the Lakers’ five small lineups have opened up the space, how could Kobe, who played with the upload button, fail to plan ahead?
At a 45-degree angle on the right wing, Old Chauncey went up and down, catching a pass from Kobe and hitting a three-pointer for the Lakers!
On the sidelines, on the Warriors' bench, watching the Warriors lineup dragged into the hard-fighting lineup by the Lakers' patchwork, Van Gundy, who was so angry, even thought about replacing Yao Ming in advance.
But Van Gundy held back after his anger and frustration.
As the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will be chaotic.
In Van Gundy's view, even if the Lakers' role players tonight exceed his expectations, in the second half of the game, the Warriors will still have the upper hand.
Because Van Gundy knows that in this round of the series, Yao Ming is the Warriors' absolute advantage on the court.
So, Tyronn...
Let you be proud of it for a while!
"We have all played so well, but the opponent still bit the score."
On the Lakers bench, looking at the alternate score card, Van Gundy might not believe it. Not only was Director Lu not half proud, but even...
He still has so many million points to cry.
Because despite the changes, the Lakers succeeded in following the team's pre-game policy, so that the team has sufficient physical protection in the upcoming second half of the game.
But compared to the Warriors who can send out a luxurious lineup every quarter...
The Lakers are still the team at the disadvantage.
Moreover, in this game up to now, the reason why the Lakers have been able to bite back and forth with the Warriors in the score is also due to Su Feng's excellent performance in the interior tonight.
Why didn't Van Gundy follow the Lakers in the first half of the game?
Because as long as Chandler is on the court, Su Feng must use all his strength to compete for position with him.
So, even if Su Feng didn't fire much in the first half of the game tonight...
His energy consumption is also not small.
It is true that, as Su Feng expected, the Warriors have no plans to come up with air conditioning tactics tonight.
But in such a round, every detail may decide the final series in front of...
Instructor Lu knows that at this moment, all he can do is pray.
Walton, who advised Su Feng to take a break during the break in the first quarter, gradually understood why Su Feng did not accept his suggestion.
Because if it's not for fear of Su Feng...
In that quarter, how could Kobe change Curry in front of him again and again?
This is the Golden State Warriors.
One after the Lakers tried their best...
The Lakers are still not qualified to make more active adjustments in front of them.
On the field, the Warriors attacked.
At the end of the second quarter with 3 minutes and 45 seconds left, Curry, who had been beating, finally avenged the Lakers with a three-pointer.
59 to 59.
And after a slightly distressed high-five with Curry, looking at his firm-eyed partner, James also saw in him a quality of will far beyond ordinary people.
"We will definitely win the championship together, Stephen!" There has never been a moment when James is so convinced that he will be able to win the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of the NBA team.
And after hearing this, after smiling, Curry said: "Of course, LeBron!"
In New York, watching the Western Conference Finals, where the ratings continue to break NBA records, David Stern, who is about to retire, couldn't help feeling: "Basketball is a **** sport.
Because it makes people want to stop! "
Oracle Arena, halftime, 67 to 67.
This night.
During intermission.
In the small locker room of the visiting team~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing Su Feng who was already in a meditative state, even Green and Finsen, who wanted to listen to a song to relax, hurriedly turned off their music players.
Quiet.
It's far quieter than imagined.
For fear of disturbing Su Feng, the Lakers players dare not make any noise.
Until the on-site staff came to remind the Lakers coaching staff that the intermission time is over...
Kobe just stepped forward and patted Su Feng on the shoulder.
At this moment, looking at the confidence and determination revealed in Su Feng's eyes...
The Lakers players seem to have borrowed courage from Liang Jingru...
What is a leader?
Leaders are players who can make all players trust him unconditionally, and can influence the morale of a team with words and deeds.
Before the second half of the game, watching Su Feng's back, Wharton, who was walking at the end, sighed to Director Lu next to him: "Sure enough, compared to the warriors' grand formation...
I still prefer to have players like Sue. "
Guide Lu smiled and said: "I think so too.
Because no matter how strong the Warriors lineup is.
As long as Su is there, you will never lose confidence in the game! "
