The NBA "Spring Festival Gala" really lived up to expectations, the Lakers and Warriors turned the world upside down, and both teams took out the ability to watch the house, and the viewing and topicality were straight to the grid.
About the comparison of the strength of the Lake Yong battle, yesterday's
A lot has been said in the middle, and the G1 is generally not out of that circle after playing.
The Lakers opened the scoring gap in the middle of the third quarter, they played the Warriors 13-3 in three minutes, these three minutes can be called the condensation of the whole game, the reason why the Lakers can finally accept the victory, the crux of the Warriors' black opening is in it.
Without further ado, let's start with the picture.
In yesterday's "There is a picture and the truth" Lake Yong battle preview, it was mentioned that the warrior facing thick eyebrows, will gain a completely different offensive and defensive experience from facing Xiao Sa in the first round, thick eyebrows' dynamic and static talents are above Xiao Sa, he can directly launch an attack from a high position, faster than Looney, higher than dreams, and it is difficult for the warriors to limit him.
The Lakers' three-minute wave began with a very easy breakaway layup with thick eyebrows, and Looney couldn't keep up with the speed at all. Looney also played quite well this game, grabbing 23 rebounds, although some of his small movements wandered around the violation, but as long as the referee did not blow, it cannot be said that people fouled, and the card position and scrambling ability are indeed strong.
Changed to an average center, Looney's 10+23 performance is enough to burst, but the thick eyebrows are 30+23, the same rebound, and three times the score. There is a situation called talent suppression, and if you don't comply, you can't do it.
The gap between Looney and Thick Eyebrows is not only height and bounce, but also technical level. When the Thick Brow Slam Dunk is scored, it's the Warriors' turn to attack, pay attention to the Thick Eyebrow's defensive position, the distance between him and Looney is quite far.
The defensive intention of the thick eyebrows is obvious, I let you shoot, what else can you throw?
We said in the preview, Looney and Chasing Dream on the court together will inevitably drag space, thick eyebrows do not care about Looney who holds the ball in the high position, concentrate on squatting under the basket, Looney has no basket in the middle and long distance, can only play with Wiggins. Thick eyebrows guard the penalty area, the mouth brother can't play, the ball is in the bottom corner of the dream.
Chasing Dream gets the ball at the three-point line, James also means to shoot, and only when Chase Dream crosses hands with Curry, Old Jen saves it. Vanderbilt gave elite-level roundabout cover, and James caught Curry on the sideline, forcing Curry to return the ball to Chasing Dream, and Chasing Dream's forced layup was blocked by Jamei.
This defense is the essence of the Lakers' defense, Lu chased him in the high position to let him shoot, "Biao" disassembled the cover to chase Curry, and Zhan Mei squatted to guard the box. The Warriors only made 6 free throws this time, not because the referee favored the Lakers, but because they rarely had a chance to hit the basket, and even if they barely got in, it was hardly a threat to make the Lakers pay for a foul.
As mentioned in the preview, the Warriors will inevitably face thick eyebrows in some rounds, because Lu has a hard time chasing and defending, which tests the Lakers' three-point response. The Lakers were evenly matched with the Warriors in the first half, mainly because they missed three-point shooting, 8 shots and 7 irons.
However, the Lakers did not shoot, not because they were interfered with by the Warriors, but because they did not seize the opportunity. The Warriors pack thick eyebrows, will inevitably give some outside openings, according to the law of conservation of projection, iron the first half, the second half is likely to pick up.
In the third quarter, the Lakers made four three-pointers, while the Warriors scored three three-pointers in the quarter. The Lakers have an absolute advantage in attacking the basket, and if the three-point shot can still prevail at some stage, the Warriors will be difficult to parry. So, Reeves, who made 2 of 2 three-pointers in the third quarter, is credited a lot, and he is the one who unlocked the long-range shooting skill package for the Lakers.
When Reeves made this three-pointer, the Lakers led by five points, which was not a big difference, but Kerr immediately called a stop, because once the Lakers came three-pointers, the Warriors were too dangerous.
After the timeout, Curry threw a three-pointer, this ball is too difficult, thick eyebrows still ignore Looney, old Jen also put dreams in the high position to live, James eyebrows received basket protection, thick eyebrows this 4 blocks, old Jen is 3 caps, they are squatting in the penalty area, waiting for the Warriors to come to eat "hot pot".
Cole used troops to be in a dilemma, not letting Lu chase together, if only put a big man, he would be even worse by thick eyebrows, but they both played at the same time, and the sense of space constipation was too strong. The Warriors shot 53 three-pointers this time, which is really no way, can't get in.
Although Curry scored this ball, the difficulty factor is very high, Vanderbilt is not afraid of Curry to hit it, he is even happy to drive Curry to the box, there are James eyebrows waiting for the block, Curry also knows that rushing in to shoot is more difficult than throwing three-pointers, it is better to shoot outside. Vanderbilt's cover this time is still textbook, and Curry can score really well, pure hard solving.
After Curry made a three-point shot, James made a mistake and the Warriors got a chance to fight back. Thick Eyebrows showed what is the highest level of defensive mobility and defensive coverage, and there was a top-notch aerial conversation with Wiggins.
Judging from the bottom line shot, the thick eyebrows' defense this time is to cut the ball first, and then get up and block, this defensive reaction speed is too scary.
When Thick Eyebrows was still in high school, NCAA coach Bobby Knight went to watch his game, and after watching it, he was very excited to call his friend: "Guess what I just saw?" That kid was the young Bill Russell! ”
Coach Knight is right!
After the thick-eyed defensive package was thrown out, Reeves came with a layup. Curry's defensive attitude is no problem, and the defensive confrontation has also improved after gaining muscle, but he is still not a defensive titan, and the Lakers are interested in finding Curry to play this time.
In terms of lineup, Kerr can use a three-guard lineup to pull full firepower, but Curry and Poole are not very defensive, Klay's defense has regressed due to two major injuries, and in the face of the Lakers' size-advantaged rushing basket team, the small lineup of three guards is very difficult on the defensive end.
Reeves' breakthrough reflects the Lakers' offensive thinking in this game, playing the ball to the basket whenever possible. The Lakers can shoot 6 of 25 from three-pointers, and the penalty area is 54-28 to explode the Warriors in the wind, one is that the ability to punch hard is really strong, and the other is that the Warriors are not large enough to prevent the Lakers from playing the basket is really difficult.
Next is Klay three points not to score, or the old problem, can not attack can only shoot three points, the Warriors this game offensive options are too narrow. The Lakers launched a counterattack after the Warriors did not score, the Warriors' defense is somewhat similar to the Lakers, but also sinking the basket, the Lakers' cracking method is different from the Warriors' direct shot after blocking, Reeves dribbled into the compression defense, and then played a pass with Vanderbilt to seize this three-point opportunity.
There is a difference in detail between the three points that Klay missed and the three points that Reeves hit, and the defense he faced. The Lakers shrink the basket without splashing, so when Klay shot, Russell squeezed through cover to interfere, Reeves let go of the dream to assist the defense, and Reeves this ball, the Warriors' defense was pressed deep enough, Reeves' shooting space was much larger than Klay.
The Warriors are pure three-pointers, the Lakers are pressing the defense and then shooting, in the final analysis, it is the difference caused by the difference in offensive baskets.
The next round, Clay threw a mid-range shot. The Lakers' defensive formation is that James Mei continues to ignore Lu Chase, Reeves guards Kurica to the bottom line, that is, rushes to the basket, Vanderbilt bypasses Looney's cover to chase Klay, and Jam Mei forms a defensive encirclement of front block and back pursuit, destroying Klay's shooting.
In the preview, let's say that the Lakers' defense is not comparable to the Kings, their defensive resources and pertinence are first-class, and this ball is a showcase.
Then there was James's long-range shot that stretched the point difference to 10 points, and this goal was so big for the dream, mainly because the thick eyebrows were cutting in, and the dream did not dare to pounce, so that Old Jen was as easy to shoot as he was training.
This is the deterrent power of attacking the basket, and the movement of one person with thick eyebrows allows the Warriors to withdraw to the basket and directly give the Lakers a three-point opening.
After Lao Zhan's three-point shot fell to the basket, it was the performance moment of the first ruthless man in Los Angeles "Biao". This time defending, thick eyebrows are still ignoring Looney who is in high possession, Wiggins takes the ball to single Russell at the bottom line, because the thick eyebrows guard the bottom line position, and the mouth brother can't break through. Looney gave Curry a cover and tried to help Curry get rid of Vanderbilt, but "Brother Biao" went around the cover ability and followed all the way to the big hat.
The conclusion of this issue of "There is a picture and the truth"
Those three minutes are why the scales of victory are tilted in favor of the Lakers. Objectively speaking, the Warriors made 21 three-pointers, which is enough to win in most games, but the Lakers are an exception.
The Lakers gave close to the limit of attack and basket protection, the Warriors shot only 29.2% in the box, and the Lakers were 61%. The same is to pull the advantage skills full, the Lakers' rush to the basket not only has higher efficiency, but also the added value of getting free throws, and although the Warriors' three-point shooting rate is fierce, the shooting rate of 39.6% is not low, but it is not a grade compared with the efficiency of the Lakers' penalty area, and it also does not bring free throws.
The Warriors lost so miserably 6-29 in free throws precisely because even if the referee wanted to give the Warriors a free throw, he couldn't give it, how do you blow it when you float outside?
However, the Warriors will not be frustrated by this game, the Lakers have shown their offensive and defensive advantages under the basket so fully, the difference is only 5 points, and this series is still played.
The problem that Kerr needs to solve is how to make Curry get better shooting opportunities, or how to use Curry's pulling to open up space under the basket of the Lakers, Curry's 3 assists and 5 errors are very hot.
Second, after Poole's offensive feeling returns, will he increase the proportion of the use of small lineups and play a knife-to-knife battle with the Lakers? It is dangerous to play like this, but the advantage of the Warriors lies in their projection, Lu chasing together will weaken the advantage, the opponent is the King, it is good to say, it is difficult to say whether it is the Lakers.
The series has just begun, so don't underestimate the heart of the champion.
