In the third game, the Lakers trailed the Warriors by 11 points at home, but then a tornado climax moved the position of the thick eyebrows, so it swept the Warriors.
Got 2 to 1.
Coach Hamm is not quick to move, but dense and powerful:
After the second quarter began to change moves, the sticks rained down, choking the throat, and did not let the warriors gasp.
At one point early in the second quarter, the Lakers trailed 29-40.
The previous situation was very weird: LeBron has been in the world for two decades, 275 playoff games, and today he shot 0 in the first quarter for the first time; The Lakers relied on Russell for 13 points in the first quarter — LeBron fed him two three-pointers.
The Warriors' defensive strategy can be seen from DiVincenzo's three-second violation on the weak side of the first half:
Small ball lineup, strong side pressure, forcing the Lakers to the sideline with the ball, wrapping people into traps, piling people in the box.
LeBron knew that he couldn't get in, so he didn't shoot: go to the bottom line, lead the pinch, find Russell; The thick eyebrows hit the left waist back, and it was also a sharp bottom line turn.
Russell scored 13 points in the half, another sake:
Countering him was Clay. Clay is now far from his peak in traverse, and he is used to leaning to the side in advance, cutting off the opposite breakthrough route, and the no-ball rotation will also be a slower beat. Russell started the game with Clay, supporting the Lakers offense.
But Clay couldn't get out of the last bully thick eyebrows, and he had already tasted the sweetness, 30 points and 8 three-pointers; Returning to my hometown of Los Angeles today, how can you be soft?
In the first quarter, he couldn't see the thick eyebrows again, and scored three three-pointers to regain the momentum of the Warriors; Although Poole came up in the second quarter with two mistakes, Chase Dream and Curry gave him the bottom, and the Warriors led 40-29.
So the Lakers changed their tactics.
In fact, the change began after a three-and-a-half-minute timeout starting in the second quarter, when the Lakers were trailing 26-34.
On the defensive end, thick eyebrows out of the box to the three-point line expanded.
On the offensive end, the Lakers picked up speed, and LeBron began to play a back-to-back attack.
So the Lakers wave rose 30-8.
After the thick eyebrows came out of the box, the Warriors couldn't open the outside. In the second half of the second quarter, Wiggins made a strong shot from the left wing and Curry scored a basket.
Since the Lakers' defense has been strengthened, they have the opportunity to counterattack and speed up, chasing after them in a hurry, so that Moody fell to the ground, seeing that he couldn't defend himself, and tripped.
LeBron hit his back and didn't score much — his cleanest point was counterattack — but sitting and scoring in, the Lakers had more ideas for the ball.
LeBron first sits at the free throw line, waits for the thick eyebrow bottom line to cut inside, and feeds him the ball; After that, thick eyebrows went to the top of the arc to do shaft instigation, and found an opportunity to attack the basket, and he was fouled after dreaming.
——Let LeBron, who can no longer rush up in positional warfare but has superior strength, sit and fight his back, and let the thick eyebrow basket that is very precious and should not be mixed with dreams rush up, a good strategy.
Thick eyebrows pressed outside the box, LeBron led the speed counterattack, the Lakers multi-point basket impact, 21 free throws in the first half, 30-8 climax turned the tide.
But it's not over.
In the second half, the Lakers continued to use a trick that they used in the first half:
Reeves, who was bullied by Clay miserably in the last game, the Lakers used him to counter Curry.
This series defends Curry's dutiful Van der Biao, and the Lakers use him to pursue dreams.
Thick eyebrows against the fake Green who has the least offensive firepower in the Warriors' starting lineup.
- Reeves shot 0 of 5 in the first half, is this to punish him for public execution?
- But after watching a round, the magic comes out:
Curry hit Reeves, once called Dream Block Removal, the Lakers immediately changed defense, Van der Biao buckled Curry again; No matter who the Lakers change defense, they can't move their dreams; And Curry broke through Reeves or Van der Biao, and the thick eyebrows were still behind them.
The defensive end let Reeves and Curry just go, and the second half began, Reeves who shot 0 of 5 and attacked Curry three in a row.
"Curry is going to be angry in the third quarter, probably to call the block to remove Van Debiao to vote for us - then we change the defense in advance, so that Van Debiao can change the defense of Curry."
"Then Curry got angry and beat Reeves directly?"
"Before Curry fires, Reeves, you go and consume Curry's physical energy first!"
What a brilliant idea.
Thick eyebrows were in charge of fake Green, but they were not idle, sweeping the whole court, cutting the passing route.
Chasing Dream hit Russell on his back, and Clay tried to find Curry's off-ball run, but they were cut off by Thick Eyebrows: then LeBron sat on his back, gave Thick Eyebrows a pass to lead him inside, and Chasing Dream committed a fourth foul.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers this Borives against Curry + Van der Biao against the dream + thick eyebrows sweep + thick eyebrows inside, and hit the Warriors 8-2 in one breath, and then chased the dream twice in the half quarter.
The game is actually here, it's almost there.
But only then did the heroic nature of both sides appear.
Although thick eyebrows are the axis of the series momentum transformation, the series slogan, after all, is Curry vs LeBron.
Curry tried to attack the thick eyebrows, cast a Nash style "call cover to rush into the basket to find the reverse basket", and was sent by the thick eyebrows with a fourth block, but Wiggins made a game-best dunk to try to boost morale.
- Wiggins is the last person outside of Curry for the Warriors today to give up the game. When he was overwhelmed by the Lakers in the second quarter, he made a three-pointer against LeBron on the left wing; When the third quarter was about to collapse, he snapped angrily.
Taking this as an opportunity, the warriors finally rushed a wave:
Wiggins changed his thick eyebrows to make him an offensive foul, Curry rebounded a frontcourt and made a three-pointer, and countered with the ball from Russell.
If that counterattack is successful, the Warriors will regain momentum, and then LeBron's most provocative play of the game:
Rushed back to defense, copied the Warriors' pass, couldn't stop the car, and almost ran into the aisle with a puff of smoke.
It was the turning point of momentum in the third quarter, when LeBron returned from the sidelines, bathed in the applause of the audience and went down to rest; Curry made Poole's bad offense and chased it down by 10 points, so LeBron, with just 1 minute and 11 seconds of the break, came back.
Coach Hamm choked the Warriors' throats: At critical moments, the Warriors cannot be allowed to rise.
Van Gundy thinks LeBron is back right: "It's just 12 points, and it's a dangerous moment. ”
LeBron made a layup, covered Poole, made two free throws and a jump shot, and it was 86-66, and the game was effectively over.
The symbol of the end is: after the third quarter, he went down with the thick eyebrows. Van Gundy talks to Mark Jackson:
"Thick eyebrows, why do you have to have a standing ovation?"
Thick eyebrows today 4 blocks and 3 steals, Mike Brin chanted "he did everything for the Lakers". In fact, although the thick eyebrows had 13 defensive rebounds, the Lakers lost to the Warriors in all rebounds. After all, thick eyebrows sweep everywhere and can't be a pillar of Optimus in the box, but because of his defensive dominance, the Warriors can't grab a rebound in the front court.
In the 16 minutes before the thick eyebrow expansion, the Warriors led 40-29; In the 12 minutes after the thick eyebrow expansion, the Warriors scored a total of 10 points.
Of course, Van Debiao's defensive efforts to chase dreams and block and replace Curry, Reeves directly confronted Curry at the beginning of the third quarter, and Walker played the defensive efforts, similar moves are ingenious, but the core is the expansion of thick eyebrows.
LeBron's second-quarter acceleration and third-quarter catch-up fueled the Lakers: The Lakers started from his back and ended with two free throws after he gave Poole a block to open up 16 points. There was no suspense after the fourth quarter gap opened, but the basis was an endless number of tough defenses in the second and third quarters.
As mentioned above, the only offensive flames the Warriors had in the second and third quarters came from Curry and Wiggins: they played tough battles, but the rest of the assembly line points were cut off by the Lakers.
The most immediate influence was Clay Thompson.
Cray shot 11 of 18 from the field last game, including 8 of 11 three-pointers, and today he shot 3 of 5 in the first quarter.
That is, before the thick eyebrow expansion, in the fifth quarter of the game, Clay shot 14 of 23, including 11 of 16 three-pointers.
But in the last three quarters today, Clay shot 2 of 9.
So:
The final direction of this series is the tactical positioning of thick eyebrows.
I listened to Van Gundy and Mark Jackson praise their eyebrows in a different way, while regretting that they could not receive the Lakers' radio commentary: I want to listen to Mikael Thompson, who has been the Lakers' radio commentary for 20 years, say this:
"This Clay Thompson defended the Lakers in the last three quarters, and they all became my son!"
"No, old man, you can't open an ethical terrier?"
"Which ethical terrier? He is my own son! ”
