Chapter 1164: [7 battles to fight in 3 quarters]

Guo Xu led the ball through the half, this time Iguodala dared not run over from a distance to make up for defense.
Robertson and Tucker stand to attract defense in the left and right corners respectively. Horford goes beyond the 70-degree three-point line on the right. He can catch the ball and can cut into the inside at any time. Nurkic formed a triangle on the right.
This is a star tactic with the formation fully pulled away, turning the left side into a weak side. The Warriors want to contain Guo Xu and must appear empty, especially on the left side, to completely empty Robertson.
In the last attack of each quarter, many teams will control the rhythm to play like this, which is a good tactic.
Guo Xu dribble the crotch outside the three-point line to the left hand, quickly dribble behind the right hand to the right side to move a big step, Curry hurried to catch up, Guo Xu took the ball in his right hand and took a long step. , Shot before the three-point line.
His movement is much faster than Curry, plus Curry can't even close his eyes when he leans back, the ball is hollow into the net.
22 to 8, Guo Xu personally scored 9 points.
Jackson wanted to call a timeout for this shot. Guo Xu's back jumper outside the three-point line can enter. How can this person prevent it?
He can see that Guo Xu is not a bad shooting choice underestimating the enemy, but an outside jumper with a perfect rhythm. It is impossible to practice such a skill without frequent practice.
According to NBA rules, a player takes 2 points on the three-point line before taking off, and 3 points on the outside! Players will step on the line if they accidentally turn their feet. This kind of ball must be difficult to grasp the distance and the hit rate.
In NBA history, no one has ever practiced a back jumper outside the three-point line. In the time loop, Guo Xu and Wang Jun have both practiced. Anyway, they have plenty of time and do not crush their skills.
Curry moved quickly to catch the ball, evaded Guo Xu and returned a three-pointer, 22 to 11.
The Warriors fans at home applauded enthusiastically and then shouted "defense" together! At this time, no one applauded Guo Xu's goal. This is a life-and-death battle. The Warriors fans hope to see the home team complete three consecutive championships.
Guo Xu and other teammates pulled away, midfielder and Horford played a pick-and-roll, Middleton changed defense. The Warriors changed into a joint defense position on the court, and they dared not let Guo Xu keep singles.
Both Robertson and Tucker are not good at holding the ball. As long as the big man rushes out, he can defend against the bottom line. The Lakers' lineup has obvious flaws. Apart from Guo Xu, the only troublesome thing is Horford.
As soon as Guo Xu passed the ball, Horford was out in the periphery. He made a 3-point jumper on the right, but the ball missed.
The Warriors wanted to launch a counterattack. Both Curry and Iguodala came down. Middleton failed to advance the ball in the backcourt, and Robertson stepped forward into the midfield. After he slowed down and traversed, and dribbling through the half with interference, the chance of a fast break was gone.
In the first quarter, both sides attached great importance to defense. The Lakers were mainly anti-guests and had been suppressing the Warriors, leading 36 to 21.
Guo Xu attracted mainly double-pointers and scored 13 points and 8 assists throughout the whole period. Second-handed Horford was empty several times and scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He scored a 3-pointer in the second half.
The Warriors played best when Curry scored 8 points. Veteran Nowitzki scored 6 points. Middleton, who was the second player, was completely protected from death. He scored 0 points on 3 shots.
Robertson didn't score, but his performance was extremely eye-catching. He perfectly completed the task arranged by the coach. The team needed him and Middleton.
The quality of a player's defense can be reflected in some details. Robertson not only has physical conditions suitable for defense, but also has a good sense of consciousness. Many live game hosts have mentioned Robertson as an important contributor to the Lakers' lead.
How strong is Robertson's defense? He is not only able to prevent the face frame from breaking through, but also against the back.
In the second half of the first quarter, Green played a round against Robertson in the low post. He thought it was a misalignment. As a result, Robertson was not promoted by the ball. Finally, there was no way to pass the ball to his teammates. It can be seen from that defense that although Robertson is not very heavy, he is good at using skills to make opponents difficult to exert force.
And Middleton couldn't get rid of it when he faced Robertson's defense. He only got the chance by playing without the ball. It can be said that Robertson is the backbone of the Lakers' outside defense. Without his starting defense ability, it will be reduced sharply.
As long as he wins today, Tyrone Lu is also ready to reuse Robertson after entering the finals, allowing him to defend James. Devin Booker and Josh Richardson's playing time will be reduced again. They are now weak and their offense is not strong.
The two teenagers lacked experience in competitions, and their mentality always went wrong after playing. They could only play the 70% level of training. Both breakthroughs and shots would hesitate. If the Lakers can play as well as the regular season, throw the ball into the space, and play boldly in the second quarter, the Lakers may not need to play the tiebreaker to eliminate the Warriors.
This is the way most young people must go and the tuition they must pay. Only a very small number of newcomers can skip this link and directly become the core of a team and become a winner in the playoffs.
Guo Xu knew that the Lakers' strength in position 1 would be greatly reduced after his end, so he didn't rest in the second quarter. Booker is guilty again, and he can't score in the open space. Fortunately, there are people who can play with Guo Xu.
Carter played a short time in the first quarter and came back with a substitute in the second quarter. He took Guo Xu's pass and scored two three-pointers. As soon as the role player shoots, the Warriors are less determined when they hit.
Horford took a break. Nurkic played a four-pointer with a four-pointer in the interior. The Lakers can also guarantee an insider attack. In order to prevent Nurkic's strong backs, the Warriors had to send Lopez or Gobert. Green and Nowitzki could not defend well.
Nurkic's 213cm tall and 127kg high center entered the penalty area and couldn't resist without a meat shield. His shooting feel was very soft.
The Warriors big guys haven't been able to stay inside because Guo Xu catches the ball after slipping the bottom line and the inside and the flanks don't help defense. Guo Xu will get the chance to pick Curry. As a defense, he attracted a double-ball and allowed his teammates to shoot.
Robertson didn't play in this quarter, the two teams made an offensive tie, the Warriors fell 15 points into the second half.
Guo Xu scored a double-double of 25 points and 14 assists in the half. The distribution of the ball has always been very reasonable. When no one is involved, he has a high percentage of hits.
In the third quarter, the Lakers sent a five-team lineup of deaths. A wave of 14-3 defeated the Warriors, and the points widened to 26 points. The Warriors only made a three-point shot by Redick ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Everyone else became a blacksmith, and Green couldn't make a shot.
Curry, as the team leader, failed to stand up and lead the offense, his mentality collapsed. Every time he was beaten by Guo Xu, the team's backup point guard strength and his gap is very small and rarely played, he can not hide, he can only face.
After being brutally abused for seven games, online fans have said that Curry is not qualified to compare with Guo Xu. His mood is very depressed, and his mentality is inevitably affected. When inspiring the morale, the coach said that the key to winning is to defend Guo Xu. Curry's mind is all about how to defend. Fear of being counterattacked by Guo Xu, he dare not break the ball.
The pick-and-roll offense could not be played. At this time, Robertson restricted Middleton's breakthrough, and the Warriors' offense suddenly fell into trouble. Green was short shot and could not score on the perimeter, and his shot was stiff and had a low hit rate.
Jackson also made mistakes in employing. When he let Iguodala and Green play together, the Warriors' three-point change was very poor. The two men's defense is really good, but it can't prevent Guo Xu.
The thing that caused the Warriors fans to collapse was Iguodala's free throw, which made 1 of 4 free throws.
After the third quarter, the Lakers led 31 points with a score of 103 to 72. The tiebreaker unexpectedly entered garbage time ...
