Vol 2 Chapter 828: Despair is coming! The last hope of the Lakers!

Obviously!
You ah, what is it to punch you Feng Ge!
You are obviously using a sledgehammer to hammer your Feng brother's chest without a big stone, do you know?
Staples Center.
Watching 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 balance of victory has gradually begun to lean towards the Warriors.
The reason for happiness is that, as a Yao Mi who had witnessed Yao Ming's injury in his previous life, at this moment, watching the 33-year-old Xiao Yao who can still gallop in the NBA, Su Feng is acting for him from the heart. feel happy.
Of course, since the stadium is the battlefield...
It doesn't matter how good Su Feng's personal relationship with Yao Ming is.
now.....
Killing each other is their only thought.
In the third quarter, the Warriors who attacked Yao Ming gave the Lakers a sense of oppression, 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.
However, 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...
A team that can score 100 points in all four quarters.
Exaggeration?
It's quite exaggerated.
But at this moment, as the physical fitness of the Lakers players on the court began to decline, after Yao Ming used his inside attack to drive the Warriors' outside attack one step closer...
Staples Center...
In this Western Conference G2 game, it's the Lakers' fans' turn to turn on the autistic mode.
With 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 scored 28 points in the third quarter, they couldn't stop it. The Lakers and Warriors' points gap was further widened.
On the court, after three quarters, 98 to 88.
NBA convention.
The visiting Warriors are ahead.
The home team Lakers are behind.
In the final game, the Warriors side, Yao Ming keeps going.
Although, due to 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...
At this moment...
Just like then and then!
Beep!
On the court, until the timer went to zero in the final 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 to 118.
The Warriors, while defeating 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 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.
In the first half of the game, Stephen Curry, who hit the three-pointer at the backcourt buzzer for the Warriors, continued his "excellent" performance at Staples. He made 2 of 9 shots in the game and counted free throws. He scored a total of 9 points. 3 rebounds, 4 assists.
However......
When after the game, the Currys were crazy about Curry's "soft-footed shrimp", they didn't know that for the Lakers, Curry, who played poorly in the first two games, was the real "ghost". story".
Because from the team level, after the first two games, the Lakers have already reached their limits.
And what about the Warriors?
Excuse me.
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 will be able to turn on his'God of God' switch in all the next games."
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 round of the 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 be constrained by game time and physical fitness.
So even if Su Feng can turn on the switch of "World Under Heaven"...
As long as the Warriors can continue to play efficient teamwork...
The Lakers also have a great probability of losing the scoring battle with the Warriors.
basketball.
After all, it is a movement of five people.
Before moving to Oakland, the Lakers will have a whole day to think about their countermeasures. Then, they will fly to Oakland. After a day off on the 24th, they will have a third place in the Western Conference finals with the Warriors on the 25th. war.
After the G2 game, experts who are good at repeated horizontal jumps have been transferred to the "fifty years of bravery 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 is the end of the Lakers!"
"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 had never seen Su Feng so quiet, couldn't help it, "You are our leader!
Didn’t it just lose a game? As for the autism until now? "
Hearing that, 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 in an idol drama to cry for a while.
Unfortunately......
Not only did Su Feng fail to thank Kobe for his kindness, but instead gave Kobe a ferocious look.
And then, after a long sigh, Su Feng said in a melancholy voice: "Is it the only one who thinks now...
Do we still hold the initiative in this round of the series? "
Kobe: "..."
Ok!
It seemed that Su Feng did 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 "Oh" for a moment, and said: "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 pondered for two seconds, and said: "Soldiers are here to stop them, and water is coming to cover them."
Kobe: "..."
no!
What kind of countermeasures are you Yajie?
Looking at Su Feng, Kobe, who was out of anger, always felt that Su Feng had already begun to "destroy himself."
However, as Su Feng unveiled to Kobe bit by bit the veil of why this warrior is so powerful...
Kobe started to seriously think about every word Su Feng said.
In the G2 battle, after the Warriors split and reorganized their lineups, the family is so strong that even Durant can’t wait to vote for the Warriors for free. Not only in every quarter, they can line up a luxurious lineup. Play.
And, taking advantage of Xiaojia's importance to the 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 a small plus to play in the second half.
But Director Lu rejected this proposal without even thinking about it.
why?
Is it because Jordan and Whiteside are embarrassed by the task?
No.
It's just because, in essence, this series of Lakers vs. Warriors is a more efficient offensive game than anyone else.
Admittedly.
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 Xiaojia is lost...
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 contribution of Jordan and Whiteside at this moment can be 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 bluntly...
It's because the Lakers' family is not as thick as the Warriors.
Unlike Van Gundy, who can use Curry, Yao Ming, James...and even Clay to take turns as the Warriors' offensive core.
Because currently in the Lakers, the role of Su Feng and Kobe is irreplaceable.
Therefore, Director Lu has always been very clear, only to make the Raul Meilien twins happy, the Lakers have the possibility of the last laugh in this round of the series.
So......
What if Jordan and Whiteside are used to top Yao Yao in the second half of the game?
Regrettably, in the G2 battle, Director Lu did not make such an attempt.
Only after O'Neal retired.
No matter what "Warcraft", "Happy Beast", Howard are you...
In today's league, some and only Xiaojia has the tonnage and strength that can compete with Xiao Yao.
Therefore, the transformation that Van Gundy learned secretly from Lu's guidance is still a trick in a sense.
Come on Yao Ming, Xiaojia must get it.
Otherwise, the Lakers' inside line is 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, this group of outside players would be tougher than one...
That's what the Lakers have to do with Yao Ming.
But just the right head of this warrior...
Who dares to empty Curry, Clay, Terry, Ray Allen, four famous top pitchers in the three-point range?
"We have to give Mark enough physical energy to fight Yao.
In G1, with the same playing time, although Yao was still very efficient at scoring...
But compared to 11 of 14 shots in G2, when Mark is physically fit, he can still charge a certain cost for 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 seemed 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, watching 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 had begun to rise and fall.
"Not crazy, not live.
Only if we are crazy can we defeat this crazy warrior. "Su Feng replied to Kobe with solemn expression.
But originally, Kobe, who wanted 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?" Kobe 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 vomited.
"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 methods for the Lakers, those loyalists who still firmly support the Lakers turned on the autistic mode almost in an instant.
On TNT TV, 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 have long been revealed.
And as Barkley said...
In just 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, accompanied by the live broadcast on the TV, he cut into the Oracle Arena, watching Stephen Curry hit three-pointers in succession during the warm-up in the golden wave...
Suddenly, the Lakers supporters even noticed a little bit of trouble.
"I'm not worried about Stephen's touch.
Basketball is like this, Stephen may miss some shots in some games.
But I believe he will definitely find his shooting feeling.
Because he is such an outstanding 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, 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 moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco and then from San Francisco to Oakland and 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 was...
In the following quite a long period of time, the Warriors will gradually become a deceptive team.
In 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 Auckland a few years ago...
But in the arena of winners and losers in 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.
Therefore, 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 too ridiculous, except for the warm home atmosphere I felt when I was explaining the dark battle...
This is definitely the most devil's home I have ever stayed in my whole life! "On the CCTV's live commentary booth, before cutting into the live broadcast, feeling the noise that had already exceeded 140 decibels at the scene, Su Junyang couldn't help but said to Yu Jia next to him.
no doubt.
For any visiting team.
The Warriors' home court tonight is a on earth.
However, such a lively stadium...
But before the start of the game tonight, it suddenly fell silent.
And the always astute live broadcast shot 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 was looking up at the big screen at the scene, with doubts and puzzles in his eyes.
The latter silently unscrewed the bottle cap of the thermos, and pretended to take a small sip.
What is it that made the Oakland Oracle Arena a library before it even opened?
What is it that made the on-site commentators from China and the United States shout crazy before the start of 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 just the Lakers' change?
"Oh-! The Lakers's explanation today is that as long as Yao Ming doesn't join, then I won't join Xiaojia?" CCTV, Su Junyangjie, who learned Zhang's tone of guidance, said.
"But without Xiaojia, Guidance Lu still surprised us tonight.
Because he actually pushed Su Feng directly to the fifth position! "Aside, Yu Jia exclaimed.
"Do they arrange this so that Su Neng will 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.
Upon 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 just because the triangle offense is more suitable for them.
In the past games, opened singles, Princeton...Basically you have a famous tactic in the NBA, this Lakers have used it in the game.
Therefore, if it is just to play a triangle offense, then Xiaojia is far from the point where the Lakers can't do without him.
"As the level of the game increases, Mark's role on the court will often 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 that symbolized Xiao Jia and said: "As a player who plays with his brain, on the defensive end, Mark can not only defend against this league. Most of the centers.
Moreover, when the Lakers take high-pressure defense 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 in the face of some more athletic opponents, DeAndre may sometimes do better than him. "
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 modern basketball games, according to the offensive space theory proposed by John Davis, the key to whether your outside scorer can efficiently score points on the court is whether you can provide a broad offensive space for the offensive player.
But for NBA players, because the court is too small, the theory of inside emptying also 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."
"That's it.
So currently on the market, big players with shooting ability are so expensive.
But unlike other big men with shooting ability...
Because Mark is still an insider with high-level coping skills...
Therefore, for the Lakers, the more they play a strong team, the closer Mark's actual role on the court will be to Sue and Kobe.
Offensively, he is a key player in maintaining the balance between Suko.
On the court, 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 the G2 game, we were able to suppress the Lakers in the second half.
It was precisely 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 changed..." After a daze, the Warriors assistant coach has gradually realized why Van Gundy has just been picking his head.
Although in normal times when everyone is chattering, Van Gundy often uses Lu's guidance to start...
But the Warriors' teaching assistants are very clear in their hearts...
Tyronn Lu is by no means as useless as some coaches and experts say.
Quite the opposite is...
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.
therefore......
Since Coach Lu dared to adjust the starting lineup of the Lakers tonight, it also means that, in his view, he believes that the starting lineup of the Lakers can compete with the Warriors.
"This is not the first time the Lakers have used a five-small lineup in a game.
But I always feel that tonight the Lakers' five small team will be completely different from before.
Interesting, Tyron.
If Yao doesn't go, Mark won't go...
Is this your response to us in this game? "On the sidelines, after taking a look at the Lakers bench, Van Gundy muttered to himself.
And in the center of the field, at the moment when the five starting five tigers of the two teams stepped onto the field 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 today Kobe is still reluctant to admit it, 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 himself, Curry dribbled directly into the right side of Kobe's deliberately emptying, and in a blink of an eye he broke into the Lakers restricted area.
Although I don't know why the Lakers will send such a set of five small starters tonight.
But it is 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 this defensive approach in the game.
However, after the Lakers' inside height dropped, Tyron...
Where do 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!
Snapped--!
Under the Lakers basket, in the gaze 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 to push for a 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, Guidance Lu immediately thought about the feasibility of this plan.
And 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."
Aside, Wharton reminded: "But Tyronn, in a basketball game, there is no rule that the opponent must use a center to match up with our Sue."
Director 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 cannot change the fact that he is only 201 cm long after wearing shoes.
However, after shook his head, Director Lu said firmly, "I believe in Su."
The camera returned to Oracle Arena, and after Green took the lead 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, that 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 play center, so 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 explosives bag thrown by James deviated from the course.
And then, Livingston, who was my Lake power forward tonight, also grabbed the 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.
But after falling into position, the Warriors' defense still showed weaknesses.
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...
At that time, who else can the Warriors 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.
However, just as the director Lu said.
Regardless of 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 misalignment with the opponent's inside line!
On the left wing, 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 back to the era of "the chasing boy", had a long time to pass a breakthrough addiction.
Bang, huh!
After breaking into the basket, Livingston single-handed the basketball into the Warriors hoop!
4 to 0.
At this time, on the sidelines of the Lakers, Wharton couldn't help but think of Lu's prediction on the situation of the game on the morning of the 23rd.
"Luke, do you remember what I said to you in G2?"
In the Lakers training hall, looking at the 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."
Hearing that, after patted Wharton's shoulder with a smile, Director Lu smiled and said, "That's right.
Therefore, we must make a choice in the game. "
"It is true that no matter how much I trust Su, as the height of the lineup 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 play our mobile advantage on the offensive end..."
Wharton, who suddenly shined in front of him, added for Lu's guidance: "Then we can use scoring to make up for our lack of defensive end!"
Director Lu nodded and said: "This is a trade-off we have to make.
Su is right, we must have someone to deal with Yao.
And this person can only be Mark. "
"But anyway, because Su, as the center, will inevitably encounter more physical confrontations...
So Tyronn, have you ever wondered, if the Warriors use ‘air-conditioning tactics’ in the second half of the game, how should we respond by then? "Looking at Director Lu, Wharton raised the last doubt in his heart.
As we all know, since inside players cannot 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.
In addition, 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 game 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 guided Lu to answer his doubts.
"But in that case, what should we do with our offense?" Wharton asked new questions.
Hearing this, Su Feng pointed to Livingston, who was doing one-on-one training with Kobe on the training ground.
"Don't we still have Sean'Sail Jordan'?" Su Feng smiled.
Wharton: "..."
Good guys!
Is this the so-called "soldiers come to block, waters come to cover the earth"?
"How do I feel, compared with the Warriors... We seem to be poor people who even buy a pair of leather shoes have to 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'm 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 to his assistant coach to be safe and impatient, "Now, the Lakers are trying to crack our lineup.
Although, they can indeed use Su's dislocation advantage on the offensive end to make others form a dislocation advantage.
but......
If we focus our attention on their role players, wouldn't it be the cart before the horse?
Moreover, as long as the Lakers can't continue their offensive firepower on the court, at that time, I really can't think of what Tyronn can do besides holding Sue and Kobe's thighs tightly. "
In the first two battles, Su Feng and Kobe's alternate singles can be described as 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 that the Warriors rely on the hard power of the overall lineup, the Lakers will not be able to accept the move.
But in simple terms...
If we say that the dark battle of the year, it was the Celtics and the Lakers who could do nothing.
In this new round of dark battles, no one can guard 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.
On the flanks, Kobe will open up the space.
no doubt.
Even Michael Jordan 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, Lu turned his head and looked at Bogdanovic and said: "I will replace you in 6 minutes.
At that time, just like the design before the game, fire as much as you want, Bo Yang! "
At this moment, Van Gundy is absolutely impossible to think of...
Tonight, the Lakers' opening main points will be played by'Sai Jordan' Livingston and'Sepipon' Bogdanovic.
On the Internet, whether it is Fenghei or Kehei, they like black. These two people do not trust their teammates and prefer to come by themselves.
But, how 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 to 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 when he noticed that Livingston was about to make a sudden stop.
However......
At the moment Chandler stuck it, 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, it has long lost the best physical fitness of the year.
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, drive away from Chandler, and Livingston makes another win 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, Smith who saw this scene also said with emotion: "Perhaps, a role player is destined to never reach the height of a super star!
But this does not mean that they cannot affect the progress of a game! "
There is no doubt.
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, be prepared, I will replace Kobe with you when there are 4 minutes left in this quarter."
"Chauncey, once Rajon has committed twice, you have to 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 is far superior to the extraordinary talents of other NBA coaches of his time in the use of role players.
there is always a solution to a problem!
Before the final battle arrives.
Set up the stage for the super star.
Who said that little 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.
Knowing that James, like his idol Su Feng, has a Hall of Fame badge, Livingston jumped up and leaped with all his strength. At the moment he jumped, he played a song "Miracle Reproduction" for himself!
It's like sunlight passing through the night!
Dawn quietly crossed the horizon!
Kang Dang!
In Oakland, Livingston stopped the Golden State Warriors!
On the Lakers bench, Thackeray, who missed my Lakers 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 the old Hornacek's heart attack also appeared.
Because in the TV screen, the golden girl wearing the Lakers No. 23 jersey is the same Abby Hornacek who relied on Su Feng to get the VIP sideline ticket?
"How about it, is it better than Shak's deterrence that the center of brother played?" On the court, Su Feng smiled as he walked back to the bench with Kobe.
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, O'Neal suddenly sneezed.
"MD, it must be Charles who is secretly speaking ill of me again." After wiping his nose, O'Neal thought silently.
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 substitute for Kobe, hit two difficult three-pointers in succession under his brother's defense that caused Old 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's the Warriors or the Lakers winning...
One of his two good sons will reach the finals.
Moreover, the brave mistress at the scene did not dare to accuse him of such an upright "defection" behavior of Old Dell.
Because as a father, what happened to cheering for his son?
If you have the ability, you also have two sons who can meet in the NBA conference finals!
After the first quarter, Oracle Arena, the two teams scored 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, the internal consumption has been very serious. According to Su Feng, unless the Warriors have been pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Lakers, they would not choose this kind of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating one thousand. Tactical.
Moreover, even if the Warriors adopted air-conditioning tactics, Su Feng was not in the slightest.
because......
With one teammate after another who can share the pressure of scoring for yourself, at this moment, you may not believe it...
Su Feng is the one who can't wait for the Warriors to quickly turn off the air conditioner to play.
In the second quarter of the game, with 10 minutes left, Lu director replaced Kobe, who was replaced in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter.
And just when Curry, who was in line with Kobe's rotation time, was still silently swearing 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 under the premise of Su Feng as the center, the Warriors on the field will inevitably be misaligned...
Therefore, even if Van Gundy hides Curry no matter how good...
It's impossible for elementary school students to always get help from their side teammates as they did in the previous two battles.
In the first quarter of the game, in the case of Livingston and Bogdanovic, the Lakers did not rush to beat Curry.
But at this moment, as "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, used 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 it withstand Kobe's chisel?
Huh!
Huh!
Huh!
On the field, watching Curry, who was beaten by Kobe in the corner, James was desperately anxious.
But Su Feng, who was always in a 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 can Kobe, who plays with the upload button, have not made plans in advance?
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 relied on patchwork, Van Gundy, who was so angry, even thought about replacing Yao Ming in advance.
But after the frustration, Van Gundy held back.
As the saying goes, small intolerance leads to chaos.
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, Tyron...
Let you be proud of it for a while!
"We've all played so well, but the opponent still bit the score."
On the Lakers bench, looking at the alternate score card, Van Gundy said that 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 will have sufficient physical protection in the upcoming second half of the game.
But compared with the Warriors who can dispatch a luxurious lineup every quarter...
The Lakers are still the team at the disadvantage.
Moreover, this game so far, the reason why the Lakers have been able to bite back and forth with the Warriors in the score, also benefited from Su Feng's outstanding performance in the paint tonight.
Why didn't Van Gundy follow the Lakers in the first half?
Because as long as Chandler is on the court, Su Feng must use all his strength to compete with him for position and position.
So, even if Su Feng didn't fire much in the first half of the game tonight...
His physical energy consumption is also not small.
It is true that, as Su Feng expected, the Warriors had no plans to offer air-conditioning tactics tonight.
But in such a round, every detail may determine the final direction of the series...
Director Lu knew that at this moment, all he could do was pray.
On the side, Wharton, who had advised Su Feng to take a break during the first break, gradually understood why Su Feng did not accept his suggestion at the time.
Because if it weren't for fear of Su Feng...
In that season, 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 next quarter with 3 minutes and 45 seconds left, Curry, who had been beating, finally retaliated with 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 from 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.
Hearing that, after smiling, Curry said: "Of course, LeBron!"
In New York, watching this round of Western Conference Finals, where the ratings continue to break NBA records, David Stern, who is about to retire, couldn't help but said with emotion: "Basketball is a sport.
Because it can make people want to stop! "
Oracle Arena, after halftime, 67 to 67.
This night.
During the intermission.
In the small visiting team locker room ~EbookFREE.me~ Seeing Su Feng, who was already in a meditative state, even Green and Finsen, who wanted to relax by listening to music, hurriedly turned off their music players.
Quiet.
Quiet far beyond imagination.
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 was over...
Kobe just stepped forward and patted Su Feng on the shoulder.
But 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?
A leader is a player 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 Su. "
Director 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! "
