Chapter 617: [Dangling the Warriors, Still Strong]

In the first quarter, the two sides offensive, no one can prevent anyone, the Lakers lead 34 to 30.
Randolph made 5 of 8 shots, scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, is the Warriors' first hero.
The Lakers played best with Yao Ming, 5 of 8 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 12 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. He attracted a double in the second half and assisted Posey and Iguodala to make a 3-pointer.
Iguodala performed equally well, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter; plus Louis Williams, who scored 8 points, the Lakers were still a trident on offense.
Both parties came off the bench in the second quarter. The Lakers immediately took the initiative. Brooks and Gibson formed a double guard. The frontcourt was Deng Tai Jones, Landry and Odom.
This lineup is good at playing fast breaks. As long as the Warriors miss the shot, at least three people will quickly go down. Odom is responsible for grabbing rebounds and passing in the backcourt.
Deng Tai Jones's shooting has improved this season, but the fast break is his masterpiece, rushing faster than Kobe, receiving Brooks pass, staged a stunning four-seater windmill dunk.
On the defensive end, Deng Tai Jones can also play a role, limiting the body's strong Maggette. He is active in defense and not afraid of confrontation, so Yang Rui chose to reuse him instead of James Jones.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, Deng Tai Jones was not only brave, but also a trick. In the 2009 Western Conference finals, he made a black foot when Bryant broke through; in 13 years, the Lakers challenged the Hawks away. When Kobe performed his final blow, he made a black foot again. ; Later in the Cavaliers, he also hugged Stephen Curry.
The position against the Lakers can also ensure scoring efficiency. Odom leads Turiaf out of the basket. The guard breaks through or Landry cuts, which makes the Warriors headache.
The Warriors' lineup is flawed, and there is no good substitute at the 4th position. They introduced the swingman Maggette to strengthen the offense and let away the insider Al Harrington. Harrington has too many jumpers, and expensive substitutes are a bit wasteful, but without Harrington, the second-round rookie Germario Davidson in 2007 was simply not qualified, and both offense and defense were useless.
Seeing the score difference widen to double digits, Hornacek made adjustments, let Richardson come back in advance, let Maggette came to the No. 4 position, preventing the pick-and-roll and fighting the small ball tactics.
After 6 minutes, Yang Rui adjusted and replaced Luwei to play double guards to speed up the offensive rhythm. The Warriors substitute shooting guard Anthony Morrow became a defensive weakness.
Morrow played 22.6 minutes in the regular season, averaging 10.1 points, 3 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He shot 47.8% from the field and 46.7% from the 3-point range. He made a contribution to the Warriors' playoffs and ranked first in the league.
The reason why he will lose the election is because the defense is too poor, defense Lu Wei and Brooks are struggling to break through, after the end of the game, the Warriors' three points will become worse.
The difference in this section opened, and the two teams continued to attack in the second half. The Lakers firmly controlled the situation.
The experts were shocked. Not only did the Lakers' overall offense not weaken because of Kobe's absence, but they became stronger. They scored 100 points in three quarters and led 100-82.
Yang Rui's tactics are adjusted according to the Warriors lineup.
When Hornasek sent three muscles, Richardson, Azubuk and Maggette, Yang Rui let the three swingmen Iguodala, Posey and Dengtai Jones be responsible for the defense, and they confronted and attacked the center of gravity On the inside, hang Yao list.
Once the Warriors sent double guards Conley, CJ Watson, or Moro, who was in poor physical condition, Yang Rui would send double guards Lu Wei and Xiao Bu to fight back at full speed and fight for a pick-and-roll in position. Even if the counterattack cannot overwhelm the opponent, the combination of position and inside and outside can score goals.
At the end of the quarter, Randolph took a break. Yang Rui arranged Brooks and Yao Ming to play pick-and-roll attacks on Lopez. Xiao Bu passed Lopez over and over again, and the self-confidence of this rookie big man was damaged. Conley went all out to catch up with the small cloth, the ball passed to the middle, Yao Ming could catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer, Lopez missed it, too late to pounce to interfere with the shot.
After 5 minutes, the difference between the two sides was 26 points, and the garbage time was entered.
Yang Rui replaced all the main force, exercise newcomers in garbage time, let DJ White and Landry play, outside James-Jones, Deng Tai Jones, Brooks.
The Warriors also replaced all the substitutes, and did not take any advantage.
In the end, the Lakers won 131 to 101, and the big win made the playoffs.
Brooks had the most points scored by the Lakers. He felt hot and played 34 minutes. He shot 13 of 20 shots, 3 of 6 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 33 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
Iguodala made 10 of 18 shots, 5 of 2 3-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, 28 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
Yao Ming felt down in the second half, making 9 of 17 shots, 1 of 4 3-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 26 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.
In addition, Lu Wei, Odom, Deng Tai Jones also scored in double figures, and the shooting rate is very high.
Millsap's poor performance against Randolph in the first game, most of his energy was defensive, but the team scored a lot of points, and he scored less.
Zhang Heli couldn't believe it: "Kobe didn't play, the Lakers still have an offensive trident, and the role players performed so well."
Yu Jia said: "Kobe Bryant, he and Yao Ming scored more, four regular-season teams scored in double figures, the two guards have nothing to do, and now the Lakers two small guards play like All-Stars."
At the press conference, Hornacek congratulated Yang Rui and calmly faced the defeat. "We have just finished rebuilding this season, and it has been very successful to achieve the seventh in the West. We have many young players and lack of playoff experience. It is not shameful to lose to the Lakers who have entered the Finals for four consecutive years."
The reporter asked: "Which aspect do you think the team needs to strengthen the most?"
"The defense needs to be strengthened the most, but it is not an easy task~EbookFREE.me~ Hornacek smiled bitterly.
The Warriors' defense is terrible. This season, they averaged 108.6 points per game, ranking third in the league, averaging 107.5 points per game, before scoring 1.1 points. The only team that is good at defending is Turiaf. Unless there is a summer signing, there is really no way to solve it.
The reporter interviewed Yang Rui and asked: "The Lakers won the first game, but without the star, will you have a lot of pressure?"
Yang Rui confidently said: "The pressure is definitely the opponent. My team never considers whether it can be promoted in the first round. The first round is usually swept. Jeff and I are very good friends, not that I don’t Give him a face, the reality is so cruel. I have never missed the Western Conference finals. When the Western Conference finals, you ask me if I am under pressure."
Another reporter asked: "So what do you think Kobe's absence will affect the Lakers?"
"The impact is definitely there, what is the specific, leave it to the fans and basketball experts to say it, all I have to do now is to lead the team to win the championship." Yang Rui smiled.
Yang Rui will give Kobe some due punishment, but will not fall into the hole. Since Kobe is all gone, he doesn't need to speak bad things to the media, it is harming others.
As for someone who lists Kobe's data in the future, or if there is no data of Kobe's post-Lake Lakers players, which will cause scolding on the Internet, it will not matter to Yang Rui. He can't hack Kobe, but he can't stop Kobe from getting hacked, because it's too easy.
Who can't list the data? There is no difficulty at all, or why some people always use "low-level" to describe Kehei?
After looking at the data, I came up with various tricks to wash the idols. One thing is rotten, and it can be interpreted as the "advanced" kind of talent who is "out of nothing". ...
In any case, the Lakers are still powerful.
