Chapter 161: What Does He Want To Do?He wants to go to hell!

After the start of the second quarter, both teams sent substitutes.

As Ma Jian said, Phil Jackson allowed Gasol to return to the field and lead the bench with Odom.

He took back all the possessions that he gave up in the first quarter. He was overwhelmed in the paint. The big Z space has a high altitude, but his maneuverability is too poor. Even Bynum is not as good as him. He can't keep up with him and Odom. Was beaten into three.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu immediately called a timeout and replaced him with Roni Turiaf. Although he is also a tank-type center, his legs and feet are still much more flexible than the big Z after the serious injury. He can barely follow Gasol's footsteps. Give him some distraction.

Of course, with the inside configuration of the Warriors, they will definitely be unable to guard against Gasol who is playing at his best. Even if Ronny Turiaf and Anthony Tolliver work hard, they will still be beaten.

But the Warriors have never been a team that relies on defense to win. Although they lost points on the defensive end, looking back, Anthony Toliver's three-pointer also made the Lakers uncomfortable.

If Gasol doesn't follow, Anthony Tolliver has a high degree of confidence in the open three-pointer. After all, he relies on this to make a living. He spends a lot of time every day practicing three-pointers. His shots are very decisive and his shooting percentage is not low. , 39.8%, and the output is very high, he can make 2.2 three-pointers per game, and the outside threat is great.

Gasol followed, and the Lakers' interior space became much wider in an instant, and Zhang Yu put on two powerful guards, Lowry and Watson, and took the opportunity to crazily attack the Lakers' interior. Odom It was difficult for one person to parry, he was scored several times under the basket, and quickly paid 2 fouls, and became timid.

Kevin said:

"The Warriors relied on the impact on the inside to bite the score. Anthony Toliver played a miraculous effect. His containment outside the three-point line created space for Lowry and Watson, otherwise they would face the Lakers. Twin Towers, it's hard to finish at the basket."

Ma Jian seemed very displeased with Anthony Toliver's practice of space-based power forwards, and said with a little disdain:

"He's just making up for the points he lost on the other side of the court. He can't do anything except three-pointers. If it weren't for him, the Warriors' interior defense would not be so bad. He is too soft as a power forward."

Hearing what Ma Jian said, the Warriors fans in the live broadcast room quit:

"Ma Jian, you can do what you want, and you can't stop talking about a basic salary. Why don't you leave this mud-spraying horse?"

"Hehe, he is the number one power forward in China, and he doesn't even bother to play in the NBA. If Mr. Ma Jian played, he would probably have made Gasol cry!"

Those who watched the webcast these days were all old fans, and many people didn't like Ma Jian's way of explaining with a sense of superiority.

In fact, Ma Jian still has some real materials, and his analysis of game skills and tactics is still in place. After all, he is a former professional player. He played the NCAA in the 90s and was selected for the national team. some.

But he may have had a bad time as a player. He came back from the United States in disgrace. Seeing the star on the field with an annual salary of tens of millions, his heart was very unbalanced, and he often said some weird words, which made people very annoying.

And he didn't shy away from being a James fan, defending James in every possible way, and mocking James' opponents in every possible way.

In Zhang Yu's previous life, Ma Jian once blurted out on a debate show - "Duncan? Is that a superstar? How does it compare to James? Can it be ranked in the top ten?"

Then, he uttered the words that made him famous in the commentary world-"Duncan is the number one power forward in history? Who recognizes it?"

Such a commentary whose position is so skewed to Cleveland is naturally not liked by the fans, and is honored as the "chief eunuch".

The current Ma Jian is not as blatant as the bragging about James later, but he has already shown some signs, but because the honor James has won is not hard enough, he can't brag about it. James, but it's also annoying.

It was a coincidence that he, Ke Fan, Jamie, and James Hei got together in this game. Fortunately, this was not a Cavaliers game, otherwise the two would have fought in the studio.

This confrontation between the two teams lasted for 6 minutes. With the opportunity of a dead ball, Zhang Yu replaced Curry.

After Curry came on the field, with the help of Ronnie Turiaf's pick-and-roll, he switched Gasol in front of him, double-backed and followed by a step-back, and hit a difficult three-pointer.

After the shot, the score became 54:57, the Warriors trailed by only three points, and the Staples Center fans were silent.

"Good shot! Curry continued his fiery touch in the first quarter. Before the half-time game was over, he had already scored 9 three-pointers, which is not far from the NBA's current record of 12 three-pointers in a single game. He thinks What are you going to do? He wants to go to heaven?!" Ke Fan shouted in disbelief.

The barrage in the live broadcast room swipes down like a waterfall:

"Fuck, I'll be called Curricul Ritian from now on!"

"This three-pointer is like shooting for fun. I'm stupid, brothers. Is this playing a game?"

"Isn't Ritian a bit unrefined? Let's call him Ku Hao!"

Ke Fan didn't know, he casually said, let Curry's nickname of "Kuritian" spread, and fans felt that it was not enough to describe his incomprehensible three-pointers.

"Di-"

As soon as the basketball passed through the net and fell to the ground, the referee's whistle sounded, and the Lakers called a timeout.

No matter how much Phil Jackson could bear it, facing Curry's 9 three-pointers, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He thought this was an ordinary regular season game. Even if Curry was a little more accurate on three-pointers, he couldn't match the Lakers' strong offensive firepower, so he didn't arrange targeted defense against him.

But looking at it now, Curry is going to make a big news at the Staples Center. He is going to step on the Lakers to become famous all over the world!

It is tolerable, what is unbearable, the Zen master stopped meditating, picked up the tactical board, and said in a deep voice:

"After the timeout, the ball is handed over to Paul to play. I need to score. In addition, I don't want to see that No. 30 shooting a three-pointer anymore! Kobe, wait for you to play and guard against Curry. I would rather give him a certain chance to break through. Don't give him any more space to shoot three-pointers... Remember, when the Warriors hit the pick-and-roll again, they will resolutely double-team Curry. If he retreats to the center line to play the pick-and-roll, then go to the center line to double-team him and let the rest of the Warriors handle it I would rather see the Warriors score than let Curry break the record at the Staples Center!"

The Lakers players looked at Phil Jackson's serious expression and knew that the old coach who always had a gentle smile on weekdays was serious. They all nodded to express their understanding. Tom didn't complain at all.

The timeout ended quickly, and the two teams returned to the field to continue the game.

Kevin said:

"Zen also brought back the starting lineup of the Lakers. Except for the Warriors who replaced Turiaf with Varejao, the other 9 players were all starters at the beginning of the game. Let's see the first attack of the Lakers after the timeout Will it work?"

The Lakers attack, and Fisher lobs the ball to Gasol in the low post as Phil Jackson ordered.

Gasol started post-up singles, but the Warriors changed their previous single defense, but shrunk their forces to the inside, emptied Fisher and Artest, and double-teamed Gasol.

The Spaniard didn't panic at all, raised his eyes to observe the position of his teammates, and distributed the ball to Fisher on the outside.

His coping ability has always been very strong, and he is accurate and timely in the face of double-teaming, and he is like a fish in water under the triangle offense system.

The triangle offense seems to be very high-level, but its tactical purpose is very straightforward, that is, the players are positioned in a triangle to create singles opportunities for the superstars in the team.

So from the time of the Bulls, Phil Jackson has never had a good point guard, because in his team, there is no need for a point guard to organize the offense, and the ball is concentrated in the hands of the stars in the team. From Jordan, From Pippen to O'Neal, Kobe, and then to Kobe and Gasol, it's all in the same line.

After Fisher received the pass, he decisively made an open three-pointer. This is his task on the offensive end. He is not in his turn to do other tasks, and he is not required to do them.

Bang!

Fisher's shot was firm, but he didn't make it. The basketball bounced out of the hoop and he smashed it angrily.

This is his first shot in the game, and it feels cold, and it's normal not to score.

The long rebound bounced into Azubuike's hands. He countered with the ball and made a layup.

56:57, the Warriors chased to only one point!

But looking back, Gasol still played low singles, and after attracting double-teams, he passed inside to Bynum, who easily dunked the ball into the basket.

56: 58.

The Warriors attacked, and Curry still asked Biedrins to play a pick-and-roll against Bynum.

But this time, Bynum stuck up without hesitation, completely covering Curry, without giving him any room to shoot.

After Kobe squeezed through the cover, he immediately chased after him, ignoring Biedrins who was going down, and double-teamed Curry with Bynum!

Curry was caught off guard and took a step back, almost being intercepted by Kobe's long arm. After he barely controlled the ball, he hit the ground to Biedrins.

Biedrins wanted to attack the rim, but Gasol had blocked his down route. He wanted to pass to the open Turiaf, but under Gasol's interference, he threw the ball out. bottom line.

"The Lakers double-teamed Curry. Although Curry's shot was timely, Biedrins' follow-up handling was very poor. The pass was too big. If Biedrins was more patient, Then Turiaf will be able to dunk the basket." Ke Fan said with some regret.

Due to Zhang Yu's existence, the Warriors are the second home team for Huaxia fans, so he naturally has a slight preference for the Warriors.

But Ma Jian said with a little gloating:

"Curry's strength is still a little far behind. Once he is double-teamed, he will die. If it was James, he would have rushed past Bynum just now, but Curry almost made a mistake."

After the Warriors won the Cavaliers, Ma Jian hated the Warriors, and he hated three-pointers, and he didn't like Curry's style of play. Seeing Curry deflated, he felt good.

"James is so good, why did he lose to the Warriors?"

"I found that Ma Jian likes to brag about James. Can't you be neutral as a commentator?"

"Zhan Huang is always strong, No.1 in the league, Director Ma is telling the truth!"

"To be honest, Kobe is No. 1 in the league!"

"Hehe, blacksmith No.1?"

"Then James walks No.1?"

"..."

In the live broadcast room, because of Ma Jian's words, the messages were posted again, and it gradually evolved into a line-up between Komi and Jamie, and Curry, who was double-teamed, was forgotten to one side.

Just as the fans were arguing about who is No. 1 in the league between Kobe and James, the Lakers' defense against Curry also increased.

Kobe led the defense, double-teamed every screen, and the intensity of confrontation was further increased, leaving Curry with no room to shoot.

Curry could only launch pick-and rolls at higher and higher positions, and Biedrins set up screens farther and farther away from the three-point line to get rid of the Lakers' pincers.

At the beginning, Bynum's defense was a little slack, he didn't follow up in time, but stepped on the three-point line to defend. In his opinion, it was enough to be able to defend so far, and he didn't believe that Curry was two points away from the three-point line. Can still shoot three-pointers!

But Curry quickly proved with facts that he can really shoot, and he can still shoot.

After Curry hit a super long three-pointer with the help of Biedrins' screen, Phil Jackson got up rarely and shouted:

"Andrew, get out! No matter how far they pick and roll, you have to get out for me! Got it?"

Bynum quickly raised his hand to signal that it was his fault, and Phil Jackson sat down again.

In the next round, Bynum didn't dare to neglect the slightest. When Biedrins went up to cover Curry, he followed closely and almost reached the range of the middle circle, double-teaming Curry. , so that he could only pass the ball to Butler at the far end, who made a three-pointer against Fisher.

59: 58.

But although Curry scored this goal, Phil Jackson had a smile on his face.

That's the kind of defense he wants!

Sure enough, in the subsequent game of the second quarter, Curry was almost completely restricted by the double-teaming of the Lakers. It was only because of Bynum's mistake that he broke through to the inside and fed Biedrins a pie. Nothing.

Only a small part of the ball he distributed to his teammates under pincer attack was converted into points, and the rest were defended by the Lakers' disciplined defense.

Fortunately, the Warriors' strategy of shrinking the inside line has paid off. In the first quarter, not only did Curry take over the Warriors' possession of the ball, but Kobe also took over the Lakers' possession. Yes, the outside sight was not retrieved.

Gasol was still able to get the ball out in time when he was double-teamed, but Fisher and Artest didn't make three-pointers, and most of the open three-pointers were iron shots.

And Phil Jackson saw that Curry was restricted, and began to meditate again, and did not send the shooter in time, so that the Warriors did not pay enough for the contraction.

With Kobe's emergency stop jump shot at the buzzer, the red light came on, the first half was over, the score was 65:69, the Warriors trailed by 4 points and entered the intermission.
