NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Xu Feng, the Warriors ushered in a new coaching staff, the team has also changed, and the Lakers have also changed a lot this season. Do you think the Warriors will be the Lakers' strongest opponent?" ?”

Xu Feng nodded and said: "Every team is worthy of respect. We will not be afraid of any team, but we will take every team seriously. There are no ifs in the game. Even if you rank first in the league, you will be ranked last. Beat the best team, that's the NBA, that's basketball!"

Xu Feng's answer aroused warm applause from the reporters, what he said was very good.

Kobe also applauded approvingly, and looked sideways at Xu Feng, his eyes full of admiration.

"Curry of the Warriors made 9 of 6 three-pointers in the last game. Such a three-pointer is simply terrible. Does the Lakers have such a killer star?"

This reporter obviously wanted Xu Feng or Kobe to attack the Warriors players.

But neither of them had the habit of attacking their opponents, so they looked at each other and smiled.

Xu Feng replied slowly: "The Lakers have their own characteristics. Although three-pointers are the trend of the league, they are not all. Not everyone can be a player like Curry. This is talent!"

Kobe nodded in agreement: "Yes, I predict that Curry will become the next superstar, maybe in the next few years, Xu Feng and Curry will become old rivals, haha, that's very interesting!"

Xu Feng also smiled: "Yes, players like Curry are unique, but I am also very confident in the Lakers. We also have three-pointers, breakthrough players, and defensive experts. I believe that the Warriors will not easily beat us."

……

On November 11, the Lakers ushered in their second regular season game, challenging the Golden State Warriors away.

Eight p.m., Oracle Arena.

The starting lineup of the Lakers: Xu Feng, McGee, Tucker, Kobe, Lin Shuhao.

Warriors starting: Curry, Thompson, Green, Bogut, Barnes.

At the start of the game, McGee grabbed the first wave of possession.

Lin Shuhao dribbled the ball for half court and handed the ball to Kobe first.

The Warriors defended Kobe with Thompson.

Thompson's defense is very tough. If Kobe was at his peak, he would have no problem singles against Thompson, but now, it's a bit strenuous.

The Lakers are going to compete for the championship this season, so Kobe was not willful. He tried twice before passing the ball back to Lin Shuhao.

Shu Hao broke through to the penalty area, and seeing Xu Feng blocking Bogut, he threw the ball high, intending to give McGee an alley-oop.

Unfortunately, Green suddenly burst out and slapped the ball out.

Green moved from the bench to the starting lineup this season and put David Lee on the bench. This is a major change after Coach Cole took office.

Although many people don't understand, David Lee is a player who averages 20+ per game, how can he be put on the bench?
But Green's role was slowly manifested, and he played a major role on the defensive end.

The Lakers sent a sideline kick with 6 seconds left on the offensive clock.

Tucker sent the ball to Xu Feng, Barnes defended Xu Feng alone, and Green waited for an opportunity to help defend.

Seeing that time was running out, Xu Feng had to make one himself.

So he pretended to shove hard at the basket, but suddenly dribbled the ball backwards, and came a golden rooster independence!

He has perfected Nowitzki's move.

brush!
Although Green has already assisted in the defense, Xu Feng's Golden Rooster is really unable to defend. It depends on Xu Feng's touch whether he can enter or not.

It seems that Xu Feng's hand feels good, hollow into the net!

The Lakers scored the first point.

2: 0!

Kobe came over and gave Xu Feng a high five to celebrate.

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball for halftime, Lin Shuhao stepped forward to defend, Bogut stepped forward to pick and roll, Curry followed a small gap, and made a three-pointer!
This is Curry's favorite. He is not afraid of the distance, but he is afraid that there is no space.

brush!
Curry's touch was hot and he responded with a three-pointer!
Oracle Stadium cheered and the fans were excited. The Warriors this season are so exciting!
The Lakers players looked at each other in blank dismay. Curry's style of play has subverted the traditional concept of basketball. How could he shoot as soon as he said he was one meter away from the three-point line?

Xu Feng looked solemn, and said to Lin Shuhao: "I can't give you a little time, I will come to help defend."

Lin Shuhao once stayed in the Warriors for a period of time, and he is very familiar with Curry's ability and knows how powerful Curry is.

Lakers offense.

After halftime, Lin Shuhao called a pick-and-roll, McGee came out to block Curry, and Lin Shuhao broke through to the penalty area.

Green came out to help defend, Lin Shuhao hit the ground and passed the ball to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng passed the ball hand to hand and passed it to McGee.

McGee's athletic ability is really strong, flying up, ready to dunk.

Bogut had no choice but to pull McGee down.

The referee whistled and called Bogut for a foul.

McKee was at the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

3: 3 flat!
From the beginning of the game, it was so fierce, each team played their own characteristics.

The Warriors attacked, and this time the Lakers did not give Curry a space, and there were always two people defending Curry.

This is a situation that the Warriors can think of. Curry calmly faced it and stuffed the ball to Green from the gap.

It became much easier for the others to fight four against three.

Seeing that Barnes was unguarded and cut to the basket, Green immediately passed the ball.

Barnes scored a layup!
This is a new style of play for the Warriors, and the Lakers are not used to it, allowing Barnes to score easily.

5:3, the Warriors lead.

For this style of play, D'Antoni frowned and admired Cole very much. He was able to use Curry's containment power to connect other players in series.

This is a smarter play than any point guard.

As a head coach, you have to respond to this situation.

But D'Antoni has never seen this kind of play, and in a short time, he really can't figure out how to deal with it.

He could only call a timeout first, and then ask Xu Feng for his opinion.

After the timeout, he stood beside Xu Feng. Although he didn't speak, Xu Feng understood what he meant.

Xu Feng couldn't help it either, he had traveled here and knew how good the Warriors were, even the peak James couldn't stand up to them, let alone the Lakers.

"Coach, we can only change defenses infinitely, try to let players stick to the defense, but we can only do our best, Curry can't defend alone. If we want to defend Curry, we can only use six people, but that is impossible of."

D'Antoni sighed, nodded and said: "Indeed, then let's switch defenses infinitely, try our best to make the Warriors play egalitarianism, and let's use offense to fight the Warriors once!"

The timeout ended and the game continued. The Lakers replaced Kobe to defend Curry, just to limit Curry's shots. After all, Kobe's height is there.

Then Lin Shuhao went to defend Klay Thompson.

As a result, Curry temporarily misfired, but Klay Thompson broke out again.

It's not that Lin Shuhao's defense is bad, because he is not as tall as Thompson, and Thompson is the kind of person who is crazy, and no one can stop him when he feels the touch.
