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

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers sent Lin Shuhao, Chandler, Bo Yang, Ellington, Nick Young.

The Warriors sent Speights, David Lee, Barbosa, Iguodala, McAdoo.

The strength of the two sides is equal, it depends on which side is stronger.

As soon as the Warriors came up, they used Barbosa's speed to grab 2 points.

Suddenly Lin Shuhao and Chandler's pick-and-roll also responded with 2 points.

The two sides came and went, and it was a tie. The Warriors' speed increase was not very useful. The Lakers Lin Shuhao, Bo Yang, and Ellington were not too slow.

The point difference has been hovering between four and five points, which is inextricably linked.

This game is destined to be decided at the last moment.

第二节战至5分31秒，比分来到45：41，湖人领先4分。

The two sides replaced the main players again, Xu Feng and Kobe appeared on the stage.

Before going on the court, Kobe said in Xu Feng's ear: "Xu, you continue to help defend on the inside, and I will help defend on the outside. You must lock the Splash Brothers."

Xu Feng nodded. Although Kobe is a few years older, his competitive spirit has not changed at all. Facing the mighty Warriors, Kobe became even more excited.

As soon as the Warriors came up and made a change, Curry suddenly gave up holding the ball and started running wildly.

Although Livingston has an advantage in height, his speed and endurance are a bit weaker. After all, he has suffered serious injuries.

He couldn't keep up with Curry, so he gave Curry an open shot.

Swipe!

Curry made two consecutive three-pointers, easily caught up with the score, and even overtook it.

Xu Feng frowned, screaming inwardly that Curry was about to go crazy again.

If Curry shoots crazy, no one can stop him, and the game will be ruined in an instant.

Xu Feng immediately told Livingston to switch with Kobe, and then pay attention to assisting defense.

But Curry's off the ball is difficult to defend, unless there is a foul.

Curry is not particularly famous yet, so the referees in the league did not pay special attention to him, so Curry still has a whistle.

As for Curry not having a whistle or a cylinder, that was later.

The Warriors led more and more, and D'Antoni had to call a timeout to respond.

Xu Feng doesn't have many ways to deal with Curry's off-ball. After all, Curry is small and flexible. As long as there is a gap, he can squeeze through.

There is only one way now, which is to strangle the passer. Even if Curry runs out of space and no one passes, he will run in vain.

The person who passes the ball to Curry now is mainly Green.

Correct!
Choke Green!

Xu Feng said to the Lakers players: "Leave Green to me later, and the rest of you try to defend as closely as possible, and Curry doesn't care about him."

Curry doesn't care?
The teammates were a little confused.

But Xu Feng is not only the core of the current Lakers, but also an assistant coach.

So everyone was obedient and nodded in agreement.

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe received the ball, hit the penalty area again, made a stop jump shot, and scored two points.

Now the Lakers are scoring two points and two points, while the Warriors are scoring three points and three points.

So the Warriors are leading now.

The Warriors attacked, Curry continued to run without the ball, and Xu Feng stood in front of Green.

Green dribbled the ball in the backcourt, and Xu Feng pressed the whole court. Green was a little uncomfortable watching, and felt that it was not good.

Just after halftime, Xu Feng suddenly accelerated and stretched out his long arms. Green couldn't dodge in time, and Xu Feng broke the ball.

Green is the last line of defense. After Xu Feng steals the ball, he will score a layup. Green has no choice but to make a tactical foul and hold Xu Feng back.

Lakers possession.

In fact, Xu Feng could steal the ball earlier, but he didn't do that because he wanted Curry to run for a while.

This is a tactic that consumes Curry's physical strength.

No matter how well Curry can run, he is still human. After running so much in the first half, his physical strength will decrease in the second half, and his hands will feel cold.

The Lakers attacked, Xu Feng received the ball from the waist and passed it to McGee.

McGee slams for a dunk!

The Lakers slowly caught up with the score, and Curry couldn't catch the ball.

The first half was almost over, Cole did not call a timeout, his face was gloomy, knowing that the Lakers' countermeasures suppressed him, and he had to make adjustments during the intermission.

In fact, he was more surprised, because it is normal for you to come and go on the court, and it is normal to see each move.

But like the Lakers, it is rare to respond so quickly.

With 18 seconds left in the first half, 57:57, the two sides tied, and the Warriors had one chance to attack.

Because Green was afraid of being intercepted by Xu Feng, he no longer controlled the ball, but handed the ball to Thompson.

Thompson was not easy to play against Kobe, so he could only make one strong shot.

Boom!
Pop out!

It's time for the first half.

The two teams drew.

With both Curry and Thompson able to perform normally, the tie with the Warriors shows how fierce the Lakers are now.

But Xu Feng didn't have a happy expression on his face. The Warriors will definitely go crazy in the third quarter, and the Lakers are in a very difficult situation.

Therefore, during the halftime break, the Lakers must come up with countermeasures to contain the Warriors' mad attack.

Xu Feng sat on a chair in the locker room, without saying a word, and covered his head with a towel.

The teammates all knew that Xu Feng was thinking, so everyone did not disturb him and rested quietly in the locker room.

After a while, Xu Feng suddenly threw away the towel and stood up.

"Brothers, at the beginning of the third quarter, we will switch defenses infinitely, without double-teaming, and I will watch Green!"

When the teammates heard it, they were a little confused. If Curry can continue the touch of the first quarter, if he doesn't double-team, he will be shot to death.

"Xu, can Curry do it alone?"

"No problem, stick tighter, change players when you encounter a screen, continue to stick tight, it doesn't matter if you make a little movement, the referee blows the whistle and let him make free throws!" This is already the best plan to deal with Curry.

For this kind of superstar, it can only be restricted to the greatest extent, and it is impossible to completely lock it up.

Kobe also stood up at this time, raised his hand and said, "Xu Feng is right. Let me add one more point. The inside line is actually very important to the Warriors. Their pick-and-rolls and lobs are all important means of scoring."

McGee and Tucker nodded one after another. They don't look too tired today, but they have been fighting with the Warriors inside.

McGee and Tucker destroyed several opportunities for the Warriors to catch alleys.

So everyone has to contribute in their respective positions.

The second half of the game began.

As Xu Feng expected, the Warriors launched a fierce attack in the third quarter, commonly known as "brave and three crazy".

Curry and Thompson hit a three-pointer each.

But the Lakers did not panic. They followed Xu Feng's instructions and continued to switch defenses infinitely, keeping close to Curry and Thompson.

This kind of defense made the Splash Brothers very uncomfortable. Even with cover, they couldn't get rid of the defense.
