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

In the Warriors locker room, Kerr loudly talked about tactics with the Warriors players.

"Give Curry more cover, don't let Xu Feng chase Curry, don't spare your energy, as long as you pass the Lakers, there will be plenty of time for you to rest!"

"The most frightening thing about the Lakers is Xu Feng. You all know it well, but he is also human and has weaknesses. We have Curry, who is not inferior to Xu Feng!"

"Green, I have a task for you, no matter what, keep him out of Curry, don't let him get close to Curry!"

……

Green was still convinced by Xu Feng last season, but after the Western Conference finals, after a season, he has been convinced.

"Coach, I can't keep up with him. That guy is running too fast, and he still has enough strength. I've actually tried my best..."

Cole was furious and shouted: "You haven't tried your best! I didn't see your legs shaking, I didn't see you sweating profusely! How dare you say you tried your best?"

Green reluctantly lowered his head.

The other players are also secretly examining themselves, whether they haven't tried their best.

After experiencing the failure of the last Western Conference Finals and the loss of the regular season, most players no longer have confidence in facing the Lakers.

Only Curry and Thompson are unconvinced, but the others have already admitted psychologically.

Therefore, Kerr must inspire the confidence of the whole team and let them fight the Lakers with a beast's energy, so that they have the hope of winning.

That's the beauty of a successful coach.

In fact, as a head coach in the NBA, the most important ability is not tactics.

The NBA is not only about basketball, but also about the ways of the world.

Because there are usually several people on the coaching staff, they each perform different responsibilities, such as offense, defense, shooting, and physical training, all of which are in charge of special personnel.

Therefore, the head coach doesn't care much about the specific details. As long as he maintains a balance, he can stimulate the potential of the players in the game, which is the most important thing.

Kerr is undoubtedly one of the coaches who knows this well.

He learned from Popovich in his coaching career, and his style is very similar, both of which are good at increasing the cohesion of the team.

But in terms of on-the-spot scheduling, it is indeed a little less capable.

After Cole's motivation, the blood of the Warriors players began to boil.

The second half of the game began, and the players re-entered the field.

Xu Feng noticed that the Warriors players were gnashing their teeth, and even their eyes were red.

Something is wrong, is this bloody?
Sure enough, after the game started, the Warriors players seemed to be crazy, and their intensity doubled compared to the first half.

And today's referees seem to encourage confrontation, with very few whistles.

The fiercest one was Green. This guy seemed to be fighting MMA with Xu Feng, hugging and pulling at the same time.

Under Green's interference, Xu Feng had difficulty chasing Curry.

Curry took advantage of this gap to make consecutive three-pointers.

Brush brush!
Yong San Crazy is here again!

As soon as Curry opened, the space for the entire Warriors opened up, because everyone else was going to pounce on Curry.

Thompson's shooting opportunities increased, and he also made two consecutive shots.

The score was evened out in an instant, and then overtook.

比赛进行到第三节的5分37秒，双方比分61：64，勇士领先了3分！
D'Antoni had no choice but to call a timeout to break the momentum of the Warriors, and at the same time he had to come up with countermeasures.

Xu Feng sat on a chair, drinking water, and thinking about the situation just now.

After all, Green's weight and strength are there, and he is so desperate to pull and obstruct, it is impossible for Xu Feng to lock Curry firmly like the first half.

The problem is that except for Xu Feng, the Lakers can't keep up with Curry's footsteps.

Shu Hao's speed is very fast, but he is about the same height as Curry. Curry can shoot with a little movement, but Shu Hao can't block it.

And Kobe has been defending Thompson. Today's first half was quite successful, but his physical exertion is also very high. Let him stare at Curry, he must not be able to stare at him.

Xu Feng didn't think of any good solution, the timeout ended and the game continued.

Relying on this strategy, the Warriors found a sense of offense. Not only did Curry shoot crazy himself, but his teammates also played more smoothly.

This is the role of Curry. Even if the data is empty, he will open up the space and make it easier for his teammates to play.

So many players are able to play statistics and play worth in the Warriors, but after they go out, they gradually disappear.

The point difference further widened, the third quarter went to 9 minutes and 24 seconds, the score between the two sides was 86:70, and the Lakers fell behind by 16 points!
D'Antoni had to call a timeout again, and he needed to put on a substitute to try.

Xu Feng walked off the court without saying a word. He knew that the Warriors had won today.

The referee didn't care about Green's biting and pulling, which also contributed to the momentum of the Warriors.

The Lakers' defense has always followed the rules. Lin Shuhao, Livingston, Chandler, and Tucker are all tough within the rules.

So when the referee is loose, it is very disadvantageous.

Xu Feng covered his head with a towel, thinking about countermeasures.

The timeout ended and a substitute came off the bench, but the Warriors still kept Curry on the court.

As long as Curry does not play, the Warriors' offense will be very smooth, because the Lakers must send two people to follow Curry.

Then the others are 4 against 3, of course it is easy to fight.

The point difference further widened. At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 95:73, and the Warriors led by 22 points.

There is still one quarter left, and it is almost impossible to chase 22 points.

The audience at the Staples Arena fell silent. They never expected that they would fall behind by so many points in the first Western Conference Finals.

The scene of the first Western Conference finals last year is still vivid in my mind. In that game, the game was fought to the end, and even overtime was played before the winner was decided.

Could it be that the Warriors have improved more than the Lakers this year?
The difficulty of defending the title is really too great, the whole league is studying you, and the referee will be slightly biased towards the opponent.

Because you are the defending champion, you are a strong team, so you have to bear some unfairness.

This is already the unspoken rule of the alliance.

Xu Feng knew very well that if the first home game was lost, the series would be in danger.

[Ding, the host's worry triggered the Sakuragi Flower Road basketball system]

[The host completes the new task released by the system, and can get a chance to draw a lottery]

Xu Feng immediately asked: "System, hurry up and talk about the task, or it will be too late!"

[The host came on stage in the fourth quarter, dunked Green, and jumped onto the table at the same time, shouting: This is my territory]

Xu Feng remembered, isn't this Wade's line?

Although this scene is quite embarrassing to do, in such an important game, this kind of behavior is needed to stimulate the morale of the players and fans.

The fourth quarter began. At Xu Feng's request, D'Antoni agreed to play Xu Feng.

With Green also on the court, Xu Feng knew that the opportunity had come.
