Chapter [-] Severe Situation

"The Warriors won the first game, which was beyond most people's expectations (the storm). With a victory at the Lakers' home court, the Warriors' confidence may be enough, which is definitely not a good thing for the Lakers (Peerless male concubine). The Warriors have a tradition of playing strong teams. They have won almost all strong teams this season, such as the Lakers, Cavaliers, Celtics, Spurs, and Nuggets.

There is no doubt that this is a team that is easy to go crazy. If they are allowed to find the feeling of the game, even a strong team like the Lakers will not be willing to face it.

Of course, we have to congratulate the Warriors. Their performance in this game is astonishing and respectable. Facing the Lakers, they don't have any psychological pressure, which is why they played such an outstanding state. "

As Mike Breen said, the Warriors won the first game of the playoffs definitely beyond the expectations of many people.The Warriors got the victory they wanted, and the Lakers were very reluctant to lose the game they might not have thought of losing.

On the big score, the Warriors lead the Lakers 1:0, which also means that many pre-match speculations have come to nothing at this time. Those who predicted that the Lakers would sweep the Warriors 4:0 disappeared completely after the first game, because After this game, it was already doomed that their predictions were completely wrong.

After every game, people will always inadvertently compare the leaders of the two teams, and this game is no exception.

In the first game, the two leaders of the Lakers and Warriors performed very well. Kobe scored a game-high 35 points, plus 4 assists and 6 rebounds.Yang Shuai's statistics did not fall behind, he scored 33 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.

Although many people realized that Yang Shuai's improvement speed was indeed amazing when Yang Shuai got the most improved player, but at this time, after a comparison with Kobe, people discovered that Yang Shuai's progress was far beyond people's imagination. faster.Starting from relying on defense last season, to this season's offensive has greatly improved, Yang Shuai has grown from a blue-collar player to a first-class star in just two seasons.

In terms of offensive ability, Yang Shuai is certainly not as good as Kobe, but Yang Shuai's offensive ability is enough to threaten any team, even the Lakers.

Only Handsome Yang knows how fast he is. The longer he stays in the nba, the more he sighs that he was really lucky in the first place to encounter such a good thing as the mysterious space. This guy Xiaoqiang (read the full text of Outlaws of the Marsh).

Although the Warriors won the first game, it does not mean that the outside world will be optimistic about the Warriors. After all, the strength of the Lakers lies there and cannot be ignored.Many people even believe that the loss in the first game will most likely stimulate the Lakers, which will lead to the Lakers taking this round of playoffs more seriously in the next games, and the Warriors will completely lose their chance.

As if to confirm the speculation of these people, in the second game, the two teams played without suspense, and the Warriors did not cause too much trouble to the Lakers throughout the game.

The Lakers know very well that if they want the game to proceed as they envisioned as much as possible, they must curb the Warriors' scoring desires that often occur, and the two key points in the middle are to curb the Warriors' fast break and Yang Shuai. .

The Warriors always seem to have this situation. When they have a scoring climax, there will always be one or two offenses completed in the fast break, and there always seems to be Yang Shuai.

In fact, Yang Shuai has also discovered that he has this characteristic. He is always good at scoring consecutively. Although this kind of performance does not appear in every game, the frequency of occurrence is very high.

Whenever Yang Shuai finds the touch with one or two balls, he will easily hit the ball in several consecutive offenses, and the Warriors will try their best to hand the ball to Yang Shuai at this time. A handsome guy's self-confidence has a lot to do with it.

In the second game, the Lakers did a very good job on these two points. The Warriors' fast break was well restricted by them, and Yang Shuai did not make more than two consecutive goals in the whole game.

Because of the first game, Ariza also understood Yang Shuai's ability to break through, and was especially impressed by Yang Shuai's speed. He also mentioned this point when he communicated with Phil Jackson after the game. Arrangements were made at one point.

At the end of Yang Shuai's offense with the ball, the Lakers adopted a zone defense. Once Yang Shuai breaks through, he will always be double-teamed by more than two Lakers players. At this time, the Lakers are most worried about Yang Shuai's pass, so this time In the game, Odom, who moved faster than Bynum, got more chances to play, and at the point guard position, Derek Fisher played less time than the previous game (possessed The latest chapter of Cheng Ying).

Against the Warriors, the Lakers never had to worry about their own offense, but what they worried about was only the Warriors' offense.The score was finally fixed at 98:109, and the Lakers limited the Warriors' scoring to less than 100. This may be the most important reason why they were able to win the game.

Because he received more attention on defense, Yang Shuai's data dropped significantly in this game. He scored 25 points in the game, and he only assisted 3 times, and grabbed 10 rebounds. Yang Shuai scored a double-double for the first time in the playoffs.

After two games, the two teams drew one to one and returned to the same starting line.The Warriors fans are quite satisfied with this result, because there are two Warriors home games next.Counting, if the game reaches the seventh game, the Warriors still have three home games, while the Lakers only have two, which undoubtedly still has the Warriors' advantage.

The home court advantage is obvious in the playoffs, but it is not absolute, such as the first game between the Warriors and the Lakers, and another example is the third game between the Warriors and the Lakers that just ended.

In the last game in Los Angeles, the Warriors did not play the offense they wanted. The Warriors were very dissatisfied. They expected to change after returning home. This is indeed the case. The Warriors played very well in this game. Scored 118 points, but they allowed the Lakers to score 130 points.

Tasted the sweetness of the last game, the Lakers continued to adopt the old tactics against the Warriors, and Yang Shuai did play very hard, but the Warriors' offense was much better than the last game, because other players stood up at this time .

Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis acted as the Warriors' main attackers in the first half of the game. The two teamed up and scored 56 of the Warriors' 30 points in the first half.

The Lakers did a good job of defending Yang Shuai, but even if their player rotation defense is good, the Warriors can still find a lot of opportunities. Jackson and Ellis' offensive firepower are not bad.

Although it is said that due to the rise of Yang Shuai this season, Jackson's scoring has been ignored by many people, but looking at the average scoring statistics after the regular season, it can be found that Jackson's role cannot be ignored (the latest chapter of Violence and Madness).In this season, Stephen Jackson averaged 20.1 points per game.

Once the Lakers contain too much defensive firepower because of Yang Shuai, Jackson will find an opportunity to attack, and the first half of this game is representative.

The Lakers are still focusing on the inside and Kobe. This is the main theme of the Lakers this round of the series, and it is also the main theme of the Lakers this season.

After halftime, the two teams scored 58:56, and the Warriors were only 2 points behind. The Lakers did not do well on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, they did very well.Entering the second half, the two teams began to fight for offense, and the Lakers still had the upper hand.

Yang Shuai only scored 7 points in the first half, and entered the second half, taking advantage of the Lakers' slight slack in defense, he immediately found an opportunity to attack.In the third quarter, the offensive rhythm of the two teams was significantly accelerated, and Yang Shuai also ushered in an explosion in this quarter, scoring 14 points in a single quarter.

But the same problem as in the first half, the Warriors could score the offense themselves, but they couldn't resist the Lakers' offense.In the third quarter, the Warriors scored 32 points in a single quarter, but they allowed the Lake to score 35 points. The shooting percentages of both teams were astonishingly high.

In the first three quarters, the Warriors were still able to stalemate with the Lakers, but in the last quarter, the Warriors were completely suppressed, starting from the first second of the fourth quarter.

Both teams replaced the substitute players at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Warriors always like to attack from the outside, even the substitute players are no exception. However, after the fourth quarter, it was the Lakers who first launched the outside attack.Shannon Brown and Sasha Vujacic, the two Lakers' substitute players made four three-pointers in the first 4 minutes of the fourth quarter, quickly extending the Lakers' lead to 10 points.

The Warriors replaced the main players, but the Lakers also replaced the main players at this time. In the duel of the main players, the Warriors also lost again.In this quarter, the Lakers scored 37 points, while the Warriors only scored 28 points.

From a 1:0 lead to a 1:2 lag, the Warriors finally realized the strength of the Lakers.The outside world's support for the two teams is also overwhelming. Of course, they are leaning towards the Lakers, especially after the fourth game (the latest chapter of Time Traveling to Be a Fake Prince).

Having lost two games in a row, the Warriors put a lot of emphasis on the fourth game. They made full preparations before the game and achieved good results. At the end of the first quarter, they already led the Lakers by 5 points.

The Lakers began to adjust from the second quarter, and the point difference between the two teams narrowed to only 2 points after halftime.Entering the second half, Kobe's three-pointer at the beginning of the third quarter allowed the Lakers to complete the overtake directly, and the subsequent game entered a stalemate.

The Lakers are strong, while the Warriors use their hard work to make up for the gap in strength. This stalemate continued until the end of the fourth quarter.

Entering the last 3 minutes of the game, the Lakers suddenly strengthened their defense, and the Warriors' offense was restricted. Within 3 minutes, only Yang Shuai and Jackson scored 2 points in the Warriors' country, while the Lakers scored 7 points. It happened to be the point difference between the two teams at the end of the game.

108:105, in the fourth game, the Warriors narrowly lost by 3 points.

Losing all their two home games, the Warriors had to face a 1:3 deficit. At this time, the outside media finally found the opportunity to criticize the Warriors, especially those who speculated that the Warriors would be swept 0:4. The score is no longer mentioned, but a magnifying glass is used to find the gap between the two teams.

The Warriors players are facing huge external pressure. It might be better if they don’t win the first game, but after winning the first game, many people have a little expectation for the Warriors. When these people find themselves After the expectations failed, the accusations followed.

They will return to the Staples Arena again. If the Warriors cannot win, they will be eliminated directly, losing four games in a row in such a shameful way.

Perhaps at that time, many people's understanding is that the Lakers did not take it seriously in the first game, so they were stolen by the Warriors, and once the Lakers played seriously, the Warriors had no resistance.

Regardless of whether there are accusations from the outside world, for the Warriors, they are not reconciled, at least they are not reconciled to losing the entire series like this.
