Chapter 520 The Battle of Tianwang Mountain

"Mvp has a perfect triple-double, the Warriors beat the Lakers and tied the total score"

2:2 tie, after the fourth game, the Warriors and the Lakers drew with the Immortal World.At this time, the predictions about the outcome of the game are no longer in favor of the Lakers like after the third game. There are still many people who predict that the Lakers will eventually enter the finals. However, most of these people are invading the Lakers and the Warriors. It will be the seventh game.

Some people prefer the Lakers, and naturally some people prefer the Warriors. The performance of the Warriors in the last game has confirmed the thoughts of these supporters. In their view, the Warriors are indeed stronger than the Lakers.

Whether it is biased towards the Lakers or the Warriors, at least one thing is certain. Almost everyone believes that whoever can win the next game will take the initiative.

In the past four games, whoever performed better in a certain game and who can better display the strength of the entire team will win the game.This is true for the Warriors in the first and fourth games, and the same is true for the Lakers in the second and third games.

Regarding the question of which of the two teams, the Warriors or the Lakers, is stronger, in fact, it has never stopped after the start of the Western Conference playoffs.

These two teams are very different situations, and the Lakers represent an older generation of stars.Both Kobe, Artest and Fisher entered the NBA before 2000, and Gasol joined the NBA in 01, when he was nearly [-] years old.In the starting lineup, only Bynum is younger.

In contrast to the Warriors, only two important players at the power forward position entered the league before 2000. Yang Shuai entered the league only for the third year, and Evans was a rookie season.New-generation players like Yang Shuai and Evans, players in their prime like Jackson, Chandler, and Hinrich, combined with veterans like Wallace and Jamison, the overall combination of the Warriors' lineup Very reasonable, with the impact of young players and the experience of older players.

As a leader, Yang Shuai is indeed still young, but he has experience in the finals, and Yang Shuai's performance at critical moments is also impeccable, which also makes the Warriors hardly able to make any difference in the structure of the lineup. A place where people criticize.

The structure is different, and the comparison of the players in each position of the two teams cannot be simply described as different.

Andrew Bynum of the Lakers carries the hope of Lakers fans for another powerful center for the Purple and Gold Corps, but Bynum cannot be such a sustenance at this time.In the Lakers' starting lineup, Bynum may have the lowest status.Needless to say, Kobe is the absolute leader of the Lakers; Gasol is the fulcrum and core of the Lakers' offense; One, the status of the Lakers is second only to Kobe.

Whether it is offense or defense, Bynum's position in the Lakers does not seem to be very clear.In this regard, Chandler is different.

Although there is a difference between Chandler and Bynum in terms of offensive ability, Chandler's position in the Warriors is very clear, defense!And Chandler has done a very good job at this point, he can not score the whole game, but he can maintain a high degree of defense in such a situation.

Chandler and Bynum's matchup, Chandler's defense will reduce Bynum's role in half. If Chandler concentrates on defending Bynum, he can even let Bynum play in seven games. Disappear for at least three games.

At the power forward position, Gasol's ability in his prime may be stronger than Rasheed Wallace and Antawn Jamison at this time, but such advantages are extremely limited.The ability of the key ball, Gasol is no better than Wallace and Jamison.

As for the three outside players, the leaders of the two teams should be compared together. Kobe and Yang Shuai cannot be said to be absolutely stronger. The performance of the two depends entirely on their performance on the spot. They are also the most controversial comparison.

Evans and Artest, these two are tasked with defending the opponent's absolute core. From the perspective of ability, Artest's defense is stronger. At the critical moment, the Warriors' defense against Kobe is still handed over to Yang Shuai.

But Evans has his advantages. With a very strong impact, his contribution on the offensive end is greater than that of Artest. He can use his own breakthrough to tear apart the Lakers' defense. He can score by himself and create opportunities for his teammates. People's contributions to their respective teams can also be judged as comparable.

Hinrich and Fisher, in terms of status and fame in the team, Hinrich is not as good as Fisher, and Fisher's big heart at critical moments is also not possessed by Hinrich.

However, in regular time, after two years of honing, Hinrich's open shooting ability is as good as Fisher's, and this is exactly what he needs to do in the Warriors.

From the comparison of the players, it can be seen that the strength of the two teams is indeed very close. Although there is no overlap in position, the overall strength is almost the same.

In the regular season, the reason why the Warriors performed better than the Lakers is largely due to the styles of the two teams. The strength of the Warriors lies in their offense. The invincible offense allows them to defeat their opponents again and again. Almost all weak teams won directly, but the Lakers still had a lot of upset losses this season.

On the other hand, it lies in Yang Shuai and Kobe. Judging from the regular season, Yang Shuai is indeed better than Kobe.He's young enough to use his talents to the fullest, and because he's constantly improving, the rest of the team simply can't make the best defense against him.

These two factors do not mean that they belong to the Warriors' advantage in entering the playoffs. Here, a team that can exert the greatest combat effectiveness will be the ultimate winner.

Both the Warriors and the Lakers realized that the opponent was similar in strength to their own. Therefore, no one dared to take it lightly for the fifth game. Even when answering reporters' questions, the players of the two teams chose to be cautious.

The emphasis on attitude also made the players of both sides pay attention to action. After the fourth game in Los Angeles, the two teams rushed to Oakland immediately. After getting enough rest the next day, both teams carried out in-team training. It is to prepare for the fifth battle.

The two teams have played against each other for four games, and they are already familiar with the situation. What they have to do is how to make their on-the-spot performance better after the start of the game.

Before the training in the team, Nelson Sr. and Mike Malone sorted out some of the mistakes the Warriors made in the previous four games for the Warriors players to watch, and the content of the training in the team was to correct these, and Nelson Sr. was in charge Offense, Mike Malone on defense.

In addition to the content of the team training, Yang Shuai and his teammates also stayed for extra training. According to their own characteristics, each player chose his own extra training content.For Yang Shuai, he only needs to maintain his shooting feeling, so he chose to practice shooting more, and Yang Shuai didn't leave the training hall until he felt that his condition was maintained very well.

The next day, the fifth game between the Warriors and the Lakers.

The fifth game between the Warriors and the Lakers moved to Oakland, which is the home of the Warriors. Although the previous home game was defeated by the Lakers, this did not affect the confidence and enthusiasm of the Warriors fans for the team.

"Warriors! Warriors!" The players of the two teams hadn't come out of the locker room yet, but the atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm, and the huge cheers could even be heard by the Warriors players who were in very good sound insulation.

"Guys, do you hear the cheers outside? Our fans can't wait, and I can't wait! Win this game, we'll win match point, and there's no end to pressure on those guys. We must win this battle, and we will definitely win it!

The Lakers are very strong, but the Warriors are the best team in the league!Bring out our full strength, for the goal of the championship, kill them! "

"Kill them!" Yang Shuai's roar fell, followed by the roars of the rest of the Warriors.

.........

"Reduce turnovers, control rebounds, and reduce the chances of the opponent's quick counterattack..."

"The group of guys on the opposite side are regular season champions, but we are a playoff team! As the defending champions, we have only one goal from the first day of the season, successfully defending the title! In the East, Boston Kyle The special people will probably be the team that enters the finals. Think about how we failed in the finals two seasons ago.

Re-entering the Finals and winning the championship against the Boston Celtics is the best way to prove us! "The visiting team's locker room also echoed with shouts.

…………

"Friends from the audience, welcome to watch the 09-10 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals, Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers!"

"This is a crucial battle. In the past four games, the Warriors and the Lakers tied 2:2. Although Yang and his Warriors had some problems in the second and third games, in the fourth game Yang made adjustments in time, and he led the team to win with a complete performance and equalized the score.

Returning to the home court again, I believe Yang will also perform well, oh, listen to the cheers at the scene, players from both sides have appeared! "

"Yang! Yang! Yang!" Accompanied by cheers, Yang Shuai quickly ran out of the player tunnel, then clapped his hands with his teammates one by one, and then suddenly raised his head and shouted at the audience.

"Roar!" Yang Shuai didn't have a loudspeaker on him, but at this moment, all the Warriors fans seemed to feel the roar ringing in their ears, and even louder cheers erupted at the scene.

Both teams started the same as the previous game. For the Warriors, starting center Tyson Chandler, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Tyreke Evans, point guard Ball guard Kirk Hinrich.

The Lakers' starting center Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Derek Fisher.
