How to fight against the Warriors' shooters?

D'Antoni saw that Kobe was already showing fatigue, and he knew how hard Kobe was trying to compete with the Warriors' young people.

Kobe's state has started to fluctuate recently, and now Kobe is tired, and the second half continues to play like the first half, and his state is definitely not much better.

D'Antoni was a little worried. In the first half, he pointed out that "the best defense is offense" to harden the Warriors. He believed that the Lakers' offense was definitely the best in the league. They would definitely surpass the Warriors. It can be described as horror, and it can be said to be the true ultimate performance of small ball tactics so far!

D'Antoni suddenly discovered that he couldn't deal with the Warriors with offense alone!
And there is nothing to do on the defensive end!
Now if Kobe can't play, use Jeremy Lin and McCollum?Or LaVine, Clarkson?It's not a good way, is it?
The Warriors have scored 17 three-pointers in the halftime. The Lakers are relying on Liu Ren, Kobe Bryant, Jeremy Lin, and Nick Young, who feels good today. The four players on the bench can't match Kobe's firepower. ah!

"We can only rely on Liu, he is an amazing guy, and he will definitely be able to reproduce the miracle of the last match against the Warriors!" D'Antoni has already begun to resign himself to fate.

"Our starting lineup in the third quarter, Steve, Nick, Liu, Drummond, Hassan, you go." D'Antoni arranged.

Another three shooters plus a playmaker and a rebounder, the Lakers players immediately saw what the coach wanted to do.

Keep going hard with the Warriors!

Lakers players said they liked the decision.

The young people of the Lakers still haven't seen the horror of the Warriors. In other words, they are a little proud and don't think much of the Warriors. In other words, they are now number one in the league. No one is their opponent. The two games they lost Totally by accident!
Liu Ren said at this time: "Coach, should we change the defensive lineup?"

"Defensive lineup?" D'Antoni asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I think your arrangement, coach, should have worked. Curry hasn't shot for a long time, and I believe his hands are cold!" Liu Ren said firmly.

At the end of the second quarter, Curry took advantage of Liu Ren's unpreparedness to hit a three-pointer decisively. Liu Ren believed that the tactic of not letting Curry catch the ball worked!

The most frightening thing about Curry is that after he hits a three-pointer, he hits three-pointers one after another, and there will be no situation where the feel is used up, and he will only shoot more and more accurately!
So the only way is to freeze Curry's shots and cool down his touch.

However, this is only possible for the strongest teams. To do so, it is bound to use the best defensive perimeters in the league.

But the outside lines with such defensive strength are basically the outside line defense gates of their team. They are not used to defend against one person, but to connect key players inside and outside the line. If they are used to defend against one person, it will obviously destroy the entire team. The team's defensive system.

If such a defensive strategy is really used, nine times out of ten it will eventually fail.

The 15-16 season has proved this countless times. Teams that are not strong enough will lose in this way, and the Warriors have basically broken the Bulls' record of 72 wins before Liu Ren crossed over.

But today, Liu Ren felt that half of the success was achieved, because when he froze Curry's shot, the Lakers relied on offense to withstand the attacks of the Warriors' other shooters, and the point difference was only four points!
"Curry should feel cold already!"

D'Antoni and Bickerstaff looked at each other, as if it was true!
There is a play!

Neither of them expected that Liu Ren would come up with such a tactic in his own brain, and they would understand the danger of it as soon as they thought about it. If it weren't for the fact that the Lakers' offense is really good, they can compete with the Warriors in offense. Just because the defensive system was destroyed, the rest of the Warriors made good shots and lost.

But as long as the effect is good, it is a good tactic, right?
Bickerstaff nodded to D'Antoni, who nodded back.

D'Antoni pretended to know everything: "Really? Liu, do you think the time has come? Well, Zach, CJ, Liu, Drummond, and Hassan, you must guard against them!" "

……

……

"Today's offensive game is really good! Our Lakers are blooming inside and outside, and the Warriors are shooting wildly from outside. The score is crazy! Halftime is higher than many teams in three quarters!"

"Yes, I think the second half will be very good, after all, neither the Lakers nor the Warriors can defend their opponents."

"..."

Fans, live commentary, and experts all predicted that the second half would still be a shooting war, and some experts even predicted that it would break the historical single-game score record.

After returning from the halftime break, everyone felt strange when they saw the Lakers starting lineup for the second half.

Where's the pitcher?
How can you play against the Warriors without a pitcher?
Why did the Lakers only send Liu Ren as an outside shooter?
McCollum is a shooting guard with a balanced offense and defense, and his defense is a well-deserved number one among the Lakers' backcourt players.

LaVine is most admired for his defensive awareness, his physical talent is there, and his idol Kobe is on the sidelines. Every time he plays, he goes all out to defend, which is appreciated by the Lakers management. He has strengthened his determination to let him take over the Lakers' backcourt in the future.

Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside are all well-known defensive champions of the Lakers. In other words, the Lakers have put on a defensive lineup.

Some experts immediately tweeted after seeing the Lakers lineup: "This... I think the Lakers' idea is good. After all, defense wins the championship, but now the Lakers have thought of a way to defend the Warriors. Is it? Curry has the ability to shoot three-pointers without dead ends. Thompson is a super scorer who has competed with Liu for the scoring title in a single quarter. Both of them are in such a good state today, can they be defended? I still think that the attack is more reliable One point, the Lakers rank first in the league with 114 points per game this season, and they shouldn't give up such a good advantage."

Indeed, the Lakers temporarily rank first in the league in points per game this season. During the 19-game winning streak, the Lakers scored almost more than 110 and almost 120, which greatly increased the average points per game.

The fans all agree with what the expert said, and occasionally the expert will say something that makes sense.

But people are like only knowing that Mount Everest is the first peak and not knowing where the second peak is. The Warriors averaged 109 points per game this season, second in the league!Scoring ability is still the league's top!

The Lakers' average points per game are slowly declining after their 19-game winning streak. Generally speaking, the two teams are actually on the same level!
