……

The Lakers have trained many times to simulate the Warriors' tactical system before. They played exactly the same as the Warriors on the court. The two teams played awkwardly from the beginning of the game.

It's really awkward. If the two teams used five small lineups in the past, they would basically encounter an opponent with a big man who couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and then drag the opponent down in two or three hits.

If the opponent also sends five outsiders, then their Green and Green are both teams that can reach the center position. They have a true center play style, and their speed can keep up with the small forward replaced by the opponent. The inside offense has a huge matchup advantage, so it is easy to solve the opponent every time, especially the Warriors who have been insisting on Wharton's death five-point play this year. They have not lost a single game in the first 29 games. After losing to the Warriors, D'Antoni began to integrate the Warriors' tactics into his own system, which has to be said to be really powerful.

D'Antoni doesn't mind whether he can stay with the Lakers after the end of this year, and to help a group of Walton who may come to the Lakers to take over next season to integrate the five small tactics into the Lakers, D'Antoni is willing, because Although the Lakers were unhappy with him for a while, the Lakers did not interfere with his coaching.

This is the treatment he didn't get in the Suns. Even if Bickerstaff was added to the coaching staff and his ineffective brother was fired, Bickerstaff never took the initiative to fight for any power. , and even took the initiative to avoid matters related to on-site coaching and tactical systems, and the addition of Bickerstaff also made his system not only offensive, but also defensive, and there was also a change in rhythm, unlike before. , Just then, he was pressed and beaten by the Spurs.

Moreover, D'Antoni has completed the highest goal of his coaching career with the Lakers, which is to win the championship, and also won the second best coach of his career, so even if he makes a wedding dress for others, he will change the Lakers system for others. To be more perfect, let others come and take over the team directly, and even integrate into the new system without too much tactical training.

However, it is really awkward for these two teams playing in the five small lineups to play against each other.

Too bad, the backcourt combination of Clarkson and Kobe is about the same speed as Curry and Klay-Klay-Thompson, and now they all focus on running positions, and their teammates create opportunities for them.

Randall and Green have played hard steel many times. Both of them are very familiar with each other. Green is much stronger defensively, Randall is slightly stronger offensively, and his organizational skills are evenly matched. Neither of them can take much advantage.

Jason Thompson is not a fast power forward either, he is about the same as Gasol, Gasol is taller and more dominant on the rebound, and he can also open up shots, while Jason Thompson has a stronger impact, on the contrary Running awareness is better.

Liu Ren and Barnes... In terms of strength, Liu Ren has a great advantage, but in a small lineup that focuses on team offense, Barnes has a few teammates to help him, and his role in this style of play is similar to that of Liu Ren , That is, from the defense of the 1st position to the 5th position, shooting and cutting without the ball on the offensive end.

Originally, both Wharton and D'Antoni believed that if the two teams competed against each other, it should be a confrontational battle, and then the two coaches worked together to find the weakness of the Death Five, but what they did not expect was that the biggest enemy of the Death Five It just so happened to be Death Five himself!

Except for the Warriors scoring a fast attack in the opening game, the two teams did not score in sports for several minutes in the next few minutes except for fouling and walking to the free throw line. .

In 3 minutes, the Warriors were 6-4, and the two teams played quite embarrassingly.

Finally, when Clarkson's pass was quickly shot out of bounds by Curry, D'Antoni and Walton just happened to look at each other. They both saw each other's embarrassment, and then Walton respected the elder and called a timeout.

Both D'Antoni and Wharton tacitly chose to switch to the traditional style of play. The lineup is still this lineup, but only when they can rotate defenses without restrictions and then fast breaks have become ordinary running and bombing.

Both D'Antoni and Walton got the answer they wanted. The answer is that the biggest enemy is themselves. They don't want other teams to see how to deal with this five-small tactics. Walton wants to help the Warriors win the championship. , and then take a higher starting point to meet his real head coach position, so the way to beat the Warriors cannot be seen by other teams.

And D'Antoni also attaches great importance to Wharton's new system of "study abroad". He wants to truly integrate into his own system, instead of relying on the Lakers to field a lineup similar to the Warriors. He can adapt to local conditions, and it is not like his future style of play will be seen through by others.

Pause back.

The Lakers continued to attack. According to the tactics, it was Liu Ren who was about to fight.

Liu Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got the ball. The death five is good. The team play is very powerful when they abuse the food, and the strong team is also very bright, but he is actually not so comfortable playing. The position in the small system is actually uncomfortable, just as Barnes dislikes his position in the Warriors.

Barnes wants to be a star, even if he can't be a superstar, at least he has to be as popular as LaVine and Clarkson. There are fans everywhere, don't take the blame, and he often takes the blame in the Warriors After the end of the Western Conference Finals last year, he wanted to apply for a trade. Fortunately, Walton calmed him down, because in the five-small system, he is more suitable to play small forward than Iguodala, because he can do without holding up. The ball can contribute, but Iguodala can't.

In the five small systems, players with good passing awareness, great threat, and daring to make waves are required to serve as the offensive end point. The player of the Warriors is Curry. Curry's waves are no longer a day or two. Bilang went, and the most suitable for the Lakers to be the first finisher is naturally Kobe, who is now playing off the ball, and he shoots as soon as he catches the ball.

It's just that today it's hard to be made uncomfortable by the Warriors who are more familiar with this style of play. Curry is also uncomfortable, and everyone is uncomfortable.

Now finally returning to the most familiar style of play, Liu Ren took charge of the Lakers' first attack after coming back from a timeout.

What is Liu Ren's favorite style of play...of course it is singles!
It was Barnes who defended Liu Ren. Klay Thompson must have the best defense on the outside of the Warriors except Iguodala, but he had to defend Kobe. Curry defending Kobe is a disaster, and Barnes is not much better. His defense against Kobe is definitely from the beginning of the game to eating fake moves to the end.

In fact, Barnes and Liu Ren have very similar experiences, and the two entered the NBA at about the same time, Liu Ren in 2011 and Barnes in 2012.

When Liu Ren joined the Lakers, the Lakers were still a championship team. Without his position, he had no chance to perform.

Although Barnes was a high-ranked rookie when he entered the Warriors, the Warriors have begun to rise, and he has few chances to perform as a rookie in the playoffs.

Compared with Liu Ren, luck is a little bit better. When he came to this world, the Lakers were waiting to be done, and he, a man of physical fitness, got a chance to perform.

Barnes was not so lucky. He didn't have a chance to perform in his rookie year. In the second grade, Iguodala came again. He didn't get ahead until last season, but he was targeted by the Lakers in the Western Conference finals. I was so scolded that I wanted to apply for a deal,

However, after Walton became the interim head coach this year, he stabilized him, gave him more shooting opportunities, and played more with the second team dominated by Iguodala and Livingston as the main scorer.

Therefore, Barnes is very grateful to Wharton, and feels like Maxima meets Bole.

Barnes is strong in confrontation and not bad in strength. Most of the time, he defends well against the opponent's offensive arrows. He is the key figure for the Warriors to play so well this year. If the Splash Brothers and Randall are the foundation of the Warriors, then Barnes, Jason Thompson, Livingston and other players who use defense, space and movement to disrupt the opponent's defense are the key to sublimating this foundation. The point that Walton is better than Steve Kerr is that He has to be very careful about the distribution of roles.

Barnes defends very well, and Liu Ren admits that he defends very well and has a strong sense of position. He is in a position where he can defend against breakthroughs and shots. He also has a good stance angle, with his body facing the direction Kobe is running. Blocking, and also taking into account Liu Ren's pass.

But Barnes' defense is not without weaknesses. On the contrary, the weaknesses are very obvious to very few players. Barnes' speed is not the top one, and he lacks defensive experience. .

And Liu Ren happens to be the group that is fast enough to compare with Westbrook, and at the same time stronger.

Liu Ren saw that Barnes did a good job defending, and it was really not easy to rely on technology to break through, so let's make a breakthrough!
Liu Ren did not throw Barnes away with a change of direction, but moved Barnes. Since he moved, it was not an offensive foul to collide with each other. Liu Ren changed direction again and moved to the right, and Barnes continued to follow Going up, at this time, Liu Ren pretended to slam into Barnes when Barnes moved sideways. Barnes had been bullied by Liu Ren with force in the past two years, and his body involuntarily stopped and tightened. The muscles were ready to resist the impact, but when Barnes tightened his muscles and his mobility decreased, Liu Ren kicked his left foot to the ground, bypassing Barnes and rushing into the inside lane.

After one step into the free throw line, Liu Ren flew up and gliding and dunked successfully.

Randall and Jason Thompson were actually ready to attack when Liu Ren made a breakthrough. Even Liu Ren and James would suffer if the three flanked.

But neither Randall nor Jason Thompson expected Liu Ren to break through so quickly, and Barnes couldn't even block it!
