super small forward

Chapter 620
The Warriors have a very strong defense, and it is impossible for them to be able to win such a long winning streak without being strong. Their biggest feature is the efficiency of rotating defense, pinching the outside line and shrinking the inside line.

But no matter how fast Randall and Jason Thompson are, they can't hold back Barnes for even a second!Liu Ren came in with just two changes of direction, which made Randall feel very injured. From the dunk screen, he and Jason Thompson clearly shrank in and double-teamed just right in the defensive tactics. From the screen, it looks absolutely It was Liu Ren who knocked the two of them apart and flew in to dunk the dunk...

Even if the Warriors play regular style of play, they are very fast, because the players are already fast, but they just returned to the style of play they played last season.

Curry quickly pushed forward and pulled to the left. Clarkson was defending him. First of all, Curry still had to see if there was a chance for singles. Clarkson was very close, and he was not afraid of Curry breaking through. Liu Ren is within the three-point line and can make up defenses at any time.

The Warriors' offense is mainly based on three-pointers, and most of Curry's points are three-pointers and baskets. As of the last game this season, they have averaged 16.2 three-pointers per game, and their shooting percentage is as high as 40.00%. Three, the team's three-point shooting percentage...

So Clarkson would rather let Curry break through than let him have a three-pointer.

This is why the Lakers use Clarkson, a sophomore with little defensive experience, to defend Curry. Let Liu Ren go to defend against three-pointers. It is not bad for Curry to break through if it is too tight. Go in, so it's better to let Clarkson defend, and Liu Ren is ready to defend at any time, which is much better than Liu Ren who can't defend Clarkson.

The Lakers defended Curry in the Western Conference Finals last year, and then gave Barnes endless opportunities. As a result, Barnes averaged less than 8 of 2 three-pointers per game, setting a record for the Western Conference Finals. The total number of three-pointers in a single series exceeded 10. lowest hit rate record.

In fact, if you play according to tactics, Curry should break through, because according to the current style of play of the Warriors, which is Steve Kerr's style of play, Curry creates opportunities for his teammates, and his breakthrough can attract Liu Ren to double-team. Barnes would be free.

But there is a shadow in Curry's heart, which is the shadow left by Barnes in Curry's mind in the Western Conference Finals last year, which gave Curry the impression that Barnes is intoxicating with three-pointers, even if Barnes made three-pointers this year. The hit rate has improved a lot in the five small systems, and Barnes, who feels valued, also played very hard, but it left such an impression on Curry.

Barnes was already looking forward to the 45-degree three-point line on the left side of the basket, waiting for Curry to break through and then score the ball, because that's how the tactics were arranged.

But what disappointed Barnes was that Curry did not choose to break through, but gestured for Randall to go out for a pick-and-roll.

Barnes felt a deep sense of distrust.

Randall helped to block Clarkson, but in fact he just pulled Green out. Because Green followed the defense, only Gasol was left under the Lakers basket. The basket became extremely empty, and Liu Ren dared not let go of Ba Barnes, otherwise Barnes' step to the basket is still very strong.

Curry used the pick-and-roll to hit the three-second zone, and the Lakers returned to the inside. Green, Clarkson, and Gasol, who was guarding the basket, all focused on Curry.

You must know that Curry’s three-point shooting percentage this year is 40.00%, and the shooting percentage at the basket is even more terrifying. 60.00%, and then the number of three-point shots is 11 times per game, and the shooting percentage within 6 feet from the basket is 60.00% one, ranking first among all guards in the league!Counting small forwards, only Liu Ren is taller than him. Even James has started to waver because his teammates have played well this year. His shooting percentage within 6 feet has dropped to 50.00%. Quite high, with a hit rate of 60.00%. In fact, the main reason is that there are not many shots this season...

Curry was double-teamed by three people. He immediately passed the ball back to Randall who was close to the left side of the basket. After Randall caught the ball, he was facing an empty blue. Liu Ren made a good judgment and guessed it Curry must pass back to Randall, so he made up for it immediately, but Randall's prediction was quite accurate after receiving the ball. Knowing that Liu Ren would make up for it, he gave it to Barnes immediately.

Barnes took the ball and made a three-pointer.

"Swish"

hit!

This can't be helped. Barnes is really accurate this year, and he has grasped this open opportunity very well.

However, after receiving a pass from Randall and scoring a three-pointer, Barnes' disappointment with Curry gradually turned into complaints.

Barnes should be happy when he scored a goal, but sometimes people who think that something is dead, no matter what happens, they will think of the person in their hearts who wanted to complain or be upset at first , what Barnes thinks now is that Randall trusts him very much, but Curry doesn't trust him.

But this is indeed a good shot, the tactics are very good, the simple and clear style of play depends on strength, but if the strength is enough, it is the most southern.

Liu Ren came over with the ball again. Randall and Jason Thompson were ready to double-team, and they were ready to shrink into the inside line in advance. Facing Barnes, Liu Ren continued to change direction and change direction. The direction ability is indeed average, but the effect is often good, because he can directly knock the opponent away with a little chance, so the technique of changing direction is not so important.

Just when Liu Ren made a forward acceleration after changing direction continuously, Randall and Jason Thompson's tense nerves made them rush to the inside line directly, but Liu Ren threw the ball to the left baseline, Gasol made a mid-range shot.

"..." Randall wanted to cry, without the trust between people, how could he be able to deceive people with fake moves!
Randall seemed to see O'Neill's five big jons waving to him, and he himself felt how stupid his behavior was just now, how ridiculous it looked...

As he expected, O'Neal and Barkley in the live broadcast hall were already laughing. With two consecutive goals, Randall contributed two consecutive five-level defensive behaviors...

The Warriors came again, and Curry held the ball. This time, Curry didn't break through or ask for a pick-and-roll, but passed the ball from the outside to make a single three-pointer, and then suddenly threw it to the right corner.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Warriors started off-ball pick-and-rolls and runs.

Klay Thompson used Randall's screen to go around the bottom line, Jason Thompson went to the basket to block Kobe who was chasing and coming in for Klay Thompson, Klay Thompson went around the bottom line to the other corner, empty !

Just when Klay Thompson came outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, Curry just passed the ball. Klay Thompson caught the ball and turned around for a three-pointer... Kobe bypassed the inside defense and it was over.

"Swish"

The Warriors scored two three-pointers in a row after returning from a timeout!
The cooperation between Curry and Thompson is really tacit. At the same time, Curry has a very high degree of trust in the results of the continuous pick-and-roll between Randall, Jason Thompson and Klay Thompson. In the end, trust plus tacit understanding gave Klay- Thompson created the perfect catch-and-shoot [-]-point opportunity.
