I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 215 Chinese Sniper God
Sure enough, as mentioned above, the Spurs are not afraid of being reasonable, they are afraid of being unreasonable.

In the second game, the Lakers changed again. This time, Kobe broke through and scored. Chu Xiao, Artest and others made three-pointers from the outside. How to take the initiative to score, the desire to attack is not strong.

As a result, the Lakers lost their lives to the Spurs, and made another victory 102-91.

The third and fourth games are the home court of the Spurs. Although they lost two games, the Spurs are the first team in NBA history to perform the "Black Seven Miracle". Not to mention their continued upset this time, at least in the It should not be difficult to win at home.

However, the Lakers resorted to the "Double Dragon Playing Pearl" in the third game. Kobe and Chu Xiao took turns breaking through their defenses and bloodbathed their opponents in San Antonio 120-89.

In the fourth game, Chu Xiao and Kobe kept Parker and Ginobili in a slump through defense, and Duncan finally found confidence in Warcraft.However, the Spurs "GDP" three musketeers are a relationship between lips and teeth. Even if two of the three points are functioning normally, they can maintain a close bond between the inside and outside lines. likely to win.If the outside line is generally sluggish, no matter how hard Duncan struggles inside, it will be difficult to bring the Spurs to victory.

The ending can be imagined, the Lakers 103-82 Spurs, another big victory, the series advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with a total score of 4-0.

No one expected that the Spurs would have their heads shaved when the two teams faced off again after 2008.

Looking at other matchups in the Western District, the Thunder, ranked first in the regular season, met the Houston Rockets led by former teammate James Harden in the first round of the playoffs. Although the Thunder quickly won three consecutive victories, but With All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook injured, the Rockets raced to two straight wins before the Thunder advanced 4-2.

With Paul, the Clippers eliminated the Grizzlies in 4 with 3 wins and 2011 losses in the first round of the playoffs. As a result, they played 6 games against the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. In the end, they lost to their opponents with a total score of 2-4, succeeded in revenge, and stopped the first round of the playoffs.

In the game against the Nuggets, the Warriors eliminated their opponents 4-2, allowing the Nuggets to be eliminated in the first round for 4 consecutive seasons.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Thunder faced the Grizzlies, and the Warriors faced the Lakers. Curry's 98K and Chu Xiao's M24 met again.

But this time, Curry's 98K lost the 3x lens, and he was injured!In the second game against the Nuggets, he sprained his left ankle. After G4 and G[-], he took a large dose of anti-inflammatory injections, which could only relieve the pain. Since he has been playing, he has not healed yet.

So this match made Chu Xiao known as the "Chinese Sniper God".

Before the game, the Warriors made a change, sending Bogut, Draymond Green, Barnes, Thompson, and Curry to the Lakers' "three highs" - Pau Gaso Hall, Howard, Odom.

The Warriors' "one big and four small" are just the experimental version of the "dead five small" later. Chu Xiao's same draft pick Draymond Green is only 2.01 meters, but he was placed in the power forward position. Green is a breakthrough player. A short insider who can shoot and pass, a bit like Barkley before.

This lineup uses Curry as the core of the outside organization and Green as the core of the inside organization. Through continuous transmission of the ball to make the ball score in the open hands, Curry passes the ball from the outside to the inside, and then runs without the ball to the inside to attract firepower. , Create opportunities for the inside line. If the inside line has no chance, pass the ball back to Curry who has no ball and returns to the outside line or Thompson who is open. The "Splash Brothers" are all top shooters. The flexibility in the game directly displaces and hits the tall player on the opposite side, shaking the opponent away to shoot or pass the ball.

The Warriors relied on this lineup to defeat the more impactful Nuggets and advance to the second round of the playoffs, but after Curry was injured, his power was naturally greatly reduced.It can only be their misfortune to meet the three highs of the Lakers.

Compared with their big and small teams, Gasol, Warcraft and Odom's three-high inside lineup of the Lakers is also a pioneering work. This lineup allows the Lakers to have a height advantage on both ends of the offense and defense, and the compatibility is very good.Gasol has strong shooting ability, double-teaming ability and passing support ability, Odom has the ability to make three-pointers, break through and organize passes from outside, and Warcraft has solid offensive skills inside, which makes them three in offense and defense. Perfectly compatible on both ends.

Another thing is that Kobe is a point that the Warriors can't solve. His mid-range shot has reached the peak, his back-up and footwork are excellent, and he also has three-pointers and inside impact.More importantly, at this time, Kobe and "Zen Master" Phil Jackson have completely completed the running-in, and the two complement each other perfectly.

Many people say that Zen Master is the king of thighs. He has known the thighs of superstars in his career. There was Michael Jordan before and Kobe Bryant later. This statement is completely nonsense-before Zen Master became the coach, Jordan and Kobe Neither of them won the championship. It was not until Zen Master took over that the careers of these two legendary stars reached their peak. Hugging their thighs?Without Zen Master's triangle offensive concept, locker room coordination ability and on-the-spot command ability, Jordan and Kobe would not be so legendary, they just achieved each other.

And the most important thing is that after Curry was injured, the Warriors could find ways to limit the Lakers' "three highs", and they could also help defend against Kobe, but in this way, no one could keep up with Chu Xiao.

So in the first game, at the end of the first half, the Warriors still led the Lakers 62-53 by 9 points. In the second half, they faced Chu Xiao with 22 points in a single quarter and had to surrender.

At 10 minutes and 59 seconds of the third quarter, Chu Xiao held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left and swung Curry away, hitting a three-pointer, 56:62.

At 10 minutes and 30 seconds, Green and Barnes double-teamed the ball with the ball in the left corner, retreated and leaned back for two points, 58:62.

9分33秒，右侧45度接加索尔掩护干拔三分，61:64。

At 9 minutes and 11 seconds, he went online and received a screen breakthrough, assisting Kobe to copy the back door for a dunk, 63:64.

At 8 minutes and 32 seconds, a 45-degree angle around the screen on the left side attracted the double-team ball, and Kobe made a frontal three-pointer, 66:66.

At 3 minutes and 35 seconds, the breakthrough was interfered, the offensive rebound was grabbed and a tip-up was made, 78:70.

At 2 minutes and 43 seconds, he hit Curry with the ball on the line, dropped the ball and bent over to pick it up and made two points, 80:70.

At 2 minutes and 15 seconds, he caught the ball in front of the screen and stopped for a three-pointer, 83:72.

At 1 minute and 36 seconds, Thompson broke through the screen with the ball, and made a layup against Bogut, 85:72.

At 1 minute and 14 seconds, Green broke through Curry with the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Green made a high throw and hit the board, 87:72.

In 38 seconds, Curry hit the front-line singles, turned around and changed directions one step at a time, and made a shot two meters away from the three-point line, 90:72.

After that, the Warriors resorted to the Thompson + Barnes defensive line to take turns to stick to the mad dog.

This was originally a killer move prepared for Kobe, but he was forced to use it on a rookie point guard with an annual salary of more than 100 million.

Now that the Warriors' ultimate move was used on Chu Xiao, Kobe was liberated. He then began to show off in the fourth quarter, scoring 16 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers to a 129-110 victory over the Warriors.

No matter how famous the previous regular season was, only a real game in the playoffs can test the gold content of a star.That is to say, starting from this playoff game, Chu Xiao finally became a player defended by superstars. The defenders would start to step on the three-point line to lead him; The ball handler puts pressure.

Therefore, Chu Xiao had an extra nickname, "Chinese Sniper God", so he had to guard against it.

At the same time, Chu Xiao's great display of power also brought more attention to Curry and the Warriors in the 2012-2013 season.

Just ask, how many followers did Curry have in the 2012-13 season?How much attention?

Curry may still have some fame at the time, but "Dream Chaser" Green, Thompson and others, it is estimated that few people paid attention to them at that time, and even the Warriors this season did not have a "first brother".

But on May 2013, 5, in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals of the playoffs, when the Golden State Warriors played against the Lakers, Chu Xiao showed off his power, which gave many people a new understanding of the Warriors and Curry. It's the Lakers fans.

Because of the second game, Curry once again took a large dose of anti-inflammatory injections, and made eight of eight three-pointers, helping the Warriors win a strong away game.

In G3G4, the Lakers were a guest at the Golden State Warriors. Kobe took Chu Xiao and they taught the young Warriors a championship lesson. Kobe told Thompson that Ginger is still hot. Chu Xiao won again in front of the injured Curry. The battle of the sniper gods."

3-1取得领先后，库里再也不能通过消炎针止痛了，勇士队在第5场以91-100的比分输掉了系列赛。

Although the Warriors lost the series.

But from this time on, people feel that Curry and his group may not be able to hold back.

The next season, that is, on July 2013, 7, the Golden State Warriors reached a three-way deal with the Nuggets and the Jazz, sending a future second-round pick to get Andre Iguodala through a sign-and-trade .

With the arrival of "One Brother" Iguodala, Draymond Green was mentioned as a center forward. They will offer a "death five" lineup, and the Warriors really started to take off.
