Chapter 1091 The Real Los Angeles Derby
After weighing repeatedly, Lakers coach Vogel finally chose to flank Xie Kai.Because even thick eyebrows can't limit him alone, let alone other people.He felt that instead of letting Xie Kai kill him alone, it would be better to gamble on the outside shooting of people like Morris Jr., Beverly, and Patterson.He didn't believe that these people could really be that stable, and these people weren't shooters like Kowal Klein.

The Lakers actually flanked another super No. 2 Harden in the semifinals, and the effect was not bad, but it was based on shorting Westbrook, and because the opponent's lineup was too small, it was also a gamble.If Westbrook scores 3 points, pinching Harden may not be a good choice.

And Xie Kai is different from Harden. Harden is also good in singles, with a 3-point step back and a unique performance in Pengci, but he has two big shortcomings.One is that before singles, you need to have a forward movement, dribble the ball under the crotch, move the opponent's center of gravity back and forth, or retreat or break through. In this way, once he suddenly pinches when he is dribbling, it is easy to destroy his rhythm. , If the ball is out, a lot of offensive time is wasted, and then it is handed over to other players to handle the ball. If the opponent's small lineup rotates quickly, it will be able to make up for it in time.The second is that if there is no ball in hand, Harden will appear very lazy. He doesn't like to move without the ball, just stand there, doesn't like to go to the bottom corner, and doesn't like to screen for teammates without the ball.In fact, his CS (catch and shoot) shooting rate is not bad, but he just doesn't like to move. I don't know if it has anything to do with his big butt.

But Xie Kai's attack doesn't need these fancy forward moves. He can directly speed up with a change of direction from the lower back, and go straight in, or he can make a sudden stop after shaking to kill the opponent.On the off-ball side, he can do screens, move around to mobilize the defense, or go to the corner to open up space.His two corner 3-pointers are more than 5% this season, which is quite terrifying.

Xie Kai is almost the most perfect ball-handling core and the best team leader in the league today.

The Lakers bet on the outside shots of Morris Jr. and others. When the team led the score, these players relaxed their minds and had a high degree of confidence in open shots, which quickly opened up the score.

In the end, the Clippers made another victory. The series has already led 3:1, and one foot has entered the finals.

After the game, many outsiders who support the Lakers have also admitted that there is still a gap between the two teams, and the Clippers have a higher probability of advancing.

The Lakers have no room for adjustment. Letting thick eyebrows hit 5 is their strongest move against outside teams.

In G5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers made another change!This time, they came up with a more extreme lineup, pushed James to the 4th position, removed Morris, who was a little slow, and let Caruso start!

Obviously, Caruso started to defend Xie Kai.

"Los Angeles Xiaoka" is very inspirational. He is 196cm tall and very young, but he has already bald early.As a guard, he is very active and defends very hard. He is the hardest and hardest player on the perimeter defense of the Lakers.

Of course, Vogel's team doesn't expect Caruso to restrict Xie Kai by himself. The purpose of letting him play is to speed up the rotation after flanking Xie Kai, so as to avoid being shot to death by the opponent's arrows like the previous game.

The Clippers have not changed, and their "5Out lineup" is extremely efficient on the offensive end, and can now be ranked in the NBA playoffs offensive efficiency list.

At the beginning of the game, everyone's style of play was the same as before.There are no secrets between each other, the competition is the performance of superstars and the hit rate of role players.

Caruso is like a catfish. After he got on, as the team's outside main defense player Xie Kai, he performed better than the two brothers before.On the offensive end, his off-ball moves and off-ball screens all help his teammates.

The Clippers were a little relaxed and made more offensive mistakes. On the contrary, the Lakers played very aggressively and had the determination to win.

The gap between the two teams is not that big, and once they come and go, the advantage is on the side of the Lakers.

In the end, the Lakers narrowly beat the Clippers and pulled back a victory. The total score of the series became 3:2.

After the game, the locker room of the Clippers was very quiet. Everyone was afraid to speak, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

Xie Kai knew what he needed to say. Many people on this team had no finals experience, and some even had no experience in divisional finals. As a veteran, he needed to let the big guys get their morale back.

Xie Kai clapped his hands vigorously in the locker room, and then said to his teammates: "Brothers, cheer up! We are leading 3:2, and we are the team that is closer to the finals! Maybe everyone is under pressure, afraid It was reversed by the opponent, but if you think so, it is in their hands. They want us to worry about gains and losses, and they want us to want to win and be afraid of losing. We still have two chances for match points, and the advantage is still in our hands. Don't think about it What will happen if you lose, don’t think about anything, if you lose, it’s my responsibility, if you get the chance, just take action, and it’s over!”

What Xie Kai said made the other players in the Clippers locker room excited. The unwillingness and frustration of losing the game just now disappeared. Obviously we are the most likely to advance to the finals. How does it feel like us 2: 3 behind?
Xie Kai is very satisfied with the effect of his encouragement. He knows very well that a basketball game is not one-on-one, or even 5-on-5. There will be no less than 7 players on each team.This is a team sport, no matter how strong you are, it is impossible to defeat the mighty Lakers and advance to the Finals by yourself.

In G6 of the Western Conference finals, neither side changed.Both sides are very clear that this game is almost a decisive battle.If the Lakers win, their morale will go to their side, and anything can happen in the tiebreaker.James knows this best.

For the Clippers, their biggest psychological advantage now is not the score lead, but that they have Xie Kai.Xie Kai has never been reversed after leading 3:1 in the series, never.The last time he was reversed in the playoffs was in 2011, when his Grizzlies were reversed by the Mavericks after leading 2:0 in the Western Conference Finals.After that, he worked hard on his back and strength, and became an almost invincible God K.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides almost fought hand-to-hand, and the confrontation was very fierce.The offensive efficiency of both sides is not high, and there are many fouls and turnovers.

The Clippers' outside shots are still inaccurate, but the players are very determined to shoot, not as hesitant as in the previous game.Obviously, everyone has broken through the psychological barrier, and they just want to win the game.

This is the true look of the Los Angeles Derby that everyone has been looking forward to this season, the real decisive battle!
