lakers championship

Chapter 142

As Mark said, among the 30 teams in the league, the Warriors may not rank the highest in three-point shooting, but they must be the most fierce. The title of "Brave and Three Crazy" comes from 6% of their terrifying three-pointers.

In tonight's game, Cole advanced the time of 'Brave and Three Crazy'. Curry made a three-pointer, followed by Thompson, Durant, Green hit three-pointers one after another, and finally Curry made another one, five consecutive three-pointers, It directly stunned a group of young Lakers players.

But Wharton unexpectedly did not call a timeout. He stood on the sidelines with his arms akimbo, thinking in his heart: "Sudden blows are the best test of a person's ability to withstand them. They just let them practice their skills. They really can't wait until the next commercial is paused." Make adjustments, even if you lose it is a very valuable game."

On the court, the Lakers attacked and Calderon advanced with the ball.

As a veteran, he has a decent mental quality, and he parked the ball firmly at the top of the arc before handing it over to Tianyang.

Tianyang took the ball from the left wing and did not rush to attack. Instead, he retreated two or three steps beyond the three-point line. Iguodala thought he was going to shoot a super long 3-pointer, so he rushed forward.

But Tianyang dribbled the ball behind his back, and still walked slowly towards the top of the arc. Iguodala caught up, and he circled back. The two went back and forth, swaying between the top of the arc and the left wing.

He is not walking, nor is he waiting for his teammates to run tactics, but he is also a little stunned by the shock wave of the Warriors 16 to 2. Now he slows down the speed and presses the rhythm, just to slow down and let himself and his teammates clear their heads.

After waiting for the last 5 seconds, Iguodala backed away in a dispirited manner, and Tianyang raised his head to look at the ring.

At this time, Randall and Tariq are in the left and right low positions, Ingram is squatting at a 45-degree three-pointer on the right, Calderon is standing outside the top of the arc, and the entire left half is empty.

He bent down, crossed quickly and dribbled the ball to the short corner on the left. Iguodala twisted around to grab the ball continuously, but failed to pose a threat to him at all.He walked all the way to the short corner, made an emergency stop and took off to shoot.

Iguodala jumped up and reached out to block, but he had a backward movement in the air.

With a bang, the basketball went into the net hollow, exactly 24 seconds.

The fans at the scene applauded. It can be said that Tianyang's shooting completely followed his plan. Not to mention that it helped turn the situation around, but at least it meant that he was not completely in a state of confusion. This kind of psychological quality is especially rare. Fans don't have to worry about him In the future, the chain will be dropped at a critical moment.

Otherwise, like many players, at the last minute of the game, they lost the championship by making 2 of 1 free throws;

Tianyang's shot this time also awakened Ingram and Randall who were in a dizzy state.The three young Lakers teamed up and successfully restricted the Warriors from continuing to shoot three-pointers as they wanted, and they also made great achievements on the offensive end.

But after halftime, the Lakers were still 59 points behind the Warriors 73 to 14. The form was extremely severe. Coupled with the attribute of "brave and crazy", the probability of the last quarter of the game becoming garbage time was very high.

Perhaps considering these factors, some fans left the stadium one after another and left Staples early.

……

Halftime timeout, the Lakers locker room.

Walton held the data report in his hand, turned a few pages, and said with a smile: "In the first half, we played well offensively. Tianyang scored 22 points and 6 assists, and Ingram also had 16 points and 2 assists; defensively, Randall He and Tariq contributed 4 blocks. As long as we continue in the second half, we have a chance to catch up with the score. In addition, Mickey has something to talk to me, I have to go over, everyone can move freely."

After finishing speaking, Wharton put down the report, turned around and left the locker room, taking away the teaching assistants at the same time.

Ci Shiping immediately frowned, thinking: "How important is it that we have to talk about it when the team is headed against the wind? Mickey doesn't know the importance, does he? Wharton is also stupid, so can't we postpone it?"

Ci Shiping thought so, and the other Lakers players were also puzzled, with 'what to do' expressions on their faces.For a while, no one spoke in the locker room, and no one did other things, it was dead silent.

"Hey, hey, hey" Seeing that the situation is not good, Tianyang clapped his hands again and again, and when everyone looked over, he said slowly, "Don't be confused, everyone, the coach has just said, stick to the first half The way we played, we had a chance to tie the score and win the game."

After speaking, he was looking forward to the response of his teammates, but unfortunately no one spoke.

"What are you worried about? You can talk about whatever you have in mind," Tianyang said simply.

Strangely, there was still no response. After a long time, Ci Shiping patted the chair and shouted: "Speak up if you have any worries or thoughts, don't be coy like a woman."

Although the words of the big brother are a bit unpleasant, the young players of Ingram are more timid and dare not reply; Calderon, McGee, Marcelo and other new veterans do not want to cause trouble. For a while, the locker room fell into silence again.

Only Nick Yang, as an old acquaintance and veteran, directly retorted: "Then you should talk about it first!"

Ci Shiping was taken aback, touched his head with his hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, I don't understand the game anymore. I don't know how to help you other than cheering for you..."

I can't even understand the game, and I still pretend to be the worst!

When he said this, laughter burst out in the locker room, but they only laughed halfway, and then stopped.

Everyone realized that although Ci Shiping didn't play in the first five games of this season, he always wanted to win. He was not deterred by the Warriors' attack wave, and he was always thinking about how to help the Lakers come back.

Ingram seemed to have finally made up his mind. He got up and said, "Every time I retreat to the backcourt, I worry that I won't be able to defend Durant, because the Warriors have a lot of off-ball screens. Everyone runs a little bit faster, even on the fast break."

Everyone nodded. It is true that there is a lot of defense and offense. If you run a little faster, the result will be completely different. It is like multiplying 365 0.99 and multiplying 365 1.01. The difference is huge.

Randall also got up and said: "I hope everyone will have more physical contact and be tougher on defense. This is Staples, the home court of our Lakers!"

These words have elements of using the home whistle, but which team doesn't use it?
As soon as Randall finished speaking, Clarkson and Calderon got up at the same time.

"You speak first"

"No, you speak first"

After the two gave in to each other, Calderon said cautiously: "Tianyang, I hope you can share the ball more, except for Ingram's mid-range shot, Randall's low singles, Clarkson's breakthrough, and even The three-pointers by me and Nick Young are good offensive methods."

In the middle of Calderon's speech, he stopped to see Tianyang's reaction, and Tianyang smiled and signaled to continue.

"The Warriors' strong defense is based on the top single-defense capabilities of Green and Iguodala, combined with high-mobility rotations to make up for weak links. If you want to win them, you must pass as high-mobility as the Spurs. Or, like Irving, use the most powerful singles to kill them forcibly. At present, our best way is to pass the ball with high mobility. Of course, I am not saying that you are not strong in singles.”

After Calderon finished speaking, Clarkson said he had a similar opinion.

Tianyang thought for a while after listening, then nodded and said: "Then what do you think of this? Offensively, you created opportunities for me to single Curry, and I used breakthroughs to drive the team's rhythm; defensively, Ingram and Randall Proposal implementation, faster switching, more confrontation."

"Yes" "I agree" "Feels good" "Very good"

In the locker room, the Lakers players nodded in agreement and clapped excitedly together.

Only Ci Shiping sat on the chair and frowned without expressing his opinion. Nick Yang slapped him on the shoulder, "What are you doing? Come and clap, we will be back soon!"

Metta Shiping stood up, "You guys have decided on the tactics like this, what about Wharton? He is the head coach..."

Before the words fell, Walton, who had been squatting outside the locker room to observe secretly, led the coaching staff into the locker room, high-fived the Lakers players one by one, and finally said with a smile: "Your decision-making is the same as I thought. Go forward boldly. Go ahead, tell the warriors that the Purple and Gold Legion will never give up!"

　Paul George is going to the Lakers.
