Chapter 170 Very Ridiculous
Walton has served as an assistant coach in the Warriors for two years, and he knows the defensive skills of Green and Iguodala very well. When the two defend most seriously, they will frequently use small moves to irritate their defensive targets.

In the game, once the players get angry and lose control, the decisions they make often lose their reason.

For example, when Horry deliberately knocked Nash over, he lured Stoudemire and Diaw, who were sitting on the Suns bench, to come forward to argue. As a result, the NBA officially suspended the two, and the trend of the series completely changed.

The same is true for Green and Iguodala pushing people and pulling clothes. If Ingram and Tianyang lose control of their emotions, the Warriors will benefit a lot. , the effect lasts for a long time.

Therefore, Wharton has only one requirement for Ci Shiping, which is to resist the physical attacks of the Warriors.

Ci Shiping is like a meat shield in the game, responsible for drawing hatred and taking damage, and providing a good output environment for others.

Time came to the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, and the two teams entered an official timeout.

Walton replaced Clarkson, let Tianyang play point guard, and Ingram and Metta Shiping played double small forward.

After the timeout ended, the Lakers attacked first.

Seeing Ci Shiping on the stage, Colton squinted his eyes, as if trying to see through Wharton's intentions.

Tianyang received the bottom line pass from Nance Jr., and slowly brought it forward under Iguodala's aggressive eyes.

Just after the middle circle, Ci Siping rushed to his side and started a hand-to-hand fight with Iguodala.

Iguodala, who was used to bullying the young Lakers, couldn't accept it for a while, pushing and dragging desperately, trying to get rid of Ci Shiping's sturdy muscles as soon as possible.

Tianyang took the opportunity to get rid of the defense, rushed to the left 45 degrees at a large speed, and directly hit Klay Thompson with his back.

Shaking continuously from left to right, Clay's footsteps were all chaotic, and he immediately turned back and broke through to the basket.

Durant and Green stepped forward to double-team on time, and he hit the ground to score the ball.

Randall took the ball from the low position on the left side, slapped it heavily on the ground, stepped straight to the basket, and dunked heavily with both hands.

Two points were recorded, and the Lakers fell behind 13 to 23.

The Warriors attacked, Cole stopped Curry who was dribbling, gestured to him a few gestures, and then turned to look at Walton with a smile.

Wharton also laughed. He could understand Cole's hand gestures, which meant that the whole team should walk with Ci Shiping to fight.

Cole reacts as quickly as a plot design in a novel, and this alone is enough to call himself a master tactician.

Wharton also understood that Cole knew he could understand, and deliberately showed him, just to provoke!

The thinking time was over in an instant, and Curry had already dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

Thompson stepped forward to pick and roll, Curry got rid of Tianyang, walked Ci Shiping to the right wing.

If it's really a walk, Ci Shiping's horizontal movement speed is 'zero', and Curry can control the speed freely, and he can do whatever he wants.

Walking to the right wing, Curry made a quick shot for a 3-pointer, the basketball went into the net, and the Warriors led 26-13.

The Lakers attacked, Tianyang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and with the help of Ci Shiping's cover, broke through the inside again.

This time, only Green defended alone, but Tianyang still hit the ground and passed the ball.

Randall took the ball in the low post on the left, faced Durant's defense, and chose to play with his back.

Durant is tall enough, but his strength is too far behind. After carrying it a few times, he backed away "tactfully", and then made a steal sideways, trying to save a little face.

During this period of time, Randall learned from the team and Tianyang, and his speed was like a rocket. He had already evolved from a rough brother to a technical representative. As soon as Durant withdrew, he turned forward and leaned back almost at the same time.

The jump shot is shot and hit, and the whole action is done in one go, which is pleasing to the eye.

Wharton nodded in satisfaction. He knew that Tianyang was very accurate in calling Randall an inside killer during training that day. It can be said that he was more accurate than him. No wonder Kerr wanted Tianyang to become the Warriors' player development coach.

The Warriors attacked again, and Curry and Thompson made a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. After attracting Metta Shiping's defense, they hit a 3-pointer again.

After the two teams played another round, the first quarter ended and the Lakers fell behind 18-31.

The point difference is getting bigger and bigger, but the atmosphere of the Lakers bench seems to have won.

Nick Young has been imitating Randall's turning and leaning back; Tianyang whispered to Clarkson, which sounded like they were exchanging passing skills; Nance Jr. made continuous gestures, sharing the secrets of defense and eating cakes with Zubac.

It wasn't until half of the timeout was consumed that Walton summoned the Lakers players to speak.

He first expressed self-blame, saying that he was not well prepared for the game, and he never expected that the Warriors would be so desperate. He was playing in the playoffs completely, so that he failed to make corresponding adjustments.

In addition, he also bluntly said that the effect of dispatching Metta Shiping was mediocre. Although he successfully created a breakthrough and shooting environment for Tianyang, but because of his poor lateral speed, Curry and Clay chased him.

It can be said that it is worse than Qishangquan, which hurts the enemy eight hundred and self-damages one thousand.

But we must persevere, betting that the Warriors Splash Brothers and Durant hit the first line down.

That once thought, after the start of the second quarter, Tianyang had just led the team to chase 4 points, and Cole decisively called a timeout, allowing the main Warriors who had only rested for 3 minutes to play again.

Cole seems determined to abuse the Lakers with blood, which is like a shame before the snow.

Throughout the second quarter of the game, the Warriors played more and more fiercely. In addition to their super high offensive skills, they also had a desperately strong defense, which caused Ci Shiping to clash with Iguodala and Green one after another, and got a technical foul and ended the game.

The shooting percentage of the three main players of the Warriors remains high, and Curry also scored the eighth three-pointer, which is close to breaking the record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game in the NBA.

After halftime, the Lakers trailed 42-66.

Back in the locker room, Walton made a new strategic plan:
In the third quarter, the whole team created opportunities for Tianyang and attacked with all their strength. If the point difference can be reduced to less than 10 points, they will continue to play in the fourth quarter. If the point difference still exceeds 20 points, they will try their best to help Randall in the fourth quarter. Practice shooting.

Such an arrangement, due to helplessness, must admit the all-round gap with the Warriors.

What's more, the Warriors showed the strongest combat effectiveness, and the Lakers were not well prepared at the beginning. It is normal to lose the game.

After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors really continued to give full play.

Tianyang scored 18 points in a single quarter, but the Warriors scored 26 points.

With other players scoring, the Lakers finished three quarters and fell behind 74-92.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors still played with the full starting lineup, and the Lakers gave up strategically.

Tianyang once again switched to off-ball play, and the team created shooting and singles opportunities for Randall.

最终，湖人以96比122惨败于勇士，天洋拿到32分13次助攻的大号两双数据，兰德尔投篮也从对阵雷霆的18投5中，增长为24投12中。

At the post-match press conference,

The reporter asked Tianyang why he kept passing the ball in the fourth quarter, did he voluntarily give up hope of winning? .

He replied: "The regular season is a long process. There is no need to worry about winning or losing a game. Against the Warriors, we have more gains. We look forward to fighting the Warriors in Los Angeles the day after tomorrow."

The reporter relayed Tianyang's words to Drummond Green.

Green said what Tianyang said was ridiculous. How could the loser have the right to be concerned about winning or losing the game?
Even if Los Angeles fights again, as long as the Warriors are willing, they will still kill the Lakers by a big score!
