Chapter 35 35. The game is anxious
In the first half of the game, the two sides came and went, and no one could completely widen the point difference.

The strengths of the two teams were about the same last season. Although the Lakers did not have Kobe this season, the same Lakers also made other reinforcements.

Judging from today's first half of the game, the actual gap between the two sides is still very small, otherwise it would not be only 1 point difference!

The halftime break ended soon, and the two sides changed sides to fight again!
The Lakers continued to maintain the starting lineup in the first half, and Baibian got another chance to play!

Although Whiteside's performance in the first half was not good, D'Antoni still gave him time to get used to it in the second half.

D'Antoni has always been like this, but any player he likes, no matter how well the player performs, no matter what the outside world says, he will continue to use his own opinion!

"Man, you have to defend the basket, you don't even have to score, but you have to do your best to defend!"

Before the start of the second half, Tang De repeatedly told Baibian!
In today's game, if the Lakers want to win, inside defense is very important!

You must know that in the first half of the game, the Warriors took advantage of the inside!
Amidst the cheers of the fans, the Lakers started their first offense in the second half!
Kobe, who was sitting on the sidelines, still looked at the situation on the court blankly!
Tang De dribbled forward, and since Green continued to be pressed on the bench by Mark Jackson, the person in charge of defending Tang De now became Barnes!
Compared with Green, Barnes' defense is a notch worse. Although Barnes is also a small forward with a perfect body and long arms, his defensive awareness on the court is much worse!

After halftime, Tang De first handed the ball to Gasol, and Gasol responded with the ball!
In this way, Gasol has more choices. Not only can he create opportunities for teammates under the basket, but he can also attract defenses and give opportunities for three-point shots from the outside!
Gasol played a similar role in the triangle tactics of the "Zen Master" before!
After Gasol held the ball, David Lee quickly defended up!
Gasol turned his back to David Lee, pretending to play low singles!

David Lee also tried his best to withstand Gasol, but since it was a feint, Gasol would naturally not attack the basket by himself!

In this way, Gasol directly attracted Iguodala's help defense in the low post!

Although Iguodala only took a step laterally and stretched out his hand symbolically.

But here in Gasol, he really seized the opportunity!

With excellent court vision, Gasol found Nick Young, who was briefly open due to Iguodala's lateral movement!
Gasol threw it casually, and Nick Young received the ball comfortably from the outside!

Nick Young received the ball, made some adjustments, and shot a three-pointer directly from the outside!
Three point hit!

At the beginning of the second half, Nick Young still maintained his excellent shooting touch in the first half!

This ball, Gasol's tactical status is fully reflected!
Although D'Antoni's coaching style has always been based on playing fast, it is undeniable that once the Lakers play positional battles, Gasol is the team's absolute supporting weapon!

It can be said that due to the presence of Gasol, the Lakers have a rich variety of offensive methods.

Warriors attack!

Curry continued to hold the ball. In the Warriors during the Mark Jackson era, the ball was basically in Curry's hands.

It wasn't until Cole took over the Warriors that Curry slowly handed over the ball to Green, and he devoted himself to scoring, and even Curry played off the ball!

This change can also be seen from Curry's average assists per game!

Curry holds the ball and continues to choose to break through Blake!
After a few rhythm changes, Curry easily passed Blake again. No way, Blake couldn't defend Curry at all!
At least this is the case in this game, as long as Curry chooses to break through, Blake will not be able to keep up with him!
Seeing that Blake was passed again, Tang De had no choice but to temporarily let go of Barnes, and rushed towards Curry at full speed!

Due to Tang De's sudden defense, Curry's offensive breakthrough rhythm was disrupted, and it was difficult for him to pass Tang De again!
Tang De's defense is top-notch, and Tang De's height is much taller than Curry. In desperation, Curry had to stop and hit the ground to pass the ball to Bogut under the basket!

As soon as he saw Bogut taking the ball, Baibian paid [-] points of attention!

He doesn't allow himself to make another mistake!
He can no longer live up to the coach's trust in him!

In the first half of the game, Bogut took advantage of Baibian's body, so Bogut was full of confidence as soon as he received the ball!
In Bogut's eyes, the Lakers center in front of him is just a rookie!

Bai Bian was firmly behind Bogut, with his hands raised high, trying to block Bogut's shot sight after turning around!
Maybe it's because Baibian really worked hard, or maybe it's because Bogut underestimated the enemy!
Bogut's shot under the basket was directly served by Baibian with a big hat, and Baibian slapped the basketball away!
After completing the cap, Baibian beat his chest and roared wildly!

I was aggrieved throughout the first half, and finally vented through this big hat!
Bogut shook his head dumbfounded. It seems that he still underestimated the Lakers center in front of him!
In the domestic live broadcast room...

Wang Meng: "What can I say about this level of blocking? I can only say that it is really a god!"

Yang Yi: "It's terrible. Whiteside's vertical jump height is almost terrifying. Given time, the Lakers are expected to rise inside!"

Weiping Bryant: "Congratulations to the Lakers, Kobe finally has another powerful inside helper. Since O'Neal left the Lakers, and last season Howard also left, I really thought it was impossible to be in the inside of the Lakers in a short time. I saw such a wonderful block on my body!!"

D'Antoni nodded in relief...

The serious Kobe finally smiled!
The applause and cheers of the fans are still stubbornly continuing until now!

"Well done bro, I told you a long time ago that you can do it, keep doing this, that guy is no match for you!"

Tang De touched the back of Baibian's head excitedly!

"Thank you Don! Thank you for your encouragement, I believe I can do it!"

Bai Bian also gave Tang De a high five excitedly!

Tang De has now completely switched to Curry, because Blake really can't defend Curry!
Curry is the starting point of the team's offense. Under Tang De's defense, the connection between Curry and his teammates has been greatly reduced!
The Warriors continued to attack, and Curry just took the ball to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to his teammates.

The other players of the Warriors also began to share the ball constantly!

On the defensive end, they gave up the defense and adopted a single defense strategy!
Because the Warriors' personal defensive abilities are excellent, they also played several wonderful defensive counterattacks in the third quarter!

In the case of all soldiers, the third quarter ended, and the Warriors led the Lakers by 5 points!
