Chapter 341
It is not unacceptable to lose to the Kings in the first game of the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, and it is an away game. At least Verus and Lenny don't think the end of the world is coming.

It’s just that the data of most players of the Warriors is a bit miserable. Power forward Jermaine O’Neal, who has high hopes, made 24 of 8 shots and scored the Warriors’ team-high 23 points, 14 rebounds and 1 assist. It seems that the data is not bad. Said to be the best player in the Warriors.

Weber, who was facing him, was a little uncomfortable being defended by Jermaine O'Neal. He made 19 of 8 shots, scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist. Jermaine O'Neal managed to explode and defend each other with Weber, and he prevented Weber from making many threats. ball.

Grant Hill's performance is also remarkable, 19 of 8 shots, 21 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, but McGrady was completely lost in Sacramento, only got 4 points and 3 rebounds, which has to be said to be hard to accept After all, McGrady is currently the Warriors' number one scorer, and can even be said to be the Warriors' number one star. With such a poor performance, it is strange that the Warriors do not lose.

Dayao felt a little suffocated in front of Divac's various performances. He made 7 of 1 shots, 3 points and 6 rebounds. Although he contributed 5 blocks, Yao Ming, who had [-] fouls, was a little depressed by Divac.

Verus didn't care about this. He watched an exclusive interview with Divac when he visited China many years later. Divac himself admitted that he had an advantage in playing Yao Ming in the first NBA season, and he was better than ever after that. Years of hard work, and even being tortured and beaten by the mature Yao Ming.

A team like the Kings lacks background and cohesion. Not to mention the next few seasons, Webber and Peja will compete for the position of team leader. After the game, it seemed to be weak in succession.

The second game is the King's home game. Verus has watched too many King's games in his previous life. He knows that playing against the King has three tricks. Don't let Webb and Peja go crazy. These two players are too explosive, and the whole game has to be held down. , and then don’t fight with Divac, just pretend he doesn’t exist. Although Shane Battier and Bowen have good acting skills, they are Oscar winners, so they can’t be too rough in front of Divac.

The last thing is to let Mike Bibby score and attack. Once the Kings enter the rhythm of only Bibby scoring, then basically they are not far away from the Kings losing. This is what Verus concluded after watching King Princeton for n years. It may not be effective, but it is almost inseparable. The king is so evil, and it cannot be judged by common sense.

The same lineup, the Kings are the same as the Mavericks. They are similar to most of the current NBA teams. They basically have a seven-man rotation, with a maximum of nine players. The other players' drinking fountains are guarded until death, and the head coach will not remember them. name.

Lenny did not change teams because of the loss. The Warriors need to go through too many ups and downs. If they lose their positions every time they encounter difficulties, the Warriors will not go far in the playoffs. It's not strong enough to force the Warriors to take the initiative to change blood.

The same recipe, but a completely different taste. In the second game, the king felt a little confused. Peja Stojakovic played a full 44 minutes, which is rare, but his persistence, in exchange for But it was 19 of 5 shots, 14 points and 12 rebounds. It doesn't look bad, but the 26.3% shooting rate is ugly. You must know that this is the playoffs, and every point is a terrible rhythm.

Kings current number one star Webber's performance is not satisfactory, 23 of 10 shots, scored 22 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, which is very good for other players, but for the Kings, for Webber, this Not enough points to help the Kings win.

Mike Bibby can be said to be the best player of the Kings. He made 20 of 8 shots and scored 39 points, 22 rebounds and 2 assists in 7 minutes. He also had an assist and a steal. The ratio broke out, and the Kings were basically about to lose.

For the Kings to win, Bibby's performance is a prerequisite. In addition, Webber must also play well, and then there must be a third scoring point. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Kings to win. After all, their defense is far inferior to that of the Lakers and Spurs. The fence was so strong that the king had to compete with whoever had the higher score in order to win the final victory.

Yao's name broke out in the Warriors. No one expected that Yao, in the first season, would suddenly put up gorgeous statistics at such a critical moment in the playoffs. Although he only played for more than 20 minutes, Da Yao Yao made 10 of 7 shots and scored 14 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks.

The deterrent power of the center is definitely not in scoring and rebounding. The damage and psychological shadow caused by five super hot pots to the opponent is definitely much more effective than scoring five goals by himself.

Chauncey Billups, who was highly expected by Lenny and Verus, made 18 of 12 shots and scored a game-high 30 points and 8 assists to lead the Warriors. Defeating the Kings, plus O'Neal's 22 points and 15 rebounds, the Kings did not expect that they defended the Warriors twin stars McGrady and Hill for the second consecutive game, but were defeated by three other Warriors starters.

The Warriors' McGrady and Hill were really uncomfortable being guarded by the Kings in the first game, but in the second game, Lenny let McGrady and Hill feint to attract the Kings' double-team and attention. In fact, the main attack direction has long been changed. Became other players, the Chinese Art of War said, the false is the real, the real is the false, between the false and the real, the king found himself losing the game 110:102.

Although the Golden State Warriors got off to a good start with 1 win and 1 loss in away games, Verus and Lenny are not at all complacent. The Kings are strong at home and equally strong away. Their away record is often one of the strongest in the entire league. .

The Mavericks in history also lost a game at the home court of the Kings and then won a game, and then returned to Dallas. They were beaten by the Kings and lost three games in a row. The King went to a tiebreaker with the Lakers.

After all, the best performing team in the NBA this season is definitely the Kings in the regular season, and the Lakers in the playoffs. Once the OK combination is serious, the peak O'Neal and the rising Kobe, it is really difficult to set an upper limit for them .

Shark O'Neal was interviewed many years later, and once said that the OK combination is the strongest combination in the entire history of the NBA, not one of them.

Verus fully agrees with this. One inside and one outside, a Kobe second only to God, plus the invincible peak O'Neal at the basket, looking back and forth 100 years, it is difficult to find a stronger combination than them .
