All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Obviously!

How can you not beat Brother Feng with one punch after another?

You are clearly using a sledgehammer to hit your brother Feng’s chest without a big stone, do you know?

Staples Center.

Seeing Yao Ming giving and asking for help inside the Lakers in the third quarter, Su Feng felt both pain and happiness at this moment.

The reason for his pain is because, on this night, the balance of victory has gradually begun to tilt towards the Warriors.

The reason for happiness is that in the previous life, as a Yao Mi who witnessed Yao Ming being defeated by injuries, now, looking at the 33-year-old Yao who is still galloping in the NBA, Su Feng feels for him from the bottom of his heart. feel happy.

Of course, since the stadium is the battlefield...

That doesn't matter how good the personal relationship between Su Feng and Yao Ming is.

now.....

Killing each other is their only thought.

In the third quarter of the game, the pressure the Warriors attacked around Yao Ming brought to the Lakers was not just Yao Ming's individual singles.

If we say that in a basketball game, the performance of a team is rated in the form of points...

There is no doubt that both the Lakers and Warriors can score 100 points.

However, under the guidance of Van Gundy and Lu, after finding the most accurate way to open this Warriors...

Suppose the Lakers can score 100 points in two quarters and 90 points or close to 90 points in the other two quarters...

Under normal circumstances, this Warriors is the only team in history that can do this...

A team that can score 100 points in four quarters.

Exaggeration?

It's quite an exaggeration.

But at this moment, as the physical fitness of the Lakers players on the court began to decline, after Yao Ming used his inside attack to further drive the Warriors' outside attack...

Staples Center...

In this G2 game of the Western Conference Finals, it was the Lakers' fans' turn to turn on the self-isolation mode.

Against this Warriors, no team can defend a zone, and no team dares to defend a zone.

However, as the gaps in the Lakers' defense become wider and wider...

One night, even if Su Feng and Kobe teamed up to score 28 points in the third quarter, they could not stop it. The point difference between the Lakers and the Warriors was further widened.

On the court, after three quarters, it was 98 to 88.

NBA convention.

The visiting Warriors are in front.

The home team Lakers are behind.

In the final quarter of the game, Yao Ming did not rest for the Warriors.

And even though, in the hand-to-hand combat in the third quarter, Xiao Yao, who was resisted by Xiao Jia desperately, lost a lot of physical energy...

But similar to the G1 victors, the Lakers, after Yao grabbed some rest time for James, Curry and others...

At this moment...

Just like that time!

Beep——!

On the court, until the timer reached zero in the final quarter, the Lakers did not fill the big hole that they were blown up by the Warriors using mushroom eggs in the third quarter.

In the end, 128 to 118.

The Warriors, while defeating Staples and tying the series at 1-1...

In this way, the Lakers' home court advantage in this round of the Western Conference Finals was successfully eliminated.

In the whole game, James and Yao Ming scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 29 points and 9 rebounds respectively for the Warriors.

In addition, Clay, Ray Allen, and Terry also scored 14 points, 11 points, and 12 points respectively.

Stephen Curry, who hit a three-pointer at the buzzer for the Warriors in the first half, continued his "excellent" performance at Staples. He made 2 of 9 shots in the game, including free throws, and scored a total of 9 points. 3 rebounds, 4 assists.

However......

After the game, when the Kuaishou madly complained about Curry as a "big competition soft shrimp", they didn't know that for the Lakers, Curry, who had not performed well in the first two games, was the real "ghost". story".

Because from a team level, after the first two games, this Lakers have reached their limit.

And what about the Warriors?

Excuse me.

This Warriors team is far from reaching their upper limit.

After the G2 game, I looked at Su Feng, who scored 39 points for the Lakers, and Kobe, who scored 30 points for the Lakers, sitting side by side...

For a time, even Billups, known as the "big heart", fell silent, not knowing how to revive the team's morale.

From the results.

The Lakers only lost by 10 points in this game.

But from a process perspective.

This is what this Lakers team has experienced since its formation...

The most desperate game.

In the corner of the locker room, Walton said after a long sigh, "It seems that the only thing I can do is pray that Su can turn on his 'god to earth' switch in all the next games."

After hearing this, after patting Wharton on the shoulder, Director Lu said: "It's useless, Luke.

It is true that Su has the ability to score 50 or 60 points in each game in this series.

But that didn't change the outcome of this series at all. "

Looking at Director Lu’s meaningful eyes, a few seconds later...

Waugh had an epiphany.

Because in a basketball game, no matter how strong an individual is, his or her performance will be constrained by game time and physical fitness.

So even if Su Feng can turn on the switch of "The World Comes to Earth"...

As long as the Warriors can continue to play efficient teamwork...

Then the Lakers also have a high probability of losing this scoring battle with the Warriors.

basketball.

After all, it is a sport for five people.

Before moving to Oakland, the Lakers will have a full day to think about their countermeasures. Then, they will fly to Oakland. After a day of rest on the 24th, they will face the Warriors in the third place of the Western Conference Finals on the 25th. war.

After the G2 game, experts who are good at repeated horizontal jumps have transferred to the "Fifty Years of Brave Honey Camp".

What's interesting is that the group of people who criticized Director Lu the most before also launched the most violent bombardment against Director Lu after the G2 war.

"There is an insurmountable gap between the Lakers and the Warriors. This is the end of the Lakers this year!"

"It's not that I dislike the Lakers, but after losing their home court advantage, I doubt they can survive five games in this round of the Western Conference Finals."

"The 'God of Basketball' can't save this Lakers, because the Warriors are far more powerful than everyone knows about the sport of basketball!"

The next day, the morning of the 23rd, I looked at Su Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged in the middle of the field since he came to the training hall with me...

Kobe, who had never seen such a taciturn Su Feng, couldn't help it, "You are our leader!

Isn't it just that I lost a game? As for being autistic until now? "

Hearing this, after looking up at Kobe as if he was looking at a psycho, Su Feng said with a confused look on his face: "Who told you that I am autistic?"

Kobe sat next to Su Feng and said, "I know that because of face, there are some things you can only say to me.

But Su, I hope you can cheer up later when everyone comes. "

After saying this, Kobe took advantage of the situation and leaned his shoulder towards Su Feng.

That look and behavior were just like the hero in an idol drama who lends his shoulder to the heroine to cry for a while.

Unfortunately......

Not only did Su Feng not thank Kobe for his kindness, but he also glared at Kobe fiercely.

And then, after letting out a long sigh, Su Feng said slightly melancholy: "Am I the only one who thinks now...

Do we still have the initiative in this series? "

Kobe: "..."

All right!

It does not look like Su Feng is autistic.

So, after a pause, Kobe said to Su Feng: "Since you think we still have the initiative, why have you been sitting here without saying anything?"

Su Feng was puzzled and said, "Aren't I thinking of a countermeasure?"

Kobe said "Oh" and said, "Have you come up with any countermeasures?"

Su Feng gave Kobe a weak look and said, "I have an idea."

Kobe was overjoyed and said to Su Feng: "Tell me about it!"

Su Feng pondered for two seconds and said: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with the soil."

Kobe: "..."

no!

What kind of countermeasures do you think you have?

Looking at Su Feng, Kobe, who was so angry, always felt that Su Feng had begun to "give up on himself."

However, as Su Feng revealed to Kobe bit by bit why this warrior is so powerful...

Kobe began to seriously think about every word Su Feng said.

In the G2 game, after the Warriors split and reorganized their lineup, the Warriors, who were so rich that even Durant wanted to pitch for free, were able to field a luxurious lineup in every quarter. Go to war.

Moreover, taking advantage of the importance of Xiaojia to this Lakers, they further expanded Xiaoyao's advantages in facing Xiaojia in overtime.

“It’s really hard on Mark.

If he can play at full strength, even if he can't guard Yao, he won't be beaten so embarrassingly in the game. "Besides, while listening to Su Feng's analysis, Kobe expressed his opinions from time to time.

In the G2 game, Walton once suggested to Lu that he use DeAndre Jordan and Whiteside to lead the first half, and the Lakers would send Garrett to play in the second half.

But Director Lu rejected this proposal without even thinking about it.

Why?

Is it because DeAndre Jordan and Whiteside are embarrassing themselves?

No.

Just because, in essence, this series between the Lakers and the Warriors is a game of who has the higher offensive efficiency.

True.

The Lakers have been able to go all the way to this point, and the enthusiasm and energy brought by Jordan and Whiteside when they came off the bench are indispensable.

But once Xiaojia is lost...

So when the Lakers send DeAndre Jordan and Whiteside to play, who should the Lakers stand at a high position to instigate the attack?

On the offensive end, in this quality series, the contributions of Jordan and Whiteside are almost zero.

This will not only greatly increase the shot load of Su Feng and Kobe on the court, but will also make the Lakers' game more difficult.

In fact, to put it bluntly...

Or it's because the Lakers' family background is not as rich as the Warriors'.

Unlike Van Gundy, who can use Curry, Yao Ming, James... or even Clay to take turns as the Warriors' offensive core.

Because currently in the Lakers, the roles of Su Feng and Kobe are irreplaceable.

Therefore, Coach Lu has always been clear that only by allowing the Lower Merion duo to play happily can the Lakers have the last laugh in this series.

So......

What if Jordan and Whiteside were used to challenge Yao in the second half of the game?

Unfortunately, in the G2 game, Director Lu made such an attempt.

Only after O'Neal retired.

No matter what kind of "Warcraft", "Happy Beast" or Howard you are...

In today's league, there is one and only Xiaojia who has the tonnage and strength to compete with Xiaoyao.

Therefore, the formation changes that Van Gundy stole from Coach Lu are still a conspiracy in a sense.

If Yao Ming goes up, then Xiaojia must go up.

Otherwise, the Lakers' inside line will be doomed to be ripped apart by this little giant.

"Obviously, what kind of amazing teammates have you met in this life!" Looking at the ceiling of the Wohu training hall in the distance, Su Feng always felt that Xiao Yao was the destined son of this time and space.

Because if it weren't for the Warriors' group of outside players who are more ruthless than the other...

The worst thing the Lakers can do is double-team Yao Ming without any thought.

But just the accuracy of this warrior...

Who dares to let go of Curry, Klay, Terry, and Ray Allen, the four top shooters who are famous in the three-point field?

“We have to give Mark enough physical strength to fight against Yao.

In the G1 game, even though Yao's scoring was still efficient even though his playing time was about the same...

But compared to 11 of 14 shots in the G2 game, when Mark was physically fit, he could still collect a certain cost of tolls when Yao beat him in isolation. "Looking at Kobe, Su Feng said firmly.

"What do we do?" Kobe asked.

“Whenever Yao plays, we let Mark play.

Whenever Yao plays, we will let Mark play! "Su Feng said after squinting his eyes.

"But, didn't you just say that in our system, we can't use Mark like the Warriors used Yao?" Kobe asked.

Su Feng shook his head and said: "I said that before to tell you why we can't make changes like the warriors."

Kobe seemed to understand: "You mean, if we can figure out a way to not reduce the offensive efficiency when Mark is not on the court, then we can use Mark like the Warriors use Yao?"

Su Feng nodded, "And now I have found that method."

At this moment, looking at Su Feng who suddenly stood up, Kobe figured everything out in an instant.

"Do you know how crazy this is?" Kobe, who felt his chest starting to rise and fall, said to Su Feng.

"Not crazy, not live.

Only by being crazy can we defeat this crazy warrior. "Su Feng responded to Kobe with a solemn expression.

Kobe, who originally wanted to persuade Su Feng, gave up the idea after noticing the extremely determined look on Su Feng's face.

"We also need a player who can form a triangle with us when playing a triangle offense." Kobe reminded Su Feng.

"Sean.

He is more than qualified for this role. "Su Feng said to Kobe.

"You know how I feel?" Kobe smiled.

"How does it feel?" Su Feng asked.

"I feel that compared with the Warriors, if they are rich people who can buy whatever they want, then we seem to be like poor people who have to plan every time we buy a piece of cheese." Kobe complained.

"It's a pretty vivid metaphor, but there is an old saying in my hometown...

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. " Turning to look at Kobe, Su Feng said jokingly.

…

In the face of the Warriors who moved out of their homes to attack people in the G2 game, after thinking of various ways for the Lakers, those diehard fans who still firmly supported the Lakers almost instantly started autistic mode.

On TNT TV, Barkley said with a broken face: "We all know that the Lakers have to make changes to have a chance, but to be honest, I really don't know how they can change."

After the first two games, the cards held by the Lakers and Warriors have long been revealed.

And as Buckley said...

In the past two days, what crushed the inner defenses of Lakers fans was that everyone didn't know how this Lakers could regain the upper hand in this series.

On the evening of the 25th, as the live broadcast on the TV cut to the Oracle Arena, I watched Stephen Curry hit three-pointers one after another during the warm-up during the golden wave...

For a time, Lakers supporters even noticed something was wrong.

“I have no concerns about Steph’s touch.

Basketball being what it is, Steph may miss some shots in some games.

But I believe he will definitely get his shooting feeling back.

Because he is such a good player. " Van Gundy said this during an interview with the host on the sidelines before the game.

As the first matchup between the Lakers and the Warriors in this round of the Western Conference Finals moves to Oakland, in order to cheer up the Warriors, players from the San Francisco 49ers also appeared on the sidelines tonight.

In 1975, under the leadership of Warriors legend Rick Barry, the Warriors moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco and then from San Francisco to Oakland and successfully won the NBA championship trophy in the 1974/1975 season.

However, what Warriors supporters in the Bay Area didn't expect was...

In the long period of time that follows, the Warriors will gradually become a team that is bullied by everyone.

In Su Feng's previous life, it was not until 40 years later that the Golden State Warriors won the championship trophy after 40 years.

And in this life, even though Nash had set off a golden whirlwind in Oakland a few years ago...

But in the NBA, a world of winners and losers...

Before winning the championship, just as Sloan said when he laughed at himself some time ago...

The loser is destined to bow his head in front of the final winner.

So when in Los Angeles, the Warriors proved they had what it takes to topple the Lakers...

At this moment, they are the unparalleled heroes in the eyes of Bay Area fans!

"This is outrageous, except for the passionate home atmosphere I experienced when I was commentating on that dark battle...

This is definitely the most devilish home stadium I have ever been to in my life! "In the CCTV live commentary box, before cutting to the live broadcast screen, feeling the noise that had already exceeded 140 decibels, Su Junyang couldn't help but said to Yu Jia beside him.

no doubt.

For any visiting team.

The Warriors' home court tonight is an unmitigated hell on earth.

However, such a lively stadium...

But before the game started tonight, it suddenly became quiet.

The always-smart live broadcast footage also focused on Yao Ming sitting on the Warriors bench, and on the Lakers bench...

Marc Gasol.

The former was looking up at the big screen, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.

The latter silently unscrewed the cap of the thermos cup and took a sip as if nothing had happened.

What made Oakland's Oracle Arena turn into a library before the game even started?

What was it that made the commentators from China and the United States scream crazy before the game started?

In the center of the court, the five starting players accompanying the Lakers tonight were lined up.

At this moment, even Jeff Van Gundy, known as the "new mad scientist", couldn't help but start picking his head.

Su Feng, Livingston, Green, Kobe, Rondo.

Although this is not the first time Su Feng has played the center position in an NBA game.

But looking at the Lakers starting lineup tonight...

The fans at the scene and in front of the TV couldn't help but ask:

this......

Is this the Lakers' formation change?

"Hey! What the Lakers mean today is that as long as Yao Ming doesn't play, then I can't play with Xiaojia?" Su Junyang, who imitated Zhang's coaching tone, explained on CCTV.

“But without Kawhi, Coach Lu still surprised us tonight.

Because he actually pushed Su Feng directly to the fifth position! "Besides, Yu Jia exclaimed.

"Are they arranging this so that Su can take over as the starting point of the triangle offense when Mark is sitting off the court?" On the Warriors' bench, the Warriors assistant coach looked at Van Gundy and asked.

Hearing this, Van Gundy shook his head.

Because the "bald coach" who has been with the Lakers knows very well that the reason why this Lakers like to use the triangle offense tactic in games is just because the triangle offense is more suitable for them.

In past games, singles, Princeton...basically all the tactics you can call famous in the NBA have been used by the Lakers in games.

Therefore, if it is just to play the triangle offense, then Garfield is far from being able to do without him for this Lakers.

"As the level of the game increases, Mark's role on the court will often become more and more irreplaceable." Looking back at his assistant, Van Gundy did not directly answer the question he just posed to himself.

On the sidelines, after taking out the tactical board and fidgeting with the magnet, Van Gundy pointed to the magnet that symbolized Kevin Garfield and said: "As a player who plays with his brain, on the defensive end, Mark can not only defend this league on his own. Most of the centers.

Moreover, when the Lakers adopt high-pressure defense against opponents from the outside, he is also a mobile fortress trusted by the Lakers outside players. "

“However, Mark’s role on the defensive end is not irreplaceable.

Because against some more athletic opponents, DeAndre might be better than him at times. "

After a pause, Van Gundy then fiddled with the magnet and said: "Look, now the Lakers are preparing to attack, and Mark is standing in this position..."

“In modern basketball games, according to the offensive space theory proposed by John Davis, the key to whether your outside scorer can efficiently score points on the court is whether you can provide a broad offensive space for the attacker.

But for NBA players, because the court is too small, the inside evacuation theory also came into being. "

Looking at Van Gundy, and after nodding, the Warriors assistant coach said: "Use the outside range of our center and the defensive three-second rule to pull the opponent's inside players out of the penalty area, so that our players can gain more strategic depth."

"That's right.

That's why big players with shooting ability are currently so expensive on the market.

But unlike other big men with shooting ability...

Because Mark is also an insider with high-level support capabilities...

Therefore, for this Lakers, the more they play against a strong team, the more Mark's actual role on the court will be closer to that of Sue and Kobe.

Offensively, he is the key player to maintain the balance between Suko.

On the court, as long as he can stand high, then the Lakers can switch at will according to the offensive needs, whether it is Princeton or the triangle offense.

On defense, he is willing to do the dirty work and is the guarantee for the Lakers' perimeter players when they adopt high-pressure defense against opposing players.

In the G2 game, we were able to suppress the Lakers in the second half.

It was precisely because Yao perfectly suppressed Mark in the second half of the game. "After patting his assistant on the shoulder, Van Gundy said.

"But tonight, Taillon still changed his formation..." After being stunned, the Warriors assistant coach gradually realized why Van Gundy had been picking his head just now.

Although Van Gundy often makes fun of Coach Lu when everyone is chatting...

But the Warriors assistant coaches know it well...

Tyronn Lue is by no means as useless as some coaches and experts say.

Quite the opposite is...

In the view of the Warriors' think tank, Director Lu has always been a coach who will never bet against you if you are not sure.

therefore......

Since Director Lu dares to adjust the Lakers' starting lineup tonight, it means that in his opinion, he believes that the Lakers' starting lineup can compete with the Warriors.

"This is not the first time the Lakers have used a five-small lineup in a game.

But I always feel that the Lakers' five-small lineup tonight will be completely different from before.

Interesting, Tyron.

If Yao doesn't make it, Mark won't make it...

Is this how you respond to us in this game? "On the sidelines, after looking at the Lakers bench, Van Gundy murmured to himself.

In the center of the court, as the starting five players from both teams stepped onto the court one after another, they looked at Su Feng, who was walking to the center circle and preparing to jump ball with Chandler to start the game...

Even today, Kobe is still unwilling to admit it with his mouth, but in his heart, Kobe has already determined that Su Feng is the basketball god of this era.

In the jump ball session, Chandler easily jumped for the Warriors' first possession.

At the scene, amid the cheers of nearly 20,000 Warriors fans...

After noticing that Kobe was guarding one side in order to prevent himself from taking the shot, Curry dribbled the ball directly to the right side of Kobe's intentional release, and entered the Lakers penalty area in the blink of an eye.

Although I don’t know why the Lakers sent such a set of five starters tonight.

But it is an indisputable fact that the Lakers' inside height has dropped at this moment.

"In the first two games, in order to control our outside shots, the Lakers used a lot of this defensive method of letting go but not letting go.

However, after the Lakers' inside height dropped, Tyron...

Where did you get the confidence to ask your players to defend like this? "On the Warriors' bench, Van Gundy looked at his assistant with confusion and asked.

Jeff.

That's of course because of the players guarding the paint for the Lakers at the moment...

He is the "recognized" number one center in NBA history!

Snapped--!

Under the Lakers basket, with nearly 20,000 Warriors fans watching, Su Feng, who retreated to the penalty area, slapped away Stephen Curry's basketball dream with his own hands!

Kobe, who followed Curry all the way, grabbed the second spot.

The Lakers took advantage of the situation and pushed for conversion.

Danny Green came down quickly to receive an assist from Kobe and hit a layup.

2 to 0!

On the sidelines, on the Lakers' bench, seeing this scene, Director Lu's thoughts couldn't help but be drawn back to the morning of the 23rd.

"You mean, you will be our center in the first two quarters?"

In the Lakers training hall, the moment Su Feng gave his suggestion, Director Lu immediately thought about the feasibility of this plan.

About five minutes later, Coach Lu touched his chin and said: "Indeed, it seems that only with you as the center can we perfectly fill the vacancy when Mark is not present."

On the side, Walton reminded: "But Tailen, in basketball games, there is no rule that the opponent must use a center to face our Su."

Director Lu smiled and said, “Of course.

But Luke, have you ever thought about it, this will directly create a mismatch for another of our players on the court? "

Wharton nodded and said, "But what about defense?"

In Wharton's view, no matter how strong Su Feng is, he cannot change the fact that he is only 201 centimeters tall after wearing shoes.

However, after shaking his head, Director Lu said firmly: "I believe in Su."

The camera returned to Oracle Arena. After Green gave the Lakers the first advantage, the Warriors had the ball.

James grabbed the ball and raided the Lakers penalty area.

However, just as he was taking a layup, the ghostly Laker figure suddenly appeared in front of him!

ESPN Sports, ESPN’s special guest tonight laughed and said: “In terms of actual height, Su is even slightly taller than me.

And since I can play center, why can't Su? "

Case solved!

After so many years, people finally heard Da Ben admit from his own words that he was shorter than Su Feng.

In the Lakers penalty area, under the interference of Su Feng, the explosive package thrown by James deviated from the course.

Immediately afterwards, Livingston, who served as the Lakers' power forward tonight, also grabbed this backcourt rebound for the Lakers before Chandler!

On the court, it was the Lakers' turn to attack, and the Warriors, who had learned from their previous experience, retreated quickly and did not give the Lakers a chance to directly convert.

But after landing, the Warriors' defense still showed flaws.

Because the moment Su Feng crossed the half court...

The Warriors players don't know who to match up with him.

In terms of position, it is true that Su Feng is the starting center for the Lakers tonight.

but......

You can't really use Chandler to match him on defense, right?

Wake up!

In terms of Su Feng's shooting range, once Chandler is pulled near the LOGO area...

By then, who else will the Warriors be able to protect the frame?

At the critical moment, James stepped forward, stepped forward in time to block Su Feng's receiving line, and gave Chandler defensive instructions with his eyes.

However, it is just like what Director Lu said.

Regardless of whether the Warriors use Chandler to match up with Su Feng...

Under the premise that Su Feng serves as the center of the Lakers, there must be a Lakers player on the court who will be misaligned with the opponent's inside line!

On the left wing, Rondo, who has quick eyes and quick hands, quickly transferred the ball to Livingston's hands.

Near the free throw line, after two consecutive crotch dribbles, Livingston, who had dreamed back to his days as a "storm-chasing boy", experienced the addiction of a breakthrough for a long time.

Bang, swish!

After breaking into the basket, Livingston smashed the basketball into the Warriors basket with one hand!

4 to 0.

At this time, on the sidelines of the Lakers court, Walton couldn't help but think of Coach Lu's prediction of the situation of this game on the morning of the 23rd.

"Luke, do you remember what I said to you in the G2 game?"

In the Lakers training hall, looking at Lu's guidance, Walton nodded and said: "You said at the time that compared with this Warriors, we do not have the ability to adjust the lineup as unscrupulously as they do."

Hearing this, after patting Wharton on the shoulder with a smile, Director Lu smiled and said: "That's right.

So we have to make trade-offs in the game. "

"Admittedly, no matter how much I trust Su, with the decline in the height of the lineup, our interior defense cannot effectively limit the Warriors' breakthrough like it did in the first two games.

But, as long as we can take advantage of our mobility on the offensive end..."

Walton's eyes suddenly lit up and he added for Lu's guidance: "Then we can use scoring to make up for our deficiencies on the defensive end!"

Director Lu nodded and said: “This is a choice we have to make.

Su is right, we have to have someone to deal with Yao.

And this person can only be Mark. "

"But no matter what, because Su plays the center position, he will inevitably encounter more physical confrontations...

So Tyron, have you ever thought about how we should respond if the Warriors use "air-conditioning tactics" in the second half of the game? "Watching Lu's guidance, Wharton raised the last doubt in his heart.

As we all know, in basketball games, it is impossible for inside players to avoid close combat with their opponents. Therefore, in the past, when the Lakers played for five hours, Director Lu would strictly control the use time of this lineup.

However, after the Warriors split their luxury lineup...

He has to be both a father and a mother.

In addition, the intensity of this round of the Western Conference Finals cannot be compared to the Lakers' previous games...

So in Wharton’s view…

Once the decisive moment comes, the Lakers cannot guarantee Su Feng's physical fitness...

At that time, all the efforts made by the Lakers in the first half will be in vain.

"Don't worry, when I serve as center, I will focus more on defense." Looking at Walton in the Lakers training hall, Su Feng answered Lu's doubts.

"But in that case, what should we do with our offense?" Walton raised a new question.

Hearing this, Su Feng pointed at Livingston, who was having one-on-one training with Kobe on the training field.

"Don't we still have 'Ce Jordan' Sean?" Su Feng said with a smile.

Wharton: "..."

Good guy!

Is this the so-called "soldiers will block it, and water will cover it with soil"?

"How do I feel that compared to the Warriors... we seem to be poor people who have to think about whether we have to wait until a discount to buy a pair of leather shoes?" Walton laughed at himself in the Lakers' training facility.

Looking at Wharton, Su Feng was happy.

Because not long ago, Kobe had similar complaints.

The camera returns to Oracle Arena again.

The Warriors' third offense since the start of the night.

This time, James drove into the basket and put the basketball firmly into the hoop.

In order to control the Warriors' number of outside shots, the Lakers will inevitably have to give this Warriors a breakthrough like this.

Come back and the Lakers attack.

On the sidelines, Van Gundy's assistant suggested to him: "When the Lakers use a small lineup, should we also change to a small lineup?"

Van Gundy shook his head and said: "I am very sure that as long as we change to a smaller lineup, the Lakers will immediately replace DeAndre or Hassan."

After a pause, Van Gundy also signaled to his assistant to calm down, "Now, the Lakers are trying to crack our lineup.

Although, they can indeed use Su's mismatch advantage on the offensive end to create a mismatch advantage for others.

but......

If we focus our attention on their role players, wouldn't we be putting the cart before the horse?

Moreover, as long as the Lakers are unable to continue their offensive firepower on the court, I really can't think of anything else Tyron can do besides hugging Su and Kobe's thighs. "

In the first two games, Su Feng and Kobe's taking turns in singles can be said to be the Lakers' ultimate killer move.

But after the G2 battle, Van Gundy believed that Coach Lu would cherish the physical fitness of Su Feng and Kobe.

Because in this series, when entering the decisive moment, the Lakers not only have to ensure that Su Feng has sufficient physical fitness.

Moreover, they had to ensure that Kobe had a certain amount of physical fitness to support Su Feng.

Otherwise, facing the Warriors' efficient offense relying on the strength of the entire lineup, it would be impossible for the Lakers to take over.

And to put it simply...

If we talk about the dark battle that year, neither the Celtics nor the Lakers could do anything to the other.

In this new round of dark battle, no one can guard against anyone, they can only compete with others whose offense is more stable.

On the court, watching Livingston, who was forced to be the vanguard for the Lakers tonight...

In front of the TV, God knows how nervous the Hu honeys are at this moment.

In the high position, Su Feng was in charge of the organization.

On the wings, it is up to Kobe to open up the space.

no doubt.

Even Michael Jordan had never experienced such treatment.

On the Lakers bench, at the moment Livingston was about to receive the ball and start the attack, Coach Lu turned to look at Bogdanovic and said: "I will replace you in 6 minutes.

At that time, just as planned before the game, let's fire as much as we can, Bo Yang! "

At this moment, it is absolutely impossible for Van Gundy to think of...

Tonight, the Lakers' opening main attack points will be played by 'Cy Jordan' Livingston and 'Cy Pippen' Bogdanovic.

On the Internet, both Feng Hei and Ke Hei like Hei. They don't trust their teammates and prefer to do it themselves.

But, how do they know...

In this Lakers team, Su Feng and Kobe have never doubted the strength of their teammates.

On the court, after Kobe passed the ball to Livingston's hands, without any hesitation, Livingston immediately picked up the basketball and launched an attack on the position guarded by Chandler.

As one of the centers with the fastest lateral movement among NBA interior players, the moment he noticed Livingston preparing to make an emergency stop, Chandler quickly followed up.

However......

At the moment when Chandler pressed forward, Livingston flicked his wrist and completed the breakthrough along the inside.

no!

Who told you that Livingston can only pull up and lean back.

Don't you know that when he was running for election, he was recognized as the "successor of the magician"?

Although, the strong physical fitness of the past has long been lost.

However, this does not mean that Livingston has slacked off his training in skills.

This ball is obviously not a shot.

But...

Worship Buddha!

Under the basket of the Warriors, Chandler was defeated, and Livingston scored another victory for the Lakers!

At this moment, while beating his chest, Livingston also cast a grateful look at Su Feng and Kobe.

On the TNT TV station, Smith, who saw this scene, also said emotionally: "Perhaps, role players are destined to never reach the heights of superstars in their lifetime!

But this doesn't mean that they can't affect the course of a game! "

There is no doubt about it.

In this round of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers can only defeat the Warriors by giving full play to the characteristics of each role player.

"Seth, get ready, I will replace Kobe with you with 4 minutes left in this quarter."

"Chauncy, once Rajon commits two fouls, you have to take his place!"

The Lakers' bench lacked their usual composure, but at this moment, Coach Lu once again showed the world that his extraordinary talent in using role players far exceeds that of other NBA coaches of the same era.

there is always a solution to a problem!

Before the final battle comes.

Set the stage for superstars.

Who says a small person can't have a big effect?

Oracle Arena, cutout steals from Long's guidance!

Livingston, who was running forward at high speed, threw away James, the fastest defender of the Warriors.

Catching the ball and running up.

Livingston, who knew that James had a Hall of Fame chasing badge like his idol Su Feng, jumped up and used all his strength to play the song "Miracle Reappearance" for his former self!

Like sunlight shining through the night!

Dawn quietly crosses the horizon!

Bang Dang——!

Oakland, Livingston stopped the Golden State Warriors!

On the Lakers bench, Thackeray, who had missed the Lakers' playoff roster, waved the towel in his hand crazily, turned to the golden wave behind him and shouted:

"We are the Los Angeles Lakers!

We are the best team on the planet! "

On the sidelines, a scene that gave the elder Hornacek a heart attack also appeared.

Because in the TV screen, the beautiful golden girl wearing Lakers jersey No. 23, isn't it Abby Hornacek who relied on Su Feng's relationship to get VIP courtside tickets?

"How about it? Is this center player more intimidating than Shaq?" Su Feng said with a smile as he walked back to the bench with Kobe on the court.

Kobe shook his head and said, "Don't be kidding me. With your defense tonight...why should Shaq compete with you?"

In the live broadcast seat of TNT TV station, O'Neal suddenly sneezed.

"MD, it must be Charles secretly speaking ill of me again." After wiping his nose, O'Neill thought silently.

On the court, after the timeout, the game continues.

Van Gundy did not blindly make adjustments to the Warriors' lineup.

In the first quarter of the game, after gradually stabilizing their position, the Warriors' strong offensive firepower was quickly reflected in the score between the two teams.

Fortunately, in the second half of the first quarter, Seth Curry, who came on as Kobe's substitute, hit two difficult three-pointers under his brother's defense that made Dell defect to our Lake camp.

"Good job, Seth!" Dell Curry, wearing a Lakers jersey underneath and a Warriors jersey outside, was definitely the happiest fan tonight.

Because whether the Warriors win or the Lakers win...

One of his two good sons will reach the finals.

Moreover, Yongmi at the scene did not dare to accuse Old Dale of such an aboveboard "defection" behavior.

Because as a father, what’s wrong with cheering for his own son?

If you have the ability, you can give birth to two sons who can compete in the NBA conference finals!

After the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 36 to 37 at Oracle Arena.

During the break, because he was worried that the Warriors would use air-conditioning tactics tonight, Walton suggested to Lue: "Let's let Su rest for a while."

However, Su Feng waved down Wharton's kindness, "Don't worry, Luke.

In this series, there is a high probability that the air conditioning in the Warriors' home court will not break. "

Hearing this, Wharton was stunned at first, then stunned, and then quickly reacted.

Different from last season.

Because the winner between the Lakers and Warriors this season is basically the championship in the 2012/13 season...

Therefore, in this round of the Western Conference Finals where the internal friction is already very serious, in Su Feng's view, unless the Warriors have been pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Lakers, they will not choose to kill a thousand enemies and lose a thousand themselves. Tactical.

Moreover, even if the Warriors adopted air-conditioning tactics, Su Feng was not in vain.

because......

When there are teammates one after another who can share the scoring pressure for themselves, at this moment, you may not believe it...

Su Feng was the one who wished the Warriors would turn off the air conditioner and play ball.

In the second quarter, with 10 minutes left, Coach Lu replaced Kobe Bryant, who was replaced in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter.

And just when Curry, who was rotating at the same time as Kobe, was still silently swearing in his heart that if his brother played again, he would make his brother cry...

Another advantage of the Lakers' five-small lineup also quickly caused Curry to start autistic mode.

Since Su Feng serves as the center, the Warriors will inevitably have mismatches on the field...

Therefore, no matter how well Van Gundy hides Curry...

It is also impossible for elementary school students to always get defensive help from teammates on the flanks like in the first two games.

In the first quarter of the game, with Livingston and Bogdanovic performing beyond their standards, the Lakers were not in a hurry to beat Curry.

But at this moment, as "Cy Jordan" and "Cy Pippen" take a break...

Billups, who knew how to create the most comfortable offensive environment for his own scorers, took advantage of the Warriors' flank defense focus on Su Feng to directly summon Curry in front of Kobe.

Although, under Van Gundy's training in the past two years, Curry's defense has improved rapidly.

But facing Kobe, nicknamed "Los Angeles Malone", how could Curry's slightly thin body withstand Kobe's attack?

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

On the court, watching Curry being beaten up in the corner by Kobe, James was extremely anxious.

But Su Feng, who always stood in a high position, made James dare not move a step.

At the critical moment, when Kobe leaned on Curry and penetrated into the heart of the Warriors' defense, Kirilenko shouldered everything for Curry.

However, because the Lakers' five-small lineup stretched the space to a large extent, how could Kobe, who played with the passing button, not have planned in advance?

At a 45-degree angle on the right wing, Chauncey Sr. took a pass from Kobe and hit a three-pointer for the Lakers!

On the sidelines, on the Warriors' bench, watching the Warriors' heroic formation dragged into a bitter battle by the Lakers' cobbled-together lineup, Van Gundy was so angry that he even thought about replacing Yao Ming in advance.

But after getting frustrated, Van Gundy held back.

As the saying goes, a little impatience will ruin a big plan.

In Van Gundy's view, even if the performance of the Lakers' role players tonight exceeded his expectations, the Warriors will still have the upper hand in the second half of the game.

Because Van Gundy knows that in this series, Yao Ming is the Warriors' absolute advantage on the court.

So, Tyrann...

Just let you be proud for a while!

"We have played so well, but our opponent still insists on holding on to the score."

On the Lakers' bench, looking at the alternating scoreboard, Van Gundy might not believe it. Not only was Coach Lu not half proud, he even...

There was still so much that he wanted to cry.

Because despite the changes, the Lakers successfully followed the team's pre-game policy, giving the team sufficient physical protection for the upcoming second half of the game.

But compared to the Warriors who can field a luxurious lineup every quarter...

The Lakers are still the underdog team.

Moreover, so far in this game, the reason why the Lakers have been able to compete with the Warriors on the score is also due to Su Feng's outstanding performance in the paint tonight.

In the first half of the game, why didn't Van Gundy follow the Lakers?

Because as long as Chandler is on the court, Su Feng must use all his strength to fight for his position.

So, even if Su Feng didn't fire much in the first half tonight...

His physical energy consumption is also not small.

Admittedly, as Su Feng expected, the Warriors had no plans to use air-conditioning tactics tonight.

But in such a round, every detail may determine the final direction of the series...

Director Lu knew that at this moment, all he could do was probably pray.

On the side, Wharton, who had suggested that Su Feng take a rest during the first quarter, gradually understood why Su Feng did not accept his suggestion at that time.

Because if I weren't afraid of Su Feng...

How could Kobe put Curry in front of him again and again in that game?

This is the Golden State Warriors.

After the Lakers tried their best...

The Lakers are still not qualified to make more proactive adjustments to the team in front of them.

On the court, the Warriors attack.

At the end of the second quarter with 3 minutes and 45 seconds left, Curry, who had been beaten, finally got revenge on the Lakers with a three-pointer.

59 to 59.

After high-fiving Curry in a slightly distressed manner, James looked at his firm-eyed partner and saw in him a quality of will that was far beyond ordinary people.

"We will definitely win the championship together, Stephen!" There has never been a moment when James was so convinced that he would be able to win the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of the NBA team.

After hearing this, Curry smiled and said: "Of course, LeBron!"

In New York, watching this round of Western Conference finals with ratings that continue to set NBA records, David Stern, who is about to retire, couldn't help but sigh: "Basketball is such a damn sport.

Because it can make people want to stop! "

Oracle Arena, halftime, 67 to 67.

This night.

During halftime.

In the small visiting team's locker room.

Seeing Su Feng who had entered a meditative state, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Even Green and Fensen who wanted to listen to music to relax hurriedly turned off their music players.

Quiet.

Far quieter than imagined.

For fear of disturbing Su Feng, the Lakers players did not dare to make any noise.

Until the on-site staff came over to remind the Lakers coaching staff that halftime was over...

Kobe just stepped forward and patted Su Feng on the shoulder.

And at this moment, looking at the confidence and determination revealed in Su Feng's eyes...

The Lakers players seemed to have borrowed courage from Liang Jingru...

What is a leader?

A leader is a player who can make all players trust him unconditionally and can influence the morale of a team with his words and deeds.

Before entering the second half, looking at Su Feng's back, Walton, who was walking at the end, sighed to Director Lu next to him: "Sure enough, compared to the Warriors' magnificent formation...

I would rather have a player like Su. "

Director Lu smiled and said, “I think so too.

Because no matter how strong the Warriors' lineup is.

As long as Su is here, you will never lose confidence in the game! "
