I really just want to strike

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. "Van Gundy said after patting his assistant on the shoulder.

"However, tonight, Tyronn still changed his lineup..." After being stunned for a while, the assistant coach of the Warriors has gradually realized why Van Gundy has been picking his head just now.

Although Van Gundy often made fun of Director Lu when everyone was chatting...

But the Warriors' assistant coaches knew in their hearts...

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

Quite the opposite is...

From the perspective of the Warriors' think tank, Director Lu has always been a coach who will never bet against you if he is not sure.

therefore......

Since Director Lu dared 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 isn't the first time the Lakers have played with five small lineups.

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

Interesting, Taryn.

If Yao is not on, Mark will not be on...

Is this your response to us in this game? "On the sidelines, after looking at the Lakers bench, Van Gundy muttered to himself.

In the center of the field, when the starting five of the two teams stepped onto the field one after another, they watched Su Feng who was walking towards the center circle to start the game with Chandler with a jump ball...

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

In the jump ball link, Chandler easily jumped off the opening first attack for the Warriors.

At the scene, amid the cheers of nearly [-] Warriors fans...

After noticing that Bryant was defending one side in order to avoid his own shot, Curry dribbled directly to the right side of Bryant's intentional empty, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the Lakers penalty area.

Although I don't know why the Lakers sent such a set of five small 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 this kind of defense method in the game.

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

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

jeff.

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

Is "recognized" the first center in NBA history!

Snapped--!

Under the Lakers basket, under the watchful eyes of nearly [-] Warriors fans, Su Feng, who retreated to the penalty area, slapped Stephen Curry's basketball dream away with his own hands!

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

The Lakers took advantage of the situation to push the conversion.

Danny Green quickly made a layup with an assist from Kobe.

2 is better than 0!

On the sidelines, on the Lakers' bench, seeing this scene, Director Lu's thoughts could not help being pulled back to the morning of the 23rd.

"You mean, you'll be our center for 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 5 minutes later, Director Lu touched his chin and said: "Indeed, it seems that only if you play the center forward can we perfectly fill the vacancy that Mark is not on the court."

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

Director Lu smiled and said, "Of course.

But Luke, did you ever think that this way, another of our players would be a direct mismatch on the court? "

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

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

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

The camera returns to Oracle Arena, after Green takes the lead for the Lakers, the Warriors have the ball.

James held the ball and raided the Lakers penalty area.

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

ESPN Sports, tonight's ESPN special guest Big Ben said with a smile: "In terms of actual height, Sue is even a little bit taller than me.

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

Case solved!

After so many years, people finally heard Da Ben admit that he is shorter than Su Feng.

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

Immediately afterwards, Livingston, who served as my 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 the lessons from just now, retreated quickly, not giving the Lakers a chance to directly make a conversion.

However, after falling to the ground, the Warriors' defense still showed flaws.

Because the moment Su Feng stepped across the half court...

The Warriors players didn't know who to play against him.

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

but......

You can't really use Chandler to play against him on defense, can you?

Wake up!

As far as Su Feng's shooting range is concerned, once Chandler is pulled near the LOGO area by him...

At that time, who else in the Warriors can protect the frame?

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

However, just as Director Lu said.

Whether or not the Warriors use Chandler and Su Feng...

Under the premise that Su Feng is the center of the Lakers, there must be a Lakers player on the field who will form a dislocation with the opponent's inside line!

On the left wing, Rondo, with 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 dreamed back to the "Chasing Boy" era, had a breakthrough addiction for a long time.

Bang, swish!

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

4:0.

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

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

In the Lakers' training hall, watching Director Lu, after nodding, Walton said: "You said at the time, compared with this Warriors, we don't have the ability to adjust the lineup unscrupulously like them."

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

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

"Admittedly, no matter how much I trust Sue, as the height of the lineup drops, it is impossible for our inside defense to effectively limit the breakthrough of the Warriors like in the previous two games.

But, as long as we can take advantage of our mobility offensively..."

Walton, whose eyes suddenly lit up, added for Lu's guidance: "Then we can use scoring to make up for our lack of defense!"

Director Lu nodded and said, "This is a trade-off we have to make.

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

And this person can only be Mark. "

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

So Tyronn, have you ever wondered, if the Warriors use 'air-conditioning tactics' in the second half of the game, what should we do then? "Looking at Lu's guidance, Wharton raised the last doubt in his heart.

As we all know, since it is impossible for inside players to avoid hand-to-hand combat with opponents in a basketball game, Director Lu would strictly control the use time of this lineup in the past five hours when the Lakers played to death.

However, after the Warriors split their roster apart...

Be both a father and a mother.

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

So in Wharton's view...

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

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

"Don't worry, when I'm a center forward, I will focus more on defense." In the Lakers' training hall, looking at Wharton, Su Feng answered Director Lu's doubts.

"But in that case, what about our offense?" Wharton asked a new question.

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

"Don't we still have 'Sai Jordan' Sean?" Su Feng laughed.

Wharton: "..."

Good guy!

Is this the so-called "soldiers come to block, water comes to cover"?

"How do I feel, compared with the Warriors... We seem to be poor people who have to wait for a discount to buy a pair of leather shoes?" Walton laughed at himself in the Lakers' training hall.

Looking at Wharton, Su Feng was overjoyed.

Because not long ago, Kobe made similar complaints.

The camera returns to Oracle Arena again.

The Warriors' third offense since the start tonight.

This time, James drove to the basket and put the ball firmly into the ring.

In order to control the Warriors' outside shots, such breakthroughs, the Lakers inevitably have to give them to the Warriors.

Come back, the Lakers attack.

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

Van Gundy shook his head and said, "I'm pretty sure that as long as we change to a small lineup, the Lakers will immediately replace DeAndre or Hassan."

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

Although, they can indeed use Su's dislocation advantage on the offensive end to make others form a dislocation advantage.

but......

Wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse if we put our focus on their role players?

Moreover, as long as the Lakers can't continue their offensive firepower on the court, at that time, I really can't think of what else Tyron can do besides hugging Su and Kobe's thighs tightly. "

In the first two games, Su Feng and Kobe's singles play was the Lakers' ultimate move.

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

Because in this round of the 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, it would be impossible for the Lakers to accept the Warriors' efficient offense relying on the hard power of the overall lineup.

And simply put...
