NBA: I am the card dealer

The situation in the second quarter was indeed as expected, and the Warriors' offense began to recover.

They also made a small adjustment. McGee went down, Iguodala came up, and directly used the death five to fight against the Lakers.

This time.

The positions are all right.

of course.

This is not the main reason why the Warriors performed better.

The main reason is that the lineup structure is indeed becoming perfect.

The intimidation of Curry and Thompson when running is quite terrifying, while Green deals cards at the top of the arc, which has the effect of walking in the center, and Iguodala is very good whether he cuts or leads the attack.

Therefore, the speed at which they conduct the ball becomes very fast, which is dizzying.

And this kind of high-quality conduction and offense is exactly the trick to crack the Lakers' unlimited defense.

As long as you move the ball fast enough, your unlimited defense changes simply can't keep up.

The Warriors took advantage of this to create a gap in space and score frequently.

Curry and Thompson both performed well.

Only Durant's state in this game was a bit awkward. Halfway through the second quarter, he only made 6 of 2 shots and only scored 6 points on free throws. His performance was quite average.

The host has noticed this, "Durant seems to be at a loss in this game. I don't know why, but he can't always find his position. This is very worrying."

The commentator did not take it seriously: "When the team's offense is blocked, it is Durant's battlefield. I am not worried about his status at all, because he is the best scorer in the league, and his scoring ability is beyond doubt. "

The commentator had a different view: "I think this may not be just a matter of status, but that Glenn Robinson is constantly putting pressure on Durant, constantly increasing physical contact and physical confrontation. His endless entanglement makes Durant a little tired. ”

Although the Lakers use a tactic of unlimited defense changes, Glenn Robinson still focuses on Durant.

The two began to tangle in the first minute of the game. As long as they were in a position, Glenn Robinson would give Durant intensity.

And it was Glenn Robinson's willingness to devote all his energy, even if he was exhausted, to force the opponent out of his comfort zone, that made the Lakers' defensive intensity directly increase in the first quarter.

Therefore, the defensive attitude, defensive awareness, and defensive enthusiasm of the defensive champions directly affect the defensive effect of the entire team.

George's defensive ability is well known, but when George was there, they were not as oppressive.

The main reason is that George needs to focus a lot of energy on the offensive end and does not devote all his energy to the defensive end, so naturally he cannot achieve that kind of defensive effect.

But Glenn Robinson is different. He will really fight you when he comes up.

This is why a defensive champion is often needed in the starting lineup. His presence directly mobilizes the defensive vitality of the entire team and injects that tough temperament.

People like PJ Tucker, Beverley, Chasing Green, Shumpert and others are typical examples.

Sometimes looking at their offensive performance, it's really a mess, but their starting position is untouchable. Many people may have this doubt, why are they putting burdens on the court when their performance is so poor?

The reason is actually here. The team needs defensive vitality and tough temperament, and needs someone to do the dirty work.

In this game, Glenn Robinson played such a role.

The game continues.

The Lakers still implement Xue Liancheng's off-ball movement, pull and connect the ball, and Randall's high-post support strategy. The Warriors have nothing to do about this.

As the game progresses, the collision between the two sides becomes more and more intense. Originally, the pace of the game should become very fast if the small lineups are competing against each other.

But in the second half of the second quarter, the rhythm of both sides slowed down, and the scoring efficiency also dropped rapidly.

soon.

Halftime ended with the Lakers leading by 57 points at 53:4.

The difference is not big, completely within reach.

The host took the lead in giving a half-time summary: "Xue Liancheng's continued efforts finally helped the Lakers reactivate their morale. Now it depends on how they can continue this state in the second half."

The commentator continued: "Indeed, Xue Liancheng once again showed the level of a top star in this life-and-death situation. He made 13 of 8 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 23 points and 7 assists. The data of 4 rebounds and 2 steals, especially the flying interception and steal in the second half of the second quarter, was really hard work! His desperate spirit for the team to win infected all the Lakers players, and everyone played very hard. ”

Commentator: "Xue Liancheng really showed his determination to win. He only rested for two minutes in the first half. He was running non-stop on the court. However, looking at Xue Liancheng's appearance, his physical exertion seemed to be quite large. I wonder if he would be able to win in the second half. Can you still withstand it?”

at this time.

On the big screen, Xue Liancheng was walking towards the locker room with his hands on his hips. Judging from his panting appearance, he was indeed very tired.

Can you be tired?

He played for 22 minutes and 16 seconds in the entire first half, that is, he took a two-minute break at the beginning of the second quarter...

wrong……

I only rested for 1 minute and 44 seconds.

Then on the court, he moved around without the ball to create space. He was really running around non-stop, without much stopping at all.

of course.

It's not the most physically draining thing.

The most physically demanding areas are catching the ball and hitting the basket or passing the ball accurately to teammates.

Hitting 13 goals in 8 shots is not something that can be done easily.

As for the question of whether to save energy?

If you lose the game, the season is over. You can lie down for a long time without any physical worries.

Therefore, there is no need to ask this question at all.

This is a tie-break, and there is no need to hold back even if we fight until after the game to get some drips.

The most important thing is that they have no qualifications to stay.

Moderator: "In this game, Xue Liancheng is really one against four. One person scored less than half of the team's points and two-thirds of the assists. I can't imagine what it would be like without him." ?”

Commentator: "The most incredible thing is that Xue Liancheng's ball-holding and core style of play, which is not all-encompassing, can perform like this and have such data, it is really commendable."

Commentator: "I think the main reason for this half was that he was in good condition. He made 6 of 3 three-pointers and 7 of 5 two-pointers. His efficiency was very high."

Commentator: "So, if Xue Liancheng focuses on offense, he will definitely be one of the top scorers in history. But now, his first reaction will still be to pass the ball... It's really a pity, I'm actually very disappointed. I want to see what Xue Liancheng looks like with all his firepower."

The commentator laughed: "Actually, I think Xue Liancheng's desire to attack is strong enough in this game. He can count the number of times he scored 23 points in the half on one hand. If he had full firepower, he might not be like this. You know, it’s precisely because his first choice is to pass the ball, so the defender’s first reaction is to intercept his passing route, which relieves his offensive pressure a lot.”
