Legend of Tomorrow

On May 14, the first game of the Warriors vs. Lakers started in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles fans rarely boo their opponents, but this time when Pachulia of the Warriors came on the court, the audience booed. As a marginalized person, he attracts more attention from fans than the stars.

Pachulia hated Guo Xu. He was already close to passing the test. Even Leonard said he didn't mean it. Even though many people said he was dirty, it would not affect his career. However, Guo Xu exposed his actions and thoughts at the time, causing a group of people to shout slogans to get him out of the NBA.

Pachulia could only knock out her front teeth and swallow it, but there was nothing he could do against Guo Xu. If he dared to foul Guo Xu, he would be dead. It would not be a suspension, but in reality, he might be shot to death by the pot secret. He cosplayed with Xu Wenqiang in the last episode just after leaving the gym.

Green also received boos from Los Angeles fans, but his mentality will not be affected. This guy is booed wherever he goes. When playing away games, he is often booed as soon as he leaves the hotel. His style of play is so bad.

Both sides started the game, and the Lakers adjusted their lineup. Guo Xu, Tucker, Durant, Harrell, Horford.

When Tucker first entered the league, he mainly played shooting guard. He was quickly eliminated because his skills were rough and he could not score. His movement speed could keep up with Redick, and his strength advantage was obvious.

Harrell is sent to the starting lineup to target the Warriors' offense. He is better suited to guard the pick-and-roll than Adams.

Some people always say that Tyronn Lue is an overrated coach. In fact, he has many people playing under him, and he can also play some tricks.

Adams has poor mobility. If the Warriors want to defeat the Lakers, they must shoot from the outside. The Warriors are much worse in low post offense.

Green is a little shorter than Harrell, and his strength is about the same. Gobert's scoring mainly relies on cuts behind screens and shots under the basket. Nowitzki and David West are used to shooting outside.

The Lakers don't need Adams to defend the penalty area against the Warriors, and their style of play will definitely not be the same as against the Pelicans.

Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Redick, Middleton, Green, Nowitzki.

In order to better open up the floor, Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked Nowitzki to start at center and believed that he could guard Adams. Unexpectedly, Adams did not play. The tactic he arranged before the game to help Curry cover the ball and take shots could not be used.

It is difficult for Curry to beat Guo Xu when he breaks through with the ball. He basically scores without the ball against the Lakers. In the past two seasons, the Warriors' routines have been figured out by the Lakers, and targeted adjustments have been made from the beginning.

The Warriors don't use Gobert, and their defense of the penalty area is also flawed. Coach Jackson can only arrange this. If the Lakers play with two blue-collar players who have no shooting range, they will definitely not win.

Horford won the jump ball and the game was on.

Durant picked up the ball from the outside and moved it to the three-point line and passed it to Horford in the middle. He ran to the left corner and was on one side of Tucker in the bottom corner.

Guo Xu first ran to the right corner, and then ran up the line under Harrell's off-ball cover. He received a pass from Horford at a 70-degree angle, forming a weak side on the right side.

Green and Curry double-teamed Guo Xu. He hit the ground between the two and passed the ball to Harrell, who was cutting through the air. Nowitzki retreated and had no time to cover. Harrell went straight to the basket and scored with a one-handed dunk. . 2 to 0.

Harrell is too fierce;

Even Nowitzki may not be able to defend him at the basket, and may be dunked by him. Nowitzki follows Horford relatively far outside, and it takes time to turn around and retreat. When he is on the court, the Warriors' defensive weaknesses in the penalty area are obvious.

When the Warriors attacked, Curry passed the ball to Green in the middle of the court and ran under Nowitzki's off-ball screen. Harrell changed his defense and Guo Xu quickly bypassed the screen to catch up and form a double-team.

Curry and Guo Xu played together, attracting double-teams and then finding an opening to pass to Nowitzki, who was cutting through the air. However, the Warriors failed to create an opening. Horford retreated in time in the middle to block Nowitzki's breakthrough route. His resistance was outside the penalty area.

The two are old rivals. Nowitzki knew that he was ineffective against Horford this year, so he immediately passed the ball to the outside to find Green who was left open. Unexpectedly, Guo Xu let go of Kurica's passing route, cut off the basketball with his right hand and passed Green in one step for a fast break.

His speed was so fast that when Green turned around, Guo Xu was already halfway across the court, and Curry couldn't catch up with him. Guo Xu calculated his steps well, turned around and took off with both feet, folded his hands behind his back and smashed the ball in. 4 to 0.

The home fans applauded and cheered. This goal boosted morale.

The Warriors attacked, and the same routine was repeated again. Curry was unable to get out of the open space, and passed to Nowitzki. The latter attracted the defense and passed to Green, who was once again left open in the middle.

Green took aim, shot a three-pointer without any interference, and the ball went in. 4 to 3.

After scoring the goal, Green's expression was very magical. He defended with his big tongue out and smiled like a Shiba Inu. There will be many opportunities for him to take shots like this. The Lakers' strategy is to let Green shoot. How many goals can he score in a game?

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu ran from the right baseline to the upper line, and received the ball under Harrell's cover. This time Green went to the low post to defend Harrell, and Curry pursued the defense in place.

Guo Xu did not take a direct shot and got the opportunity to challenge Curry in front of the frame. He dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, then dribbled the ball behind his back to the right and changed direction. Then he stopped suddenly and dribbled the ball under his crotch with his right hand, passed it to his left hand and stepped back out of the three-point line. He shot a 70-degree jumper from the right side for a three-pointer.

Curry was almost knocked to the ground. He stepped forward and could only stretch out his hand to interfere slightly, and the ball went in. 7 to 3.

Green was led to the low post. The 39-year-old Nowitzki wanted to let Horford go to cover, but his legs and feet were no longer so neat and he came out too slowly.

Even if he defends him, Guo Xu can still pass the ball to Horford, who can cut in the middle, attract defense and distribute the ball to his teammates.

The Warriors attacked, and after several passes, Middleton singled out Durant. The breakthrough on the left attracted Horford to cover the ball. Green was left open again on the outside, and his attempt to shoot a three-pointer missed.

The Lakers continued the same routine when attacking. Guo Xu took the ball on the weak side, Harrell cut through, and Green did not come out to double-team.

Guo Xu often played like this when the two teams competed in the regular season, which made Curry want to cry. He will provide assists when encountering double teams, and the Warriors are almost certain to lose. If his teammates don't double-team Curry, it will be miserable. Guo Xu may score super high points.

After the Warriors were eliminated in last year's playoffs, many people said Curry was a defensive black hole, and he felt very wronged. It's not like he was the only one who couldn't guard Guo Xu, all defenders couldn't guard him one-on-one.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball under his crotch and redirected it to the left with his right hand. Horford made a screen to help him pass Curry easily. When he was about to hit Nowitzki, his center of gravity dropped very low, and he tapped the ball with his left hand to his right hand. .

When he turned sideways to pick up the ball with his right hand, he completed the change of direction, passed Nowitzki with speed and went to the basket from the center. The ball attracted Green to cover and jump to the left with both hands holding the ball. He dodged Green's block and scored with his left hand.

9 to 3, personal 7th point.

The Warriors attacked, Curry ran to catch the ball and forced a shot but missed due to Guo Xu's interference. Horford grabbed the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu for counterattack.

Guo Xu quickly advanced across the half court and passed to Tucker, who relied on Redick to rush inside and forced the basketball to score. The two are about the same height, but Tucker is much stronger. Redick is too crowded to jump.

11 to 3, Guo Xu’s second assist.

Zhang Lijia, who was broadcasting the game live, said: Looking at these rounds, I think the Lakers are sure to win. They have too many opportunities. Tucker is so fierce, and Durant hasn't thrown the ball yet.

Yu Jia sighed: The Lakers can win the championship this year without Durant. He is here to hold Guo Xu's thigh. Guo Xu attacks with the ball, and the Warriors can't defend him at all.
