I’m Really Playing Basketball - Chapter 888
Popular recommendation:
The first three games of the Western Conference Finals were not in the rhythm of the Warriors players.
In this series, the most important starter’s offense for the Warriors did not play in three games. At the same time, in the first three games, Chen Xiao, the player in charge of the Warriors, did not have an explosive offensive efficiency.
I have to say that these three games are really far from what the Warriors imagined.
In this case, the Warriors still won a game at the home of G2 with the explosion of the bench led by Morant. This is really very, very difficult, and it is enough to satisfy.
According to the estimates of the Warriors before the start of the series, if the Warriors’ offense in three games is like this, then the Warriors will be behind 0-3, and the series is expected to be explained.
0 to 3 and 1 to 2, that’s really not the same thing.
In G4, the Western Finals between the Warriors and the Lakers continued at Staples. Before the game started, the media were all optimistic about the Lakers.
In the first three games, the Warriors’ offense really played like **** amid the tireless defense of the Lakers.
Chen Xiao’s shooting percentage has not exceeded 50% in three games. This is the first time in Chen Xiao’s career.
And this is already the Warriors’ best starting offensive player.
The other players on the Warriors played worse offense, and the worse they played, the more defensive pressure Chen Xiao faced.
In this case, the Warriors also fell into a vicious circle.
Therefore, many experts have suggested that the Warriors switch teams.
Mention Morant and Alexander in the starting lineup and replace Klai and Herbert Jones.
Alexander and Morant can play alone, no matter whether they can play the best defensive player-level players such as Leonard, Siakam, Paul George and Lowe, at least, they can play alone and can share the offensive pressure on Chen Xiao .
At least, Chen Xiao’s attack could be a little easier.
This is actually a suggestion that seems to work.
However, it just seems feasible.
Let the team tactics of the Warriors with Chen Xiao as the core become the same singles tactics of the Lakers. In the end, Chen Xiao took Wiggins, Morant and Alexander to fight with the Lakers in singles. This is actually caught in the rhythm of the Lakers. .
Also, as far as Morant and Alexander’s defenses are concerned, there are two opposing defensive holes on the court, which are for Leonard and Paul George to catch them and beat them.
Moreover, even if Morant and Alexander can play singles, can they relieve the defensive pressure on Chen Xiao? This is too naive. If the two really fall into singles and reduce the Warriors’ offensive rhythm, then obviously, the Lakers’ defense can be rotated more calmly, and the Lakers’ defense consumption will be less.
Therefore, even under such tremendous pressure, Kerr never wavered the Warriors’ style of play.
Although they were behind 1-2 in the first three games, they were able to win one game in such an offensive state as the Warriors. There was no problem with the Warriors’ play style.
In G4, the Warriors are still insisting on this style of play, and the Lakers players are still running and defending as if they were doping under such public opinion.
Therefore, except for Chen Xiao, the starting players of the Warriors in this game still did not play well enough.
For example, Herbert Jones, who was 0-for-2 in this game, played 28 minutes in the whole game, and there was almost no chance of any shot.
For example, Marvin Bagley, who was 1 of 8 in the game, also had no chance, not enough that he was a star and had the power to force a shot, but in the face of a player at the best defensive player level like Lowe, Marvin Bagley The attack looked extremely bad.
but…
Relatively speaking, although Klai and Wiggins are still not good enough, they are much better than the previous three games.
For example, Kelai made 6 of 18 shots and 6 of 16 three-pointers in this game. He scored 18 points in the game. Kelai’s catch and attack in this game were all strong attacks. In this game, he was able to shoot such three-pointers The shooting percentage of the ball really belongs to the small arrival of Buddha.
Although Kelai’s shooting percentage in this game is not high, the three-pointers that hit the magic ball level really made the Lakers dare not relax a little bit against him throughout the game, which greatly reduced Chen Xiao and other warriors. The defensive pressure on the team’s players, and his physical off-the-ball movement can indeed greatly contain the Lakers’ defensive energy and create opportunities for teammates.
And this game, the most surprising is definitely Wiggins.
After being blown up by Leonard in the first three games, Wiggins really dared to fight in this game. The offense used his talent to madly attack the defensive players of Leonard and the Lakers, although the hit rate was only 7 of 18, but if you dare to play, you can share the offensive pressure of Chen Xiao. Wiggins dared to single against the Lakers’ defensive players in this game, which is much better than letting Alexander and Morant come up, because of Wiggins’ defense, much stronger than them.
In this game, the most commendable thing is Wiggins’ defense. Wiggins grabbed 16 rebounds in the whole game. In play, the Warriors actually grabbed 55 rebounds, 10 more than the Lakers.
You know, every time the Warriors protect a backcourt rebound, it can reduce the Lakers’ starter a chance for a second attack.
So, the Lakers’ starting offense didn’t explode in this game.
Under the strangulation of Wiggins and pj Tucker, the Lakers mainly attacked Leonard on the outside, 10 of 25 in this game, and the score of 30 points in the game is not low, but the efficiency is very general.
And Paul George, under the defense of Klai, was 9 of 20 and played very well.
In addition, Jokic, who was entangled by Chen Xiao, was 7 of 17 in this game, and the hit rate was not high.
In this case, the Lakers need Siakam and Lowe to grab the offensive rebounds, but the Lakers have fewer rebounds than the Warriors in this game.
In the end, the Lakers, with the dominant starter, actually lost the starter in this game.
Of course, the most important reason why the Lakers lost the starting lineup was, of course, Chen Xiao’s game. After the average of the first three games, this game finally exploded.
In this game, Chen Xiao scored 14 of 26, 10 of 18 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 42 points in the whole game!
Chen Xiao’s performance of 42 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists in this game was the key to the Warriors’ final victory over the Lakers on the road.
In the end, under the incredible gaze of all the Lakers fans on the scene, the Warriors almost changed their fate against the sky and won a key game at the Lakers’ home court.
The final score of the game was 116-107, and the Warriors didn’t actually win that much.
It can be said that this G4 is really a game that is a great torment for the players of both teams. Both sides desperately want to win, and both sides almost pulled the intensity to the maximum.
As far as the Lakers are concerned, in this game, Leonard played 44 minutes, and Paul George and Jokic also played 41 minutes.
On the Warriors side, Chen Xiao and Wiggins all played for more than 40 minutes, including 43 minutes for Chen Xiao and 40 minutes for Wiggins.
Of course, for both sides, the intensity of the first four games is actually great.
It’s just obvious that the lineup is thicker and the younger Warriors are more dominant in such a meat grinder-like competition.
So after the loss in G4, even if it was just a big 2-2 score, the Lakers head coach Ke Boss looked very ugly after the game.
For the Lakers, this game is a game that has been accomplished in one battle. This game has been fought for so much, but it was not able to win. It was a big blow to the Lakers, not only psychologically but also physically.
The Lakers did not win this game, so for the Lakers, the next game needs to be more hard.
G5, sure enough, the Lakers must work harder, because in this game, the Lakers’ leading stars Leonard and Paul George both played 44 minutes, Jokic also played 40 minutes, Siakam and Lowe also played Both played for 33 minutes.
At the end of the game, fans could see that the legs of the Lakers players were filled with lead.
On the contrary, the players of the Warriors have been very brave in this game.
Especially Wiggins, who was extremely strong on offense and defense in the last game.
In this game, Wiggins was still daring to fight, and his defense was still hard-working.
In this game, the best player the Warriors played was Wiggins. In this game, he and Leonard, who had some residual blood, actually played a 50-50 matchup.
In this game, Leonard scored 11 of 22, 4 of 8 from three-pointers, 5 of 6 from the free throw line, and scored 31 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists.
And Wiggins, this game is 13 of 24, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, the audience also scored 31 points.
In this game, Wiggins even replaced Chen Xiao and carried the banner of the team’s singles main attack.
Instead, it was Chen Xiao, who was the shooter next to Wiggins and the assistant who moved the ball. In addition, Chen Xiao, who was a pure shooter in this game, had a very average shooting rate, 7 of 20 and 3 of 13 three-pointers. He made 3 of 3 free throws and only scored 20 points, but Chen Xiao sent 11 assists in this game.
In fact, Chen Xiao’s hit rate is understandable. As a pure shooter, Chen Xiao does not dribble the ball and singles. Every time the defender in front is very high, and there is no chance to adjust, almost every time there is interference and no rhythm. Forced shots , In the case of poor hand feel, it is actually not bad to be able to play this efficiency against Wiggins’ singles.
As far as Wiggins’ singles in this game are concerned, the average person takes the pot and faces a defensive player of the Lakers’ level. It is estimated that it is good to score 5, but Chen Xiao scored 7.
Of course, his offensive efficiency is not high enough, which still cannot stop Chen Xiao from being happy.
In this game, Wiggins finally found confidence.
This series, Wiggins, finally found confidence.
After the period of the Timberwolves soaking wolfberry, after coming to the Warriors, he finally gave up health basketball.
Although he threw the Goji Cup this time, maybe just for the next big contract, but he still made a great contribution to the Warriors.
“Many people are surprised by Wiggins’ performance in these two games, but I have never doubted his ability and talent. Everyone in our team knows his strength. Don’t forget, he used to be invincible. The Son of Heaven, his talent, can be ranked in the top five in the entire NBA, and in these two games, he just showed his talent and reached the height that people expect from him.”
After the game, Chen Xiao was really full of praise for Wiggins.
Even the boss of the division was full of praise for Wiggins: “This game Wiggins proved that he was one of the most talented players in the United States.”
Yes, talent.
In the NBA, talent is really, really, really important in a game where the bayonet hits the spot.
It’s unbelievable how you can use your speed, burst and bounce to tear apart a tired opponent’s defenses again and again when others start to miss shots.
At a time when the Lakers’ players were getting more and more tired, Wiggins finally used his talent to open a gap for the Warriors to break through.
After the Warriors defeated the Lakers 113-103 at home in this game, the big score came to 3-2. At this time, the situation of this round of the series was actually very clear.
After G3 ended, everyone said that the series was over and the Lakers were going to advance.
But who would have thought that after the final G5, everyone began to think that the Warriors would definitely advance.
For such a change in public opinion, the Lakers players are of course very stressed.
But the players on the Warriors side were unaffected by such remarks.
After all, the existence of Chen Xiao, the strongest leader in NBA history, can indeed lead the Warriors.
The more successful this situation is, the more the Warriors need players like Chen Xiao.
On May 28, G6 between the Warriors and the Lakers. In this game, the Lakers played very hard as soon as they came up, but the effect was very bad. Paul George, who played extremely badly in the last game, this game. The game still didn’t play well. The audience was only 6 of 20. When the Lakers needed someone to stand up beside Leonard at a critical moment, Paul George pulled his hip again at a critical moment.
This is reminiscent of last year’s finals.
Paul George’s strength is definitely not a problem, but when he was with the Heat, beside Yao Ming and Wade, Paul George had the problem of suddenly pulling his hips at a critical moment.
In this case, even if Leonard scored 12 of 23 points, 6 of 12 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws, he still lost to the Warriors with 38 points. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
After all, the big three singles Lakers, Paul George went undercover, and Jokic was entangled in 6 of 9 by Chen Xiao. The shooting rate was not low but there was no singles chance. He only scored 16 points. In this case, The Lakers basically have no capital to fight against the Warriors.
In the end, the Lakers lost to the Warriors 96-107 at home.
By the way, Wiggins went 7 of 18 in this game. Although Leonard exploded, it could only be regarded as a minor explosion.
Chen Xiao was 12 of 22, 6 of 12 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 36 points.
As for the worst performance of the Warriors in this game, of course, it was Kelai, who scored 12 points in 5 of 20 games.
If it wasn’t for Claire, the Lakers might have collapsed at halftime.
It can only be said that Kelai really fought against Paul George in this series.
However, for the Warriors, Kelai can fight for George, this is definitely a **** profit!
So, the Warriors advanced, and it was 4-2 that Kerr didn’t think about.
I thought it would be at least seven games.
Western Championship.
Finals tickets.
“After three years, God once again led the team to the finals!”
“God said after his tenth win, he didn’t think it was the last, and now, he’s in the finals for the eleventh time!”
Eleven times!
This is a shocking number.
“However, will this be the 11th title win, or the first defeat?”
Without letting the Warriors and Chen Xiaoduo wait, the next day, the matchup between the Heat and the Bucks in the Eastern Conference finals was over.
4 to 2!
The Bucks eliminated their opponents 4-2 in three consecutive series!
