I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 848

On May 19, before the start of the Western Conference finals G3, the series between the Warriors and the Lakers has completely fallen to the Lakers.

In this series between the Warriors and the Lakers, the Warriors were suppressed by the Lakers almost systematically.

As long as the Lakers use this defensive method to defend the Warriors, and then let Chen Xiao play singles in a tight defense, choking other players' singles, as long as other people's singles can't open, the Warriors are almost certain to lose.

G2, Wade and Ron Howard both played for 37 minutes, and the two scored 44 points together and finally lost, which is almost a microcosm of the series between the Warriors and the Lakers.

Facing the Lakers, one of the strongest defensive teams in the league and one of the fastest-rotating defensive teams, the Warriors are now in a dreadful situation.

Not even playing the Bucks is so embarrassing.

Seriously, play the Bucks, because the Bucks center Green can release, Antetokounmpo can release, the Warriors actually have a way to play.

But the Lakers...

Jokic can't be released, Siakam can't be released either, Leonard, Paul George, Lowry, these three all have very strong singles ability.

For the Warriors, the Lakers are perhaps the toughest team the Warriors have played in the league.

Just like for the Lakers, the Jazz may be the most difficult team to play. When the Lakers just established the team last season, the boss said that he would rather play the Warriors than the Jazz.

And this is a predicament after the Warriors lost their absolute dominance. Now the Warriors really do not have the strength to suppress all opponents.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this that most of the experts and celebrities have turned to the Lakers before the start of G3.

Although it is said that this team has won four consecutive championships, and the three leading players are all over the age of 37, it is not a shame to lose in the Western Conference Finals.

But if you really lose four games in a row after winning one game, seriously, it's still a bit embarrassing for three all-time top 10 players, Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard.

Therefore, many experts are now curious and looking forward to how Chen Xiao and Wade and Ron Howard's Warriors will end this time.

The highly anticipated G3 between the Warriors and the Lakers, as many experts predicted, the Warriors in this desperate situation will be difficult to play.

In fact, it was true. The Warriors were 113 to 125. At the end of the game, at Staples, the Warriors lost by 12 points.

In the whole game, Chen Xiao made 15 of 25, 6 of 15 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 41 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, but he still failed to change the decline of the Warriors' game.

Because in the whole game, except for Chen Xiao, the Warriors team scored in double figures only Kelai.

In this game, Kelai's touch returned, with 9 of 17 and 6 of 10 three-pointers in the game, scoring 25 points in the game.

Apart from Chen Xiao and Kelai, the other player who scored the most was Nongmei. Nongmei scored 4 of 12 in this game, scoring 9 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals. This data is very comprehensive. The defensive organization data can be said to be quite beautiful.

But it's clear that the Warriors need a third point to stand up in this game when Wade and Ron Howard haven't played much time because of exhaustion.

But whether it was Thick Eyebrows, Devin Booker, or Curry Jr., Jaylen Brown failed to stand up.

More importantly, the bench of the Lakers, who had not stood up in the first two games, stood up in this game.

Kuzma and Nick Young scored 18 and 17 points respectively in this game.

Although 3 of the Lakers' five starters scored in double figures in this game, Leonard with 6 of 13 and 19 points, Jokic with 6 of 11 and 17 points, this offense can only be said to be average, and Siakam 3 of 6, Paul George 4 of 6, these two people focused on defense in this game and did not attack much.

But Lowry scored 25 points in this game, 6 of 11, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 10 of 10 free throws.

Lowry's performance in this series is really outstanding. He has speed, strength, three points, confrontation, breakthrough, and almost omnipotence. Devin Booker is almost done by him.

It is because the confrontation can't keep up, so that Lori, an old steel gun who has become a demon, can do it at will.

In g1, Devin Booker didn't dare to fight, and when he took a step, Lowry made a crazy three-pointer, making 7 of 9 three-pointers in the audience.

G3, this time, Devin Booker clenched his teeth, but because the confrontation was really inferior, the defensive movements were deformed. Lowry made 10 free throws and made 10 free throws.

In fact, G2 Lori is 4 of 7, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 11 points, this is not that Devin Booker is good at defending, but Lori most of the time in this game is Luo Ge, who was defeated by Luo Ge He taught him a lesson by using his jammed Joe's backwards to make fouls, and he left the field early for 6 fouls.

Seriously, in the face of players like Lowry, Roger is very useful.

Although Luo Ge can't stop Lori's breakthrough now, but he can block his shot and let Lori behind him. Chen Xiao, Nongmei and others are behind him to protect him. In fact, Lori can't make a big wave, so facing the Luo Ge's defense, even if the outside shot is not good, Lori didn't dare to shoot too deep, but took 7 shots and 6 shots from the screen to make a three-pointer.

Therefore, Luo Ge can indeed restrain Lori.

It's just that Luo Ge has no system and no lock-in endurance. At the age of 37, it is indeed difficult for him to play more than 37 minutes in two consecutive games and still show a high level.

What's more, the problem between the Warriors and the Lakers is not a problem of Roger and Lowry.

This problem is comprehensive.

That is, except for Chen Xiao, the singles ability of other players is one level worse than that of the opposing Lakers players.

After Bryant turned this series into a singles, the Warriors, who were not as capable of singles as the Lakers, were worse anyway.

Even if Chen Xiao performed miraculously in three consecutive games, he was powerless.

A 38 game, a 26+23 game, a 41+16 game, to be honest, in these three games, Chen Xiao has done his best.

However, it still cannot affect the trend of the series and the situation of the game.

g3 lost, and the loser was still so temperamental, just when everyone thought the Warriors might really lose four games in a row.

G4, the Warriors beat the Lakers 125-115 at Staples, and tenaciously chased the big score to 2-2.

The reason why the Warriors can win this game is not because of other reasons. In this game, the head coach of the Warriors Cole took the initiative to change the team and replaced the starting lineup with Mitchell Robinson, Nongmei, Chen Xiao, and Kelai. and Ron Howard.

This change really disrupted the rhythm of the Lakers. The Warriors led by 12 points in the first half, 64-52.

The main reason is that the Lakers did not adapt to the Warriors' evolution in the first half. The combination of Mitchell and Thick Eyebrows was extremely strong, and Jokic and Siakam were greatly restricted.

Ron Howard, who came up against Lowry, also blocked Lowry's offense. In the whole game, Lowry made 4 of 13 and 2 of 9 three-pointers, playing the worst game of the series.

There is really no way to do this. The Warriors are so strong in the rim protection, and they use Ron Howard to seal him a three-pointer. Even if he knows that three-point shooting is not easy, Lowry can only bet on three-pointers, just like the Warriors in the previous two games. Team players.

It can only be said that such a change of the Warriors is not friendly to Jokic, Siakam and Lowry.

But it was quite friendly to Leonard and Paul George.

Because the Warriors' perimeter has become Chen Xiao, Kelai and Luo Ge, the movement speed of this defense is basically to ignore the buttocks, and the middle is empty.

Leonard scored 15 of 24 and 1 of 4 from three-pointers in this game. He scored 38 points with just one mid-range shot to break through a step or a mid-range shot around a screen.

And Paul George, in a similar way, scored 24 points in 10 of 18.

Leonard and Paul George combined for 62 points in this game.

In the third quarter, the two combined for 27 points, leading the Lakers to a 39-31 single-quarter score.

That is to say, the point difference in the first half is too large, otherwise the Lakers will find a way to change their formation against the Warriors in the third quarter, and the Lakers may be able to reverse this game.

To be honest, Kerr's evolution was originally a mix of water. It was a bit of a paper tiger and could only scare the halftime. The second half was not just the junction of Leonard and Paul George attacking the Warriors.

Jokic is also increasing his singles against Mitchell. Let's put it this way, no matter how strong Mitchell blocks, he is also a rookie. His defensive skills are not that good, and he is easy to be fouled and easy to be fouled. Being cheated, Jokic is one of the most capable centers in singles in the entire league right now.

Therefore, after this game, the danger of the Warriors is still not lifted.

But there is no doubt that such a change has made the gap between the Warriors and the Lakers not so big. It should be said that they have the strength to fight in the first battle.

G5, the Warriors lost to the Lakers 109-115 at home. In this game, Jokic made 6 of 17 and 3 of 11. The two shot very poorly.

However, the attack and containment of the two against Mitchell and Thick eyebrows created opportunities for the three perimeter players of the Lakers.

Lowry made 4 of 11, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and 17 points.

Leonard went 11 of 25, 5 of 8 from 3-point range and 8 of 9 free throws for 35 points.

Paul George was 10 of 24, 8 of 13 three-pointers, 7 of 10 free throws, 35 points.

Bryant and the Lakers' coaching staff intensified their offense on the Warriors' flank in this game.

The inside doesn't care about the hit rate, suppressing Mitchell and the thick eyebrows, and the outside uses the advantages of speed and movement to frantically impact the Warriors' three outside lines.

In this game, Lowry and Paul George and Leonard were almost either a shock or a three-pointer.

At this point, Paul George is particularly obvious, 10 of 24, 8 of 13 three-pointers, and 2 of 11 two-pointers. In this game, Paul George is the most rushing, even if he keeps hitting the iron after the impact, he is still rushing.

And the best impact belongs to Leonard. Leonard sent 9 assists in this game. Everyone knows that Leonard's passing is actually second-rate. He can score 9 assists in this game because of After he hits, he can brake, and after causing the Warriors to shrink, he can get the ball out.

In this game, the Lakers made 18 three-pointers and 31 free throws, and this is the home court of the Warriors.

It can be said that in this game, the boss and the Lakers have thoroughly penetrated the new evolution of the Warriors.

The Lakers didn't lose a lot in this game, but they almost didn't have a chance.

At this point, Kerr is actually very clear that this year's playoffs are over.

This series is out of the question.

If the Warriors still have their peak Chen Xiao, with Chen Xiao's mobility, the Warriors' defense will never be out of touch.

But now Chen Xiao's mobility can no longer connect the inside and outside of the Warriors.

And this is also the difference between the current Chen Xiao and the peak Chen Xiao.

The current Chen Xiao and the peak Chen Xiao still have a very strong dominance in the NBA, but the current Chen Xiao, really, can no longer play the five positions. Wherever the Warriors are short of people, they can also play first in the league. level.

Without Chen Xiao like this, the Warriors' ability to change has been greatly reduced and they have become better to deal with.

g6, the game returned to Staples. Although the Warriors were cornered, they still did not give up. Even in the first quarter, the Warriors had a head start in the away game and scored a surprise performance of 31-18 leading by 13 points in a single quarter. The surprise was that Wade and Roger were once again pulled into the starting lineup, and Chen Xiao returned to the center position again.

After the Warriors were gradually familiar with the Lakers, the Lakers still defeated the Warriors 110-106 in the end.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 4-2 at home and entered the finals.

After the game, the boss of Keke cried with excitement, just like the boss of Keke applauded himself back then. Although he lost the Western Conference Finals, Chen Xiao and the Warriors stayed to applaud the boss of Keke and the Lakers.

For a professional player, winning and losing is the most basic quality. The real professional quality is only reflected when you lose.

Whether it is Kobe or Chen Xiao, they are all people with this quality.

Therefore, although the series was lost, the Lakers fans still applauded Chen Xiao and the Warriors players, especially Chen Xiao.

In this series, Chen Xiao averaged 36 points, 18 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game, with a 55% shooting rate. This performance really shocked a lot of people.

With such a high intensity, this is a statistic that a 37-year-old player can produce?

The best performer on the Lakers is definitely Leonard. Leonard averaged 30 points, 10 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in this series, shooting 45% from the field and 35% from three-pointers. The last round was a cliff-like decline.

However, in this series, neither team's shooting rate was high. Except for Chen Xiao, the main player's shooting rate did not exceed 50%.

The Lakers shot 41 percent this series, while the Warriors shot 42 percent.

With Chen Xiao hitting such a high rate, the Warriors' hit rate is only 1% higher, and the 31% three-point shooting rate is 5% lower than the Lakers' 36%. This is the key.

Although Chen Xiao stands out among the two teams.

But under Chen Xiao, the strongest singles in this series are almost all Lakers players, which is the key to this series.

"This series shows that the Warriors, a system where all players have offensive ability, already belong to the Lakers."

Yes, in this system, whoever is stronger belongs to whom.

Now the Lakers are better than the Warriors.

Therefore, Kerr needs to continue to find a new tactical system for the Warriors.

On the other side, the Bucks also eliminated the Cavaliers 4-2 and entered the finals.

Lakers vs Bucks.

In the past 17 years, UU reading www. uukanshu.com nba finals for the second time without Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard.

"Is the Mitaka era finally over?!"

When all the shivering people ruled by Marquette's Mitsubishi wanted to be happy, they suddenly found out that the Bucks' Durant and Curry...

"They seem to be the second-generation Marquette Mitaka!"

Good guy, the old Marquette Mitsubishi is gone, and now the NBA has ushered in a new Marquette Mitsubishi!

Marquette Mitaka this whole thing is endless.

NBA shivered again.

It's just that obviously none of that matters to Curry, Durant or the Lakers like Leonard, Jokic and Paul George.

What matters is the championship!

In the past 17 years, the second championship does not belong to Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard!
