NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 310 The Famous Elevator Door Tactic!

Wade also made a celebratory gesture, sticking out his tongue at Thompson: "Three-pointers? I will too!"

In fact, as a guard, Wade's three-point shooting rate can be described as better than nothing.

He has played in the NBA for more than ten years, and his three-point shooting percentage is not even 30%!That's hard for any defender to take.

What's more, now is the small ball era, even power forwards and centers are required to have three-point ability, and it is even worse for guards without three-pointers.

After joining the Lakers, in order to reduce Lin Tian's pressure on the offensive end, Wade has been working hard on three-pointers.

This season, he averaged 3 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage reached 35%, which is already the season with the highest three-point shooting percentage in his career.

It's just that Wade hasn't been proud for long, and Klay Thompson quickly responded with a three-pointer.

There are not many opportunities for Wade and Thompson to play singles.

What the fans are most concerned about is the matchup between Lin Tian and Durant.

Lin Tian still maintained the most efficient offensive efficiency, and used all his offensive methods in the face of Durant.

Whether it's a change of direction breakthrough, a step-back jumper, or a picturesque pull-up jumper, Durant is hard to guard against.

Durant this season is very strong on the offensive end, but he actually puts a lot of energy on the defensive end.

Durant is even currently in the top five on the block list!The threat on the defensive end can be seen!
It can be said that Durant of the Warriors, although his scoring has decreased, his overall strength has evolved and he has become more versatile!
There have been many wonderful shots of Durant this season, and this is just a small microcosm.

The evolution of the defensive end made Durant think that he could easily handle Lin Tian.

But after Lin Tian gained weight, his evolution was more obvious than Durant.

The simplest reason is that he can guard Durant, but Durant can't guard him!
Durant didn't believe in evil at first, and he didn't call Green to help him defend until Lin Tian scored more than 14 points in the first quarter.

The inside line began to become crowded, and Lin Tiancai increased his three-point shooting.

Throughout the first half, the two teams were on the bar in terms of three-point shooting, and the number of three-point shots was very high.

The Warriors' three-pointers were ridiculously accurate. They made 20 three-pointers in the first half and scored 12 of them, with a shooting percentage of over 50%!

The Lakers made 16 shots, but only scored 7, which is a level behind the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage.

Because of this, the Warriors maintained a 13-point advantage coming into the second half.

The half-time rest allowed everyone to recover a lot of physical strength, and the defense became more desperate.

The Warriors still insist on putting the focus of defense on the inside.

The Lakers are completely different from the Warriors. They mainly focus on the outside defensively.

Because the offensive firepower of the Warriors inside is indeed not as good as outside.

Lin Tian defended Durant very hard, making Durant's shooting rate not high today.

But the two points of Curry and Thompson are very difficult to deal with.

Under Cole's rather mature tactical system, Curry very frequently took three-pointers against Dellavedova.

The big difference between him and other shooters is that many sharpshooters in the league make three-pointers when they are open.

Curry's three-pointers rarely have open opportunities, but the hit rate is still terribly high.

And if Curry has an open shot, it will be a point for him.

Pachulia was replaced by Cole after four minutes in the third quarter.

Almighty fighter Iguoda is on the field, and the real Five of Death is here!
The Lakers did not make any substitutions, and still adopted the five starters who died head-on and died.

Durant changed from the third position to the fourth position, and the strong Iguodala was used to mark Lin Tian.

At this time, the Lakers had the ball. From the moment Howard sent the ball to Lin Tian from the baseline, Iguodala rushed over.

He only left Lin Tian a little room to dribble.

The rest of the Warriors, whether it was Curry or Durant, all followed their defenders closely, not daring to be careless for a second.

Lin Tian dribbled the ball across the half, and it was obvious that the Warriors' defensive strength had improved a lot.

He can only find Dellavedova to play pick and roll.

After Dellavedova set a screen for him, the Warriors chose to switch defenses and put Curry on Lin Tian.

At the same time, the Warriors quickly shrunk their defense, and Chasing Dream Green and Durant planned to wipe Curry's ass at any time.

In their lineup, Curry is the weakest on the defensive end, but Curry's defense is not bad.

Lin Tian pushed Curry to go inside.

Seeing that Curry couldn't stand it anymore, Chasing Dream Green could only move forward.

Lin Tian has quick eyes and hands and quickly passes the ball to pj Tucker! PJ Tucker caught the ball open and quickly made a three-pointer.

After the Warriors served, Lin Tian followed Durant, and at the same time he kept loudly directing his teammates to move.

The biggest feature of the Death Five is that they are fast, precise and ruthless. It is difficult for Tucker to guard against Durant, so it is best for him to defend.

Curry just passed half a circle, and several players on the Warriors side quickly ran tactics for Curry.

I saw Green standing at the free throw line first, and Thompson began to run.

After Curry passed the ball to Thompson, he quickly passed between Thompson and Green, and at the same time received a return pass from Thompson.

Dellavedova, who was following Curry, also wanted to pass between Green and Thompson, but was blocked by their bodies, delaying the defensive opportunity.

Curry has already run beyond the three-point line, and he throws the ball without much aim at the basket.

Swish!
Curry hit a three-pointer!Seeing the Lakers fans anxious.

Lin Tian also smiled bitterly, he was a little surprised that the Warriors would use the once famous "elevator door tactic."

This tactic was not even developed by Steve Kerr, but the masterpiece of former Warriors coach Jackson.

In recent seasons, the Warriors have rarely seen this tactic used.

This is not to say that the elevator door tactics are banned, but that the referee's whistle-blowing scale has changed.

The elevator door tactic is suspected of moving screens, and it is easy to be called a foul, so the Warriors basically don't use it now.

But once they are used, as long as they are not blown, there is basically no solution.

Playing the Lakers with their long-abandoned tactics, it can be seen that the Warriors are determined to win this game today.

After the Lakers served, Lin Tian singled Durant.

After he pretended to break through, he took a three-pointer with a step back, which caught Durant off guard, and the goal was also scored.

The ball returned to the Warriors again.

Curry took the lead to pass the ball this time, and then ran to the top of the arc.

After the elevator door tactics ran, when Curry received the ball at the top of the arc and was about to shoot, Lin Tian suddenly appeared!

Snapped!
This time, he quickly and decisively sent the racket flying, disrupting the Warriors' offense.
