Chapter 618 [Hanging and beating warriors, still tyrannical]

In the first quarter, the two sides attacked each other, and neither could defend the other, and the Lakers led 34-30.

兰多夫8投5中，砍下10分4篮板1助攻，是勇士第一功臣。

湖人发挥最好的是姚名, 8投5中，罚球2中2，砍下12分3篮板4助攻1盖帽。他后半段吸引了包夹，助攻波西和伊戈达拉投中了三分球。

Iguodala's performance was equally eye-catching, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter; plus Louis Williams, who scored 8 points, the Lakers' offensive end is still a trident.

In the second quarter, both sides were on the bench, and the Lakers immediately took the initiative. Brooks and Gibson formed a double guard, and the frontcourt was Dengtai Jones, Landry, and Lamar Odom.

This lineup is good at fast break. As long as a Warriors player misses a shot, at least three people will go down immediately. Lamar Odom is responsible for rebounding and a pass.

Dengtai Jones' shooting has improved this season, but the fast break is his specialty. He rushed up faster than Kobe, received a pass from Brooks, and staged a shocking dunk.

Defensive end Dengtai Jones can also play a role, limiting the physical strength of Maggette.He is active on defense and is not afraid of confrontation, so Yang Rui chose to reuse him instead of James Jones.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Dengtai Jones was not only brave, but also used shady tricks. In the 09 Western Conference Finals, he hit a black foot when Kobe broke through. ; Later in the Cavaliers, he also hugged Stephen Curry.

The Lakers can also guarantee the scoring efficiency in positional battles. Lamar Odom leads Turiaf out of the basket, and guards make breakthroughs or Landry's empty cuts, which all give the Warriors a headache.

The Warriors' lineup was flawed, and there was no good substitute at the 4th position. They brought in swingman Maggette to strengthen the offense and let go insider Al Harrington.Harrington's jumpers are too much, and it's a bit of a waste to play off the bench.

Seeing that the point difference widened to double digits, Hornacek made adjustments, let Richardson come back in advance, and let Maggette come back at No. 4, preventing the pick-and-roll and fighting small ball tactics.

After 6 minutes, Yang Rui adjusted and replaced Lou Wei to play double guards to speed up the attacking rhythm. Warriors backup shooting guard Anthony Morrow became a defensive weakness.

Morrow played 22.6 minutes in the regular season, averaging 10.1 points, 3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, while shooting 47.8% from the field and 46.7% from three-point range.

The reason why he lost the draft was because the defense was too poor, and it was difficult to defend Lu Wei and Brooks to break through. After the game, the Warriors' three-pointers will get worse again.

In this quarter, the difference opened, and the two teams continued to fight in the second half, and the Lakers steadily controlled the situation.

Experts were stunned. The Lakers' overall offense not only did not weaken because of Kobe's absence, but became stronger. They scored 100 points in three quarters and led 100 to 82.

Yang Rui's tactics were adjusted according to the Warriors' lineup.

When Hornacek sent Richardson, Azubuike, and Maggette on the court, Yang Rui would let three swingmen, Iguodala, Posey, and Denty Jones be in charge of defense, fight against them, and focus on offense In the paint, he was hung up on Yao Ming to play.

Once the Warriors send double guards Conley, CJ Watson, or Morrow, who has poor confrontation and average physical fitness, Yang Rui will send double guards Lu Wei and Xiaobu to fight back at full speed and pick and roll in positional warfare.Even if the counterattack cannot suppress the opponent, the combination of internal and external positional warfare can also score goals.

At the end of the quarter, Randolph went off to rest. Yang Rui arranged for Brooks and Yao Ming to play a pick-and-roll to attack Lopez. Xiao Bu passed Lopez over and over again, which damaged the self-confidence of the rookie big man.Conley chased after Xiaobu with all his strength, the ball was passed to the middle, Yao Ming could catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer, Lopez took care of this and missed the other, and it was too late to save to interfere with the shot.

After 5 minutes, the difference between the two sides was 26 points, and it entered garbage time.

Yang Rui replaced all the main players, exercised the rookies in garbage time, and let DJ White and Landry play, with James Jones, Duntai Jones and Brooks on the outside.

The Warriors also replaced the full bench, which did not take any advantage.

In the end, the Lakers won 131 to 101, and the victory made the playoffs a good start.

Brooks scored the most for the Lakers and felt hot. After playing 34 minutes, he made 20 of 13 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 33 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

伊戈达拉18投10中，三分球5中2，罚球8中6，得到28分3篮板4助攻。

姚名下半场手感下降，17投9中，三分球4中1，罚球7中7，得到26分13篮板7助攻2盖帽。

In addition, Lou Wei, Lamar Odom, and Dundee Jones also scored in double figures, and their shooting percentages were very high.

Millsap didn't perform well against Randolph in the first game, and most of his energy was put on the defensive end, but the team scored a lot of points, and it didn't matter if he scored less.

Zhang Lili couldn't believe it: "Kobe didn't play, the Lakers still have the offensive trident, and the role players are doing too well."

Yu Jia said: "When Kobe was there, he and Yao Ming scored more points. Four of the team scored in double figures in the regular season, and the two guards didn't do much. Now the Lakers' two small guards are playing like an All-Star."

At the press conference, Hornacek congratulated Yang Rui and faced the defeat calmly. "We just finished rebuilding this season, and it has been very successful to be seventh in the Western Conference. We have many young players and lack experience in the playoffs. It's not a shame to lose to the Lakers who have entered the finals for four consecutive years."

The reporter asked: "Which aspect of the team do you think needs to be strengthened the most?"

"The defense needs to be strengthened the most, but it's not an easy task." Hornacek smiled wryly.

The Warriors' defense is terrible. This season, they are averaging 108.6 points per game, ranking third in the league.The only player in the team who is good at defending is Turiaf. Unless he signs in the summer, there is really no way to solve it.

The reporter interviewed Yang Rui and asked: "The Lakers won the first game, but without the star, will you have a lot of pressure?"

Yang Rui said confidently: "The pressure is definitely on the opponent. My team never considers whether or not to advance to the first round. The first round is usually a sweep. Jeff and I are very good friends, it's not that I don't. Give him face, the reality is so cruel. I have never missed the Western Conference finals, and when the Western Conference finals, you can ask me if there is any pressure."

Another reporter asked: "So what do you think the loss of Kobe will do to the Lakers?"

"There must be an impact. What it is, let's leave it to fans and basketball experts. What I have to do now is to lead the team to win the championship." Yang Rui smiled.

Yang Rui will give Kobe some of the punishment he deserves, but he won't get in trouble.Now that Kobe has taken a break, he doesn't need to speak ill of him to the media, which is to harm others and not himself.

As for someone citing Kobe's data in the future, or if there is no data on the Lakers players after Kobe, it will cause scolding on the Internet, then it is not Yang Rui's business.He could not hack Kobe, but he couldn't stop Kobe from being hacked, because it was too easy.

Who can not column data ah?It's not difficult at all, or why would someone always use "low-level" to describe Kehei?
After reading the data, I came up with various tricks to wash the ground for idols. If one thing sucks, it can be explained as "advanced" talents who "make the most of the profit". They not only have to fight the enemy, but also hypnotize themselves. ...

In any case, the current Lakers are still strong.
