The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 317: Protecting the Great Wall of Dragons!Put Staples on your feet!

After Dior singled out Kobe for a layup, the score on the field has changed to 14:4, and the Warriors lead by [-] points.

The Lakers only made 8 of 2 shots at the start, and the scenes of overflowing combat power were not seen much. On the contrary, the strength that should be on the books was not fully utilized.

After the timeout, Phil Jackson replaced Davis and Odom.

Fisher and Ariza debut.

As soon as these two excellent role players came out, the transfer of the ball became smooth for the Lakers.

Compared with Davis, although Fisher's personal ability is not comparable, he is undoubtedly "like a fish in water" in the triangle offense.

And Ariza doesn't need to hold the ball to perform like Odom.

Although his three-pointers are not stable enough, his defense is hard enough to bring a rare impact and vitality to this group of All-Stars.

Soon, Kobe, Gasol and Fisher scored again and again, and the Sharks also used the second attack inside to stir up the Warriors' defense.

With 3 minutes and 23 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, the Lakers turned the score into 19:23, only four points behind.

Among the 23 points scored by the Warriors, Zhang Bolong only contributed two points, making 4 of 1 shots and feeling average.

But he sent 5 assists.

When teammates can score smoothly, getting assists is also a very fulfilling thing.

Therefore, Zhang Bolong didn't make many shots from the outside, but channeled from the outside, using his own deterrence to constantly move and involve, helping other teammates get better opportunities.

At 1:41 in the first quarter, Trevor Ariza made a breakthrough, and the Lakers chased the score to 23:25.

The double-digit lead disappeared in front of the awakened Lakers.

So the gang boss stopped paddling.

After all, Staples was once his home stadium.

Curry's "staples debuff" in his previous life didn't work on him.

Holding the ball at the top of the arc, Zhang Bolong made a "1" gesture.

This is his most commonly used ace singles tactic, and it is also a double pick-and-roll called "The Great Wall of Dragon Protection" by the media.

Gasol Jr. and Diaw mentioned the three-point line near the top of the arc and the 45° angle on the right, respectively.

When Zhang Bolong dribbles to the right, Diaw is the first to come from the right side and set a false screen.

This screen does not seek quality. After blocking the defensive player, it withdraws to the left 45° outside the three-point line and prepares to shoot.

The real pick-and-roll is Gasol this time.

Diaw left after dismantling, and Gasol, who was defending him, had to choose to follow him closely, or go forward to defend Zhang Buron.

But if Zhang Bolong is switched to defense, Dior will immediately have an open opportunity on the outside.

Relying on Zhang Bolong's overall view, it is easy to pass the ball in place.

So Gasol also chose to bypass the pick-and-roll and continue with Diaw.

In this way, Zhang Bolong has a large space to shoot outside the three-point line.

Maybe the fans will have questions, how can the Lakers lack personal defense?
Where is Bynum against Marc Gasol?

Of course it is on the inside.

If Bynum dared to come out, it would be easier, and Zhang Bolong could directly break through and make a layup.

This trick is not unsolvable, as long as the opponent's center is not slow and reacts fast enough to make up for the gap in space, Zhang Bolong can only make a strong shot or reorganize.

But now the little shark is obviously half a beat slower.

After clearing the defense, Zhang Bolong directly joined the ball, took two steps and leaped high, throwing the ball with a slight back.

When it landed, it just stepped on the floor with "STAPLES CENTER".

In the dark, it seems to be announcing that the entire arena will be trampled underfoot.

His current shots basically don't care about the distance from the three-point line.

Rhythm is more important than distance.

The reason why Zhang Bolong scored 51 points against the Cavaliers was because the big Z on the opposite side was completely a living target, forcing Brown to even let James play the center...

"Boom!"

The basketball hit the back edge, hit the front again, and finally rolled into the net.

In a burst of home-like cheers, Zhang Bolong's signature three-pointer appeared to help the team stabilize the situation.

Bynum held the ball in singles, and after a gorgeous back luck, he even leaned back and shot. Of course, the basketball missed.

Bell slid back from the baseline, Xiaojia helped him delay Kobe's footsteps at the basket, Zhang Bolong's pass was just right in advance, and Bell caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Two rounds, 6:0 score.

This is where the Warriors are scary.

Kobe made a strong kill on the inside, broke through for a layup and scored 2+1, allowing the Lakers to slightly restrain the Warriors' offense.

But in the last round of the first quarter, Diaw assisted Gasol Jr. to catch Bynum's head, and the score between the two teams was fixed at 26:33.
The Warriors in the away game lead by seven points!

After the start of the second quarter, Ellis completed a steal against Kobe, dribbled forward and passed it to Harrington for a layup.

Immediately afterwards, Landry received Lowry's hit to the ground again, and the inside line flashed and moved, and then staged a split buckle.

The Warriors lead again to double digits.

Kobe began to take the initiative to ask for the ball, signaling his teammates to open up space.

In the double-teaming of the Warriors, Nao Ke made an extreme backward shot and scored the ball amidst the exclamation of the fans.

"You really are not tired!"

Zhang Bolong was sitting on the bench drinking Gatorade and yelling at Kobe. Before the opponent could make a bad face, the referee gave him a warning eye.

After playing the full first quarter, Bryant remained on the court in the second quarter.

The entire league knows that the moment when the Warriors come off the bench is the most impactful moment.

If you fail to withstand this period of time, it is likely to collapse directly.

In the next round, Kobe used the pick-and-roll to break through directly, flying Yulong 300 million, and dunking Biedrins who blocked the vertical jump.

The Lakers fans at the scene were silent for a long time, and finally burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

"Kobe, forever!"

"Go Lakers! Destroy the Golden State people!"

"Kobe, you have to score more points than Long, he's just your little brother!"

"Only those who defend seriously will be dunked, Andre, good job."

Among the many shouts, Zhang Bolong encouraged Biedrins who ran past him.

Andre returned a firm and grateful look.

The game passed minute by minute, and the Warriors' bench lineup played its best level.

Barnes and Harrington scored three-pointers each, Ellis achieved a daily spin top, Landry's offensive rebounds, Tucker's steals, Biedrins' blocks...

There is also the substitute brain who firmly controls the rhythm of the field and repeatedly sends wonderful passes, and Lowry, the core of the second team.

But the point difference was caught up little by little.

Because the Lakers have Kobe.

Unlike Reid against the Bucks, not to mention that Kobe is stronger on the offensive end, the "Black Mamba" with full firepower is still a top perimeter defender in the league.

Under his offense and defense, the Warriors' offensive efficiency remained quite satisfactory, but the Lakers' towers were bombarded everywhere.

Nagging made 11 of 6 shots in a single quarter and scored 16 points and 3 assists. Among them, the back pass to Gasol after the breakthrough was played in a loop on the big screen.
