I just play ball

Chapter 414 Unusual

Six p.m., Staples Center.

In the TNT commentary booth, Reggie Miller and Isiah Thomas looked at the camera, and Marvin Abbott began to read the script.

The long welcome speech was finished in no time, and Marvin turned to look at Miller: "What do you think the Warriors' odds are?"

"I think there is an [-]% chance of winning." Miller said, "They are another phenomenon. I carefully recall the history of the NBA I know. It seems that there has never been a team that played like the current Warriors. , Their starting point guard mainly plays off-ball tactics, but they scored the most points in the team, which is even weirder than the Lakers!"

"Also, the Warriors are very difficult to defend now." Thomas said, "It's not that they can easily score a lot of points, but it's difficult to stop them from scoring. The Lakers may be slightly better, but it's also difficult to achieve substantial suppression."

"You made me dizzy." Marvin shook his head and shrugged. "Ke mentioned in the interview before the game that he would personally defend Curry and show off some of his young skills. What kind of skills do you think it will be?"

"I know this." Miller rushed to say, "I have played against the young Kobe. He has the strength to defend his back, and he is very fast, but the most powerful thing is his pace. He often uses continuous small steps to force The man with the ball moves and pushes the ball into a desperate situation or into a trap, which consumes a lot of energy, but at that time he was not the core of the team's offense, and he had quite a lot of energy."

"Yes, yes." Thomas said, "As he has become the absolute core of the Lakers' offense, his defensive style has also changed. Breaking the press is rarely used, relying more on his strong game reading ability Drop his own players to participate in the team's pincer attack, and if he needs to return to defense, he can also run back quickly."

"That's a relatively rare defensive technique," Miller said. "It's not like Marion and Prince's long-arm interference, and it's not like Artest's low center of gravity to prevent the ball carrier from rushing by. The Spurs' Leonard is a bit like him when he was young. Leonard once said that the defensive skill is to keep standing in front of the ball holder. It sounds simple..."

"OK! Then let's see if Kobe's defensive strategy will be as the two said..."

inside the field.

The announcer shouted loudly, the lights focused on the Lakers bench, Kobe stood up and waved, and the audience cheered and applauded.

The three of Iguodala stood up immediately, and Li Yue finally stood up. The cheers in the arena were about to blow over the ceiling.

After a brief pause, the Mexican immigrant orchestra from San Diego appeared on stage to lead the singing of the national anthem.

Li Yue looked around and saw many big-name figures sitting on the sidelines or in the front row of the audience.

The one who impressed me the most was Will Ferrell, that guy made a movie called "Young Woman Killer", which tells the story of Will and two friends who get a magic shirt that allows them to talk to everyone they meet, including Any woman, including Hollywood female stars, has sex, but Will wants to use it to restore his relationship with his ex-wife, which is quite puzzling.

The national anthem ended quickly, the whistle sounded, and the referee reminded the players of the two teams to enter the field.

Starting comparison, point guard Kobe vs. Curry, shooting guard Iguodala vs. Thompson, small forward Li Yue vs. Barnes, power forward Landry vs. Green, center Davis vs. Bogut, coach D'Antoni vs. Kerr .

Bogut took the opening jump ball and the Warriors went first.

Curry dribbled the ball across the center line, raised his hand to Barnes at the top of the arc, ran straight to the bottom corner, and set a screen for Clay.

Barnes caught the ball and dribbled two steps, handed it to Bogut at 45 degrees on the right, strode to the elbow area, and got stuck with his back.

Li Yue pushed hard, and his left leg pressed against Barnes' knee, preventing him from easily exerting force.

Unexpectedly, Barnes withdrew immediately, then used Bogut to cover, and moved to the left along the free throw line.

Li Yue went directly behind Davis to intercept, but Bogut turned and passed the ball to Clay who ran to the top of the arc, and then stood on the fixed wall with both feet, successfully blocked Iguodala who wanted to chase, and cleared the right side half.

Seeing this situation, Li Yue suddenly realized that Barnes didn't want to fight at all just now, but just acted as a tactical bait.

While thinking about it, Clay rushed to the right wing with the ball, leaving Iguodala far away, with only 5 seconds left to catch it.

Davis switched defenses to catch up, and Clay suddenly stopped and moved laterally. With the interference of his long hands, he drifted and shot two points.

The difficulty is too great, only a few people master this kind of offense and defense, and the basketball hits the basket and falls.

Kobe picked it up in his hand and slowly pushed forward, and the audience shouted LETSGOLA in unison.

The Lakers gathered three people on the left side of the frontcourt to cover. Landry took the opportunity to rush along the baseline to the short corner on the right, put his back against Green, bent over to receive the pass from Kobe, turned back suddenly and rushed to the basket. With Green and Bogut forced to put the basket.

boom!Green pegboard hat.

The Warriors' bench stood up and cheered, Davis jumped high to grab the basketball, and made up again.

bass!The basketball was caught, 2 to 0.

Green picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds. Curry caught the ball and sprinted forward. As soon as he reached the center line, he suddenly raised his hand and made a long pass.

The basketball was lifted into the air like a rocket, and after flying for a long distance, it landed precisely in the reasonable impact zone, and Bogut just rushed there, raised his hand and borrowed it in his hand, kicked off the ground with force, and dunked gently with both hands.

"This is the speed of the Warriors!" Li Yue sighed in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Davis, who had just run to the free throw line.

Davis shook his head again and again, as if he didn't expect Bogut to run so well, and a single negligence would miss him.

On the other side, Kobe gritted his teeth and stared, as if he was angry that he didn't start defending Curry from the backcourt.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe dribbled the ball to the center line, turned and threw it to the top of the arc, then used Davis to cover, strode into the paint area, moved to the left corner, and Iguodala received the ball and distributed it to the left wing Landry, also rushing into the paint, moved to the right corner.

Seeing Kobe running towards him, Li Yue ran towards him and set up a human wall to prevent Curry from chasing him.

But as soon as the two met, Landry passed the ball to the free throw line. Where Davis stood, Bogut squatted in a reasonable collision zone.

To be honest, Davis's mid-range shooting ability is biased, but Bogut's wanton shorting must try to punish him.

The eyes of the crowd encouraged, Davis stepped up to take off and made a mid-range shot, the basketball hit the basket and rebounded high, and flew upside down to the free throw line.

The formations of the two teams were chaotic, and Kobe happened to go around the free throw line, bent down to catch it, and rushed to the top of the arc, with his back against Curry and Thompson's double-team, his eyes hinting at him.Iguodala understood, rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, bent his knees and squatted and waited.

Kobe immediately passed the ball with his back to the ground, and Iguodala received the ball with his hands raised high, and there was no defense three meters in front of him.

Barnes hurriedly moved laterally and stretched out his hand to interfere. Iguodala moved half a step laterally to avoid, turned and passed the ball to the right wing.

Li Yue caught it easily, prepared for a second calmly, ignored Barnes's lunge, and jumped up steadily to shoot.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 5 to 2.

Kobe yelled to return to the defense, and went straight to Curry. Li Yue and others ran with both legs.

The Warriors' desire for a fast break failed, and Curry slowly dribbled the ball forward.

"What do you two think of the Warriors' chances?" Marvin laughed. "The Lakers seem to be the better team."

"Don't worry, the game only lasts 70 seconds, we need to observe patiently." Miller said, "However, I just recalled the last game between the two teams. The Lakers relied on infinite singles to chase points. I wonder how the Warriors will do this time response."
