Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 346

"Magic drives the ball up the court, passes it to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, throws the ball back to Magic, and oh my god, Magic makes a nice no-look pass to Green at the basket, Green made a strong layup, the ball went in! The whistle sounded! AAAAAnd one! Green caused Rodman's thug foul!"

The Lakers live commentator Chick Hearn, his commentary is still so passionate, not at all like an old man in his 70s. Under his commentary, the atmosphere of the scene was completely detonated.

Of course, this kind of scene cannot be controlled by Hearn alone. It is really that the Lakers fans have been suppressed for a long time. After losing two consecutive games, they can't find a reason to cheer for the Lakers. Couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

Now, finally have the chance to feel proud, how can we not let them have a good time?

The Lakers played really well tonight. The Warriors' offense was completely restricted by the Lakers, and the rebound protection was also in place. The most important thing is that the Lakers' fast break was fully played out.

In fact, the Lakers have many singles players, such as Worthy, Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, etc., but these people are not pure singles players, expecting them to rely on singles to score dozens of points in a game to lead the team to reverse, this kind of There are things, but that is only a rare case, and it is by no means the main tactic of the Lakers.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar may have been, but as he got older, the incomprehensible scorer even rarely used the iconic offensive move of the "sky hook". Do you play singles more than a dozen times in a game?
Therefore, the Lakers rely more on fast breaks and counterattacks in their offense, especially Magic Johnson's ability to forcibly push back counterattacks is the world's number one.

But once they fall into a positional battle, their offensive power will be greatly reduced. Although they can still score, they will not have the "showtime" style of the Lakers.

This is also the reason why the Lakers did not play well in the first two games. It seems to be an offensive problem, but it is actually a defensive problem. Because the Warriors have a high shooting rate and quickly retreat after scoring, the Lakers lack the soil to push back.

In this game, the Warriors' outside shooting percentage was not high, and most of the rebounds were long rebounds, which made the Warriors' advantage of rushing to grab offensive rebounds from the inside unable to be brought into play.

On the front line, the Lakers' rebounding ability is better than that of the Warriors. Therefore, the Lakers got a lot of fast break opportunities and allowed the Lakers to find their own rhythm.

Fortunately, in this quarter, it was still Ma Long, the warrior's pinnacle, who stood up and played Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with ease, dragging the entire team forward.

As for Li Weisi, he was still double-teamed as long as he got the ball, and Li Weisi was not given a chance to make a move at all.

In this way, in the second quarter, the two teams scored 30:32 in a single quarter, and the Warriors scored 48:59 at halftime, 11 points behind the Lakers.

After entering the second half, the Warriors' outside feel still hadn't recovered, and the Lakers became more and more confident and bold to shrink the inside line. For a while, Malone also began to face tremendous pressure on the offensive end.

First of all, when Malone received the ball, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was 10 centimeters taller than Malone, and his wingspan was also stronger than Malone. Therefore, when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used the forward defense against Malone, it was definitely a bug.

Generally, defense around the front is a forced defense strategy adopted when the offensive side is too strong and can't defend at all only by defending behind.

This is because defending around the front is not only very energy-consuming, but also easier to foul. In addition, the effect is not good. As long as the offensive team transmits the ball to the flank first, or the center forward who is circled forward is more agile, through counter-running, etc. It is possible to crack the defense around the front.

And once the defense around the front fails to be effective, it will inevitably lead to loss of position and loss of points, because once the person behind gets the ball at this time, it will be facing an empty basket.

But tonight, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar suddenly used a forward defense against Malone in the third quarter, taking huge risks, but reaping miraculous results.

I saw him sitting on Ma Long's lap with his buttocks, his body tightly pressed against Ma Long, and his arms spread out, completely blocking Ma Long's figure behind him.

Such a large area of ​​​​blocked area made it impossible for the Warriors to get the ball in, and Li Weisi continued to be targeted. The offense could only be completed by Mullin and Curry.

Although Mullin can play singles, his efficiency against Worthy is not high. He hit the iron for two consecutive rounds, and was caught by the Lakers again and counterattacked.

In this way, the Lakers successfully played a familiar wave in the third quarter. At the highest point this time, the point difference has been opened to 20 points.

After that, Li Weisi finally got a shot from outside the three-point line through running and several consecutive pick-and-rolls without the ball. This time, he also seized the opportunity and successfully hit a three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 20 again. within minutes.

Seeing this situation, Scott panted heavily, with his hands on his hips, looking at the same panting but firm-eyed thin figure in front of him, Scott felt admiration in his heart.

For a whole night, facing myself and Cooper taking turns to take care of each other, the three of them spent their physical strength and energy on constant entanglement and confrontation, but even so, as long as he was given a little chance, Will be caught by Li Weisi and hit the shot.

This guy is really terrifying, like a silent assassin, hiding under the calm at any time, giving you a fatal blow when you relax.

Li Weisi's goal ushered in Riley's dissatisfaction on the sidelines. He yelled at Scott on the sidelines: "What are you doing? Byron! Give me someone who is optimistic about you, even if it is a midfielder, as long as he gets the ball I double-team it!"

Midfield double team?Anyone who hears this will think that the other party is joking!

But Scott knew that Riley was serious, and he really meant to do it.

In this regard, Scott of course chose to be obedient, because he also felt that Li Weisi could score goals even in midfield.

So, even though Li Weisi hit a three-pointer to stop the bleeding, what he got in return was a tighter defense by the Lakers.

In this way, by the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were 70:89, 19 points behind the Lakers.

In the fourth quarter, although the Warriors regained some touch, the Lakers still held on to the score and did not give the Warriors the slightest chance to catch up with the score. In this way, the Lakers beat the Warriors 123:101 at home and pulled back. .

The Lakers still scored in double figures with all five starters, and Worthy scored a Lakers-high 30 points.

For the Warriors, Ma Long scored a team-high 28 points and 13 rebounds. Li Weisi only got 11 shots in this game, but hit 8 goals and scored 16 points and 8 assists.

But with such data, there is no way for him to help the team win like the last game.
