Chapter 561 Attitude
The rim at Staples Center was covered, denying Bryant his first interaction.

Basketball, bounce out of the box!

Bogut has a better position, jamming McGee behind him to prevent him from taking off, protecting the defensive rebound.

The Lakers fans were ready to shout for hours, and they shouted "defense" neatly at the beginning of the game to support the players.

Luke Wharton proposed to defend Xu Tian in a wheel-to-wheel battle, so he asked Iguodala to use the full-court tight man-to-man defense at the beginning of the game, trying to consume him.This is a tactic tailored by the Warriors for LeBron James, and it has to be used against Xu Tian in advance.

Xu Tian's passing skills are quite good, and his vision is extremely wide. He passed the ball to Kobe with both hands and asked him to dribble to the frontcourt.

Iguodala followed Xu Tian and started running, engaging in a smoke-free endurance competition.He is good at defending against the ball attack, not very good at dealing with this type of attack.

Steve Kerr stood on the sidelines, watching Kobe's movements intently to see if he was in the rhythm of the attack.He was a teammate with Jordan when he was a player, and he is somewhat familiar with Kobe's offensive moves, so he can tell whether he is in state or not.

Kobe advanced to the right side of the free throw line, played singles with the ball behind him, found the most familiar shooting rhythm, and turned over for a jumper.

The arc drawn by the basketball is high, but the strength is a bit weak. It hit the front of the basket and bounced back to midair.

Draymond Green grabs the defensive rebound, waits until the Lakers retreat to the backcourt, and hands the ball to Curry.

Xu Tian waited at the center line and defended Curry in advance, making it impossible for him to find an offensive rhythm.

Curry didn't expect to be able to break Xu Tian's defense with the ball, and passed the ball to Draymond Green, ready to start running without the ball.

Draymond Green faced Nance Jr. defensively at the top of the arc, holding the ball with both hands and observing his teammates' running positions.

Klay Thompson still had no expression on his face. With the help of Bogut's cover, he circled to the top of the arc on the right and received a pass from Draymond Green.

Kobe was still a little uncomfortable moving. He was the closest to Klay Thompson, but he failed to make up the defense in time and gave a small open space.For Klay Thompson, this kind of vacancy is basically equivalent to a big vacancy.

The basketball is pushed out, spins and flies into the air, attracting players on the court to watch it!
Swish!
0-3 (the Lakers score first)!

Barkley said: "This start should be the first time the Warriors have scored first in the last three games."

Kenny Smith said: "If I remember correctly, it should be like this. The Lakers were looking for McGee in the first few games, and they frequently scored inside."

McGee ran the baseline and passed the ball to Bryant for him to dribble upfield.

After two offensive rounds and one defensive round, Kobe knew that it was difficult for him to keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythm of the Western Conference Finals. During the advancement process, the question of how to launch an offense kept circling in his mind.This is a problem he must solve, and it is not easy to find a solution in a very short time.

George ran to the top of the arc without the ball, received a pass from Kobe, stood on the left side, and organized the team's offense.

Kobe looked at the direction of his teammates' running positions, and performed off-ball running in the way he was used to.He was a little unable to integrate into the system for a while, and almost blocked Xu Tian's running route.

Xu Tian turned around in an instant and ran in another direction, looking for space to attack.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, George didn't wait for his teammates to run out of the open space, dribbled the ball to break through, and accelerated to hit the penalty area.He wanted to draw a foul and help the team get the first point.

Draymond Green stood very well, holding the ball that George was holding when he hit the impact, and successfully blocked him.

The referee blew the whistle and sentenced George to a walking violation.

Seeing the referee's gesture, George was a little helpless, but he could only throw down the ball he was holding, turned around and began to retreat.

Curry received the serve, dribbled the ball across half court at a slow speed, and stood at the top of the arc, looking for space to make a shot.

Xu Tian was very tight, giving him enough physical confrontation, forcing him to choose a dribble breakthrough.

Curry's shooting rate in the penalty area is not inferior to that of inside players, and there is a great threat of breakthroughs, but giving him space from the outside line also poses a great danger.Two cups of poison, only one can be chosen.

Xu Tian's interference with the dribble helped him delay Curry's breakthrough speed and bought time for his teammates to form a defense.

Kobe's defense was in place, his body was against Curry, and his right arm was stretched out to defend.He has been selected to the All-Defensive Team consecutively, and given this intensity, there is no difficulty.

Curry dribbled for too long and continued to encounter physical confrontation, which made the Warriors' overall offense a bit stagnant, and all the open spaces that ran out were missed.Inadvertently, he was drawn into the Lakers' defensive encirclement.

Xu Tian, ​​Kobe, George, the three flanked and defended Curry, forming a net that covered the sky and the sun, directly blocking him in the middle.

Curry wanted to call a timeout, but as soon as his right hand left the basketball, he felt a huge force attached to it.Another second later, it was already in the hands of another person.

Xu Tian reacted very quickly. After completing the steal, he dribbled the ball and directly launched a counterattack.

Draymond Green had been paying attention to Xu Tian's movements, saw that he was about to pick up speed, rushed out laterally, and pushed him out with all his strength.

Xu Tian's core strength is quite strong. Caught off guard, he was disturbed by the horizontal force, but he still couldn't control his body and fell off the sideline.

The hot blood shot up instantly, causing him to immediately bounce off the floor, but another voice stopped him halfway, allowing him to calm down in an instant.

The referee saw clearly Draymond Green's actions just now, and temporarily did not let the Lakers serve the sideline ball, walked to the sidelines, and gathered together to discuss the foul just now.Decided to watch the replay of the video to determine the final penalty.

Draymond Green just wanted Xu Tian and his teammates to feel his attitude. Without thinking about the consequences, he stood with his hips on the sidelines and looked up at the slow-motion playback on the big screen in the venue.

Curry walked up to Draymond Green and said, "Pay attention to your emotions. This is an away game, which is good for the Lakers."

Draymond Green is not a reckless man. He knows what is best for the team and waits for the result quietly.

After deliberation, the three referees only gave Draymond Green a common foul amidst the boos of the fans.They think this is the Western Conference finals, and the viewing should be guaranteed to a greater extent.

Xu Tian received the serve in the backcourt, handed it to Kobe, and ran forward without the ball.He used to think that the playoffs would not be much different from the regular season, but after a long campaign, he realized that the charm of the playoffs is far greater than that of the regular season.

Kobe took the initiative to seek changes, calling for pick-and-rolls at the top of the arc, trying to start with some simple tactics, and strive to integrate into the system as soon as possible.

Xu Tian took cover from the bottom line and went to the right corner. Before he could catch the ball, he was pushed by Bogut again. His feet were unstable and he fell to the bench.
