Durant made a layup break through the basket and then scored, which was really entering the "God of Death" state.

But when I turned around, it was Knight again. This time, he moved to the bottom corner and received a pass from Fernandez to hit a three-pointer!

In the Lakers' healthy competition, Knight and Butler's outside shooting levels have improved greatly!

This time, Lambis could no longer hold back his excitement and stood up from the bench and waved his hand excitedly.

First there is Millsap and then Knight. The performance of the Lakers role player tonight has met the requirements he had in his heart for the first time.

And after sitting down, he also looked at Harris with gratitude.

Facts have proved that his theory is correct, but there are also certain deviations, that is, relying solely on role players is indeed embarrassing the great task.

It was Harris who fixed this deviation, leaving an absolute core to restrain the game, and the role players will become daring to fight!

In fact, when you really realize this, you will find that it seems easy to think of it!

But in fact, many things in life are not the same? This is why the remarks of "the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear".

After the first quarter, the difference in the score on the field was.

The score difference is still 6 points, but in fact the situation on both sides of the field is completely different.

For the Warriors, they rely on Durant to continuously hit the inside to maintain the score difference;

But for the Lakers, Sun Hao was in a "shopping" state on the court in the next few rounds, and it was his teammate's outstanding performance that allowed the team to maintain the score difference.

The most direct result of this subtle difference is that although both sides have cores left on the field, the consumption on the field is different.

This also indirectly reached the situation that Lambis expected.

Because his ultimate goal of giving character players more ball rights before is to reduce the effect of dual cores on the court.

Now this is a different destination, and it is obviously more in line with the needs of the competition.

So it seems that the score has not changed, but the difference comes out in the second quarter.

After the main players of both sides returned, the Lakers' physical fitness was obviously more sufficient than the Warriors.

This advantage will not be too obvious in normal games, but it will become different in this even match tonight.

It’s like when a balance is balanced, even if you add even the smallest weight to one end, it will make the balance obviously tilt to one side.

The result was that the Lakers played an 11-2 offensive before the end of the half, and expanded the lead by 11 points at the end of the half!

Such a showdown also made Barkley smile in the commentator, and he was thinking about how to take revenge on O'Neal.

O'Neal had done him badly on the show before.

Of course, although the difference between 11 points is quite large, it is still far from the point where you can decide the winner.

For small teams like the Warriors, 11 points are not enough to catch up if they really play.

The Lakers also know this very well, so during the break, Harris kept emphasizing the focus issue at the beginning of the halftime.

"This is a game that you can't afford to lose. Show your 120% concentration."

Harris didn't say it, but this was the best reminder.

If they lose this Christmas battle carelessly, they will send Lambis away from the team!

It turns out that Harris' reminders are timely and effective.

After returning from the second half, the Warriors obviously accelerated the pace of the game.

At this time, the Warriors chose the same approach as the previous Bulls. When they were behind, they needed to speed up to catch up and overtake the score.

But old Nelson soon discovered that the Lakers were not normal.

With a double-digit lead, the Lakers did not show any sign of underestimating the enemy, but instead played more focused than the first half.

Focus means the success rate of positional warfare. It is actually difficult for the pace of the field to get faster when ensuring the success rate.

Moreover, the difference between Curry and Sun Hao is also reflected. At this time, he has not been able to forcefully speed up with his powerful ultra-long-distance scoring ability.

So the Warriors feel like someone who is sitting on a bus and is anxious to be late to work, but it is completely up to them to decide whether they can catch up.

Fortunately, Durant continued his "death state" in the first half, and in this quarter, the Warriors still bit the score.

The end of the three sections,.

With a 15-point difference, the possibility of the Lakers winning this Christmas battle is getting bigger little by little.

Especially at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' substitute group became more and more exciting, and soon opened the score to 20 points.

"Shake, what's your favorite joke?"

Barkley finally couldn't help but feel proud at this time.

"beep!"

At this moment, a short whistle came from the sidelines.

Old Nelson replaced most of the main players in advance.

This was the Warriors' forced substitution adjustment, but at this moment everyone noticed the Warriors' lineup.

Curry, Thompson, Danny Green, Durant, Ibaka.

After more than three quarters, the Warriors' "Death Five" that many fans are looking forward to finally come!

This wave of five small numbers came much later than expected.

However, this time it wasn't that Old Nelson deliberately left his ultimate move behind like he had hit the Knicks before, but that he also had some concerns.

What he was concerned about was naturally Yao Ming.

Yao Ming showed his state at the beginning, if Ibaka really matched him in the inside, it would be easy to be exposed.

So from a certain perspective, Old Nelson is hiding from Yao Ming to substitution.

However, at this time, Harris' judgment showed some deviations. He did not replace the main force immediately, but instead kept the substitute who performed well on the court.

His idea should be the same as in the last few minutes of the first quarter, and he wanted to use the substitute to consume the Warriors' main players, so that when the Lakers' main players come back, they can take the game in one wave.

But he ignored one thing. The Warriors were on the court at this time, the Death Five Little Little Team of the main lineup, which is essentially different from the lineup in the second half of the first quarter!

The result was that before Harris reacted, the Warriors launched a lightning-thrilling offensive.

Curry's three-pointer from the outside, Ibaka's blocking Gadurant's three-pointer, and Thompson took another three-pointer from Curry's pass!

When Harris realized something was wrong, the difference between 20 points was almost the same as the single digits!

Harris reached out and called for a pause, Staples' center was restless.

In contrast, there was a cheer on the Warriors' bench.

Death Five Little One, the magical lineup developed by old Nelson, has made them turn the tide countless times in the past.

In this game where they can't afford to lose, it was proven again!

However, Old Nelson's expression was not as happy as his players at this time. He looked at the Lakers from time to time when he was setting up tactics.

When the time was about to come, when he saw Yao Ming being replaced, he brought the players together and emphasized the issue of tactical execution.

In fact, it was not just Old Nelson, but O'Neal didn't take the opportunity to fight back at Barkley at this time, and he was also staring at the field intently.

No matter how intense the game was played in the first three quarters, it was actually a test, because before the Warriors made a real death five-small showdown, the real match between the big ball and the small ball had not yet come.

So this part is the most interesting part of this Christmas battle tonight.

Similarly, it was also his more nervous part.

"beep!"

The timeout comes back, Lakers, Sun Hao, Butler, Carter, Millsap, and Yao Ming.

This is the pure lineup of the Lakers.

Because Millsap has an outside range, you can also understand him as one big and four small to a certain extent, but in essence it is still a big ball.

The real showdown moment has begun!

Come up with the Lakers' offensive round.

The Lakers' style of playing is still the same as before, with a triangular attack, pulling the wings wide and starting at low posts.

And this choice is the most correct one.

There is no real center in the Warriors' five small lineup, and Yao Ming has an absolute advantage in the inside.

In the first round, the Warriors' assisted defense was not fast enough. Yao Ming seized the opportunity and turned around and slashed Huashan on top of Ibaka's head and smashed the ball in!

This ball may not be deducted, but it is very necessary.

The simplest and most brutal point is that the ball is detonated, and the suppressed mood in front of Staples' center was immediately vented because of the point being chased.

Amid the overwhelming cheers of fans at the scene, Sun Hao took the initiative to slap Yao Ming while retreating.

This shows that Sun Hao also agrees with Yao Ming’s offensive choice just now.

In fact, as a member of the fifth small group, he knew very well what this lineup was most afraid of.

Theoretically, three-pointers are always one more point than two points. As long as you make an offensive end, the small ball tactics are better than the big ball.
