820 Warriors' Knife
Chamberlain's pass and Ibaka's dunk opened up a new situation for the Warriors.
Chamberlain's command and support capabilities in the inside have not been fully developed. One is that it is unnecessary. If a powerful general who can charge into battle and directly destroy the enemy's positions, there is no need to be the commander in charge of the central army.
Second, it is not suitable. Compared with passing, it is obviously more exciting to score with dunks, so Chamberlain rarely passes the ball. In addition, compared with Billups Curry and others, although his vision is wider, his consciousness is much worse.
But old Nelson quickly found a balance point, and he immediately called the timeout, called the players to his side and said, "Listen to me, kids, we have a way to beat Los Angeles people simply, come and listen to me."
"It is not suitable for passing the ball that takes the overall situation, so we don't let him be the inside pass machine anymore. After you get the ball, you pull it away to the left or right wing, and Ibaka and Blair are ready to cut the ball."
"In this way, if you are double-teamed, he can pass the ball to the person who cuts the ball at close range, and that person attacks the ring or passes the ball again. If they let the sideways go, then they will suffer. Yes, you can use the shooting and hook to teach them a lesson"
"Do you understand? Small-scale cooperation, large-scale killing"
Chamberlain nodded and said, "I understand, this is very simple. If I have a feint attack, someone will cut the attack with a strong attack. If I have a strong attack, others will open up and leave space for me."
Old Nelson made the final decision and said, "That's it."
After the Warriors played this new tactic, the game became much easier.
Although the beginning of the running-in was a bit difficult, West took the lead in cutting the layup, but Gasol, who was back to defend, slapped the ball away with a slap.
Old Nelson shouted: "You don't pull the distance from the outside to make a turret, your horizontal movement is too slow."
Chamberlain licked his lips, and after he was about to get the ball in the inside, he was like a sports car. With a whistle, he twisted his waist and moved to the right wing of the basket ring. Mbenga was naturally attracted, and Gasol had to go forward to double-team.
It was still Ibaka, who ran in the opposite direction with Gasol. Chamberlain found a gap and passed the ball to him. Ibaka jumped up again and made a heavy drop.
After making Ibaka dunk twice in a row, the Zen master felt something was wrong.
What's even more wrong is that after Gasol was led away by Chamberlain again, Artest made a smart move to defend Ibaka. Chamberlain passed the ball to Blair who cut the ball. The latter's basic skills were as solid as Ibaka. He didn't need to dunk and shot at close range was extremely accurate.
On the offensive end, Chamberlain's small-scale transfer made the Lakers helpless. On the defensive end, their iron barrel-like defense line even suffocated the Lakers' players.
After the first quarter, the Warriors led by 10 points with 322.
In the live broadcast room, Barkley smiled very gloating, saying: "What kind of defense is the Lakers? How many points did they give the Warriors? Is this the Western Conference Finals? No, it's not the preseason, only the preseason will play such a score."
Smith said a fair word: "Although Bynum is not ranked in the Lakers, he is just the third leader behind Kobe and Gasol - well, considering Artest's outstanding contribution in the playoffs, he may have to go back. Well, to be honest, if Odom can concentrate, he will be the fifth person of the Lakers..."
"What exactly do you want to say, man, did you get Alzheimer's disease in advance?" Barkley seized the opportunity and mocked the partner.
Smith glared at him and said, "I mean, in the eyes of many people, Bynum is not at a high position in the Lakers, but in fact, he has helped the Lakers very much on the defensive end. Without him, the Lakers' defense lacks strength and weight, and becomes a rootless grass."
The Zen master naturally understood this truth better, but since Bynum applied an ice bag on his knee, he looked like he was remarried by his father and mother. The Zen master dared not conclude that he was making a big fuss, so he could only let him continue to sit on the bench.
If Bynum is injured and Chamberlain is fierce again, once Bynum is caused by problems, the Lakers will not be able to take it.
Old Nelson was deeply satisfied with the Lakers' condition. He said: "I just learned a Chinese saying recently, "I just wanted your life while you are sick. Now they are not strong inside, so we will focus on their inside to lose these bitches."
After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers wanted to fight back, and Kobe broke through and rushed into the basket to play a 2I, and ended up falling into the double-team between Chamberlain and Jackson.
Kobe had to pass the ball, but was intercepted by West who was prepared in the middle. The Warriors moved forward quickly, but Chamberlain still took the ball from the inside, and then turned around and moved horizontally to the basket.
Gasol did not dare to go to double-team unscrupulously, but instead stared at Ibaka.
Now, there was only one person left in front of Chamberlain, Mbenga.
Mbenga's pace was too slow. After Chamberlain moved sideways, he could keep up, but then Chamberlain turned sideways and cut into the basket. Mbenga hurriedly retreated, and Chamberlain also retreated. After taking steps, he opened up the space, jumped up and shook his wrist, and scored two points.
Kobe arrived at the frontcourt, and after getting the ball, he simply split up. He is worthy of being the number one killing machine on the outside of the league. Even though Jackson's blockage covered his face, Kobe still sent the ball into the ring.
With a three-pointer, the Lakers' momentum has increased a lot.
The Warriors quickly changed the pace. This time they thought Chamberlain would use the same trick again, but he helped West cover at a high position, blocked Kobe and rushed into the basket after following West.
West led Gasol away and handed Mbenga over to Chamberlain, then threw the ball into the ring.
Chamberlain shouted and soared into the air. He jumped up at the basket to catch the ball, dunking his hands like a dry land, which greatly hit the Lakers' morale.
However, the Lakers are the Western Conference overlords after all, and they did not lose their position because of this. Kobe's one-stop breakthrough gave the Warriors a headache and caused Chamberlain to make a defensive foul. After hitting the extra free throw, Kobe, who scored 2l, refused to give up. Then he cut Curry's ball and guided the offense to make an easy layup with one-stop.
These two attacks are extremely beautiful, and even the Warriors fans who are opponents can't help but applaud.
The Warriors' counterattack quickly came. Chamberlain turned his back to Mbenga at the basket and wanted to get the ball. Gasol stepped forward and double-teamed. Chamberlain glanced at Blair who was cutting in at a free throw. Gasol could only shout, "Switch defense and run to block Blair."
At this moment, Chamberlain quickly stepped out, and Mbenga rushed to follow. As soon as the two started, Chamberlain's feet quickly changed their steps. His slender body rotated around like a phantom, and then rushed to the basket with Mbenga.
It's that simple to rise up and break through the dunk
The Lakers had no power to fight back at the beginning, only the ability to resist. With B minutes left in the second quarter, the Zen master could no longer sit still and asked for a timeout to start setting up tactics. He had to set up tactics for Kobe, because according to the current situation, Kobe only has the advantage in the Lakers.
After the timeout, the Lakers first strengthened the inside offense. The Zen master still didn't give up and wanted to try whether he could use Gasol's point to open it.
As soon as Gasol took action, Chamberlain got a big hat in front of him
The Zen master immediately gave up and told his disciples with gestures to fight Kobe safely.
Kobe missed a mid-range shot, Chamberlain singled Mbenga. He hit him back, then used a mysterious step, dribbling the ball under his crotch in the top arc of the penalty area to make a major change of direction, shook Mbenga into the basket and cut back and layup.
On the outside, West and Curry's shooting were everywhere, and the two kept covering each other, but at the last moment, Curry passed the ball to the inside.
Chamberlain lived up to expectations and forced a layup after receiving the ball. After causing Mbenga to foul, he successfully scored 2fI
The bigger the Warriors are, the more excited they are, and they will widen the score to 49-4
However, Kobe then came two consecutive chasing points, and the Warriors' team was in chaos for a while.
Kobe wanted to take the opportunity to break through and make a layup again, Chamberlain followed in quietly. At the moment Kobe finally jumped, he also flew up and nailed the ball that Kobe shot directly to the rebound, with a big hat.
Kobe's terrifying score and Gasol's sometimes unstoppable jump shot helped the Lakers to slightly recover the score, but with his experienced defense and sharp offense, the Warriors still held their lead and stable at around 15 points.
With 2 minutes left in the second quarter, Old Nelson called a timeout and arranged for three veterans Iverson, Hill and Evans to play, replacing Curry, Jackson and Chamberlain.
When Chamberlain was not here, the Lakers immediately felt that the air was much fresher. Kobe was only short of shouting, "The sky when Buron was not here is a clear day, and the air when Chamberlain was not here is so fresh."
Taking advantage of Chamberlain's defeat, Kobe and Gasol attacked the inside line one after another. Their breakthroughs made Evans and Ibaka's defenses riddled.
However, the physically energetic Iverson and the old demon-like Hill are not easy to mess with. They broke through and made a layup and a three-pointer. At the end of the first half, they helped the Warriors continue to maintain a double-digit lead.
During the halftime break, after the Lakers entered the locker room, they urgently performed an X-ray for Bynum. The examination found that there was nothing wrong with his knees. The Zen master stomped his feet with ruthlessness, and he was worried about Bynum's whining and playing for me in the second half.
After Bynum came on the court, he wanted to show himself well, because now in the hearts of Zen Master and Kobe, he was just a fraudulent injury, which made him very wronged. In fact, his knees stumbled on the floor when they landed on the ground, which really hurts.
Taking advantage of Kobe's breakthrough to pass the ball, Bynum wanted to dunk after the start of the game, but he jumped together. Chamberlain, who was previously led by Kobe, went downstairs to the tigers, roared and killed them back, and slapped the ball down with a slap.
Another big hat
Although this is the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, the Warriors' penalty area still makes the Lakers helpless. Chamberlain's dominance in the no-fly zone made Magic Johnson, a hero of the Lakers, have to sigh and praise.
The offensive end of the game kept the Warriors' mentality relaxed. Iverson continuously assisted Chamberlain and Curry, and Chamberlain's dominance in the inside was as strong as ever, and Curry's feel was amazing, and he hit it continuously.
The Lakers found the loophole of the Warriors, that is, the outside height, Kobe frequently stopped and jumped shots, scoring continuously.
But although they found a touch on the offense, the defensive end still could not curb Iverson's threading and Chamberlain's domineering madness.
With five minutes left in the third quarter, Curry made two consecutive three-pointers in a daze, helping the Warriors pull the lead to 6 points.
In this situation, the deeply frustrated Lakers fans chose to leave the court without hesitation. The stars were still on the sidelines, but they were obviously not watching the game, but communicating with each other and treating the arena as a social scene.
Shortly after that, Iverson successfully scored two doubles, passing Chamberlain for the 10th assist, who made a dunk. The Lakers' inside defense was like a broken dam under the impact of a flood, and it was about to collapse.
Before the end of the third quarter, the Lakers made a final counterattack, but this counterattack only relied on Kobe's power. He turned into a killer and stubbornly rushed into the Warriors' defense circle many times to make a jump shot. Although there were many iron shots, he at least scored some points for the Lakers, helping the Purple Gold nobles maintain their final dignity.
The Lakers' problem lies with Bynum. After being injured by Chamberlain, he faced the latter again. His psychological pressure was huge and his defense line was useless. Whenever Chamberlain turned around and attacked for a strong attack, he would cooperate to retreat.
