Chapter 1157 (1/2)
In the first quarter, the two teams played fiercely, and no one could defend them.
After sending on the inside line double tower, the warrior attack is super strong, and the ability to change defense, pick and roll becomes poor. In order to strengthen the outside defense, they replaced top pitcher Reddick and igordala seven minutes later.
Igordala has been playing dead in the regular season this year, hitting a career low in 26 minutes and data, averaging 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. After entering the playoffs, he came back to life, playing time increased to 31 minutes, with 9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4 assists, shooting percentage of 47.5%, 3-point shooting rate of 38.8%.
Some of his functions are not data based, he makes the ball work better and he also defends scorers.
The warriors' lineup is so luxurious, the substitutes are all former all stars. If igordala plays for a weak team, he has enough right to shoot, so it is not difficult for him to play 15 + 5 + 5. The 32 year old is physically fit to smash most of the swing players in the league. He can easily pick up a dunk when he counterattacks, and his strength is strong enough to resist many power forwards.
The attack of the Lakers is stronger. In the second half, Talon Lu replaced nurkic and hofford to cover together. Guo Xu ran to catch the ball and the warriors did not change defense fast enough.
Even if they change defense in place, there will still be dislocation opportunities, Guo Xu holding the ball can easily pass Nowitzki and Lopez, two people in addition to fouls can not stop him.
In the parallel world, Nowitzki in 2006 was unable to defend Wade even when he encountered the pick and roll. Ten years later, he faced Guo Xu, who was stronger than Wade at the peak, of course, he was even more vulnerable.
In the first quarter, Guo Xu made 6 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 of 3, 6 of 6 of 6 free throws, with 21 points and 5 assists. He led the Lakers 41-35 ahead.
Guo Xu does not rest in the second quarter, and the four rotation players are Booker, Josh Richardson, Robertson and nurkic.
This series as long as the Lakers are not much ahead of the garbage time, Guo Xu will be out of the game, he has no reservation, physical support down.
Guo Xu rest 6 minutes, maybe the final outcome is warriors win, the two sides of the reserve strength gap is obvious, the Lakers can not withstand. In the regular season, the coaching team tried to rotate and lost the second quarter in both games.
The Lakers lack a second point of attack, Booker, hofford and others can hold the ball, but can not get many points.
On the contrary, the warriors' lineup is too terrible. The rotation in the second quarter is Barbosa, Livingston, igordala, Nowitzki, and Gerbert. In order to strengthen the attack, green did not play again after being replaced in the first quarter.
Green is sitting very depressed off the court. He is in the peak period, but he has to share the playing time with veteran Nowitzki. He plays for a long time in the regular season. Nowitzki is more important in the playoffs.
In fact, the person who has the greatest influence on green is Gerbert, who is also a defensive player. Gerbert's talent is much better than that of green. The coach group prefers to cultivate people who shoot with their toes up and dunk under the basket.
After the end of the season, Gerbert and warriors 80% of the contract ahead of schedule, according to his performance, the total salary will not be less than 100 million dollars.
Green's position in the warriors will continue to decline. In the summer, he and Lopez must go one by one, otherwise the warrior's total salary is too high and he will have to pay a huge luxury tax.
In the parallel world, green is used because the warrior's interior depth is not enough. He is the only one who can rely on him. Earth one warrior Spitz as marginal man, Kevin Rooney even can't get into the roster. Rooney has only played 12 games in the regular season and has been developing League training.
In the face of the warriors' twin towers, tyronlu did not dare to send Boozer and Harrell to let Robertson guest star as the No.4 position master of Nowitzki. His mobility and confrontation were no problem, and Nowitzki rarely hit the basket.
As the game continued, Booker, Guo Xu and nurkiqi played a triangle attack on one side and continued to control the situation.
Goloshio, including the warriors, was not able to score 13 points. If the warriors are not covered, Guo Xu plays singles with the ball and swings up and down a middle shot or a breakthrough.
The warriors flanked Guo Xu. Guo Xu gave Booker a chance to score the ball. He put in a three-point shot, and once attracted a revolving defensive point. Yosh hit the three-point.
