Chapter 16 016: Caron Butler Breaks Out

016: Caron Butler Breaks Out

Perhaps because of Qin Tao's words of appreciation, Butler's concentration on the court reached an unprecedented level.Dunleavy was blocked by Butler, and there was no chance to comfortably hold the ball, let alone shoot.

Kobe also seemed to be excited about playing. He continuously broke through and caused damage to the inside of the Warriors. The old Foyer couldn't stop the joint impact of Kobe and Butler at all. He was replaced for two fouls after 4 minutes of the game field.The main center of the Warriors was beaten down, and there was a big difference in the momentum of the two teams.The Lakers played more and more smoothly, while the Warriors fell into the quagmire of not making shots and dying to shoot.At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers took a 31-point lead 21 to 10.

No NBA team will give up easily, and the Warriors are no exception. In the second quarter, Warriors coach Mike Montrose sacrificed his last hope of the game, the zone defense.Needless to say, this zone defense really works. Qin Tao knows nothing about zone defense, and the Lakers have never encountered zone defense before.Although the Warriors' zone defense was lame, it also successfully blocked the Lakers' offense.

Sitting on the sidelines, Qin Tao frowned, "Council defense, what should I do?"

Although Qin Tao knew how the Lakers finally cracked the opponent's zone defense in this game, but he, the head coach, would always come out and say something when the team was in trouble, right?

Qin Tao frowned, sitting on the sidelines, the live director did not hesitate to show the camera to Qin Tao.Immediately, everyone in Staples could see Qin Tao's expression.

"That little Chinese guy can't deal with the Warriors' zone defense anymore, so I'll say he doesn't have much connotation." Barkley threw out his taunt without hesitation.

"Well! At least the Lakers are still leading now, aren't they? Charles." Smith would not easily unite with Barkley.

"Okay! Even if they are still leading now, but look at it is completely the result of the Golden State's unfavorable offense. If their offense improves, I think they will soon tie the score or even overtake it." Barkley Said firmly.

"Charles, don't underestimate anyone." Smith said: "Now that he is sitting in that position instead of you, it means that he is stronger than you."

"Speak with facts."

"Yes! Tell the truth."

The two anchors of T.NT quarreled again.The Lakers on the field did encounter a lot of trouble, and failed to attack 7 times in a row.This time, the Lakers' backup center Brian Grant smashed the ball on the Warriors' feet and out of the baseline. Pausing to talk about tactics, I have to bite the bullet and talk about it.

Qin Tao pretended to take out the tactical board, and said: "We performed very well in the previous games, and now we still maintain a 6-point lead. Although our offense is not good, our defense is good. At least we didn't let the opponent. The score surpassed us. The next thing we have to do is to make adjustments in offense." Qin Tao paused for a moment. When he broke the Warriors' zone defense yesterday, he just ordered a bottle of speed potion for Kobe and Butler. People used speed to completely overwhelm the Warriors' crappy defense, and Qin Tao really couldn't figure out the actual tactics...

After thinking for a while, Qin Tao bit the bullet and said: "Wait a while, Kobe and Caron will come on the field, and you will attack the Warriors' defense with your speed. Don't waste your strength, charge me. And pay attention, when they defend the zone defense The strong side will be stronger, but the corner and the weak side of the ribs will have weaknesses, and they are responsible for the bottom line defense is the fake Dunleavy, you two take good care of him with speed."

"Also, Waheed, you pay attention to the pick-and-roll and support on the line. Lamar, you want us to gain a certain advantage in the interior. Chucky, you float on the outside. If Caron and Bryant get the ball out, you have a good chance. Shoot, if the chance is not good, you break through. Derek is strong, but his speed is slow." Qin Tao patted the tactical board and said loudly: "Brothers, come on." Qin Tao realized when he said the words. He said something wrong, but he didn't change it.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was stunned, including Brown, who was standing aside. Brown was about to say something, but then the Lakers player's indomitable look and fierce eyes erupted made him realize that Qin Qin just now Tao's words have successfully inspired the fighting spirit of all the players.

Going up again, Caron and Kobe once again found the extreme speed of the previous game, and the sticky air before became smoother, especially Butler, who seemed to feel a more terrifying speed.He received a pass from Kobe at the bottom corner and strode to the inside with a stride. With just the first step, he got rid of Dunleavy who was defending him. Murphy quickly came to defend him, but it was too late. Butler's speed was the same. It also exceeded Qin Tao's imagination, too fast.Completely ignoring Murphy, after pulling it up, he dunked directly.

After landing, he also yelled loudly, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to Qin Tao on the sidelines and then pointed at himself.Standing on the free throw line, Butler made the free throw.After the Warriors kicked off, he pounced on Fisher like a mad dog. Xiaoyu didn't expect Butler to come so fiercely. He was unprepared. The ball was bucketed by Butler. Kobe quickly rushed to pick up the ball and ran all the way to At the basket, he ended the offense with a windmill dunk.

Only 26 seconds after the timeout, the Lakers scored five points in a row and once again widened the point difference to double digits.The rest of the game was completely under Butler's control. Even if he was as paranoid as Kobe, he had to admit that he was not as good as Butler tonight.

Shots, dunks, steals, blocks, assists, Barrett turned into an all-round fighter, omnipotent, he completely controlled the rest of the second quarter.In the second quarter, Butler alone contributed 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, and 4 assists.Plus Kobe's 9 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds.The Lakers extended their lead to 20 points in one fell swoop, and the Warriors' zone defense was overwhelmed by the Zijin Army.

In the second half, the Zijin Army, whose morale was unprecedentedly high, still maintained the brave momentum of the first half.On the defensive end, the Warriors can't stop the progress of the Zijin Army. They are not a strong defensive team.On the offensive end, they were completely divided by the Lakers, fighting on their own, stragglers, even if they were as strong as Kobe, Jordan couldn't fight five with one.What's more, their top star Richardson is far inferior to Kobe.

72 to 51, 89 to 65, 95 to 71, 100 to 73, 122 to 90, the Lakers' advantage is getting bigger and bigger, and the Warriors have completely lost their ability to resist.In the end, they lost 32 points away to the Zijin Army.

Caron Butler's outburst gave the Lakers an unexpected victory. The run-and-gun duel that people expected did not appear. What people saw was the wonderful show where the Lakers defeated the Warriors with two quick shots from outside... ...But more people are crediting this game to Butler and Kobe, who scored 66 points, 14 assists and 21 rebounds tonight.Although Butler said at the press conference after the game, "Without the leader, there would be no victory tonight." But still no one wants to believe that the credit for tonight's victory belongs to Qin Tao.
