Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

However, Curry is limited by his physical talent, and I am afraid that he will not be able to develop top-level post-up singles ability.

This is also impossible.

He practiced back-up singles, and he could indeed practice it.

But the problem is, he can't play much role in actual combat.

Who can he hit back?

Aaron Brooks, Kemba Walker, or Mike Conley?

What's the use of that.

As long as the opponent is a good defensive point guard, such as Paul and Deron.

Curry's post-up singles may have no effect at all.

It's better to honestly improve your shooting ability.

Next, it was the Lakers' offensive round again.

This time Paul played a classic pick-and-roll with Kobe at the top of the arc.

After the demolition, Kobe directly pulled up to shoot after receiving a pass from Paul.

Curry and Harden could only watch Kobe throw the ball into the hoop in front of them.

With Kobe's shooting ability, his efficiency when playing off the ball is much higher than when playing with the ball.

Kobe's feelings for the old fisher Fisher are just one sentence: Although I miss you, don't see you again.

This Paul not only liberated Kobe on the defensive end, but also helped Kobe take part of the pressure on the offensive end.

How comfortable it is to play this kind of ball, I am afraid only Kobe himself can realize it.

like...

Just like Durant joined the Warriors back then.

The rest of the Warriors did what they were supposed to do.

Durant just needs to play comfortably with the ball.

Comfortable, simple and efficient!

It is not wrong to say that Durant got a ride.

Don't need Durant, just change to a striker with good wing singles ability.

It can still win two consecutive championships, and there is even a high probability that it will be two consecutive FMVPs.

Who made Curry not a hooker?

Durant naively thought that he was capable enough to win two consecutive FMVPs.

He didn't even think about it, how many times could he get easy singles without Ku Tangzhui?

The Thunder's Western Conference finals comeback by the Warriors is still vivid!

Now Kobe is very sober, knowing that it is because of Paul that he can have an easy shot.

This old fish is exchanged for Paul, it is really like exchanging a shotgun for a "cannon"!

In the first quarter, the two sides played a 28 tie, and the scene was very stalemate, and the two sides were inseparable.

In the second quarter, the two sides began to replace the substitutes.

Now it's the Clippers' turn to take off.

In particular, the Lakers allowed Kobe to rest first and replaced him with Blake.

Doesn't this make Ginobili hit you on the head?

Yang Li also boldly used Thomas Jr. to play point guard, and at the same time matched Leonard and Battier on the front line.

Put Battier at power forward and Ibaka at center.

One control and four defenses, this lineup has been practiced many times by Yang Li and Stevens.

The effect is very good.

Even though Thomas Jr. and Leonard are just rookies who have just entered the league, they still played well.

The problem with this lineup is that Thomas Jr.'s one-on-one defensive ability is not good.

But with the help of others, Thomas Jr. only needs to prevent the opponent's shot.

This is not difficult for Thomas Jr.

He is less than 10 centimeters shorter than Paul, and Paul's shooting speed is not as fast as Curry's.

The shooting speed is relatively slow. If it is just to interfere, it can be done for Thomas Jr..

In addition, Paul dragged a few substitute players to play. Although his passing ability is strong, the probability of converting it into a score after passing it to his teammates is not high.

One is the limited ability of his own teammates, and the other is that the defensive ability of the Clippers' substitute players is really good.

Especially Ibaka, this year is only his third year in the NBA.

However, his mature defensive skills and defense awareness have a tendency to compete for DPOY.

In fact, in the 11-12 season in the previous life.

Ibaka beat Dwight Howard and LeBron James in the DPOY voting and came in second.

Lost to Dallas Mavericks defensive gate Tyson Chandler.

Not to mention that the Lakers can't play on the offensive end, they can't stand it even more on the defensive end.

A super-fast guard like Thomas Jr. only needs a cover from his teammates to go straight to the basket.

Facing an inside player of the level of Mike Roberts, it is simply casual killing.

Even if you can't get in, you can pass to Leonard or Battier on the wing at any time.

Their shooting ability is online, whether it is a long-range three-pointer or a mid-range two-pointer, they all have a good shooting percentage.

Even if it doesn't work, isn't Ginobili still there?

Just hand the ball to Ginobili!

Halfway through the second quarter, the Lakers were forced to switch to the starting lineup again.

The Clippers just tweaked it slightly, swapping out Leonard and Thomas for Pickles and Harden.

Still able to play [-]-[-] with the Lakers.

At the end of the first half, the Clippers led the Lakers by 54 points 47:7.

After the intermission, the two sides began the third quarter of the game.

This time Yang Li directly dispatched the "Death Five" lineup.

Millsap, Pickles, Ginobili, Harden and Curry.

This lineup played countless times last season, but most of them started to be used in the first half of the fourth quarter.

It is used after the opponent's physical energy is almost exhausted.

In this way, the defense of the "Death Five" can still keep up.

However, after a season of running-in and training, this lineup has become very mature.

Especially in terms of defensive ability, great progress has been made.

The current Clippers are already confident that they will come up with this lineup in the third quarter.

Just like the warriors back then.

This lineup almost broke the Lakers.

Phil Jackson made two personnel adjustments, but still failed to stop the Clippers' wave.

There is no way, the Lakers' bench lineup is too weak.

If you want to keep up with the speed of the Clippers, you can only use Caron Butler, Steve Blake, and Matt Barnes.

But these people's defensive ability is not enough.

Phil Jackson also tried playing against the Clippers with a regular lineup.

But Millsap and Pickles can also hold off Bynum and Gasol on the defensive end.

But once the Lakers fail to score, the Clippers will immediately counterattack.

Bynum and Gasol simply had no time to return to the defense.

After a few rounds, these two insiders were ruined.

Although the regular lineup is better offensively than the small lineup, the defense is actually worse.

It's a bit like drinking poison to quench your thirst.

However, you have to drink this glass of poisoned wine. If you don't drink it, you will also die slowly.

Especially the flanking singles ability of Pickle and Ginobili, they directly regard people like Blake and Baye as experience babies.

After three quarters, the Clippers have led the Lakers by 92 points 70:22.

"Did you only win by 15 points in a whole quarter? Tsk..." Yang Li looked at the score and muttered in a low voice.

He is not very satisfied with this result.

Although the Lakers are almost about to collapse now.

However, the "Death Five" only scored a 12-point advantage in 15 minutes, and this result can only be regarded as barely qualified.

It seems that this set of tactics is still not mature enough!
