NBA: At the beginning, the Polish star was so angry that he was reborn

Lakers vs. Warriors series.

Showing an overwhelming trend, 0 to 3!The Warriors hold three match points.

In the first three games, the Lakers were not desperate.

Kobe averaged 39.3 minutes per game, and Middleton and Holiday even exceeded 40 minutes.

It's just that the Lakers can't play unlimited defenses like the Nets due to staffing.

The Lakers don't have as strong a front line as the Nets. Except for Jordan Hill, their big men don't move fast.

As long as the Warriors switch to a small lineup, the Lakers' inside players will be exhausted.

The Warriors' "Five Deaths" seem to be unsolvable, and they can open the score every time they play.

With three crisp defeats, no one has any expectations for the Lakers.

Almost everyone believes that the G4 between the Lakers and the Warriors at Staples will be the last battle of Kobe Bryant's 20-year NBA career.

There are not even a few people on the Lakers who hold this view.

The night of the game, Staples was packed.

A video tribute to Bryant's career was played on the big screen above the arena.

Kobe was so happy watching the video, Farke didn't even have confidence in his own people.

Jrue Holiday leaned over to Kobe and said, "Boss, attack a little more today."

"What's wrong?" Kobe looked at Holiday and smiled, "You think this is my last game too?"

Holiday didn't speak, apparently acquiescing to Kobe's words.

Kobe patted Holiday on the shoulder and said:

"Being behind 0 to 3 is very difficult. But every game is a new beginning. I will try my best even if I lose without regret."

Kobe looked at the dignified Holiday and continued: "Okay, don't think too much, even if it's my last game, you don't want me to end it with a failure!"

Middleton on the side listened to Kobe's words and smiled. He said, "Boss, you want to win the championship!"

Kobe thought about it and smiled: "Haha, at least I don't want to lose this game!"

After the passionate appearance ceremony, the game started soon.

Lakers starting lineup: Jrue Holiday, Kobe Bryant, Khris Middleton, Jordan Hill, Brook Lopez;

Warriors starting lineup: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Bogut "Australian Dog";

"Beep!"

Lopez jumps over Bogut.

Lopez gave the ball to Holiday.

Holiday held the ball for halftime, and after his teammates settled down, he asked for a pick-and-roll.

Holiday broke into the paint and met Barnes, who switched defenses.

Holiday's offense was blocked, and Kobe scored the ball outside.

Kobe flicked the ball, faced Thompson, and made a three-pointer.

The basketball draws a perfect arc, "Shua!" Hollow into the net!

3 is better than 0!

Klay Thompson was caught off guard. He didn't expect Kobe to shoot directly.

In the first three games, Kobe played fairly well, but today his desire to attack is obviously much stronger.

Warriors offense.

Curry held the ball, and Holiday went up to fight.

Curry knew that Holiday was difficult, and gave the ball to Green who directed the traffic at the top of the arc.

Curry took Holiday to a run.

The Warriors' pick-and-roll tactics have been perfected, and after a few pulls, Curry briefly dumped Holiday.

People arrived and the ball arrived, the cooperation was very skillful, and the basketball was accurately passed to Curry's hands.

Curry quickly pushed the ball and shot, "Shua!" This ball also has it.

3 is better than 3!

In this brief moment, Curry completed the shot.

How to defend Curry, many teams in the league racked their brains for this.

Curry's personal singles ability is far less unrestricted than Yi Tian and Durant.

But Curry's precise three-pointers and deft dribble made him unstoppable from the perimeter.

The Warriors' pick-and-roll and pass-and-cut system serve the two "sharp shooters" Curry and Klay Thompson.

Green, Harrison Barnes, and Bogut will all run pick-and-rolls for Curry, who runs off the ball.

As long as there is an open space in front of Curry, his three-pointer with a hundred steps will bring a heavy blow to the opponent.

Therefore, if you want to really limit Curry's scoring, you must work hard on the Warriors' pick-and-roll defense.

How to crack the Warriors' pick-and-roll, in fact, the best way is to change the pick-and-roll.

From the effect point of view, the Nets' unlimited defense is undoubtedly the best solution.

Players who switch defenses must have both speed and height, so even if they use pick-and-rolls, it will be difficult for Curry to get shot space.

In the Nets, Yi Tian, ​​"Brother Antetokounmpo", Covington, and Matt Barnes are all players with both height and speed.

This is why Curry struggles every time he faces the Nets.

But the Nets' defensive style is difficult for other teams to replicate.

They lack such strikers in their formation.

That is, this season, all teams have realized the importance of high-quality 3D.

In the past three games, the Lakers have opted to use flanking to stop Curry.

But in this case, Klay Thompson will get a shot.

Curry scored fewer points, but Klay Thompson ushered in an explosion.

In this round of the series, Thompson averaged 29.3 points per game, even surpassing Curry's 27 points.

It can be said that the Lakers were thrown to death by the "Splash Brothers".

In this game, Mike Brown learned a lesson. He did not take a flanking attack, but used Holiday to consume Curry with a single defense.

Let Curry take the shot and cut off his connection with his teammates. This is the Lakers' tactic.

…………

Lakers round.

Holiday dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Kobe.

Middleton spaced Kobe on the other side.

Holiday came over to cover for Kobe, and after the pick-and-roll, Kobe misplaced to face Curry.

This is Mike Brown's classic "roll call" tactic. The scene of Yi Tian and Kobe playing Curry in consecutive singles is still fresh in my memory.

Kobe made three threats with the ball, feinted continuously, and Kobe dribbled through.

Curry's defense is actually not bad, he didn't lose his position.

It's just that although Kobe's explosive power has declined, his body has an advantage in facing Curry.

In the case of single defense, Curry is indeed struggling.

Kobe's position at the free throw line, changing directions continuously, getting up and pulling back!

Curry took a step slower, watching the basketball fly over his head.

"Shua!" Hollow hit.

"Wow! Kobe is in good form today." Barkley said: "If you keep it up, the Lakers will play some games."

next round.

Bryant snatched the basketball from Klay Thompson, a smart steal, and the Lakers got a fast break.

Holiday received a long pass from Kobe and made a quick layup.

Staples seethed.

Kobe played at a high level on both ends of the floor.

Under his leadership, the Lakers maintained their lead over the Warriors.

Halftime is over.

The Lakers led by 58 points 54 to 4.

But Bryant knew that the most difficult moment was yet to come.

The Warriors' "Death Five" is the most difficult wave!
