Chapter 1163 [Cast the Undead, Really Dare to Play]
When the CCTV5 commentator was chatting, the Warriors players made mistakes on the court.
Curry's intention to pass to Middleton was so obvious that he found the same teammate to pass the ball several times after halftime, and Roberson suddenly went around and made a successful steal with a long arm.
Guo Xu's reaction speed is unmatched in the NBA, and as soon as he saw Robertson go around, he turned around and went down the fast attack, and got rid of Curry in two steps. Robertson picked up the ball with a one-handed long pass, Curry tried to break through the line and gambled on a steal, but couldn't get the ball after jumping.
Guo Xu jumped up after receiving the ball in front of the free throw line, and stretched out the sideways windmill to dunk the basketball in! 10 to 8.
The Warriors attacked, and Curry passed to Redick who was running, and the latter was blocked by Carter. Carter was criticized for his defense when he was young, but as he got older, his defensive enthusiasm increased. He's by no means a defensive black hole, which allows him to get a lot of playing time.
Redick shielded the ball to find his teammates and wanted to pass to Curry, who was running on cover.
Guo Xu knew that Nowitzki would cover without the ball, so he chose to bypass it from the inside, and suddenly an accelerated one-handed basketball was directly broken, and he went on a fast break alone.
The Warriors' offensive routine was recognized by Guo Xu, and Middleton was not easy to play after Robertson started. Redick is used to passing the ball with a sense of distance and is not a good playmaker. He passed at first sight when he saw Guo Xu a little far away from Curry, but after the ball was shot, he found that the pass was light, and the ball speed was not as fast as Guo Xu's.
Guo Xu had no way to attack Curry quickly, and he was left behind in a few steps, and saw Guo Xu make an easy layup. 12 to 8.
The Warriors attacked, Middleton took the ball and passed to Redick, Nurkic defended it and forced it to the perimeter with Carter. Redick passed the ball to the middle, Robertson pressed forward again, although he didn't break the ball, but forced Middleton to withdraw from beyond the three-point line to receive the ball, and it was too late to turn around and find Lopes in the open space, Nurkic retreated to the box to defend.
The Warriors players didn't run out of space after a few passes, and seeing that they were running out of 24 seconds, Nowitzki singled out Horford with the ball, turned to the middle and missed the Golden Rooster's independent jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by Nurkic.
Nowitzki, a veteran who has passed his prime, can't bully Horford, who is 30 years old, who is in his prime. Horford's athleticism is superior, and his height and reach can also interfere with shooting.
The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu slipped to the bottom line to run and receive the ball, and formed a triangle with Nurkic and Carter on the right side.
Middleton didn't wrap up, Guo Xu singled out Curry, took a step to the left side to change direction to break through the bottom line, attracted Curry to move sideways, and then collected the ball with his right hand and turned around to receive a backward jumper to completely get rid of the defense, and the ball hollowed into the net.
14 to 8. Guo Xu had 6 points and 4 assists.
Zhang Reasonable said: "Guo Xu is mainly breaking through to score two points today, and the Lakers players hit all the shots in the opening game, obviously gaining the upper hand. The Warriors probably didn't expect them to lose by not shooting three-pointers to the basket. ”
Yu Jia said: "The Lakers also did a good job of outside defense today, and they should be able to win if they continue to play like this." ”
After seeing the goal, Tyrone Lue stood up on the sidelines and took the lead in cheering, and he and Thackeray became a towel man, stealing the show.
Thackeray is always the most energetic man on the Lakers' sidelines, and he knows it's almost time to say goodbye to the NBA at the end of the season, and he has to stand on his last shift, throw off the last towel, and hope to go overseas to pan for gold with a championship ring.
Curry passed the ball again in the half, Middleton broke through with the ball, changed direction and went to the right to fail Roberson, he knew that if he forced his shot, he would be interfered with, and the ball was divided by his teammates.
The position of the Warriors player stood dead and fell into singles.
Redick couldn't break through and passed to Lopes in the bottom corner, Nurkic kept his distance and reached out to interfere when the opponent took a shot, and the ball was deflected. Lopez's three-point shot can't be used as a killer move, and he only shoots about 35 percent from the field.
Horford card, Robertson retreated to grab the rebound in the backcourt, Guo Xu received the ball on the weak side to attract the bag and split the ball to Carter, who missed the shot.
In the Warriors' positional battle, Curry couldn't break through Guo Xu's ball, Middleton tried to break through with the ball on the right side and failed, leaned on Robertson with his back and turned to the middle to retreat and jumper, which was deflected under serious interference, and Nurkic grabbed the rebound and made a pass to counterattack.
Guo Xu dribbled the ball into the three-point line on the left side, attracted the bag of Redick and Curry, and dribbled the ball to the middle under his crotch. He glanced at Carter on the right, and the left-handed behind-the-back pass was flicked to Horford, who followed up on the left, who scored with a one-handed smash in three steps.
16 to 8, Guo Xu's 5th assist.
The Lakers not only have a speed advantage over Guo Xu, but also have an obvious running advantage between Horford and Nowitzki in the counterattack, forming a three-on-two in the frontcourt, and Guo Xu easily helped his teammates create opportunities.
Warriors coach Jackson called a timeout first, and the margin was about to widen to double digits, and the Lakers missed a shot.
He's going to make substitutions and add a ball-handling attacking point.
Blue-collar Robertson has become a key figure for the Lakers, and his defense is very good after starting today, and the core of the Warriors, Curry, and the second-in-command Middleton are not easy to break through. If a team wants to win, it is impossible not to break through and only rely on shooting to score.
NBA commentators often say that "you can't shoot people", because players who rely on shooting are not good at attracting bags and helping teammates create empty opportunities to shoot easily. Usually, Curry's breakthrough ability of this "system Redick" is much stronger than that of the real Redick.
Redick is not a man who takes responsibility and shoots endlessly, can score a lot of points, and he is not good at attacking with the ball.
So Jackson took Reddick off the game and replaced him with Iguodala. If Iguodala can surprise Carter, he could bring the Warriors' offense to life.
However, Suns coach Tyrone Lue also adjusted with the substitution, with veteran Carter resting and macho Tucker playing.
Carter's shooting percentage dropped in this series, and after missing his first shot today, Tyrone Lue decided to let him go off the court and play again in the second quarter with a bench. Tucker can also step up his defense at this time, and open up waiting for the opportunity to catch the ball.
As the game continued, Tucker immediately came into play, not pounced to defend Iguodala, but cleverly contracted to help Nurkic defend Lopez once.
Iguodala was cleared down the left and received a pass from Lopez, and he didn't feel good when he first came on the court, and his jumper missed a three-point shot.
At this time, Warriors fans are a little nostalgic for Demar Carroll, who was poached by the Raptors, who is more sure outside the three-point line and fierce defensively. After Carroll left, the Warriors' flanks weakened.
In the Lakers positional battle, Guo Xu came out to cover as soon as Guo Xu dribbled the ball past half court, but Lopez did not defend it.
Guo Xu took the ball two meters outside the three-point line and slowed down to attract Iguodala's supplementary defense, and moved sideways with a quick long pass with both hands to Tucker, who ran to the bottom right corner in one breath.
Tucker took the ball in the open position and took aim and hit the jumper steadily!
19 to 8, Guo Xu's 6th assist.
Tucker, who was also new to the game, played his strengths, his three-point ratio was better than Iguodala's, and he had a big heart, and he dared to play under the pressure of stealing.
Jackson's brow furrowed, and the hearts of Warriors fans also tugged, the Lakers are playing better at this time, and they need stars to step up.
Curry still split the ball in the middle of the half, Iguodala was let go two steps away, he held the ball and forced a breakthrough to be close to Tucker and split the ball to Middleton.
Middleton singled Roberson, the crotch dribble changed direction and was close to him, and forced a layup that was deflected wide under the interference. He shot the ball very reluctantly at first glance, and his movements were a little deformed under the confrontation.
Robertson landed and immediately grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and held it in his arms. He deserved to be a power forward in college, and his awareness of rebounding was very good......
