The Warriors vs Lakers series has attracted many fans, with ratings hitting a new high in nearly 10 years.

And the game between the Eastern Nets and the Raptors, few people commented on the Internet, the popularity of the stars in the East and West is incomparable, and everyone doesn't like losers.

Stephen Curry practiced his shooting in the morning, and he knew that his other skills against Guo Xu were not very effective, and it was easier to score only by running, catching, shooting, and relying on cover to find misplaced opportunities.

Some Warriors fans feel that Curry has a height advantage, as long as he feels good, he has the possibility of suppressing Guo Xu, but this is not the case. Curry is afraid of close-fitting, physically strong guards, even if they are shorter.

Curry was basically blown up against Guo Xu, and when he encountered Paul and Rondo's main defense, his data and shooting percentage would also be reduced. And Guo Xu's offense is really inexplicable, and he has exploded all the point guards in the league, and it is impossible to defend one-on-one.

Curry is well aware of the gap between himself and Guo Xu's personal ability, and he will be put to great test on the defensive end. Before the start of the game, he had a serious and sullen expression.

In the home locker room, coach Mark Jackson cheered Curry on: "Stephen, you can drop, you are the best, you have to be confident to know?" ”

Curry smiled and said that he would give it his all, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

If you want Curry to have confidence in Guo Xu, it's useless for Jackson to be so encouraging, he should go and say to Guo Xu: "How did you get the same as an alien?" Earth is very dangerous, you better go back to Mars. ”

There were bright spots when the players warmed up, Guo Xu and Curry both shot three points near the midfield, and the shooting percentage was very high, and they scored five goals on ten shots, which won the applause of the fans.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Yu Jia said: "The two perverted stars of the NBA finally met in the Western Conference Finals, and they both made many ultra-long three-pointers in the regular season. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "People used to say that no one could imitate Guo Xu's play, but Curry was really no worse than Guo Xu in terms of shooting." However, in terms of breakthroughs, he can't compare, and the speed gap with Guo Xu is too big. ”

Yu Jia nodded and said: "Watching Curry break through always feels light, Guo Xu gives people the feeling that he has a short head and a low center of gravity, and is fast, and few people can prevent him." ”

The two sides started the game, Guo Xu shook Curry's hand with a smile, and Curry's expression was extremely serious.

Guo Xu knew at a glance that Curry was under a lot of psychological pressure, because the Warriors' lineup was recognized as stronger than the Suns, and there were stars inside and outside. It's normal for them to win, and it's a shame for them to lose.

The 72-win record was tied with the 1996 Bulls, and the Warriors players didn't want to lose the championship.

Lakers five: Guo Xu, Booker, Carter, Tucker, Horford.

Warriors five: Curry, Redick, Middleton, Draymond Green, Brook Lopez.

There have been a little adjustment to the lineups of both sides, and the Lakers' direct small-ball tactics are to infinitely change defenses and limit the Warriors' pitchers. Tyrone Lue firmly believes that the Warriors must be dominated by outside shooting, including Lopez, who likes to pull out and shoot threes.

Tucker is very good at blocking and pick-and-roll, can resist people at the power forward position, and can shoot threes himself. He's now an important rotation player for the Lakers, averaging 33 minutes per game in the playoffs.

Jackson put Rudy Gobert on the bench and didn't try to get him on the court with Green, and the formation couldn't be pulled. In this way, the two interior players who are good at defense stagger the time, and Gobert and Nowitzki can also strengthen the defense in the second quarter.

Horford jumped the ball to win, and the Lakers attacked first.

Guo Xu's midcourt catch is a super long three-pointer, he just warmed up to find a good feeling, both hands push the ball in a very high arc, straight to the basket, the ball hollow into the net. 3 to 0.

Curry was a little far away from the jump ball, and others didn't expect Guo Xu to come out like this, and they didn't wrap up in the midcourt in the first round.

Yu Jia said: "The defense of Guo Xu really can't relax for a moment, and he scored three points in the opening game." ”

Zhang Li sighed: "This is really a god-like ball skill, Jordan can't be called the god of basketball compared to him, and no one has ever seen Jordan shoot three points like this." ”

Yu Jia said: "Now no one says that Jordan is stronger than Guo Xu, his honors have surpassed Jordan, and it is only a matter of time before the total score surpasses Jordan, if he does not retire and rest for two years, he will probably exceed it this year." ”

The Warriors attacked, Guo Xu pressed Curry in the midcourt, and Guo Xu has been going all out on the defensive end in this playoffs, and the opponent's point guards in the first two rounds were unable to score double-doubles under his defense.

Curry moved sideways by space, Green came out to cover Guo Xu, but as soon as he crashed into it, Guo Xu fell to the ground with a stumble, the referee blew the whistle, and Green moved to cover the foul.

Guo Xu felt that there was no need to talk to him about benevolence and morality to deal with people like Green, just clean him up by any means. Before the start of the fight, he was ready to face Green with a touch and fake takedown.

Because of Green's bad performance in the last round of the series, the referee will definitely focus on him, for fear that he will make trouble, especially if he and Guo Xu will clash. Guo Xu's kick in the regular season made Green a laughing stock, and he could retaliate.

Green is not only black on the court, his trash talk and some amazing remarks with low emotional intelligence, people who are not good enough in psychological quality really can't bear it. Green had no remorse after kicking Thompson's crotch and even said that it was unfair for the league to ban him for one game because he didn't mean to, and Thompson hit him first.

In this case, as soon as Guo Xu falls, the referee will blow the whistle without hesitation, even if this is the home court of the Warriors.

Green looked innocent, but in fact, his cover movements were very irregular, obviously on the move. In the past, Xiao Hua used to support the warriors and the tough Green, but now the intensity of this support has decreased.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu was caught and the ball was given to Horford, and Horford did not hesitate in the vacant position on the right side, receiving the ball and shooting three points. He was very well prepared, and he shot very quickly and the ball went in. 6 to 0.

He practiced a three-point three-point shot today, and just a slight change of position is a very effective tactic. Usually he covers Guo Xu first, and then gets the ball in the middle after Guo Xu attracts the bag, and most of the steps in the three-point line are the main strategies.

He ran to the right side after covering, and the opponent did not return to the inside line to chase the defense, and he and Guo Xu opened up the distance, and it was difficult for the opponent to defend in place after Guo Xu's pass. And the person who came out to defend the pick-and-roll was Green, and Lopez had to move around the box as a heavy interior lineman.

The Warriors attacked, Curry passed the ball to Green first, and then ran without the ball to find cover and create opportunities. On the side, Lopez blocked Guo Xu for Curry, Curry received the ball, and Tucker immediately came up from the wing to rotate the defense and block it in front of him.

Guo Xu quickly bypassed the cover and made a wrap, Horford did not switch defenses, he followed Lopez in the corner position, Green was released in the middle, and received Curry's pass.

Green hesitated for a moment in the big vacancy, and there was no chance to shoot again, Tucker had already returned to his position, so he had to organize the offense again to find his teammates.

Running out of 24 seconds, Middleton singled out the right side and turned back to shoot a jumper. 6 to 2.

He deserved to be selected for the All-Star Game this year, and he was excellent both offensively and defensively, and he could play without the ball or with the ball, and the veteran Carter had a hard time defending him.

The Lakers attacked, playing very simply, Guo Xu attracted the bag and passed to the empty cut Horford, who smashed into the basket to attract Lopez to the bottom right corner.

Green didn't have time to make up for the bottom corner from the middle, and Tucker had no one around him, so he hit an easy jumper to make it 9-2.

scored three three-pointers in a row, and the Lakers opened against the main guest!
