Chapter 1156 [Extravagant Lineup, Terrifying Data]

In the first quarter, the two teams played very fiercely, and no one could prevent anyone.

After sending the inside twin towers, the Warriors' offense was super strong, and their ability to switch defenses and block and dismantle became worse. In an effort to strengthen their perimeter defense, they replaced top pitcher Redick with Iguodala seven minutes later.

Iguodala has been playing dead in the regular season this year, playing a career-low of 26 minutes and stats, averaging 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. After entering the playoffs, he was resurrected, playing 31 minutes, scoring 9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 47.5% from the field and 38.8% from three-point range.

Some of his roles are not statistically reflected, he makes the ball run better and can also defend the scorer.

The Warriors' lineup is so extravagant, the benches are all former All-Stars, and if Iguodala plays for a weak team and has enough shots, it will not be difficult for him to play 15+5+5. The 32-year-old is physically fit for most swingmen in the league, can easily catch dunks when counterattacking, and is strong enough to withstand many power forwards.

The Lakers' offense was stronger, in the second half, Tyrone Lue replaced Nurkic and Horford to cover together, Guo Xu ran to catch the ball, and the Warriors' twin towers were not fast enough to change defenses.

Even if they switch defenses in place, there will still be misplaced opportunities, Guo Xu can easily pass Nowitzki and Lopes with the ball, and the two can't stop him except for fouls.

In the parallel world, in 2006, Nowitzki couldn't prevent Wade from being blocked, and 10 years later, he faced Guo Xu, who was stronger than Wade at the peak, and of course he couldn't prevent it.

In the first quarter, Guo Xu shot 6 of 8, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 21 points and 5 assists, and he led the Lakers to a 41-35 lead.

Guo Xu did not rest in the second quarter, and the four rotation players were Booker, Josh Richardson, Robertson, and Nurkic.

In this series, as long as the Lakers are not a lot ahead and enter garbage time, Guo Xu will play the whole game, he has no reservations, and his physical strength supports it.

Guo Xu rested for 6 minutes, and perhaps the final outcome was that the Warriors won, and the difference in bench strength between the two sides was obvious, and the Lakers could not withstand it. During the regular season, the coaching staff tried to rotate, and both games were lost in the second quarter.

The Lakers lacked a second offensive point with the ball, and Booker, Horford and others could attack with the ball, but they couldn't score many points.

On the other hand, the Warriors lineup is too terrifying, the rotation in the second quarter is Barbosa, Livingston, Iguodala, Nowitzki, Gobert, in order to strengthen the offense, Green did not play again after being replaced in the first quarter.

Green was depressed sitting off the court, he was in his prime, but he had to share playing time with the veteran Nowitzki, who played longer in the regular season and was more heavily used in the playoffs.

In fact, the person who has the greatest influence on Green is Gobert, who is also a defense-oriented player, Gobert's talent is much better than Green's, and the coaching staff prefers to cultivate this kind of person who blocks on tiptoe and dunks when he stands under the basket.

At the end of this season, Gobert signed an early contract extension with the Warriors, and according to his performance, the total salary will not be less than $100 million.

Green's status with the Warriors will decline, and he and Lopez will have to leave one in the summer, otherwise the Warriors' total salary is too high and they will have to pay a huge luxury tax.

In the parallel world, Green is reused because the Warriors' interior depth is insufficient, and he is the only one who can be reliable. Earth's One Warrior Speights is a fringe man, and Kevon Looney can't even make the squad. Looney played just 12 games in total during the regular season and has been working out in the Development League.

In the face of the Warriors' twin towers, Tyrone Lue did not dare to send Boozer and Harrell to let Robertson play as the No. 4 main defense Nowitzki, who had no problem with mobility and confrontation, and Nowitzki rarely hit the basket.

The game continued, Booker, Guo Xu, and Nurkic played a triangle attack on one side and continued to control the situation.

The difference gradually widened to 13 points, and the Warriors players, including Iguodala, could not defend Guo Xu alone. The warriors don't wrap up, Guo Xu holds the ball and plays alone, shaking a few mid-range shots or breaking through.

The Warriors flanked Guo Xu, Guo Xu gave Booker a chance, he shot a three-pointer, and another time attracted a rotational defensive point, assisting Josh to shoot a three-pointer.

These two youngsters are not low in catch-and-shoot percentage, and they often get open spots in the regular season and practice it.

Their defensive ability is also stronger than that of the parallel world, and they are often abused by Guo Xu during team training, and they have rich experience in the defensive frame.

Curry was on the sidelines thinking about how to get out of defense and shoot more resolutely. He had to rest for a while, and the time he played was too long to ensure efficiency, and the gap between him and Guo Xu's physical fitness could not be bridged.

Once you make the playoffs and the defensive intensity increases, Curry's physical weaknesses become apparent. Because Curry will be targeted on the defensive end, and his physical strength will be affected if he increases his consumption when defending, so it will be difficult to play dominant in the playoffs.

Whether it's this world or the parallel world, Curry's playoff shooting percentage will drop, and of course it's still top compared to other guards.

Curry came back in the second half and scored a lot of points by playing without the ball, and he was able to break through the misalignment, scoring 15 points and 3 assists at halftime.

Among the guards facing Guo Xu in the playoffs, Curry's performance is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, but it is still incomparable with Guo Xu.

Guo Xu played the full 24 minutes of the half, cutting a big double-double of 34 points and 12 assists, and if the Warriors don't strengthen their defense against him, he may play 60+20 today.

After looking at Guo Xu's data, Coach Jackson felt that his head was big, and the bag had to be a positional battle, and Guo Xu's speed was too fast when he counterattacked, and he easily broke through and scored as soon as he was misplaced.

They can only fight with the Lakers to attack, and Green and Gobert are of little use in defending Guo Xu.

The Lakers led 75-67 at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Warriors had the upper hand and quickly reversed the score.

Middleton and Nowitzki were the two in charge of the ball, and Curry ran off the ball under Lopez's cover, catching and shooting and looking for misplaced opportunities.

After the two defensive interior players sat on the bench, the Warriors went crazy, shooting 10 three-pointers in a single quarter, except for Nowitzki, who mainly played two points, and the other four were all open.

Curry scored 11 points in the first quarter and was the best performer, making three three-pointers, and the Lakers didn't dare to send Nurkic and switched defenses too slowly. If you don't play the big man, Nowitzki has a clear advantage in attacking with the ball.

Nowitzki is 38 years old this year, and his shooting percentage in the playoffs is still as high as 50.3%. He averaged 20.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2 assists in 30.7 minutes per game.

Lopez was equally eye-catching, hitting two three-pointers from the bottom corner, making it difficult for the Lakers' small lineup to block. If they are on the big man lineup, it will be difficult for the Lakers to defend against Redick and Curry.

The Warriors' lineup can play any tactics, and if it weren't for Guo Xu's amazing personal ability, the Lakers would definitely be beaten. Even with Guo Xu, they were 5 points behind after three quarters.

There are too many people who can attack with the ball in the Warriors, and Iguodala and Livingston on the bench can also attack with the ball, and Livingston's mid-range singles shooting rate is still above 50%, and it is difficult to defend against the Lakers occasionally.

The score was ahead of the Warriors, but everyone was not happy, because Guo Xu scored 49 points, 16 assists and 2 steals in the third quarter, and the data was terrifying. Fans like to watch soaring scores, and many home fans applaud Guo Xu after he scored or assisted.

Letting the opponent play super stats at home, even if the Warriors win the game, it is very shameless.

Coach Jackson didn't dare to arrange a no-ball bag, and now they may win with this appropriate defensive play, desperate to limit Guo Xu's play, and it will be difficult for the Lakers to bloom more......
