Chapter 319 Ming!

Mingming!

Are you freaking punching your brother Feng?

You're clearly hammering your brother Feng's chest that doesn't have any rocks with a sledgehammer, you know?

Staples Center.

Watching Yao Ming, who was getting everything he wanted in the Lakers' interior in the third quarter, Su Feng was in a state of pain and happiness at this moment.

He was in pain because the balance of victory had gradually begun to tip towards the Warriors on this night.

But he was happy because, as a Yao fan who had witnessed Yao Ming being destroyed by injuries in his previous life, Su Feng was genuinely happy to see Little Yao still galloping in the NBA at the age of 33.

Of course, since the court is a battlefield...

Then no matter how good Su Feng and Yao Ming's private relationship is.

At this moment...

Taking down the opponent is their only thought.

In the third quarter, the Warriors' offensive pressure around Yao Ming was not just Yao Ming's individual play.

If, in a basketball game, you were to grade a team's performance in the form of scores...

Then without a doubt, both the Lakers and the Warriors could get 100 points.

But, after Van Gundy, under the reminder of Coach Lue, found the most accurate way to open up this Warriors team...

If the Lakers can get 100 points in two quarters and 90 points or close to 90 points in the other two quarters...

Then, under normal circumstances, this Warriors team is the only team in history that can do...

Get a score of 100 in all four quarters.

Exaggerated?

It's pretty exaggerated.

But at this moment, as the Lakers players on the court began to decline in physical strength, and after Yao Ming further drove the Warriors' outside offense through his inside offense...

Staples Center...

In this Western Conference Finals Game 2, it was the Lakers' fans' turn to start self-isolating.

No team can play zone defense against this Warriors team, and no team dares to play zone defense.

However, as the gaps in the Lakers' defense became larger and larger...

On this night, even if Su Feng and Kobe joined forces to score 28 points in the third quarter, they still couldn't prevent the Lakers' deficit from being further widened.

On the court, after three quarters, the score was 98 to 88.

NBA convention.

The visiting Warriors are in front.

The home team Lakers are behind.

In the final quarter, Yao Ming did not rest for the Warriors.

And although Little Yao consumed a lot of energy in the third quarter's close combat, due to Little Gasol's desperate resistance...

But similar to the Lakers who won Game 1, after Little Yao bought rest time for LeBron James, Curry, and others...

At this moment...

Just like that moment!

Beep——!

On the court, until the final buzzer sounded, the Lakers did not fill the big hole that the Warriors had blasted out with mushroom bombs in the third quarter.

In the end, 128 to 118.

The Warriors, while capturing the Staples Center and tying the series score to 1 to 1...

Succeeded in taking away the Lakers' home-court advantage in this Western Conference Finals.

In the whole game, James and Yao Ming scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, and 29 points and 9 rebounds for the Warriors respectively.

In addition, Klay, Ray Allen, and Terry also scored 14 points, 11 points, and 12 points respectively.

Stephen Curry, who hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the first half for the Warriors, continued his "excellent" performance in the Staples Center. He shot 2 for 9 from the field and scored a total of 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists, including free throws.

However...

When Curry haters frantically complained about Curry's "big game jitters" after the game, they did not know that for the Lakers, Curry, who had not performed well in the first two games, was the real "ghost story".

Because from a team perspective, after the first two games, this Lakers team had played to their limit.

And what about the Warriors?

Sorry.

This Warriors team is far from reaching its ceiling.

After Game 2, looking at Su Feng and Kobe, who were sitting shoulder to shoulder and scored 39 points and 30 points for the Lakers on this night...

For a time, even Chauncey Billups, who was known as "Mr. Big Shot", fell into silence, not knowing how to revive the team's morale.

From the result...

The Lakers only lost by 10 points in this game.

But from the process...

This was the most desperate game that this Lakers team had experienced since its formation.

In the corner of the locker room, after Walton sighed, he said, "It seems that we can only pray that Su can turn on his 'God Descends' switch in all the remaining games."

Hearing this, after patting Walton on the shoulder, Coach Lue said, "It's useless, Luke.

Admittedly, Su has the ability to score fifty or sixty points in every game in this series.

But that will not change the outcome of this series."

Looking at Coach Lue's meaningful eyes, after a few seconds...

Walton understood.

Because in a basketball game, no matter how strong an individual is, their performance will be constrained by game time and physical strength.

So even if Su Feng can turn on the "God Descends" switch in consecutive games...

As long as the Warriors can continue to play efficient teamwork...

Then the Lakers also have a high probability of losing this scoring battle with the Warriors.

Basketball.

In the end, it is a sport for five people.

Before moving to Oakland, the Lakers will have a whole day to think about their countermeasures, and then, they will fly to Oakland, and after a day of rest on the 24th, they will usher in the third game of the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors on the 25th.

After Game 2, the experts who are good at jumping back and forth have turned to the "50-year Warriors Fan Camp".

And interestingly, the people who had previously praised Coach Lue the most fiercely also bombarded Coach Lue the most fiercely after Game 2.

"There is an insurmountable gap between the Lakers and the Warriors. The Lakers' journey ends here this year!"

"It's not that I'm bearish on the Lakers, but after losing their home-court advantage, I doubt they can last more than five games in this Western Conference Finals."

"Even the 'God of Basketball' can't save this Lakers team, because the Warriors' strength has far exceeded everyone's understanding of the sport of basketball!"

The next day, on the morning of the 23rd, looking at Su Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged in the center of the court ever since he came to the training hall with him...

Kobe, who had never seen Su Feng so taciturn, couldn't help but say, "You are our leader!

It's just losing one game, is it necessary to isolate yourself until now?"

Hearing this, after looking at Kobe like he was crazy, Su Feng said with a bewildered expression, "Who told you I was isolating myself?"

Kobe sat down beside Su Feng and said, "I know, for the sake of face, there are some things you can only say to me.

But Su, I still hope you can cheer up later when everyone comes."

After saying this, Kobe leaned his shoulder towards Su Feng.

That look, that action, was just like the male lead in an idol drama, lending his shoulder to the female lead to cry on.

It's a pity...

Su Feng not only did not thank Kobe for his kindness, but also glared at Kobe fiercely.

And then, after sighing, Su Feng said with a slightly melancholy expression: "Is it just me who thinks now...

We still hold the initiative in this series?"

Kobe: "..."

Okay!

It doesn't look like Su Feng is isolating himself.

So, after a pause, Kobe said to Su Feng: "Since you think we still hold the initiative, why are you sitting here not saying anything?"

Su Feng wondered and said, "Isn't that what I'm trying to figure out?"

Kobe said "Oh" and said, "Then have you figured out any countermeasures?"

Su Feng gave Kobe a weak look and said, "I have an idea."

Kobe said to Su Feng with delight: "Tell me!"

Su Feng pondered for two seconds and said, "Meet the soldiers, block the water, and cover the earth."

Kobe: "..."

Seriously!

What kind of countermeasure is that?

Looking at Su Feng, Kobe, who was annoyed, felt that Su Feng had begun to "give up".

However, as Su Feng revealed the reasons for the Warriors' strength bit by bit to Kobe...

Kobe began to seriously think about every word Su Feng said.

In Game 2, after the Warriors split and reorganized their lineup, the Warriors, who were so wealthy that even Durant wanted to join for free, not only could put out a luxurious lineup in every quarter.

And, using Little Gasol's importance to this Lakers team, they further expanded Little Yao's advantages when facing Little Gasol.

"It's really hard for Marc.

If he could also play with full stamina, then even if he can't defend Yao, he wouldn't be beaten so badly in the game when Yao singled him out." On the side, while listening to Su Feng's analysis, Kobe occasionally expressed his views.

In Game 2, Walton had suggested to Coach Lue to use DeAndre Jordan and Whiteside to hold up for the first half, and then send Little Gasol to play in the second half.

But Coach Lue rejected this suggestion without even thinking about it.

Why?

Is it because DeAndre Jordan and Whiteside are not up to the task?

No.

It's just because, essentially, this series between the Lakers and the Warriors is a competition to see who has a higher offensive efficiency.

Admittedly.

Little Jordan and Whiteside's aggressiveness and vitality off the bench have contributed to the Lakers' ability to reach this point.

But once Little Gasol is lost...

Then when the Lakers send DeAndre Jordan and Whiteside on the court, who will stand at the high post to coordinate the offense?

Offensively, in the face of this series full of quality, the contribution of Little Jordan and Whiteside at this time can almost be equal to zero.

And in this way, not only will it greatly increase Su Feng and Kobe's shooting load on the court, but it will also make the Lakers' game more difficult.

In fact, to put it bluntly...

It's still because the Lakers' foundation is not as strong as the Warriors.

Unlike Van Gundy, who can use Curry, Yao Ming, James... and even Klay to take turns as the Warriors' offensive core.

Because currently, in the Lakers team, Su Feng and Kobe's roles are irreplaceable.

Therefore, Coach Lue has always been very clear that only by letting this pair of Laul Merion double elders play comfortably can the Lakers have the possibility of laughing to the end in this series.

Then...

What if Little Jordan and Whiteside are used to hold off Little Yao in the second half?

Unfortunately, in Game 2, Coach Lue had tried this.

But after O'Neal retired.

No matter what "Beast", "Happy Beast", or Howard you are...

In today's league, only Little Gasol has the tonnage and strength to compete with Little Yao.

Therefore, the change that Van Gundy stole from Coach Lue is, in a sense, still a clear conspiracy.

When Yao Ming is on, Little Gasol must be on.

Otherwise, the Lakers' inside line will be destined to be opened up by this Little Giant.

"Mingming, what kind of fairy teammates have you met in this life!" Looking at the ceiling of the Lakers' training hall, Su Feng always felt that Little Yao was the chosen one in this space-time.

Because if it weren't for the fact that these Warriors' outside players were more ruthless than the other...

Then the Lakers could just double-team Yao Ming mindlessly.

But with this Warriors' accuracy...

Who dares to leave Curry, Klay, Terry, and Ray Allen, these four top shooters who are famous in the three-point world, open?

"We have to let Marc have enough stamina to fight Yao.

In Game 1, when the playing time was about the same, although Yao's scoring was still efficient at the time...

But compared to 11 for 14 in Game 2, when Marc has enough stamina, he can still collect a certain toll when Yao singles him out." Looking at Kobe, Su Feng said firmly.

"What should we do?" Kobe asked.

"When Yao comes on, we will let Marc come on.

When Yao comes off, we will let Marc off!" After narrowing his eyes, Su Feng said.

"But, didn't you just say that in our system, we can't use Marc like the Warriors use Yao?" Kobe asked.

Su Feng shook his head and said, "I said that before to tell you why we can't make changes like the Warriors."

Kobe said as if he understood: "You mean, if we can think of a way to not reduce the offensive efficiency when Marc is not on the court, then we can use Marc like the Warriors use Yao?"

Su Feng nodded, "And I have already found that method."

At this moment, looking at Su Feng who suddenly stood up, Kobe understood everything in an instant.

"Do you know how crazy this is?" Kobe, feeling his chest rising and falling, said to Su Feng.

"No madness, no survival.

We can only defeat this crazy Warriors team by being crazy." Su Feng responded to Kobe with a solemn expression.

And originally, Kobe, who wanted to persuade Su Feng, also gave up this idea after noticing the extremely firm look on Su Feng's face.

"We also need a player who can form a triangle with us when playing the triangle offense." Kobe reminded Su Feng.

"Sean.

He can completely take on this responsibility." Su Feng said to Kobe.

"Do you know what kind of feeling I have?" Kobe smiled.

"What feeling?" Su Feng asked.

"I feel that compared to the Warriors, if they are rich people who can buy whatever they want, then we seem to be like poor people who have to plan every piece of cheese we buy." Kobe complained.

"It's a very vivid metaphor, but there is also an old saying in my hometown that...

Those who wear bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes." Turning to look at Kobe, Su Feng said jokingly.

……

Faced with the Warriors, who took out their family fortune to砸人in Game 2, after thinking of various ways for the Lakers, those die-hard fans who still firmly supported the Lakers almost instantly turned on the self-isolation mode.

TNT TV, Barkley said with a collapsed expression: "We all know that the Lakers have to make changes to have a chance, but to be honest, I really don't know how they should change."

After the first two games, the cards held by the Lakers and the Warriors were already revealed.

And as Barkley said...

In these two days, what crushed the Lakers fans' inner defense line was that everyone didn't know what other way this Lakers team could regain the upper hand in this series.

And on the evening of the 25th, as the live broadcast footage on the TV cut into the Oracle Arena, watching Stephen Curry, who was hitting three-pointers in a row during the warm-up in that golden wave...

For a time, the Lakers' supporters even noticed a hint of foreboding.

"I am not worried about Stephen's touch at all.

Basketball is like this, Stephen may miss some shots in some games.

But I believe he will find his shooting touch again.

Because he is such an excellent player." Before the game, while accepting an interview with the host on the sidelines, Van Gundy said.

And as the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Warriors to be moved to Oakland, in order to cheer for the Warriors, the players of the San Francisco 49ers (NFL) also appeared on the sidelines tonight.

In 1975, under the leadership of Warriors legend Rick Barry, the Warriors, who moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco and then from San Francisco to Oakland, successfully won the NBA championship trophy in the 1974/1975 season.

However, what the Warriors' supporters in the Bay Area did not expect was...

In the following quite long period, the Warriors would gradually become a team that everyone bullied.

In Su Feng's previous life, it was not until 40 years later that the Golden State Warriors won the championship trophy that they had been separated from for 40 years.

And in this life, although Nash had already set off a golden whirlwind in Oakland a few years ago...

But in the NBA, where the winner is king...

Before winning the championship, just like Sloan said when he ridiculed himself some time ago...

Losers are destined to bow their heads in front of the final winners.

Therefore, after the Warriors proved in Los Angeles that they had the ability to upset the Lakers...

At this moment, they are the great heroes in the eyes of the Bay Area fans!

"This is too outrageous. Except for when I felt such a passionate home atmosphere when I was commentating on that Dark War, this is definitely the most devilish home I have ever been to in my life!" On the live commentary stand of CCTV, before cutting into the live footage, Su Junyang couldn't help but say to Yu Jia beside him, feeling the noise on the scene that had already exceeded 140 decibels.

Undoubtedly.

For any visiting team.

Tonight, the Warriors' home court is a veritable hell on earth.

However, such a lively stadium...

It suddenly became quiet before the start of the game tonight.

And the always astute live broadcast lens also focused on Yao Ming sitting on the Warriors' bench and Marc Gasol sitting on the Lakers' bench at the same time.

The former was looking up at the big screen on the scene, his eyes full of doubt and incomprehension.

The latter silently unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup and pretended to take a small sip as if nothing had happened.

What made the Oracle Arena in Oakland turn into a library before the game even started?

And what made the live commentators from China and the United States call it crazy before the start of the game?

In the center of the court, as the Lakers' five starting players lined up in a row tonight.

At this moment, even Jeff Van Gundy, who is known as the "New Mad Scientist", couldn't help but scratch his head.

Su Feng, Livingston, Green, Kobe, and Rondo.

Although this is not the first time Su Feng has played as a center in an NBA game.

But looking at the Lakers' starting lineup tonight...

The fans in front of the scene and the TV still couldn't help but ask:

This...

Is this the Lakers' change?

"Ho——! The Lakers mean today, as long as Yao Ming is not on, then I will not put Little Gasol on?" CCTV, Su Junyang said in the tone of Director Zhang.

"But without Little Gasol, Coach Lue still gave us a shock tonight.

Because he directly pushed Su Feng to the No. 5 position!" Yu Jia exclaimed on the side.

"Are they arranging this so that Su can take over from Marc as the starting point of the triangle offense when Marc is sitting off the court?" On the Warriors' bench, the Warriors assistant coach asked Van Gundy.

Hearing this, Van Gundy shook his head.

Because "Baldy", who had been with the Lakers, knew very well that the reason why this Lakers team liked to use the triangle offense in games was just because the triangle offense was more suitable for them.

In past games, isolation, Princeton... basically, this Lakers team has used all the tactics that you can name in the NBA in games.

Therefore, if it is just to play the triangle offense, then Little Gasol is far from being indispensable to this Lakers team.

"As the level of the game increases, Marc's role on the court will often become more and more irreplaceable." Turning back to look at his assistant, Van Gundy did not directly answer the question he had just asked himself.

On the sidelines, after fiddling with the magnets on the tactical board, Van Gundy pointed to the magnet symbolizing Little Gasol and said: "As a player who plays with his brain, defensively, Marc can not only defend most of the centers in this league alone.

And, when the Lakers' outside players adopt high-pressure defense against the opponent, he is also a mobile fortress that is deeply trusted by the Lakers' outside players."

"However, Marc's role on the defensive end is not irreplaceable.

Because when facing some opponents with stronger athletic ability, DeAndre may sometimes do better than him."

After a pause, Van Gundy continued to fiddle with the magnets and said: "Look, now the Lakers are preparing to attack, Marc is standing in this position..."

"In modern basketball games, according to the offensive space theory proposed by John Davis, the key to whether your outside scorers can score efficiently on the court is whether you can provide a wide offensive space for the offensive players.

But for NBA players, because the court is too small, the inside pull-out theory has emerged."

Looking at Van Gundy, after nodding, the Warriors assistant coach said: "Use your center's outside shooting range and the defensive three-second rule to pull the opponent's inside players out of the paint, so that our players can get more strategic depth space."

"That's right.

So currently on the market, big men with shooting ability are so expensive.

But unlike other big men with shooting ability...

Because Marc is also an inside player with high post coordination ability...

Therefore, for this Lakers team, the more they play against strong teams, the closer Marc's actual role on the court will be to Su and Kobe.

Offensively, he is the key player in maintaining the balance between Su and Kobe.

On the court, as long as he can stand at the high post, then next, the Lakers can switch between Princeton and the triangle offense at will according to the needs of the offense.

Defensively, he is willing to do dirty work and hard work, and is the guarantee for the Lakers' outside players when they adopt high-pressure defense against the opponent's players.

And in Game 2, the reason why we were able to suppress this Lakers team in the second half was because Yao perfectly suppressed Marc in the second half of the game." After patting his assistant on the shoulder, Van Gundy said.

"But tonight, Tyron has changed..." After a moment of愣了愣, the Warriors' assistant coach had gradually realized why Van Gundy had been scratching his head just now.

Although Van Gundy often uses Coach Lue to joke when everyone is chatting...

But the Warriors' assistants all knew in their hearts...

Tyronn Lue is by no means as useless as some coaches and experts say.

On the contrary...

In the eyes of the Warriors' think tank, Coach Lue has always been a coach who will never gamble with you unless he is sure.

Therefore...

Since Coach Lue dared to adjust the Lakers' starting lineup tonight, it also means that, in his opinion, he believes that the Lakers' starting lineup can compete with the Warriors.

"This is not the first time the Lakers have used a small lineup in the game.

But I always feel that the Lakers' small lineup tonight will be completely different from before.

Interesting, Tyronn.

Yao is not on, Marc is not on...

Is this your response to us in this game?" On the sidelines, after glancing at the Lakers' bench, Van Gundy muttered to himself.

And in the center of the court, at the moment when the two teams' starting five tigers stepped onto the court one after another, looking at Su Feng, who was walking towards the center circle to jump ball with Chandler to start the game...

Even if Kobe still refuses to admit it verbally to this day, in his heart, Kobe has already identified Su Feng as the God of Basketball of this era.

In the jump ball, Chandler easily jumped down the opening offense for the Warriors.

On the scene, in the cheers of nearly 20,000 Warriors fans...

After noticing that Kobe adopted the one-sided defense method in order to avoid himself抢出手, Curry dribbled the ball and directly broke through Kobe's deliberately emptied right side and entered the Lakers' penalty area in a flash.

Although I don't know why the Lakers sent out such a small starting lineup tonight.

But at this moment, the fact that the Lakers' inside height has decreased is an indisputable fact.

"In the first two games, in order to control our three-point shooting on the outside, the Lakers used this defensive method of letting in the breakthrough but not letting in the shot in large quantities in the game.

However, after the Lakers' inside height decreased, Tyronn...

Where did you get the confidence to let the players defend like this?" On the Warriors' bench, Van Gundy looked at his assistant with a puzzled expression and asked.

Jeff.

Of course, it is because the player who is guarding the Lakers' inside line at this moment...

Is the "recognized" No. 1 center in NBA history!

Pa——!

Under the Lakers' basket, under the gaze of nearly 20,000 Warriors fans on the scene, Su Feng personally扇飞了Stephen Curry's basketball dream when he returned to the penalty area!

Kobe, who had been closely following Curry, grabbed the second落点.

The Lakers took advantage of the situation to push the transition.

Danny Green broke fast and made a layup after receiving an assist from Kobe.

2 to 0!

On the sidelines, on the Lakers' bench, seeing this scene, Coach Lue's thoughts couldn't help but be pulled back to that morning of the 23rd.

"Are you saying that you will take the role of our center in the first two quarters of the game?"

Inside the Lakers' training hall, at the moment when Su Feng gave his suggestion, Coach Lue immediately thought about the feasibility of this plan.

And about five minutes later, Coach Lue touched his chin and said: "Indeed, it seems that only if you take the role of center can we perfectly fill the vacancy when Marc is not on the court."

On the side, Walton reminded: "But Tyronn, in a basketball game, there is no rule that the opponent must use a center to match up with our Su."

Coach Lue smiled and said: "Of course.

But Luke, have you ever thought that, in this way, another one of our players will directly form a mismatch on the court?"

Walton nodded and said: "But what about the defense?"

In Walton's opinion, no matter how strong Su Feng is, he cannot change the fact that he is only 201 centimeters tall after wearing shoes.

However, after shaking his head, Coach Lue said with a firm expression: "I believe in Su."

The camera returned to Oracle Arena, and after Green took the lead for the Lakers, the Warriors had the ball.

James raided the Lakers' penalty area with the ball.

But, just as he was about to make a layup, that ghostly Lakers figure suddenly appeared in front of him!

ESPN Sports, tonight's ESPN special guest Big Ben smiled and said: "In terms of actual height, Su is even a little taller than me.

And since I can play center, then Su, why can't he!"

The case is solved!

After so many years, people finally heard Big Ben admit in person that he was shorter than Su Feng.

Under the Lakers' basket, under Su Feng's interference, the炸药包thrown by James deviated from its course.

And then, Livingston, who played as the Lakers' power forward tonight, also grabbed the rebound for the Lakers before Chandler!

On the court, it was the Lakers' turn to attack, and the Warriors quickly retreated and defended, drawing lessons from the previous experience, and did not give the Lakers a chance to directly make a transition.

But after falling into the formation, the Warriors' defense still had flaws.

Because at the moment when Su Feng crossed the half-court...

The Warriors' players didn't know who should match up with him.

Positionally speaking, Su Feng is indeed the Lakers' starting center tonight.

But...

You can't really use Chandler to match up with him on defense, right?

Wake up!

In terms of Su Feng's range, once Chandler is pulled to the area near the Logo...

Then at that time, who else will protect the Warriors' rim?

At the critical moment, James stepped forward and blocked Su Feng's receiving line in time, and gave Chandler defensive instructions with his eyes.

However, just as Coach Lue said.

Regardless of whether the Warriors use Chandler to match up with Su Feng...

Under the premise that Su Feng plays as the Lakers' center, there must be a Lakers player who will form a mismatch with the opponent's inside line on the court!

On the left wing, Rondo quickly transferred the ball to Livingston's hands with quick eyes and hands.

Near the free throw line, after doing two consecutive crotch dribbles, Livingston, who dreamed back to the era of "Chasing the Wind Boy", enjoyed the瘾of breaking through for a long time.

Bang, swish!

After breaking into the basket, Livingston single-handedly split the basketball into the Warriors' basket!

4 to 0.

And at this time, on the Lakers' sidelines, Walton couldn't help but think of Coach Lue's prediction of the situation of this game on the morning of the 23rd.

"Luke, do you still remember what I said to you in Game 2?"

Inside the Lakers' training hall, looking at Coach Lue, after nodding, Walton said: "You said at the time that, compared with this Warriors team, we do not have the ability to adjust the lineup肆无忌惮like them."

Hearing this, after patting Walton on the shoulder with a smile, Coach Lue smiled and said: "That's right.

Therefore, we must make trade-offs in the game."

"Admittedly, no matter how much I trust Su, with the decrease in the height of the lineup, our inside defense cannot effectively limit the Warriors' breakthrough like in the first two games.

But, as long as we can发挥出our mobility advantage on the offensive end..."

Walton, whose eyes suddenly lit up, added for Coach Lue: "Then we can use得分to make up for our不足on the defensive end!"

Coach Lue nodded and said: "This is the trade-off we must make.

Su is right, we must have someone to deal with Yao.

And this person can only be Marc."

"But in any case, because Su, who plays at the center position, will inevitably encounter more physical confrontation...

So Tyronn, have you thought about what we should do if the Warriors use the 'air conditioning tactics' in the second half of the game?" Looking at Coach Lue, Walton raised the last doubt in his heart.

As we all know, because inside players in basketball games cannot avoid close hand-to-hand combat with their opponents, in the past, when the Lakers played with the Death Five, Coach Lue would strictly control the use time of this lineup.

However, after the Warriors明牌split their luxurious lineup...

You have to be both a father and a mother.

In addition, the intensity of this Western Conference Finals is not comparable to the Lakers' previous games...

So in Walton's opinion...

Once the Lakers can't guarantee Su Feng's physical strength when entering the decisive moment...

Then at that time, all the efforts the Lakers made in the first half will turn into泡影.

"Don't worry, when I play center, I will focus more on defense." Inside the Lakers' training hall, looking at Walton, Su Feng answered the doubts in his heart for Coach Lue.

"But in that case, what should we do with our offense?" Walton raised a new question.

Hearing this, Su Feng pointed to Livingston, who was doing one-on-one training with Kobe on the training ground at the time.

"Don't we still have 'Jordan' Sean?" Su Feng smiled.

Walton: "..."

Good家伙!

Is this the so-called "meet the soldiers, block the water, and cover the earth"?

"Why do I feel that, compared with the Warriors... we are like穷人who have to think about whether to wait until there is a discount before buying a pair of leather shoes?" Walton ridiculed himself inside the Lakers' training hall.

Looking at Walton, Su Feng乐了.

Because not long ago, Kobe had also made similar complaints.

The camera returned to Oracle Arena again.

The Warriors' third attack after the start tonight.

This time, James squeezed into the basket and steadily put the basketball into the basket.

In order to control the number of outside shots made by the Warriors, the Lakers inevitably have to give this kind of breakthrough to this Warriors team.

Coming back, the Lakers attacked.

On the sidelines, Van Gundy's assistant suggested to him: "Should we also change to a small lineup when the Lakers put up a small lineup?"

Van Gundy shook his head and said: "I am very sure that as long as we change to a small lineup, the Lakers will immediately replace DeAndre or Hassan."

After a pause, Van Gundy also signaled his assistant not to be impatient, "Now, the Lakers are trying to破解our lineup.

Although, they can indeed use Su's mismatch advantage to create mismatch advantages for others on the offensive end.

But...

If we focus our attention on their role players, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

And, as long as the Lakers can't continue their offensive firepower on the court, then at that time, I really can't think of what else Tyronn can do besides hugging Su and Kobe's thighs."

In the first two games, Su Feng and Kobe's alternating isolation can be said to be the Lakers' ultimate killer.

But after Game 2, Van Gundy believed that Coach Lue would definitely cherish Su Feng and Kobe's physical strength.

Because in this series, when entering the decisive moment, the Lakers not only have to ensure that Su Feng has enough physical strength.

And, they have to ensure that Kobe has a certain amount of physical strength to support Su Feng.

Otherwise, facing the Warriors' efficient offense relying on the overall lineup's hard power, it is impossible for the Lakers to take the招.

And to put it simply...

If the Dark War of that year was a situation where neither the Celtics nor the Lakers could do anything to each other.

Then this new Dark War is a situation where no one can defend anyone, and they can only compete to see who has a more stable offense.

On the court, looking at Livingston, who was forced to become the Lakers' pioneer tonight...

In front of the TV, God knows how nervous the Lakers fans were at this moment.

The high post is in charge of organization by Su Feng.

And the wing is in charge of拉开space by Kobe.

Without a doubt.

Even Michael Jordan has never experienced such treatment.

On the Lakers' bench, at the moment when Livingston was about to receive the ball and launch an attack, Coach Lue turned to look at Bogdanovic and said: "I will replace you in 6 minutes.

At that time, just like the pre-game design, fire away, Bojan!"

And at this moment, it is absolutely impossible for Van Gundy to think that...

Tonight, the Lakers' opening main offensive points will be taken by 'Jordan' Livingston and 'Pippen' Bogdanovic.

Online, whether it is a枫黑or a Kobe black, they like to黑that these two people do not trust their teammates and prefer to do it themselves.

But, where do they know...

In this Lakers team, Su Feng and Kobe have never doubted the strength of their teammates.

On the court, after Kobe吊将the ball into Livingston's hands, without any hesitation, Livingston immediately运起the basketball and launched an attack on the阵地守by Chandler.

And as one of the fastest centers in the NBA with lateral movement speed, after noticing that Livingston was preparing to急停dry拔, Chandler also quickly貼了上去.

Seriously!

Who told you that Livingston can only dry拔and fade away?

Don't you know that when he participated in the draft, he was recognized as the "Magic Johnson接班人"?

Although he has long lost the explosive physical qualities of his youth.

This ball is obviously not a shot.

But...

Buddha!

Under the Warriors' basket, bowing down to Chandler, Livingston scored another point for the Lakers!

At this moment, while hammering his chest, Livingston also cast a grateful look at Su Feng and Kobe.
