Chapter 347 A Laughing Chapter
Chapter 347 A Joke
One day later, the Lakers still used the same tactics at the Great Western Forum, and it was the Lakers who won this time.
他们以113:108，5分险胜，成功的将系列赛大比分扳成了2:2平。
In this game, Li Weisi scored 24 points and sent 11 assists through running without the ball. It seems that the statistics are quite good, but the shooting rate is only 42%, creating a new low in the playoffs. However, he is also better than Other teammates have good shooting percentages. How can the Warriors win in this situation?
In fact, this time Nelson also tried to reduce Li Weisi's defensive pressure and create more shooting space for Li Weisi through horn tactics and pull-out tactics, but this did not change the essence of the Lakers' defense.
After all, the Lakers recognized it, and they just strangled you, Li Weisi!
It's a pity that the Warriors' other players couldn't break the Lakers' quick help defense strategy when they had a local advantage. Even though Malone and Mullin scored a lot of points, compared with the Lakers' offense, the gap is still obvious.
When the Lakers won again, the public opinion field flipped again for a while.
The Warriors fans who had always believed that the Warriors could definitely win were slapped in the face and changed their minds in an instant.
At the same time, most of the critics from the outside world have turned towards the Lakers. The whole street is saying that Jiang is still old and hot, so that the words about the 86 playoffs will be staged again a few days ago, and the boxing is afraid of the young, have long been forgotten.
Facing the reversed comments, Li Weisi didn't care at all. He was sitting in the recording room at the moment, looking through the recordings of these scenes, hoping that he could find a solution.
However, after watching for a whole day, he still couldn't find a way to change himself to make a change and win.
Because this tactic itself is a conspiracy, he told you clearly, you, Li Weisi, don't even think about shooting, just let other people beat me to death.
Of course, the implementation of the specific tactics is not that simple. Since the zone defense is still not allowed at this time, the Lakers used a large number of fake zone defenses for the defensive strategy of "one eye on the four" for the sake of sight.
Some people say that the introduction of zone defense in the NBA is to limit O'Neal's big inside killer. In fact, such a statement is untenable.
Long before the introduction of the zone defense, many famous coaches such as: George Karl, Nelson Sr., Pat Riley, Chuck Daly, etc. were veterans who would play zone defense.
Since Stern came to power, he has been working silently to cancel illegal defense and introduce the concept of zone defense.
For Stern, he is proficient in the influence of NBA rules on basketball itself. Although offense wins the box office and defense wins the championship, how can the enthusiasm of the audience be mobilized without wonderful games and only drowsy scoring?
However, Stern is scheming after all. He did not change the rules as soon as he came to power. He adopted the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water. He started to weaken the illegal defense after he came to power. By the time the 0102 season was completely canceled, he spent nearly 20 years. It takes time to complete, and the painstaking efforts and time spent in it are difficult to measure.
It is still in the early stage of reform, and illegal defense still exists, but Riley already knows the rules themselves well. Through some appropriate pseudo-zone defenses, he can't help but restrain Li Weisi, and at the same time firmly guard the paint area, making it impossible for the Warriors to play in the paint. Easy scoring inside.
At the same time, the outside line was completely exposed to the Warriors, and they were allowed to shoot from the outside line.
The Warriors' offense mainly relies on Li Weisi as the core, connecting the inside and outside lines in series to create a firepower network covering the entire half court.
Now that Li Weisi is choked and the inside is heavily defended, what the Warriors can do is to shoot from the outside and play these two moves with other stars to deal with the Lakers.
In the second game, the Warriors felt good from the outside and shot the Lakers, so the Lakers lost miserably.
But outside shots fluctuate too much. Even after 30 years, the three-point shot has become the mainstream tactic of every team, and there are still situations where more than a dozen shots are missed, not to mention the 80s now.
So in the third and fourth games, the Warriors' outside shooting percentage dropped, and the Lakers' tactics succeeded.
Therefore, it is very easy to crack this tactic. As long as other teammates make shots, there is no problem at all. The problem is not with Li Weisi at all.
Therefore, even if Li Wei broke his head and wanted to find the answer from himself, it was completely different.
Frank is much wiser than Li Weisi's dead end. On the day before the game, instead of saying something to cheer the players up to put pressure on the players, he organized everyone to take hot springs, massage (vegetarian) and other methods to decompress the players. .
As for the rest, nothing much to say.
It can be said that the timing of Frank's actions was just right.
Although the Warriors' players are strong, their overall age is still relatively young, and their strength is greatly affected by emotions.
Just one season of playoff experience is not enough for them to fully grow. Therefore, at this time, there is no need to put pressure on them. After all, none of them don't know how important the game is.
Instead, they need to be decompressed, so that they are completely released from the tense atmosphere.
But to do this, neither Li Weisi nor Nelson can do it. It can only be done by Frank, which is justifiable and reasonable.
On the last day of May, the fifth game between the Warriors and the Lakers, the key Tianwangshan battle officially started.
Tonight's start, the Warriors' outside line, as if equipped with an 8x mirror, is accurate enough to fly.
Both Mullin and Curry hit 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, making the Lakers' defense completely useless.
In the first quarter alone, the Warriors scored 43 points in a single quarter. Such a high score makes people mistakenly think that this is not a playoff, and the intensity is probably not as good as the regular season.
In such a situation, even though the Lakers also scored 27 points in the first quarter, it still made the Lakers lose as much as 16 points in a single quarter.
This is the characteristic of the "box-1" tactic. Killing people can also kill themselves. Now it seems that the Lakers are going to commit suicide tonight.
Sure enough, in the second quarter, the Lakers still did not adjust their defensive strategy, which caused the Warriors' firepower to remain undiminished. They scored 41 points in a single quarter and scored 84 points in the first half, almost catching up with some teams' scores in the entire game.
And this situation also pushed the Lakers to a desperate situation. They trailed by 57 points at 84:27 at halftime, making the crucial and highly anticipated battle of Tianwangshan a joke.
Fortunately, this is the home court of the Warriors. If it was the home court of the Lakers, the fans might have already started to leave.
I really can't bear this crime!
Under such circumstances, the Lakers players completely broke out in the locker room during the halftime break.
