Chapter 679 you come and I go
The time has come to May unknowingly. Since the Lakers and the Rockets have reached the fourth game, the Warriors, who ended the series early, have already rested for 5 days.

Although the rest time is longer, in terms of maintaining state, the Warriors are not worse than the Lakers, and even better than the Lakers.

In the first round of the playoffs, it was very difficult for the Lakers to win. Regardless of the big score of 3:1, it seemed that the Lakers had an absolute advantage. They just broke a little sweat and won the game.

But in fact, from the perspective of the game, the strengths of the two teams are quite close. In the four games, the total point difference is less than 15 points, which can be said to be quite close.

On the court, the two teams almost exploded each other, especially Olajuwon, which posed a huge threat to the Lakers' defense.

Since the Lakers do not have a tall insider, the insiders Perkins and Green, as well as the substitute Michael Thompson, are under tremendous pressure. In almost every game, at least one of them graduates with full fouls.

The tallest of the three is Michael Thompson, who is 35 years old and on the verge of retiring, but even so, he is only 208cm, and he cannot guard Olajuwon at all.

Fortunately, the Lakers' perimeter strength is not comparable to the Rockets.

This season, Magic Johnson has consciously reduced his autonomous offense and handed over more of the team's offensive opportunities to Worthy. people.

However, although the average scoring per game has declined, it does not mean that their strength has declined.

Although the three of them are now 30 years old, they are still at their peak, and they are still three terrible star players.

Therefore, in the game against the Rockets, the three of them can at least ensure that the two of them play normally every night. On the Rockets side, although the addition of Jeff Malone did help Olajuwon, but at the most critical moment , still short of the last breath.

However, compared with the Rockets today, the Warriors do not have a super insider like Rio Rajuwon, but the Warriors have already surpassed the Lakers' outside line alone.

Comparing the outside trio of the two sides, whether it is scoring average, assists per game, shooting percentage or offensive efficiency, the Warriors are dominant.

When your strongest advantage is not as good as your opponent's, what chance do you have of winning?

However, basketball is by no means such a simple comparison that can tell the winner, and the Lakers are by no means without a chance of winning against the Warriors.

Compared with the Warriors, the Lakers have better interior space.

AC Green's mobility is very good, and Perkins' long-range shooting ability is excellent. Although the height of the two is not high, when facing the Warriors who are also pocket insiders, they are not even inferior in height.

So after the opening, the Lakers took the lead in attacking. With Green's bounce, the Lakers won the jump ball.

On the first offense, Perkins didn't go inside at all, but stood at the 45-degree three-point line, attracting Rodman's attention while waiting for an opportunity.

Without Rodman in the penalty area, the Warriors' defensive system suddenly collapsed in half. Moses Malone's current footsteps can't keep up with Green's speed at all.

If you want to talk about strength, Green will not be Malone's opponent, but it is impossible for the Lakers to let Green sit and play Malone. Compared with the position, the Lakers also like to play fast.

Magic Johnson passed the ball over Li Weisi's head, and the basketball plunged into the empty inside lane and fell into the hands of Green who was rushing towards him.

Green, who got the ball, did not slow down at all. He twisted his waist and forcibly flew up from Malone's side. Malone sensed the direction of Green's movement, but after taking off, he still failed to cover Green.

However, Malone's block still interfered with Green's layup. Although Green's speed and bounce were very good, he was still a bit off-point at the end.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced out, but Magic Johnson followed up at this time, took off early, got the rebound in the air, and dunked with both hands. 2:0, the Lakers started the game first.

The reason why Magic Johnson was able to grab the rebound at the most critical moment was because he went down immediately after completing the pass. Since the Warriors had to deal with the fast break after the start, Li Weisi defended Johnson.

This caused Li Weisi to follow up to defend at the first time, but it was useless. After Johnson jumped up, even if Li Weisi took off with all his strength, he could only hit Johnson's face at most.

After the goal, the Lakers didn't have the slightest carelessness. The five quickly retreated, and then immediately defended and settled down, not giving the Warriors the seemingly fast break opportunity.

It's just that the Lakers retreated faster and the Warriors attacked faster.

The Warriors almost came to this half with the Lakers on both feet, and shortly after the two sides came to the half, Li Weisi seized the opportunity and directly chose to chase the three-pointer.

To be honest, Scott had been guarding against Li Weisi's move for a long time, but unfortunately it was useless. There is an essential difference between knowing that the opponent wants to do this and being able to do it.

Even when Li Weisi finished his shot, Scott hadn't been able to jump up from the ground!In this way, Scott could only stand still and watch Li Weisi complete this undisturbed three-pointer in the air.

Li Weisi hit such a shot without any suspense, and the score came to 3:2 in an instant, and the Warriors took the lead.

Then it was the Lakers' turn to attack. This time the Lakers still wanted to try a fast break, but unfortunately they couldn't succeed, but even if they were on the ground, the Lakers' offense was still changing.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Johnson immediately distributed the ball to Perkins who popped out of the three-point line after attracting a pincer.

Perkins made no adjustments after receiving the ball and quickly completed the shot. Richmond was a step late and did not interfere with the three-pointer. He also made a hit, 5:3.

Li Weisi controlled the ball for halftime. Compared with the last time, Scott was very tight this time, and he didn't dare to give Li Weisi so much space.

However, this time Li Weisi didn't want to continue to do it alone. He dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch and seemed to be breaking through, but suddenly flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Mu Lin who ran without the ball.

Coming to 45 degrees from the flank, Mullin flew sideways after receiving the ball, and completed a drift shot while jumping up.

Worthy, who was one step late, jumped up vigorously and tried to block Mullin, but after all, because of this step late, he couldn't even interfere.

"Shua!" A crisp voice sounded in the stadium, 5:5, the Warriors evened the score again.

After the start, the offensive efficiency of both sides was extremely high, and the two teams were even sharper, refusing to give in to each other. Both sides came and went, and no one was willing to fall behind by half a point in this game.
