What is a five-star team? This is. The five points are spread out, and it is easy to play. In addition, the current league has begun to implement free movement rules, which makes them even more powerful. And unlike the original time and space, this is a real team.

, a real five-star team. Suddenly the Lakers are really a bit like a dream. To be honest, playing like this, except when playing in the All-Stars, who has ever faced an opponent with all-stars in five positions? This is not

Is that too much nonsense? But, tonight this is the truth.

Lakers fans on the Internet are naturally very angry. They are all accusing the Golden State Warriors of being too shameless. It has always been the Universe team. From three All-Stars, it became four, and four became

There are five of them. Among them, there are two who are close to super giants. This is simply not comparable to the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference who make up the numbers. The Lakers felt huge trouble from the beginning.

An air cut, you can't stop it.

Cousins ​​held down the Lakers' perimeter defense with a pick-and-roll, creating a good opportunity for Curry. And, obviously, for the first time since he came to the Golden State Warriors, he felt what advanced sharing means.

Basketball. When Durant came to the Warriors, he said that he felt what high-level basketball was. Now, Cousins ​​feels the same way.

He only needs to block people and take action immediately from the outside. After Bogut and Cole trained his pick-and-roll skills, he has improved a lot compared to the Kings and Pelicans. For example, if you don't understand the ball, then you don't understand the ball at all.

I don’t know what a high-quality pick-and-roll is. I guess not many people can really say it. First of all, you must be able to play, and at least you must have played in a regular full-court game. No matter what level, whether you have played or not, then

They are two different things. To talk about subtle things, low-quality pick-and-rolls and not being able to block people are one aspect, and the position you choose to stand is also very important. For example, if the pick-and-roll position you choose is relatively flat, then if the ball passes,

Defenders with relatively good defensive ability can directly follow the ball carrier and go around in front. Going around the pick-and-roll is never just about going behind. If you are more confident in the front, you can also do it. Among the masters, such as Kawhi

Leonard. He is a master of forward pick-and-rolls. That’s why his defense is so difficult to break through, because the forward pass is more effective than the back pass, and the time difference is smaller. It’s just that the difficulty of the forward pass is undoubtedly greater than that of the back pass.

Some. In this aspect, Westbrook paid more attention to the ball. At least before it hit the ball, he was relatively calm, so he chose a beautiful forward defense to break the screen.

Curry's physical fitness is not as good as his. He knows that he can use his body to create confrontation and delay for Curry. He can't get started, but he can still provide direct physical confrontation. Especially when dealing with such physical fitness, his explosiveness is not as good as his own.

When a player is playing, physical confrontation is the best way to control him. And the free movement rules are for without the ball, without the ball, without the ball. Important things should be said three times. This is also Larry Brown's training method.

, he asked Westbrook, who has better physical attributes, to use a direct forward approach to defend Curry, which means more confrontation. This is Curry's weakness. When Curry takes shots in confrontation, his shooting rate is not particularly good. But once there is

Opportunity and space, even just a little bit, will definitely make you cry.

So this arrangement was Larry Brown's idea. It can be regarded as giving full play to Westbrook's physical fitness and targeting Curry's weaknesses.

After all, there is still a gap between Westbrook's defensive skills and Rondo Beverley. Even though he was nicknamed Iron Lock in college, he has been in the NBA for so many years and has been playing offense, but he is still far behind those professionals. So do this

, is the simplest and crudest defensive method. But they are not stupid. Almost every time they play against the Lakers, both sides are fighting wits and courage. From the players to the head coach, they are constantly fighting.

Well, he also made full use of Cousins' size, allowing him and Curry to create a pick-and-roll angle similar to a rectangular square or a diagonal. Now, coupled with the era of mobile pick-and-rolls,

Immediately, Westbrook was blocked solidly. The Lakers substituted players to cover up the defense, but they were still a step late, because this guy Curry is known as the number one sharpshooter in history. His reputation is not in vain, he only needs a little

He has enough shooting space and shooting time, and he can shoot directly with his hand raised.

Basketball, hollow into the net!

Even though Covington pounced, he was still slow.

In fact, if it were someone else, this ball would be a sure-fire way to interfere with the defense, but facing Curry, this ball seems a bit unsightly. A little space is enough for the Warriors No. 30.

. Without this ability, how can he be regarded as the number one sharpshooter in history? He is really a cabbage. Moreover, this ball is not only blocked well by Cousins, Curry’s ball carrier chooses to cut into the pick-and-roll angle, which is also a very good shot.

Important point. A perfect pick-and-roll requires the cooperation of the pick-and-roller and the ball carrier. This is also the key point of the team that Cole has been pursuing.

The transmission and cutting system is indispensable in this aspect.

The Lakers immediately hit the low post. Cousins ​​​​is indeed good. He has enough tonnage, sufficient strength, stable bottom plate, and can hold up. However, in the era of free movement rules, there are several rules that also increase Tang Qian's offensive ability. For example, you

Like last season, it was okay. When defending an inside position to catch the ball, you can use your arms to slightly block the direction of the ball to make it more difficult for him to catch the ball. This move was often used when defending Tang Qian.

Especially for those with strong upper body strength, doing this can cause a lot of interference when Tang Qian catches the ball. Similarly, when you are in a low position, you touch the opponent's arm with your arm.

This is used to form a confrontation, slow down the opponent's success rate of catching the ball and the probability of making smooth movements directly after catching the ball. Before the promulgation of the free movement rules this season, it was a gray area, and basically it would not be too much.

Not to mention the post-game.

It is also not allowed to use both arms to exert force on the opponent during a fight.

The most classic one is the duel between Kobe and Anthony in the Western Conference Finals. In this era, especially the era of free movement, it is all fouls, and you can graduate with six fouls in minutes. Therefore, you will find that the current requirements

Confrontations between players are becoming less and less, and they are becoming more and more civilized. Almost catching the ball will go smoothly. In the past, this was a normal thing when real stars were fighting each other.

In this way, unless multiple people double-team Tang Qian to catch the ball, there will be almost no confrontation. It is just that when you squeeze back, the other party will force you to resist and try not to give in. This is already considered very tough.

. No wonder some famous players in the past couldn’t understand this matter. Tang Qian himself has experienced several changes in the rules, and he also feels that the league’s defense is becoming more and more nonsense. Unless it is the kind of non-physical contact defense, such as stealing,

Blocking shots, stepping back, and other types of defense. Direct physical confrontation defense is becoming less and less popular now. After this rule was implemented, Beverley's previous method of defending Durant no longer worked.

Because of the league regulations, you have to move freely.

Therefore, Tang Qian catches the ball with extraordinary ease this season. Even if the inside line behind him is strong, he can't exert much effort. He can only wait for him to receive the ball before he can start physical confrontation. This will undoubtedly make the difficulty of the offense decline again.

, dropped again. In this way, Tang Qian could make a comfortable move, a low test step, and then directly inserted into it, and scored the goal with Cousins ​​​​in front of him. Cousins ​​​​also wanted to cry but had no tears. This boy

With this defensive rule this season, what do you want me to do? Damn it, when someone catches the ball, you can't touch him too much or challenge him. Tell me, how do you do this? Get the ball comfortably.

The smoothness of technical movements that can be immediately connected to catching an uncomfortable ball is completely different, isn't it?

Who doesn't know that the more comfortable and smooth the movements are, the higher the hit rate will naturally be.

What's so damn hard to defend is the Lakers' No. 29, who is a complete low-post offensive monster. It's really difficult for him to make moves after receiving the ball comfortably. Sometimes he even feels powerless.

But this rule is not for him alone. On the offensive end, the Warriors played a mid-court stretch near the free throw line. Because it is almost impossible to delay without the ball, there are loopholes everywhere, and Tang Qian must also try his best.

It is possible to make up for these leaks. In this way, even if the distance is not so wide, the chances and success rate of attacking players will be greatly increased in disguise.

After Cousins ​​got the ball comfortably, he directly charged into it, bumped into George who had replaced him, and then pushed away the latter and scored the goal. In this way, Cousins ​​was in a much better mood. The rain turned.

It's sunny.

The Warriors' five-star lineup is really unstoppable. The success rate on the offensive end is too high. After getting used to it, it has completely unbreakable offensive ability. I'm afraid it was always like this in the past, not to mention the current defensive environment. Even if it is

Tang Qian tried his best to interfere with a few and lost a few blocks, but it was still difficult to block the opponent's edge. At this time, Kobe said in the ESPN live broadcast room: We can no longer be passive. Defense is so bad in this era.

It's a very luxurious thing. Although I don't want to admit it, in this era we need to attack, attack, and attack again. Especially when playing against a five-star team like this, don't worry about losing points and focus on attacking.

It seems that the Lakers also heard what Kobe said. After Larry Brown tried to combine offense and defense for a while, he found that... it didn't work at all. Instead, too much energy was wasted on the defensive end, which led to a decrease in efficiency on the offensive end. And

During the substitute period, although Tang Qian did not end up on the Lakers' side, the opponents were even more perverted than last year. At least three All-Stars were always left on the court to lead the team. You say this, it is not too much. Of course, in normal games

They won't do this, but facing this team that has won three consecutive championships, Cole believes that they deserve to do this.

All of a sudden, the two sides entered a complete confrontation stage.

The Warriors put an elbow screen up, and then Durant went down, caught the ball and shot, and hit the ball. Since there can't be any off-ball confrontation in the new season, it will be even harder to defend Durant alone. Even if George passes,

It was also the fate of being shot by Yan Qian. Two people share the same position. You can see what the situation is like in this season so far in his career. George has been crushed in all aspects. His scoring and shooting percentage are not even on the same level. Durant's single-point explosion

, that is unsolvable. You have to admit this situation, and you have to admit it, and you have to admit it even if you don't admit it. This is a fact. But Durant hit one, and Tang Qian immediately came inside the three-point line on the offensive end.

With one step, he built a wall and directly blocked Durant in place. George rushed in and succeeded with a one-handed dunk.

When the Warriors served, Curry pushed forward directly. Looking for Bogut, he suddenly cut in with a dribble. After entering, he succeeded in a sudden stop jump shot. The Lakers were also unambiguous. Tang Qian cut in without the ball and went straight up. No, this ball attracted

The defensive energy of the three Warriors players was absorbed, and then... he passed the ball directly to the bottom corner. Butler in the bottom corner took a dribble step, swayed Livingston who came to defend, and then made a steady shot into the ball. Turn.

Head, the Warriors' zipper tactics + baseline penetration turned this ball into a situation of clearing the weak side.

Then the ball was given to Livingston, who hit Wade with a fadeaway jumper.

How come this guy's move is so stable? I don't know, I thought I was facing Kobe.

Of course, this is because Wade's physical fitness has declined too much compared to his peak era. Otherwise, Livingston would never have been able to turn over and shoot this ball so easily and hit this mid-range shot. Deron passed the ball, but

The ball was too slow, and he still underestimated the defensive understanding and flexibility of this Super Universe team, so as soon as the ball passed by, someone reached out and touched it, changed its direction, and then fell into the hands of the Warriors. The Warriors

The team counterattacked directly, and Thompson hit a three-pointer.

The Lakers wanted to slow down the pace, but it didn't seem to escape the clutches of the Warriors. The Warriors suddenly launched a double attack on the line. Deron is now aging and cannot break through this point. At the same time, Iguodala + Livingston

Both of them are tall and have long arms, so the ball was almost missed. After Yi Jianlian got the ball, time was running out, so he could only shoot directly.

The three-pointer was missed. George touched the offensive rebound. He rushed in, but was blocked by Bogut. When he shot at the same time, Iguodala's elusive defense nearly blocked him.

.Although he accelerated his shot in the end and escaped the fate of being blocked, it was unlikely that the ball would go in. The Warriors defended another one from the Los Angeles Lakers, and then turned around and got another, a direct three-pointer!!!

!!!

Damn it! This ball is the specialty of the Warriors. If you think it is not an opportunity, you can just pull it up and operate it normally.

And then you can actually go in, so... what else can you say?

Westbrook of the Lakers wanted to challenge, but this was just a regular season game. Larry Brown didn't want to play the main player at the No. 1 position, so he thought for a moment and chose to replace Beverley.

Deron Williams. While strengthening defense, he suppresses the rhythm more slowly. Anyway, now is the era of free movement rules. When you pass the ball to the low post, the requirements are much lower than before. Yes, this period of the Lakers

The rhythm of the team's play is too chaotic. If it continues to be so chaotic, it will probably be caught and knocked unconscious by the opponent. Let alone this five-star Warriors team, many teams have the ability to score points quickly.

.This is one of the biggest characteristics of the small ball era. The game is always wasted. It is easy to win a big victory of 20 or 30 points.

The comprehensiveness of this small ball era is inseparable from it.

Kobe Bryant said in the ESPN live broadcast room: Larry Brown is going to slow down the rhythm. The Lakers were too flustered during this period and had no rhythm at all. So control it. This method is very sophisticated. Score a few goals first.

Let the team's mentality stabilize again.

Rick Barry said: But basketball is still based on hard power. This year's Golden State Warriors, I think, are unstoppable. Even the Los Angeles Lakers, who have been the dominant team for three consecutive years, can't be effective. The lineup advantage,

It's too scary. Of course, even though the Los Angeles Lakers lost, it's an honor. Five peak All-Stars, wow ~ this is basically a dream lineup that can only be had in the game, okay?

Tang Qian easily caught the ball and was immediately surrounded. It could be seen that even though they were leading a lot now, they were still very serious and focused on this game. Mainly, they were defeated every time in the playoffs.
To be continued...
