I am so Accurate

Durant broke through the basket and scored again for a layup. This was truly a "death" state.

But looking back, it was Knight again. This time he moved to the bottom corner after a pick-and-roll and received a pass from Fernandez and hit a three-pointer!

In the healthy competition between the Lakers, Knight and Butler's outside shooting levels have improved greatly!

This time, Rambis could no longer contain his excitement and stood up from the bench excitedly and waved.

First there was Millsap, and then there was Knight. Tonight, for the first time, the performance of the Lakers' role players met the requirements in his heart.

And after sitting down, he looked at Harris with gratitude.

Facts have proved that his theory is correct, but there is also a certain deviation, that is, relying on role players alone is really embarrassing.

It was Harris who fixed this deviation, leaving an absolute core to act as a check on the court, and the role players would become brave enough to fight!

In fact, after you really realize this, you will find that it seems easy to think of it!

But in fact, many things in life are not like this? This is why the saying "Those who are in authority are obsessed with it, and those who are on the lookout understand clearly".

After the first quarter, the score difference on the field was 40 to 34.

The point difference remained unchanged at 6 points, but in fact the conditions on both sides of the court were completely different.

For the Warriors, they rely on Durant to continuously attack the interior to maintain the point difference;

But for the Lakers, Sun Hao was in a "shopping" state on the court in the next few rounds. It was the outstanding performance of his teammates that allowed the team to maintain the point difference.

The most direct result of this subtle difference is that although both sides have cores on the field, the consumption on the field is different.

This also indirectly achieved the situation Rambis expected.

Because his ultimate purpose of giving more ball rights to role players was to reduce the effect of the dual-core on the court.

Now this can be considered a different approach to the same goal, and it is obviously more in line with the needs of the competition.

So it seemed that the score had not changed, but the difference came out in the second quarter.

After the main players of both sides return, the Lakers' physical fitness is obviously better than that of the Warriors.

This advantage would not be too obvious in normal games, but it becomes different in a close game like tonight.

Just like when a scale is balanced, even if you add a small weight to one end, the scale will obviously tilt to one side.

As a result, the Lakers launched an 11-2 offensive before halftime, expanding their lead by 11 points to 63-52 at halftime!

Such a duel also made Barkley smile in the commentary box, and he was thinking about how to get revenge on O'Neal.

O'Neal had treated him badly enough on the show before.

Of course, although the 11-point difference is not small, it is far from the point where the winner can be decided.

For a small ball team like the Warriors, 11 points is simply not enough to catch up if they really want to play the rhythm.

The Lakers are also very aware of this, so during the halftime break, Harris has been emphasizing to the players the issue of concentration at the beginning of the half.

"This is a game you can't afford to lose, so give it 120% of your concentration."

Harris didn't say it clearly, but these words were the best reminder.

If Careless loses this Christmas battle, they will send Rambis away from the team with their own hands!

Facts have proved that Harris's reminder was timely and effective.

After returning from the second half, the Warriors obviously accelerated the pace of the game.

At this time, the Warriors chose the same approach as the Bulls before. When they fell behind, they needed to speed up to catch up and overtake the score.

But Nelson soon discovered that something was not normal about the Lakers.

With a double-digit lead, the Lakers did not show any intention of underestimating the opponent. On the contrary, they played more focused than in the first half.

And concentration means the success rate of positional warfare. When the success rate is guaranteed, it is actually difficult to speed up the rhythm on the court.

And the difference between Curry and Sun Hao is also reflected. At this time, he has not yet been able to forcefully speed up with his powerful ultra-long-distance scoring ability.

So the Warriors feel like people sitting on the bus anxious to be late for work, but it's not up to them to decide whether they can catch up.

Fortunately, Durant continued his "death state" in the first half and still allowed the Warriors to hold on to the score in this quarter.

At the end of three quarters, 91 to 76.

With a 15-point difference, the Lakers' possibility of winning this Christmas game is getting bigger and bigger.

Especially at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' bench team was getting more and more excited as they played, and the score soon opened up to 20 points.

"Shaq, what's your favorite joke?"

Barkley finally couldn't help but feel proud at this time.

"beep!"

At this time, a short whistle came from the sidelines.

Nelson replaced most of the main players in advance.

This was a forced substitution adjustment by the Warriors, but it was at this time that everyone noticed the Warriors' lineup on the field.

Curry, Thompson, Danny Green, Durant, Ibaka.

After more than three quarters of competition, the Warriors' "Five Deaths" that many fans have been waiting for are finally here!

This wave of five children arrived much later than expected.

But this time it wasn't that Nelson deliberately left his big move behind like he did when he played the Knicks before, but that he also had some scruples.

What he is worried about is naturally Yao Ming.

The state Yao Ming showed in the opening game would easily lead to failure if Ibaka were to face him in the paint.

So from a certain perspective, Nelson was trying to avoid Yao Ming in making substitutions.

However, at this time, Harris' judgment showed some deviations. He did not replace the main players immediately, but kept the substitutes who performed well on the court.

His idea should be the same as in the last few minutes of the first quarter, he wants to use substitutes to wear down the Warriors' main force, so that when the Lakers' main force comes back, he can take advantage of the situation and win the game.

But he overlooked one thing. What the Warriors put on the court at this time was the death five of the main lineup, which was essentially different from the lineup in the second half of the first quarter!

As a result, before Harris could react, the Warriors launched a lightning-fast offensive.

Curry's outside three-pointer, Ibaka's block and Durant's chasing three-pointer, Thompson received another chasing three-pointer from Curry's pass!

By the time Harris realized something was wrong, the score difference of nearly 20 points was reduced to single digits in the blink of an eye!

Harris reached out to call a timeout, and the Staples Center was agitated.

In contrast, there was a roar of cheers from the Warriors bench.

The Death Five, this magical lineup developed by Nelson, has turned the tide for them countless times in the past.

In this game they couldn't afford to lose, it was proven again!

However, Nelson's expression at this time was not as happy as that of his teammates. He looked towards the Lakers from time to time when arranging tactics.

When the timeout was approaching and Yao Ming was replaced, he pulled the players together again and emphasized the issue of tactical execution.

In fact, not only Nelson, but also O'Neal in the commentary box did not take the opportunity to counterattack Barkley at this time, but also stared at the court intently.

No matter how intense the game was in the first three quarters, in the final analysis it was all a test, because before the Warriors laid out a real five-digit game of death, the real showdown between big ball and small ball had not yet begun.

So this section is the most interesting part of tonight's Christmas battle.

Likewise, it was also the part where he was more nervous.

"beep!"

After the timeout, the Lakers started with Sun Hao, Butler, Carter, Millsap, and Yao Ming.

This is the pure starting lineup for the Lakers.

Because Millsap has outside shooting range, you can also understand him as a big ball and four small balls to a certain extent, but he is still essentially a big ball.

The real showdown moment begins!

Come on, the Lakers' offensive possession.

The Lakers' style of play is still the same as before, a triangle offense, spreading the wings and launching from the low post.

And this choice is also the most correct.

The Warriors' five small lineups don't have a true center on the field, and Yao Ming has an absolute advantage in the paint.

In the first round, the Warriors' help defense was not fast enough. Yao Ming seized the opportunity and turned around and smashed the ball over Ibaka's head!

This ball may not only be dunked, but it is necessary.

The most simple and crude thing is that the ball was dunked in, and the suppressed emotions in front of the Staples Center due to being chased by points were released immediately.

Amid the overwhelming cheers of the fans at the scene, Sun Hao took the initiative to give Yao Ming a high-five while retreating from defense.

This shows that Sun Hao also agrees with Yao Ming's offensive choice just now.

In fact, as a member of the fifth team, he knows exactly what this lineup is most afraid of.

Theoretically speaking, a three-pointer is always one more point than a two-pointer. As long as the offensive end is successful, the small-ball tactics are better than the big-ball tactics.

This is why small ball tactics are an inevitable result of the development of basketball.

But if the inside line is beaten by the opponent before the team takes a shot, then the mentality on the offensive end will definitely be affected, and failure to make a shot will be inevitable.

At that time, it will not be three points than two points, but two points than zero points.

That's why Nelson reacted that way.

The master and apprentice pair had developed the Five Small Tactics together, and they also had the deepest understanding of this tactic.

Fortunately, the Warriors' players on the field are up to par and have continued the feel they developed in the previous period.

The most Yao Ming could do was reach the free throw line, and Ibaka shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

Then the goal went in!

This time the Warriors bench was boiling again.

The magic of small ball tactics is still there!

"Let the center go to his grave!"

And at this time, rookie Leuer was shouting from the bench.

At this point in the game, not to mention the players on the field, even the players off the field were a little out of control.

It's just that this map-cannon-like attack angered so many people at once.

Oden, who was sitting off the court, unconsciously glanced at the new player on the team. He was accidentally injured.

The game on the field continues!

Yao Ming was obviously a little annoyed.

It was still a low-post single, but this time after seeing Durant assisting in defense, he did not choose to pass the ball directly. Instead, he took a step and passed from the double team to a rebound on the side and sent the ball into the basket. basket!

The moment the ball scored, Yao Ming was greeted by another burst of cheers from the Staples Center.

Yao Ming's reaction at this time was also different from usual.

He didn't treat Ibaka and Durant to eat "tomatoes", but directly spat trash talk at them:

"Do you think double-teaming can prevent me?"

If you think Yao Ming only talks Chinese trash, you are totally wrong!

You must know that O'Neal was deceived by Yao Ming for a long time in history, and Yao Ming's English was slipping!

Moreover, this trash talk was so direct that both Ibaka and Durant felt a little breathless for a moment.

It seems that they may not be able to guard Yao Ming with double teams!

"Do what you have to do!"

Fortunately, at this time, Old Nelson noticed this detail on the field and loudly reminded his players.

On the offensive end, the Warriors played the same offensive tactics. Ibaka once again got a good shot, but Yao Ming still couldn't get out.

Ibaka didn't show any hesitation. He shot directly after getting the ball.

"Dang!"

But the ball he shot hit the iron!

Putting aside his three-point shooting, it's hard not to think about his mentality not wavering after Yao Ming sprayed him with such trash talk!

Yao Ming turned around and used the protective post to defend the long rebound.

With a big center on the court, the Warriors can't even think about offensive rebounds.

In fact, they really didn't want to grab the board and immediately retreated to defend the Lakers' fast break.

Yao Ming is very good at passing the ball, so there is nothing surprising about their choice.

Yao Ming saw no chance to give the ball to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao controlled the ball to the frontcourt, continued to signal to pull away, and then gave the ball to Yao Ming!

At this time, there is no need to think about anything else, just until you are penetrated inside!

This time the Warriors reacted faster, with Durant following Yao Ming the moment he caught the ball.

Then, Yao Ming passed.

The real purpose of trash talk is to provoke your opponent into making irrational choices.

Durant's choice is what Yao Ming wants.

In fact, Yao Ming fired the ball so fast that the Warriors' defensive rotation couldn't keep up. Millsap was wide open when he received the ball!

The difference from the familiar scene in the first quarter is that Millsap's chances are better than in the first quarter!

Millsap even adjusted his posture before taking action.

The ball flew through the air in a perfect parabola.

"Dang!"

It’s a pity that it was thrown out of the basket in the end!

The tactics of this goal were perfect, but it was a pity that I was a bit unlucky in the end.

But that's okay!

Because Yao Ming turned around under the basket and pressed Ibaka on him, and he collected the offensive rebound with a nine-day moonlight!

Then, after seeing Durant helping to defend again, he passed the ball to Millsap who was open!

This is it, just vote!

Millsap took another decisive shot.

This time... still not!

It seems that he used up his outside touch early in the first quarter!

But it does not matter!

Yao Ming turned around this time, and after another prediction, he took off the frontcourt board again!

Ibaka felt like there was a cloud floating above his head, and he instantly felt an indescribable helplessness.

How can he, a 2.08-meter power forward, grab boards with 2.26-meter Yao Ming?

Then, this time, Yao Ming saw that Durant did not dare to shrink and did not pass the ball again. He turned over and put the ball over Ibaka's head, easily sending the ball in, and also caused Ibaka's thug to foul!

Yao Ming scored 6 points in a row!

The point difference was once again stretched to double digits!

Moreover, there are additional penalties!

This is fatal!
