I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 731: Steve Kerr

On May 19, 2013, at the at&t Center, the Warriors ushered in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.

The Spurs and Lakers played in the tiebreaker in the Western Conference semifinals, and the Warriors swept the Clippers 4-0 in the Western Conference finals. Therefore, this makes the Warriors wait for this game. The time is a bit long, and it is also Let the young Warriors wait a little bit.

Let’s just put it this way, these youngsters of the Warriors, now is the time to be full of energy, for rest, they can’t wait to play the Spurs immediately after playing the Clippers.

It’s okay to not rest for a day. After all, playing the Clippers has indeed given them confidence. Although the Spurs are their nemesis in the regular season, they have never won a game, but such good confidence is not used for revenge. What a pity.

Therefore, the period of waiting for the Spurs and the Lakers to decide the winners and losers in the divisional finals is indeed a tough time for this group of young warriors.

However, after waiting for so long, the game is finally coming, which still makes this group of young warriors particularly excited and excited.

At the at&t Center, even Spurs fans could feel how high morale the Warriors players were warming up on the court.

"Many of them are rookies. Although many of them are not rookies, they are also playing in the playoffs for the first time. For a group of players who play in the playoffs for the first time, they can reach the division finals for the first time. It's a great achievement"

"Many NBA superstars, in their entire lives, are unable to break through the second round and touch the floor of the conference finals."

"They've only been by Chen Xiao's side for one season, and they've achieved what most people haven't achieved."

After the warm-up of the two teams, the starters of the two teams also came to the court.

For the Warriors on the road, the starting players for this game are the regular Lopez, Nongmei, Chen Xiao, Klay and Bill.

On the Spurs side, the starting lineup for this game is Al Jefferson, Duncan, Leonard, McGrady and Ron Howard.

This season, after the Spurs signed wheat, Al Jefferson can finally start in some important games.

Al Jefferson, like Lopez, is a heavy and slow insider, and help defense has always been a big problem.

If such an insider wants to start in the current league, he needs a group of very good strikers to support.

For example, Big Lopez has thick eyebrows beside him, Chen Xiao, which makes Big Lopez not have to worry about being overwhelmed at all, just stay under the basket and protect the frame with peace of mind.

This can take advantage of Lopez's strong rim protection, so this season's Warriors, you can't feel that Lopez's defense is a loophole at all.

Well, when playing the Bucks, Big Lopez was called by Curry madly. This is indeed a little helpless.

Everyone in the Bucks can attack from the outside, but Lopez really can't do anything about it, he really needs to defend.

However, how many Bucks can there be in the entire league?

The same is true for the Spurs. Al Jefferson has strength, is larger than Lopez, has a strong rebounding ability, and has a superb mid-range and short-range mid-range shot.

For such a player, Pop is actually very reluctant to keep him on the bench, but the team struggled to find a way to make up for his help-defense problem on the court.

But after the arrival of wheat this season, all that has changed.

Maizi, Leonard, and Roger, these three long-armed monsters on the outside, spread their long arms, and the three of them seemed to be able to ban the entire stadium.

Leonard and Roger will not talk about it. This season, we need to focus on bragging about Maizi. After Maizi came to the Spurs this season, his defense was really hard.

Even Chen Xiao felt that Maizi was angry with the Wolf King and Pierce, and he had to prove something.

In fact, at the age of Maizi, he actually doesn't need to prove anything. He has a super-giant status and a championship. Now the NBA's regular season total score has reached more than 28,000 points, and the next 30,000 points, that is a sure thing.

Let's just put it this way, even if Maizi does nothing, just like Iverson in his later years, returning to the 76ers' home team to brush his scoring data to more than 30,000 points, and retiring in place, Maizi's historical ranking will not be lower than before. Fifty.

Such a historic supergiant, at the age of 33, can still have such fighting spirit on the defensive end, which is indeed respectable.

Therefore, this season, Maizi's defensive performance in the Spurs has raised Maizi's reputation by not one or two points.

He just wanted to prove to Chen Xiao that it was your fault that you didn't choose to sign me.

Now Brother Maizi, not only can he still attack, but he can also defend!

Not better than the ibaka you signed? !

Of course, Chen Xiao naturally didn't know what Maizi was thinking at this time. Chen Xiao always thought that Maizi played so hard this season because he wanted to prove something like Garnett and Pierce.

Of course, although he didn't know what Maizi was thinking at this time, Chen Xiao could feel that Maizi's eyes were not very kind in this match.

However, Chen Xiao didn't care. Anyone who knew Maizi knew that this guy, the eldest brother of his childhood friend, was not so kind.

In this year's Western Conference semi-finals, Maizi and Ke boss spat out trash talk on the court.

At the beginning of the game, on the court, the thick eyebrows jumped to the first offensive opportunity of the game for the Warriors.

After the jump ball was successful, Bill wanted to bring the rhythm to the game.

Although the Warriors are also three big and two small, the thick eyebrows can be equivalent to the speed and athletic ability of small players.

Therefore, the Warriors can be quicker, while the Spurs are definitely slower in rhythm.

Hurry up, it's definitely good for the Warriors.

The key is whether you can hurry up.

Facts have proved that Luo Ge is indeed not a small cannon.

Although Luo Ge's athletic ability is far from the opponent of the small cannon.

But Luo Ge's height is 1.96 meters, and his wingspan is as long as 2.17 meters. Such a long-armed monster is simply an enhanced version of Jordan.

In fact, Roger is indeed an enhanced version of Jordan.

Little Jordan has it, and Roger has it, and he is stronger than Little Jordan. Even Joe's family, who is from Jordan's family, leans back, and Roger is stronger.

Don't look at Luo Ge's Qiao's back known as the stuck version.

But a jam is a jam, which does not mean that the jam is not strong.

Not only strong, but also able to teach disciples.

The Spurs' young small forward Leonard is getting more and more stuck in his back.

Of course, Leonard's ability to play the ball is not as good as that of Rogo, who was born as a point guard.

Therefore, the current Luo Ge, he really played the stuck version of Qiao's back to his own style, and he can be regarded as a generation of masters.

Just like Nowitzki in history, the golden rooster is independent.

The basketball skills that I had in the past were branded as a driver, and it became the golden rooster independence of the exclusive driver.

Luo Ge's qualifications, basic data, and a burst of All-Star defense have accumulated a lot of honors, plus he has his own unique skills.

Therefore, the current Luo Ge is just one step away from success, and he can make himself the same as the drivers in history.

In fact, Rogo is now one of the few players in the league who can be crowned with a single title.

Another super-giant with the same name as Roger is in the Bucks, Ray Allen.

Therefore, many people say that if the Spurs and Bucks reach the finals, one of the NBA's two beast-level supergiants will have a history of becoming the NBA.

Therefore, whether it is Rogo or Ray Allen, they are now very serious in the playoffs.

After all, they really don't have that much time.

Facing such Roger, Bill felt quite uncomfortable at the beginning.

Bill, who wanted to play fast, had to slow down after being delayed by Roger, and then called for the help of Big Lopez. After letting him get rid of Roger a little, he could only put the rhythm of the game into position.

Gu Li

The Warriors didn't get up to speed.

Fortunately, in the positional battle, although the Warriors will suffer a lot, the Warriors' positional battle is not weak, especially Chen Xiao.

After receiving Bill's pass, Chen Xiao used his peripheral vision to look at the positions of his teammates around him. Without hesitation, facing Leonard's defense, he pushed him a little. After pushing Leonard away a little, he pulled out. It turned out to be a long-range two-point shot.

Although Leonard was slightly overpowered, Leonard's defense was still in place.

Historically, Leonard has been very good at defending James.

Xiao Zhan, who can single-handedly defend his strength and his athletic ability is at his peak, can't find a few better than Leonard in the entire league.

If it is said that in this time and space, Xiao Zhan is the best player to defend him alone, then the second person other than Xiao Zhan is undoubtedly the apprentice of this Spurs Luo Ge.

Of course, Leonard is also his apprentice. Brother Luo often brings Leonard to training with him. He also likes this unsmiling little guy who looks like an honest child, so Chen Xiao is not much in him. Throw in the experience card.

Leonard's rapid progress is also due to Chen Xiao.

A swipe!

Leonard's defense was in place, but Chen Xiao still hit.

There is no doubt that from the audience's point of view, this is a fairy ball, and it is a very morale-boosting and morale-damaging fairy ball.

However, Chen Xiao glanced at Leonard at this time, his face still had that kind of paralyzed expression that didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing Leonard like this, Chen Xiao's face was full of admiration.

He likes players like Roggo and Leonard who aren't as athletic, but who play very smart, work hard, and have a strong will.

Leonard was not affected by Chen Xiao's magic ball just now, and neither was the Spurs. Looking back, Roger and Duncan picked and rolled, Duncan held the ball high, and Bill switched to chase Roger who had no ball.

After Luo Ge took the ball to the right waist and used his height and strength to hold Bill, Duncan hit the ball to Roger with both hands.

But as a stuck version of Jordan, Roger still habitually used his strong dribbling ability to start Bill up before Kaka completed this fallback jumper.

A swipe followed by a beep beep beep!

2+1!

Two points scored, but also a penalty.

Bill was shocked, while Roger's face was as expressionless as Leonard's.

In history, Leonard's ability to draw fouls is extremely strong after his stuck version in 2017, and few do not fly in the face of a guy like Leonard.

Well, what's interesting is that Durant is usually distracted when he is helping defense, and he is also distracted from time to time when he is defending alone, but when he is defending Leonard alone, he is a rare player who is not very fooled. It is said that Durant's singles are really strong. When he really wants to play against you, his defense can go to several levels. Usually, he defends 80. When he is serious, his defense can suddenly exceed 95.

And now Roger, the same is true.

Don't look at Luo Ge's honest playing style, he has never had a reputation for cheating fouls, and there are not many breakthroughs, but Luo Ge averages more than 8 free throws per game every season.

Where did these free throws per game come from?

Take a closer look and you'll know.

Rogga made a free throw, 3 to 2.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack again. The Warriors were still trying to play fast. This time, Bill's advance was still blocked by Ron Howard.

However, this time, the Warriors forced to play fast under the signal of coach Kerr on the sidelines.

After Clay came out to catch the ball with a simple screen run, facing the defense of Maizi, he forcibly pulled up from beyond the three-point line.

The three-point offensive is indeed a good way to bring speed.

Why not let Chen Xiao shoot a three-pointer?

Because it is not so easy for Chen Xiao to catch the ball, Leonard is all attached to Chen Xiao, and most of the Spurs’ defensive attention is on Chen Xiao. , the Warriors have to pass the ball to Chen Xiao, it is impossible to get up quickly.

So, either Bill dry-pull or Clay dry-pull.

In the end, Clay was more daring.

As for letting the thick eyebrows and the big Lopez attack Duncan and Al Jefferson, um, Cole thinks he still has no problem with his brain.

In the last round against the Spurs, Klay and Beal averaged more than 50 percent of their three-pointers.

That's why Kerr bet on threes.

only…

Clang!

Facing the cover of the wheat, Clay struck the iron.

It can only be said that the Spurs and the Clippers are indeed different.

Of course, Kerr is such a tough guy, and of course he won't give up because of a loss or two.

Especially for the Warriors, knowing that positional warfare and the Spurs have no future, it is even more impossible to give up the three-pointer attack.

Even losing a game, or even losing two starts away on the road, is worth finding those tiny chances to beat the Spurs.

In the end, the Warriors lost to the Spurs 91-105.

The Warriors' three-pointers were terrible throughout the game, and only Chen Xiao and Lopez scored in double figures.

Chen Xiao made 19 of 34 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 49 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.

Big Lopez was 4 of 8, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 14 points.

In addition, Klay scored 9 points on 4 of 15 and 1 of 8 three-pointers.

And Bill was even worse, 2 of 10, 0 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 4 points.

Thick eyebrows are 3 in 3, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com scored 6 points, don't look at the high hit rate, but the chances are really nothing, stealing chickens and scored 6 points, the whole game was covered by Duncan and didn't know how to play, and it even made people feel that he didn't know how to play on the court. know how to walk.

Let's just put it this way, if Chen Xiao hadn't exploded in this game, the Warriors would have been beaten by the Spurs in this game.

Such a hard-hitting style of gambling, when your entire team is not feeling very well, if this is not a tragedy, what is a tragedy?

Therefore, at the press conference after the game, reporters all over the United States were attacking Kerr.

Why do you have to throw so many three-pointers so hard, and why can't you design more tactics for Chen Xiao and Lopez?

Kerr is very helpless to the accusations of these people. Is Chen Xiao still tired of this game?

You are using Chen Xiao as an animal!

The Warriors are going to win this game. If his teammates don't open, Chen Xiao will shoot 60 times, and he can still maintain such efficiency!

It's not that he likes to support role players, but that the Warriors must rely on role players to share the pressure on Chen Xiao if they want to beat the Spurs in this series.

Kerr knew he was doing the right thing, but instead of explaining, he took all the blame on himself.

Because, he knew, he explained, and the reporters approved of his strategy, then it was the other players of the Warriors who were blaming the game.

Since the strategy is right, the wrong person is naturally the person who implements the strategy, such as Bill and Clay.

This, definitely not!
