I’m Really Playing Basketball

On May 14, 2019, the highly anticipated G1 of the Western Conference finals kicked off at Oracle Arena.

Before the start of the game, the Warriors and the Lakers, the No. 1 player in the Western Conference in the regular season, both had a large number of supporters.

Let's just put it this way, the Lakers and Warriors' playoffs, according to the predictions of experts in the media and celebrities, are really strikingly similar.

This is a real 55-50 series.

No way, the two teams' playing style and personnel composition are too similar.

Leonard is Ron Howard's apprentice and younger brother, Paul George is Wade's apprentice and younger brother, and Jokic is Chen Xiao's apprentice and younger brother.

Teams led by such three superstars are so similar in style and style of play, it's hard for you to make a choice.

In G1 of the finals, two teams that are very similar and familiar with each other have not changed their starting lineup.

The Lakers on the road will start with center Jokic, power forward Siakam, small forward Leonard, shooting guard Paul George, and point guard Lowry.

On the Warriors side, center Chen Xiao, power forward Nongmei, small forward Jaylen Brown, shooting guard Kelai, and point guard Devin Booker.

It can be seen from the starters of the two teams.

The centers of both teams can attack and pass.

The power forwards of both teams can run, jump and finish.

The small forwards of both teams can also defend and attack.

The shooting guards of the two teams are very strong offense and very nervous, and at the same time they are both very top-notch defenses.

The point guards of the two teams can attack unreasonably. Relatively speaking, the styles of point guard Devin Booker and Lowry are more different. Although they can attack unreasonably, Lowry's style is more different. Organization and defense, physical confrontation is significantly stronger.

So, so many people say that these two teams are similar is definitely not a joke.

The Warriors actually hope it's a joke, if they can.

The Warriors actually don't want the Lakers to be similar to themselves.

If Wade and Ron Howard are both at their peak, the Warriors hope that the two teams are similar, so that the stronger team can completely surround each other, and the other team has almost no chance of winning the series.

Let's just put it this way, in a match between two similar teams, the weaker team will suffer greatly.

He knows what you know, and he is better than you. Isn't this a pain in the ass?

Just like the first quarter of this game, neither team had any reservations.

Even in the first quarter of G1 between the two teams, almost all stats are exactly the same.

So much so that the commentator of the game, Mai Zi, said, "It's as if two identical teams are playing!"

But in the end, the scores of the two sides in the first quarter were not similar.

After the first quarter, the Lakers on the road led the Warriors by 11 points 34-23.

In the first quarter, although the two teams had the same stats, the hit rate was different.

The Warriors are only 33.3 percent, while the Lakers are 52 percent.

The reason for this is that the Warriors' perimeter players are one piece worse than the Lakers in terms of hard power.

Jaylen Brown and Kawhi Leonard.

Claire and Paul George.

Even Devin Booker and Lori are at a disadvantage. This is not because Devin Booker is not as strong as Lori, but because Lori is very strong. After the two faced off, Devin Booker was indeed at a disadvantage.

In this case, in the first quarter, Kelai made 0 of 2 and 0 of 2 three-pointers, and it was very uncomfortable to be entangled by Paul George.

Jaylen Brown and Devin Booker were also 0-for-2 and played very uncomfortable.

Although the opposing Lakers players were not easy, they were not so miserable.

Leonard went 3 for 6, 1 for 3 three-pointers, 2 for 2 free throws, and scored 9 points.

Lowry made 2 of 3 and 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 6 points.

Paul George made 4 of 7 and 1 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 9 points.

It can be seen that the Warriors made few shots in the first quarter of the three outside lines, while the Lakers made a lot of outside shots in the first quarter.

Because in the first quarter of this game, two similar teams had completely different focuses on the offensive end.

The Lakers know that they are stronger on the outside, so they play crazy on the outside. Leonard, Paul George and Lowry are very strong offense.

On the other hand, the Warriors know that their outside line is weak, so they attack the inside line more.

There is no problem with this strategy.

The problem is that Nongmei scored 2 of 6 in the first quarter and only scored 4 points.

Although Chen Xiao scored 5 of 8 in the first quarter and 2 of 4 three-pointers, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, but this could not fill the hole that appeared at the same time inside and outside.

From the fact that Chen Xiao didn't have a single free throw in the first quarter, you can see what the Lakers' defense against Chen Xiao was.

When Chen Xiao was inside, Jokic used his height to influence him, neither fouled nor relaxed, and made full use of his height advantage.

When Chen Xiao pulled out, Siakam pulled him out. He also did not give Chen Xiao a chance to catch the ball and shoot easily, so he covered Chen Xiao one-on-one.

The Lakers' defense is not aggressive at all, the essence is covering.

Because the Lakers' fronts Leonard and Paul George and Siakam's defense are too strong and too fast to move.

With three such strikers moving, the Lakers' defense has no loopholes at all. The one with the fastest assist defense and the one with the fastest switching speed.

The players of the Warriors include Chen Xiao, you can shoot, but if you want to find an open opportunity to shoot that simple blue, you definitely can't!

Therefore, in the first quarter, the Warriors' offense was very difficult.

This is also the reason why the Warriors shot 33.3% in the first quarter. Chen Xiao was able to hit 5 of 8. That's because the Lakers' defense against Chen Xiao was one-on-one. Xiao's one-on-one ability is there, the strongest in history, so even if one-on-one is difficult, Chen Xiao can score efficiently.

But Claire, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker and even Thick Eyebrows don't have such strong personal abilities.

In fact, the Warriors' defense is also like this. The thick eyebrows, Klai and Jaylen Brown's forward lines are also extremely mobile, and the Lakers actually don't have many opportunities to attack.

But judging from the first quarter, the individual ability of the Lakers players is higher than that of the Warriors when facing offenses that have no chance.

In the second and third quarters of this game, the two teams continued to fight fiercely.

The Warriors' backup lineup led by Roger and Wade is definitely stronger than the Lakers' reserve lineup.

But Kobe obviously intentionally compressed the rotation time in this game. In this game, Klai, Paul George, Lowry, Jokic and Siakam all played for 40 minutes.

Good guy, you can really do whatever you want when you are young!

I have to say that when the head coach of Ke Lao, he really has the style of the old boss Qiao, not to mention the technical and tactical ability, the judgment of the game is really good.

The Lakers' rotation is actually very strong, Nick Young, Kuzma, Jordan Clarkson, McGee, Zubac, Lowe, Hart, etc.

But from the names of this group of players, it can be known that the Lakers' rotation lineup exploded.

When this group of players is not bursting, reduce the rotation time.

Under Kobe's strategy, the two teams were evenly matched in the second and third quarters.

When the game entered the fourth quarter, the Warriors were behind by 7 points. From the end of the first quarter, they trailed by 11 points to the fourth quarter. The Warriors chased 4 points in these two quarters. Thanks to Wade and Roger's rotation time.

According to the situation of this game, and the fact that the fourth quarter came up, the boss used all the main force, so before the start of the fourth quarter, the Warriors fans actually felt that the team was in a bad way.

Many experts and celebrities also think so.

But at the end of the game, the score was 118 to 110, the home team was ahead, and the Warriors actually completed a big reversal in the fourth quarter!

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors scored an explosive 42-27 in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers collapsed.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors blew up!

So much so that at the end of the game, the Warriors fans themselves were blinded.

In the fourth quarter, Jokic made 0 of 3, Siakam made 0 of 3, Paul George made 0 of 4, and Leonard made 0 of 5.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the Lakers, except Lowry, scored 5 of 7 and 3 of 4 three-pointers.

Then he was madly pushed back by the Warriors.

He directly surrendered the victory he had obtained.

As to why the Lakers, who had the advantage in the first three quarters, collapsed in the fourth quarter, even the Boss of the Division couldn't understand after the game.

In the end, the boss of the department could only say, "Maybe they were afraid when they saw God, and I don't know any other reason."

Ke Boss, this must be an exaggeration. Did Chen Xiao perform well in this match?

As a 37-year-old player, he made 15 of 27 shots, 6 of 15 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 38 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 blocks and 0 turnovers.

This performance is already very, very against the sky.

As for the Lakers' defense in this game, although Chen Xiao's defense was a single defense, every attack was a super fairy attack.

Under such a defense, he can score 38 points so efficiently and have 5 blocks on the defensive end. With Chen Xiao's current height and bounce, it is actually a bit of a disadvantage to face Jokic and Siakam in the interior. .

But Chen Xiao, relying on the prediction of his own eyes of God, still completed the task of assisting defense very well.

Although the Warriors got 60 rebounds by the Lakers in this game, Chen Xiao really tried his best.

Yes, try your best, not to turn the tide.

Anyone who has watched the game knows that although Chen Xiao performed extremely well in this game, the Lakers cut off the connection between him and his teammates, defending Chen Xiao alone, cutting off his teammates, leaving his teammates unable to organize and falling into singles.

This made Chen Xiao's outstanding performance not able to drive his teammates.

Nongmei was 7 of 16, Kelai was 4 of 12, 1 of 6 three-pointers, Jaylen Brown was 3 of 9, 1 of 6 three-pointers, Devin Booker was 3 of 12, 0 of 6 three-pointers...

The four starters of the Warriors performed like this. If you say that this game can be won, it is really the ancestral grave of the Warriors in this game.

The Lakers’ inexplicable power outage in the fourth quarter also pulled down the Lakers’ starting data. For example, Leonard was 10 of 26 in this game, Paul George was 6 of 20, Siakam was 2 of 11, and Jokic was 4 of 11. .

In addition to Lowry's 10-of-15 and 7-of-9 from three-pointers in this game, who is as amazing as Chen Xiao, the performance of the other four Lakers starters is also very bad.

It's just that the Lakers' four starters were badly caused by a sudden power outage in the fourth quarter, which is different from the Warriors' four starters who were out of power.

The four starters of the Lakers can be uninterrupted in the fourth quarter. This is an accident.

But the four starters of the Warriors suddenly lost power, this is not an accident.

Before Wade and Roger came to the Warriors, the Warriors always lacked a second second-in-command who could stabilize singles apart from Chen Xiao.

Now, the way Kobe and the Lakers play is to test whether the Warriors have such a player.

In the past, both Wade and Roger were fine. Now that Wade and Roger are old, who can stand up?

If no one can stand up, the Warriors are really in danger in this series.

So, even though he lost this game, Kobe was very cheerful and joking.

And although Cole won, the reason why his face was very solemn.

Then just as Kerr worried, in Game 2, the Warriors lost to the Lakers 122-128 at home.

In this game, Chen Xiao's performance was still outstanding. Although Chen Xiao, who was defended by himself, had no space, he still made 9 of 17 attacks, 5 of 10 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 26 points. With 23 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, Chen Xiao spent 45 minutes in this high-intensity game of offense and defense!

But apart from Chen Xiao, Nongmei scored 5 of 16, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 5 free throws, and scored 12 points, and finally fouled six times.

Jokic has been changing positions to attack the thick eyebrows. The pressure on the thick eyebrows is really great. Jokic stared at the thick eyebrows to fight, and Chen Xiao went to switch defenses. Such roles are completely reversed. Ke boss does have two brushes.

Kelai was 3 of 16, 2 of 6 three-pointers, Devin Booker was 3 of 16, UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com was 1-for-6 on 3-pointers, Jaylen Brown was 3-for-11 on 3-pointers and 1-of-7 on 3-pointers.

It can be seen from the three-point shooting ratio of these three perimeter players that they played one-on-one and were forced to shoot three-pointers in the end, and then the defenders in front of them were Leonard, Paul George, Lowry…

If there were no miracles, would you be able to cast it in?

As far as the singles performance of these four people in this game, how did the Warriors drag to the end and lose only 6 points

In this game, Cole was forced to helpless, increasing the playing time and tasks of Rogo and Wade. In this game, Rogo made 7 of 9, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 24 points. Jordan single to create a miracle of foul reappearance.

And Wade was 8 of 17, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points.

The two 37-year-old and 38-year-old grandpas really fought hard in this game.

Both played 37 minutes in this game.

Let's just put it this way, if it were two years ago, this Laker would definitely not be a match for the Warriors.

but now…

Although the big score is 1 to 1, everyone knows it.

"This time, the Warriors are really hanging..."

"Even, maybe the gentleman who lost four games in a row swept away!"

Dream Chaser Green was a little excited.

Judging from the content of the previous two games, in fact, a big score of 2 to 0 is more reasonable than 1 to 1.

You know, this is the home court of the Warriors!

"This Western Conference Finals, God, will there be the shame of losing four games in a row for the first time in his career?"
