In this game between the Warriors and the Lakers, Warriors head coach Mark Jackson wants to win. But Curry and Klay's pre-game performances directly destroyed the Warriors' home momentum.
He was so angry that he wished he could trade these two living treasures directly. If he really had the power to trade with the team, neither of these two people would be with the Warriors.
It's a pity that he doesn't have such power. This is why many NBA head coaches envy Coach D so much.
"According to the news on the Internet, congratulations to our Stephen and Klay. The dunk video they just paid tribute to UFO has now been trending on Twitter and trending on YouTube!" The Warriors DJ was quite excited and couldn't help it. The Warriors' attention is really low right now.
Curry, the team leader, averaged 22 points and 7 assists per game this season. In this year's All-Star voting, he actually ranked eighth among Western Conference guards.
You say it's not as good as Kobe, not as good as Nash, not as good as Paul, not as good as Westbrook. Why are Jeremy Lin and James Harden not as good as him?
James Harden leads the Rockets to a worse record than the Warriors, but the data is a little better. If James Harden's votes were tens of thousands more than Curry's, it would be acceptable. However, James Harden's votes are three times as many as Curry's. What the hell?
Jeremy Lin's votes were five times that of Curry! Curry's All-Star votes were not even as good as Parker's, but he had 20,000 more votes than Rubio.
In terms of popularity in the NBA, Curry is now on the same level as Lu. Coupled with the rise of the Lakers this season, the Warriors' national live broadcasts are often ignored.
This has made the Warriors' already low level of attention even worse.
"Thank you for paying attention to this great game, thank you Coach D, thank you to the four top guards, and thank you to the Los Angeles Lakers for making our star known to the United States!" What Warriors DJ said now made Mark Jackson even more unhappy.
The head coach of the Warriors no longer stayed with Du Kang and the others, and rushed directly to the court to catch Curry and Clay.
The face of the Predator I created will be completely disgraced by you two bastards!
"Jerry, it seems that Coach Jackson has a very special relationship with them."
"Did Coach D also find out? The styles of Mark, Curry, and Thompson don't match, right? One is a rigid defensive coach, and the other is a smart offensive player." Du Kang nodded.
It's really incongruous. Dukan studied this season's Warriors with Clifford before this game.
The Warriors are one of the teams with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the NBA. The entire team's three-point shooting percentage exceeds 40%, which is incredible.
However, the Warriors' average number of three-pointers per game is actually 4 fewer than their opponents!
Yes, the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage is 6 percentage points higher than their opponents per game, but they take 4 fewer shots per game than their opponents.
This shows that someone on the Warriors doesn't want the Warriors to shoot three-pointers. Who is this guy? It's certainly not that Curry and Klay are unwilling to vote.
This person is naturally Mark Jackson, who is suppressing the offense of Curry and Klay Thompson. At the same time, his defensive strategy for the Warriors is to shrink the defense, so it will give the opponent many three-point shooting opportunities.
Why shrink the defense? Of course, they don’t believe in the defensive abilities of Warriors perimeter players such as Curry and Klay Thompson.
They don't believe in Curry's defense, and they are unwilling to give Curry and the others enough offensive privileges. This shows that the coach does not believe in his players.
This shows that the players Mark Jackson wants are not Curry and the others, and the head coach suitable for Curry is not Mark Jackson.
Now that you know this Mr. Jerry West, why don't you do anything about it? Is it really okay to waste a player's career like this?
"Coach D, do you think I'm wasting Curry's and their careers?"
"..." Damn it, Mr. Jerry West, are you really cheating?
"Mark is not the most suitable head coach for them, but he is the head coach they need most at the moment."
"..." Du Kang felt that he seemed to understand something. Oh my God, Mr. Jerry West, it turns out that you are letting Mark Jackson, the defensive coach, strengthen Klay Thompson and Curry's attitude towards defense and their requirements for discipline!
Simply put, Mark Jackson is the most suitable head coach to lay the defensive foundation for Curry and Thompson!
Therefore, even if he knew that Mark Jackson was not suitable for them, Jerry West was waiting patiently.
Waiting for Mark Jackson to build Curry's defense and discipline, so that with a new head coach who suits the style, the Warriors can take off immediately.
Farke!
"Is this the greatest manager in NBA history? I really envy the Warriors' next head coach." Du Kang's words confused the magician next to him.
Coach D, why did you suddenly say this? Then……
"Coach D, you are better than me." Jerry West said with a smile. He actually didn't say much, but Coach D understood his intention instantly.
He was relieved that the Lakers had such a future godfather. His temperament, coaching, personality, and structure are all perfect.
Watching Du Kang and Jerry West suddenly look at each other and smile. The magician next to him felt like he was being suppressed by his IQ.
"I am called the smartest black player by the media!" Curry, Klay, Harrison Barnes, Dream Green and other young Warriors players on the sidelines were caught and trained by Mark Jackson. In an instant, they Just be honest.
However, after Curry finished training with Mark Jackson, he still ran to Carter with a smile.
"Carter, you have to be careful in this game. Mark said, in this game, we are going to focus on you. You haven't played in half a month. Is there something wrong with your knee?" Carter smiled. No words were spoken.
He patted Curry on the shoulder and told him to go back quickly, otherwise he would be punished again. The pre-game dunk practice for both teams ended and the game officially began.
The Warriors are playing at home in this game, and the starting players are Bogut, David Lee, Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.
The starting lineup for the Lakers in this game is center Howard, power forward Yi Jianlian, small forward Carter, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Nash.
The entire Lakers team was present in this game. Although Iverson and Maizi are wearing suits and ties next to Du Kang, they can take off their suits and play at any time.
Now the situation where Iverson and Maizi take off their suits and play has become one of the most beautiful sights for the Lakers.
At the beginning of the game, Howard of the Los Angeles Lakers won the jump ball for the Lakers. The Lakers attack, and Du Kang observes the Warriors' defensive formation from the sidelines.
The Warriors' defensive formation is to shrink the defense and give the Lakers a chance to fire from the outside. In the Lakers' first attack, Nash faced Curry's harassment and hit the ball to Kobe. Kobe faced Klay Thompson who was half-stepping to defend and fired directly from beyond the three-point line.
There is a clang of iron! The basketball fell to Yi Jianlian 7 feet away. Facing David Lee's defense, Yi Jianlian succeeded in a short jumper.
"Du, Bogut and David Lee of the Warriors are very good at rebounding. The assist flow in this game is difficult." Kobe's three-pointer just now was definitely not an assist, it was simply a shot when there was space. Definitely not a coward.
The rebound was also lucky to fall into the hands of the Arab League, rather than the successful rush by the Arab League. After all, Mark Jackson plays a shrinking defense. If he cannot protect the backcourt rebounds, he will definitely be beaten.
This season, the Warriors average 3 more rebounds per game than their opponents, and their rebound protection is very good.
Looking back, it was the Warriors' turn to attack. The Lakers' current defense is actually shrinking. Now that the overall three-point shooting ability is not very strong, shrinking defense is actually the choice of most teams with big centers. It saves energy and has good results.
It would be even better if your players have high tactical literacy and can play a zone defense. Of course, shrinking or shrinking, Curry and Clay will definitely chase them.
Nash defended Curry, Kobe chased Klay. Facing Nash's defense, Curry didn't even call for a screen. He made a fancy behind-the-back dribble and then accelerated, breaking through Nash.
Finally, with Nash's pursuit, a 19-foot emergency stop shot ended the attack. Curry's attack made Mark Jackson next to him feel like he had a brain hemorrhage.
Farke! One more sudden step, or if the ball falls to the basket, he will die! Bang! David Lee knocked out the offensive rebound, and Klay Thompson caught the ball outside the three-point line. He didn't care about Kobe who was catching up, and just threw it.
Mark Jackson, who just suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, almost fainted from anger this time. Farke! Please, please accept your crazy offensive style that tests the head coach's heart!
Looking at Mark Jackson who was dancing with joy just after the game started. Du Kang was delighted. This is the truest manifestation of the opposite between the head coach's style and the player's style.
In today's NBA, with Curry and Klay Thompson's style of play, if there is no protection from Jerry West, it is estimated that... not many head coaches can tolerate them.
"Darwin, do you think that these two Warriors guards have the heart of a Black Mamba?" Ham nodded.
That’s really it! It’s just that these two are the long-range offensive version of Kobe! However, like Kobe, the offensive threat visible to the naked eye is extremely high!
"This is why Jerry West is willing to protect them and has so much expectations for them." Gee, two Kobe-type players with a stable 40% three-point shooting rate!
If this warrior really grows up as Jerry West expects, this warrior may not be invincible.
Klay just hit Kobe's three-point shot and it didn't work. Howard protected the backboard, and Nash turned around and responded with a ball in front of Curry in the same way Curry just did.
Nash made a 16-foot mid-range pull-up jumper, hit! 4 to 0! With Kobe Bryant chasing him, Klay Thompson jumped up and passed the ball to find David Lee at the basket. Facing the United Arab Emirates' defense, David Lee's 3-foot hook was directly blocked by the United Arab Emirates.
"Huh?" Popovich, who was watching the game in front of the TV, was stunned when he saw the ball.
"Yi's defense...he didn't let it go?" Popovich was surprised. He has studied each of these important players of the Lakers.
Yi Jianlian is extremely talented, and his offensive talent is particularly powerful. However, because he has played too few NBA games, many of his game habits are not good.
Let's put it this way, players who have never played in the playoffs will not be trusted no matter how outstanding they are in the regular season.
Just because some things need to be experienced. As for Yi Jianlian, he never played a full regular season in his previous career, let alone the playoffs.
It is very normal for such a player to have his feet wander easily on the court and lack confidence and composure in the game.
But what happened to that offensive rebound and that block just now?
"How did Coach D do it?" McGrady suddenly learned Duncan's way of playing. Yi Jianlian suddenly became calm and calm.
Coach D, how did you do it? On TV, the Lakers were attacking, Nash and Yi Jianlian were in a pick-and-roll. Yi Jianlian, who was originally about to break out, suddenly accelerated, got rid of David Lee, and went straight to the basket. Nash got the ball, Yi Jianlian arrived, and Yi Jianlian received something from 7 feet away. Passed the ball and succeeded in a short jump shot.
6 to 0!
"..." Seeing the cooperation between Nash and Yi Jianlian, Popovich was dumbfounded.
"Is this definitely Yi, not Amal?" Looking at Yi Jianlian, Popovich suddenly remembered the Stoudemire who beat Duncan and the Spurs.
He was 100% sure. The tacit understanding between Yi and Nash is definitely not that good! And he also watched the previous few Lakers games, and Yi and Nash didn't cooperate very often.
So, how did the two develop such a tacit understanding? On the court, it was once again the Warriors' turn to attack.
Eight seconds after Yi Jianlian scored, Curry once again made a simple breakthrough and made an emergency jumper from 19 feet away.
Bang! Curry once again hit a two-pointer from a distance.
"Du, I feel like Curry wanted to shoot a three-pointer on this shot, but why did he change his shooting rhythm and deliberately shoot a two-pointer?" Du Kang glanced at Hamm in surprise.
Okay, I can actually see this.
"That's because Mark Jackson definitely doesn't want him to shoot too many three-pointers, but he is not used to shooting mid-range shots. In the end, just like Iverson, he chose to guess one step from the three-point line." After Clifford explained, Du Kang He smiled and nodded.
Curry's long-distance two-point shots account for as high as 30%. This is a compromise. Mark Jackson doesn't allow him to shoot too many three-pointers.
Curry himself doesn't like shooting mid-range shots very much. Then take action from a distance. This compromising way of shooting is actually like completing a task. I completed several mid-range two-point shots required by Mark Jackson in this game. For the rest, Mark Jackson ignored my three-pointers.
Therefore, Curry will appear very anxious. And it’s not just Curry who is being pressured to hit mid-range shots. The same goes for other Warriors players.
4 minutes after the start of the game. Curry is shooting two-pointers from a long distance, and Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes are all shooting two-pointers from a distance.
Then with the assistance of Howard and Yi Jianlian of the Lakers, coupled with the contraction of Kobe, Carter, Nash and others.
The Warriors didn't score a point. There are 8 minutes and 30 seconds left in the first quarter. The score on the court was 10-0.
The Warriors were beaten 10-0 in the opening game. The Warriors fans at the scene were all confused. Although I know there is a gap between my team and the Lakers.
But it shouldn’t be like this. Not to mention that the popularity of Warriors players is currently sluggish, Curry, the Warriors boss, is actually one-third as popular as Harden.
The main thing is that now Warriors fans don't recognize Curry as the team leader, so they won't canvass votes for him during All-Star voting, and they usually don't brag for Curry, Clay and other Warriors fans online to increase their popularity.
Although the current Warriors are recognized by Jerry West, they have not yet been recognized by Warriors fans.
This Warriors team needs an exciting achievement to change fans' impression of them.
Obviously, the chaotic play in the first few minutes of this game is definitely not enough. The compromise between player and coaching styles really leaves fans at a loss.
"Du, if the Warriors were only this strong, how could they be ranked seventh in the Western Conference?" The Western Conference is now a fierce battle zone.
Ham finished speaking blankly and looked at Du Kang. Du Kang didn't speak, just smiled. Ham looked at Clifford next to him again.
Clifford frowned.
"Darwin, do you know what it means to get rid of all the bad news?"
"..." Darwin Hamm was once again dumbfounded. What does this have to do with stock trading?
"Have you finally completed your head coaching duties for tonight's game? Is the real game finally about to begin?" In front of the TV, Popovich had a smile on his face.
The Warriors, who even he looked at with suspicion, were about to appear! With 8 minutes and 14 seconds left in the first quarter, Klay Thompson received a pass from Curry and made an 18-foot jumper, scoring the Warriors' first point of the game.
2 to 10! With 7 minutes and 47 seconds left in the first quarter, Klay Thompson received the ball from David Lee under the basket, came out, faced Kobe's defense, and hit a three-pointer.
5 to 10! With 7 minutes and 17 seconds left in the first quarter, Curry received an assist from Klay Thompson, stepped out of the three-point line, faced Nash's defense, and hit a three-pointer from 23 feet away.
8 to 12! In less than 1 minute, the Warriors relied on the shooting of Curry and Klay Thompson to directly score 8 points!
This terrifying scoring explosion. Hamm, who was still questioning the Warriors' seventh place in the Western Conference just now, was stunned.
"I'm afraid Coach D is scared out of his wits now, right?" Popovich looked at the TV curiously, and the live broadcast of the TV also focused on Du Kang very interestingly.
Then, Popovich and the audience in front of the TV who were curious about Du Kang's expression at this time were dumbfounded.
"Coach D was smiling and applauding the Lakers players. They had no problem defending, it's just that Curry and Klay Thompson made hits."
"This kind of flow is very easy to break the opponent's rhythm. The Warriors' style of play is not common in the current NBA. Generally, experienced head coaches and players may not be able to handle it, but Coach D's choice is very correct. "In fact, the game against the Warriors was the first time Du Kang simulated it.
In the first quarter, the Lakers' offense was led by the Warriors, and they were blinded throughout the first half. Lost by 18 points 45 to 63 at halftime.
The Lakers have indeed never seen Curry and Klay Thompson play like this. No matter who your defender is outside the three-point line, the waves will come up in waves, and everyone will be blinded.
Then, after figuring out the Warriors' style of play, Du Kang did not simulate the second time. He said, simulate it once per game!
Not the desired result, neither saved nor simulated. You must unlock at least one seal for Maizi before facing the Spurs in the playoffs!
In order to save mp, Du Kang really worked hard. Can the Lakers withstand the three blows of Klay and Curry from the Warriors in this game?
Du Kang was also curious. Because the styles of players and coaches do not match, Curry and Thompson's three-point ax is not systematic and is just a flash of inspiration, so it is a three-point ax, which is very powerful but not lasting.
After Du Kang stood up and applauded, Kobe, who was originally facing the provocation of the two juniors Curry and Clay on the court and preparing to throw them at them, quickly calmed down.
Klay's shots really don't look at the defender, they just throw them, and they really stimulate the defensive players when they are thrown.
It would be a tragedy if Kobe was really stimulated and shot with Klebby. If the Warriors have good rebounding and positioning, but if they can't make a shot, they're really gone.
Then Klay and Curry made layups with their hands, and they hit the ball. But there you are, the iron on your head is clanging.
Isn't that just a wave? It can only be said that the Kobe who has followed Du Kang again on the railway is indeed different from the Kobe before.
Kobe didn't simply throw it at Klay. After passing the ball to Yi Jianlian under the basket, Kobe ran to the basket, and then came out like Klay just now. After Howard helped hang Klay up, he received a pass from Yi Jianlian 17 feet away and made a mid-range shot. Hit the target.
14 to 8, Kobe's two points helped the Lakers stabilize the rhythm. After hitting two points, Kobe and Yi Jianlian high-fived.
Then he looked at the young man Klay Thompson. sharp! It actually gave him the illusion that he was in love with Hamilton back then.
I haven’t played a game like this for a long time! On the court, the Lakers players seemed to get to know these young Warriors players all over again.
On the sidelines, Du Kang looked at Mark Jackson, who was squatting there in despair, and suddenly felt a little bit of bad taste.
Seeing the smile on Du Kang's face, Hamm and Clifford next to him were so frightened that they quickly stepped back. On the court, Klay Thompson received an assist from Curry and once again hit a 3-pointer from 26 feet away. .
14 to 11! The Warriors are still continuing their explosive output in a short period of time. For two inside teams like the Lakers, it is impossible for the outside defense to flank Curry and Klay Thompson. If you defend them alone, it is naturally impossible to prevent them from throwing the ball.
The young Kobe may still be able to catch Klay, but now Kobe is actually very good at catching Klay.
And all of Kobe's balls are in place. Klay Thompson can make the shot, not because Kobe can't defend, but because Klay Thompson is great.
"He is not an ordinary shooter!" An ordinary shooter, no matter how accurate he is at ordinary times, will be tough on defense.
Novak is like that. But Klay Thompson...Dukan felt it.
"The more excited he is, the more accurate he is!" Du Kang on the sidelines waved Carter and Kobe Nash over.
"Vince, in this game you play against Klay Thompson, Bryant, in this game you play against Curry, crazily name Curry, Steve, you are the shooter next to you." Du Kang said in the ears of the three of them again After whispering a few words, Bian patted the three of them on the back and asked them to continue playing.
"What is Coach D telling Kobe and the others?" TNT's three commentators were confused. Soon, their doubts were cleared.
Lakers offense. Kobe holds the ball and picks and rolls with Nash, switching Curry in front of him. Kobe sat with Curry pushing in from the three-point line.
Seeing this scene, the Warriors fans at the scene couldn't help it.
"Damn it, this style of play is too brutal!" All the Warriors fans in the audience exclaimed. After Kobe flew Curry, turned around, leaned back, and hit the mid-range shot!
You two little guys are messing with our mentality with three points. Is there no problem with us using the old guy’s stuff to mess with your mentality?
Seeing their boss being bullied by Kobe like this, the Warriors fans at the scene were really silent.
Originally, most Warriors fans did not recognize that this Warriors team could lead the team to revival in the future.
Now that I see this scene, I am even more speechless. Next, there is something that makes Warriors fans even more speechless.
After Kobe finished sitting with Curry. The Lakers attacked in the next round. After Curry's Carter picked up Nash, he named Curry again.
Almost the same recipe. The difference is. After Carter sat down Curry, he did not turn around and lean back, but accelerated a breakthrough and went straight to the basket!
Seeing this scene, Curry and Thompson were so excited that they jumped up. Especially Curry, he didn't feel like he had just been ravaged.
"Carter is going to dunk!" Facing Carter, who was charging straight at him, Bogut was disdainful. Do you think you are still UFO?
Bogut stepped forward and opened his hands. He felt that this was enough. but!
"UFO is taking off!" Seeing Carter flying, the Warriors fans at the scene almost gasped.
The three commentators from tnt stood up immediately. Facing a big center, he took off directly!
Even in the NBA, such a dunk is rare, and such a fierce dunk is also rare!
In fact, not only in the NBA, but also in the entire basketball world, there are not many dunk methods like this.
And there is no doubt that the most famous player for this kind of dunk is Carter! The king dunker who combines beauty, strength and explosiveness!
"Carter will teach you what a real dunk is!" Looking at Carter flying higher and higher in front of him, Bogut, who had been disdainful just now, was dumbfounded.
I'm going to be fucked hard! this is!
"Death Knuckle!"
"This is UFO's death button!" Thirteen years ago, the 23-year-old Carter, the death button on a rider, will be reproduced by the 36-year-old Carter in the NBA?
! Watching this scene, Durant in front of the TV was so excited that he almost cried! In the 2011 Mavericks playoffs, dunking on Haywood was the death dunk in tribute to his idol Carter.
However, he did not dare to ride hard, but relied on his long arms to avoid riding. And Carter this!
"This is the real button of death!" There was a clang! Carter, who was riding on Bogut, pursed his lips and slammed the basketball in his hand into the basket!
silence! Boom! The entire Oracle Arena seemed to explode! All the cameras and cameras on the scene were all clicking.
Listen to the sound of these cameras and cameras. Bogut felt like his head was exploding. After a while.
On the court and on the sidelines, all the Lakers players rushed towards Carter, who was hanging on the basket with one hand and riding Bogut.
Among the people rushing towards Carter, there were actually two Warriors players, Curry and Klay Thompson.
The expressions on the two people's faces were as excited as the Lakers players. We are here to protect Bogut! We are definitely not here to touch Carter's thigh!
"ufo! ufo! The god of death comes to NBA!"
"Is this 36-year-old Carter?"
"No, this is the 36-year-old Carter under Coach D!"
"Coach D resurrected UFO and recreated the death slam!" In front of the TV, listening to the crazy shouts of the TNT trio.
The audience in front of the TV felt like they were crazy. In fact, at this moment, spectators watching this game from all over the world are bursting into incredible cheers and shouts.
On the field. Mark Jackson on the sidelines looked at Curry and Klay Thompson who were surrounding Carter with the Lakers players on the court. At this time, Mark Jackson's head was covered.
The assistant coach Karl Malone next to him was even more confused.
"Mark, this is the Carter you arranged before the game to focus on? Is this the Carter you said, whose knee is no longer good?" At this time, the North Carolina Flying Eagle Harrisba, who will perform the task of abusing Carter in this game, Enns was already trembling.
"As long as he can fly, there will be no flying eagles in the North Carolina sky, only UFOs!"
"Du, are you unhappy?"
"..." Happy is happy. But... Du Kang looked at Curry and Klay Thompson who joined the Lakers' celebration team at this time... Didn't I want to mess with their mentality?
what is this?
