This scene also really impressed all the fans watching this game. Before the game, everyone thought it would be an offensive feast, even a three-point feast.
In the five games before this game, the Warriors averaged 115.4 points per game, while the Lakers on the other side were even more exaggerated, averaging 122.6 points per game in five games, the highest in the league.
The Lakers and Warriors are the two teams with the strongest offensive power in the league, but it just so happened that such a team known for its offense started a crazy blacksmithing mode after the game started.
Crazy strike does not mean that no points were scored. In the first three minutes, the two sides only scored 4 points in total. Yi Jianlian and Li Hao on the Lakers' side completed an alley-oop for two points, and Durant on the Warriors' side completed an alley-oop. Remember the stick shot.
At 8 minutes and 11 seconds, Curry finally scored. And this time Curry not only scored, but also caused a foul by Li Hao. He added a free throw and scored three points at 2+1.
But in the next round, Li Hao returned the favor and used Thompson's best scoring method. What is Thompson best at?
Of course it's a dunk~~Bah~~~ It's a three-pointer.
Li Hao made his first three-pointer of the game against Tomps, making 1 of 3 three-pointers.
Then Thompson wanted to retaliate, but unfortunately, Thompson didn't feel good today, and his shot missed due to Wade's interference.
Then there were several waves of strikes, and then each scored a goal. The entire first quarter was almost like this pattern, and the first quarter of this game also created the lowest score in the first quarter of the season for both teams.
The Warriors only scored 15 points at the end of the first quarter. Curry scored the Warriors' team-high 7 points, but these 7 points were all made inside the three-point line, and he was 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line.
The Splash Brothers did not hesitate to give up too much. They made 0 of 2 shots from beyond the three-point line and only scored 2 points inside the three-point line. Durant was slightly better than Thompson and scored 1 more point.
The three core players combined to score 12 of the team's 15 points. In addition to these three points, Yin Guodala, who came off the bench, scored three points with a three-pointer. This was also the Warriors' only three-pointer in the first quarter. .
For the Lakers, Li Hao also scored 7 points, but Li Hao scored 7 points with another three-pointer, making 1 of 3 shots. The remaining four points were scored by rushing to the basket.
In addition, unlike the Warriors who concentrated on three people, the Lakers can score more points. Wade also scored 3 points, Yi Jianlian scored 2 points, and Randall was the starter second only to Li Hao with 4 points. Ingram made 1 of 2 free throws and scored 1 point. The rest were scored by substitute players.
15:22.
The Lakers unexpectedly took a 7-point lead in the first quarter.
……………………………………………
"This is a basketball game. No one knows what will happen on the court?" No matter how much you brag before the game, it's so embarrassing now.
But everyone soon adjusted. As for the media, shame is nothing. Besides, if you can't praise the offense, you can praise the defense instead.
The game restarted quickly in the second quarter, and then it really felt like the media was bragging about it. Yes, the benches of both sides played the kind of offense that the media was bragging about.
Russell hit two consecutive three-pointers. Williams, Nance Jr., and Nick Young all scored. For the Warriors, Looney, Livingston, and Ying Guodala were able to score.
When the main players returned to the court, the score had reached 36:45.
Yes, the points scored by the substitutes in half a quarter have exceeded the points scored by the starters in the entire quarter.
"How should I put it? I think it doesn't matter if the main players of both sides don't have to play in this game." When you can't score, you have no face to give.
However, this did not stop the return of the main players. Halfway through the second quarter, the head coaches of both teams were replaced. The rivalry between Cole and Luke Walton, the master and apprentice, was also one of the highlights of this game.
When Durant returned to the court, he immediately used a stick single to help the Warriors narrow the score. However, the Lakers did not lose their lead. Wade rushed to the basket and leaned on the defender for a layup.
Curry then continued his poor state in the first quarter and missed another three-point shot. Like Curry, Thompson also continued his poor touch in the first quarter.
In contrast, the Lakers started to pick up. After Wade scored, Li Hao continued to expand the lead with a three-pointer for the Lakers. Then Randall scored two more points with a mid-range shot in front of Green.
The Lakers suddenly widened the point difference to 14 points. Seeing that the difference between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, Durant started the singles mode. In fact, the current Warriors are still in the running-in period. After all, such a core player as Durant joined the tactical changes, and the players Any change in play style requires corresponding changes.
Durant entered the stand-up singles mode and frequently used mid-range shots to score in front of Ingram. Ingram's template was Durant, and he was also named Little Durant when he entered the league.
I have to say that the title of scouts and media has not yet been handed over. In the previous few games, Ingram's most commonly used scoring method was mid-range shots.
The gap between Durant Jr. and the real Durant is still very obvious, but to be honest, Durant's condition was not very good in this game, otherwise he would only score three points in the first quarter.
It's just that Durant's hand picked up a little in the second quarter, which was better than Curry and Thompson. The Splash Brothers really became a splash in this game.
At the end of the first half, Curry made 0 of 6 three-pointers and did not score in double figures in the two quarters. Thompson followed closely and also made 0 of 6 three-pointers. He only scored a meager 4 points in the first half.
Thanks to Durant's recovery in the second quarter, he scored the Warriors' highest score in the first half, but only 11 points.
For the Lakers, Li Hao is still the most stable one. Although he only made two 3-pointers in the entire first half and 2 of 5 three-pointers, he still scored 14 points, which was better than Curry and Thompson. That adds up to more.
49:66.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers already led the Warriors by 17 points. If the Warriors' touch exploded, it would be a matter of minutes to catch up to 17 points. Unfortunately, the Warriors' touch in this game was so cold.
And this phenomenon did not get better in the second half. Curry and Thompson continued the cold feeling in the first half, but Durant gradually recovered, but Durant's recovery alone could not change the trend of the entire game.
What's more, the Lakers' bench felt so hot in this game. It was supposed to be Li Hao and Wade's drama against the splash star Durant, but it turned out to be the scoring show of the Lakers' bench.
The Lakers scored a total of 121 points in this game, more than half of which were scored by substitute players. 8 players on the team scored in double figures.
Li Hao reached over 20, making 8 of 18 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 21 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block.
For the Warriors, Durant scored a game-high 27 points. Curry and Thompson combined only had two more points than Li Hao, scoring 23 points together.
