Chapter 152
The intersession break is over.
The second quarter begins.
The Warriors put on a four-course-one-soup combination, with Klay leading the four substitutes, while the Lakers put on Lou Williams and Nick Young.
"As for the bench matchup... I have something to say."
O'Neal took the lead in picking up the microphone and said:"First of all, I know the Warriors and Lakers quite well. The starting lineup has become much stronger with Su Hao, and can barely compete with Splash Green.
But when it comes to the substitutes... it can be seen that it is difficult to describe.
The combination of Xuan Ming and two veterans, coupled with the top 3D Clay, must be quite explosive on the defensive end.
The Lakers' Luvenik Young can be considered a very capable combination. Unless they feel good, the Warriors' substitutes may be able to increase the points difference."
After listening to O'Neal's words, Barkley nodded in agreement.
"That's true..."
At the beginning of the game, Livingston in the right low post began to back-up Nick Young.
After a series of back-ups, he quickly turned around and made a pull-up jump shot. It was a rare straight-arm shot in the league, and Nick Young had no way to block it.
"Swish……" hollow hit
"Sean's mid-range shots and various jump shots... I rarely see him pass through empty shots, he is quite steady, which scares me.
Including the understanding of the team's system and tactics, this is one of the foundations for them to defend the championship."
Kobe analyzed seriously with Scott.
Then I saw Klay cut and layup easily.
It was not until 4 minutes and 17 seconds after the rotation that the Warriors opened the gap to 4 points.
The Lakers called a timeout and prepared to change the lineup
"You see, the Warriors' substitutes seem to be attacking much more smoothly, while the Lakers are like a chaotic battle, without much discipline."
"In this case, if the Lakers starters Su Hao and others failed to last 48 minutes, which is the entire game, would it be difficult for them to have a chance to overtake?"
"For now...that might be it."
O'Neal had already vaguely felt a hint of crisis, but it was not until Su Hao came on the court that it eased a lot.
The cheers of the Lakers home fans gradually became smaller, but the Warriors fans began to become restless.
"Do you know why I am so optimistic about the Warriors creating a dynasty?"
Garnett said to Iverson
"The Warriors are currently the leaders of this era. They have even created a new style of play, no longer the traditional combination of shooting guard and center.
Putting aside Splash's personal ability, they are very strong with and without the ball, and everyone regards them as the core.
But the most important thing that really makes this system work is Green.
The five-small lineup has a lot of flexibility, causing some traditional teams to directly lose the important role of the inside.
Presenting a suppressed state, including a fast pace."
Iverson listened meaningfully and lamented the changes of the times, but then smiled and said:"But......The existence of Su Hao, this rookie, makes people think about it again!"
As he was talking, Su Hao continued to score as soon as he came on the court.
Even the two Xuanming Elders could hardly stop Su Hao's attack.
Su Hao accelerated and broke through directly to get rid of Livingston, came to the penalty area to confront Iguodala, and made a tough layup.
It was unstoppable.
Then he blocked Thompson's layup on the defensive end and quickly counterattacked.
He rushed into the front court and faced Thompson's chase block and dunked the ball directly, causing a foul.
He made another free throw, and the score difference was narrowed again.
The Warriors called a timeout and continued to change the lineup, with Curry, Green and Bogut on top.
Curry once again used Su Hao's most annoying pick-and-roll to find an opportunity for himself on the three-point line.
He quickly shot an open three-pointer, an extremely fast and agile shooting posture.
"Swish……"
Water splashed again.
Su Hao used Jokic's pass from the backcourt to advance into the frontcourt.
Waiting for his teammates to get into position, Curry still had the determination to resist Su Hao despite his average physical fitness.
Curry was also ready, but was broken by Jokic's screen pick-and-roll.
Bogut quickly changed defense just behind Jokic.
Upon seeing this, Su Hao immediately pulled back to the three-point line, and Jokic took Curry to the other side to open up space for Su Hao to play in singles.
Jokic can take advantage of the mismatch to single out Curry, but he completely understands Su Hao's thoughts, and he even has a better chance against Bogut.
"The dog is right in front of me, how can I not hit it? It was a godsend."
Su Hao thought to himself that Bogut, a dirty player, had a lot of tricks and even defeated many people.
The most important thing was that Bogut had an extremely bad attitude towards China and said things that he shouldn't have said just like Morey.
This left a seed in Su Hao's heart
""Keep your steps steady and don't move your center of gravity!"
Su Hao said to Bogut with a slight smile on his face, and then pretended to take a step to the right, and Bogut took a step back in shock.
"What about when my defense is air?"
"Yes, I will treat your defense as air."
Su Hao finished speaking, and started with a three-threat move, with continuous shaking that made Bogut unpredictable.
In an instant, Su Hao quickly pushed off the ground on the right wing and sprinted in. His lightning speed made slow-footed inside players like Bogut very uncomfortable.
Bogut quickly turned half his body to catch up with Su Hao, and his center of gravity went down.
Su Hao quickly stopped and pulled back at his hips, catching Bogut off guard.
The sudden stop made Bogut, whose center of gravity was already unstable, trip over his right foot with his left foot, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Su Hao passed the ball, but did not rush to shoot. He looked at the fallen Bogut in humiliation for a few seconds.
He took a long two-point shot from the high right position.
Hit.
The fans in the stadium cheered and screamed, and the Staples Center was clear after the rain.
"Handsome, so handsome!"
O'Neal shouted loudly.
However, in the next round, Su Hao counterattacked with the ball and came to the frontcourt again.
Su Hao faced Curry again at the top of the arc. This time it was almost the same as the last offense, with just a few changes.
Su Hao right He hit Curry from the side and pushed past Curry with one step from the three-point line, and then accelerated the breakthrough twice without stopping because Jokic at the free throw line had already waited for Curry to come through the screen. In front of him, Bogut was already waiting for Su Hao.
Su Hao stepped on it and jumped up as if there were springs under his feet. Bogut couldn't reach this height.
Even so, Bogut still jumped up to resist Su Hao's impact.
He saw Su Hao"flying into the air", as if he was riding on Bogut, raising one arm and aiming at the basket. , while directly ignoring Bogut in front of him.
"boom……"
Time seemed to stand still. Curry looked up at Su Hao hanging on the basket from the free throw line, full of shock.
Bogut covered his head with his hands when he landed, still in shock.
Su Hao hung on the basket with one hand, first confirmed whether his feet were safe, and then landed smoothly.
Half a second passed.
""Bang!"
The whole audience started to scream.
Su Hao dunked over Bogut, instantly lighting up the whole audience.
Even the referee bit his whistle while watching Su Hao celebrating with Kobe and others, and gradually put down the whistle.
