Chapter 353: Facing the Lakers

At the beginning of the new season, Warriors fans began to pay attention to the specific date of the match against one team, and this team is the Lakers (read the full text of Legend Detective).

Last season, the Warriors were not expected to rush into the playoffs and forced the Lakers to a 3:3 tie in the first round, but were unfortunately eliminated by the Lakers in the end. The Lakers made the final push all the way.

, directly aspired to the championship, but among all the opponents in the playoff season, the Warriors were the team that forced them the most embarrassingly.

Although the Rockets also played the seventh game with the Lakers, the Lakers easily won the seventh game, and the other opponents failed to force the Lakers into a tiebreaker. Only the Warriors still gave the Lakers a victory in the seventh game.

It caused huge trouble, and even Yang Shuai, who injured his wrist near the end of the game, hit a three-pointer to help the Warriors chase the score to just one point.

With their tough defense in the final period, the Lakers forced the Warriors to score no points, and ultimately won with a 5-point advantage.

Outside comments on the showdown between the Warriors and the Lakers all said that the Warriors did well enough. They all said that although the Warriors lost, it was an honor, but Warriors fans were not reconciled because Yang Shuai was injured at the last moment.

If the Warriors lost to the Lakers under normal circumstances, Warriors fans would accept it with all sincerity. However, such a defeat is full of regrets in their eyes, because they lost the last chance to fight, because Warriors fans started to lose their temper in the middle of last season.

I have realized that the Warriors without Yang Shuai and the Warriors with Yang Shuai are two completely different teams.

Although Yang Shuai was present at the last moment of that game, he was unable to exert his strongest fighting ability because of a disabled hand.

Warriors fans are dissatisfied. They believe that their team has the possibility of creating a miracle. Maybe this possibility is less than 50%, but it is possible after all. Therefore, in the new season, they are eager to compete with the Lakers, hoping to pass

This kind of game will retest the strength of the two teams.

The Lakers are indeed the championship, and the purple shirts were the strongest team in the NBA last season, but the Warriors are not afraid, because they are the team that forced the Lakers the most embarrassingly among all teams.

Warriors fans have this idea, and so do Warriors players. Maybe the new Warriors players don't feel it, but the veteran players who were with the Warriors last season must have it, and they feel it more deeply than Warriors fans.

The team's coaching staff also feels this way, because as long as the Warriors defeat the Lakers last season, they can create another black eight miracle, plus the one in 2006, they can forever be recorded in the history of the NBA

Because of this, the team's coach hopes that the Warriors will be in the best shape to face the Lakers. They need to eliminate the Warriors' hidden dangers, including the slump in the third quarter.

Nelson and his coaching staff watched the tapes of all the Warriors games this season, and they wanted to find the fundamental reason why the Warriors' third quarter was not as good as the other three quarters.

But looking at it this way, they didn't find much of a reason, because judging from the video, there were no big problems with the status of each player or the team's rotation, but what was strange was that the Warriors players were

The shooting percentage and number of shots in this quarter are lower than the average of the other three quarters.

After repeated comparisons, the Warriors' coaching staff finally discovered something was wrong. The fault came from two people, Yang Shuai and Chandler.

There is not much problem with Yang Shuai's scoring in this quarter, but in this quarter, Yang Shuai's ability to create opportunities for his teammates is lower than in the other three quarters. In this quarter, Yang Shuai makes fewer breakthroughs and more shots. Because

The shooting percentage will not be too low, and Yang Shuai's scoring will not have much impact, but because there are few breakthroughs, his lethality to the opponent's defense is much less.

In addition to Yang Shuai, another reason is Chandler. This season, Chandler completely recovered from his body in the summer. His performance swept away the sluggish performance of last season, averaging 9.4 rebounds per game, including 3.4 offensive rebounds.

Distributed in each quarter, Chandler's offensive rebounds per game in each quarter were 1.0, 1.0, 0.5, and 0.9 respectively. The offensive rebounds in the third quarter were lower than those in the other four quarters. The decrease in offensive rebounds meant that the second

Reduced offensive opportunities.

For these two reasons, coupled with the impact of the halftime break on the player's shooting feel, the Warriors' scoring efficiency in the third quarter was worse than in the other three quarters.

After finding the reason, the next thing became easier. Old Nelson told the whole team the results of their comparison. The first people who need to make changes are Yang Shuai and Chandler. In this quarter, they must play more efficiently.

Aggression. Secondly, other Warriors players should also take more shots closer to the basket in this quarter to reduce the impact of the decline in touch during the halftime break (Holy Grail txt download).

After returning to Oakland from Santonio, in addition to looking for problems that have arisen since the start of the Warriors, the Warriors also need to prepare for the game against the Lakers with peace of mind, and prepare from all aspects.

Nelson was repeatedly debating what kind of rotation adjustments could bring out the Warriors' greatest combat effectiveness, while Mike Malone was carefully arranging tactics to defend the Lakers.

The Cavaliers have been preparing for the Finals in recent years, and the Lakers have naturally been listed as a key target. When he was in the Cavaliers, Mike Malone studied the Lakers' offense in detail, and the preparations at this time seem more clued up.

In preparation for the game against the Lakers, Yang Shuai and Jackson were more serious than any previous game. Their emotions also infected other Warriors players. For a while, even the Warriors' training games felt like they were filled with smoke.

On the morning of the game against the Lakers, Yang Shuai came to the Oracle Arena early to practice. He had a good sleep at home at noon. When he stepped into the Oracle Arena again, Yang Shuai felt that his mental state had reached its best.

, but this was not enough. He had to ensure that his competitive condition was also at its best. He warmed up forty minutes earlier than usual.

Jackson is getting older and older. It has been a long time since he took the time to carefully watch the videos of opposing players like he does these days. In the past two days, Jackson has spent time watching videos of Kobe's games this season, because today everyone

Part of the time, he will be the first choice to defend Kobe.

Hinrich's goal today is very clear. He has been shooting three-pointers since the warm-up. People who are doing the same thing as him include Belinelli and Anthony Morrow, although they understand

There may not be a chance to play tonight.

Turiaf has been practicing hard on free throws in the past two days. He is a player from the Lakers and has more experience than others.

These players who have been with the Warriors last year are all preparing for this game, and the new players are no exception. Whether it is Wallace, Chandler, Evans, or Collison, they are all working hard to win.

Doing warm-up training, they hope to bring more help to the team (Bliss Basketball Storm).

After the warm-up, all the players returned to the locker room. Yang Shuai silently took out a clean jersey and put it on, then leaned on the chair and looked at his teammates from time to time until Old Nelson stood in the middle of the locker room. He understood that the distance

Time is running out for the game to start.

"Lakers! Our opponent tonight is the Lakers! Does anyone not know what this opponent means?" Old Nelson glanced at all the Warriors players, but no one answered because everyone knew it.

"Last season, we were eighth in the Western Conference. No one thought we had the strength to challenge the Lakers. However, Lakers fans were still on tenterhooks until the last quarter of Game 7. In the new season, everyone thinks the Lakers will continue to dominate.

Western Conference, but in the past twenty days, who ranked first in the Western Conference?

It’s our warriors!

We didn’t create miracles last season, we will create them this season! 11 wins and 3 losses, this is our record, 12 wins and 3 losses, this is the Lakers’ record, kill them, and prove to those guys with facts, we can surpass the Lakers

team!"

"Kill them!"

After yelling, Yang Shuai raised his hands high, his eyes flashed and shouted: "Last season, those guys eliminated us. We have been improving every day since then. Now, these guys are shocked.

It’s time! Victory, this game, we only need one result, victory!”

"victory!"

While the Warriors players were cheering in the locker room, outside the locker room, all the Warriors fans who came to watch the game had arrived at the arena, and the entire Oracle Arena was in a commotion.

"The team will definitely defeat the Lakers tonight. It's time to avenge the revenge of last season's playoffs."

"Starting from this season, the strongest team in California is no longer the Lakers, but the Warriors!"

"Yang is the strongest player in the league, Kobe? No way (the latest chapter of My Police Beauty Lover)!"

In every corner of the arena, Warriors fans were shouting words of encouragement. At this moment, the lights of the arena suddenly dimmed, and there was a moment of silence, followed by an even louder noise.

"Warriors! Warriors!" The uniform voices of the fans rang in the arena. All fans knew that the Warriors players were about to appear.

"Bah, bang, bang!" As the Warriors players ran out of the tunnel one after another, the applause became louder and louder until Yang Shuai appeared.

"Yang! Yang! Yang!" The cheers of Warriors fans reached their peak at this moment. Everyone stood up and shouted Yang Shuai's name. He is the hero of this arena, and he is also the most anticipated by the Warriors tonight.

players.

"Roar!" The iconic fist-pumping roar made the scene boil again. Amidst the eardrum-shaking shouts, Yang Shuai's eyes fell on the other side of the court, where stood the head of the Lakers, Kobe -

Bryant.

When Yang Shuai looked at Kobe, Kobe's eyes also swept over this side. Yang Shuai's rise this season made him need to look at him with an equal eye, because he understood that Yang Shuai had become his opponent, and he was very

The main opponent.

"Coax!" Warriors fans became restless because the starting players of both sides had already stepped onto the court and the game was about to begin.

"Kobe!" "Yang!" They hugged each other gently in the center circle. Yang Shuai and Kobe called each other's names, and each could see the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Yang Shuai turned around and walked away, taking a deep breath. The game was finally about to begin. In the new season, James had already mastered it. Now, he finally met Kobe. This game did not have a record that needed to be broken like the game against the Cavaliers.

, but the significance to myself and the team is no less than that game.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded.

"Warriors! Warriors! Warriors!" The cheers at Oracle Arena reached its peak in an instant, and the game that Warriors fans had been waiting for began.
