In the last quarter, the Lakers launched a major counterattack, playing even tougher on offense and defense. However, the Warriors, who held a 12-point advantage, did not allow the Lakers to easily come back. Although the final point difference was narrowed to only 5 points, the Warriors still won.

28 of Yang Shuai's 42 points came in the second half, 13 points in the third quarter, and 15 of the team's 20 points in the fourth quarter.

The 2:1 lead undoubtedly makes Warriors fans excited. The next fourth game will continue to be played at the Warriors' home court. If the Warriors can win the final victory, they can rewrite the total score to 3:1.

The Lakers naturally knew how important the next game was. On the night after the third game, they held an internal meeting in the hotel where they were staying.

The Warriors also have great expectations for the next Game 4. If they can win it, they can hold the match point. The performance of the Lakers in the past three games has given the Warriors players full confidence. Although from the regular season perspective

The Lakers suppressed the Warriors, but the three games they faced in the playoffs were not too difficult for the Warriors. Even in the second game they lost, the Warriors still had hope of coming back and winning at the last moment.

This process undoubtedly made the Warriors players think that the Lakers are just like this. When the team is affected by such emotions, it is destined that the Warriors will not be too easy in Game 4.

After the start of Game 4, Warriors players quickly discovered that this team was different from before.

There is no doubt that the Lakers are very strong. Especially at the end of the regular season, they are the best performing team in the Western Conference. Although they encountered some problems entering the playoffs, once they adjust, the strength they show is still

League members and teams need to take it seriously.

In the previous three games, the Lakers did not show a good state. First of all, their inside line was not fully opened. The Lakers' inside line is their advantage when facing any team in the league. Bynum, Gasol

, Odom's combination allows them to maintain pressure on the opponent's inside every minute of the game. Of course, all this assumes that the three of them perform relatively normally.

However, judging from the first three games, the performance of these three people was not satisfactory. Although Gasol did a good job in supporting, he did not have many bright spots in his own offense. Most of the offense was in the middle.

Long range shots, attacks in the low post and around the basket are very rare.

Bynum's performance in these games has been particularly poor. His scores in the three games were 10 points, 6 points, and 6 points respectively. He was completely dominated by Chandler in the paint.

Odom is the most normal performer among the three. He just won the title of Sixth Man of the Year and indeed provided sufficient firepower for the Lakers on the bench. In the second game the Lakers won, he scored 18 points and 11 points.

He is the key figure with 2 rebounds.

However, the normal Odom alone is not enough to support the Lakers' inside offense, let alone rely on the inside to suppress the Warriors.

In addition to the lackluster performance of the inside players, another problem the Lakers have on the offensive end is that the ball transfer speed is too slow. For Phil Jackson's triangle offense, ball transfer is a very important part of the offense, but these three

The Lakers rely too much on individuals, especially Kobe's singles, in every game. This model is not a big problem for the Warriors, but if it is used for the Lakers, it will destroy their offensive system.

The slow movement of the ball also means that the Lakers have fewer opportunities to get open shots, and their shooting percentage will naturally be significantly affected.

The Lakers' inability to attack means they will be under greater pressure on the defensive end. What the Warriors are best at is counterattack. Chandler and Yang Shuai ensure the team's backcourt rebounds. Whenever the Lakers' offense fails,

The warriors will launch a counterattack as soon as possible.

Even if the Lakers' defense is not slow, they cannot form a defensive formation as if they were in a positional battle. Facing high-impact players like Yang Shuai and Evans, once the Warriors counterattack, the Lakers' defense will easily become chaotic.

Without a good position, coupled with the group of shooters in the Warriors, it will be difficult for the Lakers to gain favor.

Even if the Lakers can force the Warriors into a positional battle, such a rhythm will still make Lakers players feel awkward.

However, after the start of Game 4, the Lakers changed their previous style of play. Both Bynum and Gasol played very proactively, especially Gasol, whether in singles in the low post or supporting him in the high post.

All done impeccably.

Kobe didn't ask for the ball too much, but instead chose to cut and run to attract the attention of the Warriors' defense.

Facing the Lakers' style of play, the Warriors, who had already played three games before, seemed extremely uncomfortable. They were at a loss on the defensive end and allowed the Lakers to score 30 points in the first quarter.

Correspondingly, without too many opportunities to counterattack, the Warriors have to enter the offensive position battle. The Warriors can find a direction when they fall into the position battle. The Lakers' defense can still find a direction. Strictly guarding the perimeter is still their strategy, and the Warriors' perimeter attack

If they don't open, their offense will be much weaker. After the first quarter, the Warriors only scored 21 points.

After entering the second quarter, Yang Shuai, who was dissatisfied with his team's offense, began to participate more in the offense. With his strong attack in this quarter, the Warriors scored 27 points after a single quarter, but the Warriors' offense against the Lakers

There was still not much that could be done. After the first half, the score between the two teams was 56:48, with the Warriors trailing by 8 points.

At the beginning of the second half, Yang Shuai's shooting touch began to decline, and the rest of the Warriors players were still unable to open the perimeter. The Warriors' offense relied more on Yang Shuai and Evans to attack the inside, which also caused their offense in this quarter to suffer.

Great restriction. In the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams widened to 13 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were still behind by 11 points. Entering the final quarter, they gave the Warriors a try. Their shooting touch from the outside began to recover, and they finally picked up the offense and narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

But in the end, the Warriors still had problems on the defensive end. They failed to withstand the Lakers' offense, and the point difference gradually widened to 8 points.

108:99, with an 8-point difference, the Warriors lost Game 4 at their home court, allowing the Lakers to tie the score at 2:2.

The process and result of this game undoubtedly made Lakers fans excited. After the 2:2 tie, the Lakers still had the home court advantage. The most important thing was that they saw the Lakers they wanted to see, the one that was at the end of the regular season.

A strong Lakers team.

In this game, the Lakers' three major insiders jointly contributed 58 points. All three scored in double figures at the same time, showing a very good state. Gasol even scored a near-triple-double with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

"This is the Lakers we want to see, with a strong interior offense, beautiful passing and cutting coordination, quick ball transfer, and a familiar triangle offense. The familiar Lakers appear before our eyes again.

If they can maintain such concentration on both offense and defense, the Lakers will still be one of the most difficult teams to defeat in the league, and they can still take the absolute initiative even if they face the Warriors.

Kobe's performance in this game is what all fans want to see most. Although he only scored 26 points in the end, he only took 16 shots and did not make a single mistake in the game..."

The local media in Los Angeles have enough reasons to be excited. The Lakers have not only regained their form but also regained their home court advantage. Although having home court advantage in the playoffs does not necessarily guarantee the final victory of the game, home court advantage does.

No team can ignore it.

This time, it was the Warriors who held the internal meeting. It was obvious that the Warriors had some problems in Game 4. This is not the first time for the Warriors to have problems on the defensive end, even if there are really some problems on the defensive end.

It is not certain that the Warriors cannot win, but when there are problems on the defensive end, there are also some problems on offense, and it will become very difficult to win.

In the whole game, the Warriors took 25 three-pointers, but only hit 5. The 20% shooting rate is far from their season 38.5% shooting rate. This is also the only 5 times Yang Shuai made in this game.

The reason for the assist.

Of course, there is also the reason for the Lakers' defense, but entering the playoffs, especially in the later stages, it is normal for the defense to be strong. If I encounter a tough defense, the Warriors' three-pointers will not be opened. The Warriors want to go further.

Just an empty talk.

The reason why the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage is so low is the same as the Lakers' previous games. The ball is passed too slowly. Failure to pass the ball immediately will make open opportunities disappear in a blink of an eye. In many cases, there is no ball at all.

Pass the ball and take action immediately after receiving the ball.

Nelson advocates simple and effective offense. However, this is all based on the premise of being able to score the ball. If you encounter defensive pressure and blindly choose to attack instead of sending the ball to teammates with better opportunities, it will only be a waste.

Offensive opportunities, this is the biggest problem that the Warriors need to solve.

While the locals in Los Angeles were rejoicing, Game 5 was about to come. In the Battle of Tianwangshan between the two teams last season, the Warriors had the home court advantage and got the match point. This season, it was the Lakers who had the home court advantage. When both teams finished

When adjusting the playing status, this war will definitely be quite fierce.
