NBA super small ball center

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides sent substitute lineups.

The lineup on the Warriors' side is normal, nothing special, it is still Bogut, Speight, Iguodala, Barbosa and Livingston.

The Jazz are center Chris Johnson, power forward Lyles, small forward Ingles, scoring guard Trevor Booker, and point guard Tre Burke.

Compared to the Warriors, the Jazz's bench lineup except for Ingles has average shooting ability, but he is tall and more suitable for interior offense.

But in front of Bogut, these interior attacks have no way but to be interfered with by Bogut, and most of them hit the iron.

Ingles, on the other hand, was guarded by Iguodala and cut the ball, making it difficult to shoot and scoring hard.

On the Warriors' side, Livingston also encountered the tall Trevor Booker defense, and his shot was somewhat disturbed.

But Livingston's superb shooting skills were not afraid of these troubles at all, and he was still able to turn around and shoot and score.

With eight minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors were 32-25 and led by seven points.

The margin widened a bit, and the Jazz trailed more.

This also adds some difficulties to the Jazz's main lineup.

The main forces of both sides appeared.

The Warriors are still in the starting lineup, Wang Lang, Green, Barnes, Thompson, Curry.

The Jazz are also in the starting lineup, Gobert, Derrick Rivers, Hayward, Hood, Raul Netu.

Wang Lang stood there, looking at his opponent, knowing that Gobert would continue to play an offensive style of play.

The Jazz averaged points in the first quarter, and that style of play worked well.

But Wang Lang knows very well that Gobert is not a real passer, but just uses his height and vision to pass the ball.

Once the Warriors make a targeted deployment, Gobert's pass is likely to be disrupted, giving the Warriors a chance to counterattack.

This is also what Wang Lang wants most.

Once an effective counter-attack is played, the margin will widen rapidly.

It would also be more beneficial for the Warriors.

The Jazz attacked, and Raulnetu dribbled to the frontcourt.

The defender, who passed the ball well, went straight to Gobert outside the box.

Wang Lang also defended closely, interfering with Gobert's pass.

Gobert held the basketball high with both hands, did not let Wang Lang steal, and looked around.

But the rest of the Warriors all opted for a strategy of going around the front defense.

Gobert's pass was greatly affected, hesitating left and right, hesitating, not knowing who to turn to.

In desperation, Gobert forced a pass and handed it to Hayward.

But the ball was touched by Barnes' fingers and poked out of bounds.

There was also little time left to attack, only 6 seconds.

Gobert continued to take the throw-in, passing to Hayward.

With little time left, Hayward took the ball outside the three-point line and didn't hesitate to shoot directly.

But Barnes followed closely and didn't give Hayward room to make a move.

Hayward's movements were also disturbed.

In desperation, Hayward threw a difficult three-pointer with a high arc and a shot point.

Wang Lang also stood under the basket, stuck in position, waiting to snatch the rebound.

Gobert has stretched out his arms and extended the range of rebounds as much as possible to fight against Wang Lang.

In terms of power, Wang Lang has the upper hand, and in terms of height, Gobert is superior.

However, Wang Lang's full-level bounce is also very powerful.

After Hayward shot the iron, Wang Lang jumped as soon as possible and touched the ball.

He also flicked the ball away from Gobert and then made a quick second jump to pick up the rebound.

After getting the ball, he landed easily, turned and dribbled, and rushed forward.

At full level of breakthrough and dribbling speed, he directly passed Gobert and came to the outside of the three-point line.

The man who defended him also became Derrick Rivers.

But Green had already rushed to the basket and was let go.

Gobert was still catching up behind, and the pace could no longer keep up.

Wang Lang directly passed the curve ball and handed it to Green.

Green jumped up in the air to catch the ball and dunked with his left hand.

The ball went in, and the Warriors were 34-25 with a nine-point lead.

The point difference continued to widen, and Wang Lang also had one more rebound and one assist.

It was also his first rebound and first assist of the game.

He's been scoring all the time.

But Wang Lang is well aware that his rebounds and assists will increase rapidly, after his offensive style changes.

He also happily celebrated the score with the shouting Green.

In the next round, Wang Lang stuck his position again and again, gained the upper hand in the battle for the inside, grabbed rebounds, dribbled and counterattacked, and played a fast break.

He also used his offense to contain the defense, allowing Green and Barnes to get a lot of opportunities.

The duo also scored 14 points on their baskets and from outside the box.

Wang Lang got nine rebounds and seven assists as a result.

Combined with the previous rebounds and assists, he grabbed 10 rebounds and eight assists.

In terms of scoring, Wang Lang only scored 4 points in these rounds, or after his teammates failed to shoot, he grabbed the rebound and attacked for the second time, and scored with a backhand dunk.

As a result, he finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in the first half, which was still outstanding.

On the other hand, the Jazz's Hayward turned on scoring mode.

The Jazz gave up letting Gobert take the offense and instead let Hayward initiate the pick-and-roll, control the tempo, and make quick stops and three-pointers from the outside.

As the shots increased, so did Hayward's touch, scoring 12 points.

The rest of the Jazz didn't have a chance to score, and they didn't score a point.

By the end of the first half, the Warriors were 48-37 with an 11-point lead.

Although the margin is not large, the Warriors' defense is excellent.

Wang Lang also turned Gobert into an inside stake, which was useless.

In the live broadcast room, A Smith exclaimed: "Wang Lang kept scoring in the first quarter, and one person took all the offense, and in the second quarter, Wang Lang changed his tactics again, constantly competing for rebounds and counterattacking." "

He got 10 rebounds and eight assists, which was incredible. The Warriors' offense was also full of energy, with Barnes and Green scoring 14 points.

Olajuwon nodded: "This is the strength of a top center, not only to score, but also to call the wind and rain on the inside."

A-Smith asked, "The Jazz only scored 37 points in the first half, is that too little?"

Olajuwon smiled: "After Gobert's tactics were disrupted, they fell into a state of disagreement and didn't know how to play.

"It's normal to score fewer points in a situation like this, but I'm sure they're going to come up with new tactics and find a way. "

A-Smith asked: 'Then do you like the Jazz to tie and overtake the score?'

Olajuwon shook his head: "It's unlikely, Hayward's hand won't last long, and the Warriors' defense is too strong, with the help of Wang Lang, they have the opportunity to directly use defense to decide the winner." "
