NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

There's nothing wrong with this idea anyway.

Even other teams in the league did not dare to admit 100% that they could play when they met the Lakers.

That the Warriors can make the playoffs this year is a good thing in itself.

So since I have already made it, I have to do my best to fight for it. This is what I should think as a player.

Even they themselves understand that the gap with the Lakers is still very large.

It would be a miracle if we could beat the Lakers this year.

Coupled with the fact that the Lakers now have Cousins, thinking about it makes people feel very headache.

At this moment, the rookie who had just joined the group, Green took the initiative to stand up.

He came to the head coach Kerr and asked the coach to give him more opportunities. He wanted to perform well on the court.

Looking at Green in front of him, Cole was also very surprised.

Kerr and the coaching staff already know a little bit about the rookie's abilities.

First of all, Green's physical fitness is not bad, but it is only physical, and he is a bit like a point guard in passing.

But the problem is his height is not enough.

Playing from the perimeter, Green doesn't have the ability to shoot mid-range and three-pointers.

Playing inside, his stature is too short, such a player is tasteless no matter how you look at it, and it is no wonder that he was selected in the second round.

But even in this case, Green is still very confident.

As a rookie, he actually took the initiative to find a head coach, hoping to get a chance to play, which in itself makes people feel a bit unbelievable.

Having said that, since Green has taken the initiative to speak up, Ke'er, who is a coach, appreciates it very much.

This year is actually Kerr's first year as head coach.

He understands very well how difficult it is for a rookie to be questioned when he is not trusted.

So Kerr, as the head coach, also immediately decided to give Green a chance to see if he can prove himself in the playoffs.

There are still three games left in the regular season, and the last game is also against the Warriors.

Victory over the Warriors will not change much for the Lakers' record this year.

On the Warriors side, they have basically locked in the top 8 positions.

So this game is not too suspenseful for the Lakers. They didn't even put Kobe Bryant on the court, nor did they put Lin Lei on the court.

Instead, he chose to take a rest, so that the newly arrived team could perform fairly well, but Cousins, who had not yet been thoroughly run in, led the team.

Cousins ​​has no opinion on the arrangement of the head coach, and he also knows that he must adapt to this team as soon as possible.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides came up to take the I test, Cousins ​​also directly grabbed the jump ball.

But in the course of the game, he soon discovered something different.

The Warriors actually arranged a small lineup, and even assigned the center to Green.

This behavior really made him feel very incomprehensible.

After all, in this day and age, big centers are still very useful.

At least not like later, they have all become small centers and run very fast.

But soon Cousins ​​found that the Warriors' tactic seemed to be really effective.

First of all, the speed of the Warriors side is very fast, and the Lakers side is because of Lin Lei's end.

In fact, their lineup is still relatively old, and they do not have much advantage in the face of a fast lineup like the Warriors.

Coupled with the absence of Kobe Bryant, who has the ability to attack the team, their perimeter offensive firepower is not as sufficient as expected.

On the other side of the Warriors, the situation is completely different.

First of all, Curry's three-pointer ability is very strong. In addition, Thompson is shooting three-pointers in a row for two people, and the Lakers can't find any good way for a while.

Although Beverley's defense is very strong, he can temporarily interfere with Curry (Wang Zhaozhao).

But he alone could not stand the continuous shooting of Thompson and Curry.

Fortunately, Cousins ​​is very powerful, and he is almost very strong in the interior, and no one can stop him.

Even if Green is there, the same is true.

So in the first quarter of the game, Cousins ​​scored 15 points and 7 rebounds alone.

But on the Lakers side, they trailed by three points with 25:28.

In the process, Cousins ​​has shown his ability to dominate.

As for the situation on the court, Lin Lei and Kobe who were on the sidelines also saw it clearly.
