498. The Warriors Can't Breathe

The data after the game showed that when the Warriors faced Ye Fei's defense, 85% of their shots were missed. The Warriors made 17 turnovers, half of which were related to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei's defense is ubiquitous, with a huge defensive area and strong defensive suppression, which does not give the Warriors an easy chance to make a move.

His defense cut the Warriors' overall offense, and they couldn't be connected at all.

What makes the Warriors even more troublesome is that the Lakers' defensive and offensive systems are becoming more and more like a whole. Before the Lakers relied entirely on Ye Fei to hold up the banner of both offensive and defensive ends, but in this game, he cooperated with Kobe's offense to connect the Lakers' overall offense, and Ye Fei did not need to be fully fired on the offensive end.

Therefore, he can put more energy on defense, and the defensive formation with him as the core of the arrow has greatly enhanced the defensive strength of the "five-six-three" Lakers. Clarkson, Stephenson, and Kobe Bryant can focus on the Warriors' three-pointers, and Ye Fei can handle the offense in the paint alone.

Coupled with Larry Nance, helping to defend in the interior, the Lakers' interior defense is stronger.

The Lakers, who have formed an overall offensive and defensive system, have improved by more than a star and a half compared to before. Even facing the Warriors with the strongest overall strength in the league, as long as the Lakers players play their own level and go all out to hit every ball well, the Warriors can do nothing. lakers.

In fact, it also proves this point.

In the fourth game between the two sides, the Lakers' starting lineup has not changed, it is still the lineup of the previous game, but after the running-in of the last game, plus these two days of training, this lineup is even stronger.

The Warriors have not changed their formation, but they have changed their offensive and defensive strategies.

The offense in the first round of the game was initiated by the Lakers. The Warriors shrunk their defense and waited for the Lakers players to come in inside. In the last game, they conceded too many goals inside. Kobe and Ye Fei's pick-and-roll cooperation is going in. As long as the defense is arranged inside, their offense can be restricted.

Their idea is very good, but the Lakers' offense is not limited to the inside.

Kobe saw that the opponent's defense was shrinking inside, and after avoiding the defense, he shot directly from outside the three-point line.

swish!

With a picturesque shot, the ball was steadily sent to the basket. Kobe opened the scoring for the Lakers with a three-pointer.

Looking back, the Warriors' offense did not blindly shoot from the outside. Let ** pull out to cover, Curry bypassed the defense and walked towards the inside. Larry Nance switched defenses, Curry played big, skilled dribbling, all kinds of gorgeous rhythm changes, Larry Nance didn't follow, Curry went to the basket and made a shot.

The Warriors' offensive tactics are very clear, which is to play inside, compress the Lakers' defense, and create opportunities for outside players.

The Lakers did the opposite. The opponent shrank their defense and looked for opportunities outside.

Kobe played a pick-and-roll with Ye Fei, Ye Fei blocked the man, pretended to make an air cut, made a beautiful reverse run and went out of the three-point line, after receiving the pass from Kobe, he pulled up from outside the three-point line

Same picturesque jump shot, same beautiful goal.

Ye Fei made a three-pointer.

6 to 2.

The Lakers took the lead again in the opening game. The Warriors were not in a hurry and still wanted to open a breakthrough in the paint. Thompson used the cover to run near the free throw line, borrowed Curry to pass the ball, and made a mid-range shot.

The Warriors fight steadily and must find their own rhythm.

The Lakers frequently made troubles from the outside. Clarkson, Kobe, and Stephenson shot from the outside whenever they had the opportunity. Ye Fei protected the offensive rebounds so that they could make bold shots with confidence.

After the opening, all three felt good, helping the Lakers firmly grasp the advantage on the court.

As for the Warriors' offense, they played well at the beginning, but as Ye Fei changed their defensive strategy, they didn't wait for the Lakers to shrink their defense, and their offense had problems.

Ye Fei put more pressure on the defensive end in this game, making the Warriors breathless.

He was waiting inside for the Warriors players to come in. His stealthy steals, his big hat like a flying fairy, and the ubiquitous help defense made the Warriors' offense impossible to open.

The Lakers took the opportunity to open the score.

Unable to find an overall offensive rhythm that suits them, the Warriors simply let go. Curry and Thompson did not find teammates to cooperate, they wanted to stand up and save the team.

Thompson took the lead and scored the first three-pointer of the game from the perimeter...

Curry then announced from the outside that once the two make a three-pointer, the Warriors' offense will definitely open.

Ye Fei immediately suppressed their momentum.

In the next round, the Warriors found a three-point opportunity, and Ye Fei made a quick save, hitting Curry with a volleyball cap.

The Warriors increased their defensive strength and restricted the Warriors' three-pointers.

On the offensive end, Kobe began to run wild, making a mid-range and long-range shot, which made the Warriors extremely desperate.

Kobe is not the only one standing out for the Lakers. The whole team feels very good in three-pointers today.

Nick Young, Casspi, Jeff Green and even Rondo all scored three-pointers.

The Lakers used the means the Warriors are best at to defeat the Warriors little by little.

Ye Fei is on the defensive end, improving his defensive strength, overwhelming the Warriors who feel bad today.

Throughout the game, from the first minute, the Lakers played against the Warriors.

This increasingly tacit offensive and defensive system, under the leadership of Ye Fei and Kobe, made the Warriors extremely desperate.

In the end, they still did not find a chance to comeback, and lost again in the away game, losing to the Lakers by a big score of 94 to 118.

An unexpected result, no one expected that the Western Conference Finals would turn out like this.

Shouldn't it be the Warriors Cutting Melons and Vegetables 3.0 and sweeping the Lakers out?

Why is it that the Lakers lead the Warriors 3-1 and push them into desperation.

Such a result made the Lakers fans rejoice. After five years, the Lakers finally had the opportunity to return to the finals stage.

How can they not be excited?

After all, last season, they were the second-to-last team in the Western Conference, but this season, they have made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals as a dark horse, and even have a chance to get close to the Finals.

At this moment, the Lakers fans just want to shout: I am the champion.

Although there is still some distance from the championship, the strong performance of the Lakers has made the Warriors' Green a laughing stock, and it has also put the Warriors team facing a great test.

As for coach Scott, who suppressed Ye Fei before, he became the biggest joke in the league. .
