NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 442 Cole Adjusts Lineup
Forbearance will only make the enemy gain an inch.

Curry also thought the same way. He had no way out and was forced to a corner, so he had to give it a go.

Some people can exert ten times their usual energy at critical moments, such as Curry and Meng Hua, such as James and thick eyebrows.

Curry once again played a game against the sky. Facing the strong man Meng Hua, he still scored 30 points.

But James has three pairs, two pairs of thick eyebrows, two pairs of Meng Hua, and Curry's two fists are no match for four hands.

There are also some people who will be polarized at critical moments, sometimes against the sky, and sometimes invisible, such as Poole and Rivers.

Rivers played a dismal game, making [-]-for-[-] three-pointers. Fortunately, he is the least important role in the Lakers' starting lineup, and his main purpose is not offense.

Poole was also very dismal, and he played a lot, he surrendered 18 of 4 shots.

Such a result obviously cannot help the team.

Clay is only quite satisfactory, and Wiggins and Green don't take many shots.

The Warriors lost to the Lakers again by 1 point, and the big score came to 1 to 3.

After two battles in a row, they were all lost, and they flew back to Jinzhou very depressed.

With such a score, no matter how optimistic the media is, they can no longer be optimistic about them.

In the league for so many years, there are only a handful of 1-3 comeback games.

Curry overcame the Thunder 1-3 and was overturned by the Cavaliers 3-1. Because of this, he knows better than anyone how difficult it is to comeback.

History is always created by people, and we should not stop trying our best because of difficulties or disappointment.

After a short break, Golden State heard the sound of relaxed preparations again.

They are already very successful, they want to enjoy basketball, why should they be shrouded in the shadow of failure?

Before playing, Curry spoke.

"We've been successful enough, but we can't stand still and a lot of us have to prove ourselves.

Andrew Wiggins, you have to prove yourself, you are not the worst champion in history.

Jordan Poole, you have to prove yourself, you don't become a soft-footed crab after entering the Western Conference Finals.

And you, Clay, my Splash Brother, people say you're dead when you come back from injury, is that true?
Chasing your dream, you have to prove yourself even more. They keep saying that you benefit from the Warriors' system.

I am the same, I want to prove that we can win the championship, and I can win the FMVP.

Let us run out of bullets for the glory of the warriors. "

Perhaps Curry's words played a role. Perhaps the Warriors who returned to the home court were able to rebound strongly. They firmly grasped the opportunity and defeated the Lakers without dispute.

Another 20-point victory.

This victory greatly encouraged the Warriors' self-confidence.

In the three games they lost, they only lost 1 point, and in all the games they won, they won by 20 points.

This is outrageous, you say the Lakers are stronger?
Who to reason with?
The Golden State media has also been telling the Los Angeles media, who is stronger?

Winning is the last word, and there is no shortage of eloquent media in Los Angeles. For a while, the two teams quarreled on the Internet.

To put it bluntly, the strength is indeed half a catty, after all, the score is 3-2.

If it is 3-0 or 3-1, the focus of everyone's quarrel is different.

But in any case, the Lakers lost a disastrous defeat, which also shows that their lineup still has great shortcomings.

Their front line defense is terrible.

Except for James, no matter who plays the small forward, the height is flawed. Although the height is not absolute, there are many things that can be made up for, but with a complete lineup, the team's hoarding on the forward line is far from enough.

They originally expected Ariza to play out, but things backfired, and he has long since lost his former courage.

Don't talk about high-quality 3D, he doesn't have D, and his projection is completely degraded.

So once Wiggins shows off, the Warriors can basically take away the game in one wave.

Regardless of whether Curry shows off his power or not, Meng Hua will follow Curry tightly, and once Wiggins plays, the Lakers have no players who can guard him.

Cole also saw this, and came to Los Angeles again. He found Wiggins and had a private chat with him.

Wiggins, as usual, is playing the game.

Cole cut to the chase: "Andrew, we need your energy."

Wiggins put down his phone: "Coach, I will."

Cole said: "Then how do you use your energy?"

Wiggins scratched his head: "First, I will actively defend and consume James' physical strength."

In the series, his man-marking of James was indeed in place.

Kerr said: "Your defense is very important, but what I want to discuss with you today is offense."

Wiggins said: "I will also run offensively, mainly Curry and Poole control the ball, and I will play off the ball at most."

Cole said: "It used to be like this, but this time, I ask you to consume James on the offensive end, and it is best to disable him."

Wiggins said: "But against him alone, I have no advantage."

Cole said: "It's okay, you just consume him, from the beginning, I watched the video, without James, they are useless."

Wiggins said: "Why, we can't solve that damn Meng Hua."

Cole said: "He basically plays with James. Believe me, you have to stand up and attack James as soon as possible."

Wiggins stood up and said, "Everyone calls me Wolfberry, that's because they don't understand me. I'm a team player. Since the coach assigns me to play singles, I will definitely play more singles. I will do whatever the team asks me to do."

Seeing that the disciple finally expressed his opinion, Cole left Wiggins' room contentedly, and went to find Peyton Jr. again.

In the Warriors' rotation, although Payton Jr.'s defense is also very important, but in addition to the Big Three, he must be ranked behind Wiggins, Looney and Poole. A game lasts about 18 minutes.

Kerr continued to get straight to the point. They are all professional players, and all they think about is basketball, without so many twists and turns.

"Gary, we have to adjust the lineup."

Seeing Cole's visit, Payton was a little flattered, and replied: "No matter what tactics I play, as long as I am on the court, I will go all out. I can't play as well as my father, but I will do my best."

Cole said: "No, your defense is better than your father's. There were many defensive champions like your father back then, but now there are only a handful of players like you in the league. You just lack the opportunity to prove yourself."

Peyton didn't reply, thinking to himself: "Are you trying to compare me and my dad? What's the point?"

Cole said again: "That Chinese boy Meng Hua is too annoying. Tomorrow you will start first and be responsible for defending him."

Peyton said excitedly: "I...I...I will go first? Can I do it?"

He has been a long-term player and has been laid off again and again. Until now, he still lacks confidence.

Confidence needs to be built up by winning or boasting. Being abandoned again and again, if you say you still have enough self-confidence, it is also false self-confidence. According to Song Siying, it is arrogance. On the court, sooner or later you will be beaten out of your original shape.

Cole said: "You must be able to do it. Would I bet on the future of the team?"

Payton said: "I promise to complete the task."
