NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 444

His honey, my arsenic.

Payton's runaway is not a good thing for the Lakers.

Others don't know, at least James is a bit of a mess.

He continues to hold the ball, seemingly forgetting that his role has been to play off the ball most of the time.

James faced the frame, after a few fake moves, changed to the back frame, and continued to push in to beat Wiggins.

Curry suddenly gave up on Westbrook's marking, made a detour from the other side, and cut away James' ball.

Wiggins followed and hit the door with Curry.

Curry passed the ball behind his head, and the ball grew eyes and flew high towards Wiggins.

Wiggins soared into the sky, caught the ball and dunked, and after landing, roared at James who was catching up.

2-9, the offense was either a strike or a mistake. The Lakers were about to collapse, and Vogel had no choice but to ask for a timeout.

Lakers fans stared at the big screen, unable to believe their eyes.

The Warriors got off to the best start of the series, and Cole's tight strings were slightly relaxed.

Winners and losers, if you win, you have to change boldly and forge ahead to achieve success.

If he loses, he will be scolded for everything he does. As the head coach, he has to consider the reputation.

If you judge the most successful head coach in recent years, it is not Popovich, but Cole.

Even so, if the team has a poor record, he may still be fired, so he has to pay attention to off-court information and maintain a friendly relationship with team owner Lacob and general manager Myers.

His predecessor Mark Jackson, who had built the Warriors very successfully at the time, was fired by Miles, and he wanted to try his best to avoid this situation.

In addition to communicating with the boss and general manager, as a player with five crowns, he is also very good at communicating with players.

It can be said that, except for the stupid operation when he was the general manager of the Suns, his player and coaching careers are perfect.

Kerr was laid back and didn't want to bother his players.

His opponent Vogel is scrambling to guide tactics.

"Russell, you have to stand up and hold the ball more."

Afraid to directly target James, Vogel chose to use Westbrook to make the transition.

"LeBron, you still have to play more off the ball. You are invincible without the ball, and you are the biggest threat to them."

Even if he wants to criticize James, he will try his best to adopt a tactful way. There is no way, who made him face a genius.

James nodded: "I will, I was frizzy just now."

Vogel's heart fell to the ground, as long as James said this, he didn't have to explain anything else.

James is already extremely smart, even if Vogel doesn't call a timeout, he won't hit the next attack.

No one can stay awake for 48 minutes, including James, including their eliminated St. Paul.

After a brief adjustment, the two sides fought again.

The Lakers stabilized their position, the Warriors continued to play, the two teams fought hard to defend, and scored a goal on the court like walking on thin ice.

This is not your typical Warriors, and this is not your typical Lakers.

But it was also because of their defense that the Lakers, who were 7 points behind, could not catch up with the score, and ended the first quarter behind by [-] points.

Payton's performance was perfect, not only conquering Cole, but also conquering Lakers fans.

It cannot be said that he has no talent, his physical fitness is still abnormal, but his static talent is not enough, and it is also an inspirational model to be able to get to this point.

The second generation of stars of the same age, like Jordan’s son, gave up working hard early and went back to inherit the family property. Only he persisted until he was 30 years old and still working hard.

This kind of fighting spirit is very inspirational in itself.

Persist to the end and succeed, that is an inspirational model.

Kerr was full of praise for him, using the timeout to conclude:
"In our team, there is one person who is defending with his life. Our defense has been reborn. If we persevere, victory must belong to us."

The Warriors' offense was terrifying, but Cole never forgot to defend.

In the second quarter, when the main lineup came back, the gap between the two sides was still 5 points.

The Warriors' offense stalled.

When you defend with all your strength, your offense is bound to suffer.

If you want it all, it's all rubbish, and a lot of the time, you just have to give up certain things.

Now, the other players of the Warriors have given up the offense, which also means that Curry has to carry the offense alone.

Faced with Meng Hua's bite, Curry still ran without the ball, relying on his teammates to cover and launch the offense.

It's just that he is no longer impatient, and he no longer feels that he wants to beat Meng Hua to death.

One step at a time, this is bound to be a marathon.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that one day he would see the Warriors defending against others.

There are no absolutes.

Curry ran around Thompson twice, and Meng Hua worked tirelessly to follow him around.

Both use Thompson as a pillar.

Curry couldn't catch the ball, and Thompson was surrounded by Ku and Meng. Green had to turn his attention to Wiggins and Payton.

Payton didn't look like he was going to attack at all. He seemed to be obsessed with defense. Even if his team was attacking, he still danced the defensive dance.

Then there is only Wiggins.

Green passed the ball and gestured for Wiggins to single.

Wiggins finally understood why Cole wanted him to attack James.

The coach's trust and the anger of being abandoned superimposed on each other, and Wiggins' fighting spirit also came up.

He also turned his back and pushed James inside while dribbling.

He kept turning left, right, and back.

Worrying about being turned from his back to his face, and then stepping over, James didn't dare to defend his back with all his strength, and was pushed back by him.

At the elbow, Wiggins didn't plan to go deeper.

The resistance is getting bigger and bigger, there is no need to waste energy, isn't it good to turn over and jump?

Just do it, Wiggins resorted to a turnaround jumper.

James straightened up and stretched his long arms. He knew that it was impossible to interfere with Wiggins.

This is already the best defense he can do. If he takes off, in case Wiggins is a false move, it will be even worse.

Wiggins didn't need to fake any moves, and made a clean jumper, alleviating the Warriors' scoring shortage, and the point difference came to 7 points.

The Warriors struggle to score goals, and so do the Lakers.

They score more points than the Warriors, and their offensive distribution is more reasonable, but their touch is worse.

James, who is as stable as an old dog, is no longer stable, and he has never made a three-pointer.

Westbrook's fast break dunk hit the basket's neck again.

Thick eyebrows rose from the basket, but was blocked by Payton who was defending.

As for Rivers, he hit every shot, but he only took one shot. In the matchup with Thompson, he consumed too much on the defensive end.

Meng Hua, who has high hopes from the fans, is no longer miraculous. He seems to be very unaccustomed to Payton's defense.

Compared with the consecutive shots and hits in the previous game, the performance of the two teams in this game can only be described as ugly.

If Barkley loses this bet, he is likely to win more than 50.

At the end of halftime, Meng Hua hit a three-pointer in the middle circle.

Even with such a fairy ball, they are still 7 points behind.

The situation was very unfavorable for the Lakers, and the Lakers players went back to the locker room with a sullen face.
