NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 431 Curry's Demon Tribulation

The Lakers continue to practice at UCLA Health.

After winning an away game, the players are very relaxed.

The mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is everywhere, except for themselves, they are not very favored.

If they lose first and then win, it is estimated that everyone will even be optimistic about them winning two home games.

But they only won by 1 point in the first game, and lost by a big score in the second game. The media, who had been slapped in the face countless times, finally predicted it right in the second game, and began to have the confidence to wag their tails again.

They have tasted the sweetness from the Warriors, and this time they naturally choose to believe in the Warriors.

"The Warriors must win, Curry turns on the offensive mode, and the Lakers are completely overwhelmed."

"The Huaxia performed well in the playoffs, but in front of Curry, he can only turn into a crab with soft feet."

"Don't touch the china bank, he's no match for Poole."

Originally, they were analyzing the Lakers and Warriors, but all the gods and media, for some reason, turned their attention to Meng Hua.

To analyze the Lakers, shouldn't it be comparing James and Curry?
When they put Meng Hua on the shelf and compared it with Curry, Meng Hua had already won, but after a pass of analysis, they still believed that Meng Hua had lost.

This is as ridiculous as they put James against Jordan and then laughed at James' behavior.

Compared with basketball No.1, don't you think of him as the second person in basketball?

The king naturally beats the little king, will you use the king to beat the three of spades?
Meng Hua made 100 three-pointers in a row. In addition to the heavy responsibility of defense, he wanted more shots.

He was defeated by Curry in the last game. He has already thought about how to improve his defense, but his three-pointers are still too few.

In other words, there are too few three-pointers in the tactical design.

He made 9 of 3 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage is indeed very low.

But there were three goals, all of which were completely blocked by teammates, and they were thrown to him.

For two of them, time was running out, so he struck iron at the speed of light.

There is another one, the ball is passed out of the sideline quickly, and he has lost his rhythm when he retrieves it with long hands.

If you don't count these three goals, he also made 50% of his three-pointers.

More shots don't necessarily mean more strikes.

When you try out the feel, your teammates will feed the ball later, and you can keep the feel.

When you don't have an offensive role, and others will give it to you when they have leftovers, you may hit everyone.

There are not enough balls.

Westbrook is in control, and he also needs touch.

James has switched to playing off the ball for the team, and he also needs touch.

The thick eyebrows on the inside can't let him keep defending and waste his offensive talent.

Meng Hua also knows this, especially James, who has changed from a hard core with the ball to playing off the ball. He has sacrificed a lot for the team. He can't run to him and tell him, give me more opportunities to make shots.

If he can guarantee a three-pointer, that's okay, what if he can't?

There is no need for Meng Hua to say it himself.

After losing the last game, Vogel has already realized this problem.

He emphasized Meng Hua's 3D attributes, and then asked the players to give Meng Hua more three-point opportunities.

Why should we emphasize 3D attributes?It's nothing more than to tell everyone that Meng Hua is only good at defense and accurate three-pointers. He is a 3D player and will not affect the status of the Big Three in the team.

The Big Three have actually felt the threat from Meng Hua, and they are willing to give Meng Hua a chance, but only if they don't sacrifice themselves.

No matter how good the relationship is.

Vogel is also a good person. He publicly said that he doesn't know if the Big Three will beat him like this, but he will make a foreshadowing first, and everyone will be more accepting of Meng Hua's offensive tactics in the future.

Rome was not built in a day.

The Warriors are also training, and they won a big victory, and the morale of the team has been boosted.They seem to go back to the year of 73 wins and 9 losses, they are unbeatable.

In addition to Curry, Thompson and Green, the Warriors that year also had Barnes and Bogut, and the bench was all gangsters, including Iguodala, Livingston, Barbosa and Azeri.

Although it fell into the sand in the finals, this record is still astonishing.

And now, they feel that they are even stronger than they were back then.

They have a better understanding of small balls. They have Poole and Wiggins who are even stronger than the Big Three at certain moments. The two will never be worse than Barnes and Bogut.

Even Curry's brother-in-law Damian Lee can't make it into the regular rotation. With such a heaven-defying lineup, what kind of old, weak, sick and disabled Lakers are afraid of.

After all, it has not been in the playoffs for two years. Cole has always emphasized these, hoping that the team can quickly build up self-confidence and show the mentality of the year.

If the team is full of confidence, he will cool them down appropriately. This is the regulating role of the head coach.

To make the best use of the situation is by no means just talking on paper, it will only cool down or inflate.

Curry continued to practice, and he didn't take Cole's words to heart.

At his level, he can adjust himself very well, and he no longer needs the head coach to pour chicken soup for his soul.

Are they really better than they were at 73-9?
If so, how did they get 53 wins?
Although there are reasons for injuries, a strong team will never miss 20 victories because of injuries.

Or maybe, if the team compares itself vertically, they might be stronger than they were then.

However, at that time, only the Warriors played five-minor, which was innovative. Many teams in the league did not have five-minor tactics, and even if they wanted to play, they did not have the corresponding players.

And a few years later, which team does not have a lineup of five dead?Which team would be flustered and overwhelmed when they saw you beating the dead five?

Six years ago, the Death Five was a big killer, a nuclear weapon; now, the warrior's tactics have not changed much, and it is still the Death Five, and it is no longer a nuclear weapon, but just a conventional weapon.

On the basis of the death five, they added abnormal singles and introduced Death God Durant, which made their lineup, both upper and lower limits, directly invincible, and easily won two championships.

It's just a pity that on the way to the third championship, the god of death fell.

As Green said, before you came, we were the championship.

Now, Curry wants to prove that after you leave, we are still the championship.

Curry wants to prove that he is not only the cornerstone of the Warriors, but also can improve the Warriors' upper limit.

To prove this, he does not rely on a war of words with the media or even Kuhei, he needs FMVP.

Swish!
Curry looks at the splash on the net.

He has confidence in himself, and he also has confidence in Tang Shen, who has returned from a serious injury. Even Green, although the offense is getting worse, he is not worried about his status at all.

If there is any X factor, it is because of the Lakers' No. 95 Meng Hua.

If it weren't for Meng Hua, he would have absolutely confidently crushed the Lakers.

And facing the Heat or the Celtics in the East, he is convinced that he will never let the game exceed six games.

But all of this had to be done with Meng Hua first.

This person is his Devil Tribulation, maybe after passing the Tribulation, he will be stronger, but what if the Tribulation fails?
