Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"drop......"

The whistle sounded to signal the end of the game, and the final score was 129:124. The Lakers defeated the Warriors by four points, winning a victory on the opponent's home court, changing the series score to 2:1 and taking the lead.

Today's game was also very exciting. Even in such a high-intensity game, both sides still scored more than 120 points, which shows how well the players performed.

The highest scorer for the Warriors was Durant, who scored 31 points, followed by Curry with 28 points and Klay with 20 points, all three scoring in double digits.

The highest scorer for the Lakers was Lopez, who scored 34 points, plus 9 rebounds and assists. His points and rebounds were the highest on the Lakers.

Holiday scored 19 points and Clarkson scored 17 points.

It is worth mentioning that Anderson and Korver performed very well in this game. Anderson scored 15 points and Kerr scored 14 points.

As for Zhuang Yu, his score today was much lower than in the previous two games, and he didn't even get 30 points. He scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 14 assists. His assist performance was very impressive and his statistics were also very comprehensive.

But this is really not what the Warriors team and their fans want to see, and it is also not what they had expected before. They had limited Zhuang Yu's personal score to less than 30 points, but they still lost.

And the impact of losing this game is huge.

"It's going to be difficult for the Warriors now. They should have won this game, so they would still be ahead in the series. And the next game is at home. If they win one more game, they will basically win the series."

"Yes, in this situation, even if the Warriors win the next game, the score between the two teams will only become a 2:2 tie. When they return to the Lakers' home court, I'm afraid it will be difficult to play again."

"I think it's just an accident. Zhuang Yu didn't score much today, mainly because the other Lakers players played so well. But they are just a group of role players after all. Even though Holiday and Lopez were selected to the All-Star team this season, they are not superstars. It's impossible to expect them to perform so well in the next game."

"Heh, what about Zhuang Yu? Can you guarantee that you can suppress Zhuang Yu's individual score to less than 30 points in the next game?"

"this......"

People are discussing it.

Many people were surprised at the result of this game. They didn't expect the Warriors to lose, but they lost anyway.

Of course, most people just saw that the other players of the Lakers performed well and scored in multiple areas, and finally defeated the Warriors with the overall performance of the team.

Only a few people saw the clues and some even admired Coach Scott. His vision was so sharp and he was very good at taking advantage of the opponent's psychological disadvantages. He knew that the Warriors would be extremely afraid of Zhuang Yu's attack, so he made adjustments in this game. Instead of letting Zhuang Yu attack blindly, he gave other players more opportunities to let them perform.

What is the best match?

This is the best kind of competition for a team sport.

But they didn't know that Zhuang Yu also had suggestions here.

......

The words are divided into two parts.

The Warriors were in a bad mood after losing a game.

After the game, the players left the stadium one after another, and Coach Kerr called together several assistant coaches. They did not leave in a hurry, but instead held a meeting overnight.

They have lost this game, but there are still games to come. They must work hard to win the next game and tie the score between the two sides.

"The next game won't be easy either. I just noticed that the players are a little depressed. We need to find a way to restore their confidence."

"It's not just a matter of confidence for the players. Our psychological advantage as the defending champions is gone. In the next game, the Lakers will no longer be afraid of our status as the defending champions. They are no longer a challenger, but an equal competitor with us."

"What should we do in the next game? Should we continue to try our best to limit Zhuang Yu like we did today? If the Lakers continue to play like this in the next game and the other players still perform well enough, what should we do? We must come up with a more effective solution."

Several teaching assistants spoke up and expressed their opinions.

It's just obvious that none of them were able to provide answers to solve the problems, they were just raising questions.

At this time, Coach Kerr knocked on the table, his brows still deeply furrowed, and said, "Indeed, these are all problems, but problems are not scary. We will solve them. We are the defending champions and the championship team. There is nothing that cannot be solved, and there is no opponent that cannot be defeated."

"Now I make two points."

"First, we need to find ways to solve our own problems, such as how to restore morale and confidence, and how to make the team play better on both offense and defense."

"Second, find the Lakers' weaknesses. We need to find a way to beat them. There is no perfect team. The Lakers are indeed very strong and well-balanced, but they definitely have weaknesses."

Hearing this, several teaching assistants nodded in unison.

As long as the head coach gives the direction, it will be easy for them. They just need to discuss and research these two aspects.

They also called a video analyst to organize and study the Lakers' game videos overnight.

If you want to find the Lakers' weakness, you have to start from this.

As for finding ways to restore the morale and confidence of his players, Coach Kerr is not too worried. After all, they are all well-tested players. They may suffer temporary setbacks, but they will definitely not be devastated. Give them some time and some encouragement. I believe that most of the players will be able to pick themselves up again.

As for those who are unable to cheer up, Coach Kerr has silently calculated in his mind and has decided to reduce their playing time.

Since you have lost your fighting spirit and confidence, what contribution can we expect you to make on the field?

"It looks like we'll have to reduce the number of rotation players in the next game."

Coach Kerr frowned.

This also means that players such as Curry, Klay, Durant, and Draymond Green will need to play longer and their physical energy consumption will become greater.

However, in the current situation, we can only focus on the present and win Game 4 of the series first. We can’t worry about anything else.

The group didn't disperse until 3 a.m.

After several hours of discussion and research, they already have a simple plan for how to play the next game, and they believe they can make a comeback in the next game.

But when the meeting was over, several people thought back to their current situation and couldn't help but smile bitterly. They never expected it to turn out like this.
