Guo Xu dribbled the ball through halftime, and this time Iguodala did not dare to run over from a long distance to make up for defense.

Robertson and Tucker stood at the left and right bottom corners to attract defense. Horford went outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right and could catch the ball and shoot, and could cut into the inside at any time. Nurkic went to the low post on the right to form a triangle.

This is a star tactic that completely opens the formation, turning the left side into a weak side. If the Warriors want to double-team Guo Xu, they will definitely have a gap, especially on the left side, so they have to completely empty Robertson.

In the last attack of each quarter, many teams will control the rhythm and play in this way, which is a good tactic.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball from outside the three-point line to his left hand, and quickly dribbled the ball from behind and moved the right hand horizontally to the right. Curry hurriedly followed, Guo Xu closed the ball with his right hand and turned around and moved horizontally to receive the backward jump shot, and took action in front of the three-point line.

His movements were much faster than Curry, and after he leaned back, Curry couldn't even block his eyes, so the ball was hollowed into the net.

22 to 8, Guo Xu’s 9th score.

Jackson, who made this shot, wanted to call a timeout again. Guo Xu could make a backward jump shot outside the three-point line. How can this person defend?

He could see that Guo Xu did not underestimate the enemy's bad shooting choice, but had a perfect rhythm of the outside back jump shot. It was impossible to be so skillful if he didn't practice frequently.

According to the NBA rules, the player's front foot jumping is 2 points inside the three-point line, and 3 points outside! The player will step on the line if he accidentally turns around. It will definitely be difficult for such a ball to grasp the distance and hit rate.

NBA history has never been the main player to practice a backward jump shot outside the three-point line. In the time loop, Guo Xu and Wang Jun have both practiced it. Anyway, they have plenty of time and don’t suppress their skills.

Curry took the ball and made a quick move, avoiding Guo Xu's block and returning a three-pointer, 22-11.

The Warriors' home fans applauded warmly, and then shouted "defense" together! No one applauded Guo Xu's goal at this time. This is a life-and-death battle. Warriors fans all hope to see the home team complete three consecutive championships.

Guo Xu and other teammates pulled away, midfielder played pick-and-roll with Horford, and Middleton replaced the defense. The Warriors changed to a joint defense position on the court, and they did not dare to let Guo Xu play singles all the time.

Robertson and Tucker are not good at holding the ball at the bottom line. As long as the big man saves, he can defend himself at the bottom line. The Lakers' lineup is obviously flawed, and except Guo Xu, the only thing that is more troublesome is Horford.

As soon as Guo Xu passed the ball, Horford was out of the periphery. He jumped three-pointer from the right, but unfortunately the ball went off the wrong way.

The Warriors wanted to launch a counterattack, but Curry and Iguodala were almost out. Middleton failed to control the ball in the backcourt and was forced into the midfield by Robertson. When he slowed down and dribbled the ball through half the game under interference, the opportunity for fast break was gone.

Both sides attached great importance to defense in the first quarter, and the Lakers turned away and kept suppressing the Warriors, leading 36-21.

Guo Xu attracted double-teams to pass the ball, and scored 13 points and 8 assists throughout the quarter. The second in command, Horford, was emptied several times, scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and scored a three-pointer in the second half.

The Warriors performed best on the side that Curry scored 8 points. Veteran Nowitzki scored 6 points, and the second-in-command Middleton was completely defensive, making 0 of 3 shots without a single point.

Robertson didn't score either, but his performance was extremely eye-catching, perfectly completing the tasks arranged by the coach, and the team needed him and Middleton to redeem.

The quality of a player's defense can be reflected in some details. Robertson is not only suitable for defense, but also has a good awareness. Many live broadcast hosts mentioned Robertson, believing that he is an important contributor to the Lakers' leading position.

How strong is Robertson's defense? He can not only defend against face frame breakthroughs, but also defend against back-to-back.

In the second half of the first quarter, Green played against Robertson at a low post in a round. He thought it was a misplaced, but he did not push Robertson with the ball. In the end, he made a mistake when he was unable to make a move to his teammates. From that defense, it can be seen that although Robertson was not very heavy, he was good at using his skills to make his opponent difficult to exert force.

Middleton could not get rid of Robertson's defense with the ball, and could only get opportunities by playing without the ball. It can be said that Robertson is the pillar of the Lakers' outside defense, and his defensive ability without his starting lineup will be sharply reduced.

As long as he wins today, after entering the finals, Tyron Lu is also preparing to reuse Robertson and let him defend James Devin Booker and Josh Richardson's playing time will be reduced again. They are now weak in defense and are not strong in offense.

The two young players lack experience in the competition. They always have problems with their mentality after playing. They can only play 70% of their level during training, and they will hesitate to break through and shoot. If the Lakers young players can play as well as the regular season, and shoot the ball in the open space, and play boldly in the second quarter, the Lakers may not have to play tiebreaks to eliminate the Warriors.

This is a must-take the most young people and the tuition fees. Only a very small number of newcomers can skip this link and become the core of a team and become the winner in the playoffs.

Guo Xu knew that the Lakers' No. 1 position strength would drop sharply after he left the court, so he didn't rest in the second quarter. Booker had a problem again and could not score a goal at the open position. Fortunately, there was someone who could go with Guo Xu.

Carter played for a short time in the first quarter, and came back to take the substitute in the second quarter. He received Guo Xu's pass and made two three-pointers. As soon as the role player made a shot, the Warriors players were not so determined when they were hit.

Horford rested, Nurkic led four small players to play triangle offense in the inside, and the Lakers can also ensure an inside offense. In order to defend Nurkic's back-to-back strong attack, the Warriors have to send Lopez or Gobert, and Green and Nowitzki are not good at defending.

Nurkic, a high center forward with a height of 213cm and a weight of 127 kilograms, couldn't defend himself without a meat shield. His shooting feel was very soft.

The Warriors are not able to stay in the inside line for a long time, because Guo Xu slipped through the baseline and received the ball. If the inside and the wings are not in line, Guo Xu will get the opportunity to challenge Curry alone. Assisting defense will attract double-teams to pass the ball and let his teammates take action.

Robertson did not play in this quarter, and the two teams fought to tie the game, and the Warriors were 15 points behind and entered the second half.

Guo Xu scored a double-double with 25 points and 14 assists in the first half. The ball was always reasonable. When no one doubled the ball, he also had a high shooting percentage.

In the third quarter, the Lakers sent a Death Five lineup, which fooled the Warriors 14-3, widening the score difference to 26 points. The Warriors only Redick made a three-pointer, and the others became blacksmiths, and Green couldn't make it in the open position.

As the boss of the team, Curry failed to stand up and lead the offense, and his mentality collapsed. He was beaten by Guo Xu in every game. The team's substitute point guard's strength was very different from him and rarely played. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he could only face it.

After being tortured for seven games, online fans said Curry was not qualified to compare with Guo Xu. He was very depressed and his mentality was inevitably affected. When the coach boosted morale, he said that the key to winning was to defend Guo Xu. Curry was thinking about how to defend, and he was afraid of being misplaced by Guo Xu and he almost didn't dare to break through with the ball.

The pick-and-roll attack could not be played, and Robertson restricted Middleton's breakthrough again, and the Warriors' offense suddenly fell into trouble. Green was empty and failed to score on the outside, and his strong attack felt stiff and his shooting percentage was low.

Jackson also made mistakes in using people. When he let Iguodala and Green play together, the Warriors' three-pointers became very poor. The defense of these two people is indeed excellent, but they can't defend Guo Xu.

What made Warriors fans the most collapse was Iguodala's free throw, with 1 of 4 free throws.
