(To explain, there are three updates today, and this is the first update. It is expected that the updates from the previous two days will be supplemented tomorrow. It will most likely be the fifth update. Please vote for the new month.)
The main reason why the Lakers lost the G2 game was because Stephen Curry, the core of the Warriors, broke out.
In the first game, due to the Lakers' double-team tactics throughout the game, Curry had no chance to perform throughout the game.
In the G2 game, the Warriors made tactical adjustments in response to this. Curry switched from holding the ball to not having the ball, and arranged for two players to provide double pick-and-roll screens for Curry, helping Curry get opportunities to catch the ball and take open shots.
.
Although the time difference created by the pick-and-roll was very short, Curry seized this opportunity and vented all the anger he received in the previous game.
In the entire game, Curry made 11 of 22 shots, including 7 of 15 three-pointers. In addition to free throws, he scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, completely defeating the Lakers' defense.
Wang Feng also scored 38 points in this game, which was higher than Curry, but he was unable to turn the tide because Curry's explosion also activated Durant and Thompson, because the Lakers had to put in more energy.
By defending Curry, other shooters will have better shooting opportunities.
Durant scored 31 points, Thompson also scored 24 points, and the three outside players scored 92 points together. The super explosive scoring power is really terrifying.
After losing the G2 game and the total score came to a 1:1 tie, the two teams went to the home court of the Warriors to play two games in G3 and G4.
Then in the G3 game, the Lakers lost the game again 109:121, falling behind with a total score of 1:2.
The trend of the game was exactly as predicted by most media. The overall strength of the Lakers was indeed very strong, but compared with the strong Warriors, they were still lagging behind in terms of strength.
O'Neal was very happy and posted @Barkley on social media, proactively asking: "Dear Charles, are you ready for your evening dress for the finals? If not, I can sponsor one as a gift."
In the G4 game, most fans generally believe that the Warriors will continue to win the game in the G4 home game, bringing the total score to 3:1, giving the Lakers a fatal blow.
However, the Lakers' tenacity, or Wang Feng's tenacity, exceeded everyone's expectations.
In the G4 game, the two sides played extremely fiercely. With 2 minutes left before the end of the game, the Lakers were 4 points behind. Wang Feng's key shooter badge was activated and he scored 9 points in a row again in the final quarter. However, Curry and Durant both stood on the Warriors' side.
came out and scored to stabilize the situation. As a result, even Wang Feng's explosive scoring output only dragged the game into overtime.
Fortunately, during the 5 minutes of overtime, the key scorer badge was always activated.
Entering overtime, Wang Feng was like a god descending from heaven. He scored 17 points with continuous sudden shots, finally helping the Lakers win the G4 game with difficulty and successfully tied the score to 2:2.
Wang Feng played 50 minutes in the game and almost played the entire game. He made 18 of 31 shots, 9 of 20 three-pointers and 9 of 11 free throws. He scored 54 points, 16 rebounds and 5 steals. He also scored 54 points, 16 rebounds and 5 steals.
With his own power, he overthrew the Warriors and forced his fate to change.
Wang Feng's unsolvable scoring performance shocked everyone. This was too exaggerated, even Jordan at his peak was nothing more than this.
At the post-game press conference, Warriors head coach Kerr said helplessly.
"Wang Feng has grown into a completely unstoppable player. His body is strong, his offensive skills are rich, his scoring is stable, and he also has DPOY (Defensive Player of the Year) level defense, especially his scoring ability at critical moments.
I have the illusion of going back to my youth and standing on the court watching Jordan play."
That's right, looking at the entire NBA, Wang Feng is currently only comparable to Jordan and Thanos James in the playoffs last season.
The total score came to 2:2, and the next battle at Tianwangshan will be played back at the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers. The originally clear situation has become confusing again.
On May 22, in G5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain began.
There were no surprises, this was another brutal duel.
In order to obtain the match point, both the Lakers and Warriors made very big moves.
Wang Feng broke through and hit the basket with the ball, but Green directly hugged him and threw him to the ground.
Curry was knocked to the ground by Butler during his breakthrough.
The whistles sounded frequently and the game was fragmented, but the two teams did not make any concessions. Everyone knew how important winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain was to the final elimination of the opponent!
The high-intensity defense caused the scores of both teams to be very low at the beginning. In the first quarter, the scores of both teams barely exceeded 20. In the second quarter, the situation was slightly better, but they only scored 24 points each.
with 23 points.
At the end of halftime, the score between the two teams was 45:44. Such a score is rare in games where the average total points per game is around 220+.
Wang Feng was extremely lucky at this time. Fortunately, he had strengthened his endurance to 90, and the probability of injury was greatly reduced. Otherwise, he had experienced various battles and was quite tired, and if he let Green and others do something dirty, he might not be able to do it.
If Lant is not abolished, he will have to retire for the season first.
However, even with the support of high endurance, Wang Feng still consciously reduced the number of attacks to the basket and shifted more of his attacks to outside shots, such as three-point shots after pick-and-rolls, step-back jumpers, behind-the-back jumpers, etc.
wait.
Wang Feng is now a kaleidoscope-level presence on the offensive end. He has 97 three-pointers and 96 mid- and long-range shots. Coupled with a series of badge bonuses such as marksman and hot zone hunter, he has great ability in scoring from the outside.
The stability is no less than that of the basket.
Relying on this, in the third quarter of the second half, Wang Feng began to continuously use stable mid- and long-range shots to help the team build a score advantage bit by bit.
Of course, the Warriors also have top outside shooters, including Curry, Durant, and Thompson.
However, in this game, Curry and Thompson's shooting touch was not very good. Coupled with the high defensive intensity of the two teams, the efficiency was mediocre. The Warriors could only rely on Durant, who had a more stable scoring ability, to score.
Durant's scoring against Wang Feng was affected by the defensive shock badge, which was already difficult. The team's scoring burden was all shouldered, and the pressure was huge. Problems soon occurred.
During a pull-up jump shot after a disguised breakthrough, Durant took off and shot, but then accidentally sprained his ankle when he landed and fell to the ground.
Looking at Durant, who was holding his ankle with a painful expression on his face, Wang Feng was slightly stunned.
"Is it still hurt after all?"
Durant's injury was an accident, but it was also an inevitable result. It was caused by high-intensity competition and physical confrontation in the NBA all year round. After all, Durant's physical fitness and physical fitness are not at the top level in the league.
, he also suffered a season-ending serious injury in the 14-15 season.
