Chapter 245 Another fiasco!
The two once again implemented an airtight double-teaming tactic against Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was targeted in this way, and the efficiency of holding the ball dropped visible to the naked eye.
He can only increase his passing and drive his teammates.
Fortunately, today his teammates were not as determined as they were in the previous game.
Kobe hit two key three-pointers in a row.
Howard also ushered in an explosion, scoring consecutively under Bogut's defense.
Clarkson, who came off the bench later, also blossomed.
After the first half, the score between the two sides was 60:55, and the Lakers were only 5 points behind.
They finally won't be pulled apart like in G1.
Soon, the second half began.
The Warriors strictly implemented Cole's tactics, which was to always double-team Lin Tian.
When facing double-teaming, it is almost impossible to break through, Lin Tian can only increase his long-range shots.
But the defensive interference he received today was too great, and Lin Tian's long-range shots were not very accurate.
Howard and Kobe stood up, and both of them have always maintained a high efficiency.
Until 8 minutes left in the third quarter, Cole replaced Bogut and replaced Iguodala.
Death Five is here!
Witnessing the presence of the dead five at the same time, the Warriors fans at the scene laughed.
They know that the game will soon be over.
Chasing Dream Green changed from the fourth position to the fifth position, and he defended Howard.
And defending Lin Tian became last season's FMVP Iguodala.
Iguodala is also a 3D player, but his three-pointers are not so accurate.
The scary thing about the Death Five is that every player's defensive ability is above average.
And all five of them have the ability to shoot three-pointers.
Among the five, Iguodala, who is the most inaccurate this season, also made more than 35% of his three-pointers!Above the league average.
As for center Chasing Dream Green, this season's three-point shooting percentage reached 38%!
Iguodala has outstanding movement speed, top defensive awareness, and is a substitute with plenty of energy.
Facing his defense, Lin Tian's shooting percentage dropped.
After all, three people had guarded against him before!
The wheel battle of the Warriors made him miserable.
The defensive strength has improved, but the Warriors' offensive efficiency has not declined.
Curry misplaced to find Kobe and Howard. When Howard was led out of the outside line, Curry was always able to break into the inside line.
What made Lin Tian vomit blood the most was that the five players of the Warriors always maintained a running posture.
They don't seem to know how to stop.
In less than 2 minutes, Howard was already out of breath.
Kobe was not much better either, the Warriors' fast break and fast defense made their scalp tingle.
The score was rapidly expanded by the Warriors under such circumstances.
When the third quarter was over, the point difference had reached 18 points.
Such a point difference is not impossible to chase, so Lin Tian made an early appearance at the start of the last quarter.
It is Iguodala who guards against him. As the core of the substitute, Iguodala must lead the other players on the court to stabilize the situation.
Facing Iguodala's single defense, Lin Tian unceremoniously started to score wildly.
But the Warriors also launched a counterattack.
Among their substitutes, the one who can score the most is Livingston.
As a tall shooting guard, Livingston's post-up singles and deadly mid-range shots allowed the Warriors to score consistently.
Seeing that Livingston made three mid-range shots in a row, Lin Tian had no choice but to defend Livingston.
Knowing that Lin Tian's defense is strong, Livingston no longer plays singles, but instead allows other Warriors players to start shooting from the outside.
Iguodala made a three-pointer very quickly, Barbosa also made a three-pointer, and their three-point shooting rate was too high.
After the substitute time, Cole quickly replaced all the main players.
The Lakers also switched back to the main force, but under the indiscriminate bombing of the Warriors, they could only keep the point difference at about 20 points.
Lin Tian fought until the last 2 minutes before Scott replaced him in desperation.
Oracle Arena cheered everywhere, but all this has nothing to do with the Lakers.
The last 2 minutes passed quickly, and when the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 118:95.
The Lakers lost to the Warriors again with a 23-point difference, and the big score became 2:0.
In this battle, Lin Tian scored 46 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, scoring nearly half of the team, but it was difficult to save the savior.
On the Warriors side, Curry scored 30 points and Thompson scored 32 points. Both of them made 50% of their three-pointers today!
Compared with the last game, the Warriors' touch is still extremely hot.
The gap between the Lakers and the Warriors is completely on paper.
After the Lakers players returned to the locker room, Bryant delivered a speech.
The whole locker room seemed lifeless. Lin Tian knew that everyone was not afraid of losing, but what they were afraid of was losing before they knew how to fight.
Kobe Bryant said loudly: "The Warriors' three-point shooting has been amazing for two games. According to the law, they can't maintain this feeling forever. From now on, we have to counterattack them! Otherwise, if we lose another game, everyone can pack up and go home, because in the history of the NBA, no team can complete a comeback when they are behind 0:3! Go back to Los Angeles and get a good night's sleep! Then think about how to play."
His voice was deep and powerful, and the other players couldn't help gritting their teeth.
After the speech, Lin Tian and the others attended the post-match press conference as usual.
Unsurprisingly, they were once again questioned by media reporters from all over the world.
The questions of these reporters are nothing more than how the team lost, tactical issues, ball possession issues, defensive issues...
In a word, as long as you lose the game, everything is problematic, and things that are not problematic have become problematic.
A reporter even asked Howard if he was blown up by Green, which instantly detonated Howard.
After finally finishing the post-match interview, they returned to the hotel dejectedly.
When Lin Tian turned on his phone, he received many encouraging messages.
He simply checked his phone and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, the players got on the plane to Los Angeles after breakfast.
Looking at the sky of Auckland through the window, Lin Tian was filled with emotion.
He doesn't even know if he'll have a chance to return to Oakland this season.
He hasn't felt this powerless since playing in the NBA.
Now they have no way out, and only by fighting hard can they barely see a little hope.
After the plane landed in Los Angeles, this time, hundreds of people did not come to pick it up.
This kind of situation is quite normal. They have suffered disastrous defeats in two consecutive games, and they still can't see any hope. The fans must be very disappointed.
