0-3 behind, the Lakers really retreated to the edge of the cliff.
To be honest, I didn’t expect the Oita OIT of this round of series to be one-sided. Whether it is the configuration and game on both sides before the series starts, or the game content shown by G1G2, the Lakers are not able to play. Back to the home court, it was Oita OIT of 0-2 again. The two buff were superimposed. You can hardly believe that there will be a result of 0-3. Even from the first half to the first section of the third quarter, many plots are implying, g3 was won by the Lakers. For example, yokedge still did not crack the Lakers’ No. 4/5 defensive dislocation. Murray scored 30 points too C in the first half, and the status in the second half may not be maintained. Yokedge committed 3 crimes in the second half, in the third quarter, he scored four and a half points and got the fourth criminal. Even before that, yokiki’s performance was a bit “dish” to his normal level, but everyone knew that the Nuggets could not be separated from yokiki, he is with or not. These are two teams.
The Lakers had a chance to take away the victory, and as long as the big score was not 0-3, the series was just beginning. But the Lakers didn’t grasp it, or the Nuggets were far more decisive than people thought-you would think that Murray’s significance in packing up his fire and making strategic adjustments was greater than his desperate efforts, but the Nuggets didn’t think so, this is exactly the same as the sweeping momentum they took out when they went to the home court of the sun. Even if they couldn’t do it, they should do their best. This is somewhat a lack of “design sense”, but the Nuggets are the forced harvest under the unfavorable strategic situation. If you experience the despair of going to Los Angeles home court in the past, you will feel more and more-really awesome.
Compared with G2, Ham did not make many adjustments in G3. It was still Vanderbilt’s first match Murray. He initially used a heavy eyebrow to yokeki. When the eight villages came out to yokeki, the heavy eyebrows went to Gordon. Ham was able to stick to the use and strategy of G2 because G2 was an overall defense of the Lakers without major problems. He could not stand the decomposition defense of Yoki Qi, and the Nuggets had super three-line fast attack, and Murray’s fourth section completes the outbreak of hard solution and responds to everything. If I am Hamm, after watching the G2 video, I will also think that it will continue to be so defensive, full of execution, and wait for Murray to cool, the effect is feasible.
As a result, Murray not only did not cool down, but also added a fire. In the first half, Murray cut 30 points alone, and Gordon, who scored the second highest in the Nuggets, only scored 7 points. During the rest period of Murray, jokiki led the team to attack constipation. It can be seen that the attack of the Nuggets in the first half was completely supported by Murray alone. If what nuggets are better at can’t be played out, just rely on Murray’s super spirit, the Lakers shouldn’t be afraid. Recall your feelings when watching the live broadcast. Do you think that as long as the Lakers maintain the current defensive strength, after Murray gets cold, the Lakers will take the initiative in the game?
Murray took only 7 points in the second half, but the Nuggets attack did not lose power. In the second half of the game, the Nuggets stood out one by one, biting the game in a variety of ways, waiting until the teacher who had rested for more than half of the time had finished charging and returned to harvest. Since the toughness of the nuggets is like this, they should win, and the Lakers missed the opportunity to ignite the home atmosphere twice and defeat the confidence of the Nuggets. In the back, those who lost confidence became themselves.
The first opportunity missed by the Lakers was that they failed to get the start.
Before this game, this year’s playoffs, the Lakers won an average of 7 points in the first quarter at home, which was very strong. Getting a start at home will put great psychological pressure on the opponent, and it is very tiring to chase points away. Murray played against the sky in the first quarter, which was indeed one of the reasons why the Lakers fell behind in the first quarter, but it was definitely not the reason why the Lakers only scored 20 points in the first quarter. The Lakers played poorly because:
Russell and heavy eyebrows have some bad choices. The former is a pure dish in this round of series, and the latter obviously has a better effect of playing without balls (blocking, removing, covering, and empty cutting), and will still forcibly choose some one-to-one, and this round of series basically proved that heavy eyebrows couldn’t beat yokki one by one;
More importantly, the Lakers couldn’t score three points. Although it is not strange that the Lakers are not allowed to score three points, the problem is that the Nuggets have been improving their defensive execution by taking advantage of the poor space of the Lakers. G1 both sides have a little undefended for most of the time. G2 both sides have found a way to defend each other, while G3 Nuggets Lakers are full from strategy to execution-basically, all the players stepped on the edge of the paint area, and the defensive circle was very small. It was really difficult for the Lakers to get in.
It is also the key for the Lakers to fail to grasp the second chance if they fail to enter the designated three points. The second chance of the Lakers appeared in the third quarter after the 4th offense of yorkki. During this period, the Lakers failed to contain the Nuggets attack, and their attack was not very good either, if James hadn’t finally scored two points, the Lakers might have even been pulled apart without jokiki.
Simply put, the Lakers still died on the long-standing problem of space difference. Some chicken-stealing empty cuts can still be played, but this kind of ball is not easy to play. The fast break was also contained. The Nuggets retreated very fast, and there were almost no mistakes in this game. The Lakers could not find a simple way to fight behind the Nuggets. More often, the Lakers need to split from the front and tear off the defense line after a fight, regardless of how strong Zhan Mei’s ability of RIM is, it is impossible to finish the end when the number of opponents is dominant. What’s more, the Nuggets’s ability to protect baskets is somewhat underestimated. Except for Gordon’s contribution to the memorable eight villages, when Zhan Mei did not have the advantage of body position, they didn’t rush to move the care basket of the teacher.
Russell’s poor playing did cause a chain reaction. Yogueta could no longer punish the Nuggets for shrinking, and there was no restraint on the weak side. Only Reeves was left in the space for the Lakers to start.
Another situation is that Schroeder has no positive presence in this round of series. He does not have much space to threaten. He can’t play well with the ball and has no authority. The defensive end is beaten by Murray, in this way, he is not more valuable than Fan Debiao. The Lakers had no shortage of defenders. Russell and Schroeder exploded themselves, which became another matter. Ham’s Raider Lonnie Walker scored two points, but was hit three at the end of the third quarter by Pop (can’t blame him, pop had two dry shots that were too hard), which became the hard solution for jokedge to save his life when he was not present.
In such a set, you will find that three of the Lakers said that the depth is better than that of the opposite side, and the rotation is almost abandoned (Fan Debiao is too much to drag space, Russell, who is a space point and a ball holder, explodes himself, schroder did not make any contribution to attack and defense). One rotation is the X Factor (Walker), which cannot be used all the time. Then, except for the first three stars of the Lakers (eyebrow, Zhan and Li), there is only one reliable rotation in the eight villages. Hamm did not use the eight villages to vomit as expected after the G2 Game. It was a little unexpected.
The plot on the other side seemed to be the reverse version of G2-from the first three sections of jokiki, the fourth section of Murray burst into the first three sections of Murray, and jokiki took the game. Of course, the actual details are different.
There is not much reason to say about some of Murray’s balls. If you can also enter against heavy eyebrows, it is not the problem of defense. But Murray’s 37 points were not exactly the same as the G2. under the circumstance that Nuggets constantly threatened RIM, the Lakers really dared not defend against three point line.
The backboard advantage established by the Nuggets in G2 and the performance of G2G3, which gave empty cuts and big meals and small mismatches when they caught the chance, scared the Lakers. Therefore, even if the Lakers knew that the Nuggets were among the top three points, they would not dare to expand too much to prevent blocking and dismantling and hand in hand.
Then, how to explain Murray’s demand in the two-point area?
I want to say that Murray has the same ability, which may be one of the strongest in the alliance-acrobatic high-difficulty shots. For example, the hands and feet on the same side force the hand, the end of twisting the body, the turn of the body back, the lag is close to the landing of the backward, and so on, Murray controls these fancy shots to avoid defense, which is one set after another.
Murray’s core strength is super strong. After gaining weight, the confrontation is also very reliable. Eating Schroder alone has no pressure, and the effect of relieve a garrison attack is also impressive. In 19, Murray’s pioneers who had no ability to hold the ball were struggling, but now they dare to relieve a garrison James.
So, why can’t G1 James get the effect of naming Murray in G3?
In fact, James G1 named Murray, in addition to increasing Murray’s foul, more revenue still depends on the performance of the cover, which is also the norm for him to name defenders in the playoffs this year. In addition to the aging of the body and the loss of three points of hand feeling, the space of the Lakers is not suitable for naming, which is also a factor that cannot be ignored. In the fourth quarter, Murray matched Schroeder and Brown against Reeves, and James named the most appropriate partner was Reeves, so he found:
The meaning of calling Brown is limited, and the other party’s single defense is relatively hard;
Reeves is the most reliable space point of the team. Naming names with him means that the other three people can’t open the space completely, so the income can only be Reeves’s demolition. Because the Nuggets guard relieve a garrison, the external disassembling machine will not be available, and it is difficult to call the name.
James’s deterrent was not enough, which caused a chain reaction:
The Nuggets dared not to pay attention to the opposite James.
In the third section, jokki, who committed the third crime, couldn’t have a strong eyebrow against the opposite position, and changed to the opposite position Fan Debiao. Then the player with strong eyebrows becomes Gordon. Who will defend James?
Pop-James did not destroy the counterposition.
In the fourth quarter, Malone didn’t use Gordon, but insisted on using Jeff Green-old Green’s three-point goal, which would be a bigger threat than Gordon’s space-in the case of jokiki’s defensive eyebrows, the player defending James naturally became a green. Green’s counterposition ability is not as good as Gordon, but Malone doesn’t care. After all, no matter who treats James, James will go to the name to find dislocation in the end, depending on whether the dislocation player can prevent James. The answer Malone gave was that everyone relieve a garrison give it a try, and even jokiki dared to relieve a garrison James. The Lakers did not punish the Nuggets enough in this process.
The Nuggets have almost done these things that the Lakers have not done well.
Nuggets played better than the Lakers. The Nuggets are of high quality. They run to the two bottom corners to fully open the fast attack space. Yokiki grabbed the backboard and pushed forward as Trident, which is really difficult to prevent. However, it is also true that the Lakers are poor in defense. The pictures of 3 defense 4 and 4 Defense 5 are common-the Lakers fall more in the attack basket round, and once they fall or stumble, they cannot come back, others fast attack is to play more and less.
Nuggets’s weak-side shooters responded better than the Lakers. Let’s not talk about jokich’s attraction and attack. Murray suddenly changed the formation and created opportunities. The most impressive thing is that when jokedge was not present, Brown’s sudden score-Nuggets knew that the Lakers would miss three point line. Brown was very patient, PROTONIC did not let his patience be wasted.
Brown played cool, calm, big heart, great.
The performance of the Nuggets named defender is also far better than that of the Lakers. In addition to Murray eating Schroeder alone, in the fourth quarter, jokiki became the one who repeatedly named Schroeder.
There is a policy adjustment-in the fourth section, Ham changed the counterposition again. Because Malone did not use Gordon, under normal circumstances, heavy eyebrows should be protected against Jeff Green. However, Green entered the bottom corner three points and preferred to stand three point line more than Gordon, which may make Ham feel that it is more difficult to defend green with thick eyebrows.
This may not be the only reason why Hamm changed the opposite position. After all, he did not adjust immediately after Green entered the three points. Instead, after jokich and Murray played two rounds of reverse gear demolition to find Schroder, ham couldn’t stand it.
Hamm thinks that this reverse block can destroy the defense outside the thick eyebrow defense zone? After all, there is no way for eight villages and Schroeder to directly relieve a garrison Murray and jokiki, while eight villages have insufficient ability to prevent both blocking and dismantling, and it is likely that they will not be able to prevent Murray when they go online, schroeder could not get stuck in the situation of yokiki when he went offline.
However, the heavy eyebrow defense yokiki has proved to be a dead end in this round of series-as long as the heavy eyebrow leaves the basket, the Lakers’ defense will explode.
Therefore, this counterposition adjustment finally pushed the Lakers to the execution ground-yorkich did not give the Lakers any chance.
In the three games of this round of series, the Lakers have seen the hope of winning every game and mastered some effective strategies to defend yokedge, but no team can reverse the overall situation under the condition of falling behind 0-3, the fault tolerance rate is 0, which can’t stand any waves, let alone the opponents are stronger than them.
The Nuggets finally proved that they became the first in the West not only because MVP was in control. Jamal Murray and Russell have close regular season data, but the latter only achieves the fate of Russell that the Lakers must have a weak side to be emptied in the playoffs, while the former can reproduce miracles repeatedly, let those incredible goals become the norm. Therefore, we must say that it belongs to Murray’s field. He is a big scene gentleman and was born for the playoffs. He is not a satellite around yokiki, he has a bright future without losing to the MVP beside him.
Yokedge finally waited for Murray, and when he arrived at pop and Brown, he also saw the health and growth of PROTONIC. They formed a team that was not well-off but strong enough to strive for the upper reaches, and came to the stage where they should have been welcomed for a long time. Patience and persistence have been rewarded again in this era. It is still early to say congratulations, but that premonition cannot be pressed.
Will you still not believe in nuggets?
Perhaps, in the next few years, you can trust them unconditionally.
