NBA: At the beginning of the full-level power, Curry was stunned by me

Chapter 498

Some media and fans are not optimistic about the Warriors' three-peat championship, because looking at NBA history, except for the Bulls Dynasty, there are very few other three-peat championships.

And the team that can win three consecutive championships, except the Bulls, must have super insiders!

Needless to say Russell in ancient times, the OK combination, won three consecutive championships, and O'Neal.

Although the Spurs had Duncan and maintained their championship strength all year round, they did not win three consecutive championships, or even two consecutive championships. It is very regrettable.

In the past two consecutive championships, the Warriors' bench performance was mediocre, which made some fans feel that the Splash Brotherhood is getting more and more difficult.

But at the beginning of this season, they discovered that the Warriors' substitutes have all evolved!

Thomas Jr. and Butler are so tough and efficient!

After the first quarter, the two teams scored 34:32, with the Clippers leading.

The lead achieved by the Clippers' main lineup was almost wiped out by the bench.

Clippers fans at Staples Center were disappointed.

As the strength of the Lakers has gradually declined in the past two years and Kobe is getting older, fans in Los Angeles put their hopes on the Clippers.

Some of the audience who came here to watch the game today are Lakers fans.

They were all very happy when they saw the main lineup playing well, but when it came to the substitute lineup, they were beaten like this?

Incredible.

The team manager was also dumbfounded.

During the offseason, when the Clippers officially announced the transaction information, it could get a lot of applause.

Some media even exaggeratedly said: The Clippers formed the Galaxy Battleship!We will definitely win the championship next season!

Who knew that the proud bench lineup was actually overwhelmed by the Warriors' small bench.

The head coach Pooh was very angry, he kept yelling at the substitute players.

The Clippers' substitute player bowed his head and remained unconvinced.

In the past few games, as soon as they play, they can crush the opponent's substitute, and even have a wave with the opponent's main lineup!

It is because of the strength of the bench lineup that the Clippers' odds of winning the championship have been increasing.

But today...

It was Paul who came out to make a clearance. He knew it wasn't the fault of the substitute players. Coach Pooh was a little out of breath.

"Brothers, the opponents are playing very tough, you haven't adapted yet, remember! They are uncrowned champions, we have to use the intensity of the playoffs to deal with them!"

After all, Paul has rich experience. He can see that the Clippers have a strong substitute ability, but his attitude is a bit poor. To put it bluntly, he just underestimates the enemy.

They think that the Warriors' substitutes are not only rookies, but also players with serious injuries and average talents, so they don't pay attention to them.

With the cooperation of the coach and Paul, one singing a red face and the other singing a bad face, the mentality of the Clippers' substitute players returned to normal.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the offensive and defensive intensity of the Clippers' substitutes increased by two gears.

The Warriors' bench has indeed improved a lot, but their lack of talent has slowly reduced their offensive efficiency.

Less than 3 minutes into the second quarter, the Warriors fell behind by another 5 points.

Old Nelson was about to make a substitution, but Zhou Yang had already taken off his coat and stood on the sidelines.

In fact, Zhou Yang didn't mean to fight the Clippers to the end today, because for Zhou Yang, this was just an ordinary regular season.

As for morale and fighting spirit, these things are not a problem for a team that has won two consecutive championships.

As long as it comes to the playoffs, the background of the championship team will naturally come out immediately.

What Zhou Yang thinks is to let the bench lineup exercise and let them take on some heavy responsibilities of the team.

This is where Zhou Yang's experience lies.

Many top teams are actually supported by one or two stars in the main lineup.

They occupy most of the ball and shots. After a game, looking at the statistics, it is true that the core of the team is doing their best, and everyone else is CBA.

Others can't say anything, after all, the performance and data of the stars are there.

However, if other players want to perform, they must have the ball!

In addition, the reason why other people are role players is because their abilities cannot reach the abilities of top stars, but they can do some jobs that they are good at to maintain the high-speed operation of the team.

Just like a precision instrument, the core components are of course the most important and expensive, but screws and accessories are equally important.

Even a spring washer has technical requirements.

So Zhou Yang already has a plan, which is to give substitute players and role players more ball and shot rights during the regular season, so as to improve their sense of responsibility and confidence.

To let the horse run, let the horse graze.

Zhou Yang is very satisfied with the performance of the substitute today.

Although the Warriors' substitutes were suppressed again in the second quarter, they have made great progress.

But things in the world, too much is too late.

Now that the substitute players have been fooled by others, as the main player, it's time to come out and express his anger for his teammates!

After Zhou Yang came on the field, he first made a breakthrough and directly dunked Odom, scoring 2+1!

After dunking, Zhou Yang deliberately shook his head at Odom provocatively, but Odom was furious.

But Odom didn't get angry, he knew Zhou Yang too well.

When he was in the Lakers, Kobe and Zhou Yang didn't take advantage of their grudges, let alone him...

Later, Zhou Yang blocked Crawford's emergency stop jumper one-on-one on the defensive end, and slapped the ball directly to his teammate Livingston.

Livingston and Thomas Jr. cooperated, and finally Thomas Jr. made a three-pointer.

The Clippers' lead was wiped out in a blink of an eye.

Clippers coach Pooh was very calm at this time, because he knew Zhou Yang's strength.

It's normal behavior, no need to get angry.

After playing for another 2 minutes, the Warriors had already led by 6 points before the Clippers switched to the main lineup.

On the Warriors' side, Curry and other main players were also replaced.

The two sides had a duel in the final stage of the first half.

The Clippers' main lineup is indeed very strong. Even if Zhou Yang does his best to help defend, it will be difficult to limit the Clippers' offense.

Compared with last season, Griffin's attack with the ball has improved a lot.

And Klay Thompson was originally just a 3D player, but his passing ability has improved a lot this season.

This surprised Zhou Yang.

Before crossing, Thompson rarely passed the ball, as long as the ball was in his hands, it was a throw!

Of course, at the peak of Thompson, there is really no need to pass the ball, because he is the best pitcher.

But Thompson in this world actually learned to pass the ball from Paul...

Don't underestimate Thompson's passing.

He has an excellent three-point ability, and those who defend him are very aggressive, sometimes double-teaming.

At this time, his passing will often play a full game effect.

Zhou Yang and Curry were fooled today.

Paul passed the ball to Thompson in the last 5 seconds!
