When Warriors coach Kerr saw Schroeder play, he was also a little confused.
Why do you want this guy who is fighting for the ball with Wang Yi to run up at this time?
However, as a coach, he still has two more skills than those so-called professionals.
His intuition told him that it was definitely not easy for this guy to come up.
Soon the second half of the game started.
When the Lakers were in position, they passed the ball very quickly and still took the shot within 7 seconds.
Although the Warriors' top five players rotated very quickly, they still couldn't keep up.
Finally, when the ball turned to Schroeder, there was an opening in front of Schroeder. According to Wang Yi and the coach's previous instructions, as long as there is an opening, don't hesitate to take action immediately.
But Schroeder's three-pointer is hard to describe.
The crooked shot is quite ridiculous.
After the Warriors grabbed the rebound, they did not fall into the Lakers' rhythm again, and they pressed steadily until halftime.
The commentator on the sidelines saw Schroeder shooting like this as soon as he came up, and he still shook his head.
"Vogel's substitution is really stupid. Schroeder and Wang Yi cannot play at the same time. Schroeder needs the ball in his hand to be efficient. He is not the kind of player who can catch and shoot at all."
Soon the Warriors launched this offense.
That's the moment the ball goes through the net.
Wang Yi quickly jumped out of the baseline, and other Lakers players quickly ran towards the frontcourt. It seemed that Wang Yi still wanted to serve the fast break ball.
But Klay Thompson followed the coach's instructions and immediately blocked Wang Yi, leaving Wang Yi with no angle for a long pass.
At this moment, Schroeder came forward, and Wang Yi passed the ball to Schroeder.
After holding the ball, Schroeder quickly rushed forward.
At this time, Wang Yi and Thompson were still in the backcourt, so a 4-on-4 situation was formed in the frontcourt.
The venue went from crowded to somewhat empty in an instant.
Facing Curry's defense, Schroeder accelerated past him. After reaching the mid-range, he stopped immediately and took action.
Whoosh!
The basketball hit the target.
In the next two rounds, Thompson kept an eye on Wang Yi, but Wang Yi was very slow and stayed in the backcourt. Schroeder quickly reached the frontcourt with the ball. In a 4-on-4 situation, his offense
Seems to be at ease.
Seeing this, Vogel and James on the sidelines couldn't help but praise Wang Yi.
After Schroeder hit another mid-range shot, James stood up and applauded.
He seemed to be cheering for Schroeder, but he said like the coach next to him: "I didn't expect Wang Yi to be so accomplished in tactics."
Head coach Vogel nodded: "When everyone thought it was impossible for us to send Schroder, we suddenly sent him. This had an unexpected effect, plus Schroder is always in the frontcourt.
Forming a 4-on-4 situation, this is what he wants. Unexpectedly, Wang Yi is not only strong in personal ability, but also has unique insights in tactics."
The two of them decided at the same time to ask Wang Yi to participate in the discussion in the future.
In the Warriors dugout, Cole had already seen the Lakers' intentions.
He couldn't help but look at Vogel.
This guy still has two brushes.
Originally, I asked Thompson to guard Wang Yi and did not give Wang Yi the opportunity to launch a fast break immediately. This would be a dead end for the Lakers.
The Lakers have never practiced run-and-gun tactics, and now they suddenly start running and-gun tactics, so the tacit understanding between the players is their Achilles' heel.
Therefore, as long as Wang Yi is strangled to death, their run-and-gun tactics will not work.
Never expected that Vogel would break the situation in this way.
But then he took another look at James on the sidelines.
Based on his understanding of Vogel, Vogel's thinking is still a bit old-school, and it is impossible to make such a leap.
So the person who thought of this way to break the situation was probably not Vogel, but LeBron James.
This made him slightly speechless. There are two head coaches in a team, are you trying to cheat?
If he knew that the Lakers did not have two head coaches, but three head coaches, he would probably burst into tears.
Now the Lakers use Schroeder to break the game, which is a bit difficult.
Schroeder is very fast. If he wants to guard him, he can only let Klay Thompson guard him.
But that would release Wang Yi.
You must know that for the current Lakers, Wang Yi is the strongest, not Schroeder, so if Thompson is asked to change rooms, it is equivalent to putting the cart before the horse.
Cole found this a bit difficult.
In desperation, he had to shout to the players on the sidelines: "Shrink the defense and don't let him break into the inside."
In a 4-on-4 situation, it is easy for Schroeder to break into the paint, so he only needs to shrink the defense to prevent him from breaking into the paint.
But this will inevitably leave the three-point line open, which will test the Lakers' three-point shooting percentage.
Kerr is betting on the Lakers' three-point shooting percentage.
Although the Lakers' three-point shooting percentage reached more than 50% in the first half, he did not believe that the Lakers could be so accurate in the second half.
But this time Cole made the wrong bet again.
When the Warriors tightened their defense and Schroeder broke through, he passed the ball to the outside.
Perhaps it was because the shots in the first half gave the Lakers players confidence, so they shot very decisively in the second half.
When it comes to shooting, the more determined you are, the higher your accuracy will be.
Therefore, half of the third quarter, the Lakers made 4 more three-pointers in the second half alone.
The point difference further widened to 25 points.
I was running for 30 minutes before I could see it.
If you want to defend two points, you have to give three points. If you want to defend three points, you have to give two points.
Two bottles of poison of your choice.
In the end, Cole chose the latter.
Don't let Schroeder drive his teammates and guard the three-point line.
As for whether Schroeder will rush in and score, let him score.
Letting him score two points is better than letting someone else score three points.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers' lead was still 20 points.
It looks like the Lakers will win this game firmly.
Every Lakers fan is excited.
"Steady, steady, the Lakers are steady today."
"Look at Brother Yi's data."
"Brother Yi didn't score much today, mainly because he scored 22 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, he kept driving his teammates. In the third quarter, he was in the backcourt a lot of time, and the ball was always in Schroeder's hands, so he has been there until now.
The score so far is only 27 points.”
"But Brother Yi has more assists today. With the assists in the second quarter, his assists have already reached double figures, 10 assists."
"His rebounds also reached 9. It seems that a triple-double today is no problem."
"The Lakers won Tianwang Mountain, and Brother Yi got a triple-double. A double happiness."
However, the Lakers ignored a problem.
The Warriors have the Splash Brothers.
