NBA super small ball center

At the start of the second quarter, both the Warriors and Nets fielded bench lineups.

Wang Lang also sat on the sidelines to rest and observe the situation.

He knows that while they're all off the bench, it's also an opportunity for the Nets to close the score.

On the Warriors' side, there have been changes to the bench lineup, with center Bogut, power forward Spetts, small forward Barnes, shooting guard Ian Clark, and point guard Livingston.

Ian Clarke is more accurate in three-pointers than Barbosa, but his breakthrough ability is average.

The Warriors also took a fancy to this, allowing Ian Clark to contain the Nets at the three-point line.

Livingston continued to score with mid-range singles, passing the ball after being trapped.

The Nets' bench lineup is a little worse in comparison, but it also has a certain amount of fighting power.

Point guard Shaun Larkin and shooting guard Ellington both have some three-point shooting ability and good breakaways.

They were able to open up space and help each other.

The Warriors' perimeter defense has declined, and Barnes is the only one who can effectively limit opponents.

But the other man's outside attack can't be stopped.

The Warriors can only force the opponent to break through inside, and then defend with the help of Bogut's blocking ability on the inside.

But even so, it didn't work well, and Bogut got two fouls.

With eight minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors were 36-33 and only led by three points.

Both sides also changed their main players.

On the Warriors' side, there is a five-small lineup, center Wang Lang, power forward Green, small forward Iguodala, scoring guard Thompson, and point guard Curry.

The Nets are still in the starting lineup, with center Lopez Lopez, power forward Thaddeus Young, small forward Bogdanovic, scoring guard Joe Johnson, and point guard Jack.

The Nets attacked, and Jack dribbled to the frontcourt.

Joe Johnson ran straight out of the box to ask for the ball.

Jack passed it on.

Wang Lang defended Da Lopez and also kept his position.

Joe Johnson faced Thompson's defense and made a series of feints, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake.

Thompson also defended with all his might, not leaving an inch.

But Joe Johnson suddenly turned around and made a shot.

Thompson jumped along.

Joe Johnson dribbled, broke straight and rushed to the basket.

Wang Lang also stood under the basket to make up for the defense, blocking Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson struck the ball without looking at the pass and handed it to Da Lopez.

Da Lopez received the ball and threw it and hit it from close range.

Wang Lang didn't have time to react at all, so he could only jump up and interfere.

The Warriors were 36-35 and the margin narrowed to just one point.

Wang Lang gritted his teeth, realizing that Joe Johnson would cause new trouble.

Thompson couldn't fully defend against the opposition.

This is also a change in the Nets' strategy, no longer blindly relying on interior offense, but adding Joe Johnson's singles to share the pressure on the interior.

It also gave the Warriors a problem defensively.

A Smith in the live broadcast room also analyzed at this time: "Although Joe Johnson is not at his peak, his singles skills have not declined, and he is still so sharp."

O'Neill shook his head: "This won't last long, his physical strength will last at most seven or eight rounds of singles before he has to rest, otherwise his hand will drop significantly."

A Smith asked: "But in these few rounds, the Nets' interior players will get more rest, won't

they?" O'Neal asked rhetorically: "The Warriors are a five-small lineup, and Wang Lang's running speed is so fast, Da Lopez doesn't need to consume physical strength? How long can he last on the inside?"

A Smith nodded: "'I see what you mean, Da Lopez's physical strength is still a problem, as long as this point is not resolved, the Nets will still lose."

O'Neill smiled: "Sooner or later." "

The Warriors attacked, and Wang Lang dribbled to the frontcourt.

It was Thaddeus Young who defended him, not Big López.

Wang Lang was also a little surprised, he realized that the Nets also wanted to protect Da Lopez and reduce physical exertion.

But Thaddeus Yang's strength and confrontation are not Wang Lang's opponents at all.

Wang Lang also began to dribble sideways, using his strength advantage to come to the vicinity of the penalty area.

Thaddeus Young was completely unstoppable and could only retreat.

Wang Lang also made a false feint at this time, swaying left and right, turning over and shooting, and shooting extremely quickly.

Thaddeus Yang's center of gravity was mobilized, and his strength was still at a loss, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, so he could only use the bounce to forcibly interfere.

But Wang Lang is taller, and he was still in a semi-empty position when he shot, plus he shot fast enough to completely avoid the defense and score easily.

The Warriors are 38-35 with a three-point lead.

Wang Lang also scored 12 points.

The Nets' defensive strategy was ineffective, Da Lopez couldn't leave the restricted area to defend, Thaddeus Young suffered from his height and strength, and Wang Lang's excellent interior offensive skills made him completely unguardable.

Wang Lang also smiled at Curry, full of confidence.

The Nets attacked, and Joe Johnson still got the ball inside the three-point line.

Thompson didn't give Joe Johnson room to turn around and break through this time, but let the opponent make a mid-range shot.

Joe Johnson also turned over and made a jumper with elegant movements.

The ball went in, and the Warriors were 38-37, still only one point behind.

In the next round, both sides executed their tactics.

Warriors' Wang Lang constantly took advantage of Thaddeus Young's defensive misplaced singles, either hitting a mid-range shot to score, or turning and shooting from outside the restricted area.

Curry and Thompson are constantly running, opening up space for Wang Lang to attack.

Da Lopes couldn't leave the penalty area to make up for the defense, giving Wang Lang a chance again and again.

He also scored 10 points on 5-of-5 shooting to beat Thaddeus Young.

Combined with the previous 10 points, he scored 22 points in the first half.

The system prompt sounded: "Successfully hit a mid-range misplaced singles in a row, complete a special achievement, and reward [God of Basketball] Jordan's special skill [Emergency Stop Jump Shot], this skill can stop at the moment of dribbling breakthrough, jump shot, use the bounce height to ignore the defense, and hit the mid-range shot."

Wang Lang became excited, looking forward to this stronger mid-distance skill.

He is also prepared to use this method to deal with Da Lopes in the next game, and make the center who likes to stand under the basket and defend pay a huge price.

Joe Johnson, meanwhile, was also brilliant in mid-range singles, scoring eight points on 4-of-6 shooting.

With four minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors were 48-45, still a three-point difference.

But at this time, Joe Johnson was obviously a little tired and could no longer play so efficiently and singlely.

A Smith in the live broadcast room was also exclaiming: "Wang Lang showed a perfect mid-range attack, scoring in front of Thaddeus Young again and again, and blowing up the opponent."

O'Neill smiled: "Although Thaddeus Yang is not low in height, his strength is too much worse, and Wang Lang's offensive skills are rich enough, Thaddeus Yang has completely become an ornament."

"Also, Joe Johnson is not physically fit to continue playing efficiently and singlely, and the Nets are back to relying on the inside offense, and they have no choice.

A Smith asked: "If the previous Da Lopes defense, can it be more effective to limit Wang Lang's scoring?"

O'Neal nodded: "But they are afraid that Da Lopez will run out of energy, so they chose this way, but in this way, Thaddeus Young's physical energy may also be exhausted in advance."

A Smith laughed: "Wang Lang and Curry are really two-headed dragons, no matter which of them breathes fire, the Nets can't stand it."

O'Neill slapped the table: "The second quarter of the game is not over yet, let's continue to watch Wang Lang's wonderful performance." "
