However, the Warriors' 4 obviously cannot be viewed from the wall. After encountering a back-to-back battle where they were eliminated without winning, the Warriors' three-shot Musketeers broke out completely.

If the inside line can't defend, you will be beaten with the outside line.

In the sixth game between the two sides, the Warriors' outside giants broke out completely. Driven by their three-man shot 18 three-pointers, the team made 26 of 48 shots in the game, breaking the Cavaliers' record of three-point shooting set by the Cavaliers in 2016, and regained a strong away game, pulling the team back from the edge of the cliff.

In the seventh game, the Warriors and Yu Wei scored another 22 three-pointers in the game, using three-point rain to eliminate the Spurs from being eliminated. Since 2014, they have reached the division finals for the fourth time in five years.

The Warriors' promotion also allowed the Lake War to be staged on the highest stage in the West for the third time.

The Warriors' strength has improved significantly compared to last season. Faried's athletic ability is very consistent with Cole's requirements, which is why they can beat the Spurs again this season. However, more importantly, the three shots from the outside can still maintain super firepower output in the playoffs, especially in high-intensity confrontations like the Spurs, which is the biggest difference.

Fans of Oakland and the Warriors are also looking forward to this, looking forward to the team being able to occupy the top of the third confrontation between the two sides.

On May 17, 2019, US time, the eye-catching Western Conference Finals was held at the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles.

Unlike last year, because of winning the NBA championship last season and a record-breaking 77 wins in the regular season, Lakers fans are full of confidence in the team winning the championship again.

"We are the champions", "The Lakers' two consecutive championships", "City of Champions" and many other slogans with championship culture can be seen everywhere in the stadium. Many fans even posted slogans with great offensiveness such as "The teams with teams can never enter the finals again", "The second 'Utah Jazz' in history" and other slogans, which made the two sides' series already have great controversy before they even started.

These slogans were also quoted by reporters in pre-match interviews.

A reporter from the Los Angeles City News asked a very interesting question about this in an interview with Tang Shuai.

"Tang, I know there is a term in China called character. Will these slogans from fans reduce the team's character?"

Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said with a smile: "No, no, fans have the right to choose the way they support the team. These slogans are very interesting. I believe that the team and I will make this goal come true."

Tang Shuai did not say anything bold, but answered this question in a positive tone, which was an absolute confidence in personal strength and team strength.

The confrontation between the two sides officially kicked off amid the cheers of fans.

As soon as they came up, the Warriors continued their hot touch in the last round of the series. In the first two minutes, Durant, Curry and Thompson made three-pointers one after another. They made consecutive shots and took the initiative in the scene and led 9-4.

On the defensive end, Kerr used an extreme defensive approach of double-teaming against Tang Shuai, one-man assisting defense, and the team also shrank the basket, giving the Lakers enough room for three-point shooting.

The goal of doing this is quite clear, which is to compete with you for three-pointers and defeat the opponent with your own strengths.

Apart from Shuai Tang, the Lakers only have Mike Dermott, and the others are really unable to compare with the Warriors in their three-point shooting ability.

After the Warriors took the initiative in the opening game, they used this tactic and gradually opened the score little by little.

Tang Shuai is very capable, so strong that both ends of offense and defense are bug-level. Kerr also knows this, but no matter how strong Tang Shuai is, he is only one person, and it is impossible for him to defend three people by one. Moreover, the three of the Warriors are receiving the ball from the outside, which is different from the Cavaliers' way of playing in.

After the third quarter, what home fans didn't expect was that the Warriors took the lead and led the Lakers 11 points 97-86.

After three quarters, the Warriors made 16 of 31 three-pointers, continuing the perverted three-pointer feel against the Spurs in the last two games.

The fourth quarter starts with the time of substitutes.

Stephenson's layup was slapped away by Chandler. After the Warriors Ian Clark picked up the rebound, he quickly launched a fast break. When he arrived at the frontcourt, he took a pick-and-roll and directly rushed to chase after three points.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Clark hit the Warriors' 17th three-pointer, widening the score gap between the two sides to 15 points. At this time, there were only more than 9 minutes left before the end of the game.

The Lakers have the highest record in the league, so they have a home advantage in all series, but if they lose the first game, they will give in.

Judging from the situation on the field now, this may be becoming a reality bit by bit.

Billups reached out and called a timeout. He felt his head go big. It was indeed what he didn't expect for the Warriors to be so accurate in the outside of this year's playoffs.

The Lakers players ended up panting, and the Warriors' three-shot run from the outside consumed a lot of their energy.

During the paused round, Billups glanced at the players and did not speak immediately.

When the team members saw that the coach didn't say anything, they looked at him curiously.

"We need to make a bold attempt." Billups seemed to hesitate for a long time and finally spoke.

The curiosity in the eyes of the players became even stronger, and they rarely saw Birops as hesitant.

After Billups finished speaking, he turned to look at Tang Shuai: "We play small ball tactics and use speed to defend the Warriors' three-pointer. Tang, you will take the team's No. 5 position."

“Section 5?”

The team members' eyes widened, looking around one by one, all with a look of a ghost.

Yes, Tang Shuai is very strong, and in the playoffs last year, he relied on his personal ability to defend Durant alone, and then defended Anthony and James, and even allowed the team to create a tactic for him to play the fourth position this year.

However, the premise is that it depends on the opponent. When Tang Shuai plays the fourth position, the opponent's fourth position is basically the third position that has been swinged over, or against the less powerful fourth position.

Nothing else is mentioned, it is Tang Shuai's height. Now he is barely 196 in shoes. He is 2.16 meters tall like Chandler, who is 2.16 meters tall and has a position in the inside. If you turn around and hook it up, you don't even have the chance to jump. Can you play?

"Coach, this is not April Fool's Day." Cousins ​​said with a smile. The team actually wanted Tang Shuai to play center. Where did he put his face?

"No, this is not April Fool's Day, this is my decision." Billups was unprecedentedly determined this time, ignored Cousins, and then turned to look at Tang Shuai and asked, "Tang, No. 5, are you willing to accept this challenge?"

No. 5.

Tang Shuai did not answer immediately. He was mentally prepared when he played No. 4 position. After all, even James or Anthony were launched outside the three-second zone, but the center was different. Many insiders launched attacks from the three-second zone, which really made him have no defensive time.
Chapter completed!
