Chapter 600: Data and Control

The Warriors are the epitome of small ball, but they don't have the shortcomings of a small ball lineup that is poor defensively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The reason why the ball kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred is because it replaces speed with weight and height!

As a result, most of the small-ball lineups have poor defensive capabilities!

For example, Dubart was in the No. 4 position, and in the face of Dirk, Griffin was only abused.

In order to prevent Dubart from being bloodied, Steve Kerr had to let Iguodala defend Griffin and Doballow defend Jordan.

But as a result, Jordan swiped the rebounds wildly.

The Rockets are also a small-ball lineup, one big and four small!

He's Terrence Jones going to blow up Aldridge!

Looking at the Warriors again, Green to the No. 4 position, or make Griffin and Ibaka uncomfortable, or even let him let the No. 5 position, Gasol and Howard can't take advantage, and they can protect the basket when they stand at the No. 5 position!

Similarly, Barnes stands in the No. 4 position, and he can also not suffer in front of Randolph and Griffin!

It can be said that Green ensured that the big four small lineups did not suffer, and Barnes guaranteed that the five small lineups did not suffer!

While most small-ball teams are still struggling with the problem of defensive scum in one big and four small, the Warriors have solved the defensive problems of the five-small lineup!

In addition, the Warriors have another killer feature.

That's a change of guard!

The Warriors' switching is super terrifying, their second to fourth positions are: Green (201cm), Barnes (203cm), Thompson (201cm), Iguodala (198cm)!

Each of these guys can defend more than three positions.

Because of this efficient switching, the Warriors can minimize the appearance of point guards.

This season, the Warriors have allowed opponents to shoot as little as 32.1 percent from three-point range!

Barnes, Thompson and Curry didn't have too strong defensive ability when they entered the NBA, all of which were defensive stalwarts that the Warriors trained for the team.

Last season, Kerr didn't let Thompson go big in most games, leaving Curry to face Paul, Conley, and Irving directly.

It is because of this that the main rotation of the whole team has been formed with defensive shortcomings!

In the playoffs, no means of scoring or scoring weapons can help the Warriors.

In the 14-15 season, in order to save Curry's physical strength, Thompson could go more big and small, and when Thompson couldn't defend Harden, Barnes was able to stand up.

In the Finals, when Barnes couldn't defend James again, Iguodala stepped up again......

Therefore, the Warriors are fundamentally different from the previous run-and-gun tactics!

Because they have a thousand-armed Guanyin-like defense!

Data reality.

Last season, the Warriors were second in the league in offensive efficiency and first in the league in defensive efficiency!

This season, the Warriors are second in the league in offensive efficiency and second in the league in defensive efficiency!

If it weren't for the Nets' strong rise, the Warriors' offensive efficiency would be number one in the league!

For comparison, the team with the sharpest offense 12 years ago was the Suns.

They were first in the league in offensive efficiency and fifteenth in the league in defense in '05.

No. 1 in offensive efficiency in '06 and 16th in the league in defense.

No. 1 in offensive efficiency in '07 and thirteenth in the league in defense.

No. 1 in offensive efficiency in '08 and 16th in the league in defense.

No. 1 in offensive efficiency in '09 and No. 25 in the league in defense.

10 years of offensive efficiency, 19th in the defensive league.

But now, the team with the sharpest offense is no longer the Suns, but the Warriors and Nets!

It can be said that the small-ball era is the post-Sun era, and the leader is the Miami Heat.

The Heat were third in offense and fifth in defense in 11 years.

The 12-strong Heat are fifth in offense and fourth in defense.

13 years of first offense and seventh defense.

In 14 years, the Spurs won the championship, sixth in the league in offense and fourth in the league in defense.

The data shows that the era led by the sun is the first era of small balls!

At that time, the Suns were the first in the league in offense, without any opponents, but their defensive ability was in the middle of the league, or even after.

And among the team's cores, Nash, Xiao Si's defensive ability has always been bad, and when the offense is dumb, the defensive ability is still "stable"!

This is the deadliest in the playoffs, where the ball is contested.

But what about the current Warriors, who are dumb on offense, and their strong defensive ability can still make the score tight.

Looking at the Heat again, they are obviously much better than the Suns!

Although the offensive efficiency has not always been the first, the defensive efficiency has always been in the top 10 in the league!

Offensive and defensive!

At that time, the Heat relied on a mousetrap-like bag defense, which made their defensive ability rank in the top 10 in the league.

It is not an eternal truth that you can win the championship by having both offense and defense, but it is not far off.

The Warriors are very strong on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, Myers said: A player's height, shape and versatility are important, and the traditional definition of position is outdated and still key!

The Warriors have a lot of firepower, so it's enough to play a variety of offenses.

When Curry is on the floor, the Warriors can play blocking and pick-and-roll around him, and Green's ability to share the ball gives the tactics enough continuity!

When Dulant and Curry are on the floor, Thompson and Iguodala can also find Dulant and Thompson in time with the playmaking pass at the top of the arc.

The stats show that the Warriors are averaging nearly 30 assists per game this season, with eight more than two and three more than three, of which Green is the most of seven!

Don't forget, this is an average!

Technically, the Warriors already have five magicians on the court at the same time.

Curry can hold the ball and play without the ball, Dulan can score, play, and defend, Iguodala can organize and have three-pointers, Green can block and dismantle, and can split the ball at the top of the arc and instigate fast breaks.

Similarly, when defending, the Warriors' wings can defend more than three positions.

Such a team can change positions at any time, everyone is an attacking point, a defender, and again, a playmaker!

Everyone's mode can be switched at will, which is something that many point guard-driven teams or single-core teams can't match.

In addition, there are elementary school students who know the formula: 33 percent three-point shooting rate is equal to 50 percent two-point shooting percentage.

In terms of numbers games, that's true.

But don't forget, basketball isn't just a numbers game, sometimes, it's more important than the data, it's control!

The reason why Xiao Ran's Nets team is strong is because Xiao Ran can ensure control on the court!

Defensively, you have a 33 percent shooting percentage and you have a 50 percent two-point shooting percentage, and there's no comparison in terms of control!

Because then you'll be on the court 67 percent of the time, and you'll have to be exhausted by the replay position!

Of course, the Warriors don't have that kind of trouble, because they have a 43 percent three-point shooting percentage!

Sum up.

The Warriors' success is a reversal of the laws of basketball and even the philosophical dialectic.

I sacrificed height and tonnage for mobility, but that doesn't mean I'm weak in rebounding and I'm at a loss on the inside.

I was away from the basket to score, but that didn't mean I was less efficient!
