Chapter 36: Twin Axis Tactics

Since Andrew Bogut himself was accidentally injured, the Warriors' starters became point guards, Stephen Curry, shooting guard, Klay Thompson, small forward Harrison Barnes, power forward Draymond Green, and center Festus Ezeli.

On the Bucks' side, their starting lineup was a surprise.

Point guard Antetokounmpo, shooting guard Chris Middleton, small forward Steve Novak, power forward Wei Zhiming, center Patrick Patterson.

It's a surprising line-up, and the lowest on the pitch is Chris Middleton, who is 201cm tall.

And the Bucks' center, Patrick Patterson, is only 206CM, which is not as tall as small forward Steve Novak.

Not to mention comparing with Wei Zhiming and Brother Alphabet, both of which are 211CM tall.

The Warriors' acting coach, Luke Wharton, was very surprised and didn't know what the strength of Jason Kidd's roster was.

This game is also broadcast live in the United States, T-N-T and ESPN have chosen to broadcast it, and similarly, the domestic Tencent webcast and CCTV5, both platforms can be seen.

The reason why this game has attracted so much attention is that, in addition to the Bucks' ending the Warriors' winning streak, there is also the feud between Wei Zhiming and Draymond Green.

Wei Zhiming was banned for two games for beating Draymond Green, and I don't know how Draymond Green will behave in the face of the returning Wei Zhiming this time.

In the same way, the sudden change of formation of the Bucks has led many experts to believe that the Bucks are dying, they don't even have an orthodox point guard, Steve Novak's three-point ability is excellent, but he needs to be open, if facing defense, his three-point is not very good.

What's more, Steve Novak's defense is very bad, and although he has been improving, defending the average No. 4 position is basically equivalent to no defense.

This change of formation, Jason Kidd can be said to be very bold, or in other words, Jason Kidd has not considered the question of victory or defeat in this game, they have to experiment with new lineups, new tactics.

Using a strong team to hone his own players, Jason Kidd is also quite bold.

If the Bucks are slaughtered by the Warriors in this game, it will be a big blow to the young players.

The Warriors' Festus Ezeli and the Bucks' Wei Zhiming jumped the ball, and Wei Zhiming won easily, and then he immediately ran to the frontcourt.

It is also Jason Kidd's idea to let Wei Zhiming jump the ball, Wei Zhiming has excellent physical fitness, his arm span is very good, and it can be said that there are not many people who can jump the ball to beat him.

After landing on the ground, Wei Zhiming ran to the front court, and similarly, the other players of the Bucks also ran to the front court quickly.

After Brother Alphabet picked up Wei Zhiming's ball, he threw the ball directly at Wei Zhiming, Wei Zhiming grabbed the basketball with his height advantage, and then he quickly ran to the bottom right corner.

Meanwhile, Patrick Patterson cut inside, Chris Middleton stayed at the top of the arc, and Steve Novak came to a 45-degree angle on the left wing.

Wei Zhiming's speed is extremely fast, and his three-point shot is very threatening, Curry and Draymond Green immediately pounced on Wei Zhiming, Wei Zhiming saw this, he made a long pass across the court, passed the ball to Steve Novak, Steve Novak was open at the moment, he jumped easily, a perfect posture, the ball hollowed into the net.

The Bucks came up and slapped the Warriors, and the Bucks' offense was within 7 seconds, and the Warriors' players didn't have time to settle down, and the three-point shot made by the Bucks had hit hard.

The Warriors were ugly, especially Harrison Barnes, who was defending Steve Novak, who went to make up for Patrick Patterson, who cut inside.

Wei Zhiming immediately high-fived Steve Novak, and Jason Kidd saw this, his eyes were slightly confused, this is the tactic he wants.

With Wei Zhiming and Brother Alphabet as the tactical center, the Bucks' dual axis uses Wei Zhiming and Brother Alphabet's vision and passing ability to connect the entire team.

Then put Steve Novak and Chris Middleton as basketball finishers, and both of them have excellent long-range shooting ability. Of course, all five of the Bucks currently have the ability to shoot three-pointers, and even Brother Alphabet's three-point shooting percentage is the lowest.

However, this tactic is currently all played by the Bucks on their own, and it is already remarkable that the Bucks have been able to successfully cooperate with each other a few times.

"If you fully master this tactic, it will take at least two months, or even longer." Jason Kidd thought to himself.

In the face of the Warriors' offense, the Bucks chose to actively change their defenses, and Draymond Green, who was defending Wei Zhiming, saw Wei Zhiming this time, and he rarely spewed trash talk or made too many small movements, Wei Zhiming thought that this thing was enlightened.

The Warriors still relied on Golden State Mobile's 4G tactics, Curry got a shot opportunity, and his trademark shot, duang, hit the iron.

Wei Zhiming protected the rebound, and then he passed the ball to Brother Alphabet and quickly ran to the front court.

Wei Zhiming's dribbling is not as good as Alphabet, of course, Brother Alphabet's dribbling is not very good, fortunately, Brother Alphabet is smarter, he hits Curry with his back and slowly advances.

As a result, the two sides could only play positional battles, and then Steve Novak and Chris Middleton began to run wildly, while Wei Zhiming and Patrick Patterson blocked for the two.

However, because the Bucks players did not cooperate well in tactics, Steve Novak and Chris Middleton were extremely inefficient in running open positions, and he could only play Curry with his back.

Curry can't carry his brother, his small body is a defensive hole, but his three-point is too perverted to make people ignore his defensive holes.

Brother Alphabet beat Curry on the back, and the Bucks once again went on a 5-0 run.

But Jason Kidd wasn't happy with the shot, and the Bucks' two-axis play didn't play out, and it looked like they were a little unsure of what to do.

"It doesn't seem like they're free-roaming." Jason Kidd shook his head and then continued to watch the game.

Here, the Warriors' Klay Thompson faced Wei Zhiming's supplementary defense and hit a three-point shot, and suddenly, the Warriors' home atmosphere immediately became warm, Wei Zhiming glanced at Klay Thompson, who had no expression after the goal, and he was thinking in his heart, when Klay Thompson's contract expired, should the Bucks' management mention him and bring him in.

"The easiest way to defeat a warrior is to tear them apart." Wei Zhiming thought in his heart, but he is not afraid of the Warriors, the Bucks' lineup is dedicated to the Warriors, a group of tall and elongated gibbons, which can make the Warriors very uncomfortable.

"If the run-in is good, the Bucks don't intimidate any team." Wei Zhiming thought in his heart, and then he received a pass from Brother Alphabet, and directly threw the ball into the hands of Trick Patterson.

Trick Patterson was a little surprised, but he thought of Coach Jason Kidd's words and jumped without hesitation and made a three-point shot.

Trick Patterson was ambushed in the bottom corner this time, he thought that the other players of the Bucks would not notice him, but he didn't expect Wei Zhiming to stop and throw it directly to himself after receiving a pass from Brother Alphabet, which gave Trick Patterson a new understanding of Wei Zhiming's vision.

However, he didn't feel good about this ball, and after Wei Zhiming and Brother Alphabet saw him shooting, they immediately rushed to the inside. Meanwhile, Steve Novak and Chris Middleton both dropped back and opted to defend back.

No one could have imagined that the two big tall men who pulled out of the Bucks actually rushed into the interior to grab rebounds at the same time, the Warriors players did not react, Wei Zhiming grabbed the rebound, and then he said that Draymond Green carried it away and dunked it with both hands.

7-3, the fans watching the live broadcast were in an uproar, and at the home court of the Warriors, the Warriors were actually beaten by the Bucks to start the game 7-3.

This is something that no one expected, and for a while many people doubted the strength of the bucks, maybe the strength of the bucks is really strong.

But then the Warriors' performance reassured Warriors fans, Brother Alphabet's pass was stealed by Curry, Curry made a layup, and then Wei Zhiming's long pass was also stolen, and Harrison Barnes dunked it.

With two consecutive turnovers, the Warriors tied the score directly, and Jason Kidd began to frown, he was afraid that the Bucks would make too many mistakes because they had just started to cooperate.

Didi!

The Bucks called a timeout, and after he emphasized the defense, and then didn't say much, Jason Kidd let the Bucks players feel it for themselves, and then explained to reinforce their tactical awareness.

Although the Bucks' tactics are ineffective, they don't fall behind much by virtue of their active defense and active competition for rebounds, especially Wei Zhiming, who is too strong on the inside, and Draymond Green can only be blown up in the face of him.

This made Draymond Green very unhappy, and he wanted to make a trick, but he thought of Wei Zhiming's violent temper and still held back.

28-22. The Warriors led the Bucks by six points, a surprise result that they all speculated that the Warriors might have crushed the Bucks in the first quarter.

With more than three minutes left before the end of the game, Jason Kidd replaced the main player and replaced him on the bench.

Point guard Michael Carter Williams, shooting guard Jerry Bayless, small forward Jabari Parker, power forward Larry Sanders, center Miles Plumlee.

This is a very strong set of substitutes, as long as the run-in is enough, not even weaker than the starting lineup of the weak team.

And in the same way, the Warriors also sent their real thighs, Andre Iguodala!

Jason Kidd didn't reprimand the main team, in fact, the main team has performed very well, Jason Kidd thinks the main team of the Bucks could lose to the Warriors by at least 10 points.

Even if the Warriors play a wave, the Bucks could be even worse.
