The Warriors' hole card, the "Death Five" lineup, refers to the super-small lineup of five players: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala, and Draymond Green. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, in the first, second and third positions, this lineup is not small; The really small is the inside combination of Iguodala and Draymond Green. Iguodala is 1.98 meters tall, while Draymond Green is only 2.01 meters tall.

Generally speaking, such a short inside combination will definitely be blown up by the opponent. But this is not the case.

The Warriors' super-small lineup has earned various nicknames such as "Death Formation", "Nuclear Weapons Formation", "Finishing Formation" and so on.

For no other reason, the lethality of this lineup is just too great, and they played 54 minutes on the court, and the Warriors outscored their opponents by 74 points.

At the beginning of the season, the Warriors would field this lineup at every critical moment and then quickly settle the battle.

As an opponent, when you face this lineup, you can't just think that the inside combination of people is super short, you also have to face problems such as this.

Curry is on the floor with four shooters, who the hell should you defend?

What to do when Curry and Draymond Green play pick-and-roll? After all, Green has become an excellent playmaker.

Also, you'll have to overcome the Warriors' incredibly fast rotation defense, and you'll have to switch defenses with every pick-and-roll.

……

The Warriors come up with a super small lineup, and they have a natural disadvantage defensively. Therefore, they must rely on their extremely fast rotation speed to make up for the shortcomings caused by the lack of height in defense.

Even, their fierce defense without hesitating physical strength and fearless fouls can make opponents lose possession of the ball before they can give the ball to the interior to eat the Warriors' ultra-short interior combination.

And the real power of this lineup is not on the defensive end, but in the insolvability of the offensive end.

When Klay Thompson was interviewed by reporters, he once described this lineup, "Our lineup is too fast, too agile, and too versatile," so the opponent can only "kneel and beg for more blessings." ”

In fact, neither the Cavaliers, who lost to the Warriors in last year's Finals, nor the team that fell at the feet of the Warriors this season and forged their brilliant opening 15 consecutive wins, have no way to deal with the Warriors' "Death Five" lineup.

As the prestige of the Warriors' "Death Five" lineup grows stronger, how to crack it has become a new topic for the league.

However, other teams have been researched and have not been able to produce any results.

Just like the Lakers, who are the opponents of the Warriors at the moment, they have no countermeasures for the hole cards of the "five small deaths". But it doesn't matter, the Warriors are the defending champions, and their real opponents are the Cavaliers, Spurs, Clippers, and Thunder, who are aiming for a championship. It's them, not the Lakers, who should have a headache.

Even if the Lakers and the Warriors are inseparable in this game, there will not be many people in the league who think they are qualified to be real opponents of the Warriors.

Although Kerr thinks highly of Yi Feng, he doesn't actually regard the Lakers as a real opponent.

With 4:43 left in the fourth quarter, the Warriors' 8-point lead now has only a dispensable 1 point.

If it weren't for the looming crisis of the Warriors, Kerr wouldn't have shown his hole cards.

He thought that if he played this hole card, the game would be stable.

The timeout ends and the game resumes.

Maddie saw that the lineup had changed on the Warriors' side, and said: "On the Warriors' side, the lineup has changed, and they are ......."

His tone was a little shocked, but also a little unexpectedly relieved.

Chris Webber made up his mind, "No matter how much the Lakers fight back, they still can't overturn the mountain of the Warriors in the end." ”

He watched the Lakers narrow the 8-point difference step by step, and he was terrified, thinking that the Lakers were about to turn over and sing. Now that the Warriors have shown their ultimate hole card, he's immediately relieved.

Mark Jackson said: "Then it's time for the big battle between the two sides!" Fans and friends in front of the TV, don't walk away at this time! Hungry? Hold on! Want to go to the toilet? Hold it too! ”

"Otherwise, you'll miss too many great shots!"

Yi Feng looked up and saw the Warriors' newly replaced super small lineup, and his heart couldn't help but feel terrified. He knew that if he wanted to beat the Warriors, this lineup would be the biggest obstacle.

Recently, the league has gone viral that the Warriors' "Death Five" lineup is unmatched. He wants to understand what is the strength of this lineup?

The Warriors changed their lineup, while the Lakers didn't. The interior combination of Randle and Hibbert, facing the interior combination of Iguodala and Draymond Green, suddenly became the "twin towers".

Not to mention what kind of role offense and defense can play, just grabbing rebounds has a big advantage.

However, the Warriors' shots are mostly mid-to-long-range, which also causes a higher probability of long rebounds, which also invisibly weakens the Lakers' rebounding advantage.

The timeout came back, the game continued, and the Warriors possessed the ball.

Both Curry and Klay Thompson played without the ball, and the man who organized the offense with the ball became Iguodala.

On this offense, the Warriors used their own unique cross-running tactics.

With two super shooters, Curry and Thompson, their cross-running tactics are actually quite effective.

Curry and Thompson first lay in ambush under the basket and waited for their chance.

They then walked in opposite directions, leaning together, arms crossed together, spinning and running with the intention of their defenders colliding with each other.

Yi Feng reacted quickly and jumped away in time without colliding with Clarkson.

At this time, Curry and Thompson have follow-up moves.

While Yi Feng and Clarkson were in a mess, Curry turned and ran out of the baseline and rushed to the bottom left corner. And Klay Thompson covered Curry on the spot, blocking Yi Feng and Clarkson, and preventing them from interfering with Curry.

Iguodala saw Curry run for a chance and gave the ball a through ball.

Curry didn't stop at all, and after getting the ball out of the three-point line, he turned around and shot.

Swish!

Out of three!

At 121:125, the Warriors' lead was back to four points. Curry's three-pointer was as valuable as gold and helped the team stabilize the situation.

Yi Feng personally asked for the ball on the bottom line and advanced with the ball himself.

His eyes wandered over Curry and Thompson, knowing that these two men were the core of the Warriors' tactics, and almost all of them were built on them. As long as they are guarded, the Warriors' tactics are nullified.

But how easy is that said?

The "Death Five" made a contribution as soon as they came up, and the Lakers didn't seem to have the power to parry at all.

In this regard, Yi Feng did not have any waves in his heart. The power of this lineup has long been thunderous in the league, and now the Lakers players are just witnessing it with their own eyes.

After advancing to the front court with the ball, Yi Feng found that in addition to Klay Thompson, who was opposite him, he was always paying attention to him, and even Iguodala, who played as the No. 4 position, was eager to come over and wrap up.

Seeing this, Yi Feng dispelled the idea of attacking.

He asked Clarkson to come over and make a pick-and-roll for him, forcing Curry and Thompson to switch defenses. And he got the chance to face Curry head-on.

In the Warriors' lineup, the worst individual defense ability is, of course, Curry.

As an opponent who wants to end the Warriors' winning streak, Yi Feng naturally wants to seize this point and fight hard.

After a few shakes, Yi Feng chose to break through.

Curry didn't lose his position, but he couldn't stop Yi Feng.

However, his efforts were not in vain, pestering Yi Feng and giving Iguodala a chance to come over and wrap up.

Iguodala's bag did not block Yi Feng's breakthrough route, but cut off his passing route. It seems that Iguodala's purpose is to let Yi Feng go deep alone.

Entering the Warriors' hinterland, he alone is not at the mercy of others.

Yi Feng didn't expect Iguodala to choose such a defense, but he had no choice but to go all the way to the dark.

Thinking of this, his breakthrough became more resolute. After taking another step, he put the ball away, sandwiched it between his big arm and his small arm, and placed it at shoulder level, dodging Iguodala's powerful slicing motion, and then pulling the rod for a layup.

The ball bumped and bumped, and finally fell into the basket.

At 123:125, the Lakers looked unflinching and continued to bite the score.

The Warriors watched their opponents hit a shot stubbornly, but they were still calm.

Curry held the braces in his mouth, advanced to the front court with the ball, and then handed the ball to Draymond Green, who ran around the three-point line.

Because of this game, Green didn't shoot a three-pointer, Hibbert hesitated, and finally didn't completely pull out to defend him. Because Hibbert knows his movement speed, he will definitely not be able to prevent the opponent's breakthrough.

However, Draymond Green was also bold, and when he saw Hibbert let him go for three points, he dared to shoot.

He took a look, then threw the ball with his hands open.

Swish!

Draymond Green's three-pointer also hits!

At 123:128, the Warriors' lead extended to five points with four minutes left in the game. The Lakers are in a bad situation, and they are in danger!

On the commentary bench, Maddie had a sad face, and he was no longer interested in commenting on the game.

Mark Jackson on the side sighed in his heart, he is still a rookie, no matter what his personal mood is, he should maintain a high degree of enthusiasm for his work, which is an iron rule that wage earners should abide by.

And Chris Webber was in a high mood because the Warriors were in better shape, and the commentary game became more passionate, "Draymond Green hit the Warriors' 18th three-pointer of the game!" ”

Mark Jackson said: "In this game, the two sides played a rare high score, which can be said to be a wonderful offensive battle, or it can be said to be a wonderful three-point shootout!" ”

The Warriors were originally a three-point team, like the Los Angeles Clippers' empty pick-up team and the Denver Nuggets' track and field team, which are very distinctive and unique in the league.

Therefore, it is actually normal for the Warriors to shoot more than a dozen three-pointers in a game. Curry alone has to shoot four or five three-pointers in a game.

And the Lakers are different.

Their three-point shooting ability is much worse than that of the Warriors, and only Yi Feng can ensure a stable three-point shooting rate. The rest, whether it's Clarkson, Louis Williams or Nick Young, have three-point ability, but they are not consistent.

And Kobe, the boss in the later years of his career, although the shooting percentage is extremely stable, this is a stability based on a large number of shots. It just so happened that this season he began to put the ball out, and if he felt good, he would shoot a few more, and if he didn't feel good, he wouldn't shoot. This has led to a very impressive shooting percentage in some games, and a ridiculously bad in some games.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant can be counted as half at most.

In tonight's game, Yi Feng continued to output three-point firepower steadily, Kobe Bryant also shot two or three shots, and Clarkson, Nick Young and others also shot three-point shots.

If only one side can shoot three-pointers, how can it be called a three-point shootout?

The Warriors played at their normal level of three-point shooting tonight, while the Lakers played at an overactive level.

Draymond Green hit another three-pointer to widen the margin and put the Lakers in jeopardy.

After Yi Feng experienced anxiety, even now, he can still maintain his composure. And what made him more stable in his heart was what he thought was an "illusion", which he still maintained.

Just now, under the bag between Curry and Iguodala, a large part of the reason for stumbling into that layup was also because of this "illusion".

Because Iguodala's movements seemed to be half a beat slower, he couldn't cut the ball off Yi Feng's hand.

Lakers offense.

After Clarkson brought the ball to the frontcourt, he gave it to Bryant.

Bryant took Clarkson's hand-to-hand pass, bypassed him, and cut inside.

This was the equivalent of a disguised cover, and Curry eventually switched to Kobe.

At this moment, Curry's heart is broken, why do any of you come to me when you attack?!

Recognize that I'm a bully, right?

Facing Curry, Kobe Bryant had no advantage in terms of speed and flexibility, so he did not break through. Instead, I chose to hit the back.

Bryant took a few back seats and found that Barnes had let go of Clarkson and came over to wrap him up.

Taking advantage of the moment when Barnes took the ball, Kobe Bryant jumped to pass the ball and threw the ball in the air to Clarkson, who was released.

Clarkson got the ball and went inside, but the Warriors were so fast that he didn't take two steps before he met a defender.

Seeing that the defender was Draymond Green, Clarkson gritted his teeth, ignored it, and continued to break through.

Draymond Green didn't dare to make a hard block head-on, otherwise it would be easy to blow for a foul.

He was very clever and kept squeezing Clarkson from the side, gradually pushing Clarkson out of the original breakthrough route.

By the time Clarkson found out about this, it was too late.

And he doesn't have a good passing vision and can't see where his teammates are. I had no choice but to make a strong layup.

He knew that with Draymond Green's defense, the layup would definitely be interfered with. So he wanted to make a foul. But Draymond Green saw through his intentions and dodged it.

In order to make a foul, Clarkson's layup action was also deformed, and the final layup was also very off.

There was a scramble under the basket, and Yi Feng actually took advantage of the chaos to win this offensive rebound. (To be continued.) )
