Chapter 1245: A Little Treasure of the Base Salary
"What kind of lineup is this? I've never seen them use it before. Thompson wondered.
"Who knows, it's probably the head coach who has convulsions, and you also know that when you're old, you're prone to having a bad brain." Green said nonchalantly, "Our coach is not very old, doesn't there be a time like this?" Don't worry, we'll just blow them up. "Well, that's right." Thompson agreed with Green's words, because no matter what the lineup is, it's okay to blow it up. Don't think too much about it.
Basketball is still a game of winning and losing.
If you win, you don't have to think about the reason.
And this season's Warriors, Thompson himself feels that it is difficult to beat.
The few games that were lost, except for the 1-point loss to the Lakers, the other two games were the Warriors' own hands, which were too bad, and many times even if they played too far, they couldn't lose. 3 losses are their confidence!
The Lakers' offense is still similar to just now, and now the Warriors don't have a big center to use, so try to hang the No. 29 on the inside to deal with it. It doesn't matter if you play or pass the ball. In this game, Tang Qian has already cut 40+, and the hit rate is still scary, and he has this kind of power to make full decisions.
The Lakers can't help it if they score, and now the Warriors' interior line really can't be suppressed, so they just need to make up for it offensively. The Warriors played a typical "five-small run." The ability of this lineup to open up space on the pass and cut is rare in history and too strong. In addition, the 5 people are all highly mobile masters, so as long as they cooperate with the tacit understanding and transmit the ball to the force, it will be difficult for people to defend. Plus 5 people can pass the ball to the organization, this is terrible.
The Warriors first made a high block, Curry broke through with the ball, and was successfully switched by the Lakers, Curry did not stick to the ball, and quickly passed it. In the hands of Thompson, who had cut through the air. Thompson used the team's Iguodala cover in the process, but the Lakers also completed the switch in an instant, so he didn't have a chance to shoot. Didn't the Lakers change their defenses much before? Most of them are going to take cover with the help of the team's players, retreating and catching up, which is the so-called "Under-One"?
Thompson's idea is not problematic, the Lakers have indeed defended most of the Warriors' pick-and-roll covers in the "Under-One" route. There are very few defensive changes, after all, the No. 4 position in the previous lineup is a defensive weakness, even if Bosh is still there, Larry. Brown agrees that the defense at this point is not very good. In a team like the Warriors, the slightest mistake is prone to problems, and the opponent catches and breaks. So it's not that you don't change defenses, but it's relatively better and simpler to take the "Under-One" defensive route. It's okay to deal with the Warriors' regular lineup, but it's not so easy to deal with the opponent's death five. Because the opponent's passing speed will become faster, as a result, "Under-One" will appear to be half a beat slower.
Why were most of the teams in the original plane beaten by the Warriors, and they didn't even have the strength to do it?
That's the problem. If you don't make substitutions, even if you use "Under-One" to the extreme, it will be difficult to have an effect. Look at the teams that have cornered the Warriors on the plane. The first team in the West was the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 15-16 season, and the playoffs against the Warriors, especially their Death Five, were the team's main response to the Billy Murphy. Donovan's big man lineup + reduced rotation + a lot of outside changes.
With this set, they pushed the 73-win team into a 1-3 deficit. Although it was overturned by the Jedi in the end, it also proved that at least this set was effective. It's just that the Thunder's defense is still too poor, and the overall defensive tacit understanding is not enough, and the defense that relies on the body is greater than the defense that relies on the mind and tactics. Coupled with a wave of "Buddha's light" on the opposite side, the game is over.
Let's look at the Warriors who have been upgraded to "Cosmic Brave" in the original time and space, how did they be forced into a seven-tie by the Houston Rockets in the second year? What to rely on? That's right, it's an infinite change of guard.
This is a set of stubborn defense that D'Antoni put out after getting Paul, but I didn't expect it to work wonders.
But he himself is not a master of adjusting the defensive system, and the overall is still more inclined to the offensive end, so his infinite change of defense is just a prototype. And not really mature. But even so, it is still a notch higher than the previous Thunder's outside version of the infinite change of defense. Entered the infinite change of defense of all employees. Now, the Los Angeles Lakers are in Larry. Under Brown's coaching, the defensive system started even earlier.
And as soon as it is shown, it is a very complete and advanced infinite change of defense.
The Warriors are the Warriors in the end, and the current 3 losses this season are not for nothing, and they will soon have the next move. Their player made a pick-and-roll cut near the horn position. No, Green has just entered the free throw line and immediately made the ball, this ball is very decisive, Green deserves to be a figure who has averaged 7+ assists per game this season. Inside, he deserves to be the number one.
The ball went to the Warriors' Barnes, and a small vacancy appeared next to Barnes, and he was ready to shoot, at this time, the Lakers' No. 4 position was just replaced by Covington, a supplementary defense, which was very fast, and the arm span was enough, so that Barnes hesitated for a moment and gave up the shot. Changed to a low pass. The Warriors are playing beautifully, and their passing has entered a very systematic virtuous circle, basically instinctively shooting the ball when there is no chance at the first time, looking for a second offensive opportunity.
Plus this...... At the moment, the league uses the best mobile pick-and-roll and illegal cover, and their ability to find follow-up opportunities is also extremely strong. Extremely strong.
Otherwise, in the absence of a super ball holder, can a team achieve this record? Isn't that?
It must have its own exclusive skills and exclusive secrets.
"The pass is beautiful, the ball Clay goes straight up, the opponent's center is pulled out, the ball is ...... Covered??? ”
That's right, this ball Thompson got a big hat in the back of his head. The man who covered him was, Robert. Covington.
Covington is 206CM tall and has an arm span of 218CM, and Tang Shen's height is only 201CM, and his arm span is only 206CM, so this ball is defenseless and coldly takes a big hat. However, there was still a doubt in Thompson's mind, wasn't he on Barnes's side just now? Why did you get behind yourself all of a sudden? When he returned to defense, he glanced at the big screen, and the doubts in Tang Shen's heart were solved. It turned out that Covington just delayed Barnes in the past, and then immediately chose to follow Thompson, so that the effect of "teleportation" just now appeared.
It is equivalent to one person having a defensive effect on two people.
This is just the beginning, when the Lakers scored another goal, the Warriors set up a position to quickly attack, this time also chose to attack the Lakers' No. 4 position, at least in their opinion, a base salary player, not worth mentioning. It must be the weakest point in the Lakers' current lineup. It's no wonder that Kerr and the Warriors are no wonder that Covington has such a good defensive talent! Including Tang Qian himself, he didn't expect this. He could only see the end of Covington's 14-15 season at that time, and at that time he was at most a good 3-and-D player, and the base salary signing was definitely earned. That's all.
Who knew that his defense would be so strong?
In Larry. Under Brown's guidance, progress has been spectacular!
The Warriors lost the ball again, and the Lakers' No. 4 position defended beyond everyone's imagination! Including Iguodala's personal cut bottom, he was almost blocked by the Lakers' No. 4 position. The skill of defense and the sense of smell of defense are both excellent. Andre Iguodala is a defensive stalwart himself, and he's seen something unusual at the No. 4 spot on the Lakers' base salary.
He, if it hadn't been for the accidental outburst tonight, this defense, the Lakers might have ......
The Lakers still had Tang Qian's low-post shot and was directly violated, hitting 1 of 2 free throws at the free throw line.
The Warriors still carried out the arrangement of Kerr just off the court, playing the opponent's No. 4 position more, and Larry. Brown is also very good, that is, deliberately let the team's No. 4 position be "exposed", and then meet the opponent's frontal attack.
Now, it's up to you to take your chances, and tonight's game can make you famous.
The Warriors flanked the "Z" run, changed 2 off-ball screens in the middle, and Green took the ball and shot directly! This goal, sure enough, is still aimed at the No. 4 position of the Lakers. It's a pity, it's still not hit! This makes many Warriors players feel a little unbelievable, this is just a base salary player, right? Can't you beat him up on your side?
Curry stole the Lakers' pass, directly singled the kill, collided with the Lakers' Covington, missed the shot, but the referee blew the whistle and made 2 free throws. This ball can be blown in slow motion, but this is the home court of the Warriors, and Curry is still a quasi-supergiant in the league, so it is normal to give a star whistle. Covington shook his head a little annoyed, he felt that this ball should be able to be prevented, but unfortunately he hesitated to react just now.
This moment of hesitation made him take advantage of Curry's loopholes.
Brushing ~2 free throws and 2 hits, the Warriors seem to have opened up a scoring drought, but in fact, this is just a short-term "return to the light". Because in their next round, they missed the attack again and were disturbed by Covington again, and this time, Kerr felt that something was wrong. He glanced at the Lakers' bench, as if he saw the old man with glasses smiling at him. This made him feel very bad, very bad.
Tang's offense caused a defensive foul on the Warriors, and the Warriors requested a timeout.
As soon as Kerr arrived, he immediately laid out the next team tactics and said: "Wait and play the line to block and dismantle continuously, stop insisting on attacking the opponent's No. 4 position, that No. 4 position is not as simple and easy to break as it seems." It doesn't matter, we just change the way we play. Just beat them with what we do best. Conduct more, cut more short, and run more, tear open the opponent's defense line and then shoot. Although some players on the Warriors were unwilling, Kerr's words were very authoritative in the team, and they all nodded in agreement.
Back on the court, Tang Qian missed 2 free throws, and the Warriors players restarted to attack with the ball.
After Iguodala and Curry blocked and dismantled, the former suddenly accelerated and hit the interior directly, but soon the Lakers' reinforcement came over, and Iguodala did not find the best opportunity to shoot. He quickly gave Thompson to the perimeter, and Thompson prepared a three-pointer, and the Lakers defense rotated, and Ariza posted it. Thompson took the opportunity to slip past the latter.
broke through, and then he only took a few steps when he found that another Lakers player appeared next to him. Thompson passes the ball to Green near the free throw line, and Green is about to make a shot, a purple and gold figure, and quickly arrives. Green wanted to break through the hard attack, but quickly chose to give up, because he had just squeezed in a step when he saw the Lakers' No. 29 almost arrive at his side.
It was really not a wise decision to make a move in front of the Lakers' No. 29. So he made a tactical gesture to get Barnes over and make a hand-to-hand pass with him, and he switched from holding the ball to covering the wall to help Barnes shake off his defenders. The Lakers' defense is very strong, and Barnes has not been particularly good against Ariza tonight. He needs that kind of team-mate.
What people didn't expect was that the Warriors were a ...... Fake gear quick release! Green's cover after completing the hand-to-hand is not real, but a preparation for his own speed.
Damn, go and help, help! Don't let him take it lightly!
Green was spotted with the ball, and after receiving the ball, he fell into the front and back of the Lakers' 2-man blockade. Tang Qian + Covington's arrival made Green almost miss the basket. After the Lakers caught the rebound, they still played the same way, which was to solve the problem for the low post inside. Tang Qian easily pressed and shot under the basket, "snapping brush~" to score on the board.
The Warriors' offensive end is a high-level blocking + breakthrough cut + sharing the weak side, this set of play is to make the Lakers' overall defense unstable, and there will be fluctuations from the strong side to the weak side of the defensive focus. At that time, the Warriors can rely on their sharp offense, seize opportunities, find flaws, and kill with one blow. However, they still couldn't score the goal. Because of the Lakers' defense, there were no major defensive fluctuations, and the transfer of the strong and weak sides of the defense was also completed smoothly, and there was no anxiety at all.
The Warriors could only shoot this ball from one person, but thanks to Tang Shen's strength, the basketball stumbled and threw it into the basket.
But this kind of scoring situation is obviously not what this Warriors team needs, they want to score in one go, not hard to score. That's something that only some of the "old die-hard factions" like to do. Cole's request was to speed up and push the ball to the limit.
He thought that this would shake the Lakers' defensive line, but he didn't know that it wasn't so smooth.
The Lakers' lineup is amazingly powerful, but well, this is just the beginning, just the beginning.
The Warriors' consternation is bound to continue.
