1532.The Warriors' Star Tactics (Part 3)
David Lee hit a turnaround hook shot from Larry Sanders to help the Warriors maintain scoring continuity.
Although Sun Ce slandered Mark Jackson once when he played the Warriors this year, he didn't think Mark Jackson was incapable, except for being rigid and not bold enough, Mark Jackson was undoubtedly a very good coach.
It can take the Warriors from a situation where there are almost no other advantages except for the attitude of playing hard, and in just two years, polish the Warriors' defensive discipline and team cooperation awareness on the offensive end, this is the ability!
Even now, the Warriors don't defend well, conceding an average of 104 points per game, and it's only because of the roster structure, and every one of their players, including David Lee, works the defensive end.
Now with Curry and David Lee as the offensive core, after Curry pinned Sun Ce on the outside, David Lee got a great single opportunity on the inside.
Fortunately, their Grizzlies side of the offensive lineup is strong, Sun Ce broke through the pass to Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian to score Paul George, Paul George passed again, Sun Ce, who cut to the inside, received the ball, and before Draymond Green retracted, Sun Ce jumped and put the basket to score two points.
David Lee's defense is indeed amazing, standing under the basket, he just holds the position to protect the rebound, and he has no awareness of reaching out to interfere.
It's not that David Lee doesn't bother to stretch his hand, it's that he often reaches out to interfere with the foul because he doesn't have a sense of defense, and the coach doesn't let him reach out, which can prove how bad David Lee's defense is.
When it came to the Warriors' offense, Sun Ce tried to switch defenses with Paul George, Paul George went to defend Curry, and Sun Ce followed Harris Barnes here, ready to let go of the shrinking and pinching.
As a result, Curry borrowed a three-point threat, used the strong ball sense to pass Paul George, broke through from the other side, met Larry Sanders to make up for the defense, raised the ball and took a step, and scored two points with a stable throw under the confrontation of Larry Sanders.
Curry's layup, it's comfortable to watch, it's true that Curry has few points under the basket, and his average close-range sports points per game are only 1.8 points per game this season, and sometimes you can't see a basket goal in a game, but it doesn't mean that he is not powerful, and he is extremely stable!
17 minutes!
Curry scored six goals tonight, five of them three-pointers, and before he even made free throws, he had already scored 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting!
Sun Ce held his temper and prepared to fight slowly, not in a hurry, the more anxious he was, the easier it was to be used by the other party.
On the offensive end, Sun Ce should play how to play, and on the defensive end, he didn't want to play tricks, so he defended Curry, Paul George defended Harris Barnes, and let Paul George help defend David Lee.
After Curry's three-point shot, he played more and more easily, his organizational skills are not bad, and he has defensive containment on the inside, which will contain Sun Ce, the opponent's defensive connection point, and Draymond Green is responsible for the second set, Curry has sorted out the Warriors' offense very well.
The Warriors' offensive success rate is high, Sun Ce is not in a hurry, he has been waiting for an opportunity, since he has no chance to make up for the defense, the defensive end can only rely on his teammates, Sun Ce will not care about anything else on the defensive end, and will not let Curry shoot three points!
Finally, at 5 minutes and 38 seconds in the second quarter, Harris Barnes went around the top arc to receive a pass from David Lee to Draymond Green, and Draymond Green missed the two-pass three-point shot, the ball bounced far away, Sun Ce pounced outside the free throw line and took a step to receive the ball and counterattacked!
Rushing outside the opponent's three-point line, Sun Ce stepped into the three-point line with his right foot, Harris Barnes continued to retreat, Sun Ce began to slow down when he was close to the three-point line, retracted his foot, and chased down the three-point shot......
54-50, the Grizzlies once again extended their lead to 4 points, and Sun Ce's personal score also increased to 20 points!
But immediately, in retrospect, Curry hit a mid-range pull-up jump shot through a block with Draymond Green, and also caused Yi Jianlian to foul.
Sun Ce just surpassed Curry's 19 points, and Curry immediately increased his score to 21 points, and there was also a free throw!
At 6:07 in the second quarter, the referee blew the whistle for an official timeout after the referee blew the whistle to confirm that Curry's goal was valid and that he would need to add a free throw.
Sun Ce returned to the bench and drank vigorously with Gatorade.
Even if their Grizzlies team lacks a major general, with only 11 players in rotation, Gortat only has 10 players in rotation most of the time due to strength issues.
But in terms of cooperation, their side is much stronger than the Warriors' side.
But the Warriors were stunned to bite the score!
Purely by the stars!
Sun Ce watched his desperate 20 points, 4 boards, 5 assists, 1 block and 1 steal; Curry, on his side, played less than 13 minutes and scored 21 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
Really couldn't restrain Curry, who felt hot, Sun Ce didn't let the opponent shoot three points at most, but because of this, Curry scored three two-pointers in the first half of the second quarter when he only scored three points at the beginning.
Sun Ce is playing numb now, and if you want to say how high Curry's score is, compared to those stars who have scored points, it is really not that high.
But both teams scored so high that it exploded!
It was only 18 minutes and 07 seconds after playing, and both teams scored more than 50!
Sun Ce didn't feel uncomfortable, he played very well!
Who doesn't love such a competition?
The fans were excited to watch, and so were the players.
But thinking about how to prevent the opposing individual score and team score is a headache for him.
Also, the problem of insufficient rotation manpower is now starting to show, Larry Sanders and Yi Jianlian have been playing for a long time, and now they have to go down to rest.
Coach Hollins fielded a big four small combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Hardaway Jr., Richard Jefferson, and Gasol Jr.
……
After the timeout, Sun Ce saw that the opponent made another substitution, and the lineup of Curry, Harden, Iguodala, Speights, and Tabit came on.
With Curriga hitting a free throw to narrow the gap to 1 point, Sun Ce knows that now the difficult time is coming!
Harden and Iguodala returned, David Lee rested, and was replaced by role player Speights, and he is a role player who can fit into the mix, can block and pick, can shoot, can cut and even pass...... You know, in '08, the year that was then known as the big year of the draft, Speights was selected in the middle of the first round, and the prediction template for him in his scouting report at that time was - the more mobile Al Jefferson!
Although he didn't play, Spatz was a pretty good jack-of-all-trades player.
Curry is threatening, Harden is strong singles, and Iguodala is in command......
Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Gasol Jr. worked hard to lead the team to play one big and four small outside changes, and tried to play together on the offensive end.
At halftime, the Grizzlies led by two points 68-66 and went into halftime!
