1518.The Heartless and vexatious Schoolboy (Part 5)
If you really want to win, you can only rely on the stars to play!
But tonight, the Warriors didn't play as well as the Grizzlies!
Sun Ce worked hard after the start of the game, and the pressure to compete for MVP suddenly increased, and he couldn't fight if he didn't fight!
Also, he and Klay Thompson are in good shape, Paul George got 3 assists in the first half of the quarter, gave Sun Ce and Klay Thompson a three-point assist, Sun Ce also had a reverse run to cut into the bottom line and a layup behind Tabit was scored by Paul George's pass.
On the Warriors' side, the new style of play they tried today was pitted.
The Warriors' tactical changes, summed up, are that there is a block and a pick-and-roll on the outside, a low-post single ball on the inside with David Lee as the axis under the basket, and Iguodala's setter style of play.
David Lee is still good at the moment, he can still have the ability to average per game, although he doesn't defend, he is very strong in scoring, and he is very good at the offensive end and back to the basket.
But David Lee is 30 years old, and the decline in athleticism is quite severe! The most obvious manifestation is rebounding, David Lee still averaged 11 boards per game last season, and this season has just begun, averaging 9 boards per game.
As a result, his passing is always a beat slower, not because of his slow passing speed, but because of his weakened ability to move to a better passing position.
And the Grizzlies, for their part, seized on that and forced David Lee to go more individually.
With the Grizzlies' current one-fat four-fast lineup, it's doing very well because the Warriors also have a center who doesn't move very quickly.
Defensively, the Warriors didn't have a problem no matter how they adjusted.
Sun Ce knows why the Warriors can concede 105 points per game in the first seven games of the new season.
As a player, some things are really unpredictable, and athleticism collapses.
Sun Ce remembered that in the original time and space, Steve Kerr was sprayed at the beginning of the 14-15 season, because David Lee, who had almost averaged data per game last year, was abandoned immediately after he became the head coach, a player with the highest salary in the team played as a substitute, but the coach didn't want to use him, and when he played so well last season, he didn't need to say that he didn't need it, and even the basic number of appearances could not be guaranteed.
As a fan, sometimes you don't pay attention to so many details, and fans pay attention to David Lee in the 13-14 season, and he changed coaches for an average of 5 seasons without David Lee.
Now as a player, Sun Ce plays against him and feels this problem very clearly.
Sun Ce estimated that the Warriors also learned about David Lee's problems, but Mark Jackson did not have the courage to abandon David Lee, because David Lee's contract expired in the 15-16 season, and the 6-year contract of more than 80 million yuan was signed before the collective bargaining agreement shortened the contract period.
Sun Ce has been playing for so long, and he knows one thing very well, that is, there are things that really can't be adjusted, for example, on their side, the combination of Randolph and Big Gasol is slow, that is, there is really no way, so they can only be used separately.
If you can't make up your mind, you have to suffer the consequences.
In the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by 9 points!
This is still on the Grizzlies' side in the second half of the first quarter, the combination of Larry Sanders and Randolph was replaced by the combination of Yi Jianlian and Gasol Jr., and the Warriors scored 12 points in the second half of the quarter to not let the Grizzlies continue to open the difference.
played an advantage, and in the second quarter, the Grizzlies sent a defensive lineup, with Beverley, Tony Allen, Paul George, Prince, and Gasol Jr. going up to play.
This lineup is to stabilize the advantage, and the way is not to score, but to defend to the death and consume the opponent!
On the Warriors' side, Curry, Iguodala, Barnes, Draymond Green, and O'Neal Jr. went up to meet the torture.
Sun Ce sat on the bench and watched Curry being chased and bitten by Beverley on the opposite side, scoring with difficulty, and the style of play with Iguodala as the tactical core did not work, so he rested at ease.
At this time, Klay Thompson, who was next to Sun Ce, asked suspiciously: "Noah, why did you say that the Warriors still piled up such slow centers last summer?" Hearing that the Celtics wanted to trade Garnett for David Lee, the Warriors refused. ”
Klay's younger brother can see it, and Sun Ce also wonders that a center with average athletic ability on the Warriors' interior Thabit is enough, and it is enough for him to protect the basket for more than 20 minutes in positional warfare, just like Chandler in the 10-11 season.
If we keep this level at this level, it is not a good thing in this day and age.
After thinking about it, Sun Ce replied: "The Celtics want draft picks, or several draft picks, and the management of the Warriors has a personal talent and knows how important the first-round pick is, so they will definitely not agree." ”
"Human essence? You mean Jerry West? ”
"Yes, if they had a Garnett, the whole team would be able to live, but the Celtics are asking for too much......
……
There was not much suspense in this game, and the scoring was purely based on the individual scores of Curry, Harden, and David Lee, and it was almost impossible to match.
The strongest lineup on paper, the inner line is blocked, the outside line can't break through, and there is no way to connect, so you can only rely on singles and feel good.
But the Kuha duo didn't have the same hot touch as the opener tonight.
Instead, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Paul George slipped into the air!
Sun Ce made 4-of-9 three-pointers, Klay Thompson made 3-of-6 three-pointers, plus Paul George and Beverley each scored a three-pointer, and after the game, the Grizzlies made 9 three-pointers and sold only 20 times, more than the Warriors' 27-of-27 three-pointers, and the Warriors made 8-of-27 three-pointers tonight!
The Warriors' strongest arsenal didn't play well, they couldn't play with pass-and-cut coordination, and they only relied on individual scoring to win the Grizzlies, who are on the rise after Larry Sanders' return.
In the end, Sun Cezhong, 4 of his goals were three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, 6 assists and 3 blocks, helping the Grizzlies win three consecutive victories against the Warriors!
In this wave of home advantage, the Grizzlies sat firmly and improved their record to 5 wins and 2 losses!
The Warriors, on the other hand, started with 4 wins and 4 losses.
Curry scored 20 points on 7-of-21 shooting tonight, and walked straight away at the end of the game.
Sun Ce watched Harden, who scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 8-of-18 shooting, and ran to hug him after the game, feeling that his younger brother was ruthless and unreasonable.
However, in this game, winning is winning, but Sun Ce found a very strange place.
It's that the Warriors' defensive discipline and enthusiasm are very good, that is, the coaching staff is very strict, but there are problems with the lineup.
Draymond Green's defense is getting better and better, reaching the first-class edge level of the A-class, but opposing head coach Mark Jackson is stunned not to use the combination of Draymond Green and David Lee, and has to get the two best interior players together.
Sun Ce also wondered if Mark Jackson would also try a centerless lineup, but it would be really rigid in some aspects.
