1637. Berserk Section 3! (5000 words for subscription)
After the start of the third quarter, the Warriors attacked first, Iguodala led 3-2 and was nailed again tonight, the second three-point shot in the game missed, looking back, the Warriors were preparing to prevent the Grizzlies from shooting around the outside of the Splash Brothers, when the Grizzlies counterattacked, the Warriors have been paying attention to Klay Thompson, because it was Sun Ce who was holding the ball.
Generally speaking, like in the previous games, Sun Ce grabbed the defensive rebound and counterattacked, and the Warriors could only block Sun Ce here with a group of people, because Sun Ce grabbed the rebound and counterattacked too quickly, faster than when they played in the regular season, and the starting speed reached the top level, and the league's recognized counterattack started fastest Corey Brewer also had Sun Ce's speed.
However, although Sun Ce still started fast this time, Harrison Barnes and Iguodala were able to keep up, so the Warriors had a chance to block Amir Johnson's follow-up and Klay Thompson's three-pointers, deliberately leaving Prince and Livingston's shooting opportunities to let Sun Ce share the ball with these two teammates who were not so good at scoring.
But Sun Ce directly stood up to Iguodala and Harrison Barnes in front of him!
Iguodala had a three-point chance on this offense, and the Warriors felt something was wrong, but they couldn't tell.
It was time for the Warriors to attack again, and they noticed that on the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce was guarding from close range to defend Draymond Green, Amir Johnson was guarding against O'Neal Jr., Livingston was defending against Iguodala, Klay Thompson was following Harrison Barnes, and Prince was defending against Harden......
I saw that Draymond Green was not as good as Sun Cegao before, and the two didn't have much sense of disobedience when they stood together, but now the Warriors found out that Sun Ce's defense went inside!
Harden received a pass from Iguodala and hit Prince, and he had a headache when he saw the veteran Harden, the veteran couldn't defend against counterattacks, but the positional battle defense was too unfriendly to technical flow players, although the acceleration sprint was not good, but the lateral movement was enough, the positional battle was just right, although the arm span was not as long as Sun Ce, it was only two centimeters shorter, the key is that his single defense ability is much stronger than Sun Ce! In terms of defensive skills alone, except for Tony Allen, no one on the outside of the Grizzlies can compare to Prince.
The Grizzlies just tried it, but they didn't expect the effect to be okay, and Harden had to find a three-point opportunity to play on the outside, so he could only break through.
There is no way for Harden to break through Prince, the weight gap is relatively large, and he is ten centimeters taller than Harden, so he can't be stopped, but why is Harden unwilling to break through?
Prince couldn't stand it, but he could stick to Harden and let Harden go off the line, Harden suddenly didn't get into the basket at close range, and he was still covered by Sun Ce's expansion!
Sun Ce's single defense is not enough to see Harden, but the assistant defense is definitely the top in the league!
Sandwiched by a pair of gibbons of almost the same size, Harden's passing opportunities were gone, and he made a strong step-back jumper...... was slapped down by Sun Ce!
Fortunately, Draymond Green looped around Sun Ce in time, grabbed the ball behind Harden's back, retreated to the bottom left corner, and made a three-point shot...... Entered!
Sun Ce turned around and picked up the ball that fell from the basket, Draymond Green, although Sun Ce hates him, but for the strength of this guy, Sun Ce will not deny that he did play an important role in the Warriors' triple crown in the original time and space.
As long as he has Curry and Thompson by his side, the fake splash brothers, Draymond Green is still very good.
Now Draymond Green has begun to show his ability, in addition to his strong ability to switch defenses, the awareness of the occasional opportunity to split the ball has also begun to show, and there is this three-point hand, after all, he is the master who can score 8 three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs.
However, just as the Warriors had to free up some of the Grizzlies' players, they had to defend the Warriors and could only free up Draymond Green's mid-range shots.
Defensive tactics, and gambling is a truth.
However, this one shot is not a big problem, their Grizzlies are still leading 63-60, and the next game is the most important thing to play the tactics they want!
Just a try, Sun Ce obviously felt that it was very different from the feeling that the match was twenty percent lower than the last time, and the athletic ability was maintained better, if you count the enhanced bounce and explosiveness, in terms of athleticism alone, it is almost the same as not using a shark card, if you count the strength, confrontation, and straight up and down bounce under the confrontation, the physical fitness can be said to be a leap!
After Sun Ce sent the ball to Livingston, he came directly to the front court and fell low, and it was still Iguodala who defended him, Sun Ce was supposed to weigh more, and Iguodala couldn't push Sun Ce and felt normal, but Iguodala felt abrupt and felt that something was going to happen!
Sure enough, Iguodala received the ball and saw Sun Ce leaning up, blocking it with all his might, but he didn't block it! was knocked into the three-second zone by Sun Ce in one step!
Sun Ce turned and hooked his hand at the half-step inside the right side of the three-second zone before O'Neal Jr.'s help was in place...... Iguodala tried very hard to restrain Sun Ce from turning around, but he didn't, he was like a little girl in the cave room and was pushed open at once, and Sun Ce's easy little hook hit!
For Iguodala, it was a sad defense, but for Sun Ce, apart from scoring two points, this hook made him feel very different! He temporarily has O'Neal's muscle memory and playing style "memory" of low-post small hooks, and it obviously feels different from the last time he used O'Neill's card, not how much difference O'Neal's 99-00 season and 00-01 season's hooks are, but his own hooks are stronger, "Little Sky Hook" proficiency level 4, compared to the original only level 1, the experience of O'Neal's small hook is very different!
Sun Ce scored four points in a row, and the Grizzlies took a five-point lead, and the Warriors were not in a hurry for the time being, and came back to play a positional battle offense, and Harrison Barnes scored two points on Iguodala's baseline shot.
It's time for the Grizzlies to attack again, Sun Ce continued to play in the low post, the Warriors' defensive changes came faster than Sun Ce imagined, very decisive, Sun Ce fell to the low post, and Harrison Barnes directly hit it!
Sun Ce distributed the ball to Livingston in the middle distance, Harden did not go to make up the defense, but followed Klay Thompson to death, encountered Prince's blocking, Draymond Green and Harden quickly changed defenses, Livingston received the ball without hesitation, saw no passing opportunity, and shot a jumper on the left side of the free throw line...... Also enter!
This is crucial!
Sun Ce, Livingston, Klay Thompson, the triangular connection of the three, is the most important!
Livingston came up and threw in a mid-range shot, giving the Grizzlies a shot in the arm, and when Paul George and Yi Jianlian need to rest, it is very important to have a stable mid-range shot!
In the first 5 games, Livingston only got 15 minutes of playing time combined, because the Grizzlies' outside trio played a long time, they had to shoot and defend, with Beverley, Livingston had no three, and with stronger defense with Tony Allen, Livingston didn't defend well.
So with Livingston, Coach Hollins has some worries, however, Livingston has a huge heart! I was quick to make a judgment when I received the ball, and I felt good and threw it in.
The Grizzlies' offensive style of play changed abruptly, which made the Warriors uncomfortable.
There is one point that they can't solve, that is, they can't go directly to O'Neal Jr. to pinch the attack, because Sun Ce has a height advantage over Iguodala and can clearly see the situation behind it, although Amir Johnson sent by the Grizzlies is not well-known among the fans, but he is a very respectable player among the players, a player full of passion and a strong fighting spirit, and he is very strong in blocking and cutting and impacting the basket.
Originally, the Warriors thought that the Grizzlies would focus on the pick-and-roll offense of Sun Ce and Amir Johnson, after all, there was a large and four small lineup.
But Sun Ce went to the low post, Iguodala couldn't defend it, and he couldn't use Draymond Green to defend it, Sun Ce couldn't pull it out to shoot Draymond Green, and they didn't know that Sun Ce would definitely not pull it out and shoot.
But in this case, instead of doing their best to make the ball for Klay Thompson, Livingston shot from mid-range......
Fortunately, the Warriors are currently in a stable state of mind, and before Curry rests and plays, Harden plays hard to score and organize the offense, and Iguodala is responsible for the transfer of the second setter, and their offense can keep up, and both offenses maintain a good level.
However, while fighting, the Warriors found that something was wrong, and the Grizzlies did not focus on Klay Thompson, but used two axes to find opportunities for Klay Thompson, looking for the best opportunity!
When Livingston made a 2-of-3 shot, the Warriors couldn't keep watching him receive Sun Ce's pass and shoot, no matter who was used to defend Livingston's shot, the person who made up the defense was originally defended and pulled out to block Klay Thompson!
Sun Ce can watch the top arc area in the low post, and Livingston keeps an eye on the sidelines on both sides, and passes the ball as soon as Klay Thompson has the chance.
And Klay Thompson seized the opportunity and continued the hot touch!
After 5 minutes in the third quarter, Klay Thompson made 3 three-pointers and scored two, and the score increased to 24 points!
During this period, Sun Ce scored 6 points, Livingston scored 4 points, and Aamir Johnson rushed to the basket to catch the ball and fouled the Grizzlies when the opponent's attention was all on the Grizzlies' triangle combination, and the Grizzlies scored 18 points in exactly 5 minutes! Played a wave of 18 to 13!
Seeing that the Grizzlies stretched the gap to 9 points 79-70, the Warriors seized the time to enter the official timeout and called a timeout!
After watching the small half of the quarter, Mark Jackson realized that the Grizzlies actually played a triangle offense!
Mark Jackson looked at the three cores on the opposite side of the small half quarter, the low post axis, mid-range shooting + point sharing, and a stable three-point shot from the outside...... And it's not the Bulls' kind of triangle offense, it's not even the triangle offense of the Koga combination, it's the fucking triangle offense of the OK period!
Bankrupt version of Kobe Bryant - Livingston.
Poor man's version of O'Neill? Mark Jackson simply couldn't have connected the two together.
And then there's the Deluxe Edition of Fisher – Klay Thompson!
This tactic, there is no so-called role in improving team cooperation, there is no at all, to play this tactic, it is purely dependent on individual ability, the effect of this tactic is to give full play to the individual ability of the triangle combination of the triangle attack.
This tactic is a very strange tactic in the eyes of many head coaches and even many team management, and most teams are reluctant to play because they rely too much on individual ability, but the Grizzlies actually played!
Use Klay Thompson's containment to help Sun Ce create low-post singles opportunities, use Sun Ce's low-post singles to create opportunities for Livingston, and then use Sun Ce and Livingston's threats to create opportunities for Klay Thompson in turn.
All three points are based on individual ability to throw the ball in!
Mark Jackson can also be regarded as a master tactician, but it took a long time to see that this was a triangle offense, completely because he couldn't imagine that the Grizzlies would suddenly play a triangle offense.
The main thing is Sun Ce's point, Iguodala is a miserable, Sun Ce receives the ball, whether it is a pass or a shot, anyway, hit it first, sometimes there is no need to bump it at all, I see Harden or Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green sandwich up, Sun Ce is stunned to hit the ball first and then divide the ball...... Iguodala feels like this guy is just going to hit him and hit him!
One dunk at a time, one time to turn and hook hands, one time O'Neal Jr. went to Livingston to pass back to Sun Ce, Sun Ce directly knocked Iguodala into the basket with one hand.
In addition to these factors, the reason why the Warriors couldn't react to why they were hit by the other side is that the triangle offense is implemented to the details, which is too ordinary!
What the Warriors felt was Sun Ce's one counterattack, two low-post scores, Livingston's two open shots, and Klay Thompson's two three-pointers.
Gone!
There are no bells and whistles, just a few simple shots, and Prince should be left with iron and iron, and Aamir Johnson should miss the layup.
However, the shots of the three main scorers were mostly grasped!
This is based on the unstoppable power of the outside that Sun Ce has temporarily, Klay Thompson's hot hand tonight, and the big heart of Livingston with his mid-range shot!
……
When the timeout came back, the Warriors really didn't expect the point difference to be opened up like this, and they were surprised by the Grizzlies' triangle offense during the pause, but after calming down, they found that the defense of this lineup was so strong, Sun Ce's defense had a block, and the vertical jump block that switched to O'Neal Jr. under the basket was amazing! In addition, Harden scored most of the points in the past 5 minutes from mid-to-long range, and only once burst to the basket and caused a foul and hit both free throws.
They found that they couldn't play under the basket!
Otherwise, with the strength of the lineup of the two teams just now, theoretically speaking, even if the Grizzlies broke out very suddenly, the Grizzlies, who have no real big man inside combination, can't prevent their interior attack.
But the Grizzlies just guarded it! Previously, because of the absence of Gasol Jr., Larry Sanders and Randolph's interior combination on the opposite side, Sun Ce's defensive role declined, and their Warriors' invincible cut play style was not played, because Sun Ce's frame protection did not come out!
The embodiment of the ability to protect the frame is the most inconspicuous performance.
The Grizzlies have been at a disadvantage on the defensive end of this series because they don't have the top rim-protecting center like the Warriors' Thabit!
The Warriors brought on Curry, the strongest trio on the perimeter, and Thabit also came on the court, partnering Draymond Green on the inside.
On the Grizzlies' side, Coach Hollins was worried about the problem of protecting the frame when he replaced Sun Ce and Amir Johnson on the inside at the beginning of the second half, so he paid more attention to this than the other party, and he was the first to find Sun Ce's strength in protecting the frame, which was a surprise!
Coach Hollins decisively replaced the combination of Sun Ce, Beverley, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian.
Now, Coach Hollins has created better catch-and-shoot opportunities for Klay Thompson, who has already made seven three-pointers tonight, on Sun Ce's low post singles and rim protection, Paul George's mid-range shot, Yi Jianlian's ability to open up space, and Yi Jianlian's stronger cutting ability than Amir Johnson.
In turn, it is also creating better scoring opportunities for Sun Ce and Paul George!
After the official timeout, the Grizzlies' side of the offense blew up!
There are no fancy routines, if you don't wrap Sun Ce, Sun Ce will directly chisel Iguodala hook hand, wrap the clip, and Sun Ce will pass to Paul George or Beverley, both of whom have the ability to share the ball, Beverley no longer has the ability to organize but is a point guard, and the ball is very stable.
It seems that Sun Ce is the most ferocious, but the most critical part of this tactic is the main pitcher, and this pitcher is Klay Thompson.
But tonight, Klay Thompson blew up with a three-pointer!
Seven minutes later in the third quarter, Klay Thompson made 3 of 4 three-pointers!
He scored too many three points at this point, which made the Warriors' side of the defense exhausted, and the Warriors even used Thabit to top Sun Ce after Sun Ce went to the basket after a timeout, Sun Ce really didn't shoot to the outside, but first controlled the ball and retreated to the middle distance and rushed in to dunk directly through Thabit to make it 2+1, static confrontation against Sun Ce is not as good as 125 kg Thabit, but rushing up, Tabitra can't pull it down!
However, the key to the Grizzlies' victory was that Sun Ce gave Tabit a big hat and interfered with the Warriors' cut-in offense several times.
found that Sun Ce's frame protection broke out, and Coach Hollins firmly blocked Curry's three-point play on the outside, preferring to let the opponent cut in, and then, Sun Ce did it!
In this section, Coach Hollins misses Gasol Jr. so much, when there is a center with a good frame, their suppression of the Warriors' offense is too obvious! It's not at all like the back garden of the previous inside line adults' homes.
On the offensive end, Klay Thompson shot 10 of 15 three-pointers in the third quarter, and on the defensive end, Sun Ce had 3 blocks and 7 defensive rebounds in a single quarter in the third quarter, and 5 of Klay Thompson's 10 three-pointers were made in the third quarter, plus two long two-point points and a three-point shot that was fouled and 3 of 3 free throws, Klay Thompson scored 22 points in a single quarter!
Under Klay Thompson's irascible 22-point performance in a single quarter, the Grizzlies' whole team offense was opened, and the Grizzlies scored 40 points in a single quarter, plus Sun Ce's frame protection, the Grizzlies played a wave of 40-26!
