74. Upgrade during the game
Although the score did not fall behind, the Warriors led by two points at 12-10 and still had the ball, but they failed to play their rhythm, and the style of play that Smart liked to see centered on Sun Ce's ball quotient and two pitchers, an open cut player, and a solid blocking player failed to play! Instead, it was the Knicks who played their style.
With only 30 seconds to go into the timeout, Smart called the players back, replaced Toliver with Hunter, the big center, and told the players to slow down.
On Sun Ce's side, his attention was not on the coach's orders, and the changes that appeared on the system panel in front of him surprised and ecstatic!
"Due to the passing experience accumulated by the host in the official game, the host's passing ability has been fully demonstrated, and the passing ability of the host has been realized, and the passing evaluation has been improved from C+ to B-."
Sure enough, you can't just train!
The game is just as crucial!
The passing skills accumulated after months of frenzied training were finally fully displayed in the game.
Sun Ce was lucky, playing a summer league game with poor defensive discipline, which allowed him to quickly practice his passing in actual combat.
The 30-second timeout ended quickly, with Sun Ce joining Curry, Moreau, Randolph and Hunter who came off the bench.
Smart fielded the lineup he was most satisfied with in this Summer League.
There were no substitutions on the Knicks' side, and it was still Douglas, Rodriguez, Bill Walker, Gallinari, and Jordan Hill who came on the court.
Although Sun Ce didn't hear what the coach said clearly, he changed from a short center forward of 2.03 meters to a 2.11 meter Hunter to play a center, obviously wanting to slow down.
The Warriors played the ball in the frontcourt, Sun Ce didn't see the opponent's messy position and rushed to attack, and when Hunter was in a good position, others opened up space or got to a position where they could pose a threat to the basket, and handed the ball to Hunter, who was stuck in Jordan Hill.
The best way to slow down is to let the center single in the low post.
Hunter receives the ball in the low post on the right and turns left to make a basket......
Hit!
Jordan Hill's jumping center can't defend the low post!
Hunter's fundamentals are really good, unlike the average black insider.
But Hunter's problem is that he is too different from a black insider, his physical fitness is very average, and he can even be said to be poor, he has enough tonnage, strong card position, and good skills but not enough for him to perform in NBA-level confrontations, and he can only score so easily when he meets Jordan Hill.
After Hunter scored, Curry, Morrow, and Randolph all tried hard to stick to their defenders who wanted to counterattack, and Hunter also tried hard to run back after the goal.
Sun Ce was distracted in the tactical arrangement, but he was defending the opponent's point guard, so there was no problem.
The Warriors have shown good teamwork! This made Smart very satisfied.
Most coaches like to coach disciplined teams, and college teams are very popular, and good discipline is one of the reasons.
In the chaotic battle of attack, one side suddenly becomes disciplined, and the other side seems very uncomfortable.
The Knicks' style of play can barely be regarded as a run-and-bomb, but it is not the same concept as the real run-and-bomb, and it should be regarded as a chaotic team, not a run-and-bomb team.
Nash's run-and-bomb brigade can attack quickly even if it falls into positional warfare, but Douglas obviously can't, and when he falls into positional warfare, he can only burst with his head suffocated.
Sun Ce couldn't stop Douglas's breakthrough, but he tried his best to catch up, whether it was "accumulation and eggs" or not, just work hard.
Douglas burst into the interior line, with Hunter in front and Sun Ce in the back, Douglas had poor vision and poor passing ability, so he chose to force his shot......
Miss!
Randolph retracts and grabs the defensive rebound!
Sun Ce received Randolph's pass, he was not in a hurry, he could see that the opponent was very unsuitable for slow-paced attacks!
Smart's arrangement is to slow down, press the tempo, and drop the position, Sun Ce slowed down the speed of advancement without any sense of disobedience, and the speed of the Warriors completely slowed down.
After advancing to the frontcourt, Sun Ce used Randolph's block to give Curry, and Curry missed a three-point shot......
The Knicks hit back again, and Gallinari scored two points on a cut dunk that received the ball in the frontcourt.
The completely different results of the two rounds made Sun Ce understand that in addition to slowing down and suppressing the rhythm, the success rate of the attack is also very important!
Sun Ce felt that the ball just now was too anxious, and he and Curry were too anxious to open the score.
And he felt that as long as he reduced his speed, the opponent would not be able to do it, but he ignored that the opponent was also looking for an opportunity to counterattack at any time.
After adjusting their mentality, the Warriors played more patiently.
However, as the game progressed, the Warriors found that even if the speed was slowed down, the opponent was not so easy to deal with.
The first is to deal with the success rate of the Warriors, who have been looking for counter-attack opportunities and are bound to work the Warriors' side.
The second is that when the Knicks slowly adjusted, Gallinari's singles were very inexplicable, and no one on the Warriors' side could defend them.
Small forward Morrow defends Gallinari and does not have enough body, and power forward Randolph does not have enough speed to defend Gallinari.
The last game against the Timberwolves didn't count, but Sun Ce didn't play much in that game, and the opponent's lineup was deformed.
The difficult game against the Bucks is very different from the difficult game against the Knicks now, which is very difficult for Sun Ce.
Two teams with completely different styles gave Sun Ce and his teammates a lot of challenges.
Fortunately, it was the Warriors who made adjustments first and took some of the initiative.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Knicks by five points at 27-22 and went into the break.
……
Sometimes, a player has a very different effect against different opponents, such as Watson, which is very useful today, and in the second quarter of the rotation stage, Watson went up without scaring Douglas at all, and played very hard!
Perhaps in order to compete for the status of the team, Watson fought harder than the last game, although the style of play has not changed, but in the confrontation with the physical strength of Douglas, the opponent has no defense, and the all-round Watson has not fallen behind!
Smart, who was so cold that he didn't dislike Watson, didn't completely dismiss Watson because Curry didn't like Watson, and the fact that Watson's ability to fight has improved a little compared to last season Smart has recorded.
This time, Sun Ce also felt that Watson was doing a good job, because of Watson, Cobe Carr, Devin George, Toliver, and Mickey Moore of the second team played well when they played with Watson and withstood the counterattack of the Knicks led by Douglas.
In the seventh minute of the second quarter, Smart called the second timeout of the first half and the last timeout of the first half, and he would not have been kept until the second half anyway.
It is necessary to establish some advantages before the end of the half, and it is possible to withstand the Knicks' ferocious offense in the second half!
Sun Ce and Curry were called by name again, and it was up to them.
Sun Ce looked at the score of 49-48, although he still maintained a one-point lead, but the pressure was still very high!
Gallinari, the sophomore player opposite, is also taking off his training clothes!
