Chapter 1192 Rhythm competition, offensive and defensive collision
Ariza's free throw didn't go in, and the Warriors called a timeout immediately after getting the rebound. This period was beaten a little badly, and the score difference has been completely closed, and Kerr is about to step up and call a timeout. If you don't scream anymore, you are really afraid that the other party will be as fierce as a tiger in one breath and completely overturn its warrior team.
And there is one point where the biggest problem is the rhythm.
The Warriors have not been in control since the end of the second quarter, and they have completely fallen into the rhythm of the Lakers. That's not a good thing for teams with the same pace of play, let alone two teams with completely different styles? The rest is secondary, and as a manager, what you look at should be this overall direction. When the general direction is stable, it is possible to win.
After all, Kerr has to admit that this Lakers team is the strongest challenger he has ever faced this season, and this kind of team is the real challenge and alchemy. It's too easy to play, and it's not entirely good for the Warriors. Human beings are animals that always need to be a little tighter, and the so-called one sheet and one relaxation are really reasonable.
It's not okay if it's too loose, it's not okay if it's too tight.
Kerr actually did not exclude the situation of this battle, he even felt that the Warriors were playing too smoothly in front of them, and they needed a game of such a tenacious opponent to sharpen and sharpen it, and reawaken the whole team's somewhat careless mind and put it on the clockwork.
"Tempo~Tempo~~~" Cole didn't say anything else at once, and directly opened the matter, and said: "Our rhythm is too bad, what do you think?" Guys? "The Warriors can only bow their heads and admit that they are all professional players, or professional players of strong teams, and it is impossible not to know what this means. Their part, exactly what Cole said, "Tempo" is out of control. The Warriors were just suppressed by the Lakers in the process of competing for rhythm. It's a very bad situation in such a strong match, unless there are really players who play extraordinarily, otherwise, it is too difficult and too difficult to win when the rhythm is suppressed. And Kerr knows very well what kind of problem this Warriors has.
So "Tenpo", the rhythm, had to be fought over again.
With the rhythm of the game, let's talk about the rest.
How? Of course, ordinary people are confused, they can only be confused, and they don't know what to say. However, this can be discussed in detail for NBA head coaches.
Hurry up! How to play fast? They all know that if they want to play fast, the Lakers will definitely not let them be satisfied. So what to do? The rhythm is also related to the habit of playing. Offensive habits or defensive habits, which are based on the habits of the overall team, if a team plays the "habit" that they are best at and most comfortable in the game, then it will naturally have a rhythm and will control the rhythm of the game, on the contrary, if it is not comfortable to play, it is "not used to", and it will lose the rhythm of the game. So how do you make the team play comfortably? Of course, it is necessary to play the best at practicing the most and being the most familiar with. What are the Warriors best at, most familiar with, and practice the most? Nature is...... Pick-and-roll to cover offense.
At least that's the case on the offensive end.
And at the moment, the most important thing to solve is the offensive problem, and if you can't score points, it's not this year's Warriors.
Kerr's focus and tactical focus are taken carefully, it is not Curry and Thompson, because they are natural marksmen, and they don't need to explain anything at all, if they really have a chance, they won't let go or be soft at all. Therefore, what we need to do is to let them and let the "Splash Brothers" get more and more comfortable opportunities. It's not the shot in the section just now.
So Cole confessed to Bogut and Green instead.
Because these two talents are the key to the Warriors' revitalization system, at least one of his killer features.
After listening to Cole's explanation, Bogut and Green both nodded, and Cole smiled, put away the tactical board, and then continued his "Cole-style signature humor": "Okay, get back on, kick ass." ”
After returning to the court, the Warriors didn't look like there were too many changes, the lineup, the advancement, and the feeling were all about the same, giving people the illusion that Kerr hadn't set up any tactical settings at all. It's just a timeout. In fact? Of course not. As soon as the half was over, the change immediately appeared, the Warriors' Bogut suddenly appeared in the top arc, or this ball, he had no intention of going inside at all, a block, Rondo was blocked, and Curry immediately made a three-point shot.
Brush ~hit~
At 43-46, the Warriors regained the lead.
The Lakers are still attacking in the low post, Tang Qian is playing hard, and Green's defense is very early and accurate this time, or he is pinching the past, and most of his energy is on Tang Qian. Tang Qian chose to play the ball at this time, he is not Howard, his ability to play the ball and assist is low, but since he broke through in the playoffs last season, he has stepped into the league's inner ball level.
This kind of defense is nothing to Tang Qian, he played the ball as soon as possible. Green was really quick to make up the defense, and as soon as he turned around, he pounced back, and if he moved a little slower, he wouldn't be able to shoot. Even if it wasn't slow, the ball was interfered with by Green. In this respect, Green is indeed excellent, but Bosh is not good at stubble, he is tall and has long arms, and taking advantage of this, he does not move, but catches the ball on the spot and shoots. Even in the eyes of many people, this is a bit of a top projection when shooting.
If it weren't for Bosh being so tall and having such long arms, he would have really been disturbed by Green.
No, the interference has actually been generated, but Bosh's mid-range shot is the elite level in the No. 4 position, except for one Dirk in the league. Nowitzki, how many No. 4 positions dare to pitch with Bosh? Including Kevin. It wasn't until a few years later that Love really surpassed Bosh in 3-point shooting percentage. That's still the reason why James fed him the ball. As for mid-projection, I'm sorry, neither Lefu is a match for Bosh. Lefu is the kind of shooter at the No. 4 position who really relies on crazy three-point training to strengthen muscle memory, so you can clearly see that Lefou's mid-range shooting rate is only 35% in his career, and only 34.1% this season. It's a little better, but it's still not as good as Bosh. 4 percent of his career is very strong, and he can be called a first-rate as an insider. Even if it is basically a block-and-roll ejection and an empty projection, and there are very few mid-to-long-range shots in attack, it doesn't hurt, because except for a few interior lines such as Nowitzki, almost all of them are like this. It's a pity that Bosh's data in this area is as high as 45.4% of his career! It can be said that the mid-to-long range shots are perfect for Lefou, so Tang Qian suggested that Bosh change the style of play last season and follow some of Hamilton's previous paths in the Pistons to learn from. This is Bosh, and ordinary people Tang Qian would not suggest so.
There is no other reason, it is that the projection ability cannot keep up, and if you want to do so, you will bring about your own destruction, and you will take your own shortcomings.
Brush ~ Bosh hit, and the Lakers also caught up with 2 points.
45-46。
The Lakers have strengthened their defense, and the average defensive position can't beat them at all, and the Warriors just didn't do it, but now they have changed. Came up with one of the killer features of the season. The so-called super pick-and-roll and super cover, or super illegal cover. It's also the last season that this illegal cover belongs exclusively to the Warriors. After that, it was not the referee who controlled it, but the whole league learned it, and the referee association acquiesced. But now, it still belongs to the Warriors, and compared to last year's slightly jerky play, this season they have pushed it to the top.
The team's illegal cover is too serious, and many teams in this day and age have not tested how tolerant the referee is for moving screens, so they missed the opportunity to promote the whole team. Of course, there are also those that have been completely outlawed, that is, the legendary "elevator cover". This screen starts next season, and after discussion, the referee believes that this way of covering does not leave any room for defenders to defend, so it will be completely banned from next season. Before this, there was no official exact statement, but after this season, the official directly announced that standing up in advance needs to give the defender time or space to change direction and stop moving, so as not to be considered illegal cover. To put it bluntly, this is not aimed at the most fierce mobile cover before, it is completely aimed at the "elevator cover". Because only the "elevator close" will deprive defenders of the opportunity to stop moving and change direction, this can be regarded as a "real target" of the Warriors by the league.
Otherwise, I don't know what to do.
Someone else learns? You really can't learn. First of all, you have a team of pick-and-roll screeners, especially on the inside, there are no two people like Bogut and Green, one is good, and you still want two? And most importantly, this hurdle actually means giving up on competing for offensive rebounds, just to create the best shot space for shooters.
Take a gamble, enter and enter, and if you don't enter, you can only choose to retreat.
But this is a problem, other teams can't get past this shooting rate, but the Warriors can, they have "Splash Brothers". The strongest marksman in history + at least the top three shooters in the league, they have the capital to play like this. Other teams play like this, and if they don't say anything else, there is no way to guarantee the success rate. Therefore, if you can't learn it, the advantage of this trick is too obvious, and the alliance simply banned it. That's why, after Bogut's injury and Green's suspension, the Warriors' Finals score dropped again and again. Bogut is not only on the defensive end of the Warriors' entire team system, but his role on the offensive end is even heavier.
It's either a shot, it's a cover.
Green himself said that his cover and blocking were carefully directed by Bogut, and you can see how good the Australian is in this regard. Without Bogut, this team's blocking and dismantling cover routine would never have been able to play so slippery. In fact, it can also be seen that without Bogut later, the Warriors have a lot less pick-and-roll three-pointers in this regard, and Curry's amazing performance has also declined.
And before that, this tactic was almost extinct in the NBA.
Including last season, because of the tacit understanding problem, it didn't appear so often, this ball is typical, after the position, the 2 blocks and pick-and-rolls did not have much effect, the Lakers have a strong ability to move and change defenses well, which makes the Warriors' cover move a lot darker. However, there is always a way to solve it, and this is the "back hand" that Cole has just given to Bogut and Green.
The English name is elevator.doors, in fact, the first creation of this tactic in the Warriors was Mark Jackson, but unfortunately at that time, Curry and Thompson were not as good as they are now. Secondly, he is also extremely bad at building the team's pick-and-roll system, and does not reuse Green to use David. Lee can't guarantee the effect. David. Lee's offense is naturally better than Green's, but when it comes to defense and system tactics, ten Davids. Lee is also inferior to Green. So this tactic is actually just a "vase role" in the Warriors, and it is not valued. But as the saying goes, trees die, people live, and some people can just find treasures from the garbage heap. Kerr came to the Warriors and found Mark. Jackson, the "garbage" left by his predecessor, and turned it into treasure, suddenly became a terrifying super system skill in the league.
The Warriors, except for Curry, who has the ability to explode with the ball, in fact, you can see the rest of the main team, and the ability to explode with the ball is not good. Including Thompson, who later only practiced at an okay level, which is still based on his projection threat. Attacking with the ball, at critical moments, is basically not used. So the strength of this Warriors team is strong in the system and tactics. The players and the tactical system are extremely compatible, which is their secret move to kill gods and ghosts in the regular season this season.
So far, this move is too rare, which means that the success rate is so high and rare, so the opponent team is basically at a loss. Gave it to Clay first. Thompson slipped to the bottom, Curry took the other side to contain, and then ambushed a person on both sides of the horn position, and when Thompson came out of the middle, Green and Bogut in the horn position immediately closed the door.
Bang~
It's the sound of Lakers players being blocked out of the elevator.
Although Thompson is not good at dribbling and projecting, he is a must when he catches the ball in the air cutting position, so there is no one in front of him when he gets the ball, and he immediately shoots three-pointers. Brush ~ Goal ~ 3 points ~ 45-49.
The Lakers' Bosh scored another shot, 47-49, and the Warriors turned around and played a weak-side aircut, with Klay standing on the strong side. Thompson and Curry, on the weak side, looked for an opportunity to steal the ball into the interior through Bogut's excellent blocking, brushing ~ layup into the net ~ 47-51.
Tang Qian's ball was passed out, but unfortunately Green judged very well this time, and it was even a fake defense, so the return kill speed was extremely fast, and Bosh was greatly affected and the projection was missed. The rebound bounced to the opposite side of Tang Qian, and the Warriors took the ball and pushed it quickly.
Yes, that's the rhythm of the Warriors, get up, run, never slow, less position, less offense, less waiting.
Curry ran past a three-pointer, and Rondo was also frightened by this "babyface", he swore that he had never seen such a big threat by relying solely on projection skills when he played basketball so far. So I subconsciously pounced, knowing that Curry's ball was a cover, and when Rondo came over, he leaned forward, and then "beep, beep", the referee blew the whistle, and Rondo fouled the defense.
Curry walked to the free throw line and didn't rest at all, made 3 quick shots, brushed and brushed~ all of them hit the Lakers basket.
47-54, when Rondo passed the ball to Ariza, Green suddenly stepped forward, used his long arm, and cut off the ball, and the Warriors immediately, the whole team was like playing chicken blood, and they instantly pounced collectively, dazzling to watch. This is to specifically play the opponent's misalignment, because in the process of retreating, all defenders need to move backwards, so they need to adjust before landing, which gives the Warriors' ball carriers the opportunity to find the wrong person specifically.
This is also a major feature of the Warriors, and Kerr's tactical philosophy is implanted, which is called "appropriate abandonment reasonable".
Of course, this is also based on personal ability, if not, it is to rectify yourself.
This ball Curry is specifically looking for Tang to sneak to, why? It's very simple, either you are crazy, or you know that the inertia of the big center and the center of gravity of the body are not easy to adjust during the retreat. Moreover, interior players need to retreat to a deeper position, and it is not easy to subconsciously adjust their thinking and reverse the forward pounce. This move has he shot many well-known interior lines in the league. For example, Anthony. Davis, Howard, DeMarcus. Cousins and many more. This move really liberated the "prodigal" nature of Curry's personality, so it hit it off, and Curry entered this tactical role perfectly without any adaptation period.
Convert the misplaced long-range shot, brush ~, the ball is not far from Tang Qian, and the emergency stop is projected into the basket.
Sure enough, just as Curry expected, Tang Qian's ball was too late to adjust, so he could only watch the former project into the basket.
47-57, another 10 points.
"It's hot, it's 10 minutes again, it's a pity."
The Lakers quickly called a timeout, and from tying to 10 points, it was simply a blink of an eye, and the Warriors' short-term explosiveness was amazingly strong. Larry. Brown admits he underestimated. During this time, the rhythm of the game was taken away by the opponent again, and the Lakers played very passively. He was not of the "Zen master" genre, so he decisively called a timeout.
First, readjust the arrangement, and second, interrupt the opponent's offensive state and offensive rhythm.
The opponent was a young sophomore rookie coach, but he made Larry. Brown also felt the pressure, but he was that kind of hard temper, and he didn't know what it meant to be old, so he put pen to paper on the tactical board and said: "Quickly settle down, this wave of them is too aggressive, temporarily give up grabbing offensive rebounds and wait for this period to say, quickly retreat after the offense, and the position must be clear!" Do you have to know it clearly? Just follow the training, don't get entangled and hesitate, the Warriors play fast, and if you hesitate a little, you will be seized! We've practiced a lot, and the body will have an instinctive memory, don't think too much about anything else. If the opponent plays the ball just now, hot, you immediately give up and return to the basket, Chris, you too, block the three points first, their hands are very hot in this section, wait until it passes! "It's all about targeted trade-offs and changes, and it's not all the time it's good to desperately grab offensive rebounds. Brown's words are "more about it after this paragraph".
The state of the team and the state of the players are all in a burst, unless it really continues throughout the game, otherwise after this period, the state is down, and it is time to counterattack. This should be heard a lot by fans in the future, and they must withstand the wave of the Warriors, otherwise, there will be no then. Larry. Brown's arrangement was timely.
"Acceleration wheel conversion defense!" Larry. Brown swung quickly on the tactical board: "They have a lot of pick-and-rolls and screens in this section, and we have to pay attention to that." Focus more on changing defenses and rotating defenses! When necessary, the dislocation should also be guarded against, and now this section, don't give them any space! Did you hear it all? ”
"In the end, after being blocked and dismantled, pounce on the outside first! Remember to pounce on the outside first! Their team is different from other teams, focusing on outside three-point strikes, this kind of ball has to be grabbed to defend the outside first, and the inside line of blocking and dismantling is grabbed in front of the outside line. The three non-defensive blockers in the back should also pay attention to concentration, not scatter, burn you as the defensive core of the team, pay attention to observe the situation in the back, read the defense, and direct the whole team to defend the next step, you know? ”
Look at Larry. Brown's appearance has obviously begun to take this opponent extremely seriously, and all the Lakers players nodded seriously.
The battle for rhythm continues, and the Warriors are stronger than anyone in the Lakers expected.
If the Lakers can really reach the Western Conference Finals this season, then their opponent, the most likely one, is the Golden State Warriors in front of them. So that's also Larry. The reason why Brown was so interested in this game.
Next year, a reporter summed up the key points of this season, one of which is the battle for the lake brave, this rhythm runs through the entire 15-16 season.
