Chapter 493: The Warrior's "Five Little Deaths"
It's a meat grinder-like game.
This is also the most defensive game between the Lakers and the Warriors so far, and they are constantly fighting and fighting on the court.
It's like Curry defending Chen Yu, he can't stop Chen Yu at all, but he still does his best, if it weren't for fouls and not violating the rules of basketball, Chen Yu even estimated that this guy would use all his teeth.
The Warriors are using the strength of the entire team to beat Chen Yu one person today!
Chen Yu's scoring was indeed high today, but the connection between him and his teammates was severed in front of the Warriors' defense.
Moreover, today's Warriors are practicing a very advanced basketball theory: five small!
In fact, the tactic of five small is a variant, and it is a variant of many previous tactics, including the Warriors' fast play whirlwind at the beginning, and then the Suns' running and bombing, and then to the five small sacrificed by the Heat team in the previous two years, it has been developing and refining its own theory.
Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat, once said: "In the future, the players on the basketball court will be more than 2 meters tall, and they will have the ability to change defenses and hold the ball infinitely, and they have the speed to switch between offense and defense." And when he coached Magic Johnson's "showtime", it was kind of like playing with this philosophy.
Any theory has its own possibility of implementation, but it also has its own adaptation area, five small things, if used indiscriminately in the league, of course, it will only bring water and soil adaptation, but some teams do have huge possibilities!
Because the Warriors have two defenders like Green and Iguodala, who can be inside and outside, including Thompson, who is also an outside gate with a height of more than two meters, Curry and Barnes' defense is considered weak here, but they seem to be combining a strategy similar to a "Tian Ji horse racing" in ancient China, and simply let Curry bite Chen Yu.
The effect of such a lineup is that the Warriors continue to assault on the offensive side and cut off Chen's passing lane on the defensive end.
The Lakers have never faced such a defense, and it was a rush for the first time today.
In fact, if you want to crack this kind of five small tactics, to put it bluntly, it is still very simple.
The first method is to have two defensive gates on the outside, cut off the Warriors' inside and outside cooperation, so that the five small are flexible and flexible, and the advantages of various passing and shooting cannot be brought into play. The second method is to add an offensive endpoint to the two defensive gates outside and one inside, similar to the super team like the OK combination, the outside line makes them unable to shoot, and the inside line makes their breakthrough points unable to play and uses the inside line to steal points, they are limited to height and cannot defend at all.
The third way is the inner twin towers, if you have an invincible inner line, five small is a joke, the opponent's twin towers can hit you cry, after all, although there is a god theory that Morey's three-point shooting rate of more than 33.4% is higher than that of mid-range shooting 50%, but there is also a point in the magic ball theory that the offensive efficiency under the basket.
The fourth method is the one that D'Antoni and his team are planning now.
…… The Warriors' five-small lineup can indeed exert great power, but their method is not mature, and their strategy of biting and encountering blocking and changing defenses still can't limit Chen Yu, so now the score is not opened, and the Warriors' five-small interior line has become a big problem after the consumption of the Lakers' real tall interior line.
So, the Lakers still have a chance!
At this time, some basketball commentators around the world who were watching the game were also playing their own ideas: "In fact, the Warriors' solution does have some truth, although other teams can't follow their example, but it does open up some ideas for restricting Chen Yu. ”
With the last 3 minutes and 21 seconds left in the game, the score was 96-90, the Lakers trailed by 6 points, and called a timeout again, and after the timeout, the Lakers began to change formations!
They found that the Lakers' lineup is Farmal, Meeks, Chen Yu, Gasol, and Carman!
This lineup makes people a little speechless, thinking that the Lakers want to use a three-guard strategy......
But soon, they found out that Chen Yu was not another guard, but went directly to play small forward!
This discovery is staggering, Chen Yu is only 191 centimeters in the end...... It doesn't look like it's something that can stand up to it.
But soon, everyone saw that in the last moments of the game, Chen Yu burst out all his abilities, whether it was offensive or defensive.
In front of Chen Yu's defense, Barnes was basically uncomfortable with his shot.
In terms of offense, although the Warriors can continue to let Curry bite Chen Yu, but now that Chen Yu has completely put his tandem teammates aside, he is endlessly breaking through and attacking!
Chen Yu has attacked and broken through again and again, and his offensive shooting percentage has surpassed that of the Warriors!
With such offensive efficiency, the scores of the two sides are actually being pulled in!
With the last 59 seconds left in the game, Chen Yu broke through again, and after a folding lever layup, the score became 100-100, and the two sides were already tied!
The Warriors keep attacking!
Fans all over the world who are watching the game are almost afraid to come out.
Everyone was almost holding their breath.
The basketball is in Curry's hands!
"Defend this ball!"
Chen Yu yelled, and then he went directly to defend Curry, after all, Curry is still the most dangerous offensive player in the Warriors.
Curry was helpless, but he really couldn't break through Chen Yu's defense in the final moments of this kind of game, he passed the basketball to Green inside, and he had to be as careful as possible to be stealed.
The Lakers really had the strength to defend the ball, Green played for a long time and could only pass the ball to Iguodala, Iguodala was caught inside, although they saw Chen Yu put more than two meters of space for Curry, but they didn't dare to pass the ball, for fear of being stealed.
And so, something amazing happened: the Warriors ran out of 24 seconds of offensive time!
In a sigh, the Lakers attack!
The Lakers attacked, there were not so many options, and there were not so many worries, although the Warriors could think of Chen Yu attacking with their toes, but they couldn't think of a way to limit Chen Yu with their brains.
Chen Yuxin broke through ruthlessly, although he lacked physical strength, he was now gritting his teeth and breaking through, doing his best, and directly pushing into the green against him.
Green was actually pushed to the basket by Chen Yu's shoulder, and the Warriors didn't dare to wrap it up - their height disadvantage was too great, and once the Lakers were given space to attack inside, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chen Yu jumped directly at this time, and Green was also trying his best to defend, but it was impossible to limit Chen Yu's 90 layup in this kind of place.
Chen Yu hit the board, and this layup was very unpretentious.
But the score became 102-100.
Warriors fans are heartbroken, and they always feel that this game is about to be handed over again......
