Henson's timely change of strategy allowed the Pacers to quickly close the eight-point deficit. With Paul. George hit a solid free throw to reduce the margin to just three points. At this time, Mark. Jackson had already picked up the tactical board, but he didn't immediately call a halt to the game. The second quarter has just begun, so you can't rush it.

Leonard's miraculous steal and Paul. George's dunk hit a three-pointer to boost the morale of the Pacers. After that, the Pacers still didn't let the Warriors get a shot. Curry's mid-range throw was knocked out of the frame under Horford's timely defense, and West's solid positioning allowed him to protect the defensive rebound.

Paul then closed the gap between the two teams with a beautiful three-pointer. With a clean 8-0 run, the Golden State Warriors' advantage was wiped out.

"In the second quarter, the momentum seemed to have completely reversed. Let's see how the Warriors adjust. ”

At this point, the second quarter had only been played for two minutes. But Mark. Jackson obviously didn't want to wait any longer, he decisively gestured at the referee, and didn't forget to shout "Time!" ”

The Warriors called a timeout, and Mark Murphy called a timeout. Jackson decided to unleash that very particular tactic early.

"Paused so soon?" For Mark. Jackson's caution, Henson was somewhat surprised. The score had just been drawn, and besides, Mark. Is there any other trick Jackson can use? Could it be that he is really going to start playing the inside line?

No. With Curry and Thompson two such powerful long-range firepower, Mark. Jackson wants to force the inside line, which is simply a tyrannical thing. Although David. Lee is the only All-Star for the Warriors, but now Henson is well aware that David is the only All-Star player. Lee was just the "lieutenant" to those two young guards, and he was never the Warriors' first choice on the offensive end.

"Keep up with the strategy you just had and keep being tough! I repeat, change the defense decisively, decisively! "Henson is going to take a look at Mark first. What will Jackson do, he will not move first. Because he really couldn't have predicted it, Mark. What Jackson will do next.

This is Henson's most brain-burning matchup this season, except for the game against Popovich. Originally, he thought that this trip to the Bay Area would be extremely easy, but Henson had to admit that he underestimated the other party's quality.

After the timeout was over and the players were on the pitch, Henson sat back on the bench to rest for a while. However, at this time, Stevens came over with a worried face.

"Henson, you didn't take a closer look at the Warriors' game footage today, did you?" As Stevens spoke, the game on the court had already begun.

"Well, I really haven't studied the Warriors much, after all, we were in Sacramento against the Kings 24 hours ago." Henson spread his hands, not studying the Warriors' game footage closely, not because he was lazy, but because he really didn't have time to do so.

"When you were training during the day today, I watched some footage of the Warriors...... There are some tactics in it that make me a little worried. ”

Seeing Stevens' serious appearance, Henson couldn't help frowning. This has just equalized the score, what kind of moth is going to come out?

"Now, look at it for yourself first." Stevens pointed to the court with his chin and the Warriors went on offense.

Unlike the previous few times Curry held the ball and Klay ran without the ball. This time, Curry just passed the ball to David just after halftime. Lee, David. Li held a high position, and it seems that he wants to be a high-position command tower like Horford did in the past. And thanks to David. Lee also had range, so Horford had to follow out to defend.

"Want to open up space?" Henson shook his head, this trick won't work, because "David West" is a good supporter.

But the situation was not as simple as Henson thought, Curry ran away and gave Klay another off-ball cover outside the three-point line, and Klay ran to the weak side to make a wall for Barnes, who mentioned the right three-point line to pick up David. Lee's ball. The Warriors' running is as superb as ever, and we have to admit that Mark. Jackson is definitely an underrated master tactician.

At the same time, Klay has pulled to the three-point line on the right sideline, which completely opens up the space on the court. But Barnes with the ball? Barnes is an all-round player, but he doesn't pose a high offensive threat at the moment. Let an outside player with the lowest offensive threat carry the ball...... Henson still doesn't know what the Warriors want to do.

Barnes then dribbled to the top of the arc high post, and David Brown. Lee first screened Curry off the ball in the left waist and then immediately returned to the free throw line to separate the wall with Aizeli.

"All huddled together? Is this a double screen? Henson touched his chin, but Stevens remained silent, because the most crucial step in this tactic was coming!

Curry slipped around the cover and followed the bottom line of David. Through the middle of the wall made by Lee and Aizeli, that's right, through between the two covers! Not some double cover!

Paul, the defensive guru, was stunned, but he couldn't hesitate and continued to chase Curry.

Just as Curry walked through David. The moment Lee and Aizeli were momentari, the two suddenly took a step closer to each other and closed the gap. Paul crashed into the two screeners, and the space for hesitation had been opened up in advance, so there was no way to make up for it.

After such a series of complicated runs, Curry finally got space for three-point shooting! This baby-faced No. 30 didn't hesitate to raise his hand and shoot! By the time Paul squeezed out, Curry had already finished shooting. Curry's shot speed is very fast, and if he can't block it in the first place, he can only pray that Curry can't shoot accurately.

But Curry's 45 percent shooting percentage is no joke. Pray he can't vote? Stop dreaming.

"Brush!"

The basketball went through the net, and in the eyes of ordinary fans, it was just another ordinary three-point shot. The Warriors relied on Curry's three-pointer to take the lead again. But Henson has a big mouth, what the is this tactic? He can guarantee that he has seen so many videos of teams and famous coaches, but he has never seen such a tactic!

The two big men suddenly merged, blocking the pursuers. It's like...... It's as if a door suddenly closes, locking the defender "out".

"It's called the elevator door tactic, it's Mark. Jackson's tailor-made offensive tactics for Curry and Thompson. Curry and Thompson do off-ball runs, the No. 3 position carries the ball, and the two interior players do 'goal'. This season Mark. Jackson is gradually increasing the frequency of this tactic, using Curry and Thompson's off-ball firepower to the extreme! It was only when I watched the footage yesterday that I occasionally discovered this strange tactic. Today maybe it's because we muted their regular style of play in advance, so Mark. Jackson had just got the elevator doors running in advance. After reading it, Stevens finally explained to Henson.

"Elevator doors? What an apt name...... In this tactic, the two inside lines are suspected of moving cover. Henson held his chin with a look on his face, and by this time the Pacers players had already attacked. He wasn't worried about the team's offense, but was thinking about how to defend and how to keep the damn "elevator door" closed.

"Strictly speaking, yes, the Warriors' two interior lines did suspect moving cover the moment the door closed. But the league has not paid attention to it, so the referee generally chooses not to blow this kind of ball that can be blown or not. ”

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Because...... I haven't figured out a way to crack this tactic yet. ”

Henson glanced at Stevens in surprise, Stevens had a much larger tactical reserve than himself. There is no tactic that Stevens will not crack, so Henson was also extremely surprised to hear Stevens say "no".

"Hasn't anyone used such a tactic before? I don't believe Mark. Jackson came up with such a tactic out of thin air. "Henson is very clear that after so many years of basketball development, most of the routines that can be used are actually almost the same.

Most of the so-called novel tactics of these juniors are based on the previous ones, and I have not heard of any coach setting up a tactic out of thin air.

"No, there were similar tactics back in the 90s. But the premise of the elevator door is that the team has a strong three-point shooting point, and the basketball game in the 90s didn't pay much attention to the three-point shot, so this tactic was not used much. Mark. Jackson improved the tactic and added two three-point shooters who wouldn't have been possible in the '90s. You have to know that even Reggie. Miller, in those days, could not have averaged nearly 8 three-pointers per game. ”

While Henson and Stevens were discussing, Al. Horford scored on Azeley's head with a beautiful back-to-back layup in the low post. But even so, the Pacers are still lagging behind.

The Warriors quickly attacked, and this round was the same as before, and the Warriors once again played the elevator door game. But this time, there was a lesson from the past, and Leonard, who was defending Barnes, moved in front of Curry early to block his shot.

But Curry was not stupid, seeing this situation, he made an extra pass and sent the ball to Barnes. "North Carolina Eagles" Barnes has never been a shooter, but his three-point shooting percentage is also passable.

With an open three-pointer and a midfielder, the "elevator door" tactic not only allows the shooter to gain space, but also extends a lot of changes.

The Warriors rained three-pointers, and they plus Stevens were actually suppressed tactically, which was something Henson had never experienced before. You know, Henson and Stevens have partnered this season, but they have defeated Popovich and Carlisle successively.

It seems that the rise of this Western team is not an accident.

"Steady the offense, steady the offense, can't be beaten out of the offensive climax!" Henson shouted at the court, now there is only one way to attack.

Let's hope that before the outcome is decided, Henson can figure out how to "blast" the elevator door......
