Chapter 355: The Three-Minute Brigade Brings Out the New
"Don't be brought into the trap by the Warriors."
Popovich swept around each player, "The Warriors want to play with us on the outside, and although we are good on the outside, we can't fall into the rhythm they like, so we should use our strengths and weaknesses to overcome the enemy's shortcomings, and for a while, with Duncan as the axis." ”
"Everybody else played without the ball."
"Move the attack by running and pull the opponent's defense."
"Give Duncan as much space as possible to play singles, Deng Hongfei, you have a good hand, and the running position is a little more aggressive, but you have to hold the ball less, and the offense should not be launched from the outside as much as possible."
"They're suffering a lot from the inside, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood."
Deng Hongfei certainly understands the head coach's arrangement.
However, as a party to the case, he still couldn't understand for a while why he performed well and was quite efficient, and he had to transfer the position to the inside line.
But then, he understood.
Admittedly, the Spurs' outside configuration is also very good.
In an ordinary team, it will definitely stick to the outside play.
But for the Spurs, they have a better option.
Compare the two and choose the best.
Popovich's train of thought was not wrong.
The Warriors are still playing fast with Curry's rhythm under control, and the Spurs' position is turning inside.
They are more stable.
Duncan is the axis, Dior is nimble and maneuvering, threading the needle.
At this time, Deng Hongfei and Leonard's excellent off-ball ability came into play.
The two of them are like smooth silk, instigated by Dior's embroidery needle, twisting and turning.
Klay Thompson and Barnes are both good defensive players, but they still struggle to keep up with the Spurs' massive team machine.
A few pick-and-rolls and pass-and-roll balls are freed up.
In Leonard's hands.
Leonard took a look and felt that the rhythm was a little wrong, so he released the ball and accelerated inward, and threw it in three steps with the ball and a big hook!
"Not bad."
Now the pace of the whole team is quite satisfactory to Popovich.
Although the interior only has two points at a time, it is better than the three-point shooting rate anyway.
Even in today's leagues where small ball is becoming more and more prevalent, Popovich still sticks to traditional ideas.
Although he has incorporated the idea of small ball into his own strategy, this does not mean that he will completely abandon the mid-range shot like other coaches.
Focus a lot of shots on outside the three-point line.
However, the Golden State Warriors do have their own unique features.
The biggest initiator was Stephen Curry.
Defense doesn't seem to be of much use to his superb marksmanship.
His three-point shot doesn't seem to need much rhythm and no space.
At least to outsiders.
Repeatedly swoop cold arrows.
Repeatedly piercing through the yang in 100 steps, hitting accurately!
His huge intimidation from the outside has attracted a lot of defensive attention from the Spurs.
That's where superstars come in.
Beyond the tactical system, it cannot be measured by common sense.
No matter how elaborate the arrangement is, it is all for the reasonable situation.
In the face of shocking star performances, what arrangement is gathered in two words - eggs.
It is not easy to see signs of momentum.
Shengsheng was snuffed out by Curry with two consecutive three-pointers.
The Spurs consciously focused more of their defensive attention on Curry, who was always able to spot teammates' open spots with ghostly moves and nimble vision.
Klay Thompson is also a top-notch off-ball player.
On more than one occasion, he ran out of space under the cover of his teammates and fired from a distance after receiving a pass.
The action is so fast and constant that it doesn't seem to require much time to adjust.
Deng Hongfei tried his best, but it was difficult to spare the warriors' layers of cover.
The situation of the two is similar, Thompson can't keep up with him, and he can't keep up with Thompson.
But on the off-ball end and the consistency of shooting after receiving the ball.
The gap between him and Thompson began to show up little by little.
Although Deng Hongfei also started with no-ball skills, he can't compare to Thompson, an idiot who has played without the ball since he was a child.
It's fair to say that the off-ball style has been completely integrated deep into Thompson's bone marrow.
And Deng Hongfei, despite his hard work, despite his diligence, and despite his talents, he is only a halfway monk in the final analysis.
——
On the sidelines, Popovich crossed his waist.
He looked at the big score hanging above his head and was stunned.
The Warriors' crazy three-point shooting and the Ultimate Realm's small, fast-paced play made him feel deep pressure.
On the field, the team is still playing steadily, and the score is still anxious.
But Popovich is not confident that this situation will continue.
Admittedly, the Spurs do have an advantage on the inside.
The Warriors struggled to defend.
But the latter will play against you, and if you play his inside, he will have a three-pointer on his side.
How to fight?
If you play 3 rounds inside, it's just a matter of 2 rounds of three-point shooting.
Even if you have a high success rate, you can't stand up to the indiscriminate bombardment of the warriors.
That's a real problem.
And that's where the Warriors come in.
The traditional three-point team, no matter how accurate it is, can't escape the category of "normal" after all.
And Golden State's performance this season is to really shoot three-point shots with a two-point feeling.
God is accurate, stable.
And often blow up a crazy wave, shoot a huge lead in a short period of time, and directly reap the game.
Before you know it, the first quarter ends.
The two sides were temporarily tied at 33-29, with the Golden State Warriors leading by four points.
Curry scored 14 points in the first quarter alone.
He made 4 of 5 three-pointers.
During the break, Popovich temporarily took Deng Hongfei and Parker and replaced them with Manu and Danny Green.
The inner line is plugged into the basket-type tower Split.
And also let Duncan take a break and use the strong and agile Aaron Baines as the No. 4 position.
It is hoped that the air defense advantage on the interior line will be further consolidated and more confrontations will be given to the Warriors.
Danny Green was given the difficult task of opposing Curry, although the coaching staff didn't know if Curry would play at the start of the second quarter.
The short break was fleeting.
Players from both sides are back on the pitch.
Curry is still there.
However, the Warriors have also made a slight lineup adjustment, which is aimed at the interior.
Center forward Bogut goes off.
Speights went up to the top five.
The No. 4 spot was still Green, and the No. 3 spot was replaced by Iguodala.
The lineup on the court was changed to Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Green, Speights.
This lineup does not have Bogut's basket protection, but it has more firepower points for opening the bow from the outside.
Kerr's intention is simple, that is, to use dense three-point rain to force him to blow up a thousand holes in the Spurs' solid defense.
