Chapter 544: The Closed Elevator Door

For a second-generation star who has been on the sidelines of the NBA since he was a child, Curry has seen a lot of the world. Countless legendary goals scored by legends, the baby-faced defender has witnessed firsthand.

But the kind of layup that Yiyang made just now, Curry really hasn't seen it before. The person in the air turned around and changed hands again, just thinking about it, this action is very complicated.

Curry advanced with the ball while looking Yiyang up and down. This No. 1 is indeed very incredible, but that doesn't mean that you will easily throw in the towel. The stronger the opponent, the more necessary it is to defeat him!

Curry's dribbling is still easy, and it can be seen that his whole body is relaxed, unlike other guards who tense up when they see Yiyang.

This time Curry didn't go it alone, but hoisted the ball to their interior pillar David. Plum. This seemingly harmless white interior is definitely one of the most underrated players in the league.

As a regular in the 20+10 club, David. Lee's attacking skills are gorgeous. His range extends beyond the three-point line and he can shoot with both his left and right hands.

Excellent footwork, flexible ball control, superior visibility, excellent passing ...... This made David. Lee is almost a player with no blind spots in his offensive skills.

If it weren't for Mark. Jackson is interested in supporting Curry, David. Lee's stats will not drop slightly as a result. But sometimes, the Warriors still need him to open up the situation inside.

Leaning on Nowitzki, David. Lee began to push back. The heavier weight of David. With every step back, Lee was able to eat deeper. Nowitzki saw that he couldn't resist the other party, so he reached out and prepared to steal.

However, at the moment when the German's center of gravity reached forward to break the ball, David. Lee used his nimble footsteps to turn around quickly with Nowitzki as the axis!

In just one step, Nowitzki was completely defeated by David. Lee shook it off. The latter dunked with both hands in the face of an empty basket and once again helped the Warriors overtake the score.

Carlisle shook his head, having to admit that the Warriors' offensive firepower is really very strong. Do you think they're just outside fire? No, their inner line is likewise not a fuel-efficient lamp.

A few dozen seconds later, Iguodala's shot from beyond the three-point line sent the Warriors back in the game.

This time, no one knows if the Warriors will play inside or outside. David. Lee is aggressive, but Curry also seems to be looking for opportunities.

Just when Yiyang was also confused, Curry passed the ball again, and the object of the pass was still David. Plum. It seems that the Warriors are trying to establish an advantage on the interior first.

This time, however, Curry passed the ball to David. Li then did not stand still and enjoy the success, but ran quickly, as if looking for a gap!

At this time, Yiyang understood that things were not so simple. David. Lee is just a front, the real endpoint is Curry!

Curry went around the three-second zone, then suddenly turned a right-angle corner and headed for the front of the basket outside the three-point line.

Yiyang quickly changed his center of gravity, and even Curry had to admit that Yiyang was the deadliest opponent he had ever seen chasing after him.

At this time, Yiyang saw that Bogut had leaned closer to Curry, and at the same time, David. Lee passed the ball to Curry and then stood parallel to Bogut.

This strange position, is it possible!?

Curry passed through the middle of the two interior lines with the ball, and Yiyang tried to keep up, but at this moment, the two interior lines in parallel positions suddenly moved closer to each other and closed tightly like an elevator door!

"Boom!" Yiyang naturally bumped into the Warriors' two interior lines, and when he got rid of the other party's entanglement and wanted to save Curry, Curry had already shot.

Empty three-point shots are rarely missed for Curry, the basketball plunged into the net, and Curry scored three points again!

Yiyang gritted his teeth, and he remembered everything that had happened when he had just defended Curry. The ball carrier "passes the goal", and the two inside lines immediately follow the "closing goal". This is a very typical "elevator door tactic" of the Warriors! ”

"The Warriors' tactics were executed very successfully, which is why their offense is at the top of the league. The coordination between Curry and the two interior players is so seamless that even the best defensive player can't do anything about it. "Mike. Brin had to sigh at the fluidity of the Warriors' offense, and it seemed like everyone on the Warriors was a part. Once Jackson put them all together, they became an offensive machine that could never go wrong.

Curry's three-point score made the Mavericks four points behind, four points, and the largest point difference in this game so far.

Yiyang is now thinking about how to crack the Warriors' elevator tactics, and he doesn't want Curry to cut forty or fifty points on his head.

On the offensive side, Yiyang is simple. The Mavericks don't have the same complex offensive tactics as the Warriors, but under Yiyang's control, others can easily get their chances.

This time, Yiyang's breakthrough still attracted Bogut and David. The attention of the two of them. Just when people were curious about what kind of unbelievable way Yiyang would use to score under the defense of the two interior lines, he passed the ball accurately in the crowd.

Nowitzki, who was "unwanted" in the mid-range position, took the ball and shot, and the German's soft touch ensured the accuracy of the basketball, and the Mavericks scored two points in less than 15 seconds.

Two teams, two coaches, two completely different attack patterns. One relies on complex tactics to drive the offense, and the other relies on super point guards to drive the offense. No one has an answer to which of these two options is better or worse. After 48 minutes of that year, one will get a preliminary judgment.

Subsequently, the Warriors continued to look for opportunities around the theme of "elevator tactics." David. Lee mentions the high post, but not to block and pick up, but to receive Curry's passes.

Lee was holding the ball in the high post and it was clear that Mark. Jackson wanted him to be a point of play, and let's not forget that this guy's passing vision and skills are also very good.

Curry's active running took Yiyang away, but Yiyang found that Curry was far away from his teammates this time, and Bogut kept pressing under the basket and didn't go out, so there was no chance to play an elevator tactic at all.

It's true that Curry can't play elevator tactics, but who says that the person who executes elevator tactics this time must be Curry?

Clay. Thompson, the white-skinned player with black roots, suddenly made a backrun that made Tony . Allen, the defensive guru, was caught off guard.

But Tony has always been an outside defensive gatekeeper, and his reflexes are quick and he hasn't been left behind by Klay.

Thompson from David. Lee walked by side, and David. Lee snorted and handed it over. After handing the ball to Clay, David. Lee moved sideways a step while Harrison. Barnes also headed towards David. Lee moved closer. That's when Tony realized that this was still a damn elevator door tactic!

Tony. Aaron was taken by David. Lee and Barnes stopped desperately, and even if Tony had great ability, he couldn't pass through the bodies of the two players to stop Klay's shot. The latter hit a steady shot, but because he accidentally stepped on the line on his toes, the three points in his hand became two.

However, two points are better than no points. Clay shook his head in disappointment, but still had a smile on his face.

"The Mavericks' defense has been heavily challenged by elevator tactics, and I remember it was the most struggling Mavericks on the defensive end in the first month of the new season. If they weren't able to respond on the offensive end, the Warriors would likely have pulled the deficit apart in the first quarter. ”

Mike. Brin was right, and it was indeed the Mavericks' toughest game to defend. But there are a number of reasons for this, the Warriors' excellent tactical execution is one thing, and on the other hand, it's Mark. Jackson's elevator tactic is actually a tactic that hovers on the verge of fouling. It can even be said that he is foul.

If the Warriors' two screeners have to force the door "off" when the defenders are very close, the two screeners have actually formed a moving screen.

Last season, there was a clause in the league's blowing rules: when covering, if the defender has already made a move, the covering team must give space to land, otherwise it will be a covering foul. If this criterion is strictly followed, the Warriors' two "shutdowns" just now are enough to blow for offensive fouls.

But every referee in the league has their own set of scales, and they think that the Warriors' cover is acceptable, and the Mavericks will have to suffer this dumb loss.

Carlisle and the Mavericks players didn't complain about the referees, and the Warriors were using the rules effectively. If the referee blows, they don't use this tactic for the time being or use it less, and if the referee doesn't blow, they will naturally play the elevator tactic often to win an advantage.

The elevator tactics have actually caused a huge controversy, but now the alliance has not come up with a relatively complete system.

After the first quarter, the Warriors still used elevator tactics from time to time. But it is worth mentioning that several referees on duty today seem to approve of this tactic very much, and they have not blown a single mobile cover.

And just like that, Curry and Thompson got a lot of room to shoot three-pointers. And these two super shooters, took most of these opportunities.

It wasn't until the Warriors switched to a second team that their three-point rain finally stopped. But the Warriors have seized the initiative in the game at the Center Arena in the United States.

30-22, at the end of the first quarter, with the tolerance of the referees and the accurate three-point shooting of the Warriors' two guards, the Warriors almost widened the difference to double digits on the Mavericks in only 12 minutes!

This result was something that most people did not expect before the game. In the past month, the Mavericks have led their opponents by a lot in the first quarter. For the first time this season, the Mavericks were left behind in the first quarter.

"Stephen. Curry scored 12 points in the first quarter and shot 3-of-4 from three-point range. It seems that this No. 30 wants to snatch the crown from Yi's head in Dallas! ”

People think very highly of Curry, because just from the first quarter of the game, he did perform better than Yiyang.

"A bunch of blind referees!" Yiyang muttered to himself in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't just blame the referee for falling behind. Also aware of this is his manager Carlisle. As long as the team's tactics are properly arranged, even the referee has no way to completely control the game. The only ones who can control the basketball court are the players themselves!

"I know the first quarter was not going to be easy, guys. But trust me, the Warriors won't continue to be arrogant! When the players were off the pitch, Carlisle stood confidently in front of everyone.

"Listen up, second quarter, I need you to forget what the damn positional divisions are. Infinite change of guards, I want all of you to change guards infinitely! Carlisle said as he poked hard at the board. There's no offense, and the Mavericks' defense can't solve it.
