Chapter 815: Arrogance and Surprise

"Beautiful boarding, this is Tim Duncan's specialty!"

When Tim Duncan received Meng Xu's pass and hit it with his trademark 45-degree board after the start of the game, the AT&T Center Arena immediately boiled, and Kenny Smith on the courtside commentary bench did not hesitate to praise Duncan.

Just when the cheers of the audience have not dissipated, the Warriors who sent out the baseline ball have been running rapidly, since the old Nelson era, the run-and-bomb tactics have been integrated into the blood of the Warriors, when it comes to the Warriors, the first thing that comes to people's minds is the attack like a wind, but after Mark Jackson took office, the Warriors' tactical system began to change, although the Warriors are still insisting on the small-ball tactics, but compared with the 7-second limit offense in the old Nelson era, The current Warriors are undoubtedly much slower.

After Stephen Curry quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, the Warriors players who had arrived at the frontcourt one after another began to run according to the Warriors' established tactics.

In the face of Tony Parker's defense, Curry did not choose to attack, but called Andrew Bogut's block, after getting rid of Tony Parker's defense through the block, Curry quickly moved along the top of the arc to the left side of the court, and after encountering Burrece Dior's defense, Curry passed the basketball back to Draymond Green, who had appeared near the free throw line to respond, and he continued to move along the three-point line to the left side of the court, in the process of running, Curry took advantage of the situation to make an off-ball screen for Klay Thompson, and after this series of screens and coordination, the Spurs' defensive positioning has begun to become chaotic.

Draymond Green and Klay Thompson both have misplaced offensive opportunities now, but the Warriors players on the court are not in a hurry to end the offense, but continue to rotate and run, trying to find better opportunities, through the cover between Curry and get rid of Kawhi Leonard, who has been following him, Klay Thompson ran directly with Burrece Dio to the bottom corner on the right side of the court, and Harrison Barnes, who was originally on the right side of the court, after seeing Klay Thompson's running directionand began to move in the opposite direction of Klay Thompson's.

After Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes completed the crossover run, Draymond Green, who was holding the ball near the free throw line, quickly handed the basketball in his hand to Harrison Barnes, who was already running to the top of the arc.

And Curry, who took Kawhi Leonard around in a big circle, suddenly passed through the gap between Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut when he ran to the edge of the paint area, and the moment Curry passed, Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut each moved a step towards each other, blocking Kawhi Leonard, who was following Curry.

Curry, who was already completely empty, turned around directly after receiving a pass from Harrison Barnes, stepped back and hit a shot from outside the three-point line.

"Pretty, that's it, Stephen!" After Curry hit a three-point shot in the open position, Mark Jackson, who had been standing on the sidelines and was in a nervous mood, instantly shouted a few words excitedly to the court, although this was just an ordinary offense, but in this offense, the Warriors' tactical running position has been fully played, as long as the Warriors players on the court can always stick to the tactics they formulated before the game, then the Warriors are very likely to come to create a surprise for the Spurs.

"Very good passing and positioning, the Warriors' positioning and coordination in this round just now are completely different from their running-and-shooting tactics in the regular season, or this is a new tactical system!"

In just one round, the Warriors showed everyone on the scene the difference between them and the traditional small-ball tactics, although their offensive speed has slowed down, but their offensive efficiency has not decreased much, because what they are now pursuing is not to use speed to drag down the opponent, but to use non-stop rotation and running to find the best opportunity to shoot, it is obvious that Mark Jackson's tailor-made tactics for Steve Curry are clearly different from the traditional small-ball tactics.

"This guy is hiding quite deeply." Popovich, who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, was obviously surprised by the Warriors' tactics after the opening, because in the round just now, the Spurs' defense was completely broken through by the Warriors.

Although in the regular season, the Spurs did not regard the Warriors as their competitors, but after the Warriors eliminated the Nuggets, Popovich still did some targeted research on the Warriors, but whether it was in the regular season or in the first round of the series with the Nuggets, the Warriors have never used this set of tactics, if this set of tactics is the killer weapon used by Mark Jackson to deal with the Spurs, then this guy and his team are a little scary, because if Popovich's speculation is true, That undoubtedly means that the Warriors eliminated the Nuggets who were third in the West without doing their best, and the sixth in the West played the third in the West, and they still hid their strength, so Mark Jackson is really arrogant.

However, as the third-ranked player in the NBA's all-time assist list, in his second season as a coach, Mark Jackson, who led a group of rookies to the division semifinals, does have arrogant capital, in fact, after Mark Jackson took over the Warriors' first season, Mark Jackson understood that relying on run-and-gun tactics will never get ahead, so Mark Jackson decided to use the existing players in his hands to start anew, on the basis of run-and-gun tactics, Developed a tactic that maximizes the efficiency of both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and that tactic is what Mark Jackson calls an elevator door offensive tactic.

Although in the regular season, the Warriors have been practicing this tactic in training, but in the case of no playoff spots, Mark Jackson decided to use this tactic as the last killer weapon of the Warriors, wanting to surprise his opponent in the playoffs, but he didn't expect the Warriors' opponent in the first round to be too vegetable, so Mark Jackson decided to leave this surprise to the opponent in the semifinals, that is, the Spurs.
