Chapter 62: Blurring the Battle

On October 28, 2015, the NBA2015~2016 season officially started.

There were three matchups on the opening day.

The Cavaliers play the Bulls, and the Hawks challenge the Pistons.

The third game was last year's new championship Warriors hosting the Pelicans.

At around 10:00, after several hours of training, Jiang Lanyue uncharacteristically terminated all the activities of the school team and let the team members go to the locker room in advance to wash and rest.

At half past ten, all the players were assembled, and Jiang Lanyue led everyone to the small conference hall of the gymnasium, where they waited for the live broadcast of the Warriors' game.

"This game is the season debut of last year's champion Warriors, and I know you all want to see it." In the entire team, except for Chen Zhi, who doesn't seem to pay special attention to the NBA, almost everyone is NBA fans, which she knows very well, and the topics that the players usually chat about are always inseparable from NBA stars.

Before the start of training this morning, she heard Gu Fei and Qin Zhou muttering there, "Today's NBA regular season has started, but unfortunately I can't watch the live broadcast", "James has a back injury, I don't know if he will play today", "The Warriors are going to award championship rings at home today!" ”

They chatted, and there were more and more team members gathered around them, and almost all of them participated in the chat, except for Li Xuedong, who was not very social, even Chen Zhi listened to it for a while.

"However, I have a special request for you in today's game." Jiang Lanyue looked at the people in front of her and said.

"Team leader, the game is about to start, what do you ask for, hurry up!" Gu Fei urged.

Jiang Lanyue smiled: "I hope that when you watch the game, you will blur the players on the field." ”

"Blurring the players on the field? What is fuzziness? Qin Zhou asked puzzledly, do you want to watch the most unclear "standard definition" broadcast?

Oh, my God! That's torture! With this kind of live broadcast of picture quality, he would rather choose not to watch it.

Besides, he has a Tencent Sports member, and he can watch the highest HD picture quality, and the network speed in the small conference hall is not bad, so there is no need to watch the blurred game in SD.

Jiang Lanyue shook her head: "Blurring the players has nothing to do with the quality of the live broadcast. I want you to look at each player as an origin when you watch the game, just like the number 1 to the number 5 on the tactical board, five players are five solid dots, and two teams of players are ten dots! ”

"Is this for us to learn the Warriors' tactics?" Gu Fei said in surprise that so far, this school team has indeed not conducted any tactical training.

Chen Zhi also asked Jiang Lanyue before, she only said that the cart cannot be reversed, and at this stage, the players are exercising, solid skills and even familiar with each other is what the team urgently needs.

"If you learn Warriors tactics through a game, will you learn it? Brains are a good thing! Qin Zhou couldn't help but sneer, "Thinking with your toes, you also know that this is impossible!" ”

"It's impossible to learn their tactics, even when the Warriors center Bogut is on the floor, the Warriors still have four players who can shoot three-pointers, and the three-point shots are very threatening, not to mention that even the big center Bogut, each of them can pass the ball, and this quality is far from being achieved." Jiang Lanyue said that she seems to know the Warriors very well.

After a short pause, she continued: "I want you to feel the spatial sense of the players on the field by blurring them, and also pay attention to the timing of their players' cross-action runs. ”

When Chen Zhi heard this, he roughly understood Jiang Lanyue's intentions, this kind of vague way of watching the game is actually the most helpful for point guard players, because the point guard is the commander on the court, and to have a clear judgment of the situation on the court, this requires an outstanding overall view.

"In this game, Warriors head coach Kerr was absent due to injury, and assistant coach Wharton Jr. temporarily took over the position of interim head coach, the assistant coach is the son of former NBA star Bill Wharton, Da Yao and Bill Wharton have a very good relationship, and old fans should know that they don't know if his son can be qualified for this position." The game was about to start, and the host began to introduce the two teams.

"Actually, I'm not worried about head coach injuries, the Warriors, in the hands of former head coach Mark Jackson and current head coach Steve Kerr, have developed their own style, and they have a very good locker room atmosphere, and everyone wants to be the head coach of this kind of team."

The commentator and the guests chatted eloquently, and the game officially began.

After all, Chen Zhi paid little attention to the NBA, and he didn't know much about what they said, but looking at Gu Fei's involuntary nodding, he thought that he agreed very much with the words of the two.

For the current Warriors team, Chen Zhi still has a basic understanding, after all, their name is too loud, the backcourt combination is the famous "Splash Brothers", the top three-pointers in the league, Curry, who was elected MVP of the regular season, naturally needless to say, another member of the Splash Brothers "Klay Thompson" In addition to an outstanding three-pointer, the tall body can be said to have an advantage in the position, especially on the defensive end.

In the current situation of the fading of the first percentile, the bearded James Harden and the Klay Thompson, known as the "Tang God", are the two strong contenders in the first quartile.

It is conceivable how strong the backcourt of this Warriors team is, an MVP, a top two, and even the first quantile that many fans think! Because James Harden's performance on the defensive end has really made many fans who pay attention to defense criticize.

Elsewhere, the small forward is Harrison Barnes, the so-called "North Carolina Black Hawks", the power forward is the famous big-mouthed Draymond Green, and the center is the 2005 NBA draft pick Andrew Bogut from Australia.

Australian players are a special group in the NBA, and they are loved by coaches of various teams, because they have a tough style of play and can do a lot of dirty work, but in the eyes of fans, they are more disgusting, "dirty" has almost become synonymous with them, and there are many small actions.

Comparatively speaking, the Pelicans have a shabby lineup because of injury problems. In addition to Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon is a more well-known player.

Other players such as Cunningham, Parkinson and Nate Robinson Jr. are almost in the twilight of their careers and could be eliminated from the NBA at any time.

Gu Fei and others are very familiar with NBA stars, although they try their best to watch the game according to Jiang Lanyue's requirements, they always enter the fan state unconsciously, and then suddenly remember the requirements of the team leader.

This feeling makes them very entangled, especially when Curry is in a hot state, scoring 24 points in the first quarter, which is higher than the normal score of many star players.

Chen Zhi didn't feel this way, in his mind, everyone became the dots that Jiang Lanyue said, of course, he focused on the five players of the Warriors.

Their positioning on the court has opened up a lot of space, mainly with a strong three-point threat. Curry, a three-point shooter who defended the sky, frequently cut to the basket and scored easy layups. The other players also ran frequently when Curry was holding the ball, cutting to the basket and running backwards beyond the three-point line.

In Chen's eyes, the positions of the five dots are constantly changing, but they always maintain sufficient dynamic space positions to maximize the three-point threat.

After countless attempts, Gu Fei finally became a fan.

Every three-pointer Curry makes him howl!

However, Thompson didn't feel particularly good, and he failed to score two three-point attempts, but this had little impact on the Warriors. Because Curry was so good, and it seems that because of this, Thompson hid his limelight, and only took 8 shots in the whole game.

Curry easily scored 40 points, shooting 53.8% from the field, 41% from three-point range, and had seven assists, six rebounds and two steals.

Seeing the end, Gu Fei kept muttering, cute god, please accept my knees!

Pelicans big man Anthony Davis "Thick Eyebrows" has a bad feeling in this game, and he is assigned by the coach to defend Curry many times, facing the mad dog-like Draymond Green on the offensive end, and Bogut, who has outstanding defensive awareness, is completely lost in the iron.

4 of 20 shots in the whole game, the shooting rate is a miserable 20%, as a No. 4 power forward, especially a star power forward of the level of Brother Thick Mei, this data is more than miserable!

Even the rebounds were beaten by the small man Curry, who also scored 6 rebounds, but only one frontcourt rebound, Curry had 3 frontcourt rebounds. After all, the value of frontcourt rebounds is relatively higher than that of backcourt rebounds.

Today, Warriors leader Stephen Curry can say that he has exploded "Brother Thick Eyebrows"!

While Pelicans came off the bench with Ismael Smith putting in a great performance, contributing 17 points and nine assists, it was nowhere near enough to complete the savior.

The Warriors got off to a good start with 111:95 without any suspense!

During this period, the host also presented the results of the other two games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, led by Emperor James Jr., lost 95-97 to the Chicago Bulls, who were playing at home.

James, who was plagued by a back injury, scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, Kevin Love had 18 points and 8 rebounds, and the main point guard Kyrie Irving was absent.

Injured in the corner of the eye, Derrick Rose, the "Windy City Rose" who appeared with a white mask, had 18 points and 5 assists, the rising Jimmy Butler scored 17 points, and Nikola Mirotic, who was put into the starting lineup by new coach Hoiberg, had 19 points and 9 rebounds, which can be said to have played a huge role in the small upset of the Bulls Cavaliers' narrow victory.

There was also an upset in the Detroit Pistons' game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Andre Drummond grabbed 19 rebounds and led the team to a 106-94 away victory over the Hawks, who had just won a team-record 60 wins last season and were known as the "Eastern Spurs".

After watching this game, the school team went to the cafeteria to eat.

Chen Zhi didn't know how the other players experienced after watching this game, he really felt that he had benefited a lot, and sure enough, Jiang Lanyue's words made a lot of sense, "Basketball is a game about position!" ”

In particular, Curry relied on the three-point threat and got countless opportunities to easily break through to the inside, which made Chen Zhi extremely envious of this projection ability.

After this, Jiang Lanyue finally began to conduct tactical training for the school team.

However, she did not train offensive tactics first, but began to practice defensive tactics "2-3" joint defense!

In Jiang Lanyue's words, "This is the No. 1 Divine Formation in the CUBA arena, learn it first, and then crack it!" ”
