Chapter 166: Pure Five Small Lineup
"Hey! Harrison! You're going to let that rookie score on top of you? Green shouted at Barnes that he was clearly trying to knock the Clippers out of the game with what he had done in the preseason.
Barnes and Griffin are a bit alike, both of them are more moderate players, and they were yelled at by Green, didn't say anything, and just buried their heads and ran forward.
When it came to the frontcourt, he kept cutting in the air, Green found an opportunity, a wonderful pass to him, and he took advantage of the situation with a one-handed slam dunk.
Staples fans were in an uproar.
"Hey! Harrison! That's it! them! Green's big mouth didn't stop for a moment.
The Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai still beckoned Griffin to block and dismantle, and then rushed directly inside.
This time the person who switched guards was Green.
"Rookie, you can't break through!" Green stretched out his arms in a defensive stance, his mouth spitting non-stop.
Tang Shuai ignored Green, but he knew that Green was the master with a purple defensive bag, and he would definitely not be able to break through with such a hard burst, so after Green put on a defensive formation, he quickly took the first step to the right.
Green is a flexible interior big man, but his speed is much worse than that of a guard after all, and Tang Shuai's fast first step, he obviously can't keep up.
Tang Shuai accelerated suddenly, and Green had already been thrown out of a position.
The Warriors' help came quickly, and Barnes saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately wrapped it up.
Seeing this, Tang Shuai made an emergency stop, and then followed by a dry pull before the bag clamp was formed.
Maddie Dry Pull Pack Activation!
Picturesque pose.
The basketball was thrown out of his hand, crossed a perfect arc, and flew straight towards the basket.
Originally, when Tang Shuai made an emergency stop, he had already gotten rid of Green, and Barnes's supplementary defense had not yet come up, so it belonged to a vacant state, but after he shot, Green and Barnes had already rushed to his side, and then jumped up, so it gave people the feeling that they were facing a double bag shot.
"Huh!"
Dry pulling.
The fans cheered.
"Perfect! Charles, I finally know why you have to lose every gamble, you are really visionless, this Chinese kid is obviously a kid with explosive scoring potential! O'Neill laughed.
"Shaq, that's just luck, you look at it, the Warriors will take him seriously soon, and he won't have such an easy chance again." Barkley said stiffly.
The Clippers scored in consecutive rounds, and Wharton, who saw that the team had never been able to pull away, made a small adjustment to the lineup, replacing Azeri with Iguodala and playing the pure five-man lineup that the Warriors are best at.
The reason why the Warriors were able to reverse the Cavaliers in the finals last season to win the championship is that this unprecedented five-small lineup is their biggest hole card, among the five people, the center is only 2.01 meters tall Green, and the mobility is very high.
As soon as the five-small lineup came up, it played an amazing power, Green pulled Jordan Jr. to the outside, and the Warriors' air cut was like a bullet shot from a machine gun, one after another, the Clippers' defense was slightly distracted, Green hit the ground in, and Curry scored 2 points directly on a backhand layup.
Back to the offensive end, Tang Shuai decisively let his teammates pull away, and then gave the ball to Griffin on the inside, the five-small lineup must be much worse on the inside defense, and it is the wisest choice to let Griffin play alone at this time.
Tang Shuai's judgment was correct, but the reason why the Warriors dared to use this five-small lineup as a conventional weapon, obviously had more adequate preparation on the defensive end, Griffin just received the ball, Green immediately helped to defend it, and at the same time as Green assisted in defense, Curry on the outside also moved to the basket, and Iguodala also moved to the middle of the two offensive points of the Clippers on the outside, so as to achieve the effect of one defense and two.
Overall, it looks like the Warriors' defense is on the move, and they're using that movement to make up for the lack of interior defense.
Griffin was faced with a bag, and there was no chance to play alone, and he soon found that there was no chance to pass, so he had no choice but to turn and lean back.
Under the double bag, his shot finally jumped out of the basket.
Green grabbed the rebound, and the entire Warriors team was moving fast.
The Clippers quickly retreated, but Jordan Jr. and Griffin's speed was slow after all, and the Warriors made a few fast passes in the blink of an eye, Curry gave Thompson on the right, and Thompson hit a long-range two-point shot from a drift.
The Clippers met the big one at once. Troublesome.
Over the next few rounds, Don tried to attack on his own, but the Warriors adjusted their defense, letting Curry defend Redick and Iguodala defending him.
Against Iguodala, who was no slower than him, his weakened version of Maddie was useless when he pulled the bag, and it became extremely difficult to run an open three-point with his runs.
Barkley was right this time, as the defending champion, the Warriors reacted very quickly defensively, and there is an absolute defensive snail Iguodala in the team.
With a snap, Iguodala stole Redick's pass, raced to the frontcourt, and scored a layup before the whistle blew in the first quarter.
At 30:20, after the Warriors used their hole card five small lineup, the Clippers were a little dazed.
Tang Shuai gasped and walked off the court, this time against Curry was a little bit of a struggle for him, the skill package was two levels behind, even if he tried his best, it was difficult to achieve good results.
"Don, good job." Paul came over and patted him on the shoulder.
Tang Shuai shook his head bitterly, Paul was obviously comforting him.
But Paul didn't seem to just comfort him, and when he sat down, Paul followed, saying, "Don, you have to learn to trust and use your teammates, and you can't deal with guys like Stephen or Andre alone." ”
When Tang Shuai heard what Paul said, he immediately became focused, he knew that Paul had the habit of observing off the field, and he must have taught him some game experience at this time.
"Stephen is very fast, and unless you're absolutely sure you're going to be able to keep up with him, the Warriors' pick-and-roll will make you lose people in one fell swoop."
Tang Shuai nodded vigorously, he felt this deeply, when defending Curry, the Warriors' blocking and dismantling never stopped, and Curry ran over and over, even if he followed in front, the back would basically be blocked.
