Chapter 623: Core Playing Style

"Don't be nervous, remember what I've been stressing to you before, our opponents are the same players as us, they make mistakes, their rotation is not without holes, what you have to do is just run the tactical position, that's the basics, understand?" Billups looked around at the starting five and said loudly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The lack of tacit understanding on the court has a lot to do with the mentality, in fact, if you change to any other team now, the Warriors will become like a mountain for them this season, and it is not easy to play at a normal level.

"We don't have anything to lose, it's normal for us to lose, so don't be nervous, don't be nervous, okay?" Billups raised his voice again.

Billups' words worked, and the tension of the players eased considerably, and he then pulled out the tactical board: "Let's try again......"

Coming back from a timeout, the Lakers take a throw-in.

After Don received the ball, Batum and Dunty went up to block and Mike Dermott moved to the bottom corner.

"Bottom corner, pay attention to the bottom corner!" Kerr watched from the sidelines, directly reminding his teammates loudly.

Tang Shuai took advantage of Deng's blocking and dismantling to go inside, and after switching to Green, he glanced at the bottom corner position and saw that Durant had already helped defend it, he did not choose to pass, but suddenly accelerated, and used his speed to directly pass Green.

This came down quite quickly, and at the moment of being passed, Green seemed to unconsciously recall the embarrassing scenes of last season's playoffs.

After Tang Shuai passed Green, he saw that Pachulia didn't come to make up for the defense, and directly made an accelerated low-handed layup, and the basketball slid into the basket along the rebound.

The atmosphere at the scene was obviously suppressed.

After Tang Shuai scored, he turned around and signaled his teammates to quickly retreat.

Van Gundy looked thoughtfully on the court, and as a head coach-turned-commentator, the Lakers' offense made him see something, but it didn't seem so certain.

The Warriors' offense, Durant borrowed Green's block again, but this time, Curry chose to pass the ball to Thompson who ran on the other side, because the Lakers' defensive center was pinned down by Durant, and Thompson received the ball and scored directly to the basket.

The Warriors' offense was perfect.

Tang Shuai then held the ball to the front court, reached out and made a tactical gesture, Batum and Mike DeMott lifted the pick-and-roll, he took advantage of Mike Dermott's block to go inside, and Mike Dermott dismantled the ball and went outside the three-point line.

Curry was pinned down by Mike Dermott to the three-point line, Don Shuai rushed in again, and Thompson resisted him.

Tang Shuai saw that the Warriors still didn't help defense, he suddenly exerted his strength, concentrated the strength of his whole body on his feet, and leaned against Thompson to exert a force.

This force came very suddenly, and Thompson was squeezed away by him.

And squeezing away is squeezing through, Tang Shuai's foot strength did not stop, and he rushed into the inside line with an acceleration, and easily dunked the ball into the basket with one hand before Pachuria's help defense came.

The scene was agitated.

After 2 mistakes in the opening game, Tang Shuai scored 2 goals in a row after returning from a pause.

"The Warriors have been a little hesitant to defend during this time, and they want to tighten the limit on Don's breakthrough." Barry spoke.

Van Gundy didn't speak at this time, he looked up at Billups, who was sitting still in the Lakers coach's seat, with a somewhat complicated expression.

In fact, after Wharton left the Lakers, the Lakers also sent him an invitation, because he felt that the Lakers were too chaotic and hesitated, but he took the lead than Loops, which was nothing, but he still regretted it when he saw the 4-year 40 million contract, so he cooperated with Barry at the beginning to ridicule, but the layman looked at the lively insider's doorway, and what Billups is showing now makes him a little upset.

The Warriors' offense, Green held the ball at the top of the arc, Durant and Curry ran around the baseline, and Curry caused a foul on Noore's beater when he received Green's pass and made a layup.

After hitting both free throws, the Warriors took a 6-4 lead.

The Lakers' offense is still dominated by Tang Shuai, he went to the frontcourt, Deng and Batum were on to Tang Shuai to block and dismantle, and Tang Shuai took advantage of Deng's block to burst in.

His defender was again switched to Green.

Because it was a two-way pick-and-roll, the Warriors didn't dare to wrap it up right away, which allowed him to always face one-man defense after the pick-and-roll.

He accelerated forward, and at this time Pachulia under the basket didn't dare to put it anymore, he had already lost two balls in a row like this, and it would be a shame for him to throw it again.

However, after all, Pachulia is a veteran of the league for many years, although he is a co-defense, but he waves his hands up and down, which is to prevent Tang Shuai from distributing the ball to Noll under the basket.

This is a front and rear wrap-up defense, which directly locks the route of Tang Shuai's breakthrough.

"It's a perfect complement that has locked Don's route one after the other, and with enough visual interference, the ball can't find the right passing angle." Barry said excitedly from the commentary bench that he was surprised by the Warriors' help defense and rotation.

However, at the moment when Pachulia and Green's bag was about to form a circle, Tang Shuai raised his right hand, and the ball that was originally in his hand suddenly disappeared, and appeared in the upper left side of the basket in the next second.

Impartiality, not forward, not backward, right in front of Knoll.

Noll flew to his feet, grabbed the basketball in the air, and slammed the ball down.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Tang Shuai and Noel completed the air relay!

The scene was in an uproar.

The winning streak has not only made the Aucklanders forget what it was like to lose, but have even forgotten how long ago there were teams wreaking havoc above them.

Barry was excited, he didn't expect Tang Shuai to be able to pass such an accurate air catch when he could barely see his teammates.

Van Gundy smiled bitterly, after the opening few rounds, he finally figured out Billups's style of play, that is, with Tang Shuai as the core.

Tang Shuai's ability has been fully utilized, and it has been proved that Tang Shuai's ability to take on great responsibilities is not only reflected in his ability, but also in his ball business.

Billups has given Tang Shuai full trust and given him enough dominance on the field, and Tang Shuai is able to make the right judgment every time and use his ability to the maximum, which is what makes Van Gundy feel really terrifying.

The body can be trained, but the brain can't.

In the next round, the Warriors' offense, Durant once again faced. shot Batum to hit the iron, and after turning around, Tang Shuai used the breakthrough to attract the bag, and then gave the ball to Mike Dermott in the bottom corner.

Mike Dermott withstood Durant's interference from his long arm and hit a three-pointer.

Cole was forced to call a short timeout.

After the goal, Mike Dermott looked extremely excited, and rushed over to bump his chest with Tang Shuai.

9-6, after a 5-0 offensive wave, the Lakers dominated the game and led the Warriors, which surprised everyone.

Billups's style of play, which completely revolves around Tang Shuai's attack, is also eye-catching.

"We need to shrink the defense, cut off the passing lane between Don and his teammates, and let him score alone, but we definitely can't let the Lakers open up the whole team." During the timeout, Kerr stressed loudly to his players.

After the timeout, the Lakers took the lead and the defense was in full swing, and Durant's empty layup was blocked by the efforts of Deng and Noll.

In the Lakers' offensive round, the Warriors adjusted their defensive strategy and defended a 2-1-1 defense.

There are many ways to defend together, and most of them are 3-2 joint defense and 2-3 joint defense, both of which have a defensive focus, but they are all derived from the balanced form of 2-1-2 joint defense.

This defensive style was first invented and most exploited, and he was able to form a situation of more defense and less in a short period of time, and if one of the players was slow to pass the ball, it was likely to put the attacking team in a dead ball.

Seeing this defense, Tang Shuai directly called Batum and Mike Dermott to two 45-degree angles.

The most effective way to crack a 2-1-2 defense is to shoot three-pointers.

After the two positions were moved, Tang Shuai immediately gave the ball to Batum.

As soon as Batum received the ball, Curry and Thompson, who were leading the defense on the outside, began to move to the left.

Batum immediately passed the ball to Tang Shuai, Tang Shuai didn't take the ball, and directly tossed the ball to the right against the passing ball, which felt like playing volleyball.

The scene was in an uproar.

When facing a joint defense, the speed of the pass time represents the number of opportunities, and this time, Curry and Thompson did not have time to return to the defense, and Mike Dermott got an open three-point opportunity.

Green on the inside flew out, but it was too late.

Mike Dermott makes a three-point shot.

"Bang!"

Mike Dermott couldn't hit back-to-back shots, and the rebound was pocketed by Pachuria, who was stuck in position.

"Retreat! Retreat! ”

Tang Shuai did not have any emotional changes because he didn't score, and immediately beckoned his teammates to retreat.

The three people on the outside took the lead in retreating, because they were expanding out, and the speed of retreat was very fast, and Pachulia had no chance to pass the fast-attacking ball, so he could only give it to Curry.

Curry carried the ball to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Green, and he came to a three-man cross-run with Durant and Thompson, dazzling the people who looked directly, and the Lakers' defense was also stirred into a pot of porridge.

Green saw an opportunity to hit Curry, who pulled a layup to score points.

A large part of the Warriors' achievements this season is that the power of these three shots on the court at the same time is too strong, originally, Curry and Thompson's double shots have been a headache for defenders, and now it is three shots, and all of them are played without the ball, no matter how good your defense is, as long as one does not keep up, it will be an opportunity immediately.

The Lakers' defense is very strong, but after all, it has just been formed, and it is basically impossible to keep up completely.

However, the Lakers couldn't hold it, but the offensive end continued.

This time, Batum seized the opportunity and shot the ball into the basket before Pachuria's help came up.

The two sides played for more than half a quarter, and the game was 24-23, and the newly formed Lakers team was on par with the Warriors, who had won 20 consecutive games.
