Chapter 140: Two Running Teams

How the Warriors could be a match for the Lakers, which was hardly a question last season. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

One is a veteran powerhouse with five championships in the Kobe era, and the other is a 10,000-year-old fish belly who has not won a championship for 40 years.

However, this time, it is only the gap between the first and fourth places in the West.

At the same time, the Golden State Warriors, who have lost three in a row, urgently need to rebound, and although the Lakers are a strong opponent, it is also an opportunity for the Warriors and Curry.

If they can win against this formidable opponent, then the Warriors will definitely get back on track.

And for the Warriors, it's not like there's no chance. This year's Western Conference has been a strong match, with the top teams winning by a small margin.

And the Lakers also have all kinds of problems, although their lineup is bluffing, but the run-in problem is very serious. The Big Four also have their own faults.

There was a poor coordination between Kobe Bryant and Howard because of the right to fire. Kobe Bryant needs a lot of the ball, and Howard naturally needs a lot of the ball as a center. And Kobe Bryant habitually goes it alone, and Howard is naturally dissatisfied when he can't get the ball.

Nash is too old, already at the end of his crossbow arsenal, and plagued by injuries.

Pau Gasol's form has also been up and down.

WORLDPEACE Artest's state also continues to decline, getting older, the defensive state is not good, and the offensive end is also continuing to be sluggish.

And Kobe Bryant still maintains his style of playing, which obviously has an impact on the current team lineup.

And tactically, the Lakers' current tactics are also very problematic. Their current head coach is D'Antoni, who is known for his run-and-gun system.

The Lakers let D'Antoni as the coach and signed Nash in the Suns' bombardment system that year, which seems to be going to be iron-hearted to go to the bombardment system.

But are you sure the Lakers' old bunch will be able to run?

The so-called "run-and-bomb" tactics refer to a kind of basketball tactical thinking that takes high-speed and smooth rotation movement as the main tactical feature, emphasizes the speed of offensive and defensive conversion, and partially sacrifices the offensive and defensive ability of the half-court position. In the NBA, the run-and-gun tactics were most prominent in the Suns in the 2005-2006 season.

And the head coach of that Suns team is D'Antoni, and the tactical core of the team is Stephen Nash.

The measure of whether a team is "running and shooting" is mainly based on whether its scoring method is based on sports fast break or solid half-court attack.

Nash is old, and Kobe Bryant is not in shape. Howard and Gasol are inherently slow players, they are clearly better at positional offense, how can they possibly adapt to D'Antoni's bombardment system?!

The first goal of the "run and bomb" is speed. Running tirelessly is a weapon that drags down your enemies - at least when you're bombarding all the way. Very few people can keep up with the rhythm of a "run-and-shoot" team, unless it is also "run-and-roll". This offense-to-defense tactic often results in an extraordinary game and a big win over the opponent - which is also a guarantee of the excitement of the NBA game. Again, offense wins fans, defense wins championships.

But while appreciating the heat of the game, it's easy to forget that speed is also a double-edged sword, dragging down your enemies as well as your own. When the wind is good, fatigue is often overlooked, and the physical problems of the pursuer are always the first to manifest themselves; But if the opponent is prepared for it, if the opponent uses a tenacious defense to suppress your attack speed from the start, causing the fast attacker to reduce the frequency and change the pace, then the "Run-and-Bomb" team will be the first to collapse.

Another important point of the "run-and-bomb" tactic is "boom", that is, the dependence on mid-to-long-range shots. They must have a large number of pitchers with a scoring guarantee.

Although the bombardment tactic has various limitations in practice, it is quite feasible in the regular season. Because no team is going to fight for a regular-season victory, change their defense, change their tactics, and deal with the run-and-gun system.

In the 05-06 and 06-07 seasons, the Suns were played by Stoudemier, who was a standard power forward and played style, Steve Nash was in charge of the backcourt, and the frontcourt was equipped with Marion and other speed offensive players.

The Suns' five starters performed amazingly, they were able to contribute 90+ points per game together, ranking first among the starting five of all teams in the league, and at the same time, they also drove the offensive ability of the entire team, making the Suns the best scoring team in the league. Their tactics are simple, everyone knows what they need to do and doesn't have too many ideas.

The Suns' tactical routine is not complicated, in short, it is a "fast" word. Nash's Suns don't pursue complex passing combinations to create open shots, but keep the ball in motion as much as possible, not letting go of any shots, and every player can be the initiator of the offense and the finisher of the offense.

This may seem simple, but not every team can do it. For example, Howard and Gasol of this Laker, they are both good players, but they are not very good playmakers. Including Kobe, they don't fit well with the run-and-gun system.

There are a lot of veterans and two excellent interior players playing and shooting, and I don't know what the Lakers think. The current Lakers are also struggling under the bombardment system, because they will run themselves down.

The Golden State Warriors have been a run-and-hit team, including the Black Eight Miracle in 2008. The Warriors also relied on tireless running to bring down the Dallas Mavericks.

The Warriors were Nelson Sr. head coach before Matt Jackson. Although D'Antoni is best known for his Suns, it was Don Nelson who pioneered it.

Nelson Sr. is known for his revolutionary offensive side, his small-ball tactics are famous, although he is already in his advanced age, but he is the vanguard of the revolutionary faction, known as the "mad scientist" because Don Nelson is eclectic in his use of people, often will line up very weird lineups, and he arranges to play playmaking guards with the height of the center. Or completely abandon the center and power forward. Abandon defense, bombardment of pure small lineups, and so on. In short, it's a weird lineup.

Under Matt Jackson's reforms, the Warriors have become more defensive, but have also inherited the small ball strategy of the elder Nelson.

Tactically, the Warriors seem to be the only team in the league to consistently use this tactic. The Suns, including the Suns, also abandoned the tactic after losing several key players to the run-and-gun lineup.

Because he is so extreme, many people even say that teams that play small ball can't go far in the playoffs.

And the Phoenix Suns, who have used this tactic to the extreme, have been losing in the playoffs in a row, which seems to confirm this. And now D'Antoni wants to transfer the run-and-gun system to this Laker, which is destined to not achieve good results.

In tonight's game, the Warriors feel they have a good chance.

The evening game started at eight o'clock, and Duan Tianqing still had time to go home for a meal first.

"Huo Dazui, are you going to watch the game?!" Duan Tianqing invited Huo Liuyun at the dining table.

"Basketball, I played it a few times when I was in college, but it wasn't interesting, they always told me to cheat." Huo Liuyun said nostalgically.

"I can almost imagine how you fight!" Chen Nuan shook his head and said.

"Senior Brother Huo, let's go together! You can still see Kobe Bryant today! And if you don't go, you'll be left at home! Aunt Li will also go with us! ”

"Hehe, I only know Kobe, Yao Ming, I want to see a real person! Xiaoqing, will you see Yao Ming tonight? Aunt Li asked very layman.

“。。。 Aunt Li, what you asked was really unexpected, you are also from my family, how can you have some basketball knowledge! Yao Ming has retired a long time ago, and today we are playing the Lakers, what does it have to do with Yao Ming?! Duan Tianqing said helplessly.

"Don't say it, it's past six o'clock, let's go, let's go!" When it comes to going to see the ball, Phil is more anxious than anyone else.

In the end, there were still a lot of five people in Duan Tianqing's party.

As a rising star for the Warriors, tickets are not a problem for him at all. Even if the arrival of the Lakers today left the Warriors' home court almost full.

"Wow, so many people today?!" Duan Tianqing and his party came to the Oracle Arena, and Duan Tianqing actually had a feeling of going home. After a few days of absence, today's Oracle Arena is full of people.

As a spectator, Duan Tianqing came to Oracle Arena to watch the Warriors game, and it was the first time for Duan Tianqing.

"Hey, Sanfat, you go park, Phil and I go to the locker room to have a look!" Duan Tianqing said commandingly.

"I'm not your driver, you're so embarrassed to let me park!" Chen Wannuan rolled down the window and said angrily.

"Nonsense, only you can drive! Okay, you can take Huo Liuyun and Aunt Li first! Phil wants to visit the locker room, let's check it out! Duan Tianqing said this, Chen Yunuan didn't say anything, and drove to the parking lot.

“yeah! gogogo! Go to the locker room, the classmates in our class will definitely be envious! Phil jumped and walked.

"Hmph, of course, few people have a chance to go to the locker room!" Duan Tianqing said with some pride.

Under heavy security, it is difficult for the average spectator to enter the players' tunnel. After all, the locker room is full of stars, and they are always more expensive than the average person.

"Hey, man, you're guarding the door today!?" Duan Tianqing slapped his hands with a security guard at the door.

"Oh, Duan, my brother! You haven't been here in days! The security guards were also smiling.

Duan Tianqing has a good relationship with these grassroots personnel of the warriors, he has almost no shelf, and he does not look down on these low-level staff because of their different identities.

This made many ordinary people who worked at the grassroots level of the Warriors, from security guards to cheerleaders, very fond of him.

"yes, I'm banned, I'm in a bad mood!" Duan Tianqing spread his hands and said.

"It's okay, you have to know that we are all on your side!"

"Haha, thank you! I'll go check it out first! Duan Tianqing took Phil and said.

"Okay, go slowly!" Keller looked at Duan Tianqing and Phil's backs.

"Who is this little kid?!" Keller muttered to himself, his gossip heart burning.

"Wow, that's what the player tunnel looks like?!" Phil looked around curiously.

Along the way, almost everyone took the initiative to greet Duan Tianqing. This also shows his status in the team, even if he is suspended, it does not affect his popularity in the slightest.

"Wow, master, look! Hey your poster! "On one wall is a poster of the current Warriors, with Duan Tianqing in the center on the right.

On the other side of the wall are some of the most prominent contributors in Warriors history, including Rick Barry, Chamberlain and others.

The posters on one side of the passage change from time to time, but on the other side, they remain unchanged for decades. And all the Warriors players want their pictures to hang on another wall.

"Got it! Can I still not know myself?! Duan Tianqing looked at Phil's appearance and said with some amusement.

This quirky little ghost rarely acts like a normal child. And now, she behaves like a normal little fan.

"Okay, hurry up and go to the locker room, you can still catch up with that guy's pre-war mobilization work, otherwise, you'll have to visit the empty locker room!" Duan Tianqing pulled Phil.

"Uh-huh! Good! "Phil was unusually obedient today.

At this time, just as Duan Tianqing thought, the warriors were in the final pre-war mobilization.

“。。。 They are strong, and the same weaknesses are not less! Most of you probably grew up watching them play, Drummond, and I know you're a fan of Kobe Bryant, who won the championship when you were eight years old! But you also have to calm down! Although you can't play today, what does it look like to go straight to the Lakers locker room to ask for an autograph? At least we'll have to wait until the game is over! ”

"I'm not playing again, I want to invite him to dinner when the game is over!" Green whispered. Green also came to watch the game today, but he didn't expect to be caught in and lectured. He's a bit of a nondescript guy standing in the middle of a crowd of Warriors players in a suit.

"What did you say?!" Matt Jackson's eyes widened.

"Nothing, you go on!" Green immediately said with a look of respect.

"Today is important and I think you all understand what this game means to us, we have lost three in a row before! It's none of us this season! I... ”

At that moment, another voice outside the door interrupted Matt Jackson.

"Everyone's dressed, a lady is coming in!" Duan Tianqing's frivolous voice was very recognizable.

"Duan is here?!" Green said in surprise. He immediately ran to open the door.

Curry smiled, and the other players of the Warriors also showed expressions of surprise, Duan Tianqing also hadn't shown up for several days, and it seemed that he was here to cheer them on today.

Matt Jackson has a gloomy face, this guy didn't forget to find me something to do when he was banned.
