Chapter 127: The Battle for the Top of the List (4)
Iguodala missed a three-point shot, and Porzingis easily grabbed a defensive rebound, handed it to Grant, and slowly advanced to the front court as the eight seconds were about to run out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Warriors' five-man lineup strategically gives up the scramble for rebounds in the frontcourt, and once they miss a shot, they quickly fold back and invest on the defensive end, with a lightning-fast pace.
But the Knicks in front of him played as steadily as Mount Tai, almost every attack had to exhaust 24 seconds of offensive time, and the same was true for offensive and defensive transitions, after the Warriors players missed the shot, they quickly returned to the defense, but they stood in the front court and waited for almost 4 to 5 seconds, and the Knicks' point guard dribbled over the half.
It's like an impatient personality encountering an unhurried one, let your eyebrows burn and your lungs explode, I come from the breeze and stand still, in short, the Knicks just slow down as much as possible, as slow as they can.
The period between the Warriors' players returning to the Knicks dribbling over half court was almost enough for the Warriors to organize a fast break, so the Warriors' players were extremely impatient in the frontcourt, not only that, but the Knicks' passing ball was complex and lengthy, meticulous and patient, and when the 24-second offensive time was about to run out, Porzingis received the ball inside, turned and hooked to hit the equalizer.
“weave,weave。”
Kerr sat on the bench, distraught by the Knicks' slow pace, and as Curry dribbled past half court, Kerr suddenly stood up, walked to the sideline, and yelled at Curry.
Sure enough, Curry passed the ball to Thompson near the left free-throw line in the halftime, and then ran around the three-point line to the left 45-degree near the three-point line.
Thompson received the ball and moved around the top of the circle to the right, at this time, Green in the bottom right corner ran back, and Thompson passed Green with his hand.
At the same time, Curry ran backwards from the left, Green dribbles to the left, and the moment he makes contact with Curry, he passes to Curry in the same way that Thompson's pass gives him.
This is a tactic often used by the Warriors in half-court positional battles, the English name is weave, which translates to a roundabout tactic, which is to create outside shooting space through non-stop roundabout backruns and hand-to-hand passes.
Curry received Green's hand-to-hand pass, seized the opportunity of instant cross-misalignment, pulled up and pushed, the ball took off very high, drew an arch-bridge-like arc, hollowed into the basket, drove the Nets, and brushed a crisp sound.
“mvp,mvp。”
The cheers of the home fans followed, and after Curry scored, he shook his fingers and looked relaxed, which seemed to be very useful for the shouts of the fans.
Wang Zhuo was a little apprehensive in his heart, Curry's three-point shooting is not the most terrible, once the terrible Curry is thrown, it will inevitably attract more defense, and teammates will take the opportunity to get more opportunities.
However, Wang Zhuo did not immediately call a timeout to change tactics, but first look at the offensive effect of the Knicks, if you score, bite the score, and play a few more minutes along the court is understandable, if you can't score, and let the Warriors fight back, then you have to call a timeout.
Fortunately, Anthony was tough on the offensive end, hitting a mid-range jumper in the face of Durant, stabilizing the situation on the court, and Wang Zhuo's heart was put back in his stomach.
After the Knicks scored, they suddenly made a full-court press, and the Warriors fell into the half-court position and started the roundabout tactics again, this time it was Durant who received Thompson's hand-handed pass, dribbled the ball one step, and made a one-step pull-up jump shot inside the three-point line to add two more points to the Warriors.
The point difference returned to 3 points, and the Knicks attacked, because Wang Zhuo's tactics were to insist on playing inside, and there was no suitable opportunity to resolutely not shoot three points, so the Warriors' defensive range shrank very small, and there was almost no room for breakthroughs.
Grant passed the half court and passed the ball to Anthony, Wang Zhuo walked to the sidelines, raised three fingers, and made an "ok" gesture, which was the meaning of signaling the Knicks to shoot three points, Anthony received Wang Zhuo's message, took a step with the ball, and burst into the bottom left corner of Rose, Rose received the ball, did not hesitate to pull out three points, and shot cold-blooded.
The ball smashed on the inside of the hoop, bounced up and hit the rebound, and then fell, and after some twists and turns, it finally fell into the basket, and the referee signaled that the three points were valid, and the score on the court was tied again.
Wang Zhuo initially disapproved of shooting three-pointers, in order to prevent the Warriors from seizing the opportunity to play a quick defensive counterattack, but now the Warriors are superstitious about the effect of roundabout tactics, and shrink the defense, and the number of opportunities to shoot outside the three-point line increases, which is the perfect time to shoot three-pointers.
What's more, the three-point shot is a big killer for the Knicks, even if it doesn't matter, Porzingis's absolute advantage on the inside, and the rebounds in the front court are still very guaranteed.
In the following period, both sides were very successful on the offensive end, and the score rose alternately until there were three minutes and 46 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, when the official timeout was entered, and the score on the court was fixed at 26-26, at this time, the two sides also began to rotate the lineup.
The Warriors have the best bench in the league, David, West, Livingston, Iguodala, Vallejo, McGee, and of course, the Knicks have no less depth on the bench, Jennings, Ray Allen, O'Quinn, Vujasic, etc.
Kerr sent Durant and Thompson to lead Livingston, David West and Vallejo in the first-quarter rotation, a traditional lineup with point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards and centers.
Wang Zhuo sent Jennings, Ray Allen, Anthony, O'Quinn and Vujacic, and in comparison, the Knicks' height dropped again, more like a five-man lineup.
"Interesting, I just don't know how the Knicks' five-man lineup works? Let's see how Cole responds to Wang Zhuo's way of using the other, and giving back to the other! ”
In the Tencent Sports live broadcast room, Yang Yi applauded when he saw the substitute lineup sent by Wang Zhuo, but quickly stabilized his emotions, worried about the tactical effect of Wang Zhuo's copycat version of the five-small lineup.
At the end of the official timeout, because Green missed a long shot just now, and the ball bounced out of bounds, the Knicks took the lead in attacking after the timeout.
Jennings dribbled across the halfcourt, O'Quinn came up to block the dismantling, Anthony got rid of Durant and ran away without the ball, Jennings passed the ball to Anthony, cut inside, Anthony received the ball on the periphery, looked around, and saw Ray Allen "S" running process, catching O'Quinn's body as a block, quickly falling into the bottom left corner.
Anthony's eyes were quick, his wrist flicked, the ball was already in the hands of Ray Allen, Thompson realized that the situation was not good, it was too late to catch up, Ray Allen's stallion-like calves had jumped, and the ball was like a knife in the killer's hand, hitting the point.
The more handsome and elegant the killer, the more bloodthirsty and deadly the means of killing, and Ray Allen is such a killer.
