“wearewarriors，wearewarriors！”

Before the game even began, the emotions of the Warriors' home fans were already boiling high, and the slogan "We are the Warriors" echoed over Oracle Arena. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Zhuo held the tactical board in his hand, dressed on the Knicks' bench, unimpressed by the unfriendliness and noise of the home fans, and his mind was full of pictures of the Warriors' previous games.

Mike Brin and Mark Jackson announced their starting lineups on the spot, with Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Pachulia for the Warriors, and the Knicks with the same old lineup, Anthony, Porzingis, Rose, Noah and Grant.

"Rhythm, you must control the rhythm, Jerryan, do you have confidence in the face of Stephen?"

Wang Zhuo's index finger tapped on the tactical board, raising his voice to ensure that the words he said were not drowned out by the shouts of the fans.

"I, I have faith."

Grant's eyes were in a trance, obviously lacking confidence, but the moment he looked at Wang Zhuo, he seemed to be suddenly greatly encouraged, and replied firmly.

Wang Zhuo nodded, patted Grant on the shoulder, and then signaled the players to prepare to enter the court, Curry is the engine of the Warriors, whether the Knicks can occupy the advantage on the court depends mostly on the degree of Grant's restriction on Curry, of course, it is unlikely to completely lock Curry.

With both Noah and Pachulia hunched over, their butts pouting and their eyes glued to the ball in the referee's hand, the "beep......" referee Danny Crawford blew a long, loud whistle to announce the start of the game.

At the same time as the whistle blew, Danny Crawford threw the ball high, Pachulia and Noah are the same height, but much stronger than Noah, with the instant explosiveness, the first to touch the ball, the Warriors executed the first attack of the game.

Curry shook his head, gritted his braces, and had a casual posture, swaying and dribbling to the frontcourt, Rao Curry was loose, Grant was still like a big enemy, not daring to have a trace of slackness, staring closely at Curry and the ball in Curry's hand.

After the Warriors traded Bogut, the quality of the inside and outside blocking and dispensing dropped sharply, and Pachuria's blocking and dismantling strategy should be far inferior to Bogut, judging from the Warriors' playing style in the first few games, it was more often Green who mentioned high pick-and-roll, and Durant played the role of Green last season.

The addition of Durant has made the Warriors' offensive firepower more powerful, and the defense on the wing has also been improved, but the departure of Bogut has also made the Warriors' already weak interior line more vulnerable.

Wang Zhuo's initial tactical strategy is to spread defense, limit Curry by Grant, and not wrap up, at most give the Warriors two offensive firepower points, initially let Durant and Thompson go, Pachulia can be ignored, and Green must be eliminated at this point.

Of course, letting the offense go is not defending, but compared with others, you can get more opportunities to shoot, the reason why Wang Zhuo does not defend Durant is obvious, with Anthony's defensive ability, you can't lock Durant at all, so there is no need to consume too much physical strength in defense, participate more in the offense, and fight against Durant.

Rose vs. Thompson, and the strategy of defending Durant is much the same, Thompson is more of a no-ball running cover in the Warriors, receiving the ball and shooting three-pointers, and there are very few individual ball-holding singles and breakthroughs, Rose just needs to cheer up, keep up with it at all times, and keep interfering with Thompson's shooting.

This is Wang Zhuo's tentative defensive strategy, as for the offense, Wang Zhuo emphasizes the control of the rhythm, play more positional battles, bad timing, less fast attack, avoid letting the Warriors seize the opportunity, play a quick counterattack, positional warfare, especially require Noah and Porzingis to compete for rebounds in the front court, since the offensive firepower is not comparable to the Warriors, then there are more opportunities to develop secondary offense.

Curry dribbled the ball with his right hand, and kept gesturing with his left hand in the air, directing the running position of the Warriors players, Green mentioned the top of the circle to cover, Curry borrowed the cover, and moved the ball sideways to the left side, but found that Rose made up in time, Curry had no chance to shoot, so he had to pass to Thompson at 45 degrees.

Thompson received the ball and jumped, shot quickly, and shot the ball steadily before Rose returned to defense, "Wow", the ball went into the basket, brought up the net, and made a splash-like sound.

After the goal, Thompson looked at the audience, turned around and ran, and threw himself into the defense, not missing the shouts and cheers of the home fans.

The Knicks served in the backcourt, Grant dribbled over the half court, Wang Zhuo once thought about playing more blocking and dismantling on the offensive end, forming a dislocation, and ravaging Curry's defensive hole, but if you think about it carefully, this can only be used as a phased tactical play, and if you want to run through the whole court, you still have to give full play to the advantages of the Knicks, and the advantage of the Knicks is undoubtedly the interior combination of Porzingis and Noah.

Grant held the ball on top of the circle, Porzingis stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, Grant tried to break through, and Green quickly moved from the side to block Grant's breakthrough route.

At this time, the dislocation of the anti-demolition appeared, Grant knocked back the basketball in the middle of the march, Thompson was very conscious, made a lateral pave, and almost made a successful steal, Porzingis staggered to get the ball, and was immediately caught by Curry and Thompson.

Porzingis hesitated for a second or two, and the misalignment quickly disappeared, Green stepped in to re-defend Porzingis, and Curry faced Grant again.

Rose took the opportunity to throw an empty space when Thompson wrapped Porzingis, although Porzingis did not have room to shoot on the outside, but the height advantage existed, so that the vision of the pass was not blocked, a one-handed pass, the ball was thrown by Porzingis like a cannonball.

Rose received the ball, adjusted slightly, stepped on the three-point line and made a jumper, I don't know if it was interfered by Thompson's return defense or poor hand, and the ball smashed into the basket and missed.

However, Noah under the basket saw the right time, squeezed Pachuriaka into the position with his butt, and the moment the ball bounced off the basket, Noah jumped hard, raised one arm high, grabbed the ball and pressed it into the basket.

"Bang ......"

After Noah made up for the dunk, he hung one arm from the basket for a second, balancing his body and landing steadily, while raising his head to the sky and letting out a long roar, reproducing his trademark roar.

"Jerry passed to Derek, Derrick adjusted slightly, the opportunity was very good, oops, alas, Derrick missed the jumper, rebound, where is the rebound? Oh my God, it's Joaquin, Joaquin grabbed the rebound, and the one-arm basket made up for the dunk, it was so exciting, I couldn't help but applaud Joaquin, and besides, I had to drink saliva to suppress the shock. ”

On the commentary bench, Brin thought clearly, spoke quickly, followed the rhythm of the court, and explained the Knicks' goal with infinite passion.
