Chapter 127: Tactics to Die

The Bulls' starting line hasn't changed, it's still the same. While the Warriors are sidelined due to David Lee due to injury, Mark Jackson will bring rookie Drummond to the Warriors. Green was named in the starting line-up, along with Curry, Thompson, Barnes and Bogut.

Green was the second-round pick of the Warriors this year, but as a second-round pick, Green won Jackson's trust with his excellent defense and game attitude and became an indispensable member of the rotation lineup.

This season, Green is averaging 2.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per game. Despite his poor stats, he is the most efficient player on the Warriors' team, which is perhaps what Jackson, who focuses on offensive and defensive balance, values.

Of course, Green didn't live up to Jackson's trust, and in the last game against the Heat, Draymond? Green picked up Jarrett 0.9 seconds before the break? Jack passes the ball to a layup and kills the opponent.

Green rose to fame at a young age, attending Saginaw High School in high school, where he led the team to two state championships. He averaged 20 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks per game, helping the team to a 27-1 record and fourth in USA Today's national high school rankings that year. After attending Michigan State University, Green completed four years of college and left a glorious record of school history. However, the physical condition of the non-trivial has not been favored by the NBA team.

Despite the low draft pick, head coach Jackson believes that Green's is a good fit for his team. Green's biggest contribution is his rebounding, he's got a strong body and amazing reach, and he's never afraid to play against the big guys. On the inside, Green's excellent vision and passing ability always make defenders take care of each other, and it is difficult to juggle Green's ball in his hands and teammates running without the ball at the same time. Green's passes are always timely. With his back to the basket, Green is a rather cunning player, making it difficult to get around the baseline or turn to the free throw area. With a high basketball IQ, you can change your teammates around you for the better, and you can control your emotions well, and you have the conditions to be a leader.

But Green doesn't have a particularly strong skill, is awkwardly positioned, doesn't have enough size to play as a strong forward, and doesn't seem flexible enough as a wing player.

……

Before the game, in the locker room, Thibodeau deliberately talked to Sun Xiaotian alone. Thibodeau told him that Sun Xiaotian would be very hard in this match. Because he will let Sun Xiaotian defend Curry and Thompson in turn, the physical consumption will be very large at that time, and I hope Sun Xiaotian will be fully prepared.

Sun Xiaotian only replied with one sentence: "Come on!" I've been looking forward to it for a long time since the last fight, and I won't get knocked down twice. ”

Sun Xiaotian likes shooter players like Curry, and Sun Xiaotian has a natural admiration for shooters, and he likes the kind of arc that cuts through the sky. Chuck? Persson, Dan? Marley, Peja, Glenn? Rice, Dell? Ellis, Bird, Miller, Ray Allen, ......, the shadows of these people have long been imprinted in their minds. In his opinion, the shooter is the equivalent of the artillery in the war, and once they play, they will definitely inflict heavy damage on the opponent.

However, Curry lit the fuse as soon as he opened the scene!!

The opening Warriors get the ball.

Curry dribbled across the half-line, Green responded with a high post, and Thompson and Barnes crossed and detoured from the baseline.

After Curry handed the ball to Green, he covered Thompson at 45 degrees on the right side, and Green gave the ball to Thompson, but Sun Xiaotian did not lose position, and Thompson had no room to shoot.

However, Thompson did not stop the ball and instead gave it to Curry in the bottom corner.

And Hinrich was only half a meter away from Curry at this time, but Curry didn't think about it, he shot instantly, the speed was extremely fast, the arc was extremely perfect, and when Hinrich blocked, the ball had already been shot.

The ball goes into the net!!

Although Sun Xiaotian also responded later, after shooting the first shot, Curry seemed to feel that it was going well tonight. Maybe it's because of the poor performance in the last game, but today I was holding my breath! Although the Warriors killed the Heat with Green's empty catch at the last moment, Curry was playing iron all over the court. Only 9 points went in, and there were 6 turnovers.

After Sun Xiaotian responded, Curry dribbled across the middle line and took advantage of Bogut's upper line to cover and want to shake off Hinrich's entanglement.

Hinrich's pace was not slow, Curry suddenly accelerated to the right, and then a crotch top shot was taken.

The ball is like precise guidance, hollow into the net.

There were bursts of exclamations from the scene.

Looking at Xinrich's expression again, in addition to helplessness, he is still helpless.

Of course, for this game, it is not only Curry who is eager to be proven, but also Sun Xiaotian.

As soon as it opened, the game seemed to be a showdown between Curry and Sun Xiaotian.

Curry's two consecutive three-pointers, Sun Xiaotian turned around and responded.

One was a pull-up shot in front of Thompson, and the other was a three-point jumper using Thompson's best catch-and-shoot jumper.

……

Hit two three-pointers in a row, and Curry will try to make a third ......

After Sun Xiaotian responded with a three-pointer, the Warriors passed the ball several times, and the ball returned to Curry's hands. At this time, the defender of Curry was replaced by Sun Xiaotian.

Before the game, Sun Xiaotian had been studying Curry's video to understand Curry's dribbling habits.

Sun Xiaotian stretched out his slender arms, and at this time, Curry was one and a half meters away from the three-point line. Curry took a few steps back, and Sun Xiaotian understood that Curry was about to speed up.

And at this time, Green came to cover for him.

Can... Can... But!!!!

Curry actually dribbled a step and threw the ball straight out.

"What?" Sun Xiaotian was taken aback.

The arc of the ball is very high, and it is still hollow into the net.

The entire United Center arena was shaken, and fans hugged their heads. Not only that, but looking at the Warriors' bench, Curry's teammates are also holding their heads! Even they couldn't imagine it.

Sun Xiaotian was also stunned!

……

The Bulls' video analyst once published a report on Curry's shooting.

From a sports science point of view, Curry has a steady jump when shooting, but his feet are so close to the ground that an Oxford dictionary can trip him. His dynamic efficiency comes from a combination of shots and shots, rather than jumping first and then shooting, which allows him to take as little as 0.3 seconds on a shot.

The ultra-high shooting arc has become Curry's trademark, according to the data provided by the video tracking system, the average point of the league's three-point shooting trajectory so far this season is 15.77 feet, but Curry has reached 16.23 feet.

The higher the arc, the bigger the basket will be for him, "You can't change the size of the ball, but you can change the size of the target (the basket). ”

From a digital standpoint, Curry's shooting is the best, because the ideal angle for a three-point shot is 45 degrees, and Carter said that the best shooters he has studied tend to have higher shooting trajectories, and Curry's three-point shot is about 46 degrees.

In a word: he has the qualities and skills that a shooter should have, but he has some qualities of his own that other shooters do not have.

When Sun Xiaotian came back to his senses, he just said to himself: "There is such a person, how can people prevent this!" What else do you need tactics to do, this is the rhythm of the tactics as long as the shot is accurate, and the tactics are going to die! ”
