Since the change of head coach, the Golden State Warriors have established a small-ball approach this season. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kerr was a smart player when he was a player, and as a rookie coach, you can see that he also has great wisdom as a coach just by looking at these games.

Unlike Mark Jackson, who struggled to assert his authority among players, Kerr preferred to mingle with players, perhaps in a sign of his high emotional intelligence.

When it comes to people, Mark Jackson and Kerr are both popular recruits, however, Jackson's unyielding personality is not well received by the team's management. It's only natural to leave the Warriors and the team he's worked so hard to build.

Many people confuse small-ball tactics with the bombardment tactics of the Suns during the D'Antoni era, but of course, the two tactics have the same origin, but they are different.

Small ball refers to the maximum degree of avoiding the impact of height and formation in defense through rapid offensive and defensive conversion, that is, the way of exchanging defense for offense, because this way of playing has a higher mobility for players, the executor is mostly a small player, and the style is more flexible, so "small ball" has become a conventional name.

Small balls were first created by Doug? Mo, he's playing small ball in Denver, George? Carl was playing small ball in Milwaukee, Byron? Scott plays small ball in New Jersey, Nelson Sr. plays small ball in Golden State, and D'Antoni plays small ball in Phoenix. They are all representatives of small-ball tactics, but when it comes to the pitch, they are not the same tactics.

Run-and-shoot is one of the small-ball tactics, and it is an exclusive product of D'Antoni, which is a set of tactical content including horn attack and quick positioning in the frontcourt. In other words, running and shooting is a way to implement the small-ball tactic.

For example, the bombardment tactic requires the backcourt players to press forward as much as possible on the defensive end in order to advance to the front court faster after the transition between attack and defense; It is also required to protect the backcourt rebounds in order to start the first style of offensive and defensive transitions. But the two themselves constitute a contradiction, how to protect the backcourt rebounds while the backcourt players press forward, and how to defend the vast middle area? That's the change Kerr brought to the Warriors' small-ball system.

So far this season, the Warriors' starting lineup is: Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green and Bogut. Unlike last season's regular starting lineup, David Lee is no longer the ideal No. 4 player in Kerr's system.

Kerr's small-ball tactics are extremely demanding on defense, and David Lee's past performances have proven that he is not a good defender. Green, on the other hand, is very defensive, has a keen sense of rebounding, and can connect the team's offense. Green can be said to be the core and ideal personnel of Kerr's small-ball tactics.

In the Nash era, the team's offense started with the outside point guard, and other players ran out of offensive space around Nash, which was to put it plainly "chasing the opponent". However, this season's Warriors' offense starts from the inside, whether it is a fast break or a positional battle, the core of the ball transfer is basically around the 4 and 5 positions.

During the four-game winning streak, Green averaged 13 points, 9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, which is a world away from last season's average of 6.2 points, 5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

What is different from the previous run-and-gun system is the presence of center Boggart and Barnes. Bogut as the team's interior defensive gatekeeper and Barnes as the team's top wing defender fully illustrate that the Warriors' small-ball tactics are built on defense. Whether it is in the Bulls or the Spurs, Kerr has always been a person who advocates defense, he has always believed that defense is the key to the team's victory, and the team that has not defended will eventually miss the championship.

Boggart is the key to the team's defense of the basket, Green is the center of the team's offensive operation, and the team's offensive finisher naturally falls to the Splash Brothers.

During the four-game winning streak, Curry averaged 25.5 points and seven assists per game, shooting 51 percent from the field and 48 percent from three-point range, and hitting four three-pointers per game. Thompson averaged 23 points per game, shooting 48 percent from the field, nearly 5 percent from three-point range, and also hitting four three-pointers per game. There's no doubt about the role of Green, Bogut and Barnes in the Warriors, but it's the Splash Brothers who really represent the team's tactical system.

Some people say that every time the two of them shoot, the ball passes through the basket, and the net is like a splash, and the name of the Splash Brothers has been known since then.

As the league's most promising backcourt duo, the Splash Brothers grew up in a strikingly similar background. They are all generals, they are all keen on outside shooting, and they are extremely fast and humble.

They were eliminated by the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs last season, and the Splash Brothers couldn't hide their sadness in front of the media after the game. The two men have vowed to do something this season, so they have been working on their abilities all summer.

What makes the two so interested is the depth of the team's roster, the Warriors' starting five are definitely the best in the league, but their bench is much more reassuring than last season.

This season, the Warriors have brought in Livingston, Barbosa and Rush according to their own characteristics, plus the team's original Iguodala, David Lee, Azeli, and Speights, and the team has too many people who can play.

----------------------------

For the next opponent, I don't know if the Bulls can win, but they will definitely be tested. Compared to the Warriors' lineup, the Bulls have shortcomings, but they also have strengths.

The Warriors starters are more mobile than the Bulls and have a sharper offense. In the game against the Spurs, there was a time when because Boggart fouled too much, and Kerr actually replaced Bogut with Iguodala, using a pure five-small lineup, and the effect was not enough.

Plus, the Warriors have more depth on the bench than the Bulls. Iguodala proved to be excellent at leading the bench charge, but most of the Bulls bench players were newcomers except for Gibson and Dunleavy veterans.

Of course, the Bulls are not without any strengths. Through the first four games, the Bulls consistently topped the league in rebounding. Noah, Gasol's interior combination is reassuring, in addition, Sun Xiaotian is in hot form, during the four-game winning streak, although Sun Xiaotian only scored 22 points, but he only played an average of 30 minutes per game, and in addition, Sun Xiaotian also averaged 9.5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3.5 steals, 2 blocks per game. Against the Warriors, Sun Xiaotian is bound to give his all, and fans are eager for him to play like a god, which is also the confidence of the Bulls to dare to win.

This game is still broadcast live in the United States, and the live broadcast preview on the TNT webpage is very special, with Sun Xiaotian on one side and the Warriors starting five Tigers on the other! (To be continued.) )
