Chapter 177: He's the Champion Show (Fifth Update)
In the second quarter, the second lineups of both sides spent time on the court.
The Warriors, like the Clippers, also uphold the principle that everyone has the ball, and deploy as many players as possible to get bench players on the court.
First, this is the coaching style of Nelson Sr. in the past two years, and second, the Warriors really have no one to use.
Corey Margeti, Anthony Randolph and Radmanovic all missed the game due to injury.
If these three people don't play, the Warriors' rotation lineup is half collapsed, and CJ Watson, Devin George, Turiaf, etc. on the bench are all on top, allowing the main team to rest.
Min Congda sat on the sidelines, poking in from time to time to see who else was on the Warriors' bench.
Ida asked, "Mr. Smart, who are you looking for?" ”
Min Congda said: "Oh, you show me, is there Anthony Randolph in the Warriors' roster?" ”
Ida inquired and said, "No, Anthony Randolph is on the injury list. ”
"yes, what about his stats this season?"
"I look at it, playing 22 minutes, averaging 11 points, seven rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game."
Min Congda nodded, thinking that it was okay to be so-so, but it was far from being as majestic as it was in the summer league.
Min Congdayu remembers that when he was in the Las Vegas Summer League, Anthony Randolph's performance was dominant.
often scored 30 points and 40 points in a game, and beat the same level students without any ability to fight back.
Blake Griffin, the talented power forward who is a role model, is also not lagging behind.
As a result, in the regular season, the performance can only be said to be average, and injuries are frequent.
"Hey, it's not easy to pick out a potential talent in this basketball. You see he played so well in some games, and he ended up in the regular season like that. Even if you play well, there are some uncontrollable factors, injuries or something that make people scrap. ”
Playing basketball, watching basketball, and watching people are three different jobs entirely.
So some players play very well, but they can't be coaches.
Some coaches are very good at coaching, but they can't see people accurately, and they can't do well in management.
There are some powerful management, who have never touched basketball in their lives, and can be beaten by middle school students on the court.
People who can be awesome in all three aspects, NBA history can be counted on one hand.
"However, I picked a random Curry, how did he play well, I can't figure it out."
Min Congda thought that it would be very good for him to pick a random Curry, and he was still angry in his heart, and he had been moldy for several lifetimes.
Curry had a good first quarter, starting with a cold start, then picking up and quickly getting the game up to speed.
This time, Baron Davis completely became a supporting role for Curry, and he was not very comfortable with his knees.
On the court, the main playmaking and ball control roles are given to Curry, and Curry leads the team's offense.
And Curry is clearly not Nash's selfless and dedicated point guard.
He will look at his own chances first and then think about whether to create opportunities for his teammates.
After the transition of the second quarter, the score was 40-38, and the Clippers still led by two points.
From the perspective of the game senses, the Clippers were gradually led away by the Warriors and attacked the opponent.
At this time, some domestic basketball experts and TV commentators are criticizing:
"The Clippers are not making good use of their interior advantage, Randolph played very well in the opening game, and he didn't pass the ball later."
"The small guard doesn't pass the ball to the inside, play inside, let Randolph chisel, the Warriors can't defend the inside line at all, it's a waste."
"Curry's ball is really unreasonable, the three-point shot is thrown, not to the inside, to play more inside, and the inside line drives the outside. Now running blindly with the Warriors, the Clippers can't pull away from the score. ”
But actually, the Clippers have the rhythm of the Clippers.
Playing from the inside is certainly the basic routine of many teams.
At the start of the season, Dunleavy did the same.
But now, Dunleavy is gradually shifting the team's tactical focus outward, striving for internal and external balance.
Outside players, especially pitchers, have to get a feel for it in the first half.
In the first half, we had to fight tactics, lay the foundation, and find the state.
Get ready for the decisive battle in the third and fourth quarters.
For a pitcher, if he is not in good shape in the first half, he does not shoot well.
It was very difficult to get back to feeling in the second half.
If you watch enough games, you can find that at the critical moment, if a player has a good hand in front of him, he can hit the ball at the critical moment and help the team win the game.
If the front feeling has been intermittent, you can't shoot well, or you are disturbed by the opponent's tough defense and fouls, then you will be blind with the ball at the critical moment.
After Curry re-entered the court in the second quarter, he immediately received the ball from the outside and shot a three-pointer, but he missed the shot.
In this game, he has made 2 of 5 three-point shots, and his efficiency is slightly low.
But Min Congda looked at the Warriors' defense and didn't feel good in his heart.
"The Warriors' defense, Rubio, you don't have to press, you have to press up, use your body to fight, muscles to destroy Curry's shooting touch. You defend like this, purely by your own consciousness, although you can steal, but you can't disrupt Curry's feel, and you will suffer later. ”
No one knows how to defend Curry better than Min Congda.
In his opinion, one of the better defenders of Curry in the league at the moment is Chris Paul of the Hornets.
Small, dirty, all kinds of small moves that are not obvious, and experienced, competitive and aggressive, strong attack, Curry and him have a hard time.
The other is Holiday Holiday, a rookie from the 76ers, who is physically strong, has a strong defensive bite ability, and because Curry is the top pick, he has a lot of fighting spirit when he plays against Curry.
And those who try to rely on experience, positioning, and awareness to defend Curry are basically blind.
Kobe Bryant's defensive experience is good enough, and he has been honing his position for so many years, but if he doesn't fight against Curry, the effect is still not good.
Rubio relied on awareness and early staking to steal Curry's two balls in the first quarter, and he still defended very cleanly after the start of the second quarter.
Min Congda knew that something was going to happen.
The Warriors missed a three-point shot from the outside, and Curry grabbed a long rebound.
Advance with the ball yourself, observe while pushing, and pass half to the top of the arc.
He stopped abruptly, as if hesitating, and Rubio stopped to keep his distance.
Curry tilted his head from side to side to observe, just as Rubio's attention was distracted.
Curry dribbles back and steps back, goes outside the three-point line, and shoots straight and fast three-pointers!
Where has Rubio seen this kind of play, he didn't react at all.
He thought Curry was watching the ball in the middle, and his teammates didn't come over to help defend.
I didn't expect a step back, so I threw it directly.
A precise three-pointer that pierced the Warriors' basket.
The third three-pointer of the game, 3 of 6 three-pointers, the shooting rate came to 50%!
Rubio realized that the person in front of him could not be treated in a conventional defensive way at all.
He's the champion of 2009.
