Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hollins' Tactics Guessed?
It's not for nothing that there is such a thing as predicting the opponent's tactics.
But usually it is just a prediction of a general trend, like a specific position, not that there is no but very little.
The most famous scene in this regard is that Rondo saw through the Eagles' tactics at that time and instructed Cousins to defend the air.
Cousins was stupid when he heard it, but out of trust in Rondo, he did it.
The result of that ball was that the Eagles served and went through the run, and Millsap went to the bottom corner.
By the time Millsap reached the bottom corner, he and Cousins stared wide-eyed, both of whom had the same question on their minds.
Why are you here?
After the two stared, Cousins didn't forget his defensive duties and turned the Eagles' offense into a mistake.
"OK, I'll be in that position."
Although Jefferson was stunned for a moment, he knew that he couldn't question the coach at this time, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
Besides, he fell out of the rotation, and it was Su Chen's trust that made him the starter.
And it's also a starter on a stage like the Western Conference Finals.
The rest of the people didn't know when they heard this, and they couldn't believe it.
But there were no doubts.
Jefferson and Draymond Green were both picked up by Su Chen and belonged to Su Chen's lineage.
It was true that Thompson was originally a starter, but Su Chen was also a beneficiary when he was in charge, and he became the team's No. 2 core figure.
Curry wasn't a thorn in the eye, and the coach said he had heard of the character.
Bogut is just a blue-collar worker and doesn't have much to say.
The suspension ends.
Both sides fielded full starting line-ups.
Grizzlies possession.
It was because the Grizzlies failed to score two consecutive offenses that Lionel Hollins chose to call a timeout, and this attack on the Grizzlies was inevitable.
Otherwise, the pause is a failed pause.
By this time, Conley had already dribbled the ball to the front court.
Tony Allen pretended to run over and made a fake cover.
Conley didn't even go to Tony Allen, and when Tony Allen came over, Conley directly chose to take Gasol Jr.'s block.
For a while, all the attention was on Conley and Gasol Jr.'s blocking.
Tony Allen is sneaking a three-pointer to the right at a 45° angle.
Because Conley's starting side is starting on the side next to Jefferson, Jefferson is obliged to help delay it at this time.
And Jefferson really stepped forward and delayed a bit.
Gasol Jr. cut into the basket, and Conley was caught in the bag, at which point Conley chose to jump directly.
Conley made a jump pass, not to Gasol Jr., but to a wide range of moves.
Because he had been prepared for a long time, Conley didn't even need to look at people, just threw it vigorously from a tactical point of view.
The advantage of this kind of passing is that the ball is passed quickly.
With such a wide range of passes, it would be too slow to find someone's position and then pass, and the defenders would react and follow.
But you don't need to find someone to smash the ball, it's just very fast, and the defender can't keep up.
But as soon as the news got out, Conley found a bald head.
Richard Jefferson didn't know when, appeared in the passing lane, and copied it straight over.
Tony Allen was ready to catch the ball, but it was directly stolen by Richard Jefferson.
Tony Allen didn't froze and reacted quickly to catch up with Richard Jefferson.
Richard Jefferson is not at his peak after all, and his speed with the ball makes it difficult to get rid of Tony Allen in the face of his peak even if he has a half-body lead.
This ball has a chance to hit strongly.
But Richard Jefferson didn't hit hard.
Su Chen not only arranged the strategy of defending the ball, but also made arrangements in the fast attack.
At the moment when Conley passed the ball, Curry had already started running and was ready to play a fast break.
So a 2-on-1 chance was formed.
Curry didn't cut inside at all, but ran to the bottom corner for threes, found the spot he was most sure of and waited for the ball.
Richard Jefferson faced Tony Allen's defense and passed the ball to Curry, who ran to the bottom corner.
Curry used a standard three-point shot against an empty defense.
Brush!
Basketball hollow into the net.
Grizzlies 43:53 Warriors.
The Warriors' lead over the Grizzlies is also in double digits for the first time!
"Wow, what just happened, why is Jefferson in that place."
The on-site commentator said in surprise.
At this time, the big screen above the stadium also played back the scene just now.
Through the replay of the footage, everyone found that Jefferson was ostensibly delayed, but in fact it was also a fake delay.
The truth is that Jefferson has been staring at Tony Allen all the time.
It seems that from the very beginning, Jefferson spotted Tony Allen in ambush.
"I see, Hollins wanted to take the Warriors by surprise and set up a catch-and-shoot tactic for Tony Allen, who doesn't attack often."
"But I don't know if it was the arrangement of the Warriors coach or Jefferson's own acuity, this ball was guessed by the Warriors in advance."
After watching the replay on the big screen, the on-site commentator said in surprise.
