Chapter 40: There's Another Defensive Strategy!
Randolph's outburst can still cause some trouble.
The Warriors look like they have Bogut and Draymond Green, but Randolph's frantic offense is no worse than Duncan's.
As long as Randolph explodes, then he is a monster under the basket.
Maybe he can't fly away like Howard, but the Floor Flow Monster can use his strong body to squeeze a space to shoot.
It doesn't matter if he feels bad, when he feels good, it's really hard to deal with.
Speaking of Randolph, it can be regarded as a relatively legendary life.
Before joining the Grizzlies, both on and off the court, it was a bad record.
But after joining the Grizzlies, it was like a different person, especially when it came to the critical moment and had no fear of hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.
How to defend against Randolph is a problem.
Honk!
Su Chen raised his hand and called a pause.
Su Chen didn't care about face, he saw that Randolph meant to be mad, so he had to hold it down before Randolph went berserk.
The point is, he realized one of his mistakes.
That is to let Bogut go to Randolph.
In fact, Randolph is not Bogut to defend at all, but Draymond Green should be defended.
Before, Su Chen only thought that defending Randolph needed size, so that even after being pushed out of the space, he could use his height and arm span to interfere.
He also referred to the Spurs' defensive strategy against Randolph later, allowing Duncan and Split to use height to influence Randolph's layup.
But this kind of distraction.
It's actually limited.
Randolph can be so defensive when he has a bad hand, but once Randolph has a good hand, he can often use a soft touch to score under interference.
Now Randolph, the feel is better.
Su Chen just remembered that instead of referring to the strategies of other teams against Randolph later, it was better to use his own Warriors' defensive strategy against the Grizzlies.
The Warriors' playoff game against the Grizzlies was also in hand.
One of the most effective ways to defend against Randolph is to keep Randolph from advancing.
As long as Randolph can't push in, he actually only has fixed-point shots in the middle range, limited by Randolph's own height and his mid-range back leaning back.
And in the Warriors, there are really people who can't push Randolph in.
That's Draymond Green.
Draymond Green is smaller than Randolph, but he has enough strength to not let Randolph push in.
It's no problem for the referee to be loose, Randolph doesn't blow the referee, and Draymond Green can't blow the referee back.
And later the Warriors managed to cut off the high-low connection between Randolph and Gasol Jr., and the Grizzlies naturally lost power.
"Green, you don't have to help defend anymore, your job is to push Randolph out of the box."
Su Chen also rearranged the defensive strategy and let Draymond Green go to defend Randolph alone.
Draymond Green also agreed.
He has a strong body, and he is not afraid of confrontation like Randolph, and he has even wanted to go alone for a long time, but it is difficult to say.
Pause back.
The Warriors' offense played a simple no-ball run.
After all, the Warriors' physical strength is not unlimited, and if every round is a complex running position, the physical strength of the Warriors players is not enough.
The shot was mediocre and Thompson didn't make it.
The Warriors quickly return to defense.
The Grizzlies did not rush to play the fast break, but continued to prepare to play Randolph.
In the last round, Randolph only played a 2+1, and his morale was high, and Lionel Hollins also chose to believe Randolph.
The Grizzlies continued to play in a low-post tactical formation.
Compared to the previous round, Randolph had a more difficult time from the start of receiving the ball.
And when Randolph received the ball, Draymond Green also resisted Randolph with all his might.
Feeling the power behind him that was not inferior to him, Randolph did not intimidate and continued to choose to collide.
In the last round, he hit Bogut and easily crashed into it, but this round was very difficult to meet the smaller Draymond Green.
It's not just that Draymond Green is not inferior to him in terms of strength, but Draymond Green has been trying to pick the ball while carrying him.
This makes Randolph unable to use all his strength to scare people, and still needs a certain amount of strength to protect the ball.
Originally, the Grizzlies players were still more confident in Randolph's singles.
Everyone was watching from the sidelines, ready to come back at any time.
But.
Randolph was as fierce as a tiger, and looked at the position of the pestle.
This made the Grizzlies realize that Randolph might not be able to play this ball, and hurriedly responded to it.
But Su Chen's defensive arrangement just now was not arranged to play, and everyone's receiving position was watched by the Warriors players by breaking the ball around the front.
Randolph also knew in his heart that he was about to break the rules with his back for five seconds.
When I feel that I can't move, it's already time for five seconds to break the law with my back.
Draymond Green didn't collide with him at this time, and raised his hands high to block his shooting space.
Randolph panicked and prepared to pass the ball to Conley.
But Curry was already in front of Conley, and Curry took the ball straight away while running wild with the ball himself.
Thompson had to run ahead of Curry, and at the same time, Thompson had no defenders in front of him, and Prince was forced to shrink the basket in the space of the basket.
Curry gave a long throw directly to Thompson.
Thompson didn't score a three-point shot in the last round, but it didn't affect Thompson's shooting confidence at all.
As long as the coach allows, Klay Thompson can make all kinds of unreasonable three-point shots, and if he enters, he can't solve the three-point point.
If you don't get in, it's Hulai-Thompson.
But this ball is the god of soup.
Thompson shoots from beyond the three-point line and hits.
Grizzlies 46:56 Warriors.
hit this three-pointer, and the difference between the two sides came to 10 points again.
