NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 36 Can You Really Treat Curry as a Messenger? (Ask for the first order on the shelves)
Grizzlies offensive round.

Conley wanted to stand out with the ball. He gave the ball to Gasol in the low post, and Bogut was defending Gasol.

Gasol Jr. didn't intend to fight, but after covering Conley for a counterrun, he played a low hand-off with Conley.

After receiving the ball, Conley was near the free throw line and made a direct mid-range shot.

The efficiency of low-post screens is relatively low, and it is not as good as pick-and-rolls, which can really block people.

Curry did not lose his position, and when Conley made a mid-range shot, he still jumped to complete the interference.

The basketball bounced out of the hoop.

Gasol and Randolph also tried to grab the rebound, but Bogut blocked them and Draymond Green easily won the rebound.

After Draymond Green got the rebound, he went straight to find someone.

A long swing directly found Curry just after halftime.

Seeing that there was no one in front of Curry, Prince could only give up his defender and rushed towards Curry.

They have already studied the Warriors' fast break. They like to chase three-pointers very much, especially Curry's three-pointers cannot be released at all.

Seeing Prince drop his defender, Thompson and Jefferson followed suit.

Curry directly passed the ball without looking at the person, and directly hit the ball to Jefferson who cut to the basket by hitting the ground.

After Jefferson got the ball, facing the unguarded basket, he directly made a gliding dunk.

The 2016 version of Jefferson still has a bit of dunk ability. The 2013 version of Jefferson's dunk is still much better than the 2016 version.

Grizzlies 2:7 Warriors.

The decibels dropped rapidly in the noisy FedEx Arena for a while, and the voices of the Grizzlies fans were all silenced.

Lionel Hollins finally couldn't sit still at this time, and quickly called a timeout.

what happened?

Why is it different from what I thought before the game.

According to pre-match expectations, every point of the Grizzlies is a strong defensive point, even against the Thunder's Durant and Martin's defenses are very efficient.

You must know that Durant is still the scoring leader for three consecutive times, and Kevin Martin is also a super scorer who averaged nearly 25 points per game before.

David Lee, Jarrett Jack, Carl Landry and other scorers were directly thrown off the bench by Su Chen or even out of the rotation.

The scoring points of the Warriors on the field are actually Thompson and Curry, Green Jefferson Bogut, etc., all of them are blue-collar workers.

Curry averaged 22 points per game, and Thompson averaged 16 points per game. From the data point of view, these two are far worse than the Thunder.

It stands to reason that they can even lock the Thunder, and the Warriors are no problem.

But why, the defensive system they are proud of, failed in front of the Warriors?

Lionel Hollins rearranged a defensive strategy.

Although he has no confidence in this defensive strategy, because it is a tactic he has never seen before.

I am afraid that only those fancy basketball teams will play such tactics.

At this time, he can barely arrange a defensive strategy, which has already demonstrated the quality of a professional coach.

soon.

Pause time is up.

Both players return to the field.

Lionel Hollins stood on the sidelines with folded arms, looking calmer.

It's just that the frequency of chewing gum in his mouth has accelerated, which shows that he is not calm on the surface, and the accelerated chewing conceals his nervousness.

As a head coach, the pressure is still quite high, chewing gum in the mouth helps to relax the tense nerves.

Just like the Lakers in the James era later, there was a coach named Hamm, known as the essence of human chewing bubble gum.

The fans complained about his team's losing streak, and he has been chewing gum leisurely on the sidelines. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.

The more gum he chewed during the team's losing streak, it was because he was very nervous inside, but he was so nervous that he had no choice but to chew a few more.

However, Lionel Hollins' restriction on gaggle tactics is not a countermeasure, and it still has some effect.

He chose to strengthen Curry's off-ball restrictions, while allowing the taller Prince to defend against Thompson's inside cuts.

Seeing this situation, Su Chen didn't use the gaggle tactics too early.

Because even for ordinary gaggle tactics, the Grizzlies only have restrictions, and they can't really prevent gaggle tactics.

And Su Chen didn't want to use one trick to eat all over the world.

Compared with using a single move, Su Chen still prefers more passes and cuts and more tactical changes.

And now it's not as tense as the Spurs, every game can't afford to fail, Su Chen slightly lengthened the rotation.

Originally, David Lee, Jarrett Jack, and Carl Landry still had some firepower.

They are not allowed to play at critical moments, but they can still be allowed to play at ordinary times.

After halfway through the first quarter, Su Chen gradually let the team enter the rotation time.

Curry and Thompson went off the court early to rest.

No matter how Richard Jefferson is a veteran, Su Chen also asked Barnes to play a little more.

In fact, there are still quite a few Warriors who can play.

Others include Azeri and Bazemore, both of whom can enter the rotation for a few minutes at critical moments.

You can't really treat Curry as a bully, after all, Su Chen is not a capitalist coach.

However, due to the prolonged rotation time.

Originally, the Warriors' starting lineup played oppressively against the Grizzlies.

But although Jarrett Jack and David Lee have two brushes in offense, the reason why they fell out of the starting lineup is still a defensive factor.

They played, let Conley and Randolph hit another wave of offense.

The first quarter is over.

Grizzlies 30:35 Warriors.

Originally, the Grizzlies are a defensive team. It is relatively normal for them to score [-] points in the first quarter, and even more than [-] points are normal.

We scored 30 points in this quarter, but because we fell into the rhythm of the Warriors, there were more rounds of offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides.

On the other hand, the Warriors' rotation is really defenseless, especially when David Lee faces the Grizzlies' black and white bears, basically he loses more points than he scores.

But David - Lee had to use.

Landry's defense isn't much better either. He's not tall enough, and he suffers too much.

Biedrins degenerates too quickly, and it is difficult to do pure blue-collar jobs.

Just letting Bogut, Draymond Green, and Azeri rotate inside is still too little.

"I don't know why, whether it is the Spurs or the Grizzlies, they are obviously defensive teams, but when they meet the Warriors, their scores also become higher."

"This is because the rhythm of offense and defense has fallen into the rhythm of the Warriors. The Grizzlies should stick to their own style and play fewer rounds to ensure the success rate."

The on-site commentary also found the problem and discussed it.

The fighting power displayed by the Warriors is quite amazing.

Perhaps judging from the score alone, the Warriors lead by 6 points, it seems that the advantage is not as big as imagined.

But judging from the dominance of normal games, the Warriors completely led the rhythm of the game.
