The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 120 The Flawed "Perfect Center"! "Magic Ball" tactics strike!
In the third quarter, the starting lineups of both sides reappeared.

The Warriors took a defensive approach against the unsolvable Yao Ming, and the desperate Biedrins dropped the Rockets' pass to Yao Ming more than once.

And Zhang Bolong also showed his chicken thief side, sneaking around to Yao Ming's side, digging and cutting, and successfully stealing the chicken twice.

Facing the provocation from his younger brother, how could Yao Ming remain indifferent?

It didn't take long for Zhang Bolong's super lever that broke into the inside line to be tightly covered by his giant palm, and it was directly sealed out of bounds like a fly swatter.

"My brother, don't you give me any face? I am one of the top ten balls, how can you accompany me?"

"Isn't it interesting enough to exchange you a hot pot meal for your top ten balls? If it's not enough, I'll give you another meal."

Dayao is full of both emotional intelligence and sense of humor, and he is well-known in the league for his popularity.

In the third quarter, Zhang Bolong began to use his personal threat on the offensive end to create good scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Ellis on the shooting guard, small forward Pietrus, power forward Jackson, and center Biedrins, the four started a full-speed charge mode under the command of Zhang Bolong.

For Biedrins, many new fans may not know much about it.

He is not a typical center player, of course, you can not think of him as a center.

He is even more unusual than a striker like Stoudemire who has been promoted to the center position.

Biedrins has excellent physical fitness, excellent bounce and speed, and unlimited devotion and enthusiasm for the game.

His height has not become a drag on him, and his cutting and running ability is not inferior to most forward players.

Even in a team like the Warriors, fans can often see him tirelessly fighting in and out of the offensive position, which is a perfect match for the old Nelson's windmill-like system.

It can be said that if you only look at movement and defense, he is the perfect center answer in the small ball lineup.

It's just that his skills are too rough.

The feel is rough, the shooting is awkward, and even the free throw percentage can't keep up with the shooting... let alone the organization and the overall situation.

Even so, the old Nelson still made no secret of his love for him. Not only did he put Foyle, the team's previous starter, on the bench, but he also directly traded for Troy Murphy, who is a hot spot for shooting inside and outside the line. The 20-year-old young man righted up as the team's starting center.

After a game against the Spurs, Biedrins blocked Duncan three blocks.

The old Nelson, who once served as the head coach of "Gorilla" Patrick Ewing, even sighed: "This is the best center I have ever coached."

In the next round, the Warriors served from the bottom line, and it took only three passes before the fast-down Biedrins completed an alley-oop slam dunk, ending the offense within 7 seconds.

And Dayao, who was in charge of defending him, was already a little tired, panting and supporting his knees, trying his best to relieve his shortness of breath.

In the TNT studio, Kenny Smith and Barkley rarely showed a serious face.

"The way the Warriors are playing right now is interesting, yes, interesting."

On the screen, the highlights of the two teams so far are being replayed.

"We can see that most of the goals scored by the Warriors seem to be concentrated in two points."

"Inside, and outside," Miller added.

"That's right, Old Nelson's team seems to have given up on mid-range play and began to pursue extreme efficiency. Charles, what do you think?"

Barkley touched his big head, "I really want to say that this is like a shit, without mid-range shots, basketball will lack a lot of wonderful moments."

"But as far as this game is concerned, at least this shit has successfully smoked the Rockets. This kind of tactic that is either a breakthrough or a three-pointer has given the Warriors a lot of opportunities and scored a lot of points. The Dragon is also in it. They are back. position as a leader.”

"Believe me, Kenny, this style of play can't make it to the end. I can easily blow up such a tactic. I'm not bragging. However, if they can rely on this tactic to complete the breakthrough, I will Will be happy for Long, after all I'm a big fan of him."

……

Of course Zhang Bolong couldn't hear Barkley's words,
But he agrees with Barkley's point of view.

The Warriors used the "magic ball tactic" that the Rockets were best at in their previous life.

To put it simply, "magic ball" refers to reducing or even refusing to shoot mid-range shots, and increasing the proportion of shots to the basket and three-pointers.

This is actually easy to understand. It is also a two-pointer, and the shooting rate at the basket is naturally higher. At the same time, it is better to cause fouls to get free throws. The mid-range shooting rate is relatively low, and it is not easy to be fouled by the opponent;

At the same time, compared with the middle distance, although the shooting rate of three-pointers will drop to a certain extent, but because the shooting will be one more point, as long as the shooting rate of three-pointers is more than 60% of the shooting rate of mid-range shooting, then the three-pointer is better than [-]-pointers. More efficient in the middle distance.

This style of play is effective in regular time and even the entire regular season, and it is also very suitable for the current configuration of the Warriors who can shoot suddenly.

Due to the long and tight schedule, each team will inevitably have a certain degree of discount in defensive investment, and the "magic ball" with a more efficient style of play will be easier to stand out in the long-term front.

This is why Zhang Bolong and old Nelson are willing to adopt it.

But this tactic also has inevitable drawbacks.

That is, the attacker is equivalent to actively giving up a weapon (middle distance), which also makes it easier for the opponent to defend against it.

Once the players on the team can't open the situation with three-pointers, the opponent's defensive strategy will tighten the basket, making it impossible for you to make a breakthrough, and the more you play, the more uncomfortable you will be.

Especially on the stage of the playoffs and finals, in many cases, the mid-range shot is the trick that kills the game.

In the previous life, the Rockets, which were invincible by the "magic ball", missed 27 consecutive three-pointers in the Western Conference finals, and finally lost to "Cosmos Brave". one side.

In the stage of high-intensity confrontation between the two sides, where there is no outside line and no space inside, it is often the unsolvable mid-range shot that can give the most fatal blow to the game.

Whether it is Durant to the Warriors or Leonard to the Raptors, no one can deny their importance.

However, for the current Warriors, it is still too far to consider the Western Conference Finals or the Finals.

The most important task right now is to use the most effective method to blaze a trail in the Wild West and lead the team back to the playoffs after more than ten years.

When the third quarter ended, the Warriors unexpectedly led by 89 points 81:8.

Running and bombing + magic ball, the Warriors, who are gradually taking shape in this tactical play, beat the Rockets by 9 points in a single quarter, and entered the final quarter with a big advantage.
