NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

The Golden State Warriors' defensive strategy in the next game will still be based on the tactics they used to win the previous two games.

"Ye Huan's Law" appeared in Staples Center for the first time in history!

However, this third place winner from Dragon Country would not be hit by the same trick twice.

The tenacious Clippers players will not be defeated by the same trick three times.

The effect of "Ye Huan's Rule" was visibly weakened. The two teams took turns leading in the first half of the first quarter, and the score was always very tense.

In the middle of the first quarter, Draymond Green made a pass error.

The game enters a dead ball round.

Coach Kerr made a substitution based on the clock, bringing on Livingston and Cousins ​​for Iguodala and Thompson.

At the same time, on the Clippers side, Rivers waved his hand.

Lopez and Jeff Green hurried off the court, and they were replaced by Lou Williams and Grace Allen!

"The Golden State Warriors made a substitution adjustment, they let Iguodala and Thompson rest!"

"The Los Angeles Clippers also made their own substitutions. They replaced Lopez and Jeff Green... and so on!"

When Smith saw the Clippers' lineup on the court, he was stunned for several seconds.

"Did I read that correctly?"

"Did Coach Rivers hire the wrong guy?"

"They don't have any inside players in their current lineup!"

It’s not just as simple as not having inside players!

Look at the current lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Except for Carmelo Anthony who is over two meters tall, the rest of the players are not taller than two meters.

"The Los Angeles Clippers replaced the absolute height of the team with a small lineup whose height is all below 2.03 meters!"

"This is so rare....because no one has ever tried a five-guard lineup in the playoffs in this era!"

Although the "Death Five" has left an indelible impression in the history of the NBA, you have to know that even the Golden State Warriors' Death Five lineup has three players who are over 2 meters tall.

The Los Angeles Clippers bucked the trend and switched to a five-guard lineup. How could the commentators not be shocked? ?

Not only the commentators, but even Kerr, who is good at playing small lineups, was surprised.

"In the next period of time, we have to change our tactics and strategy!"

Coach Kerr is not a fool. He will not make the right judgment because of shock.

The Clippers actually gave up the height in the interior, so Dekumar Cousins ​​has an absolute advantage in the penalty area.

Kerr knows very well that Cousins ​​currently does not have the ability to blow up the Clippers' inside line by himself.

But his height advantage is not limited to his scoring ability.

The wider passing vision and the greater advantage in rebounding protection will be achieved.

These are the benefits of altitude!

After both teams have made substitutions, the two teams are back on the field!

Due to a mistake made by the Warriors before the dead ball, all possession of the ball was given to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Before Anthony threw the ball from the sideline, Livingston had already closely guarded Lou Williams.

Even though Iguodala and others left the court, the Warriors' defensive strategy against the Clippers remained unchanged.

But unfortunately...

Anthony didn't pass the sideline ball to Lou Williams this time.

At the center line, Ye Huan received a pass from Anthony and quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Curry and Durant quickly double-teamed him, and Ye Huan took advantage of Beverly's pick-and-roll, then dribbled behind his back through the gap between the two defenders.

On the wing, seeing Ye Huan breaking into the penalty area, the Warriors' defense quickly contracted.

Durant and Curry were just as quick in their pursuit behind him.

Facing a situation with wolves in front and tigers behind, Ye Huan jumped up and passed the ball to Grace Allen outside the left three-point line!

That's exactly where the Warriors left their mark!

Facing an absolutely open opportunity, Allen made a slight adjustment and shot from outside the three-point line!

"The 18 rookie who just came on the court, Grace Allen, who is also from Duke University like Ye Huan, scored a three-pointer!"

"Ye Huan's breakthrough attracted the defensive attention of most of the Warriors team!"

"This Los Angeles Clippers lineup is interesting, but what are they going to do on defense!?"

What to do on defense! ?

With the firepower output on the offensive end, who cares about the defensive end! ?

How to think about defense should be something the defending champion should consider!

Transition of possession!

Warriors attack!

At the top of the arc, Curry and Draymond Green initiated a pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, the ball was passed to Durant outside the left three-point line, but he missed!

Grace Allen desperately grabbed the rebound, passed the ball to Ye Huan and then launched a defensive counterattack!

While moving, facing Livingston's steal, he made an extremely coquettish transition to dribble past the defender Livingston, then accelerated and rushed to score!

Behind him, Anthony, Lou Williams, Beverly and others all started running wildly!

The Warriors' defense is completely fundamental!

Curry, the only one who returned to defense, could only barely intercept in front of Ye Huan.

The other four players of Lou Williams have already spread out in a fan shape along the outside three-point line!

Facing Curry's defense alone, Ye Huan was not obsessed with scoring.

Pass the ball to Lou Williams outside the left three-point line.

Lou Williams received the ball, made a slight adjustment, and shook off Livingston who was rushing behind him, then passed the ball to Grace Allen in the corner!

"Shh!"

Allen received the ball without any hesitation and made another shot from outside the three-point line!

After the Los Angeles Clippers came on the court with a small lineup, they made two consecutive three-pointers and launched a 6:0 wave!

More importantly, they completed the scoring in a very short time!

After acquiring two big men, Jeff Green and Lopez, the Clippers' offense-defense transition speed instantly increased!

The running on the field continues!

Even if the Warriors tried their best to slow down the pace and let Cousins ​​dominate in the interior.

But even if Cousins ​​scored, the Clippers' advancement speed did not slow down!

The rhythm that seemed stable in the first half of the first quarter changed instantly after the Clippers changed their lineup!

The number of rounds on the court kept changing, and the Warriors players were sweating more and more.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on the sidelines was also a little anxious!

He has absolute confidence in his players!

He also believes that if any one of the team's top five stars explodes, there is a possibility of taking away the game.

The thing is, they are the Big Five.

But the Clippers' players on the field are much younger than them. After four consecutive games of high-intensity confrontation, the Warriors players are now completely unable to compare with the Clippers in terms of physical strength!

Especially Ye Huan, he is like an indestructible cockroach!
