Basketball K God

Chapter 756

The pressure is on the Warriors.As for whether to flank Xie Kai, there are many discussions from the outside world.Some Warriors fans and some experts believe that Cole's team is too stubborn, it is simply a top iron, Xie Kai scored 50 points, you don't know how to attack, you have a brother and Klay in your hand, you can't be proud reason.They are indeed excellent defensive players, but the results have also seen that in a one-on-one situation, neither of them can limit Xie Kai.

But in an interview after the game, Cole still said that the team lost not because they were beaten by Xie Kai on the defensive end, but on the offensive end.He believes that the team's offense has not played its due effect, and it is difficult to win with such an offense.

Kerr's words made people who were dissatisfied with him stand up and accused him of being too immersed in winning games in the regular season. This is the playoffs. In the history of the NBA, defense has always won the championship. The attacking team can eventually reach the top.The Suns' offense was no worse than that of the Warriors back then, and they were killed in the West.

There are also Warriors fans who think that Cole is just a rookie coach, he can only direct the ball with the wind, and when he encounters adversity, he will not find his way without similar experience.

Who would have thought that Cole, who was blown to the sky before this game, would become the target of public criticism after one game.Competitive sports are like this. Many people only look at the results. You can’t lead your team to win, it just doesn’t work there.

Fortunately, the series is not over yet, the Warriors still have a chance, and Kerr also has a chance to prove whether he can do it or not.

On May 5, G26 of the Western Conference Finals will continue at the Oracle Center Arena in Oakland.

Shockingly, the Warriors changed in this game!
Moreover, although they only adjusted one player, this new lineup is shocking!
The Warriors' new lineup is Curry, Clay, North Carolina Blackhawks, Green and-Iguodala!
The Warriors replaced Bogut with Iguodala!And the first brother will also start the game for the first time in the playoffs!
As soon as the starting lineup was announced, many fans at the scene shouted "Oh Maiga"!

Is Cole crazy?
This is the first feeling of many Warriors fans.With Iguodala on the floor, that means the Warriors won't have a true big man.Green is indeed No. 4, but he is also Mini, his height is only 201cm, and he is still wearing shoes.If it is a physical height, he is not even 2 meters, only 198cm.

In this way, the tallest player on the Warriors' field will be the North Carolina Blackhawk Barnes who plays small forward. His height is 203cm.

But look at the Grizzlies, their small forward Jeff Green is 206cm tall, not to mention the white bear who plays center, who is over 213cm tall.

It is not uncommon for NBA teams to play small lineups. The Suns back then used a small lineup in which Dior, who was 203cm, played the center.But the defense of the small lineup of the Suns back then was eye-catching...

Now that the league is increasingly emphasizing 3-point shots and transition offenses, many teams are playing small lineups, but basically they are one big and four small. Like the Warriors, they are still starting with five small lineups. Really first.

Kerr likes small lineups. In the regular season, he often used small lineups in the closing stages of the game to decide the game.This can be seen in the dwindling playing time of Bogut and David Lee.

But it is also the first time for Cole to use this kind of 5-small lineup to start.

Some fans at the Oracle Center couldn't help shaking their heads. They thought Cole was either crazy or playing with fire.But there are also fans who believe that Cole is bold, dares to make decisive changes, and does not stick to some traditional lineups in the past. Maybe this can make the Warriors survive the Jedi!

Xie Kai was also very surprised. He knew that the Warriors like small lineups, but starting with 5 small lineups, this kind of bold change is indeed a rarity.

But he has also attracted attention. Obviously, the 5-small lineup seems to have obvious deficiencies on the defensive end, but also, the offensive end is also undefensible.

These are five forwards and guards who can all shoot 5-pointers. What about the black and white bears?
Once the opponent cannot pay a huge price on the offensive end, the defensive end will be under great pressure.

This is almost a double-edged sword. The offense does have unlimited space, and the defensive end defends the inside line and protects the frame, which is a natural weakness.

The game starts soon.

The Grizzlies are very experienced and give the ball more to the low-post black and white bears to attack.

The Warriors' strategy is to let Green face the Black Bears, and the North Carolina Blackhawks go around to defend the White Bears.Once the black and white bears catch the ball, they don't easily attack, wait until the 3-second zone, and then help defend against the attack.

If the black and white bears attack strongly and don't foul easily, they would rather not be able to defend and give 2 points.If the black and white bears pass the ball, cut off the passing route, use rotation to fill the position, and consciously empty Jeff Green's 3 points.

On the offensive end, the Warriors widened the space. Curry and Clay served as off-ball containment points, allowing Iguodala and Green to hold the ball, making it very difficult for the Grizzlies to deal with.

Once the black and white bears expand their defense, the Warriors pass without the ball, and the inside player can directly attack the basket.In this way, the Grizzlies' inside defensive height has no advantage at all.

But if you don't expand your defense, you have to endure the opponent's open 3 points, which is too heartbreaking.

The Grizzlies scored a 2-pointer at the basket, and the Warriors scored a 3-pointer.

The black bears have no advantage in singles against Green, but the white bears have a dislocation advantage, but he has never been a low-post attack expert. When the opponent pinches, his shooting percentage also begins to drop significantly.

So the Grizzlies played a round, and finally returned to Xie Kai's offense, because his offense is the most reliable.

But the problem for the Grizzlies is not the offense, but the defense.The power of the death 5 is not completely limited to the infinite space of positional warfare, but there are also 5 players who switch to attack all-in.

The Grizzlies have a slow pair of bears. Their defense is a problem, and they have been beaten more or less by their opponents many times.

Everyone in the Warriors can hold the ball or not. In the process of playing more and less, they played very reasonably and with extremely high efficiency.

The point difference was slowly widened. Even though Xie Kai was still unstoppable, the Warriors did not deliberately attack him.Still let Iguodala and Clay take turns to defend him.

Xie Kai couldn't prevent the opponent from expanding the score, because the opponent's offense had been fully opened.

When both Green and Iguodala can hit 3s, the Warriors' offense has been unstoppable...

The Grizzlies also made personnel adjustments and replaced the Black Bears, but after Arthur came on, he still couldn't stop the opponent's counterattack and pass.

Warriors fans at the Oracle Center were blessed because they saw the home team play one of the best games of the series so far.Those who questioned Cole have forgotten all the things that cursed him and were dissatisfied with him before, and their eyes are full of "True Fragrance Series".
