NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 246 So how will Lillard deal with it?
Although last season, Su Chen also did the same thing when he coached the Timberwolves, who had the same lineup but did not dominate.

But at that time, the Timberwolves' defensive efficiency was among the top three in the league, and there were no defensive shortcomings in the lineup.

The infinite switching defense system that the Timberwolves are good at is exactly the type of play that can be used against the Warriors.

Although Su Chen's performance last season was also very good, it was not as incredible as it is now.

There are obvious defensive shortcomings in the Clippers' lineup now.

Jokic was targeted by the Warriors' style of play.

The Clippers didn't play Jokic, but Lillard, which they didn't understand before the game.

If Su Chen chooses Jokic and replicates the Timberwolves' forward lineup from last season, the effect will be surprising but understandable.

But now Jokic is not playing and he is still exerting counter-pressure. What kind of coach can do such a thing?

"This starts with Cole's first timeout. Cole did make a corresponding strategy to break box-1, and that strategy was very reasonable."

"Even if we know that the Warriors need Thompson to step up to break the game, when there is one less defender in other positions, we still have to keep an eye on the opponent's elite shooter. At the same time, we must take into account other positions to not miss the corner three-pointer or easily cut inside to the basket."

"For other coaches in the league, even if they form a coaching staff, they may not be able to do this."

After Kenny Smith thought for a while, he expressed his opinion.

After hearing Kenny Smith's answer, several people also thought about it.

It seems that is the case.

The Warriors can put one person in the corner, then the Clippers need to defend 2 and 3.

The Warriors put two people in the bottom corner, then the Clippers need to defend 1 against 2.

Whether it is a 2-to-3 defense or a 1-to-2 defense, it is difficult to do this when the opponent has a top shooter.

This is why Su Chen used Box-1 tactics many times when he won the championship before, but other teams rarely followed suit.

For coaches of other teams, when the opponent has two cores, it is very difficult to arrange 1 to defend 2 or 2 to defend 3.

Not to mention that the opponent has a dual core, even if the others are role players, it will be difficult to arrange defense if they cooperate properly.

"Cole was guessed when he took the first timeout, which made Cole's subsequent offensive arrangements more stable."

O'Neill also added after listening. "But Su Chen is still so aggressive. You can't act weaker than him in front of him."

Johnson said with a smile.

Su Chen's playing style is so unreasonable, and he often makes some very powerful operations.

Su Chen led the team to sweep a lot of teams. The reason why he was able to sweep was because Su Chen didn't play hard enough and was directly ridiculed.

"It feels a little difficult for the Warriors to enter the transition period with such a score, and Lillard hasn't played yet."

Buckley remembered this.

Everyone suddenly thought about it when they heard it. They were all too focused on Su Chen's tactical performance and suddenly forgot that there was a super scorer in the Clippers.

Originally, when comparing before the game, Lillard was basically incomparable across the board when it came to Curry.

The three-point ability with the ball is a weakened version of Curry. Without the ball, it is not as good as Curry, and the organization is also not as good as Curry.

Curry is stronger at mid-range micro-control and slightly weaker at driving to the basket.

Even in Curry's weakest defense, Lillard is almost on par with Curry. He is simply a weakened version of Curry.

But that depends on who you compare with.

Compared with Curry, it is naturally a weakened version, but now Lillard's playing time is staggered with Curry.

When Lillard is better than you with players like Livingston and Barbosa, that's more than one level better.

Don’t mistake the weakened version of Curry for Curry!
As a starter, he can't compare to Curry, but if he has to play as a sixth man, then Lillard is the strongest sixth man in the league right now.

Rondo and Curry compete, but they don't overlap with Curry.

At least Rondo's defense, organization, and breakthrough are still better than Curry.

It's not like Lillard and Curry overlap too much.

Rondo and Curry, there are differences, both have their own merits.
