NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 8 Common Tactics Ahead of the Age

Floppy (loose) tactics are really simple.

But it is very efficient, otherwise it will not become the mainstream standard shooter tactic.

This tactic is that the two shooters perform a cross-running position on the blue background, and at the same time set up pick-and-rolls on the left and right sides.

But this tactic also has a certain test for the players.

First of all, the two shooters must have super shooting skills, which is the most basic.

The third is the pick-and-roll ability of the pick-and-roll players on both sides.

Because it is usually the wing players who perform the pick-and-roll, there is still a big difference in the quality of the pick-and-roll between the wing players and the inside players.

Of course the most important thing is.

The best organization in a team is generally the point guard, one point guard plus two shooters, does this team still need forwards and insiders?

Therefore, this is a great test of the organizational skills of strikers.

But for this Warriors team, everything was just right.

Green is the dealer, and Thompson and Curry are the shooters.

As for the pick-and-roll on the flanks, Su Chen directly chose to go to the two inside lanes for the pick-and-roll just to be on the safe side.

Ten years later, it would definitely not be possible to fight like this.

Let's not talk about the reason for the rationality of the lineup.

Even if it is the last attack.

In the team ten years later, the opposing coach or even a player with a higher golf quotient will have a rough guess as soon as they see this lineup.

Look at your double shooter drilling the blue background again, and you will see through it in an instant.

After all, the Floppy (loose) tactic is just a bad street shooter tactic, and others will know your intentions at a glance.

But not now.

For ten years ago, this tactic was still new.

Su Chen believed that Popovich would not have thought that when he was behind by one point, he would choose a three-pointer tactic instead of a steady two-pointer.

As for Tang Ku's touch, Su Chen had no choice but to believe it. After all, it was very common for the two of them to kill each other at critical moments.

Not to mention, under this tactic, there will probably be a lot of empty shooting space.

Moreover.

With Duncan sitting on the inside, Leonard's main defense is the mid-range, are the inside and mid-range really a better choice than the three-pointer?
Foul?
Even in the playoffs ten years later, at this critical moment, the whistle for rushing to the basket may not be given.

Not to mention, ten years ago now, when the whistle was looser.

"Everyone must be optimistic about the inside line. Leonard, you are in charge of sweeping the mid-range. If anyone makes a shot from the mid-range, just rush over!"

At this time, Popovich was also intensively deploying.

Although Su Chen played a lot of three-point tactics this time, this was the last attack!

Inside is the safest way, just one point difference, most coaches in this era will choose to go inside to get points.

The next best thing is the relatively more stable middle distance.

Pause ends.

Players from both sides play.

The Spurs' roster hasn't changed.

Popovich's complexion was not very good-looking at first, but when he saw the Warriors' lineup, his face was full of doubts for a while.

The Warriors sent: Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeri, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry.

Green generally plays inside, that is to say, the Warriors sent a combination of three inside?
"Am I not mistaken, the acting coach of the Warriors has sent a lineup of three insiders?"

"Maybe this new coach is planning to use the advantage of numbers to squeeze Duncan out of the penalty area hahaha."

“This is so much fun lol”

Even the live commentary was fun to watch.

The live broadcast room, which should have been tense and passionate, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Defense"

"Defense"

"Defense"

However, the Spurs fans were not in the mood to have fun, and all stood up to cheer for the home team.

After halftime, Curry held the ball in place and wasted time.

Although the three inside rebounds have an advantage, but Duncan is on the inside, and there is also blue-collar center Thiago Splitter's assistance.

Leonard's long arms and rebounding are not necessarily worse than Green's.

So there is no need to leave time for the inside to grab rebounds.

On the contrary, after the shot, it will give the Spurs another chance to attack and chase points.

10 seconds.

Green immediately brought it up.

The Spurs thought that Green's move up was a pick-and-roll, and immediately followed up.

But Curry just gave the ball to Green and slid toward the hoop.

At the same time, Thompson also pretended to use the pick-and-roll to run a three-pointer, but also slipped towards the basket.

"Sure enough, it's an inside cut, not a three-pointer."

Popovich looked serious.

The Spurs have already laid down a lot of defense in the interior. Neither Curry nor Thompson can complete the shot after receiving the ball at the basket.

"The Warriors' tactic is too mysterious. The big man is near the three-point line, and the two small men go to the basket."

"Fake running three without the ball, really cut inside, I have already used it just now."

"Popovich must have blocked the basket at such a critical moment, and he actually thought he could fool the Spurs naively."

When the live commentators saw this scene, they also thought it was very funny.

There were only five seconds left when Curry and Thompson entered the blue bottom through heavy screens and their own fake moves.

Many Warriors fans who watched the game on TV or the Internet shook their heads when they saw this scene, and some Warriors fans were afraid to watch it.

The two shooters actually collided under the basket.

But the two already knew the other would cut, and as if they had rehearsed a thousand words, they screened very well at the rim.

Both run toward the three-point line at the same time.

On the other hand, the Spurs' defense did not catch up immediately.

"Come up!"

Popovich can also see now that the ball was not intended to hit the inside or the middle distance at all.

This is a three-point tactic!
Leonard, who was in charge of sweeping the middle distance, immediately chased after Thompson.

Thompson scored a lot of points tonight. In Leonard's subconscious, he felt that Thompson's three-pointer tonight was more threatening.

It was Azeri who was responsible for Thompson's pick-and-roll. Su Chen had thought that Thompson would be under strict guard, so the pick-and-roll for Thompson was Azeri, who was relatively poor in pick-and-roll quality.

And Bogut, who has a better pick-and-roll quality, was given to Curry.

Green, who was defending Curry, was a slow shot, and then he was blocked by Bogut, who was in his position early, and no one helped him defend, which made Curry, who received the ball from outside the three-point line, almost a big open .

Curry kept counting the time silently in his mind, and it happened to be about two seconds before he caught the ball.

He still has a chance to adjust a little bit.

Standard shooting position.

The basketball is flying in mid-air.

hum. hum.
The beep sounded to signify the end of the game, but the ball had already been released and was still floating in the air.

The beautiful throwing arc of basketball affects the heartstrings of the people on the court.
