Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 627 Believe in teammates
The Warriors were the first to attack.

Lambiel, who is already a 33-year-old veteran, has had a significant decline in physical function, so it is difficult to jump the ball to beat the young Divac.

The offense of the Warriors' lineup is of course nothing to say. No matter what kind of defense they face, they have a way to score the ball.

In this attack, Divac held the ball in a high position, the Warriors three went around to cover, and Rodman continued to use pick-and-rolls to create opportunities for the Warriors' three outsiders.

After a series of tactics, Mullin finally got this opportunity. After all, Aguirre is 31 years old. In addition, he is a scorer. Naturally, he cannot compare with Thomas and Dumars in defense. Therefore, the opportunity appeared It's normal for him here.

Mullin, who received the ball, was unlucky in order to grab this fleeting opportunity. He directly chose to shoot and completed a three-pointer before Aguirre arrived.

After the three-point line is shortened, it makes his three-pointers more confident. Compared with Li Weisi, although he is not as good as Li Weisi in the ultra-long three-pointer, but the three-point shooting rate alone is already comparable to Li Weisi. Comparable.

The first shot of "God's Left Hand" was naturally powerful. The basketball flew into the basket accurately as if it had been equipped with precision guidance. 3:0, Mullin scored the first for the Warriors.

As mentioned earlier, the Warriors' offense has never been a problem. The problem lies in whether they can defend against the opponent's offense. This is the key to the outcome of the game.

The offensive system of the Pistons is naturally not as complicated as that of the Warriors. Speaking of which, the lineup of the Pistons is somewhat similar to that of the Warriors.

The main offensive firepower is all scattered on the outside. Inside, Saili can only defend but not attack. Lambiel can open up space and shoot long shots.

Perhaps the only difference between the two lineups is that Lambiel's defense is better than Divac's.

With the Warriors winning two consecutive championships, other teams in the league have also strengthened their understanding of court space.

You know, before this, almost all teams were trying to accumulate height, thinking that only the closer to the basket would be the closer to the championship.

But after the Warriors won the championship, people suddenly discovered that as long as you shoot accurately and trade area for height, you can also win the championship.

Therefore, the league's shooters have suddenly become popular in the past two years. Almost every team will prepare one or two for their own team.

Although the Pistons do not have so-called pure shooters, after all, most shooters are difficult to integrate into the Pistons' defensive system. However, the main attackers of the Pistons are not weak in shooting, and Lambiel is a rare space type. The center makes the Pistons' offensive space not particularly narrow.

This attack was like this. Dumars successfully broke through Richmond's defense with the help of the pick-and-roll, and completed a mid-range jumper before the arrival of Rodman's help defense. The ball was scored and the score was changed to 3:2.

Since the beginning of this season, Dumars has officially taken over the team's offensive banner from Thomas and has become the leading scorer in the Pistons.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack again. This time the Pistons learned a lesson and strengthened their defense against the Warriors running without the ball. Even at critical moments, they did not hesitate to make substitutions and never gave the Warriors the slightest chance to shoot.

It has to be said that excluding the unnecessary actions of the Pistons in defense, in terms of the execution of defensive tactics, it is definitely in the forefront of the league.

Being able to tame this group of bad boys and let them be banned on the court like an army shows that Chuck Daly's ability is extraordinary.

In fact, the coaches who can win the championship in history have two brushes. They can't win the championship just by relying on chicken soup and hard work. Their own tactical literacy is far higher than 99% of the people on this planet, so Not at all, I know more about football than the coaches.

The Pistons' substitutions indeed suppressed the Warriors' shooting space to a certain extent, but at the same time, it also created a dislocation in the defensive formation.

For this kind of opportunity, the Warriors will certainly not miss it. They must punish the Pistons to make them lose confidence in switching defenses, so as to make their offense more calm.

This time it was Richmond who was misplaced. Li Weisi hit the ground and passed the ball, escaped Thomas' defense who blocked his pass, and sent the ball to Richmond accurately.

At this time, John Salley was defending Richmond, a power forward with a height of 211cm. Although his speed was the fastest among power forwards, it was still difficult to keep up with Richmond's footsteps.

I saw that Richmond was a three-threat first trying to mobilize Saili's defensive center of gravity. After realizing that Saili's center of gravity had moved, he immediately bent down and broke through from Saili's left side.

During the breakthrough, although Sali couldn't keep up with Richmond, he was not stupid. He kept making contact with Richmond with his body, trying to influence Richmond.

But after more than two years of tempering in the league, Richmond at this time is physically stronger than the same period in the original time and space, especially the strength of his upper body, which is far from comparable to "Noodle Man" Saili.

In this way, when the breakthrough was more than three meters away from the basket, he chose an elegant backward jumper. At this time, although Sally lost his position defensively, after jumping up, his hands could still interfere with Richmond. , This is the benefit of long arms.

Not only that, Lambiel, who has a very keen sense of defense, did not know when he came to Richmond at this time. He seized the timing just right and took off with all his strength, trying to block Richmond.

Facing the simultaneous defense of the Pistons' two major insiders, Richmond was not afraid at all. When he was drifting in the air, he did not choose to pass the ball hastily, because he knew that the possibility of passing the ball was more likely at this time.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, we can only move forward bravely.

He took the initiative to increase the shooting point, bypassed the palms of the two, and shot the ball. Although doing so would reduce the shooting percentage, it was obviously better to miss the shot than to be blocked or even caught.

Besides, with Rodman at the basket, it is really uncertain who will get the rebound.

Sure enough, when Richmond shot, Rodman was already waiting at the basket, and at the same time stuck Aguirre to grab a rebound.

But when the ball had already flown to the upper part of the basket, Rodman suddenly vented his strength and was robbed by Aguirre. Although Aguirre didn't understand what was going on with Rodman, he didn't want to miss this rob When there was a chance for a rebound, he jumped up quickly, ready to take the first step and get the rebound.

But at this moment, Rodman's faint voice came from behind Aguirre: "The ball has been scored, don't grab it!"

Aguirre's heart "thumped", he quickly got rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, and stared at the basketball seriously. Sure enough, the basketball fell directly into the basket as Rodman said, and it was still hollow.

After landing, Aguirre was very surprised to see this scene, and couldn't help but look back at Rodman.

Unexpectedly, Rodman seemed to have known that Aguirre would look at him. After the two looked at each other, they grinned and said, "That's how I trust my teammates!"
