Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 788
The Warriors have already attached great importance to Olajuwon before the game. Although Drexler was traded this season, the Rockets will always be Olajuwon's team. The preferred tactic must be Olajuwon. Wang is the core.

For a long time, the Rockets' offense has been based on Olajuwon's personal offense on the inside. By attracting double-teams and distributing them to outside shots, this whole set of tactics is from the inside out.

And Olajuwon's offense is indeed unsolvable. While having long legs and long arms with amazing proportions like a big spider, Olajuwon is also completely worthwhile when facing a powerful center, even if It is the young and strong O'Neal, who can't please him in the card position with Olajuwon.

In addition to the necessary offensive ability of these centers, Olajuwon also has a historical level of ball feel and coordination, as well as the strong dribbling ability of a small forward.

Such Olajuwon is simply a bug in the penalty area, and Divac is like a slow-moving puppet in front of him, being played wantonly by Olajuwon.

In fact, let alone Divac, there are really not many centers in the league who are not played one-on-one by Olajuwon.

Once again, Olajuwon scored 5 points against Divac in just 8 minutes of the first quarter.

It can be said that an all-star center like Divac was completely blown away by Olajuwon.

But even so, the Warriors still have no idea of ​​changing their defense since the start of the game. The reason is simple, because the Warriors know that once they change their defense and double-team Olajuwon, their Warriors will die even worse. .

There is no other reason. The outside pitchers of the Rockets are not vegetarians.

This model has been used by the Warriors a few years ago.

It is for this reason that the Warriors remained unmoved in the face of Divac being slapped in a fancy way, but devoted their energy to the offense. Facing the Rockets' super defense in the offense, they still You can find ways to maintain a high offensive efficiency.

This may be difficult for others, but it is not difficult for the super offensive firepower of the Warriors. Relatively speaking, the pressure Divac faces in defense is even greater.

After the dunk was successful, Olajuwon frowned and fell to the ground, without even looking at Divac, he turned and ran towards his own half.

At this time, he didn't care about Divac who was defending him at all. Perhaps it could also be said that he didn't pay attention to Divac at all. All his energy was focused on the game situation at the moment.

Scoring consecutively by himself is not in line with his basketball philosophy. Like Li Weisi, he hopes to fully blossom than scoring high scores himself.

Generally, in the face of this situation, Olajuwon will choose to use his ability to force the opponent to change the defense, but the Warriors have made up their minds at this time and will not change, and the most important thing is that even if they attack so violently, the Rockets But it is still the one behind.

It's no wonder that compared to the Rockets' thriving, the Warriors' offense is more like a full bloom. Driven by Li Weisi, the Rockets also did not adapt to the Warriors' offense after the opening game, resulting in consecutive hits by different players of the Warriors. Came to 14:10.

It can't go on like this anymore, the Rockets must make changes, otherwise, they will only be suffocated a little bit in the rhythm of the Warriors.

The Warriors' offense is still the same as before. Divac mentioned the high position, and the others scattered around.

This time, Li Weisi handed the ball to Divac early and ran without the ball.

The Warriors' tactic itself is based on sacrificing part of Li Weisi's possession of the ball. After all, if the ball is always in Li Weisi's hands, the offensive firepower may be equally powerful, but others will only be like puppets. decrease very much.

Nelson has coached Li Weisi for nearly ten years, and one thing he has been trying to do is to reduce the Warriors' dependence on Li Weisi. Perhaps in his eyes, if Li Weisi really becomes dispensable, that is the strongest appearance of the Warriors.

Of course, such an imagination is really just an imagination. Even if Frank is exhausted to death, it is impossible for him to find four more people who are comparable to Li Weisi in the same team.

Now, when Divac holds the ball, Olajuwon is forced to guard him closely, otherwise his long shot can definitely punish Olajuwon. At the same time, Li Weisi already has a very large offensive threat without the ball, causing He ran in the Rockets penalty area, and immediately made the Rockets' penalty area jump around.

At this moment, Divac, through his excellent golf quotient, had already noticed the weakness of the Rockets' defense, and immediately passed the ball to Rodman who had just completed the pick-and-roll inside.

Murray, the fourth position of the Rockets defending Rodman, is the same height as Rodman, both 201cm, but the two are far different in body and defensive ability. The reason for running past caused him to lose his defensive position.

Therefore, after Rodman got the ball, he could attack the basket directly, and Murray had no chance to interfere with him at all.

Rodman has always had no desire to attack. He averaged the highest score per game in the Warriors season, which was more than 8 points and less than 10 points.

After all, in Rodman's mind, he believes that the Warriors are not short of scorers. Needless to say, Li Weisi, including Richmond and Mullin, have an average of 25+ per game, so they have always been in the offense. victim.

Therefore, Rodman believes that unless it is necessary, he is more willing to give up offensive opportunities to other teammates, and he will do the dirty work of defense and rebounding. Although these tasks are not as dazzling as scoring, in a team, there is always Someone needs to do it, and he is willing to pay for the team like this.

As for what is necessary, right now it is necessary.

Facing this wonderful pass from Divac to himself, Rodman also knew in his heart that there would be no better chance than this, so Rodman did not hesitate, turned around after getting the ball and prepared to dunk.

But when Rodman raised the ball over his head with both hands and was about to smash him into the basket, a big hand suddenly stretched out behind him and slapped the ball.

Under such a huge force, Rodman naturally couldn't control the ball, and the basketball immediately broke away from Rodman's hands, smashed hard on the basket, and bounced out.

Due to the rush of the process, Rodman failed to take off to grab the rebound immediately after landing, but Olajuwon behind him jumped high and successfully grabbed the rebound before Rodman.

This is the change Olajuwon wants to make when facing the team's backwardness. However, this is just defense. In addition to defense, of course there is offense!
