Chapter 278 G2 22vs35

Durant faced Yang on the offensive end, this time it was not Tatum who defended him in this game.

"Durant singles Yang, you say how about we make a bet? Just bet on whether the goal will be scored or not."

"This kind of bet is a bet on luck, I don't want to bet with you"

"I don't bet on it either. The two of them are incomparable in the offensive end. No one knows whether their shots will make it or not except for the touch."

The betting on the sidelines was in full swing, and Durant, who didn't know all this on the court, started his offensive action:

Trial Step Three Threats
"Choose one of the three? It's a pity that it's wrong to choose which one, because he is Durant." Seeing Durant's tentative step three threats, Yang could only sigh and passively follow him to shift his center of gravity to the right.

Do you just pull it out? ? ?
"Let's jump!" Faced with Durant who suddenly pulled up his low center of gravity, Yang, who knew he couldn't defend himself, still jumped up to interfere
There was no accident after the jump, and two points were lost;
Because he knows that Durant's height, long wingspan, and shots formed by high release points, he can't exert any influence, just like...

"Embiid and the outside shooters have been watched, McConnell can't find anyone who can pass the ball,

"Time is running out
Someone asked for the ball on the right waist, it was Yang;”

"With four seconds left, Andre Iguodala has pushed himself to the opponent's waist, how should Young choose???

It's a turnaround jumper! ! !

"Oh, a beautiful shot, this difficult shot is the best counterattack to Durant's pull."

In the offensive round of the 76ers, because everyone's passing routes were marked to death, the team's offense was stuck. According to the division of labor, Yang took over the last few seconds, and didn't even look at Iguodala who was stuck behind him.

13:15
76ers take back the lead again
Knocking on the head, Curry passed the tactical gesture to his teammates as well as his opponent after holding the ball halfway

"Head Knock" was born out of Steve Kerr's best Bulls days as a player
The triangle offense that Bulls coach Phil Jackson was best at at the time
“Low Post Entry”

Not only the Golden State Warriors used it, but the Philadelphia 76ers also used it in some rounds after Young and Embiid got together

Therefore, the process of this strategy is very clear

switch early
Tatum gave Embiid the signal to switch the same moment he tapped the signal

Switch again

Facing Jordan Bell who put on the screen, Tatum decisively changed defenses
switch defense
No way, Stephen Curry's excellent three-point ability makes him and Durant's pick-and-roll must be switched

{slow! ! ! ! }
{Fortunately, he didn't make a move}

I don't know why, Stephen Curry didn't rush to shoot the three-pointer this time
to Durant

"It was a good opportunity just now, why didn't you make a shot?" While looking at Jordan Bell's current position, he talked to Curry, and at the same time, his feet were not idle, matching Curry's running pace without the ball

With one mind and three tasks, Yang quickly proved his ability

抢过
Jordan Bell's not-so-good screen was snatched by Yang who was ready in advance
"That's not a good opportunity, I will definitely be seriously interfered by you if I want to force it."

Seeing that Durant didn't reply to himself, Curry also stopped and started talking.

Catch the ball, turn over, shoot
Durant fully absorbs the space opened by Curry, thus completing the undisturbed 1V1
15:15
The gap that opened up was smoothed out in a blink of an eye

Offensive dominance is once again in the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers
Embiid at halftime
After handing over the ball, McConnell gave the tactical start gesture

sideways
Embiid, who was holding the ball, used his body to protect the ball perfectly, and did not allow Jordan Bell to find a chance to pull out the ball

"DHO, watch out for mid lane"

When the ball was given to Young, Iguodala began to direct his teammates to block the space in the middle
especially in the middle of the free throw line

Starting up, Richardson, who was sneaking around the corner to hide himself, picked up the pace

"boom"

"Wedge"

The screen didn't hang for long as Jordan Bell returned to his defensive position after a delay
McConnell, who got the ball back from Young, immediately lobbed it to Embiid
"boom"

"boom"

Two hits nearly cost Jordan Bell his defensive position
Flank
Andre Iguodala let go of his defender to help Jordan Bell who was getting gouged in
Cut
Another sneaky 76ers player boots up
ball again

Short passing is a skill that Embiid has mastered

wait a second

dunk with both hands
Dodging Durant who came to block, Tatum once again hung on the basket belonging to the Golden State Warriors.

15:17
"Beautiful dunk, now there are 3 minutes and 19 seconds before the end of the first quarter"

"The bottom corner is empty"

Embiid didn't get out of the basket this time, making the corner a hole in the defense
long diagonal pass

Iguodala, as a leader in reading defensive adaptability, of course also discovered the existence of this loophole

scan

Embiid, who is a dead horse as a living horse doctor, chooses to straighten his arms and sweep in the direction of the ball and the Warriors players

"Bang" was caught by Embiid when it was estimated that it would only succeed once a hundred times.

Embiid hits the ball in the direction of McConnell and Livingston
right edge

"No. 34 turnover, Philadelphia 76ers possession."

"Watch video"

"Watch video"

…………

Neither Steve Kerr nor Stephen Curry are satisfied with the result of encountering Livingston out of bounds.

Unanimous request to watch the video
…………

"OK, we agree to watch the video." Because it was not the last 2 minutes, the three referees had the right to believe in themselves and not watch the video.

They don't force it here, though.

"McConnell didn't touch, that's a sure fact"

"The decision now is whether Embiid hit the out of bounds or Livingston hit it."

"Embiid definitely came across it."

"Watch Livingston Now"

"I can't see it from this angle"

"I can't see it from this angle"

"Seeing it clearly from this angle, the ball hit Livingston and changed the flight trajectory again."

"No. 34 turnover, Philadelphia 76ers possession"

James Karpas gave a gesture to keep the Warriors out of bounds.

The back-and-forth balance between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors was broken by Iguodala's pass error.

…………

…………

Taking advantage of the gap between Livingston and Embiid going out of bounds, the ESPN trio completely analyzed the tactics of the 76ers' previous attack

"When McConnell gave the ball to Embiid, the play was already in motion."

"When Embiid gives the ball to Young at 45 degrees"

"The first trap set for the defensive player has appeared. If there is no reaction, it is hand-to-hand to the middle."

"If you choose to block the middle, then Richardson in the right corner will activate and hang up the screen at the moment Embiid turns and cuts low."

"Because of the cover set up behind Jordan Bell, Jordan Bell has no way to bypass the cover when the line of sight is in the blind spot."

"After discovering that Jordan Bell was gouged by Embiid and lost his defensive position, Iguodala chose to flank to ease Embiid's imminent loss of points."

"After all, Embiid is the 76ers' current highest scorer on the court."

"But the flanking creates another situation."

"Tatum went from spacing the floor to cutting to the rim"

"In order to avoid affecting the space, Richardson immediately ran in the direction of Young"

"Although Livingston is aware of the problem, the increase in age prevents him from keeping up with Tatum's acceleration."

"With Tatum overtaking, the hanging frame dunk became an inevitable situation."
