Chapter 306 The Change of the Warrior
In the first round of the playoffs, the second team in the East to get the match point was the Wizards.
When the Wizards reached the playoffs, players continued to stand up. There are usually two situations for players who are not that strong but have a lot of players. The first is that they can play but are not good enough. They don’t know who to play for important games. , The Wizards are the second type. There are always players who can't take care of the opponent's defense, and then give surprises.
This time they played well with Ariza. Ariza had a burst of three-pointers. In the first half, he helped the team take a double-digit lead and scored 30 points. The Bulls had no choice but to drink their hatred.
The Bulls are also suffering. First they target the core of the Wizards, and then the Wizards stand up inside. After defending the inside and outside, they can't stand up. There is an X factor when they are well defended.
In the game between the Raptors and the Nets, the Raptors relied on the stable performance of DeRozan and Lowry, relying on the team's focused defense, won the away game and turned the total score into 2:2.
Watching this game, you can see that the stars of the Nets are really old. In the crucial fourth quarter, no one can stand up and score. It is also embarrassing to think of their peak strength.
Therefore, you can't spend all your money on the older ones. Even if Tuhao.com barely beats the Raptors in its current state, it is impossible to beat the opponents behind.
The problem with the Raptors' outside double guns is that they are unstable. When the feel is good, it will kill the Quartet. When the feel is not good, there are few ways to solve the problem.
In the West, apart from the Nuggets, no other team has won the match point.
In the fourth game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers, the situation changed slightly.
First, the Thunder strengthened their defense against Aldridge, and both sides have a tendency to play the main force.
The two teams do not continue to simply compete in the core scoring ability. In fact, they are both uncomfortable and have new surprises.
Reggie Jackson stood up from the Thunder, and the Blazers Batum and Matthews stood up.
The two sides fought hard until overtime, and the Blazers, who were stronger and more physically strong, won the game by surprise. The total score of their group became 2:2.
I said before that the top three in the Western Conference are the only one, but I didn't expect that everyone would have combat effectiveness in the playoffs.
Various targeted arrangements, in the end it really depends on the grasp of the details and the unreasonableness of the stars.
If the Warriors hadn't suffered injuries, it is estimated that the Nuggets would not be so easy.
After a day of rest, the Nuggets and Warriors also started their fourth game.
This time the Warriors finally chose to change their lineup. Jermaine O'Neal's defense against Xiang Chu was really not effective. They directly let Draymond Green start.
Draymond Green's biggest change in starting the Warriors is not the defensive end, but the offense.
The offensive end is not the threat of Draymond Green pulling out to shoot three-pointers. This buddy is good at organizing. He plays the main force, and the Warriors' outside tactics are more diversified.
The Nuggets' defense did not react immediately, and Curry scored 5 points by hitting 17 three-pointers in the first quarter. The Warriors also led by double digits because of Curry's superb performance.
It’s really difficult to prevent Curry from going crazy. It’s not just a problem of blocking the three-point line. The Nuggets’ shooters may be blocked and unable to shoot, but Curry is different. He can create his own shooting opportunities. The Warriors also have cover tactics. Make shots.
After the Warriors focused on playing outside tactics, the tricks they used were not at all what a team like the Nuggets, which mainly focused on inside, would spend time practicing.
In addition, the Nuggets' bench efficiency is not very high, not as good as the Warriors Barnes alone.
Xiang Chu wants to help defend inside, but now the Warriors' offense basically doesn't come in.
To be honest, they rarely encountered such a thing. The Warriors used to play the three-pointer and often let David Lee play first in the paint. They did not expect that they could completely play the three-pointer.
The previous three-point teams in the league didn't play like this. The Suns' running and bombing was to take advantage of the defensive position to shoot, but the Warriors are now in a good position and they can force a three-pointer.
This is unbelievable. Logically, such a three-pointer is difficult to shoot accurately. It can only be said that Curry and Thompson are too good, especially Curry. I have never seen a player like him. If there is a problem, he will shoot outside, cold-blooded killer.
Xiang Chu was also very envious when he saw it, and the picture of their combination involuntarily appeared in his mind. Unfortunately, the All-Star Curry did not show such momentum at all. It is difficult for the two of them to really cooperate in their careers.
The Nuggets also quickly adjusted in the second quarter. No matter how the Warriors cover, anyway, their defense is to go to Curry first, so that Curry's shooting percentage will come down.
The Warriors were not slow to react. After the Nuggets made a targeted defense, they handed the ball to David Lee to play the [-]th position.
Throughout the first half, the Warriors did their best in all aspects, but defending Xiang Chu was a little troublesome.
They try to avoid fouls, interview pass defense lines and pincers to limit Xiang Chu.
However, Draymond Green still committed three fouls, allowing O'Neal to come up for a while.
Except for O'Neal who was forced to play, the Warriors actually had only Barnes on the bench. If they lost, they would go home, and the main force would be fine. This is a common trick for everyone in the playoffs.
Therefore, a team with a large gap between the main force and the substitute may also have a large gap in combat power in the regular season and playoffs.
During the intermission, the Nuggets took a look at the situation in the first half, and adjusted the details of the defense again.
The offense can often be solved by relying on the talent of the players, but the defense must have tactics, especially in modern basketball, where there are so many routines. If the details are not handled well, it is easy to have vacancies.
There were a lot of heads-ups between players like before, but now there are fewer and fewer.
More are various cover moves, which require more concentration from defensive players.
But no matter how good the tactics are, it ultimately depends on the ability of the players to execute them.
All-star players have their own unique skills. Even if the opponent's defense is in place, they can still score. What can they do?
And some players have strong physical fitness, and the opponent is obviously open, and they step forward to make up for the defense, which will also cause psychological shadows.
In the third quarter, the Nuggets' defense can be said to be the best in several games.
Curry, Thompson and David Lee took good care of the three strong points, but at this time, Iguodala, who had never had a strong sense of presence in the Warriors, stepped forward.
Iguodala was the boss and was selected as an All-Star. In fact, he is not too old. It is reasonable for him to explode, but the previous situation made the Nuggets' defense unable to care about him at all.
In the third quarter, the defense has reached the extreme and has not succeeded in chasing points. The Nuggets players are also a little discouraged.
At the end of the quarter, Curry threw a fairy ball again, and everyone knew that there was little hope for this game.
