Chapter 796 No suspense, the biggest flaw

Chapter 796 No suspense, the biggest flaw

The East and West finals have not yet started, but the discussions about the game are already raucous.

All the media and experts are very consistent about the discussion of the Western Conference:

"In the game between the Warriors and the Mavericks, the Mavericks will definitely change their tactics. Nurkic will become a substitute, and Kevin Durant will play power forward and guard the inside. In this way, the advantage of the Warriors' lineup will be reduced to a minimum. Now it's time to test Cole!"

There is almost no suspense in the game between the Mavericks and the Warriors this season.

Facing the dead five small lineups, the Mavericks will definitely choose to change.

Durant plays inside and increases inside mobility. With Gobert added, the Warriors' offense will be greatly curbed.In this way, it will be difficult for the Warriors' five-death lineup, which can be called the league's strongest offensive tactic, to play.

But... changing other tactics is even worse.

In other words, the Warriors are now in a stalemate.

Steve Kerr sat in the office with a helpless expression on his face. He knew the Mavericks' lineup had changed, but he was helpless because the Warriors players had very clear characteristics and there was nothing they could do.

"If Draymond Green shoots more than [-]% of his three-pointers, this game can still be won!"

Steve Kerr thought in his heart, but there was no way.

This season, the Warriors' offensive tactics are very strong, and the tactics of the Splash Brothers have been brought to the extreme. Role players such as McCaw and Iguodala, driven by the Splash Brothers, have a very high performance value.

Draymond Green was one of the surprises of the Warriors draft.

Drummond Green has an excellent defense and can dislocate five positions. He is the Warriors' defensive barrier, and his passing is excellent, averaging more than five assists per game.

But... Green's shortcomings are also obvious.

Green's three-point shooting percentage this season is just over [-]%.

That's right, Wade would have to kneel when he saw this hit rate.James is a sharpshooter compared to him.During the regular season, the Splash Brothers encountered countless double-teams. Drummond Green was open on the outside. After receiving the pass, he took aim, then made a three-pointer, and hit the iron with a bang.

This is really a sad story.

If Drummondlin's three-pointer is perfect, then the Warriors' offense will be difficult to defend.

On May 5, in the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks played against the Warriors at home.

The game was as expected.Durant plays on the inside, and Brogdon, James Ennis and Qin Yang on the outside. This lineup has a strong offense and a strong defense.

With the jump ball, Gobert won without any suspense.

Qin Yang dribbled the ball for halftime, Klay Thompson defended Qin Yang, Iguodala defended Durant, and Draymond Green faced Gobert.

If Gobert's offense is strong, it's easy to beat Draymond Green by taking advantage of his height and wingspan.This misalignment is obvious.

Dribbling the ball slowly, Qin Yang was not in a hurry.

Durant asked for a position close to the basket, Qin Yang stood in a high position, took the ball and then made a pass, Durant and Iguodala inside tried desperately to grab the position.

Qin Yang made a false fax shot and easily made a three-pointer.

Klay Thompson didn't expect it at all.

Whoosh!

A three-pointer was scored.

Off the court, Steve Kerr shouted loudly when he saw this scene:

"Defense, pay attention to defense, don't give them an easy shot!"

Steve Kerr was very angry. When the Warriors emphasized defense before the game, the focus was on oppressive defense, no fouls, but no easy shots for opponents.

Qin Yang's shooting is too abnormal, and Durant's shooting is also among the strongest players in the league.

Almost all other role players are good at shooting. Isn't it uncomfortable for such an opponent to let them shoot easily?

But at the beginning, Qin Yang voted just like this.

Warriors attack.

Outside screen, Drummond Green pulled out, after Curry screened, he encountered an offer and passed it to Drummond Green, Green was empty from the three-point line, glanced at his teammates, and finally passed to Iguodala who made an air cut.

Iguodala made an air cut layup and hit Durant's defense.

Tencent Live Hall.

Teacher Wei Ping was happy again:

"In this round of the series, the Mavericks will win. The Warriors' shooting is not good. Look at Draymond Green. His shooting is too bad. He dare not shoot open three-pointers. This is too bad for morale. This scene reminds me of Rajon Rondo!"

Rondo expressed his innocence, he didn't dare to do anything, and was pulled out to flog the corpse again!

Green's shooting problem is too big. Although he passes the ball well, he has taken on part of the Mavericks' organizational responsibilities, his defense is excellent, and his rebounding is also outstanding in the same position, but his poor shooting ability is a big problem.

That is to say, the Warriors, Curry and Kara Thompson's shooting ability is too strong, which makes up for Green's shortcomings.

Otherwise, Green and Tristan Thompson, Rajon Rondo and other players of this type must be anxious to death.

Three do not shoot, how to play the game.

Although the Warriors scored a goal, the situation is not good.

The Mavericks' strategy is very simple, strictly guard against others, let Drummond Green shoot, Gobert and Kevin Durant are at the basket, and the defense is very powerful.

Iguodala can occasionally find a shot, but it is unrealistic to want to be the main scoring point.

Curry and Klay Thompson were also embarrassed and were strictly guarded by the Mavericks.

The Mavericks have three players on the outside, who are always helping to defend and double-team. They don't give them the opportunity to easily break through and shoot. The defense is very oppressive.

Curry felt good for the first time, scoring 8 points and 3 assists.

But the Mavericks led by 6 points in the first quarter.

Strong suppression, there is no way.

Qin Yang scored 14 points and 3 assists, and Durant scored 6 points and 4 rebounds. The two worked together to completely suppress the Warriors. Even if the Warriors sent five dead players, it would not help.

In the first quarter, the situation is determined.

During the break in the first quarter, Coach Carlisle continued to make arrangements. In the second quarter, Nurkic will play, and Corey Brewer will also play outside. This lineup is very strong on the offensive end, but the pressure on the defensive end is great.

Nurkic is too slow to move and will be targeted.

Coach Carlisle has already made preparations, letting Nurkic protect the frame and Gobert come out more to help defend.In this way, Nurkic's shortcomings will be made up for.

but……

Once the game started, it was very difficult to continue.

Drummondlin scored two consecutive layups at the beginning and passed Nurkic with speed, and Nurkic played very depressed.

Change now?

The Mavericks can't do this, otherwise the team's deployment will be completely messed up. At this time, Kevin Durant used Nurkic's cover to continue to show off on the offensive end.

Durant scored 6 points in a row, and the game fell into a stalemate.

It seems that Durant played well, and the point difference hovered around 5 points.
