One Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Six. I Want a Tactic of 1 Inside and Outside Line and 2 Blooms
Sun Ce and Klay Thompson made two consecutive three-pointers, and that's what the Warriors are afraid of!
They would rather give Sun Ce a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll, and would rather be fouled by Sun Ce at the basket, than let Sun Ce and Klay Thompson make a three-pointer. Even if they want Sun Ce to make a three-pointer, it has to be when Klay Thompson is resting.
This one was accidentally connected by the two!
51 seconds, 6 points difference, was wiped out by Sun Ce and Klay Thompson!
The Warriors, who have Curry, know how terrible Sun Ce and Klay Thompson are when they are soaring, and they have been blocking the alternative connection between the two since the second game.
But Sun Ce's breakthrough just now was so amazing that old fans seemed to see the ultimate giant version of Iverson! The super-large lateral movement that seized the time difference was more exaggerated than Iverson. Although the starting speed was far worse than Iverson, the difference was made up by the length of his legs. Iguodala tried his best to make up for it, but he was one body short.
Not allowing Sun Ce to shoot three-pointers does not mean that Sun Ce can attack the basket at will. If Sun Ce rushes in and dunks directly on Thabeet's head, the effect of boosting morale is greater than three-pointers.
However, it is no different now. Sun Ce and Klay Thompson hit three-pointers in a row. This is a signal for the Grizzlies to start! For the Warriors, it is a signal to welcome the impact!
To welcome the impact of the Grizzlies' strongest offensive lineup, while doing a good job of basic defense, it is more important to maintain offensive firepower!
This time Harden did not miss. With the team space brought by Curry's containment, Harden rushed into the inside and relied on Sun Ce to hit the rebound and shoot to score two points.
When Curry was strictly guarded, Harden's strong singles ability began to show.
Unlike in the original time and space, he ran to polish the ball due to various factors and gradually became only able to do three tricks: step-back three-pointers, breakthrough layups, and fouls. He doesn't have to bear so much pressure when he goes to the Warriors. The Warriors' training method is to train Harden in a targeted manner according to the talent he showed during his time in the Thunder. After two years, Curry is the Warriors' most shining star, but Harden is the Warriors' strongest player.
The Warriors began to focus on Harden. Curry's pick-and-roll can now attract two people to chase and intercept. Speights, who picks and rolls for Curry on the wing, can get a chance to cut in and attract Sun Ce to assist in defense. Then, when single-handedly attacking Paul George, Harden can do well because his defense under the basket is really not good.
The Warriors' offensive continuity is maintained, and Curry is also waiting for an opportunity to move and look for shooting opportunities. He now feels that his shooting touch is hot.
From the game videos that have been studied, the live broadcasts that have been watched, and the data from scouts,
the Warriors' defense for one situation is much higher than other situations, and this situation is-Sun Ce and Klay Thompson take turns to shoot three-pointers!
When formulating a defensive strategy, you must defend against the most likely situation. If it is a low-probability situation, it is useless to defend it in most cases, because it is not cost-effective to prepare for something that will not happen. The high-probability situation, which will occur in most games, is the basis for formulating defensive tactics.
Low-probability situation is the situation that is not expected at all.
So when the Warriors defended, because Klay Thompson made a three-pointer in the last round, Iguodala defended very tightly this time. Sun Ce continued to look for Klay Thompson to pick and roll. Iguodala came out directly from the top line and blocked Sun Ce's three-pointer with Curry!
After Sun Ce used the pick and roll, he accelerated to the right. Curry and Iguodala chased him. The Warriors did not directly leave Klay Thompson empty. Harrison Barnes left Paul George empty to make up for Klay Thompson, but Paul George took the initiative to block Harrison Barnes, and Klay Thompson ran to the left sideline.
At this time, Sun Ce jumped up at a 45-degree angle on the right side to face the two players, which attracted the attention of the Warriors players. They began to block the position under the basket. Harrison Barnes did not continue to chase Klay Thompson, but turned around with excellent board awareness to block Paul George, and started to protect the defensive rebound from the outside.
But after Sun Ce jumped up, he passed directly to the defense line where Klay Thompson was running. The tacit understanding of the Grizzlies' three-man team on the outside was amazing!
Seeing that Sun Ce was double-teamed so tightly, Iguodala was covering him on the road, and Curry, who had strong upper limb strength, was supporting him when he jumped. Paul George knew that Sun Ce was unlikely to be stupid enough to shoot himself in this situation. Even when he scored more than 70 points, Sun Ce would pass the ball.
Sure enough, Sun Ce judged the opponent's defensive intentions and deliberately created a greater threat on himself, creating a catch-and-shoot three-pointer for Klay Thompson!
Although the "splash momentum" was not triggered this time, Klay Thompson's touch was already on fire, and he caught the ball and made another three-pointer!
Paul George likes this feeling very much. He also likes data, but he likes winning with the team more. In the second year after he entered his peak period, he would rather give up the MVP competition and go to a team that is more likely to win the championship as the second in command.
Sun Ce has always given people a very unique feeling. Everyone knows that he is obsessed with data, but his fixed impression with people is that he is willing to sacrifice data to win.
This complex trait has made Sun Ce's unique personal charm.
After Klay Thompson hit this ball, the Grizzlies overtook 46 to 45!
This came very suddenly for the Warriors. In just three rounds, the Splash Brothers exploded, and the Warriors couldn't stand it!
Endure!
The Warriors led 3-2. They were already in a strong team mentality and did not panic. They were ready to get through this period. The most important thing during this period was to defend against Sun Ce and Klay Thompson's three-pointers. They would rather leave Yi Jianlian or Paul George and Sun Ce's mid-range shots.
The combination of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson once made 19 three-pointers in a regular season game. Sun Ce made 14 and Klay Thompson made 5. This is a historical record in the NBA that is not a record. Even as strong as Harden and Curry, the highest total number of three-pointers in a single game was 15. In that game, Curry made 12 three-pointers and Harden made 3.
Let Paul George and Yi Jianlian shoot long-range shots. Their hit rates are not as good as Sun Ce and Klay Thompson. Let Sun Ce shoot mid-range shots... This is worse than letting Sun Ce and Klay Thompson shoot crazy three-pointers.
In the following period, Klay Thompson and Sun Ce did not force their opponent, but took this opportunity to attack their teammates' open shots and cut in. Moreover, Yi Jianlian, Paul George, and Richard Jefferson tried to cut in in various ways. No matter how powerful Thabit was, he could not defeat four hands with two fists!
To defend Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, basically three people were needed. Even if Speights or Harrison Barnes blocked one, there were still two! They could both throw shots from close range and rush the basket.
Moreover, Sun Ce was blocked the most, and Klay Thompson's off-ball ability still allowed him to find an opportunity occasionally. Sun Ce seized the opportunity in most cases, and he was now fully committed to the great cause of passing.
At 9 minutes and 19 seconds in the second quarter, Klay Thompson made a three-pointer from the right corner in a positional battle, and at 11 minutes and 45 seconds, Klay Thompson made a three-pointer from the sideline in a counterattack.
In the last 6 minutes of the first half, Klay Thompson made 4 of 5 three-pointers and scored 12 points in half a quarter!
12 points in half a quarter, very impressive, but the most terrifying thing is that he took 5 shots without dribbling once! He only touched the ball 5 times and made 4 shots... His need for the ball was almost zero!
After the official timeout in the second quarter, the Grizzlies played a 24-17 wave! After the halftime, the Grizzlies went into the halftime break with a score of 61-57 and a 4-point lead!
...
Sun Ce didn't care how shocked the Warriors were. Sun Ce was stunned by Klay Thompson's explosion in this half.
Klay Thompson is not a playoff scoring expert. In Sun Ce's impression, Klay Thompson played more than 130 playoff games before his serious injury in the original time and space. The probability of getting 30+ is about one in ten, and 40+ is only once. He is not good at scoring in the playoffs, but! This guy can often make those shots that must be made in the key games of the playoffs to create a chance to win!
Just like tonight, after Sun Ce scored a three-pointer, he was immediately guarded. If Curry's defense can be called an advantage, it is his pair of unicorn arms, which can block people and prevent the opponent from fully jumping. Iguodala is also on the side.
At this time, it is actually not enough for teammates to cut in, because the Grizzlies themselves are not good at defense, and they can't limit the opponent's passing and cutting style and Harden's breakthrough.
At this time, Klay Thompson's three-pointer of 4 out of 5 shots played a key role!
Give these 5 shots to other teammates, even if Sun Ce shoots himself, he will definitely not get 12 points!
Klay Thompson, who scored 6 points in the first quarter, has 18 points. Tonight is expected to create a new career high in single-game scoring in the playoffs!
Entering the halftime break and returning to the lounge, Sun Ce went to the bathroom as usual to think about how to play in the second half.
Leading by 4 points at halftime is a huge advantage.
In the second half, we must focus on using Klay Thompson's hot hand tonight. Including 1 of 2 in the first quarter, he made 5 of 7 three-pointers. We must make good use of it. This kind of hand is not something that can be achieved just by saying it. In terms of probability, there may be only a few times in his career.
Just like Curry, the team has the strength to compete for the championship for the first time. For him, the opponent does not know how to limit him specifically. There is a clear defensive strategy for him, but the opponent does not know him as well as he will after he plays so many playoffs in the future. Just like in the original time and space, he faced Holiday's defense in the first round of 2015, averaging 33.8 points per game, with 7 of 9 three-pointers in one game and 6 of 8 three-pointers in another game, averaging 5 three-pointers per game, and Holiday is a top defensive perimeter with the defensive ability of the best defensive lineup.
It is true that this is the first time for the Grizzlies to meet Curry in the playoffs, but it is also the first time for the Warriors to meet Klay Thompson in the playoffs.
Both sides have problems. The Grizzlies must focus on defending Harden, this guy is too strong, but the Warriors must also focus on defending Sun Ce.
With Curry's outstanding performance of averaging 35 points in the first five games, the Grizzlies were at a disadvantage, but even when they lost, except for the fourth game, the score difference in the other two games was not big, because Sun Ce and Paul George's performance was really good.
When Klay Thompson broke out tonight, the impact of Curry's outbreak was offset, and because it came suddenly, the Grizzlies overtook the score and caught the Warriors off guard!
At this time, Klay Thompson had an advantage over Curry, because Klay Thompson didn't need to hold the ball at all!
Therefore, it was important to block Curry in the second half, it was important to defend Harden, and it was important to help Klay Thompson create shooting opportunities, create cutting opportunities and shooting opportunities for teammates.
It's just... Sun Ce felt tired... At this time, he was very hesitant when choosing the star experience card.
Originally, I was going to use the scoring champion card directly, but the current situation is not the best choice to use the scoring champion card. The opponent's defense against him is too strict. Without the scoring champion card, the opponent will try their best to double-team him. He also scored 18 points in the first half, and his threat is obviously the highest.
Barry card... I am not familiar with it, and there are too many uncertainties. It is better not to use it tonight, so there is only one choice!
They have already taken the lead, and now they have to pursue stability! To be stable, they must first stabilize the inside!
Although the Warriors' inside offense is not very good, their defense is stable. Draymond Green and Thabeet, the defense at the critical moment is very powerful for the Grizzlies' inside without Randolph! The key is that the Grizzlies don't even have an inside player who can assist from the high position.
And Larry Sanders, the team's best inside defender, has the current lineup, and his best teammate is actually Sun Ce...
You can't expect Yi Jianlian and Amir Johnson to beat Thabeet, a center in the top ten of the best defensive player rankings, right?
Anyway, let's fight! Sun Ce didn't care about that much. At most, he would waste a card. He didn't want to waste it in the fourth game because he thought he could go back to his home court to play the decisive battle. Now, it's a waste. If it doesn't work, he will change to the scoring champion card. Damn it!
"Brother Learning Machine, use O'Neal card!"
"Host uses Shaq O'Neal 2000-2001 version of the star experience card, ability evaluation SS, offense SS, defense S-, strength SS, bounce S-...
Average 28.7 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.8 blocks, 0.5 steals, 2.9 turnovers, 3.6 fouls...
Feature conversion skills: Divine power...
Matching bonus..."
This is the second time Sun Ce has used the O'Neal card. Sun Ce doesn't care about O'Neal's data. What Sun Ce cares about is O'Neal's mistakes, which are only 2.9 per game. At the beginning of the century, Duncan, who mainly played singles with the ball, had more than 3 mistakes per game!
"Combining the characteristics of the playing style, the difference in body shape and other factors, the host and Shaquille O'Neal 2000-2001 version have a 50% match. Outside shooting is devastatingly affected, and the direction strength, confrontation, and explosive power are added.
Ervin Johnson's balance bracelet has been used, and the host's position has moved to the center, and the match is added by 20%.
The match is 70%, the host's outside shooting is greatly affected, the ball control and speed are slightly affected, and the low-post skills, strength, confrontation, and explosive power are added... Matching bonus..."
Using O'Neal card, Sun Ce does not have to worry about the ball control being affected like using the beast card. O'Neal's ball control is one of the best among centers, and he can even play a change of direction.
However, the match has increased from 40% last time to 50%...
Three seconds later, Sun Ce felt that his fatigue was quickly subsiding, and he was hungry again... The system prompt also came.
"Host's temporary ability rating is S,
Physical fitness S+: speed A+, strength S+, endurance S, jumping A+, static confrontation S+, leg explosive power S (explosive acceleration, bullet speed), explosive confrontation ability S...
Shooting rating A: three-pointer B-, mid-range shot B, layup S+...
...
Temporary skill: divine power."
"Divine power: When the host plays a low-post singles, if the opponent has only one defensive player, if the host chooses to dunk, the impact of weight can be minimized."
After the matching degree reaches 70%, the bonus of strength, confrontation, and explosive power is much higher than the previous 50% matching degree!
Moreover, there is also a skill of characteristic conversion!
However, the impact on shooting is simply, it's eye-catching! Even with a 70% matching degree, it is still greatly affected.
After wiping off the sweat, washing his hair and drying it with a hair dryer, and changing his jersey for two minutes, Sun Ce returned to the locker room.
Sun Ce spent a total of 4 minutes, and his teammates had not all come back yet, such as Gobert went to buy hamburgers for him, Sun.
Sun Ce found Coach Hollins: "Coach, I want to blossom in both culture and sports... No, it's a tactic that blossoms inside and outside!"
...
The 3-2 lead is the biggest source of confidence for the Warriors at present. They are leading, so they can give it a try! This is different from the first game. At that time, the Warriors didn't know how the situation would develop, and they didn't have the home advantage. When the Grizzlies used Whiteside to make a wave of impact, the Warriors coach was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
But now, although he still doesn't know how to really deal with the outbreak of the Splash Brothers, Mark Jackson is at least in a stable state of mind, which is very important for his players. The head coach is in a hurry, and the players will naturally become flustered. Not every core player has the top psychological quality like Duncan, and the head coach screams and screams when he encounters trouble, but the core player can still play calmly.
At halftime, the Warriors' arrangement is to - endure!
The touch will always cool down. If Klay Thompson is always so accurate, and the Grizzlies' team offense is always so good when Sun Ce is extremely threatening, and they always suppress the Warriors, the Warriors will lose in the end, but there is still a seventh game to play. This is their worst plan.
But they can expect that as long as Klay Thompson returns to normal after the halftime break, the advantage will return to the Warriors!
Although Curry was not as irritable as in the past two games tonight, he had no problem scoring 30+ points, and Harden was even better tonight than in the third game, so they still had a chance!
However, after the start of the second half, the Warriors did not wait to see whether Klay Thompson was in good condition. After they missed their first shot, Sun Ce grabbed the rebound and counterattacked. Instead of passing the ball to Livingston who was following up, he knocked away the double-teamed Harrison Barnes and Iguodala and smashed the ball into the basket!
