Chapter 652 Meeting the Patriarch!

Not even after yelling, Durant turned around and found Sun Hao and hit him in the chest.

This is a bit exciting.

But don’t tell me, after this set, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to a higher level.

Playing at home, you need this kind of momentum!

What's more, because of Oden's absence, the Warriors are now the underdog, and they also need this kind of momentum!

Durant went to the free throw line and made a solid extra penalty.

5 to 2!

"Defend! Defend!"

The offense and defense transitioned, and the emotions of the fans at the scene were completely aroused.

The Knicks started the "carrot squat" mode, and this time it was James who played with the ball.

It's still a small pick-and-roll cooperation with Camby.

This time the Warriors chose to switch defense, and James chose to stop and shoot a small fadeaway jumper.

The movement was a little stiff, but he still managed to get rid of Anderson's defense.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net bag.

The shouts at the scene stopped abruptly.

James' first shot also went in!

His touch seems much better than in the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is obviously good news for the Knicks.

At this time, Old Nelson rubbed his chin vigorously with the hand holding his chin.

The super giant team-up is sometimes enviable. It completely simplifies basketball, is simple and effective, and distributes physical energy evenly.

However, the Warriors' offensive continues unabated.

This time, Curry cut in, received Durant's second pass, and also pulled the lever to avoid Camby's block and succeeded in a reverse layup!

This is three people using the same posture to output!

Camby's wave, the real female Neptune is possessed by the elephant!

Spoelstra couldn't sit still. He got up and walked to the sidelines, loudly reminding Camby to pay attention to the guy.

He was very impressive before the game, and he felt like he was going to dominate the basket without Oden. But things turned out better now. I defended him for three rounds at the beginning and was beaten three times in a row. I couldn't bear to watch!

But again, the Knicks have no choice.

And the Knicks' Big Three are in really good shape at the start.

James broke through again with the ball, and this time he passed it to Anthony after being double-teamed.

Durant on the Warriors' side returned to defense quickly enough, but Anthony feinted and turned around, using his strength to knock Durant away to gain shooting space for himself, and the fadeaway shot also went in!

The Big Three started the scoring relay at the beginning!

This "carrot squat" has no solution.

Nelson couldn't sit still anymore and walked to the sidelines to remind the players to pay attention to the speed of defense changes.

But unlike Spoelstra, he did not sit back after shouting, but turned and glanced at the bench.

The centers on both sides of the opening didn't protect the penalty area well, but there are still fundamental differences.

Camby has become a defensive black hole because of his habit, and Anderson can't guard him.

Or it can be said that Camby has the possibility to defend, as long as he is no longer obsessed with blocking shots, but Anderson's words are purely a lack of ability.

At this moment, something changed on the field.

After being reminded by Spoelstra's name, Camby changed his defensive method and was more on top of people.

Although the 36-year-old will not be able to return to the strength he had at his peak even if he did this, James's excellent defensive ability has hindered the Warriors' offense.

Durant's layup after cutting to the basket was interfered with and missed the basket.

Camby quickly grabbed the defensive rebound from James, and the Warriors' offense was interrupted.

But looking back, the Knicks continued to play "carrot squat".

This time, Anthony was attacking with the ball. After the pick-and-roll, his iconic triple threat was followed by a washing machine spin and directly wiped to the basket.

Anderson is not Antetokounmpo, so he can only watch and sigh at this kind of ball.

Anthony made a light pick and put the ball into the basket.

7 to 8!

The Knicks are back!

There was a commotion in the place.

By this time, even the audience had already seen the impact of Oden's absence.

The Warriors' current lineup provides interior protection that really allows the Knicks to get whatever they want.

Nelson finally made up his mind at this time, turned around and called Bell up from the bench.

A short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and Bell came on to replace Anderson.

This wave of adjustments means that the Warriors are starting to use a small-ball lineup!

This adjustment also caused a burst of cheers at the scene.

In this season of 74 wins, if there is anything that excites the fans the most, it is the "Death Five" in front of them.

When the team can't open up the situation, they rely on the "Five Deaths" to open up the score;

When the team fell behind, they still relied on the "Five Deaths" to overtake the score!

This can be said to be the "isatis root" of the Warriors this season. It can cure any disease and is very effective.

Normally, Nelson waits until the situation becomes extremely anxious before using it.

Going to class so early today is partly related to Oden's absence, and partly because the opponent is the Knicks, so you can't be careless.

Spoelstra didn't do much after seeing the Warriors adjust.

It's not that he doesn't do it, it's that he doesn't have to do it.

As mentioned before, the Knicks' small-ball lineup is relatively close to that of the Grizzlies. The "death five" is a patent of the Warriors.

It's unrealistic for you to ask James to play the fifth position.

So it can be understood that Oden is important, but not the most important. The "Five Deaths" are.

The next step is to see whether Camby can truly withstand the pressure and whether the Knicks can really compete with the Warriors.

Durant holds the ball at the top of the arc.

After a summer of training, the Warriors' five-small tactics are obviously much richer than last season.

Nelson has obviously done some research in this area.

Because in the first round when Durant held the ball, he played a "whirlwind tactic" with small ball characteristics.

The Tornado tactic is a tactic that originated from the Iowa State University Cyclones and was carried forward by Kerr in the NBA.

Old Nelson is not Cole, but for this mad scientist, there is nothing he can't do. The only difference is whether he thinks it is suitable.

Sun Hao borrowed Curry's pick-and-roll from the high post on the left and bounced to the left three-point line. At this time, Durant gave the ball to Sun Hao.

This looks like a simple pick-and-roll play.

But after receiving the ball, Sun Hao saw the defense coming up and did not rush to take action.

Because at the same time, Ibaka was moving in from the right, and Curry moved to the high position on the right to block Ibaka!

This pick-and-roll came as a surprise, because the pick-and-roll is usually done by the big man for the small man, but this time it was the small man for the big man.

Moreover, Curry is a great three-point threat, and the Knicks' defensive attention is focused on him.

As a result, Ibaka was completely unguarded when he drove straight to the basket through Curry's pick-and-roll!

Sun Hao directly received an alley ball, and Ibaka jumped into the air.

"Bang!"

Ibaka's veins popped out in his hands and he slammed the ball into the basket!

This alley-oop instantly set Oracle Arena on fire.

Death Five has begun!

Amid the cheers, Spoelstra stood up again and walked to the sidelines to remind Camby and Wade to pay attention to switching defenses.

The "whirlwind tactic" is obviously not the first time the Warriors have used it.

It's just that this tactic is one of those that is hard to guard against.

Just like the previous two tactics, whether it is Sun Hao's three-pointer or Curry's three-pointer that may be taken out through the screen, they are all tactics.

If you focus on preventing "whirlwind tactics", the Warriors may just shoot the first two simple pick-and-roll tactics.

"Defend! Defend!"

Ibaka's alley ball ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene, and the scene once again burst into overwhelming cheers.

When they returned to the defensive end, the Warriors' defensive rotations obviously became faster.

On the one hand, it is the adrenaline effect given by the fans at the scene, and on the other hand, it is more critical. The key to the existence of the five small defensive ends is high-speed defensive rotation.

Wade and Camby repeated their old tricks after a pick-and-roll, double-teaming the ball to Camby.

But when Camby caught the ball and took a step to dunk, Ibaka was already back on defense.

Durant's previous question about whether Camby would suppress Ibaka also had the most positive answer at this time.

Serge Ibaka, the consecutive shot-blocking leader, directly knocked Camby's dunk out of the court!

This time, Canby felt a little bit out of temper.

Moreover, he had been trying to take advantage of the Warriors' offense at the beginning, but in the end it was he who received such a solid blood cap.

The atmosphere in Oracle Arena was also pushed to its peak in an instant.

Camby's previous remarks added a lot of excitement to the finals, but at the same time, he also drew a lot of hatred for himself.

Especially at the home court of the Warriors, this is a standard adrenaline-fueled moment.

Many fans couldn't hold back their emotions. They stood up and waved their fists while shouting. The expressions on their faces became more and more excited.

The Knicks sent a sideline ball, and Anthony's shot was interfered by Durant and then hit the frame.

The rebound was taken by Ibaka.

He then showed his progress this season and directly passed a long pass to Curry on the outermost line.

After Curry got the ball, he galloped to the frontcourt, avoided Wade's big shot in the air and hit the ball off the board.

11 to 8!

The Warriors regained the momentum on the court!

Anthony played a wave of back shots in the low post.

Durant still has trouble withstanding Anthony's confrontation.

And Anthony is worthy of being an offensive kaleidoscope. After knocking Durant away, he turned around and shot backward, completely denying Durant the chance to interfere as before.

But this time, the Warriors' inside man is Ibaka, not Anderson.

Ibaka predicted in advance and came out to help defend in advance and almost risked Anthony.

"Dang!"

The ball finally hit the edge of the basket and popped out, and was scooped up by Durant's long arms.

The Knicks' two consecutive attacks failed!

Now the pressure was all on their side.

Because consecutive rounds have shown that with their lineup's offensive ability, it will be difficult to score as easily as before against the "Five Deaths".

The "carrot squat" attack method is indeed simple and effective, but it is also easy to defend against.

Moreover, it is difficult to adjust this simple offensive method.

Fortunately, the Knicks retreated fairly quickly this time and did not give the Warriors a chance to directly launch a fast break.

The two sides then entered the position.

"Come on Warriors!"

At this time, the emotions of the fans at the scene were still at a high point, and the cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

The Knicks players on the court felt an invisible pressure above their heads, making them breathless.

It is no exaggeration to say that their state on the court at this time is a bit confused.

That is to say, in this confused state, players rely more on instinct to play.

This time the Warriors changed their whirlwind tactics. The ball carrier became Curry. After Sun Hao moved from the left to the right, he did not give Ibaka a pick-and-roll. Instead, Ibaka blocked Sun Hao.

This is the issue of the evolution of tactics mentioned earlier. The defense of a tactic is not that simple.

And what surprised the Knicks the most was Sun Hao's choice after receiving the ball.

He didn't walk out, but turned around with a low center of gravity and went straight to the basket!

This immediately stunned the Knicks.

Even more interesting is Camby.

He pursued Sun Hao from behind and even thought about blocking Sun Hao.

Sun Hao sped away and made a layup to easily score the ball.

13 to 8!

The Warriors launched a 6-0 offensive and suddenly opened the point difference to 5 points!

The fans at the scene were very excited, and many people had already started to use their dancing talents, waving, swaying and shouting yoyo.

There was a short whistle from the sidelines, and Turiaf came on to replace Camby.

Camby's defensive choice in the round just now completely made Spoelstra give up treating him.

Camby's performance tonight was a defensive black hole, to put it mildly.

Seeing Turiaf replaced there, Nelson was overjoyed.

Turiaf is a short beast inside, with a powerful style of play and excellent shot-blocking ability.

But compared to Camby, Turiaf's height, wingspan, and movement speed are his disadvantages.

These things won't be a big problem when playing against other teams, but against the Warriors' "Death Five", problems will soon arise.

However, Turiaf was indeed more passionate. He set up a strong pick-and-roll for Anthony. Anthony used the pick-and-roll to cut in. After receiving a pass from James, he dunked with two hands and finally helped the Knicks break the court. scoring shortage.

But this just broke the scoring drought, and then Ibakala went to the outside!

Turiaf can only throw it out. With his moving speed, it is impossible to throw it out and then take it back.

This is where Nelson laughs.

Once Turiaf goes out, the Knicks can only rely on James at the basket.

James blocked Sun Hao from giving him a direct layup opportunity, but he couldn't care about Durant cutting in behind him.

Sun Hao turned around with a deceptive feint, and when he turned back again, he directly caught the ball and ran, and Durant lifted his arms and took off.

"Bang!"

Durant pressed the ball with one hand and slammed the ball into the basket!

The Warriors had another alley-oop dunk worthy of being selected into the top five!

The atmosphere at Oracle Arena can't stop.

They are also a small ball lineup, but the Knicks met their grandmaster tonight!
