Unconsciously, Brother Zui has become the rebounding king of the team for three consecutive games. This achievement may not be an achievement in others, and it may not be dismissed in Gobert. "Why, grab a rebound and ask for credit?" But what's the first thing to figure out? He's Wiggins! What is the concept of being the rebounding king of the team for three consecutive games? He is the kind of player who usually does not want to rebound in his hand in the regular season, compared to grabbing rebounds, the mouth brother prefers the card position, grabbing the rebound this thing in the inherent impression of the fans seems to have not been the mouth brother is good at, but the mouth brother in the playoffs only proved a sentence "some things do not want to be done is not impossible!" ”
By the time the playoffs came, it wasn't about grabbing rebounds, it was about fighting for rebounds! Grabbing backcourt rebounds is not a skill, and the mouth brother fights for frontcourt rebounds. As far as the Warriors do not care who shoots, the ball shot everyone else is retreating, especially the three-point shot everyone is a unified pace back to the defense, which is the Tradition of the Warriors for many years, the rebound of the three-point shot is not grabbed. But at this time, there is always a beautiful boy silently rushing to the basket to steal chickens, you don't care if the mouth brother can fight to the front court rebound, as long as he rushes forward, the opponent will have to be nervous, and he has to keep carding his position.
This is enough to directly delay the attack rate of the opposite side. When the Warriors can't open the situation in G2, they rely on the breakthrough of the mouth brother and the strong fight to break the ice in the front court rebound. Hit G3, watch Curry's key shots iron again, and it is the mouth brother who rushes into the Nuggets crowd to grab three rebounds in the front court, and the Pooler who has a layup behind him expands his advantage. After the game, Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said this: "I feel that the real key ball is that rebound that Andrew Wiggins grabbed. That would be the first goal we thought of, and we couldn't afford a second chance to attack like that! ”
This rebound is the best true portrayal of the mouth brother in the entire playoffs, and the mouth brother only shot 26 times in three games, but he grabbed 23 rebounds. It is obvious that after entering the playoffs, Wiggins's role has changed, becoming a complete defensive tool man, especially in the single defense 1V1, Wiggins is almost the best effect of the Warriors, no Nuggets players meet him when choosing a 1V1 breakthrough, his defense has become a key part of the Warriors' outside line, and it is precisely because of the convergence and low-key of the mouth brother that the Warriors' tactics can run so harmoniously, because someone sacrificed the ball.
And, it should be said that the physical talent of the mouth brother is really good in the playoffs. The height of the anti-no. 1 position bar is long, the speed is not slow, the anti-no. 3 position bar does not fall down at all, if the defense is changed to the fifth position, the top two rounds of Jokic can also be carried, dare not say that the mouth brother must be able to go from the first defense to the fifth, but at least there are four positions on the basketball court that he can play and defend. This is a solid physical talent, looking at the mouth brother thin body is full of muscles. The mouth brother is not Barnes or Durant, but a talented young talent with unlimited rotation on the Warriors' third position.
