Brother Zui may have dreamed when he was a Timberwolf that one day he would actually defend to the fifth position, and it was not as simple as one or two rounds, but a large number of five positions. In the past, the mouth brother has not been top of the center, like thick eyebrows, Jokic, Downs and other inner mouth brothers have been top, but two aspects, on the one hand, there are not many such rounds, sometimes once or twice. After all, the mouth brother also resisted, after all, the body is not bad against this piece of mouth brother. But today when I met Jaren Jackson, the mouth brother was hit a lot, this center is too difficult to top, but also to card his position, because today Wiggins is the Warriors' fifth center.
Because Green left the game too early, he was sent out at halftime, and as long as the Warriors played five small, the mouth brother had to be a center. And Kerr even put out such a lineup of Curry, Poole, Payton, Thompson, and Wiggins at the crucial moment, and it seems that he has no idea where the height of this lineup is. The mouth brother directly to Jackson, and then Jackson faces the mouth brother is to rub under the basket, rubbing to his own comfortable position to easily throw. Of course, the problem of defending Jackson's offense is not big, two is two, even Green may not be able to interfere, what is the key? It's the card slot grabbing the rebound, that's really torturing the mouth brother, he's going to be in the basket under The Ca jackson position.
What size did Jackson have? 211cm tall, base 110 kg weight. And what is the size of the mouth brother? 201cm tall, almost 90 kilograms of weight, this basket under the card position can make the mouth brother out of the force. It's not that the rebounds can't grab Jackson, but as long as you get stuck, the rebounds can only be grabbed by others, and the mouth brother has to fight with Jackson under the basket. So what happened in the Grizzlies-Warriors game? There was a mouth brother under the basket and his taller big center crazy upper body, constantly back and forth body confrontation, Jackson's body seemed to be completely pressed on the mouth brother, this center hit is really tired.
And the bar mouth brother is not only playing center, but also from time to time to pull to the outside line to defend against Morant, Dillon and other players, before from one defense to four, now from one defense to five, completely become the Warriors' tool man! But the mouth mushroom still has the advantage of talent, and when the game is played in the last two minutes, everyone can't jump, and Wiggins starts to fight for rebounds in the frontcourt. Why did the Warriors end up narrowly beating the Grizzlies by one point? First Thompson did not hit the mouth brother basket to grab a three-point rebound to Curry, then Curry was three points missed, and then the mouth brother was blindly stirring under the basket and gave the rebound out, and the Warriors had the opportunity to jump the ball. That is to say, a Warriors' offensive opportunity, relying on the rebounding of the mouth brother, the Warriors threw three balls in life, and finally scored one.
Of course, the Warriors are really a bit cruel with their mouth brothers, and they want to say that when they were in the Timberwolves, they didn't say that they played the fifth position of the center, that is, the third position was not so much, and more often they were arranged by the coach to play the wrong position in the second position, so that the mouth brother could play more easily. Now in the Warriors, especially in the playoffs, Wiggins has completely become a rebounding machine under the Warriors' basket, especially the frontcourt rebounds at key moments, Wiggins is almost the only point that the Warriors can rely on. It is difficult to say whether the mouth brother is Maple Leaf Jordan or not, but it is very promising to become Maple Leaf Rodman!
