Wiggins' playoffs this season can almost be summed up in one sentence: either grabbing a rebound or on the way to grab a rebound! If the Warriors' center five position this summer is still Rooney, Belitsa, And Huaibao, it is estimated that the Warriors do not need to trade the mouth brother, the mouth brother himself will go. This Warrior's life is not a little physical quality really can not do, originally the mouth brother can have a thirty-year career, but now if you play according to the Warriors' playoff intensity and rotation system, the career is only 29 years in the end. No way, Cole was so fierce that Wiggins had to go against Jaren Jackson for a long time.
Anyway, you can't understand why Kerr would let Brother Mouth go against Jackson, brother Mouth is a player whose defense is greater than offense in the Warriors. The first two seasons are fine, the mouth brother most of the time is to play the third position, occasionally cameo the fourth position, but often play less, even if the five small lineup mouth brother is more also playing the third position. But from the end of last season to the beginning of this season, Kerr seems to have discovered the "New World" of the mouth brother on the defensive end, as if Wiggins is particularly defensive. Originally, the outside core opposite the mouth brother defense, switching between the first position and the third position, the mouth brother is not ambiguous, after all, even James can top, one two three these three positions are not a problem.
But since last season, when The Mouth Brother was hard-topped in the low position, Cole began to gradually get the Mouth Brother to the number four position. Once the Warriors play five small this season, the mouth brother is the number four position that does not move, responsible for defending the big forwards on the opposite side. The defensive big forward is not much pressure on the mouth brother, after all, his core strength is better, the gap between the fourth position and the third position is not too obvious, and the mouth brother can also switch. But later Cole found out that the original mouth brother was not only able to top the number four position, but also grab the rebound, but also the card position, which was good, and the number four position was directly seated. When Kerr saw that The mouth brother was hard to carry Jokic under the basket in the playoffs, he would smile: "Feelings, you can play in the center position of your boy!" ”
So the dramatic scene appeared, the Warriors' five small lineup, Green went to defend Clark, and the mouth brother was fighting Jackson. I thought it was just a round or two, who knew that after Green was sent off, Wiggins completely sat in the Warriors' fifth position as the big center. You can't imagine that picture, the mouth brother fighting for rebounds under the basket and Jackson card position. What height is Jackson? 211cm, what is the height of the mouth brother? 201cm！ The most critical thing is that Jackson is almost tens of pounds heavier than the mouth brother, the tonnage is not a tonnage at all, Wiggins has no way, since it is on top of the fifth position, it can only be hard to fight, but at the critical moment, the rebounding ability of the mouth brother is indeed excellent, and the basket is not downwind for a continuous grab, if you give him a good position, he is maple leaf Rodman.
Think of when the mouth brother just came to the Warriors, at that time the mouth brother was still very young, nothing else, the mouth brother is more in the second position and the third position between the activity, many times in the Timberwolves enjoy the second position of the offensive and defensive misplaced advantage, the result to the Warriors less than three years of time, from the first defense to the fifth, originally played the second position of the best candidate, and now the life is used as the Warriors' five small lineup of the center. It is said that Barnes's defensive area was large and could defend the inside line, and Yuzu asked Barnes whether Barnes had ever defended a big center?
