Three details of the Grizzlies "Gram" Warriors, four-edge footsteps, three iron gates, and no solution Morant

The series is a game of restraint and anti-restraint, and the first two games between the Grizzlies and the Warriors are marched in this vein, so how did the Grizzlies "conquer" the Warriors? Three details can reveal the answer.

Morant led the Grizzlies to a 1-1 draw with the Warriors

The Warriors' advantage fans are well aware, three points, 36.4% shooting rate in the regular season averaged 14.3 three-pointers per game; in the first round against the Nuggets, they averaged 15.2 three-pointers per game with a 42.2% shooting rate, which was loved by fans as the "new death five small", but against the Grizzlies, their three-point shooting, 27.6% shooting rate averaged 10.5 three-pointers per game, the shooting rate dropped by 14 percentage points, the number of shots dropped by 4.7, how can the league's top three-point team be restrained by the Grizzlies? Look at the details.

The Warriors' three-point main output points: Curry, Poole, Klay and Wiggins, three of the four people on the floor, or even four all on the field, chasing the green card and providing a cover wall role, coupled with the team's collective play of fast passing, even if the league's top defensive strength, it is easy to be shot through the defense line by them, and the Grizzlies can be resolved one by one, because:

One or four fronts.

Curry, Poole and Klay, the three of them can use the inside block to shoot at each other's elders, such as the first round, About Teacher, Gordon, Cousins and the two Green Nuggets, it was the Warriors who shot through this way, the difference between the Grizzlies:

Clark defended Curry for three points

Jenkins put up the interior lineup, Jaylen Jackson and Tillman started, the bench time by Clark and Anderson transition, the characteristics of the above four, they are not orthodox five positions, even Tillman and Clark are 203 cm tall three-position figure, so their footsteps can achieve the purpose of unlimited change of defense, and the Grizzlies are determined to change defenses, not a big delay, Curry, Poole and Clay want to project the inside long man This way is effectively contained.

Two or three iron gates.

Just the infinite change of defense is not enough to block the Warriors' three-pointer, Golden State mercury-like conduction cooperation, can transfer the ball to other shooters at any time, which requires the opponent and the defenders who can be matched to make up for it at any time, the first round, Morris and Barton due to lack of height and size, limited defensive ability, became the background of the Warriors' three-point feast, and the Grizzlies?

The Grizzlies can be the top 5th team in the League this season, Jackson's inside line outside the basket, on the front line they have Melton, Bain and Zaire Williams three iron gates, note, defensive back-playing outside line, they have deficiencies, but, defensive frontal projection outside line, they have the advantage of height and flexibility, reflected in the specific alignment:

The Grizzlies changed defense twice to contain Klay and Porter's three-pointers

Jenkins used Zawi to defend Curry, 208 cm tall, 209 cm arm span and excellent footsteps, he could almost cover Curry at any time; Bain main defense clay, although the arm was short, but, Klay was seriously injured, Bane's footsteps did not suffer losses, and can also give high-intensity confrontation, interfere with his projection; Jenkins's best deployment is:

Melton and Zavey double-netted Curry for three points

He used Morant to defend Poole, the first round of the series, Poole's speed to crush the Nuggets defense, Morant can keep up; once the use of blocking to get rid of the three-pointer, or create opportunities for teammates, note that Melton is a "free man", he can abandon the main defense of Wiggins at any time to pinch, supplement and assist, can be called the glue of the Grizzlies' entire defensive system.

Take Curry's G2 game as an example, 3 of 11 three-pointers, three goals: the first quarter offensive rebound, Curry's right bottom corner empty three-pointer; the third quarter offensive rebound, Curry's three-point shot before the arc; the only real empty three-pointer, the third quarter Morant was stunned, Curry's right 45-degree angle three-pointer, all the remaining projections, Curry in front of at least one person to defend, the Grizzlies defended the Warriors' three-point "epitome".

Third, there is no solution to Morant

As one of the hottest teams with 3 championships in 4 years and this season, the Warriors will inevitably use the same restraining method to contain the Grizzlies, the most typical case - rebounding.

This season, the Grizzlies averaged 49.2 rebounds and 14.1 offensive rebounds per game, which is the first in the league, but in the two games against the Warriors, their rebounds were 47-51 and 47-52, their offensive rebounds were 16-16 draws and 12-14, and even the interior scores were 44-56 and 42-60 in passivity, so how did the Grizzlies lose and win? Unsolvable Morant.

Morant hit nine three-pointers in two games

In the first game, the Warriors led 10 points 103-93, Morant three-pointers, two breakthroughs, helpEd Clark layup, two more breakthroughs and assisted Clark to layups, 11 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the last quarter, the last attack was deflected, the team only lost, the whole game, Morant 34 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, shooting 45.2% + 36.4%.

G2, the team 91-95 behind began, Morant three strong Klay (a pretend breakthrough, withdraw three points), facing Wiggins and Clay's double net to complete the winning throw, 6 of 11 in a single quarter, 18 points to take away the victory. Throughout the game, Morant had 47 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, shooting 48.4% + 41.7%.

Morant was strong, and Clay and Green couldn't defend themselves

With unparalleled speed and bouncing ability in the active game, Kerr chose to "anti-burst shots", resulting in Morant's 39.1% shooting rate averaging 4.5 three-pointers per game in two games; and in the final quarter, even if the Warriors set up multiple defenses, he can still complete the strong breakthrough, with the Warriors' current lineup, Morante really has a sense of solution, and what can limit him may only be the feel and foul trouble.

Conclusion: At this point, it can be understood why the Grizzlies "Gram" Warriors (3 wins and 1 loss in the regular season), the mobility of the four fronts and the size of the three iron gates, they can effectively curb the Warriors' three points; and when the Warriors also use defense against the Grizzlies, Morant's talent advantage can respond strongly, so the Grizzlies have more or less an advantage, after all, Morante's "problem", for the Warriors, is almost insoluble!
