The famous marshal changed the formation to reap the miraculous effect, and the Green Army paid the price
After the bitter lesson of the last quarter of G1, coach Kerr became more cautious in the use of personnel, and also achieved the expected effect in G2, and did not dare to despise the opponent of the Green Army. So we can see the change in Cole's use of people: the use of the superstar Curry, the complete abandonment of Iguodala and the reuse of Peyton Jr., Poole's playing time has become less, more aggressive defensively, and no longer gives the Green Army any respite. In addition to Tatum's normal play in G2, Brown and the role players have almost no chance to get an easy three-point shot, and there have been many mistakes after the Warriors improved their defensive intensity.
"Courage three madness" reappears, where is the logic of offensive god and invincibility?
The Warriors were able to win the G2 in large part because of their beautiful offensive and defensive performance in the third quarter, with a net victory of 21 points in a single quarter, and only one session of the game took the opponent. Not only in the third quarter of G2, but also in the third quarter of G1, the Warriors also played a "38-24" big score, but because of the mistakes in the fourth quarter, the opponent played an "unprecedented" offensive climax. "Brave three crazy" actually did not originate from this season, but was born in the 15-16 season, why can the Warriors play a brilliant offense in the third quarter?
Presumably, this problem has also plagued fans for many years, and it is not difficult to understand the occurrence of this phenomenon, and it is necessary to be familiar with the Warriors' offensive logic. When the small-ball era was pushed to the peak by Curry, we should also understand the logic of the Warriors' offense while lamenting Curry's greatness. In addition to the passing tactics of positional warfare, another powerful magic weapon of the Warriors belongs to the "defensive counterattack": after getting the ball through high-quality defense, quickly dribbling the ball to the front court and completing the end, hitting the opponent on an unstable footing.
The role of Iguodala and Grimm, the great threat of splashes
It is often Iguodala or Green dribbling forward, while the Splash Brothers are fast down the two sides of the court and are outside the three-point line, taking the pass from their teammates and completing the empty three-point shot; When you can play a few beautiful defensive counterattacks, the score will be pulled apart in a short period of time, which is the underlying logic of "brave three crazy". These beautiful attacks based on the first two quarters of figuring out the opponent's tactics, as well as getting enough rest time in the half, depend on the overall cooperation of the team.
The Warriors' fast attack this season lacks heat, and the key to winning the championship is someone else
But this season, although the Warriors can also play such a brilliant performance, they always feel that they lack some familiar taste. Curry's play is naturally very stable, and his offensive and defensive influence maintains the basic plate of the Warriors, but the key factor in winning the championship is not Curry Green Wiggins. Curry's 30+ in a single game can only maintain the Stability of the Warriors' offense, and Green and Wiggins have a hard time getting 30+ points, so these three can't continue to raise the ceiling of the Warriors' offense, but someone else.
Isn't that? The Pelicans' McCollum took part in an ESPN show in which McCollum bluntly said, "To be honest, if Clay plays like G2, the Warriors don't have a chance to win this series." Klay was 4 of 19 in G2 and 1 of 8 from three-point range, scoring only 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, which was a world away from the performance of "G6 Soup". Clay also played erratically in the three-round series against the Nuggets and Grizzlies and Lone Rangers, which is how it was after the big injury.
"G6 Soup" is invisible twice, and it is expected to reappear next
But in any case, if the Warriors want to beat the Green Army to win the championship, it is indispensable to Klay's several outbreaks. In the two games of G1 and G2, Clay's scoring is really very stretched, but fortunately, the Warriors have carried this time. What the hell is wrong with Clay? We will find that many of his shots hit the front basket, and it seems that the footsteps cannot be stepped up and cannot provide the support they should be, causing his drift shots to lose stability. Therefore, Clay needs to further improve his shooting efficiency and play smarter.
Even if he did not have the magical performance of "G6 Soup", the opponent still could not despise his existence, or gave enough defensive pressure. Clay should have more low-back shots, fewer reluctant drift shots, more shots of his own dangling dribble, and fewer dribble offenses; After two games of silence, we can look forward to the arrival of "G6 Soup", which is expected to be seen in the next G3 and G4.
