Payton Jr. G2 came back, he played 25 minutes, plus or minus 15, got 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and then the Warriors won, it seems that there is no inevitable connection between this, but it is very subtle, before the game Cole said that he will give Little Payton some time, this "some time" is indeed superior, but also can see that Payton Jr.'s recovery is not bad
Green said after the game: Payton's return is fantastic, his role is quickly reflected, how fast?
In the first quarter of 5 minutes and 32 seconds, Jaylen changed defenses through a cover, facing Green, who completed the dribbling damage to Jaylen ahead of schedule, the ball still belongs to the Green Army, and then Kerr took Payton Jr. to the court, the First Comeback in the Finals, the Warriors were 3 points behind. Payton's effect was immediately revealed, like a Mantos falling into a Coke and exploding in an instant
At 3 minutes and 52 seconds, Payton Jr. received a pass from Curry and quickly completed a two-point layup that caused Jaylen's foul, which was the most controversial goal, Jaylen's two fouls in the first quarter, which affected the Green Army's offensive attack to a certain extent, and the only "reasonable" explanation was that Payton's foot "brought" to Jaylen's leg
From 4 minutes and 23 seconds to 2 minutes and 47 seconds, the Green Army maintained 22 points until 1 minute and 36 seconds, and there were probably 4-5 offensive rounds that failed to score, and the Warriors chased the only 3 points left, and finally Tatum singled Peyton Jr. with his back to create a two-point foul
With only 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the first quarter, Payton scored his first point in the Finals, and defensive center Thales made a not very smart defensive appearance, a two-handed surrender defense, a foot away from Payton, watching three points into the net.
These 5 minutes and 46 seconds, Payton contributed 2 points and 1 assist, of course, this is also the embodiment of the data, as well as the high collar defense Tatum that we can't see, cover assist defense, squeeze cover, go around the defense, etc. In the movement of 10 people, you can see a figure in the rapid movement, as if the energy has no limit
At 5:24 in the second quarter, the Warriors grabbed a quick-run Green and hit the ground to pass Payton to complete a two-point layup
In the final quarter, he completed his mission with an assist Rooney dunk
Poole's sense of smell in defense was exposed in this round, Payton Jr.'s change of defense did not have any problems, the defensive rate was very high, Gvi did not dare to attack him under the basket, chose to pass the ball, chased the wind and shadow to run to Smart on the outside line, the result was still let Gwey score a throw, this three-guard lineup, the height of the frame is obviously not there, need to pile people in the penalty area to prevent the impact of the Green Army
The mistake of this ball, Smart's pass is not half of the pass, Payton gives half of the defensive pressure, using the shape and footsteps around the defense, chasing Tatum, clinging like a piece of rubber paste, coupled with the warriors' defensive tacit understanding, quickly forming a three-person encirclement, creating a Green Army mistake
In this joint defense, Payton Jr. took care of one and two, first preparing Tatum's singles to assist at any time, while also blocking the passing route. The ceiling defense took into account the three-pointer, smart directly to Tatum waved, meaning to tell Tatum to directly single, eat him, test your content time has come, Smart expectations disappointed
The eye-catching change of defense alignment, originally Cole wanted to let Bjlitsa top a guy for a while, Payton continued to stare at Tatum, unconsciously the bride actually changed, Belicha defended Tatum, the effect was good, Tatum several strong attacks have eaten turtles, this may be one of the new things Cole took out in this game
Rooney contributed 3 steals this time, Little Payton did not, but of these three steals, two can be related to Little Payton, he is much smarter, appropriately let the double probe break through the inside line into the box, the Green behind the tiger, forcing the double probe flower out of the ball, this T1 level is less than the ability to play, with the Warriors' rapid contraction of the inside line, the interception is clean and clean
Defending White is the same, luring deep into the basket, facing the crowded interior line to let him shoot a difficult shot, right in the middle, these are not visible to the data
Then talk about the Warriors' success in this defensive strategy:
(1) G1 Tatum passed 13 assists, a new playoff career assist high, from his last double-digit assist can be traced back to the Nets' G2, that game he also only scored 19 points, G1 has 9 assists is a three-point goal, his own closed, teammates are crazy, G2 Tatum only got 3 assists, handed over 4 turnovers, the Warriors cut off the connection between Tatum and his teammates, and the more ugly statement is: lure the enemy deeper, force the ball out, shrink and make mistakes. Simple and rough, Tatum's personal score rubbed up, but his teammates did not give strength, Smart did not play like himself, and the organization and scoring were not very good
(2) The return of Payton Jr. and Porter has brought out a defensive lineup that takes into account the size of the offense. G2 Tatum scored 28 points, 19 shots 8, at first glance the efficiency is OK, but playing really hard, you will see a lot of goals with kotum, directly call "Kobe bryant reappears", but the consumption is huge, with peyton Jr. to prevent consumption, the third quarter Cole with a gambler-like psychology let Belitsa change defense against Tatum, I thought it was just a top, I didn't expect the effect to be bad, Tatum's content was greatly reduced, to the end, it has been obvious that Tatum is like a strong man with two feet weak
(3) Theth use time is higher than Lowe, you know that this Green Army has a high probability of sending, accidental factors naturally can not be predicted, can only expect Roey Schrödinger's cat-like knees, can be restored to the level of favor for the Green Army, otherwise this round of the series will only be more difficult, Theis on the court, naturally is caught to cover the life of the three-point face shot, the Warriors will grasp the weakness, make a key hit, good death to hit the sore, the Warriors once again pulled the inside score gap to 16 points
(4) Rooney got three steals, it is not too much to say that it was an unexpected surprise, this time his presence at both ends of the attack and defense is full of sense, and payton's upper and lower line defense is full of tacit understanding
Where the Green Army adjusts:
(1) In the first two quarters of G2, the Green Army rebounded perfectly in the front court, and could not fault it, they guarded the defensive lineup of the squat pit, controlled the defensive rebounds well, but gave the Warriors the opportunity to use the mistakes to score, so the point difference could not be opened, the frontcourt rebounds needed to continue to maintain the momentum of G2, while controlling the mistakes, they should focus on a little more, unnecessary advance passing, burst into the middle of the inner line, reduce unnecessary horizontal and vertical passes, and can hang high passes
(2) The old man must also nibble the old man, the impact of the play of the guy on this round of the series is no less than the play of Tatum and others, he needs to hit the empty three-pointer, or the ability to shoot three points, otherwise the presence is a non-spatial point, increasing the offensive difficulty of the double probe flower to break through the inside line
(3) The collapse of the third quarter of G2 was once caused by the attack can not be opened, and the defense cannot be defended. In the middle of the third quarter, the guy was particularly targeted at this point, Curry's three points, the guy himself a low single Clay, the inside line basket, the pass was not hit, these rounds gave the Warriors enough opportunities to open up the point difference, so how to do a good job of defensive communication and coordination, need the green army full efforts
The finals are the two sides of the continuous coaching game, the lineup alignment is changing rapidly, everyone sees the tricks, such a final is wonderful, let us look forward to G3
