Chapter 1049 Continue to Crazy Output
Xie Kai is so tough, which caused some headaches for the Warriors fans on the scene.Of course, they didn't see him being so strong on the first day, so they could expect him to score so crazyly in the first quarter, and they don't know what happened today, it's not his style.
Back from the timeout, the Warriors did not make any substitutions and continued to defend Xie Kai alone.
Facing Xie Kai's defense, Russell no longer tries to go one-on-one. He uses more off-ball screens, pick-and-rolls, mislocations, or other operations when the opponent is delayed.
The Warriors still have no problem with their offense. Even though Beverly is very good at defending, it is still too difficult to defend the unanimous MVP who is so good without the ball and with the ball in a one-on-one situation.
Both sides couldn't defend the other's core figures, and the game entered a confrontational battle.
Xie Kai took a break in the first quarter at about the same time as the previous game, and the game entered the transition period of the first half.
The main focus of the Clippers' transition period is the pick-and-roll between Reed and Harrell.The reason why this pick-and-roll is difficult to defend is not because both of them are versatile.In fact, Harrell has no 3-point ability, so he can only run down the pick-and-roll but not outside.For the defender, he will not guess the opponent's offensive routine when defending.
But even this routine is extremely difficult to defend against.
The Warriors like to switch defenses, but once they switch defenses, Harrell goes down to catch the ball and faces the opponent's outside players, and it is difficult for the opponent to stop him.Many people compare him to the "half-orc" Faried of the Nuggets back then, but in fact he is not as good at jumping as the orc, but in terms of finishing ability at the basket and fine work at the basket, the orc is far behind him .
Harrell can not only eat cakes down, but he can also play with the ball. He has good skills facing the frame, and he can also eat defenders smaller than himself with his back.His style of play is more like Stoudemire's in the Suns, but his talent is not as good as Stoudemire's.
And Lu Wei is only 183cm, as thin as the AI back then. The defensive end is naturally an ATM machine, but on the offensive end, his unpredictable jumper, erratic layup after dribbling, and cunning skill of touching porcelain, this Makes him extremely difficult to guard against.His passing is far from that of a passing master, but with a partial two-person cooperation, he can still pass the ball.
The charm of the pick-and-roll in positions 1-5 is that when you switch defenses, he can misplace you and eat you. Your delay requires a high degree of teammate tacit understanding. attack frame.And if the flanking ball holder does not have someone on the wing to help rotate, as long as the person who is going down the line receives the pass from the flanking ball holder, the door will be wide open.
The strength of the Luha combination is that they can play misplaced, can hold the ball, and are familiar with each other, a bit like the poor man's version of Nash Stoudemire.
The Warriors' 2nd team looks a lot shabby.Their biggest change this season is not Durant's departure and Buddha's reimbursement, but the complete lack of bench depth.
Because of the explosion of salary space, the first brother went to the Grizzlies, Livingston chose to retire when he was old, and Rooney came to the starting lineup.So seeing the lineup of Pascal, Jacob Evans, Marquese Chriss, and Jordan Puer on the bench, those die-hard Warriors fans probably feel black question marks.
The reason why the Warriors were strong back then was that the Splash Brothers and Green's passing system was awesome, and the high-IQ basketball of Livingston Barbosa, the first team member in the second team, was also an important reason.They have the depth of the lineup, so Splash can rest well and have the energy to end the game in the fourth quarter.
Therefore, for a general strong team, if the second lineup is not good, the main players will be tired from playing, and their risk of injury will increase.It is true that everyone can reduce the rotation and fight for the main force in the playoffs, but what about the long regular season?Without enough win accumulation, it is difficult to have a good ranking, and then the playoffs will become difficult.
The Warriors' second lineup also plays pass and cut, and it doesn't play as clearly as the starting lineup.Their Chuanqie is more like Chuanqie in the cloak of "X**D".
Of course, the Clippers’ pick-and-roll combination Warriors can’t defend. Chris dunks and often scored 5 best shots and 10 best shots. But on the defensive end, there is a huge gap between his level and chasing eggs. , which made Cole, who valued defense, shake his head.
The reason why the Warriors were able to rise back then was the contract bonus is an important reason. Now that the contract bonus has disappeared, their salaries have exploded, so they can only sacrifice the second team and sign some crooked melons with obvious defects to make up the number. .
Fortunately, this weird lineup is okay to play offense blindly. The Clippers' second general Huo Ha is indeed A-level offensively, but the defense is C-, Lu Wei is not good at single defense, and there is no help defense at all.Not every 183cm player is CP3. Lu Wei's defense is disaster-level, but he is a guard. You can also expect the striker and inside teammates to wipe his ass.
But Harrell's defense is poor, but no one wipes his ass.
Harrell is only 203cm tall. Playing a center forward with this height, frame protection is of course a weakness.He can't stand up to those tall insiders in the low post. He likes to squat in the pick-and-roll defense, so he is easy to be targeted by the opponent.Originally, it would not work for Reed to squeeze the screen and go around the screen. The defense alone is unreliable, and Harrell is squatting again, so as long as the opponent plays pick-and-roll against them, it is really rewarding from time to time.
The second team on both sides is you come and go, playing against each other, no one can hold the other.
This really surprised both sides and the fans at the scene. Cole is satisfied, because being able to tie with the opponent's second team is already a task completed.
At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers in the away game led by 39 point at 38:1.
Xie Kai scored 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the first quarter, and continued to fire after the last game.
Break between festivals.
Duan Ran asked: "Mr. Su, under what circumstances do you think Coach Cole would choose to flank Xie Kai?"
Su Qun replied: "It should be that the single defense is useless and the score is behind. He may choose to change his thinking and gamble on the open shots of the Clippers' role players. I don't think he wants to do that. You know the Warriors It is a team that likes to switch defenses very much, and does not like flanking, and it is Tyronn Lue who likes flanking. Unless it is a last resort, he is unlikely to go back and adjust his defensive strategy."
After the start of the second quarter, the two teams continued to attack.The fans enjoyed watching this kind of attack, and the home team did not lag behind. The offensive rhythm was very fast, with various 2-pointers and various dunks, like a revolving lantern.
