Yu Jia laughed and said, "Everyone put their best efforts into this game!"
Yang Yi agreed: "The outcome of this game is likely to determine whether they will advance to the finals. Of course, the Warriors won. Needless to say, they advanced directly. If the Grizzlies win, it means that they have found a solution to the Warriors. 5 The key to a small lineup, in the tiebreaker, they will play at home, and with the added confidence and Xie Kai’s field control, I think their chances of advancing are much greater.”
Curry dribbled the ball and gave it to Iguodala in the high post.
The strategy of the Grizzlies, in addition to the Splash Brothers, the remaining three of the Warriors' five small lineups, they did not completely deny 5-pointers.On the contrary, instead of giving the opponent an easy inside cut opportunity, they encouraged Brother Yi, Green and the North Carolina Blackhawks to try 3-pointers.
The Splash Brothers are indeed too accurate. You can’t give open opportunities, and you are always the one who is injured. But the 3-point level of the first brother and three others is not very good. He and Green are strong in versatility, defense, and golf quotient.If the five members of these five small lineups all have the same 3-point ability as the Splash Brothers, then under the current league's rule system, it may be difficult to find a team on this earth that can defend them.
Brother Yi holds the ball, but it is the inside big center Bai Xiong who defends him.
Yu Jia was a little surprised: "The Grizzlies asked Gasol to defend Iguodala. If the matchup is based, he should be defending Green!"
Yang Yi explained: "The Grizzlies have their reasons for this arrangement. Chasing Dream Green is the Warriors' axis. He will often go to the line and go to the top of the arc to cover Curry. If Gasol is allowed to defend, he will be caught. Curry is targeting. Now let Jeff Green go on defense, the Grizzlies can directly switch defenses, which can maximize the pick-and-roll of Curry and Green."
"But Iguodala is outside after all, so it's basically a shot!" Yu Jia said.
Yang Yi said with a smile: "There is no way to do this. Gasol is a center forward. He is facing 5 small lineups. He will be misplaced against anyone. The difference between Iguodala and Harrison Barnes is that he He doesn’t often stand in the bottom corner, he will go to the line to organize and hold the ball, and the Grizzlies don’t defend him, they still expand their defense, but the main purpose is to limit the splash, if it really doesn’t work, just let him go.”
The first brother faced the White Bears, who let him shoot, but he still tried a 3-pointer—"Bang——" hit the iron!
Xie Kai received a long rebound and counterattacked with the ball. The Warriors returned to defense very quickly. One of the advantages of the 5-small lineup is to return to defense quickly to avoid being counterattacked by the opponent.
Xie Kai came over with the ball and found that there was no chance to play more or less, so he gave the ball to Conley.
Conley came over with the ball, and the White Bears came up to play the pick-and-roll.
When the Warriors encountered this kind of pick-and-roll, they did not switch defenses, but let Curry squeeze through the screen, and Green delayed Conley.In this process, if the White Bears receive Conley's ball, they will have a chance to shoot high.Obviously, in order to prevent Curry from facing the White Bears after the switch, the Warriors didn't use the switch.
Conley gave the ball to the high-post White Bears, but the White Bears didn't shoot, and handed the ball to Xie Kai!
When Xie Kai caught the ball and used the white bear to help him delay, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and thrust the ball in with his left hand!
Barnes assisted in the defense, Xie Kai received the ball and threw it to Jeff Green in the corner with one hand.
Jeff Green's 3-point shot -- short!
But Xie Kai grabbed an offensive rebound, and he forcefully caused a foul by the North Carolina Blackhawks!
Yu Jia sighed: "The Warriors have a small lineup of 5, and rebounding is a weakness!"
Yang Yi nodded and said, "But there is no other way. You chose mobility and offensive space, and you must give up some rebounds and frame protection."
Xie Kai had the opportunity to go to the free throw line to break the deadlock on the court, because more than 2 minutes had passed, but the score between the two sides was still 0:0, and there was no free throw before.
The Warriors fans on the bottom line interfered with Xie Kai with air bars and noise, but the latter still made two free throws steadily!
2:0, the Grizzlies scored first.
Curry dribbled over, picked and rolled with Green, and gave it to Green.
Green faced Conley in the high post and gave the ball to Klay.
Clay holds the ball, and Iguodala comes over to pick and roll.
The Grizzlies chose to delay because Klay was slower to play the ball than Curry, and the breakthrough threat was not as good as Curry's characteristics, so they did not choose to switch defenses.
Clay gave the ball to Brother Yi, but the tactics still couldn't work out.
There is not much time left in the attack, and Brother Yi can only play singles.
The first brother who started his career with the Philadelphia 76ers didn't like scoring at the University of Arizona.He likes to organize, he likes to defend, he just doesn't like to score.So their career peak scoring season was only 19.9, not even 20.Of course, this is not because of poor scoring ability, but because he pursues to play reasonably and likes to pass the ball.
The first brother beat the white bear, he dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, facing the space given to him by the opponent, he still hesitated.His jumper posture is a bit weird. In the draft report, it is said that he likes to take off on one foot, can't shoot, and has low offensive desire.
The first brother chooses to break through the white bear.
The white bear seems to have been prepared for a long time, stepping back, giving you a chance to make a quick stop and jump shot, but not giving you a chance to break through the restricted area!
Bai Xiong is the top inside defender in the league. He is tall, but not to the point of being bulky, so with Brother Yi's current speed, it is really not easy to get rid of him.
Brother Yi forced a layup - but no!
Clay grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-up - being served by Jeff Green's big hat on the assist defense!
Everyone scrambled for the floor ball, and there was a scuffle in the penalty area...
Xie Kai was quick, grabbed the ball, and directly chose to counterattack. Clay's tactical foul destroyed him!
The Grizzlies have the ball!
The Warriors fans in the stands were a little depressed. Although the team was only 2 points behind, a 3-pointer, but since the 5 small lineup started, they have not been so constrained in offense as they are today!Is it just because the Grizzlies have changed their lineup, but the opponent has only transferred one person?
But this constipation rhythm is the Grizzlies favorite.Many of their classic battles in the past were won by defense.They don't care if they can't score, as long as the opponent can't score, then they can win. Winning 1 point is also winning, and victory is the most important thing.
The Grizzlies sent a sideline kick, Conley got the ball, came over with the ball, faced Curry, and forced a breakthrough!
Curry's defense is not bad, but relatively speaking, among the 5 players in the 5 small lineup, his defense is considered the worst.There is no way, the other 5 players are all decent flank bodies, and their athletic ability is also online. Curry's height is indeed 191, but he is average in confrontation, with a short wingspan and a small defensive area. After all, he suffers from hardware.
Conley stuck in his position, rushed to the inside, and shot a shot-hitting the board!
The Grizzlies lead 4:0!
