Chapter 141 Status Rebound(1/2)
Klay Thompson, it was indeed a very uncomfortable start to this game.
It's just that feeling of discomfort and powerlessness.
However, the entire Warriors team is still using tactics on the offensive end and does not consider the players' personal status.
In other words, even if Klay Thompson is in poor form, when the opportunity really appears, everyone will still pass the ball to him.
The arrival of Warriors' new coach Steve Cole has injected more genes for teamwork into the Warriors.
Even though Curry and Klay Thompson have strong outside shooting ability, they both create opportunities through teamwork, rather than forced individual attacks by players during the game.
Even though the Trail Blazers just scored a goal, the Warriors' bottom-line free throw speed was very fast, forcibly using their own propulsion speed to make an offensive and defensive transition.
Curry dribbled the ball just after halftime, and passed the ball with one hand and found Klay Thompson who had quickly moved down to the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
After receiving the ball, Klay Thompson directly chose to make a three-pointer. After shaking away Matthews' center of gravity, he dribbled through.
However, because Klay Thompson's offense was not good today, although Matthews was shaken away from the center of gravity, he did not fully jump.
So the position was adjusted very quickly. Although it was impossible to exert complete defensive pressure on Klay Thompson, a "hungry tiger" who was on the front still poked Klay Thompson's dribble and gave the Warriors a baseline ball.
It's too difficult for Klay Thompson to score.
However, as a player who has been struggling in the league for several years, Klay Thompson is always able to make adjustments in time when facing difficulties.
After all, he is also the leader among the 11th rookies. For Klay Thompson, it is not too difficult to quickly complete adjustments according to the situation on the court in the game.
The baseline ball served, Klay Thompson did not wait for the outside to catch the ball this time, but suddenly rushed to the inside area. In the process, he borrowed a cover from his teammates and successfully helped him hinder Matthews' follow-up defense.
Klay Thompson dared to come to the basket to catch the ball, and Green, who was free throwing the ball, really dared to complete the pass.
The bottom line serves, and directly passes the ball with a force, passing it from Zhang Feng and Aldridge, and just shovels into Klay Thompson's hand.
Clay directly took advantage of his position with Matthews and rose up at the basket, completing the board attack and attacking the basket, and hitting the Trail Blazers' defense unexpectedly.
At the beginning, Klay Thompson, who had been in a bad offense, used this method to complete offensive scores, which was also somewhat unexpected.
Is this tactic difficult? Not difficult!
Is it complicated? Not complicated either!
But when it was suddenly used, the Trail Blazers' defense was obviously a little stunned, and some people didn't expect that the opponent would use this move.
This is why many people think the Warriors have the ability to stir the entire league before the season begins.
Steve Cole is the last puzzle for the team, making the Golden State Warriors stronger.
The tactics pursued by Cole and the ultimate cooperation of the team will be able to fully utilize the players' rare personal abilities and overall abilities.
Rich tactics and various offensive options have greatly strengthened the Warriors' offensive methods, so that the opponent can't defend.
Lillard continued to patiently seek cover from his teammates.
Zhang Feng's pick-and-roll in the high position once again provided Lillard with excellent cover.
When Lillard faced Bogut who was transferred, he naturally had the confidence to play in the singles.
However, after bypassing the cover provided by Zhang Feng, Curry still retreated to the inside to double-team Lillard.
Lillard must not be allowed to perform, even if Zhang Feng continues to shoot from the outside.
Steve Cole is very confident in the offensive ability of his players, especially their outside shooting ability.
However, when it comes to the defensive end, Steve Cole still believes that appropriate rotation defense can effectively restrain Zhang Feng's shooting ability.
result……
With the double-teamed Lillard, Lillard of course continued to pass the ball to Zhang Feng who opened up space on the perimeter.
After Zhang Feng received the ball, he immediately took action.
This time the attack speed was faster than the previous one, which made Klay Thompson's rotation defense lose.
The ball turned into a somewhat flat arc in the air, but because Zhang Feng shook his wrist and exerted sufficient force, the ball rotated quickly and fell directly into the basket.
Continuing to score, the Trail Blazers' own offense at home played very well and controlled a very high shooting percentage.
The Trail Blazers have excellent offensive play, but the Warriors, who play away, are also seeking an offensive end and perform better.
Barnes pulled out to the high position on the right and attacked with the ball. Then he faced Batum's defense and had no good chance, so he directly handed the ball to Bogut, who was supporting the front.
As a high center forward, Bogut has the best view to watch the situation on the court at the top of the front free throw arc.
And throughout the summer this year, in order to achieve Steve Cole's tactical goals, Bogut has been conducting pass training in the summer.
It is to have high passing ability when you are in a high position and quickly send the ball to the place where you can attack.
This time, Bogut accurately caught Curry's run to the basket during the offense, and passed the ball with a hit, directly finding the advance amount of Curry's counter-running direction.
Curry, who received the ball at the basket, jumped directly onto a counter-skirts, allowing Lillard's defense to not cause much interference.
This is the essence of the Warriors teamwork.
With sufficient firepower on the outside, the Warriors can also play beautiful teamwork. Apart from Bogut doing blue-collar work on the court, you can never know who will suddenly stand up and use a no-ball cover to easily get a scoring opportunity.
Although Lillard still wanted to find a pick-and-roll with Zhang Feng this time, this time, before the pick-and-roll was completed, the Warriors suddenly changed their defensive strategy and directly used two outside players to double-team Lillard in the game.
Lillard had to transfer the ball out and hand it over to his teammates to launch an attack.
On the Warriors' side, Bogut was defending the three-second zone, while the other Dream Chasing Green and Barnes were rushing wildly to ensure that they would put some pressure on their opponents even when shooting.
Matthews finally got the chance to take the open position.
It was just a mid-range jump shot that didn't make the game. It can only be said that Matthews wasted this good opportunity.
But Matthews' mid-for-money distance from shooting, the ball hit the basket and flew far enough.
Bogut's movement speed was still too slow. Zhang Feng moved quickly within three seconds zone, and rushed to the landing position first and grabbed the rebound.
When the Golden State Warriors players instantly retreated to the inside and wanted to encircle themselves.
Zhang Feng was afraid that the ball would be knocked out when he raised it, so he immediately passed the ball to the ground and handed the ball back to Lillard's hand outside the three-point line.
Lillard withdrew from outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, there was no defensive player beside him. He adjusted and made a direct three-pointer.
But, still smacking.
Sometimes Lillard's simple three-point shooting may not be as good as his shooting percentage under various difficult conditions.
However, Zhang Feng also has rebounds in the interior.
This time, Bogut had already leaned on Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng used his movement ability to reach out his hand from the side, picked up the ball first, and then during the second jump, Zhang Feng completely gained the advantage and directly took off the ball.
And he started to strengthen for the third time, and directly hit a small throw at the basket and threw the ball into the basket.
Although Bogut is tall and weight and is an excellent defensive player, this time, Zhang Feng was still sanctioned by his own flexibility.
The continuous frontcourt rebounds and final offensive ability have already attracted Steve Cole's attention.
"You can't continue to ignore him like this. Unexpectedly, you grew up so quickly. When Bogut faced Zhang Feng, he couldn't win on the defensive end?"
With two All-Star players, plus these "role players" with quite strong personal abilities, the Blazers are still quite strong.
Even though he thought his team had the capital to call it a strong team, Steve Cole suddenly felt that this Trail Blazers should not be underestimated.
Cole feels that this season's Trail Blazers will not only compete with themselves in rankings, but also in the playoffs, but the young people of the two teams will have a more tragic battle after they grow further.
Now, everything is just a preview of the new season.
No matter how the Trail Blazers score, the speed of the bottom line has always been very fast.
The reason why the Warriors were able to win big scores in the previous two regular season games this year was that the Warriors' offensive and defensive transformation was excellent.
When the opponent's attack fails to advance, the Warriors' counterattack will be lightning, giving the opponent the heaviest blow.
Even if the opponent scores, the Warriors will use the fast-selling baseline ball to force the game to increase the pace of the game by themselves, creating artificial offensive and defensive opportunities.
This time, Zhu Meng Green quickly dribbled the ball forward and broke through.
One-stop breakthrough.
Zhu Meng Green's growth is obvious to all and has a certain degree of offensive autonomy, so even if he really chooses to force himself to attack the basket for this goal, it is not impossible.
However, Zhu Meng Green would not attack by himself.
He knows very well who the team's real killer is.
While walking, the ball was suddenly distributed to Curry, who followed up 45 degrees on the right.
After Curry received the ball, he immediately made a three-pointer, successfully shook Lillard's defensive center of gravity and directly launched a breakthrough.
Seeing the Trail Blazers' inside retracted and was ready for the battle, Curry directly chose to stop within one step of the three-point line and completed the "horse-riding and archery" shooting action.
Curry's shooting is really awesome, as a pure shooter, it may lead the trend of the new era of the NBA.
If you can't defend the Warriors' offense, you can only make up for it on the offensive end.
The Trail Blazers can only use their own offense to maintain their leading advantage.
This time, Lillard, who had been launched as an offensive end, began to be responsible for shooting on the periphery, and the heavy responsibility of personal offense was to Aldridge.
After a lob found Aldridge, the Trail Blazers split 4 or 1 directly, not giving the opponent a chance to gather to defend.
Aldridge's single-player dream-chasing ability was leveraged. Although he responded on the offensive end and advanced a lot, Aldridge knew that he was not as good as Huang Zhuang Green in terms of strength. The opponent might just be afraid of fouls, so he didn't push it out with all his strength.
To be continued...
