Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Six: The Five Smalls That Are Set Up in Advance
The Warriors were in good shape at home, and after Curry was Thompson. The two of them took turns to play with the Warriors' empty cut and pick-and-roll space to make three-pointers. Only 4 minutes into the game, the Warriors had already scored a 18:8 wave, hitting a double-digit lead.
"It seems that the Warriors' good feel continues to the finals, and Stephen and Clay have already hit a point. Outside the three-point line, they look unstoppable."
"Lin's problem is very big. After the pick-and-roll, he couldn't stop the Shuihua brothers from taking action as soon as possible."
The commentator on the stage was a little dissatisfied with the Knight's performance, while Rachel looked at Lin Sen with a little concern. Bogut's pick-and-roll seemed to have caused him a lot of trouble, but she immediately shook her head, caring about whether that guy would be beaten up? The more miserable he was beaten, the better.
The referee must see Bogut's movements before he can blew his whistle at Oracle Stadium. Lin Sen actually doesn't want to use this skill. The original author is still sitting on the bench opposite. In the mid-All-Star, the Cavaliers gave up Vallejo, a meritorious veteran who could hardly play in order to get Frye. The latter joined the Warriors after being slashed. Now, they have become tit-for-tat opponents in the finals.
The Warriors slowly advanced, and the ball was still Green. This time Bogut planned to help Thompson do a pick-and-roll without the ball, but he still had small moves against Lin Sen, but Lin Sen fell to the ground the moment Bogut moved across him. The referee saw it clearly. This time it was not a violation of movement cover, but an offensive foul was called.
"Boy, you're just pretending to fall!" He felt ashamed of Bogut, who thought he was an old fox, being a rookie who made an offensive foul.
"I am learning from the seniors of international players. The mobile pick-and-roll without the referee's call is a beautiful pick-and-roll, and the fake throw with the referee's call is a veritable offensive foul." Of course, Lin Sen also covered his mouth with his jersey while saying something. There are too many lip-speaking experts in this world, which is very dangerous.
Rachel on the commentator's seat was a little curious: "Why did Lin cover his mouth with his jersey?"
"I guess he must be saying something that made Andrew unhappy." Buckley had a smile on his face. He knew this well and naturally understood that Lin Sen was definitely trash-talking.
This foul went back and forth, and the Cavaliers started off as soon as they were attacking. After this ball rights conversion, Irving hit another point at a 45-degree angle, and the score difference instantly narrowed to 5 points.
Bogut dared not use his pick-and-roll randomly to help Shuis get a mobile phone chance on the offensive end. Now it seems that before the game begins, Valejo's instructions to him were not unreasonable.
"Andrew, you need to pay attention to the pick-and-roll next on the offensive end, Lin"
"Don't worry! Just a rookie."
Now that I think of the conversation that happened in the locker room before, I have to say that only the actor can see an actor's acting skills. After Bogut honestly took the pick-and-roll, Lin Sen's defensive pressure was greatly reduced, and Lin Sen's two consecutive shots were interfered with by Lin Sen.
Looking back, the Cavaliers' offense hit what they wanted to hit. Lin Sen helped Irving pull to the outside line on the right after the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. When the pick-and-roll was hot outside, James threw away Barnes and received Irving's high-altitude pass. This basketball specimen known as God-made fully demonstrated his running and jumping talent at this moment.
This is very similar to the connection between Zhan Wei back then. The Cavaliers' long shot ability pulled out from both inside players made the Warriors' paint area completely an unguarded back garden.
"Andrew's speed is too slow. By the time he found that LeBron had invaded the penalty area and turned around, LeBron had already completed the dunk and started running back."
"The offensive end cannot destroy the Cavaliers' defense. His only function is pick-and-roll and center axle, but this is limited by the fast-speed Lin. Instead, he is constantly breaking through by the Cavaliers as a weak point on the defensive end."
The Cavaliers began a counterattack at Oracle Center, with only one offensive tactic target. After pulling Boguter out, they hit the inside without limit. With this good inside posture and the three-pointer from outside Irving had already hit by jr Smith, the Cavaliers came from behind to gain a little lead.
This made Warriors head coach Cole not care about his back injury and stood on the edge of the court and walked around. With a wave of his hand, he decisively replaced Iguodala, and directly put five small points in the first quarter.
Blatt is not a coach who responds quickly on the spot. He has been coaching in Europe for many years and is used to European stern substitution methods and regular time rotations. He has not reacted to Cole's five-small position in advance.
Love, one of the three giants, undoubtedly became the breakthrough point for the Cavaliers at this time. The Warriors' three-point shooting percentage of five small players this season is good. Green has a shooting percentage of more than 5 in the regular season. Iguodala, who has the lowest three-point shooting percentage, will you really dare to let it go after you played in such a series with him last year?
The Cavaliers' defense change always let Love face the Warriors' Splash Brothers. Not to mention Love, Ibaka in the Western Conference Finals was shot through by these two guys. Just Love was placed in front of Ibaka like a third-class disabled arm span and the bounce like a fire box to prevent them? I'm afraid the opponent took action before he was ready.
Blatt's slowness directly put the Cavaliers in the first game into a state of doom. The Warriors' continuous empty cuts directly penetrated the Cavaliers' defense line. Lin Sen had done enough on the defensive end, but facing the Warriors players who always slipped into the inside, Lin Sen consumed a lot of energy.
When Blatt reacted, the Warriors once again surpassed the Cavaliers. More importantly, Linson was not physically strong enough, and the Cavaliers could only play a lineup like Shampoo, Irving, James, Jefferson, and TT with the Warriors' five small matches.
This lineup may not be much different from the Warriors' group of people in physical talent, but the offensive ability of both sides is not at the same level. Everyone of the Warriors' five small players is considered a good player on the offensive end, but the Cavaliers' Jefferson is already old. His peak is indeed very suitable for this lineup, but now he is an old guy who is about to retire. Even superstars like Duncan and Kobe have not escaped this year.
