Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eighth: Locked to Chasing Dreams
In the middle of the second quarter, the behind Warriors once again set up five small lineups in advance, but this time when the Warriors just set up five small lineups, Blatt quickly reflected and replaced Jefferson to fight.
Lin Sen's counterattack became Green. Compared to Bogut's research, Lin Sen's research on Green more, because he knew that the Warriors had at least about O minutes in the 48-minute game, which would allow Green as their center. The actual players he actually matched would be the No. 5 position above 2 meters.
Lin Sen knew that he was a little similar to Green. The two were the defensive cores of the Cavaliers and the Warriors, and were both very good at assisting and supplementing defense. However, Lin Sen's protection of the penalty area was more strong, and the advantage of height and wingspan was here, while Green's sweeping area was larger.
However, on the offensive end, the two are two completely different characters. Although Green's offensive ability is not excellent, he has two distinct characteristics: his level of ball-holding and pushing forward, his ability to pass the ball in propulsion, and his good three-point ability. This allows him to hold the ball at the top of the arc whether in fast attack or position.
Irving, Shampoo, James, Jefferson, Linson, the reason why he didn't play JR Smith is because Blatt believes that defense is more important than offense when facing the Warriors' fifth-seater.
Green once again held the ball at the top of the arc, but this time he felt a little uncomfortable. Lin Sen was 10 cm taller than him and his wingspan was also very good. Warriors players were still able to rely on their skillful cooperation to find opportunities to cut in, but it was useless, because Lin Sen blocked a large part of the routes that passed into the inside like a wall in front of him.
At the beginning, the Cavaliers made a decision on the way to play against five small players in this game. The outside defense must be expanded and the dead three-pointer was scored. For the Warriors' empty cut, Lin Sen will strangle Green's goal point.
"The idea is very good. Now it depends on whether Lin can freeze Drummond." When he came to the Cavaliers' home court, Mark Jackson, among the four commentators, changed to Van Gundy, who admired Linson's defense the most. He saw the idea of the Cavaliers' lineup and also saw Linson's purpose. The focus now is whether Linson can do what the Cavaliers coaching staff hopes he can do.
Jefferson on the outside was still unable to keep up with Barnes' pace. When he and Curry made a pick-and-roll without a ball, the two Cavaliers' defensive players focused all their attention on the unanimous VP Curry, but the North Carolina Blackhawks cut to the inside very quickly at the same time.
The great opportunity, the Cavaliers fans held their heads one by one and didn't want to see their baskets being ravaged, but this incident was not done at all. Green's pass was intercepted by Lin Sen.
Lin Sen opened the black hole of the court as soon as he played. Whether the score difference could be widened in the second quarter was very important for the Cavaliers. Faced with this pass, Lin Sen reacted quickly. When Barnes cut in, Lin Sen knew that he had been penetrated, and the experience of the black hole of the court and his high-tension effect also appeared.
This ball is a very low-range pass. Logically speaking, passing over at a height on the side of a Gundam center is already a very good choice. But now Lin Sen, on the opposite side, has excellent defensive experience and excellent wingspan, and this ball completed the steal.
The Warriors' ease Ba11 did not score, but was intercepted by Lin Sen and started a quick counterattack. The Cavaliers' players reacted quickly, five against four in the frontcourt. Finally, before Barnes ran back, Lin Sen received a pass from Jefferson and made a layup.
The Warriors' five small players are famous for one of three-pointers and two-pointers, but today they have been counterattacked several times by the Cavaliers, which is unacceptable to the Warriors, who have always been proud of their counterattacks.
Lin Sen's defense effect is very good, so good that it was beyond what Van Gundy had imagined at the beginning. He had far imagined Green's defense effect. Van Gundy was not sure why the look in front of him was wrong, not just the look, but in fact, such a young second-round rookie had such a high talent on the defensive end. Every time he met, he felt that he was improving quickly.
The Warriors finally felt what other teams felt like when they were about to beat them back. In the venue of the loan center, their three-pointers were not good, which was even more uncomfortable for the Warriors who could not open the inside. They could not make any shots from the outside and were not easy to pass in the inside. Once they did not hit, the Cavaliers' counterattack swept over like a storm.
"Oh my God! It's so terrible to play with these two teams, I can't stand it." O'Neal shouted with his head in his arms. Obviously, the current game scene made O'Neal say that he couldn't accept it at all.
"Why?" Rachel was a little confused and didn't understand why O'Neal was suddenly so crazy.
Barkley understood a lot and said with a smile: "If this fat man runs the first half of the quarter with these two teams in such a game, he probably has to rest off the court for a quarter before he can return to the court again!"
"Hey! Charles, how much do you think you're better than me? These damn guys, they should go to track and field instead of basketball."
"Sorry, I've been holding on for a long time than you, and I could fight back like a train at the beginning. Moreover, track and field is now a must-practice subject in modern basketball."
These two big guys are still very good at engaging in the atmosphere. In fact, if O'Neal at the peak can really exist on the offensive end of a certain team, it may be difficult for them to fight back. After all, among these two teams, it is estimated that no player can compete with O'Neal. Of course, there may not be many in the NBA's league history who can compete with him.
The second quarter ended with Lin Sen's excellent counterattack. He had 2 steals and 2 blocks in a single quarter. Without looking at other data, just this defensive data can be felt by many professionals.
