Chapter 359: 3-2 joint defense

"Stephen and Kevin were a little unreasonable when they played pick-and-roll together. Paul George was very tired on the defensive end, and although Linson protected the basket, the opponent did not seem to be obsessed with completing the offense at the basket." As a veteran commentator, Bill Walton saw the progress of the game very clearly, "This Warriors' offense from the outside was unexpectedly smooth."

The rhythm of the first two quarters began to gradually become mastered by the Warriors. After roughly understanding the referee's ideas, the Warriors obviously did better. They were cautious enough on the defensive end, and at the same time, on the offensive end, they played very actively.

"Lin! Go to the front to defend, we need you to stop their outside shooting." McMillan did not gain anything in this half of the quarter when he was defeated by others, at least he saw clearly where his defensive weaknesses were.

Lin Sen nodded. In fact, he himself discovered this problem. The skill of the defensive commander is still very obvious to improve the position selection. If McMillan did not call a timeout in this round, he would make changes on the defensive end.

From 2-3 joint defense to 3-2 joint defense, the only position in the change was Lin Sen's position, from the inside to the free throw line. In this way, he liberated the two players standing at the top of the arc and allowed them to expand to the three-point line. Of course, the consequence of doing so was to make the Pacers more empty in the inside.

The Warriors' offense in the next round is on the outside, but the chances on the outside are not very good. George and CJ Myers are two players who have expanded very deeply. As long as they take a step inside, they will usher in Lin Sen's assisted defense. For Lin Sen, the assisted defense at this position, is fully capable of following them to the inside before completing the blocking.

Once the Warriors pass the ball, both of them can easily form a clamp attack on the outside wings, and even if they pass the ball again, they can easily form a supplementary defense. This highly efficient space-enlarged version of joint defense is probably only the Pacers can do it, and the core of the formation is precisely because of the existence of Lin Sen.

At a high position, he can complete the assisted defense inside line, he can clamp the ball holder, and he can complete the big defense against the small! Only this year's best defensive player Lin Sen can do such a task.

The Warriors missed the first forced three-pointer. After the Pacers pushed the counterattack, the Pacers found an opportunity during the counterattack. They passed the ball quickly while Green was marching. After Lin Sen found the opportunity at the first time, he passed the ball over. CJ Myers from the bottom corner received the ball and raised his hand to shake the opponent, directly entering the inside to complete the dunk.

On the contrary, it was not just three points! In this round, the Pacers' counterattack taught the Warriors a lesson, and the importance of defense in the inside line in counterattack.

The Pacers' three-and-two joint defense will greatly expand the defense space, and their biggest gap in defense is in the inside line. The Warriors' top offensive team plus double MVP can still be read out quickly for the changes on the court.

Offensive inside, empty cut! This is the main tone of the next attack. After the pick-and-roll, the purpose of passing the ball directly looks to Green, who cuts the ball in the inside. When receiving the ball, he rushed to Turner, who was defending him, and then wanted to complete the layup.

But at this time, Turner was just to delay his offensive movements. The Pacers' real defense came from behind him. Lin Sen had two big strides rushed from the free throw line to assist in defense.

Green has a lot of assists, but he is just a king of arcs. When he rushed to the dead end of the inside, he took off and faced Lin Sen, and wanted to move a large scale outside the three-point line. I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know where his teammates are.

Forced attacks are followed by big hats. This is Lin Sen's qualitative change in this defensive system. His existence can make up for the biggest inside loophole in 3-2 joint defense, and to a certain extent it will definitely have a great interference to the inside.

"So beautiful! So crazy! Just a second ago, I remember Lin was still standing at the free throw line. After a second, poor Drummond had to be forced to accept a super nail-board hat." Bill Walton liked such a defensive performance, and he used this defense to lead the Trail Blazers to the championship.

As for Barkley, although he believes that physical confrontation is important, he often admits that Lin Sen is irreplaceable in this era, but he also believes that players like Lin Sen are likely to be unable to gain a foothold because of their physical confrontation. Seeing this scene, he feels that even if Lin Sen does not have physical contact with him, he can still give himself a big hat behind him.

Lin Sen's outstanding performance conquered countless big shots in the audience, and they were all applauding Lin Sen. Whether it was the ancient celebrities, the active big shots or the NBA executives, at least at this moment, they were conquered by Lin Sen's defensive performance.

The Warriors' offensive opportunity after the pick-and-roll was finally curbed by such a joint defense. The Pacers' offense began to recover. This is a defensive team. When their defense improves and can accomplish most of the things they should do, their offensive state will become better.

George performed particularly clearly in this regard, saying that Lin Sen was slow to heat up, but except for the first finals, the slowest hottest player has become George, especially since he was beaten by Durant in the second game, George must have achieved some results on the offensive end after excellent defense.

Now is his chance to perform on the offensive end. George is facing Iguodala now. In front of such a master of cutting balls, it is not that easy to pull. The best pick among small forwards should be Durant, who is on the opposite side. But at the critical moment last year, at least at the critical moment, he wanted to use pull to solve the game. He was cut twice in a row by Iguodala.

George naturally did not plan to do this. George played very smartly. Their back was the best way for them to face Iguodala. To be precise, Iguodala should be a forward guard swaying man. He was barely two meters tall, but he was strong enough and fast enough. He would not suffer a loss when facing a small forward who was a little taller than him.

This time, George was very patient in playing, using his arm span to get stuck to the middle distance, and then rotated with his body to protect his shot position and easily completed a one-handed throw.
