Chapter 456: Lose the top spot

"Three-pointers, just like last year's finals, we have to defend against the opponent's three-pointers first." Lin Sen suggested in the locker room. He really needs to defend against the opponent's three-pointers. The opponent's three-pointers are too accurate. The three three-pointers have never stopped in their own rhythm. The Pacers' defense cannot hold on now!

Gallinari can't get off the ball either. Many times, Lin Sen's goal is also his first pass when he is double-teamed in the inside. This requires the trio on the outside to have strong defensive ability. McMillan adopted Lin Sen's idea. At this time, if you want to chase points, facing the historically-level attacking Tsunami brothers, their defense on the outside must be fully adequate.

Eric happened to play long enough in the second quarter. At this time, Oladipo and cJ Myers were on the defense to strengthen, and at the third position, they had to choose to continue to believe in Grant.

This is too difficult for Lin Sen's task. He has to become the team's only offensive core on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he has to become the first person to fill up after Gallinari was replaced by others, and he has to always pay attention to and direct the running positions of their three players.

As soon as the third quarter came, the Warriors' familiar five-smalls came again. Last year, the five-smalls played Curry, and this year, the five-smalls became Durant. After a continuous pick-and-roll pass at the top of the arc, the opponent suddenly had a high-profile basket. Because Lin Sen had problems with the initial running position, he was still standing outside the three-point line, and the inside line was already an empty penalty area at this moment.

The player who got the ball from the outside was Iguodala. Iguodala has begun to decline more and more now. Not to mention the difference between him and the 2o55 at his peak, it is also a big gap with the finals mVp two years ago. But this year the Warriors still used 480,000 yuan to stay with Iguodala for three years. Why is that? It is because he has a hand pass, and he can not only defend and three-pointers, but also pass the ball. Just talking about his passing ability, he is better than the arc top card player, which is also the arc top pass, and he accurately found Durant who cut the empty cut, and Durant easily completed the all-received dunk directly.

Gallinari was confused. He should have returned in time for this ball just now. Moreover, Lin Sen had already called him back when he was defending, but his movement was completely unavailable to defend. My head wanted to return to defend, but my body refused. In the lineup of five smalls, if Gallinari was pulled outside, it would be a little unrealistic to want him to come back to protect the frame again.

What you can clearly feel now is that the Warriors are in good shape tonight, so good that the Pacers can't solve it. Unexpectedly, the Pacers were very dead on the three-pointer, but they were broken through the inside defense they were proud of.

Moreover, the Warriors' defense was also raised. They began to play joint defense to test the Pacers' three-pointers, no longer giving Lin Sen a chance to fight one-on-one in the inside. Not to mention whether Lin Sen received the ball or not, it was impossible for Lin Sen to catch the ball so easily when he went around in the front to defend. After receiving the ball, Lin Sen had to pass the ball immediately. Grant from the outside received the ball and scored a three-pointer.

His feel seemed to be contagious across the Pacers' outside line. Oladipo was not in good condition tonight. The Pacers defended three-pointers well, but they also lost their three-pointers. Except for Gallinari, whom they took due to the offense, there was no three-pointer online. Lin Sen was also in a hurry to come out and throw three-pointers, but he didn't make any. Lin Sen's three-pointers were rarely used as a conventional weapon, and sometimes they felt very good. For example, in the finals last year, the Warriors, who made three three-pointers on Green's head at critical moments, were confused.

Unfortunately, he is not always like this, making the top of the arc and the bottom corner, making the Warriors' league more comfortable in the entire third quarter.

"The Pacers are so uncomfortable, Lin's teammates didn't give him enough help. Maybe before the All-Star, either make their outside defense, especially the forward style better, or they should try to trade a great offensive player back, Victor's offense played too badly tonight." Bill Walton spoke a little like a hardcore Linson fan.

Moreover, in the Warriors' fifth small group in the past few years, there was one more person, Nick Young, you can say that he is a player who is completely out of the Warriors system, but how do you think he played? The two three-pointers on the draw directly made the score difference in the final third quarter of the game reach double digits.

As the game slowly began to move towards the end, the Pacers in the fourth quarter did not show the momentum that Pacers fans wanted to see, and their offense did not improve. After losing the game at 1o2:117 in this critical game, the league's first place had handed over the Warriors from the Pacers. This incident was born in the Banker's Life Arena, but the Pacers fans were a little disappointed, because they were witnesses who handed over the league's first place, which was naturally uncomfortable.

McMillan was actually prepared for the failure of this game. To say that their lineup is weaker than last year? This is not necessarily the case that Oladipo and Garlinari's offensive ability is not worse than George in McMillan's eyes, but last year's lineup was not the best in the East at the beginning. They started the last year far less than a few years ago, but as the season progressed step by step, the Pacers' chemistry became better.

He thought this failure was pretty good, and he could sum up a lot from this game.

What is the situation when Lin Sen is double-teamed?

Tonight in Oladipo, Gordon's pair of double guns should change when they are in a downturn.

How to play other tactics when you are not accurate in three-pointers, and how to do it if you feel bad.

These are just problems on the offensive end, and there are also problems on the defensive end. Tonight, the opponent scored 117 points. This is a problem. The loss of points is too high. The opponent's three-point shooting percentage was 18 of 41 shots tonight. This hit rate is simply terrifying, with a three-point shooting percentage of nearly 45%. This is not one person, but the whole team. I don't know if it should be said that the Warriors are in good condition or what, maybe the Christmas buff bonus is too large.
