Chapter 637: Little Ball's Answer

At the end of the game, when the two teams shook hands, the old Nelson took Yi Jianlian and chatted for a long time.
Although the Warriors' chance of trading Yi Jianlian is very small or even nonexistent, this does not stop the old Nelson's love for him.
Just like Popovich against James in history, although he had no chance to cooperate, he couldn't stop him from saying in public that he wanted to coach James more than once.
But like it, like it, Yi Jianlian will become the most troublesome problem for the old Nelson in the following games.
Two days later, G4 of the finals continued to play in Oracle Arena.
Old Nelson's response to this game was that he slowed down!
He didn't fight for speed and conversion with the Bulls anymore, but reduced the tempo to shift the game into a positional battle.
This adjustment looks surprising, but it is also the difference between the old Nelson and the old Nelson in history.
The old Nelson in history is obsessed with offense, so his team has never defended.
But now, this has changed as early as the Mavericks.
Otherwise, the Mavericks won't be able to win the championship.
He is still an offensive coach, but he also has certain positional and defensive capabilities.
After the last game, he realized that Yi Jianlian now has the ability to fully surround Ibaka.
If you continue to fight for small balls, the Warriors are likely to lose like the last game.
He dragged the game into position and used Landry as a breakthrough.
So what you can see in the game is that Landry played singles with the ball in the low post more than once.
Peja, who is facing him, is swinging on the front line, but the typical offensive and defensive player is really at a disadvantage when facing Landry.
And although Ibaka is not as good as Yi Jianlian, there is still room for the Warriors and the Bulls are not good at double-teaming.
This tactic worked very well in the beginning.
And Scott is the iconic two-handed ring-chest, dumbfounded.
Backed by his peers, the old Nielsen showed Zhuge Nielsen's ability.
But soon, the effect of this tactic was completely diminished.
It's not that Landry's state is a problem, but that the Warriors have failed on the defensive end!
Put on Oden, Oden can't get out.
With Ibaka, it's easy for Paul to score from the basket.
This is also a scene where many teams face the death of the Warriors in the fifth hour in history.
Old Nelson was beaten by others with his own tactics...
In his heart, he scolded Scott, a shameless man.
But the curse was not enough, the Warriors finally lost the game 110 to 116.
The Bulls are in full bloom, with Paul, Yi Jianlian and Hamilton all scoring 20.
2 to 0, 2 to 2.
No one can think of this big score change.
And this change is completely visible.
Old Nelson offered a lineup without a center, and the Warriors had the upper hand;
The Bulls have followed suit, because the lineup is more suitable for old Nelson's tactics, and the Bulls have the upper hand.
The "pseudo-ball lineup" flooded the finals.
The finals are still very suspenseful so far, but it is foreseeable that no matter who wins this year, the old Nelson will be on fire again.
Because he once again led the basketball trend, and this time on a big stage like the finals.
"What else can the Warriors do?"
In the latest episode of TNT, the commentator throws up such a topic.
Although there is still suspense, what is completely different from before the start of the finals is that now it is clear that the Bulls have the upper hand.
They really have to fulfill the expectations of the fans and write a legend this season.
But people are like this sometimes. You expect a person to win, but when that person really wants to win, you might hope that the disadvantaged party can reverse the situation.
This is the so-called "sympathetic to the weak" mentality.
"They need grandchildren!"
Barkley answered as always.
"Charles, this is not a player's business, this is a brand new basketball concept."
This time, without waiting for Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson took the conversation first.
Before that, they had never seen a situation where they would have an advantage without using a big center.
If O'Neal is still there, or the Wizards make it to the Finals, with Yao Ming, this situation will not happen.
But now this assumption is not true!
The reality they see is that no matter who uses a big center, the two teams will be at an absolute disadvantage.
Whether it is due to the lack of dominance of Chandler and Oden on the inside, or the success of the crazy experiment of the old Nelson, this is the reality.
"I have a suggestion."
Kenny Smith's expression is serious this time.
His emotions also filled the curiosity of Bacchus and Johnson.
"Since it is a lineup without a center, I think the Warriors can do a bit more thoroughly and replace Karl Landry."
"What do you mean?"
Barkley didn't react at all.
"Let KD play the number four position."
Kenny Smith expressed his understanding.
"Are you serious?"
Barkley looked incredible.
Smith's understanding can be said to be very bold.
Because Durant said he is tall enough, but his current weight is impossible to play in the fourth position.
Even before Sun Hao came to the Warriors, he played shooting guard more often.
The swing in this position is a bit too big.
"I'm serious. We can't just look at whether KD can play the 4th position. We have to look at their opponents and tell me who is the player that KD can play against the 4th position?"
Smith asked rhetorically.
"Peja Skjakovic."
Ernie Johnson answered Barkley.
"So? So!"
Kenny Smith spread his hands and looked at Barkley.
Buckley thought for a while, then nodded.
In order to pursue the ultimate sense of space, the Bulls use Peja to play the fourth position.
But really speaking, Peja is also the main small forward.
Although his size including his weight can play the fourth position, his style of playing the fourth position has nothing in common with the traditional four position.
In other words, Durant's imaginary scene of using milk-feeding power to overcome people in a low position will not appear.
The offense and defense of the two will be more concentrated on the outside and off the ball.
Looking at it this way, Durant has no problem playing the fourth position.
This episode of TNT quickly attracted fan discussions on social media.
It feels like there are fans on the Bulls side, but TNT on the Warriors side!
The Battle of Tianwang Mountain will continue in Oracle Arena two days later.
In the past two days, the fans were discussing on social media, and then when the Warriors were training, some reporters also mentioned this to the old Nelson.
"Have you watched the latest TNT show?"
Old Nelson nodded honestly.
"So would you use KD to play the fourth position?"
"perhaps."
Old Nelson's answer is very intriguing.
It is basically impossible for him to reveal how the team will play in the next game.
But his non-negative answer shows that he has indeed considered Smith's suggestion.
Durant appeared in the fourth position in the battle of Tianwangshan?
This kind of thing is not impossible!
It took two days quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the battle of Tianwangshan was about to start at Oracle Arena.
Because of Smith's remarks, and because of the current situation in the finals, plus the battle of Tianwangshan, this game has attracted the highest degree of attention since the finals.
Then, under the attention of fans all over the world, the old Nelson made adjustments to the starting lineup again.
Sun Hao, Curry, McGrady, Durant, Ibaka!
Old Nelson, really adopted Smith's suggestion, let Durant play the 4th position, and directly start!
When this lineup came out, Scott was instantly stunned.
But the fans at the scene were very happy.
Let’s not talk about the effect of Durant playing the 4th position, but this unprecedented thing itself is very exciting!
After the opening ceremony, the photographers on the scene have also been shooting Durant.
Durant seemed unstressed.
Soon, the game between the two sides officially started.
Ibaka won the ball for the Warriors by jumping.
Then, something very interesting happened.
After the Warriors advanced to the frontcourt, the first offense was handed over to Durant to play in the low post!
Good guy, I didn't see the scene where Peja beat Durant on his back, but Durant came out first when he beat Peja on his back.
Moreover, this back hit was really professional. After turning around and shooting backwards, Durant completely threw Peja away.
"Huh!"
Then, with a beautiful back shot, Durant put the ball firmly into the basket!
At this time, the Oracle Arena was boiling.
From now on, the fourth position will be Durant's attribution!
But in fact, the scene in front of you is not surprising at all.
As mentioned before, among the top ten offensive methods announced by the NBA, although Durant is not yet perfect, there are still some who do not know how to do it.
Durant can even be said to be proficient in the "low back fight" just shown.
Because what many people may not know is that Durant actually played inside in college, and most of the time he played center!
Therefore, Smith's suggestion is not to make Durant difficult, but just to let him pick up the things that he previously lost!
Then, the game becomes a battle against each other.
Many fans will say that there is no defense in the small ball era.
This is actually wrong. Before Adam Mosaic relaxes the penalty scale in order to improve the viewing of the game, the game in the small ball era is also very exciting.
In this regard, refer to the historical war of riding and bravery.
The so-called feeling of lack of defense is just a visual sense caused by too much offensive space on the court, and many assisted defenses cannot rotate.
Now both sides are defensively unable to deal with this kind of deadly five play style, the game can easily become a confrontation battle.
Then, the Bulls were directly suppressed by talent...
And just like Yi Jianlian's advantage over Ibaka, the Warriors' advantage over the Bulls also makes the Bulls lack of temper.
After all, the Warriors have the top scorer in history, the top two shooter in history, and a T-mac!
The reason why McGrady was brought here specifically is because McGrady made up for the biggest organization problem of the Warriors' lineup.
In the history of the Warriors, this life belonged to Green, and now it belongs to McGrady.
Some people would say, isn’t there Sun Hao?
This is not the same. The "LeBron system" style of play is very physical, especially in the offensive game.
If Sun Hao wants to score as many points as possible, someone has to help him share the pressure of the organization.
McGrady's greatest value to the Warriors is also reflected in the most critical games.
Looking back at the Bulls, Paul seems to be very tired at this time.
Because he wants to attack the organization and grab it, even Iverson, it is difficult to do both of these things at the same time.
Paul naturally seems to have a feeling of "more than one heart but not enough energy".
In the end, after four quarters of fierce battle, the Warriors defeated the Bulls 126 to 113 and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain!
On the Bulls side, Paul scored 29 points and 12 assists in a large double-double, but he was helpless to join the empty cut.
On the Warriors' side, Sun Hao scored a game-high 46 points. He only needs to focus on scoring, and he feels like killing indiscriminately on the court.
In addition, Durant also has a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds. This power forward is very comfortable.
McGrady also had an outstanding performance of 13 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists.
If he didn't play well in the previous playoffs, then he has completely proved his worth in this game.
3 to 2, winning the key Tianwang Mountain battle, the Warriors' promotion situation suddenly became better.
And the feeling of fans after watching this game is that the lineup of the Warriors G5 is the answer to the old Nelson's tactical system!
And just like Zhang Weiping ridiculed before, the only place they need to improve may be to let Ibaka practice three-pointers!
Losing Tianwang Mountain, the Bulls were driven into desperation.
The good news is that according to the current 2-3-2 finals format, the next game will return to the United Center.
At home, they hope to tie the big score to 3 to 3, and then continue to play tie-breakers at home.
This is also what many Bulls fans expect ~EbookFREE.me~ So in the G6 United Center, the fans performed unprecedented crazy.
Even this kind of madness is out of the ordinary.
In the hotel where the Warriors fans stayed, some Bulls fans made various noises outside the hotel late at night to interfere with the rest of the Warriors players.
Although the fans who made the trouble were taken away by the police, they enjoyed being cheered by other fans in a "heroic" manner.
The interesting thing is that Jordan and his Bulls also encountered similar or even more serious "poisoning incidents."
As a result, it's the Bulls fans' turn to do this kind of thing now.
But this did have some effect. During the G6 game the next day, the Warriors obviously didn't sleep well.
Including Sun Hao, couldn't help but yawn a few times while sitting on the sidelines.
This also made the situation in the finals that were relatively clear and confusing again.
