383: Suppression, Anti-Suppression Monthly Pass)
Bogut ate T. Mark Jackson had to replace the Australians and sent the former Rockets player Carl Landry, who just joined the Warriors this summer.
Now, David Lee plays the fifth position and Landry plays the fourth position.
Carl Landry Rockets became famous and averaged 12.5 points per game with the Hornets last season after only 8 appearances.
Landry's offense has nothing to question, but the defense is not very strong. Now the Warriors' inside line has become David. Lee + Landry, both of whom are strong offense and weak defense. The Grizzlies' offensive pressure has instantly been much smaller.
After Bogut left the court, the Warriors' defense felt like they were being beaten back to their original form. Gasol and Randolph shot left and right at the low post and took the lead in an instant, which made the Warriors fans who had been happy for a while became extremely disappointed.
After the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by 6 points 28-22.
From 0-6 to 6 points ahead, the Grizzlies explained with their practical actions what stability is so desperate.
Link scored 5 points in the first quarter, but the Grizzlies team blossomed more. The Black and White Bears, Conley and Iguodala all showed good scoring data. Mark Jackson's defensive strategy, which mainly blocked Link, completely collapsed.
As it turns out, now this Grizzlies, if you let others attack, they can really kill the game.
The Warriors only played a good ball for a few rounds in the first quarter and were completely suppressed. But Mark Jackson did not give up. Curry made 2 of 2 three-pointers in the first quarter, with a total shooting percentage of 62.5%, and 12 points in a single quarter!
At least there is no problem with the Warriors' offense. If you can't defend, Mark Jackson can still compete with the Grizzlies!
Curry was in good shape today and had a complete rebound compared to the previous game. Therefore, Mark Jackson reminded Curry, "Continue to take decisive actions in the second quarter! Use more covers to run out of opportunities! We are only 6 points behind, so it is not fearful! Use offense to suppress them!"
Curry nodded firmly. His offensive form was indeed very good in the first quarter. In the second quarter, he would continue to threaten the Grizzlies with his own shooting.
The battle to rectify the reputation of a career cannot be easily ended!
Stevens also had a headache for Curry. Is Conley not doing well? No, Conley's defense is simply textbook-level.
But Curry can make a shot under tight defense today, and Stevens really has no choice. Let Iguodala, Link or Tony Allen defend Curry? The effect may not be better than Conley, because Conley can at least keep up with Curry's speed. These forwards are at a disadvantage in terms of speed.
So, Stevens intends to solve the problem from another perspective. Since the defense cannot completely solve Curry, then compare the offensive stability with him!
"Link, remember, if Curry hits three-pointers in a row, I need you to respond immediately! Because if he scores consecutive goals and we can't score, the gap will be widened soon! So, if you allocate your strength, you have to go up with Curry at any time!"
Link nodded excitedly and had a squad with Curry? It was exciting!
The second quarter started with the good intentions of the head coaches of both sides.
Curry knew that he had to be more active now, falling behind by 6 points, saying that he was not big or small.
A mistake may allow the opponent to widen the score difference to double digits. But if you work hard, you may be able to equalize the score in two or three rounds!
In the second quarter, the Grizzlies attacked first. Bogut had returned to the court at this time. His face was full of dark lines and he was still angry about what had just happened.
After eating a T-t, Bogut must pay attention to his actions on the defensive end. If he is caught and eats a T-t, he will be directly over.
But even so, Bogut showed his role. In the second quarter, the Grizzlies' first offense, and Gasol Jr.'s singles were defended by Bogut.
After Bogut ended in the first quarter, Gasol had to eat and drink at the low post. But now, the absolute advantage of the low post has disappeared.
"Opportunity!" Mark Jackson shouted in his heart. The next second, Curry received a pass from Bogut and quickly advanced through half the game!
Kang Li was afraid that Curry wanted to break through in the counterattack, so he contracted into the three-point line. However, Curry suddenly stopped and jumped in from two steps outside the three-point line!
"So far away!" The commentators were shocked. If the ball didn't go in, Curry would have taken the blame!
However, Curry's shooting was as accurate as a long-range missile! Although he was two steps away from the three-point line, he still fell into the net hollow!
This guy has a very long range!
All the fans in the Oracle Arena stood up! 3 of 3 three-pointers was made, and Curry scored the 15th point of the game at the beginning of the second quarter!
"Mike Conley would never have thought that Curry could score a goal in this situation! It was only 3 points away. The Warriors played very tenaciously under Curry's leadership today!"
Link curled his lips, but he didn't expect that he would get into the topic so soon!
A few seconds later, the Grizzlies counterattacked. The Warriors players were still guarding against their penalty area and the black and white bears. But Link had already got the ball and leaned against Barnes.
He wants to play singles behind his back!
"Link plays Harrison Barnes with his back, and the Grizzlies pull the lineup away, and the Warriors cannot double-team!"
Stevens stood on the sidelines seriously. Indeed, he advocated team attacks. But at critical moments, having an offensive center of gravity is more efficient than not having an offensive center of gravity.
If anyone else came to try it, Curry would sooner or later be thrown to death. Link now has to shoulder the heavy responsibility and lead the Grizzlies through the period when Curry's offensive firepower could not be contained.
Barnes' defense was very good when he was in college, but entering the NBA can only be considered average. He won't drag his feet, but don't expect him to make great achievements.
Facing a little rookie, Link easily shook his shoulder and fired Barnes away.
After shaking Barnes, Link took a step from him and gently picked the basket and took the ball. The difference became 5 points, and the Warriors' hope of equalizing the score was temporarily shattered.
After scoring the goal, Link did not celebrate, but whispered a few words to Conley.
Conley nodded. When Curry held the ball again in the next round, he found that he had no room to get.
Conley's defensive strategy is now very extreme. I would rather let you break through than let you shoot!
Curry used the trick, and immediately accelerated to attack the basket after taking cover. But as soon as he took two steps, he met Link who came to defend.
Curry was not stupid, so he hurried to look for Barnes! But after looking closely, he found that Barnes had been prevented by Iguodala. And what about Thompson? Sorry, Conley made up for it!
"Perfect defense!" The commentator couldn't help but shout. From the coach's strategy to the player's execution, the Grizzlies' defense is perfect!
The three of them completed the defense change, and there was no flaw.
There was no choice but to stop and jump shot from the middle distance under Link's nose.
Link's defensive height is much better than Conley. If he covers Curry like this, it will be difficult for Curry to score even if he is so good!
"Bang!" Curry made a mid-range shot, and the Warriors were just starting to attack when they were cut off by the Grizzlies!
Stevens secretly punched himself, attacking and defending at one time, and Link suppressed Curry's momentum.
Sure enough, let the stars solve the problems between the stars!
After Curry made a blow, Link continued to attack with the ball. Barnes was ready to take Link this time, and he also told himself in his heart that he would not be deceived by Link's fake back movements anymore.
However, Link didn't play with him this time. He took Gasol's cover and entered the three-point line. Seeing this, Bogut immediately changed defense!
But Link did not force Bogut to take Bogut, but instead stopped a cross-step and caught Bogut off guard.
Bogut is good at defending the penalty area, and you can indeed effectively protect the basket. But Bogut is not well-versed in defense from the outside.
"Brush!" A wonderful voice sounded again, and Link rarely missed his killer move!
The difference became 7 points, and everything went back! Curry wanted to stand up, but he found that No. 0 didn't give him a chance.
It was as if Curry had just climbed the cliff and was kicked down by Link.
Kill Bogut, it's Curry's turn now!
Mark Jackson's plan to gain the lead with Curry's wave of flowing is ruined by Link. In the third grade, he has become the Grizzlies' stabilizing needle!
Now, the Warriors must fight the Grizzlies one round and one round.
But Jackson sighed, the team is not mature enough.
Chapter completed!
