The Warriors called the timeout a little early to enter the official timeout, and this detail was used very well.

When you hear the whistle of the official pause, players who are used to being replaced during the official pause in the first quarter will feel that "it's time for me to rest", and then they will relax slightly in their physiological aspects.

Although the Grizzlies did not necessarily do this in every game during the official first quarter suspension of rotation, they did this most of the time.

Like Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Richard Jefferson, they have more or less psychological and physiological habits.

The Warriors, who was only one point behind even if Sun Ce made both free throws, was only three points behind. It was suggested by the Warriors' new assistant coach Alvin Gentry, and the purpose was for this.

They were not obviously behind. Even if Sun Ce made both free throws, they had the opportunity to tie the score with one three-pointer, but they just called a timeout in advance.

If the Grizzlies rotate now, they can face the Grizzlies lineup for a period of less time, even for a minute or two, it is very important.

If the Grizzlies don't rotate, it's better if they are lucky and really disrupt the Grizzlies' offensive rhythm.

Even if there is no effect at all, it will not be a loss to enter the official timeout in advance. The official timeout is always required, and they can also make adjustments to the defensive end.

Coach Hollins is not very understanding about the other party's active call for timeouts. He always feels that there is something wrong and has to speculate, but there is no big problem.

However, the starting stage did not show obvious advantages, which is a troublesome thing. The opponent's combination is indeed powerful. The wild record of 22 wins and 6 losses after the All-Star weekend has allowed the Warriors to obtain both the proficiency and confidence of the Warriors in terms of cooperation.

A huge improvement.

The key is the lineup!

Coach Hollins originally wanted to use the inside combination of Amir Johnson and Larry Sanders in the regular season to replace it with a defensive lineup. The opponent will definitely be one big and four small next time, the opponent's substitute power forward and Clay

- Thompson is as tall as a small player in their Grizzlies' eyes.

The Warriors' rotation is rigid. Mark Jackson is not a coach who dares to take risks, but he is coach Hollins!

...

After the timeout, Harden rested first with the Warriors, Curry, Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, Drummond Green, and Jermaine O'Neal.

Mark Jackson, as Coach Hollins expected, was definitely a regular rotation.

But what Mark Jackson didn't expect was that the Grizzlies replaced Whiteside, who was beaten by a pick-and-roll in the last regular season fight! And Yi Jianlian didn't do it!

Sun Ce, Beverly, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian and Whiteside came on the court!

Sun Ce walked onto the free throw line, and the first hook was hooked, and the second hook was hooked!

However, when Whiteside was blocked by O'Neal Jr., before Drummond and Harrison Barnes, he relied on his height and wingspan to hit the ball first, and bounced into the ball to the rebound.

Basketball!

The Warriors feel crazy about this offensive rebounding advantage. Since Rodman, there has never been a player like Whiteside. The offensive rebounding is too fierce! Reggie Evans, Jordan Jr., De

Ramond, Adams, and Stoudemire are all inferior in offensive rebounding masters.

And Whiteside has a height advantage that Rodman does not have, and it is a serious 213-centimeter big center.

16-13, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by 3 points.

Warriors attacked, Iguodala remembered the last match between Whiteside when she saw Whiteside. Curry used pick-and-roll to attract pincer attacks. Although Curry didn't score much in his personal score, he helped Green get 9 assists in a single game. After halfway through

Leave the ball to Curry and continue to open up the space to prepare for cutting or receiving the ball to shoot.

Iguodala doesn't care about data. She got a four-year contract and let herself go directly, and she lost 10 points per game.

Curry looks for O'Neal Jr. to pick-and-roll!

O'Neal's pick-and-roll is very solid. People remember Garnett, Rashid Wallace, Duncan, and Boozer's pick-and-roll are good, but it is easy to ignore the Auburn Hill Palace incident and was selected as the best three times in four years.

O'Neal, the lineup.

This is an all-around center with a pick-and-roll down, a catch-and-shoot, a mid-range frame and even a low-post back. In 2003-04, I won the best of the month twice in one season and almost snatched Garnett's

mvp.

O'Neal is no longer as brave as he was back then. He is 35 years old, but his pick-and-roll cooperation with Curry or Harden is still very good, averaging 8.8 points, 5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 blocks per game this season.

The last time they faced Whiteside, O'Neal Jr.'s pick-and-roll cooperation between Curry and played the Grizzlies very hard.

But after Curry and O'Neal Jr. picked and rolled, Beverly and expanded Yi Jianlian directly attacked Curry!

Curry was about to find O'Neal, but found that Sun Ce directly pulled in from the left side line to make up for the defense O'Neal! At this time, Curry wanted to run to Iguodala at the 45-degree angle on the left, but was both Beverly and Yi Jianlian.

With a pinch, a long pass at this angle is likely to be stolen, and only Drummond Green on the left bottom line has a gap.

Curry quickly passed by, and Drummond Green received the ball and stepped into the inside to run and shoot... Before the ball was about to reach the highest point, Whiteside, who rushed over, grabbed the ball with a cover and snatch!

Coach Hollins secretly called "Oye" on the sidelines.

Temporary array change, at least the first defense is very effective!

Curry is a first-class passer, but it is obviously different from the top. Giving him absolute ball rights, he can get 8+ assists per game, but in that case, the Warriors' record will definitely not be very good, and their strength will not be

How strong is he? He is a double-energy guard with comprehensive and comprehensive shooting at the back line.

Like Sun Ce who passes the ball most often observes that two teammates can take care of up to three or even pay attention to the overall situation. Curry, like other ball holders who have first-class pass awareness and accurate passes, has obvious "choice" for passing the ball.

", the first thing to do is to see teammates have a chance.

This is the second biggest gap between Curry and Sun Ce in organizational offense, and the first big one is the gap in vision.

Like Iguodala and Harden, you can observe more teammates, but Curry found that the first pass target was repaired and then went to find other teammates who were emptied. Although it may be only a 1 second or even 0.5 seconds time difference.

But even if the Grizzlies' defense has declined this season, they will switch defenses from the outside and make up for defense, forcing Curry to pass to Drummond Green.

Drummond Green, who averaged only 40% of his shooting percentage this season, entered the basket and was directly caught by Whiteside.

Drummond Green, who was caught in the hat, pressed up and tried to steal. He was obviously angry and moved very much. Whiteside has a much better personality now, but his temper is still there. Drummond punches him and swings them directly.

The elbow is over!

Drummond Green is taking advantage of Randolph's courage and becoming wild. Who knew that Whiteside was more reckless than him, and the two immediately entangled.

The referee reacted quickly and immediately went up to separate the two and stopped the other players around.

Iguodala hugged Whiteside and pulled Whiteside away, and Drummond Green had been pulled away by Curry.

Iguodala has always been good at being a human being. He went up and regarded Whitesided's behavior as a fight by the referee. The referee would not think about that at all.

Whiteside and Drummond Green each took a technical foul, offsetting it, without free throws.

In fact, the referee was about to blow the whistle when Drummond Green punched Whiteside. He noticed Drummond Green's small moves, but Whiteside's reaction was too intense.

Fortunately, the two players who had conflicts were not considered stars, and the Grizzlies were home court, so the referee did not send off Whiteside, who was swinging the elbow. If Drummond Green had not been able to avoid it quickly

, and went straight to his eyes.

Whiteside, who calmed down, was a little scared, but when he saw Sun Ce coming up and laughing and punching him in the chest, Whiteside was no longer afraid. He was worried that his uncalculating behavior would be blamed by his teammates and coaching staff, but

Sun Ce’s actions were obviously not to blame, but to appreciate them!

After the short middle of the game, continue.

The Grizzlies continued to attack, and Beverly received a serve and advanced towards the frontcourt.

The conflict just now has become manic! The Grizzlies fans were very afraid of the rising Warriors, and now they are even more upset!

Obviously, Drummond Green made a small move just now, almost causing the treasure center they dug out to be sent off. Now the Grizzlies fans are already hating Drummond Green, an unknown 12-time rookie.

Beverly arrived at the frontcourt and encountered Harrison Barnes' defense. Sun Ce went up to help Beverly block Harrison Barnes, and Beverly took the opportunity to break through!

After Sun Ce picked and rolled, he pulled to the right side. Harrison Barnes and Iguodala made up for Sun Ce who pulled away. Beverly made a move in the free throw line without defense...

Failed!

But Whiteside grabbed an offensive rebound on O'Neal Jr. and Drummond Green!

Whiteside, who won the offensive rebound, had a strange vision of passing the ball, which was completely different from the fact that he could find someone half a day after grabbing the defensive rebound. He immediately passed it to Beverly.

At this time, Harrison Barnes and Iguodala, who took back to help protect the rebound, both rushed towards Beverly. Beverly passed the ball to Sun Ce who ran to the right side of the top arc, and Sun Ce received the ball with three points in an open space.

Take action...

Enter!

This is the most accurate point of Sun Ce, and his open shots are extremely high!

This wave of offense and defense perfectly performed a defensive strategy that Coach Hollins had thought about before!

There are many defects in this defensive method, and it is a defect that is tied up one by one. Therefore, it was not regarded as a tactic by coach Hollins, and he has not even practiced in training, but it should be simple, just go to the outside line

Joint defense, pinch attack, and change defense, and ignore the basket at all.

He pointed at Whiteside at the basket to defend, and it might even be necessary to let Whiteside defend one and two at the basket, one man defending the opponent and two people cutting in.

But once Whiteside defends the basket, the Grizzlies can defend very well without the wave combination being on the court at the same time!

Whiteside, who was angry with Drummond Green's small moves, made his first appearance on the playoff stage and immediately broke out!

Whiteside held the basket well, and even once faced Drummond Green and Harrison Barnes, who cut in, interfered with their layups twice in a row, although they could defend well.

The first time he defended the rebound, there was no block, but Whiteside defended the basket too hard!

While playing, the Warriors were forced to float on the outside to shoot. The Grizzlies directly defended the mid-range and long-range shot from the outside, and Drummond Green, who could only score 0.7 goals per game outside the three-second zone.

He was directly released and he didn't step on the shit tonight. He threw twice but failed to enter, and his teammates didn't pass it to him.

Coach Hollins caught the Warriors off guard in this wave of operation. In more than 5 minutes, the Warriors only scored 10 points!
