"Writing articles and writing articles, I have already fished two days ago. I can't be with pigeons today. The finals will start tomorrow."

"X"

Press the end alarm clock set for himself, and the fluffy and messy man turned off the gunfight game that he was addicted to when there was no match day.

Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors

I met in the finals for two consecutive years, and there are the same places as last year and different places from last year.

Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers suffered a knee injury in the G1 last year, and this year, the Golden State Warriors' Kevin Durant found a shoulder injury in the MRI after the G7 in the Western Conference Finals.

According to reporters, it can be confirmed that Kevin Durant will not play in G1. Since the Golden State Warriors play away first, once they win G1, Kevin Durant can wait until G3 returns to home.

Before discussing the possibility of changing in which direction the two teams are targeting and counter-targeting, we must first determine:

1: The Golden State Warriors' time gap after Durant is injured

Whether Iguodala can be on the starting lineup is the only question that the Golden State Warriors have confirmed when the other four players have already made it clear.

Given that the opponent's starting small forward Jason Tatum rose to 18.6 points and 6.6 rebounds in the first three rounds of the playoffs, with a 41% three-point shooting percentage, and scored 2.6 three-pointers, and he also resisted his own ball when the ball was gone.

It is unlikely that Steve Cole will put the third-team Knick Young or Patrick McCaw in the starting small forward as usual.

However, it is certain that

Even if Iguodala serves as the starting small forward, Kevin Durant has left a gap in time

Steve Coldo doesn't solve it by shortening the rotation

When the combat power cannot be guaranteed, Cole will focus more on multiple functional aspects.

Use high-level support to help, rebounds, mid-range shots, franchise protection and other people to play as needed.

It was confirmed that Durant's influence and functionality were compensated by long rotations.

Before talking about counter-attacks,

Next, let’s talk about the offensive and defensive systems of the two teams

Golden State Warriors Attack

The Golden State Warriors' offensive system can be described in three sentences:

Block out opportunities for players who run without the ball at the right time.

At Shuihua Du pulled the defensive force out to the three-point line, and cut into the basket space that was pulled open at the right time at the middle distance.

At the right time, for cutting in and cutting out teammates, pass out looking for their passes.

Golden State Warriors

After Kevin Durant joined the 16-17 season, the Golden State Warriors lost their reserves for long-term frame protection, which made the team's defensive system more transform into a small lineup of maneuvering recovery, replacing defense and delaying obstacles.

This change is in line with the single functional trend caused by the team's center's lack of money.

But it also caused

It is not easy to defend the impact of breakthrough players on the basket and easily create a foul crisis on the front line.

It is not easy to defend the single player and ignore the defensive environment and formation to force points

It is not easy to defend the large size and independent offensive ability. The center is rampant and destructive to the basket and rebounds.

The Capela they encountered in the Western Conference Finals was because they could only shoot in the dessert area near the basket;

The Warriors discovered the problem and pushed him out of the penalty area

Without independent attack, he completely became a black hole player who blocked offensive space from mid to close range.

Philadelphia 76ers guard

In the same 16-17 season, Embiid returned after two years of injury

The core of the 76ers' defensive system has also been transferred to Embiid

Because he is in the penalty area to deter breakthrough players, the other four people have clear division of labor on the defensive end.

Josh Richardson, the best attacker on the opponent's back line, if he can't hold on, let him go in as much as possible, and he won't give him a three-pointer chance easily

Brogden, a defender with poor attack on the opponent, can defend one if both of the opponent's defenders have strong attack power.

The 76ers did not allow him to defend the strongest attacker because he was the only one who could do it on the back line.

Remember teammates, if you have teammates in your vision, you can also find your teammate’s defender

Tatum, unless it cannot be solved, Tatum is generally the first defender on the front line.

Young, when Embiid was transferred out, he needed to go back to the brigade protection first, and when Embiid could not collect rebounds, he needed to make sure that the frontcourt rebounds would not be generated.

Of course, when facing the most powerful players in the ball, he has to look at the opponent's most commonly used pick-and-roll ball holder.

Liberate Embiid to guard the worst shooter

Let him avoid being targeted with unlimited shots

Philadelphia 76ers attack

Embiid takes the responsibility of disrupting the opponent's inside defense, forcing the attacking team to feed the shooters on the outside with space that can be projected. When 5 out is needed, it can also serve as half a space for the breakthrough hand.

Brogden takes on short distance transfers, feeds Embiid and connects the weak side when Young and Embiid is pinched

Not just the organization, when Brogdon needs to hit a three-pointer, he can also hit it

Tatum took on the fixed-point three-pointer to open up the space, and some of Richardson's empty cuts to the basket, and effective supplements when not in the ball: hand hand

Richardson's offensive end was more empty-cutting baskets and a small number of three-pointers. After all, his three-pointers were the worst in the starting five-man team of the 76ers.

There are also some hand-handed "discount" to Tatum and Young, which are used to deceive opponents to ensure that they will not be easily noticed when cutting the basket at a blank space.

Young's job is to use the ball-free running on the outside to tear the defense line, reducing the possibility of being double-teamed.

When the opportunity cannot be reached, he needs to bear the final move of this round

There is also a cover work that superstars rarely do. After all, except Embiid, he is the only one of the cover walls in the team.

And the chance to chase three-pointers in the fast break.

Finally, when he is required to hold the ball, he will also resist the ball.

The offensive and defensive system of the two teams led to the first showdown that can be counterattacked.

Stephen Curry's three-pointer target for the center defending the defensive system at the basket and Embiid's destruction of the unlimited defensive system near the basket

If not watching both teams in the East and

A journey to the west

It's hard to believe what Golden State Warriors Embiid can do except double-team when he's sabotaging his low post

It is also hard to believe that the Philadelphia 76ers who have been playing Embiid for a long time can solve the problem of the historical three-pointer Curry's three-pointer without the ball and three-pointer with the ball.

but

After returning from the medial collateral ligament strain, Curry's three-pointers fluctuated greatly, with both superb performances of 7 of 14 and low three-point shooting percentages of 1, 9 of 1, and 311 of 1.

Unlike Curry who was affected by injuries, Embiid was affected by a large-sized + disciplined large-center defense system.

In the first round of the Heat game, Young took the shooter group to remove the Heat's center, but Embiid's efficiency was not outstanding. Although he could score 1.03 points per round at the low post, his shooting percentage was not outstanding and was only 44.9%.

In the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics, Stevens relied on the harassment of Horford's top defense and forward linebacker group, allowing Embiid to only score 0.94 points per round without Young's help, and his shooting percentage was in the next level, with only 41.8%.

And he won two series games

certainly

Before the two teams officially met each other, all the drills in the East (Western) were simulations

Stephen Curry's three-point form will not be very poor all the time, and will sooner or later return to normal levels.

After Pachuria confirmed its season reimbursement at the end of the regular season, the disciplined Golden State Warriors could not produce a large tonnage center of the Celtics Horford type to deal with Embiid's offense.
