Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Green, JaVale McGee

Malcolm Brogdon, Josh Richardson, Jayson Tatum, Young, Joel Embiid

The big screen at Wells Fargo Center completely shattered the smoke bombs that were set off before Monty Williams and Steve Kerr took the court.

"Long time no see, I really miss you."

Wearing knee pads, Kevin Durant ran to the 76ers half court before taking off his training clothes.

"Humph, do you miss the feeling of not being able to guard against me???" Yang, who was already a bit talkative, reacted immediately to such disgusting words.

"Hey, you can't guard me," although what both of them said was true, Durant decided to win a game here first.

Embiid VS McGee

jump ball

It’s not much different from the previous game. It’s still the two centers above who complete the task.

Embiid wins, ball lands near Brogdon

Even the victory was no different, it was exactly the same as the previous one.

Behind McGee, set up a cover

Richardson resisted McGee who had just landed.

Once, twice

Return to the basket

Unlike the last game where Green took on most of the defensive tasks, Durant, who had just returned to the game this time, returned to the three-second zone as soon as McGee was blocked.

high hanging

Even if Durant returned to the basket, Brogdon chose to believe in Embiid

Jump up, straighten your arms and hit

"Pa"

The flying Spalding was knocked out of bounds by Durant

Compared with Green, who is not strong enough or physically fit, Durant, who is tall and has long arms, is more suitable for handling this kind of high-altitude work.

"Jump Ball Rip"

"It's usually thought to be because the sneak alley-oop happened too quickly and the defensive formation wasn't well-arranged."

"Actually this is not a sneak attack, this was planned long ago."

"McGee was screened by Richardson as soon as he landed."

"To ensure success, Richardson blocked twice in a row."

"One of the reasons why Richardson, who is not very good at scoring, is suitable as a starting shooting guard is that he can supplement the starting needs."

"Qiao, the right three-point line is 45 degrees"

"Josh, bottom left corner"

Sent to Embiid

Tatum's passing progress is not great, but the 76ers did not let him do this job and gave him the right to serve from the sideline.

Back to Tatum

From having the ball in his hands to running to the penalty area with no hands, Embiid did his job and did everything he was supposed to do.

When Embiid cuts into the penalty area,

Richardson, who was buried in the left corner on the other side, started to act

Cover Brogdon

Knowing the Golden State Warriors would make a substitution, Richardson still traded Stephen Curry to Brogdon

"Here it comes, Steph." Green, who knew what was going to happen, glanced at Steph Curry who was next to Brogdon.

Change defense in advance

"Bang" was at the same moment when Green helped Curry pick up Brogdon.

Richardson cut out of the penalty area and set up a screen.

"Bang"

take over defense

Unlike McGee who was unprepared, Thompson, who was guarding Richardson, had already completed his reaction.

Takes over Embiid's defense

"Clay, be careful"

Brogdon, hiding near the three-second zone, hung up Klay Thompson just as Green wanted.

Take over Embiid's defense early

Even if there was no vacancy, Embiid still occupied the needed position.

Blocking Green, who has excellent positioning, behind him

Outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left

higher sling

Young, who received the pass from Tatum, waited for Embiid's run in the low post.

Recycling to assist in prevention

Even though Green's help defense is unparalleled, his physical fitness is still obviously difficult when facing Embiid.

Turn towards the baseline and turn over for a jump shot

Facing the Warriors who came to defend him from all directions, Embiid didn't make a single unlucky move, and he didn't waste a second to successfully digest the right shot above Green's head.

hit

Embiid's hit freed the 76ers from having to choose between retreating quickly or grabbing offensive rebounds to control the rhythm.

2:0

Half transition acceleration to bring up the offensive rhythm

The experience the Golden State Warriors gained in Game 1 of the Finals is:

The offensive tempo slows down and leads to more positional battles; the defensive intensity is strengthened and the offensive tempo is accelerated to produce more half transitions and transitions.

The team prefers the latter's pace

"Josh" Embiid, who retreated near the three-second zone, shouted in the direction of Josh Richardson.

double team

Facing Stephen Curry, who was holding the ball past half court, the Philadelphia 76ers used a double attack that was not often used.

“I have to say that Monty Williams’ adjustment was timely.”

“There were too many defensive switches in the last game, which led to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson recovering a lot of points in the second half with singles.”

"In this case, I made a change and joined the pincer attack."

"After all, the most fearful thing about defense is staying the same. Once the opponent catches the pattern, it will be easy to see through it."

"After all, if you switch defenses too much, you will capture mispositions. If you defend too much, you will capture weak points. If you attack too much, you will capture gaps."

Find Green

Play the ball decisively

Although the 76ers don't use double attacks very often, the focus of other teams' double attacks has allowed Stephen Curry to make sufficient progress in his vision and breaking out of double attacks.

Start rotation

Return to your nearest location

The high-speed rotation after a double attack is the most direct manifestation of testing a team's defensive understanding and ability.

wave arms

Cut off passing lanes

Put Green in

Due to the arrival of Kevin Durant, Green's ball-handling offense and long-range shooting

There is an obvious downward trend every year.

Of course, Green's downward trend in offense is not as obvious as Simmons' downward trend in free throw shooting.
