Malcolm Brogdon, Fred VanVleet, Jayson Tatum, Young, Embiid

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Green, Kevin Durant

The big screen at the Wells Fargo Center showed the starting lineups of the two teams' G7, which was also the last starting lineup of the 2017-18 season.

…………

…………

Nod gently and enlarge your smile

Seeing Jian gesturing towards him not far away, Yang also responded happily.

When the players from both teams started walking towards the middle of the court, four or five rows behind Jane, a figure wearing purple clothes and a purple hat finally found his seat.

Too low to be stuck

Unlike other fans, this woman in purple clothes had her hat stuck until she could only see a line of sight as soon as she took her seat.

Of course, only the fans around her discovered this situation

jump ball

There is no center in the starting lineup, and the Warriors’ chosen candidate for the jump ball is Durant.

The 76ers have not changed. They still let Embiid jump the ball instead of imitating the Warriors and making changes.

Durant wins

In the three games in which Durant served as the opening jump ball player, Durant led this game to two wins.

Once it was G6, once it was G7

Keep clinging to Stephen Curry

VanVleet took over as the starting No. 2 position, and the changes brought to the original starting lineup are:

Fills the role that was not in the original lineup and is best suited to guard Stephen Curry:

The stocky type will tangle with sticky defensive backs.

Every moment of closeness and consumption,

Force Curry to take more steps

Since VanVleet's playing time limit soared, he has shouldered the heaviest defensive duties.

Kevin Durant takes over the waist position

Unlike G6, which barely took care of Durant, Young took over Durant's defender at the beginning of G7, freeing Tatum from the heavy pressure on the defensive end.

Brogdon defends Klay Thompson, Tatum defends Iguodala, and Embiid defends Green.

Other defensive matchups have not changed and are still implemented according to the layout set by G6.

high screen

The Golden State Warriors went uncharacteristically and directly asked Curry to initiate a pick-and-roll.

{Sorry, this situation is not easy to solve.}

Let the stubborn and conservative Steve Kerr give up his favorite passing and cutting, and start playing pick-and-rolls that he doesn't like.

This must have made him feel a great sense of crisis

block the ball

In order to prevent Durant from responding, Young also entangled himself with Durant.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable being stuck together?" Also different from the past, this time it was Durant who started chattering.

"It's not uncomfortable, since other people are so attached to my running anyway, I'm used to it." You have to be shameless if you keep chattering back, otherwise you may not be able to take advantage.

refuse cover

Stephen Curry did not go in the direction of Green's screen, but in the other direction of the screen.

"Andre, haven't you stuck with him in training?" Young, who followed Durant to Iguodala's side, suddenly started the topic.

Brake and run towards the top of the arc

Durant changed his running trajectory without the ball

Looking at Iguodala running towards the elbow area, which is on both sides of the free throw line, at the same moment

go around

Young's run around the screen begins before Iguodala sets it.

adapt to changing circumstances

Iguodala gave up the screen plan because he found Green who received the pass from Curry and found a suitable opportunity.

Embiid, who "watches the corners" and controls the overall defense, naturally knows the tactics of the Golden State Warriors.

Throw away Iguodala

throw away green

Tatum threw away Iguodala first, and Embiid immediately retracted below the free throw line.

Ready to support Tatum who switches to Curry

Distracted towards the basket

Embiid couldn't see the basket and Iguodala started to walk towards the basket, so Yang had to take care of him.

Take action by force

Facing the huge open space, Green did not take a shot, but passed it to Curry in the corner who was interfered by Tatum and Embiid.

clang

Stephen Curry's three-point shooting is unparalleled in the world, but he can't withstand the interference of such coverage.

Small moves

VanVleet, who came to switch defense, secretly restricted Green's movement.

Brogdon also reacted, trying his best to push Iguodala away from the rebound spot.

Got the rebound,

It was not difficult at all for Young to trap Durant, who was barely proficient in rebounding, behind him.

Slow down and wait for Embiid to pass halftime

Protect rebounds, don't push fast breaks

This is a key point arranged by the Philadelphia 76ers in this field

cover

Use the screen to save Embiid, who is running without the ball, from spending energy in getting stuck in the low post.

The card position with bold eyes:

Intentions will be judged in advance, leading to bypassing and offensive fouls.

Will affect the quality of the next shot close to the basket

The consumption of the card slot + the consumption of the gouge is far greater than the consumption of the gouge.

Less consumption means more success.

This is the low-post philosophy that Young has been emphasizing to Embiid.

high hanging

Iguodala did not interfere with the lob pass

Gouge

After getting the ball, Embiid launched a chisel attack to get closer to the basket.

took a step back

Embiid's weight and strength are obviously not something Durant can compete with at his level.

So, Green's flanking attack is coming

The Golden State Warriors are aware of Embiid’s short-pass vision and high turnover rate on long passes.

Take action

Embiid found that both Green and Thompson were approaching him. The probability of the pass being intercepted was too high, so he had no choice but to take action.

clang

Unlike Stephen Curry, who was interfered by multiple people, Embiid, who was only interfered by one person, also did not make the team's first attack.

rebound produced

{Durant is reluctant to get stuck} Even without the materials prepared by the chief assistant coach, Young can judge his bad habits from his body language.
