One Guard - Chapter 768
Chapter 761 : Death 5 minors and 1 big 4 minors
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks and tied the series to a 1-1 draw. In any series, such things are extremely common. Because the playoffs are such a cruel battlefield, victory or defeat is commonplace.
However, in this series, the Warriors’ victory has surprised countless people.
The Mavericks’ defense that made all teams in the league frightened, actually knocked down the Warriors’ unreasonable lineup. Unbelievable, this is how the Warriors’ victory brings everyone.
“This is an incredible victory. The Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks with their five small lineup! They won, and the Warriors won the game in the end! Stephen Curry became the first player to be able to play this season. Take away the victorious person from the American Airlines Center Arena in the playoffs!” Kevin Harlan looked at the court in disbelief. On the field, the Mavericks players have walked back to the player channel, and only the Warriors players are left. Still celebrating on the court.
To conquer the American Airlines Center Arena, few people can do it this season. The home of the Mavericks has become a veritable home of the Devil, but the Warriors, they broke the curse!
The victory of this game was not only a victory, but also changed the entire basketball world. It turns out that the small lineup can be extreme to this extent! It turns out that no one on the field is taller than 2.03 meters and can win the game. It turns out that by doing so, you can defeat the incredible Dallas Mavericks!
The rules of the sport of basketball are changing. In this era of withered centers, the Warriors have directly played the role of small men to the extreme.
After the game, Steve Cole became a sweet pastry in the eyes of reporters. This bold coach used a tactic that had never been used before, and defeated a formidable enemy that had never been able to shake.
“This is an incredible game. I think we can continue this state at home.” After the game, even Curry himself claimed that this game was “incredible.” Relying on pure offense to obliterate the Mavericks, other people may not even dare to even think about it!
At the press conference after the game, all the reporters also wanted to hear, Yiyang and Carlisle, the two ghosts, had any attitudes towards this defeat. Yiyang is still expressionless, you can’t tell whether his mood is good or bad. But Carlisle’s relaxed look made the reporters very puzzled.
“Coach Carlisle, what do you think of the Mavericks losing to the Golden State Warriors by one point today, and the total score was equalized by the other side?” Carlisle instantly became the reporter’s primary goal.
“What? We were the ones who lost today? Damn! Did I put the score upside down!?”
The reporters were stunned when they heard Carlisle’s answer. What is this? Is it the biggest oolong in history?
Carlisle smiled satisfied after seeing the surprised expressions of the reporters. Carlisle made no secret that he was a Popovich fan. He liked everything about Popovich, including the old guy’s “sense of humor” that drove reporters crazy.
“It’s just a joke, otherwise I really don’t know how to answer your question, how to look? How can I see it! Clean up the crying face, victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers, here is the NBA!”
Carlisle has dealt with reporters, but in fact, this is not his true view of this defeat.
The next day after the game, the Warriors became popular all over the world. As the first team this season to allow the invincible 74-win Mavericks to lose, they are gaining momentum. Countless acquaintances are looking forward to it, hoping that the Warriors can create miracles and reverse the Mavericks’ dominance of the league.
If the Mavericks had 74 wins in the regular season, they couldn’t win the championship in the end. Then, they will become the biggest joke in the world!
Ke Yiyang and Carlisle, the true souls of the Mavericks, did not give up on themselves. The Warriors’ five small lineups are indeed terrifying, but in Carlisle’s view, Cole’s lineup is not impossible to crack. Yes, maybe the other 28 teams can’t crack it, but Carlisle can!
So two hours before the start of training the next day, Carlisle called Shang Yiyang and Armstrong to his office. The purpose of these three guys is very clear, repeat watching the video of the Warriors using the five small lineups, and discuss a feasible response plan!
“Actually, I had some ideas for the approximate plan yesterday. Today, let’s discuss whether it will work or not.” Carlisle said, and began to play the game video prepared by the video analyst for him. And this is why Carlisle is not depressed after losing yesterday.
This is the case in the playoffs. Losing a game and winning a game do not mean the end. After losing, don’t blame others, think about how to solve the problem, that is the way for men to stand.
Yiyang’s eyes were fixed on the video. This game was the first time the Warriors used a five-small lineup this season against the Grizzlies.
“You need a ball-handler, a shooter, someone who can kill in the low post, and someone to defend,” Carlisle explained while watching. “When you have three or four of these players, you can make a set. Excellent small lineup. Small lineup requires players’ physical and technical advantages to complement each other, and use strength to make up for their height disadvantages. There must also be a chemical reaction. You know what your teammates will do next, and you know how your teammates will do. When to cut in.”
Seeing the cooperation of the five small Warriors on the court, they did. But with this kind of chemical reaction, the Mavericks are not far behind. Even if Yiyang closes his eyes, he can find Wade’s position on the court.
On the court, the Warriors’ speed and space made the defensive advantages of the “black and white bears” nowhere to play. To be honest, in Randolph and Gasol, Yiyang seemed to see the shadow of Gobert and Nowitzki yesterday.
On the defensive end, the Warriors adopt a form of assisted defense + single defense, which makes it difficult for the Grizzlies. Especially for Randolph, the fact that Barnes can guard Randolph is not only because he is really powerful, but also because the rest of the Warriors will double-team from time to time. But the mobility of the small lineup allows them to quickly make up for defense after double-teaming.
It didn’t take long before the video of the Warriors and the Grizzlies was over. Because only intercepted the part of the death fifth minor playing, so the time is not long.
“When the Grizzlies staggered out of Oracle Arena, they were still looking for a way to win the game. But the Grizzlies had to face the cruel fact that they didn’t have a lineup that could fight the Warriors at all! Curry and Thompson The three-pointers, the height of a defender like Livingston, the strength of Barnes and Green… these players are not found everywhere. It turns out that the traditional lineup cannot deal with the death five, and the gray The Bears are an extremely traditional team that relies on tall inside offense and defense to lead the game. But we are not the same, we can put together a lineup with five small recruits to fight against it!”
After Carlisle finished speaking, Yiyang and Armstrong both cast surprised eyes at him.
“I play at the first position, Dwyane at the second position, Tony as the small forward, and Iguodala as the power forward. What about the center? It’s impossible for Aminu to play the center!” Yiyang shook his head. Drummond Green is unique in the entire league, so no one in this league can replicate the success of the Warriors’ five small lineups.
“Of course it is Rudy. His mobility can adapt to such a rhythm of offense and defense. The reason why he was helpless in the last game was because he was completely unprepared! We don’t have to follow the Warriors’ path and play fast. Under the circumstances, there is still an inside barrier. This is definitely the perfect control for the Warriors!” Carlisle’s formation is very bold, big and four small, which is not uncommon in the league. But Carlisle’s major and fourth minors have the strongest offensive ability under the circumstance of stable defense. The offensive and defensive ends are very balanced, everyone can quickly change defense, almost no shortcomings. In this way, it happens to be able to restrain Kohl’s unique “Death Five”!
Because these guys under Carlisle are also “wonderful”.
Not all head coaches are as open as Cole and Carlisle. They dare to challenge different rules. As long as you can win, no one cares whether you play five centers or five guards.
“Today are we going to practice this lineup?” Yiyang looked at the video on the screen and geared up.
“Yes, in the next game, we will also go to the home court of the Warriors and give them a **** surprise!”
Carlisle took a sip of coffee and rubbed his dark circles under his eyes. In order to deal with Cole, he did not study the game video last night.
Cole may not have thought of killing him. In this league, there are people who can find the five small lineups to deal with death overnight.
Yiyang looked at Curry and Tony Allen to fix the five weaknesses of Clay and Livingston. It should be no problem to hand over to Wade. Iguodala will teach Barnes well. And Green faces Gobert, don’t even think about passing it easily!
Maybe the Mavericks can also make three consecutive cities like the Warriors in the previous round, and then advance to the high-profile level?
But before leading the team to kick the Warriors’ ass, Carlisle needs to rest on his desk for an hour. After all, he doesn’t want to be the first head coach in NBA history to die suddenly because of his work.
