Chapter 804 Give the ball to Curry(1/2)
In the second quarter, the two sides reached 30:37, and the Warriors slowly chased the gap to only 7 points.
The Thunder plays poorly, not very badly. Li Liang's assists and steals the basket are still quite good.
The score did not stop, and the Warriors did not hit a scoring climax.
But the Warriors gradually eroded the advantages accumulated by the Thunder in the first quarter.
Moreover, the Warriors also did not have the main player, and Curry Thompson and others were sitting off the court.
Only the Warriors in the league have such a thickness, and they will not be at a disadvantage when they compete with the substitute like the Thunder.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Warriors are still accumulating their strength.
So far, Curry has only made two moves.
This is definitely not Curry's normal state, but Cole intentionally.
Keep Curry's energy until it is needed before bursting out.
After Donovan called for a timeout, he replaced Durant and Westbrook in advance, and the three giants joined forces early.
But after the timeout came back, Durant made a mistake.
After cooperating with Li Liang's pick-and-roll, the pass to the ground was too casual and was intercepted by the Warriors.
The Warriors' defensive pick-and-roll are different from other teams.
Other teams usually follow people, while the Warriors are paying great attention to blocking the ball's line while following Rao.
There are three people who are defending Durant and Li Liang to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.
At this time, the Warriors' deep forward advantage was revealed.
Batum Iguodala Barnes is a player with strong defensive external expansion capabilities.
It can be both able to fight and grab, making Thunder's cooperation uncomfortable.
The Warriors' counterattack did not come out, and Livingston sank to the low post and hit Westbrook.
The rolling back jump shot failed, and Li Liang grabbed another backcourt rebound.
Li Liang didn't have three-pointers tonight, but he caught a lot of rebounds.
Seeing that Robertson was about to get off, Li Liang chose a super long pass.
As a result, it suddenly spread. Robertson received the call, but the person almost flew out of the bottom line and could not directly launch an attack.
He had to pass the ball back to Kante.
Kante played a single ball on the back, but he didn't score in half. He turned around and passed the ball again, and the ball flew out of the sideline.
Mistakes.
The Thunder's offensive rhythm is a bit problematic.
The Warriors hindered the Thunder's passing line, making it difficult for the Thunder to cover the running position.
Once the pace is wrong, the offense will feel bad.
As Kanter passed out of bounds, Donovan replaced him and replaced Adams.
Spetz also made a mid-range jump shot from the outside, and Li Liang grabbed another backcourt rebound.
From the beginning of the game, the two sides started to fight and gradually entered a slightly boring stalemate.
The Warriors' main players still haven't made all the appearances. All they have to do to delay the time when they come to the Warriors' second team.
Give Curry Thompson and others more rest time, and don’t let the score difference be further widened in a short period of time.
Cole's heart is also very big. If Li Liang is in better condition tonight, the score difference may be up to 15 points.
Cole realized that Li Liangjin felt bad, so the second team boldly shrank and created Thunder's mistakes.
Sure enough, Li Liang received the ball and made a layup after pick-and-roll cooperation between high posts and Westbrook.
As a result, Spetz stood in front of Li Liang, and the two of them were full of their arms. Spetz fell to the ground and the referee called Li Liang an offensive foul.
Drinking cold water can make your teeth stuffy.
According to the playback of the live video, it can be seen that Speitz's foot was moving, which obviously made him misleadingly
At this time, Klay Thompson replaced Barbosa and returned to the field.
Curry continued to sit and rest on the field.
As soon as Thompson came up, he received the ball and made a three-no-touch cooperation.
Li Liang picked up another rebound.
And the Thunder finally scored a goal.
Westbrook had a very simple single block screen, then he held the ball and entered the free throw line. The zombies made a jump shot and scored two points.
Break the scoring drought on the field.
Then, Iguodala threw another three-pointer from the outside, but it was still not Zheng
Li Liang has another chance to grab rebounds - how many rebounds have you grabbed.
But this time, Westbrook doesn't want to give up anymore, this rebound is mine!
He jumped high and put the rebound into his pocket, and Li Liang also hid for a while.
Then, Westbrook instigated a counterattack and rushed in with his eyes closed.
When neither side tactics can be opened, Westbrook, like Zhang Fei, needs to open up the situation with a reckless spirit.
He forced his way to the basket, and did not make a layup. Zheng
But Adams, who kept up with him, grabbed the rebound and made a tip-in, was still not Zheng
Li Liang rushed up and clicked the ball. Instead of pointing the ball to the basket, he pointed it down and pointed it to Westbrook under the basket.
Westbrook secured the ball, made a light one-handed layup, and hit the ball
Thunder reconstructed its advantage.
But the goal was quite difficult.
30:41, the score difference reached 11 points, and the Warriors seemed to be in a critical situation.
Cole finally called a pause at this time, a short pause, the main purpose was to substitute people.
Curry is about to make his debut again.
...
Curry sat off the court for a long enough time.
Cole hopes he has enough rest time to ensure his efficient and stable fortune.
The shooting feel of an outside player needs to be guaranteed by physical strength, and also needs to be maintained by shooting.
If you play for too long, your confrontation will increase, your physical fitness will decline, and your feel will decline sharply.
If you play for too short, you will sit on the bench for too long, your muscles will become cold and your feel will be lost.
Therefore, in order to enable Curry to achieve his best performance and protect his somewhat fragile body, Kerr has always had good control over his playing time.
11 points behind, which is not a big problem in Cole's opinion.
If Bruce Lee still maintains this lukewarm state on the court, the Warriors don't have to be afraid of the Thunder in this game.
Kerr originally prepared two or three sets of strategies to deal with Li Liang, but found that he didn't seem to be used.
During the short pause, Cole only instilled an idea in the players: "Give the ball to Curry's hands and create a mobile phone opportunity for him!"
For an NBA coach, if you don’t know how to use your superstar well and don’t set up the tactic of “giving the ball to him”, you must not be a good NBA coach.
At least in this era, you are not.
Curry appears after the suspension, with the best condition.
The Thunder's defense did not underestimate Curry, and Robertson made a comeback. At this time, the Thunder was the strongest lineup.
The Warriors sent the sideline ball, and the ball was given to Bogut, who was in the high position.
The Warriors began to run tactics.
Livingston went in after serving the sideline ball, and Thompson, who was originally running to the basket, ran out.
Thunder's three-second zone was involved in a space, Curry ran in, and Westbrook followed in.
But Li Liang immediately reminded Westbrook, "Three-point line! Three-point line!"
Li Liang had already foreseen that Curry was not going inward at all, but was going to pull out.
Sure enough, Curry ran out and Livingston came over to provide him with a cover and pushed Westbrook away.
Curry got an open chance at 45 degrees on the right side, Bogut passed the ball, Curry received the ball and made a three-pointer and hit!
Westbrook was already chasing out desperately, but it was still useless.
Curry's shot was very fast, with a high arc, and he hit a steadily three-pointer.
