Chapter 153 Infinite Defense Swap(2/2)
Seeing this, Ibaka could only follow and defend. He didn't dare to bet on whether Tolliver could continue to make three-pointers.
At the same time, other Warriors players also brought their defenders to the outside, emptying the Thunder's penalty area.
After everything was ready, Sun Yi immediately started, changed direction and broke through to the right.
Collison is a heavy insider, weighing 116 kilograms. It is destined that his lateral speed is not very fast, and Sun Yi can pass him in one step.
Upon seeing this, other Thunder players immediately rushed back to the penalty area to defend.
If they don't rush back, the Warriors will definitely be able to score 2 points, but if they rush back, the Warriors may not be able to hit a three-pointer.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi immediately passed the ball out.
After the previous badge [Dealing at the Top of the Arc] was upgraded, a new effect was added. As long as Sun Yi passes the ball to his teammates, his shooting percentage will instantly increase by 10%.
Reggie Williams received the pass and immediately took off to shoot. There was no chance for the Thunder to come back and defend.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
30:28!
"Go-ahead! The Warriors' three-point shot opened up, and it was the Thunder's turn to test the defense." Barkley explained with a cheerful mood.
On the sidelines, Thunder coach Brooks looked at the situation on the court and frowned.
He didn't expect the Warriors' strange small lineup to perform so well.
The game has only lasted for more than a minute in the second quarter. It is not worthwhile to request a timeout. We can only hope that the players on the field can solve the problem.
Immediately, Brooks came to the sidelines and shouted towards the court: "Give the ball to Kevin, he knows how to do it."
There is nothing wrong with Brooks's arrangement. This is the common behavior of NBA head coaches.
Durant on the court was confused when he heard the coach's arrangement.
What should I do? I really don’t know!
But other Thunder players did not know this. After Harden dribbled the ball across half court, he immediately passed it to Durant.
Durant was handed a hot potato and had no choice but to bite the bullet.
In this attack, Durant chose to break through, quickly made a crossover, shook Reggie Williams' center of gravity, used his explosive power to pull the ball back, dribbled behind his back and changed hands, and then broke through to the other side.
After failing to intercept Durant, Reggie Williams didn't take it to heart and immediately ran towards the designated position according to the defensive arrangement.
On the other side, Durant rushed into the penalty area and saw Sun Yi rushing back to the basket. Instead of making a strong attack, Durant passed the ball out.
According to his understanding, Sun Yi rushed back to defend and his teammates were left open. As long as he passed the ball to the best position, it would be easy to score.
But Durant never expected that he would make the same mistake Harden did before.
Reggie Williams has blocked Sun Yi's vacancy and also completed a steal.
After completing the steal, the Warriors launched a counterattack. Curry received a pass from Reggie Williams and rushed to the basket. Seeing no one chasing him, he completed a free dunk.
Curry was very excited after completing the dunk. He shouted happily and did not forget to show off to Sun Yi when he retreated from defense.
Sun Yi dismissed this and thought that he should let primary school students see what a real dunk is.
On the sidelines, Thunder coach Brooks immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to adjust.
He knew that if he continued to be beaten like this, he would take jujube pills.
So, Brooks called the players together, wrote and drew on the tactical board, and arranged the next offensive and defensive tactics.
In the TNT studio, during the timeout, Barkley and Kenny Smith were discussing the Warriors' defensive strategy.
"The Warriors' defensive strategy is very interesting. It has caused the Thunder to make two turnovers, and the effect is very good." Barkley said.
Kenny Smith saw some clues through God's perspective and expressed his own opinions.
"Their rotations are very fast, the tacit understanding between teammates is very high, and the five Warriors are very mobile, so they can switch defenses immediately, which places very high demands on the players."
Kenny Smith's analysis is correct, unlimited defense changes are not easy to accomplish.
In fact, unlimited defense changes have very high requirements on the tacit understanding between the team's players and the tactical literacy.
After all, once the two defensive players fail to communicate well during the change of defense, it is very likely that the change of defense will not be timely, or the movement around the screen will be heavy. This will be a blow to the team's overall defense.
And if there is an error in one link of unlimited defense switching, then there will be problems in the entire link.
"Kenny, your analysis is correct. This kind of defense is indeed difficult to complete, and there are still certain weaknesses." Barkley did not play devil's advocate and agreed with Kenny Smith's point of view.
This weakness is Curry, who is dispensable for defense. During the rapid rotation, if he faces Durant, he will basically give up points.
Kenny Smith knew the weakness Barkley mentioned and replied with a smile: "It depends on whether the Thunder can find the Warriors' defensive weakness."
"Then let's continue to watch the game and see if the Thunder's timeout will be effective." After Barkley finished speaking, he looked back at the playing field.
