Chapter 752 Blooming Rose(1/2)
In the center of the court, Duncan and Davis jumped the ball. Davis easily defeated Duncan, winning the Warriors the first offensive opportunity in this game.
After Bill dribbled through half the game, he handed the ball to Chen Xiao who was pulling to the top of the arc.
After Chen Xiao received the ball, he made a pick-and-roll with Jokic who was pulled out. With the interference of Duncan and Leonard, he hit the ball back to Jokic who was cutting in.
When Jokic received Chen Xiao's pass, he quickly passed the ball to Klay Thompson outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right without any hesitation.
At this time, Clay's side was almost in a half-space state.
The loopholes caused by Chen Xiao and Jokic's pick-and-roll require other Spurs players to quickly make up for the rotation.
No matter how strong the Spurs' defense is and how fast the rotation is, the Spurs have to split the players to block Jokic's cutting in the moment when Duncan and Leonard attack Wang Xiao.
This time will not be long, Duncan classified it as, and the Spurs' defense will be transferred to the position immediately.
It is impossible for ordinary insiders to seize such a fleeting opportunity.
But Jokic can.
He has enough height and vision, and he also has excellent passing balls, which he can see and pass.
Therefore, when Clay received the pass from Jokic, facing McGrady, who had already rushed out to make up for defense, he took a knife and made a steadily three-pointer.
3 to 0!
The Warriors took the lead on the away game.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
On the side of the court, **Vic shouted loudly into the court.
It seems to be dissatisfaction and encouragement for the defense of Spurs players on the field.
But in fact, he didn't mean to blame the Spurs players on the field.
This three-pointer from the Warriors really can't blame the Spurs players, because in the past, the Spurs defended this way.
Moreover, you can only defend this way.
The Spurs couldn't let Chen Xiao face Duncan alone.
This defensive method of Chen Xiao's pick-and-roll attack after a pick-and-roll was very effective against the Warriors in the past.
The bullying is that the player who responds to Chen Xiao will not pass the ball.
In the past, the Warriors players next to Chen Xiao and Chen Xiao, whether they were Lopez, Thick Eyebrow, Clay or Bill, did not have such ability to pass quickly.
This allows the Spurs to immediately make up for the defensive rotation after attacking Chen Xiao.
But now that the one who responded to Chen Xiao was replaced by Jokic, the Spurs' defense speed seemed a bit slow, giving the Warriors some chance.
Jokic's goal is quick and will not give Spurs players too many opportunities to react.
And although Clay is not very good at passing and shooting, his shooting is also quick and decisive!
It can be said that the Warriors' offense integrates the advantages of Warriors players, abandons shortcomings, and is very powerful and terrifying.
It is a great test for the rotation speed of any team's defense.
On the court, it was the Spurs' turn to attack.
In the defense just now, the Spurs players were all full of energy after being squirted by **Vic.
Dior told everyone that the Spurs were also fighting for offense in this game.
The Warriors' shots are mainly due to Chen Xiao and Jokic, and the other three points are different from the finishing points.
Among the five Spurs players, the players who can play the ball include Duncan, Dior, Maizi and Roggo. Five players, all four of them can play the ball, and the only one left is Leonard.
And more importantly, the four Spurs players who can handle the ball all have very strong one-on-one abilities, including Dior.
When the Spurs did this, although the Spurs did not have the players like Chen Xiao who could attract double-team and invincible single-point players.
However, the Spurs' players who use their one-on-one ability to pass the ball and share the ball and cooperate, make the Warriors equally unpredictable.
Let’s just say that, no matter how fast a person runs, he is not as fast as a ball.
The Spurs' offense seems to be completely different from the Warriors' offense, but the core concept is actually the same.
The Spurs' attack ended, and the ball came to Leonard's hand outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. Leonard's three-point shooting was not as fast as Clay, but it also looked very stable.
In fact, since the rookie season, Leonard's three-point shooting percentage in the four seasons has not been less than 40%. Even in the rookie season, his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs exceeded 45%.
Even if he is taken more seriously now, his three-point shooting percentage can always be more than 42%.
As a role player, Leonard can be said to be a perfect 3D player, capable of 3D and D, and they are all extremely strong.
Perhaps the only point of complaint is that sometimes Leonard's three-pointers are ironed, which is really ironed. In terms of stability, he is indeed inferior to those of three-pointers like Clay and Chen Xiao.
However, Leonard is still stable most of the time.
A brush!
Facing the Thick Brow who rushed out to block the block, Leonard also hit the three-point opportunity created for him this time.
3 to 3!
"Awesome, even now, NBA rarely has competitions, and it has such a high technical and tactical content at the beginning!"
As a commentator for TNT in this game, Barkley was shocked by the attacks of the Spurs and the Warriors at the beginning.
And Kenny Smith next to him is the same.
"From the feeling, the two teams look like they are competing for shooting!"
"This is actually not the defensive difference between the two teams, but the offense of the two teams is too strong. They can create excellent offensive opportunities in every round, which will make it seem like the two teams are not playing, but shooting games!"
In history, in the 2014 finals between the Spurs and the Heat, the Spurs gave people the impression that the Spurs were doing shooting games.
In that final, James' shooting percentage was actually very, very high, with a shooting percentage of 57%, a three-point shooting percentage of 52%, and he can average nearly 3 three-pointers per game, with extremely high numbers and output.
At the same time, the Heat's overall shooting rate is not low, with a shooting percentage of nearly 48%, a three-point shooting percentage of nearly 40%, and can shoot more than 9 shots per game, close to 10 three-pointers.
To be honest, the Heat in 2014 had better off the team's offensive data and key players' offensive status than they did when they won the championship in 2013.
However, it was such a Heat who was determined to win three consecutive championships by the Spurs using a shooting training method...
In the entire finals, the Spurs hit 53% and the three-point shooting percentage is 47%. How do you play this?
As long as you can create absolute opportunities every round, you will have a guaranteed hit rate of about 50% every time you make a move.
This is also the reason why Durant always gets 55, because, for Durant's height, every time he makes an inch or not, most of the time he does not look at the defense, but himself.
The same is true for the Spurs in 2014. The entire Spurs are like Durant. Their offense does not depend on defense, but on themselves.
Players like Durant have no solution when attacking.
Teams like the Spurs and Warriors are also unsolvable when attacking.
In the first quarter, the unsolvable attacks of the Spurs and Warriors made ordinary fans pleasing to the eye and unaware of it.
At the same time, Barkley, Kenny Smith, and the professionals in front of the TV were amazed.
After the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 30-28, and the Warriors, who played away, led by 2 points.
The score seems not that high, because neither team has added up the offense and defense speed of the game.
The two teams strive for absolute opportunities every time they attack, so they use a lot of time each time. At the same time, this also leads to the fact that the two teams do not have that many rounds.
In the first quarter of the two teams, the Spurs made 21 shots, while the Warriors made 20 shots, not much.
However, the shooting percentage of both teams is amazing!
The shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage of both teams both reached more than 50%.
Especially the Warriors, the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage is even as high as 6,60% of the first quarter of the three-point shooting.
The reason why the Spurs were 2 points behind was not only because the Warriors made better three-pointers, but also because the Spurs' free throws in the first quarter were too slow...
Leonard made 1 of 2 free throws, Duncan made 0 of 1, and Rogo made 2 of 4 free throws...
Any free throws from Spurs players are better, the Spurs will not be 2 points behind in the first quarter.
And it is very interesting that the Spurs players' free throw problems throughout the game.
In the whole game, the Spurs made 14 of 26 free throws, with a shooting percentage of only 53.8%, which was like hitting a curse.
The Spurs' free throw shooting percentage is not as high as theirs in this game.
He lost 12 free throws in one game, which made the sidelines furious.
Because of this game, the Spurs lost only 114 to 119 and lost 5 points.
If the Spurs can score more free throws, the Spurs will not lose the final goal.
However, apart from free throws, **Vic couldn't find any complaints against the Spurs players.
Because, in this game, the Warriors on the opposite side hit 22 three-pointers in this game!
Just like this, if it were an ordinary team, it would have collapsed long ago. The shooting percentage of 22 of 40 three-pointers in the game was as high as 55%, and the shooting percentage was terrifying in terms of output and efficiency.
In other words, the Spurs stood in front of the Warriors in this game. In this game, the Spurs made 17 of 33 three-pointers, and their shooting percentage also exceeded 50%. Apart from free throws, the Spurs players really had no complaints in this game.
But if you think about it a little longer, **Vic will be relieved, because the Warriors' free throws were not good in this game, with 17 free throws in 28 free throws.
To be continued...
