Chapter 552 The Targeted Superstar
Curry passes the ball to David Lee in the high post.
David Lee hands off Klay Thompson, who moves off the ball.
Klay Thompson is also a sharp shooter, and his 3-point shooting percentage this season is also over 40%.Looking at the entire NBA, the Golden State Warriors are the only team that makes more than 3% of their starting backcourt 40-pointers!
To defend against this kind of off-ball shooter, Xie Kai's strategy is to stick to the defense and let you hold the ball.Clay is not a No. 2 position with a strong ball-holding attack. His speed is average, and his bullet speed and explosive power are also very average. In the 2011 draft, he was not selected until the 11th pick in the first round.
Xie Kai squeezed through the screen very quickly. Clay didn't find a good opportunity and gave the ball to the North Carolina Blackhawks on the other side.
The North Carolina Blackhawks rushed to the old prince and made an emergency stop jumper-no!
The Black Bear protected the rebound and handed it to Conley to advance.
Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.
Xie opened the lob to the black bear in the low position and asked him to sit and hit.
Like other teams, the Warriors' way of defending the Black Bears is to let the inside center to match up, and let the relatively small 4th position defend the White Bears.
The black bear forcefully attacked Bogut, who was also a heavy center with outstanding strength and tonnage. The two fought hand-to-hand in the low position, and their muscles collided with each other, which was clearly heard by the cameraman at the bottom line.
The black bear turned over and made a jumper-none!
David Lee protected the backboard.
For the Warriors, Curry shot a 3-pointer with the help of a screen, but it didn't work!
Looking back, Xie Kai also scored 3 points with the help of Bai Xiong's cover, but he also missed!
After 1 minute of the opening game, both teams failed to score, and the score was still 0:0.
Yu Jia sighed: "The defensive strength and pertinence of the playoffs are really much stronger than the regular season!"
Xu Jicheng said: "In the NBA playoffs, each team must play at least one round of the series, and the series must play at least 4 games. Everyone will carefully study the characteristics of the opponent's game, the technical characteristics of the main rotation players, and so on."
Curry dribbles over and passes to David Lee in the high post.
Curry ran without the ball, and with the help of Bogut's screen, moved to the bottom corner.
David Lee out!
Curry catches the ball and shoots a 3-pointer-hit!
The Warriors scored first!
"A point guard like Stephen Curry is really the best in the league!" Xu Jicheng laughed.
Yu Jia nodded and said: "We think that the point guard in the traditional sense is to dribble the ball across the half court and then organize the offense. Offense is not the first choice, but today's point guard seems to be more and more inclined to the shooting guard. Another personal offense. There are really few players like Curry who can play off-ball screen 3-point tactics.”
The Grizzlies attacked here, Xie Kai held the ball on the right wing, with the help of the White Bears' cover, David Lee came out to block it, and it was still Klay Thompson's defense.
Clay's defense is very good. Although he is only a second-year rookie, his defensive position, habits and technical movements are very solid and excellent. He will not shoot blindly, nor will he take off easily. Will not call fouls easily.
But it's not easy to restrict Xie Kai in a one-on-one situation.Xie Kai's first step is too fast, so it is difficult for Clay, who is not good at lateral movement, to keep up without letting the opponent shoot.
Xie Kai's crotch changes direction and moves to the right hand, then changes direction and moves the left hand to cut in!
The Warriors' help defense is here!
Xie Kai gave the ball to Bai Xiong, and Bai Xiong divided the corner to the old prince!
opportunity!
The old prince made a 3-point shot-short!
The Black Bear hit the ball out of the baseline when grabbing an offensive rebound.
Backcourt ball!
Yu Jia said: "Mr. Xu, it seems that when the Warriors are defending Xie Kai, once he rushes in, he will quickly attack. What do you think of this defensive strategy?"
Xu Jicheng gestured with his hands and said, "Xie Kai is a superstar, and it would be difficult to defend against Klay Thompson one-on-one, so coach Mark Jackson used pincers to force him to play. This strategy itself is useless. The problem. One thing that needs to be dealt with here is the choice of flanking timing. Because Xie Kai is a player with strong passing ability, once the flanking is early, he sends the ball to an open teammate, that is a very good offense Opportunity. If the flank is late, he may score directly."
Yu Jia nodded and said: "So this needs to test the judgment and rotation of the Warriors' defense!"
Xu Jicheng nodded and replied: "That's true, but it also tests the Grizzlies. How can they transfer the ball to open teammates through Xie Kai's outside threats and get opportunities."
Here, David Lee of the Warriors hit the black bear in the low post, and there was no hook!
The White Bears took the rebound and handed it to Conley to advance.
Conley came over with the ball, and with the help of a screen, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot!
The Grizzlies also scored.
The Warriors attacked, and Klay Thompson used Bogut's screen to make a mid-range hit and returned the favor!
The Warriors lead 5:2 at the start!
Xie Kai had a problem with Bogut's off-ball screens. He felt that the opponent's hands moved when he screened, and his feet were not clean.In fact, when the two teams met for the first time this season, they frequently argued with the referee because of Bogut's mobile screens and small moves. But I didn't expect this guy to do it in the playoffs.
"Mr. Xu, do you think Xie Kai has a reason to be dissatisfied with Bogut's defense?" Yu Jia asked.
Xu Jicheng replied: "Looking at the slow-motion replay, Bogut did move his feet when he was covering, and he made a covert movement of pushing and shoving away. He should be a veteran of such small movements, and the movements are very subtle. , the position of the referee is hard to see."
Conley came over with the ball, and Xie Kai used the White Bear's off-ball screen to cut directly!
Conley took the ball, Xie Kai caught the ball, and directly attacked the frame, and David Lee fell to the ground in response!
The referee gestures—offensive foul!
Xie Kai was dumbfounded...
The K honey and the Grizzlies fans in the stands quit... What the fuck is it not enough to be slapped by Bogut just now, but also addicted, are you blind, the referee?
Boos were flying all over the sky, but the referee insisted on his judgment and refused to change it!
"Looking at the slow-motion replay, David Lee didn't stand firmly on his feet, and the ball kicked off and hit his side. According to the rules, it's too far-fetched to call an offensive foul!" Yu Jia said angrily.
Xu Jicheng agreed: "It should be more reasonable to call a defensive foul, but in the NBA, in order to maintain the authority of the referee, it is difficult for the referee to change the penalty."
Xie laughed, and he didn't try to reason. Over the years, he has seen a lot, whether it's the home whistle or the league control, these are all normal.
In the final analysis, this is a business alliance, some shady things, some PY transactions, also exist objectively.The league doesn't want any series to end prematurely.
