368: If you can, just interrupt me and try.(1/4)
December 23rd, two days before the start of the Christmas War.
The long-awaited Chinese Derby will be staged again.
Although the Warriors have a poor record this season, their free and unrestrained tactical style has still allowed them to have a lot of upsets...
For example, the powerful Bulls once fell to the Warriors' 47.6% three-point shooting rate.
In that game, Yao Ming thought it was an opportunity to teach his younger brother a lesson, but instead he was taught a lesson by the Warriors where the United Arab Emirates played.
It made everyone feel embarrassed after the AFC Champions League: "Brother Yao, don't be depressed. Come on, chew some green tea and relax."
For another example, they also defeated the Seattle duo of Junzi Lei and Lewis.
There is no secret to the Warriors beating the Sonics. There is no such thing as limiting Ray Allen or locking down Lewis.
The Warriors rely on one trick to win - score more goals than they do!
In that game, the Warriors shot 52.4% of their three-pointers. Every one of them was a sharpshooter. Every three-pointer destroyed an enemy. They suppressed Junzi Lei and Lewis in terms of firepower.
Somehow, this team seems to have the three-point shot engraved in their DNA, both now and in the Curry era.
This Warriors team is a bit of a bastard in the league.
He lost all the games you thought he could win.
You think he will lose the game, but he may actually win.
Just playing.
Ah Lian was speechless. I have been honest and diligent all my life, and at most I just like to drink some Lafite. How come I became such a troublemaker as soon as I entered the NBA!?
However, in today's game, many people did not expect the Warriors to be upset.
After all, the Suns, with their 20-game winning streak, are now considered the only team in the league.
Being able to win 20 consecutive games is enough to show the stability of the Suns, and they are not the kind of team that will overturn easily.
If they were a team that could be easily upset, they would have been upset long ago.
Popovich also knew that the Warriors had little hope of winning, but he still stayed in front of the TV with the mentality of scratching lottery tickets.
The ratings of this game in Mi Li's home were not high. Although the ratings were high in China, everyone also went there based on the Chinese Derby.
In short, when a lottery team meets a championship team, just like the picture allowed by Qidian, there is really nothing to see.
Before the game started, many on-site commentators were even talking about the Christmas game two days later.
They are all speculating on whether the Spurs can successfully stop the Suns, who have won 20 consecutive games.
I wonder if Popovich can be the national hero of the Mi Li family again.
Regarding the game itself, even the commentators were somewhat uninterested.
Before the game started, Warriors coach Mike Montgomery looked at the players and patted the tactical board.
"I don't need to say more, right? I still have the same goal, shoot when you have the chance! Don't worry about whether you can score, just shoot. If you shoot, at least there is a chance of scoring. If you hold back and don't shoot, the chance of scoring will be
That’s 0%!
Come on guys, go full throttle, let's have a good fight!"
Montgomery was just the interim coach that the Warriors hired for a two-year transition, and the former Stanford University head coach simply took advantage of the situation. Anyway, there are no performance requirements, so I can play however I feel comfortable.
I still have to feel heartbroken about my own wife, but for other people’s wives, can’t it be over after all the energy is gone?
So the Warriors' tactics this season are just one word, rush.
His tactical ideas are similar to those of Nelson and D'Antoni.
They emphasize fast offense and three-pointers, and almost completely abandon defense. So far this season, the Warriors have averaged three-digit points per game.
In this era that emphasizes defense, the Warriors are a wonder of the league.
If you can attack and die, then attack, if you can't attack, then you will be killed.
He doesn't need to get results anyway, so why bother with so much.
Besides, even if Montgomery wanted to emphasize defense, he couldn't.
He doesn't have any players who are particularly good at defense.
Rather than letting others slaughter you, it's better to fight with the opponent.
This is also the reason why the Warriors are frequently upset despite having a poor record.
Once the Warriors' players start to feel better, even a defense as strong as the Bulls will have to overturn.
The game is about to begin, and the five members of the Warriors are in their respective positions, including Baron Davis, a first-generation paper ball player, and Jason, who was reluctant to participate in the slam dunk contest last year because of James. You go deep.
The small forward is white shooter Mike Dunleavy, the power forward is Alian, and the center is white softball Troy Murphy.
One characteristic of the Warriors' five-talented team is that they all know how to make three-pointers, including center Murphy, who shot 40% from three-point range this season.
During his college days, Ah Lian liked to shoot outside and was ridiculed by the media.
He originally thought that after entering the NBA, he would have to correct this problem and play more inside.
On the first day the result came, Montgomery told him: "Change? You don't have to change! In this team, you can shoot how you want! If you don't know how to shoot, is it still called playing basketball?"
He even complained that the Arab League shot too few three-pointers.
He told Arab League not to be bound by position. In the future of basketball, the division of positions will only become more and more blurred.
There will be more and more pork belly point guards and 1.98 meter big centers in the future.
You have to open up this pattern!
You can't confine yourself to death.
Thus, Ah Lian began his career as a prodigal investor without any shame.
In this team where all the centers are shooting three-pointers, if you don't shoot three-pointers, you will be out of tune with your teammates because you are not abnormal enough.
Historically, many coaches did not use Ah Lian because he liked shooting.
But in the Warriors, you have to shoot. You can't do it if you don't.
When the game started, Li Ang was a little anxious and just wanted to end the game as soon as possible.
All he can think about now is playing No. 25 against the Spurs, and he doesn't have much patience for other games.
As soon as they came up, Li Ang and Nash formed an alley-oop cooperation. Murphy was under the basket at the time, but when he saw Li Ang jump up to catch the ball, he had no time to react, and he had no choice because of his limited athletic ability.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Troy Murphy’s frame-protecting ability is almost negligible in Li Ang’s opinion.
As soon as he came up, the sun showed the momentum of crushing his opponents.
However, when the Warriors attacked, Dunleavy, who seemed the most harmless, took the lead and scored a three-pointer to lead the score.
On this shot, Baron Davis broke through Nash, so Li Ang went over to help defend.
Little did he know that Davis was not very stubborn today. He did not attack directly. Instead, when Li Ang came over from a double attack, he wisely gave the ball to Dunleavy who was left open.
Dunleavy took a decisive shot after receiving the ball, threw the ball before Li Ang interfered, and easily hit a three-pointer.
Of course, the Warriors' lead did not last long, after all, their defense was too stretched.
One round later, O'Brien passed the ball in a pick-and-roll and made a one-handed dunk.
O'Brien's athletic ability is absolutely perfect for beating Murphy. As soon as he goes down, Murphy is thrown far away.
Let's put it this way, except for his soft touch and good body shape, Troy Murphy is almost useless.
He is slow and weak on the defensive end, and can beat him whenever he encounters a more mobile center.
For now, it seems that the Suns are still in control of the situation.
However, the Warriors' counterattack came very quickly.
In this round, Richardson held the ball and borrowed the Arab League pick-and-roll, then immediately shot from outside the three-point line.
The Warriors' offense has no structure at all, just anyone can come and do it.
Although the Arab League helped Richardson block the one-on-one Joe, it was still difficult because Richardson held the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.
Before Curry came out, shooting three-pointers with the ball was not mainstream.
Whether it's Gentleman Ray or Reggie Miller, they actually mostly catch the ball and shoot three-pointers.
As a result, this three-pointer hit the net again. The Warriors scored two three-pointers in a row!
6 to 4, the Warriors still lead!
This goal completely kicked off the Warriors' outbreak today.
In the first quarter of the game, the Suns were unable to guard against the Warriors.
After Richardson scored a three-pointer, Joe didn't dare to let him go in isolation, so he pressed hard throughout the game.
But Richardson can break through with the ball, he is not a pure shooter.
With the support of the new rules, if your defense is not particularly good, pressing forward rashly is looking for a breakthrough.
Richardson then frequently broke through and scored points in the mid-range.
