Chapter 1003 [Continuous scoring at the end]
The two sides competed in the first quarter with shooting, Guo Xu was responsible for holding the ball, Roy, Thompson and Ibaka took the ball and took the ball.
The Warriors are Roll Deng responsible for the ball holding organization, Curry, Redick and Landry are running and receiving the ball, and their playing style is completely imitating the Suns.
Thompson is the best player in both teams, making 5 of 7 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, scoring 14 points.
During the break, the tnt narrator teased Redick's arm span.
Barkley said: "It is not a good idea to let Redick, who is 193cm tall and 191cm tall, defend Thompson. Thompson was seriously underestimated. He fell out of the lottery due to the marijuana incident in the 2011 draft and was picked up by the Sun. If he took more actions, he could easily cut 20+."
Smith said: "I think Thompson will take more shots today, and the Suns need him to take on more offensive responsibilities in the future. Guo Xu made very few shots today to help his teammates create opportunities."
Guo Xu played the whole quarter, and made 1 of 2 shots in the counterattack. He passed Curry and made a layup, scoring 2 points and 5 assists.
The Warriors players made an average shot. Lopez, who scored the most points, scored 7 points, scored 2+1 at a time, and gave Gott a two-foul.
Gotat is not a defensive player. His maneuverability is not a pick-and-roll defense, and he suffers from the heavy inside. After Gasol Jr. left, the Suns only had two second-rate centers and rookie Azeli, and his defense did drop a little.
Everyone can see that the Warriors have become stronger and their offense is smooth, even if the Suns are not easy to defend. However, with excellent attack, the Suns still lead 34-31.
The substitutes in the second quarter were difficult to solve. The Warriors' Famal, Stevenson, Garcia, Scola and Monroe had a clear division of labor and were able to attack and defend.
Scola is the most important signing for the Warriors. He has a very stable mid-range shot, suitable for pick-and-roll attacks, and complements Monroe, one inside and one outside. Both insides also have the ability to support passing and can find teammates who run.
Like the previous two games, the Suns mainly relied on Thomas Jr. and Whiteside to play pick-and-roll, defenders break through, empty cuts in the interior, and others pull away to catch the ball and shoot.
During the intermission, Barkley commented on Warriors coach Mark Jackson, saying that he was a fan of D'Antoni and must have written all the Suns' tactics in his notebook when he was a commentator, and he imitated them well now.
In the second half, the two teams continued to compete in tactics, relying on cover to create a chance to catch the ball and get a mobile phone. Except for the core, they rarely play singles.
Curry began to play in the third quarter. If Guo Xu's pursuit and defense are slow, it will be difficult to interfere with his shots. Curry made three 3-pointers and scored 11 points and 1 assist in a single quarter.
Guo Xu also made more moves, making two three-pointers, and hit Curry with two singles in the weak side and counterattack. He scored two free throws in a misaligned breakthrough, making a foul and two free throws, scoring 12 points and 3 assists, performing better.
The two sides could not tie the score, and the stalemate reached 111 points in the last three minutes of the final quarter.
Both teams have blacksmiths. Roy and Roll Deng, the two old Luo families, were lost on the offense, and they reduced their shots and more passes and defenses.
Butler, Richardson and others could not find the shooting star, and they were with the Warriors' substitute blue-collar swinger. Landry only scored 4 points by Ibaka, and guarded the water dispenser on the sidelines in the last quarter. At the critical moment, the Warriors went to the inside double towers.
D'Antoni called for a timeout to adjust the lineup, and sent Guo Xu and Kid to partner with the outside, the small forward was Thompson, and the inside was Ibaka and Gotat.
When the score was stalemate in the final quarter, D'Antoni never considered using Whiteside, the best inside player. He could fly and block shots, but his playing style was very rough, he often swayed on the defensive end, and was prone to make mistakes on the offensive end.
Sun ball rights, Kidd interprets what it means to "have an old family, like a treasure". Although his physical fitness is incomparable to his peak, his understanding of tactics is far better than that of young players and he will not make mistakes at critical moments.
The Warriors doubled Guo Xu at the three-point line and did not give him the chance to directly challenge Curry. Guo Xu only had to pass the ball to Kidd and then run, and the Warriors' defensive end was immediately difficult to deal with.
Kidd's ability to restrain the outside line is stronger than Payton, who joined the Suns to win the championship after a salary cut that year. He can shoot three-pointers. His playing style is almost exactly the same as Payton, and this heavy point guard is suitable for partnering with Guo Xu.
Guo Xu and Ibaka did not cover the ball in the middle to protect the running. Curry was slow to chase and defend. Kidd passed the ball to Guo Xu perfectly. He took the ball with a quick stop and jumped in 45 degrees, and scored a time difference to the board. 113 to 111.
He took a step inside the three-point line, and Munro was not easy to pounce on the outside after covering the middle, so Ibaka might cut in the air.
The Warriors' offense also covers the running tactics, the Suns directly switch defense, Gott's position interferes with Redick's shooting, and the latter's intention to pass the ball to Monroe who cuts the ball was too obvious. Kidd switched to the front of the defense and blocked the ball directly.
An opportunity immediately appeared on the court, and Kidd passed the ball to Guo Xu to make a single fast attack.
Guo Xu dribbled the ball towards Curry into the three-point line, dribbling under his crotch and retracted the ball from behind and changed direction, successfully passed by, and threw the ball from the right side. 115 to 111.
Curry received a pass from Roll Deng to run with a cover and wanted to make a three-pointer, but was double-teamed by Thompson and Guo Xu. Curry passed the ball with the opportunity, and Roll Deng made an open three-pointer in the middle. He made 0 of 4 shots from the outside today, and the Suns dared to empty him.
When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu passed the ball to Kidd again and then ran himself.
He relied on cover to run in the middle and Curry caught up with him. Then he walked the bottom line and ran to the right. Kidd passed the ball to Thompson at 70 degrees, and the latter transferred it to Guo Xu.
On the right, Guo Xu, Thompson and Gotat near the penalty area formed a triangle. Everyone will be free to double-team this position.
Although Curry tried hard to catch up, Guo Xu got the opportunity to fight one-on-one. After the feint, he took it to 45 degrees. He took the step and took the fake action to the bottom line and changed direction to the bottom line. Curry stopped and jumped to the pitch. 117 to 111.
Guo Xu played three or two points in a row, completely disrupting the Warriors' offense and defense rhythm in one wave.
The Warriors attacked, and Rollden was released on the periphery again.
When Roy feels bad, he can replace him. If Roy is out, the strength of other small forwards will be much worse, and both offense and defense will be affected.
Roll Deng did not make a strong three-pointer, but he did not make a central shot even if he brought it into the three-point line. In recent years, he did not have the right to attack with the Warriors, and his central shot ability has deteriorated a bit miserably. Last season, the large-sized two-point shooting percentage was 35.5%, and the central shot shooting percentage was 12.5%.
He singled out for Monroe, who was stronger than Ibaka, and he entered the basket and attracted Gottate to retreat and double-team and then split. Lopez made an open mid-range shot from the right baseline. 117 to 113.
When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu ran to the left and received a pass from Kidd. This time he took the ball and changed direction and passed Monroe, easily scoring the basket with his left hand. Curry was blocked for half a second and he couldn't catch up with him as soon as Guo Xu accelerated.
119 to 113, Guo Xu scored 8 points in a row.
Zhang Heli smiled and said, "It seems that Guo Xu was trying to keep playing in the first three quarters, helping his teammates play. He went to the end without getting the score open, and Curry couldn't defend it one-on-one."
Yu Jia said: "The Warriors made a mistake in substitutions. If Monroe and Lopez were on the same side, the pick-and-roll defense would be worse. I think it would be better to try to let Roll Deng play a cameo as a power forward to play small ball tactics. He can interfere with shooting against Ibaka and has strong mobility."
Unfortunately, Warriors coach Jackson didn't think so, and he continued to use the double towers.
Curry was entangled by Guo Xu, Roll Deng passed the ball to the inside, Monroe turned and shot missed the shot in a single, Gott's rebound, Kidd received the pass and was experienced, slowed down the pace, and began to fight the position and kill time.
With 24 seconds of quick use, Guo Xu received the ball from the left and attracted double teams to pass the ball with the opportunity. Kidd made a three-pointer in the middle.
