You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 811 Flexible Adjustment
Letting Wei Xia play the fourth position to deal with Green is the best decision Jay Wright has made all season.

Since Wei Xia served as the fourth position, the first two games of the finals had an extremely surprising start.

Game1, Wei Xia was in the fourth position throughout the whole process, and the Warriors' response did not keep up.

When Green was blown up, the Warriors tried to use Drummond and Bogut's inside advantages to make up for the gap inside.As a result, Wei Xia transformed into a space four, and Cousins ​​​​also has the ability to attack from the outside.

Both Drummond and Bogut suffered major blows.

Even though Curry's performance was brave, Wall's sluggish shooting made it difficult for the Warriors to reverse the situation set from the first quarter.

117 is better than 109
The 76ers controlled the rhythm throughout and won the first game.

Wei Xia scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in a single game.

"Block the name, just look at this data, you will think that Shaquille O'Neal at the beginning of the century parachuted into this year's finals."

It is difficult to compare the data of players across the ages. Anyone who has some knowledge of NBA history will not take it seriously.

But it still can't stop the media from posting comparison charts of Wechat's first game against the Warriors and O'Neal's first game of the finals in a certain year.

If you want to look at statistics, Chamberlain is No. 1 in history. The media likes to use the wonderful statistics of contemporary players to show that there are talented people from generation to generation, but the method is too stupid and too impatient.

The 76ers showed their hole cards against the Warriors, and Weixia's playing at the fourth position was indeed a point that they did not expect.

Game2 is launched against this background.

Wright still let Weixia play the fourth position. Although the routine is repeated, if the opponent can't crack it, it doesn't matter even if it is repeated thousands of times.

The game started again, and the fans found that the formations of the two sides remained basically unchanged.

The 76ers used the scaling and rotation of their most confident striker, and did not let Weixia get involved too much. They made a special trip to find Green, who was blown up on the field. Green's state is better today than in the previous game. Cole's trust in the players has brought about a seemingly good result. However, the gap in strength cannot be made up by BUFF such as trust or courage.

Wright is far more experienced than Cole, and Curry, who performed amazingly in the last game, has become their focus.

The 76ers' defense seems to be ambitious. They want to control the outside three-pointers and the basket defense at the same time. Hayward played for a few minutes before leaving the field. The 76ers used Wesha, Cousins/Hollins, and Faried as the frontcourt lineup for a long time. Using their ability to protect the basket, the Warriors bought one and got three free.

At the same time, Wei Xia will no longer defend Green alone, he will leave Green to Faried, and then go to the periphery to find Curry and Wall to cultivate feelings.

The 76ers' wing advantage began to emerge. They forced the Warriors to use the helpless skills of mid-range emergency stops and throwing shots to withstand the pressure.

In the second quarter, the Warriors stepped up their defense and rotation, and struggled with the 76ers on the ground. The result was Wei Xia again. He seemed to be a dubious opponent, and he became a deadly matchup that the Warriors could not solve.

The Warriors refused to give in. From the third quarter, Wall used his peerless speed to single-handedly break through, throw shots and strong shots to close the score. In addition, Green and others, who had been beaten by Wei Xia as his son before, suddenly opened up, and the point difference went to single digits.

In the final quarter, the Warriors tried to shoot a large number of three-pointers to change the result, but the 76ers' offensive and defensive performance was solid and stable, impeccable.

With more than 15 points behind, the Warriors have no hope.

So 2 to 0, the 76ers successfully defended two home courts.

Wei Xia's data is even more terrifying than the first game: 40 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists.

"This kind of data can only be played by Charles Barkley in his prime!"

Looking at the first two games of the series, it is not so much that the 76ers won the [-]th position in Weisha, but that they used the league's first wing and athletic ability to protect the rebounds in place, block the basket, and use their long arms and rotation to suppress the Warriors' transfer of the ball and space. open.

After Curry's wonderful performance in the last game, the 76ers adapt to the situation tonight, give enough intensity, and his touch also goes down. When he has a strong guard following him to fight against him all the time, when he needs a pick-and-roll to switch directly, and when he is double-teamed at any time with the ball, he can't be expected to make six or seven three-pointers every game.

The biggest problem for the Warriors at present is not Curry.

The axis of the system, Green, was completely blown by Wei Xia, and Wall was insulted by three-pointers repeatedly but could not be punished by the opponent. The dilemma of the two gave the 76ers enough strength to pinch Thompson and Curry's shots, so that's it.

In the two games, the Warriors were disheartened and were beaten without any chance.

This is a strategic failure, but also a failure of the tactical system.

Since the restriction of hand defense and the introduction of the three-second zone rule, coupled with the geometric improvement of players' shooting skills in recent years, space and offensive efficiency have already jumped into the proposition of the new era. In the past, it was a defensive battle, tough + small space, and everyone's offense was difficult, so they had to rely on defense, relying on superstars to single out violent demolition to solve the problem;

Under the existing rules, it is very difficult to prevent a team from dying. In most cases, it is necessary to hold on to the defense and fight upwards to attack.

Ten years ago, the NBA still believed that the touch might be blunt, and the defense would not lose that set; now it is fighting for the upper limit-because it is impossible to suppress an offensive team's points below 10 with defense alone.

And this is the most prominent problem for the Warriors at present.

The 76ers have used their lineup and defensive system to minimize their performance, but the Warriors have not yet reversed the situation according to their own layout.

The Warriors are currently at a disadvantage, but it doesn't mean they have nothing to do.

In fact, they also fell into the same situation on the way out of the West.

The last team to get them in trouble was the Memphis Grizzlies.

They met the Warriors in the semifinals. After the first three games, the Grizzlies led 2-1.

Afterwards, the Warriors adjusted in time, never giving the Grizzlies a chance to win, and advanced to the division finals in three straight games.

There are two known problems with the Warriors.

Green can't handle Wei Xia. This is the experience summed up after spending two games and two painful losses.

For the Warriors coaching staff, this is an extreme "WTF" BUG.

After Cole arrived, he vigorously promoted Green, hoping that he would become the backbone of the team.Green also lived up to the team's demands with his energy.

It can be said that the rise of the Warriors is not only due to the continuous improvement of core players such as Curry Wall, but also due to the sudden emergence of Green, a second-round pick who has never been favored.

During the regular season, Jay Wright used Weisha as a guest at the fourth position to beat Green, and it worked wonders.

In the final, Wei Xia played two consecutive games at the [-]th position. After scoring the peak O'Neal and Barkley data, his opponent fell into contemplation.

Second, Wall's shooting.

For the 76ers, Wall's speed should have been an advantage.

However, the 76ers played a joint defense and used the defense capabilities of Wei Xia, Faried and Cousins ​​to prevent him from attacking the basket.Wall's attacking the basket is not efficient, and his shooting sight is even worse.

The problems encountered by Wall and Green gradually backfired on Curry and Thompson.

If the plight of these two people is not resolved, the Warriors still have no chance of winning.

He has always regarded himself as a warrior who ran and bombarded the spokesperson of the Sun, and decided to take a painful step.

Game3, they made several changes.

One of the biggest changes: John Wall coming off the bench.

This is really unimaginable, Wall is a second-team defender, let a second-team defender substitute?But considering how badly his shooting has hurt the Warriors' spacing, it's unbelievable and not so incomprehensible to do so.

Then, Thompson played the second position, and Iguodala, who had been off the bench for a season, entered the starting list and played the third position.

The Warriors have made amazing changes from the lineup to the style of play.

Curry began to hold the ball a lot, and, grasping Cousins' difficulty in defending the pick-and-roll, he kept calling the pick-and-roll to trouble Cousins.

Bogut increased the proportion of high-level hand-off support.

Iguodala's versatility and athleticism add a layer of protection to the Warriors' perimeter and wings.

Wall and Drummond, who fell on the bench, did not get emotional.

The Warriors used their own adjustments to truly explode the amazing combat power of the second team in the league, and issued a serious challenge to the 76ers.
