You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 814
Oracle Arena, where Game 2014 of the 15-6 season finals will start.

For the Warriors, this is a matter of life and death for them.

They have nowhere to retreat after being held by the 76ers.

And the 76ers are unwilling to continue to delay the game. After all, anything can happen in the tiebreaker. If the suspense of the series can be ended in the away game, it is the best result.

Game6, the Warriors' start is surprising.

"They look like they don't know how to line up. This starter, is it serious?"

In the previous five games, the Warriors' starting lineup has changed many times.

There are personnel changes in the back line and striker line.

Regardless of the changes, they ensure that there is a long man in the lineup who can provide rim protection and rebound protection.But tonight, in this live-or-die game, for the first time, they sent a small lineup known as the "Death Five".

The specific starters are Curry, Wall, Thompson, Iguodala, and Green.

The whole set starts, the maximum height does not exceed 2 meters, and only Green is an insider, so be more bold and unrestrained.

After staring at their lineup for a long time, Jeff Van Gundy said: "Basically, the Warriors decided to correct their direction."

"Yes, the current lineup is just a small change in their original starting lineup. They decided to break the iron law of more than half a century, using speed, shooting, athletic ability, to beat the traditional championship basketball."

Since George Mikan led the Minnesota Lakers to create the first dynasty in NBA history, except for the Bulls dynasty in the 90s, every championship team has a famous giant.

The famous saying that the center wins the world has permeated all aspects of the league, so we can see that many balls have the opportunity to bring the No.1 back to the team in history with the second pick in the draft, but for the reason of "we need a center" (in fact, we don't need it), they really abandon GOAT and bring home a white center with serious injury risks.

There are still many teams that pay the price for the same reason, and the inside line is the basic set of strong teams.

Even the 41ers who play the main 76 system, it is because of the existence of the huge "1" that the "4" in the system can operate.

Now the Warriors are about to challenge this iron law.

For the first time since the start of the Finals, they have a lineup that is faster, more athletic and more flexible than the Sixers.

Now that the height was abandoned, the 76ers won easily with the jump ball in the opening stage.

Green played the [-]th position. He successfully avoided Wecha, but at the same time, he had to face Cousins ​​​​on the defensive end.

This is definitely not an easier choice than Wei Xia.

The 76ers know how big their inside advantage is, so they focused their firepower on Cousins ​​at the beginning of the game.

The ball was passed, Cousins ​​caught the ball, turned around and hit back, crushing all the way, the Warriors let them one-on-one.Green looks like Cousins's plate, exploited and wiped out.

2 is better than 0
The Warriors didn't want Green to be beaten in vain, so the offensive end let him pull him out.Cousins ​​couldn't hold on, and Green made a three-pointer from the outside.

The 76ers also looked for Cousins ​​to play singles.

Cousins ​​thinks that knocking out Green is a matter without any pressure for him, so he is very relaxed when he does the action.

Turn around and hook your hand, no.

Suddenly, the Warriors accelerated.

Including Green, they protected the defensive rebound, and the five players whose height was no more than 5 cm quickly made it down.

Curry pushed the ball to the scene, was unlucky, made an emergency stop, Iguodala picked and rolled, swayed Rondo, and pulled out an unpredictable counterattack three-pointer directly from the top of the arc.

3 is better than 2
"It's so fast." Wei Xia sighed secretly.

The Warriors often reminded him of the Suns back then, but the Suns were unlucky. The core Nash was a late bloomer, rising fast and falling fast, and the inside core couldn't use his defense to support the team like Green.

"Does substituting young people make you feel old faster?" Wei Xia went to the frontcourt to face Iguodala.

Iguodala didn't know who was instructed by an expert, like Leonard, Wei Xia didn't answer anything, and made an autistic persona.

After he entered the starting list, the Warriors won two games in a row, and the 76ers' wing offensive efficiency dropped significantly.

If he is not considered a character because he was put on the bench, the 76ers will suffer.He is like Frank Ramsey, Toni Kukoc and Wei Xia in his rookie season. He was a capable starter, but he was put on the bench for various reasons.

Wei Xia chose to use running positions to get rid of Iguodala's entanglement.

He quickly ran to the right wing, screened in place, blocked Iguodala, and sprinted sideways out of the corner.

Then the teammate's ball came, Wei Xia took the ball and shot it back to the Warriors.

5 is better than 3
"Wish can take over the game if it wants to."

"Yes, the Warriors have not limited his performance so far."

"He's like MJ in the 90s. The only thing that can limit him is his touch."

The commentators boast that Wei Xia has no burden, because Wei Xia, who focuses on one-on-one offense and defense, has never lost to anyone since 2012.

Last season proved even more that if you give him a superstar teammate like James, he can bring the team to the championship.

This is the reality of competitive sports. When you win, you will choke on your saliva and someone will hold your feet: the way winners drink water is indeed different from ordinary people.

If you're a Luthor, all you can get is the grim "why doesn't a piece of shit that can't drink water just die?"

Losers don't deserve to breathe, and winners kill all. This is competition.

The changes of the Warriors gradually took effect.

On the weak side, Thompson needs a screen to catch and shoot.

5 is better than 5
However, the inside line of the 76ers also made the Warriors uncomfortable.

"Get out of the pick-and-roll, Understand?!" Rondo yelled, and Cousins ​​came out obediently.

Cousins ​​went down the pick-and-roll, and Rondo hit the ground pass to help him score a dunk.

The most pressing question for the Warriors at the moment is when Green's three-pointer will be opened.Only when he makes a three-pointer can he lead Cousins' defense to the outside.

So even if the first shot is missed, the Warriors will continue to call the pick-and-roll, let Green bounce out, and then pass the ball to him.

Don't expect Green to wipe out an enemy with one bullet and an enemy's head office with three bullets, right?
Green took the ball from outside, and Cousins ​​came out of the paint symbolically, and the distance between the two was three or four meters.

The provocation on Cousins' face was too obvious. He just wanted Green to shoot a three-pointer, and he was sure that Green's three-pointer would not make it.

If Green makes a three-pointer, the situation on the court will be reversed.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Curry took a screen and cut into the penalty area, and Green immediately passed the ball after seeing it.

Cousins ​​was completely unable to take care of Curry who cut into the penalty area and allowed him to score a layup.

7 is better than 5
Some fans don't recognize the key reason Cousins ​​is the No. [-] center: He can't defend at all.

Single defense depends entirely on recklessness, assistance defense depends entirely on opponents, and the talent on the defensive end is only superficial on the offensive end.

"I have been emphasizing that the reason why Wish was elected DPOY for two consecutive years has a lot to do with their insiders." Van Gundy was displeased with all offenses and smiled and defended his mom's insiders. "The 76ers' inside defense can't provide him with any help. He can only rely on himself. And he is also relying on himself to successfully limit all opponents, and use his great defensive awareness to make the 76ers a top five defensive team in the league."

Mark Jackson added to him: "I even think he should be selected as DPOY this year. His defensive value remains high. There is absolutely no second wing player who can exert an impact on the team like him. Kawhi Leonard is indeed a strong defender, but behind him is TD. Think about it, if TD is Wish's teammate, if Wish doesn't always pay attention to the inside defense and concentrates on the outside, what kind of bad news will this be for his opponents? "

While they were talking, Green and Thompson cooperated to cut Rondo who was about to pass the ball to Cousins.

The speed of the Warriors was raised again all of a sudden.

Green dribbled the ball through the middle circle, and Curry ran in a circle and was bitten by Wei Xia. He shot the ball as soon as he caught it. The speed was very fast, but he was still affected.

boom!
Hayward's counterattack grabbing the rebound was also caught by Iguodala. The cunning latter yelled and lay down, causing the former's offensive foul.

Suddenly, Wall's speed broke the 76ers' defense.

Cousins' defense couldn't respond, and Wall made a one-step throw in the paint and made a hit.

9 is better than 5
The scene is lively, the defense of both sides is in place most of the time, and every negligence will lead to the opponent scoring.

To the embarrassment of the 76ers, most of their negligence was brought about by a center.

This is the snake hitting seven inches.

Just like the classic illustration of Rondo being forgotten beyond the three-point line, the most likely embarrassment in the playoffs is to infinitely magnify the opponent's core flaws.

As an offensive center, Cousins ​​has no shortcomings or dead ends in his offense. On the defensive end, under the deliberate pressure of the Warriors, he has continuous problems.

Wei Xia made an emergency stop and missed a jumper, and a tactical foul prevented the Warriors from advancing.

Cousins ​​continued to let Green shoot a three-pointer.

Green stopped shooting, and even took the initiative to dribble out of the paint, and Cousins ​​threw it in front of him.

Cousins' reaction was a bit slow. Seeing Green's shot in front of him, when he recovered, the ball had already been scored.

11 is better than 5
Four minutes later, the Warriors, who started with five small players for the first time in the finals, are trampling on the iron law since ancient times, making the existence of traditional giants with natural defects on the defensive end under NBA rules become a breakthrough and defect on the offensive end.

This is what Wright did not expect, and it is also what many experts did not expect.

Wesha and Cousins ​​are recognized as the absolute strength of the 76ers against the Warriors.

Before the game, people predicted that the Warriors should find a way to use Drummond and Bogut to encircle Cousins, and then use Curry and Thompson's explosive power from outside to compete against the unsolvable Wei Xia.

Now, Wei Xia still has no solution, but Cousins ​​has become a loophole to be targeted.
