NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 18 Capitalist coach, using Curry as a bully
But fortunately, Jarrett-Jack was under the pick-and-roll this time, and when he was shooting, he picked up Splitter, who had switched defenses, and caused a foul.

Jarrett Jack touched the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

Spurs 21:22 Warriors.

In the next 2 minutes, the situation was basically slowly controlled by the Spurs.

Jarrett Jack's offensive efficiency obviously cannot keep up with his scoring efficiency.

If it wasn't for Aizeli's help to make up the defense many times, the score would definitely be even worse.

Fortunately, David Lee's All-Star this season is not in vain. He can also contribute a certain amount of firepower on the bench, and his post-up and mid-range shots help the Warriors bite the score.

Overall, the Warriors are at a disadvantage.

Spurs 29:26 Warriors.

beep!
Su Chen couldn't wait any longer, and immediately called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Spurs lineup remained unchanged, and the Warriors replaced Draymond Green and Curry.

Spurs: Thiago Splitter (C), Matt Bonner (PF), Kawhi Leonard (SF), Manu Ginobili (SG), Tony Parker (PG) ).

Warriors: Festus Ezeri (C), Draymond Green (PF), Harrison Barnes (SF), Kent Bazemore (SG), Stephen Curry ( PG).

Warriors round.

Curry advanced with the ball, and when he entered near the three-point line after halftime, Bazemore immediately came to cover.

Tony Parker guarded Bazemore and Leonard guarded Curry.

Parker and Leonard bypassed the first cover in time.

"It seems that even a tactic that has been simulated a thousand times will fail because of the player's own ability."

Su Chen watched from the sidelines and pouted.

However, Bazemore and Curry did not give up and made a second screen.

This time the cover was finally changed.

After all, Parker is 31 years old, and running with the young man, it is not always possible to bypass the screen every time.

The Warriors are a three-point team. Although Bazemore made only about 30% of his three-pointers, the Warriors really dare to throw three-pointers and not really let them go.

It doesn't work if you really want to give a wide open for training. Leonard can only defend Bazemore and become Parker's single defense against Curry.

The two inside players of the Warriors are ambushing near the free throw line, ready to rush up to pick and roll at all times, while Barnes and Bazemore directly opened the three-pointer.

Parker looked back a little at the positions of the Warriors' two inside lanes. The Warriors have a lot of pick-and-rolls, so he needs to look at the position in advance.

But at this time, Curry observed that when Parker was distracted, he suddenly accelerated and was about to break through.

Parker quickly backed away, while calculating the distance and preparing to go around the pick-and-roll.

But the two insiders didn't come up at all, instead they rushed towards the inside.

The Spurs' inside duo was afraid that Curry would be given an empty pick, so they quickly shrank back.

But at this moment, Curry suddenly stopped and retreated.

Directly a three-point shot!
Parker's center of gravity was at the back, and he wanted to rush over at this time, but he couldn't adjust his center of gravity and suddenly staggered.

brush!
Curry hit a three-pointer.

Spurs 29:29 Warriors.

The audience did not expect that Curry's ball was a singles tactic, not a pick-and-roll at all.

The Warriors rushed inside just to grab rebounds.

Parker's face was a bit ugly. He was obviously tricked by the ball just now.

But Parker also lost his temper.

On the offensive end, Parker directly signaled his teammates to pull away.

Facing Curry's defense, Parker suddenly accelerated and rushed in, scoring a layup with a difficult twist.

This is Parker's famous technique.

However, although the defensive intensity was very high, the referee did not give a whistle, and the ball did not score 2+1.

Spurs 31:29 Warriors.

In the next round, the tactics of the two sides began to decrease, and the stars played more singles.

Curry picked Parker to play, and Parker also picked Curry to play.

Both sides have strikes and goals.

Curry's style of play mainly ends with three-pointers. Of course, when Parker is defending three-pointers, Curry will also use the pick-and-roll to make step-back three-pointers or mid-range shots.

Parker mainly focuses on breakthroughs. If facing double-teams, he will distribute the ball to the inside line who cuts in.

Since the two sides had their own back and forth, Su Chen and Popovich simply called a timeout to interrupt each other's momentum.

The overall strategic approach has not changed on both sides.

"Is Curry's stamina consumed so much because he wants to play in the first three quarters? Curry doesn't have enough stamina to play in the last quarter."

Popovich looked at the court, and Curry thought about it again and again in singles.

Curry only played the whole game in the first quarter, and Curry took a 2-minute break in the second quarter, and he didn't paddle but kept playing with the ball.

Thompson's autonomous offensive ability is limited. If it is just to lock Thompson, it will be much easier for the Spurs.

So even though Curry still had some advantages on the court, Popovich did not change his strategy.

Unlike the Warriors, Parker couldn't move anymore, and Ginobili and Duncan were still there.

The Warriors' Curry can't play anymore, and Thompson can completely block it without the ball. Then Draymond Green has no independent offense and only passes the ball, let alone him.

As for David Lee and Jarrett Jack, their ability to handle the ball is simply not on par with Duncan and Ginobili.

If the brat in the Warriors wants to rely on those two, then Popovich has full confidence to deal with him like Mark Jackson.

At this time, halftime is over.

Spurs 53:59 Warriors.

Curry led the Warriors in this quarter and took a 6-point lead.

Su Chen looked at the score and felt quite satisfied.

I have to sigh that under the high-intensity defense, Curry can still complete a good three-pointer with only singles and simple pick-and-rolls.

In fact, many people have misunderstood Curry, thinking that Curry in the championship year is the pinnacle.

In fact, the younger Curry is, the faster his shooting rate is. Just like this 2013 version of Curry, he can hardly feel the shooting action but is pushed out instantly.

On the contrary, the older Curry is, the slower his shooting rate is. Later, it is obvious that Curry is shooting normally like a normal player.

Su Chen was satisfied, but Curry was so tired that he was about to collapse.

The towel handed by the staff got wet after a few wipes, so I had to change to a towel with stronger water absorption.

Especially when Curry walked towards the player's bench, Su Chen had a smile on his face and didn't know what he was talking to Curry.

With Curry's baby face, it looks like Su Chen is trying to lure an innocent child laborer.

A proper capitalist coach who treats naive Curry as a bully.
