NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 2 Charm from the Small Ball Era

The two sides played again.

Spurs: Thiago Splitter (C), Tim Duncan (PF), Kawhi Leonard (SF), Danny Green (SG), Tony Parker (PG).

Warriors: Andrew Bogut (C), Draymond Green (PF), Harrison Barnes (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Stephen Curry (PG).

Warriors attack round.

Curry dribbled the ball past halftime, when Leonard came directly to defend Curry.

As the future FMVP, Xiaoka has now exchanged his talent on the defensive end, and he is now the No. [-] lock for the Spurs.

Curry's current style of play is to break through and shoot with the ball. Under the restriction of Leonard's long arms, Curry has been misfired this time.

Leonard originally thought that Curry would continue to attack with the ball.

But I never expected that Curry would hand the ball directly to Barnes after dribbling the ball for half court.

Instead, Curry mentioned a step inside the three-point line and made a cover. Leonard knew that Curry was threatening to shoot, but he didn't dare to let it go and quickly followed.

Was it Barnes who initiated the attack?

It was Danny Green who defended Barnes, and the Spurs were not too worried about Danny Green's defense.

It's just that Barnes took the ball and just passed the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Draymond Green in the low post.

Defending Draymond Green, but Duncan!
If David Lee's low-post offense, there may be some arguments. Draymond Green, a person who has fallen out of the rotation, wants to play Duncan in a dream?

But only Popovich frowned.

He has seen a little clue.

I saw that Thompson first used Curry's screen, and then used Barnes' pick-and-roll. Draymond Green had already fed the ball the moment he was out of space.

Because Thompson used to play the role of a spot-up shooter, only Parker was allowed to defend Thompson.

Parker couldn't keep up with Thompson after two screens.

Su Chen could feel that the simulated glasses were equivalent to directly adding tactical proficiency, and this cooperation was very smooth.

Almost everyone's subconscious behavior has become the most suitable time point.

On the surface, this set of tactics already looks like a tacit understanding that they have developed after playing for a season.

In fact, this set of tactics has indeed been simulated a thousand times by the simulation glasses, adding a lot of proficiency.

Thompson catches the ball without making adjustments and shoots directly.

brush!
Three point shot!

Spurs 83:68 Warriors.

After the goal was scored, Parker looked at Green, and Green looked at Leonard.

The eyes of the three are full of doubts.

Have the Warriors ever played like this before?
And the coach didn't have a defensive strategy for this kind of ball!

"The new coach seems to have deployed a brand new tactic, and he's playing smoothly."

The commentary on the scene was a little surprised.

"However, the Warriors have never played this kind of tactics. Now their score, if there is a mistake, it will be over directly."

Another commentator shook his head.

Popovich couldn't help but glanced at Su Chen who was on the sidelines of the Warriors' bench. It was a young face in his 20s.

Just one such young man, but Popovich felt something was wrong.

However, there is still a 15-point lead, so you can take a closer look.

After all, he is also a historically famous coach, so he won't be stopped by a rookie coach as soon as he comes up, right?
Spurs offensive round.

The Spurs' offense was handed over to Duncan, the most stable point.

As the recognized number one player in history, Duncan is known as Mr. Great Fundamental Skills, and his standard playing style is unpretentious but incomprehensible.

Bogut was educated enough by Duncan today, but coach Su Chen still let him defend alone, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and carry it.

Duncan first observed the defense and found that there was no double-team, so he immediately planned to force Bogut.

Bogut is strong and strong, but he can't stand Duncan on the opposite side!

After another hit and hit, Duncan squeezed out of his position and directly chose to hit the rebound and shoot.

Just like Duncan's career scoring highlights, the same steady shot, even Bogut knew that the goal was probably scored.

But at the moment Duncan shot, a black hand came out from behind Duncan.

It's Draymond Green!

The position Su Chen assigned him was a full-court sweeping defense. For Green, who had a rest and didn't play much, his physical strength was enough to support him.

And now Draymond Green is also very hardworking, he wants to stand out!
He wants to climb over this mountain, as the coach said, and let the world hear his story!

The master of basic skills who has been playing for ten years, sometimes stumbles. Although the ball is not missed, it still interferes with the flight path.

The basketball jumped out of the hoop, and Bogut quickly protected the rebound at this time.

After Bogut protected the rebound, he didn't forget what Su Chen said, and launched a fast break directly.

But both Curry and Thompson ran too far ahead, and Bogut didn't have the confidence to pass that far with his own passing ability.

Barnes wanted to come to catch the ball, but there was Leonard standing in front of him. With Leonard's long arms, the ball would probably be confiscated by Leonard.

At this moment, Draymond Green frantically asked for the ball to Bogut.

Duncan went back to defense, and Draymond Green had no one to stop him from receiving the ball.

But Draymond Green is next to him, so he doesn't count as a fast break for Green?
But Bogut couldn't handle the ball by himself, and Draymond Green took the initiative to ask for the ball, so it's not bad to throw a pot.

After Draymond Green received the ball, he actually launched a long pass directly.

This is too bold!
He Draymond Green is only a second-round pick, and he was dnp (not able to play) before. Does he have this ability?
But Draymond Green really did it.

The ball went straight to Klay Thompson.

Thompson received the ball two steps outside the three-point line, with no defender in front of him.

Leonard went to defend Barnes, and the frontcourt formed him and Curry to play Parker and Green.

Throughout the series, Curry's breakthrough threat is relatively large. According to the common sense fast break method, Thompson should break through with the ball to attract the defense and then distribute it to Curry.

Curry's fast-break singles against Parker is quite sure.

But Green has come slowly and is cutting off his passing lanes to Curry.

According to common sense, it is best to play a safe 2V2, and stop the ball to play positional warfare if there is no chance.

But Thompson remembered the fast-break tactics that Su Chen had arranged just now, which gave him the right to make fast-break three-pointers directly. Thompson himself also had that confidence in his three-pointers.

I saw Thompson took a step forward, not very fast.

"It seems that Thompson is planning to wait for the position to attack. This is a good choice. After all, Green is already judging his passing route."

The on-site commentary voice did not fall.

I saw that Thompson was one step outside the three-point line and made a direct three-pointer.
