NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 48

After Prince catches the ball, he wants to shoot.

But Thompson came over directly to make up the defense. Prince saw it, gave up the shot and passed the ball to Tony Allen.

Tony Allen wanted to shoot at this time Curry was rotated again.

Tony Allen had no choice but to pass the ball. When Conley got the ball, Barnes had already rotated directly.

Conley got the ball and was about to score, but looking around, the defenders in every position are online.

Is there any vacancy?
After double-teaming, the Warriors' defense really turned around.

Originally, when it was given to Randolph, it was delayed by seven or eight seconds. Just now, Randolph wasted another two or three seconds when he received the ball, and this rotation pass took several seconds.

Conley took the ball for a second or two. Thinking of this, Conley couldn't help but glance at the time. This round has consumed 19 seconds.

The surrounding Grizzlies fans anxiously counted the time.

Conley feels that it is difficult to organize any effective offense now, and it is no longer called a pick-and-roll. Facing Barnes, he directly makes a breakthrough and stops for a mid-range shot.

Although Barnes' defense is not very reliable, it is not a colander.

Su Chen thought of this when making arrangements before the game. Barnes was prepared to defend against a single attack for a few seconds.

Knowing that Conley couldn't make any fake moves during this attack time, Barnes also took off without hesitation and interfered with the ball.

If there is enough time, Conley's ball can definitely point Barnes up and make a foul.

However, due to insufficient attack time, if he chooses a point, the ball will be timed out.

Reluctantly shot, did not score.

clang.

Draymond Green received the rebound.

When Draymond Green gets a rebound, the first thing he does is look for a fast break opportunity.

The Grizzlies have returned to defense as quickly as possible, but the mobility of the five small lineups still grabbed the opportunity to switch offense and defense.

Draymond Green made a long pass directly to Thompson who ran across the half.

Randolph and Gasol Jr., the two insiders, have not yet run out of the Warriors' three-point line at this time, and Prince has not yet run past halftime.

Only Conley and Tony Allen scrambled back.

Curry, Thompson, and Barnes have passed halftime.

Thompson saw that Conley was following him, and threw it directly to Curry.

Tony Allen needs to choose between Curry's three-pointer and Barnes' inside cut.

Barnes cut inside to face an empty basket, which is a surefire way to get points.

Tony Allen thought about it, and chose to shrink inside. No matter how accurate the three-pointer is, Curry can't just put two points directly.

Seeing that Tony Allen wasn't coming to defend him, Curry didn't rush to shoot, and adjusted his posture to aim at the basket.

brush!
Facing a training-level three-pointer, Curry made a three-pointer effortlessly.

Grizzlies 0:6 Warriors.

It was beaten 0-6 at the beginning.

beep!
Faced with this bad offensive and defensive round, Lionel Hollins also ignored his face and called a timeout directly.

Curry, who scored six points in a row, walked to the bench with a smile and high-fived his teammates.

The morale of the Warriors came out right from the start.

Look at the other side.

Lionel Hollins made no secret of his anger.

"Aaron, you vote decisively and directly, what are you afraid of?"

"You and Prince don't dare to make two points, but the opponent dares to double-team Randolph."

"Vote even if there is interference, just to fear them!"

Lionel Hollins' method of breaking this double-team is also very simple and rude, that is to shoot!

The Grizzlies are originally a poor offensive team, and he is not a very good offensive coach.

How can a team that is already poor on offense lack an offensive point like Randolph?
"The ball is still in Randolph's hands."

"Randolph, you have to be prepared to distribute the ball in advance, and the speed of the ball should be faster to give Allen and Prince more shooting space."

Lionel Hollins continued with the arrangement.

Randolph nodded, he opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Randolph would like to say, Barnes and Jefferson's defense, so what if he carries the two of them alone.

But he also knows that this way of hero ball may not save the team, but may hurt the team.

So Randolph didn't say anything.

It's just that Lionel Hollins didn't see it. Su Chen was also looking at him when he was arranging tactics.

Of course, what Su Chen was looking at was not Lionel Hollins, but the tactical board in his hand.

According to the experience of the last game, his mental power can be used about 2 to 3 times in a game [Hawkeye].

Anyway, let's make a good start first, after all, the five small lineups have just been drawn out.

It's about giving the players confidence.

If the players are not confident, then this lineup will be timid when fighting.

After seeing Lionel Hollins' strategy, Su Chen first asked assistant coach Adams to emphasize offense, and then let him arrange defensive strategies.

Ron Adams scratched his bald head. He didn't understand why Su Chen always asked him to arrange offensive strategies.

It's okay to let him take over the command for a while, but during the critical defensive round, Su Chen asked him to arrange it himself.

However, although Ron Adams didn't understand, he didn't ask Su Chen.

It's time for a pause.

The two sides returned to the field.

Lionel Hollins chewed gum on the sidelines to mask his inner turmoil.

The five small lineup who thought they would give points for nothing at first caught him by surprise at the beginning, and it was really hard to find a way for a while.

Grizzlies ball.

This time, the Grizzlies speed up the feeding.

Instead of letting Randolph ask for the ball in the low post, Randolph made a pick-and-roll, and then Conley pretended to run the pick-and-roll and actually gave the ball to Randolph.

This time, he didn't spend too much offensive time feeding the ball.

Randolph hit it, seeing Barnes taking small steps in the middle, which made Randolph a little uncomfortable.

Is he going to double-team or not to double-team?

Seeing Barnes like this, Randolph simply ignored Barnes, picked up the ball and started chiseling.

The first blow knocked Jefferson back half a step.

But in the second chisel, Barnes double-teamed directly and resolutely.

Jefferson raised his arm, but he wasn't trying to block the pass, he was blocking Randolph's view.

Barnes started directly, intending to grab the ball from Randolph's arms.

Randolph yelled at the referee, indicating that Barnes had fouled, but the referee ignored him.

The current playoff whistle in the league is relatively loose. Such a foul may be blown by Randolph after he made a shooting action, but it is only during the back-up process that the referee does not want to blow it.

Randolph remembered the coach's words and could only pass the ball.

Prince was empty in his field of vision. Prince was originally Barnes' defender, and Barnes let his own defender defend him.
