Chapter 565 Escape is shameful but useful
Timeout, Kings bench.

Holding the tablet, Su Yang took a closer look at the defensive data of Cousins ​​and Jokic, feeling a bit pained.

The data shows that in terms of defensive three-pointers and long two-pointers, Cousins ​​allowed the Warriors to hit 45.9%, Jokic's defense allowed the Warriors to hit 44.8%, and other Kings players allowed the Warriors to hit 35.7% %.

The contrast is stark.

The king's loss was mainly due to Cousins ​​and Jokic. The former wanted to defend, but his lateral speed was slow, while the latter liked to play tricks, but it basically had no effect. It was the dog who saw the steamed stuffed bun just out of the cage.

How to solve it?
The psychological warfare has been fought, and the warriors will be fearless.

Partial three defenses and two defenses have been done, and the Warriors divide the ball and rotate very well.

I also tried the big delay and weak side defense, but the effect is mediocre.

All in all, basically nothing.

Instead, one of Cousins ​​or Jokic can be removed, and Grant can be arranged to play, so that Cousins ​​or Jokic can be delayed in advance. Trouble, the effect is also general.

The key is to save face.

Regardless of whether Cousins ​​​​or Jokic is removed, the other will definitely have the negative impact of "delaying the legs at critical moments".

The main thing is that there will be comparisons, which Cousins ​​is more suitable than Jokic, and which Jokic is better than Cousins.

As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

Su Yang thought over and over again, looked up at the Kings generals who just returned to the bench, and said calmly: "The Warriors lineup is fast-paced, and we have to match the lineup. Next, Giannis will be the temporary fifth position. Covington As the [-]th position, Turner as the [-]rd position, the backcourt remains the same, we mostly use three-two defense on the defensive end, and the offensive end does not necessarily have to push fast breaks..."

After some arrangement, Jokic and Cousins ​​went off at the same time.

Anyway, it can't be solved for the time being, so I just pretend to be an ostrich to escape.

Of course, the king's new version of one big and four small lineups is also very strong.

If the probability of winning at the critical moment is high, it will be used as a roundabout solution for a long time until it is completely resolved.

The whistle for the end of the pause followed.

Turner and Covington put on their jerseys and prepared to go on the field, while Cousins ​​and Jokic sat down to rest. Both of them looked normal. After all, they were not replaced because of their poor defensive ability. The coach had no choice but to change his style. , everyone is the same.

There were boos everywhere, and Green continued to make free throws.

when!Smashing baskets and striking iron.

Cheers broke out, Antetokounmpo jumped to catch the rebound, landed and turned around and handed it to LaVine, and the King launched a counterattack.

The five-out formation starts, the left hand cooperates hand-in-hand, and Curry on the right uses the cover of Turner and Antetokounmpo to circle to the top of the arc, raises his hand to receive the pass from Covington, takes advantage of the situation and uses Covington to cover, throws Kai Klein chased, rushed to the left wing, and faced Durant in a dislocation.

Durant followed up quickly.

Curry failed to get a good shot space, so he simply lowered his center of gravity to hit the short corner, raised his hand and passed the ball long to the right bottom corner.

Antetokounmpo, who was underestimated again, received the ball openly, and Ezeli shot a three-pointer against Ezeli, who was flying to make up for the defense.

The sigh burst out suddenly.

But Ezeli jumped out to defend, Green stared at Covington from the three-point line, Durant faced Curry at the short corner, and Clay guarded LaVine at the 45-degree three-point line on the right without daring to let go. The two are Turner and Livingston, and the former has an advantage in the card position.

I saw Turner bent his knees and kicked off the ground, carried Livingston on his shoulders, grabbed the board with his right hand, bent his knees when he landed, and then got up again, hitting the rebound and tipping the basket to score.

102 to 104, the Kings are only 2 points behind.

Cheers erupted in the arena, Su Yang raised his hands and clapped his hands, wondering why Cole didn't play Iguodala, that is the Warriors' super killer weapon, so it's hard to be confident that they can win without five small players, or what? Do you have any special arrangements, wait for the time to show off?
While thinking about it, the Warriors counterattacked.

Didn't run tactics, just pass Durant directly.

For the first time, Kerr turned into Brooks at this moment, also turned into Tyronn Lue, and even turned into Nash, choosing to give the ball to the strongest player.

The intention was so obvious that it was only a matter of reminding the Kings players loudly that Turner decisively pressed close to him, and his movements were very fierce.

Between confrontations, Durant was forced to receive the ball in the right corner.

There is absolutely no room for manipulation.

It's like going back to the thunder era.

Ezeli hurried forward to respond, the basketball was passed to Green, who was wide open at the top of the arc, and there were only five seconds left in the attack time.

Green didn't think much, and raised his hand for a three-pointer.

The basketball bounced back with a clatter.

Antetokounmpo jumped up and caught the rebound, turned around and passed it to Curry, cheers erupted in the arena, and the King counterattacked.

The horn formation starts, Antetokounmpo lifts up on the right side to catch the ball, and Curry runs straight to the bottom corner after passing the ball, making a WIDE screen for LaVine. Unfortunately, LaVine just got rid of Livingston and is about to cut inside to catch the ball. Clay chose to switch defenses to catch up.

The first tactic did not run out.

Antetokounmpo turned around and dribbled the ball to the left, handed it to Turner, and set up a wall to form an arc top screen, delaying Durant.

The Warriors insisted on switching defenses, and Ezeli took the initiative to move laterally to intercept.

Seeing this, Turner immediately lowered his center of gravity and rushed, reached the basket in the blink of an eye, and made a layup, but actually stopped and retreated to make a mid-range shot.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

The Kings tied 104, and the Warriors requested a short timeout.

With 1 minute and 42 seconds left before the end of the game, the arena was full of cheers, and the Kings returned to the bench with smiles.

Both Jokic and Cousins ​​stood on the sidelines and waited for Curry and the five. The picture looked very loving, but it seemed very fragmented.

In the ESPN live broadcast seat, Van Gundy laughed and said: "It seems that Su Yang can't solve the pick-and-roll and cover problems caused by the presence of two center players at the same time, but the Kings are strong and can use five small lineups, and the misalignment of Giannis and Covington can be solved. "

Mark Jackson answered: "I think this is a kind of escape. With Turner and Covington in this game, we can rotate in this way at critical moments, but next season, the salary cap will rise sharply, and both Covington and Turner need to be re-signed. Can the contract keep two people at the same time?"

There was a brief pause between the conversations.

The live announcer announced loudly that the Warriors Iguodala replaced Livingston, and Ezeli stayed on the field as a center.

The game continues.

The Warriors kicked off the ball from the center line, shifted from right to left, pretended to run for a few laps, and finally Durant used the cover to move up.

Su Yang laughed on the spot and thought: Everyone laughs at Coach Brooks, who always arranges for Durant to pick up and catch the ball, but it’s the same with Cole. There’s really no way, Durant is too good , Running tactics are nothing more than saving energy.

I saw Durant catching the ball and turning around, Xiaomai kicked off the ground in two steps, raised his legs to separate Brother Antetokounmpo, and at least shot an arrow.

The basketball slammed into the circle and into the net, 104 to 106.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

The Kings made five outside shots, and the Warriors switched defenses continuously.

After tossing around a lot and not running out of space, Curry singled out Durant and almost lost the ball, and finally played a fake hand with Brother Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo caught the ball and made a pass back to Curry to shoot a three-pointer, but he turned around and attacked the basket directly. However, the Warriors will shrink ahead of time.

Fortunately, Turner got a wide open. Although Turner's three-pointers are average, there is nothing wrong with choosing to pass at this moment.

Antetokounmpo quickly raised his hand, but the referee blew his whistle and called Greena's jersey foul in advance, and the Kings kicked off again.

"Green made a good foul!"

Su Yang praised casually, got up and waved at the kings and generals in the field, and arranged a series of BOX tactics.

The sideline ball is especially suitable for hitting the BOX box series. From ancient times to the present, dozens of variations have evolved.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Warriors made adjustments, replacing Ezeli with Barnes, and finally put on a pure five-minor lineup.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the referee whistled the ball to time it.

The Kings players run synchronously on the court, and the basketball circles from left to right and is passed to Curry in the corner on the right.

Antetokounmpo stepped forward to pick and roll.

Green and Clay double-teamed without hesitation, Curry hurriedly hit the ground and passed the ball, and Barnes in the left corner hurriedly made up.

To be honest, the North Carolina Blackhawk Barnes is not bad.

But when meeting Brother Antetokounmpo, it was really a big difference.

I saw that Antetokounmpo took a step forward, aimed at the basket and made a strong dunk, and the whole person hit Barnes who was defending.

The basketball clattered into the net, and the cheers in the Golden One Center exploded. There were 54.5 seconds left in the game.

The score was tied again.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

The Warriors didn't call a timeout, and Clay ran across the center line with the ball, passed it to Iguodala on the right sideline, turned around and went straight inside.

The basketball shifted from right to left. Green held the ball and made three threats for a while, and then passed to Durant who was raised with the help of a lower screen.

But this time, Durant was just a cover.

At the moment he held the ball, Clay entered the inside early, used Barnes and Iguodala to cover continuously, got rid of LaVine and Covington and went to the right sideline, misplaced and faced Curry who was forced to switch defenses, Taking advantage of the body, the basketball flew into Clay's hands.

In the blink of an eye, Curry jumped up to block the shot.

Bark!The sound of the basketball rubbing against the fingertips sounded.

Curry's interference was a big success!
After all, the physical test bounce is at the same level as Griffin!
The trajectory of the basketball's force changes, and there are three non-sticks.

Antetokounmpo hugged the basketball, and with 37.5 seconds left before the end of the game, Su Yang waved his hand to signal to attack directly.

The timeout restructuring leaves only 1 timeout left for the Kings and Warriors, which must be reserved for the most critical moment. There is no way.

The audience stood up and stared.

The king's horn formation started, deliberately pressing the rhythm.

Antetokounmpo and Turner landed on the left and right elbows respectively, and Covington and LaVine landed on the left and right bottom corners respectively.

Curry dribbled the ball just past the center line, Turner stepped sideways, set up a wall to block Green, and Alphabet took the opportunity to run to the top of the arc.

"Left! Watch out for the slip! This is the RAM SLIP series of tactics..." the old king's general Green shouted to remind him.

Clay subconsciously moved half a body to the left.

That thought, Antetokounmpo made an emergency stop midway, turned and changed direction, ran to Clay's right hand, and set up a wall to form a cover.

Curry immediately pulled the ball and started to break through. Although there was only a moment, Clay was unable to form a defense for the time being, and Green also missed.

Iguodala rushed forward to make up the defense, but Curry saw this, raised his hand and threw the ball to Turner who turned and cut inside to attack the basket.

Barnes hurriedly double-teamed from the right corner, but Turner raised his hand to split again, and LaVine caught the ball in a small open and made a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Kings led 109 to 106, and with 17.4 seconds left in the game, the Warriors requested a long timeout.

In the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy said helplessly: "Mark, have you seen the arrogant smile on Su Yang's face? He seems to be saying, 'Although I can't solve the problems of inside pick-and-roll defense and screens, I can still win. And to win against the so-called No. [-] team in the combat power list', that would be disgusting, but I have to admit that the king's lineup is small and Gay and Green are still strong!"

Jackson shrugged: "Then I may need to change the saying, he is not evading, but optimizing the use of resource allocation..."

The on-court timeout ended, and the Warriors kicked off from the left sideline of the frontcourt.

Su Yang chose to remove Curry and LaVine, and arranged for Bazemore and Grant to appear on the field, which is regarded as the strongest defense.

The scene was booed and interfered, and the five Warriors ran around. Facing the Kings, they changed defenses infinitely, and the basketball was barely handed over to Durant.

The King decisively gave a breakthrough and did not give a three-pointer. Durant made a strong three-pointer against Antetokounmpo's defense, and the basketball slammed like iron.

Bazemore rushed to get a defensive rebound with 2.8 seconds left. The Warriors didn't foul and chose not to play.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and the Kings beat the Warriors 109-106 for their first win of the season.
