Chapter 280 G2
In the second half, the 76ers changed the defensive positioning that had been insisted on in the first and first half.

Let Brogdon, who was guarding Thompson, switch to guarding Curry, and Tatum, who guarded Durant, switched to defending Thompson who only scored a three-pointer in the first half. Richardson, who couldn't guard Curry, was placed behind another Durant who couldn't guard.

Young and Embiid have not changed in any way, and are still responsible for Green and McGee's offense.

Defense Expansion + Partial Defense
In response to Stephen Curry's super high shot in the second quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers' defensive position at the beginning of the third quarter was much higher than that in the first and second quarters
Unlimited switch
After Stephen Curry scored 16 points and Kevin Durant scored 14 points, they led the Golden State Warriors by an absolute advantage.

Monty Williams gave up the plan and advance arrangement of flanking, he chose to continue to believe in unlimited defense;

From the beginning of the third quarter, it can be seen that the frequency of flanking attacks has dropped significantly;

After all, the superstar has already started on the offensive end, and you can't let others start on the offensive end, then the team's defense will not be able to stand it.

After talking about the changes of the 76ers on the defensive end, let’s talk about the defense of the Golden State Warriors

The man who was typing to ask for manuscripts from the media returned the review video that had been placed at the beginning of the third quarter to when Stephen Curry hit a three-pointer over Sabonis Jr.'s head.

While the Golden State Warriors had already made changes in the first half, they made deep changes in the second half based on the changes.

Although Steve Kerr's on-the-spot reaction was really slow, defensive assistant Ron Adams was still following the team and gave the Warriors a defensive solution in the middle of the second quarter

Whenever the pick-and-roll is initiated (back body), pinch the ball to force the ball out and challenge high-speed rotation

Defensive assistant Ron Adams' placement in

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant, Green
Obvious results have been achieved with the support and efforts of the unique small lineup
After Tatum made a three-pointer against Iguodala's defense, the Philadelphia 76ers only scored 7 points in the remaining nearly 13 minutes of the second quarter.

At the end of halftime, they successfully got the biggest lead of the game by 3 points.

Going back to the change again at the beginning of the third quarter,

Added back the defensive upside delay that was removed in Game [-] of the Finals.

To win G2, Monty Williams made some fitting changes:

Reduce the length and timing of rotations

Different from putting Sabonis Jr. on the court in the first half, let Embiid and Young get a full rest

In the second half, even if Young and Siakam took all of Embiid's rest time

Monty Williams didn't give Sabonis Jr. 1 minute
It's not just Sabonis Jr., rotation regulars Burks and Jeff Green didn't get playing time

Even the organizer's McConnell only got 1 minute and 27 seconds of filling time at the end of the third quarter.

The only rotation players who got stable playing time in the second half were Siakam and Van Vleet
Both have flaws offensively
A bad range can't reach beyond the three-point line, and can only score near the basket
One can't get into the basket, can't tear the defense line and the penalty area, and doesn't shoot much in the middle distance

But both have the same advantages:
He is always full of defensive will, willing to give 1000% defensive energy contribution, and will not give up defense because of the smooth attack.

You will not be discouraged when you are shot by your opponent, and you can use whatever strength of defense you should use next time
The two also repaid Monty Williams' trust with actual performance:
Siakam had 20 defensive rebounds, 6 steals and 2 block in 1 minutes of playing time

The basic data is not very eye-catching, what is eye-catching is the aspect that the basic data does not reflect
5 three-point interferences, in the 18 minutes of playing time in the second half, ranked third on the team after Tatum, who defended Durant first and then Thompson

And Embiid, who was behind Green many times in the second half
Since Durant didn't take a three-point shot in the second half, Richardson, who guarded Stephen Curry in the first half, only ranked fifth in the team in three-point interference

Frame protection 4 times, 2 successes

Although Siakam did not protect the frame many times, his efficiency was not too top-notch.
But he also successfully completed the task, and survived the 4 minutes of Embiid's rest.

VanVleet is a better defense against Stephen Curry than Richardson
Unlike Richardson and Brogdon, who are 1 meters tall and oversized, Van Vleet, who is 98 meters tall, is more suitable for Curry
Even if Van Vleet didn't defend well in the second half, Curry, who only scored 16 points in the first half, made it difficult.20 points in the second half,
But the process is what Monty Williams is happy with

Stephen Curry, who had 7 backcourt rebounds in the last game, only had 4 backcourt rebounds in this game

Curry's inability to get backcourt rebounds is beneficial to the Philadelphia 76ers' defense.

The most obvious display of the advantage is that the offensive rhythm of the Golden State Warriors has been lowered, and the number of rounds in the second game has dropped by 15 rounds compared with the first game.

Even if Iguodala and Green scored 12 rebounds and tried their best to bring the rhythm up, the scoring dropped a lot

At the end of the G2 game, neither team had a total of 100 points.

Proper defensive setup robs Golden State of scoring explosiveness
The strategy of expanding defense beyond the three-point line + leading defense

Still can't stop Stephen Curry from hitting 3 3s

但其他人看住了，汤普森4中0，伊戈达拉2中1，格林1中0，尼克杨2中0
Without explosive support from the [-]-point line, Golden State is stuck in a defense-miss-turnover-every ball counts battle.

The third point is derived from the battle of tough battles. When it’s time to fight hard, believe in tough battles, and never play team basketball to let your team’s unforced errors increase rapidly.

Embiid: 11/25 shots, 0/1 three-pointers, 8/9 free throws, 30 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal, 3 turnovers
Tatum: 10/25 shots, 2/7 three-pointers, 5/5 free throws, 27 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 steal, 2 turnovers
.

Young: 8/20 shots, 2/7 three-pointers, 7/7 free throws, 25 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 block, 1 steal, 2 turnovers
Embiid, Tatum, and Young scored 76 of the 99ers' total 82 points and took 80% of their shots.
In contrast to the Golden State Warriors,

Stephen Curry's 36 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists
Kevin Durant 32 points, 7 rebounds, 0 assists
Both of them maintained a true shooting percentage of about 68%, but the Golden State Warriors only had Iguodala who scored 12 points under the two.
There is no way to resist this kind of firepower. The Philadelphia 76ers' three-line full-fire positional warfare

…………

…………

For Game 3, the Golden State Warriors must consider the following:

The off-ball movement lost in the second half of G2 must be recovered. Klay Thompson's performance is related to the lifeline of the Golden State Warriors
For the first time in the Durant era, he fell behind 0 to 2. It is necessary to reconsider whether McGee must be the starting center on the court.

Does Rooney, who had the best performance among the centers in the last round, believe it honestly?

3: If you want to drag into positional warfare, then the rotation needs to be cut off. This 11-man rotation is too long
"It's 2191 words, OK, Ok, today's update task is finally over." After looking at the word count, the man who was typing chose to stop here and not continue.
