The invincible kryptonite of basketball

So to deal with the five minors, the most important thing is to suppress the speed of the Warriors, as they did in the first half of the second game.

Then the necessary point based on this is that Jokic cannot enter the inside.

Jokic is the slowest player in the regular lineup of the Pelicans. If he wants to keep up with the defensive speed, he must not go inside.

In this way, he can at least guard against Green.

The rest of Holiday and Ariza defend Curry and Thompson, and they can't press too far forward.

After analyzing the details one by one, Tang Tian came up with the only way for the Pelicans to play.

Jokic holds the ball at the top of the arc, Holiday is outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left or right, Ariza creates space in the two bottom corners, and he and Davis directly sink low singles.

This formation can expand the space, limit the Warriors' defense rotation as much as possible, and maximize the efficiency of low-post offense;

More importantly, the retreat speed of this formation will be very fast, which can convert the offense and defense that the Warriors are best at into restrictions.

Of course, this kind of detailed strategy, such as who will rush for the rebound after the offense misses and who will retreat to the defense, needs to be further improved.

But at least that's the way.

Back in New Orleans the next day, Williams arranged a closed daily practice.

The morale of the players is not high, even the head coach Williams is also frowning.

It can be seen that the current situation of the team is really bad.

After the training, Tang Tian chatted with Williams about his new ideas in the office.

Williams was very excited after hearing it. Although he is not very good at tactics, he is not stupid.

And he's always been a coach who's open to advice.

In the second day's training session, Williams arranged relevant training.

The morale of the team has obviously picked up.

The Pelicans made it to the Western Conference Finals, and they made it through a 1-3 reversal. The players' hearts have grown a lot.

The low is because there is nothing to do. Now that there is a way, the morale will naturally return.

And Dempsey and Lausha also came to the team at the right time to give the players a wave of encouragement.

Although it is impossible for morale to return to before the start of the series, it is enough.

After a day and a half of training, the effect is very good.

This is not a systematic tactic, just some adjustments in details, and there is time.

That night, Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Pelicans kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

The arena was packed.

After a 1-3 reversal, New Orleans fans enthusiastically supported the Pelicans.

1 to 3 behind can be reversed, 0 to 2 is nothing!

The Big Three of TNT once again appeared in the arena commentary booth.

This year TNT contracted all the commentary tasks for the playoffs, and the appearance rate of the Big Three is very high.

"I like that Draymond guy, the feeling that you can't beat me and you can only watch me pretend to be X."

Barkley took his stance to the surface early in the game.

Although it feels good to join O'Neal to win, this way has always made him uncomfortable.

So whenever he has a chance, he still wants to beat O'Neal once in a fair manner.

After all, he is TNT's top card.

"So you think the Pelicans can't win a game?"

O'Neill asked directly.

"What do you think they win? Don't tell me at home, the Warriors haven't lost in the playoffs yet!"

Barkley is really big-mouthed, and he doesn't leave room for himself at all.

"Okay, okay, I knew you would say that, Kenny, tell me."

O'Neill was used to Barkley's look like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, so he turned to Smith and asked.

"If the Pelicans don't respond well enough, it's really hard for them to win."

Smith is the most cautious and professional among the three, but he is still optimistic about the Warriors this time.

"Look, Shaq, unless you join me and Kenny this time, you're doomed!"

Barkley was all smiles.

O'Neal laughed too.

He didn't refute Barkley anymore, because reason told him that it was really difficult for the Pelicans to win.

This Warriors team really peaked his basketball cognition. In his subconscious mind, it is impossible to win the NBA championship by shooting alone, but the Warriors changed his view a little bit.

The game is about to start, and players from both sides have come to the stadium one after another.

Before warming up, the players of the Pelicans chanted slogans together for a while.

Their morale looks good.

When O'Neill saw this, he felt a little more confident.

He recalls the Pelicans winning several of their morale-boosting games, no matter how difficult the situation.

This is a positive sign.

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and both sides used regular lineups.

Although the last game was won by five players, Cole still seems to have confidence in his regular lineup.

Bogut beat Davis and officially kicked off Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals.

The morale of the Pelicans is good, and they did a good job defending as soon as they came up.

Thompson's final three-pointer was interfered, Davis scored a defensive rebound, and the Pelicans successfully defended against the Warriors' attack.

Holiday took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Jokic, and the rest of the Pelicans settled down one after another.

At this time, everyone saw the tactical change of the Pelicans.

The ball was finally given to Davis, the Warriors contracted, Davis returned the ball to Holiday, Curry went back, and Holiday gave it in again.

Davis turned around and quickly hit Green after receiving the ball for the second time.

The Warriors' five small players can gain a foothold, and Green's defense is key.

Now there is no fifth player on the court, but his ability to stand up to others is still there.

However, Davis's singles is not the kind of hard resistance, but elegant.

He turned to the baseline and shot straight back.

"Shh!"

The ball's parabola is high, but it still falls firmly into the net bag.

The Pelicans take the lead!

Chapter 700 Tactics work (third update!)

The scene was shown to Cole, and Cole sat firmly on Mount Tai, without much emotional change.

The Warriors' offense, Curry's outside three-pointer continued the series' excellent touch, directly piercing the net.

No matter how aggressive the Pelicans' defense is, it will be difficult to completely limit the Warriors' offense.

The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc. After Tang Tian and Davis were both in position, he gave the ball to Tang Tian this time.

This is Davis playing Tang Tian!

Tang Tian's defensive intensity was not at the same level as Davis', and Green double-teamed him directly.

Tang Tian's reaction was also quick. Seeing Green approaching, he threw the ball directly over the basket.

Davis and Tang Tian played together for two seasons with a tacit understanding. He had already moved inside before seeing Tang Tian throw the ball.

When Tang Tian threw the ball, he also jumped up.

When the ball arrived, he held the ball with his right hand and smashed the ball directly into the basket.

It came from the lob cooperation between Tang Tian and Davis.

There were bursts of cheers.

The Pelicans scored two consecutive rounds in the opening game!

And the Warriors don't seem to have much to do with this new move of the Pelicans!

Curry's breakthrough layup was interfered by Davis and missed the basket, and Jokic protected the defensive rebound.

Holiday was not in a hurry after getting the ball, he dribbled the ball steadily to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic continued to give the ball to Tang Tian.

The Warriors had exchanges on the defensive end, and this time it was Bogut who shrunk in.

Tang Tian didn't wait for Bogut to double-team him, and turned around to the bottom line and leaned back.

The Warriors' defense is fast, and Tang Tian's offense is also fast.

This is completely a direct duel at the highest level.

"Dangdang!"

However, he missed the ball, and Thompson's defensive interference was well done.

Bogut just turned around to protect the defensive rebound.

The Warriors ran fast across the board, getting straight into their best rhythm.

But their offensive and defensive transition failed to fight this time.

Curry and Thompson were already defended by Holiday and Ariza when they attacked the frontcourt.

In fact, when Tang Tian shot, Jokic, Holiday and Ariza had already retreated first, and only Davis was rushing to the offensive rebound.

Although the offensive rebounds did not rush, the Pelicans' defense was completed immediately.

That's the detail, and the Pelicans handle it perfectly.

"They found a way!"

Barkley in the commentary seat couldn't help exclaiming.

After the last game, Williams was questioned a lot by the outside world, but the adjustment in this game is impressive.

The Warriors' offensive and defensive transition did not start, so they could only play positions again.

This time they used infinite air cuts, and Thompson misplaced a three-pointer against Jokic.

"Shh!"

He made his second [-]-point attempt.

After staying in the Hard Training Brothers training camp for so long, his three-point shooting stability is already the top in the league.

Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and he continued to feed the ball to Davis.

This is Tang Tian's fight, Davis' fight!

Davis turned to the baseline and then turned around, using his body to press down on Green's close-range scoring.

Davis has succeeded in two consecutive singles against Green, and his touch tonight looks very good.

6 to 6, the two teams played for 2 minutes at the beginning, and they played evenly.

The Pelicans' tactics worked!

Barnes missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the Pelicans pressed the rhythm to the frontcourt. This time Tang Tian double-teamed the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc, and Jokic made a three-pointer.
