I'm a big shot in basketball

Hearing Su Yang's words, all the warriors nodded in unison.

The playoffs ignore the underdogs. The other seven teams in the West, except for the Timberwolves, the Warriors have all lost at least one game.

It can only be said that Garnett is indeed a teammate in the CBA.

As for the first-round opponent, the Trail Blazers, with two explosive kills at the end of the regular season, even if the opponent is an idiot, he will definitely make changes.

Su Yang is more worried that the head coach of the Blazers, Maurice Cheeks, suddenly became enlightened. He removed Pippen and Chris Anderson from the starting lineup to improve his defensive strength, and let the flying mouse and Randolph start to improve his offensive strength, and then fought desperately. Rebounding and blocking long passes allow the Warriors to play in a small area. It is difficult to play normal tactical arrangements. Even if they win, they consume a lot of energy.

That was almost 0 to 3 behind the Mavericks' play, which fully proves the dependence of basketball on physical talent.

Therefore, when playing against the Blazers, we must pursue quick wins, and try to resolve the battle within 5 games, so as not to let the Blazers find confidence.

make up one's mind,

The Warriors started training with the whole team, mainly aiming at the characteristics of the Blazers' frontline group with more steals and faster rotation, so as to prevent the Blazers from playing the third level in the league with an average of 8.8 steals per game, especially Billups and Yao's pick-and-roll pick-and-roll when.

"In a general sense, forwards beat guards, guards beat centers, centers beat forwards, and the Blazers are a strong forward team. They have Rasheed, Bunch? Wells, Derek? Anderson, Ruben? Patterson, Randolph and Pippen,

It seems that we should focus on playing inside and let the center suppress the strikers. After all, we have BIGYAO.

But the Blazers are very good at protecting the inside line. From the data point of view, the rebounds they conceded rank second to last in the league, and the free throws they made rank the last in the league. They continue the good tradition before. In the Western Conference Finals, it was difficult for O'Neal to catch the ball at the peak. The Lakers trailed by 00 points in the fourth quarter of the tiebreaker and almost won.

I didn't mean to belittle Yao as inferior to the peak O'Neal, nor did I question Billups and Prince's ability to pass the ball. It's just that we don't let the Blazers take advantage of their strengths. We want the Blazers to lose because they can't keep up.

Their main Anderson and Pippen are veterans, Bunch? Wells is not a good off-ball defender.

We need to actively protect the rebounds through early blocking and anticipation, and don’t let the Blazers have too many second-attack opportunities. We need to take advantage of the Blazers’ weaknesses and win in only 4 games. Don’t give the Blazers confidence…"

Su Yang himself expected 5 games in his mind, and told the players that it would be 4 games. If he can get it, he only hates the reform of the first round of the competition. If it was last year, he would only need 3 games to think about the next round. Anyway, everyone The longer Yao Na puts on weight, the easier it is to change.

"We have to play a lot of Iverson cross-cutting screens, cooperate with weak-side cross-screening, form Hammer tactics, or start low-post support + high-post crossover, or ZOOM coordination, etc. In short, it is a lot of strong and weak transfers, a lot of running. , consuming the energy and concentration of the Trail Blazers strikers, making it impossible for them to enter the familiar rhythm of the game..."

While the Warriors were training, various media were discussing the playoffs.

ESPN’s first live broadcast, specially invited 13 commentators to make predictions. It’s the Warriors’ turn to play against the Trail Blazers. It is generally believed that the Warriors need seven games to advance. The main reason is that the Lakers, who won three consecutive championships last year, played against the Trail Blazers in the first round. 16 points.

Rookie commentator Kevin Pelton commented: "Yao Ming will meet his idol Sabonis and encounter all-round restrictions. Although Sabonis averaged only 15 minutes per game this season, it is enough to make Yao Ming feel uncomfortable at critical moments. .”

Well-known A? Smith commented: "I don't understand tactics, and I don't understand rotation, but I know that the Warriors don't have that kind of winning mentality. At the end of the regular season, they gave up the chance to hit 70 wins, obviously intending to lose to the Mavericks and the Lakers , Forcibly put the Spurs and Mavericks at 23, and the Kings and Lakers at 45. They are picking their opponents, and they are afraid of facing the Mavericks in the second round.

That kind of mentality is difficult to fight tough battles. Even if they can beat the Blazers, it will only be because of home court advantage. "

Temporary commentator John Hollinger commented: "From the data analysis point of view, the Warriors who are good at making fouls are difficult to play against the Trail Blazers who rarely foul and are the last in the league in free throws. Billups is good at making fouls In addition, Yao Ming and Marshall's two starters have weak rebounds, and they encounter Dell Davis who is very fierce in offensive rebounds..."

Among the hot discussions, the NO.19 match day is here.

Su Yang arrived at the Oracle Center at 13:12 p.m., arranged warm-up training as usual, and then accepted a pre-match interview with reporters. Talking about the [-] commentators on ESPN, [-] of them thought that the Warriors would need seven games to beat the Blazers to advance, and laughed outright. .

"I'm happy to see ESPN making progress,

They predicted last year that we could only win 38 wins and 44 losses in the whole season, and we ended up with 67 wins and 15 losses, which proved that only 0.5 of them knew the ball.

However, we will once again prove that all ESPN commentators combined, there are only 0.5 people who understand the ball..."

Turning to the pre-match ceremony at six o'clock, more than 7000 fans in the audience wore yellow T-shirts to support, and accompanied the Warriors players on the field, shouting the slogan "webelieve we believe" in unison. The momentum is as strong as a [-]-meter-high tsunami like that.

Beyonce deliberately took time out to fly to lead the singing of the national anthem, hugged Su Yang and left in a hurry to continue working on the album.

Accompanied by the sound of the long whistle, the two teams entered the field first.

For the Trail Blazers, the point guard is Derek Anderson with a height of 196, the shooting guard is Bunch Wells with a height of 196, the small forward is Pippen with a height of 203, the power forward is Wallace with a height of 208, and the center is Dell with a height of 211. Davis, with an average height of 202 centimeters, looks particularly good at blocking passes and grabbing rebounds as a whole. He also wears a red and white jersey, which is a bit oppressive.

Su Yang was delighted to see it,

As long as Pippen and Anderson start, then everything is easy to say, the Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks has not yet figured it out.

The announcer yells for a jump ball, and the referee flicks it at the same time.

The Blazers won the jump ball, Wells caught the ball and asked Rasheed to play a pick-and-roll, carried Posey's defense and rushed to make an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot. However, Yao was stuck in the position and did not touch Dell. The rebound was allocated, and Wells Just in time to get it, the Blazers reorganized their offense.

At the beginning, ESPN commentator Hollinger's rebounding shortcomings were revealed. Van Gundy joked that he was lucky that he was not included in the ranks of ESPN commentators by Su Yang, but the Warriors' rebounding problem really needs to be solved, and they are weak among top teams.

The Blazers reorganized and still played pick-and-roll, but Anderson couldn't break through Bilu and was forced to pass to Rasheed to shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball rebounded with a bang, Prince grabbed the rebound and pushed for a fast break, but Pippen bumped his shoulder and fell down, obviously on purpose.

The referee blew the whistle and gave a technical foul. Pippen chewed gum with his hands on his hips, and seemed very satisfied with the penalty.

Su Yang saw it, and thought that Pippen's operation was nothing more than conveying a tough, even fierce attitude of the Blazers, trying to intimidate the Warriors and gain a psychological advantage, but Pippen didn't know that Prinsby The appearance is a hundred thousand times tougher.

Temporarily handing over free throws for technical fouls to Prince also shows an attitude, and by the way, accumulates touch for Prince.

Su Yang took the lead in applauding Prince after scoring a hollow goal with a penalty, followed by cheers from all the fans.

The Warriors kicked off from the backcourt and continued to attack. Billew asked Marshall to play a pick-and-roll, rushed to the right to attract Pippen's help defense, and immediately passed the ball to Prince in the right corner. Returning to defense slowly, he hit a three-pointer steadily.

The offense and defense are switched accordingly,

The Blazers still focused on the pick-and-rolls of Wells and Rasheed, but Posey grabbed positions in advance and did not suffer from physical confrontation. Wells had no hope of breaking through and could only pass the ball back, while Anderson received the ball and reorganized. There was not much left, and in the end it was handed over to Pippen to force Pulis on the right waist, but he couldn't stand it at all, so he had to bite the bullet and turn around and shoot a jumper.

The Warriors grabbed the rebound and counterattacked,

Bilu passed the ball across the half court and ran from left to right. Iverson made a cross-cut transfer and re-received the ball at 45 degrees to find Marshall to play a pick-and-roll. He easily reached the inside and successfully attracted Dell Davis in the left elbow area Make up the defense, and Yao also screens for Posey.

Posey took the opportunity to get rid of Wells from the left 45 degrees and rushed to the left corner, and received a pass from Billups to form a hammer hammer tactical cooperation. He raised his hand and made a wide-open three-pointer, which was also hollow into the net. Help the Warriors lead 7-0.

Easy side Blazers offense,

Derek Anderson asked Dale Davis to play a quick pick-and-roll, trying to charge the slow-moving Dayao, but Billups chose to bypass the screen to intercept. Relying on his decent shooting percentage, he raised his hand It was a three-pointer, and the result was a bang.

Dayao rushed to grab the rebound, but was knocked down by Dale Davis from behind, and the referee whistled for a technical foul.

All the Blazers did not protest, it was obviously intentional, trying to convey a tough and even fierce attitude just like Pippen, but it is a pity that Dayao is also the kind of person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, not afraid or caught in the upper hand at all, just looking out for himself A technical foul free throw is administered.

Still hitting steadily, the Warriors led 8-0.

Then he kicked off the ball from the backcourt, skillfully played a trailing screen with a delay in position, and successfully deceived Rasheed Wallace with Yao rushing to the basket to "try to save face from Dale Davis" as the bait With the attention of the Warriors, Marshall followed up with an open three-pointer.

The basketball bounced into the net with a bang.

The Warriors led 11 to 0. In just 2 minutes and 19 seconds, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Cheeks, felt numb.

In the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy Jr. laughed.

"Before the game, many people predicted that the Warriors would focus on Yao Ming and then encounter interference from the Blazers' strikers, but Su Yang didn't do that. He made two strong and weak shifts, one delayed position, and made three consecutive three-pointers in the opening game. Those who failed to take advantage of the striker group's rotation defense and assistance defense, maybe Su Yang said before that he would once again prove that 0.5 people understand the ball..."
