NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 15 Too Ahead of Time
He wouldn't want to throw a [-] in that place, would he?
It can't be so outrageous, can it?
Duncan just thought of such a possibility in his mind, and before he stepped forward to interfere, he saw Curry directly shot.

Two steps away from the three-point line?

There is a question in everyone's mind.

Does Curry think this is a practice game?

No, even the training coaches would not allow players to use such useless things. Three-pointers are inherently unstable, let alone such a long three-pointer.

however.

brush!
The ball hits the basket directly.

Spurs 2:3 Warriors.

Immediately, the audience was in an uproar.

Is this a trick?
Not only the audience was dumbfounded, but also the players on the scene, and Popovich next to him were dumbfounded.

"Who will tell me that this is G7 of the playoffs, not his own back garden?"

O'Neill looked stunned.

"He never thought about whether not scoring such a goal would hurt the morale of the team. The coach will definitely not allow him to play."

Charles Barkley also shook his head. Although he scored, he did not recognize the goal.

"Is there a possibility. This ball was arranged by the head coach of the Warriors."

Kenny Smith observed more delicately.

He saw that everyone was surprised, but Su Chen, who was in front of the Warriors' bench, stood in front with a calm face.

At the same time, he nodded slightly, seeming to approve of this behavior very much.

"Haha, I don't know what to say. This game may be different from the tiebreaker we watched before."

Johnson said with a smile.

Compared with O'Neal and Barkley's dislike of the Warriors' three-point tactics and Kenny Smith's support for them, Johnson is actually more neutral.

In other words, if you put it on the wall, support whichever side has the highest support rate.

Not far from Su Chen, Popovich naturally discovered this scene.

How dare he?
In fact, Su Chen is not as calm as they said.

He was also more nervous.

He learned a few days ago that Curry has actually been training this kind of ultra-long-range three-pointer, but Mark Jackson didn't let him shoot this kind of three-pointer.

In Mark Jackson's view, Curry should use his three-point threat to better break through the series organization.

This skill Curry has always maintained his touch, and he only used it occasionally in the regular season, but it was basically a throw-in shot within two or three seconds of the offensive time.

According to Curry himself, even then the shooting percentage is not bad.

Su Chen decided to design some ultra-long-range three-point tactics and difficult three-point tactics for Curry.

Don't look at Thompson's good shots, but Su Chen knows that if there is no Curry to attract enough defense.

Thompson will be locked by the opponent just by running without the ball for a long time.

In fact, the Warriors system is relatively gravitational. Only when Curry is threatening enough can the Warriors' system be able to reflect its power.

Spurs bout.

Although they were hit with a super long three-pointer just now, the Spurs generals did not panic, and they still played tactics in an orderly manner.

This time, Parker held the ball and called a pick-and-roll. After Splitter gave Parker a pick-and-roll, he cut to the inside.

The Warriors' defense shrank very quickly this time because they were just cut inside by Split.

But it is contraction, allowing Duncan to get an open jumper at the 45° mid-range position on the right.

Mr. Big Fundamental Skills is still stable.

The CIC made a steady hit.

Spurs 4:3 Warriors.

In the subsequent Warriors round, taking advantage of the Spurs' failure to respond to the ultra-long three-pointer, the Warriors played another ultra-long three-pointer.

The Warriors still didn't react this time, but Curry missed the ball a little and missed the shot.

Duncan received the rebound.

Didn't make a shot or didn't make a shot, but Popovich felt a little upset when he saw this scene.

Because the ball just missed a little bit, if it didn't miss that point, it would have scored again.

Another Spurs round.

There was no chance to run out of this tactic. Facing Curry's defense, Parker directly chose a mid-range shot.

clang!
strike iron.

The Warriors didn't have a chance to push a fast break, and still chose to run a three-pointer.

Popovich scowled, watching from the sidelines.

This time Curry borrowed a pick-and-roll from Bogut. Instead of choosing a super long three-pointer, he chose a drifting three-pointer.

Even without defensive interference, Curry's shot is too difficult.

The ball rolled around the rim and went in anyway.

Spurs 4:6 Warriors.

Popovich was a little overwhelmed.

The Spurs players are also a little confused, no team in the league plays like this.

However, Popovich did not call a timeout, and the game continued.

I don't know if it was affected by the ultra-long three-pointer and the difficult three-pointer. This time the Spurs didn't play out their tactics.

The ball can only be handed over to Duncan.

Duncan ran out of time when he received the ball, so he rushed to the basket and forced a shot.

Bogut is thick and heavy, and he can still withstand Duncan's impact. In addition, Green interfered with Duncan's forced shot and missed.

Not only that, Draymond Green immediately made a long swing after receiving the rebound.

Curry received a pass from Draymond Green, dribbled twice, and stopped the ball directly beyond the three-point line.

Curry scored two three-pointers just now, and Leonard and Danny Green rushed towards Curry.

And the coaching staff also said that the Warriors team should pay special attention to three-pointers in the fast break. They are not the traditional fast break team.

But Curry made a fake pass to Richard Jefferson who cut in from the other side.

Richard Jefferson faced the basket with only Parker returning to the defense, he had already charged up, and when he rushed up, he dunked!

Parker was already out of position. He and Richard Jefferson have a big gap in size. They may not be able to pull down and they are easy to be hit 2+1.

Parker just symbolically extended his hand towards the ball, and after making sure that he couldn't interfere with the basketball, he took his hand back to avoid being whistled.

boom!
Richard Jefferson dunks.

Spurs 4:8 Warriors.

Regardless of Richard Jefferson's age, dunking an empty basket is still not a problem, even after three years, he can still dunk.

After the dunk, Richard Jefferson roared.

It directly excited the Warriors' bench, waving the towel and roaring to show their muscles.

beep!
When Popovich saw that the opponent was on the rise as soon as the game started, he called a timeout.

Popovich, who got up and took the tactics, had a rather unsightly face, the kind who would vent his anger at any time.

On the contrary, the Warriors.

After the timeout whistle sounded, the Warriors' substitutes got up and walked directly to the court.

Veteran Richard Jefferson was high-fived by the bench.

Su Chen smiled slightly.

I have to say that in this era, the effect of dunking the audience is very intuitive.

But after the Warriors' three-pointers are connected in a row, those difficult three-pointers can also stimulate people's adrenaline.
