NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 3 Green, do you believe in yourself?

Just take a three-pointer directly?

Who plays fast break like this.

To be honest, Su Chen is also a little nervous now, and his tactics are smooth and good.

But the player's ability and touch will also affect the effect of tactics.

Klay Thompson is now in his third year, but his three-point shooting percentage has reached 41.7%, which is far ahead of the league average.

Curry has entered the league for the fifth year and has just entered the beginning of the peak of his career. It can be said that the shooting level of the Splash Brothers has matured.

Now I just have to believe it!

Su Chen clenched his fists. As Mr. Thompson scored 37 points in a single quarter, there is no doubt about his explosive power.

brush!
Basketball hollow into the net.

This kind of three-pointer that is not too difficult, Thompson still firmly grasped it.

Spurs 83:71 Warriors.

In a short period of time, the Warriors scored 6-0 all of a sudden.

The point difference of 18 points was suddenly pulled to 12 points.

This is the charm of the small ball king combination. Although Curry is too tired this time, just Thompson's performance is shocking enough.

The AT&T Center Arena was suddenly silenced.

The defense that the Spurs are proud of was caught off guard by tactics from ten years later.

Thompson stretched out three fingers to celebrate, with a stern expression and determination in his eyes. These two three-pointers immediately brought up the momentum.

beep!
Popovich called a timeout, his face not looking good.

Thompson returned to the bench, and everyone gave him high fives. The atmosphere of the entire bench was in stark contrast to the silence just now.

Green was also extremely excited. Thompson hit a three-pointer, but he assisted him.

Spurs bench.

"We have to limit their three-point shots, and we can no longer let them get three-point shots so easily."

"Everyone increases concentration, presses the man on the ball, blocks the passing lanes!"

Popovich picked up the tactical board and was arranging it for the players.

It can only be said that Popovich is worthy of being a famous coach at the historical level. Facing the tactical concept ten years later, he even thought of the countermeasure immediately.

This is indeed one of the relatively useful solutions for small ball tactics.

Although it is not the best solution, after all, this is just an impromptu change, and it is already very advanced to think of this.

This is probably why Popovich, as an old-school coach, is still competitive in the small ball era. His thinking mode is very new.

"Come forward and press us, what if we lose our position?"

Parker, the brain of the team, asked a question at this time.

"If you are out of position, rotate quickly, and everyone runs actively."

"Their tactics have never been played before, and they are obviously very unfamiliar. Don't be afraid of losing position and we will force them to make mistakes."

Popovich obviously thought of this problem too.

Based on Popovich's understanding of Mark Jackson, he is a stubborn old-school coach, and he should rarely let players train these things.

These things are probably all thought up by the teaching assistant who is a brat on the opposite side.

Parker also nodded. Even coach Popovich said so, so the opponent should have really not practiced these tactics much.

The Spurs generals have also regained their spirits. As a veteran team, they have created a very strong winning culture.

Although the Spurs GDP combination is too old, the rising star Leonard and the great potential Green also make this Spurs look seamless.

Warriors bench.

At this time, Su Chen was not complacent, but was more serious about arranging new tactics.

Generally speaking, the Warriors who have just hit a 6-0 shock wave can not make adjustments first.

See if the other party can crack it first, and then make adjustments.

But the opponent is Popovich!

And the Warriors' timeout was almost called by Mark Jackson, and they were still behind by 12 points.

12 points behind, facing a super team like the Spurs, the fault tolerance rate is very low.

It must be predicted!
Su Chen used to do tactical analysis, and the Spurs tactics are an inescapable part.

The Spurs have eight systems of tactics, including hammer tactics, zipper tactics, penetration tactics, barrier tactics, ball screen tactics, hand-to-hand tactics, second offensive tactics, and low post tactics.

Even though he has done a lot of analysis of the Spurs' tactics, it is still very difficult to see through Popovich's offensive options.

But no matter how difficult it is, you have to predict!

"We defend the zone defense for two rounds, and the opponent will most likely let Danny Green complete the three-pointer. Clay and Draymond, you must pay attention to Danny Green!"

"At the same time, in terms of offense, the opponent will definitely guard us for three-pointers. Curry, you fake run to cover, and Draymond, you catch the ball and pass it to Clay in this position."

Su Chen held the tactical board and spoke loudly to several people emotionally.

They understood the defensive and offensive arrangements.

It's just that everyone has a bit of hesitation on their faces. Several people glanced at Draymond Green, but they didn't say anything.

"Coach, there may be too many people in the middle of the pass at this position."

Or Draymond Green, who said it himself.

Because the team is chasing points at this time, everyone must be united. If other people say it, it is obvious that they don't trust their teammates.

"So Curry's false run is very important. I know you are very tired, but try harder."

Su Chen said this to Curry.

Curry's defense is not good. Why Su Chen didn't win Curry is because of Curry's shooting threat.

Even though Curry played a tough game under Mark Jackson this season, Curry's three-pointers have always been practiced this season's 45.3% three-pointer percentage!

As long as Curry moves, the Spurs will definitely send defensive resources to defend.

"I have no problem coaching."

Curry is not emotional, he is a player who is eager to win.

"Draymond, I believe in you. If the pass is wrong, I will take the initiative to tell the media at the press conference after the game that I told you to pass it like this."

Su Chen looked at Draymond Green and said firmly.

Now is the Warriors' chasing stage, every mistake hurts morale, and one mistake is enough to change the entire series.

Believe almost unconditionally.

"I know the coach."

Draymond Green nodded, his eyes became extremely determined.

No one had ever trusted him so much.

The draft pick is low, and Mark Jackson also gave him marginal playing time for the team, and he didn't have the right to handle the ball on the court, so he could only pick up some missed shots.

beep.
At this point the pause is over.

Spurs ball rights.

Parker advanced with the ball and passed halftime.

Just after halftime, the Warriors put up a zone defense formation.

"The Warriors' rookie coach actually took the initiative to change the defensive formation. They defended a zone defense. Did they want to test the Spurs' shooting ability?"

The on-site commentator was also a little surprised when he saw this defensive formation.

Not to mention the on-site commentary, even Popovich was surprised to see the Warriors take the initiative to become a zone defense.
