NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 33 Grizzlies' Green's Formula

The next day.

The news that the Warriors reversed the Spurs and reached the Western Conference Finals directly occupied the forefront of the search.

The Spurs this season are regarded as the favorites to win the championship, ranking second in the Western Conference in the regular season, and the Thunder, which ranks first in the regular season, lacks Westbrook's hard power and is not as good as the Spurs.

When the Thunder was eliminated by the Grizzlies, it was basically confirmed that the Spurs are the most powerful team in the Western Conference this year.

In fact, they did beat the Warriors to the brink at one point, and G6 should have ended the series.

But no one knows that Mark Jackson was expelled from the game, but instead awakened the real Warriors.

New coach Su Chen led the Warriors to use a three-point storm to complete a comeback and eliminate the Spurs abruptly.

Reversing the upset is certainly exciting.

Just like the last time the Warriors entered the playoffs, it was the 2006~2007 season, and they created a black-eight miracle as soon as they entered.

But calm down and think about it.

The Warriors do have the gene of a crazy explosion, but the strength of the explosion is not the real strength of the Warriors.

After the Warriors created a black-eight miracle last time, they faced the Jazz in the second round. The Jazz only took 5 games, with a big score of 4 to 1, and eliminated the crazy Warriors.

And the subsequent five years missed the playoffs.

The Warriors have a tradition of madness, but also a tradition of lackluster stamina.

In particular, this Warriors team is basically based on three-pointers, which makes people even less optimistic about the Warriors.

"Crazy Warriors are just a flash in the pan, and the Grizzlies may advance to the finals in the easiest way. "

An ESPN commentator published an article before the game, which was reprinted by many well-known reporters at the same time.

In the article, the Black Eight Warriors were compared with the current Warriors. They all eliminated the old strong teams with unreasonable shots.

Also compare the Grizzlies to the Jazz that eliminated the Warriors.

Conley and Deron, Randolph and Boozer, and the comparison of the size of each defender.

It seems that a team like Jazz Grizzlies is a chaotic team like Tianke.

The defensive resources of Tyshawn Prince, Tony Allen, and Mike Conley are even more comprehensive than the Spurs' defensive resources.

The Spurs' backcourt and Parker's defense is relatively poor, and the Grizzlies have no weaknesses at all.

Needless to say, Prince and Tony Allen are two defensive champions.

Even Conley, their core point guard, has extremely strong defensive ability, and won the honor of the second team of the best defensive team this season.

Such defensive resources are extremely restrained from the Warriors' three-point play.

Even their inside line has the dpoy of this season, Marc Gasol.

Perhaps the Grizzlies' individual defensive ability is not as good as the Spurs' super defenders like Duncan and Leonard, and it will be difficult to play against a strong team with a giant attack mode.

But the strong team defense ability has just restrained a team offense like the Warriors.

The article also reviewed why the Spurs lost to the Warriors.

It is because when it is time to win or lose, the Spurs will play Parker and Ginobili, two players who are not strong defensively, and they will lose if they fight with the Warriors on offense.

Of course, there are also reasons for the old GDP and the Warriors' three-point explosion.

The Grizzlies' victory and defeat are always balanced on offense and defense, even if the Warriors explode.

At the end of the article, the head coaches of the two sides were compared.

Although Lionel Hollins did not have too dazzling achievements, he is a coach with a first-class defensive level. The team with him may not be smooth in offense, but the defense is very strong.

In comparison, Su Chen's resume was only an assistant coach before, a proper rookie coach.

Relying on some new and strange tricks has achieved some results, but Lionel Hollins has time to study, and when the rookie coach's strange tricks are useless, the Warriors system will collapse.

"Defense wins the championship. The closer you get to the basket, the closer you are to the championship. The three-point jumper can't win the championship."

When a basketball expert forwarded this article, he also attached a comment.

These are coalition-tested truths.

The Warriors are full of BUFF, and they are not a championship team no matter how you look at it.

These views have won the support of most netizens.

Except for the Golden State fans who are optimistic about a team like the Warriors with such an advanced style of play, they are not optimistic about them because they eliminated the Warriors.

time flies.

Western Conference Finals finally started.

FedEx Arena.

As the largest public facility in Memphis, it is also extremely lively tonight.

As a team that only joined the league in 1995, the Grizzlies have a relatively long team history in the NBA, and they have been big teams most of the time.

Not only did the Grizzlies make it to the Western Conference Finals this year, but their opponents in the Western Conference Finals were not strong. It is entirely possible for them to reach the Finals.

Even go one step further and get your hands on that championship trophy!
For the Warriors who had just upset the Spurs, the Grizzlies, from the fans to the players, didn't feel that the opponent was anything special.

Isn't it the upset Spurs?

In the 2010~2011 season, they eliminated the Spurs with a black eight.

We upset the Spurs before you upset the Spurs.

Good guy, Green's formula is still on the right track.
