NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 49 Hollins was stunned

Randolph didn't think too much, and passed the ball directly in the direction of Prince.

"No!!!"

Courtside Lionel Hollins yelled after seeing Randolph's passing path.

But Jefferson was talking trash in his ear, and Randolph couldn't hear what the coach was yelling.

After Randolph passed the ball, Jefferson also put down the arm that interfered with Randolph's vision.

This time, Randolph saw clearly what had happened.

It turned out that Thompson secretly let go of his defender and quietly approached Prince. When Randolph passed the ball, Thompson completely stopped pretending.

Thompson, who rushed out halfway, directly stole the ball.

Seeing this, Randolph's face turned black.

He just realized that Jefferson raised his arm not to defend his shot or block his passing line, but to block Thompson's existence.

The trash talk that has been chattering in his ear is just a reminder to disturb teammates and coaches.

What made Randolph even more angry was that after seeing Thompson steal the ball, Jefferson winked at him and went to follow up the fast break.

If Randolph was not sane, he would have pushed Jefferson to the ground.

After Thompson steals, there is no pause at all, very coherent dribbles and fast breaks.

Thompson grabbed a two-position lead at the beginning, and Prince, who followed behind, could not interfere at all unless he pulled Thompson down from behind.

But the price of doing so, first-level malicious fouls are all light, and it is not too much to upgrade and be directly expelled from the field.

Prince could only watch Thompson complete the steal and layup.

Grizzlies 0:8 Warriors.

After scoring this goal, the Warriors' bench was boiling.

Grizzlies fans are quiet.

Lionel Hollins was walking around, chewing gum more often.

Think back to the round just now.

The opponent's rookie coach unexpectedly predicted his tactics.

"how so."

Lionel Hollins was extremely impatient.

But he didn't call timeout again.

Calling a timeout just now not only failed to bring the situation back, but was suppressed by the opponent for an offensive and defensive transition.

It's not a question of whether he wants to save face or not.

The point is that there is no way.

Even Lionel Hollins was shaken in his heart, whether to play inside or not.

But facing the five juniors, you don't play inside and play fast break with others?

This time Lionel Hollins didn't call a timeout, but made a tactical gesture from the sidelines.

If you play inside, you still have to play inside, but don't play inside so bluntly.

Conley nodded to express his understanding, and at the same time made gestures to direct his teammates to move.

This time the Grizzlies played a safe tactic.

Randolph runs the first fake pick-and-roll for Conley and cuts right in, while Gasol Jr. comes up and runs a real pick-and-roll with Conley.

At the same time, Tony Allen came up, and Conley didn't take the pick and roll, but gave the ball to Tony Allen.

It's up to Tony Allen to draw attention from the midrange while passing the ball to Randolph inside.

The Warriors were attracted by Tony Allen, and while they didn't block the pass, Randolph caught the ball in the paint and was empty.

Randolph scored a layup on the spot.

Grizzlies 2:8 Warriors.

The Grizzlies' strategy this time has finally been achieved.

Su Chen didn't respond.

You can't let the Grizzlies fail to score a goal.

And from Su Chen's point of view, the ball forced the Grizzlies to use such a complicated tactic to score, which is acceptable.

The more complex tactics, the higher the error rate.

Just like just now, when Tony Allen was asked to pass that difficult lob, Randolph almost missed it.

Let the role players handle the ball. This is the purpose of the defense of the five small lineups, as long as your core players cannot handle the ball.

Why is a role player called a role player?

That's because they usually do some division of labor that belongs to their positioning. For outside role players, it is enough to do a good job of defending and shooting open positions.

Things like handling the ball are usually done by the core.

On the one hand, role players are not capable enough to handle the ball, on the other hand, they have no experience to handle the ball in many situations.

Let the role players do what they don't usually do, and let the core players do what the role players do. This is the defensive concept of the five small lineups.

Of course, this is a relief for Lionel Hollins.

After all, the scoring drought has been broken.

After Wu Xiao fought for a while, Su Chen let Ai Zeli fuck him.

The five small lineups are not regular, but come to play high-intensity for a certain period of time.

After all, offense and defense require players to run a lot on the court and pass the ball in a wide range.

In terms of the physical strength of the players, how can they withstand the whole game like this.

Mainly, Su Chen played the five small lineups at the beginning of the game, which is to build the confidence of the team in the five small lineups, and at the same time to see whether the five small lineups can really be used in actual combat.

After switching back to the regular lineup, the Grizzlies finally got used to it.

The two sides began to fight back and forth.

After Curry scored two three-pointers at the beginning, Curry was strictly guarded.

Su Chen also let Curry enter the rotation time to rest after playing for half a quarter, and asked Bazemore to replace Curry.

After Curry went down, the Warriors' offensive rhythm also slowed down, and their scoring efficiency came down.

However, with the addition of Bazemore, the defensive strength can be improved, and the Grizzlies did not chase many points.

The first quarter is over.

Grizzlies 21:32 Warriors.

Although the Grizzlies have recovered some rhythm later, the Grizzlies' own offensive efficiency cannot be improved.

Offensive strengths Randolph faced Draymond Green's defense, and his offensive efficiency is still not high.

And 21 points in a single quarter can be regarded as the regular output score of the Grizzlies.

Sometimes the Grizzlies can score more than ten points in a single quarter.

The 11-point gap was widened because they were caught off guard by the small lineup at the beginning of the game.

In addition, Thompson scored two more difficult three-pointers.

If it weren't for the Grizzlies to find their rhythm, this quarter would be able to beat the Grizzlies.

During the rest of the single quarter, the commentary booth is also quite lively.

"32 points in a single quarter. This is when Curry entered the rotation time in half a quarter. The Grizzlies were beaten by the five small lineups."

Kenny Smith said.

Kenny Smith was not optimistic about the Warriors at first, but the Warriors' five small lineups played a leading lineup by points.

"What are the Grizzlies playing, just Jefferson and Barnes, why don't you just let Randolph sit in?"

Barkley said very incomprehensibly.

"Just two small strikers, I don't know what Hollins is afraid of."

Barkley's words were also agreed by O'Neill.

This is also the reason why many excellent players will not become good coaches.

Whether it's Barclay O'Neal or Jordan who teach players, it's hard to use the opponent's perspective.

They can tell why you can't even score this when there are only two people defending you.

For this point, Lang Kwame Brown, the champion who was handpicked by Jordan, probably has the most experience.
