NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 59 The Classic Janeway Connection

"I think there is one thing, it is a big mistake!"

Kenny Smith said at this time.

"what?"

Johnson asked suspiciously.

"espn feels that both the player level and the coaching level are better than the Warriors. I don't want to refute too much on the player side. After all, Curry Thompson has not really proved himself yet, but the coach is wrong. The key to the Warriors' victory is Su Chen. coach."

Kenny Smith said with some annoyance.

In Kenny Smith's view, ESPN is purely belittling the Warriors, just because the Heat are now the darling of the league.

"Hahaha, are you talking about the coach who can only arrange three-point tactics?"

But for Kenny Smith's statement, Barkley said with sarcasm.

Barkley has publicly criticized this kind of three-point play before, and even threatened that the three-point jumper cannot win the championship.

In the previous Spurs game, Barkley felt that the Warriors felt too good.

The game against the Grizzlies was simply that the Grizzlies didn't live up to expectations, and they didn't reach the intensity of the Western Conference Finals at all.

Barkley didn't even bother to participate in the next game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies, even if he was arranged by the stage.

But in the game against the Heat, Barkley said that he must come!
He just wants to see this team that mainly focuses on three-point jump shots make a fool of themselves, make a fool of themselves in front of fans all over the world, and let the world know that insiders are men's world and the true meaning of basketball!
Although the Heat have a small lineup, both James and Wade are attacking the frame, which is in line with his basketball aesthetics.

In addition, the Heat were the championship champions last season, but they are not comparable to the Grizzlies. Can he not come?

"Barkley, like ESPN, you are looking at this issue with prejudice."

Kenny Smith didn't let the wind fall, and immediately countered.

The commentary for the finals suddenly turned into a bickering between two people.

"Okay, the game is about to start."

It was Johnson who came out to stop the bickering between the two.

If you want to count on O'Neill, don't. When the two were bickering just now, O'Neill was afraid that the fight would not be lively enough.

At this time, the game will officially start.

Su Chen has shaken hands with Erik Spoelstra and returned.

After all, the two of them had just greeted each other once, and now it seems that shaking hands is relatively easy.

Su Chen glanced at the Heat's bench.

I saw Eric Spoelstra didn't stand on the sidelines immediately after returning, but took another look at his notes on the bench.

At the same time, I thought of something and wrote and drew in my notebook.

[Hawkeye] consumes mental power, and can be used two or three times in the audience. Although Su Chen was curious about what Eric Spoelstra was writing, he didn't take a peek.

The number of times should still be used for the timeout of the key offensive and defensive rounds, and should not be wasted because of a curiosity.

Players from both sides enter the field.

Heat starting lineup: Udonis Haslem (C), Chris Bosh (PF), LeBron James (SF), Dwyane Wade (SG), Mario Chalmers ( PG).

Warriors starting lineup: Festus Ezeri (C), Draymond Green (PF), Richard Jefferson (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Stephen Curry ( PG).

The starting lineups of both sides are relatively conventional starting lineups.

Of course, both sides can change formations. For example, Bosh of the Heat can go to C to become a lineup with shooting and mobility.

Chalmers can also be replaced by Battier or Wade to become a perimeter defensive lineup or need to chase points to play three-point tactics.

Eric Spoelstra also has three-point tactics, but they are all three-point tactics initiated by James Wade hitting the inside.

For the Heat's three-point tactics, supporters of old-school basketball like Barkley don't have much resistance.

What they resist is not because of the breakthrough, but the tactic of running three-pointers for three-pointers.

Then it becomes a pure three-team.

Even the inside cut is for better shooting three-pointers, allowing Thompson and Curry to take more three-pointers.

Unlike the Heat, although there are good three-pointers on the outside, the first choice to complete the finish is James and Wade's attacking frame.

The Heat used the regular lineup, and the Warriors did not change.

Although the Warriors have shown five small lineups before, it seems that the Warriors don't seem to regard the five small lineups as a regular lineup.

Both Su Chen and Eric Spoelstra stood on the sidelines without much expression change.

It seems that the opponent's arrangement is still within their respective expectations.

Azeri made a successful jump ball.

Curry has the ball.

As soon as the game opened, Azeri set a fake pick-and-roll for Curry and ran inside.

James personally came to defend Curry this time.

Obviously, James has also watched the previous game and thinks that Curry is the core of the Warriors' tactics.

Once he blocked Curry, more than half of the Warriors' offense would be cut off.

Under the call of James, Haslem did not, and came together to double-team Curry.

Although Azeri went in, but under James' overwhelming defense, there was Haslem Curry on the other side who couldn't pass the ball in.

After blocking Curry's pass for the first time, James waved Haslem back.

At this time, it became James' single defense against Curry.

James is like this, his golf IQ is too high, and he can make the right decisions many times.

Curry itself is physically suppressed, and the choice of defensive positions is also perfect. This tactic was destroyed by James before it was launched.

Draymond Green saw it and hurried to the top three-pointer to respond.

Curry returns the ball to Draymond Green.

But the ball tactics are messed up, and it's not easy to reorganize the tactics for a while, so I can only make a small tactic here with Curry.

Curry made an inside cut and then withdrew.

When Curry cut inside, Draymond Green also made a fake pass, which was very natural as if he had played a thousand times.

This action allowed Curry to reconnect with the ball.

Curry made another breakthrough and pulled back, leaving a little space, and then clicked.

But James didn't eat this shake.

After Curry clicked, he wanted to make a breakthrough, but James saw through this time, and James, who stood in a good position, made Curry stagger directly.

He didn't hold the ball firmly in the stagger, and was directly grabbed by James.

Wade, who played with James for an unknown number of fast breaks, also understood very well that he started running when he saw James making a steal.

James ran forward with the ball, and James Thompson, who was running, couldn't stop it alone, so Jefferson had to come to help.

But James just tossed the ball into the sky, the ball arrived, and Wade appeared.

boom!
The ball was lobbed, a classic Janeway connection.

Heat 2:0 Warriors.
