NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 61 Slow down when fighting the Heat!
Su Chen took the tactical board and walked to the bench.

"We changed our defensive strategy. The Heat can run and jump better than us, and our opponents are better at the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions than us."

"Jefferson, Barnes, and Green take turns defending James to consume his energy."

"Stay close to the defenders and don't let them run at speed, so that the rhythm can be controlled."

Su Chen loudly arranged strategies to the players.

The players listened intently as Jefferson went off and Barnes came on.

Although Barnes is not the kind of player who is very stable offensively and defensively, he is one of the best athletic players in the Warriors after all, and he can still achieve it by trying his best to consume James.

There is nothing wrong with this strategy.

Later, Iguodala, the FMVP, actually took turns to defend James, and Green and others took turns to consume James.

Although it is the Cavaliers James, whether it is the Heat or the Cavaliers, James will always be the core that needs to be restricted.

The Cavaliers have Irving, and the Heat have Wade, but neither the Cavaliers nor the Heat are top teams if they only rely on the second master.

Although Wade and O'Neal were the core of the team when they won the championship, but O'Neal played as a support, it was a super support.

Without a super support like O'Neal, the Heat were still in the first round in the season before James came to the Heat.

Not to mention Irving, before James returned to the Cavaliers, Irving was still leading the team to compete for the No. [-] pick.

Limit James, at least half of the win!
It's time for a pause.

The players are ready to play.

"Su, are you planning to fight the Heat to decide the outcome later?"

The old assistant coach Ron Adams listened to him and heard Su Chen's intentions.

"Yes, the Heat are good at quick wins, and we were good at it before."

"But we are not as good as the Heat, we can't go to the comfortable rhythm of the Heat."

Su Chen nodded and said.

Ron Adams also thought it made sense.

Although the rhythm has been lengthened, the physical consumption has not been reduced because of the slow rhythm, but it has increased the physical consumption of James.

"This is really good, Su, your strategy is great."

After Ron Adams figured it out, he couldn't help but admire.

Su Chen smiled lightly. It seemed that the old assistant teacher was worthy of being an old assistant teacher, and he understood his intention so easily.

"Adams, what do you think is the shortcoming of this strategy?"

Su Chen suddenly asked Ron Adams.

Ron Adams pondered for a moment.

"Although it consumed James, our players also consumed a lot of physical energy. Wade and Bosh did not suffer too much physical energy consumption, which may cause a lot of trouble in the final stage."

Ron Adams said after thinking clearly.

"That's true, but it's more reassuring for Wade Bosh to go to the final stage than to let James."

"Besides, the defensive end consumes the stamina reserved by the striker. By the decisive stage, Thompson and Curry still have plenty of stamina."

Su Chen said with a smile.

"So it is."

After hearing Su Chen's explanation, Ron Adams had an expression of enlightenment.

Although such a strategy may not be successful, the Warriors are inherently weaker than the Heat. It is already remarkable to be able to use strategy and the Heat to fight to the final stage.

But what Ron Adams didn't know was that Su Chen still had a hole card he didn't know about.

[Hot Zone Ignition], [Eagle Eye], [Middle Bottle Reusable Energy Drink].

If it can really be dragged to the decisive stage, these three existences will be a sharp weapon against the Heat.

Back on the field again.

The Warriors began to control the rhythm.

When James held the ball, before halftime, Barnes began to engage in physical confrontation with James.

Moreover, Barnes is also constantly challenging the tightness of the referee's scale, and he is very irritated by all kinds of hands on James.

James didn't want to waste his energy with Barnes, so he simply let Chalmers hold the ball for halftime.

But Barnes, as if relying on James, kept sticking to James, preventing James from receiving the ball.

Even if James wants to catch the ball, it takes some effort to get rid of Barnes.

The Heat's favorite 1-3 pick-and-roll tactic, the Warriors also adopted a two-man confrontation against James, and at the same time the whole team rotated to fill the vacancy.

When fighting the Grizzlies before, the Warriors also adopted this tactic.

But because the Grizzlies are a two-tower team, they must defend the basket and leave open opportunities for role players to handle the ball.

But the Heat don't have the strength at the basket like the Grizzlies. The Warriors' rotation is relatively large, and the Heat's role players rarely have the opportunity to handle the ball.

The heat's rhythm is undoubtedly delayed.

At the same time, the Heat returned to defense quickly, and the Warriors did not fight the turnover rate of the fast break, but chose to play a safe positional battle.

It is different from the imagined large number of three-point tactics.

The Warriors rely more on three-point threats to play pass and cut tactics.

Su Chen had also considered this point clearly.

The Heat's inside defense is weak, and no offense is nothing.

Whether it was the Spurs or the Grizzlies before, their interior defense was too strong, with characters like Duncan and Gasol sitting on the interior.

With the Warriors' not-so-top offensive ability at the basket, it is beyond their capabilities to challenge the Grizzlies and Spurs inside.

At the same time, the Heat are a typical team whose outside defense is greater than inside defense.

Whether it is Bosh or Haslem, their protection of the inside basket is relatively weak.

Especially in the pass-and-cut tactics, most of the balls have the advantage of taking the lead, and this ball will be scored through the pass-and-cut method.

More than half a body behind, if Duncan and Gasol Jr., there is still a way to interfere.

But Bosh and Haslem's inside line, behind the body and still interfere, is mostly invalid interference or foul.

Draymond Green, who became the engine of the Warriors' pass and cut tactics, has a high tactical status on the offensive end.

In particular, Draymond Green has been working hard on mid-range and throwing shots recently, and he has been able to guarantee a good shooting rate for open spots, so that opponents dare not directly empty him.

This is also why Su Chen knows what Draymond Green is good at. If you ask him to practice three-pointers, he may not be able to practice in a season.

But if you just concentrate on practicing mid-range and throwing shots, it will soon be effective.

Because he has the talent in this area.

Asking him to do things without talent is like asking Simmons to practice three-pointers. He doesn't have the ability to know.

In the first quarter, Draymond Green played an important role on the offensive end, so Su Chen has not allowed Draymond Green to participate in actions that consume James' physical strength too early.

The first quarter was mainly Barnes and Jefferson, taking turns to consume James' physical strength.

The whistle sounded.

The first quarter is over.

Heat 25:22 Warriors.
