NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 76

At this time, the starting rosters of both sides also came out, and the commentary seat got the rosters almost immediately.

Everyone also saw the Warriors' five small starting lineups.

"Hahaha, although we are not very optimistic about the Warriors, this rookie coach seems to have given up on himself."

When Barkley saw the starting lineup, he burst out laughing.

When the Warriors played against the Grizzlies, they already had five small lineups. The five small lineups did not make everyone particularly surprised.
It was only during the preview analysis of the finals that many people had already analyzed that the Warriors' five small lineups were perfectly restrained by the Heat's five small lineups.

The Warriors' five small lineups were used in the last game, but they did not help the team win the game and fell behind.

Now it seems that the Warriors' five-small lineup can beat the Grizzlies purely because of the strength of the Grizzlies.

It's not how strong this five small lineup is.

"Su is indeed taking a risk with this move. It seems that he himself knows that the chances of winning are not high, so he wants to disrupt the situation."

Johnson is relatively neutral, and speaks more objectively at this time.

"Disruption? With James Wade, the more chaotic they are, the stronger they will be. Don't think that the Warriors can shoot three-pointers. The Heat have Ray Allen!"

"Curry's three-pointer is not bad, but Ray Allen is the real three-pointer, you have to be clear about this!"

Barkley immediately refuted Johnson's words.

In this era, Ray Allen is king in terms of three-point status.

Or rather, no matter what era.

If new stars want to step on the top of the older generation, then these doubts must be faced.

"Hey, the Heat's starting lineup is not a small lineup."

"What's the matter with the Heat's small lineup to restrain the Warriors' small lineup?"

Kenny Smith said with a question mark on his face.

A few people were caught in the discussion of the outcome just now, and it was only after Kenny Smith said it that everyone came back to their senses.

It seems so.

The Heat's starting lineup is not a small lineup.

"Then Erik Spoelstra can play small lineups very quickly, isn't it the same?"

Barkley said without thinking.

This time there is no need for Kenny Smith to argue with Barkley, and Johnson next to him can see it.

"If Eric Spoelstra immediately sends a small lineup, it means that Eric Spoelstra's pre-game arrangement at the beginning is invalidated."

"Even if Eric Spoelstra explained the tactics to the replaced players, it is not a sentence or two that can be explained clearly by the players."

"If the Heat don't have an advantage against the Warriors' five small lineups at the beginning, then Erik Spoelstra will have to call a timeout this time."

Johnson directly stated the intention of this wave of starting substitutions.

Even though Barkley was very upset watching the Warriors and Su Chen, after all, he is also a professional, and he was only prejudiced before.

Now that Johnson has spoken out, it is not good for him to belittle this matter forcibly.

"It is indeed a useful little trick, but I am afraid that these five small lineups will not play a sneak attack role against the Heat's regular starters."

Barkley changed the subject and said.

Anyway, he just can't understand the Warriors and Su Chen's three-point system.

And this time, in the field.

Eric Spoelstra also saw the Warriors' starting lineup.

When seeing the information, Eric Spoelstra froze for a moment, then nodded after a while.

"It turned out to be like this. It seems that I guessed that I will not change the starting lineup."

Erik Spoelstra saw it, too.

But Eric Spoelstra didn't rush to change anything, but chose to see first.

They are the one with the psychological advantage. Before the game, he has already prepared the rhythm layout of the normal game rhythm, and now he is rushing to change it, which is self-disruption.

The opponent, the fifth junior, may not really be able to produce anything.

Erik Spoelstra chose not to make any adjustments.

Soon, the game also started.

Su Chen and Eric Spoelstra walked to the technical stage, shook hands lightly, and returned to their respective camps.

The referee enters the field with the ball.

Players from both sides then settled down.
Warriors starting lineup: Draymond Green (C), Richard Jefferson (PF), Harrison Barnes (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Stephen Curry (PG) .

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

jump ball.

Bosh goes up to Draymond Green to jump the ball, and Bosh manages to get the ball.

The ball was taken by Wade, and Wade gave it directly to Chalmers after he got it, allowing Chalmers to dribble the ball before halftime.

But when Chalmers just crossed the midfield line, Curry immediately stepped forward to press Chalmers, which caught Chalmers by surprise.

Chalmers wanted to pass the ball back to Wade, but found that Wade was also defended by Thompson and intercepted the pass.

This made Chalmers a little confused. After all, at the beginning of the game, everyone opened up and played the offensive and defensive rounds first.

How can you play a full-court press as soon as you come up?

However, Chalmers proved himself to be a qualified point guard, and he successfully passed the ball to James.

As soon as James got the ball, he didn't simply press the whole court, but directly double-teamed.

Barnes and Jefferson directly clamped James.

Jefferson put his own people to double-team him. James immediately thought that Bosh should be vacant at this time, so he found Bosh and passed it.

Bosh was indeed open at this time, but after Bosh received the ball, Draymond Green immediately covered it.

Bosh didn't think about attacking, so he wanted to give the ball to Haslem under the basket.

But at this time Jefferson had already passed the rotation. Jefferson predicted the passing route and directly reached out to choose to steal the ball.

This kind of fast double-teaming and defensive tactics of intercepting passing routes, these days Su Chen let them practice a lot.

Even leaving aside the thousands of instant simulations of the simulation glasses, these defensive strategies have allowed them to train hundreds of times.

Haslem missed the ball.

The ball was broken by Jefferson.

Jefferson's first pass ability is not particularly strong, but there is still a qualified level.

Jefferson threw the ball directly to the running Barnes.

Barnes took the ball and ran all the way to the Heat's basket.

At the same time, there are Curry and Thompson following up on the left and right, and the momentum of the Warriors' fast break is formed.

On the other hand, the Heat's defense is not very timely.

Although the Heat have repeatedly emphasized the need to prevent the Warriors' three-pointers and fast breaks, who would have thought that the Warriors would play like this from the beginning?
