Chapter 266 Perfect Lineup?

Next, Monta Ellis used his impact to continuously attack Speights, and whoever flanked him would pass it to the player who was emptied. In this way, he was really on par with the Warriors. Suddenly Cole couldn't bear it anymore, and called a timeout to make adjustments.

Cole played in a smaller lineup, he removed Speights, played Klay Thompson, and Zhang Xin went directly to the fourth position to face Aminu.

After joining this lineup, the Warriors' defense has improved significantly. After all, these are five top strikers!

This time the Mavericks fell into a disadvantage. The Warriors adopted an infinite defense strategy to defend. No matter who it is, they can defend Monta Ellis alone. The Mavericks are in trouble again!
The Mavericks were beaten 2-8 by the Warriors within 0 minutes. Coach Carlisle quickly called a timeout, made personnel adjustments, replaced Aminu, and played Nowitzki.

Although Nowitzki is getting older, he is still a person who can change the conservative. When Nowitzki uses his singles to continuously attract double-teams, and then pass the ball to the person who is emptied, the Mavericks The offense is considered to have improved.

However, the Warriors' defense is very strategic. The targets they choose to short are all without three-point threats. Villanueva and Monta Ellis are both targets to be shorted. The shooting percentage is only 28.1%.

The Mavericks' offense was weak and the point difference was stretched to 15 points. Coach Carlisle quickly replaced Tyson Chandler, trying to use Tyson Chandler to attack the Warriors' inside line.

But this strategy is unrealistic. The five players on the Warriors' court are extremely fast and shrink the defense very quickly. Chandler is not an insider with very good coping ability. Once he is double-teamed, he has no way to pass the ball out.

After Chandler was double-teamed and made several mistakes, the Mavericks didn't dare to give the ball to the inside again, and still turned back to Nowitzki's hands, with Nowitzki as the core of the offense.

In fact, the Mavericks' lineup has enough space. Nowitzki, Devin Harris, and Parsons all have three-pointers. The space is already relatively large. However, the Warriors' defense is really terrible. Frightening, the five top strikers are really terrifying to the extreme!
The Warriors' offense, under the leadership of Zhang Xin, has Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson and Zhang Xin three three-pointers, plus Drummond Green and Andre Iguodala's go-betweens, the Warriors' offense It was as smooth as mercury pouring down the ground.

At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors had widened the point difference to 20 points!
During the intermission, Wang Meng and Yang Yi were discussing the Warriors' defense.

"It's scary! Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, and Zhang Xin, the five top strikers, and the iron wall of defensive players are really unstoppable! Even an unsolvable offensive player like Nowitzki is restricted!

What's even more frightening is that this lineup is not a purely defensive lineup with weak offense. There are three top three-pointers in it, as well as two masters of connected teams such as Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala. It's as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water!

The defense has no shortcomings, and the offense cannot be targeted. Such a lineup should be infinitely close to a perfect lineup, right?Has Mr. Yang seen such a lineup? "Wang Meng was amazed.

"There are many strong offensive teams in the history of the NBA, such as Jordan's Bulls, the Lakers of the OK combination, and the Lakers during showtime;
防守上也有很多的强队比如，活塞90年代坏孩子军团，07-8赛季的凯尔特人队03-04的马刺；
But like the Warriors, a defensive team purely composed of five forward defensive players, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen it.

I don't know if it's close to perfect, I don't know if it's the best offensive lineup, I don't even know if it's the most perfect defensive lineup, I just know it's a pretty scary team:

On defense:
Unlimited defense changes, keeping a defender in front of everyone;

The inside pincer attack makes up for the lack of height of the inside defender;

It can spread out and shrink back. It can not only pinch the inside line, but also oppress the outside players.

And on offense:

Two historical-level three-point shooters, plus a first-class three-point shooter, can open up infinite space;

Two players who are good at threading needles help the ball to flow quickly;

An absolute core that integrates offense and defense!
For such a team, my evaluation is: This is a team with the best combination of offense and defense. It is definitely at the historical level. I don’t know if this is not the best, but it must be extremely rare! "Yang Yi gave a very high evaluation.

This lineup is also a five-small lineup, which is different from the death lineup with Curry on the court. When Curry is on the court, the offense is stronger, but the defense will be slightly weaker.

This lineup was actually a surprise for Cole. He also wanted to try this lineup on a whim. He didn't expect the power of this lineup to be really amazing, and it would have miraculous effects when used at certain critical times.

Coach Carlisle expressed his helplessness. This is no longer a problem on the tactical level, but the overall strength is not as good as the Warriors. The changes that Zhang Xin brought to the Warriors are definitely fundamental changes.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhang Xin was replaced and sat on the bench to watch his teammates on the field. The people you are on the field in the Warriors are: Stephen Curry, Leandro Barbosa, Andrew Bogut, Mariss Bates, Jonathan Simmons.

After leading by a big score, Cole gave Simmons, Speights, Barbosa and others the chance to play. One was to increase the rotation and reduce the chance of injury, but to give newcomers like Simmons a chance to grow.

Jonathan Simmons has grown rapidly this season, because under the leadership of Zhang Xin, he often leads by a large score in the second and third quarters, so rookies like Simmons also get a lot of opportunities to play.

During internal training, Zhang Xin will focus on training Simmons and Taylor Johnson, constantly destroying them with offense, allowing them to grow from collapse, and their strength will also improve by leaps and bounds over time.

When it's used, Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler, Chandler Parsons, Monta Ellis, and Devin Harris.

Coach Carlisle wanted to use the starting lineup to get the score back. The Warriors' lineup was still a little weaker, so they gave the Mavericks a chance and played for 4 minutes. The Mavericks took the opportunity to reduce the score to 15 points. Montgomery and Klay Thompson replaced, and this withstood the attack of the Mavericks.

Cole was still a little careless.
