Chapter 57 The Tsunami Brothers
Mike Budenholzer lays out the tactics for the players:

Elton, once Zhang Xin attacks Perot, let go of Iguodala and directly double-team Zhang Xin;
Demarais, once Zhang Xin hits you, don't hesitate to double-team him;

Louis, try to seek the assistance of your teammates on offense. You played the ball well just now. Facing Blake, break through him resolutely. He can't guard you. After breaking through, split the ball;
Dennis, Elton, Perot, DeMarre, you are always ready to receive the pass from Louis, and shoot as soon as you receive the ball, don't hesitate!

Remember, double-team a letter!Do you remember everything?
"yes! sir!"

Mark Jackson is also arranging defensive tactics:
They relied on Lu Wei to grab points. Blake defended him alone and allowed him to shoot, but he had to break through and double-team the people on the same side, and others cut off the passing route.

It is up to Zhang Xin to decide how to attack.

Pause ends.

Lu Wei held the ball and carefully observed the Warriors' defensive position. He felt that he had a better chance of winning against Blake. Blake followed Lu Wei closely, keeping a step away. Lu Wei hurriedly dribbled the ball, a left hand Blake slammed the ball and rushed to the left. Blake quickly moved sideways. Lu Wei paused and pulled the ball back. Blake was in a hurry, but he couldn't return the center of gravity. Godala quickly let go of Brand and came up to surround Lu Wei. Lu Wei remembered the coach's instructions, took another step forward, and hit the ball to Brand. Zhang Xin was so fast because of Lu Wei's luck. After hitting the ball like this, Zhang Xin rushes to cover Brand, but Brand dare not take the shot reluctantly, and passes it to Schroeder. There is not much time left, so Schroeder can only make a hasty shot and hit the front frame. David Lee quickly received the rebound.

Zhang Xin held the ball at the top of the arc, David Lee came up to pick and roll, Zhang Xin directly broke through Pero Antiche, Brand immediately came up to double-team, Zhang Xin saw Brand let go of Iguodala, and directly threw the ball to As soon as the basket was thrown, Iguodala soared into the air and dunked the ball in with one hand!
Mike Budenholzer shook his head: This is the gap. Look at Zhang Xin's broken double-team pass, and then look at Lu Wei's broken double-team. Rand was just a dunk, alas!There is no comparison between people!

Under the leadership of Lu Wei, the Eagles' offense was stuttering. Except for a few forced shots, the teammates did not have any good opportunities. However, under the leadership of Zhang Xin, the Warriors blossomed more. Xin rushed in, and the Eagles dared to double-team, and immediately there was an open three-pointer or an alley-oop. After less than 5 minutes of playing, Mike Budenholzer replaced the starting lineup one after another in advance.

Zhang Xin also went to rest after the Warriors' main force returned. In this half quarter, he scored 13 points, 3 assists and 57 blocks. Warriors 40:17 Eagles, Warriors lead by [-] points.

In terms of the strength of the main lineups of both sides, the Warriors should win, but the Eagles' starting tactics just restrained the Warriors' starting tactics, so neither side could defend the other, but the Warriors did not lose points. At the end of halftime, the Warriors still led by 17 points. It was 75:58.

The audience watched happily. The two sides played back and forth, and the Warriors' offense was smooth. Although they couldn't prevent the Eagles from diverting the ball, the offensive game was good, and the Warriors still led by so many points.

The commentator made a statistic. When Zhang Xin was on the court, the Warriors' net score was 16 points. Today's efficiency is higher than usual.

Back in the second half, the two sides still had regular starting lineups, but the Eagles took the lead in making tactical adjustments:
Offensively play Jeff Teague and Al Horford's pick-and-roll, Korver, Lu Wei, Millsap and other opportunities to shoot;
The defense pinched Curry, released Green, and blocked three-pointers on both sides.

It worked as soon as it came up. The pick-and-rolls of Jeff Teague and Al Horford are difficult to defend. Horford can attack the basket and shoot from the free throw line, and he has the ability to pass the ball. Such a versatile center It is difficult to defend, and it is difficult for the Warriors to choke their scoring; back to the offense, Curry was choked, and after the pick-and-roll, it was given to Green. Being locked up, Green could only choose to attack by himself. He shot two three-pointers, all of which were ironed, two offensive frames, and only one was scored. A pass to Thompson was intercepted, and the point difference was forced to close to 9 points. call timeout.

Mark Jackson made substitution adjustments, replacing Bogut with Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin faced Millsap, and Zhang Xin signaled Curry to go up and pick and roll for him, and Curry expressed his understanding.

Zhang Xin gave the high-post Curry a pick-and-roll. The Eagles pinched Curry according to the previous strategy. Curry flicked his hand and gave the ball to Zhang Xin who popped out of the three-point line. Zhang Xin made a three-pointer with his open hand.

Mike Budenholzer hurriedly said hello and indicated that no letter could be released.

The Hawks still chose to play the pick-and-roll, Horford blocked Curry, Green directly switched to Jeff Teague, Curry kept interfering with Horford, Horford stuck Curry and slid down, Jeff Teague passed the ball to Horford, Zhang Xin let it go immediately Millsap double-teamed Horford. Horford could only pass the ball to Millsap. Green let go of Jeff Teague and helped defend Millsap. Millsap made a direct mid-range shot and missed the basket under Green's interference.

This is the role of the five small players. When there are five players who can move quickly on the field, the team can rotate defenses indefinitely, and keep every offensive player in front of defenders at any time. If you can shoot against people, then It's your ability, or, you choose singles, and it is difficult to get a chance to open.

Mike Budenholzer frowned tightly. If the pick-and-roll is restricted, it is difficult to get a chance to switch positions in the five small fast rotations. Except for Horford, others such as Millsap, Jeff Teague, Korver, and Lu Wei are all hard to create opportunities. Should Horford be singled out?

The Warriors' offense is very clear. I just want to hit you in a misplaced position. Whether it's Curry playing Millsap or Zhang Xin playing Jeff Teague, it's a very advantageous way of playing.

Zhang Xin gave Curry a high pick-and-roll, Jeff Teague didn't dare to let Zhang Xin go, so he had to switch defenses with Millsap, and Millsap faced Curry directly.As a short power forward, Millsap's defensive position is very good, and his timing is accurate. The average inside player will not confuse him, but his footsteps are slow.

Curry was picked and rolled by Zhang Xin, and he broke through with a lateral move. Millsap's footsteps were too slow for Curry. Curry broke through directly. Horford hurried over to help defend. Curry hit the ground and passed the ball , Green hit the basket.

Horford went low and asked Green for a position. Green was too powerful. Horford finally caught the ball and found that he had been pushed almost two steps closer to the three-point line. The Warriors and the others did not come to help defend. Arched Green, arched several times, did not arch, and could only pass to Lu Wei. Seeing that time was running out, Lu Wei could only make a hasty shot and miss the basket.

Lu Wei: Brother, is it really okay to throw the pot like this?

Horford: I am also very helpless, I can't move at all.

Mike Budenholzer frowned even more when he saw that Horford couldn't move Green. If Horford couldn't attract double-teams, it would be difficult to win this game.

Looking back, the Warriors still played pick-and-rolls, and the Eagles still couldn't defend. Thompson received a pass from Zhang Xin and hit a three-pointer.The point difference widened to 16 points, and Mike Budenholzer had no choice but to call a timeout.

After the timeout, the offensive problem that should be solved is still not solved. When the five small lineups are on the court, you can either play or force the shot. It is difficult to get open opportunities through running pick-and-rolls.

The defensive problem is also unsolvable. The Zhang Xin-Curry pick-and-roll is actually the same as the Curry-Durant pick-and-roll.

After three quarters, the Warriors led by 21 points. After a few minutes into the fourth quarter, the Hawks withdrew their main force, and the Warriors clocked in three quarters again.

张信上场19分钟，砍下25分11个助攻6个篮板2个盖帽。

库里砍下28分8个助攻4个篮板，汤普森砍下22分5个篮板2个助攻。

The three of them scored 75 points together. After the game, some media reported: "Brother Tsunami scored 75 points together, hold the audience!"

So far, the Tsunami Brothers officially replaced the Splash Brothers.
