Chapter 91 Iguodala who lifted the coffin board!

Anthony is restricted, but the Warriors' offense is not restricted. Zhang Xin is different from Anthony. Anthony's skill points are mainly in personal offense, while Zhang Xin's personal offense and team offense are very comprehensive. He has too many choices.

Zhang Xin holds the ball at the top of the arc, Anthony wants to press Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin calls David Lee for a pick-and-roll, and David Lee arrives at the pick-and-roll position.

Zhang Xin immediately started to move laterally, David Lee rushed to the inside, Andrea Bargnani did not dare to let Zhang Xin go, Anthony wanted to chase, Zhang Xin sent the ball inside, and David Lee dunked violently;
In the next round of the Warriors' attack, Zhang Xin held the ball directly, or called a high pick-and-roll. The same trick, David Lee ran to the inside, and now Anthony could only cut off David Lee's receiving route.

Andrea Bargnani faced Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin dribbled the ball under his crotch, swayed left and right, and made Andrea Bargnani take two steps back. Zhang Xin took a step back and pulled up a three-point jumper. This is the classic Harden step back;
Zhang Xin led Anthony to slip around in the crowd, and David Lee picked and rolled at the bottom line. Zhang Xin took Anthony and Andrea Bargnani away. When Barnes passed the ball, David Lee dunked directly!
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 36:26. The Warriors led the Knicks by 10 points. In the second half of the first quarter, under the restrictions of the Warriors, the Knicks only scored 8 points. This was mainly due to Zhang Xin's restrictions on Anthony.

The second quarter began with Mark Jackson on Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, Andrew Bogut, David Lee and Steve Blake.

The Knicks have Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Amare Stoudemire, JR Smith, all out in the starting lineup, trying to get back some points while Zhang Xin is away. Fraction.

The biggest flaw in the Warriors lineup is Steve Blake, Raymond Felton is a stocky shooting guard.

Facing a short guard like Blake, Felton relied on his body to crush inside, attracting the Warriors' double-team, and then split the ball. Now the Knicks' offense started:
Amal Stoudemire made an empty cut in the middle and received a pass from Felton for a layup;

Carmelo Anthony received a pass from Felton at a 45-degree angle and made a three-pointer;

JR Smith received a pass from Anthony at the bottom corner and made a three-pointer.

Mark Jackson quickly called a timeout, and the score was forced to close to 6 points.

"Except for the problem with Coach Jackson's formation, Blake has no way to limit Felton's breakthrough. Felton's body is too strong, and the players who crushed the Warriors had to defend, so that others would have The seat is empty." Wang Meng said.

"Next, let's see how coach Mark Jackson adjusts and see who will come back. If Mr. Zhang comes back, it will be no problem to restrict Felton. But Mr. Zhang played the whole quarter in the first quarter, and he still played with Anthony in the second half. There is fierce confrontation, and I haven't rested for a few minutes." Yang Yi said.

"Mark Jackson probably wouldn't do this, the game is still long, without Curry and Thompson, the Warriors' rotation has a problem, and the fault tolerance rate is not so high.

This requires coach Mark Jackson to learn to calculate carefully, accurately grasp the characteristics and physical strength of each player, use them in a targeted manner, and give up some advantages at certain times. "Wang Meng analyzed.

"This is the time to test the level of a coach. After all, not every coach is full of talents, and there is always a time to give up." Yang Yi said.

Sure enough, Mark Jackson did not replace Zhang Xin, and he must understand this truth. Mark Jackson replaced Jordan Crawford.

Jordan Crawford is 193cm tall and weighs 89KG. Although he is still not as heavy as Felton, it is almost the same. At least it is not a problem to carry Felton.

This adjustment is effective, at least Felton has no way to directly resist Jordan Crawford, so Felton can't attract double-teams. If he wants to fight against Jordan Crawford, Felton is only 185CM. Jordan Crawford has enough size to interfere.

After the matchup, the Knicks' offense became more difficult. Anthony's JR Smith could only complete the offense with singles again and again, but the efficiency has declined somewhat.

The Warriors' offense is not good either. David Lee is the only one who has a good offense. Fortunately, their ball transmission is still very smooth.

However, Iguodala lifted the coffin board. When no one was attacking, Iguodala finally took off his disguise. He was once the boss of the team. How can he do without a few brushes?
Using Bogut's cover, Iguodala came out to receive a pass from Green, and then broke through to the inside, halfway through, passed the ball to David Lee, and then went around Bogut to the side.

David Lee passed the ball, and Iguodala made a fake shot and shook Stoudemire.

Stoudemire had a knee injury and hadn't gotten rid of the problem of being easily swayed. Iguodala took the ball and slammed it for a dunk. This is a classic wall-hitting coordination;

Felton broke through Jordan Crawford to no avail and wanted to pass the ball out. Seeing the opportunity, Iguodala swooped and snatched the basketball away.

Iguodala immediately made a switch, broke through Stoudemire and JR Smith in one go, and dunked directly!

David Lee received the ball in the low post and rubbed Tyson Chandler hard. The boxing champion was too hard. David Lee didn't rub the ball and passed the ball to Green outside.

As soon as Green changed hands to Iguodala, who was ambushing the bottom line, Iguodala played dead for so long that no one realized that he could shoot a three-pointer. Iguodala jumped up decisively to shoot a three-pointer and made a hit!
Iguodala completely opened the coffin board!

Mike Woodson hurriedly called a timeout. He had a terrible headache. Unexpectedly, the Warriors rested Curry and Thompson, but people continued to stand up. The Golden State Warriors' team building has been very effective in recent years.

It doesn't help to envy other people's team building ideas, but how to solve this problem now.

Looking back at the assistant coach rearranging the defense for the players, it is nothing more than a reminder to carry people, pay attention to the precautions when changing positions, and some details, but there is nothing to do with the overall strategy.

Mike Woodson said: Shrink the defense, this lineup has no three-pointers, if Iguodala and Green can shoot, let them shoot.

Slow down the tempo when attacking, and don't give a chance to counterattack. According to their lineup, as long as they shrink, they won't have too many options.

Sure enough, as soon as the Knicks resolutely implemented the shrinking tactics, the Warriors' offense stagnated.

Iguodala and David Lee wanted to play singles, but the space was too small, and it didn't work after several attempts. Mark Jackson called a timeout and replaced Zhang Xin.

The Warriors are restricted as a whole, and they need someone who is capable of leading the team to break through.
