Super Role Player

The Warriors' progress this season is also obvious to all. Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut are back. One is the Warriors' offensive core and the other is the Warriors' defensive core. The Warriors have 23 wins and 14 losses in the first 37 games.

Of course, Klay Thompson's improvement this season is also huge, from the bad team starting shooting guard who averaged 12 points per game last season to the top starting shooting guard averaging 16 points per game this season.

In addition, Klay Thompson also developed his single defense. It is now the core of the Warriors' perimeter defense. He can defend three positions by himself. Because Curry is thin and has heavier offensive tasks, all the perimeter defense tasks are lost. Klay Thompson's body.

Outside Curry and Thompson formed a one-on-one offensive and one-defense combination, while the inside is also a combination of Andrew Bogut and David Lee’s one offense and one defense, plus the fifth pick Harrison Barnes on the third position. , The Warriors' book strength this season is still quite strong. Inside David Lee and outside Curry are already star-level players, plus the league’s scarce big man Bogut, as well as super substitutes such as Carl Landry and Jared Jack on the bench. It’s no wonder Ben This season the Warriors can achieve such good results.

Therefore, the Warriors should not be underestimated, and the Spurs are also very clear. Before the game, Vitch made meticulous arrangements and specially adjusted the team's starting lineup.

"The starting lineup for this game is point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Manu Ginobili, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan and center Thiago Splitter."

In Vitch's view, when fighting against a team with a balanced internal and external strength like the Warriors, it is necessary to use attacks to defeat the opponent, and at the same time ensure the rebounding of the inside. So the Spurs put on such a starter with outside offense and high inside. line-up.

The game is about to begin. Because this game is the Spurs' home court, the Spurs will appear one after another amid the passionate shouts of the dj on the scene...

After the appearance ceremony, Anxi stood on the sidelines to warm up and pressed down. Stephen Curry made a few three-pointers in the other half, screaming in. After finishing the shots, he also ran to this position, lay down, and started to do it. Sit-ups.

Anxi lifted his leg and continued to press in another direction. As a result, he changed the direction in the wrong direction and kicked his right foot directly to Curry's nose.

Curry turned his head abruptly, and then called out: "Hey, Ann, what are you doing? Do you interfere before the game?"

An Xi stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Stephen, I am not to blame. You shouldn't come here to warm up because you have crossed the line." An Xi pointed to the other half of the court: "You should go there."

Stephen Curry glared at An Xi viciously, but An Xi felt that this was from a kid's glaring.

Anxi smiled and didn't care. In this game, Anxi was still a substitute, so Anxi did a little warm-up. Otherwise, sitting on the court for too long, then a little warm-up would not be enough.

After the warm-up, the game began. The two teams' first serve, the referee blew the whistle, and the basketball flew into the air.

Thiago Splitter and Bogut competed for the ball. The healthy Split won without pressure. After several serious injuries, Bogut's voice was not as good as before. He started to play with the floor flow. Relying on various small means to gain a foothold inside, perhaps the dirty of the Australian national team started with Bogut.

Tony Parker held the ball to the frontcourt, Stephen Curry immediately posted it, this game because of Manuginobili's start, the Warriors' perimeter defense was somewhat stretched.

But there is no big problem. Warriors coach Mark Jackson also carefully studied the game. The Spurs who transformed their offense are indeed not so easy to defend. It can be said that wanting to completely defend the Spurs offense is basically a idiotic dream, so Mark Jackson thinks If you want to win this game, the key lies in offense.

So at the beginning of the game, Mark Jackson shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Defensive expansion, pay attention to protecting the rebounds!"

This sentence is easy to understand. Mark Jackson's idea is to defensively expand, defend the Spurs' outside shots, relax slightly on the Spurs' breakthrough, and then protect the rebounds, combined with the front defensive expansion, and strive to play the fast offense that the Warriors want.

The Warriors want to play fast offense, but the Spurs are unwilling. The reason is simple. You play fast offense. What about my two big men inside? What about the high inside line advantage I pursue? What do the Spurs do with their own positional advantage against the Warriors?

So Vicki also shouted from the sidelines at the same time: "Slow down! Slow down!"

So from the first second of the game, the fierce game began to take shape...

In the Spurs’ first goal, although Curry’s physical fitness was poor, his defense was not that bad, because his harassment skills were still very strong, and he entangled Parker tightly, and Parker threw off Curry through a screen. Here, rushed to the three-point line to get the first point of the game with a jumper.

But the Warriors quickly returned to the color, Stephen Curry rushed to the frontcourt, and after a pick-and-roll screen, he slammed a three-pointer and hit it with a scream!

The arrogant Stephen Curry raised his hand directly amid the boos of the at&t arena...

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, the Spurs had gradually taken the initiative on the field. The score of the two teams was 23:18, and the Spurs led by 5 points.

Vicki called a timeout and then replaced Anxi and Patrick Mills.

"Anxi is on the stage!" Ke Fan yelled loudly in the Sina live broadcast of this game. During this time, the three major domestic broadcasters took turns to broadcast every game of the Spurs, such as today's game. ~www.ltnovel.com~ was broadcast by Sina, and CCTV had just broadcast the Spurs game two days ago, so today I changed my taste and broadcast the Thunder and Mavericks game.

As for Tencent, they do not have complete NBA broadcasting rights, and the number of games that can be broadcast is limited, so they can only select important games for broadcasting.

Anxi played as a small forward, and he was opposed to Warriors backup forward Drummond Green. This rookie of Brandon Buss, who looks a lot like the Celtics, is the second-round rookie of this year. But so far this season, Drummond Green has also won many opportunities for the Warriors.

In fact, the Warriors in recent years have always been very suitable for rookie growth, such as Harrison Barnes and Drummond Green this season, Festus Azeri, and then forward, Charles last season Jenkins and Jeremy Taylor, Klay Thompson, and last season's Epeyudo and Asilao, but there is only one Klay Thompson that really played out, perhaps Harris Barnes is also one.

The Spurs attacked as soon as Anxi came on the field. He stood around the corner, and then faced Drummond Green’s close defense. Suddenly, Anxi discovered that this ugly second-round forward was so powerful that he could squeeze Anxi a bit. Strenuous. (To be continued.)
