NBA beast center

Chapter 579

Beast scored 1 points in G52 of the finals, which is enough to prove that he didn't really have full firepower in the regular season.Of course, it's not a matter of his professional attitude, but that there are only so many ball possessions.With a team with the Big Three, it is difficult for you to use more than 30% of the ball alone.

The Cavaliers beat the Warriors away to win G1, and now the pressure is naturally on the Warriors.They must win G2, otherwise it will be too difficult to lose two home games and play G3 away.In this case, it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of reversing the championship.

June 6th, Series G5, Oracle Center Arena.

In this game, the Warriors have changed!

They started Iguodala and replaced the slag.

In this way, it means that the Warriors will start with the death five.

This is the first time they have used this starting lineup so far in the playoffs.Of course, it's not that I haven't used this lineup before, but I haven't started it.This lineup has always been their lineup for closing games, and it is also the lineup with the strongest offense and defense.

The Warriors' five death squads did not start to be used after Durant came. In fact, as early as the 2014-15 season finals, the five death squads appeared, but now Barnes is replaced by Durant.

The addition of Durant makes this lineup more threatening.The improvement on the defensive end is actually not obvious, but on the offensive end, this lineup has changed from a splash to the three tsunami brothers. When the defense, mobility, and space are full, this lineup can deal with almost any lineup.

Generally, small lineups have problems with defense and frame protection, but the Warriors' five death squads have done a good job in both aspects.Green and Iguodala are both DPOY-level defensive players, and Klay and Durant are also elite-level defensive players.The worst defense in this lineup is Curry, but even so, his overall defensive ability is the upper middle of the league's point guards.

Statistics show that Durant and Green have excellent frame protection data when they are insiders, which is surprising, because in many people's eyes, this lineup does not have a real center.

Therefore, many fans think that it is the decline of the current center forward in the league, which makes more and more teams make smaller lineups, use the forward line as an inside line, shoot 3-pointers, play magic balls, and melee inside is becoming more and more rare.

Of course, if the Warriors' team of the Death Five is to be called a nemesis, then a team with a top center can make this lineup pay the price, but the premise is that the team with a top center must be able to match the Death Five in terms of overall strength. .

And the Cavaliers with Beasts is exactly such a team!

The weakness of the Warriors' entire lineup is mainly that they are a small lineup, and they are not a complete 5-out lineup.The 3-point shots of Green and Iguodala are indeed unstable, and they have reached the point where they can be emptied.Moreover, the three offensive cores of this lineup are all partial projection types, not strong burst types. In this case, it is difficult to compress the offensive space and kill the inside line on certain occasions.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup remained unchanged from the previous game.

Responding to all changes with the same is almost the iron law of the winning team in the NBA playoffs.

After the start of the game, the Warriors increased ball transfer and off-ball movement on the offensive end, playing more proactively than in the first game.On the defensive end, they actively and fiercely flanked the beast, and then rotated to cover the outside Cavalier shooters.

The Warriors flanked the beast from the very beginning, and they used their actions to prove why they dared to start with a small lineup when facing the opponent with the league's top center.

Yes, it's pincer attack!

The Warriors' defensive theory is that I can't defend you alone, and I have to use pincers anyway, so why should I use a center?

But pinching will inevitably leak open space. This problem will still exist no matter how fast the Warriors rotate. After all, the speed of people running is not as fast as the speed of ball transfer.

In situations where the Warriors had to go short, he was selective.They will selectively let go of the 3-pointers of Richard Jefferson and James, and resolutely not let go of the 3-pointers of Irving and JR.

The Warriors are very lucky. Today's Jefferson feels off the line, and there have been several unnecessary mistakes.

For the Warriors, Curry was activated in a small lineup today.The Cavaliers also flanked him, but because Iguodala kicked off the coffin cover and hit consecutive open shots, the Cavaliers began to hesitate.

As soon as the Cavaliers' defense hesitated, Curry's opportunity came.

In this game, Curry hit 7 3-pointers and scored 30 points.

The Cavaliers' shooters were inaccurate in this game, forcing the Big Three to continue singles and forcefully score points.

Even if he is flanked and the beast can't catch the ball, he can still use offensive rebounds to force points.Because he was not good at catching the ball, his offense went beyond the 3-point line to catch the ball.

The strategy of the Warriors in this game worked. They flanked + emptied, and the opponent failed to punish them.In addition, their own offense played relatively well, and Curry showed off his power.

The Cavaliers have been trailing, though not by much.

In the second half, the Cavaliers began to fight physically, the intensity of the game suddenly increased, and the offensive efficiency of both sides declined.

At this time, the effect of the Warriors getting Durant came out. At the critical moment of the game, his jumper helped the team stabilize their advantage and finally won the game.

The Warriors' big score became 2:1 due to the series G1.

The Beast was flanked throughout the game, and its score has shrunk significantly compared to the previous game, scoring only 20 points.Of course, in addition to scoring, he also got 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Although the Warriors did not take back the home court advantage, they tied the score and brought back those sloppy fans who overwhelmingly supported the Cavaliers to win the championship.

The Warriors won this game, proving the true power of the Death Five.Now the pressure has actually come to the Cavaliers. Whether they can break the defense of the Death Five is a major focus of the finals.

The Cavaliers returned to Cleveland after finishing G2, and they are going to prepare for G3 and G4.This year's finals will definitely not be as easy as the previous two years, because the opponent has introduced the league's top scorer Durant.

On June 6, after finishing a day of training, the Cavaliers held a tactical meeting to discuss how to deal with the Warriors' dead five.

Death Five is the ultimate move of the warrior, and it can be regarded as the last hole card.If you can win this lineup, it is basically equivalent to winning the opponent and completing 3 consecutive championships.

David Blatt's idea was to use the twin towers to attack the opponent's inside line and gain the advantage of the penalty area and rebounds, but was denied by assistant coach Tyronn Lue and others.

Not only Tyronn Lue and others, dunking James and the beast don't think this is a good way.

Tyronn Lue said: "Whether Anderson or Tristan is used to start with Tom, neither can solve the opponent's flanking problem."
