One Guard

Chapter 760 : Death 5 hours

Stephen Curry’s self-confidence left Yiyang’s heart lingering. So much so that after returning home from the charity event, he has been wondering what exactly the Warriors have come up with to deal with the Mavericks.

But the more you think deeply, the more confused Yiyang’s brain becomes. How can I guess the minds of others, if I can, Yiyang won’t have to “quick talent” to play basketball.

Shaking his head, Yiyang simply let go of his thoughts, and hugged his wife to sleep beautifully. Knowing that Yiyang will have an important game to play tomorrow, Vignali is much more “faithful” today. She put on a set of ordinary, even looking sloppy pajamas, just to “stimulate” Yiyang as little as possible.

Until the next morning when he woke up with the sun, Yiyang couldn’t wait to rush to the American Airlines Center Arena after eating breakfast. For tonight’s battle, Yiyang is already very eager to see the “answer”.

What tricks the Warriors will use, whether the Mavericks can withstand the opponent’s changes, these are unknown, Yiyang wants to know what he really wants.

But before the game started, Carlisle gave Yiyang the answer.

“That said, the Warriors must play a small lineup.” Listening to Yiyang’s description of Curry’s confident appearance, Carlisle couldn’t help frowning.

“Small lineup?”

“Yes, the Warriors’ small lineup. In the last round of the series, in the face of the Grizzlies’ tight defense, the Warriors were able to reverse the game by relying on the small lineup. If there is any way for Cole, then It must be a small lineup.”

“If you can do this, isn’t their inside line completely at a disadvantage!?” Yiyang spread his hands. If Kerr really plays a small lineup, then the highest point on the Warriors field will be just two meters tall. Green and Barnes in their early days. In this way, Gobert and Nowitzki will surely turn the tide on the inside.

“Don’t forget, Randolph and Gasol’s twin tower lineup may be the best combination in the league to play inside offense. However, they can’t do much with the Warriors’ small lineup. Green is short, but he Rudy’s defense is more than enough for Rudy, who can’t attack. As for Barnes, his power is terrible. Under his interference, Dirk may not play too easily. And the characteristics of the Warriors’ small lineup are not. Defending, but attacking.” With that, Carlisle took a tactical board and discussed it with Yiyang seriously.

“During the time when the Warriors’ small lineup is playing, the team’s characteristics and advantages can be displayed and infinitely magnified. Fast break, high pick and roll, air cut, moving ball…When the Warriors five small lineup group debuts, The three-pointer shooting rate is higher. Under this system, everyone is a passer, which is similar to the Spurs offensive system, but everyone is also an end point, which is very scary. Especially when they revolve around The tactics created by three-pointers rely on the personal offensive strengths of Curry and Thompson, two historical three-point shooters, to drive the offensive of the entire team. Under this offensive system, they have also borrowed from many excellent coaches, such as Phil .Jackson’s “triangular offense”, with Green as the core to run around him, using Green’s assist ability to let the strong players in the team play singles, etc…” During the speech, Carlisle held the position. The tactical board has been drawn densely, but he believes that Yiyang can understand it.

“What you mean is that the Warriors have to use the ultimate fast-paced offense to make up for the defensive deficiencies.”

“That’s right. Once the five small lineups are on the court, it won’t take long to score high points. It will be very difficult for other teams to chase afterwards. The Memphis Grizzlies were picked up like this. “Carlisle shook his head. If everything is really as he thought, then the Warriors’ offensive power is very, very scary.

The spear and shield showdown, the Grizzlies’ strong western shield has been pierced. Now, it’s the Dallas Mavericks’ turn.

Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals is the same as last year. In the Eastern Conference, the Eastern Conference finals between the Cavaliers and the Eagles are almost reaching the point where no one cares about them. The Western Conference Finals is very lively.

Before the game started, Curry and Yiyang looked at each other specially. Sure enough, they were completely different from when they were in the orphanage yesterday afternoon. Yiyang is not humorous at all, his face is expressionless and cruel. Curry is not humble at all. You can’t see cuteness from Yiyang on his face, only an arrogance full of confidence.

According to Cole’s inertia, the five small lineups will not appear at the beginning. Usually, this small lineup only plays less than 15 minutes, but the Warriors often rely on those 15 minutes to kill the game. Therefore, this small lineup also has a very bluffing name-Death Five.

When the game first started, everything was normal. The Warriors still used the starting lineup from the previous game, nothing special.

In the first quarter of the game, both sides did their part. Yiyang still scored a few goals on Barnes, but it was not as easy as yesterday.

And Curry also has no softness, this guy is basically the same as Yiyang, no defense can completely contain him. In this game, Cole developed a lot of double-screen tactics for Curry. That is, Green and Bogut are on the same side, making two layers of cover for Curry! In this way, not to mention the difficulty of Yiyang’s follow-up defense, even the difficulty of patching defense is equally great!

Relying on this trick, Curry scored 4 three-pointers in the first quarter. Two of them were hit under Yiyang’s interference. Once this guy feels the shot, he is really perverted.

And the Mavericks were not to be outdone, Yiyang made 3 of 5 three-pointers, not inferior. After the first quarter, the Warriors led by 36 to 32 by four points. 36 points in a single quarter, which is already a very high score. What Cole didn’t expect was that the Mavericks could still bite.

“The series with Stephen Curry is definitely another classic of fairy fights in the history of the NBA playoffs!”

No wonder no one is watching the Eastern Conference Finals at all. It’s not that the Cavaliers and Hawks are not good, but the Mavericks and Warriors are too strong.

In the first half of the second quarter, the two teams still played anxiously. But after six minutes of the game, Steve Kerr began to make substitutions. Curry, Thompson, Livingston, Barnes and Green were all present at the same time, and the Death Five is finally here!

At this time, the Mavericks are still on the court with Dirk and Gobert on the court. Although Gobert’s movement speed is very fast in the interior, he still seems very strenuous in the face of the ultra-fast offensive and defensive speed of the five minors!

Five athletes with super athletic ability will inevitably have an advantage in speed. Without a traditional tall center, they can enjoy the fast attacking rhythm and increase the number of offensive rounds and points. In addition, the Warriors players feel very good today, and they make frequent shots. After a while, the Warriors opened a few points.

Fast-paced, high number of rounds and high scores, Kerr got everything he wanted!

Yiyang thought about giving the ball to Nowitzki and Gobert, but the problem also appeared. Gobert faced Green on the inside, and he didn’t even take the slightest advantage! Because of Gobert’s rough technique, the only way to score is to catch the ball, dunk or layup. But the strong Green pushed Gobert’s suffocating tower far away from the basket, so Gobert’s height advantage could not be played out at all.

Subsequently, Yiyang tried Nowitzki. Have to admit. Barnes’s pushing did greatly affect Dirk’s rhythm. Dirk was still able to score and was not directly defeated like Randolph. But Dirk’s offensive efficiency, with the Warriors’ five small, high-round, fast-paced offense, is simply insignificant.

Yiyang ran out of breath, and the five minors allowed the Warriors to switch defenses to the Mavericks outside lines more flexibly. There was basically no dislocation. Even Livingston is facing Iguodala, there is no obvious disadvantage in height. Although Livingston played as a point guard, he was 2.01 meters tall anyway.

Coupled with Curry’s precise shooting, the Warriors widened the point difference to ten points before the end of the half game under the destructive offensive of the Death Five!

Ten points, this is also the biggest difference between the two teams in the series so far!

“Damn, terrifying offensive efficiency!” During the intermission, Yiyang’s fists never relaxed. The five powers of the Warriors’ death is more terrifying than Yiyang imagined.

It can be said that the first time the Warriors used the dead five, it was forced out by the Grizzlies. This time, the Mavericks once again forced out all the potential of the Warriors.

In fact, it wasn’t just Yiyang that felt incredible. When the Warriors fell 1-2 behind the Grizzlies in the last series, the Warriors’ special adviser Nick Urain suggested to use a five-small lineup. At that time, even Warriors coach Cole didn’t seem very confident about such a change. In other words, even Cole himself did not expect the power of the five small ones to be so great! After all, in the basketball world, no one has ever played this game like this!

But now, see what they did? They made the great Dallas Mavericks helpless!

In the third quarter of the game, the Warriors’ regular lineup battles! Under the leadership of Yiyang, the Mavericks became more and more courageous. Yiyang made frequent RF shots outside the three-point line and his training was not in vain. And Wade is holding the ball to attack the city, and Wade will not be soft when it is time to contribute!

The Warriors looked a bit unable to withstand such a counterattack. Not only did the Mavericks move back to a very short margin, they also surpassed them by two points at the end of the third quarter! In this section of the game, Yiyang let Curry “swallow the egg” outside the three-point line. The Mavericks forced out the strongest warrior, and the Warriors also forced out the strongest Mavericks.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the point difference between the two sides fluctuated between two points and zero points. Mike Brin was fascinated by it, and every time he paused, he had a chance to breathe.

In the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, Cole once again put on a five-small lineup. This time, the Mavericks are prepared. But Nowitzki and Gobert couldn’t keep up with the rhythm of the fifth minor offense at all. In the five elementary school’s constant screens and running positions, Nowitzki and Gobert turned out to be weak points. The Warriors don’t kill the three-second zone, just float outside and shoot! Now, they finally know why the Warriors can defeat the Grizzlies.

In the past, people thought that shooting could not kill the game. But in 2011, the Mavericks won the championship with the organization of Kidd and Yiyang and China Investment Corporation. And now the Warriors, relying on mid- and long-distance shooting, are marching towards the championship!

The offensive firepower of the five small lineups is simply uncontrollable, and everyone in the Warriors shot today, from Curry to Green, everyone can hit the shot, which undoubtedly makes the Mavericks defense even more difficult.

In the last 23 seconds, Curry assisted Green in a hit. After Gobert was blocked by Barnes, there was no time to cover Green, who was like an outside line.

After this ball, the Warriors led the Mavericks by 4 points. At the last moment, Yiyang made a magical three-pointer and scored his 35th point in the game. But helpless, time is no longer on the side of the Mavericks. In the end, in the face of the death five, the Mavericks were only able to swallow the defeat by one point.

108 to 109, this is the Mavericks’ first loss in the playoffs this season!

“The Golden State Warriors broke the Mavericks’ undefeated golden status with the five-death team ! The incredible Golden State Warriors won the game even with 35 points! God! Ah, maybe only they can do this in the entire league!” At the end of the game, Mike Brin felt that his breathing was no longer smooth, and he could only let his breathing return to normal by yelling.

“Fuck, if one more minute, no, another 24 seconds…” Yiyang unwillingly punched the basketball hoop, very unwilling.

And Cole, who won the ball, was also a little frightened. He has increased the playing time of the five dead, but only won the Mavericks by one point. What a joke! ? Even if the Warriors scored one less goal, the result of today’s comparison would be very different!

The shield of the Mavericks is already more terrifying than the Grizzlies, who are known for their defense.

Carlisle did not feel much distress after losing the ball. Although he was a little unwilling, he seemed to have found a solution after seeing the Warriors’ five juniors….

The total score is 1 to 1, which means that the game between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage.
