Super Heavy Artillery

v3 Chapter 491: change

In the second quarter of the game, both sides played a long time off the bench. Especially the Warriors, their benches come in large numbers. Under the leadership of two experienced veterans, Iguodala and Livingston, they will slowly follow their approaching score.

Compared to the previous game, the Thunder's benches performed well tonight. Under the leadership of Paul George, although they were narrowed by the opposition, they have always maintained their lead on the field.

In the second half, the main players played in succession. The two sides once again launched a fierce competition.

At this time, Cole made a change. He only let Green play for 2 minutes! The Thunder have always used Green to double-team other outside players. This made Splash and Durant very uncomfortable. Every attack has to face the defense of two people, either before the opponent has completely surrounded them, or just bite the bullet and shoot. This makes the Warriors' offensive efficiency significantly reduced. Although the Thunder's offensive efficiency is not high in the second half of the game, they still dominate the game.

Therefore, Cole simply replaced Green. He asked Durant to go to position four and replaced Iguodala. Such a change does indeed change the passiveness of the offensive end. After all, the Thunder didn't dare to empty Iguodala. Regardless of the fact that this guy doesn't score high in every game, it's all because of fewer shots and higher offensive efficiency than most players. Especially in the playoffs, this is even more obvious. The man who stole the FMVP from Curry after all! Grant did not dare to pull out to help An Luo and others double-team the opponent's outside players! On the contrary, he still needs help from others, Durant is too strong.

However, such a change did not allow the Warriors to reverse the disadvantaged situation. Although their offense has been greatly improved, they also helped the Thunder improve. Without Green, it became difficult for the Warriors to constantly cover and switch positions in the face of the Thunder. Durant and Iguodala are both very good defensive players, but they lack the passionate and unstoppable momentum of Green. His performance on the court was not as positive as Green.

Moreover, without Green, the Warriors' offense has not reached the strongest state. Green's role for the Warriors is only part of the defensive end. His support can free Curry. Many of Curry's points come from Green's assists. As far as Curry is concerned, the offense with the ball is no problem, and the team's offense is no problem, but when he takes on the job of the first position, the lethality on the offensive end is greatly reduced. No one except Green can help Curry do these things.

At the end of the first half, Curry missed a super long three-pointer and temporarily fixed the score at 53:64. The Warriors still trail the Thunder by double digits. The changes in the second quarter gave the Warriors some results. After all, they entered the second quarter with a 23-point disadvantage. However, they have not been able to completely solve the problems in the lineup. Substituting Iguodala for Green is also tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, and it cannot cure the root.

During the break, there was laughter in the Thunder locker room. Their happiness does not come from the lead on the court. In fact, for teams like the Thunder and the Warriors, the 11-point difference is not a lead at all. Once they play poorly on the court, the opponent can smooth it out in two or three rounds. They themselves have done such a thing. Their happiness comes from the return of Adams. In fact, at the beginning of the game, players like Donovan and Anlo were still a little worried. Although Donovan has repeatedly communicated with team doctors and professional medical experts to confirm, everyone is still very worried about Adams. For any professional player, injuries must be treated with caution.

But now it seems that Adams is indeed cured. With him sitting at the basket, the Thunder's defense has improved a lot. For players like Green, the most stable means of scoring is to rush to the basket and layup. Noel could not defend the opponent before, but in this game, it is obvious that Green's efficiency at the basket has dropped sharply. You know, once Green can score, the Warriors' offense is unsolvable. When no points are scored at the basket, Green is embarrassed on the court.

If the Warriors can't resolve the conflict between Green's defense, support, and offense, this game will be difficult. It can even be said that this series is difficult. In the face of a team like the Thunder, any weakness may become a breakthrough for the opponent. Besides, Green's weakness is so obvious.

Of course Cole understands this, and he won't sit still. In fact, when he took Green down, he was trying to plug this weakness. UU read www.uukanshu.com but now it seems that Green still has to be on the court. Green is a double-edged sword, often killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred. How to enhance Green's deterrence on the offensive end is the key to Cole's solution to the current dilemma. As long as Green can score, the Thunder dare not empty it at will. In this way, he can contain some of the Thunder's defensive strength, and the situation of other players will not be as difficult as the first quarter.

Kerr is thinking of a way, and the Warriors players are thinking of ways. Curry chatted with Thompson and Green. They told Green that they had to make decisive shots if they had the opportunity. In the previous game, Green was very hesitant to face the open three-pointer several times, and finally reluctantly shot and finally hit the iron. In these two seasons, his three-point ability has degraded too quickly! If Green is still in the state of 14 or 15 years, no one dares to let him take the ball from the three-point line. For a pitcher, confidence is very important. Green is not a pitcher, but he is capable of three-pointers. It's just that he himself has no confidence. As a result, he is stuck in an endless loop where the more he casts the more biased, the more biased he is, the less he dared to cast.

The commentators, fans and even players of other teams who are following this game are also expressing their opinions in various ways. But most of these people have the mentality of watching the excitement. Although the onlookers see the problem very clearly, they do not understand the actual difficulties. A lot of talk and talk, but just talk on paper.

Donovan is also helping "find a way." Of course, he is not about how to get the opponent to win the game. Donovan knows the Warriors well, but he still has to think about what changes the Warriors will make in the next game from Cole's point of view.
