The ability of the Warriors' five small players to chase points is too terrifying, or it can be said that the three-point shooting is too powerful. It seems that no matter how many points are in front of them, they can easily recover it.
Even though Wang Zelin has descended from the gods tonight, his personal offensive efficiency is as high as 100%, and his defensive efficiency is close to full, he can't stand up to his opponent's three-point bandits!
The current offensive situation is similar to that of the Trail Blazers, who must maintain a steady stream of offensive output, and the Warriors can quickly catch up with three-pointers even if they occasionally lose power for one or two rounds.
After all, their enemy tonight is the team with the strongest three-point shooting in history!
Returning to the bench with limited time, Coach Terry took a meaningful look at Lillard and Aldridge and then made his own arrangements.
The two people who were nailed looked at each other, thoughtfully in their hearts. What seemed to be on their mind?
Sure enough, the next second I heard Coach Terry say: "Patrick, you come on and take the No. 1 position."
Then, he calmly patted a Trail Blazers player next to him and said: "Boy, don't you really want to be in the limelight? Now the opportunity has come, live broadcast across the country, the strongest opponent, it depends on whether you have the ability to grasp it Got it!"
"Come on, I hope you won't live up to the sweat on the training ground, let alone my expectations!"
The player sitting on the bench of the Trail Blazers nodded and stood up with a strong and energetic voice: "I understand, sir, I promise you, I will give everything I have next!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Before taking the field, the outside world was not optimistic about the Trail Blazers. Some netizens claimed that this game exposed the Blazers' true colors. They are not the strongest team in the Western Conference this season.
The strongest team in the Western Conference has become the Golden State Warriors, and a change of times has arrived.
"Hey! The Trail Blazers have changed their lineup, Coach Zhang. They removed two of their main players and replaced them with Beverley and rookie Harrell. What do you think?" Su Yu asked.
"Maybe he wants to strengthen his defense. Fortunately for Beverley, after all, he has proven that he can provide reliable defense for the Trail Blazers in the past two years. Among the strongest defensive lineups of the Trail Blazers in the past period, Let him play the No. 1 position!
As for Harrell, the rookie, I just..."
At the end of Zhang Lili's speech, he shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't quite understand this change of formation.
The other end.
Tengxun Sports Network Live Room.
"It's over! Pioneer, this is a typical case of seeking medical treatment in a hurry!"
"Forget it Beverly, who is the one with the afro on No. 5? Can any of the older brothers come out and explain?"
“That guy’s name is Montrezl Harrell, he’s the second-round pick of the Trail Blazers this year, and he’s their only rookie player this year.
The biggest highlight of the draft report is that, with a height of 2.03 meters, he is average for playing inside, but his wingspan reaches an astonishing 2.24 meters. He is a typical short and brutal power forward with good defensive talent! Also, that’s not called an afro, it’s called dreadlocks, man! "
“Looking at it this way, it’s not bad!”
"Upstairs, they are talking about defensive talent, not defensive ability! No one can tell whether Harrell has redeemed his defensive talent at this stage."
"So let me just say, the Trail Blazers are probably crazy. They dare to trust a rookie at this time!"
On the scrolling barrage panel, a bunch of netizens were criticizing the Trail Blazers' changes, and most of them were cynics.
There were also boos at the Oracle Arena, thinking that the Trail Blazers' head was caught in the door this time when they made a substitution.
But in fact, this lineup was carefully prepared and studied by Coach Terry not long after the start of the new season.
As the league's top championship contending team, the Warriors have specially prepared their secret weapon. Why aren't the Trail Blazers prepared in private?
Tomato free reading
The core of this lineup is based on Wang Zelin's ultra-high output. On the defensive end, he is paired with four teammates with strong defense, which makes the team's defense directly full.
As for the offense, leave it to Wang Zelin, the scoring champion. Anyway, he is enough. With Lillard and Aldridge, the Trail Blazers' offense will not be greatly improved. More of the offensive firepower will overflow. .
Inspired by the 75ers' tactical system with Allen Iverson as the core at the beginning of that year, four people concentrated on defense and Iverson was responsible for the offense.
Relying on this simple and crude style of play, under the leadership of Iverson at his peak, the Philadelphia 75ers made it all the way to the finals, and also snatched a victory from the Lakers' OK combination.
But Wang Zelin is different from Iverson. While the former maintains his scoring champion level, he also has a historical level of frame protection ability, truly dominating the game on both offense and defense.
Therefore, for this lineup, the Trail Blazers spent a lot of time practicing and running in privately, but it was also the first time for them to actually put it into actual combat like the Warriors.
Therefore, fans have no impression of this lineup at all.
Harrell, after being signed by the Trail Blazers in this year's draft, has been quietly contributing on the bench. He trains hard on weekdays and seldom talks nonsense. In the team system, he often plays with Jokic, and his offensive methods are mostly based on He mainly attacks the basket, but his main job is still a blue-collar job.
However, as the season progressed, the more Coach Terry trained the young man, the more he discovered the energy contained in the latter's body.
Especially on the defensive end, after encountering a large number of opponents, Harrell has become one of the strongest defensive players on the bench. This has made Coach Terry once again raise his expectations for this rookie. .
Therefore, a bold idea formed in Coach Terry's mind.
Just like when the team just acquired Beverley, he chose to use Wang Zelin as the core and boldly put Beverley at the No. 1 position to create the team's strongest defensive lineup.
This time, he will form a terrifying defensive lineup that ranks among the best in history!
Calculating the defensive lineup of the Trail Blazers, they have Wang Zelin in the interior who can almost compete with the strongest defender in history. Beverley has a defensive level at the 1st position. Batum at the 3rd position is also close to the defensive lineup. The ultimate snake oil flanker of ability.
Now, he has trained a defensive genius like Harrell. As a result, the worst personal defense in the Trail Blazers' current lineup has actually become Will Barton.
It would be great if Matthews hadn't left, otherwise the defense of this lineup could be further strengthened!
Looking at this lineup that he had worked so hard to put together, Coach Terry still had a trace of regret in his heart, but soon the thought disappeared from his mind.
With the existing resources, he asked himself that he has achieved the ultimate within his capabilities. Next, let the Golden State Warriors' five deadliest players be the grindstone for my strongest defensive lineup!
Everyone has different thoughts when they are in different positions.
If Wang Zelin and Lillard were not selected by the Trail Blazers, Coach Terry's initial coaching goal may just be to hope that he can lead the team to win a championship in his career.
But now, the Trail Blazers have become a team that has won two consecutive championships, and is about to establish a dynasty for three consecutive championships. How can his inner thoughts at this moment be the same as three years ago?
A higher stage broadens a longer-term vision and only gives birth to greater ambition!
Thinking of the legendary coaches in NBA history, and now that he is very likely to be alongside them, Coach Terry's face lights up with excitement.
Come on, Golden State Warriors, let's see who is the winner this season!
…
Over there with the Warriors.
"What kind of lineup is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Yingodala looked at his teammate Green next to him in confusion.
"Who knows, there can't be a secret weapon hidden on the opposite side!" Green said with a disdainful smile: "In my opinion, this is just the last struggle! Don't worry, this does not change the fact that we will fight immediately Explode their end.”
"Well, that's true."
Thompson on the left agreed with Green's words. It doesn't matter what the opponent's lineup is, just blow it up without thinking too much.
Basketball is a winner-take-all game.
As long as you can win, there is no need to be unreasonable!
Moreover, the Warriors are invincible this season. The players in the team have long developed an invincible aura. They all firmly believe that they are the strongest!
Tonight, the one whose golden body will be broken must be the opposite party!
Beep~~~
The referee blows the whistle and the game continues.
The Trail Blazers' offense is pretty much the same as before. Everyone knows that the biggest weakness of the Warriors' five small teams is the inside, so they try to transfer Wang Zelin inside to handle it.
Whether he is working alone or setting up a second pass, Wang Zelin has scored 50+ points in this game, and his shooting percentage is quite ridiculous, maintaining 100%. He is undoubtedly the most trustworthy person on the Trail Blazers field!
After a while, there was a bang from the Warriors basket, and the basket was blasted open by No. 36 again.
I really can’t prevent it!
Green has looked away now. He really can't handle No. 36, but No. 36 can't handle their offense either. That's enough.
Since I can't guard you, I'll use a stronger attack to crush you!
Green quickly served from the backcourt, Curry quickly advanced with the ball, and the other three were not slow in their steps. In less than four seconds, the entire Warriors team passed the half court and got into position, and then started running.
Super mobility is undoubtedly the strongest point of the Warriors' lineup, especially the ability to create space in passing and cutting, which is rare in history.
Once the five trots start, as long as they cooperate with each other tacitly, the power of the ball will be difficult to guard.
Half time passed.
The Splash Brothers felt great tonight, so after Curry passed halftime, no one on the Trail Blazers dared to double-team him.
Because Curry's ability to play the ball is also very fast, and Thompson also made everyone in the Trail Blazers remember him with a difficult three-pointer just now.
The Warriors first played a high pick-and-roll. Ying Guodala broke through with the ball and met Harrell at the top of the right arc. Thompson stepped forward to cover him. Ying Guodala bypassed Harrell and hit the basket along the free throw line in the middle. .
Beverley wants to make up defense?
The awareness is very good, but the size is almost impossible to prevent.
"Peng!"
After the violent collision, Yingodala shook off Beverley in the blink of an eye, tore apart the defense, stepped into the penalty area and leaped forward to complete the dunk.
Facing Yingodala who was already charging, Beverly knew he couldn't guard him. In order not to suffer a foul, he could only choose to stand where he was and interfere as much as possible.
And just when Yingodala was about to dunk, with a swish sound, Wang Zelin moved sideways from the flank.
"Dang!"
He bent his knees and jumped up, his feet moving very fast as if they had been boosted. He jumped back first and flew towards Yingodala from the wing. He waved out his big hand and knocked the basketball away from Yingodala's hand.
"Oh my god, this can also be punished!"
The home commentator was shocked and said in amazement: "That's Yingodala who has completely charged up! How could this happen..."
Warriors bench.
Cole shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the team would be better off attacking the basket less often. The opponent's No. 36's ability to protect the basket was outrageous.
Sometimes he even feels that the defense displayed by No. 36 has even surpassed the insiders of this era.
"Nice hat!"
"Boss, you are so handsome!"
"..."
On the Trail Blazers bench, all the teammates were excited, and some could not help but wave their white towels wildly.
After Wang Zelin grabbed the rebound, he led a group of teammates to launch a fast break, but the Warriors returned to defense too quickly and the fast break failed.
Fall into positional warfare.
After Wang Zelin encountered a defense in a low single, he made a wonderful pass to assist Harrell, who cut in, or opened and closed, with his braids flying, and dunked successfully, scoring his first goal of the game.
95:91, the Trail Blazers lead by 4 points.
Offense and defense transition.
Green received the ball in the backcourt and advanced quickly, trying to steal one. After a continuous run in the frontcourt, Thompson had an opportunity in the left corner.
However, as soon as he raised his head after receiving the ball, he found another Trail Blazers player appearing next to him.
Among the five small lineups, Thomson should be the one with the worst ball control ability, so he didn't mess around and passed back to Green near the free throw line.
Green was about to catch the ball and plan to make a mid-range shot. A player wearing the No. 5 jersey quickly arrived. Green wanted to break through, but he quickly encountered a strong obstacle.
Damn it, how could I be guarded by a rookie? He's not No. 36!
With a surge of anger, Green squeezed in another step, then suddenly heard a snap, and then his hand was empty.
The ball was touched by No. 5 in front of me!
Green tried to grab back, but the huge body of Trail Blazers No. 5 flew out and jumped towards the basketball.
Actually staged a flying dive? Do you want to work so hard?
The hard work of this rookie player from the Trail Blazers surprised everyone.
This goal immediately attracted many people from the Warriors to surround him. After all, it is not easy for a big man's body to get inertia, which gave the Warriors a chance to swarm forward.
The splash brothers all put their hands on the ball and wanted to fight for it. As a result, I asked, why is this guy so tight, I want to stuff the ball into my stomach.
After a scramble, the referee on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore and quickly gave the ball to the scrimmage.
This penalty is correct and there is no problem.
Then there's the fight between Harrell and...Curry!
There was no suspense. Curry had just taken off and Harrell caught the ball.
"Snapped!"
Wang Zelin caught the ball first and immediately rushed to the opposite half, attracting the defensive attention of a large number of Warriors players.
This was exactly what he wanted. He immediately passed the ball halfway to Batum, who hit a three-pointer.
The score difference has reached the familiar 7:0 lead again!
Then, the Warriors were forced to call a timeout.
