I am so Accurate

Chapter 638 The answer to the ball

When the two teams shook hands at the end of the game, Nelson took Yi Jianlian and chatted for a long time.

Although the chance of the Warriors trading Yi Jianlian is very small or even non-existent, this does not stop Nelson from liking him at all.

Just like Popovich did to James in history, although he didn't have the opportunity to cooperate, it couldn't stop him from saying in public that he wanted to coach James more than once.

But like it, Yi Jianlian will become Nelson's biggest headache in the following games.

Two days later, G4 of the finals continued at Oracle Arena.

Nelson's response in this game was that he slowed down!

He no longer competed with the Bulls for speed and transition, but instead lowered the tempo and turned the game into a positional battle.

This adjustment seems surprising, but it is also the difference between Nelson now and Nelson in history.

Nelson in history was extremely obsessed with offense, so his team never played defense.

But now, that has changed as early as the Mavericks.

Otherwise, the Mavericks team would not be able to win the championship.

He is still an offensive coach, but he also has certain positional warfare and defensive abilities.

After the last game, he realized that Yi Jianlian is capable of fully surrounding Ibaka.

If they continue to play small ball, the Warriors are likely to lose like the last game.

He pushed the game into position and used Landry as a driving force.

So what you can see in the game is Landry holding the ball in the low post more than once.

Peja, who is facing him, is a swaying forward, but a typical player with strong offense and weak defense is really at a disadvantage when facing Landry.

And although Ibaka is not as good as Yi Jianlian, the Warriors still have space on the court, and it is not easy for the Bulls to double-team.

This tactic worked very well at the beginning.

And Scott's iconic hands crossed his chest, dumbfounded.

With the support of his peers, Nelson fully demonstrated Zhuge Nelson's abilities.

But soon, the effectiveness of this tactic became less and less.

It's not that there's something wrong with Landry's condition, it's that the Warriors have nothing to do on the defensive end!

Replace with Oden, Oden can't get out.

With Ibaka, Paul can easily score from the basket.

This is also a scene that many teams in history have experienced for five hours when facing the death of the Warriors.

Old Nelson was beaten to the point of losing his temper by someone else's own tactics...

In his heart, he scolded Scott for being such a shameless person.

But the scolding was in vain, and the Warriors finally lost G4 110-116.

The Bulls are in full bloom, with Paul, Yi Jianlian and Hamilton all scoring 20 points.

2 to 0, 2 to 2.

No one could have imagined this big score change.

And the change is completely visible.

Nelson used a lineup without a center, and the Warriors had the upper hand;

The Bulls followed suit, because the lineup was more suitable for Nelson's tactics, and the Bulls had the upper hand again.

"Fake small ball lineups" filled the entire finals.

The finals are still very suspenseful so far, but it can be predicted that no matter who wins this year, Nelson will become popular again.

Because he once again led the basketball trend, and this time on a big stage like the Finals.

“What else can the Warriors do?”

In the latest episode of TNT's program, the Big Three commentators brought up such a topic.

Although there is still suspense, it is completely different from before the finals. Now it is obvious that the Bulls have the upper hand.

They really want to fulfill the fans' expectations and make this season legendary.

But people are like this sometimes. You expect one person to win, but when that person really wants to win, you will hope that the disadvantaged side can reverse the situation.

This is the so-called "sympathy for the weak" mentality.

"They need Sun!"

Barkley still had the same answer as always.

"Charles, this is not about one player, this is a whole new concept of basketball."

This time, Ernie Johnson took over the conversation before Kenny Smith could wait.

Before this, they had never seen a situation where they would have an advantage without using a big center.

If O'Neal was still here, or if the Wizards entered the Finals and Yao Ming was here, this situation would not happen.

But now this assumption does not hold true!

The reality they see is that no matter who the two teams use a big center now, they will be at an absolute disadvantage.

Whether it's because Chandler and Oden don't have enough inside dominance, or because Nelson's crazy experiment was successful, this is the reality.

"I do have a suggestion."

Kenny Smith looked serious this time.

His mood also aroused the curiosity of Backus and Johnson.

"Since it is a lineup without a center, I think the Warriors can do a more thorough job and replace Carl Landry."

"What's the meaning?"

Buckley didn't react.

"Let KD play the 4th position."

Kenny Smith expressed his understanding.

"Are you serious?"

Buckley's face was filled with disbelief.

Smith's understanding can be said to be very bold.

Because although Durant is tall enough, his current weight makes it impossible to play the fourth position.

Even before Sun Hao came to the Warriors, he mostly played shooting guard.

The swing in this position is a bit too much.

"I'm serious. We can't simply look at whether KD can play the fourth position. We have to look at their opponents. Tell me who the player will be against if KD plays the fourth position?"

Smith asked rhetorically.

"Peja Skjakovic."

Ernie Johnson answered for Barkley.

"So? So!"

Kenny Smith spread his hands and looked at Barkley.

Buckley thought for a while, then nodded.

In order to pursue the ultimate sense of space, the Bulls used Peja to play the fourth position.

But when it comes to Peja, he mainly plays small forward.

Although his body type and weight can play the fourth position, his playing style when playing the fourth position has nothing in common with the traditional fourth position.

In other words, the imaginary picture of Durant using his strength to top people in the low post will not appear.

The two's offense and defense will focus more on the outside and off the ball.

Looking at it this way, Durant has no problem playing the fourth position.

This episode of TNT's show quickly aroused heated discussions among fans on social media.

This feels like there are fans on the Bulls side, but TNT on the Warriors side!

The Battle of Tianwangshan will continue in two days at Oracle Arena.

Fans have been talking about it on social media in the past two days, and then when the Warriors were training, a reporter also mentioned this matter to Nelson.

"Have you seen the latest episode of TNT?"

Old Nelson nodded honestly.

"So you will use KD to play the 4th position?"

"perhaps."

Nelson's answer is intriguing.

It is basically impossible for him to reveal the team's style of play in the next game before the game.

But his non-negative answer showed that he had indeed considered Smith's suggestion.

Durant appears at the fourth position in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain?

This kind of thing is not impossible!

Two days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the battle at Tianwang Mountain was about to begin at the Oracle Arena.

Because of Smith's remarks, because of the current situation in the finals, and because it is the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, this game has attracted the highest attention since the finals.

Then, under the attention of fans around the world, Nelson once again made adjustments to the starting lineup.

Sun Hao, Curry, McGrady, Durant, Ibaka!

Nelson actually adopted Smith's suggestion and asked Durant to play the fourth position and directly start the game!

When this lineup came out, Scott was instantly confused.

But the fans at the scene became excited immediately.

Let’s not talk about the effect of Durant playing the fourth position, but this unprecedented thing itself is very exciting!

After the opening ceremony, the photographers at the scene also kept taking shots of Durant.

Durant seemed to have no pressure at all.

Soon, the match between the two sides officially started.

Ibaka jumped to win the ball for the Warriors.

Then, something interesting happened.

The Warriors' first attack after advancing into the frontcourt was given to Durant in the low post!

Good guy, I didn’t see the scene where Peja hit Durant on the back, but Durant hit Peja on the back first.

Moreover, this back-up shot was really professional. After turning around continuously and shooting backwards, Durant completely threw Peja away.

"Uh-huh!"

Then, with a beautiful fadeaway shot, Durant sent the ball steadily into the basket!

At this time, Oracle Arena was boiling.

From now on, the fourth position belongs to Durant!

But actually, the scene before me was not surprising at all.

As mentioned before, among the top ten offensive methods announced by the NBA, although Durant is not yet perfect at them all, he is still good at them all.

As for the "low post" he just showed, Durant can even be said to be proficient.

Because what many people may not know is that Durant actually played inside in college, and most of the time he played center!

Therefore, Smith's suggestion is not to make things difficult for Durant, but just to ask him to pick up what he has thrown away before!

Then, the game turned into a battle of attacks.

Many fans will say that there is no defense in the small ball era.

This is actually wrong. Before Adam Mosaic relaxed the penalty standards in order to so-called improve the enjoyment of the game, the games in the small ball era were also very exciting.

This point refers to the cavalry battles in history.

The so-called feeling of no defense is just a visual perception caused by the large offensive space on the field and the inability of many assisting defenses to rotate.

Now both sides have no good way to deal with this kind of deadly five-small style of play on the defensive end, and the game can easily turn into an offensive battle.

Then, the Bulls were directly overwhelmed by talent...

And just like Yi Jianlian's advantage over Ibaka, the Warriors' advantage over the Bulls also makes the Bulls lose their temper.

After all, the Warriors have the number one scorer in history, the top two shooters in history, and there is also T-mac!

The reason why McGrady is brought here is because McGrady makes up for the biggest organizational problem of the Warriors' lineup.

In the history of that Warriors team, this life belonged to Green, and now it belongs to McGrady.

Some people will say, isn’t there Sun Hao?

This is different. The "James System" style of play is very energy-consuming, especially in offensive games.

If Sun Hao wants to score as many points as possible, someone must help him share the organizational pressure.

McGrady's greatest value to the Warriors is also reflected in the most critical games.

On the other hand, for the Bulls, Paul looked particularly tired at this time.

Because he needs to grasp the offensive organization, even Iverson at the time would find it difficult to do these two things well at the same time.

Paul, naturally, seemed to have the feeling of "having more than enough ambition but not enough power".

In the end, after four quarters of fierce fighting, the Warriors defeated the Bulls 126-113 and won the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

For the Bulls, Paul scored a huge double-double with 29 points and 12 assists, but he had no choice but to participate in the empty score.

For the Warriors, Sun Hao scored a game-high 46 points. He only had to focus on scoring, but he felt like he was just killing indiscriminately on the court.

In addition, Durant also had a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds. The power forward played very comfortably.

McGrady also had an outstanding performance with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists.

If he didn't perform well in the previous playoffs, then he completely proved his worth in this game.

3 to 2, winning the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, the Warriors' championship situation suddenly became very good.

And what fans feel after watching this game is that the Warriors' G5 lineup is the answer to Nelson's tactical system!

And as Zhang Weiping teased before, the only thing they need to improve may be to let Ibaka practice three-pointers!

Losing Tianwangshan, the Bulls were forced into a desperate situation.

The good news is that according to the current 2-3-2 Finals format, the next game will return to the United Center.

Playing at home, they hope to tie the score to 3-3 and then continue to play the tiebreaker at home.

This is also what many Bulls fans expect.

So at the United Center in G6, the fans were as crazy as ever.

Even this madness goes a little too far.

At the hotel where Warriors fans stayed, some Bulls fans made all kinds of noise outside the hotel late at night to disrupt the rest of the Warriors players.

Although the rioting fans were eventually taken away by the police, they enjoyed the "heroic" cheers from other fans.

What is very interesting is that Jordan and his Bulls also encountered similar or even more serious "poisoning incidents."

As a result, now, it's Bulls fans' turn to do this kind of thing.

However, this did have some effect. During the G6 game the next day, the Warriors players obviously didn't sleep well.

Including Sun Hao, he couldn't help but yawned several times while sitting on the sidelines.

This also made the originally relatively clear situation of the finals become a bit confusing again.
