0263 The Ghost King's Unusual Move
Right now Durant is nominally still a high school student,
However, after the end of the Crazy Three game in early April, he has announced that he will join the University of Texas at Austin.That decision surprised many, because the recruiting universities included Connecticut, Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina and Louisville.
For joining Austin, Durant explained that he wants to take a path that belongs to him and is different from the public.
It can only be said that the young Durant has an unimaginable understanding of how to choose to join that team.
So many years later, when I changed teams, I unexpectedly joined a team that made everyone's jaw drop.
"At that time, discrediting Durant is not a winner, and he is not stable enough. He changed schools three times in high school but had no results. What McDonald's All-Star MVP was won with a rookie like Zeiss Budinger. Discrediting is worthless..."
Su Yang laughed while thinking about it, thinking that in order to get Durant, he really had to use all kinds of methods, and he couldn't take the initiative to talk about Durant. It's not the kind of brain-dead nigger like Perkins, who can only do shows or accept interviews, and show his underestimation of Durant between inadvertent answers.
Make up your mind, stop thinking about it,
Su Yang continued to work hard on how to play against the king.Assistant coach Wells proposed to let Posey start to limit the muscle stick Weltz, or simply let Danny Grangerdon start to limit Weltz, as long as Weltz does not use his size advantage to charge up, the defense will at least succeed Half, and assistant coach Melvin did not need to change the starting lineup, but adopted an infinite defense strategy to target the Kings,
Because after Webber left the Kings' No. 201 position, Kenny Thomas was only 117 centimeters tall. Although he weighed [-] kilograms, his ability to hold the ball was average.
"I watched Su Yang bring Kenny Thomas in the Rockets, and I also watched Su Yang target Thomas. Over the past few years, Kenny Thomas's technical means have not been updated. We can completely limit it by switching defenses. The focus is on defense. Ky Wills..."
After Melvin finished speaking, Stevens and other assistant coaches nodded in agreement, preferring to let Thomas not let Wiltz score.
"Don't worry, you can make adjustments on the spot."
Su Yang made a final decision. Whether Posey starts or changes to prevent interference, the Warriors have the ability to make changes on the spot according to the performance of the King and Wiltz. Their strength is so strong. He is not Rivers who reacts slowly on the spot, so there is no need to restrain the players in advance.
The next day on the 22nd match day,
Su Yang arrived at the Chase Center at [-]:[-] p.m., took the Warriors to warm up before the game for the first time in the new venue, focused on training and switching defenses, and quickly returned to their positions after heavy delays. Then they went to the brand-new media center and accepted reporters from all walks of life for the first time. Interview before the game.
Time Warner, the big sponsor, first asked a question: "There is a TV station that starts with E, a commentator named Pelton, who thinks that although you have won 70+ games, it is the weakest compared to the previous three consecutive championships. causing you great trouble,
Even if you Warriors win the game, even if it is a four-to-zero sweep, it will consume a lot. What's your response? "
Su Yang shrugged slightly, "I suggest that everyone encourage Pelton as much as possible, because it is a noble thing for him to play a clown and get slapped in the face crazily. It is a noble thing to make fun of everyone. No matter what he predicts in the future, everyone thinks he is right. OK..."
Now the Warriors are indeed weaker than the previous three years, but that is also compared to the Warriors themselves, and they are still very strong compared to other teams.
The king can indeed cause some trouble, but a normal response to Pelton is to increase his enthusiasm, which is unnecessary.
The TNT reporter then asked: "Since the establishment of the NBA, whether you were in Philadelphia or later moved to Oakland, it is the first time that you Warriors have played against the Kings in the playoffs. This is very special for two teams with a long history.
What do you think this means? "
Su Yang put away his smile: "This means that the NBA is a strong sports league that continues to develop. The Kings team was established in 1948, and our Warriors team was established in 46. Now 50 years have passed. Our two teams have undergone urban relocation and still exist in the The league has become a collective memory of several generations of American people. This time, the civil war is going on in the Pacific Division. There is reason to believe that it will be a special memory of Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, and even the entire Northern California, including Southern California, and even the people of the United States.
We try our best to deliver super exciting games. "
《旧金山纪事报》记者接着提问：“从目前各种预测来看，超过95%认为你们勇士会以4比2大分击败国王晋级第二轮，你自己的预期是如何？有没有想过4比0横扫？”
Su Yang chuckled: "Of course I thought about a 4-0 sweep. The specific result will not be known until the end of the match. Please stay tuned."
After finishing the interview, Su Yang left the media center and rushed to the VIP waiting area to welcome all the dignitaries, film and television singers, heads of major companies, and celebrities from all walks of life. He specially invited everyone to the venue, just to kick off the new arena season The first shot of the playoffs,
Let sponsors such as Time Warner, JPMorgan Chase, Eastern Airlines and State Insurance see that even if they move to a new arena, even if they lose their huge foundation in Oakland, and even if the average ticket price increases, Warriors fans still fill the audience, which can bring Huge advertising conversion, please feel free to spend money on the major sponsors, and welcome more new sponsors to come to negotiate, the price is easy to negotiate.
While Su Yang was saying hello one by one, the socialite Hilton took the initiative to come over with her best friend Britney and her little follower Kardashian, "Just now we have experienced the private room decorated by ourselves, it is really great, I suggest you can talk to those wineries cooperate,
Prepare some high-end brands in the arena, and even prepare some chefs to provide catering services at any time. "
As for entertainment venues, there are naturally everything you need.
"Yes, yes."
Su Yang replied casually, thinking that Hilton's idea is really good, but the sales frequency of those gadgets is low, and the follow-up service is quite troublesome. There is no need for permanent residence. It is best to make an e-commerce model. If there is a need, place an order and cooperate City express service.
Let's talk a few more words, it will be six o'clock soon.
The pre-match ceremony began, and the announcer Tim loudly introduced the members of the Warriors team, and Su Yang walked to the midfield to speak.
"Good evening and welcome to the Chase Center, everyone.
In the just-concluded regular season, our Warriors broke the historical record of the Lakers and won 34 consecutive victories. We completed the second 70 wins. We are firmly on the road to hit the four consecutive championships, and what we can do is unparalleled great achievement,
Because of the support of all of you,
You stayed with just 20 wins, encouraged you when you missed the playoffs five years in a row, praised you when you got better, never doubted you when you lost two straight at home, you are the world Best fans ever.
We hope to accompany you all the way,
We will continue to give back to the entire Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, and the entire Bay Area,
Now, let us start a new journey. Although it is full of challenges, I, Su Yang, am here at the Chase Center. At this moment, at 2006:4 on April 22, 18, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the fans present and watching the game through live TV. , the fans who tuned in on the radio, the fans who didn't pay attention in time guarantee that we Golden State Warriors will win the championship in 11,
We're going to make a quadruple! "
The voice fell, the audience cheered, the Hilton trio, the team's board of directors Yahoo Yang and Nvidia Huang, Apple Jobs, Google Larry Page, San Francisco Mayor Gary Newsom, Governor Schwarzenegger, legendary movie star Italia Sterwood, popular actresses Jessica Alba and Anne Hathaway, popular singers Kanye West, Eminem and others all gave a standing ovation.
The 1 fans at the scene and the more than 1 fans watching the game through the big screen in the arena also applauded and shouted for a full minute.
The national anthem was played immediately, Beyoncé dressed up to lead the singing, the whistle sounded and the two teams entered the field first.
The central large screen simultaneously shows the starting players of the two teams. Point guard Billups vs. Bibby, shooting guard Bell vs. Kenyon Martin, small forward Prince vs. Wiltz, power forward Garnett vs. Kenny • Thomas, center Yao Ming versus Brad Miller.
Seeing the king's lineup, Su Yang subconsciously looked towards the king's bench, just in time to see the king's head coach Adelman looking over, and immediately put up his thumbs up to show his praise, thinking that Adelman has been honestly coaching for 20 years career,
At the age of 60, he actually played the same tricks as Popovich. He chose to defend Artest to the bench and start the rookie Martin. Very thorough.
In the past, Adelman would never let Artest play as a substitute, and he didn't know how to persuade Artest to play as a substitute. After all, the best defensive player averaged 20 points per game last season. How can he play as a substitute? That's the starting point for the Lakers.
The main purpose should be to prevent Artest's projection from being targeted, causing Prince to arbitrarily shrink to help defend the King and others,
And Artest will play as a substitute, and he will be familiar with Danny Granger or Stephen Jackson, both of whom are old teammates.
All I can say is, it's very interesting.
The short whistle sounded quickly, and the two teams entered the field and stood still.
The announcer yelled the jump ball, and the referee flicked it at the same time.
Snapped!Dayao and Miller touched the basketball at the same time, and neither of them grabbed it, but it fell on the Kings' side of the court.
Martin picked up the basketball closest to him, bent his back to protect it, raised his hand and passed it to Bibby, and the king launched the first attack of the game.
The defensive shouts of the Warriors fans erupted.
Bibby dribbled the ball sideways and raised his hand to make a tactic. The kings hurriedly settled down and started in the classic bullhorn formation.
Miller catches the ball with his back on the left elbow, steps up and lifts up, and makes an inside screen for Bibby who is rushing towards him, then turns and throws the ball to Kenny Thomas, who is also raised on the right elbow, and then turns around Looking at the left waist from the face basket, step forward and lift your legs.
At the same time, Bibby walked inside the paint and turned to the short corner on the left, setting a screen for Wiltz who started and ran to the right basket.
That kind of running position obviously wants to take advantage of Wiltz's strength advantage against Prince at the basket, and it is only the basic running position of the elbow tactic. It is very confusing and practical. Prince is not very good at single defense. Dayao also cannot shrink and short Miller in advance,
Fortunately, the Warriors also play elbow tactics, and they are quite familiar with that routine. However, Garnett did not shrink and double-team Wiltz. Instead, he stepped up and pressed against Kenny Thomas, who was holding the ball, and did not give him an easy pass. , Buying time for Prince at the basket.
With one pass, Wiltz was interfered with receiving the ball.
Seeing this, Bibby quickly twisted his hips and turned around. With the help of Miller's pass and a wide screen, he got rid of Billups and rushed to the top of the arc. He raised his hand to receive the pass from Thomas, and Thomas turned around immediately after the pass. Move to the right to cover for Martin.
Martin, in the bottom corner on the right, took the opportunity to use a wide cover to get rid of Bell and hit his right elbow. He caught the ball and shot it.
The basketball hit the front basket and bounced back, and cheers resounded through the arena. Su Yang knew that there were still 10 seconds left without looking at the scoreboard. He immediately reminded: "The king may have played more resolutely. Martin's chance just now was not very good. They still choose strong shots, perhaps because of their offensive strategy, or because they know that with Garnett and Dayao sitting inside, it is difficult for them to rush in and attack the basket."
Stevens and other teaching assistants nodded.
The warriors on the court launched a counterattack at the same time, and the champion tactics POST+SPLIT+FLARE were laid out, not seeking a certain score, mainly through continuous running and covering, quickly testing the king's defensive strategy, low and high, inside and outside,
On-ball screens and off-ball screens, all tentative.
The basketball was handed over to Dayao. Bell and Prince made split cross screens at the three-point line, while the King chose man-to-man defense, and also deliberately retracted to prevent potential breakthroughs. This is tantamount to letting the Warriors Side shot threes.
Seeing this, Dayao immediately passed the ball to the right 45-degree three-point line. Bell caught it in his hand and shot it, but the three-pointer hit the iron.
"It's interesting."
Su Yang became very interested. He thought that in the past, the Lakers and Spurs were all aimed at the Warriors' lack of emergency stops. As a result, the Nuggets followed suit in the first round for two consecutive years, but the Kings adopted a different strategy and boldly released three-pointers. For lineup reasons,
Neither Miller nor Thomas could withstand the impact, and the Warriors' substitutes Artest, Garcia, and Rahim also lacked inside defense. The Kings must fully protect Miller and Thomas. After careful consideration, letting go of three-pointers is indeed the best solution. Either win or lose miserably.
"It's really not easy. The change in history made Adelman also learn to be a gambler in the playoffs, playing tricks..."
The king launched a counterattack at the same time,
Bibby dribbled the ball quickly to the left wing of the frontcourt, took advantage of Miller's quick cover, pretended to break through to the right, but actually changed hands behind the back and forced a breakthrough to the left. Both Dayao and Billups were deceived, and it was too late to intercept again. Foul by Billulah.
Beep!The referee blows his whistle, and the king throws the ball from the sideline.
"It seems that they have the experience of learning from the Nets and Spurs. They choose to play with us at a fast pace, make quick decisions, do not give them the opportunity to rotate the defensive system, and make the most of the shortcomings of our players' positional warfare and head-to-head defense..." assistant coach Stevens briefly explained, assistant coach Vogel and others nodded in agreement. The Warriors have had too many opponents in recent years, and they have accumulated a lot of experience.
Although neither the Nets nor the Spurs were able to defeat the Warriors, both teams have verified that fast and resolute offense is a good way to deal with the Warriors, because the Warriors are too disciplined and persistent, and the more they want to open and the better chance, the more there is no.
Su Yang sat down with a smile, thinking that it was getting more and more interesting, and hoped that the king would have a new job to refresh the warriors.
The sideline referee made some arrangements, and the king kicked off.
The box formation started, Wiltz sent from the left wing to Miller, who was raised 45 degrees above, strode into the field and made a wide screen to block Billups, and Bibby took the opportunity to rush up to Miller to take over the pass Hand pass, but Miller turned to the right.
At the same time, Martin in the right corner pretended to use Thomas to cover and lift up. It looked like he was about to repeat the catch-and-shoot tactic at the beginning of the game, but suddenly stopped and ran back. basket.
Bell was deceived and had no time to catch up. Garnett hurriedly shrunk to interfere with the pass, and Kenny Thomas got a wide open.
Miller immediately passed the ball, and Thomas caught the ball and shot it high. Relying on his shooting percentage of more than 46% from [-] feet to the three-point line for three consecutive seasons, he easily flew Garnett, who was rushing back to the defense, and turned to the left hand. Rushing, striding to the basket, holding the ball with one hand, jumping and gliding, like a big roc spreading its wings, aiming at the basket and dunking with one hand, attracting everyone on the King's bench to prepare in advance.
However, Garnett quickly twisted his hips, turned around and chased wildly, and took off in sync with Thomas's rhythm, aiming at the basketball was a big hat.
Snapped!The basketball falls under the force.
Thomas rushed to catch but pulled out the bottom line. The referee whistled and punished the King for an out-of-bounds error, and the ball was transferred to the King.
Cheers resounded throughout the arena. Su Yang raised his legs, thinking that the Kings had achieved their best in this sideline round. Thomas even hit Garnett. However, Thomas was only 201, while Garnett was 211 and had a wingspan of [-]. And bullet speed is also crushed,
In the face of absolute strength differences,
The effect of king's strategy is reduced by at least [-]%.
The on-court game continued. Billups ran across the center line with the ball and continued the post+split+flare championship tactics. Su Yang stood up simultaneously and yelled to remind him to play on the inside. Since the king is trying to protect the inside line, then try to get the king The inside line is smashed.
Dayao quickly got the ball in the right waist,
King Miller did not hesitate to step sideways to block the bottom line space, forcing Yao to turn towards the upper line, and there are other Kings players who can assist in the upper line. The obvious strategy is that even if Yao Ming gets points, he can only hook Score by hand or mid-range,
Resolutely can't hit the basket to cause damage.
Dayao didn't hesitate, he patted the ball to find the rhythm, turned around and took two steps forward, ignoring the encirclement and taking off to hook.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 2 to 0.
Cheers erupted, and Su Yang chuckled with his arms akimbo. There was no way. Brad Miller was only 211 centimeters tall and weighed 110 kilograms. centimeters, and the encirclement did not interfere.
The king immediately counterattacked,
Bibby dribbled the ball to the right wing,
With the help of Miller's cover, Martin rushes up to the right 45-degree three-point line to receive the ball, turns around and passes to Thomas in the left elbow, and then goes straight to the left corner, preparing to screen for Wells, while on the right, Miller also screens for Bibby in the corner.
The king still used the previous tactics, but at a faster pace,
Bibby rushed to the right elbow and raised his hand to catch the pass from Thomas, ignoring Billups to catch up closely, pulling it up was a long shot.
The basketball bounced back and almost hit the iron. The Warriors fans on the scene breathed a sigh of relief, and Dayao grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.
Cheering shouts erupted at the same time, Bilu dribbled the ball to 45 degrees on the right side of the front court, took advantage of the double screen of Garnett and Dayao to break through to the left, rushed to the top of the arc and met Miller's delay in grabbing, and immediately pulled the ball back to the third Outside the line, find Dayao again as a cover.
"Bilou should be trying to take advantage of Miller's upswing..."
Su Yang predicted in advance, and on the court, Bilu really used Dayao's cover to break through to the right. Facing Miller's attack and Dayao taking the opportunity to turn around and cut in, and Bibby crossing the middle of Dayao in advance to interfere with the pass, he did not hesitate. Raise the ball straight into the short right corner.
Garnett just finished the double screen before and stopped at the short corner on the right. When he received the pass, he raised his hands high and used his height advantage to drive the ball from Thomas's head to the basket. Yao, who was rushing to the basket, took the ball and took off , With a bang, he dunked with both hands and scored.
Cheers rang through the arena,
During the live broadcast, Van Gundy, a temporary guest on ESPN, sighed: "I am very happy to see my old friend Adelman use some new strategies, even more abnormal ones, but it is a pity that the Warriors' strategies and hard power all crushed the Kings.
Just now Billups organized this time, double screen + single screen + high and low connection + fast and accurate inside pass, the smoothness is comparable to Dove brand chocolate, completely improvised, tactical quality is too terrifying, losing to the Warriors is serious No shame. "
The host Mike Breen chuckled: "Listen to you, it seems that the Kings have lost this round of the series?"
Little Van Gundy subconsciously wanted to say YES. When he spoke, he saw Brin's prompting eyes. He realized that he was doing a commentary. He needed to remain neutral as much as possible and avoid the ratings drop due to the commentary. After thinking for a while, he said: "Maybe the king can win a game,
They shoot very resolutely, and it may feel good to return to the home court, and it will be difficult for the Warriors to limit them all..."
