One Guard
Chapter 692: Undefined Superstar
Green received an iron knee from Yiyang and was beaten into three points by Yiyang. Then he wanted to return one from outside the three-point line, but he missed the shot.
So far, Green has not taken advantage of Yiyang, and his abdomen is still aching. Unexpectedly, Yiyang, in addition to his powerful abilities, also has a lot of tricks.
Green's non-touch gave the Mavericks an offensive ball, and Yiyang was not polite, assisting Gobert for an alley-oop dunk. One go and another, and the Mavericks once again took the lead.
Cole curled his lips. That guy Green was just too emotional and often followed his temper. However, he also believes that Green will adjust quickly. Although this guy is violent, he is not brainless.
The Warriors now urgently need to solve the problem on the offensive end. Curry has been choked to death by Yiyang. So far, he has not even used half of his usual skills. Active pick-and-roll, Warriors players need to use active pick-and-roll to create opportunities for Curry.
As a result, Ezeli and Green both set up screens for Curry, and they were still on the same side.
Double coverage on the same side, which is almost insurmountable for defenders. If you want to defend, you must rely on switching defenses.
But it was easy for Curry to break through Gobert who came up on defense. He bypassed the second pick-and-roll and started directly, without even giving Gobert a chance to move laterally to block.
But after breaking through Gobert, Curry is not safe. After all, Gobert is a shot-blocking master. However, what Curry is least afraid of are big shot-blockers, because the arc of Yiyang's high-beating board is so high that even a big center cannot touch the basketball.
The basketball bounced off the backboard and into the net. This was Curry's smoothest offense so far in the game.
Although he couldn't get a chance from beyond the three-point line, Curry seemed to have found another way to help the team score.
The Warriors tied the score again and were very tenacious. It seems that the Mavericks have the advantage, but the score has always been very anxious.
The successful attack just now seemed to have opened the door to a new world for Curry. In subsequent games, Curry simply increased the number of times he broke through the penalty area. Of course, he couldn't break through Yiyang in a one-on-one situation, but he was able to get rid of Yiyang's defense with the help of his teammates' skillful cover.
Curry is very fast. If Yiyang cannot grab the point immediately and quickly pursue the defense when facing the pick-and-roll, he will have no chance to make up for it.
It's hard to imagine that Curry was plagued by a serious ankle injury three years ago, so much so that it was unclear whether Curry could gain a foothold in this league.
Curry's frequent breakthroughs began to attract the Mavericks' defense to shrink, which naturally gave other Warriors opportunities.
The Warriors' use of three-pointers goes far beyond just top players shooting accurately. On the court at this time, they include at least four three-point shooters and all five players who can create offense after dribbling. When everyone outside the paint is an offensive threat, the Mavericks' defense has to get thinner to cover a larger area.
And this just makes it easier for Curry to achieve a breakthrough.
The perfect combination of stars and tactics is nothing more than that.
Yiyang found it very difficult. This was the first time he encountered a difficult matchup this season. Even against Derrick Rose a few days ago, Yiyang didn't feel this way.
After half the game, Curry and Thompson had scored 17 points each. In the first half of the game, Curry made only 2 of 8 three-pointers, which Yiyang limited very well.
But the trouble he caused by breaking into the penalty area many times has surpassed the threat of the three-pointer itself. Curry's dazzling three-point shooting percentage makes people always have the illusion that "Curry can only shoot three-pointers." In fact, he is a very versatile scorer.
Fortunately, Yiyang's performance of 16 points in the half was not bad either. What's more, he also sent out 6 assists, allowing Dirk to score 12 points.
58 to 57, the Warriors overtook the Mavericks by one point. Curry bottomed out in the second quarter and attracted all of Yiyang's attention.
Maybe Green is the most annoying player on the Warriors, but there is no doubt that Curry is the most threatening arrow.
"This was really a wonderful half. Stephen Curry adjusted his playing style in time when the game hit a wall in the first quarter and began to attack the Mavericks inside more, which achieved very good results."
"Stephen is a smart player, perhaps one of the smartest players in the league. He knows how to deal with Yi, and he also knows how to use the strength of his teammates. As long as he can get rid of Yi, Stephen can be said to be lawless."
Kevin Harlan made a good analysis. As long as he gets rid of Yiyang, nothing else on the Mavericks can guard Curry.
After Curry attracts the defense, other Warriors players can make shots no matter who receives the ball.
There were several attacks in the first half, with Tony Allen covering up Curry. As a result, Curry assisted Clay and scored easily.
From the stars to the Warriors as a whole, they are integrated offensively. They will not rely too much on their stars, so they will not be helpless after their stars are guarded. But their stars have the ability to change the game and can rely on their personal abilities to solve problems when tactics fail.
The reason why the Warriors and Mavericks are so difficult to defeat is actually for this reason.
"It seems that they are indeed a formidable opponent. In the second half of the game, we must maintain the shooting percentage on the offensive end, play more patiently, rush to the basket more, and take advantage of our height advantage. I said that the Warriors are a pulling team. A team that opens the score very quickly. Once they get a chance, we are likely to be engulfed by a wave of offensive climax. Therefore, the offensive end must keep up, high shooting rate, high shooting rate!"
Carlisle now knows that even his luxurious defensive lineup will have difficulty containing the Warriors' offense. Curry is a player who is almost impossible to contain. There is no defense in this league that can completely stop Curry because this league has never seen a player like Curry.
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are the greatest dribble scorers in league history, while Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan are the greatest post players. What about Curry? How should you define him? A skinny guard who finishes games off the dribble? His type of defender had never had much success before.
In the third quarter of the game, Green was still provoking Yiyang intentionally or unintentionally, but Yiyang no longer wanted to deal with the clown. In his opinion, Green is already a defeated opponent.
Now, Yiyang is fully focused on the fight with Curry. The Warriors' new system makes Curry like a fish in water. And Curry's own progress has made him a completely different person than he was half a year ago.
The battle between Curry and Yiyang was inextricable and extremely enjoyable.
Curry had just hit a mid-range shot from the pick-and-roll, and Yiyang responded with a baseline pull-up layup.
Curry broke through the penalty area and scored to assist Thompson to hit a three-pointer. Yiyang used a behind-the-back pass to help the "German Cannon" successfully fire.
The attack between the two was dazzling. Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan's mouths never stopped since the start of the game.
Both teams found a balance between stars and teamwork, and their offense was difficult for either team to contain.
To beat the Spurs, you only need to press GDP to death and you will win half the game. Playing with the Heat last season, as long as you keep an eye on James, you will be the championship.
But for the Warriors and Mavericks, it's useless just to limit Yiyang and Curry's scoring. What's more, it's not easy to limit the two of them from scoring.
After three quarters, the Mavericks once again exceeded the score. 82 to 80, the gap is still very small.
At this time, Curry had scored 25 points, and Yiyang had scored 24 points. This is the first team to put so much pressure on the Mavericks so far this season.
When Yiyang came off the stage, he was already out of breath. One thing about the Warriors' offense is that their players rarely stop running. Even without the ball, everyone is running as diligently as a worker bee.
As the team's leading scorer, Curry also has no privileges and runs with everyone. When Curry runs away, Yiyang must follow.
The Mavericks think the Warriors are in trouble, and the Warriors also believe that the Mavericks are worthy of being number one in the league. Even with Curry and Thompson already playing so well, they were still able to take the lead.
Cole must solve the problem. There is only one quarter left in the game, and he cannot let the Warriors continue to waste time with the Mavericks.
The day before yesterday, the scene of the Bucks being defeated by Yiyang's fadeaway jumper is still lingering in Cole's mind. With Yiyang's big heart, delaying the game until the last moment will do no good to the Warriors.
He glanced at the bench, and his eyes fell on a guy with a round head, full of tattoos, who didn't seem to be a troublemaker.
There would definitely be risks if he were to be put on the field. But there is no doubt that he has enough strength to take the Warriors' offense to its peak.
Kerr looked at the Mavericks bench and then at his players. To deal with unusual teams, you have to use unusual methods.
"Spitz!" Cole yelled. "In the fourth quarter, you start the game and play the five position. Listen, all five of us can shoot now, and I want you to try to find three-point shots on the offensive end. Stop fighting them. , we are going to open up the score and close the game! Let the Mavericks’ incredible winning streak end here!”
Since the defense can't stop it, let's just have a sweaty offense!
In the last quarter of the game, it was time to take the killer blow.
