Chapter 200 Dual Axis Tactics
Since Andrew Bogut himself was accidentally injured, the Warriors' starting lineup became point guard, Stephen Curry, shooting guard, Klay Thompson, small forward Harrison Barnes, power forward Draymond Green , center Festus Ezeli.
As for the Bucks, their starting lineup is surprising.
Point guard Antetokounmpo, shooting guard Khris Middleton, small forward Steve Novak, power forward Wei Zhiming, center Patrick Patterson.
This is an astonishing lineup. On their court, the lowest is Khris Middleton, who is 201cm tall.
The Bucks' center, Patrick Patterson, is only 206 cm, not as tall as small forward Steve Novak.
Not to mention the comparison with Wei Zhiming and Antetokounmpo, both of whom are 211cm tall.
The Warriors' acting coach, Luke Walton, was very surprised and didn't know the strength of Jason Kidd's lineup.
This game was also broadcast live across the United States, and both TNT and ESPN chose to broadcast it. Similarly, the domestic Tencent webcast and CCTV5 can be watched on both platforms.
The reason why this game has received so much attention is that apart from the Bucks ending the Warriors' winning streak, there is also the grudge between Wei Zhiming and Drummond Green.
Wei Zhiming was suspended for two games for beating Drummond Green. I don't know how Drummond Green will perform against the comeback Wei Zhiming this time.
In the same way, the sudden change of the Bucks made many experts think that the Bucks are trying to kill them. They don't even have an orthodox point guard. Although Steve Novak has an excellent three-point ability, he needs a space. Against defense, his three-pointers aren't that great.
More importantly, Steve Novak's defense is very bad. Although he has been improving, but defending an ordinary 4th position is basically equivalent to no defense.
In this change, Jason Kidd can be said to be very bold. In other words, Jason Kidd no longer considers the outcome of this game. They want to test a new lineup and new tactics.
Jason Kidd is also very courageous in using a strong team to hone his players.
If the Bucks are massacred by the Warriors in this game, it will deal a great blow to young players.
The Warriors' Festus Ezeli and the Bucks' Wei Zhiming jumped the ball. Wei Zhiming won easily, and then he immediately ran forward.
It was also Jason Kidd's idea to let Wei Zhiming jump the ball. Wei Zhiming has excellent physical fitness and his wingspan is very good. It can be said that there are not many players who can beat him by jumping the ball.
After landing, Wei Zhiming ran forward, and likewise, other players of the Bucks also quickly ran forward.
After Antetokounmpo picked up Wei Zhiming's ball, he threw the ball directly to Wei Zhiming. Wei Zhiming caught the basketball with his height advantage, and then he quickly ran to the right corner.
Meanwhile, Patrick Patterson cuts in, Khris Middleton stays at the top of the arc, and Steve Novak comes to the 45-degree angle on the left wing.
Wei Zhiming's speed is extremely fast, and his three-pointer is very threatening. Curry and Draymond Green immediately rushed to Wei Zhiming. Seeing this, Wei Zhiming made a long pass across the field and sent the ball Pass to Steve Novak, Steve Novak wide open at the moment, he took off easily, a perfect posture, the ball hollow into the net.
The Bucks came up to slap the Warriors, and the Bucks' offense was within 7 seconds. Before the Warriors' players had time to settle down, the Bucks' three-pointer had already hit hard.
Everyone in the Warriors looked ugly, especially Harrison Barnes, who was defending Steve Novak, and he went to cover Patrick Patterson who cut inside.
Wei Zhiming immediately gave Steve Novak a high-five. Jason Kidd's eyes were slightly fascinated when he saw this. This was the tactic he wanted.
With Wei Zhiming and Antetokounmpo as the tactical center, the Bucks' dual-axis, using Wei Zhiming and Antetokounmpo's ability to pass the ball through vision, connects the entire team.
Then let Steve Novak and Khris Middleton be the basketball finishers, both of whom have excellent long-range shooting ability.Of course, the Bucks currently have five three-point shooting capabilities, and even Antetokounmpo's three-point shooting percentage is the lowest.
However, this tactic currently depends entirely on the Bucks' opponents themselves, and the Bucks' ability to cooperate successfully a few times is already remarkable.
"If you fully master this tactic, it will take at least two months, or even longer." Jason Kidd thought to himself.
Facing the Warriors' offense, the Bucks chose to actively switch defenses. Drummond Green, who was defending Wei Zhiming, saw Wei Zhiming this time, and it was rare that he didn't talk trash or make too many small moves. Wei Zhiming thought This guy got it right.
The Warriors still relied on Golden State Mobile's 4G tactics, and Curry got a shot. His iconic shot was shot, and with a duang sound, it hit the iron.
Wei Zhiming protected the rebound, then he passed the ball to Antetokounmpo, and quickly ran forward.
Wei Zhiming's dribbling is not as good as Antetokounmpo's. Of course, Antetokounmpo's dribbling is not very good. Fortunately, Antetokounmpo is smarter. He hit Curry with his back and slowly pushed forward.
In this way, the two sides can only play positional warfare, and then Steve Novak and Khris Middleton began to run wildly, while Wei Zhiming and Patrick Patterson picked and rolled for the two.
However, due to the poor tactical cooperation of the Bucks players, Steve Novak and Khris Middleton were extremely inefficient in running open spaces. Seeing this, Antetokounmpo could only hit Curry back.
Curry can't handle Antetokounmpo, his small body is a defensive loophole, but his three-pointers are so abnormal that people ignore his defensive loophole.
Antetokounmpo succeeded in hitting Curry with his back, and the Bucks once again reached a 5-0 climax.
But Jason Kidd was not satisfied with this ball. The Bucks' double-axis tactics did not play out. It seemed that they didn't know what to do.
"It seems that their free play is not very good." Jason Kidd shook his head, and then continued to watch the game.
Klay Thompson of the Warriors here faced Wei Zhiming's supplementary defense and hit a three-pointer. Immediately, the atmosphere of the Warriors' home court immediately became lively. Wei Zhiming glanced at Klay Thompson who had no expression after scoring the goal. Consider, when Klay Thompson's contract expires, whether to ask the Bucks' management to raise him.
"The easiest way to defeat the Warriors is to dismantle them." Wei Zhiming thought in his heart, but he was not afraid of the Warriors. The Bucks' lineup specially selected the Warriors. A group of big, tall men and gibbons made the Warriors very uncomfortable.
"If it works well, the Bucks will not love any team." Wei Zhiming thought in his heart, and then he received a pass from Antetokounmpo, and directly threw the ball into the hands of Trick Patterson with a long throw.
Trick Patterson was a little surprised, but he thought of the words of coach Jason Kidd, took off without hesitation, and shot a three-pointer.
Trick Patterson was ambushing in the bottom corner this time. He thought that the other Bucks players would not notice him, but he did not expect Wei Zhiming to receive the pass from Antetokounmpo and throw it to him without stopping. For himself, this gave Trick Patterson a new understanding of Wei Zhiming's vision.
But he didn't feel good about this shot, and Wei Zhiming and Antetokounmpo rushed to the inside immediately after seeing him shoot.At the same time, Steve Novak and Khris Middleton fell back and chose to return to the defense.
No one could have imagined that the two big and tall Bucks who pulled out the outside line would rush into the inside line to grab a rebound at the same time. The Warriors players did not react. Successful dunk.
7-3, the fans watching the live broadcast were in an uproar. At the Warriors' home court, the Warriors were actually kicked off by the Bucks 7-3.
This is something that no one has thought of. For a while, many people have doubts about the strength of the Bucks. Maybe the Bucks are really strong.
But then the Warriors' performance reassured the Warriors fans. Antetokounmpo's pass was intercepted by Curry, and Curry succeeded in a one-stop layup. Then Wei Zhiming's long pass was also intercepted, and Harrison Barnes dunked successfully.
After two consecutive mistakes, the Warriors directly tied the score. Jason Kidd began to frown. He was afraid that the Bucks would make too many mistakes because they just started to cooperate.
Drip!
The Bucks called a timeout. After he emphasized the defense, he didn't say much. Jason Kidd first let the Bucks players feel it for themselves, and then explained and strengthened their tactical awareness.
Although the Bucks' tactics are not effective from time to time, but with their active defense and active rebounding, they will not fall behind by that time, especially Wei Zhiming, who is too strong inside. Drummond -Green faced him and could only be blown away.
This made Drummond Green very upset. He wanted to use dirty tricks, but he thought of Wei Zhiming's violent temper, so he held back.
28-22. The Warriors lead the Bucks by six points. This is a surprising result. They all speculate that the Warriors may beat the Bucks in the first quarter.
At this moment, there are more than three minutes before the end of the game, Jason Kidd suddenly replaced the main player and replaced it with a substitute.
Point guard Michael Carter-Williams, shooting guard Jerry Bayless, small forward Jabari Parker, power forward Larry Sanders, center Miles Plumlee.
This is a very strong set of substitutes, as long as they run in enough, they are not even weaker than the weaker team's starting lineup.
And in the same way, the Warriors also sent their real thigh, Andre - Iguodala!
Jason Kidd did not reprimand the main players. In fact, the main players have performed very well. Jason Kidd believes that the main players of the Bucks may lose at least 10 points to the Warriors.
Even if the Warriors play a wave, the Bucks may be even worse.
PS: Don’t complain about my late update today, the reason is that I went on a blind date after get off work in the afternoon. I had dinner and planned to watch a movie, but thinking that there is still one chapter missing today, I decisively refused
