Chapter 228 The Difference Between Zhang Yu and Cole (5000 words)
After being beaten 7:0, the Suns players became more careful. Nash controlled the ball at the top of the arc very steadily, and the others ran off the ball. Finally, Richardson ran a chance and received a pass from Nash. Mid-range jumper succeeded.

Gentry, who was standing on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back down again.

Just now he was considering whether to call a timeout, but now it seems that Nash can still stabilize the situation.

But in the next round, Gentry couldn't sit still.

The Warriors still played with Green in the low post, running on the strong side with Curry and Chandler. This time, Robin Lopez was very vigilant in defending early and did not give Curry an open shot.

But when the defensive attention of the Suns players was on Curry, Butler in the left corner first used Tony Allen's cover to cut inside, and when he encountered Turkoglu's defense, he continued to attack. Running sideways, with the help of Green's cover, he came to the bottom corner on the right.

Curry made a back pass at the right time, and passed the ball very smartly. Butler, who was unguarded, even dribbled the ball in his spare time before raising his hand and shooting a three-pointer.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, 10:2, and the Warriors continued to expand their lead.

After the ball was scored, Butler smiled, high-fived Curry, and retreated to the backcourt.

"Di-"

Gentry finally couldn't take it anymore and immediately called a timeout. He was beaten 10:2 in the opening game. The direction of the game was completely different from what he expected, and he had to adjust it.

"The Suns were stopped, and the Warriors started the game very aggressively. Director Zhang, what do you think of the Warriors' opening performance?" Yang Jian asked.

Zhang Weiping pondered for a while, and said:

"How should I put it, the Warriors are clearly prepared. The rookie Green's performance is impressive. I don't know if you have noticed. The Warriors score all through off-ball tactics and defensive counterattacks. Among them, Green's The defense and his support in the low post were key, and directly contributed to those two scores, but Curry didn't play much with the ball, which is rare for the Warriors."

"Do you think this is a new tactic for the Warriors?" Yang Jian said.

"We have to look further down for the details. I think Gentry can see it, otherwise he couldn't have called a timeout after playing for 3 minutes. The Suns were caught off guard by the Warriors." Zhang Weiping laughed.

The domestic commentary position has always been very clear, that is, to support the Rockets and the Warriors. Last season, Yao Ming missed the entire season due to injury, so the Rockets are now not as "favored" as the Warriors.

Gentry called a short timeout, the two just chatted a few words, the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the field, and the game continued.

Yang Jian said in surprise:
"The Warriors made a substitution! On the 12th, Klay Thompson replaced Tony Allen, and Matthews replaced Butler. They are in a good situation, why did they take the initiative to replace them?"

When Gentry saw the adjustment of the Warriors, he also looked at Zhang Yu in surprise. Zhang Yu felt his gaze and smiled back.

He turned to Silas and said:
"The weakness of the Suns' defense has undoubtedly been revealed. We will see Klein Stephen's performance later."

"Will this be too cruel..." Silas looked at Turkoglu on the field with some embarrassment.

On the court, the Suns sent out the baseline ball. Nash and Robin Lopez picked and rolled. After Robin Lopez went down, Nash did not pass the ball.

10: 4.

Looking back, the Warriors quickly rushed to the frontcourt. If the Suns hadn't consciously accelerated the speed of retreating, they might have been hit by the Warriors for a half-fast break.

"Hey, look at the speed of the Warriors. They are faster than last season. Young people can run." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

On the field, Curry saw that there was no chance for a fast break, so he slowed down, controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and waved, Green came over to make a screen, Curry walked to the side of the screen, and then Green immediately went down, taking advantage of the situation. The hidden area of ​​the hand blocked Richardson's footsteps, making him unable to continue chasing Curry, and could only be forced to switch defenses, allowing Curry to face Turkoglu.

Facing Curry, the point forward who was once famous in the league for his versatility opened his hands with a dignified expression, not daring to be careless.

Throughout Turkoglu's career, defense has always been his weak link. Facing a super shooter like Curry, he involuntarily took two steps forward to prevent Curry from suddenly shooting a three-pointer.

After witnessing Curry's shooting performance for a season, the entire league now knows how terrifying his three-pointer with the ball is. At this point, the Lakers have the most say. That three-pointer he made.

When Curry saw Turkoglu approaching him, he raised his hands and made a gesture to make a shot, which caused Turkoglu to shift his center of gravity forward. Then he received the ball and slapped it hard on the ground. After rushing over, the Turk couldn't keep up with Curry's passing speed at all. He was thrown half a body away by Curry in the first step, and was completely left behind in the second step.

Robin Lopez at the basket immediately rushed towards Curry, but Curry didn't signal to break through. He stopped at the free throw line and made a mid-range shot before Robin Lopez was in place.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, 12:4.

Round conversion, Turkoglu holds the ball on the left side of the three-point line. This is the fanciful vision of the fans after the Suns completed the deal in the summer-he and Nash both have the ability to initiate pick-and-rolls, which can make the Suns' tactics more unpredictable. Measure changeable.

But after Turkoglu and Robin Lopez picked and rolled, Chandler switched directly in front of him. Green cleverly went around in front of Robin Lopez and blocked Turkoglu's passing route. Staring at his opponent, stuck between Turkoglu and the Suns, he did not give him a chance to pass the ball.

Turkoglu tried several times, but couldn't pass the ball. Gentry waved his hand, and the Suns opened up space for him. Everyone's eyes were on Turkoglu, waiting for his operation.

In desperation, the Turk had no choice but to open his posture and play singles against Chandler in a misplaced position, but he has never been known for his singles ability. Chandler's mobility is top-notch at the center position. Shaking out any space, in the end, he could barely shoot a fadeaway jumper on the verge of being blocked.

Bang!

Turkoglu's strike seemed to be a signal. The Warriors all rushed to the frontcourt. Curry slapped the ball heavily on the ground and advanced quickly. The Suns retreated as if frightened. Ordered to focus on protecting the basket and not giving the Warriors a chance to easily attack the frame.

But Clay and Matthews, who came in from the two wings, did not enter the three-point line, but stopped on both sides. Hill followed Matthews, Nash hesitated, and stood at the free throw line, thinking To stop Green who cuts to the basket.

At this moment, Curry, who had just dribbled the ball halfway across the court, slammed the ball directly towards Clay. Green had been paying attention to the movement of the ball, and when he saw this, he suddenly accelerated and went straight to the basket, attracting Nash's attention. Clay was surrounded by no one to defend him, he shot the ball without hesitation, and his movements were as standard as a textbook.

brush!
Nash, who reacted, had no time to defend, so he could only watch the basketball bounce into the hoop.

At 15:4, the Warriors continued to expand their lead.

Yang Jian laughed and said:

"Warriors' No. 13 Klay Thompson is the 13th overall pick in this year's first round. He is a pitcher. The Suns' backhand is not cautious enough to give him so much space."

He has done enough homework before the game and knows the past of every Warriors player well, because he knows that in the next season, he may have to explain dozens of Warriors games, and making preparations in advance can be done once and for all.

Gentry, who had just sat down for a while, stood up again. He would never want to sit down in this game.

He shouted to the field:
"Pay attention to defense, don't miss people!"

The Suns players have heard his reminder, but these pale words are of no use, and they also know not to miss anyone, but the Warriors' defensive counterattack is extremely fast, and they often start when they just grab a rebound, and they are extremely rich. The sense of layering, the shooters on the two wings opened up the space, and the one in the middle went straight to the basket. The Suns players were caught off guard and could only follow up nearby. There was no time to find their opponents.

Fortunately, Gentry then reminded them:
"Don't grab offensive rebounds, and return to defense immediately if you miss a shot!"

Only then did the Suns settle down. In the next round, Richardson missed a three-pointer with a fixed-point catch. Chandler protected the rebound and passed it to Curry. The Warriors wanted to counterattack, but the Suns responded immediately. Defense, did not give the Warriors another chance.

Gentry breathed a sigh of relief. If he was hit back again, he really didn't know whether he should call a timeout to slow down. The point difference was 20 points.

On the field, the Warriors fell into a positional battle. Curry looked back at the sidelines. Zhang Yu patted the top of his head with his right hand and raised his index finger at him.

Curry understood, waved to Green, and the two made a pick-and-roll cooperation, and replaced Turkoglu in front of Curry again.

Turkoglu didn't want to switch defenses in his heart, but Green's screen was very solid, and he dismantled after the pick. According to Gentry's defensive arrangement before the game, Richardson could only follow Green. Leave Curry to Turkoglu.

Turkoglu learned the lesson of defending Curry last time. He didn't stick too close to prevent Curry from stepping over him, but Curry didn't mean to break through at all. Lu's center of gravity swayed, and then he pulled it up and shot!

Turkoglu hurriedly stretched out his hand to interfere, but under Curry's lightning speed, his movements were as slow as slow motion, and he did not interfere with Curry's shooting at all. He could only watch the basketball draw a high arc , spinning rapidly and falling into the net.

18: 4.

Curry raised his right hand high, watched the basketball enter the frame, patted his chest, and pointed to the sky with one hand, causing enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

"Chef! Chef!" This is the nickname given to Curry by American fans. "Curry" means curry, and his three-pointers are like feasts, so he got this nickname.

Yang Jian sighed:
"Turkoglu can't guard Curry at all. Curry first jumped him and then made a three-pointer in his face. This is to catch Turkoglu and hit him."

"It seems that Curry's desire to attack is very strong. In the first quarter, he played big in a row. Although Turkoglu is not considered a 'big', he is slow and cannot keep up with Curry. This is also a misalignment." Zhang Weiping Said.

The Suns attacked, Nash launched a pick-and-roll, and the Warriors' defense had a little flaw. Nash passed to Turkoglu, who was emptied by Green, and the latter made an open three-pointer.

18: 7.

But looking back, Curry once again found Turkoglu through the pick-and-roll, passed the Turk in one step, and made a successful throw near the free throw line.

20: 7.

"Di-"

In desperation, Gentry called a timeout again. Although the first quarter only played for 6 minutes, Curry pressed Turkoglu to the ground repeatedly. It was spent.

When the Warriors players left the court, Zhang Yu gave them high fives one by one, and he smiled at Curry:
"Good job, Stephen, if Turkoglu doesn't play later, you continue to target him!"

What Zhang Weiping didn't know was that it wasn't that Curry himself had a high desire to attack, but that Zhang Yu specially arranged a dislocation singles tactic for him.

Unlike Cole, Zhang Yu insists on the smooth cooperation of the pass and cut system, but also values ​​Curry's strong personal ability.

He will not let Curry run a lot without the ball like Kerr, to be a bait to attract the opponent's defense, and to create a huge offensive space for others.

Team offense is indeed important, but Zhang Yu firmly believes that the strong personal ability of a star is the foundation of a strong team.

Of course, Curry is not that powerful at this time. He is not double-teamed after halftime, and the Warriors are equivalent to three more shooters as soon as they run. But even if Curry grows to his peak, Zhang Yu It will still let him focus on offense with the ball, supplemented by off-ball offense.

He doesn't believe that a star who runs a lot without the ball in the regular game can switch to the ball-holding mode to take over the game as soon as the playoffs come. This is unrealistic.

He wants to keep Curry in attack mode. Curry with the ball is the most powerful Curry.

Zhang Yu will let Curry run without the ball to drive the Warriors' overall offense, but he will not put the cart before the horse and let Curry run without the ball.

After the timeout ended, Hill singled out Matthews successfully and made a jumper with an emergency stop. Matthews' defense was still much worse than Butler's.

20: 9.

When the Warriors attacked, Gentry stepped up his defense against Curry, resolutely not allowing Turkoglu to defend Curry alone, and not changing defenses during pick-and-rolls, but allowing Turkoglu to return after a long delay.

But in this way, Green, who was dismantled and slid down, was free. Curry passed the ball to Green immediately, and Green dribbled down. Robin Lopez could only come up to help defend.

At this time, Green showed that he was different from the traditional inside line. He did not attack the frame by himself, nor did he stop to find his teammates, but skillfully threw the basketball into the sky. Chandler Gao, who was ambushing behind Robin Lopez, Jump high, receive a pass from Green in the most comfortable place, and smash the ball into the basket with both hands!
22: 9.

Yang Jian exclaimed:
"What kind of operation is Green doing?! He first acted as a pick-and-roll man without the ball, set a screen for Curry, then received a pass from Curry, passed the ball down, and passed an alley to Chandler. This one Round, he was both a power forward and a point guard!"

Zhang Weiping smiled and said:
"Green is an eye-opener, but he is less than two meters tall, and he is really the height of a guard. The pass is also very subtle, as if it was passed by a point guard, but from his defense and cover just now. Look, he's a solid big man again, and I've never seen a player like that."

Yang Jian glanced at the information and added:
"Green got two triple-doubles when he was in college, and he is very versatile. It seems that after entering the NBA, he has continued his all-around attributes. The Warriors have picked up a treasure."

……

In the subsequent games, the Suns were unable to cope with the Warriors' changeable tactics.

Gentry was forced to replace Turkoglu after two consecutive assists from Green, but the Warriors had already built a huge first-quarter lead, scoring 37 points in a single quarter to seal a 37-20 victory. The point difference enters the second quarter.

But on the defensive end, the Warriors have made a lot of omissions, and now they can’t be called defensive strengths. Matthews’ defense is not as good as Butler’s. The Suns gradually regained their sense of offense. , Driving the overall offense of the team.

In the second quarter, Jeremy Lin led the bench lineup. Zhang Yu left Matthews on the field and replaced the rest. The defense of this lineup was even worse than before. Rajic played well, scoring 8 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, helping the Suns recover a lot of points.

And Jeremy Lin's performance is far worse than in the training game. It seems that he has difficulty adapting to the confrontation intensity of the NBA for a while. A lot of good opportunities were wasted.

At the end of the first half, the score was 60:47, the Suns were only 13 points behind, and the suspense of the game returned.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Gentry loudly encouraged the players:

"Everyone did a good job in the first half. We are gradually recovering the point difference. In the second half, we cheered up and continued to work hard. The Warriors' inexperienced young players couldn't withstand the pressure. We will go all out to overtake the score and win the game. !"

In the locker room of the home team, Zhang Yu did not criticize the Warriors' defensive mistakes in the first half, but also encouraged them:

"Before this game, I said, this is a battle of revenge! The first half is over, we hold a 13-point lead, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts, Drummond, you did a good job Very good, I need you to keep working hard in the second half, let those who look down on you understand how stupid they are, wait a minute, we play like this..."

After he finished speaking, the Warriors players all looked at Green with strange expressions in their eyes.

Zhang Yu said slowly:

"This lineup, we have practiced many times, any questions, Drummond?"

Green stared, took a deep breath, and said:
"No problem, coach!"

"Very good, Drummond, you are the core of this lineup. As long as you play the expected effect, we can use this quarter to completely defeat the opponent!"

Soon, the 15-minute intermission passed, the two teams returned to the field, and the game continued.

Yang Jian glanced at the Suns' lineup, yes, it's the starting five in the first quarter.

Then, he looked at the Warriors' half court again, but his eyes gradually widened, and he said in surprise:
"Warriors...the Warriors actually put up such a lineup?!"
