"Sam, we should double-team for Stephen, but we should double-team more thoroughly." Billups said.
"What do you mean?" Kassel looked at Billups in confusion.
"80% of the Warriors' firepower output is in the backcourt double guns. We can choose to let one person go and let DeAndrew guard the basket, so we have a chance to try." Billups said.
"Let a person? Let Andrew (referring to Bogut)?" Kassel said and shook his head.
"No, Andrew is a traditional inside player. He wanders around the three-second zone when attacking. It is easy to get a relaxed scoring opportunity for him to get a big blow to the team's morale." Billups denied what Cassel said, and immediately continued, "Draymond, he is the support point for the Warriors. Most offensive rounds he will stand at the top of the arc and hold the ball. Although he also has a three-point shooting range, his shooting percentage is much lower than others."
"Let Draymond?" Kassel did not immediately make a statement after hearing this. Although Green is in the fourth position, his three-point shooting percentage has reached more than 30%, which is a big threat point, and he is also very good at breaking through. If Green breaks out, it will be equally fatal to the team. And if he lets it go like this, the pressure on Jordan Jr. will double. Once Jordan Jr. falls into a foul crisis, the team will collapse directly in advance.
"The risk is very high, but I think it's worth taking a risk." Cassel was very clear about Billups, which was why he was worried in the first half but never spoke. This method is an unconventional method and it is not applicable until the desperate situation.
At this moment, Livingston successfully beat Booker on the back at the low post, turning around and taking action, even arousing amazement from the fans.
"We have no choice." Kassel said at last and nodded.
After saying that, Kassel walked to Tang Shuai and pointed at him, allowing him to come on as a substitute.
Billups' advice is certainly OK, but before that, he has to let the team hold on to the score, otherwise everything will become meaningless.
At this time, the score on the court had become 90 to 75. As soon as the substitute went up, the score difference was further widened to 15 points.
From leading 14 points at the opening to falling 15 points behind, the Clippers lost nearly 30 points in more than two quarters, which shows the strength of the Warriors.
Tang Shuai had only left the court for less than two minutes to rest. However, seeing Cassel asking him to play again, he took off his training uniform without saying a word.
He came on the court to replace Booker, who was bullied enough against Livingston.
"Tang, it's hard to defend against his back." Booker couldn't help but say to Tang Shuai when the end of the game.
"I know." Tang Shuai nodded, and then walked onto the court. Booker said that he could see better than anyone else on the court.
The person Tang Shuai replaced was Booker, which means that he played on the field as the shooting guard, and the opponent was the Warriors' former player Brandon Rush, who was a 3D player.
Although Rush is a 3D player, his defensive ability is not particularly outstanding. Tang Shuai is still very confident in playing against him. As soon as he got up, he directly held the ball and broke through one head-on.
Rush had never played against Tang Shuai before, and he couldn't keep up with his speed, so he easily broke into the basket with a cross step and scored two points.
The Clippers scored points, and the Warriors were not willing to fall behind, so they responded immediately, and they still pulled Livingston to play singles at the low post.
Ismail Smith is a dexterous defender. He seems to have no choice but to face Livingston, who is stronger than himself in height and strength.
Livingston still had an extremely standard back shot, and used the time difference to hit a mid-range shot again.
Shuai Tang was not willing to fall behind. When the Clippers attacked in the next round, he pressed Rush to almost use the same offensive method. He turned around and leaned back to continue the score for the team.
The Warriors' substitute is much weaker in defense, which also determines the tone of the game during this period. The offensive battles that go back and forth are more enjoyable than before.
Three minutes after the fourth quarter, the Clippers, led by Tang Shuai, bit the score and were not further widened, and even caught up with a little score.
At this time, Kassel replaced all the rest in advance, and the score on the field was 90 to 103. The Clippers were still 13 points behind.
Kerr immediately made personnel adjustments and replaced them all. Although the team is still 13 points ahead, the Clippers' previous performance made him dare not take it lightly.
Warriors' offense.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. As soon as he arrived, Paul's close-fitting defense got entangled. He drove it twice but didn't find a chance, so he then gave the ball to Green at the top of the arc.
This is the most common style of play for the Warriors. Green held the ball at the top of the arc, and Curry started running back around the baseline. At the same time, Thompson also moved to the other side with the help of Curry's running.
According to Kassel's new tactical arrangement, the Clippers obviously adjusted their defense. After many pick-and-rolls, Tang Shuai and Paul directly chased Curry and ran outside the three-point line. The two of them were close to him, just not giving him a chance to catch the ball.
At the same time, Brewer, who had the strongest defensive ability, followed Thompson tightly, the remaining Jeff Green and Barnes, and Jordan Jr., guarded Bogutt, leaving Draymond Green with a confused look on the top of the arc.
He actually let go of this.
The fans on the scene were stunned when they saw this scene. What was going on? What happened? Why did Green no one guarded him in a blink of an eye?
"Shot! Shoot!" Cole saw this scene and shouted directly at Green.
Green has a three-point shooting range. Without anyone to defend, not shooting is simply a waste of opportunity.
Hearing Cole's shout, Green came to his senses and then he was sure that the Clippers were going to emptie him. Without saying a word, he directly shot three-pointers.
This state of no defense is no different from what you look like when you practice normally.
"Swish!"
Three-pointer hit.
After hitting, Green shook his head very pretentiously, then spread his hands and shrugged.
"Keep focused!" Kassel shouted loudly at the players. Since he had decided on his defensive strategy, he would not change because Green made a three-pointer.
The Clippers team members kept rushing forward. Kassel took them to the present, and they naturally had 100% trust.
In the Clippers' offense, Paul broke through and passed the ball to Jeff Green, who took a step-by-step jump shot to add points to the Clippers.
106 to 92. With less than 9 minutes left in the game, the Warriors still maintained a 14-point lead.
Kassel now held his chin with his hands and looked at the field with his eyes focused. If Billups' defensive strategy does not work continuously, he can only slap in the face and adjust his defense method.
Green saw that no one was defending him. He raised his hand and threw it away.
The posture is almost the same as before, but maybe he was a little anxious when he shot, and the strength of the ball was obviously a bit too high.
"Bang!"
The ball was very powerful and hit the basket and bounced high.
Jordan and Bogut were fighting for a while at the basket. In the end, Jordan used his excellent bounce to grab the rebound first. Bogut wanted to get the ball and was fouled by the sharp-eyed referee.
Seeing Green failing to make a three-pointer, Cassel breathed a sigh of relief. In such a defensive round, the Warriors not only did not score, but also took a short time for Green to shoot. As long as he could guarantee a backcourt rebound, it was definitely a strange move.
After defending the defensive end, the players' self-confidence naturally followed. The offensive end was more decisive than before. Jordan Jr. made a pick-and-roll for Paul, then took it apart and ran to the basket. Paul looked at him, and then threw the ball into the air.
Jordan jumped up directly, received a pass from Paul, and directly pressed Curry to make a powerful all-match slam dunk.
"Bang!"
A blast dunk pushed the entire basket down several centimeters.
The cheers at the scene suddenly went up, and the Sky Connect City reappeared!
The camera was given to Cole on the sidelines. Cole looked up at the scoreboard, and in these two rounds, the Clippers had already scored the difference to 12 points from 5 points inside and outside.
The Warriors continued to advance to the frontcourt, and the Clippers' defensive strategy seemed to retreat from the first two rounds. When Green stood alone at the top of the circle again, his face changed significantly.
I let him go like this for three consecutive rounds, which is obviously a reflection on him!
This time, before Cole could shout, he picked up the ball and threw it out.
Green's three-point package is blue. The blue three-point package can guarantee a certain shooting rate, but it is impossible to guarantee that he will make every three-pointer at a free spot, especially when his emotions fluctuate.
"Bang!"
With a dull sound, the three-pointer jumped out of the basket again, and this time it bounced far and was taken into his arms by Jeff Green.
The Clippers took advantage of the situation and launched a fast attack. Tang Shuai's feet became angry. He went to the frontcourt to receive Paul's second pass. He directly passed Thompson with a drifting layup and sent the ball steadily into the basket.
106 to 96, the Clippers scored a small ** and scored only 10 points left!
Cole reached out and called for a timeout. The Clippers' strange move had a completely unexpected result. If he continued, the 10-point difference would probably be smoothed out in the blink of an eye.
On the contrary, on the other hand, the players from the Clippers were greeted by the excited cheers of the substitutes. They had seen the points almost being pulled apart and their confidence gradually declined, and finally saw the hope of winning again.
The nervousness on Kassel's face eased a lot at this moment.
After the timeout, the Warriors' offense was still in the same round as before.
The Warriors are seeking change, Curry and Thompson try to get rid of the defense, but the defenses on both sides are tightly attached. There is no need to say more about Curry's two defenses on the side. Brewer is using all his strength on Thompson, and he is completely desperate to fight.
Green took the ball and turned around, but couldn't find the pass point. There was no way, so he had to choose to attack by himself.
He drove the ball twice to the free throw line, and saw that Jordan just stretched out his hand, and before he could come out, he followed up and shot from mid-range.
"Bang!"
Perhaps it was the continuous ironshot that affected his shooting feeling, and the mid-range distance of almost empty space actually jumped out of the basket.
Fortunately, Bogut caught the rebound.
After Bogut grabbed the rebound, he swung his hand and sent the ball into the basket.
But the moment he got up, one hand suddenly slapped the ball in his hand off guard.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Jordan turned around and turned around and made a big splash.
After blocking the shot, Jordan Jr. reacted quickly and even won the rebounds!
The fans at the scene cheered, and the ball cover was full of domineering. And the key cover was Bogut, the Australian with a lot of small movements!
After Jordan got the rebound, he immediately threw it to Jeff Green beside him. Green was quick-eyed and then gave it to Paul.
The moment Paul received the ball, Tang Shuai followed and ran out, and the two backcourts of the Clippers ran towards the frontcourt.
Only Curry reacted back and retreated sharply, relying on speed to catch up with Paul.
