The Warriors' weakness is on the offensive end, and like the Spurs, they lack a super scorer who can make a decisive decision.Their top scorer was Thompson, who averaged 241 points, 48 rebounds and 21 assists per game while shooting 463 from the field, 439 from three-point range and 879 from the free throw line.In all respects, he is much weaker than Wang Jun, relying too much on jump shots for scoring, averaging only 38 free throws per game, lacking lethality.Thompson's defense on the defensive end is easier for Carroll, but on the offensive end it is not so easy, Wang Jun is in front of him.He singled out Wang Jun and couldn't break through, and his best step-back jump shot was always interfered with.He imitated Wang Jun's way of playing, and the two were opposed, which was "playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong".Thompson relied on his teammates to cover and get rid of it, and Aminu's starting role came into play, he and Carroll both swayed forwards, no matter who played the cameo power forward, they were very quick to change defenses and could interfere with outside shots.In such a system, the only weakness of the Kings is the interior defense, and the Warriors' two starting interior players are not good at attacking the basket.Green's strength lies in opening up space and responding to the offense.His range is beyond the three-point line, like a weakened version of James, which will create more opportunities for defenders to break through.If Green responds and shoots from the perimeter, Aminu can defend it; He is shorter than Aminu and Carroll, and he will consume a lot of physical strength to attack the basket, and his efficiency will not be high.Noah is not a threat on the offensive end, and he can be released from medium and long distance.After missing two shots, he didn't dare to try another shot, and stood on the perimeter to split the ball, or waited for his teammates to pick it up.There was one ball that was definitely selected for O'Neal's top five, which made the fans laugh.The 24-second offensive time has expired, Noah got the ball in the high post, and there was no one in front of him to defend and pass the ball.His offense has always been poor, relying on air cuts and layups and rushing to the front court to grab rebounds and secondary offense.are all strictly defended, the Warriors' overall offense is in trouble, but the King is open, relying on the individual ability of the star, singles Wang Jun 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Curry 9 points, the King led 24-16 in the first quarter.Lowry and Thompson played poorly, Lowry scored 4 points and 2 assists, and Thompson shot 0 of 6, scored no points, no assists, and only grabbed one rebound.ESN narrator Van Gundy praised Kidd."
Kidd's placement of Aminu's starting No. 4 position is a stroke of genius, and the Kings must renew Aminu's contract in the summer, even if his offensive ability is mediocre, which is a seriously underrated player."
McBrin laughed: "This kind of player that fits the team system and develops players is better than poaching people in the free market.When the Kings entered the playoffs, they became a defensive powerhouse.Smith was equally good at blocking and pick-and-roll, and he played off the bench just to add a playmaking point in the second quarter, and the two made a huge difference. ”Courtney Lee, Carter, Covington, Smith and Patterson make up the Kings' bench lineup.Brooks stayed on the bench waiting for an opportunity, and in order to strengthen the defense, Kidd often did not play point guard, leaving Carter and Smith organized, which was a major highlight of the strategy.Gobert played a long start in the regular season, but after four weeks of injury, Whiteside played too well, becoming a consistent two-double machine, plus super blocking ability, to steal the starter.Whiteside also had a shot that opened up the space better than Gobert.When he entered the playoffs to play small-ball tactics, "French Wu Yanzu" could only be a quiet beautiful man on the sidelines.His journey this season has been a rollercoaster ride, up and down.This arrangement is indeed more beneficial to the team, and Whiteside, who entered the league earlier, has accumulated a lot of playoff experience.The Warriors bench lineup is equally luxurious, with Livingston, Rush, Iguodala, Monroe, Speight.In the bench battle, the Kings still have the upper hand.The Kings are mainly outside shots, supplemented by breakthroughs, which is just aimed at the weakness of the Warriors, and Monroe and Speights are too slow to move.Smith was not suitable to play small forward, so he couldn't play in the Pistons, and when he entered the Kings system, he was like a fish in water at the top of the No. 4 position, opened up on the offensive end, and passed Monroe several times with the ball.Courtney Lee and Patterson covered their runs without the ball, caught the ball and hit two three-pointers in a row.Courtney Lee shot 402 three-pointers in the regular season and soared to 467 in the playoffs, averaging 133 points per game, making him an important rotation at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions.After playing 3 minutes and the margin widened to 15 points, Warriors coach Steve Kerr called a timeout and was forced to adjust the lineup.Zhang Li sighed: "The king firmly occupied the initiative at the beginning, played very easily, and got off to a good start. ”Yu Jia said with a smile: "The Warriors' problem now is not only defense, but also the offensive end, but one more Smith, and the Kings' defense has completely changed." ”At the end of the timeout, Wang Jun continued to sit on the sidelines to rest and watch his teammates play.Since his training was upgraded to level 80 and received an alien evaluation, Wang Jun's self-confidence has reached an astonishing level, and he feels that no matter who the opponent is, it doesn't matter if he is chased for points in the second quarter.Wang Jun is as steady as Mount Tai, and this group of teammates is too competitive, and they didn't let the Warriors chase the score for six minutes.When Wang Jun returned to the court, the person who defended him became Iguodala.Iguodala averaged only 78 points, 33 rebounds, 3 assists and 12 steals per game in the regular season, willing to be a blue-collar player, and entered the playoffs, where he averaged 30 minutes per game, with 94 points, 45 rebounds and 36 assists.Iguodala has rich experience in defense, when Wang Jun plays with his back, he will take the method of retreating and cutting the ball, and when the defensive frame breaks through, he uses his body to delay, and then waits for the opportunity to cut the ball, and the judgment is accurate.He blocked Wang Jun for two rounds, and Kidd immediately adjusted, and Gobert came out to replace Patterson, reducing a three-point shooting point and focusing on pick-and-roll.Wang Jun relied on the cover to get rid of Iguodala, attracted Noah to break through the baseline after switching defenses, and waited for his teammates to cut to the inside high, and Gobert scored a layup.Iguodala is very good at defending the outside, but after all, he is only 198 tall, and no matter how strong he is, he will be deflated against 216 Gobert.Gobert receives the ball close to the basket, and Green is not easy to block when he returns to the defense, which is an absolute height advantage.It was much easier for Wang Jun to single-handedly challenge Noah, there was a significant difference in speed between the two, and in the next round, Noah changed his guard a little slower, and was skipped by Wang Jun.He drew Green to the left side of the basket and then split the ball to the left side, Smith took the ball and took off, and the tomahawk in his left hand smashed the ball in.The Warriors attacked, the Kings mixed defense, and switched defenses when they encountered blocks and pick-and-rolls on the periphery, and Gobert was always on the baseline, retracting the basket at any time and guarding the restricted area.The Kings guarded Thompson and Lowry tightly and let others shoot.Iguodala and Green have average jump shots, and Noah is even worse.There was Monroe who could attack on the bench, but Kerr didn't dare to send it on the field, which would be even more difficult to defend against Wang Jun.Grinding positions, the warriors can't grind the king, and the stars are inferior in heads-up ability.It's not just that Thompson is not as good as Wang Jun, Curry also has the upper hand against Lowry, he has a height advantage, and he has a chance to pull out his shot.Looking at Curry's shot choice is like being blind, shooting at people, shooting fast, just being able to score.In the final quarter, Kerr made a desperate bet to play small-ball tactics, allowing Green to play a cameo role as a center, Barnes as a big forward, and Iguodala as a small forward, with two guards to counterattack and shoot three-pointers.The Kings also fielded the "Death Five", with Smith as a cameo center, and the other four Carroll, Wang Jun, Courtney Lee, and Curry.The regular season looks at the whole game, and the rotation of the lineup is very important.In the playoffs, the individual ability of the star plays a greater role.After speeding up the tempo, the king had a slight advantage, and the point difference widened.With three minutes remaining, the Kings led by 22 points and the game went into garbage time.In the end, 115-95, the king got off to a good start.s:
