The death of Steve Cole shocked the whole world.
Although the Grizzlies have become the first to eat crabs during the regular season this year. The word "death five" was invented by link.
However, the situation of the two teams using the five small lineups was quite different. At that time, the Grizzlies played the five small lineups, which was more of a helpless move.
At that time, the black and white bears were injured one after another, and the Grizzlies were extremely weak. The grizzly bear is forced to go to such an extreme.
And in that game, the death of Grizzlies only appeared for a short time. In other words, the Grizzlies don''t use that lineup as the main lineup.
But the warriors are different. Bogut and David Lee are still healthy. Cole''s choice of death is not in helplessness, it is entirely intentional.
Second, the warriors played almost all 48 minutes with five small lineups. Even when it comes to substitute center Spitz, the warriors are a small team. After all, Spitz''s shoe height is only 2.08 meters.
Cole has pushed the concept of five small teams to the whole world. This is more extreme than the sun and the heat''s one big four small lineup, which has completely changed the pattern of the basketball world.
In the last game, the Grizzlies snatched 16 offensive rebounds from the warriors, but it still couldn''t stop the warriors from winning the final victory.
The victory of the Warriors is not just a victory, if the warriors can really use five small lineups to get rid of Grizzlies. So what they will change is the development of the whole basketball game!
Warriors and Cole have become the object of discussion, so that the League released the best defensive lineup list, it seems that everyone does not care.
The day after World War II in the Western Conference finals, the Grizzlies once again had more than one player on the league''s best defensive lineup list.
Link, together with Paul, Jordan Jr., Leonard and green, was selected as the first defensive lineup for the third consecutive year.
In addition to link, Jimmy Butler and Tony Allen have also become one of the best defensive lineups. It''s just that they''re selected for the best defensive second.
A team with three players in the best defensive lineup at the same time, it is estimated that only the Grizzlies can do this.
But in the face of the terrible death of the warriors, the Grizzlies have three players selected for the best defensive lineup.
How about three players in the best defensive lineup at the same time? Didn''t they lose to the warriors in the last game?
Everyone thought the warriors could launch a Jedi counterattack in Auckland, because from the last game, there seemed to be no weakness in the warriors'' five teams.
Green attack and defense, is the axis of warriors.
Curry and Thompson play like fish in the water in the fast-paced, it is not easy to get points.
Livingston and Barnes can meet the needs of fast-paced games, and the height of the two guys allows them to stagger to defend all positions except center forward.
Rebounding? As it turns out, rebounding is not going to make warriors lose the game.
The famous Japanese centre forward akamu Gangxian''s famous saying does not apply to warriors.
Everything is very similar to the original history, and the death of warriors seems to sweep the alliance again.
However, the defending champion Grizzlies are not living in fear. As link said yesterday, the real fight has just begun. Where does anyone admit defeat before the battle begins.
Before the next day''s training, Joel was determined to bring the Grizzlies'' small lineup to the table.
Yesterday''s game, Joel''s heart is actually a little hesitant. In the second half, when Whiteside and Gasol were obviously at a loss, he still chose to give them some playing time.
To put it bluntly, Joel didn''t make up his mind to play in the small team yesterday. He still wants to try to solve the crisis in the conventional way.
Link can understand this very well. As a person who has experienced the era of small ball, link''s acceptance of the five small lineups is very high. In his opinion, playing in the small lineup is a strange thing.
But they are different, for them, the five small lineup is a new field and concept. What''s more, it''s something that completely conflicts with their previous understanding of basketball.
Think about it. A person who has worked as a coach for most of his life on the professional basketball court suddenly finds that all the ideas he has accumulated before are no longer applicable to them. What a shock it is to them.
It is obviously impossible for them to accept this idea at once.
Why did the warriors'' five teams succeed? At that time, there were few teams in the league with small lineups. No coach would have thought of getting five players about two meters tall to play.
So in the face of warriors, you either go to the center and run with you until you''re killed. Or with the small lineup, but because there is no corresponding configuration and was killed.
No matter how you choose, you lose!But the Grizzlies are different, in link''s reminder, the Grizzlies have to have a small lineup configuration. And in the Western Conference finals before, also specially has carried on the closed type training.
Therefore, link docking next game is still full of confidence. And in the case of corresponding preparation, it is easier for Joel and the rest of the Grizzlies to accept the concept of five small lineups.
"In the next game, we also need a small team to compete with the warriors. So the next game, mark and Hassan, you two may have a sharp drop in your playing time Joel gave Gasol and Whiteside the first shot, since determined to play in the small team, it must have Cole''s courage.
The players who can''t be used for the time being, no matter how excellent they are!
"For the team to win, I have no problem." Gasol responded cheerfully that although he was the starting center for this year''s western all star team, he was willing to sacrifice himself for the team.
Gasol readily agreed, and Whiteside had nothing to say. He nodded in silence, which was also accepted that he might not be able to play in the Western Conference finals.
"Well, thank you for your support and understanding. Before the Western Conference finals, we trained for a long time to deal with this situation. Even, he was fined several times by the League for closed training. I hope our efforts and fines are not in vain. The next game, in Auckland, we''ll play a small team! "
"Harris is in position five, link is in position four. Tony and Jimmy, you''re working together to block the flanks. Mike, you continue to control the rhythm. Andre, I need you to lead the second team on the bench. The warriors think that they can beat us with five small lineups, so let''s have a good memory of who created this kind of play first
With a big wave of his hand, Joel stopped struggling. He didn''t want to ruin the whole situation because of his indecision.
The Grizzlies might not have lost the last game if he had played a little more decisively. Joel won''t make the same mistake twice.
While the outside world is still guessing how to deal with the Grizzlies'' next game, they have chosen the most extreme way.
Five vs five, all grizzly players know that the next game in Auckland is bound to be a match like Mars hitting the earth.
In the afternoon, everyone''s training was very positive. The Grizzlies are on full alert, and even Vince Carter, who is nearly 40, is training very hard.
This "old flying man" is very clear, if plays five small lineup, his appearance time will increase. It''s a Western Conference final, and he doesn''t want to be a weak spot.
He doesn''t want to miss the Finals again!
Even after the training, link had a bath and was ready to go back, only to find that Carter was still practicing!
When link walked into the training hall in casual clothes, he found Carter practicing three-point shooting in the left corner.
Today, Carter seems to have a preference for the bottom left corner. In training, he made a lot of shots in that position. Now, I still stay here to practice in that position.
"Vince! Don''t you go back to rest? " Link stood by and watched for a long time. Seeing that Carter still didn''t mean to stop, he called out to Carter curiously.
"I''m not tired yet. I''ll practice a little more." Carter responded with a smile and continued to shoot in the bottom left corner, with no intention of leaving.
When Carter gets to the basket, he''s in charge of the ball.
"In that case, I''ll practice with you."
Link smiles and passes the ball to Carter. He knew that Carter was not acting on impulse.
As a team leader, link is willing to find out why.
