The Basketball Court Swordsman

The Warriors, who trailed by 15 points at halftime and just scored 10 consecutive victories, have not experienced such a bad moment for a long time.

The twin towers that Mark Jackson is proud of didn't work, and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson didn't have a lot of opportunities, and the scoring data were not satisfactory.

Now, he has no choice. The team that controls the initiative is the big lead. The only thing Mark Jackson can do is to follow the advice of coach Lang Scott, strengthen the offense, and play a big or four small lineup!

What is the concept of 15 points behind the steady Pacers? You have to score 5 three-pointers in a row, and you can't get the Pacers to score during this period, in order to even the score.

Against other teams, it seems not difficult to get 15 points at halftime. But against the defending champion, the conventional method will definitely not work.

Anyway, it's dead, it's better to let it go!

"The dream of coach Mark Jackson's 11-game winning streak is breaking down. He shouldn't face the Pacers with such arrogance before the game. He should have thought that Coach Henson could not let him get what he wanted." On the commentary stage, Reggie M. Le was still teasing Mark Jackson.

At this time, Mark Jackson has quietly arranged the big and four small tactics, just waiting for the opening!

Henson did not expect Mark Jackson to have the courage to break the boat, so when the second half began, Henson found that Draymond Green replaced Bogut in the starter, he was as surprised as Reggie Miller in the commentary.

"Coach Mark Jackson took the lead in the change. He really didn't want to waste the chance of tying the 11-game winning streak. A major and a junior team, the Warriors changed into a major and a minor team. They plan to attack. Counterattack!"

Draymond Green, Henson stared at the short guy. The performances of the 23rd today have made Henson shine.

As a second-round pick, Green was able to get a regular rotation position with the Warriors this season, undoubtedly and very successfully. But Henson believes that Green's value is more than that. Combining the abilities he saw with the qualities Green demonstrated today, this guy should be able to become a "lubricant" player in the future.

He can lead the defense with his tough and somewhat rude attitude, can use his excellent passing and control ability to organize the offense, and can use his three-point range to open up space for teammates.

The comprehensive ability of this second-round show is absolutely beyond the imagination of most people. If Henson is now coaching the Warriors, he will try to get Green to control the ball in order to realize the full potential of Curry and Thompson in offensive offenses.

But there is no doubt that Mark Jackson does not think this bad-tempered No. 23 is a generalist. At least for now, the only advantages he sees in Draymond Green are defense and range. To put it bluntly, Mark Jackson is using Green as a large "3D" player.

But even so, Green can play a huge role. After all, this season Draymond Green's three-pointers shooting rate is as high as 33%, just in line with passing standards. And today, Green has a record of two three-pointers.

"He has changed. It seems that you underestimated Mark Jackson's guts." Vogel smiled. Before the game, he was worried that Mark Jackson might use a small lineup. Unexpectedly, the Warriors were actually forced into this field.

"Yes, when a person is forced into desperation, he can do everything. But his small lineup is not thorough enough." Although Henson was a little surprised, he was not worried. To fight against each other, Henson is not against whom...

"What do you mean? Isn't it small enough? Now their tallest David Lee is only 2.06 meters!"

"It's really not small enough. If it were me, I would let Green play center."

At the time, Frank Vogel thought Henson was joking. At that time, he still didn't know how brilliant Draymond Green would play in the fifth position of the Warriors...

For the first offense after the start of the second half, the Warriors succeeded. Of course, scoring is not based on three-pointers, but Curry's beautiful layup.

This time, David Lee pulled Horford to mid-range, and Green simply pulled West beyond the three-point line.

Curry broke through behind the empty basket and chasing Paul behind him, deliberately hitting the opponent with his **** and then immediately threw a layup.

Curry’s layup method is very clever. He knows that he is not dominant in athletic ability and confrontation ability, so the layup is mostly high throwing. This type of layup allows Curry to score goals efficiently while suffering the least physical contact.

It seems that Curry played better in the small lineup than in the regular lineup.

After that, Klay Thompson also began to play. Draymond Green runs very fast and the screen quality is quite high. His abilities often make you ignore that he is a mini-inline who is just over 2 meters tall.

Even Paul George couldn't get rid of the entanglement with Green in the first time. Klay Thompson got almost a moment of receiving and shooting, but Henson has no hope for this defense.

For a catcher of Thompson's level, a momentary gap is more than enough.

George tried to block, but the ending was similar to Henson's expectations. Clay hits a three-pointer when the waves rise!

"What a splash brother!"

"What?" Vogel scratched his head. He had heard Henson say too many words that he didn't understand today.

"Don't you think that Curry and Thompson make the Nets appear like splashes?"

"I'm not that interested, I only know that we are only 10 points ahead."

Indeed, the Warriors' firepower is indeed very fierce. But Henson also said that Mark Jackson's small lineup is not thorough enough.

After playing for 5 minutes in the second half, the Warriors have narrowed the point difference to 6 points. Mark Jackson was overjoyed and fell into self-doubt.

He has always emphasized the inside attack, but was beaten by the Pacers and the Pacers could not find North. He has always regarded the small lineup as a no-brainer, but this no-brainer turned the Warriors around.

In the first five minutes of the second half, Curry and Thompson were completely liberated, who had gained more space. And Draymond Green used the mobility of his perimeter players to disrupt the Pacers' defense time and time again, and David West's footsteps were fast inside. But firstly West is getting older, secondly, Green is not a traditional insider at all. So in terms of speed, West is at a disadvantage compared to Green.

Several times, Green can finish scoring just by hitting the basket with a brutal force.

Maybe after this game, Mark Jackson will consider the higher feasibility of a small lineup. But now, he just wants to win the game!

"Continue to use your speed to attack the opponent's defense, and replace our defense with outside offense! The score difference is only 6 points, we have to control the situation! Remember, use offense instead of defense, and give me all your firepower. !"

Mark Jackson has obviously played well. The five minutes that have just passed are more refreshing than all the time in the first half.

It turns out that the defending champion's defense can also be broken. It turns out that it is possible to equalize the double-digit difference without relying on the inside attack. Through the close-up of the live camera, people found that Mark Jackson's unbelievable expression was back.

He couldn't help but looked at the opposite bench triumphantly. The Chinese coach must be in a breeze now. But after seeing Henson's state, Mark Jackson's face immediately became gloomy again.

There was no expression on Henson's face, no fear, tension, or irritability. From his face, you can only see calmness and calmness!

"Damn it, don't hold on to it!" Mark Jackson clenched his fists and went from a lead of 15 points to a lead of 6 points. It is known who is in control of the situation just now.

Mark Jackson did not believe that Henson was not nervous at all.

However, Henson is not as fond of acting as Bird. The reason why he is expressionless is because he is sure of the game.

After the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the court. Mark Jackson craned his neck to see how Henson had changed.

Just when he saw the five players that Henson sent on the court, the audience suddenly burst into violent cheers.

At this time, Reggie Miller on the commentary stage stood up abruptly.

"Small lineup, Coach Henson also put in his small lineup! Moreover, it's not a big or four junior, but a death five!"

Henson stood on the sidelines with his hands around his chest with a serious face, and then Henson would let Mark Jackson see if it was too small to be thorough enough!

This unconventional game really made people feel scalp numb.
