Super All-around Point Guard

As the coach of a team with the best record in history, Cole's failure to guard Xie Chen in these games has already made him feel like a failure. If his team's carefully designed offensive tactics are again seen through and defended by Xie Chen , then he and the entire coaching staff would be embarrassed, and the Coach of the Year trophy would be thrown away.

Weave tactics are by no means just a simple routine. Otherwise, not only Xie Chen can see through it, but any opponent can see the Warriors' offensive routine and stop it.

The Warriors also have an advanced version of the weave tactic. The difference between the advanced version of the weave tactic and the previous tactic is the changes of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. In the advanced version of the weave tactic, they should run towards the top of the key. Klay Thompson, who was doing hand-to-hand coordination and then executing the pick-and-roll, did not do what he did before. He just made a fake move towards the top of the arc. This fake move successfully deceived Xie Chen, and then Thompson was suddenly caught off guard. Reverse running under the basket, at the same time, Curry, who got the opportunity, suddenly circled to the top of the arc and took over from Klay Thompson to complete the next action.

This change in details has a great impact on defenders like the Knicks, because the Knicks players’ defensive expectation is that Klay Thompson will execute the pick-and-roll, and when Stephen Curry is about to start, the Knicks players will also We have to face a big problem in a very short period of time. Curry and Thompson are crossing paths. Should we switch defenses? How should we prevent hand-to-hand coordination and pick-and-rolls after that?

The best thing about the Warriors' play is their imagination and free-spirited style. The five players on the court are all excellent tactical implementers, and the Warriors have at least three of the league's top tactical organizers, who can read very quickly and accurately. The opponent's defense will not always execute tactics. Even a three-pointer tactic may end with a layup.

After several battles, Xie Chen no longer dared to defend so "boldly". The Warriors' tactics are ever-changing, and these people can play according to different defenses in a short period of time. In these rounds, every time the Warriors score a goal All of them exceeded everyone's expectations. You can't guess which one of them will complete this offense. When the ball gets into their hands, it seems that anyone can be the terminator.

"The Warriors are too strong." Xie Chen also had to admire the Warriors as a team. A basketball game is for five people. Even if Xie Chen has the most incredible basketball talent in the world, there are some aspects that are beyond his capabilities.

This game made Phil Jackson sigh: "Steve Kerr is still far better than Fisher."

Zen Master looked at Cole with a confident smile on his face and sighed. In fact, when he took charge of the Knicks with great ambitions, the first head coach he thought of hiring was Steve Kerr. was the first choice. Fisher was not even ranked as the second choice and could only be ranked third. At first, the Zen master claimed to the media that Cole had verbally agreed to his invitation, but in the end Cole still The Zen master cheated and ran to the Golden State Warriors.

Kerr has achieved great success as a rookie coach. You must know that the Warriors players were dissatisfied with the firing of former Warriors coach Mark Jackson. After Kerr took over as coach, no Warriors player commented on Twitter or in interviews or other channels. , welcomed Cole.

Zen Master admires Cole's talent very much, but at the same time he feels sorry for Cole. If Cole had agreed to his invitation, Cole would have been able to coach a once-in-a-century genius like Xie Chen.

In fact, Cole sometimes wonders, what will the union between himself and Xie Chen be like? But with players like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Dream Green, he already feels extremely satisfied.

The core tactic of the Knicks is the triangle offense. Don't think that the Warriors can't play the triangle offense. When Cole was a player, he played under Phil Jackson's triangle offense system, and assistant coach Luke Walton also did it when he was with the Lakers. They're all dealing with the triangle offense.

Cole made some simplifications and modifications to the triangle offensive tactic to make it more suitable for the Warriors team and to maximize the characteristics of the Warriors. It can be seen that the Warriors have many classic triangle offensive combinations that are copied from Zen Master.

Seeing the Warriors trained by Cole destroying the Knicks in this way, Jackson's eyes started to hurt and he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Every excessive defensive pressure means an opportunity to slip through the back door!" The Warriors players still remember the coach's teachings to them. With good qualities and outstanding talents, they can execute the triangle offense better than the Knicks players. Be good!

Fisher's face became more and more ugly. He was bullied so badly by Cole.

At this time, Jackson has also decided that after the finals, regardless of whether the Knicks can win the championship, Fisher must be fired. His abilities and those gossips make him no longer qualified for this position.

"Fischer is dismissed! Why should he be the coach of a championship-level team if he doesn't know how to use a player as strong as Xie Chen?

"Fisher's level is so average, and the Knicks have already reached the Finals. I can't imagine what the Knicks would be like with a coach as outstanding as Cole. I can only be sure that the Knicks' ball will be better." ! This is a pity for Xie Chen. Like LeBron James, he has never met the top coach."

Superstars such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade have all followed great coaches, and the same is true for Stephen Curry. Only LeBron James and Xie Chen are in the same boat at this point, and they never meet. Great coaches, but even so, they still achieved great results under these circumstances.

But whether it is James or Xie Chen, they both hope to meet outstanding coaches like Popovich and Cole.

The Warriors had been leading the score, but there was no smile on assistant coach Luke Walton's face. Cole saw it inadvertently and asked in a low voice: "We should have no problem winning today's game. Why are you not happy?" What does it look like?”

Luke Walton withdrew his eyes from Xie Chen and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about how I would use Xie Chen if I were the coach of the Knicks."

Luke Walton actually feels sorry for Xie Chen. He respects Xie Chen very much, a great opponent who has caused them trouble. At the same time, Walton also has great ambitions, and he needs top players like Xie Chen to help him achieve them. , the Los Angeles Lakers are a team that is attractive to any star. He firmly believes that if he can be the coach of the Lakers, one day in the future, it may be possible for the two to join forces.

After hearing this, Coach Cole laughed and said, "Are you already thinking about how to deal with my Warriors? It seems that the match between us next season will be exciting."

Walton just said it unintentionally. When he heard Cole's joke, he quickly laughed: "The Lakers are the bottom team in the league, how can they challenge the Warriors? You must be merciful next season and don't let us lose too miserably." .”

…

In the fourth game, the Knicks still lost. The Warriors strangled Xie Chen and allowed other Knicks players to defeat them. In the end, Xie Chen's teammates did not play at a high level and only surpassed the Warriors by 7 points for a short period of time. , but was quickly chased back by the Warriors. However, coach Cole previously said that Xie Chen should score less than 30 points in this game, but he did not do it. Xie Chen still scored 33 points because he converted after three steals. direct score.

The series became a 2:2 tie again, and the next game would be back to the Warriors' devilish home court. For Xie Chen, it meant another legendary game. He felt that the probability of meeting last year's Warriors was very high.

Regarding the legendary Warriors, the only thing that worries Xie Chen the most is last year’s Warriors.

That night, after Xie Chen coaxed Suri to sleep, he ran to the study and watched last year's finals between the Warriors and the Heat.

Xie Chen watched tirelessly. Not long after, Katie, who had some insomnia, came to the room to look for him. Katie knew that Xie Chen lost the game tonight, and guessed that Xie Chen might be watching the video to find the reason for the failure, but Katie found the computer screen. Above, it’s the scene from last year’s finals.

"Why did you go to watch their game last year?" Katie asked curiously.

It wasn't until Katie spoke that Xie Chen noticed Katie walking into the room. The reason why Xie Chen watched last year's Warriors game was of course to deal with the legendary Warriors, but he definitely couldn't confess this to Katie.

Xie Chen stretched and replied: "Oh, that's right. I've watched a lot of Warriors game videos this season. Last year's Warriors also had many classic tactical routines, some of which they didn't use much this season. Cole's There’s also the possibility that guys can bring back what they did last year against us, so I want to find out.”

Katie stretched out her slender right hand and stroked Xie Chen's cheek, looking distressed: "These should be things the coaching staff does. My dear, you are so tired. In this team, everything needs to be done by you." Come on, I really feel for you. When will you be paired with a good coach like Cole?"

Xie Chen also stood up and kissed Katie, smiled and said: "Phil has told me that he plans to resign Fisher next season, but I don't think he can hire a good coach."

Katie asked: "Do you have a favorite candidate? What about Kenny Smith? I heard that Rockets fans now hope that he can coach."

Xie Chen shook his head: "Why would you recommend him? Is it because you are in the same industry? But you are at ESPN and he is at T.NT, so you don't have any friendship, right?"

Katie glared at Xie Chen angrily: "I know him a little bit, but it was all thanks to you. In order to be the host of First Take and to work in the same field as you, I read a lot of information and I watched a lot of shows and the conversations of those guys on ESPN. I found that Kenny Smith seemed to know how to play the game, and he was also a point guard. Generally, guys with a point guard background have good results as coaches, right? Like Shi Steve Cole, Jason Kidd... Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

As Katie was talking, she noticed Xie Chen staring at her with a very strange look.

Xie Chen looked at Katie and said with admiration: "My dear, you really understand football better and better."

After hearing this, Katie immediately became shy and fell into Xie Chen's arms like a little bird. Xie Chen also took the opportunity to hold Katie tighter. The two had not been intimate for a long time. Katie finally gave birth to the baby. People should quickly resume their usual married life...

However, just when Xie Chen's hand was about to make a move, Katie's next words immediately frightened Xie Chen and retracted his sinful hand: "So can I apply to be an assistant coach with the Knicks?"

…

A woman's heart is at a loss. Xie Chen knew that Katie was an ambitious and bold woman, but he didn't expect that she would actually want to be an assistant coach of an NBA team. She might even plan to coach Xie Chen as the head coach in the future!

The NBA is a men's league, but it is not that no female coaches have joined it. Just two years ago, the Spurs announced on their official website that Becky Harmon, a six-time WNBA All-Star, has officially become a member of the Spurs' assistant coaching team. Harmon became the first female coach to be officially hired by a team in the history of the NBA and even the four major North American professional sports leagues.

Xie Chen could understand Katie's thoughts. She wanted to be with Xie Chen all the time, so that the two of them could face difficulties together and share joy together, but frankly speaking, Xie Chen didn't want his wife to hang out with such a group of men all day long.

He still thinks it would be better to let Katie be the host...

…

Coming to Auckland again, the two sides are about to start the fifth finals game.

This battle at Tianwangshan is very important. Winning this game is basically equivalent to touching the championship trophy. Getting the match point is what both the Warriors and the Knicks want to do.

Previously, the score between the two sides was a 2-2 draw, which showed that they were evenly matched. In fact, the Knicks still beat the Warriors. Because Xie Chen did not play in the first game of the finals, the Knicks did not show their due strength at all. After Xie Chen returned, the score in the finals was 2:1, so the Warriors were still quite anxious.

The Golden State Warriors are sitting at home. This is the best opportunity for them. They must win this game, no matter what the cost. At the same time, Draymond Green has also planned to do everything possible.

After the Tianwangshan battle started, the Knicks players got into the state very quickly and had a good shooting touch. Even if they missed, Lopez, the team's insider, could always grab rebounds. The Warriors seemed very passive from the beginning.

At this time, Draymond Green forced Lopez for a layup during an offense, but Lopez blocked it with one hand. Green had already jumped up. After the ball was blocked, Green made an exaggerated move. movements, waving his arms, and a ferocious expression, as if he was blocked because of a foul. The two of them did have physical contact. It's hard to say whether the block was clean or not, but this was not the reason for this offense. focus.

Because Green's foot kicked Lopez's ****, Lopez knelt on the floor in pain.
