Chapter 939 The Real Joint Defense

He glared at Nash and continued to advance with the ball.

When Strickland had just crossed the midfield line with one foot, Du Qi shouted “Defense! 55

Then, Nash immediately posted over and pressed Strickland.

When defending, Nash is not in a hurry to grab the ball, but only entangles Strickland at close range.

Because indiscriminately reaching out to grab the ball is easy to foul and is very dangerous.

At this time, it is enough to interfere with Strickland’s passing and offense, which is Nash’s task.

Then, the double-team of the Warriors began immediately.

Bowen pounced towards Strickland, and Ben went to cover Finley.

Du Qi went to defend Nowitzki, and Kobe went to defend Bradley.

But that leaves Ceballos open on the left side of the three-point line.

“It seems that the Warriors still have the same defensive intensity as the last game!” The American commentator said excitedly.

While Bowen wasn’t fully up, Nash’s defense against Strickland focused on cutting him and the pass lane on the left.

Because according to the Warriors’ zone defense, there will be an open space on the left side of the three-point line, which is where Ceballos is now.

Nash’s attention is only on this one pass line.

Although after many games, Nash’s defensive ability has improved a lot.

But compared to Big Ben or Kobe, his defense is not a strong point.

So for a brief moment, on the right side of the 3-point line, there was a passing opportunity.

Finley was observant, and he saw the opportunity.

He suddenly took a step out, just in time to avoid Big Ben’s back-up defense, and asked Strickland for the ball.

Strickland struggled in front of Nash, ready to pass.

Finally got a chance, Strickland passed the basketball to Finley.

Seeing Strickland’s shot, Bowen immediately turned back to defend Finley.

And Big Ben also changed direction on the way, directly to Finley’s side.

Big Ben stood right in front of Finley and kept waving, so that Finley could not continue to transfer the ball.

In half a second, Bowen also returned to Finley’s side, so Big Ben and Bowen’s double-team against Finley was formed.

Compared with the Mavericks’ three-team double-team last time, the Warriors’ defense and double-teaming were much more flexible.

At this time, Du Qi rushed over, and Finley was directly double-teamed by the three.

“The defense of the Warriors is really suffocating `~!” said the US commentator.

“,” And being very flexible, the Warriors’ double-teams aren’t aimed at one person.

There is only one goal they are aiming at, which is basketball. Whoever owns the basketball will double-team whoever is in. This is the real zone defense! 35

“But it’s not easy to do that.

Judging from past games, few teams can play such a wonderful defense.

Finley was double-teamed by the Warriors’ three-man defense, and the (good) passing opportunity was definitely gone.

In this case, the Warriors can get the basketball in just a matter of minutes.

Although Finley held the ball as strong as possible and was blocked by three people, what could be done?

It took less than three seconds for Finley’s basketball to be in Big Ben’s hands.

Then, the Warriors played a fast break, and Big Ben turned around after getting the basketball.

Bowen, Big Ben, and Nash ran to the front together, while Du Qi came from behind and ran down quickly.
