In the fierce NBA competition, the tiebreaker is always the most exciting moment. When the Warriors set foot on the Rockets' home court and face the tsunami of fans' cheers, if they want to win this life-and-death battle, every detail may become the key to the outcome.
First, the Warriors must do a targeted defense against the Rockets' core players. Rockets star Jaylen Green has super personal singles ability and excellent explosive power. The Warriors need to send defensive vanguards to press him closely, limit his breakthrough route, and force him to take action in an uncomfortable position. Andrew Wiggins can take on the main defense mission, use Wiggins' physical fitness and defensive awareness to try to disrupt Green's rhythm. At the same time, the Rockets' inside core Alperon Shinkyung should also focus on the defense. His support and scoring ability in the inside should not be underestimated. Warriors' inside player Looney needs to stay focused at all times, interfere with his passes and shooting, and cut off his connection with outside players. In addition, we must also be wary of the sudden outbreak of Rockets role players. We must not miss the defense of other players because we pay too much attention to core players. We must do a good job in team defense and make timely replacement. On the offensive end, the Warriors must give full play to their system advantages. As the soul of the team, Curry must play dominant on the offensive end. He wants to use his strong three-point deterrent power to continuously pull the Rockets' defense through running without the ball, creating more offensive space. When Curry attracts double-teams, he must pass the ball to his teammates in the open in time. Scorers such as Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole must always be focused, be prepared to catch the ball and shoot, and grasp every opportunity to make a phone call. At the same time, the Warriors should also strengthen their inside offense. Looney can make damage in the Rockets' interior by actively fighting for rebounds and pick-and-roll. In addition, the Warriors should speed up the pace of the game, use fast passes and running positions to disrupt the Rockets' defensive deployment and make their opponents run away.
Warriors must not take it lightly when it comes to rebounding. The Rockets have players with excellent rebounding abilities such as Shin Kyung, and all the players of the Warriors must enhance their awareness of rebounding protection. Whether it is an inside player or an outside player, you must actively grab rebounds, especially on defensive rebounds. Make sure that the ball is firmly controlled in your hands and avoid giving the Rockets a chance to attack a second time. Once you get a rebound, you must launch a fast break quickly and use the excellent speed and passing ability of Warriors players to play against your opponent without firm foothold. Mental adjustments in the
competition are also crucial. At the Rockets' home court, the Warriors will inevitably face tremendous pressure. The shouts of fans on the scene and the referee's judgment standards may have an impact on the players' mentality. The coaching staff of the Warriors should do a good job in psychological counseling for players before the game, so that the players can remain calm and focused, and not be disturbed by external factors. During the game, when the team encounters difficulties, players should encourage each other, communicate in a timely manner, and maintain unity. Especially veterans such as Curry should play a leading role, stabilize the morale of the army, and lead the team out of difficulties.
Finally, tactical execution and on-site response cannot be ignored. Warriors coach Cole needs to adjust his tactical strategies in a timely manner based on the actual situation of the game. If a certain tactic does not work well in the game, make decisive changes. At the same time, we must respond to the Rockets' tactical changes. For example, when the Rockets adopt joint defense, the Warriors must find loopholes in joint defense to make breakthroughs through quick ball transfers and player running positions.
In short, if the Warriors want to win the tiebreak at the Rockets' home court, they need to make details in defense, offense, rebounds, mentality and tactics. Only when every player performs at his best and cooperates closely in every link can he be able to laugh to the end of this life-and-death battle and continue to move towards the goal of the championship.
