Uduka three high-level joint defense restrains the Warriors, Xu Jingyu bluntly stated that the Warriors are in danger and are on the edge of the cliff

In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Rockets defeated the Warriors 115-107, dragging the series into a tiebreak battle. In this game, the Rockets once used the "three high joint defense" tactic. Adams, Shin Kyung and Jabarry Smith took turns to bomb. Adams played in 31 minutes and scored 17 points and 5 rebounds (3 frontcourt boards). Shin Kyung contributed 21 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists. The two teamed up to build a no-fly zone.

The Warriors made only 15 of 49 three-pointers in the game, and the inside scored 32-42, with a net loss of 4 rebounds 42-46. Curry scored 29 points and 7 rebounds, butler scored 27 points and 14 free throws, and the role players performed very mediocrely.

After the game, basketball commentator Su Qun updated: "Hehe, the Rockets and the Warriors have played 3-3. The Warriors cannot break the Rockets' three-high defense and have been using their brains to cut Adams. It should have broken the record of the number of times of cuts, because Uduka has been insisting on not changing. The tie-up is good."

Another commentator Xu Jingyu said: "If Curry's G7 is reversed, this is the consequence. You must know at a thought that the public opinion storm will come so vigorously. To be honest, the Warriors who fought until the 7th battle are already in danger. Because whenever you are turned into this virtue by the opponent and the opponent has a home advantage, you are now on the edge of the cliff."

The Warriors' loss in this game was completely controlled by Uduka's "three-high tactics"! The Rockets' operations of inside and forwards are simply tailor-made for the Warriors, which restrains Cole's death from the dead. Adams' 120 kilogram weight was hit by the basket, and the Warriors' small lineup could not even touch the rebound; Shin Kyung's dreamy footsteps made the Warriors' inside line play, and those who turned around and hooked directly stopped the Warriors; Jabbarry Smith's shooting ability can also open up space for his teammates, making the Warriors double-team Shin Kyung pay the price.

The "three high joint defense" presented by Wuduka, you can hit three points on the outside, and the inside covers the breakthrough route with height. The Warriors made 49 three-pointers in the game, 19 more than the Rockets. What's the result? The shooting rate is less than 30%, and you will be killed. When the Warriors' offense relies too much on three-point shooting, this is enough to show that the Rockets' success in defense makes the opponent unable to easily break through to the inside and score.

The Warriors' move to cut Adams was purely "injuring 800 enemies and losing 1,000 to himself". They fouled Adams 8 times in the game, but they made 9 of 16 free throws, with a low free throw percentage, but they scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal. On the other hand, the Warriors themselves made a back pass mistake at the critical moment in the final quarter, which directly ruined the momentum of chasing the score. Cole's five small lineups are crazy, right? Curry and Butler broke through and hit the wall, and the outside shooter collectively failed to get accurate. How could he pass and cut? This tactic was outdated ten years ago.

The Rockets play at home in tiebreak, with the inside combination of Adams + Shin Kyung, paired with the Devil's home atmosphere; how can the Warriors' lineup height match the opponent's strength?

After all, the Warriors' life gate is Cole's obsession, holding the "five small lineup" every year as a family heirloom, but now the league is no longer the era when "those who get three points win the world" ten years ago. Without the support of the inside, no matter how accurate the three-pointer is, it is a castle in the air. Besides, the Warriors already have the ability to provide the bottom-up ability during the period of the Tsunami Brothers. In the tiebreak battle, the Warriors either change the height of the formation or wait to be nailed to the pillar of shame - fighting for bayonets to defend, it is indeed difficult to match the strength of the Rockets. The opponent will put the best defensive resources on Curry no matter what. It is understandable that Cole uses Payton Jr. to start, after all, he wants to hold VanVleet's offensive firepower, but unfortunately he still cannot limit it.

If this is the case, it is better to get the best offensive resources. If the opponent places the defense heavy forces on Curry, it means that the teammates may get better scoring opportunities. G7 reuses the projections of Post, Boger, Moody and Santos. As for Kumingga and Rooney, they will use them as appropriate and give playing time according to their performance; once the two have too many negative effects, they will immediately withdraw and stop the loss.
