Super Heavy Artillery

From the paper strength of both sides, thunder is the upper hand. Especially the offensive side, explosive force and stability compatible thunder backcourt, gave the Raptors huge pressure.

However, the Raptors defense is very good.

Although they usually only use eight players to rotate, but there are a few excellent defensive players in these eight players. Both Leonard and Pau Gasol have entered the best defensive lineup and even won the regular season best defensive player award. Their defensive strength and ability on the inside and outside are at the top of the league. Denny green is the Spurs' trump card 3D player, he has a significant effect on the opponent's backcourt players. Lori is the most offensive fouls player in the playoffs. He has a strong body and a quick contraction and response ability. Ibaka and ziakam are both tall and fast players with long arms and fast speed. In particular, ziakam has a fierce style of defense, full of vitality and concentration. He can give full play to his own speed and arm spread advantages, and can also defend the outside line, and keep pace with those small players.

The player's defensive ability is outstanding, Nash's defensive strategy is also good. When the two are integrated, the power of the defensive end is greatly improved. Raptors have always been the top defensive team in the league this season. In the regular season, the Raptors are second only to Oklahoma City and are on par with Celtic, jazz and Pacers.

In the playoffs, their defense went further.

In the eastern semi-final, facing the long-standing 76 people, Nash discharged the double tower lineup. Although Ibaka was not directly in the starting lineup, for a long time, he and Pau Gasol were present at the same time. This is a bold adventure, after all, in today's League, small lineups and fast-paced tactics are the mainstream. In the case of siakam's injury, the strength was greatly reduced, Nash timely change of formation is very effective, very good to limit the death of 76 people of the five major lineups. Ibaka and Pau Gasol are both very good defensively, they almost blocked the whole area. At the same time, Gasol's playing time overlaps with that of Joel nbid. Under his defense, the league's No.1 center even made 11 points.

In the Eastern Conference finals, defense played a bigger role in the game. At first, the Bucks played very smoothly at home. The group of shooters on their outer line are like tigers descending the mountain, and the front line of the Raptors can not be stopped. Inside also take adetuo Kunbo has no way, little Gasol's speed is slow, Ibaka is also old, mobility and flexibility is far inferior to adtokumbo, can only let it in the interior line.

But after returning to Toronto, Nash adjusted his defensive strategy decisively.

Raptors players in the first three quarters are mainly using physical confrontation to consume adtokumbo, including him, consuming him, let him out of the ball to his teammates, try not to let him in the low post and the inside line. In the fourth quarter, the Raptors began to change their strategy. In contrast to the first three quarters, when adtokumbo was holding the ball outside the three-point line, put him two meters away and watch him hold the ball near the free throw line.

At this time, adtokumbo hesitated to fight. He tried two ways to deal with the situation. One is a breakthrough. But because the other side's defense distance is very good, he can't throw away the opponent, and he can't rely on his body. After rushing up, he will certainly be trapped by the Raptors on both sides, so it is very difficult to break through to the inside line. The other is to distribute the ball to the teammates. But it's hard too! If you give the ball directly outside the three-point line, no one in the Bucks can handle the ball at this critical moment. Middleton is still too young, the crucial moment want to let him single, it is better to let adetuo Kunbo hard to the basket. If in the breakthrough points the ball, adetuo Kunbo's own sense and ability of passing is very limited, the intention of passing is too obvious, it is easy to be preempted. It would be very demoralizing to attack with such a snatch at the critical moment.

The next finals, both sides of the defense will certainly play a very important role in the game. However, when the Raptors changed to thunder, their defense must be another scene.

From the players of both sides, the two sides will not make too many adjustments in the lineup. Lori defends Westbrook, not to mention the advantage, also won't have the big disadvantage. As the Raptors' stealer king, Lori's ability on the defensive side allows him to limit most of his fellow players. Of course, Westbrook is also good at those things. Green defends ANLO, which will affect the game. There are not many people in the league who can limit ANLO one-on-one, and even fewer who can limit him as he runs without the ball. Denny green is a very good 3D, even if his "3" is more and more unreliable, but the defense is getting stronger and stronger. Position three is the most tit for tat position in the game. Leonard and Paul George are both offensive and defensive players. Who can win the game greatly affects the outcome of the game. Inside the competition, Raptors are leading some. It's hard for grant to play well enough against Hickam or Adams against Pau Gasol.

It is worth noting that Gasol may pull to the outside line to defend, let the three-point ball has not been good green to strengthen the inside line of defense. That's what they do to bucks. However, because Adams's outside range is not enough, the Raptors can directly adhere to the initial alignment without changing defense.If the thunder play no ball tactics run three-point chance, the Raptors' excellent defense ability will not give them the opportunity to directly open the three-point shot, if forced to shoot, the percentage of hits can not be guaranteed. And it can be expected that Anluo will definitely be taken care of by the other party, and he may not be able to provide much help to thunder.

But this defense is a double-edged sword. Thunder is not just Anluo who can score. Once he attracts enough Raptors defense, Paul George, Westbrook and even grant will get more and better opportunities.

More importantly, the Raptors defense is good, but the thunder defense is not bad. Under the same defensive intensity, the Raptors will face more pressure. Even if Leonard is good enough, in the previous games, he can always rely on his personal ability to help the team out of the quagmire. But thunder, as the defending champion, will not give him such a chance. As long as their defense puts Leonard in a single attack rhythm, the game will become easier.
