The greatest significance of Curry’s comeback for Warriors is probably:
Jordan Poole can return to his position and continue to play a role like Monta Ellis: The performance of this season has proved that, for the time being, this is the best position for him.
— Of course, this requirement is not low at all. Monta averaged 20+5+4 at the age of Poole, with a hit rate of 53%.
Or put it another way:
It’s good to be a counterattack/part-time ball holder; For the time being, don’t expect Poole to be a ball holder.
In December, Poole averaged 27 points, but 58 assists and 64 mistakes. At the end of the month, chasing dreams began to lead the campaign. Poole concentrated on shooting and attacking, and the Warriors won 5 consecutive victories-although there were six consecutive games during that period, Poole made 34 mistakes in total.
A little black humor: last month, Poole spoke for him after 58 assists and 64 mistakes in a single month. He was chasing dreams.
“I think his mistake is fine…… I didn’t give the other party a chance to fight back…… I don’t think he made bad mistakes…… I think he sometimes gets into the crowd, but Wikins and Curry are not there, so he is really easy to be caught……”
Poole’s defense was chased by people. This season, his opponent hit 46% and 36%, which is not surprising: He has short arms, small body and is covered. The warrior could not expect him to defend well.
But his attack-the average hit rate so far this season is 44% and the third rate is 31%-is not effective.
The long shot is not accurate, the organization is ineffective, the fengshui ball is too much, and:
In 41 games, 45 ball-holding mistakes and 44 quilt.
More than one ball-holding error per game, more than one quilt?
The brain and hands and feet are not very good enough to keep up with, for example, Donovan Mitchell, who is also combo guard, is not as reasonable as shooting, and also shooting birds with random guns. But so far this season, with far higher offensive fire than Poole, 33 ball-holding mistakes in 37 games and 29 quilt.
Trey Yang’s ball holding time and handling are far more than Poole’s, with 21 ball holding mistakes in 36 games. Owen made 20 mistakes in holding the ball in 30 games. Jimmy Butler, who was similar to Poole in average holding time, made 13 mistakes in 28 games.
If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods with the goods, and the Warriors themselves:
Curry made 12 ball holding mistakes in 925 minutes this season.
Poole made 45 ball holding mistakes in 1236 minutes.
We both understand the defensive pressure they face and don’t mention it.
The second mistake that Poole made recently was that the piston was one time behind at the last moment, and fengshui ball attempted to change to break through and slip.
It can be said that it is a physical problem, but the whole ball is strange. Poole’s last attack, and Clay had already run an attempt to cooperate, so Clay handed in the ball and went to the left wing; The rest of the Warriors stood on the air Road at Four Corners and pulled away from the weak side; Poole took the fake action in the middle road, suddenly changed to the left hand and broke through, slipping.
— Even if it doesn’t slip, this is actually not a smart attack: if Poole doesn’t slip, he will definitely meet the replacement position; Clay hasn’t had time to go far and pull out. Poole didn’t make good use of the large gap between the Middle Road and the right side.
-Chasing dreams to excuse Poole, “I think he sometimes gets into the crowd, but Wikins and Curry are not there, so he is really easy to be caught……” But this ball is very obvious. In many cases, Poole himself went to the crowd.
Vision, decision-making and on-the-spot judgment.
Of course, a player can not be measured by mistakes and assists. Coach Carlyle said that the standard for evaluating an organization guard was the number of winning sessions-so Curry was not there, and the number of winning sessions held by Poole…… Well.
All right, then let me say one of my own standards:
When you watch a player playing a game, think about it: Are you happy to be a teammate with him.
Some people play in a hurry to be teammates, including but not limited to Nash and curry. There is a halo beside them. For example, we are all familiar with library gravity.
Then look at Poole……
True hit rate: 64% when Curry is with Poole this season and 69% when not with Poole.
Dream 53% to 62%.
Wikins 52% to 68%.
Luni 61% to 68%.
When Poole was present this season, the Warriors assisted 26 times per 100 rounds; When not present, the Warriors assisted 32 times per 100 rounds.
Well, then we can also say that some players, such as Evans in the King’s time and Monta in the early days of warriors, including Mitchell, are not often the same:
They can’t, or don’t want to, arrange 24 seconds each time to find out the space for their teammates steadily; But when the round is suspected to run and smash, they can vote in.
When Poole was present this season, Warriors scored 110 points per 100 rounds; When not, they scored nearly 120 points per 100 rounds.
Of course, this involves the rotation of the lineup and so on. After all, dream chasing, Wikins and Luni play with curry more and enjoy curry Halo bonus, so the contrast is particularly strong.
But Poole is really not an excellent organizer, probably no problem.
For example, he fought against the Sun, an assist in chasing dreams,:
The right wing looks for a dream-chasing block to split, break through, shoot a fake action, hesitated, and finally passed back to the dream-the sun is empty, and the well-known basket is not very good for dream-chasing.
It’s a loss to pursue dreams, but this tactic can’t be counted as much success……
In addition to vision, decision-making and on-the-spot judgment, there are also technical habits.
Poole, as a combo guard, a vice attack, was quick. The speed of Monta level is over-curved.
This season, he broke 6 points in four games, which is the level of Kuzma, dingweidi, Leonard and anfini Simmons.
His breakthrough, like to change direction from a long distance, after seizing the opportunity, one leaned forward greatly, and the low center of gravity stepped across the opponent’s side, and it can also tilt at starting speed-so it is a Monta-level overbend.
This sudden method of “pull → release” is good for surprise, emergency attack, and good for first shield.
However, the attackers of this era are facing more than one shield. Poole is fast, he is not hard enough or thin enough.
When faced with tough defense, it is either Morant’s flash move or Luca’s heavy changeable pace with incredible vision, or even Owen’s lower plate and the rare playing Point in basketball history. When Tatum tried to change his small work, he hung up his arm of meat.
In this era, the player holding the ball is not enough to grab the position with a sudden step. He has to stop and be fine. He can let the ball out at the moment when he sees the empty space-instead of the empty space flashing out of time, the ball is still hanging in my hand.
This is the natural cutting of many lightning breakthrough experts and organizations-the ball-holding organization cores in this era do not necessarily require fast speed, but they all have fine rhythm and arm meat, and those without meat are all hanging meat for themselves.
Therefore, before the body, spirit, football merchants and skills are tough to that level, the most suitable for Poole is combo guard and vice attack.
The expansion of data in this era can easily give people the illusion that a wrist can take off with penalty kick power. However, after all, the ball holding core is the most popular and cruel position in this era.
Match the array, technology, rhythm, body, where there is a problem, the opposite defense will squeeze you.
After all, no one’s defense is charity, and it will make an automatic opening without waiting for you to fight hard.
It’s like watching a master rub trick, “Oh, isn’t it just a cover to go in and throw yourself or give a vacancy?” If you really try it, you will know the size of the cover, the location of the start, the rhythm of fengshui ball, the timing of passing the ball, and the handling when facing the replacement position after the first shield, the strain capacity to protect the ball and quickly make a judgment.
Every time the stars face all this, they almost can’t do it.
Compared with Curry, the defensive pressure faced by Poole in the playoffs last season is understood. In 22 games, Poole made 21 mistakes in holding the ball. Curry made five mistakes in holding the ball in 22 games.
— But Curry was not born like this. 73 wins that year in the playoffs, Curry made 19 mistakes in holding the ball in 18 games. Over the years, in addition to many horizontal muscles and bones, it is frightening to think about how other experience and techniques of curry are polished.
Most of the time, there is no shortcut. The ball sense and consciousness like Curry have to be polished and adapted for several years.
Step by step.
