"The Warriors have finally changed their defensive strategy."

Because the tactics used by the Spurs and the Warriors after the start of this game were completely unexpected by both sides, so in the entire first quarter of the game, the Spurs and the Warriors were in a state where no one could defend anyone, and the two sides were very happy to attack, but unlike the Spurs' tactics of tacit cooperation to the extreme, the Warriors' tactical cooperation, in the final analysis, also revolved around Stephen Curry, and compared with the Spurs' more flowering, the Warriors will rely more on Stephen Curry's personal finishing ability. So when Stephen Curry had a drop in shooting percentage due to physical exhaustion, the Warriors had to take the lead in making changes.

Generally speaking, the two teams in a stalemate, who makes the change first, means who is in a more difficult situation, because only when the situation is on the verge of getting out of control, or extremely dissatisfied with the situation on the court, the head coaches of both sides will take the initiative to seek change, and the problem that the Warriors are facing now is undoubtedly the former, if they do not change, the situation on the court will develop in a more and more unfavorable direction for the Warriors.

In the case that the offensive end has almost reached the extreme, the only direction that the Warriors can change is the defensive end, so after thinking about the whole quarter of the game, Mark Jackson was the main player on both sides, and after re-entering the court in the second half of the second quarter, he made changes to the Warriors' defensive strategy, directly giving up the joint defense and changing to man-to-man defense, ready to try to limit the Spurs' tactics of standing still and passing around in the case of man-to-man defense.

After the change in defensive strategy on the court, the Warriors lineup on the court also changed, and David Lee, who was assigned by Mark Jackson to play sixth man in today's game, continued to play after the official timeout after playing the first half of the second quarter with the Warriors' bench lineup, and he replaced small forward Harrison Barnes.

Harrison Barnes, who started in his rookie season and played the whole season as the main player, is also the focus of Mark Jackson's training, with solid basic skills, excellent movement ability, good athleticism, and selfless Harrison Barnes is one of the right-hand men that Mark Jackson has cultivated for Stephen Curry, but in today's game, Harrison Barnes's performance when he was opposite Meng Xu was a little unsatisfactory, not only did he not score 1 point on the offensive end, but he also repeatedly lost his position on the defensive end, So after deciding to change his defensive strategy against the Spurs, Mark Jackson was ready to try to make Draymond Green, who is more physically fit but not slow to move, defend Meng Xu.

"Hey, Meng, I'll prevent you from being able to move today." Draymond Green, who was arranged by the head coach to defend Meng Xu, was obviously very excited after getting this task, although he now wants to defend one of the greatest players in NBA history, but Green did not have the slightest stage fright, but after standing with Meng Xu, he made provocative remarks to Meng Xu.

"Really? Little one, I'm looking forward to your show. Unlike those rookies who will be a little cramped as long as they see themselves, this rookie of the Warriors has successfully attracted Meng Xu's attention, so Meng Xu now also wants to see if this guy's ability matches his mouth.

"Then you'll see!" After hearing the contempt in Meng Xu's words, Draymond Green, who was still excited just now, quickly turned gloomy, and was ready to give the old guy in front of him a good look in the next game.

For the Warriors' change of formation, Popovich was also aware of it when he was suspended just now, but Popovich chose to respond to all changes with the same, and when the Warriors' changes really worked, it was not too late for him to make targeted changes, although in the general tactical direction, the Spurs did not change much, but in the details, the Spurs still made some adjustments, and the first quarter was almost standing still, unlike the passing that was almost standing still, the Spurs' running and movement after the pause increased significantly.

Compared with the quick pass of standing still, the Spurs' current fast pass of running up is undoubtedly more difficult and will undoubtedly make more mistakes, but Popovich still wants to try, after all, after the Warriors, the Spurs will face a stronger opponent.

"This kid really has two brushes." Meng Xu, who has been activated, met Draymond Green's close defense before receiving a pass from his teammates, compared to defending Meng Xu Harrison Barnes in the first quarter of the game, Draymond Green's defense undoubtedly made Meng Xu a little more uncomfortable, Green's height is about the same as Meng Xu, and Green, who is a big forward in the first position, is not bad at all in terms of strength, the key to Meng Xu's surprise is that this guy's physical flexibility is very good, and his movement speed is not slow at all.

And after Meng Xu used his body to squeeze Green away and naturally received Parker's pass, this guy quickly stuck up again, and when Meng Xu was about to use his speed to forcibly get rid of Green, he was tripped by this guy with a small movement and couldn't continue to accelerate.

Although this guy's defensive skills still need to be polished, his physical fitness is definitely very good, and he doesn't look like a rookie at all in the use of small movements, especially when facing Meng Xu, he dares to use small actions, this kind of courage alone is worthy of admiration, so Meng Xu decided to let him have a long experience and help him enrich his experience.

Under the defense of Draymond Green, Meng Xu, who had been holding the ball for more than two seconds, obviously had no intention of passing, and after slowing down, Meng Xu, who was close to Draymond Green, was ready to force his back in front of Green and then shoot.

After stopping suddenly, Meng Xu did not take advantage of the moment when Green was shaken and turned around, but waited until Draymond Green stuck to it again, twisted left and right, and shook Green at a loss with a set of feints, before calmly turning around and jumping against Green's body.

Green, who was dizzy by Meng Xu's feint, jumped up after Meng Xu jumped after seeing Meng Xu jump, but Green, who had just jumped, felt that his left leg was like being shocked, and he was numb for a while, and Green waved his arms casually in a panic, but after an instant, Green was awakened by a whistle.

"Defensive foul!" Green, who looked confused, looked at the referee on duty who blew his foul a little overwhelmed, Green really didn't know what was going on, but looking at Meng Xu who was calmly walking towards the free throw line in front of him, Green knew that it must be this old guy who made trouble.

Green, who didn't look for the referee to theorize, walked to the edge of the paint area with a babbling mouth, stood beside Meng Xu, his eyes were fixed on Meng Xu, and he recalled every fragment just now, why did his left leg seem to have been hit by an electric current just now? What the hell did this guy do to himself just now?
